Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

The land of the north!

Zhou Zheng and others finally waited for Gan Mo.

At this time, Gan Mo was dusty and looked anxious.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Kyoto has changed!"

Without time to rest, Gan Mo knelt in front of Zhou Zheng and told him everything that happened in Kyoto at that time.

Whether it was the mutiny of court officials or the arrest of Mu Yun, Gong Tan and others, the situation was much worse than imagined.

In fact, the speed of the action is far beyond imagination.

"Your Majesty, the court has been completely controlled by the aristocratic families. I even feel that a very strong mysterious force is involved."

When talking about the mysterious power, everyone's expressions suddenly tensed.

The current situation in the Great Zhou is already turbulent, and things are more complicated than imagined. If there are other infiltrations, it will only make the situation more dangerous.

"What power?!"

"Is it the Great Xia Kingdom or the Far West?!"

Zhou Ping stood up suddenly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

If they have to deal with other forces in the current situation, it would be a bit passive for them.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be Daxia or the Far West."

Gan Mo shook his head.

That power seemed to be hidden in Kyoto, and it seemed to be mobilizing the noble families in the world.

This was Gan Mo's intuition, and it was a fairly obvious one.

That power seemed so terrifying that even Gan Mo could sense a panic and fear spreading from deep within his heart.

It’s unclear, the way is unclear!

"Then, who else in the Great Zhou has such power!?"

"Could it be Emperor Tianjing?!"

"Could it be that he really has a backup plan?!"

"But, it shouldn't be."

Zhou Ping had a suspicious look on his face, his brows furrowed, and the worry in his eyes became more and more obvious.

In this world, what really scares people is never power, but the unknown.

Those forces hiding in the dark are very likely to cause changes in the entire incident and lead to different results.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ping became even more gloomy.

Zhou Zheng also frowned and his pupils shrank slightly.

Obviously, even Zhou Zheng was surprised by this news.

He naturally knew that the Great Zhou was not simple, but the mysterious power mentioned by Gan Mo forced Zhou Zheng to be cautious.

He knew Gan Mo's character too well. It was absolutely impossible for him to talk nonsense under such circumstances.

There is only one possibility for Gan Mo to be like this, that is, the Great Zhou does have an extremely powerful force.

Being able to control the aristocratic families and spy on the changes in the world, how could Zhou Zheng not notice it? !

What kind of existence is this!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zheng sighed lightly, but when he turned around, he found that Xiao Mu's brows were furrowed and his eyes were flickering.

This expression made Zhou Zheng think of something instantly.

"Grandpa?!"

The gentle call brought Xiao Mu back to his senses.

"Your Majesty, this old minister may know something."

Finally, Xiao Mu spoke.

His words made everyone feel heavy-hearted, because they all knew Xiao Mu's character.

If it was just ordinary strength, Xiao Mu would sneer at it. Even if it was as strong as a noble family, Xiao Mu would not frown.

But now Xiao Mu felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, and even his breathing became rapid.

What kind of existence could make a veteran who has fought on many battlefields so fearful?

But it was precisely this point that made the uneasiness and foreboding in everyone's hearts even more obvious.

Because, he would only do this if his strength was so strong that even Xiao Mu was afraid of him.

"who is it?"

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and did not dare to be negligent.

"In ancient times, the five great families."

Finally, Xiao Mu tremblingly expressed his guess.

As one of the five great families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he knew very well that this was just the apparent power of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The so-called five great families of the Great Zhou are merely the stronger ones among the families of the Great Zhou.

But he does not have the ability to call on the noble families in the world.

Because of this, when the five major families of the Great Zhou were controlled by Zhou Zheng, the other aristocratic families just watched.

After all, if these five major families were to fall, other families could take advantage of the opportunity to seize resources and strengthen themselves.

This has been true since ancient times.

Powerful aristocratic families will always be wiped out for one reason or another.

Later, other aristocratic families joined in.

This has become a rule, even the norm.

Because of this, the collapse of the aristocratic families does not seem to be a bad thing.

He was maintaining a balance and even made the entire aristocratic family active.

but!

Behind these aristocratic families, there are also ancient aristocratic families.

They are the real aristocratic families.

The ancient aristocratic families can control all the aristocratic families!

All resources and forces can be mobilized.

At the beginning, the Xiao family also came into contact with ancient aristocratic families.

It was because he had come into contact with it and felt its horror that Xiao Mu made up his mind to go to the northern border.

The whole family moved away, and even all the family wealth was lost!

Because he knew very well that as long as the five ancient families still existed, the Xiao family would never be able to replace them.

According to what Gan Mo said just now, that extremely strong hidden force is most likely from an ancient aristocratic family.

Otherwise, why would the power in the court be integrated so quickly?

Otherwise, why would the world change so much?

Even the northern border was almost controlled by the aristocratic families.

Before, Xiao Mu still had a hint of doubt, but now it seems that it is true.

Hearing Xiao Mu's mention of the ancient aristocratic family, everyone's heartbeat quickened and their faces became extremely solemn.

They never expected that there were ancient aristocratic families above the aristocratic families.

"It's just that the ancient noble families never participated in the imperial dynasty or worldly affairs."

"Why, this time, are they taking action?!"

Xiao Mu gritted his teeth, his eyes full of confusion.

When dynasties changed, the ancient aristocratic families basically did not take any action.

They also turned a blind eye to the internal strife in the imperial court.

They seem to be supreme beings, looking down on all living beings and the world from above.

They think they are superior to others, so they will not show up easily.

It is because of this that they can continue to accumulate strength and become powerful.

Because of this, they appear to be extremely mysterious.

But, if this is true, why did the ancient noble family take action this time! ?

"It's because Your Majesty has touched the core of the ancient aristocratic family!"

"All policies and new orders are devastating blows to the aristocratic families."

"If all the noble families are gone, the meaning of the ancient noble families' existence will no longer exist."

Yunxi finally spoke.

And her words served as a warning to everyone.

"So what if we are an ancient noble family?! We are still not a noble family!"

"As long as you are human, you will be undefeated!"

"They had never met the boss before, but now they have. It is still unknown who will win or lose!"

Zhou Ping snorted coldly.

He doesn't care about these ancient aristocratic families. In his opinion, as long as one is a human being, there is a possibility of losing!
