Chapter 134 - 128: A Talk
Upon receiving Fan Ying at Zhao’s Fortress, they knew that Zhao Hanzhang had captured Xiping County and driven the rebel forces out. According to the soldiers who returned, she also seized a considerable amount of gold, silver, and jewels.
However, the elders of the Zhao Family were not concerned with this; they were more interested in, "When will Third Lady bring her people back?"
Even though Shi Le had left, they still felt unsafe.
The soldier said, "The Lady General didn’t say."
Zhao Hu urged, "Then hurry and call her back, since the rebel forces are gone, there’s no point in her staying there."
Zhao Ming glanced at Zhao Hu and asked the soldier, "Who’s in charge in Xiping County now?"
The soldier answered honestly, "The Lady General is."
Zhao Ming raised his hand to rub his forehead and after a moment said, "I’ll go to the county town with you."
Zhao Hu was surprised, "What are you going to do? Our fortress is currently short-handed, and many matters await your decision."
"My father and the uncles in the clan can make decisions on matters at home; I’ll visit the county town briefly and return soon." It’s not far from Xiping County, a fast ride to-and-fro would suffice.
