Through Time Chapter 454

Leaning on the special chair, Chen Ping barely kept himself from sitting on the floor.

Standing up to Ji Wushuang’s salute, he saw that Ji Wushuang was extremely intimate and took Zhao Lang’s hand.

Chen Ping blinked, and although he was a little strange in his heart, he didn’t say anything more.

These days he had come all the way back with Zhao Lang and the others, and had noticed that the two had an unusual relationship.

Zhao Lang didn’t notice the other’s small thoughts, but spoke instead that

“Brother Chen Ping, I think you have guessed a thing or two about what we are scheming now, right? ”

Chen Ping nodded, although it was more or less uncomfortable at first to just be swept up in it.

But now that he had the Confucian head as his base, he was not so resistant.

He also had to find a way out of the current turmoil in the world, and Zhao Lang was indeed a good choice.

Zhao Long continued at this point, saying

“Liaodong is originally the former land of Yan, and now I just want the King of Yan to re-gather the remaining clans of Yan and come and provide me with money.”

Zhao Long directly made his arrangements for the Yan Kingdom clear.

To sum up, it was that he only wanted money, not people.

“Do you have any plans?”

After hearing this, Chen Ping revealed a bitter smile and

“Gongzi Lang, your request is a little too forceful.”

“The legacy clans of the six countries have always wanted to restore their country, I am afraid that these legacy clans will not be convinced if you ask for such a request.”

Who would do something that only gives money but no benefits?

Zhao Lang smiled and said that

“That’s what you have to think about.”

Chen Ping’s face instantly turned into a bitter gourd, and

“Gongzi Lang, I don’t have any information…”

Before Chen Ping could finish his words, a voice rang out from outside, the

“Zhang Er requests to see the King of Zhao!”

Soon, Zhang Er appeared in front of several people, and Zhao Lang quickly said that

“Zhang Er has been contacting the Zhao clan in Liaodong these days, and the local Yan legacy, and has some knowledge of them.”

“Zhang Er, tell us about the Yan legacy clan, this king has found the descendants of the Yan king.”

Zhang Er looked at Ji Wushuang with some confusion, he always felt that the other party looked somewhat familiar, and replied that

“King Zhao, the Zhao clan is quite active in Liaodong these days, so there is also contact.”

“It’s just that the situation of the Yan legacy clan is not good these days.”

Zhang Er quickly explained what he had learnt.

Zhao Lang listened but a hint of oddity appeared between his expressions and said that

“Are you saying that most of the more resistant Yan legacies have gone to Goguryeo?”

“The local Yan legacies left behind are mostly local people?”

Zhang Er nodded his head with some disappointment.

“The descendants of the King of Yan have been slow to appear, and the Lord of Goguryeo has already claimed to be a descendant of Yan, wanting to occupy the name of great righteousness.”

“Moreover, there are also quite a number of Zhao’s descendants among them who are also in Goguryeo.”

Zhao Lang gave a cold laugh and

“A barbarian country, also presuming to want my Chinese orthodoxy?”

The kings of the six kingdoms, in a way, all had the position of Chinese orthodoxy.

But the other neighbouring kingdoms, that’s a joke.

At this time, Zhao Lang directed his hand towards Ji Wushuang and said that

“Zhang Er, meet King Ji Wushuang of Yan.”

Zhang Er first stared, then saluted before saying.

“King of Zhao, have you really found the descendant of King Yan? What if…”

Zhao Lang of course knew what the other man meant and said that

“The identity of the King of Yan is true and unmistakable, and can stand the test.”

“First thing tomorrow morning, you will go and contact the Yan legacy clan, and my king will go with you then.”

Hearing these words, a trace of excitement surfaced on Zhang Er’s face, he did not expect at all that Zhao Lang had gone out once and actually found the descendants of King Yan directly.

In that case, Zhao Lang’s strength would also grow a bit.

But just at this moment, Chen Ping suddenly spoke out and said

“Duke Long, I suggest that it is better for you not to go to this meeting between the King of Yan and the legacy of the Yan Kingdom.”

“The sudden appearance of the King of Yan, even if it proves itself, but with you on the sidelines, I am afraid that you will be thought to be under your control, and it would be better for the King of Yan to have his own mansion.”

“It would be better to wait until the situation is stabilised and then declare an alliance with you.”

When Zhao Lang heard Chen Ping’s voice, he raised his eyebrows slightly, the other party was right.

He had also thought of this, he was just going to use direct force to subdue, but since the other party had mentioned it, he might as well leave it to him, and said.

“Fine, let’s do as you say.”

“Within three days, I need to hear something.”

He wanted to get a general idea before the Confucians met him.

Chen Ping and Zhang Er answered in unison, and the two soon left together, seemingly to discuss countermeasures.

Only when the two had left did Zhao Lang exhale slowly, and then said to Ji Wushuang, who was standing by, that

“You’ll have to work hard from now on.”

Zhao Lang knew Ji Wushuang, who loved freedom and liberty by nature, and looked at the other side every time he let go of his good life in peace and quiet.

It was clear that the other party had to go wandering around.

Because for people like Ji Wushuang, stability is a difficult environment.

But once he took up the title of King of Yan.

Then it would be impossible to be like before.

Zhao Lang knew that the other party was doing it for himself, so he felt more or less guilty in his heart.

Ji Wushuang smiled back and

“I… Well, it doesn’t matter if this king suffers some hardships, it’s good that the peasants are doing well.”

Zhao Lang couldn’t help but reveal a helpless look, this white lotus nature of the other party still hadn’t changed.

Afterwards, Zhao Lang thought of something and with a few swallows said that

“By the way, there is one more thing to explain to you.”

Ji Wushuang took Zhao Lang’s hand and said

“Ah Long, you say it, I’ll listen to you.”

At once, Zhao Lang took the two of them up by the hand and said.

“Can we keep some distance outside in the future.”

There was one thing to say, Zhao Lang didn’t want to be called the King of Dragon and Yang.

Ji Wushuang froze for a moment, then couldn’t help but reveal a smile and said that

“Oh, I’ll listen to you then.”

“However, today you have to comply with me.”

Zhao Lang sighed slightly and had no choice but to submit.

Early the next morning, Chen Ping took the initiative to follow Zhang Er out, and it must be said that the other party integrated quite quickly.

Wang Cai knew that Zhao Lang had returned and sent Big Cat to look for him, too.

“House Master, nearly five hundred brothers have now been sent to Qi Di and are helping each other train.”

“But during that time, we encountered several interrogations from the Qin army, so we can only transport them slowly in batches.”

The big cat had only just arrived at the manor when he presented Zhao Lang with a problem.

Zhao Lang also frowned slightly, of course there was no problem in transporting them like this normally, but when it really came to critical times, it would be fatal.

At this time, Hu Hai, who was on the side, spoke up and said.

“Brother Long, I do have an idea.”

Zhao Lang raised his eyebrows and said that

“You have an idea?”

Hu Hai nodded his head and

“Brother Long, all of our manors are around the county, we don’t need to take care of all the Qin troops in Liaodong County, wouldn’t we just take down the guards of the county?”

“What’s more, Zhang Han, the guardian of the county town, has some friendship with us as well.”

Zhao Lang frowned slightly as he listened, it was not that he had not thought of this solution.

What’s more, there was a high probability that the other party was one of Cheap Old Dad’s men.

It was just that he was somewhat unsure of the situation after his old dad was captured in Xianyang, which was why he had not contacted the other party.

Now, it seemed that he had to go and contact the other party as well.

Zhao Lang nodded his head and said that

“Fine, we’ll go together and see.”

Hu Hai hastened to say at this time that

“Brother Lang, let me go for such a small matter!”

Zhang Han was aware of his status as an imperial son, and all he had to do to go over at this time was to give an order.

It was simple enough, and he could even pretend to be in front of Brother Long for once, wouldn’t that be wonderful.

Zhao Lang froze for a moment and laughed, saying

“I know he’s one of us, too, but be careful.”

Hearing these words, Hu Hai almost shook wildly inside and froze straight away, and only after a while did he shiver and say that

“Brother Long, you know…”

He was now frightened enough, but how could he not dare to take the initiative to say that out.

Father’s explanation was still fresh in his ears.

He had said that Long was gifted and clever, even if for some reason he had learned the truth in the middle.

He must never give any information either.

Otherwise, legs are given to break.

So he had already made up his mind long ago, even if Long took out the heirloom seal.

As long as it wasn’t the Father speaking to him face to face.

He would never reveal this information either.

Zhao Lang didn’t have the good grace to say that

“You guys were so arrogant when you arrived in the county.”

“Did you really think you could follow a general back then?”

If Zhang Han wasn’t one of their own, with their strength, Ohio would have stayed honestly in the boot camp.

Hu Hai froze again and took a moment to slow down before he said that

“Brother Long, so you already knew about… This.”

“Then there’s even less to worry about in this matter! Can’t we just go straight to him?”

Zhao Lang frowned slightly and said that

“Now that my father has been arrested and the matter has been revealed, it should be too late to clear the matter with us, so you are so sure that he will still help us?”

Hu Hai was speechless for a moment, where was he sure of anything.

After all, how could the other party betray his father?

But it would be awkward not to be able to answer the question at this point.

Seeing a hint of suspicion gradually rise on Zhao Lang’s face, Hu Hai suddenly had a movement in his heart and said,

“Brother Long, if the other party does not comply, we will threaten him and expose his identity to the officials.”

Hearing this, Zhao Lang’s face revealed a hint of oddity, not to mention, this method was simple and crude though.

But it was extremely effective.

With a somewhat unexpected glance at the other party, Zhao Lang said that

“You’ve grown quite a bit, then.”

Seeing Ohio grow up, Zhao Lang still had a few moments of relief in his heart, and quickly said that

“But this is a big deal, it’s better to go together.”

“It’s just that the other side isn’t in the city right now.”

“I’ll have someone keep an eye out, and when the other side returns, we’ll make our move.”

When he himself arrived in Liaodong earlier, he found that Zhang Han was no longer in the city, and the soldiers guarding the city did not see many familiar faces.

Hu Hai could only leave with a resentful nod, he thought he could pretend for once.

Having decided on a solution for the time being, Zhao Lang didn’t stay idle either. Since he didn’t know when the other side would return, he had just time to send a message to his old man for a trip.

By the way, he would use Ji Wushuang’s royal jade pendant of Yan to exchange some people back.

Time was now running out, it was already just about late summer and early autumn.

The crops in the ground were also gradually becoming golden.

The harvest will soon be ready.

After the harvest, it is time for turmoil.

Two days later, Zhang Han had not yet returned, but in between Ji Wushuang took Zhang Er and Chen Ping out for a trip and returned on the third day, and with two carts of possessions behind him.

“What is this?”

Zhao Lang looked at the two carts of belongings in front of him and was slightly dazed.

Ji Wushuang quickly said, with a bit of pride, that

“All this money and wealth was given to me by the Yan legacy.”

Hearing these words, Zhao Lang was even a little shocked.

He had also wanted some information back before.

How could he not have expected that Ji Wushuang would move so quickly?

Just look at himself, how long he had tangled with the Zhao clan back and forth before he got the other side’s money.

Ji Wushuang only went out once and got it done straight away?

Looking at Zhao Lang, Ji Wushuang thought he had concerns and explained that

“Don’t worry, King Zhao, they all said that they would only give me money and would not arrange for manpower.”

Zhao Lang was then even more confused, these Yan legacy clans were all doing charity?

Such a condition was agreed to so quickly?

Well at least struggle a little bit, just look at the Zhao clan, his attitude is so strong, the other side is still thinking of planting some people in too.

It was just that Chen Ping and Zhang Er, who were both on the sidelines, couldn’t help but look away, as if there was something not too good to talk about in there.

Zhao Lang naturally took it in his eyes.

He praised Ji Wushuang in a soft voice, had the belongings arranged and waited for Ji Wushuang to go back to her room.

Only then did Zhao Long call Chen Ping and Zhang Er to him and said that

“Tell me, what is the situation?”

The two men looked at each other for a while, and it was Chen Ping who finally said, first

“King of Zhao, my subordinate contacted the Yan legacy, and after the King of Yan met with them, he verified his identity though.”

“But there are still some people who do not quite obey the King of Yan and have called on the people to join Goguryeo.”

“And then…”

Speaking here, Chen Ping hesitated and looked at Zhang Er, who was at one side.

Zhao Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, this was obviously the manpower that Goguryeo had heard the news and arranged to come over.

If not handled properly, this liaison could easily be a graft for others.

“And then how?”

Zhang Er went on to say.

“Then the King of Yan drew his sword straight away and stabbed his opponent to death.”

“The crowd instantly worshipped directly, and there were tears, saying that the King of Yan had the style of the late Prince Dan of Yan.”

“Then they offered these possessions, and said that they would send more afterwards, and that everything was at the King of Yan’s disposal.”

After hearing this, Zhao Lang also fell into silence.

This matter was definitely done in a very rough manner, to say the least, extremely improperly.

But there was nothing he could say about the effect of this.

For now, Ji Wushuang’s control over Yan’s legacy clan was much stronger than his control over Zhao’s clan.

This is quite speechless.

Those calculations of his own seemed to be no match for Ji Wushuang’s simple, brutal sword.

After a while of silence, Zhao Lang returned to his senses and said to the two of them that

“Although the legacy of Yan has been collected, we still have to keep an eye out, Goguryeo will not stop there.”

“Keep an eye on their movements.”

Zhao Lang still admonished the two before they were ready to bid farewell and leave.

“Right, Brother Chen Ping, tomorrow is the day to observe the ceremony, you go with me.”

Chen Ping naturally answered yes.

When the two had gone, Zhao Lang could not help but look in the direction of Goguryeo.

“And I wonder if Zhang Li has taken out his own teacher, Guigu Zi.”

Because in the message he had just given, Zhao Lang also smelt the scent of the Zongheng family.

Shaking his head, Zhao Lang thought no more about it, he didn’t need to care about Goguryeo just yet, and finished tomorrow’s rituals first.
