Chapter 177
Chapter 177 - Personal Privacy No Comment!
More and more people started to go crazy. At the beginning, there were people trying to stop them, but by the time more than half of the people started attacking the people around them, the situation had already become uncontrollable.
Seeing the generals fall one by one, the emperor's expression turned ugly. He really did not expect this stage to be like this. It was as if a piece of white paper had been put in and dyed black when it came out. It was repulsive.
“Enough, remove the array.” The Emperor was in no mood to see it. Such a fratricidal scene would only add to the joke.
Yin Xu chanted an incantation and everyone watched as the array flag flew out from the ground and into Yin Xu's hand.
The few people who were in the middle of fighting suddenly woke up. After seeing what they were doing, they broke out in a cold sweat.
“I… What's wrong with me? “
“Second Prince …” “This …”
Second Prince was also shocked speechless. When he looked at the stage, he could only see from afar that everyone's faces were ugly. The emperor was even holding his head up while feeling tired.
Clearly, they had lost.
Furthermore, he lost in an inexplicable manner.
A few military officers who had fainted lying on the ground, the emperor ordered Lai Jiquan. Immediately, a guard went down to carry away the unconscious and injured people.
Second Prince was not bad. Although he was injured, he could walk and jump.
He slowly walked up the stage and knelt in front of the emperor. “Royal Father, your son is useless.”
“Enough, it has nothing to do with you.” The emperor wasn't someone who would vent his anger. Even though he lost miserably, he didn't intend to blame them.

Second Prince turned around, faced Yin Xu, and asked solemnly: “Instructor Huo, please dispel my doubts, what is the principle of this formation?”
Yin Xu shrugged and replied dryly, “Privacy, no comment!”
Although his words were unpleasant, they were understandable. After all, it was a personal skill, so no one could force him to say it out loud.
They had already won two of the three rounds. It was clear that Yin Xu had won.
Teng Yu stood up and said: “Since you have won, then this son will bring Huo Tian back today. This son will leave for Jiangnan tomorrow.”
“Wait!” The Emperor raised a hand to stop him.
“Is there anything else the Royal Father can teach you?” Did he change his mind? Knowing Yin Xu was a talent that refused to let him go?
In that moment, Teng Yu regretted it. He shouldn't have pushed Yin Xu in front of others, he shouldn't have kept such a good treasure for himself.
The emperor did not look at him, his sharp eyes stared at Yin Xu, “Huo Aiqing, why don't you set up the third array as well, let everyone experience it.”
When everyone heard this, they all agreed. That's right, it's about to be set. They hadn't seen enough.
“Is that necessary?” Teng Yu frowned and retorted.
“I don't force Huo Aiqing to hand over such a treasure. I just want to see if there are any formations that I can't think of. I believe that I am familiar with military tactics and have some understanding of the arrangement of troops, but I have never heard of such formations. I hope that Huo Aiqing can give me a chance.”
Of course Teng Yu didn't agree. He was already pained to have Yin Xu show his two hands, he couldn't possibly let him take out all the treasures he had.
Yin Xu tugged at him, walked up and said: “Since it is a request other than a wager, then what benefits does it have?”
“…” The crowd was in an uproar. There were actually people who dared to ask the emperor for benefits in front of them. Their courage was too great.
“Haha …” “Tell me, what do you want?”
Yin Xu thought about it seriously, “Going to Jiangnan is fraught with danger. Previously, Third Prince was willing to give up on the five hundred bodyguards for this subject, but this subject knows his limits, and is afraid that he might not be able to protect the Third Prince. Why not give the five hundred bodyguards to this subject?”
“Your Majesty, this cannot be done!” There were people who maintained their clarity of mind. Once Yin Xu said this, there were people who refuted him.
The rest of the officials reacted by kneeling down one after another to persuade him against it. “Your majesty, Commander Huo is speaking so arrogantly. His thoughts are impure. You absolutely cannot set such a precedent.”
“Your majesty, once this precedent is set, everyone will follow it. Who would be willing to be selfless and become a commoner in the future? Everyone has already made such a request out of a small amount of talent. It's really inappropriate.”
“Yeah, if these five hundred people are gifted to Huo Tian, they'll become private troops for Huo Family. Even if it's a prince, they'll only be able to raise up to five hundred palace guards at most. This Huo Tian is clearly asking for an exorbitant price.”
To be able to get five hundred guards from a casual word, he truly did not know the limits of the heavens.
The emperor stared straight at Yin Xu, “You heard it too, this is simply impossible. We can only agree to send you all 500 guards on this trip, sending you all away is impossible.”
Yin Xu also knew that it was unlikely, and just as he was about to refuse, he heard the emperor say, “But … “If you are willing to hand over all of these formations to us, we can promise to give you a hundred guards.”
“Your Majesty …”
“There's no need to speak further. Our intentions are firm, and all our loved ones have also seen it. Huo Tian's formation is something that has never been seen before, and if it could be used on the battlefield, it would probably save countless of lives. A mere hundred guards is nothing.”
Yin Xu's expression was a little strange. He sincerely said, “It's not that I'm not willing to teach you, but the secret behind this formation is not something that can be done with just a diagram. This subject is also unable to explain it clearly. “
“What do you mean?” The emperor leaned forward and looked into Yin Xu's eyes, not giving him any chance to lie.
Yin Xu did not need to lie about this, “Back then my master taught me all of this, he said that only a fated person would be able to have its use, and anyone would be able to lay the array, but it is not something that can be used just because the array is ready, it depends on the talent and perception of the person who laid the array.”
“Hmph, it's obvious that they are evading the topic.” Some people did not believe it, but how could there be such a profound matter? You, Huo Tian, are the only one with the most comprehension in the entire world, how could the countless citizens of the Da Liang Empire not be able to find one with the most comprehension?
Yin Xu glanced at the person who spoke, “If this lord doesn't believe it, he can find someone to try.”
“Who knows if you will mess with the array?”
“Believe it or not!” Yin Xu snorted coldly, too lazy to speak anymore.
The Emperor hesitated for a long time before saying, “How about this, my beloved one, draw the formation first. I'll find someone to study it. As long as one person learns it, I'll give you 100 guards.”
“Nope, who knows how long it will take to find this person.” Besides, who knows if the Emperor would intentionally conceal the truth and say that he didn't find it?
“How dare you!” An old voice came out, and then the old man walked out and said, “Huo Tian, this formation is related to the lives of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border, how can you use it to make a deal? The loyal king of the Marshal Huo who loved his people, had actually given birth to such an unfilial and unfilial son like you! “
“I don't understand Inferior Prime Minister's words. Huo Tian said before, even if there isn't someone who can arrange arrays, it is useless. Also, who said that if there is a treasure in the family, they must present it? A few days ago, there were even small countries at the border requesting a marriage alliance. It would be good if we could get Qin and Jin together, why not Inferior Prime Minister offer up his precious granddaughter as well, it can still save the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. “
Yin Xu finally realised that this old man was the Grandpa Yue that the emperor had found for him. He had it in his head, but unfortunately, he was already old and couldn't understand the situation.
“Third Prince's words are too biased, how can people and objects compare, the objects are dead, such an exquisite formation is beneficial to the country and its citizens, it should be passed down for 100 generations, is there any benefit for Huo Tian hiding it?”
“It's not good to hide it, so isn't he exchanging it for something else?” There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, even the food grown by farmers could be exchanged for money. Wasn't it inappropriate for Huo Tian to use such an important and precious treasure to exchange for something? If there were no benefits, who would be willing to take out their treasured items? Do you think everyone's stupid? “
“For Your Highness to help Huo Tian and force him to reason with you is truly dishonorable!” When Inferior Prime Minister thought about the ambiguous relationship between these two, he felt that it was not worth it.
He didn't have the courage to defy the decree, so he could only obey the decree. However, if he had to marry his precious granddaughter to someone who was entangled with men, he would rather not have his granddaughter marry out of marriage.
“I am only speaking the truth, Inferior Prime Minister is too agitated.” Teng Yu glanced at the old man, and thought: “The reason the Emperor chose your daughter, is because he doesn't like you.”
In order to prevent the Emperor from doing anything when he and Yin Xu were not in the capital, he had to make arrangements for the granddaughter of the Inferior Prime Minister.
Since that's the case, Huo Tian will hand over the array diagram first and the person will give it to you first. Once you return from Jiangnan, I hope that you can hand over the essence of the formation to the people we choose.
“This subject still has the same line. I can teach them, but whether they can learn it or not has nothing to do with me.”
The emperor gritted his teeth. “Fine, it's a deal. The third formation …”
Yin Xu stood up, and set up a formation in the side hall next to the Chengde Hall. After coming out, he smiled at the people who were waiting: “If you want to know the power of this formation, then go ahead and try, but I have my own words first. This is a killing formation, if you are injured or crippled, if you die or if you are crippled, don't come find me.”
He turned to the emperor and asked, “Your majesty, may I leave the palace today?”
How could the Emperor have the heart to bother with him? He waved his hand and let him go. He stood at the entrance of the side palace hall, pondering over who should enter first.
Lai Jiquan rolled his eyes and volunteered: “Your Majesty, let this old servant have a try.”
