Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 174 - Give This Young Master a Chance to Make a Name for Himself?

The officials did not understand how the good news had become Yin Xu's showcase, there were people with Huo Family up there, although Huo Zhengquan did not go to court often, but his sons would definitely come if they were to be struck by lightning.

Originally, the matter within the officials had nothing to do with Huo Family, they were all happy to watch the show, but who knew that after so many twists and turns, Teng Yu would actually start plotting against their family members in front of the entire imperial court.

To think that they would provoke the Emperor with a single sentence, even making the Huo Family brothers feel embarrassed. Even their father wasn't so arrogant to go against such a huge army by himself.

Yin Xu had just finished showering and was about to train, but when he heard the order from the inner servant for him to go to the Palace, he did not think too much about it.

After changing into the official's uniform, Yin Xu followed the attendant and left. He had even thought about escaping if it was a trap.

However, he was obviously overthinking it. As he walked into the Chengde Hall s, hundreds of eyes came over to him at the same time. Yin Xu felt that he was being watched by the others like a monkey.

He saw Teng Yu, who was standing right in the middle, and thought that this must have something to do with this man.

“Cough cough, Huo Tian, someone said that you could go against an entire army by yourself, but we actually did not know that you had that kind of ability.” The Emperor said with a hint of sarcasm.

Some of the officials who were at odds with Third Prince secretly laughed, as they prepared to see the two husbands become a joke with faces full of anticipation.

Yin Xu blinked his eyes, he had even forgotten to bow. He did not know where Teng Yu had come from, but it was still necessary to be modest, “This subject has never fought against an entire army before.

“Heh …” Some people were chuckling. These words sounded as if they were sure they would win if they fought him. They were really confident in themselves. The emperor also raised his eyebrows and looked at him for a long time, “Teng Yu, tell me, how can you prove that he is able to defend against a large army? After all, we can't really let him fight against such a huge army. We can't afford to waste our time and effort. “

“What about Royal Father?”

“Since you say that he has courage and foresight, then let the entire imperial examinations result in his victory.”

“This isn't too appropriate. The civil service rules don't apply on the battlefield.” Teng Yu retorted.

“However, one cannot rely on just martial arts. No matter how strong one person's martial arts is, he can't beat ten million people.” The emperor sneered. He knew that this kid's martial arts were strong, how could he only use force.

Yin Xu listened at the side for a long time before realizing what kind of trouble Teng Yu had found for him. He was speechless, if the officials in the imperial court were to really ask him questions, he would not be able to answer any of them.

His literary standard was only slightly better than that of an illiterate person.

“The two armies will be fighting, and it will be a battle of strategy and arrangement of formations, so we might as well have Yin Xu lay down a formation, and if there is anyone in the imperial court who can break through the formation, then it will be considered his loss.”

“May I know what kind of formation is this formation?” “If you are being unorthodox, you should not have moved to this solemn hall.”

Teng Yu glanced at the person who spoke, and asked: “Has General heard of the Heaven Gate formation?”

“You mean …” This was impossible! The Heaven Gate formation is just a legendary item. Who has seen it and used it? “

“Maybe it's not up to you.” Teng Yu raised his chin confidently and gave Yin Xu a look.

Yin Xu walked to his side, his lips slightly moved, and softly said: “What are you doing? Do you want to make this young master famous? “

Teng Yu secretly pinched the center of his palm, “What do you mean, Your Highness wants to save you from the prison.”

“Hehe, where is the cage coming from?” Isn't it all because of your selfish motives? “

“Fine, I admit it.” Indeed, he didn't want Yin Xu to stay in a place that he couldn't see, especially when he was about to go on a long journey.

Although no one else could hear what they were saying, they were able to see their expressions change. This immediately caused the group of upright old officials and emperors to choke in anger.

Yin Xu took a step forward, raised his head, and asked: “Where did you set up the array? Actually, it's nothing, I don't need to use it in the main hall, and furthermore, it's impossible to use it here, so I might as well do as the Third Prince says, and set up a few simple array formations. If someone can break it, then I'll lose.

The crowd did not understand where his confidence came from. This formation had existed since the ancient times, but the one that was actually used in battle between the two armies was just a simple human formation. It was formed by soldiers in different formations and was constantly changing according to the situation.

This was not something that a general could grasp. Dispatching troops meant that this was also the case.

As for ancient formations, it was said that they could set up formations without using a single person. They could trap an army of ten thousand and turn the world around. However, those were all legends. No one had ever seen them before.

Huo Zhengquan was praised as the First Marshal. In terms of commander, no one could compare to him, but no one had ever seen him use any kind of strange array.

Where in the world did this kid get his confidence from, something that not even his father knew how to do?

“There's no point in talking any further. Let's do it, the winner of these three rounds will be decided by you, and the person who broke the formation will be decided by me. There's no need for tens of thousands of people, just choose one hundred guards from the imperial guards.”

When the Emperor said this, many martial generals volunteered themselves. They wanted to see just how capable this brat from Huo Family was.

Even Huo Yiming and the rest of the Huo Family couldn't help but want to stand out. On one hand, they were curious about the formation that Huo Tian was talking about, and on the other hand, they had their own selfish motives.

The first round of the emperor had chosen the hundred people led by the Commander Xu. Yin Xu had stayed in the palace for a period of time, so he naturally knew that these people were the cream of the crop among the imperial guards.

Yin Xu did not search very far either. Outside of the hall was a huge plaza, forget about a hundred people, even if there were tens of thousands of people, they would still be able to handle it.

The emperor brought a group of officials out of the Chengde Hall and arranged them on the high platform, then had them draw a circle on the plaza as Yin Xu's territory.

Yin Xu and Teng Yu were at the back of the group, and while no one was looking, Teng Yu took the chance to give him a bag of items.

“It seems like you were prepared. Why didn't you inform me beforehand?” Yin Xu glared at him, preparing to deal with him later.

He did not know a single thing about the deployment of troops. Similarly, there was no one in this world who knew how to use his array formation, which was probably the reason why Teng Yu was so confident in him.

“Just a small matter like this, you have enough to perform on the spot.” Teng Yu explained with a smile.

“Ha!” Yin Xu only replied him with one word, then walked down the stage towards his “territory”.

In this first round, Yin Xu was supposed to set up a defensive array inside his territory, the Commander Xu was to lead a hundred guards to attack, and if they could break through the array, they were to determine that Yin Xu had lost.

Everyone held their suspicions towards Yin Xu. Although the guards had seen Yin Xu's skills before, they had never seen him set up a formation.

Everyone's gaze followed Yin Xu's figure closely. Every step he took, everyone's gaze shifted until he stopped at their ‘territory'. Everyone stared even more intently, afraid that they would miss a detail.

Yin Xu glanced at his territory, which had a circumference of 500 meters, it was a little big.

He measured the size of the stone with his steps from the center. Everyone saw him place something like a stone on the ground every few steps. From afar, it didn't seem to have any pattern, nor did it form a special pattern.

“This really works?” Huo Yiming came to Teng Yu's side and asked him in a low voice.

“Trust him.” Teng Yu said with pride filling his heart.

Huo Yiming looked at Teng Yu in a new light. He had seen Teng Yu's determination during this period of time in his eyes. As a man, and even a prince, to be able to persevere for Huo Tian until now was already extremely precious.

However, logically speaking, he wouldn't agree to marry his younger brother out. No matter how good this man was, there was no way to guarantee that he wouldn't change his mind in the future.

Even if he didn't change his mind, he would still marry and have children in the future. At that time, the one who would suffer would still be his seventh brother.

“Have you ever seen him fiddle with formations?” The Huo Yiming asked doubtfully.

Teng Yu folded his arms across his chest, looked at the busy youth below, and coldly replied with four words: “No comment.”

“Hmph, you know how to find treasures. Actually, you didn't let Seventh Brother go just because you didn't want to lose his help, right? “How sincere are you towards him?”

Teng Yu turned to look at him, his eyes cold. “This king has not reached the point where I need to sacrifice my looks to win him over.”

“…” That made sense, the Huo Yiming rubbed his nose awkwardly.

Teng Yu's gaze swept past him and landed on Huo Yidao, and said meaningfully: “There are so many brothers in your Huo Family, it's rare that there's someone who is truly concerned about Huo Tian.”

Huo Yiming frowned, then explained unhappily: “My Huo Family have always been united, Seventh Brother was just because I was raised as a Foreign Minister and was not close with my brothers.”

“Really?” I'm afraid not. ” Teng Yu once again shifted his gaze towards Yin Xu, no longer speaking with Huo Yiming.

Huo Yiming did not understand the meaning of his words. He wanted to refute him, but he did not know where he should start from, so he could only hold in his anger and focus on Yin Xu.
