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

The time for peace talks is getting closer.

And the news finally spread in the northern land.

For a time, the focus of everyone's discussion was on the peace talks, and some people even briefly forgot about the assassination of Lord Zhen Guo.

Dazhou and Daxia have been in constant disputes since their founding.

But in the past, it was almost always Dazhou who took the initiative to seek peace talks with Daxia and provided many benefits.

Even for a long time, in order to protect his own stability, Dazhou adopted the method of marriage, which can be said to be quite humiliating.

Even a few years ago, Emperor Tianjing tried to treat Tuoba Lie as brothers, and so would his descendants in the future.

It’s just that anyone with a discerning eye knows that Daxia is the brother and Dazhou is the emperor.

Fortunately, that time, because of Zhou Zheng's relationship, it didn't really happen.

Unexpectedly, times have changed, and in just a few years, the relationship between the Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The current big week has won several times in a row, and every time it is a big success.

This gave the people of Zhou Zheng a little more confidence and pride, and all of this was because of Zhou Zheng.

"You said that this time, Daxia came to peace talks, for what reason?"

"Hmph, no matter what the reason is, it shows that I, Da Zhou, have become a lot more tyrannical."

"That's right, all of this is the present emperor's sage."

"It is said that the emperor has begun to establish schools in various places across the country. From now on, children from poor families can study."

"That's great. If our children could read, maybe they wouldn't be bullied like they are."

Countless people in the northern lands are looking forward to the peace talks the next day.

The place chosen for the peace talks is Tianyu City, the largest city in the Northern Territory!

Tianyu City is the core of the entire northern land, not only because there are a large number of aristocratic families gathered here, but also because the Duke's Mansion and the Heroic Marquis' Mansion are located here.

Since Xiao Mu was appointed as the Marquis of Zhenbei, and now for decades, the one he has been running for the longest time is the current Tianyu City.

People were coming and going, and it was very lively.

In Tianyu City, it is also filled with dignitaries, as well as merchants from the Daxia Kingdom and the Yuan Dynasty.

In peaceful times, the prosperity here would be no less prosperous than in Kyoto.

The reason why Tianyu City was chosen was that the entire Tianyu City was surrounded by high walls, like a huge city.

If any accident occurs, the city gate will be closed tightly with an order, and even a sparrow will not be able to fly out.

Secondly, the entire Tianyu City is filled with spies of the Xiao family.

Any disturbance will reach Xiao Guan's ears immediately.

Of course, more importantly, it shows the power of Da Zhou.

Although Tuoba Lie was not present at the peace talks this time, it was not difficult to see from Zhou Zheng's demeanor that he was taking it far more seriously than Tuoba Lie.

Who can make Zhou Zheng so interested?

But no matter who it is, they all need to show the opponent Zhou's strength.

This will better deter these guys.

"Your Majesty, everything is arranged."

"The place for peace talks is at Tianyantai."

At the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Hu thought about it for a long time before he and Xiao Guan decided on the place for the peace talks.

Tianyan Terrace is located at the northern end of Tianyu City. It is the place where the Northern Territory goes to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings every time. It can be said to be extremely solemn and solemn.

The entire Tianyan Platform is like an arena rising from the ground.

There are eighteen stairs in total, and the top is a platform no more than ten feet in size.

Here, there is the chilling atmosphere of the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there is also a height to peer into the world and see all the small ones.

The most important thing is that the entire Tianyan Terrace is surrounded by flat land with almost no buildings.

It is almost impossible to assassinate people here.

Even the house closest to Tianyan Terrace is still hundreds of feet away.

At this distance, let alone assassination, it is not easy to see clearly the figure on Tianyan Platform.

Moreover, the most powerful bows and arrows have a range of only fifty battles. Although the range of muskets is longer, it is extremely difficult to reach a hundred feet.

To put it ten thousand steps back, so what if it can shoot to a hundred feet?

At this distance, the power can already be ignored.

And around Tianyan Platform, Xiao Hu had arranged many confidants.

In this way, even if not all Zhenbei troops were recalled, it would still be enough to protect Zhou Zheng's safety.

"Everything is done."

Zhou Zheng has 100% trust in Xiao Hu and the others, so he has no objections to the position of Tianyantai.

But Zhou Zheng frowned. If it were really like this, it would be extremely difficult to assassinate him.

In this way, the other party cannot follow the plan. If he doesn't take action, how can he catch the real murderer behind him faster?

Of course, Zhou Zheng did not express this idea, otherwise Xiao Hu would collapse instantly.

"The news is coming, a group of people are coming from the direction of Daxia Kingdom."

"It is expected that we will arrive at Tianyu City at ten minutes tomorrow."

Xiao Hu reported quickly.

Zhou Zheng nodded, was he finally going to meet the so-called foreigner?

......

The Great Zhou Dynasty, along the southern coast.

Su Ming was busy with everyone.

Although he was nominally running the sea salt business along the coast, he knew very well that he had a more important responsibility.

It's just that in this coastal area, it's a bit boring, far less prosperous than in Beijing.

Fortunately, this matter was done for Zhou Zheng, so Su Ming did not dare to show any slights.

"Wang Dayuan, I said you have been chattering and absent-minded recently. What's wrong?"

When Su Ming was pulled aside by Wang Dayuan again, there was a hint of irritation on his face.

I really don’t know why this Pirate King, who has experienced life and death and is not afraid of anything, has been acting weird and hesitant these past two days.

"Master Su!"

"My eyes have been beating constantly in the past two days, and I always have a bad feeling."

Wang Dayuan finally couldn't help but speak.

It was just his words that made Su Ming sneer.

Then Wang Dayuan was pushed over. His task here was quite heavy, and he didn't have any time to talk nonsense with Wang Dayuan here.

"If you have something to say, say it, if you have something to say, let it go. Don't delay the work of labor and management."

After saying this, Su Ming looked like he was going to walk away.

Seeing this, Wang Dayuan finally panicked.

"His Majesty!"

He gritted his teeth and growled two words.

When Su Ming heard the word "Your Majesty," he was excited, and his expression instantly became serious.

"what do you want to say in the end?!"

Su Ming did not dare to show any slightness.

"Your Majesty, there is danger."

"And it's a life-and-death disaster!"

Wang Dayuan lowered his voice.

"You, where did you get the news!?"

These words instantly made Su Ming tremble, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Now that the world is peaceful, how can Your Majesty avoid future dangers?

"Yes, I figured it out..."

However, when Wang Dayuan told the truth, Su Ming rolled his eyes and wished he could slap him right now.
