Objectively speaking, thinking of seeking the former City Lord's brother so long after the coup is truly underestimating the intelligence level of the coup's side—how could you overthrow the current leader yet still leave the leader's brother to overwork in the office?
However, upon learning that Zhao Jincheng had truly been taken away and imprisoned by the coup plotters, Wang Jiu still felt immense regret. Because this meant they could only settle for the second-best option: seeking Zhao Hongxue. The gap between the optimal solution and the second-best is self-evident.
Speaking of the name Zhao Hongxue, in fact, it is much more well-known than Zhao Jincheng. Zhao Jincheng is merely the eldest son of Golden Jade City, having gained a bit of fame due to Zhao Chenlu's favoritism. Zhao Hongxue, on the other hand, was a famous figure in Xiangzhou thirty years ago—the former City Lord of Golden Jade City.
He was also Zhao Chenlu's biological father.
