Chapter 15 Defeat
Yanbei border, Yuanyue City.
The city is gloomy and gloomy, and the ground outside the city is full of devastation and craters. In a mountain forest a hundred miles away, there are huge figures of different shapes lurking here. There are many shadows, and there are also some slender figures with human appearance sitting cross-legged on the top of the peaks.
The ground here is stained with blood, the bones are like firewood, and the bloody skin is like rags, hanging randomly on branches and stones.
At this time, a young woman with a beautiful face was holding another arm covered with military armor and was chewing her fingers. Her lips and cheeks were stained with bright red blood, but she didn't care.
Suddenly, a small black dot came quickly from the sky. When it got closer, it was discovered that it was a three-clawed black bird with a body length of more than ten meters.
It shrunk, and when it landed, it had transformed into the appearance of a graceful young man, wearing a black scarf, walking briskly towards the people sitting around, and then came to the young man wearing white clothes with a long harp on his knees. before.
The young man gently strummed the strings with his fingers, emitting curling sound waves, but his eyes were quietly looking into the distance, looking at the city that looked like a smelly stone.
From there, one could still faintly see the dark clouds gathering over the city, as well as the blurry figures standing on top of the city.
"Shirakami-kun."
The young man in black turban clasped his fists slightly, with a respectful look on his face, and said to the young man in white: "I just got the news that the useless meat breed sent earlier failed and alarmed the God General's Mansion. Now the whole manor is on alert. I heard that that The child is protected secretly by experts."
"Can this fail? It's useless!"
The face of a tall, muscular man next to him darkened, and he grinned slightly, revealing sharp teeth that were not as sharp as human beings.
"Didn't you say that you have already sneaked into the kid's side?" The beautiful woman who was chewing on her arm frowned, stopped chewing, and looked at the boy in black scarf.
"Half a month has passed, and his identity must not have been exposed. Why can't he find a chance to take action after such a long time?"
Next to him, a young man with yellow eyebrows frowned and said: "In order to prevent the intelligence from the Divine General's Mansion from being incorrect, the Xingwu Marquis deliberately concealed the true condition of the child. We specially sent the meat breeder from Zhoutian Realm over there. If a punch kills someone violently, even a person at the tenth level of Tongli Realm will not be able to escape, even if there is a master guarding him, he will not be able to react, right?"
The boy in black scarf sighed and said: "The specific process is unknown. Who knew that thing was so useless."
"Hmph, it failed and alerted the Divine General's Mansion. This news fell into the ears of Li Tiangang. He will definitely send more people to protect the damn thing!" The burly man roared angrily again.
The boy in black scarf nodded slightly: "If we want to assassinate him next, I'm afraid it will be more difficult. Since the meat breeder has failed, his family doesn't have to keep it and let the little guys below enjoy it."
"They've already eaten them all."
The beautiful woman bit off another finger and said while chewing.
The boy in black scarf did not speak anymore, but looked at the young man in white who stopped playing the piano, with a faint awe in his eyes: "Mr. Baishen, what should we do next, do we want to attack head-on?"
Everyone else also looked at each other, waiting for his instructions.
Bai Shenjun's mood didn't seem to fluctuate much. He stared at Yuanyue City in the distance and whispered softly: "This Li family is really a hard nut to crack. If we attack them head-on, our losses will be too great."
"Yeah, those guys are unwilling to help, they are really bastards." The burly man said dissatisfiedly.
"Then we still want to assassinate him?" the boy in black scarf asked.
Lord Baishen turned to look at him and said, "What do you think?"
…
…
Since Li Hao's attack, the security of the Divine General's Mansion has become even tighter.
He Jianlan dispatched strong men from the inner courtyard to sit in the front courtyard and screened all the servants who had entered the mansion within the past three years one by one.
This matter caused a lot of noise, but all the hospitals actively cooperated. After all, this assassination was too dangerous, and everyone was afraid that it would happen to their own children.
After tracing through the Li family's intelligence network, the assassination was actually related to the demon in Yanbei.
Li Hao found his aunt and wanted her to conceal the news of the assassination so that it would not reach Yanbei or the ears of the couple, so as not to disrupt the battle situation on the front line.
Hearing what Li Hao said, He Jianlan was stunned and looked at Li Hao's little face, feeling as if something was tugging at her heart.
This kid, who was almost assassinated because of the war in Yanbei, was still worried about the impact on the other side. He was so sensible that it made people feel heartbroken.
However, the news of the assassination was too big to conceal.
The news was quickly received at the Yanbei border.
Marquis Xingwu, who was thinking about the layout in the military camp, was furious, and Ji Qingqing was also furious. They immediately understood the thoughts of these demons, and wanted to use Li Hao's death to shake the morale of the army and let them temporarily leave the Yanbei war.
Once they take off, a thunderous attack is bound to come.
It was impossible for Marquis Xingwu to abandon the battlefield here. While angry, he sent his cronies back to the mansion that day to protect Li Hao personally.
News came from the mansion that the assassination was averted by the people secretly watching over Li Hao.
But Marquis Xingwu knew that he did not send anyone to guard Li Hao secretly.
There were guards in Shanheyuan and it was located in the palace of a divine general. He never imagined that someone would assassinate a child.
If Li Hao showed amazing talent in martial arts, he would be concerned and secretly send someone to take care of him to prevent the future genius of the Li family from dying in the cradle.
But a person without martial arts talent poses no threat. Even so, he was almost killed.
And all of this is because of this damn impasse.
A few days later, on the battlefield of Yanbei, the Li family's military camp launched a thunderous attack and wiped out a group of monsters overnight. The news spread, making all monsters feel the anger of the Li family.
…………
The days finally calmed down slowly.
Half a year has passed and Li Hao is seven years old.
The news of the assassination was already half a year ago, and no one in the house has mentioned it anymore.
The strong man sent back from the army by Marquis Xingwu has been with Li Hao for the past six months. He is a tall and tall middle-aged man, unsmiling and cautious in doing things, named Li Fu.
I heard that Li Fu was an abandoned baby many years ago and was adopted by the Li family. At that time, some people said that although this child had a tragic fate, he would be considered rich if he landed at the door of the Divine General's Mansion, so he gave him the surname Li. Name is blessing.
In his early years in this Shanhe Courtyard, Li Fu grew up with Marquis Xing Wu.
He is seven or eight years older than Marquis Xing Wu. On weekdays, he treats Marquis Xing Wu like a caring brother, but in the army, the two of them have a superior-subordinate relationship.
At the same time, Li Fu is also the right-hand man of Marquis Xing Wu and one of the most trustworthy people.
"Uncle Fu, you lost again."
In the pavilion, after the game of chess was over, Li Hao said with a smile.
Li Fu's serious face couldn't help but reveal a trace of helplessness: "Your father and I are the same generation, you should call me uncle."
"But calling me Uncle Fu is a bit like convincing someone to lose." Li Hao curled his lips and said, "When I play chess, I just want to win. I don't like to admit defeat."
Li Fu couldn't help but be speechless. Just because of this boring homophony, he was super promoted.
"You can also call me Uncle Li."
"But this is the Li family. There are too many people named Li. If I call them Uncle Li, I'm afraid you can't tell them apart." Li Hao said.
Li Fu was helpless again.
"If you ask me, Uncle Fu, you shouldn't be named Fu. Since you are said to be blessed...you should be called Li You."
Li Hao said seriously: "Look, the name Li You sounds so nice. You have it, you have it, you have everything, and the corresponding one is perfect!"
Li Fu wanted to slap his little head. Unlike Marquis Xing Wu who was strict and strict, his son was very slippery.
"Don't talk nonsense. If your father were here, he would definitely beat you up, big or small." Li Fu scolded with a straight face.
"He's not the problem." Li Hao said casually.
Li Fuzheng wanted to discipline him to prevent him from becoming more and more lawless, but when he heard these careless words, his heart seemed to tremble.
When Marquis Xingwu went on an expedition, he followed him around. Naturally, he knew that Li Hao was seven years old this year, and the Marquis had also stayed in Yanbei for seven years.
The situation in Yanbei made it difficult for Ji Qingqing, who had accompanied him there to prepare for a quick victory, to come back and put her husband in danger.
The child in front of me must be sad without his parents by his side for seven years, right?
Li Fu felt a little distressed but also softened his heart. He sighed and said, "Your father also has his difficulties. Don't blame him."
"I didn't blame him." Li Hao said seriously.
Li Fu looked at his eyes, his heart warmed slightly, and he felt a little relieved, and said: "You are very sensible."
Are you sensible? Li Hao grinned.
At this moment, a half-grown figure returned to Shanhe Courtyard.
Li Hao turned around and saw that Bian Ruxue, who was practicing in the martial arts field, had returned.
Now the little girl has turned into a little girl, and her immature face cannot hide her beauty.
"Why are you back so early today? Are you hungry?" Li Hao smiled and waved.
Bian Ruxue saw Li Hao and walked over with his sword in his arms. His expression looked a little gloomy and he just said: "I'm not hungry."
"Why, someone made you unhappy?" Li Hao joked.
Bian Ruxue gritted her teeth slightly, turned her head away with a stern face, and said nothing.
Li Hao asked casually, but when he saw this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"It's nothing." Bian Ruxue stood up and ran away with her sword in her arms, running to the place where she usually practiced swords.
Li Hao thought for a while, called the maid who accompanied her in sword practice, and asked, "What's wrong with Xue'er?"
"Reporting to the young master, Miss Xue'er was defeated in a swordsmanship duel at the martial arts arena." With Li Fu beside her, the waitress was still respectful even though she knew that the young master was a loser in martial arts.
"Just this little thing?"
Li Hao felt relieved and said: "Isn't it just a loss? Warriors, victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. It's enough to win again later. Why, she can't afford to lose?"
The waitress hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and said: "No, young master, the guy who defeated the young lady is more hateful. He criticized the young master in front of the young lady, so... the young lady is so angry."
"Ah?" Li Hao didn't expect that there was his own business involved. So, the little guy was fighting for himself?
Li Hao glanced at the distance. The little girl was already practicing her sword there, but she looked angry.
His eyes flickered slightly and he said to the waitress: "I understand, you go down first."
