Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 264 - You're the Only One Who Wants to be Brothers with Seventh Young Master?

“Esteemed Empress Xu, bring three hundred guards with you. Remember, you must be courteous and not disturb the families of Huo Family.” The Emperor unexpectedly instructed the Commander Xu.

Commander Xu really did not want to take on this job. Regardless of whether he could find evidence or not, he was human on the inside.

“Yes, this humble servant obeys the decree!” Commander Xu walked out of the Chengde Hall with his back straightened.

“If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come to the court today.” Yin Xu muttered to himself. Right now, all of the Huo Family were in this great hall, if he were to search for the evidence now, wouldn't he be searching for every evidence? Who knew if they would fake one themselves and say it was from Huo Family.

Huo Yiming had clearly thought of this, and stood up to speak loudly. “Your Majesty, this subject feels that it is inappropriate for Commander Xu to bring people to search, this subject humbly requests Huo Family Army to supervise!”

“General Huo, are you kidding? Could it be that the Commander Xu is still worried about him getting framed?”

“Hmph, this general didn't say that. This general naturally trusts the people of Commander Xu, but who can clearly say whether those guards are black or white?”

“This subject agrees, General Huo is right.”

“This subject agrees …”

Huo Yiming's suggestion was very normal. Most of the officials present would not go against it.

“Since you're so worried, then pass along our decree for the three hundred Huo Family Army s to monitor the situation, but Huo Family Army s are not allowed to touch anything else.” The emperor's eyes darkened, and seeing that half of the officials had stood up to express their support, he had no choice but to agree.

“This subject thanks the lord for his grace!” The purpose of Huo Yiming was achieved, and he finally felt a bit more at ease.

Huo Yidao stood at the end of the hall. Today, he was exceptionally quiet, and after entering the hall, his head was always lowered. At this moment, both of his hands were tightly clenched within his sleeves.

He felt a chill spreading from inside to outside. He glanced up at the blurry figure on the throne, the corners of his mouth curving into a straight line.

At this point, he had no way of turning back.

It was impossible for the people who searched for evidence to return so quickly, and the Emperor had already discussed the remaining matters. The progress of the disaster relief in the south, the construction of several irrigation canals in the north, and the amount of money needed to repair the roads in certain places were all things that cost people a lot of money.

Commander Xu ordered three hundred guards to accompany him, and as soon as they left the palace gates, another person immediately moved their horses over. He explained the purpose of this trip and the things that he needed to take note of, and seeing that there were people who disapproved, he said in a deep voice: “This is a serious matter, you guys must search carefully!”

“Yes …” The guards answered hesitantly, unwilling to do such a thing.

Within the crowd, a few ordinary looking guards kept their heads down until the group left. Although some of them looked unfamiliar, they didn't think too much about it. After all, they had just left the palace together.

The Commander Xu was seated on a horse so he naturally saw these people. After the other party secretly revealed his identity token, he knew that this trip would not be easy.

He wouldn't believe that the Emperor had planted his own Dark Guard s into the Huo Family together with him. As for whether or not it was because he was worried, he wasn't sure.

But no matter what they did, the result was still their own. What should he do?

Although he was a determined royalist, he didn't want to become enemies with Huo Family. Among the few people he admired in his life, Huo Zhengquan was one of them.

He felt unspeakably aggrieved to have him bring people to frame Huo Zhengquan, but he just didn't dare not go.

He looked up at the rising sun and sighed to himself. I hope that the Marshal Huo does not place this debt on his head.

When they arrived outside the Huo Mansion gate, the three hundred Huo Family Army s had also arrived. Commander Xu was slightly relieved to see this battle.

He read out the decree of the Emperor. When he saw the Mrs. Huo's beautiful face, he uncomfortably looked away, “Madam, this lowly one is only following the imperial edict. Please do me the favour, Madam.”

Mrs. Huo has lived in the capital for more than ten years, but she has never encountered something like this. Fortunately, she was not timid, “Since it's an order from the Emperor, then come according to the emperor's request.

“Of course not.” Commander Xu explained the issues of discipline to them loudly before bringing them into the Huo Mansion.

Every guard had a Huo Family Army at their side, making them unable to even walk.

A guard was assigned to one of the rooms in the backyard. He looked around and muttered, “This yard doesn't look like it's the main house. Even if there is evidence, it wouldn't be here.”

After saying that, he pushed open the door, intending to stroll around for a bit before leaving. As he walked, he chatted with the people beside him, “Hey, brother, how many years have you been at Huo Family Army?”

“Three years.”

“That's not long. Can they trust you? What if I do something bad and you get bribed? “

whoosh * A shiny blade rested on his neck. “You can try!”

“Don't, don't, don't …” I was just joking, bro… “Blades and swords don't have eyes, so it's best not to mess around and unsheath them.” The little guard accompanied his smile and repeatedly emphasized that he was only joking. He definitely believed in the Marshal Huo.

As he entered the house, the little guard realized that the courtyard was really made of gold and jade. All the furnishings inside the house were of the highest quality. Even in the palace compound, the items used were only this much?

He thought to himself: Could it be that the Marshal Huo has really embezzled the army's salary? Otherwise, why would a dilapidated courtyard be decorated in such luxurious fashion?

“Hurry up if you want to find it, but don't touch it!” the little soldier beside him urged.

The guard touched here and there, and only started looking after them after he had had a good look.

The vase needed to be placed gently, the bookshelves would have to be turned over before they could be neatly put away. He didn't even dare to look at the bedsheets for a few seconds, so he decided to just forget about it.

Opening the wardrobe, the little guard was surprised to find that the clothes inside looked somewhat familiar. He couldn't help but mutter under his breath, “Could it be that some brother of mine lives in this courtyard?” Did he have a brother named Huo? Impossible!

“Tch, you think you're the only one who wants to be brothers with Seventh Young Master? “He's really going to put money on his face!” The little soldier crossed his arms and gave a mocking smile.

“What?” This is Seventh Young Master's room? ” The guard hurriedly closed the wardrobe door and patted his chest, “I didn't expect that my luck would be so good!”

He walked around the house twice and spread out his hands, “Alright, I've finished searching. Since I can't find anything suspicious, I will go and report back.”

The little soldier looked at him twice, guessing that his relationship with the Seventh Young Master was not bad.

He had a sincere smile on his face. “It's too early to go out now. Why don't we sit in the house for a while before going out?”

“Right!” “As expected of you.” The little guard rubbed his head with an embarrassed expression.

Inside the Huo Family Patriarch's study, a guard cried out in alarm, attracting everyone's attention. “Found him … Commander, quickly look! “

Huo Family Army who was watching from the side widened his eyes, and rushed over to snatch it without thinking, “Where did you find it? I didn't see it at all! “

“Stop!” Commander Xu roared, and pushed the soldier away, “Impudent! If you really want to snatch it, then Huo Family is in danger!”

The soldier collapsed to the ground, “I…” I just made a mistake, how could it… How is that possible?

Commander Xu did not look at him, but extended his hand to look at the letter. Seeing that there was no special imprint or name on the cover, he angrily asked, “Have you opened it and read it?”

“Never.”

“Then how did you know it was this?” Commander Xu looked at the unfamiliar guard in front of him and his face turned green.

Thinking about this, Commander Xu's hands started to tremble, and the thin letter seemed to weigh over a thousand kilograms.

“Reporting to lord, this envelope does not have the same style as our big beam. The quality of the paper is also different. Furthermore, it is hidden in a book. This subordinate has already guessed it, how about …” Would you like to open it and take a look? “

Was there even a need to look? Commander Xu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, what this person brought purposely was naturally real.

He put the letter away and adjusted his state of mind. Then, he said in a deep voice, “Alright, since you've found the item, you should go back to report!”

Whether it was fortune or misfortune was already beyond his control, the Commander Xu sighed silently.

Walking out of the study, Commander Xu discovered that they were surrounded by Huo Family Army, and their leader was actually Mrs. Huo.

“Madam, what do you mean by this?”

“I heard that the Lord Commander found evidence. Where is it?” Can you show it to me first? ” Mrs. Huo had changed into a new set of riding clothes and was holding a long spear in his hand.

Commander Xu had never seen a woman like this. He could not help but look at her a few more times, “My apologies Madam, this lowly one still needs to return and report. Please make way.”

Mrs. Huo gripped his spear tightly, pointed it at him, and spoke with a sonorous and powerful voice: “Commander Xu, my husband is an indomitable man, he has never done anything to let down the great pillars!”

Commander Xu thought: I believe!

“Madam, this matter will naturally come to a divine decision.”

Mrs. Huo kept her spear and retreated to the side, ordering the soldiers behind him, “Protect Commander Xu and enter the palace, do not allow anyone to come in contact with them on the way.”

Commander Xu looked at her deeply. He understood her intention, but he didn't mind her actions.

After he left, Mrs. Huo stood in the courtyard for a while and instructed the butler, “Go and call Yiloong out. There are matters at home, and as a disciple of Huo Family, he has to put in some effort.”

“Yes, ma'am.”
