"The Fourth Highness' actions should be under His Majesty's control. His Majesty also secretly gave the Fourth Highness a push. This is because His Majesty doesn't only want to get rid of the unstable Fourth Highness, he also wants to know who is supporting the Fourth Highness. Because of this, His Majesty pretended to be deceived by the Fourth Highness. But in fact, everything is under His Majesty's control. Even if I don't appear, I'm afraid that Yellow Wind City wouldn't be in any danger. If Yellow Wind City were to fall, then the two armies would certainly rush over as quickly as possible. His Majesty wants to stimulate your greatest potential. It can be said that he isn't just testing you, he's also cultivating another War God for the Imperial Clan!"
Dao Baiying and Lang Shiping stared blankly at Crane Grass. They didn't know what to say. This was because they discovered that Crane Grass's perspective was completely different from theirs.
However, Dao Baiying quickly became excited. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Crane Grass, is what you said true?"
Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying's expression, then he smiled faintly and said, "I think it might be true. However, this is just my guess. But think about it, besides you, is there another Prince who leads an army outside? Moreover, the army you're leading is Yellow Wind City's army. You and the people here have experienced a life and death battle together. The people here are absolutely loyal to you. Brother Dao, don't you know what a taboo is for an Emperor? A Prince leading an army is a taboo. "
Dao Baiying understood what Zhao Hai meant. Indeed, for an Emperor, letting his son lead an army outside was very dangerous. This was because once a person has strength, they would also have ambition. And the person leading the army was a Prince, someone who could inherit the throne. If the Prince wanted to do something, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
Dao Baiying looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Crane Grass, what should I do now?"
Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying, then he smiled faintly and said, "This is actually very simple. What you do now is what you will do in the future. Although you control an army, the army's supplies are all provided by the Empire. Even if you have such a force, it's impossible for you to do anything. On the contrary, if you make any moves, then I can guarantee that you and His Highness would end up the same way." Dao Baiying smiled faintly and said, "You're right.
Dao Baiying stared, then he immediately calmed down. Dao Baiying looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Thank you, I know what to do now."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's good that you know. Brother Dao, remember this. What His Majesty gives to you is yours. What His Majesty doesn't give to you, you cannot compete. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Zhao Hai't... the Crane Grass. right, the Bread Tree and the mutated plants on the city walls........ and the mutated plants' of of's.... the mutated plants to the city walls walls walls.... the mutated mutated 'Mutated Mutated Crane.... you........... I want to keep them. "
When Zhao Hai heard Dao Baiying, he couldn't help but stare. Then he knit his brows and said, "Brother Dao, it's not a problem to keep the Monkey Bread Trees. As long as you take good care of them, they will grow very long. But what's the use of keeping the mutated plants on the city walls? Once the mutated plants don't turn into mutated seeds for a long time, they won't be nourished by natural energy. Then they will slowly turn into ordinary plants. What's the point of keeping them on the city walls? Moreover, the city walls are made of stone. I'm afraid that it wouldn't take long for the mutated plants to wither and become useless. "
Dao Baiying replied, "I know this point. But as long as there are plant masters protecting the mutated plants, they can survive for a long time. Now that there are a lot of plant masters in the city, there's no shortage of people who can protect the mutated plants. Moreover, I discovered that with these mutated plants, there would be fewer casualties when defending the city. Therefore, I'm planning to keep the mutated plants on the city walls. What do you think?"
When Zhao Hai heard Dao Baiying, he couldn't help but nod and said, "So it's like that. Alright, then I'll leave it to you. There's no problem with keeping the mutated plants here."
Dao Baiying nodded, then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Crane Grass, will you be returning to Horizontal Blade City in the next few days?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, we'll definitely go back. Don't forget, we have a mission. Now that our mission is complete, we'll definitely go back. After all, we're members of the Saber Guard Army."
Dao Baiying smiled bitterly, then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Crane Grass, if I ask you to come over, will you help me?"
Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying's expression, then he smiled faintly and said, "Brother Dao, don't tease me. Can you ask me to come over? It's not like you don't know what kind of place the Saber Guard Army is. Moreover, His Majesty left you here in order to train you. I'm afraid that it won't be long before you go back. Even if you do well, you'll only be given a position. How can you stay here for a long time? If you want me, His Majesty wouldn't give it to you. "
Dao Baiying smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. He was very clear about what Zhao Hai meant. Yes, Zhao Hai was right. It was impossible for Zhao Hai to come here. Not to mention his status as a Saber Guard Army member, his status as a member of the Hu Clan made it impossible for him to come here. The Emperor wouldn't feel relieved.
Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying's expression, then he smiled faintly and said, "Brother Dao, after you go back this time, I'm afraid that you won't be as relaxed as before. His Majesty might even arrange a position for you. You'll be very busy. After the war, the Wolf Soul Country's strength has been greatly damaged. They won't be able to advance south in a short period of time. Therefore, His Majesty can't always use you as the Guardian of Yellow Wind City."
Dao Baiying waved his hand, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, I've already thought it through. Alright, no matter when Imperial Father tells me to go back, I'll immediately go back. You must be tired, go back and rest."
Zhao Hai nodded, then after giving Dao Baiying a salute, he turned around and left. After Zhao Hai left, Dao Baiying turned to Lang Shiping and said, "Shiping, what Crane Grass said, do you think it's possible for it to come true?"
Lang Shiping looked at Dao Baiying and said, "Your Highness, forget what he said. Although I think that those words might come true, Your Highness must forget them. Just like Crane Grass said, the most important thing right now is to do your part. What His Majesty gives you is yours. What His Majesty doesn't give you, you mustn't fight for it." Dao Baiying nodded.
Dao Baiying's eyes turned sharp, then he looked at Lang Shiping and said, "Shiping, do you know something?"
Lang Shiping looked at Dao Baiying, then he sighed and said, "I received news from the family that the Fourth Highness's matter was pushed by His Majesty. This time, several Great Clans were implicated. Although His Majesty hasn't made a move yet, he has already begun to suppress them. Moreover, when the Fourth Highness made a move, there was no chance of success. Just as he was about to make a move, he was directly arrested by His Majesty. Therefore, Your Highness, Crane Grass' words are absolutely priceless."
Dao Baiying sucked in a breath of cold air. Then he suddenly remembered what Zhao Hai said before. He looked at Lang Shiping and smiled bitterly, "Shiping, do you remember when we met Fourth Brother with Crane Grass? Crane Grass said that Fourth Brother had the least chance to ascend the throne. At that time, I didn't believe it, but now I do."
Lang Shiping looked at Dao Baiying and smiled bitterly. He didn't speak anymore. He really didn't have anything to say. This was because Zhao Hai's words were too good. Just by looking at the Emperor's actions, Zhao Hai was able to infer the Emperor's thoughts. This ability wasn't something that anyone could have.
Dao Baiying looked at Lang Shiping and suddenly laughed. Lang Shiping looked at Dao Baiying and said, "What's wrong? Why is Your Highness laughing? "
Dao Baiying smiled and said, "Only now do I realize how right it was for me to make friends with Crane Grass back then, don't I?"
Hearing Dao Baiying's words, Lang Shiping was slightly stunned. Then he laughed out loud and said, "Your Highness is right. Being able to become friends with Crane Grass was the best decision I've ever made."
Naturally, it was impossible for Zhao Hai to know what Dao Baiying and Lang Shiping were thinking. The reason why he told Dao Baiying these things was because he felt that Dao Baiying was a friend worth making. Helping a friend solve some problems was normal. Because of this, he reminded Dao Baiying. Now it seems like his reminder was right, Dao Baiying still trusted him.
However, these days of running around made Zhao Hai feel tired. After returning to the room that Dao Baiying arranged for them, Zhao Hai placed the wooden box down. Just as he was about to sleep, he heard a knock on the door. Zhao Hai stared for a moment before he said, "Who is it? Come in, the door isn't locked."
The door was pushed open as Fat Cat carried a kettle and stood outside. Fat Cat gave Zhao Hai a salute and said, "Young Master, I've boiled some water. Do you want to drink some tea?"
Zhao Hai looked at Fat Cat and smiled faintly, "Alright, prepare some hot water for me. I want to take a bath." Fat Cat nodded and immediately began to prepare. It didn't take long before the tea was ready. Then he went to boil some water.
Before long, Fat Cat finished preparing the hot water for Zhao Hai. After taking a bath, Zhao Hai returned to his room and sat in the living room drinking tea. However, he called Fat Cat over.
The room that Dao Baiying arranged for Zhao Hai was pretty good. The room had two entrances. On the outside was a small living room while on the inside was a bedroom. This small living room could only seat about five or six people. Zhao Hai sat in the living room while Fat Cat stood beside Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai took a sip of tea before he put down the teacup. Then he looked at Fat Cat and said, "Fat Cat, what do you plan to do after returning to the Saber Spirit Country? Right, I still don't know where you're from. "
Fat Cat immediately replied, "Replying to the Young Master, I'm from Forest City. My family can only be considered a small merchant family in Forest City. Although most of the people in my family are Soul Beasts, our cultivation talent isn't very good. Because of this, we couldn't become a large family. My family's main focus is on business. My surname is Zhou, I'm Zhou Dongli."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Then what do you plan to do after returning? Do you want to return to your family and continue doing business? "
Fat Cat shook his head and said, "Young Master, I want to follow you. I ask for your permission."
Zhao Hai looked at Fat Cat and said in a very gentle voice, "Fat Cat, you should know that following me will be very dangerous. I am a member of the Blade Guard Army, and in the future, there will be a lot of dangerous missions like this. If you want to follow me, then you will have to follow me. Who knows, maybe you will die in the next mission. Do you still want to follow me?" Fat Cat looked at Zhao Hai and said with a gentle voice.
Fat Cat didn't hesitate, he immediately knelt down in front of Zhao Hai and said, "Yes, I want to follow the Young Master. I ask for your permission!"
Zhao Hai looked at Fat Cat's appearance, then he waved his hand and said, "Alright, since that's the case, then you can follow me from now on. Go, I want to rest. You should also go back and rest. I think that we'll be leaving tomorrow. Right, the bag that I got, you should take care of it. After you go back, you should deal with it and exchange it for gold notes and gold coins.
When Fat Cat heard Zhao Hai, he kowtowed three times to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master can rest assured, I'll take care of it." Then he stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai before he turned around and left.
Zhao Hai looked at Fat Cat's back and muttered, "That lucky Fatty, he might never know that his kowtows today were worth it." Then Zhao Hai smiled and took a sip of tea. Then he stood up and walked towards his bedroom.
After a good day's rest, Captain Feng led Zhao Hai and the others out of Yellow Wind City. Just as Zhao Hai thought, since they were from the Saber Guard Army, they couldn't stay in Yellow Wind City for too long. They had to return to Horizontal Blade City as soon as possible to hand in their mission. Naturally, Zhao Hai also resigned from his position as Yellow Wind City's Vice Commander. Dao Baiying also knew that Zhao Hai wasn't suitable for this position. When he appointed Zhao Hai as Vice Commander, it was because of the special situation in Yellow Wind City. In order to facilitate Zhao Hai's actions, Dao Baiying could only appoint him as Vice Commander. This was a temporary measure. Now that the matter has been resolved, it would be inappropriate for Zhao Hai to have such a position. If things go wrong, it might even bring trouble to Zhao Hai.
The group didn't travel very quickly. When they were in the prairie, they had been rushing and worried. Now that they had finally returned to the Saber Spirit Nation, they naturally didn't want to be in such a hurry. Naturally, they had to slow down. It was like a vacation.
Along the way, it took them more than ten days to return to Horizontal Blade City. When they saw the city walls, they felt as if a lifetime had passed. This time, they had been gone for several months. During this time, they had become bandits. In the end, they had brought tens of thousands of bandits with them as they roamed the Prairie. Just thinking about it made them excited.
Captain Feng looked at Horizontal Blade City and took a deep breath. Then he turned to the group and said, "Go back and settle down. Then we'll gather and hand in our mission." The group nodded. Captain Feng even looked at Fat Cat. His meaning was very clear, he wanted Zhao Hai to settle Fat Cat down.
Zhao Hai naturally knew what Captain Feng meant. He nodded. Then Captain Feng led the group back to Horizontal Blade City.
