Chapter 253 His Name

The veteran of the Xia family was about to turn back when he suddenly heard the sound of bones and blood bursting. He couldn't help but be startled. He turned around and saw a shocking scene.

The big demon, who had an arrogant attitude and a relaxed face just now, now actually seems to have been crushed by something, and his true form has not even been revealed.

And among the exploding flesh and blood, a figure struggled to rush out, but as soon as it flew out, it was squeezed extremely hard, wailed and dissipated, and its soul was destroyed.

The shrill scream before his death made many Xia family soldiers at the top of Liyang City stunned and looked at this strange scene in amazement.

On the official road under the city wall, a young man came briskly on horseback. Looking at the closed city gate, he raised his head and said:

"Old sir, can you let them open the lower city gate?"

The young man's cry in front of the city gate made the Xia family veteran react in mid-air. He looked down and suddenly had a look of horror on his face.

The young man was sitting on the horse with a calm and breezy appearance. Although he was dressed in simple and rough linen clothes, his facial features were as handsome as the flowing clouds in the picture. His temperament was unique and unforgettable, giving people a quiet and leisurely feeling.

His sight extended to the back of the young man, and he immediately saw the official road that was already stained with the blood of the family's children. The waves of demons lurking on both sides of the official road all fell down and lost their breath.

"you……"

The Xia family veteran's pupils shrank and he looked at the young man in shock. In his eyes, the latter was more terrifying than a monster at the moment.

On the top of the city, following the inexplicable death of the big demon of the Three Immortal Realms, several other Xia family generals also chased to the magic circle in shock. When they saw the situation outside the city, they found that there was only a young man on horseback outside the city.

"Did you kill the monster?"

The veteran of the Xia family did not dare to fly into the air and quickly landed in front of the young man. If the big demon was killed by the young man in front of him, this young man's strength would be too terrifying and he must be in the Four Standing Realm.

And for such a young being who could rival the Four Realms, he could only think of one name.

It's the one from Liangzhou.

"Um."

Li Hao nodded slightly, there was no need to cover up such a small matter:

"I heard that the Xia family was in trouble, and I happened to be passing by, so I helped you solve it."

Seeing the young man's admission, the veteran of the Xia family shrank his pupils and said in a trembling voice: "You, are you that Major General Haotian?!"

His face was full of shock, and he soon became excited.

The story of Liangzhou has long been spread. Although it is not under the jurisdiction of the Xia family, the young man's reputation is spread among the armies of all nineteen states.

Suppressing demons alone and rescuing Liangzhou, which has been completely occupied by the border, is just like the young man who guarded Cangzhou more than ten years ago, like a general star born out of the sky, dazzling and brilliant.

Moreover, that young man can kill the demon king, and now that he appears here, Liyang City can be saved! !

Seeing Li Hao's smiling face, the veteran of the Xia family suddenly woke up and realized that he was being rude. He quickly bowed and said:

"I've met Duke Haotian!"

In the past, they always addressed him as "Young General", just because they heard too many rumors and it just made sense.

However, since Liangzhou turned from danger to safety, the DPRK and the Central Government had been arguing for a long time, and the reward had already been issued.

After all, it has been two months since the war ended.

The reward was sent to Qingzhou, to the palace of the illustrious general, and was received on his behalf, and the title of the reward was also announced to the world from the imperial city.

Created a third-class Duke!

He jumped directly from earl to marquis, and directly became Duke of Dayu. Just by his title, he already stood above countless powerful officials. Even ordinary princes must be treated politely when they see his status.

In addition to the promotion of title, he was also promoted from the position of Major General to General of Liangzhou Dutong. This is a real official position, ranking first-class!

He is an extremely human minister, on the same level as the Prime Minister. Except for a few people in the entire divine dynasty, no one who is currently in office can clearly surpass this young man in terms of official status.

And his title status is something that only a few of the older generation of the five great generals can touch.

"Duke?"

Li Hao was a little surprised. Although he knew he would be rewarded, he didn't expect to skip the Marquis directly.

The "Nine Uncle" who rescued Cangzhou was not inferior to him in terms of merits. It was just that the demonic forces that brought disaster to Cangzhou were not as numerous and powerful at that time. However, there was manipulation from the vassal country behind the scenes, so he was killed. Arriving at the royal court outside the Pass also led to his own downfall.

"No gift."

Seeing that the other party was always hunched and bowing, Li Hao said immediately.

The veteran of the Xia family raised his head and said excitedly: "Your Excellency, you are here. We, the people of Liyang City, are saved. Thank you for your help. On behalf of the people of Liyang City, I would like to thank the Duke for your great kindness!"

After saying that, he had to kneel down.

Previously, Liyang City had been besieged for many days, and people were in panic. Everyone in the city had already smelled the smell of being massacred by demons, but now, as if the clouds were clearing and the sun appeared, all the gloom suddenly disappeared.

Li Hao raised his hand and said, "It's just a casual thing, no need to be so polite. If you really want to thank me, see if there are any famous paintings or chess records in your city, and collect some for me."

The veteran of the Xia family was surprised, but he had also heard that in addition to martial arts, the young man seemed to be proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was both civil and martial arts. He sighed with emotion in his heart, and quickly smiled and said:

"Of course they are all there, I'll let them look for them."

With that said, he ordered people to open the city gate and invite Li Hao in.

At the same time, several other young major generals flew over.

The veteran of the Xia family quickly told them about the murder of the demon outside the city. When they learned that it was the young man in front of them and the identity of Li Hao, they were all stunned and looked at the young man in shock.

"Really him?"

Among the several major generals, a female general looked at the young man blankly. Her thoughts suddenly turned to the official road of Qizhou two years ago.

At that time, she was deeply impressed by the young man sitting upright in the carriage. He was guarding a city at the age of fourteen.

Soon after, I heard news about that young man again, and he became famous in Qingzhou.

Later, at the age of fifteen, he rescued Liangzhou and became famous all over the world.

"This is Xia Qingshuang, the genius of my Xia family."

"This is Xia Yucheng..."

The veteran general of the Xia family quickly introduced several young major generals of the Xia family to Li Hao, hoping to use this to connect them with Li Hao's connections.

Although they all know the news that Li Hao betrayed the Li family, the young man's fame no longer needs the Divine General's Mansion to establish a reputation for him. He is famous in his own right.

Now, the Duke, who is less than sixteen years old, is a very popular minister and can kill the demon king. No one wants to offend him.

When introduced by the senior generals of the Xia family, these major generals of the Xia family were forced to bow and salute due to Li Hao's title and official position. They were shocked and excited, but also felt a little embarrassed.

After all, they are the darlings of the Xia family, and the young man in front of them is from the Li family. They are both of the younger generation. They are seven or eight years older than the other party, or even ten years old. When they see the other party, they have to bow their heads and salute, making them feel that they are on their backs. Xia Jiarongguang seemed to bend down as well.

However, although the five great generals guard each side separately, their official positions and titles are unified in the dynasty. Li Hao will be treated as a distinguished guest wherever he goes in his current status. They dare not be disrespectful, otherwise it will not be Li Hao who is disobedient, but his majesty. , which is also the law of the dynasty for thousands of years.

Li Hao was riding on the horse and just nodded slightly, which was regarded as saying hello.

Everyone greeted Li Hao politely and took him to the city lord's mansion.

In the palace, the two young major generals looked at each other awkwardly.

Earlier in the meeting hall, they were firmly opposed to pulling the tiger skin coat of the boy's war flag, questioning its lack of deterrence. This move also embarrassed the Xia family. As a result, the real master arrived in the blink of an eye, and was still right in front of them. They couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed. Guilty.

"General Haotian, how did you kill those three immortal realm demons? We didn't even see you take action..."

Xia Yuanming asked curiously.

Previously, he was the one who was most opposed to using Li Hao's battle flag, but now that he saw the rightful owner, he felt a little frightened. After all, the young man's deeds of killing seven demon kings in a row were obvious to all and could not be faked.

After hearing his words, Xia Qingshuang also stared at Li Hao.

She still remembered that when she was guarding Qizhou, it was rumored that the young man was already in the Fifteen Miles Realm.

It’s only been two years now…

"Your level is not enough, even if you tell me, you won't understand."

Li Hao said to this young man calmly and without any intention of ridicule.

When Xia Yuanming heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and a little bit ashamed, but thinking that the other party had saved Liyang City after all, he didn't take it to heart, but he stopped flattering him.

However, the veteran of the Xia family felt that Li Hao's answer was normal. He looked at Xia Yuanming with some reproach. The attack method was a secret of martial arts. This was a bit presumptuous to ask.

"General, it was previously rumored that you were being chased by the demon king in the Taixu Realm. Did you just escape?"

He asked politely, changing the subject.

During this period, countless people's eyes were focused on the Changhe River outside Liangzhou, but there was no movement there. Unexpectedly, the person they were waiting for suddenly appeared in Youzhou.

"So be it."

Li Hao responded and immediately asked him about Liangzhou.

Although I knew something about it from the waiter in the store before, now that he was the general of the Xia family, the information I had was completely different.

After understanding it, Li Hao felt completely relieved. Liangzhou was indeed at peace.

However, although Liangzhou was peaceful, wars broke out in other states of Dayu.

The old general of the Xia family told Youzhou. Nowadays, Youzhou is besieged on all sides. There is a war with Gluttony Valley, the top force among the monsters. If Li Hao hadn't arrived today, it wouldn't take long for the monsters to break through in this northwest direction. .

And this Liyang City is not the main battlefield in Youzhou.

There have been frequent reports of battles in the east, and the main strength of the Xia family is concentrated there.

After the Xia family veteran finished speaking, he suddenly knelt down on one knee to Li Hao and begged Li Hao to help the Xia family.

The other young major generals of the Xia family were stunned. They never expected that this uncle would pay such a courtesy to Li Hao.

Li Hao helped the other party up, frowned slightly, and thought: "I can't take action on this matter rashly. You'd better ask the head of your Xia family for instructions."

Hearing what Li Hao said, the veteran of the Xia family immediately understood that the young man in front of him was not simple-minded. He tried to ask the young man to come forward on his own, but his kindness was obviously not enough.

"I will report it to the head of the family. I hope you can stay in Liyang City for a few more days."

The Xia family veteran said quickly.

Li Hao nodded slightly: "That's okay, but I'm still waiting to return to Liangzhou, so I can't stay longer. Just three days."

"Three days..."

The Xia family veteran suddenly became nervous and agreed.

Then someone was immediately sent to arrange a place for Li Hao.

But Li Hao did not live in the city lord's mansion, but asked them to find him a secluded courtyard in the city.

After Li Hao left, the veteran of the Xia family quickly sent someone to deliver the letter, which was sent to the family in a hurry.

When Li Hao entered the city, above Liyang City, a bird demon watching from high altitude overlooked everything.

When it saw the strangely dead demon on the official road and the fallen demon of the Third Immortal Realm, its originally relaxed expression suddenly turned into horror, and it almost shook off its feathers.

Then, it saw the young man on horseback being respectfully invited to the city by the elder of the Xia family. There was no doubt that all this was the work of the young man.

And he could kill the big demon so easily, and he was a young man. The combination of the two had only one identity.

The young man who was said to be trapped in the Netherworld-level Dead River, he came back?

Guessing this, the bird demon quickly left in a hurry and flew to a hundred miles away from Liyang City, where the demon tide was stationed, and there were two three immortal realm big demons in it.

At this moment, on the top of the mountain, two big demons were drinking. One of them had a hidden breath and was biting a person's leg in his hand. He looked very relaxed and comfortable while drinking.

The bird demon of Tianji Palace flew over in a panic and quickly informed the information.

"What?!"

"That guy from Liangzhou, is he here?!"

"Didn't he say he was in the Dead River?"

The two big demons suddenly lost color and repeatedly confirmed with the bird demon. Finally, with panic and fear, they quickly ordered the demons to retreat for the time being.

The vast demon tide gathered here retreated rapidly like a tide under the secret observation of the Xia family's sentinels outside the city.

Afterwards, the bird demon also passed the news back to Tianji Hall, and the Tianji Hall branch in Youzhou discussed it and quickly passed it to the battlefield on the front line of Youzhou.

Almost at the same time when the Xia family in Youzhou City received the news, the hilltop where the master of Gluttony Valley sat on the front line of the demon battlefield also received the news from Tianji Hall.

The young general from Liangzhou, he came to Youzhou!
