With that, Su Hu pointed the spearhead at General Hu Qing." General Hu.”
After listening for a long time, Hu Qing, whose scalp was numb, felt as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly replied respectfully," I'm here!”
"Relax, don't be nervous." Su Hu spoke very gently, and his refined appearance was very convincing.
But Hu Qing knew what kind of person the Third Prince was. The more gentle he appeared, the more vicious his schemes were!
"Yes, yes."
"General Hu, do you recognize this person?”
Hu Qing shook his head." I've never seen this person before!”
Su Hu said," If I remember correctly, General Hu should have cultivated the Overlord's Body Protection Art of the Imperial Dynasty's four schools. He should have reached the seventh realm, right?”
The four schools of the Imperial Court were created by the founding emperor of Great Xia. They were specially used to reward the loyal officials of the Imperial Court with the vast grace of the Emperor to rope in and increase the strength of their subordinates.
The four schools of the Imperial Dynasty weren't considered high grade. They were low-grade Mystic Essence. They couldn't compare to the supreme arts of the various sects, much less the Imperial Family's Eight Desolates Prison Suppression, but they were much better than those basic Mystic Essence cultivation techniques.
If one cultivated such a technique to perfection, they would not dare to say that they were at the peak of the world, but they would still be a rare expert in the world.
"Yes, thanks to the emperor's great kindness, Your Majesty bestowed this general with the Overlord's Body Protection Art. This general is grateful!”
"Then tell me, General Hu, you are the general guarding the Imperial City and an expert who has mastered the Overlord's Body Protection Technique. Why can't you sense the movement outside the city?”
"This…" Hu Qing's face revealed a difficult expression."Your Highness, I…"
"Is General Hu in trouble?"
Su Hu scanned his surroundings." General Hu, you must think carefully. Having an affair with a traitor like the Heaven Recovery Association is a crime that will kill all nine generations!”
"If General Hu doesn't explain clearly, I'm afraid…"
Su Hu continued," General Hu is the general guarding the Imperial City. He is a loyal subject of Great Xia!”
If you make it clear, you're still a loyal subject. If you don't make it clear, you're rebelling!
Hu Qing gritted his teeth and said,"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."”
"Last night, a friend I haven't seen for a year came from afar. I was overjoyed and drank with him.”
"I have neglected my duty. Please punish me, Your Majesty!”
Hmm?
Su Hu turned around and waited for Su Qingtian's signal.
Su Qingtian remained expressionless. He leaned back on his chair and supported his head with one hand as he watched quietly. His eyes were full of stars, like a god who was leaning over to enjoy the wonderful performance brought by an actor.
Su Hu saw that Su Qingtian did not respond, so he continued," Who is General Hu's friend?”
Hu Qing said," That friend of mine is just a nobody. He was old friends with me in the early years and helped me when I was in trouble. Later, I moved away from Jiangnan and went north, so we lost contact.”
Su Hu said," A friend whom I haven't seen for many years suddenly came to drink with you. General Hu, have you never suspected anything?”
"This…" Hu Qing's face flushed red."This is my oversight."”
"General Hu, that friend of yours should have joined the Heaven Recovery Association. This time, he must have received orders from the Heaven Recovery Association to delay you, the general guarding the Imperial City, so that the assassins outside the city can succeed.”
"I have neglected my duty. I beg Your Majesty, Your Highness, to punish me!”
On this side, the First Prince, Su Yi, who had listened to the conversation, stood up like a young dragon that had woken up. The hidden dragon that had just revealed its domineering might revealed its extraordinary appearance.
"General Hu."
"Your Highness!"
"General Hu, let's not talk about your dereliction of duty for the time being. I only want to ask you one thing now."”
"How did General Hu arrange his patrol team in the past?”
"Your Highness, there are sixteen patrol teams outside the city under my command. Each team has fifty people. They patrol in eight directions, east, west, north, south, and the middle.”
"Moreover, the patrol teams are of excellent quality. Each team is led by two top-notch experts, and each of them carries a special firework bomb as a distress signal.”
Su Yi's eyes lit up slightly,"Was it the same configuration last night?"”
Hu Qing said," The Imperial City's patrol team has been like this ever since I took office. Unless I encounter a special enemy situation, I will only temporarily adjust it. Otherwise, it will be carried out according to this standard.”
Su Yi's young dragon eyes looked at the four guardians,"Do the four guardians under General Hu have the right to temporarily change General Hu's military orders?"”
Hu Qing looked at the four guardians thoughtfully, causing their scalps to go numb.
You guys were having a good chat. Why did you suddenly get angry at us?
"Without General Wu's direct order, the four town codes have the right to make adjustments to their respective territories.”
"Very good!"
Su Yi walked to the side of the four guards,"General Hu was held back by someone yesterday and could not detect the assassin. It's understandable."
Then why didn't the four of you sense it?
Even if your cultivation is not enough to detect the assassin, what about the patrol team? The patrol team was eaten by you?
Don't tell me that you guys drank too much!”
Three of the four guardians immediately turned their heads and locked their gazes on one person at the same time.
The performance of the three guardians had already pointed to something. It was him. That's right, it was him!
"You?"
Su Yi's gaze lit up,"If I remember correctly, you should be the South Gate Guardian, Liu Gu."”
Liu Gu forced a smile and said," Thank you for your kindness, First Prince. You still remember me.”
"How do you explain what happened last night?"
Liu Gu spread his hands." I didn't explain.”
"So you mean you agree?"
"I dare not deny it!"
Su Yi sighed,"Guardian of the south gate, my royal family has treated you well."”
Liu Gu said," I know, but there are some things that I can't decide.”
"What's so hard to say?"
"I dare not say it! All the blame is on me, I know I will die.”
Hmm?
He didn't dare to say anything?
In the Imperial Court, with the Emperor by his side, you dare not speak?
Was there someone in Morning Dew Hall who was more powerful than the Emperor?
Su Yi's eyes turned cold as he looked at everyone in the Morning Dew Hall.”
"Guardian Liu means that in your heart, there is someone in Morning Dew Hall who is 'bigger' than Imperial Father?”
As soon as he said this, everyone in Morning Dew Hall tensed up, afraid that they would be implicated.
