Traveling through Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

Chapter 424: The White Tiger Duke who calls a horse a zebra?
"Brother Yuhao - Junior Brother, why are you sighing?"

Dai Yueheng thought that his words had finally moved Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao tilted his head and asked questioningly: "Do you really want to listen?"

At this time, Dai Yueheng sensed something was wrong from Huo Yuhao's tone, but it was too late to stop it.

“Then I will explain it briefly.” Huo Yuhao said calmly.

"After listening to your words, I sigh for the Xingluo Empire. I sigh that the situation in the Xingluo Empire has become so unstable, with external enemies surrounding it and undercurrents surging inside. I sigh that the White Tiger Family has such powerful power that they can actually call a horse a zebra."

"Oh, maybe you don't know the story of calling a deer a horse, so let me briefly tell you about it."

"It is said that in ancient times there was a powerful official named Zhao Gao. As the most powerful official in the empire, he was not satisfied and planned to usurp the throne and become the emperor himself. He was worried that his officials would not obey him, so he thought of a trick and did an experiment first."

"What experiment? Zhao Gao brought a deer to the emperor, saying it was a thousand-mile horse and he presented it to the emperor specially."

"He also asked his ministers to identify whether it was a deer or a horse. Those who obeyed Zhao Gao said it was a horse, while those who disobeyed him said it was a deer. In the end, Zhao Gao used this method to kill the ministers who disobeyed him. 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 similar is this move to Duke White Tiger hiding his identity and joining the army? The White Tiger spirit has existed in the Xing Luo Empire for tens of thousands of years, and everyone knows its spirit and appearance. But why has no one recognized Duke White Tiger after he joined the army for so long? I'm afraid that those who were recognized were killed, right? Those who pretended not to know each other became direct descendants of the Dai family."

"Besides, the situation on the continent has been relatively peaceful in recent years. What kind of war could allow a small soldier to be promoted to the commander of a legion that controls half of the empire's most elite troops? It turns out to be a war for power."

"Presumably, in the end, Emperor Xingluo had to recognize Dai Hao's identity and hand over the Western Legion to Dai Hao, right? Because this is already a fact, it would be better to praise him a little more and say that he is the pillar of the empire, so that when he tries to usurp the throne, he will not have a good reputation."

"What a brilliant move." Huo Yuhao seemed to be praising, yet also mocking.

Dai Yueheng's face turned pale, because even he felt that what Huo Yuhao said made sense. As for whether it was the truth or not, he didn't know, but the only thing that was certain was that his father Dai Hao concealed his identity and joined the army, and he really treated others as blind.

Could it be that what he said really exposed the family's long-term plan?

The other students also reacted and looked at Dai Yueheng with surprise and suspicion, as if the truth was really as Huo Yuhao said. Could it be that the Star Luo Empire was going to change?

Huo Yuhao didn’t know whether what he said was true or not, 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 wary of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. He even had some guesses about the origins of the unknown people who assassinated Dai Huabin.

An idea of ​​driving away the wolf and devouring the tiger arose in his mind.

And all the credit for this should be attributed to Dai Yueheng's proud introduction. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have known that the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had such power in the Xingluo Empire.

The first person to react was Durex, who had been fighting with Dai Hao. He had a sullen face and murderous intent in his eyes, and said sternly:

"My classmate, even if you are a disciple of Shrek, 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 sneaked into 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 academy for a joint trial. Your academy should not mind, right?"

Dai Yueheng had a strange look on his face and tried to signal Mr. Du with his eyes frantically, but Durex didn't understand what he meant.

He was very anxious now. Not to mention that Huo Yuhao was the person his father had ordered him to win over, besides, they were not strong enough to defeat him.

Didn’t my father tell Mr. Du about Huo Yuhao?

But then again, he didn't expect that just because he boasted about his father's glorious history, such a big pot would fall from the sky.

When they heard that someone was going to capture Huo Yuhao and put him on trial, those who were familiar with Huo Yuhao were not panicked at all and even started to watch the show.

Ma Xiaotao had no intention of helping. Her phoenix eyes stared at Dai Yueheng and Du Lao with interest, as if she was looking at a clown. She knew Huo Yuhao's strength and his position in the academy, and someone actually wanted to join the academy to try Huo Yuhao. Would the White Tiger Duke dare to do so?

Huo Yuhao didn’t care about the reactions of the crowd. Instead, he 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 the soldiers of the Western Legion only know the Duke of White Tiger and not 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, swearing allegiance to him means swearing allegiance to the empire."

"All soldiers, listen up and capture him!" Durex gave the order.

"Mr. Du, don't do that!" Dai Yueheng hurriedly stopped him.

A loud shout came from the distance, "Enough!"

Everyone looked and saw the Duke of White Tiger with golden hair walking towards them with a stern face. However, when he saw Huo Yuhao, his expression immediately softened and he looked excited. He walked quickly and passed by Dai Yueheng as if he didn't see him.

Huo Yuhao frowned and felt a sense of disgust in his heart. Seeing that Dai Hao was about to speak, Huo Yuhao took the initiative.

His eyes glowed with golden light, and his invisible mental power instantly knocked down Durex and the soldiers around him. With a push of his hands, he placed them in front of Dai Hao.

"Duke White Tiger, you've arrived just in time. We were just talking about you. Come and tell them whether you have any intention of usurping the throne or not."

"Don't lie, I can detect whether you are lying or not. Once you lie, these brothers who have followed you through thick and thin will be gone. As long as you tell the truth, no matter what the answer is, they will be safe."

Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Hao with a smile. He turned on the mental detection sharing and selectively shared Dai Hao's thoughts with the soldiers who surrounded him.

Dai Hao was unaware of this. He frowned and looked at Huo Yuhao, sighing softly, "Yuhao, our father—"

"Ah——" Dai Hao was interrupted by Durex's scream before he could finish his words. When he looked again, he had lost his life.

“For every word of nonsense 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 do not have the intention to usurp power."

Everyone present knew what Dai Hao was thinking at the moment through Huo Yuhao’s metal sharing. They looked at Dai Hao in disbelief.

“You’re lying.” Huo Yuhao smiled and chopped a soldier on the back of his neck with his hand. In an instant, the man lost his life.

This soldier is the White Tiger's personal guard and a servant of the Dai family. He is loyal to the Dai family. They are not innocent and he has no mercy on them.

"Ask again, don't lie."

Dai Hao said in a deep voice: "You just want me to admit that I have the intention to usurp the throne? For the lives of the soldiers, I admit it, so what? You let them go!"

Huo Yuhao shook his head, pulled over another White Tiger Guard, and sent him away.

"You lied again. You clearly didn't care about 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 people, it 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 view him?
