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, but he actually has such terrifying strange power. Even if he has reached the tenth level of the Tongli realm and the Marquis has revived his divine blood, it shouldn't be such an exaggeration, 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 - to assassinate. he.

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 terrifying 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 was extremely famous."

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 trace 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 kinds of death. 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 he felt a chill. 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 pure heart.

"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 one 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 fallen long ago, and now the frontal battlefield has reached a stalemate. Lord Baishen 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 influence on 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, was stunned, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything anymore.

Li Hao didn't say anything more, just said: "I promised you that I would let you die happily."

"Hehe, you are a good person." The skinny young man came back to his senses and smiled with a hint of sarcasm.

No matter what he said, he would eventually die. There was some fear in his eyes. He didn't want to die, but he was afraid of death. Otherwise, how could he fall to the point of working for the demons?

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 long while, he came back to his senses, with a bitter smile on his face: "But unfortunately, I have never defeated you."

"Next life."

Li Hao began to exert force with his palm: "Don't practice martial arts in the next life, just play chess honestly, at least live longer and relax."

The skinny young man wanted to struggle, but seeing Li Hao's cold and calm eyes, there was only despair in his heart, and he said bitterly: "You are such a strange child."

In the end, Li Hao still crushed him to death.

When he was about to suffocate, the skinny young man resisted fiercely again, but it didn't work.

After getting rid of the assassin, Li Hao remembered that he didn't know the other party's real name.

And the name of the servant used by the other party to sneak in was also given by the Li family.

But.

That's fine.

……

……

The assassin died, Li Hao called the servant and scared the servant half to death.

That night, the whole God General's Mansion was shaken.

The lights in all the courtyards were on, and the ladies of all the courtyards who had fallen asleep hurried over in their clothes. When they saw the body of the assassin lying in front of the chess table, they were all shocked.

What kind of place is the God General's Mansion? How could an assassin sneak into it?

He Jianlan's dignified and calm temperament disappeared. She hugged Li Hao nervously and looked him up and down: "Are you okay?"

"Auntie, I'm fine." Li Hao comforted her.

He Jianlan waited until she found that Li Hao was indeed uninjured before she felt relieved. Then she asked him carefully, and Li Hao also told him the story he had already thought of.

The assassin attacked by surprise, and an old man shot him to death when he was in danger.

Then the old man disappeared.

Li Hao thought, since an assassin could sneak into the God General's Mansion, it should be no problem for me to make up an old man, right?

Anyway, you don't even know the assassin, so it's normal not to know other masters, right?

After hearing Li Hao's words, He Jianlan's heart was shocked, and some guesses suddenly emerged. Could it be that the military master secretly sent by Xing Wuhou?

Or... that clan elder?

She suppressed her guesses in her heart and did not doubt Li Hao's words.

After all, no matter how precocious Li Hao was, he was just a child under seven years old.

And he had not yet entered the martial arts world. If there was no master to protect him secretly, he would definitely die.

Then, He Jianlan asked Xuejian to take Li Hao and the little girl Bian Ruxue to Changchun Courtyard to rest first to calm the children.

And she sat in the lobby of Shanhe Courtyard, called the servant who had accompanied Li Hao to play chess before, and the first servant who was startled by Li Hao's shout, and interrogated them carefully in this courtyard.

At the same time, she called the masters in the mansion to check the assassin's body.

Not long after, she learned the whole story from the servant.

When did the assassin enter the mansion, how did he show his chess talent, how did he behave in front of the servants of Shanhe Courtyard, how did he get close to him, etc.

Obviously, the other party had inquired about Li Hao's intelligence and deliberately approached him by playing chess. Everything was traceable.

In the second half of the night, the results of the body examination came out. The assassin was in the Zhoutian realm, about the third to fourth level.

This realm is considered a good ranger level in the outside world, and can also be chivalrous and righteous in the world, and make a little name, but in the God General Mansion where there are so many strong people, it is definitely an extremely ordinary existence.

However, this level of cultivation is more than enough to kill a six-year-old child, even using a butcher knife to kill a mosquito, which is very exaggerated.

Moreover, the other party had taken some special elixir to close his own aura, which led to no one noticing it.

Hearing this result, the ladies of each courtyard were all scared. If it was not Li Hao who was assassinated today, but their children, they would definitely die!

A Zhoutian killer suddenly appeared next to a child, which was too terrifying.

When Liu Yuerong heard the autopsy results, she slowly let go of the suspicions in her mind.

Even if Li Hao's divine blood was not abolished, it would be impossible for her to kill the assassin by herself.

It seems that although the couple was at the border, they had made sufficient preparations for their child.

Thinking of this, she was secretly afraid that no one should have noticed that she had drugged him. After all, it was the Shuihua Courtyard that did the job, and there were also strong people in her courtyard.
