Through Time Chapter 424

Although Qin Shi Huang was asking about Duke Hu Hai, Zhao Gao knew that what the other party had in mind was definitely Duke Long.

So back to that

“Back to Your Majesty, Duke Hu Hai has not yet returned with a letter.”

“But counting the days, it should be reaching Gongzi Long, and I think it will not take long for Gongzi Huhai to write back.”

Sure enough, upon hearing Zhao Lang’s name, Qin Shi Huang was immediately in better spirits and said that

“Well, it’s good that it has arrived, with Long’s presence, there will be no problem for Hai’er and Yin Man.”

“And Ah Fu’s side should have left already, right?”

A few days ago, Qin Shi Huang received a letter from Zhao Lang, containing a jade pendant from the royal family of Qi.

It proved that he had taken full control of the royal family of Qi.

Then the request made was also very straightforward, to ask Uncle Fu to leave and then to meet Zhao Lang’s father.

How could Qin Shi Huang refuse such a good thing?

Straight away, he told Uncle Fu to hurry up and set off.

Zhao Gao returned at this time and said

“Your Majesty, word has already come from Ah fo*k’s side that they are already on their way.”

“It’s just that this plan of withdrawing people by Gongzi Lang seems to be heading towards the grassland.”

“Do you think we should make early arrangements?”

Qin Shi Huang nodded blandly and said, with a bit of helplessness.

“I know that the Black Ice Guard has already reported on the arrangements for Long’s son in the grassland.”

He had thought that after forcing Zhao Lang to rebel, the other side would let go of the situation.

What happened was that Zhao Lang had directly arranged a retreat on the grassland.

Not only that, the Black Ice Guards also reported up that Zhao Long had set up a fleet of ships himself.

There were several retreat routes.

Of course, it was not a big problem.

As long as Zhao Lang’s father was still in the hands of the First Emperor, Zhao Lang would not be able to escape.

At this point, Zhao Gao, who was on the sidelines, bragged to

“Duke Long is really something, this has collected the Tian clan of Qi without making a sound.”

Qin Shi Huang also nodded with a bit of pride, his son had made his mark, of course the old man was happy.

Zhao Gao went on to say.

“Just do you really want to meet with Gongzi Lang?”

Qin Shi Huang nodded blandly and

“The news has already been sent over, the remaining Six Kingdoms are going to make their move, which will be after the autumn harvest, so before that, it would be good to meet with Long to find out what’s going on.”

“The place will be at Wuguan, it is a junction, where he will dare to come.”

Seeing that Qin Shi Huang had already made up his mind, he naturally would not object.

Luckily, Wuguan was not too far from Xianyang.

Just thinking about it, Zhao Gao said with a few worries that

“Your Majesty, if after that, Gongzi Lang really does come to the city with his troops, what should we do?”

Zhao Gao himself was still a little worried.

Those remnants of the Six Kingdoms, if they were killed, they would be killed.

But if Zhao Lang really ended up leading his men to the city of Xianyang, would he really fight with the other side?

It would be a loss if all the dead and wounded were our own people.

Qin Shi Huang, however, gave a laugh and said

“If Lang’er really has the guts to do so, I will be happy instead.”

“Only, by that time, I am afraid that my city defences will already have tens of thousands of crossbows and walls with cement as their exterior.”

“I’m just afraid that he won’t be able to break through.”

The last time I spoke to the Shogun, I talked about casting houses in cement to see.

Although it didn’t work too well, it was found that cement could strengthen the city’s defences, so naturally he wanted to fortify Xianyang’s city.

Hearing this, Zhao Gao had nothing more to say.

For in other respects, his majesty had already made arrangements.

Meng Yi had already gone to Hedong County to covertly set up defences.”

The former lands of the three states of Qin, Zhao and Yan were related to the border defence of the Great Qin, and were important places for the Great Qin, and he could not let anything go wrong in these places.

And against these rabble-rousers of the Six Kingdoms, with the Qin army in the counties, it would be enough!

Zhao Gao didn’t see these people in his eyes either.

Just as Zhao Gao was thinking of asking about the hundred schools of thought, an attendant hurried in at the door and reported that

“Your Majesty, a messenger claiming to be from the Zhao clan has delivered a letter.”

Hearing this, Qin Shi Huang frowned slightly and

“The Zhao clan?”

Ying’s surname was Zhao, and although Qin and Zhao were of the same clan, a great war had been fought.

To be honest, the camaraderie in it was actually long gone.

It’s just that when it comes to ancestral worship, both sides share a common ancestral origin, which comes from the Western Zhou Zuofu.

After Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne and destroyed the six kingdoms, he even became the patriarch of the Qin lineage of the Zhao family himself.

After all, how could he possibly obey the Zhao clan?

So there was also very little contact with the clan.

Now how did someone from the clan suddenly come along?

Without much hesitation, Qin Shi Huang said that

“Bring up the letter.”

The attendant presented the letter at once.

Within a short time, Qin Shi Huang finished reading the epistle, and a strange look appeared on his face.

How could he not have expected that Zhao Lang had actually contacted the Zhao clan?

However, he did not want his son to have anything to do with the other side.

Anyway, Zhao Lang was not yet on the clan tree, so the other party could not possibly find out how. With a cold snort, he directly picked up the pen on the table and wrote two words on the cloth and silk.

“Unrelated.”

Then he gave the letter to the attendant and said that

“Send it back.”

The squire took the reply letter and left the palace.

Once outside the palace gates, he came to a messenger and gave him the reply letter.

Without delay, the messenger took the letter and headed all the way in the direction of Liaodong.

Two days later, inside the Zhao clan’s manor in Liaodong county.

The old man of the clan was frowning and lost in thought, wondering what was on his mind, and could not help but ask

“Master, what is the matter of sorrow?”

“Haven’t we already found the male son, Zhao Jie? And it looks extremely good too.”

Two days ago, shortly after they had returned from Zhao Lang’s residence.

Zhao Jie had suddenly approached them with his men.

Zhao Jie’s identity still did not need to be verified, and almost immediately, a number of people chose to support Zhao Jie.

A lot of money was also given.

The old man returned to his senses, shook his head slightly, and said

“Zhao Jie’s talent is still a bit weak after all.”

“By the way, has there been a letter back from Xianyang?”

The servant smiled and reassured that

“Don’t be anxious, master, it should be soon…”

“A letter back from Xianyang!”

Just then, a servant came running in in a hurry!

The old man’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly opened the letter, took out the cloth and saw the large word ‘irrelevant’ written by Qin Shi Huang.

The servant at the side also saw it and a hint of disappointment flashed across his face.

So it seemed that Zhao Lang was indeed not a descendant of the royal family of Zhao.

The old man also froze for a moment.

But he looked at those two words for a moment, and then suddenly, a smile appeared on his face and he said

“Go and tell those clansmen who support Zhao Lang to confirm the identity of Zhao Lang’s descendants of the Zhao Clan, and they can provide support for Zhao Lang now!”

When the servant heard this, he was directly dumbfounded.

“Master, this is not…”

The old man said, with a small smile on his face

“If it really isn’t, we haven’t come and gone for decades, and with that One’s character, he wouldn’t leave one more word for us!”

“I don’t know what kind of chess he’s playing, but supporting the clan in many places is the best way to continue the clan!”

“Go on!”

The servant left in a hurry at once.

Only when the servant left did the old man reveal a hint of self-satisfaction.

In the future, whether Zhao Lang became a success or Zhao Jie became a success, the Zhao clan would survive.

As an old man of the Zhao clan, he still had this bit of wisdom.
