Chapter 769: Seizing the spirit stone vein

Under the opponent's sword, he was directly exploded.

Such a scene was something no one would have expected.

The dignified eldest young master of the Zhao family was actually so miserable.

Then, those mechanical soldiers captured him.

When he was escorted before Huang Zhao Tiangang,

the latter said indifferently,

"Are you convinced!"

Upon hearing the voice, a look of ferocity appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes.

But immediately after, he lowered his head and said respectfully,

"I submit, please forgive my crimes, Great General!"

His voice trembled, and his eyes even showed panic.

"Hmph!"

Seeing such a scene, Huang Zhao Tiangang snorted coldly.

Then, he waved his hand, signaling Zhao Xing to retreat.

And Zhao Xing, as if he had picked up his life, hurried back to his mansion.

Regardless, this matter was finally completed "073". As long as he returned to the Zhao Kingdom, it would be fine.

At the same time.

Inside the palace of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Outside an incomparably luxurious main hall, Zhao Zhao Qiming stood respectfully.

Not only him, but all the generals present at this time had gathered here.

And Zhao Zhao Qingde was sitting on the dragon throne.

His face wore a grave expression.

"Zhao Qiming, this mission has failed.

After Zhao Xing returns, you must ask him clearly what exactly he encountered!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhao Qiming nodded and slowly retreated.

Then, at the entrance of the main hall, two figures appeared in everyone's sight.

It was none other than Zhao Xing.

At this moment, a trace of gloom appeared in his eyes.

After seeing Zhao Zhao Qingde, he hurriedly bowed and knelt down.

He spoke respectfully.

"Greetings, Father!"

"Rise.

Tell me, what trouble did you encounter this time?

And who exactly did this?"

Zhao Zhao Qingde asked.

A flash of sharp light flickered in Zhao Xing's eyes.

Then, he spoke cautiously.

"It was the Han Emperor of the Great Han. We originally planned to ambush the Great Zhou army to seize the spirit stone vein.

However, we did not expect to encounter the Han Emperor's army.

In the end, that Liu Zheng even dispatched a mysterious army to fight us.

We suffered heavy losses before they rescued me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhao Qingde frowned.

The strength of this Great Han was not weak, to actually make his son return in defeat.

Then, he shouted.

"This mistake will be noted for now.

In the future, you must make up for it twofold!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhao Xing said, shedding tears of gratitude.

Then, he retreated.

However, just as he was about to return to his own room.

Zhao Zhao Qingde's voice rang out at this moment.

"Zhao Xing, stop right there. Is there anything else?"

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Xing dared not delay and hurriedly said.

"Reporting to Father, this is a letter sent by the Great Han envoy.

He said you must open it yourself!"

He said respectfully, fearing he might annoy the other party.

After all, Zhao Zhao Qingde held immense power within the Great Song.

If the other party were to be enraged, he would not be able to bear it.

"Oh, there is a gift too? Open it and let me see!"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Zhao Qingde's mouth.

In his mind, he was wondering who this Great Han envoy was.

And Zhao Xing dared not delay.

He respectfully handed over the letter.

Just after the other party took it and opened it to take a look.

His face sank completely.

The letter stated.

They had already discovered that people from the Zhao Song Dynasty had secretly targeted their Great Han.

Therefore, they must be taught a lesson.

Furthermore, they must atone for their crimes.

Otherwise, they would annihilate the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Such a threat caused Zhao Zhao Qingde's pupils to shrink involuntarily.

He did not expect that even though he had hidden so deeply, these people from foreign lands had actually discovered clues.

However, just as he was about to speak in rebuttal.

Zhao Xing's voice rang out.

"Father, what should we do now? Are we really going to bow and admit our mistake to the Han Emperor?

How shameful this is! If we really do this, where will the dignity of our Great Song Dynasty remain!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhao Qingde could not help but sigh and say.

"If we don't compromise, what would you have us do!"

Zhao Zhao Qingde's voice carried a hint of sorrow.

"Father, if we surrender to the Han Emperor.

Given his fierce and tyrannical personality, he will definitely come to settle scores with us later!"

A look of fear appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes.

He dared not continue speaking.

"Sigh, how could I want this?

But the strength of this Great Han is too formidable.

As we are now, we are no longer a match for the Great Han, unless we can break through our cultivation realms...

Otherwise, we are simply no match for him!

Moreover, even if we could win, it would be a pyrrhic victory.

In that case, we would face retaliation from the Great Xia.

We would be at a dead end!"

Zhao Zhao Qingde said with a sense of despair.

And just after his voice fell.

Zhao Xing spoke again.

"Father, the Great Xia Dynasty will not help the Great Han, so we need not worry.

I know they want to subjugate all tribes, but they cannot subjugate everyone.

Therefore, the Great Han should not deal with us.

Moreover, according to reports, the Han Emperor seems to be searching for some treasure.

They wouldn't care about the existence of the Great Xia Dynasty at all.

As long as we can provide enough spirit stones.

Perhaps we will have a chance to survive!"

Zhao Xing said tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhao Qingde fell into hesitation.

His goal, naturally, was not just what Zhao Xing said, but the entire Great Song.

If Zhao Qinian could ascend to the throne as Emperor, he would also benefit greatly.

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted.
