Douluo: The Peerless Eye of Heaven Yu Hao

The Old Xuan that Xu Jiawei mentioned was naturally Xuan Zi. As for why he appeared in the imperial city and sat with Xu Jiawei, the reason had to do with Old Mu.

Xuan Zi said: "That child is called Huo Yuhao, and he is also a member of your Xing Luo Empire."

Hearing this, Xu Jiawei's eyes lit up.

"Hehe." Xuan Zi chuckled, "Although he is from your Xing Luo Empire, he has already become a disciple of a strong man from my Shrek Academy, so you should put that thought aside."

Xu Jiawei still smiled, "I am mainly relieved to see such a talented young man appear in my Xingluo Empire. As for which side he belongs to, it doesn't matter."

Xuan Zi drank the juice and glanced at Xu Jiawei thoughtfully, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"This student has reached the ten thousand year level with only the third ring. I'm afraid his future performance will be no less than that of a Super Douluo."

Suddenly, Dai Hao, who was sitting nearby, interrupted.

As soon as these words were spoken, the four Titled Douluo who were responsible for protecting Xu Jiawei nodded in agreement.

As long as this young man does not die, his future achievements will not be inferior to theirs.

“Haha.” Xuan Zi laughed loudly when Dai Hao praised Huo Yuhao. Then he added something else, “Come to think of it, Yuhao has a lot in common with your youngest son, Dai Hao.”

"Oh?"

Dai Hao turned his head and looked, which also attracted the attention of Xu Jiawei and everyone else.

"Master Xuan, what do you mean?" Dai Hao asked respectfully.

Xuanzi took a bite of the chicken leg and said, "Yuhao's teacher is Mingfeng Douluo."

Dai Hao's expression changed instantly.

Xu Jiawei's eyelids drooped slightly, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The four Titled Douluo guards looked at each other and inexplicably felt that the air was solidified, which was quite strange.

Ming Feng Douluo and the others knew about this, but was there any problem with that?

"Tap tap tap."

The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the inexplicably tense atmosphere.

A middle-aged man dressed in Star Guard uniform came over and whispered some information to Xu Jiawei using his soul power.

A smile flashed across Xu Jiawei's lips, "Prime Minister."

Hearing His Majesty calling him, the Prime Minister of the Xingluo Empire, who was wearing a bright red official uniform, quickly came to the side and waited for the emperor to speak.

"Pass on my order to start the court session at noon."

"Yes." The Prime Minister agreed immediately without asking the reason, and then left to give instructions.

"Your Majesty, has something happened?" The Queen was so engrossed in watching the game that she was also attracted by it.

Xu Jiawei patted the queen's white and tender hands and said with a smile: "Nothing, continue watching the game."

The Queen looked back at the competition stage.

Upon hearing that a court meeting was going to be held, the other officials lost their mood for a moment and didn't know what was going on.

Since many officials who were supposed to watch the game did not show up, there was no doubt that something had probably gone wrong.

As for Dai Hao, he was shocked by the news. As expected, he should have continued to beat his disappointing second son with a belt at that time.

A morning passed, and the shouting hardly stopped. Huo Yuhao estimated that the medicine for treating throats in Xingluo City was sold out.

As the morning competition ended, a total of twelve colleges were eliminated, and twelve colleges advanced.

The number of students from different academies in the rest area increased. The students who advanced to the round-robin tournament were all chatting excitedly, while the students from the eliminated academies were shaking their heads and sighing, packing up their bedding and preparing to leave.

Under the maintenance of the soldiers, the audience evacuated the square in an orderly manner. As for the people from many colleges, they returned to the Star King Hotel quietly to rest under the escort of the soldiers.

As soon as they returned to the hotel, Zhang Lexuan called everyone to gather in the conference room.

Everyone who wanted to go eat came to the meeting room looking at each other.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister?" Ma Xiaotao was the first to ask.

The others also looked over.

Zhang Lexuan glanced at everyone and said, "Master Xuan just sent me a soul message, telling me something. In the subsequent round-robin tournaments, as long as the opponent is not any of the top 16 colleges in the previous tournament, we must send four reserve team students to compete."

"Master Xuan wants to train his troops." Beibei said, pinching his chin.

"That's right." Wang Yan interrupted, "Master Xuan said that in the second round of the round-robin tournament, we will encounter a battle against a not-so-strong team. There is no need for the main team to waste energy fighting, so we plan to train the reserve team students in advance. We will select from the reserve team at any time for the subsequent round-robin tournament arrangements, so don't let us down."

"We're fine."

Wang Dong quickly patted his chest and stood up.

He Caitou and Beibei also looked quite serious. There were seven people in the reserve team, but only three of them did not play.

Although Jiang Nannan and the other three were only there for formality, it was still an experience.

Yao Haoxuan crossed his arms in front of his chest and said lazily, "Indeed, there is no point in bullying the weak. We, the seniors, will just cheer you on from behind."

"You don't have to play the game. I guess you're secretly very happy, right?" Ling Luochen said with a cold expression.

"No, no, how could that be?" Yao Haoxuan shook his head in rebuttal.

"Haha."

Looking at Yao Haoxuan's funny appearance, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go eat. Those who want to watch the game this afternoon can go. If you don't want to watch the game, you can stay in the hotel. But if you need to go out, you must report to us. It is strictly forbidden to go out without permission."

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

……

The sun was shining brightly, and there was a hint of burning in the air. Outside the huge Xuanwu Gate of the Xingluo Palace, a group of officials had been waiting for a long time.

A group of people chatted until the city gate opened and then entered the palace to attend the court meeting.

In the Xingluo Palace, the palace used for court meetings is called the Xingguan Palace, named after the royal family’s martial spirit. The entire palace covers an area similar to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Huo Yuhao’s previous life, except for the appearance. The Xingguan Palace is as its name suggests, and it looks like the Xingguan martial spirit.

As they walked along, the officials entered the palace under the watchful eyes of the imperial guards. At this time, Xu Jiawei had not arrived yet, and the officials who were military generals were chatting around Dai Hao.

"Your Excellency the Duke, do you know what happened? Why did His Majesty suddenly call a court meeting?"

"Yes, yes. According to convention, during the Fighting Spirit Competition, our officials also have a day off."

Dai Hao shook his head. "I don't know either. Let's wait until His Majesty comes."

Upon hearing this, all the generals looked at each other in bewilderment, but there was nothing they could do. Even the Grand Marshal of the Empire didn't know, so there was no need for them to continue asking.

Not only the military generals asked questions, but the civil servants on the other side also surrounded the old prime minister, but the answers they got were the same.

The Prime Minister also said he did not know.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

A Star Guard stepped forward and shouted.

After hearing this, the officials quickly split into two groups and stood in line. At a glance, the number of people was probably over a hundred.

Soon, Xu Jiawei walked from the depths of the palace to the throne, but he did not sit down, nor did he give the officials a chance to salute. He got straight to the point and said, "The Sun-Moon Empire assembled an army of more than 10,000 people and harassed our border at 4 a.m."

"What?" Dai Hao's eyes flashed fiercely, and he stood up, "Your Majesty, I request to return to the border immediately to guard it."

When the other officials heard this, their expressions changed. The Sun-Moon Empire was really lingering around. They even dared to invade the border during the Soul Fighting Competition. Aren't they afraid of the criticism from everyone on the continent?

Xu Jiawei glanced at Dai Hao and said in a deep voice: "The incident happened suddenly. I have already sent people there. Dai Hao, you have been stationed at the border all year round, so you are probably tired. This time, just stay in the imperial capital and observe the competition with me."

When they heard that His Majesty asked Dai Hao to stay in the imperial capital, many officials' hearts skipped a beat and they had unbelievable thoughts in their minds.

The border issue may just be a cover-up. Your Majesty is planning to take action against Duke White Tiger.

Among the civil servants, some people belonging to the Duke of Lingmao's Mansion lowered their heads, their minds in confusion.

If the emperor wants to take action against the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion, how could he let the Duke of Lingmao's Mansion go?

There were officials who wanted to speak out, but after hearing this, they dared not say anything and shut their mouths tightly. If you say anything, it would be refuting the emperor, and His Majesty will definitely find an opportunity to cause trouble for you in the future.

Dai Hao's eyes changed. He was not a fool, so he naturally heard the other meaning in the emperor's words.

As the Grand Marshal of the Empire, he must be stationed at the front line, but the emperor did not allow him to do so and sent others instead. The problem here is very...

"Your Majesty, the Sun-Moon Empire's invasion of the border is no small matter. I am worried..."

But Dai Hao still wanted to fight for it.

"Needless to say, the generals I sent out are all veterans who once served the late emperor. They are very steady in leading the troops. I believe there won't be any problems on the front line." Xu Jiawei interrupted Dai Hao.

The two looked at each other.

Dai Hao's breath quickened, but Xu Jiawei quickly changed the subject, "In addition to the appointment of the border guards, at today's court meeting, I also need to ask you, my dear ministers, how to deal with the southwestern nobles headed by the Duke of Haifeng."

"Shh."

The officials' faces froze completely. To deal with the southwestern nobles?

At this time, some officials realized that although today was a court meeting, some officials were nowhere to be seen.

These people all have a special identity and have more or less some connection with the southwestern nobles.

"I'm sure some people have guessed why some officials are absent. That's because the southwestern nobles, led by Duke Haifeng, have committed treason. These absent officials are the ones who accepted bribes from the southwestern nobles. I have already arrested them."

Xu Jiawei glanced at the officials of the Duke of Lingmao’s Mansion with cold eyes.

Noticing the emperor's gaze, several people shuddered.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that after the Fighting Spirit Competition is over, all these southwestern nobles should be killed. At the same time, I now implore Your Majesty to arrange for new officials to go to the southwest region to maintain local operations."

As the prime minister, this old man in his sixties was very perceptive. He stood up and spoke directly, and he was on the emperor's side.

Xu Jiawei looked at the Prime Minister with satisfaction and said, "My dear ministers, if you have anything to say, please speak up. Don't let the Prime Minister speak alone."

"I second the proposal."

The officials may have low soul power levels, but their eyesight is pretty good.

The emperor has eliminated the southwestern nobles without anyone noticing. If you go against him, you will probably be the one to be eliminated the next day.

"Very good. General Wei is guarding the border. You can rest assured. As for these southwest nobles, we will wait until the Soul Fighting Competition is over and kill them all at the Meridian Gate. I will let some people see the fate of these traitors."

Xu Jiawei's voice was loud, but there was a hint of excitement between his brows.

He had not originally thought of taking action against the southwestern nobles so early, and all this was just a coincidence.

At first, he sent people to the Far North to capture the transformed 100,000-year-old soul beast, but failed. Later, he mobilized the power of his family's prayers and discovered new traces of soul beasts in the southwestern coastal areas. He sent people again to capture it, and in the process, he discovered the activities of the southwestern nobles and the Sun and Moon Empire.

In order to avoid being stabbed in the back by the southwestern nobles when the war broke out, he resolutely launched this plan.

And all of this happened yesterday, under the leadership of Ice Crystal Douluo, the southwest noble group totaling tens of thousands of people was completely uprooted.

There wasn't even any commotion.

At this time, the Sun and Moon Empire did not know that the dog they raised had been killed.

This court meeting lasted for an hour and a half.

The officials left with their own concerns, especially the people from the Civet Duke's Mansion, who almost didn't have the word "urgent" engraved on their faces.

As for Dai Hao, he was invited by Xu Jiawei to chat in the imperial study for a long time. When Dai Hao came out, there was an indescribable emotion on his face.

Chapter 153 He is serious. I am crying to death.

Inside the Duke of Civet’s mansion.

"What did you say?"

The old man, who was about seventy years old, stood up from his chair suddenly and looked nervously at the family members who had rushed back in official uniforms.

Several senior family leaders in the surrounding area looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

"Master, it is absolutely true. The nobles in the southwest have been directly eliminated. When the fighting spirit competition is over, all of them will be beheaded at the Meridian Gate. The reason given by His Majesty is that they are traitors to the country."

The few officials who rushed back were all hunched over, their faces covered in sweat; they were terrified.

When His Majesty said these words, his eyes looked at them several times, filled with murderous intent that was not concealed at all.

It is obvious that His Majesty also knows the connection between their Duke of Lingmao's Mansion and the southwestern nobles.

But this is not the point. If the southwestern nobles committed treason, wouldn’t that implicitly indicate that the Duke of Lingmao’s Mansion had also committed treason?

This is a crime of genocide.
