As Zhao Fu led the team away, Zhao Qian finally returned to Zhongzhou City, he did not return to the courtyard where he had lived before, but turned around and came to another courtyard in the west of Zhongzhou City.

This courtyard seems to have been uninhabited all along, and no one knows who its owner is, and many residents of Zhongzhou City have known about the existence of this courtyard since they were born.

But it is like the thousand-year-old tree in the center of Zhongzhou City, which has been quietly staying there, with the attitude that people are accustomed to.

This time, Zhao Qian came to the front of this courtyard, and he reached out to push the door of the courtyard, but it was only concealed.

Not long after pushing the door open, several maids in the courtyard trotted over, and saw that it was Zhao Qian who was stunned for a moment, and then separated one and hurriedly led Zhao Qian, and the rest hurried to close the hidden door again.

This small courtyard is actually inhabited.

Zhao Qian was led into the inner room by the maid who led the way, and saw that a large number of people were already sitting inside.

Some are drinking, some are closing their eyes to recuperate, some are cooking tea, and there are even unbearable scenes of putting their hands into the clothes of the maid they are holding.

"Imp, is that you?" Eventually, the old man opened his eyes.

"It's me, I'm the head of the family." Zhao Qian said and handed over the token given to him by Master Sanshi.

The old man stretched out his dry hand to take the token and carefully examine it for a moment, and then handed it back to Zhao Qian.

"Yes, but what do you tell me to wait?" After the old man confirmed, he asked,

"But there are some little things to ask for." Zhao Qian said.

After visiting the mysterious courtyard in the west of the city, Zhao Qian went to several unknown and hidden places, met many people, and called his tokens out for those people to inspect, and then recognized his position as the head of the family.

After confirming that these backbones of the Zhao family had not suffered any losses, Zhao Qian also breathed a sigh of relief. Like his conjecture, although Zhao Xiyuan set up a large number of heirs according to the ranking, in fact, he was the heir designated by the Zhao family.

From the control of the secret passage, it can be seen that the only secret passage that the two heirs of Zhao Yu and Zhao Yang know is the latest "Heavenly Eagle Dao" dug by Zhao Xiyuan, but they don't know anything about the other secret passages. But this does not mean that no one in the Zhao family knows about those secret passages, in fact, the great offerings of the Zhao family, and the elders have entered the secret passages of the Zhao family that they know one after another after realizing that the situation is wrong. The small courtyards that Zhao Qian visited were the exits of the secret passages in Zhongzhou City, and apparently only he knew about it.

Mustard City.

The war in Mustard City continues, and it continues the previous stalemate. Zheng Yuan didn't know the news of Zhongzhou City's change of hands, and the defenders of Mustard City were the same, they were still making meaningless efforts for their respective duties.

The war has entered a white-hot stage, and both sides have losses, and now it seems that the defenders of Mustard City have suffered heavier casualties, after all, although Zheng Yuan fought hard, he did not seek to capture Mustard City, so Zheng Yuan was also trying his best to stop the loss.

By the time Zhao Fu led the team to Mustard City, Zheng Yuan's department had already caused huge casualties of more than 30,000 people and nearly 40,000 people, and it could be said that the entire mustard water had already been dyed red.

And Lin Ji and the Imperial Capital Imperial Guard led by him also successfully arrived yesterday, and his Zheng Yuan's army was across the river. They had a confrontation in the morning, and it turned out that Zheng Yuanfang suffered a lot of losses.

"Master!" After many days, Zheng Yuan couldn't help but be very excited when he saw Zhao Fu again, because it meant that Zhao Fu's action was successful.

"Thank you for your hard work, we are done with this battle." Zhao Fudao.

Then, Zhao Fu asked Long Shouyi to send the handwritten letter that Zhao Qian handed over to him into Mustard City - it would be safer to hand over this kind of thing to Long Shouyi, and after fighting the defenders of Mustard City for so long, who knows if they will uphold the rule that the two countries will not fight each other.

This situation obviously made it more appropriate for Long Shouyi, who belonged to the "friendly army" on their side, to come out.

"General, the reply over there is that it will take a while." Long Shouyi also conveyed the news of Mustard City to Zhao Fu.

Obviously, the mustard city side received this kind of news and was not shocked, they need a certain amount of time to digest, after all, anyone who has been fighting with a guy who has not liked the eye for a long time, and the two of them have broken their skin, and suddenly someone told them, you can't fight like this, you are brothers.

It's all the same effect.

Zhao Fu nodded, expressing understanding.

"You go and negotiate with them, and say that if we are really not at ease, we can camp outside the city, and all we want is a truce to avoid unnecessary casualties. And we'll repair overnight and go back to Lanting tomorrow, hoping that the mustard city side can support some food. Zhao replied.

They were already lightly armed, and the food they carried was not enough, which was no longer enough to support them to return to the next supply point.

Zheng Yuan didn't want to waste any more time explaining anything with the defenders of Mustard City, if it wasn't for the lack of food, he didn't even bother to explain, but came directly to Mustard City to join Zheng Yuan and then went back to Lanting with his troops.

Zhao Fu and the others came out of Zhongzhou City in a hurry, so their food may not be able to last until they rush back to Jiulian City.

"Okay!" When Long Shouyi learned about it, he dutifully ran again.

Soon, Long Shouyi came back with a smiling face.

"The city agreed to our request for food distribution, and the guards of the city invited us to the city for a while." Long Shouyi relayed.

"Into the city?" Zhao Fu didn't understand what he meant, they didn't know each other, and he subconsciously suspected that this was a trap.

Then, Zheng Yuan leaned closer and whispered to Zhao Fu: "Lin Ji has arrived in Mustard City. ”

"I see." Zhao Fu nodded, he turned around and told Long Shouyi that he knew.

As a result, the two parties who were still fighting to the death in Mustard City suddenly shook hands and made peace, and even the entire Mustard City changed the haze caused by the war, but it was the Mustard City side that held a feast in order to welcome Zhao Fu's arrival, which was completely a joyful scene.

No one would have guessed that this place was a battlefield shrouded in grief and despair, a ruthless meat grinder thrown into tens of thousands of lives.

Countless people have disappeared here forever, and history will not even remember their names.

However, this banquet held to welcome Zhao Fu's arrival is very likely to be recorded in the history related to Zhongzhou and Mustard City.

The posture of the mustard city side was also very low, consciously unloading the weapon, and at the same time taking the initiative to take the responsibility of cleaning the battlefield outside the city.

"General, the front is it." Long Shouyi said.
