Chapter 267: Deposing the True Dragon
Li Hao stood up, cleaned up briefly, and took Zhuhuo Shen and Xi Yan to the residence of the Li Family Divine General.
This time I came here to get my edict, official seal and other items.
According to the old man, the couple was unwilling to give it away. In this case, he had to come and get it himself.
Standing in front of this majestic general's palace again, Li Hao raised his head slightly and stared at the huge gilded words. Various memories of the past passed by quickly, but in the end, they all slowly sank to the bottom of his heart.
Upon hearing the news of Li Hao's arrival, there was an immediate commotion in the General's Mansion, and He Jianlan and others came to the door to greet him in person.
Li Hao explained the reason, and the nervous expectation that arose in the hearts of He Jianlan and others was quickly shattered and dimmed.
He Jianlan invited Li Hao to the Changchun Courtyard. As if he were a distinguished guest, Xuebai made tea for Li Hao in person, and then ordered someone to notify Li Tiangang of Shanhe Courtyard and ask him to deliver Li Hao's things.
When they learned that Li Hao was coming, other ladies in the mansion also rushed over. They knew that it would be a long time before the young man said goodbye to him again, or even many years later...
The formerly quiet Changchun courtyard suddenly became lively.
The news was sent to Shanhe Courtyard. Li Tiangang, who had been kneeling in the ancestral hall all night, had just returned to Shanhe Courtyard.
Last night, he planned to inspect the military situation in various places in Qingzhou after visiting his ancestors, but after entering the ancestral hall, he did not leave again.
He did not dare to conceal the inquiries of his ancestors and reported everything truthfully.
He did not defend himself, but gave an objective account. He also knew that he was indeed wrong in this matter. While explaining, he also had grief and regret on his face.
After hearing this, many heroic ancestors of the Li family were shocked, angry, and finally sad.
They couldn't believe that such an evil genius of the Li family was actually forced out of the Li family by his biological parents.
In the dark night, angry roars were blocked outside the ancestral hall door.
A series of denounced, sad and angry curses were all hidden under the darkness of the night.
Only Li Qingzheng, who was sitting outside the ancestral hall, heard it, but he leaned with his back under the peach blossom tree that had just bloomed outside the ancestral hall square. A few peach petals fell under the tree, and beside him were several jars of wine brought back from Yunxia Tower. .
Pour and drink by yourself.
He could clearly hear the angry curses of many ancestors in the ancestral hall behind him, but he did not feel relaxed, and even his mood did not fluctuate, like the surface of a dead lake.
He just looked at the bright moon and the lights in the courtyards of the Shenjiang Mansion illuminated by the bright moon. The warm lights were in sharp contrast to the darkness.
There are thousands of lights, but the most precious one is missing.
The wine poured from his mouth, but slowly seeped out from his eyes.
At this moment, Li Tiangang, who had just dragged his tired body back to Shanhe Courtyard, felt a pain in his heart when he saw his wife who was still sitting in the hall, looking haggard and looking like she had not slept all night.
But before he could sit down, he received news from Changchun Academy.
When he learned that it was Li Hao who had come, he was filled with joy. But when he learned that the other party was here to get the official seal and edict, the joy that had just risen in his heart was extinguished like cold water, and bursts of grief tore him apart.
He went directly to Changchun Yuan.
When Ji Qingqing heard the news, her numb and empty eyes came back to reality as if she were frightened, and wet tears welled up in her already dry eyes.
She quickly stood up and flew straight into the air to chase after Changchun Courtyard.
In Changchun Courtyard, Li Yuanzhao, Li Wushuang and others rushed over after hearing the news. They looked at the young man surrounded by elders. The scene seemed to be the same as usual, only more eager than usual.
Li Hao laughed and chatted with He Jianlan and others, and they asked about Li Hao's future plans.
Li Hao just smiled and said that he planned to visit and walk everywhere in the future, see mountains and rivers, and see the scenery in various places.
Since he came to this world, he naturally wanted to look around to see if this world could satisfy him.
Hearing Li Hao's words, Li Xiaoran, who was sitting on another eaves outside the hall, had a slightly bitter taste in his mouth.
If that young man was still a member of the Li family, when he said these words, he could only feel nostalgic, nostalgic for the fact that he was like this when he was young and energetic, hiding his name, wandering around the mountains and rivers, and defeating all the major sects.
But he has a return date, travels through mountains and rivers, and finally has a hometown.
And wherever that young man settles, that is where he calls home.
The soft whispers in the hall were soon broken by two whistles. Li Tiangang and Ji Qingqing rushed over one after another and landed in the courtyard.
Li Xiaoran on the eaves, the bitter smile on his lips faded away.
The whispers in the hall seemed to have quieted down. Everyone's eyes fell on Li Tiangang. He Jianlan lowered her gaze slightly and saw that Li Tiangang's hand was empty. Her face changed slightly and she said:
"Tiangang, where are Haoer's things?"
Li Tiangang didn't seem to hear her words and walked straight into the hall. He seemed to only have eyes for the young man sitting upright.
The grief in his chest was like a burning fire or a carving knife, burning and stinging in his heart. He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said: "What on earth do you want to do before you are willing to forgive?" Me and your mother?”
Li Hao frowned slightly and said, "I said, we have nothing to do with each other. Don't think of yourself as my parents anymore. Please respect yourself."
"Your mother has no choice. Is it possible that you want me to give you my life now?!"
Li Tiangang gritted his teeth and said.
Li Hao's frown deepened, and his eyes became a little colder: "I said, the past is in the past. From now on, the mountains are mountains, the sea is the sea, you are you, I It’s me, didn’t I say it clearly enough?”
"Do you know how much we are suffering these days? Your mother sheds tears every day and regrets day and night. We are also in pain!"
Li Tiangang's eyes were red, and under his thick eyebrows, anger welled up in his sad eyes.
"..."
Li Hao glanced at him quietly and understood again that this man was the same as before, never changed, even though he was regretful and sad, he still never heard his words.
But fortunately, now he has no trouble with it.
Since he couldn't listen, there was no need to say anything more. He picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip.
He Jianlan saw that the atmosphere was deadlocked again, but she became a little excited. She stood up and said: "Tiangang, why are you here talking about this? No matter how painful you are, can Hao'er suffer? He almost died several times!"
Li Tiangang's expression changed and his eyes were sad, "But what can we do?"
He Jianlan gritted his teeth and said, "Hao'er didn't make it clear enough. He has nothing to do with you anymore. He is here to get his glory. That is his contribution in Liangzhou. Did you bring it?!"
Hearing the sister-in-law's harsh words, Li Tiangang's heart trembled, and the grief in his eyes deepened.
He looked up at He Jianlan, then at Li Hao who was drinking tea and no longer speaking, gritted his teeth and said:
"Since you have cut off your bloodline and let go of the past, why are you still here?"
Li Hao put down the tea cup, his expression as calm as water, and said:
"Just because I put it down, I came."
After saying these words, He Jianlan and others felt pain in their hearts, knowing that this young man had really let go.
But this also made them seem even more distant from this young man.
Li Tiangang's expression turned ugly and he said, "Do you want me to beg you? Then can I beg you in public now and beg you to come back?" He Jianlan changed his face and said angrily: "Are you begging for help?"
Li Hao shook his head slightly to signal He Jianlan not to be angry. He turned to look at Li Tiangang seriously and said:
"Stop pestering me. Aren't you abiding by the law? I have nothing to do with the Li family anymore. What do you mean by secretly detaining my official seal and edict?"
Li Tiangang's face was ugly, and his mood was extremely complicated. He could analyze things on the battlefield in detail, but these household matters made him a mess.
He only knew in his heart that if he gave that thing to Li Hao, it would be completely broken.
"child……"
Ji Qingqing stepped forward with tears on her face and wanted to pray.
But when Li Hao saw her pear blossoms with rain, his brows furrowed, and he stood up and said, "Well, since it's okay if you don't give it, then I don't want it."
After saying that, he turned to look at He Jianlan and others, looked around, and then bowed and saluted:
"Junior Haotian, farewell to all seniors, thank you for your care in the past, and we will meet again in the future."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to He Jianlan again, then directly bypassed Li Tiangang and his wife in the hall and walked outside.
"Stop!"
Li Tiangang said hurriedly.
"Hao'er!"
Ji Qingqing chased after him sadly, but was blocked by a force, which was Li Hao's realm.
Li Hao's footsteps didn't stop until he looked at a rickety figure at the door.
The cold look that had just remained on his face suddenly softened, and he whispered:
"Uncle Zhao, why didn't you come last night? I was waiting to toast you."
When Butler Zhao at the door heard this, he lowered his head and wiped away his tears, and said with a forced smile: "Master, my old servant has a lot of work to do. I'm sorry for not going to the banquet. I hope you'll forgive me."
Li Hao also guessed the reason and was not surprised. He just smiled and said: "I am no longer the young master of Shanheyuan. From now on, just call me boy."
Butler Zhao shook his head slowly and said, "You will always be my young master."
Li Hao's lips moved slightly, looking at the true feelings in his eyes, without correcting him, he raised his hand and took out a demon king's heart from the space of heaven and earth:
"This demon heart can be used as medicine to extend life and shape the body." You accept the effect."
"Young master can't do it. This old servant has no use for such treasures..." Butler Zhao quickly shied away.
But Li Hao handed it to him directly and said: "It's not a treasure. I don't like the fishy smell of cooking. I have plenty here. If there is any shortage, just kill a few more."
Butler Zhao suddenly choked up. This child has not changed. He will always be the thing that everyone is chasing, treating him like a duckweed. Instead, he treats ordinary and trivial things as deeply as if he were deeply affectionate.
"child……"
Li Hao patted Uncle Zhao on the shoulder. Thinking that Li Fu had died in Liangzhou, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said nothing more.
When he walked out of the door, he saw Li Xiaoran on the eaves opposite. He nodded towards him and smiled slightly.
I also said goodbye to the old man who fought side by side in Mianhe.
Li Xiaoran just nodded slightly, his mind was reserved, and there was no idea on his face.
When Li Hao walked to the steps, Li Yuanzhao, Li Jianming and others in the courtyard hurriedly greeted him, but before they could speak, golden lights suddenly roared from a distance.
Those golden lights were clearly numerous ancestors of the Li family, rushing towards them from the direction of the ancestral hall.
The golden light at the head has a majestic physique and a slender figure. Even his soul is several times larger than other heroic souls. He is the ancestor of the Li family, Li Tianyuan.
Seeing the arrival of so many ancestors, everyone in the courtyard was shocked, and immediately knelt down and worshiped in a hurry.
When the servants and maids from various courtyards surrounding the courtyard heard the shouts of these young masters and ladies, they were all stunned and hurriedly knelt down and bowed their heads.
"Ancestor?"
He Jianlan and others in the hall heard the news and hurried out. When they saw Li Tianyuan actually appearing here, they were all shocked and knelt down to worship.
Ji Qingqing and Li Tiangang in the room also saw it, their expressions suddenly changed, and they quickly knelt down to worship.
In an instant, there was only one figure standing in the audience, and that was Li Hao.
Facing the dozens of heroic souls of the Li family's ancestors, Li Hao was a little surprised.
"child."
When Li Tianyuan saw Li Hao, his eyes were soft and he said softly:
"I have heard about you. It is your parents who are sorry for you. Although we have taught him a lesson, we cannot make up for you on their behalf. But can you please stay in Li for the sake of the rest of our Li family?" Home?"
Li Hao's expression was calm, and his face was like a breeze, and he said: "I have never forgotten the elders of the Li family who have treated me so kindly. We can meet each other wherever we are, regardless of whether we are in the Li family. I hope you will understand."
After hearing this, the faces of Li Tianyuan and many other ancestors' heroic souls changed. Some looked sad, and some sighed secretly, knowing that the child who cut off his bloodline could not be persuaded to come back with just a few words.
They came here just to try their best.
"Your father made a mistake. Although he was successful externally, he was arbitrary and biased at home. From today on, he will be deprived of his position as a true dragon."
Li Tianyuan whispered.
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the courtyard, and everyone was shocked. They did not expect that Li Tiangang's position as a true dragon would be deprived of him by his ancestor himself.
In the past, only those who committed great mistakes and sins would have their ancestors personally take action with anger and depose the True Dragon. However, Li Tiangang successively fought in Yanbei and then defended Liangzhou. Although he made great achievements one after another, he was deprived of the position of True Dragon.
But everyone understands that, as the ancestors said, they have made great achievements in foreign affairs, but compared with these achievements, forcing Li Hao out of the God General's Mansion is really a stain on life that cannot be erased.
In the hall, Ji Qingqing was slightly startled and looked at the husband beside her.
But Li Tiangang looked sad and not shocked, as if he already knew.
In front of the steps at the entrance of the hall, Li Hao's expression was calm and unchanged.
As he said, he let go, so he came.
Therefore, the Li family's decision was of no importance to him.
"Although you don't have the blood of my Li family, as long as you are willing, I can make an exception and let you become the true dragon of my Li family. Our Li family will use all its resources to help you further your cultivation and hit the realm of hearing the Tao!"
Li Tianyuan looked at Li Hao and said solemnly.
The other ancestors of the Li family had long known their ancestor's decision, and they looked at the young man standing alone expectantly.
In the hall, He Jianlan, Gao Qingqing, Li Xuanli and others were all shocked. They were just a little surprised that their ancestors deposed Li Tiangang from the position of true dragon, but they could still understand it. They made an exception and allowed Li Hao, who no longer had the blood of the Li family, to serve as the true dragon of the Li family. Dragon, this is definitely an unprecedented example!
For a moment, they all looked at Li Hao with hope in their eyes.
