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

Gan Mo secretly led some of the elites and hurried towards the Black Triangle Domain on a starry night.

However, things did not calm down in Kyoto.

While Yunxi was recovering from her injuries, everything seemed calm in the DPRK, but in fact, dark waves were surging.

When countless courtiers focused their attention on the situation in the northern border, they also began to secretly send their confidants to different corners of the Zhou Dynasty.

At the same time, Emperor Tianjing did not stop.

With the help of Gu Jiang's power, he secretly collects changes in the world.

However, these actions seemed hidden, but everything was under Zhou Zheng's control.

Even though Gong Tan and Zhou Ping had already wanted to use this time to catch all those with evil intentions and kill them all. Unfortunately, Zhou Zheng shook his head.

In his words, killing is very simple.

But choosing when to kill is the most important thing.

"It's just a bunch of clowns, just let them dance."

"When the battle with Daxia is over, it will be the best time for me to reorganize the imperial court and wipe out the world with blood!"

Turning his eyes, Zhou Zheng's voice was filled with murderous intent.

If there could only be one voice in this world, it could only be his Zhou Zheng's voice!

"Prince, we've found out!"

Not long after, Su Xun'er walked up to Zhou Zheng with a serious look on her face and spoke in a deep voice.

And her appearance made Zhou Zheng's expression become much more serious.

"As expected by His Highness, everything is inextricably related to the three major families."

Su Xun'er's nonsensical response made Zhou Zheng's eyes flash with cold light!

"The three major families have secretly gathered a large number of alchemists."

"Moreover, some sulfur and nitrate are extracted!"

Su Xun'er's confident tone undoubtedly confirmed Zhou Zheng's original guess.

The most critical materials for refining black gunpowder are sulfur and nitrate. At the current level of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is almost difficult for anyone except warlocks to refine it.

The first battle in the Northern Territory consumed almost most of the black powder materials in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In addition, Emperor Tianjing secretly obtained the tempering method and searched for all the remaining ones. Therefore, Zhou Zheng now had the method to temper black gunpowder, but he was unable to create black gunpowder.

But his intuition told Zhou Zheng that things would never be that simple.

"If the three major families dare to do this, I'm afraid there are people behind them."

Su Xun'er's pretty eyebrows narrowed slightly and she reminded Zhou Zheng carefully.

Who else but Emperor Tianjing could allow the three major families to take such great risks to do such a thing at this juncture!

Once Emperor Tianjing used the three major families to refine black gunpowder outside, Zhou Zheng might not be able to hold it back with Zhou Zheng's current strength in Kyoto!

These guys are so brave!

If Zhou Zheng hadn't forcefully requested to take a stake in the businesses of the three major families and asked Su Xun'er to send people to stay in the three major families, I'm afraid this secret would still be difficult to discover until now.

"Prince, how about we completely wipe out the three great families!"

"Although there will be some price to pay, leaving them behind is a real danger!"

A rare hint of cruelty appeared in Su Xun'er's beautiful eyes.

In this world, no matter who dares to have any negative factors against Zhou Zheng, she will erase them without hesitation.

Even if it is the three major families, so what? !

"It seems that they are very dissatisfied with me."

Zhou Zheng closed his eyes lightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"However, since they like the network warlock and tempering sulfur and nitrate, let them go."

However, Zhou Zheng's response surprised Su Xun'er.

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Prince, they are not good people."

The girl frowned, Su Xun'er obviously didn't know what Zhou Zheng's purpose was.

"At present, the imperial treasury is empty, coupled with limited energy, I do not have that much energy and money to deal with these matters for the time being."

"Since they are willing to help me, let them do it."

Zhou Zheng shook his head, slowly opened his eyes, with a smile on his face, and spoke meaningfully.

"Your Highness, do you want to borrow their hands to obtain the raw materials for black powder?"

Su Xun'er is smart and can make sense at a glance.

Zhou Zheng was noncommittal.

"They're just a bunch of clowns."

Waving his hand, Zhou Zheng's real focus was obviously not on them.

"How's it going over there at Meng Huo?"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng changed the subject.

What he is most concerned about now is Meng Sheng's progress.

At the moment, it seems that Zhou Zheng is supervising the country, but in fact, the storm is getting bigger and bigger.

The whole country, countless eyes, and countless forces are paying attention to the battle in the northern land.

Although the Great Xia Kingdom is now just a tentative attack and has not dispatched its entire army, everyone knows that this is just a matter of time.

Once the Great Xia Kingdom breaks through the defense line in the northern territory, Zhou Zheng can be sure that the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will be completely in chaos.

Because the Zhenbei Army, Zhou Zheng's biggest support, is gone, which means that the biggest fear of Zhou Zheng from all the forces has disappeared!

That is, it is inevitable that the princes will raise their troops, separate one side and establish themselves as kings.

And if he wants to reverse this situation, Musket is Zhou Zheng's only hope and opportunity!

"Hundreds of disciples of the Mohist School are studying day and night."

"But now it's difficult."

Su Xun'er's contact lenses were a little dazed.

She had no idea what the musket Meng Sheng was making was, let alone why Zhou Zheng bet everything on the musket.

Zhou Zheng invested all the wealth brought from Xiangjun and the entire Su family's current accumulation without blinking an eye.

Zhou Zheng agreed to whatever Meng Sheng wanted.

In Zhou Zheng's words, as long as the Mo family can temper a musket, he will not hesitate to invest no matter how much it costs!

If it weren't for her trust in Zhou Zheng, Su Xun'er even thought that Zhou Zheng had gone crazy.

"Daxia has already started to take action."

"We don't have much time left."

Zhou Zheng's fist tightened slightly. He knew better than anyone that with Zhou's current level, it would not be easy to build muskets in batches.

But now, this is the only way left.

After all, even with all the efforts of the country, there is still no way to produce enough black gunpowder to expel Daxia.

But the musket is different.

He only needs a very small amount of gunpowder to drive it, and while avoiding waste, he has even more terrifying lethality!

The key is, besides them, who else in the world can imitate this thing? !

Of course, the premise is that Meng Sheng and the others can produce this thing within three months.

"Prince..."

Sensing the vague worry on Zhou Zheng's face, Su Xun'er spoke softly.

Finally, he approached Zhou Zheng, standing on tiptoes, his red lips gently falling.

A hint of tenderness made Zhou Zheng's body stiffen suddenly, and then he wrapped his right arm around his waist, hugged Su Xun'er in his arms, and kissed her domineeringly.

Just when Zhou Zheng was forgetful, Su Xun'er pushed Zhou Zheng away.

Biting her red lips lightly, her eyes blurred, and then she pursed her lips and smiled, "No matter what the outcome is, Xun'er will be with you in life and death."
