In the Snow: The Prince of Beiliang Rebelled at the Beginning

Chapter 130 Family

Zhao Yi sneered and said, "We just caught a few spies who tried to sneak into the city. Now we have punished them. Don't worry, it won't be easy for these people to get into the city. Our people are always keeping an eye on them."

"Even if you are a fly, don't even think about flying into the city."

Zhao Sui listened, thought for a moment, frowned and said, "This way, we can't rest any more. Yi'er, go, go, call them all, especially the generals in charge of the city defense. They must keep their eyes open and not be careless. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be earth-shattering."

"If these people come to coordinate from inside and outside, it will be very difficult for us to deal with it."

"The people inside are feeling anxious now. They all want to leave the city and stay alive."

Zhao Yi heard this and nodded.

Zhao Sui's eyes were filled with coldness as he said, "I am still worried. If the other side uses military force, we may have become an isolated city."

Zhao Yi frowned and said, "Father, what you mean is... these people will take over the surrounding areas?"

Zhao Sui nodded and said, "Yes, plus we can't get food and grass in. By then... even if we want to fight, I'm afraid the soldiers and civilians won't be able to do it!"

Zhao Yi was startled, thought carefully, smiled, and said, "Father, I will go now."

Zhao Sui was a little hesitant.

He asked, “What are you going to do?”

Zhao Yi said: "I'll go find out."

Zhao Sui waved his hand and said, "No need. Our spies will be back soon."

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps approaching.

A man stood at the door and bowed to the inside and said, "Your Majesty, I have information."

That was the palace's steward, who quickly passed the information to Zhao Sui.

After receiving the intelligence, Zhao Sui quickly read it and his face changed drastically. "It seems that this Xiang Yu is really not an ordinary person, he is very powerful!"

“It has actually come to this.”

"We are now an empty city, Yi'er, we are in danger. Soon, the people in the city will also know their situation. Then, we will be in danger!"

Zhao Yi was stunned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously: "Father, is there no one else we can use?"

Zhao Sui shook his head and said, "They're all gone, gone, gone!"

"Now they are all gone."

"Yier, go get ready."

Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment after hearing this and asked, "What am I going to do?"

Zhao Sui smiled and said, "Of course, leave here. I will guard this place."

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "If we have to leave, it should be you, my father, who should leave with your family and leave here."

Zhao Sui said angrily: "Yier, what nonsense are you talking about? This is not the time for childish things. If you leave now, you still have hope of survival. If you don't leave, you won't even have the chance to leave in the future!"

Zhao Yi said firmly: "No, no!"

"I have already promised in front of everyone, how could I go back on my word?"

He no longer had any extra thoughts.

I had explained the situation to that guy named Xiang Yu and made a bet with him, so how could I go back on my word? I had made big promises in front of all the generals and advisers, so how could I break my promise so easily?

He absolutely cannot do that.

Zhao Yi glanced at Zhao Sui, "Father, I know what you are thinking, but since I have made a promise, I cannot relax at all, let alone break my promise. But you are different. You can leave. At the beginning, you had your own ideas, but you were influenced by those counselors and generals."

"No one will blame you if you leave."

"But, after all, this is where I once lived, and I am a little reluctant to leave."

“I can’t abandon this place.”

Zhao Yi spoke from the heart. He obviously had not forgotten his original promise, nor had he forgotten what Xiang Yu had said. Moreover, he, Zhao Yi, was not a coward.

Zhao Sui shook his head and said, "You should go, kid. I don't want you to be implicated."

Zhao Yi laughed bitterly and said, "Father, you still don't understand what I mean!"

"I have no way out. I was captured and humiliated by Xiang Yu. Now, what I want to do is... revenge!"

"I want to show them that I'm not a piece of trash. I'm a living being with flesh and blood."

"I, I, I have no way out."

Zhao Sui was shocked and asked, "Didn't you tell the truth when you came back?"

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "No."

"But I was captured on the way back, and my food supplies were stolen along the way. It was also Xiang Yu's doing. I, I, we were no match for him at all. We were defeated in an instant. All my brothers died. All died!"

"From that moment on, I will never surrender again, because I want to avenge my brothers. Kill one, two, and then many, many, many people, and I will make money."

Zhao Sui frowned slightly and said, "Yier, you better go."

"I don't want you to be blinded by hatred. This is a war, not a personal grudge. If you can't even accept this, then how can you lead the troops to fight?"

"You still have to think about it carefully!"

Zhao Yi's eyes were slightly red. He stared at his father and asked, "Even you don't believe me?"

Zhao Sui shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, but you have been led by the nose. This kind of war is the most terrifying. If you are clear-headed, how can I not trust you to leave this place to you?"

"Take all your families and leave here. I have already told people to get ready. You can break out at night. When the time comes, the place you are going to is Beiliang."

"What?" Zhao Yi was shocked, staring at Zhao Sui and asked, "Father, what does this mean?"

Zhao Sui said, "Child, Xu Xiao and I are still friends. He won't make things difficult for you when you go to Beiliang. You can live the rest of your life well in Beiliang. There will be no problem."

"And your mother, your wife, your brothers and sisters, they are innocent!"

"Besides, they are still young. As the eldest brother, you naturally have to act like an eldest brother and not let them suffer. Do you understand?"

Zhao Yi heard this and couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked, "Father, what on earth do you mean by this?"

Zhao Sui continued, "My child, you still don't understand. My meaning is very clear. If you leave, take your family with you. I think Xiang Yu outside the city will not make things difficult for you."

Zhao Yi couldn't help but frown and asked, "How do you know?"

Zhao Sui said: "If I'm not mistaken, Xiang Yu was sent by Xu Ping'an, the prince of Beiliang, and he didn't attack the city because he was waiting for my father and I to surrender. He would definitely not embarrass my family."

He said it with absolute certainty.

Even Zhao Yi couldn't believe it.
