    ?

    Chodan threw the command flag forward.

    "Execution!"

    With an order, the executioner raised his guillotine.

    With the knife in hand, more than 700 people died in an instant. Without a moment's hesitation, the blood stained the guillotine, and the smell of blood permeated the air.

    "Take Chen Jiu!"

    Beheaded more than 700 people, but Chen Jiu was not killed. Chen Jiu committed a heinous crime and must be sentenced to death.

    "Zhou Heng, you must die!"

    Chen Jiu was brought up, struggling hard, trying to break free from the shackles, but no matter how hard Chen Jiu struggled, it was useless. Chen Jiu stared at Zhou Heng with extremely resentful eyes.

    Chen Jiu began to curse Zhou Heng.

    "stupid guy."

    Zhou Heng gave Chen Jiu a white look, and asked Yao Dan to continue the execution.

    "kill."

    With an order, Chen Jiu was taken down and sentenced to death.

    Chen Jiu's screams echoed in the execution ground. Zhou Heng wanted to use this method to tell everyone what the fate of betrayal would be

    Three days later, Zhou Heng set off from Hanzhong City with his army.

    Cao Zhijiang stayed in Hanzhong.

    After all, there are still many things to take care of in Hanzhong, and Cao Zhijiang is the most suitable candidate.

    The army marched south, passing through Nanzheng and Da'an, and finally arrived at Yangping Pass.

    Zhou Heng led the army to arrive, and Ma Bo immediately came out from Yangping Pass to meet Zhou Heng.

    "Your Highness!"

    Ma Bo stepped forward to salute Zhou Heng.

    "Hmm." Seeing Ma Bo Zhou Heng nodded, a hum was regarded as a response. Zhou Heng was looking at Yangping Pass, which is the pass on the border between Dazhou and Xiyi.

    "How about Yangping Pass?"

    Zhou Heng asked.

    "Thanks to His Royal Highness, everything will be safe." Ma Bo said.

    "Okay, tell the army at Yangping Pass to leave with me." Zhou Heng asked Ma Bo to take the army at Yangping Pass and leave with him.

    After hearing Zhou Heng's words, Ma Bo showed a look of embarrassment on his face, as if he had something to hide.

    Zhou Heng noticed the expression on Ma Bo's face.

    "What's wrong?" Zhou Heng asked.

    "This?" Ma Bo didn't know how to answer Zhou Heng's question.

    "Ma Bo, you don't want to fight with His Highness, do you want to retreat?" Feng Zheng asked with a smile. Feng Zheng and Ma Bo have a good relationship, so Feng Zheng still had a bit of sarcasm when he spoke.

    "Go! Go! Go."

    Ma Bo gave Feng Zheng a blank look.

    "Your Highness!" Ma Bo clasped his fists in salute, and looked at Zhou Heng with a serious expression. "Your Highness, it's not that I, Ma Bo, are greedy for life and afraid of death. As a soldier, I should lead the way, but there is something else hidden about this matter."

    Ma Bo said helplessly that this matter was not something he could control.

    "What secret?"

    Chodan asked.

    "Ma Bo, you are also a straightforward person. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hesitate here. Your Highness is not an unreasonable person." Du Mao couldn't help complaining. What he hated the most was this  The kind of person who doesn't speak directly and always makes people guess.

    "Your Highness, a group of people came to Yangpingguan. They were sent by the imperial court. You should go and see for yourself!"

    Marble said.

    After hearing Ma Bo's words, Zhou Heng seemed to understand something. Ma Bo didn't say it directly, but Zhou Heng could hear from the lines that the court had been monitoring him.

    "good."

    Zhou Heng nodded.

    The army entered the city.

    Ma Bo brought Zhou Heng to the post house.

    Zhou Heng walked in.

    After waiting for less than a moment, a group of people came in from outside the front hall, wearing splendid robes with delicate patterns embroidered on them.

    "That's them."

    Marble said.

    "Are you all from the imperial court?" Zhou Heng got up and asked. Zhou Heng carefully observed the people in front of him. Judging from the clothes of these people, their identities are definitely not ordinary.

    "That's right, the slave's name is Liu Jinshui!"

    Liu Jinshui answered Zhou Heng's question, and Zhou Heng turned out to be his father-in-law.

    "Why haven't I heard of your number one?" Zhou Heng continued to ask, since the other party could appear in front of him, it was obvious that he didn't want to hide his identity.

    "The servant is from Xichang, and Xichang is the emperor's secret intelligence-gathering agency, so the servant rarely appears in the public eye, Your HighnessIt makes sense that you don't know.  "

    Liu Jinshui replied respectfully.

    "West Factory?"

    "That's right." Liu Jinshui nodded.

    Zhou Heng didn't expect that there was a Xichang in Dazhou. It seems that these people were cultivated by Emperor Guangxiao in secret, just to monitor the officials in the court.

    "So, the emperor sent Eunuch Liu to supervise me?"

    Zhou Heng sat down with a somewhat stern tone. Even though Xichang is an institution valued by the emperor, the people in it have great power, but he is the prince of the Great Zhou.

    Don't lower your momentum.

    It should be clear who is the master and who is the slave.

    "I don't dare. The emperor sent my servant here to share His Highness' worries."

    Liu Jinshui hastily explained to Zhou Heng that Zhou Heng was the crown prince, the future heir apparent, and he could not offend Zhou Heng, even if Emperor Guangxiao sent him to monitor Zhou Heng, he could not say so himself.

    "Then may I ask if Eunuch Liu is waiting for me at Yangping Pass?"

    Zhou Heng asked.

    It is impossible for the person in front of him to wait for him here for no reason.

    "Your Highness, these are the two edicts that the emperor asked his servants to give to His Highness, Your Highness, please have a look!" Liu Jinshui handed the imperial edict of Emperor Guangxiao to Zhou Heng.

    There are two imperial edicts, but there are two different words on them.

    One says victory and the other says defeat.

    Zhou Heng understood. It seems that Emperor Guangxiao has made two preparations. Regardless of victory or defeat, Emperor Guangxiao has an imperial edict for himself.

    Zhou Heng opened the defeat first.

    The content is clear, if Zhou Heng is defeated, I hope that Zhou Heng can negotiate with Xiyi and cede the land of Hanzhong to Xiyi, so as to end the war and prevent further damage to the Great Zhou.

    It was a good idea for Zhou Heng to put down the imperial decree in his hand, but if he did so, Da Zhou might not be able to hold his head up in the future.

    Zhou Heng was picking up the imperial decree written with victory.

    ?The previous paragraph is to commend Zhou Heng, praise Zhou Heng, and say that Zhou Heng has lived up to his trust and honored his life. It can be said that the words are gorgeous and the praise is already clear at a glance.

    And the latter words are to persuade Zhou Heng to return to the imperial court immediately, and not to take Xiyi's idea.

    Dazhou has experienced the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Western Yi two wars one after another, and can no longer afford it. If he goes to the Western Yi, no one knows what the consequences will be.

    It's okay to win, but if you can't win, Da Zhou will be a muddlehead.

    Emperor Guangxiao was not very sure about the attack on Xiyi, so he felt that it was not appropriate to send troops at this time, and it was not appropriate to send troops from all aspects.

    "The emperor wants me to go back?"

    Zhou Heng looked at Liu Jinshui.

    "That's right."

    Liu Jinshui nodded.

    "But if I don't go back, so what if I insist on going out?" Zhou Heng asked Liu Jinshui again, Liu Jinshui was taken aback, is this to resist the order?

    "Your Highness, you are resisting the decree. Please think again, Your Highness." Liu Jinshui reminded Zhou Heng that the emperor's will cannot be disobeyed.

    "I know, but I will not accept the orders of the emperor outside."

    Zhou Heng got up and walked to Liu Jinshui and said, the emperor is far away in Chang'an and does not know the situation in Hanzhong, so the emperor's judgment is only his own imagination, not combined with the actual situation.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
