Chapter 55 We are in the same boat!

Xu Jiawei looked at the head that had just been cut off, his eyes full of disbelief. Even when Huo Yuhao approached him with the head in his hand, Xu Jiawei subconsciously dodged.

Xu Jiawei looked at Huo Yuhao in astonishment, unable to defend himself.

"Dai Huabin's death has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything about it."

No matter how helpless Xu Jiawei was, he knew how foolish it was to kill the child of the corps commander who was in command of the front line in the rear base camp.

Dai Huabin was indeed killed by Huo Yuhao, but the royal family was also involved.

But this matter is a matter of life and death. Even the slightest suspicion will make it impossible for the royal family and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to maintain even the most superficial peace.

Basically, once you get stuck, you can't get rid of it.

Therefore, he tried his best to express that it had nothing to do with him.

All of this was done by Huo Yuhao.

But Huo Yuhao didn’t care about that. In the past, you wanted to use me to break up the power of the old nobles, but now it has changed. I want you to support me with the power of a country and tie you to my chariot.

Want to come down?
Sorry, there is no way.

"No, Your Majesty, without the help of your royal family, there is no way I could have killed Dai Huabin near the White Tiger Duke's Mansion of the Xingluo Empire."

"Your Majesty, please don't be so modest." Huo Yuhao said sincerely while holding Xu Jiawei's hand.

"You haven't been in Shrek Academy for long, but you seem to have changed a lot." Xu Jiawei narrowed his eyes and looked at Huo Yuhao, silently shaking off Huo Yuhao's hand.

“It’s just that I’ve been in contact with people for a long time and learned some small tricks.” Huo Yuhao said modestly with his head down.

“Hmph! A trivial trick?” Xu Jiawei flicked his sleeves and looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Apart from Huo Yuhao, the only people who knew about Dai Huabin's affair were members of the royal family. As long as Huo Yuhao was killed, the matter could be completely covered up.

At the very beginning, Xu Jiawei did want to use Huo Yuhao to get rid of Dai Huabin and others, dismantle the old aristocratic forces headed by the White Tiger Family, and completely transform the Star Luo Empire into the royal Star Luo Empire.

But now the situation has changed.

The strength of the Sun-Moon Empire put Xu Jiawei under tremendous pressure. Under such circumstances, he gradually realized that now was not the best time to take action against the White Tiger Family.

In addition, Xu Jiawei did not want to hand over this hundred thousand year old soul beast to Huo Yuhao as he had promised.

Huo Yuhao's talent in soul guides is very good, and can even be said to be unprecedented. But now the situation does not wait for anyone.

If we wait until Huo Yuhao grows up, the war might have already started, and we may not be able to catch up by then.

The usefulness is weakened but the danger is greatly increased. This is what Xu Jiawei thinks of Huo Yuhao.

But Xu Jiujiu, the second in command of the royal family, does not think so. In Xu Jiujiu's view, now is the last chance to eliminate the forces of the old aristocracy once the war breaks out.

Dai Hao, who already controlled a large number of troops in peacetime, would undoubtedly see his status rise again to a level that would be difficult for others to pull down because of the war.

By that time, even if the royal family wanted to take action against Dai Hao again, they would probably have no chance.

And Huo Yuhao is undoubtedly the best person to solve this problem.

You have to know that before Huo Yuhao, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had always been a single-line inheritance. Dai Hao was the only one in his generation, and the same was true for Dai Hao's previous generation. In other words, Dai Hao had a strong fertility and gave birth to four children in one go. And there was a deep hatred between the legitimate and illegitimate children.

Only then did they have the opportunity to dismantle these old aristocratic forces through internal conflicts.

This is also the reason why Xu Jiujiu decided to help Huo Yuhao. It was not only because of her personal selfishness towards Huo Yuhao, but also partly for the sake of the Star Luo Empire.

Huo Yuhao, who possessed the spirit eye martial spirit, keenly noticed the change in Xu Jiawei's mood.

But Huo Yuhao was not alarmed: "Your Majesty, under the current circumstances, we have two ways to solve this problem."

Without waiting for Xu Jiawei to ask, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to explain.

"The first one is to kill me, execute me, the murderer of Dai Huabin, and completely cover up this matter. Let this matter become an unsolved case.

For Your Majesty, this is the most convenient and simplest way."

"But you must be well prepared if you dare to come here, right?" Xu Jiawei said with a cold snort as he looked at Huo Yuhao, who seemed familiar yet unfamiliar to him.

“I just took some precautions.” Huo Yuhao pointed at Ma Xiaotao outside the door and said, “The senior sister who came with me is called Ma Xiaotao. She is the apprentice of Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Martial Spirit Department of Shrek Academy and a Titled Douluo.”

"He is also a Fire Phoenix genius soul master who became a soul emperor at a young age."

“It can be said that he is the most loyal of the loyal descendants of Shrek Academy. He has a great chance of becoming a senior figure in the Sea God Pavilion in the future.”

"Your Majesty, it's easy to kill me, but if you want to completely cover up this matter, you must kill Ma Xiaotao, otherwise the news will leak out."

"After all, she is outside right now."

Xu Jiawei naturally couldn't believe everything Huo Yuhao said. But when the spirit master who was sent out came back and told Xu Jiawei the information from the investigation, Xu Jiawei's face turned completely ugly.

"Tell me, what is the second way? Or what is the only way?" Xu Jiawei said to Huo Yuhao.

Xu Jiujiu who was standing next to him also looked at Huo Yuhao with curiosity. Huo Yuhao told her that he had the ability to convince Xu Jiawei, but Xu Jiujiu was also curious about what method he would use.

As for why Xu Jiujiu believed in Huo Yuhao without even knowing the specific method, we can only say that sometimes the game of life really depends on appearance.

“The second way is also very simple.” Huo Yuhao said as he paced with his hands behind his back.

"That is to continue our previous agreement."

“Although according to what His Majesty promised me before, I can get the 100,000-year soul beast at will, but since we agreed to an exchange from the beginning.

I certainly won’t take this treasure away empty-handed.”

"Hmph, what can you come up with?"

Hundred thousand year soul beasts are rare in the world. In tens of thousands of years, this may be the first hundred thousand year soul beast captured alive by humans.

In other words, Xu Jiawei didn't know that the object imprisoned in it was the Snow Empress who had lived for 700,000 years. Otherwise, no matter how much Huo Yuhao talked, it would be impossible for him to get this treasure from Xu Jiawei.

“Your Majesty left behind this 100,000-year-old soul beast and this ninth-level soul guide, simply to use them to disrupt the situation in the Sun Moon Empire. If that’s the case,” Huo Yuhao said with a smile as he carefully examined the Conferred God Platform where the Snow Queen was imprisoned.

"I will help your majesty disrupt the situation in the Sun and Moon Empire."
