Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 96: White Tiger Duke Dai Hao Meets Yuwen Tuo
Everyone who flew out of Shrek finally landed in the border mountains between Xingluo and the Sun-Moon Empire, which is called Mingdou Mountains.

At this time Xuanzi appeared again, and sure enough, the old guy was hiding beside them.

"Master Xuan, the military camp is ahead." Zhou Yi said.

Xuan Zi said, "Well, Zhou Yi, Dai Hao's cultivation is not weak. Your disguise can't hide it from him."

"I understand that, and since he is of noble status, I will face him with my true self." Zhou Yi took off the reading glasses.

Just when everyone was confused about what it meant.

The area around her body suddenly shattered like a mirror. Behind the broken mirror, the originally old and ugly face disappeared, replaced by a woman of about 28 or 29 years old, with an even more gentle and charming appearance.

"Surprised? This is my martial spirit, the Eight-Faced Master. My original appearance doesn't align with my teaching philosophy, so I usually use the power of my martial spirit to disguise myself as a ferocious old woman." Zhou Yi said with a smile, "Let's go and pay a visit to Duke White Tiger."

"You guys just go. I hate dealing with these nobles the most." Xuan Zi's figure flashed and disappeared again.

As they headed towards the military camp, Dai Yueheng introduced the details with impressive detail: "Our Xingluo Empire is located in the southeast of the continent, with coastal areas to the east and south. Our area is second only to Sun and Moon among the four kingdoms. Our military primarily consists of two major armies in the northwest. Of these, the Western Army, commanded by my father, is the most important, as it is tasked with guarding against the Sun and Moon Empire. Its total strength is a staggering 500,000 men."

It can be seen that he is very proud of his own army.

When they arrived at the gate of the military camp, everyone entered the camp smoothly because of Dai Yuheng's presence.

The entire camp was filled with a murderous atmosphere. However, in the early morning, the military training had already begun. It was not only neat but also awe-inspiring, and could be considered an elite army.

Dai Yueheng said proudly, "Our Western Army Group is the strongest army in the Xingluo Empire, and the Central Army Group you see before you is the elite of the elite, truly an iron-blooded army."

"Army? My master seemed to have taught me how to train the Twelve Immortals Army. Unfortunately, I was daydreaming during class and didn't listen carefully." Yuwen Tuo thought with regret.

He was good at all kinds of studies, except military law.

This is also because Yuwen Tuo was not born with great ambitions. He likes to discuss martial arts, but he is not fond of killing. He likes to play chess, but he does not like to deploy troops. He likes to refine medicine, but he does not like to refine poison.

Fortunately, under the circumstances at that time, learning the art of military formations was of no help in sealing the Scar of Sky. Therefore, even though Yuwen Tuo did not study hard, his master followed him.

At that moment, a tall figure approached, his golden hair flowing in the air. He was clad in armor and stood nearly two meters tall. From the side, one could see his hard, sculpted face, as if it had been carved by a knife or an axe.

Dai Yueheng hurried forward and bowed, "Father."

There is no doubt that the general in front of him is none other than Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger, who is second only to the emperor in the Xingluo Empire.

He is also the father of brothers Dai Yaoheng and Dai Huabin.

Of course, he is also Huo Yuhao's father. Yuwen Tuo can clearly feel that Huo Yuhao's breath has become disordered at this moment.

Zhou Yi stepped forward and explained the purpose of this trip to Dai Hao.

Dai Hao immediately sent out scouts to gather intelligence for the supervisory group.

At this time, he noticed that Huo Yuhao's breathing was a little rapid, and asked, "Have we met this little brother before?"

Huo Yuhao clenched his fists gradually and spat out two words almost through gritted teeth, "No!" Dai Hao was a shrewd man. He knew that Huo Yuhao must recognize him, but since the other party was unwilling to say, he was too lazy to ask more.

He's just a teenager, what connection could there be between him and me?
Yuwen Tuo smiled secretly. He really couldn't understand why Huo Yuhao forgave Dai Hao later. No matter how busy Dai Hao was, as long as there was even a trace of Huo Yun'er in his heart, he would not be unaware of the existence of his own son.

Huo Yun'er is obsessed with love, which can be heard from her last words, but could this love-sickness also affect her son?
When Dai Hao glanced at Yuwen Tuo and saw his appearance, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of shock. "Little brother, may I ask who you are?"

"Why, Your Excellency the Duke, do you know me? My name is Yuwen Tuo. I am just a commoner in the Tianhun Empire, without a father or a mother." Yuwen Tuo said.

"Tianhun Empire? Without a father or a mother, it seemed like it was indeed the case at that time..." Dai Hao seemed to be thinking about something.

"Hehe, could it be that Your Excellency the Duke knows my background? Could it be that I am your illegitimate child or something like that?" Yuwen Tuo said calmly. Since he did not care about his own background, he was very calm when he spoke about his speculations about his background.

Huo Yuhao and Dai Yueheng were both shocked.

Dai Hao's emotions when he saw Yuwen Tuo were indeed different from those when he saw others. Could it be that this Yuwen Tuo was really the biological brother their father had given birth to them outside?

"Little brother, you're joking. I only have three sons in my family. The eldest son, Yaoheng, is here. The second son, Huabin, is currently studying at Shrek Academy. The youngest son, Luoli, is at home with his mother. I'm usually busy with military duties, so how could I have the time to have an illegitimate child?"

"Really?" Yuwen Tuo complained in his heart, isn't there an illegitimate child next to you right now?

Sure enough, when Huo Yuhao heard this, veins on his arms bulged.

As a father, Dai Hao not only failed to recognize him, but he didn't even know he existed.

You know, he lived in the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion not for just one or two days, but for a full ten years.

In the past ten years, whenever Dai Hao visited Huo Yun'er once, he would know him.

"Alright, fellow young heroes of the Shrek Supervisory Group, I've prepared a banquet for you. Please conserve your energy before the scouts return. The evil soul masters are extremely brutal, so I'll have to trouble you this time." Although Dai Hao was a duke, he did not have the arrogance of other nobles. Instead, he was very polite.

Perhaps it was because his Dai family was originally a royal family of Xingluo, but the throne was later occupied by the Xu family. He was afraid of being suspected by the royal family, so he deliberately kept a low profile and was humble.

Led by a soldier, everyone went to the tent to rest.

Dai Hao returned to his camp, called his deputy general, and handed him a letter. "Send this back to His Majesty. I may have seen that child. I never thought that after so many years of disappearance, he would still be alive and at Shrek Academy."

The deputy general received the order, "Yes!"

Dai Hao leaned back on the wide chair at the back and murmured, "I hope this long-missing child will reappear. It's a blessing, not a curse!"

Just as Yuwen Tuo expected, Dai Hao did know some clues about his life experience.

Otherwise he wouldn't have asked that question in the first place.

But to Yuwen Tuo, that was not important.

Instead of telling him who his parents are, it would be better to tell him which evil soul master slaughtered the village back then!
