Chapter 682: A Bit Sour

If you're worried about safety, Sir, you don't need to advise me; I will assign a dedicated protector to him, guaranteeing absolute safety.

However, the Great King's protection and what Xie Yuan thought of as 'silently instructing the hidden guards' protection are clearly different.

When the myriad cavalry assembled, the Great King, in front of Baili Xiao Feiyang Hu, pointed out more than twenty elite Owl Cavalry warriors. He even knew their names, calling them out one by one, making them look like outstanding performers, famous abroad, the outstanding among the crowd.

You are all elite Owl Cavalry warriors; your mission this time is to protect the Fourth Highness. I know your abilities, uh… not rushed, there will be plenty of opportunities to achieve merit later." After saying that, he also wore a look of regret, a shame he couldn't pat their shoulders; otherwise it would have been more vivid.

Si Pangzi isn't stupid either; those with simple thoughts already showed regret. The Great King picked those with good skills, not high intelligence, not everyone as scheming as the Great King, with that plain honesty that doesn't hide anything, their faces inevitably showing some regret. They sacrificed the chance to charge into battle and earn military merit to protect him; this reasoning Baili Hu surely understands.

He glared fiercely at the Great King, then declared first: 'When this battle triumphs, I will additionally reward you handsomely.'

The Great King timely showed a 'Really? I don't believe it' irritating look, successfully making Baili Hu's teeth itch with anger.

I haven't been stingy before! I can't do without them!

The Great King just likes Si Pangzi's face-saving personality.

He put on an expression more arrogant and irritating than Si Pangzi's, saying 'Tsk! Even penniless, you're not modest!' Then he snorted through his nose, making Baili Hu quite angry.

When the Great King turned his back on Baili Hu, he immediately showed a smug expression and winked at Vice Commander Zhou Ke beside him—success!

Honest Zhou Ke: ……

Those remaining in the Owl Cavalry are all experts; they are the elite of the Black Armor Cavalry, the finest batch. Randomly picking four would more than surround Lao Si, providing ample safety. The Great King listed twenty or thirty at once; these are the Owl Cavalry members with the worst family conditions and greatest burden, those who find it hard to rise despite high income in the Owl Cavalry.

The Great King spent others' money, giving them a taste of wealth by plucking wool from sheep—something he handled with ease.

This time, rewarding according to Si Pangzi's nature will certainly not be meager, although the Great King constantly boasts 'can't afford to lose that person,' but it's obvious that between these two brothers, Baili Hu is the one who cares more about face.

After the Great King finished scheming with his younger brother, he took the Grand Eminence Sword presented with both hands by Zhao Bao, feeling its weight, stepped onto the high platform and instantly transformed into another person.

An unfamiliar stranger to Baili Hu.

The Great King wore no helmet, donning a fine silver armor, indeed resembling Baili Hu's armor closely.

Being able to stand here today shows you have entered my sight through strength and merit. You are the elite pick among my 200,000 Black Armor Iron Cavalry, and my expectations for you are especially great.

The Grassland Allied Army again pressed the border, numbering about a hundred thousand, while I only intend to bring you ten thousand troops—do you have confidence?!!

'Yes! Yes! Yes!' rang loudly, shaking the heavens with echo.

Baili Hu's ears buzzed from the shock nearby; he absolutely refused to admit being shaken by the Northern Border Cavalry, stunned for a moment then cursed: '... Are you sick? Afraid San Pangzi will go deaf? Repeating three times!'

Wei Shen beside him said: 'Want to hit someone because you're feeling sour? No problem, I feel the same.'

Baili Hu: ……
