Chapter 91: Title and Reward [First Update]
The day after the Li family banquet ended.
Distant Yuzhou, the imperial city.
In that luxurious palace where countless eyes from all over the world gathered, but it was difficult to climb over the many high walls.
An ancient palace that has stood for thousands of years is solemn and solemn. A majestic dark golden dragon scale carpet is laid out from the door to the steps of the dragon chair in the palace.
Hundreds of civil and military officials living in Yuzhou are displayed on both sides.
From the first-rank ministers, masters, masters, generals, etc., to the fourth-rank officials from various prefectures, the Imperial College, etc., they all bowed their heads in solemnity.
The lowest among these official positions, stamping his feet can make the people of dozens of cities bow their heads and prostrate themselves.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"The Li family in Qingzhou held a family banquet yesterday to spread the word to the world that the Li family has a son of genius again!"
Someone said respectfully.
The majestic figure sitting on the deep and solemn dragon throne, although he looks old, has a tall and straight body. He is wearing nine black dragon robes, his eyes are as unblinking as candlelight, and he looks down at the ministers.
Hearing this, there seemed to be a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Qilin is the Li Hao whom you blessed and named fourteen years ago!"
"He is also the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment who came here a few days ago to accept the title, the son of Marquis Xingwu!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The other ministers couldn't help but praise Daoxi.
"Your Majesty saw that this boy has extraordinary talent fourteen years ago. He is really like a star descending from the mortal world. It is really a blessing for me, the Great Yu!"
Some people said happily with excited faces.
"Fourteen years ago, the Marquis of Zhenguo pacified Cangzhou's centuries-old demon problem, killed the big demon, and slain the demon king. Unfortunately, he was involved in the Youdu-level death river, and he hated Cangzhou. His heroic soul has no home to this day."
"Perhaps, this Li Hao is the reincarnation of the star of Zhen Guohou, the new blessed general given to me by God!"
someone said impassionedly.
Facing the congratulations of the ministers, the figure on the dragon throne and the thoughts in his eyes seemed to be pulled back to that sad day more than ten years ago.
The baby who was given the dragon's blood jade has now grown into a young man. Has he achieved such an achievement?
There was a faint smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to pass outside the hall, looking towards Qingzhou thousands of miles away.
"Your Majesty, this son is extremely talented, but has never been famous before. I believe that the Li family needs an explanation."
After the congratulations were over, someone suddenly stood up and said: "You should be punished for deceiving Your Majesty!"
Everyone was surprised and looked slightly sideways. When they saw that it was the Marquis of the Helian family who was also in the Divine General's Mansion, they suddenly realized that this was not surprising.
Among the five great divine generals, some of them have relatively close relationships, such as the Wang family and the Li family, who have marriage contracts.
Where there is intimacy, there is naturally distance, and those who even despise each other are the Li family and the Helian family.
Seeing that His Majesty did not speak, another general stepped out. He was a second-rank commander who had gone on an expedition with the Li family. He said respectfully:
"Master Marquis, I think that the Marquis Xingwu and his wife have been fighting in Yanbei for many years, leaving only their children alone in the courtyard with no support. Naturally, they want to hide their cultivation to avoid being secretly spied on. This is understandable!"
"snort!"
Helian Boya snorted coldly: "Although the youngest son is young, he is protected by many military officers in the Divine General's Mansion. Who can assassinate him? Are you questioning the loyalty of the wives of the Li family and thinking that they will frame the youngest son?"
Most of the ladies of the Li family have been awarded a certain rank. For example, the eldest wife He Jianlan is a first-class royal lady.
Although he has no real power, he has a very high status and can directly enter the palace to meet the saint at any time. Even if he makes a mistake, the criminal department is not allowed to punish him directly.
"I believe that the Li family has suppressed demons for many years and killed countless demons. Countless demons have long held grudges. There is nothing wrong in being so defensive."
Na Dutong still lowered his head and said.
Helian Boya sneered and said: "Are you saying that there are still demons in Qingzhou who dare to invade? Do you dare to look down on the Li family?"
"Master Marquis, I think it makes sense for the Li family to act so cautiously. Now that Li Hao has reached the fifteenth mile realm, he has the ability to protect himself. If he aspires to be the grandmaster in a few years, he will be able to do so in the world, and he will not be able to protect himself. There will be no worries again.”
Another civil servant walked out and said with a smile: "Besides, this time Wu Hou has just returned, and he has announced it to the world. He has no intention of deceiving His Majesty. It is just a trivial matter. Why should the Marquis take it seriously?"
"Since it's a trivial matter, you shouldn't lie about it." Helian Boya still said.
Everyone secretly shook their heads, feeling that the Marquis' attack this time was unreasonable, but they were used to it.
In the past few years, except for the death of the real dragon of the Li family fourteen years ago, the Helian family did not dare to say a word. Most of the time, they had to say a few words.
Including this time that Marquis Xing Wu returned triumphantly from Yanbei, quelled the demon rebellion, repulsed the Holy Palace, and made great achievements. The Marquis of the Helian family also argued for a long time because of the protracted war and the serious consumption of food and grass.
During the more than ten years of the Yanbei War, many civil servants and generals who were close to the Helian family tried to find fault in the rear, and some proposed unrealistic ideas such as impeachment and punishment of Marshal Wuhou.
But everyone knows that only the Helian family can say these things. If anyone else was so critical, they would have been labeled as traitors and beaten to death.
The Helian family has countless merits and virtues. You can say that he has a very bad relationship with the Li family and everyone knows it, but you can't say that their family is a traitor.
After all, the Helian family had a lot of blood flowing outside the border fortress, and it was more than enough to dye a few cities red.
"This Lord Boya is too impatient. This time he punished Marquis Wu and made great achievements. Even if he gets into trouble at this juncture, it is impossible to punish him, let alone such a trivial matter..."
Many ministers secretly thought.
At this time, Emperor Yu on the dragon throne raised his hand to calm the argument and said with a smile:
"What Liu Aiqing said is right. It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. This time I punished Marquis Wu and made great achievements in the battle. He protected the border and abandoned his family. His loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon. Let's talk about the matter of Cangyu City."
Seeing Emperor Yu's decision, Helian Boya glanced at the civil servant, snorted coldly, and said nothing more. He just turned his head and looked at the dragon pillars of the main hall to express his dissatisfaction, as if to say that you can just talk, I will not participate. .
Everyone also knew about this kind of thing. It would be fine if the Helian family didn't participate. If they did, they would definitely find fault. They didn't pay much attention to him and started talking about it.
"Cangyu City was almost destroyed. Yue Shuhong pleaded guilty and was imprisoned in the sky prison. The crime was written clearly. Thanks to the young master of the Li family, Cangyu City was protected. He is really a hero at a young age. !”
"According to the number of demons slain, one should be awarded the title of first-class viscount."
"You have done a good job in protecting the city. There are many people in the city. I think we need another reward..."
Many ministers began to discuss it.
…
…
Jingzhou, in a jungle outside Feijiang City.
Trees that were tens of meters thick were squeezed and collapsed rapidly, and were spread to both sides like weeds. A tiger with dazzling eyes more than ten meters long jumped rapidly, with four huge eyes on each side of its body and abdomen, glowing with ferocious monsters. Strange red light.
But at this moment, several of the eyes were stabbed, their eyes were closed and bleeding continued.
Suddenly, the tiger looked back.
With a bang, golden light flew from the sky, and a figure with a Buddha wheel behind it, emitting bright golden light all over its body, rushed into the forest.
This Buddha-like soul has the face of a young man. His face is calm and there is no murderous intent, but his attacks are extremely fierce.
"roar!!"
The tiger roared angrily and roared: "Li family, I will never let you go even if I die!!"
"Then go die!"
The young man's soul clapped his hands and fell, and the violent divine power suppressed the tiger.
A demonic shadow also appeared behind the tiger, but before it could reach a few feet, it was suppressed by the palm of the Buddha's golden shadow.
"Children, avenge me, the Qingzhou Li family who killed me——"
The roaring roar spread through the mountains and forests.
But it soon came to an abrupt stop. The demon soul collapsed. The giant tiger's body could not stop. It rolled forward and broke more than a dozen big trees before it stopped. Half of its eyes were closed and gone. sound.
The amber pupils reflected the figure of a young man chasing up from the forest behind, until the young man stopped approaching, the sand under his feet splashed on the tiger's eyes.
The young man looked at it and then stepped on it several times, cracking its tiger head before stopping.
"Beheading this big monster should be a first-class achievement..."
The young man said to himself.
He is Li Qianfeng who came down from the mountain to join the world.
He bent down and cut off the tiger's head, and was about to leave when suddenly a purple sparrow, as small as a palm, flew from the sky with a slight sound like a sharp arrow.
The young man was slightly startled, dropped the huge tiger head, and reached out to catch the purple bird.
This is a little demon bird raised by his mother. It is very good at flying. It may not even have the combat power of the Zhoutian Realm, but even some warriors of the Immortal Ascension Realm may not be able to catch up with it.
The level of cultivation of the demon race is slow, but they have all kinds of magical powers and abilities of the demon race, just like the human race can practice quickly.
The purple bird opened its mouth and spat out a creed that looked like oily paper.
Li Qianfeng rubbed it away and took a look, his slightly puzzled and frowning expression suddenly changed.
Fifteen miles realm?
Li Hao? Who is that?
Uncle Seven’s son?
Li Qianfeng's eyes showed shock. The key was that the creed said that the other party was only... fourteen years old!
Four years younger than me?
He only entered the fifteen-mile realm when he was seventeen years old, but the other party was three years ahead of schedule!
Although these three years are nothing in front of the Heavenly Realm, it can be seen that there is a huge gap in their qualifications and talents.
Moreover, if Li Qianfeng remembers correctly, this kind of progress is even faster than Uncle Jiu!
Creed was instantly crushed into powder by two fingers.
Li Qianfeng's face was filled with clouds. Originally, his target was just Li Wushuang, but since the other party was in the Immortal Ascension Realm, he didn't feel much pressure.
On the contrary, he also reserved part of his mind to guard against the aunt's son and daughter, the pair of cousins.
There is also Sanniang's only daughter, who joined the army at the age of fifteen and is now the cousin of the female general.
But they are older, and although they have meritorious deeds, True Dragon values their qualifications more. Among those of the same age, he should be the first to enter the Fifteen Mile Realm at the age of seventeen!
But now... Li Hao suddenly appeared.
A small character that he never noticed.
"It's impossible to practice so fast on your own. Uncle Jiu didn't enter the Fifteen Mile Realm until he was fifteen years old. Could it be that the older generation took action..." Li Qianfeng frowned.
He recalled that the other party did not seem to be a famous teacher, but stayed at his family's mansion.
This gives you the opportunity to get in touch with the older generation of the Li family.
However, isn’t it true that the older generation of the Li family cannot influence the younger generation before the real dragon is confirmed? This would be biased!
"It seems that when we wait for the ancestral hall, we have to ask the ancestors to come forward for verification. In addition, do we need to inform the master about this matter?"
Li Qianfeng glanced into the distance, the light in his gloomy eyes flashed for a moment, and was finally covered by a touch of arrogance:
"never mind."
He picked up the tiger's head and quickly returned to Feijiang City.
"Since I have such a great achievement, I will go back in advance to take a look."
…
…
Qingzhou, in the Divine General's Mansion.
After the family dinner, Shanhe Courtyard also returned to tranquility from the hustle and bustle, but it was still much more lively than before. From time to time, concubines from various courtyards came to give gifts, brought their children, and greeted Li Hao, hoping to get acquainted with the future true dragon of the Li family.
Among these illegitimate children, some were well-behaved and sensible, some were reserved and nervous, and some had learned to flatter.
One after another, they all got to know Li Hao, which also made Li Hao see the difficulties of these illegitimate children.
At least he should feel embarrassed when he was forced by his parents to flatter another teenager, but some children have already mastered it.
This kind of thing seems to have nothing to do with maturity and experience. Some children are more eloquent and eloquent than adults. It is purely a difference in character and mind.
And Li Hao's temperament is a bit idle, and he just gets by.
It was early in the morning again.
Li Hao was still sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He opened his eyes, and with a quick glance, he saw that it was his father's favorite general Yu Xuan outside the door.
He turned over and said, "Are you asking me to practice martial arts again?"
Yu Xuan thought of what happened that day, and smiled bitterly, saying, "Young Master, the Marshal asked you to wash up, and follow him to pay respect to the ancestors, and ask the ancestors to decide on the matter of the real dragon."
Li Hao raised his eyebrows, thought about it, turned over and sat up, and called Qing Zhi to change clothes quickly.
Soon, after washing up, Li Hao pushed open the door, glanced at the young man, and said lightly:
"Let's go."
Yu Xuan knew that Li Hao was angry with him because of the painting that day, but he didn't care, and stretched out his hand and said, "Young Master, please."
Turned all the way through the corridor and came to the main hall of the main courtyard.
Li Hao saw his father who had already taken off his helmet and armor and changed into white clothes, but his temperament was not as elegant as that of his fifth uncle. It seemed that he had been fighting for many years, and his face was naturally solemn and majestic.
