Chapter 839: An inexplicable flavor

At this moment, Zhao Xing did not know

that this act of surrender

had brought about the destruction of his entire family.

Otherwise, he would never have done such a thing.

When they followed Liu Zheng into the great hall,

Zhao Xing stood respectfully in the lower position.

Liu Zheng sat on the dragon throne.

He looked down at him and said slowly,

"Are you convinced?"

The voice rang out, carrying an inexplicable flavor.

"Your subject is willing to swear loyalty to the Han house and serve the Great Han with all my heart!"

Zhao Xing said.

Although he knew clearly that his identity had been exposed,

he had to express his loyalty.

Otherwise, there would definitely be danger.

"Good. From now on, you shall be my personal guard.

As for you all,

since Zhao Xing has already joined the Great Han,

then stay behind!"

Liu Zheng said slowly.

And Zhao Xing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was just as he had guessed.

Liu Zheng still had a use for him; otherwise, why would he make such arrangements?

However, at this moment, the other elders had looks of envy in their eyes.

They were also joining the Great Han.

By virtue of Zhao Qing’s merit, he had gained heavy responsibility.

While their children...

unless they could have sufficient value,

it was impossible for them to join the Great Han.

This was the gap.

And just at this moment, Liu Zheng spoke again,

"Zhao Xing, all of you from the Zhao family, stay behind to guard Yangguan.

The rest can leave!"

The voice carried a sense of helplessness.

However, Zhao Xing agreed readily.

He knew that they had completely angered the Han Emperor.

If they continued to stay here, it would be troublesome.

However, the other Zhao family elders were not reconciled.

They said urgently,

"Your Majesty, we are willing to follow by your side!"

At this moment, if they didn't fight for it, there would be no chance.

"You don't need to say anything more; I will not agree!"

However, just at this moment, Liu Zheng rejected their proposal.

Just as Liu Zheng’s words fell,

a clap of thunder was heard.

Then, the surrounding scenery changed.

At this moment, they discovered that they had actually returned to their ancestors' tombs.

And the moment they appeared in the outside world,

a violent collision sound was heard.

It was Zhao Qing, leading his family members, wanting to break through the obstacles within the tomb.

However, the defensive power of these tombs was too strong.

Even with Zhao Qing’s profound strength, he could barely move an inch.

And at the same time, the system sound rang in Zhao Qing’s ears,

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task.

Reward: one mysterious treasure chest.

Do you wish to open it?"

The moment the sound rang out,

Liu Zheng did not hesitate at all. ===== CHAPTER 1443 =====

He chose to open it directly.

Following the sound, the corpses within those tombs shattered in an instant.

Clearly, Zhao Qing had encountered danger here.

Then, they saw a withered skeleton crawling out from the grave mound.

Its figure was incomparably thin, its eye sockets black.

It held a sharp sword in its hand and pounced toward Liu Zheng.

When the sharp blade slashed down,

Zhao Xing and the others all felt incomparably suffocated.

And just at this moment,

a cold glint appeared at the corner of Liu Zheng’s mouth.

He punched out.

Vast magic power shone with brilliant golden light.

It was as if it were the only light between heaven and earth.

It was so scorching that one dared not look directly at it.

Following a loud roar,

the skeleton’s body was smashed flying.

Then, it fell to the ground.

Such an attack scared Zhao Xing and the others silly.

And at this moment,

Liu Zheng’s cold voice rang out again.

"Zhao Xing, obey my order!"

"This subordinate is here!"

Upon hearing the voice, the other party said quickly,

his face revealing excitement.

"I order you to lead the army to station in Yangguan City and be responsible for protecting the safety of the commoners.

The Zhao family disciples are temporarily under your command.

Three months from now, I plan to relocate the commoners to the Northwest.

During this time, you need not worry!"

Liu Zheng said indifferently.

And Zhao Xing’s face revealed excitement at this moment.

He hadn't expected that he would truly become a Great General of the Great Han.

And at the same time,

Cao Cao, who was ten thousand miles away, had already arrived in the Western Regions.

A solemn look appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, the Western Regions had completely turned into a sea of blood.

Various remains were scattered everywhere.

Everywhere were sounds of killing and wailing.

And just at this moment,

a figure walked over.

It was none other than Lu Bu.

He looked at Cao Cao and said slowly...

"Lord, should we continue?

I’m afraid it won't be easy to find them here."

At this moment, a look of anxiety appeared on Lu Bu’s face.

After all, the Great Han’s army was surrounded by the people of the Southern Barbarians.

Now, they had fallen into a desperate situation.

Cao Cao’s brows furrowed; he also hadn't expected to encounter such a situation.

"Continue walking. There must be Great Han soldiers here; they haven't died in battle yet!"

After the words fell, his body continued to walk forward.

Along the way, all they encountered were severed limbs.

No matter which force’s troops they were, they couldn't stop Lu Bu’s fierce might.

In a short time, they were slaughtered completely.

Now, Cao Cao also completely understood that Liu Zheng’s decision was correct.

If the Great Han continued to walk like this, they would probably not be able to hold on for much longer.

And at the same time,

Liu Zheng, on the other side, was also sizing up Zhao Qing in front of him.

The opponent’s cultivation speed was indeed somewhat astonishing.

He had actually broken through to the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm in such a short time.

No wonder he could be recognized by the system and become a Great General of the Great Han.

Then, Liu Zheng kicked out.

Zhao Qing’s figure retreated instantly.

"Zhao Qing thanks Your Majesty for the grace of the elixir!"

Zhao Qing knelt on the ground, his excited voice ringing out.

Liu Zheng didn't say much, but waved his hand and said,

"Zhao Xing, arrange a place for him to stay!"

"As you command!"

Zhao Xing said respectfully.

And at this moment, a smile appeared on Zhao Qing’s face.

However, before his words could fall,

Liu Zheng’s cold voice rang out again.

"Zhao Xing, obey my order!"

"This subject is here!"

Zhao Xing said quickly.

"From today on, you shall be a Great Martial General of my Great Han, enjoying the same treatment as Zhao Xing!"

Upon hearing the sound, a look of wild joy surged onto Zhao Xing’s face.

He hadn't expected such a good thing to happen.

And at this moment,

a roar rang out,

causing Zhao Xing to be startled.

Because this roar actually came from the Zhao family members that Zhao Xing had just rescued.

And just after he reacted,

a huge attractive force instantly enveloped the Zhao family members.

Then, they all fell toward the ground.

One by one, they fell into a pit, making muffled sounds.

At this moment, they finally understood... ===== CHAPTER 1444 =====
