Chapter 3850: The Zhao Family's Opportunity
After listening to what the other party said, Old Ancestor Zhao had to admit that what he said made sense.
"But even if you know that the other party has a conspiracy, can you not worry about the safety of your family at all? Even if the enemy takes your cherished offspring hostage, can you be completely unconcerned?"
Old Ancestor Zhao asked with a sneer.
The ancestor sighed: "Brother Zhao, if you go here, we will be defeated by each other, and then we will be completely destroyed. If you stay, we can work together to deal with the enemy, and there is still a glimmer of hope. Why would the enemy lead you out? Aren’t you afraid of us joining forces to defeat them?”
Although Patriarch Zhao is very courageous, it is not that he cannot listen to what others say. After being persuaded like this, and thinking about it carefully, I found that this might actually be the case.
However, both he and the head of the Zhao family have invested too much effort and resources in Zhao Can. If something happens to Zhao Can, the loss will be unacceptable to Patriarch Zhao.
However, if he leaves now, it is very likely that the enemy will seize the opportunity and defeat him one by one.
Just when Patriarch Zhao was hesitant, one of his subordinates whispered: "Ancestor, there is something fishy about this matter. Think about it, the news we received is that our Zhao family just lost Master Can and the warehouse was ransacked. , but it was not burned down like the Lou family."
When Patriarch Zhao heard this, he frowned slightly and was thoughtful.
The subordinate continued: "Perhaps the enemy did this to give our Zhao family a little leeway. Ancestor, have you ever thought that maybe the wind direction is going to change?"
"The wind is going to change? What do you say?"
Old Ancestor Zhao glanced at this subordinate and asked.
"Recently, my subordinates have been collecting news from everywhere. I heard that most of the ten major families have suppressed the rebels, and only a few are still in a stalemate. In this case, if the Tang family If we ask for help from outside, we will most likely get a response! The situation has gradually become unfavorable to our coalition forces!"
The subordinate sent a message.
Ancestor Zhao's heart sank. To be honest, he hadn't thought about this possibility. But after all, I still feel that the coalition forces are huge and should be able to overwhelm the Tang family.
But now it seems that maybe I was too optimistic.
Could it be that their coalition forces would end up being suppressed like the coalition forces in other territories?
I have to say that this sounded the alarm for Old Ancestor Zhao.
"So, is it possible that the coalition forces are at their wits end?"
Ancestor Zhao said in a deep voice.
"Ancestor, the current situation has begun to decline. According to my subordinates, we must be mentally prepared to deal with various outcomes. Fortunately, as my subordinates just said, the opponent only ransacked the warehouse and robbed Can Young Master, we didn’t directly put the Zhao family to death. It seems that our opponent may have some back-ups, so maybe we really shouldn’t stay here any longer.”
That subordinate said.
Ancestor Zhao was full of courage. After thinking for a moment, he immediately made a decision: "Okay, pass on my order. Everyone in the Zhao family will immediately quit the rebels and evacuate from the front line!"
After this order, another ancestor was immediately dumbfounded and quickly advised: "Brother Zhao, if you do this, you are running away from the battle!"
Ancestor Zhao sneered: "It is better to run away now than to have no way to escape then. Ancestor Lai and Ancestor Lou have both fallen, but now we don't even know who our opponent is. Such an opponent, I I don’t want to be an enemy.”
This is the truth. Old Ancestor Zhao is not a weak person, but he is a clear-headed person.
In this way, Old Ancestor Zhao took the Zhao family's men away directly in front of everyone. As a result, the rebels were also caught in an uproar.
The remaining families began to fall into suspicion.
"What happened? The Zhao family actually left?"
"Are the rumors true? Are Ancestor Lai and Ancestor Lou really dead?"
"Why did the Zhao family leave? We need an explanation!"
"Yes, we can't just leave without any explanation. If there is no reasonable explanation, we have to leave too!"
Each of these people was also filled with righteous indignation. During this period, they had been kept in the dark about many things, and now that so many things happened all at once, the conflict was completely aroused.
Especially the departure of the Zhao family was the final trigger, completely detonating the emotions of all the families.
After Zhao Laozu left the coalition forces with the Zhao family's horses, he returned in the direction of the Zhao family's headquarters.
Ancestor Zhao's mood did not ease because of his decision to quit. He knew that he was taking a desperate risk. If there is any mistake in this choice, his reputation will be ruined, and it is not impossible that he may even suffer a disaster.
If the rebels finally defeated the Tang family, the Zhao family would be completely doomed.
Therefore, although he did not regret his decision, he was still slightly worried.
The subordinate persuaded: "Ancestor, don't worry. If the Zhao family withdraws, the strength of the coalition will be greatly reduced, and the morale of the army will collapse. The Tang family will definitely take this opportunity to regain the initiative. Perhaps, for the Zhao family, This is actually an opportunity.”
Patriarch Zhao asked in confusion: "An opportunity?"
"Yes, if the Tang family's luck continues, then now is a great opportunity for our Zhao family to escape from the coalition forces. Otherwise, when the Tang family calms down and starts to counterattack, then we want to escape, Maybe it’s a little late.”
The subordinate said.
"Can the Tang family really relax like this?"
Patriarch Zhao asked suspiciously.
"If there is no external aid, perhaps the Tang family has no chance this time. But now, the ten major families are obviously of the same blood, and there is an alliance front that we did not expect before. From the perspective of my subordinates, most of the enemies this time are from other families!"
Ancestor Zhao sighed lightly, knowing that what his subordinate said might not be wrong. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly condensed, and he made a gesture, indicating that everyone should be on alert.
"Ancestor!"
A panicked call came from the void, which made Ancestor Zhao's body tremble.
"Zhao Can!"
Ancestor Zhao naturally could not have misheard Zhao Can's voice, and no one could fake this voice.
At this moment, Ancestor Zhao's eyes widened and searched everywhere.
In the distant void, ripples like water waves appeared. After the ripples split, two figures emerged from them, one of which was Zhao Can.
"Can'er!"
A voice in the crowd also shouted excitedly, which was the voice of the head of the Zhao family.
Patriarch Zhao also said: "Zhao Can, you..."
Halfway through his words, Patriarch Zhao paused, seeing Zhao Can in the distance clearly unable to move on his own, and behind him stood a young man who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
