Chapter 44: Zhao Qian succeeds to the throne

The Zhao Mansion has been burned to ruins, but it does not mean that Zhao Qian is homeless in Zhongzhou City, as the first heir of the Zhao family, he still has several properties in Zhongzhou City.

After absorbing the original defenders of Zhongzhou City and the 20,000 Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry of Long Shouyi, Zhao Fu now has more than 60,000 troops on hand, and this number should be more than enough to deal with Feng and Mo, the two commanders of Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry who will arrive tomorrow.

In this regard, Zhao Fu, who had been busy for a long time, finally got a moment of temporary rest, and they came to Zhao Qian to rest in a property in Zhongzhou City.

"Can this man be trusted?" Zhao Fu asked Zhao Qian, of course he was referring to Long Shouyi.

"Not necessarily credible, but usable." Zhao Qian responded.

"How long will it take for you to master the entire Zhao Kingdom next?" Zhao Fu asked again.

Zhao Qian didn't answer immediately, but stretched out a finger and motioned to Zhao Fuchai.

"A week?" Zhao Fu estimated.

"Wrong, one day is enough!" Zhao Qian replied confidently.

"So fast!" Zhao Fu was a little unconvinced, he thought that a week would be fast enough, after all, this was one of the largest forces in the Lanhe Empire.

"It wasn't enough, but now it's enough." Zhao Qian pointed to Zhao Yu, Zhao Yang and the others who were tied up in the room, originally if he came back and had to go with these two people to grab the position, of course it would take a certain amount of time, but now it seems that there is no need.

Zhao Fu thought about it, after all, now that the entire Zhongzhou City has completely fallen into Zhao Qian's grasp, this can be regarded as one of the few good things that Long Shouyi has done.

Mastering Zhongzhou City is equivalent to mastering the entire Zhongzhou, and mastering the entire Zhongzhou is equivalent to mastering the entire Zhao State, so it is indeed true.

"Then can you mobilize Zhao's army now?" Zhao Fu asked.

"Not quite, what's wrong?" Zhao Qian said.

"Mustard City." Zhao Fu pointed out.

Although they have now controlled Zhongzhou City in their own hands, it means that this operation to steal the house around the rear has been successful, which means that the battle in Mustard City is completely meaningless. But at this moment, the news of Zhongzhou City's change of hands has definitely not reached Mustard City, and even if it does, the defenders of Mustard City may not believe it. For this reason, Zhao Fu hoped that Zhao Qian would be able to mediate the battle in Mustard City as soon as possible.

"Ah, I almost forgot, no problem, when I succeed to the throne tomorrow, I'll let the mustard city stop there." Zhao Qian said.

"That's the best." Zhao Fu nodded.

"But...... The defenders over there may not be entirely at my disposal, as many of them were originally loyal to my two brothers. Zhao Qian shook his head, he said.

"What then?" Zhao Fu asked, he knew that Zheng Yuan had attracted a lot of firepower for them in Mustard City, and every night for a while, it was accompanied by huge casualties.

"I can only trouble the teacher to go again, I have to sit in Zhongzhou, the teacher brought my token over, if they are not willing to stop, then they have to bother the teacher to take action." Zhao Qian thought about it and said.

"Okay, when can I go?" Zhao Fu asked.

"Don't worry...... At least tomorrow after the inheritance ceremony of the head of the family, otherwise I can't mediate the defenders of Mustard City in the name of the head of the Zhao family. Zhao Qian said.

He is only the eldest young master of the Zhao family now, but even if he is the first heir of the Zhao family, he will not be able to fully mobilize the army belonging to the Zhao State, not to mention that the defenders gathered in Mustard City are still subordinate to Zhao Yang and Zhao Yu.

Early the next morning, Zhao Qian came to a hill not far from Zhongzhou City, and the inheritance ceremony of the head of the Zhao family was to be carried out on this mountain. Zhao Fu, as Zhao Qian's teacher, is of course qualified to accompany him.

The hill is lush and the stone steps are covered with moss, and in the middle of this hill, there is a temple.

"Master Sanshi, it's me!" Zhao Qian directly slapped the temple door.

After a while, an old man in a Taoist robe opened the door and ushered them in.

"Oh? Why is the eldest prince interested in visiting today? The old man didn't care about Zhao Qian's attitude, the two had obviously known each other for a long time.

"Master, can't you stop staying in this broken temple all the time? You don't know what's going on out there. Zhao Qian said.

"Hahaha, why does the old man need to know the affairs of the world, he only needs to know the spring flowers, summer cicadas, autumn yellow, and winter snow in the mountains." Master Sanshi didn't care about Zhao Qian's complaints.

"Hey, master, why don't you just refuse to go out of the mountain?" Zhao Qian sighed.

For this Master of the Three Stones, not only him, but also Zhao Xiyuan has persuaded him many times, but all of them have failed.

"Don't say it, don't say it, the old man's heart is dead, what you see is just a dead soul, a corpse." Master Sanshi shook his head, at this moment he was not as open-minded as before. But he quickly changed, smiled again, and continued to ask.

"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what does the eldest prince mean here?" Master Sanshi knows Zhao Qian's temperament very well.

"Master...... I am here to inherit the position of the head of the Zhao family. Zhao Qian said.

"Oh? Is the previous head of the family dead? "This news has given Master Sanshi a lot of shock.

"Yes, Zhao Xi...... My father died on the way to the royal army. Zhao Qian explained.

"Hey, there's no need for this, the old man also knows that you don't have a good relationship, I told him a hexagram at the beginning, and I have already told him that he needs to be cautious in everything, but he still ......" Master Sanshi sighed.

"Did you bring the token? Why don't you do a hexagram for you today, just together? Master Sanshi asked.

"Excuse me! No, I'm just here to inherit the position of head of the family. Zhao Qian hurriedly stopped, as far as he knew, although the hexagram of the Three Stone Master was extremely accurate, he had never calculated any good hexagrams, without exception, either died violently or was riddled with diseases......

"Hey, that's a pity, the old man won't just promise others to help with divination."

Then, Zhao Qian handed over a box and handed it to Master Sanshi.

Master Sanshi took the box, and actually took out an ancient seal from it, he checked it briefly, confirmed that the token was correct, and nodded: "Understood, I know." ”

"Wait a moment here." Master Sanshi turned to leave, and soon after, he took out a brand-new seal from the room and handed it to Zhao Qian.

"Thank you, Master!" Zhao Qian took the seal and thanked him.

"It's okay, it's here, let's go." Master Sanshi waved his hand.

Zhao Qian thanked him again, and then left here with Zhao Fu.

"Who is that man?" On the way back, Zhao Fu was curious.

"The oldest offering of the Zhao family, Zhao Sanshi." Zhao Qian replied.
