Immortal Supreme Sovereign - C88

“Then I will go with you to meet the men from the Xiao family.” The thought of standing in front of three hundred thousand men was also very exciting.

“Yes, then your highness, the Crown Prince, please follow me to the general’s platform.” As Xiao Wei spoke, he brought Han Xiao out of the tent.

As soon as they left the tent, Xiao Wei called for a soldier at the entrance and said, “Go tell the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise that they can gather on the platform after the time it takes to burn an incense stick. I have something to announce.” Xiaoxia said.

When the soldier saw the serious look on Xiao Ya’s face, he immediately turned around and ran toward the four campsite.

“Big Cousin, you just said the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise are separated according to the four symbols?” Han Xiao asked curiously.

“Yes, the Xiao family’s troops are divided into four divisions, the Azure Dragon Army formed by the Xiao family’s personal guards, the White Tiger Army formed by the people’s recruitment, the Vermillion Bird Army formed by the prisoners, and the Black Tortoise Army formed by the cultivators. The four divisions are then divided into nine squadrons which correspond to 36 Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns. As he spoke, his face was filled with pride as he spoke of the heaven-defying killing array formation.

“Then according to big cousin, no one has been able to break through the Four Symbols Derivation Formation and the Heaven Wind Killing Array?” Han Xiao asked.

“According to this humble subject’s knowledge, no one has been able to break through the Four Symbols Derivation Formation and the Heavenly Dipper Annihilation Formation.” Xiaoxia said.

“No wonder the Xiao family’s army is so famous today.” Han Xiao lamented.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince is too kind. The Battle King’s army is not any weaker than the Xiao family’s army.” Xiaoxia said.

Hearing Xiao He mention Battling Prince, Han Xiao remembered something Xiao Ba Ya had reminded him about: “Could Battling Prince be War God Han Yan Tian?”

“That’s right. Although the Battle King’s Army has not even been in existence for twenty years, the fighting strength of the Battle King’s Army is not the slightest bit weaker than that of the Xiao family’s army. There are even signs of it surpassing the Xiao family’s army.” Xiaoxia said.

“Speaking of which, I don’t know much about this royal uncle of mine. Elder Cousin, can you tell me something?” Han Xiao asked.

“Of course you can, but let’s talk while we walk, Your Highness.” Carefree Gorge estimated that everyone had already gathered together and was about to speak.

Han Xiao nodded his head upon hearing these words, and followed him towards the general’s platform.

He was the second most powerful expert among the royal family, second only to the emperor. He had a very good relationship with the emperor since he was young, and I heard that when he was young, he almost got killed by bandits when the emperor appeared, and he used his flesh and blood to block the attack. The relationship between the prince and the emperor was much better after that, and when the emperor ascended the throne, half of the Jiang Shan in the Cloud Dynasty was also fought by the king himself. Xiao Wei brought Han Xiao up to the podium and said.

“So Han Yan Tian did not have the possibility of betraying royal father, then why did he support Han Zhao?” As Han Xiao thought about what Xiao Xianxia had said, he became even more curious about how Han Zhao had persuaded him.

“Reporting to the general army, the gathering of the Azure Dragon army has been completed.”

“The Black Turtle Army has been gathered.”

“The Vermillion Bird army has gathered.”

“The White Tiger Army has been gathered.”

Just as Han Xiao wanted to hear the voices in front of him, he raised his head and saw a dense crowd of people standing at the bottom of the stage. Just as Han Xiao wanted to hear the voices in front of him, he looked up and saw a dense crowd of people standing at the bottom of the stage.

In contrast to Han Xiao’s excitement, Xiao Wei was very calm. He walked directly to the outermost part of the platform and raised the order badge Han Xiao gave him above his head. He shouted, “Do you all still remember the meaning of the order token?”

“Once the military order is given, we will move together.” The soldiers below shouted in unison. The deafening voices of the three hundred thousand soldiers seemed to pierce a hole in the sky.

Xiao Wei nodded his head in satisfaction and said, “The reason I called you here today is because of this military order. The person standing next to me is the current crown prince Han Xiao, the son of the previous empress. This order was given to him by the marshal.”

“Can I ask why the marshal suddenly handed the military order to His Highness the crown prince?” The leader of the Azure Dragon Army, Xiao Benin, stood up and asked.

“This is what I plan to say. His Highness the Crown Prince brought news that because he was dissatisfied with the fact that the Emperor had made His Highness the Crown Prince, he colluded with the people of the Devil Shadow Sect to kill the Fifth Prince, poison the Emperor, and then put the blame on his Highness. The Great Marshal had also been placed under house arrest because the Third Prince had colluded with his highness, the Crown Prince, in an attempt to usurp the throne.” Xiaoxia said.

“What? This is ridiculous! The marshal has spent his entire life fighting for the Yunming Dynasty, and now he is claiming that the marshal intends to usurp the throne. How can he accept such injustice?” Xiao Benin said with dissatisfaction.

“That’s right. If they wanted to usurp the position of the Yun Ming Empire, they would have already changed their surname. How would it even be the Xiao clan’s turn?” The commander of the Vermillion Bird Army, Jiang Yao, said with a frown on his face.

“It is precisely because of this that Han Xiao needs everyone’s help to expose Han Zhao’s conspiracy, preventing grandfather from suffering this injustice again.” Han Xiao took a step forward and said.

“Your Highness’s words are too polite. My Xiao family’s army has served the Yun Ming Dynasty in the first place. Since Your Highness has brought the military order, my Azure Dragon Army is willing to listen to Your Highness’s orders.” Benin said.

“Your Azure Dragon Army is a personal guard of the Xiao family. I don’t care about that, but my Vermillion Bird Army had joined the Xiao family’s army for the grand marshal. If you want us to listen to this wet behind the ears with just a military order, then I refuse to accept it.” Jiang Yao said as he tilted his head.

“That’s right, the Xiao family’s army has always been in the upper echelons of power. Back then, we were willing to listen to the marshal because not only did the marshal manage to open up the army, but he also had a magnanimous demeanor that we admired. Now, not to mention the crown prince, even his cultivation is only at the middle stage of the transformation, the same as my vice general.” The commander of the White Tiger Army said swiftly.

“Everyone, I know that with my strength, it will be difficult for you all to listen to me, so I do not plan on pointing out the orders and letting you all listen to me. I have already agreed to follow the rules of the Xiao family, and I am no longer the crown prince Han Xiao, I am now just a commander of the Xiao family’s small army.” Han Xiao said.

Hearing Han Xiao say this, Jiang Yao and the rest looked at Han Xiao in a new light. They thought that Han Xiao would be angry after hearing their words, or even cause a ruckus on the spot, but they didn’t expect Han Xiao to show no signs of being angry. Instead, he agreed to follow the method of the Xiao family’s army, which improved their impression of Han Xiao.

“In that case, Benin will do.” Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Han Xiao.

“I plan to go to the Vermilion Bird Army, and I believe that I’ll be able to get better training there.” Han Xiao said with a faint smile.

“Since Your Highness is willing, this humble servant shall do it.” Xiao Wei’s words were once again interrupted by Han Xiao.

“Did the army forget what I just said? I just said that I’m no longer the Crown Prince Han Xiao, I’m only a commander of a small army. So what the army does to the other commanders of a small army is fine, and I don’t need special care.” Han Xiao turned to the three hundred thousand strong army below the platform and said, “Please remember what I said today. From today onwards, I am only a commander of a small army. Whatever attitude you have towards me is for me.”

“Alright, little brat. Hearing your words, I like you a little. Chou Xin is out.” Jiang Yao said.

“Yes, this lowly general is here.” A middle-sized soldier walked out from the Vermillion Bird Army.

“From today onwards, he will be your man. You will be responsible for his actions in the army.” Jiang Yao said.

“Yes, this lowly general will not disappoint the hopes of the army.” Chou Xin said respectfully.

“Han Xiao, be careful. His family has been annihilated by the Emperor. Aside from Jiang Yao and the marshal, he doesn’t care about anyone else in the Xiao family.” Xiao Wei said to Han Xiao in a low voice.

“Yes, I know. Rest assured, army general.” With that, Han Xiao walked down from the podium and walked behind Chou Xin.

Once he was inside the army, Han Xiao felt several gazes land on him, immediately feeling a chill down his spine, though his heart remained calm on the surface.

“The situation in the middle of the court is uncertain now. All of you need to intensify your training in order to save the marshal as soon as possible.” Xiaoxia said.

“Hurry up and train! Save the marshal! Save the marshal!” This was the first time Han Xiao understood what it meant to be able to traverse the mountains and rivers, and he was even more respectful to Ba Ya.

After this matter was over, the troops returned to their own campgrounds, while Han Xiao followed the Vermillion Bird Army back to their own campgrounds.

“Chou Xin, arrange a place for Han Xiao to stay, I will arrange people for him.” Jiang Yao glanced at Han Xiao, who was following behind him, and said.

“Yes, this lowly general will go now.” With that, Chou Xin turned and left.

Seeing Chou Xin leave, Jiang Yao turned to Han Xiao and said, “The grand general should have told you, Chou Xin’s entire family was killed by your father, and in the Xiao family army, other than me and the commander-in-chief, he doesn’t listen to anyone else.”

“Yes, the Grand Army has already said it.” Han Xiao said indifferently.

“Then aren’t you curious about why I sent you to him?” Jiang Yao asked.

“The reason why the army leader wants to see Han Xiao’s strength is through Captain Chou Xin. If I can become the third person in the Xiao family’s army to be acknowledged by the army leader, will I be recognized by the army leader?” Han Xiao asked.

I’ll tell you when I tell you that more than half of the people in the Vermillion Bird Army have enmity with the Imperial Family. Even if you don’t tell them that you’re not the crown prince, no one will treat you as a crown prince. Once Chou Xin returns, you can leave with him. After saying that, Jiang Yao saw Chou Xin walking in their direction.

Han Xiao turned around to see Chou Xin nod at Jiang Yao before walking in Chou Xin’s direction.

“Your residence has already been arranged. Follow me.” Chou Xin looked at Han Xiao and said.

“Yes.” With that, Han Xiao left with Chou Xin.
