Chapter 38 Little King is tall and big and hard

  The nine big men who came out with Chu Hao and Sun Haoran were all former soldiers of the Longxiang Army, because they disobeyed their superiors, so they were made into spearheads, demoted to the schoolyard of General Sun's mansion, waiting for reorganization.

  The Dragon Soaring Army has always been the strongest unit of the Cloud Heaven Empire, stationed at the northern border all year round. It is precisely because of this nearly 30,000-strong Dragon Soaring Army that the Maya Empire's attacks have been repeatedly thwarted.

  And this iron-blooded army, the military symbol is controlled in Sun's hands, so there are also such rumors among the upper ranks that as long as Sun Yue doesn't die, Prince Weiyuan will not fall.

  The prince and the emperor's differences have been growing over the years, many people have seen it, and in recent years, the prince has been losing power, Sun family's Longxiang Army and the Ministry of War's Wang family have become Prince Chuyunfei's last two trump cards.

  The emperor hesitated to take action, fearing the wrong move.

  Of course, these secrets are only known to the top officials, and those below cannot reach that level. However, Chu Hao has been in this world for more than half a month now, with the memories of the crown prince's mind and his own deductions, he can touch one or two, and infer a few points of danger within.

  In the general's mansion, there were probably over two hundred soldiers like him, all of whom had been to battle and were robust and valiant men. Although they maintained the proper etiquette and respect towards Sun Hao Ran, this son of a general, in their hearts they looked down on him slightly.

  Moreover, there was a notorious young master Wang in the capital by his side, so when Sun Haoran found them in the schoolyard that morning and asked for their help, they were naturally unwilling.

  Don't joke around, you are a true warrior who has been to the battlefield and experienced the baptism of blood and fire, with the pride that a dragon-like general should have. How can you be a pawn for those spoiled brats to fight over?

  At that time, Sun Haoran was also helpless and didn't understand how the young master thought of using people from the school. Although these people were skilled with their hands and had strict mouths, each one was not a good person to get along with.

  Sun Haoran had also considered having the soldiers here as his own guards, but these barbarians didn't buy into being led by a general's son, so it hadn't worked out.

  Unfortunately, neither Sun Haoran nor anyone else expected that Chu Hao would perfectly call out nine people thirty minutes later and have them follow him willingly to act as his henchmen.

  Seeing this scene, Sun Haoran almost dropped his jaw.

  At that moment, Sun Haoran's admiration overflowed, and he secretly thought that the "Little Overlord" of years past was indeed not to be underestimated. With one move, he had shaken the eight directions! Even these stubborn and unyielding military leaders were subdued.

  However, Chu Hao, although smiling on the surface and calmly accepting Sun Haoran's admiring gaze, was actually in great pain at heart.

  Damn it! Nine solid pellets gone just like that? That's a waste of silver!

  These soldiers were idle in the schoolyard, training, and usually had nothing to do, just waiting for the day when orders came from above, and then re-entering the battlefield. Chu Hao quietly called one of them, pretending to be King Wang's envoy, but that person refused to obey, saying that he must see King Wang and the general, otherwise taking action on his own would be a violation of military discipline, and he was not worthy of being a soldier in the Longxiang Army!

  However, after Chu Hao took out another Solid Dan, the man immediately threw aside Jun Ji and Long Xiangjun's proud bones and called over eight familiar men from the school. This big Han put the Solid Dan in his arms and said with a straight face: "Young Master Wang, this time we are doing it because of Sun General and Master Wang's face, plus it is to teach those spoiled brats to give the common people an outlet for their anger, so we will take action. But just this once, don't make it a habit!"

  Chu Hao cursed in his heart, but had to smile and say: "The generals are indeed bold and heroic, this will not be a precedent, this will not be a precedent."

  Then, he dispatched Xiao Si and Chu Hao sent these people to investigate.

  Although these people are the most arrogant in the military, they are still soldiers who can enter the Dragon Soaring Army. After half a day, they first locked onto Nan Gong's fat son. Only after creating a fake image of himself in Sun Haoran's mansion did Chu Hao bring out a group of people, which led to this good show today.

  At this moment, the night color is about to thicken, Chu Hao looked at the sky and kicked Nan Gong Jie, hehe said: "Nan Gong fat man is really useless, let's go, we continue to the next target."

  Sun Haoran heard this and immediately threw away the tension he had just now, thinking that it had been a long time since he had felt so refreshing. He excitedly said: "Yes sir! We will follow Young Master Wang's pace, uphold the king's way of one fist and two feet, and do well every task assigned by Young Master Wang."

  "Well said!" Chu Hao's spirit was greatly lifted, and he said: "Next is the martial artist named Jiang Zhi who supports the eldest prince!"

  "Jiang Support?" Sun Haoran had never heard of this name before and asked: "Who is that?"

  "Hmph, you're just another guy who doesn't know when to stop!" Chu Hao snorted, his broad axe at the ready: "Let's go!"

  ……

  That night, in various corners of the capital city, there was a great commotion, with several young officials being beaten up one after another.

  After nightfall, this group of people who were marked as the young prince finally returned to the General's Mansion School with caution. Sun Haoran thought about everything that happened during the day and turned his head to look at the nine big men standing behind him with their chests out, and he really had a feeling of being a general. Standing firmly on the empty ground, he shouted loudly: "You say, was the young prince's plan today brilliant or not?"

  The big men who had received benefits today also passed their addiction, and suddenly they all said: "High!"

  Sun Haoran continued: "Is the coverage of Little King Wang big or not?"

  The roar grew louder: "Great!"

  Sun Haoran clenched his fist: "Is Young Master Wang's fist hard or not?!"

  "Hard!"

  Sun Haoran nodded in satisfaction, then walked over to Chu Hao's side, with his hands behind his back, and said: "Hey, what do you guys think of Little King Wang?!" The crowd cheered loudly: "Little King Wang is tall, big, and hard!!"

  "Get out!" Chu Hao's expression became stranger and stranger, until he finally couldn't bear it anymore and cursed, kicking Sun Haoran's butt. Sun Haoran chuckled and dodged away, his eyes then turned sharp as he ordered the nine soldiers: "Today's events are not to be leaked out even a bit, you should know what to do as military men!"

  "Got it!" Those people stood up straight, then dispersed with a swoop under Sun Haoran's gesture, and went back to the schoolyard to start training, each busy with their own.

  Seeing this, Chu Hao nodded. Sun Haoran had beaten five or six people in a row today and was extremely pleased, feeling very satisfied. Seeing Chu Hao's action, he quickly said with pride: "How about it, Brother Hao? I didn't do too badly today, did I? How many points am I short of becoming a great general?"

  "It's almost perfect." Chu Hao said solemnly: "However, there is still one thing you haven't done well."

  Sun Haoran was taken aback and thought carefully before speaking: "What is it?"

  "I've already taken a dump, but to make the little prince willingly put the dump on his head, there's still one more thing...” Chu Hao smiled slyly and before Sun Haoran could react, he punched him in the face: “It's just letting Little Wang beat you up again!”

  The auction of Tao Ran's residence is still one day away, but this news has spread throughout the entire capital.

  Not only did high-ranking officials and nobles know about this matter, but even some common children and women on the streets were aware of it!

  As the giant of the entire continent's auction house, Taoranju is going to bring out some rare and precious treasures again!

  Although Tao Ran's words were vague and not very convincing when promoting, in the capital city, it was still rumored that this auction would have elixirs that could nourish skin and blood, retain youth, and even top-grade elixirs that could enhance martial artists' cultivation. There were also rumors of master craftsmen forging top-grade weapons that could only be used by those who had reached the Pre-Heavenly stage!

  The news about these auction items was allegedly leaked by an insider from the Tao Ran Ju, who originally planned to hold a low-key auction. However, once the news spread like a hurricane throughout every corner of the capital city, the person in charge flew into a rage and expelled the leaker from the Tao Ran Ju.

  Although everything is hearsay and it's unknown whether it's true or false, rumors are the things that can grasp people's hearts the most, and also the clever means of propaganda for Tao Ranju.

  Almost all of the top masters who didn't take this auction seriously are now eagerly waiting for tomorrow's auction.

  Along with the news of Taoranju's auction of rare treasures spreading throughout the capital, another piece of news also spread overnight and became a joke among the common people and officials in the capital.

  This news is that yesterday afternoon to dusk, six officials' sons were beaten by a mysterious group of thugs in different streets of the capital. Among these six people, those with higher status include Nan Gongjie, the grandson of the Minister of Revenue, and Zhou Qing, the son of the Deputy Minister of Personnel, while those with lower status even included Jiang Chi, an eighth-rank military officer.

  But without exception, these people were all around the princes, including the eldest prince, the sixth prince and the ninth prince.

  A few days ago, the imperial court had just issued a joint memorial by Prince Wei and the Ministry of War, impeaching the Zou family. Who would have thought that after such a short time, another incident would occur? It seems that the Zou family cannot avoid being pushed to the forefront again.

  In the imperial palace, the Yanqing Palace where the young prince Chudong Liu is located.

  This Yanqing Palace was originally called Ganling Palace, and the emperor specially ordered people to renovate it for the young prince. The renovation started when Chudongliu was ten years old and was completed last year, after which Chudongliu moved in. The emperor's favoritism towards the young prince can be seen from this.

  At this moment, in the winding corridors and small pavilions of Yan Ge Palace, Chu Dongliu was frowning, holding a letter paper in his hand.

  The contents of the letter were exactly the message that was passed on to him by the person below, and everything that happened yesterday was recorded on it. Unfortunately, however, they did not find that group of people, nor did they get their true identities.

  He tossed the letter onto the table, Chu Dong furrowed his brow and thought for a while. From what he could see, that mysterious group was using his name, although the six injured people were only lightly wounded, all the blame would be shifted to him.

  But who did it after all? Was it the eldest brother or the sixth brother, or was it another imperial brother?

  The truth is clear and obvious, but at this point it doesn't matter who did it. The key point is that even if everyone knows it wasn't their doing, the princes and their supporters will still make a big deal out of it!

  Commander Sima Zou's family managed the city defense army, and the security and investigation of the capital were all carried out by them.

  The Zou family is a relative of the current Empress Zou's natal family, and the eldest prince is the biological son of Empress Zou. Recently, Chu Dongliu has been favored by the Emperor, so the eldest prince and the Empress will not let go of this opportunity.

  Sometimes, being in this position means having to face these open and hidden attacks.

  At this point, Chu Dongliu called over his trusted aide Xiao Chunzi and instructed him to fetch two wooden swords and one iron sword, then notified Mr. Wu Donghan to come over for a chat.

  After handling it properly, he leaned against the stool and waited for the two princes to come and ask questions on behalf of each of the young masters. At the same time, he closed his eyes to rest his mind and pondered in his heart who was behind this play and what their intentions were.

  However, contrary to the young prince's expectations, the first person he waited for was not the sixth prince and the eldest prince who came to interrogate him, nor was it Wu Donghan, but rather Chu Hao and Sun Haoran, both with furious faces!

  Hehe,
