Chapter 1282 - 167, Red-robed Steamed Bun (second update)_2
Xia Family Barracks? Zhao Hongde immediately turned to leave but was stopped by Xia Zheng’s call.
"Are you stupid or what! Who’s sitting in the room right now? And you really want to ask now—do you want to let the Xia Family Army’s secrets spill to the enemy?"
After giving Zhao Hongde a glare, Xia Zheng really felt like smacking this reckless guy to the ground.
Zhao Hongde awkwardly touched his nose and decided not to bring it up again.
However, Xia Zheng furrowed his brows slightly, pondering: "Though Dayong and Xiliang have had minor frictions over the years, we’ve still managed to coexist peacefully. Now, this Xiliang fox is making such overt provocations; he must be harboring thoughts of competing with us."
"Exactly," Zhao Hongde nodded. "I mentioned this to the Emperor before, but my second brother immediately accused me of needless worries, and the Emperor didn’t comment, so I never brought it up again."
Just thinking about Zhao Hongsheng, that stubborn and self-opinionated guy, made Xia Zheng despise him immensely. Irritated, he waved his hand: "What does he know? All he knows is infighting! Forget it, just keep this matter in mind, that’s enough."
Given it concerned the state, Prince Zhao Hongde would certainly not be careless. After discussing for a while, Zhao Hongde suddenly asked, "By the way, I heard my second brother has returned, how come I didn’t see him just now? He didn’t sneak off again, did he?"
