Douluo ice demon Yuhao

The news that the Sun and Moon Mission had arrived at the border of Star Luo and was heading towards the capital was sent to Star Luo City before the mission, which brought quite a shock to the imperial palace.

From the Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei to all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, no one could believe that the peaceful diplomatic request issued by Sun and Moon was actually genuine.

Since the end of the Soul Master Competition and the participating teams from the Three Kingdoms successfully escaped from Mingdu, almost all of Xingluo's intelligence personnel left in Mingdu have been withdrawn. In the past few months, Xingluo has had almost no news about Mingdu.

Known.

Not long ago, they had just learned about the death of the old Emperor Sun and Moon, and they believed that Xu Tianran would take over the imperial power and collude with the Holy Spirit Cult to plan a war together.

But no one expected that the most powerful Xu Tianran would lose in the power struggle. The newly ascended Emperor Sun and Moon was a staunch peace advocate and even made history by sending a formal mission to Star Luo for the first time.

In Xingluo Palace, Xu Jiawei, who had just finished his discussion with the ministers, took the initiative to come to the queen's palace. Looking at this beautiful woman whom he regarded as his confidant, Xu Jiawei could speak freely.

"I didn't expect all of this to be true. This is not a conspiracy by the Sun and Moon Empire to cover up the war, nor is it a short-term armistice agreement, but a thorough commitment to comprehensive peace during my reign."

Xu Jiawei still felt that everything around him was a bit unreal, and he only felt a glimmer of reality in front of his beloved queen.

Four thousand years have passed, and although the huge Sun and Moon Empire lost the Holy War, it is still a sleeping dragon entrenched in the west of the Star Luo Empire, sharpening its claws in the Mingdou Mountains from time to time.

The huge size is like a dangerous wall in front of the Star Luo Empire that may collapse at any time, so the Star Luo Empire never dares to let down its vigilance.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. At least for the next few generations, Xingluo will not have to worry about the threat of war." The Queen was sincerely happy for Xu Jiawei.

"Yes, this is really the best news I have heard since I took the throne." The joy in Xu Jiawei's eyes did not last long, and turned into a trace of worry for a rainy day, "But who can guarantee that the idea of ​​the new Sun and Moon Emperor will remain unchanged?

?Besides, if after his death, the new Emperor of the Sun and Moon becomes the main war party, it will only delay the war for a few decades."

The Queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but worrying too much will only increase your worries."

She slowly advised: "The advantage of the Sun and Moon Empire lies in soul guidance technology, so in the past few decades, Xingluo must strengthen cooperation with the Sun and Moon Empire, exchange knowledge, learn their advanced soul guidance technology, and narrow the gap between the two countries.

the gap between.”

"When the time comes, it will not be that simple if the Sun and Moon Empire wants to start a war again."

The queen's soft and quiet voice made Xu Jiawei feel happy. He smiled relievedly and heartily and said: "Haha, yes, this is a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity for me. I will have a grand banquet in the palace for the envoy of the sun and the moon.

"

White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

"What did you say?"

A surprised voice came from the mouth of a luxuriously dressed woman, who looked in disbelief at the servant in front of her who was reporting the news.

She is the wife of Duke White Tiger and the biological mother of brothers Dai Huabin and Dai Yaoheng.

"Yes, madam, this is absolutely true. The Sun and Moon envoys have arrived at the border. Your Majesty will host a banquet in the palace to entertain the Sun and Moon envoys."

The servant half-knelt on the ground, cupped his fists and said.

"I know, you can go down."

After the servants left, the duchess sat on the imperial chair, with joy overflowing from her eyes.

The Sun and Moon Empire is willing to stop the war, which means that Dai Hao no longer needs to be stationed on the western border all year round.

She stayed alone in the Duke's Palace all year round, and the only place she went to on weekdays was the palace or visiting other nobles, so she inevitably felt a sense of emptiness.

Fortunately, her eldest son Dai Yueheng graduated from Shrek Academy a few years ago. Although he is also training in the army, he can go back to visit her from time to time. But what the Duchess wants to accompany her most is her beloved husband, Duke White Tiger.

There won't be so many wars on the Western Front in the future, and she can finally get her wish.

But soon, the Duchess thought of something and her expression changed slightly.

Her identity is not only a duchess, but also a member of the Star Luo royal family.

The Duchess came from a royal family, so she naturally knew what the emperor's family had in mind.

If there is really no war in the future, can the White Tiger Duke still maintain such a high status with peace of mind?

During the holy war four thousand years ago, the Star Crown Sect was born, and the White Tiger line abdicated in favor of talents. After the Star Luo Empire changed hands to the Xu family, the White Tiger lineage was still allowed to command the three armies because they were afraid of the threat of the Sun and Moon Empire.

If one day, the Sun Moon Empire really chooses to coexist peacefully with the Star Luo Empire, how can the royal family continue to rest assured that the White Tiger lineage can command the three armies.

Even if the Xu family didn't say anything, in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, how could Duke White Tiger not be suspected of overpowering his master with his great achievements?

Even if her generation still has an in-law relationship with the royal family, what about the generation of her two sons?

A series of questions kept flashing before her eyes, and a feeling of impatience intensified in the Duchess's heart.

She is a person with deep persecution paranoia, just as she was once so worried that a maid without soul power would threaten her status.

…

The news has already spread its wings and has flown to Star Luo City, while the Sun and Moon Mission is still on its way to Star Luo City.

The Sun and Moon Mission was personally escorted by the Duke of White Tiger and a group of White Tiger soldiers. They were in no hurry. Everyone rode horse-like soul beasts and advanced along the official road in a leisurely manner, even stopping for half a day in some cities they passed.

to one day.

Except for Huo Yuhao, the other members of this mission were basically selected officials from the Sun and Moon Empire. Several Star Luo officials were serving as guides for them, carefully introducing the scenery or cities along the way.

These envoys from the Sun and Moon came to Star Luo for the first time, and they had a strong interest in the cityscape of the Star Luo Empire.

At the front of the team, Huo Yuhao did not listen to the tour guide's explanation, and he did not need to listen. He led the way on a dragon-scaled war horse. The White Tiger Duke's mount was his iconic white tiger colt, which was majestic and handsome.

Walking side by side with Huo Yuhao's horse.

Huo Qiuer listened to the explanation absentmindedly, her attention always focused on Huo Yuhao and Duke White Tiger at the front of the team.

The war horse under her was very handsome at first, but after setting off, it seemed as if it had caught wind and cold. It kept trembling along the way, and its neck was always lowered unconsciously. If Huo Qiuer hadn't pulled the reins from time to time,

, this horse may not even dare to stand up.

As they walked along, Huo Yuhao and Duke White Tiger said nothing, and there was an eerie silence between them.

Suddenly, the White Tiger Duke suddenly spoke: "Yuhao, I haven't seen you for so many years. As you grow up, I can't see your strength."

It's like I don't know how to talk, so I finally found a topic.

Huo Yuhao responded lightly: "Yes."

The White Tiger Duke added: "Not counting the hurried farewell last time, we haven't seen each other for more than five years."

Huo Yuhao took over the words softly and said: "Yes, it was exactly five years between the previous competition and the last one."

"Then count the time, you are almost an adult."

"yes."

The topic seemed to have opened up, and the two of them gradually started talking more and more.

Duke White Tiger finally asked the most puzzling question: "Why do you appear in the Sun and Moon Mission, or are you their ambassador?"

Huo Yuhao replied briefly: "While studying at Sun Moon College, I met and got to know the forbearing new emperor of Sun Moon. He was a prince who was living abroad. Xu Tianran's father originally launched a coup and killed his father to replace him.

.”

"I helped him successfully take revenge and defeat Xu Tianran to regain the throne. In order to express his gratitude, he swore in the name of the sun and the moon after he ascended the throne that he would never launch a war against Xingluo during his reign."

The current version of the story circulating in the Sun Moon Empire about Huo Yuhao and the new emperor's acquaintance is that the new emperor fled overseas and accidentally met the Beidi family. Huo Yuhao, the descendant of the Beidi family, sneaked into the Sun Moon Academy with the new emperor, waiting for revenge.

Finally, Huangtian paid off, and with the help of the Beidi family, the new emperor regained the throne.

Several other circulating story versions are roughly the same, with only slight differences in the timeline of various events. Therefore, Huo Yuhao himself also gained an identity that was respected by everyone in the Sun and Moon Empire.

After saying this, Huo Yuhao lowered his head and fell into silence. An illusory dark figure appeared in his sight.

He Caitou, to be precise, Xu He.

She assumed his identity, but also assumed his cause and effect. She still kept her original promise at Poseidon Lake, helped him complete his revenge, and dealt with the main participants in the original coup.

It sounds like a very fair transaction, and there is no need to feel any guilt at all.

Just like the greedy devil in the dark fairy tale, although the price of realizing his wish is expensive life and soul, once the deal is formed, he will always abide by the spirit of the contract and never break it.

And the generous angels and gods always selflessly send various rewards to the kind-hearted, but they have to test their humanity over and over again. Once it is discovered that they reveal the inherent sin of mankind, they must not only withdraw the rewards

, but also to take away what they originally had.

Huo Yuhao doesn't want to see angels, but he doesn't like devils either. He just wants to deal with people.

Huo Yuhao would always feel extremely melancholy every time he thought of the once honest, bald, black man.

"That's it." After hearing the explanation, Duke White Tiger nodded slightly without questioning.

It sounded like an understatement, but he believed that Huo Yuhao would face many difficulties alone in a foreign country.

"Sun Moon and I, Xing Luo, are feuding. How could the new Sun Moon Emperor be willing to withstand such great resistance and coexist peacefully with Xing Luo?"

Huo Yuhao did not explain the reason in detail, but simply said: "Didn't I have a lot of fallacies since I was a child? These fallacies just happened to convince the Sun and Moon Empire."

Duke Baihu couldn't help but fell into silence. Facing the child Huo Yuner left for him, he always felt that he owed too much.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao brought him such a surprise after not seeing him for many years.

The marshal maintained a resolute expression and said sincerely: "Thank you, Yuhao, for bringing peace to the Star Luo Empire for at least a generation."

"Peace for one generation? No, it's not enough." Huo Yuhao said coldly, "It's been four thousand years. One generation in twenty years is two hundred generations, and one generation in forty years is one hundred generations."

"I will use one generation to completely solve the problems that have not been solved for a hundred generations."

It may seem like a frivolous and exaggerated ambition, but it is full of heroic pride that is inevitable.

After another brief silence, the White Tiger Duke changed the topic.

"What's the name of the blue-haired girl in the mission?" Duke White Tiger looked sideways at Huo Qiu'er in the middle of the team.

"Huo Qiu'er."

Duke Baihu couldn't help but be stunned by this name format. He had noticed Huo Qiuer very early because of his similar appearance to Huo Yuhao, but he didn't expect that they even had the same last name.

Seeing through the doubts in Duke White Tiger's heart, Huo Yuhao said calmly: "It's just a coincidence. She was originally from the Tianhun Empire."

Is it really a coincidence?

Duke White Tiger frowned slightly and glanced at Huo Qiuer again unconsciously.

He already knew that this envoy would go out to envoy Tianhun after completing its mission to Xingluo.

Duke White Tiger took another look at Huo Qiu'er and the sickly dragon-scaled war horse below her, and hesitated:

"Do you... want to give Miss Qiu'er a war horse?"

"...No need, it doesn't matter how many horses you change."

After several days of traveling, the Sun and Moon Mission stopped in a small city not far to the west of Xingluo City today. They will spend the night here tonight and will arrive at Xingluo City tomorrow to accept the hospitality of Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei at the palace.

Hospitality.

Huo Yuhao did not sleep, but stood on the rooftop of the hotel where he was staying, looking at the sky and meditating. Huo Qiuer stood not far away with arms folded.

"Is that human being Yuhao's father?" This was the first time Bajiao saw the White Tiger Duke, and he couldn't help but curiously asked.

"Yes, Xiaoba." Tianmeng pouted and added, "It's just that the relationship between Yuhao and his father is not very good."

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "Dai Hao... can be said to be the source of all the contradictions and entanglements since I came to this world."

In public, he would address him respectfully as Duke White Tiger, but in private he would always call him by his first name.

Ice Emperor asked: "Why?"

"Because all my mother's suffering can be said to have been caused by his neglect."

"So you hate him?"

"I should hate him." Huo Yuhao said coldly, "But he is also a soldier."

"What's wrong with the soldiers?"

"The education I received has always told me that soldiers are great and noble. They sacrifice their family for everyone and protect their country. They are amazing people. Moreover, Dai Hao is indeed such a hard-blooded soldier, and he is a

A very good marshal. He is not afraid of life and death, he is self-disciplined and firm, he uses his soldiers like a god, he loves his soldiers like his sons, and there are almost no other shortcomings in his personal ethics."

Huo Qiuer took over and said: "So your education tells you that you should not hate him, but understand him. Soldiers' lack of concern for their families is also forced."

Huo Yuhao's eyes were cold and he didn't answer this sentence, but just added something.

"Even Huo Yun'er keeps saying this."

The conversations with Huo Qiuer are always smooth.

Tian Meng and Bing Xue Emperor often can only be Huo Yuhao's one-sided confidants. Only Huo Qiu'er can grasp what he really wants to express in every sentence.

He looked at the night sky, which was the direction of Xingluo City. It seemed that Huo Yun'er's spirit in the sky was there: "Perhaps my contradictory life has been settled since the beginning of my arrival in this world. No matter where I go, I seem out of place.

.”

There was another moment of silence, and Huo Yuhao turned around.

"Go back to your room. You should go see Xu Jiawei tomorrow."

At dawn, the Sun and Moon Mission continued on their way, and not long after, they arrived at Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire.

The two largest countries on the continent, which have been at war with each other for four thousand years, finally held a peace negotiation today.
