Chapter 1580: Relying on crowd threats?!
"The general will not dare!"
Zhou Zheng's words made Qiu Li and Qiu Xian feel a little chilly and worried.
But their pupils moved and they soon regained their composure.
If they were just ordinary generals, they would naturally not dare to contradict, but their true identities were disciples of aristocratic families and spies lurking in the Zhenbei Army.
If their identities were exposed, they would surely die.
If they do nothing, they will inevitably be expelled from the family tree after the war, and their life will be worse than death!
Therefore, they dare not relax for even a moment!
Besides, things have progressed to this point, they cannot retreat, they can only bite the bullet and move forward!
"But today, if Your Majesty does not kill the King of Zhenbei, how can you calm everyone's hearts? How can you live up to the strict military discipline and fair rewards and punishments of the Zhenbei Army?"
Taking a deep breath, Qiu Xian looked up and responded in a deep voice.
At this moment, his eyes were already a little more fierce. He knew that if he didn't seize the opportunity today, he would be in even more trouble in the future.
Moreover, they have already stood up today. If they don't take advantage of the situation, their identities are likely to be exposed. At that time, they will be the ones who fall into the passive position.
"Is it?"
"I have always been decisive in killing people when doing things."
"What you said just now reminded me..."
Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes into a slit, and when he looked at Qiu Xian and Qiu Li, he finally couldn't hold back his murderous intent.
"Somebody come!"
After shouting loudly, Zhou Zheng waved his hand fiercely and said, "Kill them!"
No nonsense, just decisiveness.
Everyone was shocked and surprised after hearing the order! Who could have thought that Zhou Zheng would actually do such a thing? !
"Order!"
The first one to react was Zhou Ping. His face was filled with a bloodthirsty smile. He had been unhappy with these two people for a long time and wanted to wipe them out and kill them!
He didn't care what the consequences of killing these two people would be. He only knew that he would obey Zhou Zheng's orders!
Let alone killing these two people, even if we kill all the two hundred people behind them, what's the harm? !
Then, without any hesitation, Zhou Ping walked straight over with the big knife in his hand, and without saying a word, put the knife directly on Qiu Li's neck.
The icy air coming from his neck made Qiu Li's face turn pale instantly, and his whole body began to tremble unconsciously.
He didn't expect that Zhou Zheng would dare to say it and Zhou Ping would dare to do it.
"No, absolutely not!"
Taking a few deep breaths, suppressing the panic and trembling in his heart, Qiu Li kept giving himself psychological hints.
In his opinion, this might be Zhou Zheng's performance for everyone to see!
Yes, that must be the case.
Tsk tsk tsk! ! !
However, what he never expected was that the knife Zhou Ping held on his neck did not stop for even a second.
With a sudden burst of force, he chopped off its head on the spot.
In an instant, the body was separated and blood splattered five steps away.
From the bowl-sized scar, blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly making the smell of blood at the scene even stronger.
Really, someone was killed?
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you so impulsive? !
Finally, everyone reacted.
They gasped in disbelief.
Then Zhou Zheng's expression remained normal, he didn't even blink, he just watched quietly.
At the same time, Zhou Ping showed no signs of stopping.
He turned around and placed the blood-stained blade on Qiu Xian's neck again.
This time, Qiu Xian no longer had the indifference he had before, nor did he have the confidence he had before.
He knew that Zhou Zheng was serious.
However, sitting and waiting to die was definitely not what he wanted. Gritting his teeth, Qiu Xian's face was bulging with veins, and then he said loudly, "Your Majesty, for the sake of a Zhenbei King, can you not give up the lives of our loyal soldiers?"
"Can we abandon the decades of glory and iron discipline of the Zhenbei Army just for our own selfishness?"
"Your Majesty, you can kill me now, but what about these generals who stood up today? Are you going to kill them all one by one?"
"And there are those brothers who want to stand up but dare not! Doesn't His Majesty intend to let them go?!!"
Qiu Xian’s words were indeed very inflammatory.
It was naturally hopeless to do it alone. So what he had to do was to completely tie up himself and the two hundred generals behind him.
He didn't know how many of them were disciples from aristocratic families, nor did he know how many of them were from the imperial court.
But none of this matters now.
Because what he wanted was to completely tie up these people and make Zhou Zheng afraid to act rashly!
He didn't believe that Zhou Zheng really dared to be so crazy.
really
After these words were spoken, Zhou Ping's body froze involuntarily, and the long sword that was about to fall suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Zhou Ping raised his head slowly. Killing Qiu Li and Qiu Xian would naturally be no problem.
But now they still have two hundred generals behind them!
These generals commanded tens of thousands of Zhenbei troops.
It is certainly satisfying to kill with a swift knife, but how many people can really afford the price?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ping's anger towards Qiu Xian intensified. However, he did not dare to drop the knife in his hand.
Seeing this, Qiu Xian finally let out a long sigh.
In this way, not only can he survive, but most importantly, the entire situation is under his control.
As expected, Qiu Xian's words made the two hundred people behind him feel nervous.
They looked at each other and clenched their teeth, both sensing a dangerous signal.
"Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first!"
"Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first!"
"Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first!"
Two hundred generals knelt down before Zhou Zheng almost in unison.
He spoke in a deep and loud voice!
Seeing such a scene, even Xiao Mu felt a little shocked.
After serving in the army for decades, even the King of Zhenbei at his peak had never encountered such a scene.
But no one wants to see such a scene!
Because this means that the situation is getting out of control!
Boom boom boom! ! !
However, things are far from over here.
Only a series of dull thumping sounds were heard, and then they saw that tens of thousands of Zhenbei soldiers who had been watching before, actually knelt down in unison in the direction of Zhou Zheng.
At this moment, it seemed as if the earth was shaking.
The entire sky suddenly became quiet.
Tens of thousands of Zhenbei Army soldiers knelt on one knee, but their heads were held high.
They didn't dare to look directly at Zhou Zheng, but there was a hint of complexity between their brows.
They have no words, but their actions speak for themselves!
Today, it is not just about the life and death of Qiu Xian and Qiu Li, nor is it just about the life and death of two hundred Zhenbei Army generals, but also the attitude of tens of thousands of Zhenbei New Army!
One careless move and there will be mutiny in public!
So what if Zhou Zheng still has 10,000 elite Zhenbei troops?
So what if I thank the elite for fighting one against ten?
After the rebellion was suppressed, how many people did Zhou Zheng still have under his command?
Hundreds of people or thousands?
How can we fight a decisive battle with such a small number of people? The imperial court's 300,000 elite soldiers can drown them with just a spit from each of them!
Can Zhou Zheng really accept such an ending?
"Your Majesty, I am guilty and I shall die!"
Xiao Mu was very clear at this time that this matter needed a result.
The only thing I can do is kill myself!
Xiao Mu has no regrets that Zhou Zheng has done this for him!
Not only him, but the entire elite Zhenbei Army also felt somewhat relieved at this moment.
Everyone knows that Zhou Zheng has tried his best, and everyone understands that Zhou Zheng has no choice.
"Grandpa..." Seeing this, Zhou Zheng hurriedly walked up to Xiao Mu and slowly helped him up.
"Of course I am guilty..."
"But, the fault is not with grandpa, but with them!!!"
Zhou Zheng growled and pointed at the tens of thousands of Zhenbei New Army troops who were forcing him.
What Zhou Zheng hates most in his life is being threatened!
What I fear least is being threatened!
If these people think that this little trick can threaten me, then they are just dreaming! It's wishful thinking!
"Zhou Ping, why don't you take action? What are you waiting for?!"
With his fists clenched, Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Ping and shouted at him.
These words made Zhou Ping feel his heart warm. He then clenched his teeth and ignored everything else!
The long sword that was originally suspended in the air fell down again as Zhou Ping roared angrily.
"Get the hell out of here!!!"
"I'll kill you, so what?!"
The knife came down and the head rolled to the ground!
At this moment, Zhou Ping felt extremely happy.
No matter how you change the world, at this moment, I will let you distinguish between the big and small kings!
After all, a dead person is just a dead person.
