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

Zhou Zheng returns to Beijing!

Along the way, the government must not embarrass the people!

As soon as the news came out, the world shook.

Who would have thought that now that the situation has changed drastically, Zhou Zheng still has the courage to return to Beijing!

Once he returns to Beijing, he will put his life and death in the hands of the imperial court.

Those hidden undercurrents couldn't help but take action after all. They wanted to save Zhou Zheng in the middle.

No one knows who these undercurrents are. Some people say that they are formed spontaneously by people from all over the country. Some people say that they are formed by people who have received gifts from Zhou Zheng. Others speculate that they are soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty in disguise.

No matter what the reason was, Zhou Zheng agreed to follow Gu Qianfan on his way back to Beijing, but he encountered countless interceptions and killings.

This kind of interception was naturally not to intercept Zhou Zheng, but to kill Gu Qianfan.

Even if Gu Qianfan is personally in charge, and even if there are elites like Black Cavalry to protect them, this journey is simply a journey through hell for them!

Gu Qianfan has always been arrogant, and he has never been afraid of these rabble.

But every time when he wanted to kill them all as a warning to others, Zhou Zheng would stand up and use his own life as a threat to ask Gu Qianfan to let these people go.

In Zhou Zheng's words, these are the people of Zhou Dynasty and should not die!

By the way, after Zhou Zheng waited for those people to leave, he would slap Gu Qianfan in public.

This weird scene stopped from Yangcheng until it reached the capital.

Along the way, Gu Qianfan was slapped at least ten times by Zhou Zheng.

Every time, Zhou Zheng would round his arms and slap them down without hesitation.

As a powerful man of the generation and the most trusted person around Emperor Tianjing, Gu Qianfan had never suffered such humiliation!

He clearly had countless opportunities to kill Zhou Zheng, but he just didn't dare!

It wasn't that Emperor Tianjing didn't want to kill Zhou Zheng, but that Zhou Zheng couldn't die before he got what Xiao Qing left behind.

The further away from Kyoto, the more the number of black knights decreases.

There were originally more than 8,000 elite cavalry, but in the end less than half remained.

This kind of consumption and loss is enough to make Gu Qianfan heartbroken.

He kept telling himself that if he endured it for a little longer, Zhou Zheng would no longer be able to make waves when he returned to Kyoto.

Sure enough, as they got closer and closer to Kyoto, the expressions of Gan Mo, Gong Tan and others became more and more serious.

Everyone knows that the most prosperous and wealthy place in the Great Zhou Dynasty is the most dangerous place for them now.

Zhou Zheng also rarely suppressed the smile on his face, and his eyes were slightly focused, looking towards the direction of Kyoto.

The place for the decisive battle is probably within Kyoto.

Along the way, Zhou Zheng has heard a lot of news.

But all the news is not good news for Zhou Zheng, and it is even quite passive.

Mu Yun, Gu Jiang and others were all thrown into the sky prison, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

The entire Su family was ransacked, and Su Ming, Yunxi, Su Xun'er and others were all arrested.

None of Mu Qingwan, Confucian Jiang Zheng, many great Confucians, and Mohist disciples escaped.

In short, those who followed Zhou Zheng did not end well.

"Your Highness, further ahead is Kyoto."

Gong Tan slowly walked to Zhou Zheng's side and spoke seriously.

"Gan Mo has made arrangements for the prince to break out tonight."

Lowering his voice, Gong Tan revealed his plan.

Gu Qianfan's nerves were tense along the way. The closer they got to Kyoto, the easier it was for them to relax.

Coupled with the increasing number of people coming and going, as long as we get out of trouble now, we have a chance to survive.

"Today, all the Musketeers will fight to the death to give the Crown Prince a chance."

There was a hint of determination and firmness in Gong Tan's words.

Everyone was prepared to die.

They had only one thought, and that was to keep Zhou Zheng alive.

"The land in the north is still under the control of the Marquis."

"Your Majesty, keep going all the way. When the time comes, if you raise your arms and call out, all the heroes in the world will definitely respond."

"If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about no firewood!"

There was a hint of tenderness in Gong Tan's words.

Following Zhou Zheng all the way, they never doubted Zhou Zheng's talent and ability.

If he hadn't been careless this time and fell into the trap that Emperor Tianjing had laid out for twenty years, the balance of victory and defeat might not be what it is today.

But they still have full confidence in Zhou Zheng.

What if the Mo family is gone? So what if the people around Zhou Zheng are gone?

As long as Zhou Zheng is still alive, Emperor Tianjing has no guarantee of victory.

"I'm leaving!?"

"what about you!"

Zhou Zheng frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Gong Tan didn't speak, but her eyes said everything.

The Musketeers were running out of bullets, so it was impossible to really stop Gu Qianfan. The only way was for them to buy time for Zhou Zheng at the cost of their own lives!

No one regrets it, they even look forward to it!

When Zhou Zheng sacrificed his life in exchange for the survival of the people of Yangcheng, everyone had already made their decision.

They are willing to die for Zhou Zheng!

"Your Highness, even without us, you still have a chance to make a comeback."

"Everyone in the world will follow you. Marquis Zhenbei still has soldiers in his hands, and you have Princess Yun Yun's help."

As Gong Tan spoke, he held Zhou Zheng's arm tightly with his palms.

They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that Zhou Zheng would not agree.

As expected, Zhou Zheng shook his head calmly.

"In this life, as long as I live, I have to protect the people I want to protect."

"If you are no longer here, what is the meaning of my living in this world?"

Zhou Zheng smiled with a calm expression on his face.

"Do you know why the imperial court is sending troops now?"

"It's because Emperor Tianjing knows that I will never leave."

"Because there are many people I care about in Kyoto."

"If I abandon you and them today and live alone in the world, then will I, Zhou Zheng, still be the Zhou Zheng you know?"

Zhou Zheng patted Gong Tan's jade wrist with his hand and whispered comfort.

"But......"

Even though she knew Zhou Zheng was right, Gong Tan still choked up.

In any case, she did not want Zhou Zheng to die in Kyoto.

Everyone knows that once Zhou Zheng steps into Kyoto, he will really have a narrow escape this time!

"Don't worry, I won't die that easily."

"Some things have to be faced and solved!"

"Since I can beat him once, I can beat him again."

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, light surged in his pupils, and murderous intent filled his words.

"This time, let's completely resolve the problem between me and Emperor Tianjing!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng once again exuded a powerful aura!

At this time, at the end of Zhou Zheng's sight, the city walls of Kyoto had slowly emerged!

Kyoto, here we come!
