The First Test of Father-in-law
After leaving the Hall of Intelligence, Qin Hao followed Xiao Ming to the Imperial Martial Hall.
Along the way, they met patrolling guards who bowed respectfully to Xiao Ming. Only when Xiao Ming and Qin Hao were far away did the guards continue their patrol.
It was enough to prove that Xiao Ming's position in the palace was not ordinary.
However, after walking for a while, Qin Hao noticed that the surroundings were getting quieter and quieter, and they met fewer people.
This was not normal.
If he guessed correctly, Xiao Ming was leading him to a side path.
"Uncle, you are Xiao Ming, right?
I heard the guards call you that just now. May I ask, where are you taking me? "Qin Hao could not help but ask.
"We will take a small path and enter the Imperial Martial Hall from the back door!" Xiao Ming said frankly, dispelling Qin Hao's suspicions.
"Why can't I go through the front door when Emperor Xiao wants to see me?" Qin Hao stopped and his face darkened. Is he looking down on me?
"Qin Hao, your identity is very special.
You should know what Northern Yan and Northern Qi will think if Emperor Xiao wants to see you in private.
What will Murong Zijun and Qi Yuan think?
What will the people of Medicine Emperor Pavilion and Zhanyue Mansion think? "Xiao Ming stopped and said," Also, do you know Xiao Guang?
I am his teacher! "
Xiao Guang was the leader of the four statue-like knights who accompanied Xiao Han to the Blue River Mountain.
When Qin Hao disguised himself as Li Bai, he had met Xiao Guang. Xiao Guang was extremely loyal to Xiao Han.
As the teacher who nurtured Xiao Guang, Xiao Ming only wanted to tell Qin Hao that he would not harm him.
"I understand!"
Qin Hao sighed and continued walking.
During the Imperial Martial Competition, it was not appropriate for him to meet Emperor Xiao openly. It would make it seem like his father-in-law was giving him special treatment. If word got out, the outside world would gossip.
There was nothing wrong with Emperor Xiao's way of doing things, and he did not look down on Qin Hao.
Seeing Qin Hao continue to follow, a trace of treachery flashed in the corner of Xiao Ming's mouth. He concealed it extremely well as he thought to himself, "Others are gossiping?
Emperor Xiao is not afraid of those bastards.
Qin family boy, there is something fun waiting for you! "
After leading Qin Hao to the back door of the Imperial Martial Hall, Xiao Ming did not even give Qin Hao a chance to thank him before Xiao Ming hurriedly turned and left.
At this moment, there was a narrow door in front of Qin Hao.
In front of the small door stood a tall and sturdy man. He was as tall as Qi Da Xiong, perhaps even taller than Qi Da Xiong.
The giant man's body was too big. His upper body was bare, and his frightening fists were wearing iron gloves. He leaned against the door frame, completely blocking the door. Accompanied by a snoring sound that entered Qin Hao's ears, he understood that there was someone dozing off in front of him.
Was Was Was Was Was?.
"Friend, please make way!" Qin Hao said in a low voice.
The Big Xiong did not respond at all and continued to snore.
"Friend, please move!" Qin Hao raised his voice.
However, the Big Xiong who was blocking the door still had his eyes closed. His arms were crossed as he slept soundly. Sparkling saliva was even dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Sorry, I was rude!"
Qin Hao felt that as long as the Big Xiong was not deaf, he should have been woken up long ago. It was obvious that he was pretending to be asleep.
In that case, he had no choice but to take action.
While speaking, Qin Hao used his hand to pull the Big Xiong, trying to pull him to the side.
However, the Big Xiong did not budge.
This surprised Qin Hao slightly. He knew better than anyone else how strong his physical body was. That pull just now had the force of at least 250,000 catties of the Sacred Suppressing Stone.
Even a peak Yuan Monarch would have been pulled three meters away.
"Haha, I understand. Is this a test from Emperor Xiao?" Qin Hao sneered.
Xiao Ming had brought him to the small door and even asked an expert to block the way in advance. It was obviously intentional.
It was not difficult to guess that this was deliberately arranged by Xiao Yi.
As the saying went, when a son-in-law visited for the first time, the father-in-law would not treat him well.
Qin Hao felt that given his friendship with Xiao Yi, his father should be exempt from these customs.
However, he did not expect Emperor Xiao to be like this too …
"Alright, let's do it. I'm not afraid of you. In that case, I don't need to show mercy!"
Qin Hao silently circulated his Dragon Soul Power and activated 15% of his Dragon Soul Power. In an instant, dense dragon scales covered the surface of his fist. With a burst of strength, the muscles on his arm swelled rapidly as he punched the Big Xiong's chest. His fist streaked across the air, creating a golden ripple.
Boom!
A dull sound was heard.
Qin Hao felt that he had hit a big piece of meat.
He had hit it.
Before he could rejoice, shock filled Qin Hao's face.
15% of his Dragon Soul Power was enough to send the Ironback Demonic Lizard King's 150-foot body flying. However, the Big Xiong did not move at all.
"Hahaha …"
A burst of laughter came from the study of the Imperial Martial Hall. Xiao Yi was wearing a plain robe and squatting on the ground, peeling peanuts and throwing them into his mouth one by one.
Behind him, three figures stood in the room.
One of them was a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had one hand on Xiao Yi's desk while the other hand held a brush and was drawing on a piece of paper. No one knew what he was drawing.
The other two figures were old men with white hair and beards. The two old men were holding wine jugs and happily clinking them.
