Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Zhou Zheng's sudden voice caused King Runan's expression to change suddenly.

"Are you not drunk?"

His pupils shrank, King Runan suppressed the panic in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

Today's wine is the old wine in his mansion. Not to mention that Zhou Zheng is only twenty years old, even if he were one of those drunkards, according to today's legal rules, he would definitely be drunk!

But after raising his head, Zhou Zheng twisted his neck and moved his arms. Although there was still a trace of flushing on his face, his eyes were no longer blurry as before, and instead were filled with a clear sense of shrewdness.

This look doesn't look like he's drunk!

But he clearly saw with his own eyes that Zhou Zheng refused everyone who came and drank a lot.

"I drank high-quality liquor in my previous life."

"It's said that if you don't pour beer, you won't get drunk with white wine. How can you make me drunk?"

He sneered in his heart, but Zhou Zheng did not respond directly.

"Your Majesty has put in all the effort, and it seems that it's not just for a glass of wine."

"There is no one around now. Everyone thinks I am drunk."

"Then why don't you open the skylight and speak frankly?"

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, suppressed the trace of fatigue in his body, looked at King Runan with interest, and got straight to the point.

"Ha ha!"

"You are quite a happy person."

"In that case, I will tell you directly."

"Hand over your things."

King Runan spread his hands and spoke in a deep voice when he met Zhou Zheng's eyes.

"thing?"

"what?"

Zhou Zheng frowned slightly, but remained calm.

King Runan was not surprised by this calmness and answer, and even nodded involuntarily.

"It's really admirable to be so calm under such circumstances."

"Among all the princes, you used to be the most ignored one, but now it seems that you are the real role."

I don't know if King Runan's words were an affirmative approval of Zhou Zheng, or if he said them deliberately.

"You are determined not to tell me. Under normal circumstances, I don't seem to have any more options."

Looking up at the few stars mixed in the night, King Runan's voice was a little thick.

He originally wanted to get Zhou Zheng drunk and then get some information out of him.

But now it seems that this method no longer works.

"However, when I do something, I always make preparations."

King Runan's voice was very calm at this time, and even his mentality and demeanor were calm.

But this kind of calmness gives people a great sense of oppression.

"When His Majesty sent you to Lujiang County, I wonder if you really got to know me?"

"Come to think of it, you probably haven't either."

Looking at Zhou Zheng again, King Runan had a kind smile on his wrinkled face.

"I followed His Majesty in the south and north, and killed countless enemy bandits."

"I don't know how much blood is on my hands, and I don't know how many souls have died at my hands."

"His Majesty once personally evaluated me. He said that my greatest characteristics are cruelty and courage!"

King Runan seemed to be recalling the past, with a hint of fluctuation in his eyes.

"This world has never been a kind world. The only way to survive in this world is to fight bravely."

After hearing these words, Zhou Zheng did not refute.

Because he knows that this is the law of survival in this world.

It is an ancient truth that good people can be deceived by others.

"To stand in this world, a true man must be decisive and ruthless in his actions, and he must do whatever it takes to achieve his goals."

"This is my life creed."

"You and I are royal relatives, blood relatives in the true sense."

"Therefore, I advise you that it is best to hand over everything you have obtained from Dadipo and Jiming Mountain."

Even if Zhou Zheng set Dadipo and Jiming Mountain on fire and turned everything inside into nothingness, it would still be impossible to hide it from King Runan's eyes.

"I, I still don't know what the prince is talking about?"

Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, but still denied it.

Since King Runan didn't say those two things himself, how could Zhou Zheng be the first to speak.

"Is it?!"

"In this case, you can't blame me."

"If you die in Tianfeng City, I will give you a decent reason."

"I would like to report to the imperial court that you have made great achievements in quelling the bandits. You killed the enemy heroically, but you accidentally died in battle."

This time, King Runan no longer concealed his murderous intent.

"Hand over the things, and I can give you a way to survive."

"Otherwise, today will be your death."

This is the real purpose of King Runan!

He wanted to get back the treasure map from Zhou Zheng's hands, and some evidence that Jiming Mountain might be involved with King Runan.

If he couldn't get it, Zhou Zheng, Zhou Ping and everyone else would die in Tianfeng City.

These words made Zhou Zheng's pupils keep turning.

"Does Your Majesty know the consequences of this?!"

With a low roar, Zhou Zheng's eyes showed a sharp feeling.

At this moment, everything became clear.

This is not a celebration banquet, this is clearly the Hongmen Banquet!

The King of Runan hosted a banquet with the intention of Zhou Zheng!

"as a result of?"

"All these consequences are your own fault. All these consequences are caused by the imperial court. All these consequences are caused by Emperor Tianjing himself!"

"Back then, I did whatever it took to help him win the throne, and I did whatever it took to help him ascend to the throne!"

"He even killed several royal brothers with his own hands regardless of brotherhood!"

"It would be good for him to ascend to the position in the name of a benevolent and righteous king, spread benevolence widely, and even spared the old and the young!"

"As for other sins, let me bear them alone!"

"I don't care about all this!"

"But he should never, never should, let you come over to pacify the bandits, and shouldn't let you come over to interfere in the affairs of Lujiang County."

With his fists clenched, King Runan seemed to be letting out all the repression he had buried in his heart over the years.

"It has been said since ancient times that the royal family is the most ruthless. The King of Deficits had some illusions before, but now it seems that this is no longer necessary."

Slowly exhaling the turbid air from his chest, King Runan shook his head.

"Kill me and the court will not let you go. Your Majesty will not let you go, and the world will not let you go."

Zhou Zheng puffed up his chest, without much fear on his face.

"Is it?"

"Are you still lying to yourself at this time?"

"It is indeed a bit troublesome for me to kill you, but that's all."

"Who among the civil and military officials in the dynasty doesn't want you to die?"

"Even His Majesty has the same purpose. If they really kill you, they will all have to thank me."

"As for the people of the world?"

"Those are just ants, why should we be afraid?"

There was a chill in King Runan's eyes. He had already weighed the pros and cons.

"You, King Runan, alone cannot kill me."

Zhou Zheng looked at King Runan with complicated eyes.

"Don't worry, naturally it's not me who will take action."

Taking a step back, King Runan waved his hands with a sinister smile.

clap clap clap! ! !

Crisp applause spread in the air.

But King Runan's expression gradually darkened.

Because there was no movement in the entire surrounding, it was deathly quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little scared.
