The three didn't ride very fast, they just let the horses run slowly. They sat on the horses and chatted as they walked towards the city. Zhao Hai wasn't worried about his safety at all. Dao Baiying already said that the city's security was tight on the inside. If the people of the Tiger Soul Country dared to come here, then only death would await them.
As soon as the three arrived at the city's Gate of Saber, a group of horses ran towards them. When Dao Baiying saw this group of horses, he immediately stopped. His expression wasn't very good.
Zhao Hai stared, then he carefully looked at the group of horses. This group was made up of 20 horses. At the front was a tall red horse. It looked very handsome. On the horse's back was a young man wearing bright yellow clothes. This person looked to be 27 or 28 years old. He was only a few years older than Dao Baiying. However, he was very handsome. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Dao Baiying's.
Upon seeing this person's appearance and clothes, Zhao Hai immediately judged that this person must be a member of the Imperial Family. He was also a Prince. Moreover, it seems like he was more favored than Dao Baiying.
When the other party saw Dao Baiying, he didn't give Dao Baiying a chance to escape. He rode his horse and rushed towards Dao Baiying. When he was about ten steps away from Dao Baiying, he stopped and looked at the three people. His gaze lingered on Zhao Hai for a while.
Zhao Hai couldn't help but frown. He didn't like this person's gaze. There was a trace of evil in this person's eyes. At the same time, there was also a trace of arrogance. It made people feel very uncomfortable.
At this time, the other party said to Dao Baiying, "My good Seventh Brother, you still haven't graduated from the Sovereign Saber Pavilion? Really, look at me. I'm already starting to share Imperial Father's burden. But you're still staying at the Sovereign Saber Pavilion. I really don't know why you're still there. Do you still want to win over people? "I think you'd better not waste your time. Those who remain in the Saber Sage Pavilion are all people that the major clans look down on. Even if you win them over, what can they do for you? I think it's better for you to quickly graduate and get a position. That way, you might be able to compete with me. If you continue like this, you won't even have the qualifications to compete with me. "
Dao Baiying looked at him and said, "Fourth Brother, I don't know what you're talking about. It's just that my grades aren't good and I'm not confident that I can graduate. Who are you trying to recruit? Fourth Brother, you must be joking."
Upon hearing Dao Baiying, Zhao Hai knew the identity of this person. This person was the Fourth Prince, Dao Baixiong. Although his name sounded imposing, he was actually very handsome. Moreover, one shouldn't be fooled by his handsome appearance. Dao Baixiong was listed as one of the princes that the Hu Clan didn't want to interact with. This was because this person was greedy and lecherous. He wasn't strong, but his mind was very insidious. Moreover, this person was narrow-minded and vengeful. He was the prince that the Hu Clan hated the most.
Although Dao Baixiong looked very impressive in the Saber Spirit Country, he had already begun to listen to the Emperor's orders. Moreover, he was also given a position in the Ministry of Revenue, managing a lot of the country's finances. However, in the eyes of the Hu Clan, he was the least likely person to become the next Emperor. This was because the old Emperor didn't like him. Although he looked impressive on the surface, there weren't many clans that supported him. To put it bluntly, he was just a paper tiger.
When Dao Baixiong heard Dao Baiying, he couldn't help but snort. Then he turned his head to look at Zhao Hai. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and laughed, "This must be the Hu Clan's disciple, Crane Field. This Prince has been wanting to meet you for a long time, but I didn't have the opportunity. I didn't expect to see Mister here. This Prince is truly fortunate."
Zhao Hai cupped his fist towards Dao Baixiong and said, "Crane Field has seen the Fourth Highness. Originally, I should have been the one to greet you. However, there have been a lot of things going on recently, so I didn't have the time. I hope the Fourth Highness can forgive me."
Dao Baixiong smiled faintly and said, "Forgive? What's there to forgive? I know that the Hu Clan's rules are very strict. Moreover, Mister came to the academy to study, so naturally, he wouldn't run around. Is this Prince right?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "What the Fourth Highness said is right."
When Dao Baixiong saw that Zhao Hai didn't refute him, he didn't say anything else. He was very clear that the Hu Clan had always been neutral in the War of the Princes. They were only loyal to the King. No matter who became the King, the Hu Clan would follow him. Because of this, even if Zhao Hai and Dao Baiying were very close, Dao Baixiong wasn't surprised. After all, the Hu Clan wasn't Zhao Hai.
Although Zhao Hai didn't refute him, Dao Baixiong also didn't respond to his words. So he stopped paying attention to Zhao Hai. Instead, he turned to Dao Baiying and said, "My good Seventh Brother, you're 24 years old today. I really don't know how long you want to hide in the Sovereign Saber Pavilion. Forget it, if you want to hide there, then hide there. In any case, the Imperial Family will give you food to eat in the future. You won't starve to death. Hahaha. "After Dao Baixiong said that, he laughed loudly as he rode his horse away. The cavalry that followed him also swaggered away. Nobody even gave Dao Baiying a salute.
Dao Baiying's face was ashen as he watched Dao Baixiong leave. It was no wonder that his expression was so ugly. It must be known that Dao Baiying, whether it was in terms of character or talent, was much better than his fourth brother. But now, he was still in the academy, while his fourth brother had already become an official in the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue was a department in charge of money, a lucrative position.
Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying's expression, then he smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong, Brother Dao? Are you angry? "
Dao Baiying let out a long breath, then he said, "How can I not be angry? I have brothers who graduated from the academy when they were my age. Moreover, they were already working in various departments. But look at me, I'm still in the academy. My Imperial Father doesn't want me to graduate. Sigh, I don't know what Imperial Father is thinking."
Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying, then he smiled faintly and said, "Brother Dao, what do you think? Do you want to inherit the throne in the future? "
When Dao Baiying heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he couldn't help but look at Zhao Hai. This was because Zhao Hai's question was somewhat disrespectful. Naturally, it wasn't disrespect to him, it was disrespect to the Emperor.
Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying's expression, then he smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Dao. I don't have any ambition for power. I just want to be a good Plant Master. Therefore, His Majesty doesn't have enough deterrence for me."
When Dao Baiying and Lang Shiping heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was just as Zhao Hai said. No matter how powerful the Emperor was, he didn't have any deterrence for a Plant Master who didn't have any ambition. This was because the Emperor didn't care about him.
Dao Baiying sighed and didn't speak. However, Zhao Hai already understood what he meant. Which Prince didn't want to be the Emperor in the future? Dao Baiying was the same. He also wanted to be the Emperor, he wanted to sit in that supreme position.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Brother Dao, you don't need to worry too much. It's not necessarily a good thing for someone like the Fourth Prince to enter an important department of the country early on. If he can be as pure as water, then it's fine. But if he really dares to reach out, then his life is over."
When Dao Baiying heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Oh? What do you mean? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I just think that His Majesty shouldn't like people who embezzle the wealth of the people."
Dao Baiying smiled bitterly, then he let out a long breath and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's go to the city and have a drink." Then he patted his horse's belly and the group headed towards the city.
Before long, the three entered the city and found a restaurant. Dao Baiying ordered a table full of food and drinks. The three ate and drank heartily. Because Dao Baiying wasn't happy, he drank two more cups and got drunk before long. Lang Shiping sent Dao Baiying back to his residence. Meanwhile, Zhao Hai had already returned to the academy.
When Zhao Hai returned to the Pine Forest Residence, there was no one inside. This made Zhao Hai surprised. However, he didn't care too much about it. He directly returned to his room and prepared to have a good sleep.
While hiding on his bed, Zhao Hai pulled his spiritual force into his Soul Object Space. The golden energy inside the Soul Object Space had already disappeared. The natural energy that he lost was also replenished. However, that little thing was still sleeping, she didn't seem to have any intention of waking up.
Zhao Hai didn't care about her anymore. His spiritual force withdrew from the Soul Object Space. Then he closed his eyes and laid on the bed. Before long, he fell asleep. What Zhao Hai didn't know was that Dao Baiying wasn't drunk. After returning to his residence, he woke up.
Dao Baiying and Lang Shiping were sitting in his study. Dao Baiying looked at Lang Shiping and said, "Shiping, what do you think Crane Grass said today? Is it a hint to me? Or does the Hu Clan want to lean towards me? "
Lang Shiping shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like it. Your Highness should know that the Hu Clan doesn't participate in the struggle for the throne. Therefore, what Crane Grass said couldn't have been done by the Hu Clan. I'm afraid that he didn't have any intention of hinting to Your Highness. I think that he was just expressing his opinion. He thinks that it's impossible for the Fourth Highness to ascend to the throne."
Dao Baiying looked at Lang Shiping and said, "Why? What do you think? Do you think that it's possible for my Fourth Highness to ascend to the throne? Among us brothers, Fourth Brother is the most popular. He's in the Ministry of Revenue, the place that manages money. "
Lang Shiping shook his head and said, "I don't think it's possible. The Fourth Highness is very popular right now. But just like Crane Grass said, he's in the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue is the place that manages money. If the Fourth Highness doesn't reach out for money, then it's fine. But if he does, then with His Majesty's temper, he wouldn't let him off. But look at the Fourth Highness right now. He's arrogant and despotic, and his life is incomparably extravagant. Is it possible that he didn't reach out for money in the Ministry of Revenue? It can be said that this is enough to make the Fourth Highness lose the qualifications to ascend to the throne. As for why His Majesty still has the Fourth Highness in the Ministry of Revenue, I don't know. Perhaps His Majesty has his own considerations. "
Dao Baiying quietly listened to Lang Shiping. After Lang Shiping finished, Dao Baiying let out a long breath and said, "I hope so."
