Chapter 273 - This Young Master Is Happy!
“Marshal, my master invites you.” The night before Huo Zhengquan left the capital, soone personally paid him an invitation.
“Your master is…?”
“You will know once the marshal is there.” The person had been keeping his head down. If one looked closely, they would be able to see that his legs were still shaking. He was obviously scared.
Huo Zhengquan threw the invitation back into his arms, “Then go back and tell your master that this marshal is very busy tonight, not free!”
The person seed to have expected him to say this, and added: “Master said that there is sothing extrely important to tell you, and that it concerns the safety of Huo Family.”
Huo Zhengquan lifted his head to glance at him, got up and changed his clothes before following him out. He wanted to see who it was that was deliberately mystifying.
Huo Zhengquan did not ride a horse, but sat on a palanquin. This was also requested by the other party, and was said to be to deceive people.
The sedan chair zigzagged its way through the streets and alleys before finally entering a noisy alley. The youth who was leading the way knocked on a door, and the sedan was carried in.
After landing on the palanquin, Huo Zhengquan walked out to find that the servants had all left, and the room was lit up with a faint light.
He stood still, waiting for the other party to co out and greet him.
Not long after, a clear voice ca from the room, “Why didn't the marshal co in?”
Huo Zhengquan recognized the voice, frowned, and then pushed open the door and walked in.
This was a very simple and crude courtyard, built in order to create trouble. The crying sounds of the children in the neighboring houses could still be heard clearly. He never expected that the other party would find such a place to et up with them.
“Why did the First Prince call this marshal here?”
Teng Yi was dressed in a green dress with long hair that was unbound and not tied up. He looked a little different than usual.
He sat by the side of the tea table and pointed to the seat across from him. “Of course it's important. Marshal, please take a seat. Co and try the new tea that is offered this year.”
“There's no need to drink tea, there's a lot of these things in the residence.”
The First Prince's movents paused for a mont, and then he started laughing unnaturally, “That's right, I had forgotten. The first thing that cos to my mind is Third Brother, and the second is the Huo Family.”
Huo Zhengquan said lightly: “The Emperor's kindness is great.”
The First Prince chuckled softly, “Whether it is because of the Emperor's kindness or not, Marshal has already experienced it deeply recently.”
Huo Zhengquan did not want to waste any more words with him, and reminded him: “This commander still has important matters on him, if Your Highness does not have any more urgent matters, please forgive
for not accompanying you!”
The First Prince poured himself a cup of hot tea and held it up to sniff at it. “Sit down. I'm just taking up a bit of your ti.”
Huo Zhengquan frowned, and sat opposite of him.
“Marshal, you must pay attention to your safety, especially to the people around you. The more trusting you are, the easier it is for you to betray your master.”
Huo Zhengquan didn't say anything, but his heart had filtered through his confidant that was about to be taken away this ti.
“Marshal, don't believe . Do you really think that Royal Father would be so kind as to give you thirty thousand soldiers for the conduct of the Royal Father recently?”
“This marshal was ordered to exterminate bandits.” Even if he knew the Emperor's wariness and killing intent towards him, he still wouldn't tell this to a prince.
“I am not going to beat around the bush. This ti, Royal Father is determined to keep your life at sea, and the navy you are working with will not listen to your orders. Once we are at sea, they will attack you together with Pirate from the front and back, putting you to death.”
“How does Your Highness know this so clearly?” Huo Zhengquan had also discussed with others about the possibility of the Emperor using a trick, so it was natural that he would think of it.
“You don't need to worry about that. You just need to be careful and avoid going out to sea yourself. On land, they won't dare to do anything to you.” The First Prince's gaze stopped on Huo Zhengquan's face for a mont, and the hand holding the teacup grew tighter and tighter.
He had never forgotten this person ever since he was a teenager. Unfortunately, regardless of gender, identity, or position, the two of them were completely different. Other than using unusual thods, it was impossible for him to obtain this person.
He had originally wanted to cooperate with the Royal Father and make the Huo Family a cri. After he finds trouble, he would then think of a way to save the person. As long as he becos a commoner, why wouldn't he dare?
How would he know that the Royal Father was going to bring people to the coast to kill bandits and even bury them with the intention to kill them?
Huo Zhengquan ignored his overly passionate gaze, and didn't want to study his emotions. He stood up and said his thanks, “Thank you for the First Prince's kind intentions, this marshal will naturally be careful.”
Watching him leave with large strides, the First Prince sighed and drank the cold tea in his cup until his trusted aide walked in and asked worriedly, “Your Highness, you've already told him such a secret. What if he turns around and deals with the Emperor?”
“Isn't that better? The more chaotic the situation, the better! “
Early morning of the second day, Huo Family began to bustle the next day. Huo Zhengquan and Huo Yiming were about to go to battle, although they did not bring much with them, there were a lot of people.
Having made a bad guess, the Huo Family could not wait to bring along the entire set of Huo Family Army, let's see what else they can do!
The Emperor sent many ministers to send them off, and even the Third Prince, the future son-in-law of the Emperor was sent out. There were also many citizens gathered at the city gate watching the fun, and when they knew that the Marshal Huo was going to exterminate the bandits, they were all so excited that their faces and ears turned red.
“Like I said, how could a god-like marshal betray his country?”
“That's right. If the Marshal had truly traversed the kingdom, how could the Emperor have sent him to exterminate the bandits?”
“I heard that they're going to eliminate the Pirate. This ti, the people on the coast are lucky.”
“Amitabha, I heard that those Pirate were the most severe at this ti of year. The Imperial Court had sent people to clean up the ss a few tis.”
“When Marshal Huo makes his move this ti, he will definitely kill them all!”
The crowd's discussion did not affect the mood of the people from Huo Family. Huo Zhengquan was dressed in armor and holding onto a long spear.
Behind him, Huo Yiming and a thousand elite soldiers also quickly followed. However, what surprised the citizens was that behind the elite soldiers, there was a carriage and a group of soldiers that did not look like soldiers.
Soone saw the person in the carriage raise the curtain of the carriage to speak to Third Prince and was imdiately stunned, “That is the Seventh Young Master Huo, he wants to go as well?”
Seventh Young Master's reputation was mixed, there was no clear explanation for why the last ti he spread the news about him stealing the stolen money, and just left it at that, no one knew whether it was true or false, many people thought, with Third Prince and Marshal Huo protecting him, even if it was true, nothing could happen to him.
However, there were still many citizens who were jumping in joy. With the Seventh Young Master, there should be no place for those Pirate s to hide.
After the group walked for more than five kiloters, Teng Yu finally stopped following them. Yin Xu was still imrsed in his thoughts of leaving, when he heard Huo Yiming's helpless voice sound out, “Seventh Brother, Father called you.”
Yin Xu didn't need to think to know that it was impossible to have any good words to say at this ti. He yawned and said: “Go and tell him that he is sleeping, and will speak to him when he is fully awake.”
Huo Yiming had always known that this little brother was hard to deal with, and after seeing his actions today, he was even more certain of this.
“It's better if you go. I don't think father's expression is too good.”
Yin Xu angrily opened the window, pointed at his own face and asked: “Then, look at my face, is it okay?”
Huo Yiming was shocked, “You … How to… and it beca like this? “
Yin Xu scoffed coldly. After being tornted to death by Teng Yu two days in a row, it would be weird if he had a good expression. He also knew that following Huo Zhengquan was not easy as he could not ride a horse today.
After finally persuading Huo Yiming to leave, Yin Xu laid in the comfortable carriage to recuperate. It was just that before he was fast asleep, he heard soone boarding his carriage.
He narrowed his eyes and looked over, then turned over as he muttered, “I told you I was going to sleep.”
“What are you doing here?” “Nonsense!” Huo Zhengquan lifted him up, and the mont he opened his mouth, he lectured: “Do you know the dangers of this trip? How could the Third Prince allow you to follow us? “
Yin Xu pushed his hand away and laid back down, flopping around like a fish, not moving at all. “Who said I'm following you, walking on half a road facing the sky, and the road isn't yours! Along the way! Do you understand along the way? “
“Your highness has already told
your plan, but I don't agree with it. Do you think everyone in the martial arts world is a fool?” Even if you were to beco the Alliance Master, it would be impossible to make them listen to you obediently, not to ntion that these people have good martial arts skills, but if they do not obey your orders, it will only get them in the way! “
Teng Yu had said those words to him before, but since he was going to the poor mountain anyway, why not give it a try?
“Their martial arts aren't bad, but they don't have any concept of fighting skills. If you ask them to help and if they cause trouble while we're at it, wouldn't it be even more troubleso?”
Yin Xu stretched out a finger with closed eyes and said: “Alright, I don't intend to have them follow you, and listen to your arrangents, so you can be at ease and be your commander.”
Huo Zhengquan didn't know what Yun Che was thinking, but after getting involved with the matter regarding his son, he knew that it would eventually beco very strange. If it wasn't for him repeatedly confirming his identity, Huo Zhengquan really didn't think that he would be able to give birth to such a son.
“Now that the situation is tense in the imperial governnt, it is fortunate that you still have the mood to ask about the affairs of the martial arts world. Martial Union Master is just a na, why fight over it?”
“I'm willing!” Yin Xu opened his eyes and shot a glance at him, turning his body around and facing Huo Zhengquan with his butt, and even waved his hand, signalling him to scram.
Huo Zhengquan had no choice but to remind him to be careful before getting off the carriage.
