Chapter Tough

The Duke of Zhen's face became extremely ugly.

The eyes he looked at King Jin were filled with cold murderous intent and a trace of regret.

At the time, he probably never thought that such a day would come. At this moment, he wished that he had not been merciful to King Jin because of some of the words of the eldest princess.

Noticing the look in his eyes, King Jin also smiled coldly in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on the surface.

"Isn't the Duke of Zhen Guo still accepting the order?"

The plain and slightly threatening voice put Duke Zhen Guo in a dilemma.

Accepting the order? Wouldn't that be tantamount to handing over your last military power to others, and getting it back in the future would be even harder than climbing to the sky.

Even because of the loss of military power, the whole family of his Zhenguo Gong may be destroyed.

But if he doesn't accept the order, given the current situation, wouldn't that mean that he has confirmed his cooperation with Beichu?

As a result, more of his soldiers would defect, and it would also give King Jin an opportunity to get rid of him.

Accepting the order is death, and not accepting the order is also death.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind rapidly.

Prince Jin across from him was not anxious at all and looked at him calmly, but Yan Yi, who was behind Prince Jin, was not calm at all.

I saw him nodding his head vaguely towards a young general in the crowd.

The young general immediately retreated quietly into the crowd, and soon disappeared at the gate of the camp.

About half an hour passed, and a large number of people gathered around the gate of the camp, making it completely dark.

There are people who belong to the Duke of Zhen, and there are people who belong to the King of Jin, and there are even those who do not belong to either side and are just waiting and watching.

But generally speaking, there are more people from King Jin.

After all, the vast majority of those neutral people are loyal to Dongzhou, and they are also those who have a blood feud with Bei Chu. If the Duke of Zhen resists the decree and refuses to accept it, it will be tantamount to having trouble with Bei Chu.

Even if these people don't help the King of Jin, they will definitely not help the Duke of Zhen.

In this camp, King Jin has as many as 50,000 direct descendants. Yan Yi just sent someone to notify these people to come over.

The purpose is to prevent Zhenguo Gong from jumping over the wall in a hurry, so he can capture it directly even if there are many people.

More and more people gathered at the gate of the camp, but it was surprisingly quiet.

Everyone's eyes fell on the Duke of Zhen.

Another moment passed, and the little chamberlain stood in front of the Duke of Zhen, holding the imperial edict in his hand, with an impatient look on his face.

"Will you accept the imperial edict from Lord Zhen Guo or not?"

"The villain is still in a hurry to return to Beijing to resume his duties. You should give me an accurate answer."

The high-pitched voice woke Duke Zhen from the battle between heaven and man, and his eyes turned cold as he glanced at the young eunuch.

"My lord, accept the order."

As soon as he opened his mouth, many people present were shocked.

Although most of these people are rough people from any culture, they can still roughly understand the meaning of this imperial edict.

King Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, looking down on Duke Zhen Guo a little.

It turned out that Duke Zhen Guo was a person, so he was prepared and waiting for Duke Zhen Guo's resistance.

As a result, he didn't even have the courage to resist, so he directly chose to compromise.

With this step taken, the end of Zhenguo Gong is coming, and I am afraid there will be no chance of turning around again in the future.

Just when King Jin was thinking about it, Duke Zhenguo in front took over the imperial edict. The next moment, he pulled out the sword from his waist. The light flashed. The next moment, a head flew up, and blood spurted out.

.

"hiss!"

The person who was hacked to death was none other than the little chamberlain who had delivered the order just now.

"What does Zhen Guo Gong mean by this?"

King Jin frowned and asked.

"I accept the imperial edict, but the situation in the North is now dangerous. I am sorry that I cannot hand over the military power to His Highness the King of Jin."

"Come here, please escort His Royal Highness Prince Jin and his entourage away on behalf of my father."

As soon as his voice fell, someone stood up, but Prince Jin across from him did smile coldly.

"I'm afraid it's not up to you."

"Come here and capture the Duke of Zhen."

As soon as the voice fell, the five thousand men and horses he brought with him stepped forward one after another.

The two sides were at war with each other, as if a war would break out in the next moment.

The Duke of Zhen stared at King Jin coldly, his face was livid, his heart was furious, and he also felt a little sad.

Because just now, when he called for people, only a few people came out in twos and threes. There were so many soldiers from the big battalion, but few people came forward.

When the King of Jin agreed, five thousand people came forward to make a judgment.

"Why, is His Royal Highness the King of Jin planning to attack the camp?"

"Impact? Not to mention. Since Duke Zhenguo has accepted the imperial edict, it is reasonable for me to come here to take over the military power."

"Bei Chu is watching with eager eyes, but you are still delaying like this. Could it be that Lord Zhenguo really has some shady cooperation with Bei Chu?"

"Or are you doing this just to cause chaos in the North so that Beichu can easily capture the North and drive straight into the heart of Dongzhou?"

The Duke of Zhen on the opposite side smiled coldly.

"Prince Jin is quite aware of what's going on in the North, right?"

"Then I wonder if King Jin knows about my prince's attack on Beichu a few days ago?"

"Of course I know this, but I heard it's not acting?"

King Jin showed no mercy at all and directly recounted the rumors.

He knew very well whether he was acting or not, but to say so at this time was tantamount to stepping on the face of the Duke of Zhen.

No, Duke Zhen's face became even more ugly, and he pointed the long sword in his hand at King Jin.

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, is planning to start a war? Do you know the consequences of doing so?"

"Starting a war? The Duke of Zhenguo made serious statements. I am just here to take over the Beiluo City camp, take over the military affairs of the entire Northland, and resist the invasion of Beichu."

"You and I are both ministers of Dongzhou, why should we start a war?"

"Or is it that Duke Zhen Guo is really disobedient? Is he planning to rebel?"

As soon as the word "rebellion" came out, the expressions of many soldiers around him changed.

After thinking carefully about what King Jin said, there is indeed nothing wrong with it. The Duke of Zhenguo has accepted the imperial edict and should hand over the military affairs of the North. There is nothing wrong with King Jin coming to take over.

On the other hand, Zhenguo Gong kept stopping it, which was really wrong.

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, don't talk nonsense. My Lord just said that the situation in the North is dangerous and it is not convenient to hand over military power at the moment. We will wait until everything stabilizes."

"Oh? When will it be stable?"

King Jin asked rhetorically.

"My country doesn't know, but I will try my best."

Hearing this, King Jin smiled, shook his head and said, "O Lord Zhenguo, do you think this king is a three-year-old child?"

"Today, my king will tell you clearly that you must hand over this military power today, whether you want to hand it over or not."

How long had he been planning for this day? Now the Duke of Zhen has accepted the imperial edict. If he doesn't take it directly now, he will have to go through a lot of trouble if he wants to take it later.

"Prince Jin has such a good tone, I really want to take a look at you."

Before he finished speaking, King Jin waved his hand.

The next moment, a lot of people immediately appeared at the gate of the camp. In just the blink of an eye, people from the third and third floors of Zhenguo Kilometers were surrounding them.
