Chapter 1792
Everyone's expressions quickly fell, and Pei Beiyin frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, Zhou Ke is dead, and the heads of several wealthy families have also died in battle before, and only a few are at large."
"Who should we look for to find out?"
Huo Yu was uneasy and said quickly: "No, no, Your Majesty, we will definitely be able to find out. It is impossible to hide such a large weapons arsenal from the dark!"
"Your Majesty, you must believe me!" He was full of pleading.
Zhou Jian squinted his eyes. He could see that Huo Yu was not lying, so this weapons arsenal must exist!
"Take the person down first and keep him under safe custody."
"Wang Yu, you go and prepare immediately. We will set off tomorrow. I want to go to Beiyuan Royal City immediately!" he said quickly.
"yes!"
"Your Majesty, you are setting off on your journey so soon? It's a long journey, this..." Some people expressed concern, after all, the wounds on his body had just healed.
"How can I be so fragile? Besides, with the young fish around, what should I be afraid of?" Zhou Jian said with a solemn look on his face: "We must deal with the arsenal without delay!"
"If this huge baggage once falls into the hands of the remnants of the Northern King, they will be able to raise an army and make a comeback in a few years at most!"
"The Beiyuan Rebellion must not be repeated again!" His tone was sonorous and powerful.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Yes, if this arsenal fell into the hands of the remaining members of the Northern King, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Yes, I'll follow your orders!" Everyone immediately said nothing and quickly dispersed with a loud shout.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jian asked the Qingtian Guards to interrogate all the captured rebel high-ranking officials, torture them severely, and interrogate them about the weapons depot, but most of the rebels were unaware of it.
Even if someone knows, what they know is extremely limited.
Seeing this situation, in order to find out about the weapons depot, Zhou Jian wrote a handwritten letter and issued an urgent report, ordering all the rebels to intercept the fleeing rebels at all costs.
Especially the top leaders of several wealthy families in Beiyuan must not let any of them go!
Early the next morning, Zhou Jian led more than 20,000 dragon riders north to the royal city, while the wounded soldiers and Lu Yao's soldiers stayed behind in the Yunjun area.
Along the way, the people lined the streets to welcome him and shouted long live. They were extremely enthusiastic. Compared to the murderous Northern King who was eager to do anything, the Emperor was undoubtedly more trustworthy.
Every time at the city gate, the civil and military officers on duty would open the city to greet them and kneel down to apologize. It could be said that it was a green light all the way without encountering any obstacles. Of course, part of the reason for this was because of Pei Beiyin. Her reputation in Beiyuan was really good.
Filling the stomachs of countless people, in ancient times, it was necessary to consecrate gods and build temples!
Similarly, Zhou Jian killed many people along the way. All the former Beiyuan ministers who had participated in the military operations against the imperial court were all executed. They were iron-blooded and did not tolerate intercession!
As for those who did not participate in military operations, most of them fought to the end or were exiled outside the customs. Those who rose up in advance were praised and promoted.
Using soft and hard tactics at the same time, with clear rewards and punishments, we have mastered the entire territory of Beiyuan as quickly as possible!
After seven full days, Beiyuan Royal City finally arrived!
The city wall here is towering, like a huge military fortress, several feet high and several meters thick, second only to the capital, it can be said to be very terrifying.
The internal layout is also very rigorous. Although it is located in the Northern Plains and has a cold climate, it is rich in resources and has strong folk customs.
Wang Yu and others communicated privately, and even lamented that if the Northern King huddled here, with his military strength, it would be difficult for the Dragon Riders to capture the royal city, or even impossible!
