Chapter 424 The White Tiger Duke Who Calls a Horse a Zebra?
"Brother Yuhao—junior, why are you sighing?"
Dai Yueheng thought that his words finally moved Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao tilted his head and asked, "Do you really want to listen?"
At this time, Dai Yueheng sensed something was wrong from Huo Yuhao's tone, but he was too late to stop it.
"Then let me tell you briefly." Huo Yuhao said calmly.
"After listening to what you said, I sighed for the Star Luo Empire. I lamented that the situation in the Star Luo Empire was already so unstable. It was surrounded by external enemies, but internal undercurrents were surging. I lamented that the White Tiger Family had such powerful energy. , can actually turn a deer into a horse.”
"Oh, maybe you don't know the story of calling a deer a horse, so I'll tell you a brief story."
"It is said that in ancient times, there was a powerful minister named Zhao Gao. As the most powerful minister in the empire, he was not satisfied, but planned to usurp the throne and become the emperor himself. He was also worried that his ministers would not obey, so he thought of a trick and conducted an experiment first. "
"What kind of experiment? Zhao Gao brought a deer to the emperor and said it was a thousand-mile horse. He specially dedicated it to the emperor."
"He also asked the ministers below to identify one by one whether it was a deer or a horse. The ministers obeyed Zhao Gao and said it was a horse, while those who disobeyed said it was a deer. In the end, Zhao Gao used this method. The ministers who disobeyed him were killed, and in the end, even the emperor had to admit that the deer was a horse. "
Having said this, Huo Yuhao stared at Dai Yueheng with a half-smile, and continued:
"How is the Duke of White Tiger hiding his identity and joining the army similar to this move? The martial spirit of White Tiger has existed in the Star Luo Empire for tens of thousands of years. No one knows the shape of its martial spirit, but why has Duke White Tiger not joined the army for so long? Whoever recognizes him will be killed, right? Those who pretend not to know him will become direct descendants of the Dai family."
"Moreover, the situation on the mainland has been relatively peaceful in recent years. What kind of war can allow a small soldier to become the commander of a regiment that controls half of the most elite troops in the empire? It turns out to be a war of power."
"Presumably, Emperor Xingluo had to recognize Dai Hao's identity in the end, and had to hand over the Western Legion to Dai Hao, right? Because this is already a fact, why not praise him more, saying that he is the pillar of the empire, and let him try When you usurp the throne, you cannot lose a good reputation."
"What a wonderful method." Huo Yuhao seemed to admire, but also seemed to be sarcastic.
Dai Yueheng turned pale, because even he felt that what Huo Yuhao said made sense. As for whether the truth was true, he didn't know, but the only thing that was certain was that his father Dai Hao hid his identity and joined the army, and he did treat others as blind.
Could it be that what he said really exposed the family's plan that has been going on for many years?
Other students also reacted and looked at Dai Yueheng with surprise. It seemed that the truth was really as Huo Yuhao said. Could it be that the Star Luo Empire was about to change?
Huo Yuhao didn't know if what he said was true, but he knew that if a country allowed one family to control almost all the military power, then that country would definitely be unstable.
He was certain that the Xu family was also very afraid of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and he even had some guesses about the origins of the unknown group of people who assassinated Dai Huabin.
In his mind, an idea came up to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger.
And all the credit for this should be attributed to Dai Yueheng's rather proud introduction. If it weren't for him, he would not have known that the White Tiger Duke's Palace was so powerful in the Star Luo Empire.
The first person to react was Durex, who had been following Dai Hao in the battle. He had a stern face and a murderous look in his eyes, and said sternly:
"Classmate, even if you are Shrek's disciple, you cannot sow discord between the Marshal and the Empire! I have reason to suspect that you are a spy from another country who has infiltrated Shrek Academy."
He turned to look at Dai Yueheng and asked: "I will arrest him today and hand him over to the marshal and your college for joint trial. Your college shouldn't mind, right?"
Dai Yueheng had a strange look on his face, and his eyes were crazy to signal to Mr. Du, but Durex didn't know what he meant.
He was in a hurry now. Not to mention that Huo Yuhao was the person his father had ordered to die and had to win over him. Besides, they were not strong enough to defeat each other.
Didn't his father tell Mr. Du about Huo Yuhao?
But yes, he didn't expect that just because he was bragging about his father's glorious history, such a big pot would fall from the sky.
Hearing that someone wanted to arrest Huo Yuhao and put him on trial, those who were familiar with Huo Yuhao not only did not panic, but even watched the show.
Ma Xiaotao had no intention of helping at all, and stared at Dai Yueheng and Mr. Du with a pair of phoenix eyes, as if looking at a clown.
She knew Huo Yuhao's strength and status in the academy, but someone actually wanted to unite the academy to try Huo Yuhao, and asked Duke White Tiger if he dared?
Huo Yuhao didn't care about everyone's reaction, but looked at Durex with a half-smile, and asked: "Am I wrong? Don't you only know Dai Hao and not the Emperor Xu Jiawei? Don't those soldiers of the Western Legion only know the White Tiger? Duke, don’t you know the Xu family of the imperial family?”
Durex said calmly: "We are soldiers of the empire and soldiers under the marshal. As the commander-in-chief of the empire, loyalty to the marshal is loyalty to the empire."
"Soldiers, listen to the order and take it down for me!" Durex ordered.
"Mr. Du, don't want it!" Dai Yueheng stopped him hastily.
There was also a loud shout in the distance, "That's enough!"
Everyone looked around and saw Duke White Tiger with blond hair walking towards him with a cold face. However, when he saw Huo Yuhao, his expression immediately softened and he showed excitement. He walked quickly and passed by Dai Yueheng, as if Didn't see him in general.
Huo Yuhao frowned, feeling disgusted. Seeing Dai Hao about to speak, Huo Yuhao took the initiative.
His eyes glowed with golden light, and his invisible spiritual power instantly knocked down Durex and the soldiers around him. With a flick of his hands, he blocked them in front of Dai Hao.
"Duke Baihu came at the right time. We were just talking about you. Tell them whether you have the intention to usurp the throne?"
"Don't lie. I can detect whether you are lying or not. Once you lie, these brothers who have followed you through life and death will be gone. As long as you tell the truth, no matter what the answer is, they will be safe."
Huo Yuhao smiled at Dai Hao. He turned on the spiritual detection sharing and selectively shared Dai Hao's thoughts with the soldiers who surrounded him.
Dai Hao didn't know about it. He frowned and looked at Huo Yuhao, sighing faintly, "Yuhao, our father-"
"Ah-" Dai Hao was interrupted by Durex's scream before he finished speaking. When he looked again, he had lost his life.
"For every word you say, I will kill one person." Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
Dai Hao took a deep breath, looked at Huo Yuhao, and said in a deep voice: "I, Dai Hao, absolutely have no intention of usurping the throne."
Everyone present knew what Dai Hao was thinking at this moment through Huo Yuhao's metal sharing, and they looked at Dai Hao in disbelief.
"You lied." Huo Yuhao smiled and chopped a soldier's neck with a knife. In an instant, the man lost his life.
This soldier was a White Tiger guard, a servant of the Dai family, and was loyal to the Dai family. They were not innocent people, and he had no mercy on them.
"Ask again, don't lie."
Dai Hao said in a deep voice: "Don't you just want me to admit that I have the intention of usurping the throne? For the lives of all the soldiers, I admit it, so what? Let them go!"
Huo Yuhao shook his head, pulled another White Tiger guard over, and sent him away.
"You lied again. You clearly didn't do this for the lives of the soldiers."
Dai Hao was silent, staring at Huo Yuhao. He knew that Huo Yuhao was trying to shake his prestige in the army, but he had no way to do anything. He still wanted to restore his relationship with Shrek and Huo Yuhao.
But what puzzled him was that according to his speculation, after Huo Yuhao killed the two men, he should have caused a mutiny among the other soldiers. Why did the soldiers around him not move, but instead looked at him strangely?
In addition, to his regret, he lost the opportunity to announce that he and Huo Yuhao were father and son.
If he admitted that Huo Yuhao was his child at this time, how would those soldiers look at him?
