Chapter 264

Chapter 264 - You're the Only One Who Wants to be Brothers with Seventh Young Master?

“Esteemed Empress Xu, bring three hundred guards with you. Remember, you must be courteous and not disturb the families of Huo Family.” The Emperor unexpectedly instructed the Commander Xu.

Commander Xu really did not want to take on this job. Regardless of whether he could find evidence or not, he was human on the inside.

“Yes, this humble servant obeys the decree!” Commander Xu walked out of the Chengde Hall with his back straightened.

“If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come to the court today.” Yin Xu muttered to himself. Right now, all of the Huo Family were in this great hall, if he were to search for the evidence now, wouldn't he be searching for every evidence? Who knew if they would fake one themselves and say it was from Huo Family.

Huo Yiming had clearly thought of this, and stood up to speak loudly. “Your Majesty, this subject feels that it is inappropriate for Commander Xu to bring people to search, this subject humbly requests Huo Family Army to supervise!”

“General Huo, are you kidding? Could it be that the Commander Xu is still worried about him getting framed?”

“Hmph, this general didn't say that. This general naturally trusts the people of Commander Xu, but who can clearly say whether those guards are black or white?”

“This subject agrees, General Huo is right.”

“This subject agrees ...”

Huo Yiming's suggestion was very normal. Most of the officials present would not go against it.

“Since you're so worried, then pass along our decree for the three hundred Huo Family Army s to monitor the situation, but Huo Family Army s are not allowed to touch anything else.” The emperor's eyes darkened, and seeing that half of the officials had stood up to express their support, he had no choice but to agree.

“This subject thanks the lord for his grace!” The purpose of Huo Yiming was achieved, and he finally felt a bit more at ease.

Huo Yidao stood at the end of the hall. Today, he was exceptionally quiet, and after entering the hall, his head was always lowered. At this moment, both of his hands were tightly clenched within his sleeves.

He felt a chill spreading from inside to outside. He glanced up at the blurry figure on the throne, the corners of his mouth curving into a straight line.

At this point, he had no way of turning back.

It was impossible for the people who searched for evidence to return so quickly, and the Emperor had already discussed the remaining matters. The progress of the disaster relief in the south, the construction of several irrigation canals in the north, and the amount of money needed to repair the roads in certain places were all things that cost people a lot of money.

Commander Xu ordered three hundred guards to accompany him, and as soon as they left the palace gates, another person immediately moved their horses over. He explained the purpose of this trip and the things that he needed to take note of, and seeing that there were people who disapproved, he said in a deep voice: “This is a serious matter, you guys must search carefully!”

“Yes ...” The guards answered hesitantly, unwilling to do such a thing.

Within the crowd, a few ordinary looking guards kept their heads down until the group left. Although some of them looked unfamiliar, they didn't think too much about it. After all, they had just left the palace together.

The Commander Xu was seated on a horse so he naturally saw these people. After the other party secretly revealed his identity token, he knew that this trip would not be easy.

He wouldn't believe that the Emperor had planted his own Dark Guard s into the Huo Family together with him. As for whether or not it was because he was worried, he wasn't sure.

But no matter what they did, the result was still their own. What should he do?

Although he was a determined royalist, he didn't want to become enemies with Huo Family. Among the few people he admired in his life, Huo Zhengquan was one of them.

“Right!” “As expected of you.” The little guard rubbed his head with an embarrassed expression.

Inside the Huo Family Patriarch's study, a guard cried out in alarm, attracting everyone's attention. “Found him ... Commander, quickly look! “

Huo Family Army who was watching from the side widened his eyes, and rushed over to snatch it without thinking, “Where did you find it? I didn't see it at all! “

“Stop!” Commander Xu roared, and pushed the soldier away, “Impudent! If you really want to snatch it, then Huo Family is in danger!”

The soldier collapsed to the ground, “I...” I just made a mistake, how could it... How is that possible?

Commander Xu did not look at him, but extended his hand to look at the letter. Seeing that there was no special imprint or name on the cover, he angrily asked, “Have you opened it and read it?”

“Never.”

“Then how did you know it was this?” Commander Xu looked at the unfamiliar guard in front of him and his face turned green.

Thinking about this, Commander Xu's hands started to tremble, and the thin letter seemed to weigh over a thousand kilograms.

“Reporting to lord, this envelope does not have the same style as our big beam. The quality of the paper is also different. Furthermore, it is hidden in a book. This subordinate has already guessed it, how about ...” Would you like to open it and take a look? “

Was there even a need to look? Commander Xu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, what this person brought purposely was naturally real.

He put the letter away and adjusted his state of mind. Then, he said in a deep voice, “Alright, since you've found the item, you should go back to report!”

Whether it was fortune or misfortune was already beyond his control, the Commander Xu sighed silently.

Walking out of the study, Commander Xu discovered that they were surrounded by Huo Family Army, and their leader was actually Mrs. Huo.

“Madam, what do you mean by this?”

“I heard that the Lord Commander found evidence. Where is it?” Can you show it to me first? ” Mrs. Huo had changed into a new set of riding clothes and was holding a long spear in his hand.

Commander Xu had never seen a woman like this. He could not help but look at her a few more times, “My apologies Madam, this lowly one still needs to return and report. Please make way.”

Mrs. Huo gripped his spear tightly, pointed it at him, and spoke with a sonorous and powerful voice: “Commander Xu, my husband is an indomitable man, he has never done anything to let down the great pillars!”

Commander Xu thought: I believe!

“Madam, this matter will naturally come to a divine decision.”

Mrs. Huo kept her spear and retreated to the side, ordering the soldiers behind him, “Protect Commander Xu and enter the palace, do not allow anyone to come in contact with them on the way.”

Commander Xu looked at her deeply. He understood her intention, but he didn't mind her actions.

After he left, Mrs. Huo stood in the courtyard for a while and instructed the butler, “Go and call Yiloong out. There are matters at home, and as a disciple of Huo Family, he has to put in some effort.”

“Yes, ma'am.”
