However, the King of Beiliang refused to show weakness and loudly retorted: "You are talking nonsense. How could my brother stab me in the back?"

Zhou Bin laughed: "If you don't believe it, forget it."

Zhou Bin turned his head and deliberately avoided looking at him.

At this moment, a fog suddenly rose into the sky in the city, and it seemed that a large group of soldiers were passing by.

There was also dust and smoke rising from the mountains outside the city, as if someone was cooking.

The King of Beiliang would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but when he did, he was shocked. He thought to himself, with such a heavy smoke and dust, could it be that there really were millions of soldiers hidden in and behind the city?

Although he claimed to have an army of 300,000, he actually only had about 100,000 people.

Because they suffered a great disaster and their population dropped drastically, they simply could not gather so many people.

He couldn't help but glance at the military advisor Zhao Zhen beside him. This man was also from Dayong, but he surrendered to the King of Beiliang very early and was his military advisor.

Zhao Zhen took a look at the situation in and outside the city, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Looking at these people again, only a dozen of them dared to stand opposite and confront him, which meant that they really had ambushed soldiers long ago, waiting for him to fall into their trap.

When Zhao Zhen thought of this, his face changed and he whispered to the King of Beiliang in a hurry.

King Beiliang's expression suddenly turned very ugly, and he was a little scared at this time.

At the same time, a soldier came to report that something terrible had happened. Their Beiliang land had been attacked by the King of Xiliang, and the situation was now critical!

The King of Beiliang was shocked when he heard this. It turned out that his hateful brother had really attacked him!

At this point, he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

Actually, what Zhou Bin said just now was just nonsense. He just knew that there was a conflict between the King of Beiliang and his brother, the King of Xiliang, so he wanted to scare him.

Unexpectedly, it really happened. God is helping me.

The King of Beiliang was completely panicked at this time. If he didn't go back quickly, his old nest might be destroyed.

At that time, I was really like a stray dog, with nowhere to hide.

The King of Beiliang immediately ordered the entire army to retreat and quickly return to Beiliang to resist the invasion of his own brother.

At this time, the emperor took the opportunity to say: "King of Beiliang, I will not bother with you because I think you have been respectful over the years. Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to return today."

The King of Beiliang was covered in dust and dirt. He didn't dare to say a word and immediately turned his horse around and left.

Zhou Bin and the emperor stood at the bridgehead, watching the thousands of soldiers and horses of the King of Beiliang disappear in the distance.

They stood there quietly without speaking.

In fact, except Zhou Bin, everyone's heart was pounding.

After all, the situation just now was extremely critical. If the King of Beiliang had rushed straight over, they would have been captured together.

By then, the Darong Kingdom would be facing the risk of national destruction, and there would be really no way to save the country.

But fortunately, with God's help, the King of Beiliang was actually scared away.

Seeing that the King of Beiliang's army had left, Zhou Bin immediately suggested that the emperor return to the city as soon as possible.

Princess Ruyi was also sweating at this time, and hurriedly asked someone to escort her father back to the city.

Afterwards, Zhou Bin and the others also returned to the city, and everyone went to the Golden Palace together.

The emperor did not dare to relax at this time, and immediately ordered General Han to send out spies to see if the King of Beiliang had really left.

At this time the emperor could finally breathe a sigh of relief. This crisis was too serious. He immediately ordered people to quietly deploy troops to guard the capital just in case.

After arranging this matter, the emperor could finally rest assured.

The ministers all breathed a sigh of relief, and even the prince smiled.

The emperor was very excited. If a few people had not stepped forward, he would have really become a king who lost his country.

Especially Zhou Bin, who was so young but had such courage and insight, which really impressed the emperor. The emperor immediately found the best candidate in his mind.

It is their great fortune that such young talents can appear in their Dayong country!

He immediately announced on the spot that Zhou Bin would be named Marquis of Protecting the Country, with a fief of one thousand households.

This is the high position and generous salary that many people dream of! Zhou Bin is so young, but he can get such a reward, which really makes everyone in the court envious.

Next, he kept Zhou Bin in the court, appointed him as the Imperial Counselor, and asked him to help him with advice.

Zhou Bin originally planned to go home to find Xiaonan after passing the imperial examination.

He didn't expect that he would be granted the title of marquis all of a sudden, which made him a little overjoyed.

Moreover, he is now a fifth-rank counselor, so Xiao Nan can enjoy a good life by following him in the future.

Zhou Bin was very happy and quickly kowtowed to thank the emperor for his great grace.

Later, spies came to report that the King of Beiliang had indeed withdrawn his troops.

The emperor was overjoyed and immediately ordered the preparation of a celebration banquet to entertain those who had made contributions in the fight against the enemy.

After Zhou Bin was granted the title of marquis, he immediately had his own mansion and servants.

He soon moved into his own mansion and became a respected Marquis of Protectorate.

The most important thing is that he is now an official appointed by the court, and others can no longer bully him.

He was actually very anxious and wanted to go back quickly to tell his wife Xiaonan the news so that she could be happy.

However, Zhou Bin never had the chance to report this matter to the emperor because he had to attend a celebration banquet. Therefore, Zhou Bin could only be patient for the time being and wait until the banquet was over before reporting it.

Now Zhou Bin could only wait in the mansion, and three days passed quickly.
