Chapter 12 Death News
Lin Haixia finally left.
But what was different from the previous regret and loneliness was that he was so excited that he almost ran out of the general's mansion.
He wanted to report this great news to the frontier coach as quickly as possible.
If they knew that their child actually had a rare talent in swordsmanship, they would definitely be very surprised and pleased!
Lin Haixia understood that sword, but not completely.
He recognized that swordsmanship, the most famous swordsmanship in the Li family's collection, the Sea Without End Tide Sword Technique!
But compared with those Tidal Sword Techniques of perfect level that he had seen, it was not inferior, and even had a special feeling.
He searched his guts and finally could only think of two words:
Round.
More flawless than perfect!
Lin Haixia knows that beyond the perfection of techniques, there is another, deeper realm called perfection.
But even for some people who have been immersed in a technique for decades, it is difficult to achieve it.
In addition to hard training, it also requires extreme talent.
However, this shocking sword appeared in Li Hao's hands.
A child of six years old.
Even for those amazing prodigies, it is extremely difficult for them to master a certain technique to the point of dexterity at the age of six.
Moreover, Lin Haixia had never seen Li Hao practice swordsmanship.
But there was no doubt that he felt that Li Hao was practicing secretly.
However, no matter you are rich or poor, there are twelve hours every day.
Everyone is equal in the face of time, and when he saw Li Hao, he spent most of the day playing chess, playing, hanging out, dazing, eating and drinking.
I have never seen him practice with a sword, or even touch it.
Even if you work hard behind the scenes, how much time can you squeeze out?
He asked Li Hao, why do you practice sword secretly?
And why are you hiding this amazing talent?
But Li Hao just smiled and shook his head without speaking.
Lin Haixia thought a lot about it. He had also heard about some of the grievances and grievances between the royal family and wealthy families in the storybook, and he had some vague guesses in his heart.
Looking at Li Hao's quiet smiling face, Lin Haixia felt her nose sore. He understood that if the man from the frontier came back, the child would never be so helpless.
He was obviously capable of shining brightly, but now he could only lie low and dormant.
If the child hadn't seen her sincerity, she probably wouldn't have allowed herself to see his hidden true face... Lin Haixia felt quite moved and relieved when she thought of this.
This sword not only allowed Lin Haixia to see Li Hao's talent in swordsmanship, but combined with Li Hao's daily conversation, it also made him truly understand how smart this child is!
……
…
Lin Haixia walked in a hurry. She didn't even say hello to Bian Ruxue when she passed by the front yard.
With Lin Haixia's departure, the courtyard returned to its former peace.
However, now that he is six years old, Li Hao needs to get up early every day and go to Changchun Courtyard to say good morning to his aunt. This is etiquette.
The purpose of etiquette is to cultivate the character of respecting teachers and repaying kindness from an early age.
As Li Hao's baby fiancée, Bian Ruxue is considered half of the Li family, so she naturally wants to go with him to say goodbye.
During morning greetings, it is inevitable that you will meet children from other homes, but only four or five.
They are all similar in age to Li Hao.
For example, Wuniang's second son and youngest daughter.
Liu Niang's orphaned son.
Banniang’s son and daughter.
The rest of the children, like Li Qianfeng and Li Wushuang, were extremely talented and were taken away by famous teachers.
Or he is already old and has joined the army to compete for fame.
For example, the aunt's son and daughter are both in their twenties and serve as major generals in the army. They will come back occasionally if there is no war.
However, as a member of the Li family, military laws have been engraved into the bones of the family. They are strict in discipline and will set an example. Therefore, it is difficult for the aunt to see her children all year round.
After saying goodbye, Li Hao and Bian Ruxue were invited by their aunt He Jianlan to stay and enjoy the nutritious breakfast cooked by her. Sitting at the table, Li Hao chatted with this dignified and elegant aunt for a few words. The two little figures just looked at each other. Shaking his body back and forth, he returned to his courtyard.
Li Hao was in a daze as usual, thinking about chess.
Bian Ruxue was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.
Before Lin Haixia left, she taught her top-grade swordsmanship, which was enough for her to practice for several years.
I thought that this harmonious and quiet time would continue to pass slowly like this.
It wasn't until a few days later that a piece of news suddenly came back to the Divine General's mansion.
Lin Haixia is back.
A heavy-armored, burly soldier with cold eyes brought Lin Haixia back.
But only one hand was brought back.
Li Hao was stunned when he heard the news from Uncle Zhao.
The chess piece in his hand fell to the ground, but he, who usually only had eyes for the chess piece, didn't even look at it at this moment.
He didn't even bother to put on his boots. He ran out with his bare feet and rushed to Changchun Courtyard.
The maid at the door wanted to report it, but Li Hao had already rushed in.
Then, he saw a soldier kneeling on one knee in the lobby of the main courtyard of Changchun Yuan, where he usually prayed in the morning. Li Hao's heart trembled. He looked past the soldier and saw a red cloth on the ground in front of him, with a hand lying on the cloth.
The broken arm looked like it had been torn apart, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the parts were uneven.
Green sleeves and belt, this is the clothes Lin Haixia wore when she left.
A few days ago, this hand had rubbed that little girl's head.
In my ears, the soldier was reporting to He Jianlan:
"On his way to Yanbei, Captain Lin was attacked by the demons ambushing there when he passed the Qizhou National Highway."
"The battlefield in Yanbei is stalemate. Recently, demons have sneaked into various cities in Yanbei, trying to distract our troops. Frequent demon attacks have also occurred in other states..."
"Stop for a moment."
He Jianlan interrupted the soldier.
She was slightly stunned, looking at Li Hao who hurried into the lobby with his bare feet.
Immediately he thought of something, a sigh appeared in his eyes, and he ordered Xuejian beside him: "Take off the arm first."
"yes."
Xuejian nodded lightly, then raised her apricot eyes to glance at Li Hao who rushed in. She was quite familiar with this little guy, and also knew that the owner of this arm was half the master who built Li Hao's foundation.
However, in the Jiangmen family, she had already seen many separations between life and death, and apart from sighing secretly, she had no other feelings.
When Xuejian came over, Li Hao stepped forward and stopped her.
Ignoring the other party's surprised look, Li Hao turned around and stared at the soldier:
"Which demon killed Uncle Lin?"
The soldier looked up and saw a little boy of the same height as him kneeling on one knee, staring at him with an angry look on his face. His eyes were extremely cold and angry, as if he did not belong to a child.
From the jade pendant hanging on the other party's waist, he recognized that it was Qilin'er from the Li family, but he didn't know which house he belonged to.
Immediately he said truthfully: "It was a thousand-year-old demon from the fourth realm. He led several demons to attack him and ate Captain Lin. When the city guard from Qizhou arrived, only this arm was left."
Share the food! Li Hao's brain was roaring, his eyes suddenly turned red, the blood all over his body was rushing backwards, and his brain was congested.
It was not difficult for him to imagine what kind of situation that was, how cruel it was!
When Li Hao came to this world, he was in the Divine General's Mansion. Although he heard a lot of news about demons from the surrounding environment, he had never actually seen them. Although he knew that the battlefield was cruel in the past, this was the first time he faced it so directly. feel the impact.
"Does that monster have a name?"
Li Hao said in a low voice.
The soldier said: "Yes, that demon has been living outside Qizhou City for a long time, and he calls himself the 'Immortal in Tiger Robe'."
Li Hao silently engraved this name in his heart, and indescribable killing intent surged in his heart, but he controlled his emotions and didn't ask any more questions. He just turned around, rolled up the red cloth on the ground, and covered the arm. Good accommodation.
Then, Li Hao raised his head and glanced at the aunt sitting in the seat: "Auntie, I took Uncle Lin's hand back with me. I'm rude today, so don't blame me."
After saying that, he turned around and left with his arms and bare feet.
He Jianlan's eyes flashed slightly, and she could faintly see something in Li Hao that she didn't usually see. This child was more mature and smarter than she imagined.
"Xue Jian, give Chengzhi's boots to Hao'er." He Jianlan ordered.
Xuejian nodded and went to the side room to find the boots. When he was chasing him out of the hospital, he saw that the little figure had gone away and disappeared.
…
…
Return to Shanheyuan.
Li Hao found a place to bury his arm, then found a wooden sign, engraved the words "Lin Haixia" on it, and inserted it into the soil.
He ordered Uncle Zhao to circle the area and prohibit entry.
When Uncle Zhao learned that Lin Haixia's remaining arm was buried inside, he quickly persuaded him: "Young Master, this is the courtyard where the family heads live. We cannot bury the bones. We have a cemetery for burying martyrs. Send Colonel Lin to it." Go there."
"Let's buy a tomb for Uncle Lin in the Martyrs Cemetery."
Li Hao shook his head slightly and glanced at the courtyard: "This huge Shanhe Courtyard can accommodate one of Uncle Lin's hands."
"Young Master..."
Uncle Zhao wanted to say more, but was stopped by Li Hao, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Remember to provide pensions to Uncle Lin's family and treat them well." Li Hao said to Uncle Zhao.
Uncle Zhao replied: "Colonel Lin is a member of the army. Yanbei should already know the news and will deal with his family well."
"That's over there, and this is here." Li Hao glanced at Uncle Zhao: "You should understand what I mean."
Uncle Zhao was startled, then nodded slightly: "I understand."
The news of Lin Haixia's death was like a pebble thrown into the bottom of a lake. It did not cause any waves in the Divine General's Mansion, only small ripples.
Other academies were as usual, but in Shanhe Academy, Li Hao was even more obsessed with chess, and even ignored Bian Ruxue's sword practice.
He didn't tell the little girl about Uncle Lin, so as not to make her sad.
Time flies.
One day, Li Hao woke up from his sleep and was playing chess with Uncle Lin. Suddenly a tiger rushed in from outside the chessboard, overturned the chessboard, pushed Lin Haixia to the ground and bit his neck.
He sat on the bed, breathing heavily.
The little girl beside her was woken up, her eyes were bleary, and she rubbed her eyes and said, "Brother Hao, what's wrong?"
Li Hao came to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
When the little girl fell asleep again, Li Hao covered her with the quilt that had been slid aside, and immediately sat up and came to the window sill.
Under the moonlight, fonts suddenly appeared in front of Li Hao's eyes:
[You have understood the heart of chess. ]
