Peerless Tang Sect: But Huo Yuhao has a simulator

Chapter 174 The Five Princesses

They arrived at the private residence of the fifth princess.

Huo Yuhao looked at the surrounding decorations - this can often reveal a person's character from the side.

The decoration of the mansion is still gorgeous, but compared to the decorations of the nouveau riche who want to show off their wealth, the fifth princess shows a restrained wealth - the murals of dragons and phoenixes on the surrounding walls are not uncommon, and At first glance, the colors used seemed to be the most common pigments, but after Huo Yuhao's mental scanning, it was revealed that those pigments were ground from the finest materials.

And judging from the slightly relaxed look on the maid's face, the Fifth Princess is probably not the kind of person who cares about dignity - no, she should be someone who doesn't care about acquaintances and has clear rewards and punishments. If she wants to be in charge of the country, this kind of person An order of superiority and inferiority must be established.

I silently felt the soul power level of the maid in front of me - it was probably around level [-]. If she was among the main battle soul masters, she would indeed be very weak, but if such a person was just a maid, it would be really terrifying.

[No matter what, let’s go and have a look first. 】Huo Yuhao thought, and took the Snow Emperor to follow the maid to the main room to meet Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess.

[It’s just that when he left like this, he must have been seen by the third prince’s people. In this case, he could be regarded as standing in line here. After all, it may be a bit difficult to win over a duke at this moment. 】 Huo Yuhao thought that when it comes to politics, sometimes as long as you are roughly certain in your heart, that’s enough.

As the two of them moved forward, he also saw the fifth princess - dressed in regular clothes, she could still outline a perfect figure. According to Huo Yuhao's aesthetics, she was also a first-class beauty.

"Duke Huo Yuhao of Lingbing, please see Your Highness the Fifth Princess." He saluted, but the Snow Emperor did not do so - it would be good for a noble titled Douluo not to let the royal family come to salute.

"Your Majesty, the Duke is speaking harshly," she said softly, "Please excuse me. I just hope to see the proud man who can quell the disaster of the soul beast."

"Don't take it seriously. It's all the result of the hard work of all the soul masters and the common people." He said. It was still unclear about the character of the fifth princess, so it would be best to practice Tai Chi in this way.

"Without the Duke's order, the entire east coast would have been in ruins. The Duke's role can be said to be decisive."

Huo Yuhao was speechless. He waited for the Fifth Princess to continue speaking.

"I wonder how your lord, the Duke, looks at the current situation in the empire?" she suddenly asked.

Huo Yuhao sighed secretly in his heart. Will he still be swept in?That's not right. To be precise, basically all the dukes will be involved, because the dukes are already the most powerful people outside the court, and their decisions will be an important factor in choosing the throne.

The current fifth princess is not as calm as she imagined. It must be that the pressure from the third prince is too great, and there is not much time for the third-level meeting, so she is very impatient and wants to win her over as soon as possible. .

"The king is wise, the court is clear, and the people live in peace." He lied.

"Why does the Duke use such false lies to cover up the darkness under the prosperity?" She sighed, "I just want to hear what the Duke really thinks."

"The king is wise, and the princes and princesses are mature and stable. If there are no two minds, the world can prosper." He said, anyway, as long as they don't mess around, and the princes and princesses don't fight among themselves, there is indeed potential.But Huo Yuhao said it was difficult to say whether this situation was possible.

"Hey, the Duke must have met his retainer Xu Yun. I wonder if he is in good condition?" the fifth princess asked.

"Mr. Xu Yun was seriously injured, but after being treated by the best healing soul master in the Lingbing Duchy, his body has recovered well and there is no serious problem." Huo Yuhao replied.

"Then he must have escaped privately, and there must be news to tell. I wonder if Duke Lingbing can tell me what he wants to convey." The fifth princess asked.

"Protect your life." Huo Yuhao didn't hide anything. Anyway, if the third prince was really such a vicious person, it would be hard to tell.

"My life? It seems that most people don't think much of me." The fifth princess said. She looked a little tired. She didn't know if it was caused by political pressure.

"Then Duke, do you have any idea of ​​​​taking sides?" Since the question was asked for this reason, the fifth princess did not want to talk to Huo Yuhao. She could see it. Huo Yuhao, if you say polite words to him, he He will only say polite words. You have to tell him the truth, and he will tell the truth.

"There is no consideration. The current Duchy of Lingbing is in dire straits. Rather than profiting from political struggles and restoring production and life there, the most important thing is. rashly participating in political struggles will only take away what has been hard-won. The opportunity for peace and development has been buried in vain." Huo Yuhao said that this was his truest thought and he did not even want to participate in the meeting.It's just that he is a newcomer and came here to understand the politics of the Dou Ling Empire.

Frankly speaking, with the talents of the current duchy, it is possible to achieve the so-called nine mines from one mine, but that would be too strenuous, so Huo Yuhao seeks a larger territory and more talents.But now is not the time to fight for power.

"Is this so?" The fifth princess was a little disappointed. After all, although the Duke of Lingbing's economy and other conditions can be said to be the worst in the entire place, he is indeed the most capable in the entire duchy. There are two titled Douluo alone. position, the actual combat strength is three. Such strength is worthy of a small fiefdom anywhere.

"But." Huo Yuhao was about to say something when suddenly he stretched out his right hand, released the Ice Emperor's martial spirit, and directly grabbed an arrow that cut through the air - it was still shining with a bright green light. ,

Before the fifth princess could react, the next moment, two figures suddenly flew in from outside the palace - it was the two maids who were thrown in directly.

The next second, several masked men with ring-headed knives rushed in and attacked the fifth princess.

"Your Highness, please step back." Huo Yuhao said, and the moment he finished speaking, the Snow Emperor waved his hand, and several people in front of him turned into ice sculptures and were trapped in place.

The next second, with the sound of gold and iron intertwining, Huo Yuhao discovered that a person was escaping from the shadow, and a long sword slashed on the armor possessed by the five emperors' martial arts spirits - unscathed, not even able to stay. Make a mark.

"There's something wrong with this assassin." Huo Yuhao and Snow Emperor exchanged glances, and both could tell that something was wrong.
