Zhao Hao knew that once such hatred was sown, it would be difficult to eradicate.
Fortunately, He Yi and He Man weren't sent here in this life, otherwise it would have been difficult for me to recruit the Xu brothers.
"I am Xu Yuan, the patriarch of the Xu family and the owner of this manor. May I ask which general is the Duke of Qin?"
An elderly man, well past fifty, greeted Zhao Hao's arrival not far from the gate of the manor.
