Zhao Zhenfeng had two sons, one named Zhao Hu and the other named Zhao Long. They were the two men standing beside him.

Zhao Long was Zhao Zhenfeng's second son and currently, he was the heir to the Zhao family. Thus, Zhao Long was the first to speak.

This person was very shrewd and ruthless. He looked at his father and bowed his head as he replied, "Father, this news should be very accurate. Your son had also received this news in secret. "It's just that I didn't expect that the Xu family's trash would be able to escape for over three thousand miles in such a short amount of time. I believe that this matter was definitely arranged by that old fox Xu Jinxi, which is why our people were unable to find any clues."

"Prince, aren't you talking nonsense!?" "Hmph, if I said it, it would be as good as not saying it at all!"

As soon as Zhao Long finished his sentence, Zhao Hu snorted in disdain.

As the eldest son of the Zhao Family, he was not the crown prince. Zhao Hu was naturally dissatisfied with his second son. The two had fought for many years, both overtly and covertly.

"Hur hur, then I do want to hear big brother's brilliant opinions!"

Zhao Long said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Zhao Hu snorted coldly, his eyes filled with ferocity, "Father, as I see it, this matter is very simple. You should just send your son to kill that old fox Xu Jinxi, and then finish everything before snatching that woman from the Xu family back for interrogation. When that time comes, won't all of the Xu family's matters fall into our hands? Isn't this superfluous? "

"Idiot!"

Zhao Long snickered in his heart. You think you're qualified to fight against me? Hmph, just you wait to be scolded.

"Impudent!" What do you know? He only knew how to fight and kill in a single day! Can't you think about it more? "

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Hu finished speaking, Zhao Zhenfeng's face darkened. He scolded, "Hu'er, you don't need to ask about this matter anymore. You can leave it to your brother."

Zhao Zhenfeng secretly shook his head. Among his two sons, his eldest son, Zhao Hu, was born from a concubine. Unfortunately, his eldest son, Zhao Hu, was born from a concubine.

Unfortunately, Zhao Hu had a rough and unrestrained temperament, he was straightforward, liked to practice martial arts, and was used to doing things in a straightforward manner. He was brave and courageous, but he was not smart enough; his second son, Zhao Hu, was born into an ordinary wife.

In terms of relationships, Zhao Zhenfeng actually liked his eldest son, Zhao Hu, a bit more. After all, Zhao Hu was born from the same family, but his eldest son was stupid and rude, making it hard for him to take on any responsibilities. Therefore, although he did not like his second son, who was extremely intelligent, he had no choice but to adopt him as a son for the great cause of the Zhao Family.

On the matter of the Crown Prince, Zhao Zhenfeng naturally knew that Zhao Hu, as the eldest son, was naturally uncomfortable. That was why he felt that he owed his eldest son, which was why he was so tolerant of Zhao Hu. However, the secret technique of the Xu Family was of great importance and involved a lot of people. In order to obtain the secret cultivation technique of the Xu Family, he had no choice but to berate Zhao Hu for fear that he would ruin his plans.

"Father, it's not like I'm wrong. I can't accept this!" Zhao Hu glared at him and said unhappily.

Zhao Zhenfeng sighed. He still couldn't bear to scold his son, so he slowed down his words and said, "Hu'er, do you know why I won't let you lead people to eradicate Xu Jinxi?"

Zhao Hu scratched his head and shook his head. "I'm not too sure about that, but who knows what you are thinking, lord father."

Beside him, Zhao Long had a solemn expression, but in his heart, he was overjoyed. An idiot is still an idiot, with your silly look, you want to compete with me for the position of the crown prince? How reckless.

Zhao Zhenfeng was both angry and amused as he said with a straight face, "Idiot, do you think the Xu Family can be eliminated that easily? "The Xu family has been established in the Empire for hundreds of years, and has been ingrained deeply in the empire. Even the emperor does not dare to underestimate the Xu family, and if not for internal strife within the Xu family, with the secret support of the emperor and Immortal Ma's participation, as well as the meticulous plans he made with Xu Jinxi, how could he have done things so easily?"

Zhao Hu curled his lips and shouted, "What's wrong with that? Didn't we kill Xu Jincheng and his men as well? What's the use of keeping Xu Jinxi? "On the contrary, it's a secret to secretly make obstructions and fight with us over the Xu Family."

Zhao Zhenfeng shook his head and said, "Hu'er, you are wrong. We can kill Xu Jincheng and his men, but not that Xu Jinxi."

Zhao Hu rubbed his head and asked with a puzzled expression, "Dad, why is that?"

Zhao Zhenfeng glanced at Zhao Hu before patiently explaining, "Although we've secretly dispatched people to kill the Xu Family's direct descendants, the Xu Family still has the Great General Xu Jinan who's guarding in the Northwest Tiger City. He holds an important position and his strength is not to be underestimated, so it's not so easy for us to expose ourselves for now."

Zhao Hu was confused when he heard this, but Zhao Long's eyes kept flickering as if he had understood something.

Zhao Zhenfeng saw the expressions on his two sons' faces and paused for a moment, before continuing, "In addition, besides the main direct line, side branch and branch branches of the Xu Family, the Xu Family also has many other distant relatives, cousins and subsidiary families. These are all very complicated and affect the entire family, which is why the Empire is so concerned about the Xu Family, not daring to make a move against it. "Although we've killed the main force of the Xu Family, all of this was done in secret. In the eyes of outsiders, they only know that an internal conflict has occurred within the Xu Family, that Xu Jinxi murdered the current Patriarch of the Xu Family and a member of the side branch just because he tried to seize the Patriarch's position. It has nothing to do with our General's estate at all."

After saying this, Zhao Hu was dumbfounded. Zhao Long then clapped his hands and praised, "This plan is marvelous. As long as Xu Jinxi is here, then the Xu Family in Dragon City will exist. Since the Xu Family still exists in Dragon City, then the distant relatives, cousins and subordinate families will naturally not feel threatened, nor will they pay too much attention to and take part in the internal strife of the Xu Family, let alone target our General's house. "

A light flashed in Zhao Zhenfeng's eyes. He nodded and praised, "Long'er, your analysis is not bad. Continue!"

Zhao Long shot a glance at Zhao Hu. A trace of pride flashed in his eyes. He then bowed towards Zhao Zhenfeng and said, "Father, if I'm not wrong, at this moment, Father is purposely announcing the marriage alliance with the Zhao Family."

Zhao Zhenfeng nodded slightly and signaled for Zhao Long to continue.

"Your son thinks that if we spread the news of the marriage between us and the Xu Family, it would be a very ingenious move. Once this news is spread, all of the powers of the Xu Family that are against Xu Jinxi will have some scruples, and they will not dare to go against him openly. And now, if Xu Jinxi doesn't fall, then he will be standing in the open, shielding us from the winds and the rain. Your son thinks that if Xu Jinnan and the other opposing forces don't fall, they will naturally not pay attention to our General's House. "Since that's the case, wouldn't it be easier for us to act in secret? We should take advantage of the internal strife between Xu Jinnan and Xu Jinxi and seize this opportunity to seize the cultivation secret of the Xu family."
