As for the next fourth and fifth successions, as well as the heirs who came in rank to the twenty-seventh, Zhao Qian really couldn't put any of them into account. Those are the descendants of the Zhao family, and the name of the Zhao family is called the heir in order, in fact, the position of the head of the Zhao family has nothing to do with them at all, unless one day the previous heirs all have the same disease and then burp on the same day,

His current competitors are the second heir Zhao Yu and the third heir Zhao Yang, and Zhao Yu is because he is Zhao Xiyuan's parent, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he directly and automatically obtained the status of the crown prince. This made several big shopkeepers who were personally supported by Zhao Xiyuan still loyal to Zhao Yu's side. And Zhao Yang is because of his father's special status, he is the elder brother of Zhao Xiyuan, the head of the previous family, and his subordinates have also gathered several big shopkeepers.

But this number is too disparity, after all, it is twenty-five to twelve, and the number of big shopkeepers behind Zhao Qian alone is more than double that of the remaining two combined.

Zhao Qian's only concern was that if the few great elders of the Zhao family were still indulging in the illusion that the Zhao family was unmatched, he insisted that since the Zhao family was established, the head of the Zhao family was the head of the Zhao family, and the head of the Zhao family was the lord of the Zhao family. After all, the head of the Zhao family chose Xian, and the head of the Zhao country chose the bloodline. Although they are all descendants, Zhao Qian is not Zhao Xiyuan's biological son.

After Zhao Fu got Zhao Qian's assurance, he didn't think much about it anymore, he asked so much just because he was facing the behemoth of Zhao Guo, and he needed enough information, so as not to run around like a headless fly and not find the point, not some reassurance. Zhao Fu knew that Zhao Qian's guarantee was guaranteed, but it was a powerful force that made the guarantee a reality.

And in this age of flames, the most powerful force is the army.

Zhao Fu and Zheng Yuan set off in the starry night, with one man and three horses, ensuring that the huge cavalry team could maintain the best condition and marching speed. Light cavalry like them can continue to march for sixteen hours a day, and if they are in good condition, they can march more than five hundred miles in a day. And this is because the horses must be well rested, otherwise these veterans can fall asleep on the back of a bumpy horse, and if they are fighting in the northwest, there are enough horses to replace, and these veterans can even march more than 800 miles a day - they only need someone in front to lead the horses.

Zhao Fu and their speed was faster than expected, and they had already arrived at the northwest border on the night of the seventh day, where they carried out a supply of supplies, replaced some wounded war horses, and carried out final repairs.

After leaving the northwest and entering the territory of Zhao, he may encounter enemies at any time, and Zhao Fude is always prepared for the worst.

"Beyond the front is Geyang City, and my people should already be waiting for us there." Zhao Qian looked at the map and pointed to the hills in front of him and said.

"Okay, let's rest for the night to recharge our batteries, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

After leaving the northwest, Zhao Fu and the others could no longer maintain the terrifying marching speed in the northwest because of the terrain and their lack of understanding of the surrounding environment.

But Zhao Fu and the others still successfully arrived outside Geyang City at noon the next day.

"Something is wrong." Zhao Fu looked at the slaughtered city walls of Geyang City in the distance.

Geyang City is not big, although it is located on the border of Zhao State, bordering the northwestern jurisdiction of the Lanhe Empire controlled by Zhao Fu, but Geyang City obviously does not have the consciousness that a border city should have. Geyang City is the same as all the small and medium-sized cities in the Lanhe Empire - those with moats dig moats, and those without moats don't even bother to dig ditches.

Geyang City is such a city without a moat, at first glance it is too ordinary, the city walls of ordinary height, the city towers of ordinary height, the number of arrow towers, there is really nothing special about it.

But it was this kind of ordinariness that made Zhao Fu feel that something was wrong.

Geyang City, as a border city, is too ordinary, and Lan Ting, which is also a border city, is much more distinctive, even if Zhao Fu is tired of seeing Lan Ting now.

"Shall I shout?" Zhao Qian asked.

"Are you idiots, so many people are standing on the city wall, what are you going to shout, shouting 'arrows'?" Zhao Fu gave Zhao Qian a violent trembling in his head.

Yes, if there is anything unusual about this Geyang City, it is that he, as an ordinary city, should never have so many soldiers on the city walls when there is no enemy to attack.

"What then, I don't feel right, it's not like my person." Zhao Qian didn't know where to find a telescope and began to explore on the city wall.

"That's not right! This is not our people! Zhao Qian saw several big people on the city wall through the telescope, and they were not the people he arranged at all.

Information that can now be made public:

Crescent City, the holy city of the New Holy Sect, is built around the Crescent Moon Valley and is a city designed by Xu Lingling to resonate with the gods. The core building is the inconspicuous temple at the top of the valley, where Xu Lingling's cultivation place is, nourished by Xu Lingling's purest divine power for a long time, it will emit all kinds of different visions at night, and it is also engraved by Xu Lingling with a large number of Shinto runes to guard Crescent City.

Crescent City is the first city built by Xu Lingling with the help of divine power, so there are many wonders, such as the huge central icon, which is essentially just a boulder, which was ignited by Xu Lingling with divine power, and it is said that believers can see the appearance of the god from it, and the more devout believers can see it clearly.

And the land cultivated around Crescent City can grow any crop as long as it is sown and carefully cared for.

There are more mysteries, all of which originate from Xu Lingling's divine power, which is a power that does not belong to this world, but appearing in the holy city of Crescent City, it seems to be taken for granted in the eyes of everyone.

Because they are the ones who serve the gods, and this is the city that serves the gods.

At the beginning of the construction of Crescent City, it was only a stronghold of the Holy Sect, which was used to accommodate hundreds of thousands of believers to shelter from the wind and cold in the valley and cultivate fields, and later with the help of Zhao Fu, it began to build and expand the city, and its population capacity also increased from hundreds of thousands to millions, and then through further expansion, it became extremely large after the plan absorbed the satellite cities around Crescent City (such as planting manors and mills and buildings outside Crescent City), and finally according to the estimation of the Holy Sect, The peak carrying capacity of Crescent City can reach about 10 million.

This is already the population of a small country, but the actual level of construction of Crescent City is still far from the goal of 10 million, which is why Xu Lingling hopes to introduce labor.

I suddenly remembered that my brain was bubbling up before that Crescent City could accommodate 10 million people...... Forget it, people are holy cities, there is black technology, forgive me, kneel for yourself.

Hurry up and supplement the setting of Crescent City.
