Chapter 14 The Softest Place
What's going on?
The skinny young man was confused for a moment, unable to tell who the assassin was.
But feeling the huge pressure on his throat, he woke up and looked at the little boy in front of him in horror.
What kind of monster is this? He is less than seven years old, and he actually has such terrifying strange power. Even if he has reached the tenth level of Tongli Realm and the Marquis has revived his divine blood, shouldn't it be so exaggerated, right?
"Who asked you to assassinate me?" Li Hao asked, staring at the opponent closely. At the same time, various messages emerged in his mind. Playing chess was a way to get close to him, which showed that the opponent's purpose in coming to the God General's Mansion was very simple. ——Just assassinate him.
The skinny young man was a little silent. The child in front of him was not like an ordinary six-year-old child in terms of strength or intelligence.
He thought he was here to deal with a useless little thing, but he didn't expect to reveal such horrific information.
"You are not a martial arts waste. Is it your intention to hide your strength, or is it your father's arrangement?" the skinny young man asked with slightly narrowed eyes.
At this moment, the assassination failed, and he felt the huge force on his throat that was about to be swallowed at any time. He knew that he had no way out, so he calmed down.
Assassinating the direct bloodline from the God General's Mansion was a matter of narrow escape, but unfortunately, the task could not be completed.
"Do you know my father?" Li Hao's eyes moved slightly.
"You're joking."
The skinny young man said coldly: "Who in the world doesn't know Marquis Xing Wu. Now he is sitting at the border. A few months ago, he summoned martial arts warriors in Yanbei to help suppress the demon. He responded to every call and had a very high reputation."
Help suppress demons? Li Hao frowned. Could it be that the situation in Yanbei was already so difficult, and he actually had to rely on the power of martial arts warriors.
"Are you sent by my second mother?" Li Hao asked.
The skinny young man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, he said: "Have you ever been assassinated? I didn't expect that the iron-blooded God General's Mansion would have such decay inside. No wonder you would pretend to be a waste, but by the way, I do I haven’t seen you practicing, how many hours do you practice every day?”
I have been practicing with you... Li Hao looked directly into his eyes and said, "You answer mine first, and I will answer yours later. This is called exchange."
The skinny young man raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but laugh. This kid was indeed very interesting.
"You are bound to die anyway. You failed my mission and ruined my family. Why should I tell you?" The skinny young man sneered softly.
Li Hao said: "Because I see that you don't want to die, and you are also afraid of death, and there are many ways to die. I can give you a happy way to die."
The smile of the skinny young man disappeared, he fell silent for a while, and slowly said: "The one who sent me is..."
Suddenly, his arm vibrated and he punched Li Hao on the head.
Li Hao tilted his head slightly and easily dodged it. He didn't fight back, but just looked at him coldly.
The skinny young man's heart sank to the bottom when he saw it, and a chill came over him. How could the gap be so big? He, a powerful person in the Zhoutian Realm, seemed to have switched identities with this child. In front of him, he was like a child, completely seen through.
The latter's contempt made him retract his hand dejectedly: "You are really a monster."
"Tell me about it." Li Hao said coldly: "You should know that our Li family is a family of generals. We have arrested countless prisoners and interrogated countless criminals. Their torture methods are unimaginable. You cannot seek death. If you can, , I can give you a pleasure."
The corners of the skinny young man's eyes twitched slightly. He naturally understood that the child in front of him was not lying, and he felt a little scared in his heart.
"If I tell you, can you let me go?" the skinny young man asked with a hint of hope, hoping that the child in front of him still had a simple mind.
"Yes." Li Hao replied.
Pfft... The skinny young man almost vomited blood. Are you going to be so straightforward? You can't be more fake. Are you treating me like a child?
He smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Anyway, if the assassination fails, my family will not survive. I came from Yanbei, and the person who asked me to kill you is 'Bai Shenjun'."
"Shirakami-kun?"
"Yes, he is one of the three demon gods of Yanbei. He is terrifyingly powerful and is also your father's old enemy."
The skinny young man's eyes were complicated: "Your father is a god in his military skills, and the Li family's army is not afraid of death. The Yanbei side has already fallen, and now the frontal battlefield has reached a stalemate. Lord Bai Shen sent me to assassinate you just to let you know of your death." The news spread from the General's Mansion to the border of Yanbei, causing your father's military morale to be in chaos. If he leaves the battlefield and comes back, Yanbei will be able to conquer it. "
Speaking of this, he stared at Li Hao in front of him.
No one knew that this child was an important factor affecting the life and death of the people in dozens of cities in Yanbei.
Li Hao was stunned. It turned out to be because of Yan Bei.
The war situation over there has actually affected the divine general's mansion tens of thousands of miles away.
"Your father is stationed in Yanbei. They have been on the battlefield for a long time. They have no flaws and are invulnerable. But you are their only weakness, the softest place."
The skinny young man said: "Only by starting with you can we defeat your parents, break the Yanbei border, and let the demon army march straight in."
Li Hao was silent, digesting the other party's words, and then slowly said after a moment: "You are a human race, why do you do things for monsters?"
The skinny young man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Hao faintly, with jealousy and hatred in his eyes: "Not everyone is as lucky as you, and you won't understand even if I tell you."
"Really?"
Li Hao looked at him calmly: "My parents have been away from me since I was born, and they were framed by relatives around me. Now I am assassinated because of my parents. Do you think my life is good?"
The skinny young man opened his mouth slightly and was stunned. He hesitated to speak, but could no longer speak.
Li Hao didn't say any more and just said: "I promised you that I would let you die happily."
"Ha, you're quite a nice person." The skinny young man came back to his senses and forced a smile with a hint of sarcasm.
No matter what you say, death is inevitable in the end. There is some fear in his eyes. He doesn't want to die, but he is also afraid of death. Otherwise, how could he be reduced to working for the monster?
Li Hao seemed not to understand the sarcasm and said, "Actually, I don't want to kill you."
"Oh?" The skinny young man sneered in his eyes, obviously not believing it. "Because you are good at chess." Li Hao said seriously.
The skinny young man was stunned.
After a while, he came back to his senses, with a bitter smile on his face: "But unfortunately, I have never defeated you."
"In the next life."
Li Hao began to exert force on his palms: "Stop practicing martial arts in the next life, and just play chess honestly. At least you can live longer and be more relaxed."
The skinny young man wanted to struggle, but when he saw Li Hao's cold and calm eyes, he felt only despair and said bitterly: "You are such a strange child."
In the end, Li Hao crushed him to death.
When faced with suffocation, the skinny young man resisted fiercely again, but to no avail.
After dealing with the assassin, Li Hao remembered that he still didn't know the other person's real name.
The name of the servant used by the other party to sneak in was also given by the Li family.
but.
That’s all.
…
…
When the assassin died, Li Hao called his servant and scared him half to death.
That night, the entire Divine General's Mansion was shaken.
All the lights in each courtyard were turned on, and the ladies from each courtyard who had fallen asleep hurried over wearing their clothes. When they saw the assassin's body lying in front of the chess table, they were all shocked.
What kind of place is the Divine General's Mansion that could be infiltrated by assassins?
He Jianlan's always dignified and calm temperament disappeared. She hugged Li Hao nervously and looked up and down: "Are you okay?"
"Mom, I'm fine." Li Hao comforted.
He Jianlan felt relieved after checking that there was indeed no injury on Li Hao's body. Then he asked carefully, and Li Hao also said what he had already thought of.
The assassin made a sneak attack, and when he was in danger, an old man took action and killed him.
Then the old man disappeared.
Li Hao thought to himself, since an assassin can sneak into the General's Mansion, it shouldn't be a problem if he makes up an old man, right?
Anyway, you don’t even know assassins, so it’s normal for you not to know other masters, right?
After hearing Li Hao's words, He Jianlan's heart was shaken, and some speculations suddenly emerged. Could it be that he was a military expert secretly sent by Marquis Xing Wu?
Or... that clan elder?
She suppressed her suspicions and did not doubt Li Hao's words.
After all, no matter how precocious Li Hao is, he is only a child under seven years old.
Moreover, he has not entered the martial arts. If he does not have an expert to protect him secretly, he will definitely die.
Afterwards, He Jianlan asked Xuejian to take Li Hao and Bian Ruxue to the Changchun Hospital to rest and calm the children's shock.
As for her, she was sitting in the lobby of Shanhe Courtyard. She called the servant who had accompanied Li Hao to play chess before, as well as the first servant who was alerted by Li Hao's cry, and interrogated him carefully in the courtyard.
At the same time, she called in experts from the house to examine the assassin's body.
Not long after, I learned the whole story from the servant.
When did the assassin enter the house, how did he show his talent for playing chess, how did he behave in front of the servants of Shanheyuan, how did he get close to him, etc.
Obviously, the other party had inquired about Li Hao's information and deliberately approached him through chess. Everything was traceable.
In the middle of the night, the results of the autopsy came out. It turned out that the assassin was in the Zhoutian realm, probably around the third to fourth level.
If you leave this realm outside, you can be regarded as a knight with good cultivation level. You can also do chivalry in the world and gain a little fame. But if you leave it in the palace of a powerful god general, it will definitely be an extremely ordinary existence.
However, this level of cultivation is more than enough to kill a six-year-old child. It is even very exaggerated to kill a mosquito with an ox-knife.
Moreover, the other party had taken some kind of special elixir to seal off his sense of energy, so no one noticed it.
Hearing this result, the ladies of each hospital were frightened. If it was not Li Hao who was assassinated today, but their child, he would definitely die!
A Zhoutian realm killer suddenly appeared next to a child, which was simply too terrifying.
When Liu Yuerong heard the autopsy results, she slowly let go of the random suspicions in her heart.
Even if Li Hao's divine blood had not been abolished, he would still not be able to kill the assassin on his own.
It seemed that although the couple was at the frontier, they had made adequate preparations for their child.
Thinking of this, she was secretly afraid that no one would notice her drugging. After all, she was being attacked by someone from Shuihua Courtyard, and there were also strong people in her courtyard.
