"Guard Kong, I know you must hate me to the core," Zhou Youan looked at Kong Wenmin with a guilty look on his face, "Although I was deceived by Prince Rong and killed Commander Ma, Commander Ma must have died because of me! I'm sorry Commander Ma! I'm sorry to my good brother! I know you must hate me to death, but don't I hate myself? I have long wanted to die to apologize! But I dare not die, for fear that I will not have the face to see Brother Ma in the underworld. But today, I finally killed the thief Luan Cheng with my own hands, and led my troops to welcome His Royal Highness and the Princess to the capital. I finally fulfilled Brother Ma's last wish, and I finally dare to die. Guard Kong, kill me! Don't show mercy!"
As Zhou Youan spoke, he leaned towards Kong Wenmin with his eyes closed, as if he was waiting to die. Kong Wenmin had already hated him so much after hearing his hypocritical words. He suddenly raised his hand and was about to strike with the knife, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. Kong Wenmin suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhong Mingwei who was blocking his way in surprise: "Master? What are you doing..."
"It is a great thing that General Zhou admits his mistakes and improves. Wen Min, please don't be rude to General Zhou." Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice.
"But, sir!" Kong Wenmin was anxious, fearing that Zhong Mingwei would be confused by Zhou Youan's words. He was busy trying to speak out, but Chen Qingxuan secretly pinched his waist. Kong Wenmin was stunned, knowing that Chen Qingxuan wanted him to be silent, so he shut his mouth, but at the same time he came to his senses. No matter what unforgivable things Zhou Youan had done before, he was now a great hero who assassinated the rebel and paved the way for Zhong Mingwei. If he killed such a great hero in front of all the soldiers, I'm afraid many soldiers would be disappointed, and he would be charged with the crime of killing heroes. Kong Wenmin immediately broke out in a cold sweat, secretly cursing himself for being confused all his life. He quickly put the knife back and retreated to Chen Qingxuan's side, never daring to act rashly again.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhou Youan was overjoyed and kowtowed to Zhong Mingwei repeatedly. He stood up and took a package from his horse. He untied it and took out a bloody head from it. He held the head high and shouted to the soldiers, "This is the head of the traitor Zhong Mingzheng! The traitor is dead now! The soldiers respectfully wish His Majesty the best of health!"
"Long live the emperor!" At that moment, all the soldiers followed Zhou Youan to kneel on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor!" to Zhong Mingwei. "Long live the emperor!"
Zhong Mingwei was at a loss for a moment. Things were developing too fast. Just a moment ago, he was discussing tomorrow's siege plan with Mei Ya and Zhong Zhiling. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, it would be like this. Mei Ya saw him in a daze and pushed him away. She also knelt on the ground and shouted with the soldiers, "Long live the emperor!"
Zhong Mingwei came back to his senses and subconsciously wanted to help Meiya up. But just as he was about to bend down, he saw Meiya gently shaking her head and winking at him, signaling him not to lose his composure. Zhong Mingwei then stopped and said loudly to the kneeling soldiers: "Stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The soldiers stood up and shouted. For a moment, the camp was filled with noise and the soldiers were all excited. Kong Wenmin, Kong Wenjie and others hurried to arrange elite troops to enter the palace. Zhou Youan hurried to lead the way for them. King Pingxi and Chi Chongyuan also hurried back to their own army camps to arrange tasks. For a moment, only Mei Ya and Zhong Mingwei were left.
"Mingwei, we are about to enter the city, and you will be the emperor soon," Meiya looked at Zhong Mingwei's gloomy face and felt a little worried. She looked up and asked him, "From now on, you are the master of this world, and no one will threaten us anymore. We can do whatever we want. Isn't this what we have always wanted? But you... why do you seem unhappy?"
