northernbook Chapter 1567 Dead End
Chapter 1567 Dead End
Thousands of people roared, with the force of thunder!
Just the two words "Prince" made everyone hear the anger and murderous intent in it.
Their eyes were bloodshot and their faces were filled with murderous intent. At this moment, as long as Xiao Mu raised his arm, the last 10,000 elite Zhenbei Army of the Great Zhou would be able to defeat them with ease.
What about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, what about serving the country wholeheartedly!
They don’t care and they don’t want it!
In their eyes, there were only two words: Xiao Mu.
Everyone was shocked by this situation.
Even Xiao Guan's expression changed drastically at this moment, and he felt an extreme sense of uneasiness in his heart.
He never doubted the loyalty of the Zhenbei Army, and he never believed that Zhou Zheng was so successful that he could threaten his lord.
Therefore, the Zhenbei Army can truly exert its strength and many generals can be treated well.
But the situation now is different.
Because, what he saw was the loyalty of the Zhenbei Army! But this loyalty was not directed at the emperor, the court, or the Great Zhou, but only at Xiao Mu!
At this moment, Xiao Guan realized the influence of the Xiao family in the hearts of the Zhenbei Army. He also finally understood why Emperor Tianjing was so afraid of the Xiao family and even tried every possible means to weaken the Xiao family.
Because, as long as the Xiao family is still there, as long as the King of Zhenbei is still alive, they will always make the emperor sleepless and uneasy.
Throughout history, which emperor could accept such threats around him? Which monarch could really let such threats continue to exist or even grow stronger?
Not to mention Emperor Tianjing, even Zhou Zheng would not be able to do it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Guan's heart beat faster and cold sweat broke out.
Shock was all over his pale face.
Not only him, but also Zhou Ping, Yun Yun, Yun Xi and others, their breathing was disordered and their palms were full of sweat.
They thought of countless possibilities, but none of them expected that the last 10,000 remaining Zhenbei troops would behave like this.
The development of things has long been out of control.
In fact, it is more serious than the previous situation where some people used the so-called astrology to mislead the military, and it is ten or a hundred times more serious.
The kneeling just now, the unwillingness in the roar, and the scarlet murderous intent in the eyes all made them clearly know that these 10,000 elite soldiers were really just the elite of the Zhenbei Army.
They should never, ever, make such a statement at this time.
Even though there was no outbreak or obvious rebellion, their behavior made everyone feel that they were a huge threat.
In the eyes of any emperor, such elite troops are not real elite troops, but dormant rebels who may replace them at any time!
Since ancient times, emperors have had only one choice for such elite troops, and that is to get rid of them as soon as possible.
At this time, if their identities were changed, anyone would make the same decision.
Even if I don't make such a decision today, I will definitely find ways to do so in the future.
Looking at this scene, Zhou Ping and others had complicated expressions, and even felt extremely agitated inside.
They knew that the Zhenbei Army was not against Zhou Zheng.
But given the current situation, there is no point in saying more.
They knew too well the efforts and sacrifices that King Zhenbei had made to protect the Zhenbei Army. Even at this critical moment, he would rather sacrifice his own life to protect the military spirit and discipline of the Zhenbei Army.
From this we can see that Xiao Mu paid too much.
However, all these efforts have become nothing in the face of this scene.
Everyone understood that the 10,000 Zhenbei Army soldiers did nothing wrong.
Some even thought that the actions of these 10,000 elite Zhenbei Army soldiers were a thorough expression of loyalty and righteousness, but unfortunately, all this was not reality after all.
Who is right and who is wrong?
Who can tell clearly?
However, everyone understood that when the Zhenbei Army expressed its attitude through roaring, it was too late.
The most secretive spy hidden among the other soldiers and generals never expected that things would develop to this point.
They were ecstatic, their pupils dilated, and looked very proud.
Perhaps, there is no need for the imperial army to arrive at the city, these ten thousand Zhenbei troops can kill Zhou Zheng.
Because the current situation is basically a dead end!
If Xiao Guan and Xiao Mu are not killed, the so-called iron discipline of the Zhenbei Army will be a joke.
Over the past few decades, countless Zhenbei soldiers have sacrificed their lives to obtain this ironclad record. It is simply nothing more than that.
From then on, the Zhenbei Army fell from the altar.
At best, it is just an elite force with strong combat power.
Their wish to leave their names in history and to be admired by future generations is no longer possible.
Xiao Mu would not allow such a situation to happen.
The hundreds of thousands of Zhenbei soldiers who died would not agree to such a situation.
But if Xiao Mu and Xiao Guan were killed, then the development of the situation would fall into a truly desperate situation.
These ten thousand elite soldiers have already prepared for the worst.
They would never allow the faith in their hearts to die in front of them. Even if the price was to be charged with rebellion, so what?
Ten thousand elite soldiers will never allow Zhou Zheng to kill Xiao Guan and Xiao Mu.
But, what if Zhou Zheng turns a blind eye and pretends that nothing happened today?
What do the remaining tens of thousands of Zhenbei troops think?
After the decisive battle, everything that happened here will definitely be spread through their mouths.
By then, what does it mean that Zhou Zheng is a wise and enlightened ruler?
What does it mean that the Zhenbei Army is an iron army?
They can only become a joke among the people and the world. Those heroic deeds and the legends of battles will gradually become a means of ostentation and whitewashing achievements in the minds of the people.
Zhou Zheng didn't want to see that kind of result!
This is something that Xiao Mu and Xiao Guan do not want to see, and the Zhenbei Army does not want to see even more.
"God helps me, it really helps me!"
"It was originally just a simple rumor to confuse the public, but I never expected it to develop to this point. It's really unimaginable."
"This game is simply a dead end!"
There was a spy whispering in his mind, his heart was surging with emotions and he wanted to broadcast it live for the whole world to see.
The spies who have been able to stay dormant until now are all truly capable spies. They naturally have a long-term perspective.
There was Lei Tong in the past, and there is Xiao Mu now.
Taking photos and responding to each other, a fatal double kill!
"Zhou Zheng, it's God's will!"
"This time, even the gods can't save you, I say!"
These spies now only need to do one thing: wait!
Just wait for the right time, wait for a big turmoil.
Hoo ho ho! ! ! !
The atmosphere at the scene was depressing, and everyone could sense the lows that had fallen to the bottom. An invisible pressure permeated the entire city, causing countless people to tremble with fear.
Xiao Guan had a look of desperate guilt on his face.
He never thought that the Zhenbei Army would eventually put Zhou Zheng in such a deadly situation.
At this moment, he wanted to slap himself twice.
If he had known this would happen, he would not have knelt down and begged for death.
Perhaps, if Xiao Guan were still here, the situation of these 10,000 Zhenbei troops would not be what it is now.
But now Xiao Guan wanted to stand up, but found it was too late.
Because it has already happened, it is too late.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry..."
A bitter smile, his heart full of guilt.
The scene changed so quickly that many people were unable to react. Even Xiao Mu was a little confused at this moment.
He was in tears and full of thoughts.
He was moved, moved by the loyalty and courage of the 10,000 Zhenbei Army soldiers who refused to abandon him or give up, and vowed to protect him to the death and to stick with him through life and death.
He was sad, sad because the final problem seemed to be thrown to Zhou Zheng.
Now, with a powerful enemy at hand, his 10,000 elite soldiers, who were supposed to be Zhou Zheng's biggest trump card, seemed to have become the biggest executioner who wanted to kill Zhou Zheng...
Why, why did it turn out like this?
Xiao Mu burst into tears.
The wind blew, and the whistling sound filled the sky.
"I am really old..."
Xiao Mu had fought on the battlefield all his life, killing with determination and courage. But for the first time, he felt powerless.
Because he didn't know what he should do next, let alone what he could do next.
It seemed that, at this moment, he had become the biggest traitor!
But unfortunately, I am unable to correct it.
……
On the tenth day after surgery, I was re-examined and my eyes could sense light, which is a good sign that I will not be completely blind. This may be the only good news in recent times, but the intraocular pressure is too high and the fundus condition is still unstable. At the same time, I checked the retina. It was attached after surgery, but I still need to lie on my stomach for three months to prevent subsequent detachment. The biggest problem now is still the macula. I will continue to re-examine next week and report the situation to the book friends then.
