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

At the end of the winding path, there is a table and two chairs.

A man in black, his head wrapped in black gauze, was sitting swaggeringly.

There was a pot of tea and two teacups on the table, obviously waiting for Zhou Zheng.

Such a look made Zhou Zheng, Gong Tan and others twitch at the corners of their mouths, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"I've seen people showing off, but I've never seen people showing off in these deep mountains and forests."

Zhou Zheng was speechless for a while. This guy obviously waited for Zhou Zheng here on purpose, but his method made him very unhappy.

After all, Zhou Zheng also likes to show off, but this is the first time he has seen such pretentiousness.

"Just wait for me at a distance."

However, looking at the other party's appearance, at least he didn't have any murderous intentions, so Zhou Zheng also signaled Gong Tan and others to retreat first.

"Don't worry, if the other party really wants to take action, we won't have a chance to stand here."

Seeing Gong Tan, Hao Wang and others worried, Zhou Zheng waved his hand.

Being able to clearly know their route, and even arrange it here in advance, is enough to show that the opponent's ability is greater than they imagined. For such people, not to mention they only have more than ten people, even if there are thirty or fifty people, they will not be able to do it. Method.

In this case, it is better to be more free and easy.

Seeing Zhou Zheng's words, everyone had no choice but to give up.

"His Royal Highness, you are really courageous."

When Zhou Zheng walked up to the man in black, the man just looked up. A black silk scarf surrounded most of her face, which could only be seen by turning her eyes.

However, those eyes that were originally a little cloudy suddenly shone with a rare light when they saw Zhou Zheng.

Alone, just being able to appear in front of him is enough to show Zhou Zheng's courage.

"Your Excellency is very courageous."

Zhou Zheng did not doubt that he was there, and sat directly opposite the man in black, then made tea and started drinking by himself.

He didn't take the man in black in front of him into consideration at all.

This so calm place made Gong Tan, Hao Wang and others who were extremely nervous in the distance confused, but actually became a lot more excited.

"As expected of His Royal Highness, your character is beyond our reach!"

"Everyone in the world doesn't think highly of the prince, but in terms of courage, strategy and even talent, none of the princes can match him!"

Hao Wang took a deep breath. Along the way, Zhou Zheng's performance kept refreshing his understanding. His previous doubts about why the prince chose to stand with Zhou Zheng had long since disappeared.

In fact, Hao Wang vaguely felt that this might be the most correct decision the prince had made.

As for Gong Tan, although she was heartbroken, she had to admit that Zhou Zheng's fearless image at this time made her heart move again: "If His Highness really wants it, even if it is given, so what!"

A shy thought rose from the bottom of her heart, making the blush on Gong Tan's face even more intense.

Only Zhou Zheng seemed to be drinking tea alone, but in fact he was panicking inside.

"You mustn't do anything at this time."

"I haven't lived enough since I traveled through time. Even Gong Tan hasn't slept yet. I don't think there are three thousand concubines in the Three Palaces and Sixth Ward. I haven't even gone to Chunlou to have fun!"

Zhou Zheng kept praying in his heart, and his back became sweaty without knowing it.

But Zhou Zheng still suppressed the panic in his heart and remained silent.

"Your Highness, aren't you going to say something?"

After a cup of tea, the man in black across from him finally spoke.

Just this question made Zhou Zheng curse in his heart: "It's your mother's fault, I'm talking about it! Did you ask me to come?"

However, Zhou Zheng still acted calmly: "You should be the one who wants to say something."

Putting the tea cup down, Zhou Zheng raised his head and while tapping his fingers on the table, he stared at the man in black and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I will kill you!?"

The man in black laughed evilly, moved forward slightly, pulled out a big knife from under the table, and placed it on the table.

The bang made Gong Tan and others in the distance feel their hearts in their throats.

But Zhou Zheng just glanced at the sword from the corner of his eye and was not moved at all.

"kill me?"

"There are many people who have killed me, why should I fear you alone?"

With his arms stretched out, this threat was of no use to Zhou Zheng.

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

"afraid!"

"Who is not afraid of death?"

"But some things may be useless."

Zhou Zheng frowned slightly. He had encountered countless crises since his rebirth, but Zhou Zheng was still living well.

"If you're here just for this nonsense, I don't think it's necessary."

Zhou Zheng stared at the man in black again. Until now, he still didn't know the true identity of the man in black, nor what his purpose was this time.

"Your Highness is a happy person."

The man in black laughed, and then his expression became serious.

"The prince's next stop this time is Quancheng?"

"That's right!"

"Your Highness, are you planning to take another path?"

"not going to!"

Quancheng is the nearest city. If you change again, you will need to travel more than two hundred miles.

With the current situation of Hao Wang and others, they may not be able to hold on for that long.

Moreover, they were exhausted from chasing them all the way, and only the city was one of the safest places.

"Quan City is full of crises, and someone has given the order that Your Highness should die in it."

The man in black thought for a moment, then slowly spoke.

His words surprised Zhou Zheng. He knew that the man in black had no murderous intention towards him, but he did not expect to tell Zhou Zheng so openly that there was danger inside.

"The guard of Quancheng is the direct relative of the second prince. There are many people and even many criminals from the Great Zhou Dynasty inside."

"It is not impossible for anyone to die in it."

The man in black also poured a cup of tea and spoke slowly.

The further north you go, the weaker the court's control is, even if there are court officials sitting in charge!

The imperial court has lost control of Quancheng many times in recent years, but the situation in Quancheng is more complicated than imagined.

Zhou Zheng remained silent.

He knows all these situations!

"Do you have a better way?"

Lifting his eyelids, Zhou Zheng asked in a deep voice.

"No."

The man in black did not expect Zhou Zheng to ask such a direct question, and immediately shook his head.

"Then you are not talking nonsense?"

Zhou Zheng pursed his lips. What this guy said was of almost no use to him.

Hearing Zhou Zheng's words, the corners of the man in black's mouth twitched.

"Tell the people behind you that no matter what your status is, I can give you a chance."

When Zhou Zheng turned to leave, his footsteps paused slightly, and then he left these words.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

The man in black obviously didn't understand what Zhou Zheng said.

"An opportunity to follow me!"

"You may not understand this sentence, but the person behind you should understand it."

Afterwards, Zhou Zheng left without saying a word.

Looking at Zhou Zheng's back, the man in black was lost in thought, his eyes flickering and his expression complex.

......

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know who is behind you."

"Let you show off in front of me!"

"The way you pretend to be cool is too low-level. The way I pretend to be cool is high-level."

"After all, I don't even know what I meant by what I just said."

Zhou Zheng strode forward, muttering to himself.

If the man in black heard this, he would probably vomit blood on the spot!
