Chapter 49 We Can Do It! Huaxia Book Library Net

  The next day at the fifth watch, Chu Hao got up and Xiao Si came to serve him. He poured water for washing his face, and while adjusting his clothes, he asked: "Those people who came yesterday, are they still standing outside the courtyard?"

  Xiao Si Dao: "As for what Xiao Wang Ye said, those few soldiers stood outside the courtyard all night. When this slave got up today, they saw that none of them had moved. Could something be wrong?"

  "If it moves even a little, the problem will be big." Chu Hao said lightly and pushed open the door to walk out.

  After finishing breakfast, Chu Hao came to the outside of the courtyard and saw nine people standing in a row, their expressions solemn and motionless. Even when they saw Chu Hao arrive, their eyes didn't blink once, nor did they glance sideways.

  He nodded and continued, "Alright, the first task is still quite simple for you soldiers who have been through battles. The second task I'm about to assign won't be as easy as this one."

  Upon hearing Chu Hao's words, Liu Li and others immediately knelt down halfway and said: "Your Highness, please instruct!"

  Yesterday, after taking the Solid Dan, they stood here for a night. Although they didn't have time to cultivate and disperse the medicinal properties completely, overall, they benefited greatly and truly felt the extraordinary effects of the Human Rank 2nd Grade Dan medicine!

  It's like Liu Li, a warrior who has cultivated his skin to the first layer, also felt that his acquired energy increased by at least three or four months of bitter cultivation! As for others, they don't need to be said, their hearts are filled with gratitude and awe towards Chu Hao at this moment!

  "I know you've been standing all night, and the medicinal properties of the elixir haven't been fully absorbed. The next task is for each of you to carry sixty kilograms of lead blocks and start training!" Chu Hao glanced at the nine people and said: "I'll go tell my father now, and soon I'll take you to the martial arts arena north of the palace, where it will be your place of cultivation from now on!"

  "Sixty kilograms?" Huang Hongjin and the others were taken aback. They had previously heard Chu Hao say that the task would be difficult, but hearing this sentence was somewhat unexpected. To know, they trained in the Longxiang Army, where it was common to carry over a hundred kilograms, and they were all at least fifth-grade warriors with great strength. Although they hadn't slept for a night, carrying sixty kilograms was really nothing to them.

  Hesitating for a moment, Liu Li said: "Your Highness, won't this task be too easy?" After finishing speaking, he carefully glanced at Chu Hao again, afraid that Chu Hao would get angry. He continued: "I'm not doubting Your Highness, it's just that the weight of the responsibility is a bit light for us subordinates. You don't need to consider our feelings, we can bear it. From yesterday on, everything will be done according to your orders."

  "You really didn't see it coming, you're quite good at being overly sentimental." Chu Hao stared at Liu Li for a while, then suddenly smiled wryly. As Liu Li was at a loss for words, Chu Hao continued coldly: "Do you think it's easy? You won't feel that way soon." After finishing speaking, Chu Hao turned around and paused again before saying: "Continue standing here, only after today's training is over can you eat!" Chu Hao said, then led Xiao Si towards the Four Paw Courtyard.

  The king did not attend court today and was having a meal in the dining hall. Seeing Chu Hao arrive, he hurriedly waved his hand to let him sit down and eat together.

  Chu Hao knew that Wang Ye had learned a lot about his recent situation through Liu Lao, so he didn't hide his true nature anymore and sat respectfully in the dining hall chair. After eating a few mouthfuls, he brought up the matter of going to the northern martial arts arena with Prince Wei Yuan.

  Chu Yunfei clamped down on his food and only then looked up at Chu Hao: "Is it because of those few Longxiang soldiers?"

  Chu Hao nodded and continued: "Yes, Your Majesty, I want to train them."

  Chu Yunfei stared at Chu Hao for a while, then asked with interest: "Why are you interested in them?"

  Chu Hao took a deep breath and said calmly: "Because I need help now, I want to restore the name of 'Little Overlord'!"

  This sentence made Chu Yunfei's face suddenly flush red, and then he heavily gasped for breath, coughing. Chu Hao was shocked, hastily stood up, patted Chu Yunfei's back, "Father King, what's wrong?"

  "I'm fine, don't worry." Chu Yunfei coughed a few times, put down his chopsticks, and waved his hand at Chu Hao. His face was flushed with excitement as he said, "Wang Er, just because of your words, Father will support you no matter what you do. Whatever you want to do, go ahead and do it, Father will always be your strongest backing!"

  A surge of warmth rose in Chu Hao's heart, he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Looking at the beaming face of his father, he felt a slight bitterness in his heart, and knelt down, saying: "Your son will not disappoint your expectations!"

  A meal, eaten in perfect harmony, with bursts of loud laughter erupting several times during the conversation.

  As he walked out of the Four Claws Courtyard, Chu Hao felt a warmth in his heart. His fists were clenched tightly as he secretly vowed that no matter whether it was for his own survival or for his aged and unfulfilled father king, he would resolutely continue on this path.

  After thinking of everything, Chu Hao returned to Lingyue Garden and brought Liu Li and others to the North Practice Martial Arts Arena. Standing in the middle of the arena, Chu Hao wore a stern expression, his hands clasped behind his back, and said: "I have issued a strict order, from now on, this martial arts arena belongs only to you nine people. Within twenty days, if you can't meet my requirements, the consequences will not be just returning to school."

  Liu Li shouted loudly: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my best and will not disappoint your high expectations!"

  The palace only had three martial arts training grounds, with nearly a thousand family guards on duty. Just to empty out one of the training grounds for the nine of them to train in, they knew that the young master was being extremely kind to them!

  Even if they are still insufficient in their cultivation foundation to advance three stages in twenty days, at this moment they still charge forward without hesitation!
