Chapter 701

A deep, resonant voice echoed from within the city.

"Zhao Xing, you have come just in time.

My son has been captured inside the city; you must rescue him immediately!"

Zhao Zhao Lingxiao said.

At this moment, he was unwilling to give up, hoping Zhao Xing would take action.

As long as he could ensure the safety of his only heir, that would be enough.

"What!"

The rage in Zhao Xing's eyes was almost impossible to conceal.

Zhao Zhao Lingxiao's son had actually been captured.

He immediately said coldly.

"You all stay outside the city; I will go and take a look!"

After these words fell.

He swept toward the city.

The members of the Zhao family, although they felt somewhat strange.

Did not say much and returned directly to the residence.

At this time, Zhao Zhao Lingxiao was sitting in the living room waiting for news.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

"Who is it?"

Zhao Zhao Lingxiao asked.

And the person outside the door, after hesitating for a moment, said slowly.

"Father, it is I, Zhao Xing!"

The voice rang out.

Causing a look of joy to appear in Zhao Zhao Lingxiao's eyes.

"Please, come in quickly!"

The voice had just fallen.

Zhao Xing pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing him, the smile on Zhao Zhao Lingxiao's face grew even richer.

"Haha, nephew, you have finally arrived!"

He enthusiastically pulled Zhao Xing to a seat.

Then he spoke.

"Zhao Yun, for some unknown reason, has fallen out with Liu Zheng of the Great Han.

He is now detained within the royal palace, and they have threatened to tear him limb from limb. I wonder if you have any way to help, nephew!"

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Xing nervously, his eyes full of expectation.

Zhao Xing was the strongest among the third generation of the Zhao family.

In Zhao Zhao Lingxiao's view, his precious son had been captured.

If there was no way out, the Zhao family would surely be destroyed.

Such a thing must never happen again.

Hearing this, light flickered in Zhao Xing's eyes.

If Zhao Yun had been captured, then the danger to the Zhao family was naturally more than half resolved.

Thinking of this, he spoke.

"Father, wait a moment!"

Then, he turned and left.

Upon arriving outside the city.

He did not pause in the slightest.

He shouted to his adjutant.

"Send word to Lu Bu, tell him to lead the army to suppress the various rebels.

We are going to attack the Great Han! Remember, do not get bogged down in fighting; the big picture is what matters most!"

Zhao Xing's voice was incomparably cold.

At this moment, he had already decided to follow Xiang Yu to attack the Great Han.

However, just after his words fell.

The adjutant did not dare to delay at all.

He quickly acknowledged the order and retreated.

And at this time.

Lu Bu's ears twitched, and after hearing the voice from outside the city.

He immediately ordered the army to strike.

"Drive the golden chariot, follow me in the charge, kill!"

After the words fell.

Lu Bu's figure soared into the sky.

Then, the Great Han army crashed toward the distance.

Zhao Xing and the others did not yet know that their fate was already sealed.

At this moment, they were discussing how to sabotage the marriage between Liu Zheng and Zhao Yun.

After all, this matter was too important for the Zhao family.

Just then, a loud noise erupted in an instant.

Following that, a vast aura descended upon everyone.

Everyone was terrified.

Then, they saw the city gate swing wide open.

A golden chariot appeared on the scene.

Standing upon it was none other than Lu Bu.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhao Lingxiao's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Zhao Yun was captured, the Zhao family was now in jeopardy, and their only reliance was lost.

He did not know how he would go on living.

At this moment, he could only pray for heaven's mercy.

Otherwise, they were truly in danger.

And just as he was filled with worry.

Lu Bu had already spoken.

"Zhao Xing, Zhao Yun is the son-in-law personally appointed by His Majesty; you dare to intercept him.

Your Zhao family is truly rebelling, surrender now!"

Lu Bu's voice was filled with icy coldness.

Causing Zhao Xing's expression to change involuntarily.

Then, he shouted.

"Lu Bu, stop being arrogant, you dare to kill my Zhao family disciples.

Today, we will fight to the death!"

As the voice rang out, the surrounding Zhao family experts also drew their weapons.

They understood that this battle concerned the future of the Zhao family.

However, just after his words fell.

A palm struck out, and Zhao Xing's chest collapsed inward.

Then, his body was sent flying.

Blood sprayed across the void.

And at this moment, arrows came flying in.

Zhao family disciples, in this round of attacks.

At least several hundred fell.

The people of the Zhao family were shocked.

When had the Zhao family ever suffered such humiliation?

And in front of everyone, no less.

For a moment, sharp glints surged in their eyes.

They wished they could tear Lu Bu into pieces.

But they were completely helpless against him.

"Hmph!"

Lu Bu let out a cold snort.

Then he commanded the army to continue the assault.

This time, the Zhao family suffered heavy losses.

Within a short period of time.

They could no longer organize any decent resistance.

Whether it was Zhao Xing or the others, they were beaten back step by step.

In the end, they even almost lost their lives.

Zhao Zhao Lingxiao, seeing the ferocity of the Great Han soldiers.

Finally could not hold back, knelt directly on the ground and said...

"The Zhao family is willing to surrender to the Great Han!"

His voice was tinged with bitterness.

At this moment, he understood clearly.

The Great Han had grown into a behemoth.

The Zhao family could no longer afford to provoke them.

"Fengxian, bring the Zhao family head into the royal palace!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu shouted.

Then, he stepped forward.

He hauled Zhao Zhao Lingxiao up.

Amidst the fearful gazes of the crowd, they headed toward the royal palace.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, the Emperor of Han!"

When Zhao Zhao Lingxiao walked into the main hall.

He said cautiously.

And at this time, Liu Zheng's eyes revealed indifference.

He did not believe that this Zhao family would surrender.

Especially after hearing the other party's voice.

He said slowly.

"What do you intend to do!"

His voice was filled with gloom.

"My Zhao family is willing to submit to the Great Han and never betray you!"

Zhao Zhao Lingxiao's voice was filled with respect.

At this point, he dared not show the slightest negligence.

"Since that is the case, you may withdraw; I shall pardon the rest of the Zhao family!"

Liu Zheng said slowly.

Such an outcome had long been within his expectations.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I take my leave!"

Zhao Zhao Lingxiao said respectfully.

At this moment, he dared not hesitate any longer.

Then, he headed toward the rear.

The Zhao family members followed closely behind.

And Liu Zheng, only after the Zhao family members had exited the royal city, said slowly.

"Lu Bu, hear my order!"

"This general obeys the decree!"

Hearing the voice, Lu Bu's tone was filled with deep joy.

At the same time, on the other side, Zhao Zhao Lingxiao had returned to the Zhao residence.

Zhao Xing and the others rushed to meet him.

"Ancestor, is our Zhao family finished!"

Zhao Xing asked, trembling.

At this moment, he was clearly very afraid.

Because just a moment ago, the Great Han soldiers had already surrounded the entire Zhao family.

"Finished, the Zhao family is completely finished.

From today on, we must change our surname to Liu!"

Zhao Zhao Lingxiao said with a sigh.

A look of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

Although he was reluctant, there was no other way.

Then, he began to give orders.

"Zhao Xing, from now on, you will be in charge of the Zhao family's shops.

The annual tribute will be halved! I hope you will take care of yourself!"

After the voice fell, he walked toward the back hall.

And Zhao Xing, at this moment, collapsed on the spot.

The rise of the Zhao family seemed to be coming to an end.
