No one would have thought that at such a critical moment related to the life and death of the Great Zhou, Zhang Chaoyang, as the Marquis of Wu'an, would still care about the prizes of the Jiujia Dabi.

For a while, the masters and powerhouses from the major sects of the Central Plains were talking about it, and their eyes became complicated.

However, the delegations of the seven countries understood Zhang Chaoyang's request.

Yesterday afternoon, Emperor Zhou ordered Zhang Chaoyang and his son to go to the border to suppress bandits, the deep meaning behind this is actually no different from expelling the imperial city, Zhang Chaoyang asked for a reward at this time, there is nothing wrong with it, it is true that the prize was awarded immediately after the end of the Jiujia competition in previous years, but this year because Zhang Qingfeng was in a coma and the Aquarius King asked for the territory, people put the reward aside for the time being.

"What the old god of war said is that since the Jiujia Dabi has ended, the winner should be awarded a prize, come on, let the arbitration committee issue a prize immediately!"

The arbitration committee controlled by the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom heard the order of the Aquarius King, and did not dare to delay, and distributed the prizes that had been prepared long ago one after another according to the ranking, but this year's award ceremony was far less lively than in previous years, and everyone's thoughts shifted to Zhang Chaoyang's next move.

Half an hour later, the prizes were finally distributed.

Zhang Chaoyang threw more than a dozen Qiankun bags containing prizes to Du Dayan, this time in the Jiujia Competition, Wu'an Hou Mansion led the way, if it weren't for Zhang Qingfeng's too bright light, just the Black Dragon Guard, Xiaochan, Lu, Li and others on the list would be enough to cause a sensation in the cultivation world.

Glancing at the back of Du Dayan distributing rewards to the Black Dragon Guards, Zhang Chaoyang retracted his gaze and looked at Emperor Zhou.

With a long sigh, the old god of war's eyes gradually appeared with incomprehensible disappointment and sadness.

"Your Majesty, you have disappointed Zhang Chaoyang too much. ”

Zhang Chaoyang's slightly hoarse voice slowly spread in his old age.

"A few years ago, when you first ascended the throne, because you were worried that Zhang Chaoyang's skills would be high, you began to reduce the military power of Wu Anhou openly and secretly, although there are many people who complain for the old minister, but I can understand your distress in doing this, no matter how dull the old minister is, he also knows that he will not allow others to snore next to the couch, so the old minister took the initiative to hand over 50,000 tiger and leopard soldiers to the royal family, and consciously disbanded the bloody guard, just afraid that His Majesty will be too careful. Speaking from the heart, the old minister thought that he could do everything, but His Majesty still refused to let go of the Wu'an Hou Mansion, sixteen years ago at the full moon banquet in Qingfeng, he was poisoned, at that time, the old minister looked at the face of the old emperor, and there was a big prince to block the gun for you, so he didn't kill you, I hope you can take this as a warning, be a good emperor who loves the country and protects the people, and then, in order to heal Qingfeng, the old minister risked his life to go to the 100,000 mountains alone to find medicine, and entrusted Wu'an Hou to you, these are not enough to show the loyalty of the old minister to you?"

In the square, where more than 100,000 people gathered, there was a dead silence, and everyone held their breath, not even daring to come out, for fear of missing a word.

Regarding the grievances and contradictions between the Marquis of Wu'an and the royal family, Quanyangcheng has heard of it from the princes and nobles to the common people, but even the first king and three marquis, they only know why they are, and they don't know the real reason behind it and what Emperor Zhou did to Zhang Chaoyang.

Now, after listening to Zhang Chaoyang's words, everyone suddenly realized.

It turned out that the old god of war had paid so much for Emperor Zhou.

Hand over the Haw Par soldiers.

The Bloody Guards were disbanded.

Before looking for medicine, he also handed over the Wu'an Hou Mansion to the care of Emperor Zhou, what is this not to lure a wolf into the house? From another point of view, why not exchange his life for Emperor Zhou's trust?

Wait, sixteen years ago, Emperor Zhou poisoned Zhang Qingfeng?

Could it be that Zhang Qingfeng's transformation into waste is also due to Emperor Zhou? ?

God, if you think about it carefully, if it is really as Zhang Chaoyang said, this Zhou Emperor is too vicious, right?

The people of Quanyangcheng saw with their own eyes how the first king and the third marquis suppressed the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and for a while, everyone's eyes looking at Emperor Zhou were all filled with coldness.

"Your Majesty, you have been raised by me since you were a child, why have you become like this now?"

"You have withheld the money, and you have not paid the Wu'an Hou Mansion for more than ten years, and I Zhang Chaoyang can not care. ”

"You are worried, worried that I Zhang Chaoyang will retaliate, racking your brains to get rid of me quickly, I can not care. ”

"You took advantage of me to go into the mountains to look for medicine, and instigated a king and three marquis to suppress my Wu'an Hou Mansion, I can also treat it as if it didn't happen. ”

"You deliberately made me Zhang Chaoyang ugly with white water and salted meat at the royal night banquet, and I can bear it. ”

"I, Zhang Chaoyang, endured it again and again, thinking in my heart that as long as you can be a good emperor, even if I remove the title of Marquis of Wu'an, there is nothing unacceptable. ”

"However, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't have betrayed the country without even having the courage to resist when the country is in crisis! Are you worthy of the deceased emperors and the soldiers who died fighting for the Zhou family?!!?"

At the end of the words, Zhang Chaoyang's momentum changed suddenly, his voice rolled into thunder, and the people who shook directly were deaf and their heads were swollen, but those soldiers who were already dissatisfied with Emperor Zhou's cowardice were boiling with blood when they heard it, and their eyes were red.

"Hengyang, Tianshui two counties, is my Great Zhou important land, once lost, the treasury income will be sharply reduced by at least three percent, not to mention that it can't be handed over, even if it can be done, but this mouth is opened, today the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom wants two counties, tomorrow the Tang Dynasty wants three cities, and the day after tomorrow Yan Kingdom wants five towns, what is waiting for the Great Zhou Dynasty not to die?!"

That's the point!

It is not terrible to lose the city and land, the problem depends on how it is lost.

If Emperor Zhou handed over the two counties to others without resistance today, the Great Zhou Kingdom would leave a weak and incompetent waste impression on the other six countries, and anyone who remembered it in the future could kick and punch twice, and the death of the country would be a matter of time or later, which was the most chilling.

"Zhang Chaoyang, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, do you think I am willing to do this?"

Emperor Zhou never thought that Zhang Chaoyang, who had endured it for so many years, would actually confide out the ugly things he had done to the Marquis of Wu'an in the past at such a time, his face was blue with hatred, he gritted his teeth, and regretted that he did not get rid of this trouble earlier.

"It's not that you haven't seen the situation in front of you, the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom has already reached an alliance with the other five countries, even if you fight all the troops of the entire Great Zhou, do you think you can keep Hengyang and Tianshui counties?"

"It's one thing to keep it, but it's another thing to dare to keep it!" Zhang Chaoyang retorted coldly.

"What is the difference between knowing that there is a dead end, but still going to die, and being a fool?"

"As a king, but he can't fight for his country, how much better can such a coward be than a fool?"

"The eldest husband can bend and stretch, Zhang Chaoyang, are you sincere and can't get by?"

"Shi Ke can't be killed, Zhou Gaozhuo, do you really want to lose all the face of the Zhou family?!"

Zhou Gaozhuo, this is the name of Emperor Zhou, since the day he ascended the throne, no one dares to call him by his name, Zhang Chaoyang dares to shout these three words in front of the royal family of the Six Kingdoms and hundreds of thousands of people in Quanyangcheng, which means that he is ready to completely tear his face with Emperor Zhou!
