Chapter 169: Raising the Flag Five Thousand Miles Away
Seeing Li Hao reveal his identity with one glance, the boy's expression changed slightly.
He quietly glanced at the young man with a peaceful aura, but it was difficult to connect it with the fierce figure of the young man he had seen outside the pass in his mind.
But he knew that if he was not careful at this moment, he would lose his life.
"Meet the Major General."
He bowed respectfully and then said nervously:
"I was ordered to come here. When you were cleaning outside the pass, you destroyed the palaces and caves of the three demon kings. They asked our Tianji Palace to come over and ask how the young general plans to compensate?"
"compensate?"
Li Hao looked at him in surprise: "What compensation do they want?"
"They hope that you can apologize and promise not to infringe again and not to interfere with each other. In this case, they can also guarantee that Tianmen Pass will be in peace and allow you to guard it for three years."
The boy said respectfully, but his voice trembled slightly.
Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled: "You actually know that I will guard here for three years. It seems that you know me quite well. In this case, you just tell them that the compensation is here, they can do whatever they want. , but you have to come and get it in person.”
"this……"
The boy looked troubled and said: "Major General, we are discussing this. Don't be angry. You can't stay at Tianmen Pass forever. I advise you to think about it again."
"Um?"
Li Hao looked at him, his gaze suddenly seemed to be filled with immense power, pressing down on the boy, frightening him so much that the feathers all over his body emerged from his skin, almost revealing his original shape.
And his body also bent down and knelt on the ground.
"Major General, spare your life, Major General, spare your life..."
The boy's protruding beak hurriedly begged.
Li Hao withdrew his eyes and said calmly: "I have finished what I said. I want to make compensation. Let them come in person. What kind of compensation do you want for shrinking? Didn't your Tianji Palace tell them how I trampled them? From the top of the mountain?”
The boy said nervously: "We have said it, but they are very angry..."
Li Hao interrupted him and said, "Could it be that the real purpose of your coming here is to test my patience or something else?"
The boy's heart suddenly contracted, and he almost screamed in fright, but he just forced a smile on his face and said:
"How could it be? Although our Tianji Temple is a demon force, we have never participated in wars. We also have some cooperation with your human race. We just help spread the word."
"Oh, then tell me who among us humans you have cooperated with?"
"This, I don't know this, my cultivation level is too low..." The boy trembled.
Li Hao was too lazy to act with such a small character anymore, so he said coldly: "Go away."
"Yes, thank you Major General for sparing your life..."
The boy felt that the oppressive force on his body, like a cold light piercing his back, disappeared. He hurriedly got up and was about to leave.
"etc."
Li Hao stopped him and said coldly: "Are you going to leave empty-handed like this? Qianqian, give him my military flag."
Ren Qianqian was listening intently on the side. He was stunned when he heard the words. He reacted quickly and quickly pulled out the military flag on the side of the courtyard and threw it to the bird demon boy.
The harpy boy caught it and looked at Li Hao nervously and puzzled.
"Take my military flag, go back to the territory of your demons, and plant my military flag on the hilltop where I have traveled farthest. Your Tianji Temple should know which hilltop it is, right?"
Li Hao stared at the boy harpy with cold eyes: "When I go on a parade next time, if I see that my military flag has fallen down or is damaged, I will bloodbath the entire outside of the pass again, and I will increase the scope!"
"In addition, you Tianji Palace should be careful when you see me in the future."
Feeling Li Hao's undisguised murderous intent, the boy harpy was stunned and trembling with fear.
Let a demon help this young man plant the military flag?
Can't it collapse or break?
You know, the distance Li Hao pushed across before was five thousand miles outside the pass, which was the hinterland of the demon!
Now, this young man wants to stand his military flag under the eyes of those demons. This is a naked humiliation and intimidation!
Domineering, arrogant, and arrogant!
At this moment, in its eyes, the previously peaceful and gentle young man had long since disappeared. Instead, a stern young fighting god sat in front of it, making people bow their heads and tremble!
"I, I know."
After being shocked, the boy harpy agreed tremblingly.
It knew that the only reason it could get out of here alive was to complete this task for Li Hao. Otherwise, it would not be able to leave this small courtyard.
After the harpy boy tremblingly resigned and left, Ren Qianqian stepped forward with surprise on her face and said:
"Master, you went outside the Pass and destroyed all the Demon King's lairs?"
Li Hao nodded slightly. Seeing her stunned look, he smiled and said, "Practice your sword well, and you will be good at it in the future."
Ren Qianqian's heart skipped a beat and she smiled bitterly in her heart. Her only pursuit was to surpass the Grandmaster.
The Demon King...that is the existence of the Four Realms.
However, Li Hao's words seemed to open a wider door in her heart.
Her eyes sparkled and she felt her motivation to practice doubled.
Just when she turned around and was about to go practice sword practice, Li Hao stopped her and asked her to find some letter paper. He wanted a letter.
Ren Qianqian obediently went to the room to find the letter paper and asked doubtfully: "Master, who is this letter addressed to?"
"Give it to the Liangzhou Military Headquarters," Li Hao said.
"Ah?" Ren Qianqian was confused. Li Hao didn't seem to be familiar with the relationship there.
"The demon from Tianji Palace came here to test me."
Li Hao wrote while writing: "What kind of demon king is asking for compensation? If their information is in place, the demon king would not dare to mention it at all. How could he dare to threaten me? I think this bird demon came here just to test my bottom line, or maybe It is to test whether I will stay here for three years..."
Combined with the previous military report from the fifth uncle, he had some vague guesses in his mind. However, maybe he was too worried, but it was always better to be on guard.
Ren Qianqian opened her eyes slightly. The amount of information in Li Hao's words was a bit large, and she couldn't digest it for a while.
Only one thing was captured. When facing Li Hao, the demon king didn't even have the guts to offer compensation?
What did Li Hao do outside the customs?
Soon, Li Hao wrote the letter and gave it to Ren Qianqian, asking her to give it to Li Hongzhuang and send it to the fifth uncle, Li Xuanli.
After doing this, Li Hao took back his thoughts and continued painting.
…
Under the attention of many warriors and soldiers, the boy bird demon flew out of this new border city in fear, and then soared into the sky.
After flying into the clouds, it started to accelerate, and it didn't slow down until it was seven or eight hundred miles away. There were several birds in front of it stopping in the clouds, waiting for it to approach.
"Why did you steal a military flag back?"
One of the red birds changed shape and turned into a girl in a red dress. She recognized that the military flag in the boy's harpy's hand was Li Hao's war flag, and couldn't help but say silently.
The boy harpy almost choked when he heard this. Steal?
I'm so full that I can steal that guy's flag!
"Lord Protector, I didn't steal this, that kid forced it on me." The boy harpy said, calling the young man "boy" directly.
"Um?"
The girl in the red dress was confused and said: "Why did he give you the military flag?"
"Let me stick it on the hill he flattened, and the battle flag won't be damaged, otherwise it will cause trouble for our Tianji Palace, and we will have to cleanse the outside of the pass again." The boy bird demon said angrily.
The girl in the red dress and the three flying birds next to her were both stunned. Isn't this too overbearing?
"What about the things I told you? How was the temptation?"
The girl in the red dress glanced at the direction where the door was closed that day, and then asked.
"That guy is so shrewd. I just mentioned it a little bit and he almost noticed it."
The boy bird demon thought of all the previous events, and the anger on his face turned into a trace of palpitations, and said: "From what he said, I really have no intention of leaving this Tianmen Pass. That agreement is true."
The girl in the red dress frowned and asked him to tell him what happened in detail.
After hearing this, her brows furrowed even more tightly, "This young man is indeed a serious problem for us, and it's time to let Longmen and the Holy Palace know about it. If such hidden dangers are not eliminated, there will be endless troubles in the future."
"good."
The boy harpy nodded in understanding.
"But looking at the situation, he shouldn't leave Tianmen Pass easily and participate in the war in Liangzhou. When the time comes, the great elder of Longmen comes out of the pass and we can deal with him together."
The girl in the red dress said, glanced at the military flag in his hand, and said:
"Let's go. You go and plant this military flag. Just seal a mountain to him and send a message to the surrounding monsters not to get close to that mountain. To avoid the danger for now."
"Um."
Several birds immediately flew further away.
…
Liangzhou, west.
A blood eagle flew into the military camp and landed on the arm of a deputy general. The deputy general took the letter wrapped in oil paper spit out from the blood eagle's mouth, turned around and quickly delivered it to Li Xuanli in the tent.
"A letter from my little sister?"
Li Xuanli was a little surprised when he heard the report from the deputy general's personal entourage. He had just sent a letter to Tianmen Pass when he received a reply.
Now is a special period. Close correspondence is not a good thing and can easily be intercepted.
He opened the envelope and looked through it quickly. Soon, his expression became solemn.
"The demon has the intention to attack Liangzhou?"
"How did Hao'er know?"
When Li Xuanli saw that the letter was actually sent by that young man, he was surprised and a little surprised at the same time.
The letter did not state the reason, but only stated that it was a speculation and asked him to pay attention to the demon's movements.
Combined with the previous situation of the overseas demon's retreat, Li Xuanli suddenly felt shocked. Could it be that the demon's retreat was really just a pretense and had no real intention to leave Liangzhou.
He put away the letter and immediately called the deputy general to follow him. He kept an eye on the grass and trees outside the pass and asked the original reconnaissance team to investigate further areas.
…
…
Time flies.
Tianmen Pass, Cangya City.
Not long after the harpy boy left, Li Hao set off again to the outside of the customs. In the areas he cleaned along the way, there were more demons wandering around like mushrooms after a rain, which he easily dealt with.
When he reached the farthest hilltop, Li Hao saw the military flag he had set up. There were no monsters around, and it seemed to be blocked. He also saw birds guarding him secretly. Only then was Li Hao satisfied, and then he patrolled from east to west. lock up.
Wherever he passed, Tianji Palace was like facing a formidable enemy, and it hurriedly and secretly notified the demons everywhere to ask them to take shelter.
These demons abandoned the newly built cave in panic, fled away, and waited for the young man to fly by before slowly returning.
But these kind of frightening days made some demons a little fed up and couldn't bear it, so they chose to move away and find another place.
Even if you are squeezing with the big monsters from other territories, you can avoid such uneasiness.
After the peace outside the customs calmed down, Li Hao called his warriors and asked them to use their respective networks to spread some news, find various art masters who were good at painting and chess, and invite them to Cangya City as guests.
During this period, Li Hao decomposed the corpse of the ghost girl and cooked it together with other big demons every day for everyone.
The experience of cooking skills increases rapidly. After reaching the seventh level, it takes 500,000 full experience to advance to the eighth level.
A big monster of the Four Realms can provide a huge amount of experience of thirty to forty thousand. For the original experience bar of one hundred thousand, one is close to half a pipe.
But now, it is less than one tenth.
Even the other big monsters were cooked and solved, and they only accumulated a little over 70,000 experience points.
Fortunately, tracing these monster corpses has brought Li Hao's painting experience to the sixth level. He can be promoted to the seventh level just by painting from the heart.
But before that, Li Hao planned to find an art first, condense the entrance and exit mind, and break the shackles of the third level of body skills. In this way, he can directly add points to the sixth level, and the body skills will increase sharply, even for some great demons of the Four Realms. Even the king may not be able to escape from his grasp.
Li Hao took out some various weapon refining materials from the demon and sent them to the Wanqi Building together with the Dragon Sky Sword.
Leave his signature.
Perform secondary casting.
This Wanqi Building is a semi-official force, and Li Hao is a border major general, so he doesn't dare to covet his things.
Li Hao tried the magic circle constructed by the old Xingxu official twice more, and both times easily suppressed the five big monsters.
The old Xingxiu officer checked repeatedly, but failed to find out what the problem was. Finally, he suddenly realized and suggested that Li Hongzhuang, a general at the peak of three immortals, test it.
As a result, Li Hongzhuang was beaten black and blue by five big demons outside the magic circle. She was defeated and retreated. Only then was she finally convinced that there was no problem with the magic circle, but Li Hao was the one with the problem.
For this reason, the old Xingxiu official and his students were speechless for a while. When they checked repeatedly before, they could say that they pulled their hair to pieces, but they couldn't find the cause. In the end, the cause was not on them at all.
It's because this young man's strength is too outrageous.
Who would have thought that this fourteen-year-old boy would have power beyond that of ordinary demon kings?
The old man Xingxu Guan and others were both helpless and secretly excited. The existence of Li Hao undoubtedly heralded the rise of the Dayu Dynasty in the future. If this young man is given more time, Dayu will have a new one in the future. God of War, stand side by side with the real person from Qiandao Palace!
Taking the students with him, the old Xingxu official said goodbye to Li Hao.
Before Xia Xianglan left, she looked at Li Hao with some nostalgia and said, "Will you always be here?"
"When no demons dare to invade here, I will leave."
Li Hao smiled.
Xia Xianglan nodded, and then said: "I am from the Xia family, and we are both from the Shenjiang Mansion family. If you are free, you are welcome to come to the Xia family at any time."
Li Hao shook his head slightly: "But I am not from the Shenjiang Mansion family, I am just a layman."
"But you..."
Xia Xianglan wanted to say something, but was stopped by the old man Xingsu Guan. The old man Xingsu Guan glanced at Li Hao, sighed inwardly, and called his students to leave.
Li Hao sent them out of Longguandao before returning.
In the idle time, time flies by.
This dangerous place outside the pass rarely becomes quiet, and the city is becoming more and more prosperous and lively.
The caravans and escort agencies that came from various cities to transport supplies also spread the news back to let people in each city know that Tianmen Pass is now a very strong fortress, and Cangya City is also an extremely prosperous and lively place.
As caravans and passengers gathered, gradually, people settled here, bought and rented houses, and did business here.
Eliminating the need for transportation back and forth, the items they sell are more expensive than inland, but still cost-effective.
The world is bustling, and everyone is going there for the benefit of others.
More and more people are coming to Cangya City. If there is a need, they will be provided. Then there are tourists, and many famous heroes who travel in the world also visit Cangya City, wanting to see the scenery outside the pass.
Li Hao was sitting in a small fenced courtyard in the city.
No one disturbs.
He picked the music and took it to heart, playing the piano and listening to the music every day. Occasionally he would go outside the city, sit on the snowy mountains, and listen quietly to the sound of the arrival of spring - the sound of melting snow.
Today, the snow outside the pass is gradually disappearing, revealing a large area of black soil buried under the white snow.
The black soil gradually gave way to green buds.
In the process of Li Hao's music getting into his heart, some art masters previously invited by his warriors through their connections also visited Cangya City.
Li Hao invited them to the courtyard, played the piano, talked about painting, played chess and tasted wine with them, just like a noble man from aristocratic family enjoying themselves.
But the warriors in the border area all know how talented this young man is, and they have no other thoughts except being curious about him.
Li Hongzhuang was surprised to see that Li Hao did not practice, but instead spent all day leisurely and cultivating his sentiments. However, she did not care too much. She focused on the results, regardless of the process of Li Hao's cultivation. The results were already beyond comparison.
That's enough.
These art masters originally thought that Li Hao was just on a whim, mainly with the idea of making human connections.
As a result, after careful discussion, some art masters almost couldn't bear it. Some of the expert questions asked by Li Hao made it difficult for them to answer some of them. They were secretly surprised and at the same time respected the young man.
Although they were in awe of warriors, they were only in awe of their power. However, there was someone who could discuss with them what they had studied for many years. This respect was admiration, appreciation, admiration and joy.
Through these art masters, Li Hao looks for illustrations of masterpieces.
The result was an unexpected gain.
A master painter is willing to give you a famous painting that he has collected for many years.
A chess master who was known as a little chess saint gave Li Hao two chess records.
Unfortunately, one of the chess records was not a famous record and could not be included.
In addition, they also mentioned some other clues about famous paintings and who collected them.
Li Hao wrote them down one by one and planned to find someone to visit and see if the other party was willing to transfer them.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, the snow melted.
It was spring next year.
