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

No need to discuss?

These two words suddenly exploded in King Runan's heart like thunder on a sunny day!

He thought about countless possibilities, but he never expected that Zhou Zheng would refuse so decisively!

There is even no room for negotiation.

At this moment, King Runan finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up from his seat.

"Do you know what you just said!?"

As if he still didn't want to believe it, King Runan scolded him in a deep voice.

Zhou Zheng had no expression on his face and nodded solemnly.

"Boy, don't toast me and you'll be punished by drinking wine!"

"Without my help, it would be impossible for you to survive and die well, let alone ascend to the throne."

The clenched fists creaked, and King Runan almost growled with a vicious voice.

"Emperor Tianjing has never really thought about making you emperor, so the officials are so unscrupulous!"

"Although the Marquis of Zhenbei is somewhat capable, the Zhenbei Army is no longer what it used to be and can no longer act as a deterrent."

"Your layout in Xiang County is nothing more than a small trick to His Majesty. It is impossible to shake the imperial court."

"Do you really think that you alone can turn the tide?"

"Without me! Those ministers and traitors will not let you go."

At this moment, King Runan was so angry that he lost his mind.

"Is it?"

"I am never afraid!"

"Those who want to kill me, want to take action against me, want to smear me and spread rumors about me, just come!"

"No matter what their methods are, no matter how tyrannical they are, I will never take a step back!"

Zhou Zheng held his head high, with a fearless look on his face.

Since he has chosen this path, he will never stop no matter what.

Zhou Zheng's attitude made King Runan a little stunned, and then he laughed wildly.

"Ignorant child, you are seeking death!"

King Runan admitted that Zhou Zheng was not simple, he had brains, ability and means!

But in this world, what matters in the end is strength!

Zhou Zheng is still too weak now. If his value had not been fully utilized by Emperor Tianjing, he would have become a dead man at this time.

How dare you talk so brazenly here, I just don’t understand.

"die?"

"If I don't want to die, no one in this world can kill me."

Zhou Zheng shook his head, not caring at all.

"Hahaha, I will ask you this!"

"What will you do if His Majesty passes the throne to several other princes?"

"At that time, you didn't even have the last chance."

King Runan's eyes flickered, as if he was making a final effort.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that no matter how popular Zhou Zheng is now, and no matter how capable Zhou Zheng is, what if Emperor Tianjing doesn't pass the throne to him?

When the new emperor ascends the throne, what can the old prince Zhou Zheng do? !

"No one can take away my things unless I don't want them."

"No one can do it!"

Zhou Zheng's determined voice was full of confidence and toughness.

"ignorance!"

In the end, King Runan could only say these two words.

"Then you mean we can't reach an agreement?!"

Zhou Zheng listened without commenting.

"I thought you were extremely smart, but I didn't expect you to be willing to become Emperor Tianjing's pawn."

"What a pity."

Sighing, King Runan seemed to have some regret on his face.

But this look was extremely ridiculous in Zhou Zheng's eyes.

Acting at this time is no longer necessary.

"Let Dao'er go, I will ask you to leave Lujiang County."

"From now on, the water from the well does not interfere with the water from the river."

"The next time we meet, let's do our best."

This is the bottom line for King Runan.

If he hadn't thought that Zhou Dao was still in Zhou Zheng's hands, he would have wished to give an order and send out thousands of troops to kill Zhou Zheng on the spot.

"No."

Since admonishing for cooperation is not possible, then let's just be on our own terms.

I thought that Zhou Zheng would realize that he had made the biggest concession, but he didn't expect that Zhou Zheng still stubbornly shook his head!

"Then what do you want?"

"Is it possible that you want to kill this king now!?"

"Whether you don't have the ability or the courage, you don't have the courage either."

It's not that King Runan looked down on Zhou Zheng, but looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, no one really dared to take action against King Runan.

"I, of course, dare not take action against the prince."

"Just like the prince doesn't dare to really kill me."

Zhou Zheng had a smile on his face.

Now that both parties have explained their words, Zhou Zheng has nothing to worry about.

No matter how murderous King Runan's words just now were, or even if he had any back-up plans, he would not dare to take action against Zhou Zheng.

Because that would undoubtedly give Emperor Tianjing a real chance to take action!

Now the two sides are in a delicate balance, and both sides need a perfect reason.

"Then what do you want?"

King Runan's pupils were dark and he asked in a low voice.

"According to His Majesty's decree, the rogue bandits will be put down."

Zhou Zheng's neither salty nor cool response made King Runan's face darken to the extreme again.

Isn't this just disgusting?

"Do you think the merits of Jiming Mountain are not enough?"

He sneered, how could King Runan not know that Emperor Tianjing was just trying to beat King Runan by pacifying the bandits.

"You are a smart person. Even if you don't cooperate with me, you don't have to do this."

"Don't you know Emperor Tianjing's purpose?"

"When two tigers fight, one must be wounded."

“The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins.”

Frowning his brows, he couldn't understand Zhou Zheng at all, let alone guess Zhou Zheng.

But his intuition told him that Zhou Zheng was definitely not someone who would just sit back and wait for death.

"Your Majesty is right."

"I have never been one to sit still and wait for death."

"However, this time, I must put down the bandits, all the bandits."

Zhou Zheng responded positively.

All bandits? ! ! !

"Zhou Zheng, you are going too far!"

His palms slammed down on the table, and the huge force knocked the food and wine on the table over on the spot.

This made it clear that he wanted to confront King Runan head-on to the end!

In recent years, bandits have been rampant, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the shadow of King Runan is indispensable behind them.

It’s just that no one has exposed it.

Now, is Zhou Zheng going to completely break through this layer of window paper? !

This means that you don’t give him any face at all, King Runan? !

"Too deceiving?"

"Your Majesty, your words are serious..."

Facing the almost furious King Runan, Zhou Zheng shook his head calmly.

"Uncle Emperor, I am doing this to save your life."
