C151 Who Is This Lin Xiao
On the dragon throne sat a middle-aged man wearing a nine dragon robe. He put down the secret scroll in his hand and raised his eyes. He looked relieved. "I didn't expect First Prince to win. I was worried that he was too honest and not a match for Fourth Prince."
"First Prince lost too!"
When General Hei Hu heard emperor's words, he looked a little embarrassed. He braced himself and reported.
"What!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he smashed the secret scroll in his hand onto the table. He suddenly stood up and walked in front of General Hei Hu. He questioned, "Mr. Fufeng has withdrawn from the competition. In the talents competition, no one can defeat First Prince and Fourth Prince. Could it be that Guiqi and Zhang Gehua have defeated them?"
"It's Lin Xiao."
General Hei Hu shook his head and said Lin Xiao's name. At the same time, he explained, "It's the young man who bullied Third Prince."
"It's him!?"
Hearing General Hei Hu mention Lin Xiao, emperor's face showed displeasure. He said with some annoyance, "I thought he was a sensible person, but I didn't expect him to be so ignorant!"
Ever since Lin Xiao killed Qiu Ann in Guang'an County, emperor knew that Lin Xiao had ordered his men to protect Lin Xiao, but he didn't expect them to mistakenly think that Lin Xiao was his man.
Although this made him a little unhappy, in order to suppress Third Prince's power, he still acquiesced to this matter and kept Lin Xiao safe for a few times.
But he didn't expect Lin Xiao to be so ignorant and openly go against his sons!
With his hands behind his back, emperor paced back and forth in the Imperial Reading Room and said somewhat angrily, "I am carrying out this round of additional test to give First Prince and Fourth Prince a chance to determine who is better and who is better. But now, I am giving an outsider an advantage! Who exactly is this Lin Xiao? "
emperor had sent someone to investigate Lin Xiao's background, and the result was that he was just an ordinary son of Prefectural Governor.
Even if he was a descendant of the Lin family... The Lin family had been declining for many years, and they couldn't provide any help to him. So, how did he grow up?
He had heard that Lin Xiao had many powerful subordinates by his side, and even Tribulation Crossing Stage's subordinates!
This was absolutely unusual!
Seeing emperor's expression, General Hei Hu said, "You don't have to worry. Have you forgotten the rules of this competition? If someone wants to become an empire's general, he must obtain two Tiger Tallys at the same time!"
"Yes! How could I have forgotten!"
When emperor heard this, he finally revealed a smile. He stretched out his hand and patted General Hei Hu's shoulder. He said with a smile, "The other Tiger Tally is in your hands. As long as you don't hand over the Tiger Tally, Lin Xiao will never win!"
"You are right."
A confident smile appeared on General Hei Hu's face. He patted the brocade pouch on his waist and said, "The Tiger Tally is at my waist. Lin Xiao wants to snatch something from me. He doesn't have the ability!"
"That's good."
emperor nodded with satisfaction, as if he had thought of something. He frowned again. "You are in charge of the Tiger Tally. I am naturally relieved. It's just that I still have some doubts about Lin Xiao's background! Everyone outside is saying that he is my man. But you and I both know very well that he is not... "Could it be that he was arranged by the Third Prince to come to my side?"
"I guess he isn't."
General Hei Hu hesitated for a moment and reported with a frown, "This kid killed Qiu Ann. He killed many of Third Prince's experts, and even Red and Purple Flowers died in his hands. "If it was Third Prince who arranged it, the price would be too great! Not to mention on Black Tortoise Street. "If I didn't help him, I'm afraid he would have already died!"
"But the experts by his side are as numerous as the clouds, and their growth during this period of time is astonishing. I don't believe that he doesn't have any power backing him."
emperor narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. With a serious tone, he said, "If he wasn't nurtured by an unworldly power... "There is only one possibility."
"You are suspecting that he is a spy from another country!"
General Hei Hu's expression changed drastically, and his tone became serious.
As one of the upper echelons of Beiwu Empire, General Hei Hu knew a thing or two about the forces outside of Beiwu Empire.
There were many mysterious powers outside the Beiwu Empire. These powers had no interest in the imperial power, but the sect was very powerful.
Apart from these powers, there were also many other countries in the Beiwu Empire.
Some of these countries were stronger than the Beiwu Empire, while others were weaker than the Beiwu Empire. Although the distance between countries was quite far, and they didn't interfere in each other's business, it was hard to guarantee that the other countries wouldn't have any evil intentions.
emperor's eyes were covered with black fog, and he continued, "Recently, the movements of other countries seem to be a little frequent, and Lin Xiao just happened to rise at this critical moment. It is really not normal. No matter what, we can't let him obtain the Tiger Tally. If necessary, we can cripple him! "
"Yes!"
General Hei Hu heard emperor's words and nodded with a serious expression. He bowed and walked out of the Imperial Reading Room.
...
On the other side, Lin Xiao brought Yang Jian, Huge Spirit God, and the others to the largest martial arena in Imperial City - Green Dragon Field.
On the martial arena, thousands of soldiers were training.
Seeing Lin Xiao swaggering in and holding a dog, the soldiers stopped what they were doing and frowned.
A person wearing a red helmet and red armor walked towards Lin Xiao and asked rudely, "What are you doing!? The martial arts field is a restricted area of the military, not everyone can enter! Hurry up and get out!"
Shut up! "
Hearing the general's words, Huge Spirit God glared at him and said in a low and muffled voice, "Lin Xiao is Prefectural Governor, an official appointed by the Imperial Court, not some random person!"
No one's voice was louder than Huge Spirit God's.
After he finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Lin Xiao and the others and walked over.
Seeing the group of soldiers, Huge Spirit God shrugged indifferently and asked, "What is it? There are so many of you, do you want to bully us?"
"We don't need to attack all of you to defeat you!"
Hearing Huge Spirit God's words, The general in red armor did not want to be outdone. He said loudly, "I am Vice General Hong Gaang, General Hei Hu's subordinate. If you dare to be impudent in the martial arts field, it means you are going against me. If you don't leave, I will beat you up!"
"Where is General Hei Hu?"
Seeing that Huge Spirit God was about to fight Hong Gaang to the death, Lin Xiao reached out his hand to stop him. He looked up at Hong Gaang and asked.
