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

Chapter 1535 News

"Your Majesty, we are defeated..."

"Five thousand elite soldiers, all wiped out, not a single one left alive."

At this time, more than ten of Lei Tong's personal guards finally escaped back safely.

With tears in their eyes and trembling voices, they reported everything they had seen to Zhou Zheng.

Hearing these words, everyone present's heart skipped a beat, but their expressions did not change much. Because from the beginning, Zhou Zheng had no intention of letting these five thousand people come back alive.

They are nothing more than spies planted in the Zhenbei Army by a group of aristocratic families. It would be a shame to let them live.

"Where's the Thunder Copper!?"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng opened his eyes slightly, and then his body stood up involuntarily.

When others heard this, they also took it more seriously.

They could ignore the 5,000 Northern Guards, but they couldn't ignore Lei Tong.

These are the real core elite, the comrades who fight side by side with them, and the important figures who will carry the banner in the future.

Especially Shi Sui and Yan Pan, they were extremely nervous.

The atmosphere in the entire inner hall changed instantly and became eerily quiet.

"I wait, I don't know."

"I only saw the general fighting bloody battles and charging into the enemy camp."

At this point, more than a dozen guards trembled all over, and they could no longer hold back their tears. They had thought countless times about living and dying together with Lei Tong, but they knew they still had a mission to complete.

But when they saw the entire battlefield was dead silent, they knew that Lei Tong might have died in the battle.

If it were anyone else, they might still be alive, but Lei Tong definitely couldn't.

Because they knew Lei Tong's character too well, it was impossible for him to defect suddenly, let alone surrender.

When two armies are at war, once these two options are gone, there is only one possibility left, and that is to fight to the death.

But how can a mere one person, even if he is a god descending from heaven, be a match for an army of 300,000? !

So, in their eyes, Lei Tong had already died a martyr for his country.

More than ten people had bloodshot eyes and bulging veins. If they didn't have to come back to report, with their temperament, they would have rushed into the imperial camp. Even if they knew it was a road to certain death, they would not have frowned.

Because a good death is far more powerful for them than living in disgrace.

Hoo ho ho! ! ! !

After hearing this, Zhou Zheng and Xiao Muzhou and others looked at each other, and they all felt an unprecedented relaxation.

The foul air that had been trapped in the chest was finally slowly released.

Because they knew very well that as long as they didn't hear any other noise, there was a possibility that Lei Tong's false surrender had succeeded.

Otherwise, according to the original agreement, once the false surrender failed, Lei Tong would certainly detonate the explosives on his body, and the huge noise would definitely not go unnoticed by these more than a dozen guards.

Of course, it is also possible that Lei Tong died in the battle before he had time to detonate the bomb.

But Zhou Zheng and the others absolutely believed in Lei Tong. He was not an ordinary soldier, nor was he an ordinary soldier.

Even if the imperial court met Lei Tong, they would definitely give him a chance to surrender.

"If anything happens to Lei Tong, I will definitely bury 300,000 soldiers with him!"

Zhou Zheng clenched his fists, knowing that he would know everything later. But he knew better than anyone that if Lei Tong died in battle because of him, he would never forgive himself, let alone the 300,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, we are willing to sneak into the imperial headquarters and retrieve the general's body."

While Zhou Zheng was still thinking, a soldier kneeling on the ground raised his head with a firm gaze and a persistent voice.

The ten people behind him had the same attitude.

Obviously, in their opinion, Lei Tong must be dead.

As Lei Tong's personal guards, the last thing they wanted to see was Lei Tong dying without a burial place.

No matter what, he must find a way to get back Lei Tong's body. If he fails, he will die in the place where Lei Tong died.

It can be said that they did not let down Lei Tong's kindness in recognizing their talents, nor did they let down their promise to Lei Tong.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zheng and others were deeply moved.

These are the soldiers they truly care about and respect, and these are the soldiers that the Great Zhou truly needs.

"I will give you an answer to General Lei's matter."

However, Zhou Zheng shook his head at this obvious act of seeking death.

He knew very well that if he let these people really go, Lei Tong would survive but they would die, which would not be a good result.

Even if Lei Tong really died in the battle, the fact that he personally asked these guards to stay in secret and bring the news back to him was enough to show that Lei Tong recognized and valued these guards.

No matter what the reason was, he absolutely did not want these guards to die on the battlefield. He did not want them to make a fearless sacrifice, but hoped that they could stay alive.

Zhou Zheng is Lei Tong's master, so he can naturally see all this clearly.

Shi Sui and Yan Pan didn't say anything, but they knew very well that Zhou Zheng would never agree.

"If we want revenge, you alone are not enough."

Sure enough, Zhou Zheng waved his hand, and there was no room for maneuver in his voice.

"If you want revenge, you have to do it in an effective way, not by showing off like this."

"Lei Tong doesn't want anything to happen to you. If you really listen to him, you shouldn't be so impulsive."

There was a hint of rebuke in Zhou Zheng's voice, and for a moment, the hearts of the dozen or so people who were originally eager for revenge suddenly sank.

However, their eyes were still flashing with blood, as if they had made up their minds.

Today, even if it means violating the Holy Order, they will definitely not stay here, but will seek revenge.

Zhou Zheng was very familiar with this kind of determined look.

He knew very well that these people had already prepared themselves to risk their lives.

"Before Lei Tong leaves, let me do him a favor!"

"And this favor is about the arrangements for more than ten of you."

Seeing this, Zhou Zheng had no choice but to change his strategy.

Although he had absolute authority as an emperor, he felt a bit of respect for these more than a dozen loyal and courageous people.

As expected, after hearing about the thunder copper, the expressions of more than ten people changed slightly.

"Lei Tong knows very well that if he encounters an accident, you guards will not let it go."

"He also knows that no one can stop you."

"but!"

"He told me that he has one thing left to do. If possible, he hopes that more than ten of you can help him fulfill this wish."

"After that, whatever choice you make is up to you."

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, looked at the dozen people, and spoke in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so guards straightened up again. They stared at Zhou Zheng with sharp eyes, obviously waiting.

No matter what their wish is, no matter what their request is, they will do it even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire!

"Lei Tong has no descendants. He hopes that you will get married and have children, and recognize him as your godfather."

"From then on, he offered sacrifices every year, and he had no regrets."

Hoo ho ho! ! !

Zhou Zheng slowly stood up and let out a long sigh.

This statement made the dozen or so guards a little confused. They looked at each other and had to admit that this reason sounded a bit ridiculous.

But everyone knows that Lei Tong has no wife or children.

They also knew that this sentence came from Zhou Zheng's mouth. As an emperor, Zhou Zheng had no reason to deceive them.

However, they had originally thought that it would be a matter of walking through fire and water, but now these dozen or so guards were caught off guard.

Not only them, but even Zhou Ping and others present were quite surprised.

For a moment, the entire hall fell silent again.

At this moment, Zhou Zheng looked around and a hint of guilt appeared in his eyes.

Everyone who followed me here had experienced life and death.

Apart from Xiao Guan, Zhou Ping, Shi Sui, Yan Pan, and even Gan Mo and others who were not by his side at the moment, they all seemed to be alone.

It seemed as if I had never thought about them starting a family.

But they had no regrets and followed me.

For a moment, Zhou Zheng's heart was extremely complicated.

"Once the world is stable, I will personally take charge of their marriage."

After making this decision secretly in his heart, Zhou Zheng once again turned his attention to the dozen or so guards.

"Yes!"

Sure enough, they always responded to Lei Tong's orders without hesitation.

Seeing this, Zhou Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, at least these dozen people can survive temporarily.

This is what Lei Tong would like to see most.
