Chapter 120
Qin Zhao looked at the back of Huo Chengjin, recalling what Wei Chen had said before: Breaking Army is the star of generals and will be the most loyal and capable subordinate of the Purple Forbidden Enclosure Star!
The Big Dipper has an innate connection with the Purple Forbidden Enclosure Star.
Without recognizing each other, one can find the seven stars by discerning the character traits of the descendants of the seven families.
Those from the Huo clan are likely to be the Breaking Army Star, and Huo Chengjin is undoubtedly the one with the highest probability.
He is a renowned general at the peak of his career, which aligns with the Breaking Army Star's attributes of a military general.
To confirm this, I just need to probe his loyalty to the Emperor Star a little more.
This is one of the reasons why Qin Zhao humiliated him this ti.
Although this approach is not very graceful, it doesn't matter since it's Huo Chengjin.
Ordinary people would have been furious and ashad facing such humiliation, yet Huo Chengjin's reaction was so calm.
This makes Qin Zhao almost certain that he is the Breaking Army Star.
502 said: "Mistress, he just said he likes you more and more, which seems irrelevant to loyalty."
Qin Zhao: "It feels a bit...disgusting. I suddenly want to stab him to death."
502 said in horror: "Don't be impulsive, Mistress. The little world will collapse if he dies!"
A strange idea ca to Qin Zhao's mind: "What if Huo Chengjin misunderstood loyalty as liking? As a feudal man, he simply doesn't have the concept of being loyal to a woman. That's why he behaves this way."
502: "Mistress's guess is very likely. I just analyzed his liking for you, and found no sexual desire in it."
Qin Zhao: "That's great. I won't mind crippling him if he dares to have any indecent thoughts about ."
502: "Fired up!"
Qin Zhao: "But finding soone to replace him won't be easy."
Wei Chen also ntioned another thing - the Big Dipper stars are not fixed.
If they lose the attributes represented by each star, the Big Dipper identities will transfer to another more qualified person.
Not only can humiliating Huo Chengjin test his loyalty, it may also destroy his loyalty and remove his Breaking Army Star identity.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhao looked at Huo Jun.
I hope she won't disappoint
and beco the one to replace Huo Chengjin!
When everyone was ready, Qin Zhao said: "Practice on your own, I will watch from the side."
Others: What about the promised guidance?
Qin Zhao had no intention of wasting ti with them.
She turned her attention to Huo Jun.
But Huo Jun just stood by and watched, without any intention of participating.
Qin Zhao went to Huo Jun's side and asked: "Why don't you practice?"
Huo Jun said: "Father asked
to go to the hunting ground just to accompany him. I won't actually hunt, so there is no need to practice riding and shooting."
Although Qin Zhao felt a little disappointed that she didn't want to practice, she couldn't force her either.
Qin Yu ca to Qin Zhao and asked: "Ninth sister, can you teach ? My aim is not good and I always miss the target."
Qin Zhao: "Give
the bow. I'll demonstrate for you once."
Qin Yu handed the bow to Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao took it, nocked an arrow, drew the bow, and shot using standard posture.
Qin Yu clapped excitedly and said: "Bullseye again! Ninth sister your skill is so good!"
But when it was her turn, she still missed.
Qin Yu was one of the few people in the imperial family who didn't harbor ill will towards Princess Zhaoyang, so Qin Zhao was more patient with her.
She taught Qin Yu step-by-step, hand-in-hand, on how to improve her accuracy.
Her double standard behavior successfully attracted resentful glares from the other noble ladies, especially Qin Ling.
Behind them, Qin Zhao keenly sensed a vicious stare!
When her eyes t Cao Yan's, he imdiately lowered his head, pretending nothing had happened.
Qin Zhao then ignored them.
Once Qin Yu's aim improved, Qin Zhao said: "Practice according to the thods I taught you."
"I can finally hit the target now!"
Qin Yu was all smiles, extrely excited.
"Fifth sister has a natural talent for archery and made quick progress."
"Thank you, ninth sister!"
Qin Zhao looked at Cong Han and said, "Go get a stool."
"Here you go."
Cong Han brought over a stool. Qin Zhao sat down to rest.
The horse manure sll here was quite pungent.
Qin Zhao covered her nose with her sleeve, thinking she would leave after a while longer.
But then she suddenly heard a sharp sound cutting through the air!
Cong Han yelled in panic, "Your Highness, be careful!"
Qin Zhao quickly turned to look. A tall figure suddenly blocked her front!
With a flip of her hand, Huo Jun caught the arrow that ca from nowhere!
Cong Han rushed over and grabbed Huo Jun's hand. "Lady Huo, you..."
Qin Zhao got up to check and saw Huo Jun's palm bleeding!
She tore off a piece of her own clothing and said, "Let
bandage it for you."
Cong Han let go of Huo Jun's hand to allow Qin Zhao to tend to her wound.
Once Qin Zhao finished dressing it, Cao Yan walked over and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I slipped just now. Are you alright?"
His face didn't show an ounce of regret.
Qin Zhao chuckled twice before suddenly kicking Cao Yan and sending him flying!
He slid across the ground, crushing at least four piles of horse manure along the way!
Everyone present witnessed the whole thing but didn't dare criticize Qin Zhao's behavior.
Seeing her brother covered in manure, Cao Keyao was both angry and anxious. She said, "Princess Zhaoyang, why did you kick my brother when he already said it was not intentional?"
Qin Zhao replied: "I didn't do it intentionally either."
Cao Keyao's chest heaved up and down. "Everyone saw you do it deliberately!"
Qin Zhao walked to Cao Yan and slowly stepped on his hand, gradually adding pressure.
Cao Yan scread in pain. Qin Zhao said, "I did that deliberately."
Probably frightened by Cao Yan's horrifying screams, Cao Keyao didn't dare say another word.
She was scared that Qin Zhao would switch target to her.
Qin Zhao kept increasing the force until Cao Yan's hand was crushed, causing multiple fractures!
Cao Yan fainted from the pain, with half his face still sunk in the manure.
Qin Zhao calmly said, "This way, your hand won't slip again."
She added softly: "Thank you for letting
witness Huo Jun's capabilities."
Being able to catch an arrow barehanded is no trivial feat!
This allowed her to feel at ease about removing Huo Chengjin from the Breaking Army Star identity.
Returning to Huo Jun's side, she saw Huo Jun had a serene expression, barely affected by what had transpired.
Such composure demonstrated the deanor of a true master!
The more Qin Zhao looked at her, the more she liked her. She wished she could hug and kiss Huo Jun!
Sensing Qin Zhao's ardent gaze, Huo Jun asked: "Your Highness, do you have sothing to tell ?"
Qin Zhao blurted out: "Do you want to follow ?"
Others: "..."
Cong Han: "..."
Huo Chengjin, who had just arrived: "..."
Everyone was only shocked for a mont before they recalled Qin Zhao winning a woman at the Longevity Festival!
Their expressions slowly turned suggestive.
Moreover, Huo Jun was Huo Chengjin's sister, and Huo Chengjin was the future son-in-law!
With these few gathered together, the drama had yet to start but everyone was already imagining a theatrical spectacle of epic proportions!
Huo Jun's cheeks swiftly flushed red as she said, "Your Highness, I have to ask my parents first about marriage matters."
The crowd leaned back in surprise, realizing she was actually considering marrying Princess Zhaoyang!
