Three days later in the morning, Boti ran into Eddie's dormitory with an excited look on his face: "Eddie! Quick! Hufu is here!"
Eddie, who was learning to weave leather knee pads from Quick, suddenly brightened up when he heard this. He threw the half-woven knee pads on the table and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Boti was right. Khufu came, and he brought people with him. In addition to the cronies who were beaten that day and the cronies who did not show up that day and thus escaped a beating, there were also sixty-four ceremonial armored soldiers.
On the way here, Khufu rode his horse with a proud and arrogant manner, and arrived at the gate of the Civic Academy slowly and arrogantly. Following closely behind him were the ceremonial guards, and the carriages of his friends followed behind the ceremonial guards. Behind them were the extras who came to watch the fun and happened to have some free time...
In the mighty procession, the most eye-catching person was not Khufu, but the sixty-four ceremonial guards. If you only heard their names, you would misunderstand that they were just a group of handsome guys used to support the scene. In fact, they were all the best civilian soldiers in the legion. Although they could not be said to have survived a hundred battles, they were all the ones who charged into battle and shed blood on the battlefield. Even though they had changed to this comfortable and glamorous job now, the murderous aura on their bodies had not been erased...
The ceremonial armored soldiers only belonged to Weihuo, not the legion. This was an Assyrian custom, which not only reflected the praise for the legion commander, but also served as an encouragement to the civilian soldiers in the legion - see, as long as you fought bravely on the battlefield, you might be able to escape from the battle in this way and enjoy benefits and honors.
At this moment, the sixty-four soldiers in distinctive armor were lined up behind Khufu, looking straight ahead and looking very majestic.
"Woleglindo, today, I'm going to beat you half to death." Khufu said this in his heart while playing with the whip.
In the past few days, Khufu investigated Wu Lai based on the clues given by Quick and Boti, and the result surprised him a little - this young man with strong fighting ability actually has some background.
However, it was just a flash of thought for Hufu at that time. After all, compared with the Duncan family, Wu Lai's family background was not dazzling, and those rare things that Wu Lai did were simply ignored by Hufu - it was just some new things, what else could it be? Waiting made Hufu very impatient. The gatekeeper of the academy had been in for a while, but there was no response. The closed door made him feel like he was being shut out, but Hufu was not reckless enough to break the gate of the Citizen Academy and rush in, because he knew that if he did that, he would almost be beaten to death by his father - before coming here, Wei Huo warned Hufu that he could save face, but he should not cause too much trouble to the Citizen Academy.
These words were vague, and Khufu couldn't figure them out for a while with his intelligence quotient, because thinking had never been his strong point, and he would just act like a spoiled brat in front of his mother.
Just when Hufu was about to go berserk, the door of the Citizen Academy slowly opened. Behind the door stood a teacher with a smiling face and a humble demeanor: "It turns out to be the distinguished Citizen Hufu Duncan. The vice presidents have something to say. Please invite Citizen Hufu Duncan into the academy to talk."
"Let's forget about that. You, move aside." Khufu whipped his horse whip and his mount slowly stepped forward. The sixty-four ceremonial guards in the formation behind him moved at the same time, and the armor clanged...
"Citizen Khufu Duncan, the vice presidents said that you can go in alone, and the others..." The teacher's words came to an abrupt end before he finished speaking, because Khufu suddenly drew the sword at his waist.
The welcoming teacher frowned slightly and stepped aside.
"Let's go!" Khufu saw the teacher retreating obediently, and saw many students from far and near looking at him. How could he not be proud? He immediately raised his arms and shouted, as if he had turned into a father-like legion commander, and the people behind him seemed to have become brave men who followed him into battle.
Khufu's shouting made the guards of honor answer in unison, but the mob behind them was a bit messy. These guys were about the same age as Khufu, and they were all playful and lustful. They followed Khufu around all day long. According to their understanding, they were doing a serious job for the family - making friends with the first family of Assyria, what else could it be but a serious job? For example, following Khufu to bully people today was a serious job.
When Khufu marched towards the academy in a triumphant manner, Rini was sitting in front of a window, watching with a calm face. Next to him stood a young man who looked no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He was very elegant and had a steadiness that was totally inconsistent with his age.
His name is David, Davidmont, and he is Rini's adopted son. He is highly regarded by Rini. On the surface, he manages some idle businesses for Rini, but in fact, he is the most active one under Rini.
The two men's eyes followed Khufu as he moved slowly.
There was a sudden knock at the door: "Deputy Dean Lini, it's me, Helen Angelina."
"Come in." Rini didn't look back, and David took a step away, putting some distance between himself and Rini.
"Vice President Lini, Hufu is here to cause trouble for Woleglindo." Helen's eyes were filled with anxiety. No wonder, looking at Hufu's aggressive style, how could Helen remain calm?
"That's called being too concerned and getting confused." Lini smiled slightly, but didn't turn around. "Helen, I guess your worry is unnecessary. Go back to class. If you want to help Wu Lai, don't rush to him. You should remember that this happened because of you."
"But..." When Helen wanted to fight for it again, Lini turned around and waved his hand.
"Well, sorry to bother you, Vice President Lini." Helen bowed and turned to leave.
"Father, this is the person that Woolelindo loves." David asked softly after watching Helen leave.
"Yes, but I still don't know enough about Wu Lai, so I'm worried." Lini nodded slightly and said.
David smiled and said, "Father really has full confidence in Wulagindo."
"Of course. Given time, his achievements will surely be higher than mine, so I can't let him be defeated by anyone along the way." Lini paused, then continued, "I've told you that the nobles at the top of Assyria have a bad habit that has been passed down for thousands of years, which is cannibalism. The Monte family has been short of talent for more than a hundred years. If I die one day, those people will definitely swarm in and eat up my Monte family. I can't let that happen."
"Father, do you mean that this Wuleglindo will be able to protect the Monte family in the future?" David asked in surprise.
Lini nodded: "As long as he is willing, he can."
"Father, I don't quite understand this. Wu Lai provoked Khufu. With your dignity, you naturally would not condescend to speak up for Wu Lai Gelin. But why did you call me here and not let me negotiate with Khufu?" David asked.
Khufu and David had a close personal relationship, and Khufu owed David a lot of favors. If he asked David to intercede, the matter would most likely disappear - this was originally the reason why Lini asked David to come, but what David couldn't understand was that he was stopped before he even started.
"That's because Wu Lai has already made arrangements for the response." Lini smiled slightly. "Under such a disadvantage, he actually took advantage of the situation to enter the social circle of the new generation of the Assyrian city-state. He really knows how to find a way in and is resourceful and decisive. He is better than I thought before."
A smile also appeared on David's face: "So, Khufu is destined to lose face again today?"
"Not necessarily. It depends on Woolley. If my prediction is correct, he won't take advantage of the victory." said Rini.
David pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
…
Khufu continued to be proud, especially after seeing the hot and bold gazes of several good-looking girls, his pride soared at an exaggerated rate.
"Whoever is free, go find Woolleglindo for me and tell him I'm waiting for him at the stable." Khufu whipped his horse whip and swept across the students who were watching the fun. "Whoever does it will be my friend, Khufu Duncan."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As soon as he finished speaking, several students rushed to find Wu Lai. There would be many benefits to becoming Huf Duncan's friend.
Quick and Boti walked towards Khufu with smiles on their faces. There was no need for them to be as attentive as those others just now.
"Oh, honorable Khufu, what do you want to do with Woolleglindo?" Quick asked with a smile.
Khufu laughed. "Of course, Quick, I'm here to cause trouble for Woolleglin."
"No way, Khufu, this is the Citizens' Academy. Does General Weihuo know that you are doing this?" Boti asked in surprise.
"Look." Khufu pointed to the guards behind him. "My father asked me to bring this. Don't you think he didn't know?"
Hearing what Khufu said, Eddie, who was standing behind the crowd, couldn't help but chuckle. The question and answer between the three people just now was just a deliberate attempt by Quick and Botti to give Khufu a chance to show off.
At the same time, Guru smiled and handed a wooden sword to Wu Lai: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Of course." Wu Lai took the wooden sword and said, "What else can we do? Stop now?"
"I have to remind you that this is a bit risky." Gulu continued, "If you fail to achieve the desired effect, the opponent's counterattack may be difficult to resist."
"Even you can laugh, what should I worry about?" Wu Lai laughed and walked out.
After a while, nearly half of the students in the college rushed to the stable, and then consciously formed a large circle, placing Khufu and his "horse and men" in the most conspicuous position.
In front of a window not far away, Yibei and Huban stood side by side, both looking towards the horse farm.
"Huban, Khufu from the Duncan family is so aggressive, I'm afraid that Wulagrindo will have a hard time." Ibe narrowed his eyes and continued, "I'm very confused. Logically, since you, Huban, are on good terms with the Duncan family, it's understandable that you let Khufu in with such a big fanfare. But Lini also agreed, which is a bit unbelievable. Didn't he take good care of Wulagrindo?"
Huban laughed and said, "Oh, Ibe, no matter how caring Rini is, he can't offend the Duncan family for a student from a small place."
"This doesn't make sense. With Lini's temperament and skills, even if he doesn't go against Wei Huo, he won't be afraid of him." Ibe said.
"I don't care what Lini thinks. I just hope Hufu won't go too far." A trace of solemnity flashed across Huban's face. "Hufu is not welcomed in the Duncan family because of his mischievousness, but his misbehavior is often tolerated by Weihuo and Qiyuan. The reason is probably that these two are happy with it."
"You mean, Khufu, you were instigated by Weihuo and Chief Qiyuan?" Ibe frowned.
"It's not instigation, but it's almost connivance. On the one hand, it can win over some young people, and on the other hand, it can easily distinguish between friends and enemies. Hu Fu, the least promising person in the family, was sent to this purpose. Who else but Chief Qi Yuan could use a waste so well?" Hu Ban said, and sighed softly, "This is a good trick, a rogue trick, but it can't be cracked. We can only watch it..."
Ibe nodded slightly, his eyes suddenly fixed: "Good boy, you actually came here alone."
