Chapter 19 Accountability
"I'm Xu Hao, who are you?" Xu Hao looked up and saw the other person's brocade robe of the Pacification Bureau, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it’s not the White Lotus Sect!
But even in the Pacification Office, Xu Hao looked slightly wary.

After all, the White Lotus Sect has a connection with the ministers in the court. What if they take notice of a small figure like him?
Xu Hao's footsteps have been maintaining the posture of chasing a cicada with eight steps. If there is anything wrong, he will run away immediately.

This is the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty after all, and it is expected that the other party will not blatantly kill a small guard.

"I'm glad it's you. Come with me. The Ninth Princess wants to see you!" The man from the Pacification Office glanced at Xu Hao's actions and couldn't help laughing.

A small fry who had just been promoted to the human level actually dared to take a defensive stance in front of him.

He was just on a mission, otherwise he could have been crushed to death with one hand.

"Ninth Princess?" Xu Hao frowned when he heard it.

He had no relatives or friends with the Ninth Princess, and had never even met her.

Although there were one or two opportunities to meet in the past few days, Xu Hao chose to avoid it because he was unwilling to fight with the team in real life.

Now, while I was hiding, I was actually summoned by the Ninth Princess.

How is this going?

Even if he is as handsome as Pan An, he won't be so handsome that the Ninth Princess will look at him differently!

Could it be that the Ninth Princess found clues that the Xu family was involved with ministers in the court?
Or is there something else going on?
Xu Hao thought a lot at this moment.

Seeing that Xu Hao didn't move immediately, the strong man from the Pacification Division spoke in a commanding tone, "Hurry up, the Ninth Princess doesn't like to wait for people!"

"Yes!" Xu Hao finally sighed helplessly.

This is the power gap.

If he had the strength of the heavenly level at this moment, what would it matter if it was the emperor's order?

Now, he was only at the second level of the human realm, so he could only follow the strong men from the Pacification Office and run towards the palace.

"Isn't this the direction to the imperial palace?" After walking for a distance, Xu Hao immediately raised the question in his mind.

This direction is the direction of the Heavenly Prison!
Are you going to be sent to jail?
"I'm warning you one last time. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, otherwise!" The strong man from the Pacification Division moved his breath, and a powerful pressure of energy and blood descended on Xu Hao, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Earth level!

Xu Hao felt the aura of a strong man from the Pacification Bureau and was immediately shocked.

The person summoned was already at the Earth level, so even if he wanted to escape, he wouldn't have a chance.

How could a human-level trash escape from the hands of an earth-level expert?

Xu Hao's eyes struggled for a moment, and finally he calmed down his inner restlessness, then followed the strong men from the Pacification Division into the Sky Prison.

The main reason is that until this moment, there has been no good or bad luck indication on the chance divination panel, so perhaps this time the Ninth Princess just wants to see him.

As for why?
That can only be confirmed after meeting in person.

The strong man from the Pacification Division turned his head and looked at Xu Hao, who had regained his composure, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Because from the very beginning, Xu Hao was a little reluctant, and even the moment he saw the Sky Prison, his body felt noticeable throbbing.

However, after entering the sky prison, the latter actually calmed down.

This is completely different from those who entered the Heavenly Prison for the first time.

A flash of surprise crossed the eyes of the powerful man from the Pacification Division, and then he quietly led Xu Hao into an interrogation room in the Sky Prison.

"The Ninth Princess is inside!" The strong man from the Pacification Office pointed to the door and made a gesture of invitation.

No matter what Xu Hao is like, to be summoned by the Ninth Princess, he must have certain skills and determination, which can also explain Xu Hao's calmness before.

Xu Hao didn't know what the powerful man from the Pacification Division was thinking of him. He took a deep breath, calmed his inner thoughts, and then pushed the door open and walked out. The moment Xu Hao entered, he immediately looked around.

He saw a peerless beauty sitting in the main seat.

She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.

She was a hundred times more beautiful than the countless beauties he had seen on TV in his previous life, even those in retouched photos.

Just sitting there lazily, she exudes a temperament that makes people fantasize.

Xu Hao even had the urge to ravage her severely and beat her until she cried.

Xu Hao quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to scan the surroundings, and immediately discovered Tang Wan'er's presence.

Suddenly, he understood why he was brought here.

He also remembered that this woman seemed to have a keen sense of perception and the ability to detect whether someone was lying.

This is the worst possible misfortune for me.

Xu Hao withdrew his gaze, confirmed the situation in the interrogation room, and quickly saluted, "Imperial Palace Guard Flag Officer Xu Hao, I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess!"

"Hmm!" The Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao hummed lazily, then turned her head to look at Tang Wan'er.

Tang Wan'er immediately understood and stood up to speak, "We have investigated and found out that you are from Shuangqing Prefecture in Jinzhou, and that you bought a place in the Imperial Guard with the help of a minister in the imperial court. Is this true?"

"Yes!" Xu Hao responded quickly, not daring to mix in any false feelings.

"Can you tell me the reason?" Tang Wan'er went straight to the heart of the matter and stated all the coincidences that had occurred in recent times.

After all, if one wants to recruit Xu Hao into the Ninth Princess's lineage, one must investigate his identity and background to avoid recruiting an undercover spy.

Xu Hao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he felt that the other party was here to hold him accountable.

And there is also a bug like Tang Wan'er that can sense whether someone is lying.

If he was on the Imperial Palace Avenue, facing the strong men from the Pacification Bureau, Xu Hao could still make up an excuse, because without actual evidence, the Pacification Bureau would not put him in jail.

But this is the ninth princess of the current dynasty, the future empress who will ascend the throne of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Once you make the empress unhappy, even if there is no evidence, you may be thrown into prison or even your entire family may be exterminated just based on a liking for someone.

Xu Hao mentally sorted out his words for a moment before speaking, "Our Xu family has been having a hard time living in Shuangqing Prefecture, Jinzhou. Because we have no background, we're restricted everywhere. Add to that the frequent appearance of demons these days, and we came here to seek a living, hoping for the peace and stability of the capital.

But when we arrived in the capital, we found that the industries here were already stable and extremely difficult to participate in. So my father spent all his wealth and recommended me to become a guard.

As for the White Lotus Sect, I was completely unaware of it. Moreover, because the Xu family's property was destroyed, other people and forces saw that our Xu family had no background, so they attacked us and almost bankrupted us.

We didn't find anything unusual about Villa No. 27. It's my fault!"

The ninth princess Xuan Qingxiao turned her head and looked at Tang Wan'er.

Tang Wan'er immediately shook her head, indicating that Xu Hao did not lie.

Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao asked in a serious tone, "Then what was your purpose in visiting the Twelve Courtyards last time?"

"I'll go check it out based on the clues!" Xu Hao took a deep breath and answered directly.

This was the excuse he came up with later, because according to the chance divination panel and the clues, there was no conflict, and it could also be used to fool Tang Wan'er.

The ninth princess Xuan Qingxiao turned her head again and looked at Tang Wan'er.

This time, Tang Wan'er showed a hint of doubt.
