Chapter 174 Meeting the Duchess

The Duchess frowned slightly: "There is no need to select suitable killers. When the killers arrive later, let them all go to the Sun-Moon Empire. The price can be negotiated.

But we must find a way to kill Huo Yuhao, otherwise when Huo Yuhao grows up, he will inevitably become a disaster.

No matter what, he is Brother Hao's son. If a war really breaks out between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire in the future, and Huo Yuhao stands firmly on the side of the Sun-Moon Empire, Brother Hao will definitely be influenced by Huo Yuhao."

Although she trusted that Dai Hao would never betray the Star Luo Empire, once Dai Hao met Huo Yuhao on the battlefield, he would be more or less influenced by Huo Yuhao, which was actually not good for the Star Luo Empire.

Click, click.

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded outside. The Duchess subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction of the footsteps. It was a young servant in gray cloth, with obvious anxiety on his face.

Zhang Tieshan took a step forward and stopped the servant to prevent him from approaching the Duchess. Then he asked, "What happened?"

He recognized the identity of the servant in front of him. He was the doorman of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. His main duty was to guard the gate. Of course, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion was so powerful that it was impossible for there to be only one doorman.

"Sir Zhang, there is a group of people in black robes outside. They claim to be guests invited by the Duchess, so they want to enter the Duke's Mansion to take a look." The doorman immediately explained his purpose.

"Okay, I understand. Go back and bring them here now." Zhang Tieshan smiled and went to the front desk on time.

"Yes, Lord Zhang." The doorman left hurriedly. A moment later, a group of people in black robes came over led by the doorman. Then the doorman left tactfully and closed the door.

Looking at these black-robed men, the Duchess said calmly: "My request is very simple, that is to kill Huo Yuhao, so you all have to go to the Sun Moon Empire."

In fact, she could send other people to kill Huo Yuhao, but among her subordinates, only Zhang Tieshan was quite strong, and the rest were basically relatively weak.

So in most cases her subordinates could only help Dai Huabin bully others. However, Dai Huabin was already dead, so her subordinates naturally lost the opportunity to help Dai Huabin bully others.

Of course, since Dai Huabin was already dead, she naturally gave more care to her only surviving son Dai Yueheng than before. Therefore, all her subordinates except Zhang Tieshan have now gone to Mingdou Mountains to guard Dai Yueheng.

Under such circumstances, she naturally did not want to call these people back and send them to deal with Huo Yuhao.

Zhang Tieshan, who was standing by, didn't want to go to the Sun Moon Empire, but considering the Duchess's status, he still said, "I will go with you. Don't worry, Madam will pay you enough and will definitely not pay less."

Since Riyao has a good reputation in the industry, many nobles have cooperated with them. It is said that this killer organization even has extremely rare Titled Douluo as support, so Zhang Tieshan did not dare to put his attitude too high and could only speak to this group of black-robed men in this negotiating tone.

"So you want Huo Yuhao to die so much, Duchess? Then your plan today may fail." At this moment, a man in black robe spoke slowly.

The Duchess frowned and said, "What do you mean by that? As an assassin, you actually curse my plan to fail? If the assassination fails, you will never get any reward from me."

"It's okay. I can still get paid after killing you."

As the black-robed man spoke, he slowly took off his hood and calmly looked at the Duchess in front of him. The Duchess was a little stunned: "Are you Huo Yuhao?"

In fact, ever since the Soul Fighting Competition, the Duchess has always been paying close attention to Huo Yuhao. After all, Huo Yuhao's words had a huge impact on both the Duke of White Tiger and her. However, she never expected that the other party would suddenly come to the Duke's Mansion.

Although the Duchess did not like Huo Yuhao, she was not a fool. Since he had come here mixed in with the black-robed people, didn't that mean that these people were his accomplices?

Then one's own safety was undoubtedly under extremely serious threat.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously took a few steps back and tried to run away. Of course, before running away, she did not forget to say, "Zhang Tieshan, take them down."

Zhang Tieshan looked at Huo Yuhao and subconsciously launched an attack. He knew that he didn't have much time left. Considering how much importance the Sun Moon Empire attached to Huo Yuhao, it was absolutely impossible for them to just send Huo Yuhao to cause trouble for the Duchess.

Therefore, he could only act against Huo Yuhao according to the idea of ​​"he who strikes first is stronger, and he who strikes later will suffer."

The purpose of doing this at the moment is not to kill Huo Yuhao, he just wants to temporarily control Huo Yuhao.

Once he can successfully control Huo Yuhao, the other men in black robes will be cautious and dare not act rashly.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for him and the Duchess.

Before Huo Yuhao could make a move, a short and fat man in a black robe reached out and grabbed Zhang Tieshan's arm, and a gentle voice came: "Yuhao wants revenge, so don't stand in his way.

If you want to fight, there are plenty of people here who are willing to fight you!"

"This..." Zhang Tieshan was a little surprised.

He felt the other party's tremendous power, and then he subconsciously looked at the man in black robe, and immediately saw the toad-like skin emerging on the other party's hands and the nine soul rings floating under his feet.

His expression suddenly changed.

There is no doubt that the person who temporarily suppressed him should be the head of Mingde Hall.

After all, the strength of a Titled Douluo plus his iconic martial spirit have already made his identity clear.

Even the hall master is here?

Damn it, it seems that the information about assassinating Huo Yuhao has been leaked. Could it be that there is a traitor in Riyue?

At this time, Huo Yuhao bypassed Zhang Tieshan and began to chase the Duchess who was not far away.

He was not worried about the Duchess escaping because there was someone guarding the back door.

For Huo Yuhao, he was actually very familiar with the structure of the Duke's Mansion.

Although Huo Gua was assigned to the woodshed in the original novel, Huo Yun'er sometimes talked about things related to the Duke's Mansion.

And the things that Huo Yun'er said had already become memories. Under the influence of those memories, Huo Yuhao naturally knew the structure of the Duke's Mansion like the back of his hand.

Sure enough, when the Duchess ran to the back door and opened it, she found a man in a black robe standing outside, with nine soul rings floating under his feet.

There is no doubt that the other party is an invincible enemy. With his strength as a Soul Emperor, he will never be able to compete with this man in black robe.

Of course, if she couldn't get out through the back door, she had other ways. At worst, she could just shout and see if she could get more people to come and help.

"Enemy attack!" she yelled at the top of her voice.
