Zhao Mingxiao's body had been weak since he was a child. Although the Old Island Master loved and cared for him, he was not as devoted as he was to Zhao Tianji. When he was young, he thought that it was because of his poor health that his father did not care for him so much. Later, he accidentally heard his father's conversation with Zhao Tianji, and he learned of his background.
He and Zhao Tianji were not biological brothers. He was merely the orphan of one of the Old Island Master's subordinates. The Old Island Master saw his subordinate's loyalty and treated him like a son.
Therefore, the Zhao Family Island was destined to belong to Zhao Tianji, and he would always be a foil.
He was not willing to be Zhao Tianji's shadow, so he wanted to be the number one person in the Zhao Family Island. As long as he could turn the Zhao Family Island into the Zhao Kingdom, his name would be different in the future. He would be the greatest emperor of the Zhao Family Island since ancient times.
"Huangfu Chen, what do you mean by that?" Elder Duan pointed at Huangfu Chen and questioned him sternly.
"Only the true descendants of the Zhao Family know that without the consent of the Huangfu Family, the Zhao Family Island can never be called a country." This was the will set by the ancestor Zhao Zhao before he died, and it had always been recorded on the last page of the island's rules. Only the Island Master would know about this.
In fact, before Zhao Zhao died, what she missed the most was not how to make the Zhao Family Island strong enough to be called a country, but to be forgiven by the Emperor of the Jing Kingdom.
The descendants of the Huangfu Family were also her descendants. Since she was remorseful, how could she be willing to see the descendants of her island and the Huangfu Family kill each other?
"Island Master, do you mean that I am not the Old Island Master's biological son?" Elder Duan looked at Zhao Tianji in shock. ♀
Zhao Tianji glanced at Zhao Mingxiao and said, "Big Brother, it's not that I don't want the Zhao Family Island to be called a country, but not now. We are not ready yet. The people on the island have finally lived a peaceful life, and we can't afford to take risks again. We still need time to become stronger. Now, we are no match for Mo Rongzhan."
In the past, the muddle-headed emperor of the Jin Kingdom had given them the opportunity to grow quietly. Now, their lives had just stabilized, and they had just started trading with the outside world. It was not the right time to start a war.
"I think we're ready." Zhao Mingxiao said coldly. "You don't want to declare yourself a nation because you couldn't walk before. Your ambitions were gone. You've been depressed for so many years. What right do you have to stop all of us from living a better life?" Zhao Mingxiao asked loudly.
"If you insist on thinking this way, then I can't do anything about it." "But I'm the Island Master. Whether the Zhao Family Island wants to be a nation or not is not up to you to decide."
Zhao Mingxiao said, "Then ask the eight elders, how many of them are willing to acknowledge you as the Island Master?"
Other than the islanders who did not understand, seven elders stood beside Zhao Ming Xiao, including Elder Duan.
"Our island master has always been alone. From the crowd, an old man slowly walked out, followed by five young men.
"Elder Xing!" Zhao Tianji looked at the old man in pleasant surprise.
Zhao Mingxiao stared at the six people in front of him with an ugly expression. They were the former six elders who were loyal to Zhao Tianji. That was why they were replaced by Zhao Mingxiao.
"Elder Xing, you are no longer the elders of the Zhao Family Island. Don't meddle in these things anymore," Elder Duan said in a low voice.
"Whether we are the elders of the Zhao Family Island or not is not up to you to decide." Elder Xing did not even look at Elder Duan. He walked to Zhao Tianji and bowed respectfully. "Congratulations, Island Master. You've finally regained your prestige."
Zhao Tianji held his hand. "Elder Xing, long time no see."
Zhao Mingxiao finally decided not to say anything more. He took a step back. "Let's go!"
"Big Brother!" Zhao Tianji stopped him. He knew that Zhao Mingxiao had not given up and did not know what he was going to do.
"This Zhao Family Island is no longer yours, Zhao Tianji's Zhao Family Island. Not everyone wants to live such a sullen life," Zhao Mingxiao said coldly and turned to leave.
Zhao Mingxiao left with a few elders. At the same time, more than half of the islanders dispersed. Just as he said, the Zhao Family Island was no longer the Zhao Family Island of the past.
"Island Master, Island Master!" Liang Yin squeezed out of the crowd and came to Zhao Tianji's side. He lowered his voice and said, "Miss Lu is missing!"
Huangfu Chen, who was standing beside Zhao Tianji, frowned. "Isn't she in the house?"
"We've searched the entire yard, but there is no trace of Miss Lu. I've already sent people to search other parts of the island," Liang Yin said.
Huangfu Chen seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly chased in the direction that Zhao Mingxiao had left.
Zhao Tianji said in a low voice, "Continue the search. We must find Lu Yaoyao."
"Island Master, now half of the Zhao Family Island is under Zhao Mingxiao's control. He has hidden all the weapons that were previously forged. If we fight against him, I'm afraid our chances of winning are not high," Elder Xing said to Zhao Tianji.
"Do you know where those weapons are hidden?" Zhao Tianji asked.
Elder Xing shook his head. "No one knows. A few years ago, Zhao Mingxiao colluded with Ye Yisong, a treacherous official of the Jin Kingdom. Ye Yisong's courtesy name is Ye Shi. Now, there is also a person named Ye Shi on our island. We just don't know if he is Ye Yisong."
Zhao Tianji had naturally heard of Ye Yisong. "Isn't Ye Yisong dead?"
"Then why does Zhao Mingxiao value Ye Shi so much?" Elder Xing asked.
"The Zhao Family Island is so big. Send people to find those weapons and provisions." Without weapons and provisions, Zhao Mingxiao would have no support to declare himself a nation even if he wanted to.
Elder Xing nodded and gestured for the people behind him to do as Zhao Tianji said.
Zhao Tianji ordered the surrounding islanders to go back first. At this moment, the Zhao Family Island seemed to be shrouded in an oppressive atmosphere. They did not know what would happen next.
Especially Zhao Mingxiao. He was too ambitious. No one knew what he would do.
When the sun rose in the east, the islanders of the Zhao Family Island began a day of ordinary and stable life. Many people still didn't know what happened last night, and they didn't know what kind of choice their Zhao Family Island was facing.
Huang Fuchen personally searched the island for a night. He did not even let go of a corner, but there was still no sign of Ye Zhen.
On this day, Zhao Mingxiao also announced that the Zhao Family Island would declare itself a nation. Many people cheered when they heard the news. They were tired of living on this small island. They wanted a bigger world.
The Zhao Family Island was divided into two. Zhao Mingxiao and Zhao Tianji stood opposite each other.
"Island Master, what should we do now?" Elder Xing asked Zhao Tianji. No one would have thought that Zhao Mingxiao had done so many things in secret over the years.
Zhao Tianji took a deep breath. "Catch him before the news of him declaring himself a nation gets out. If he does, then kill him."
