Chapter 74 Xia Qingshuang
While the city defense forces were clearing out the demon corpses outside the city, Song Yueyao also reported the situation in the Black Wind Mountains to Yue Shuhong.
Yue Shuhong immediately sent spies to check and verify.
When the spy saw the hill full of demon corpses, he was completely terrified.
The number of demon corpses here is actually no less than those piled up outside the city.
Especially the high platform of demon corpses stacked in a square shape, which was full of big demons. A rough count showed that there were more than twenty of them.
The spies also saw the giant bear monster that had long been famous outside the city, but at this moment, it had turned into a slightly rotten, foul-smelling corpse, piled under the meat table.
The spy's legs were trembling as he hurried back to the city and reported all the news to Yue Shuhong.
After listening to this, Yue Shuhong stood there for a long time and then let out a long sigh.
He had been in charge of Cangyu City for decades, so he naturally knew that all the big monsters lurking around Cangyu City should have been killed by Li Hao! If the Tan Palace Academy had not assigned the task this time, and Li Hao had happened to receive it... Yue Shuhong simply couldn't imagine what kind of hell on earth Cangyu City would have turned into at this moment.
He was both excited and sighing. A huge stone that had been weighing on his heart for decades finally fell at this moment.
Two days later.
The demon corpses outside Cangyu City have been basically cleared out, and the academy mission of Li Hao and others has been declared completed.
They came in a hurry, but the return journey was quite leisurely and relaxed. Yue Shuhong provided a carriage for them.
He personally escorted everyone to the city gate to say goodbye.
"Sir, I have already reported the matter of Cangyu City to the state government."
"Also, once everything here is settled and handled, I will personally go to the imperial capital and request the death penalty."
Outside the carriage, Yue Shuhong bowed solemnly.
Li Hao took one look at him and immediately understood that he was going to take all the blame on his own.
"You know, if all the blame for this is put on you, your entire clan will be implicated," said Li Hao.
Yue Shuhong's face was calm, and he said calmly: "I know, so I have already severed my relationship with the Nine Clans, twelve years ago. According to Dayu's law, if the relationship is severed for more than ten years, it will be regarded as no contact, no connection, and no guilt!"
Li Hao stared at him and said, "It seems that you are also a good chess player."
"You are too polite, sir."
Li Hao said nothing more, withdrew his hand and lowered the car curtain:
"It's a pity that you won't be able to taste the wine brewed by Tiger Robe Head."
Yue Shuhong's body trembled slightly. He was silent for a moment, then he raised his head and smiled: "If you don't mind, if you pass by Cangyu City in the future, pour a cup of wine on this road, and it will be considered as a drink with me."
The breeze blew the curtains, causing them to sway slightly.
A word came out from inside:
"Can."
The smile on Yue Shuhong's face became even more bright.
The vehicle moved slowly, and under the whip of the coachman, it moved forward along the official road stretched by green cypresses in the morning sun.
The city and the people at the city gate gradually became smaller.
But one could vaguely see the man waving his arm towards the carriage, as if saying goodbye, and then he bowed deeply and deeply.
Until we can no longer see each other from a distance.
…
…
There were only Li Hao, Ren Qianqian, Li Yuanzhao and others in the carriage.
The coachman was a soldier from Cangyu City. After sending Li Hao and others to Qingzhou, he had to drive the carriage back to Cangyu City himself.
Wei Feng hurriedly said goodbye to a few people yesterday. With Li Hao around, he no longer had to protect his young lady in secret.
Compared with the young lady's safety, he is more worried that the young lady will really agree to be Li Hao's follower.
Although Li Hao has a prominent status, Ren Qianqian is the daughter of a master after all. As a follower, her background will be engraved on her for the rest of her life.
He had to go back quickly to ask for reinforcements. Only the master could persuade the young lady.
As for Li Fu, his injuries had not yet healed, so he stayed in Cangyu City to recuperate.
At this time, less than half a day after leaving Cangyu City, two fast horses suddenly came in front of Li Hao and others on the official road.
The man on the fast horse seemed to recognize the flag of Cangyu City on the carriage. After passing the carriage for dozens of meters, he suddenly pulled the reins, turned around and went back to the front of the carriage to stop the few people.
"stop!"
On the fast horses were a man and a woman. The man was in his twenties, wearing purple armor, a sword at his waist, and a flying feather hat on his head, looking very heroic.
The woman was wearing a soft purple armor, with a bow on her back and a sword at her waist. She had no helmet, only her long black hair fluttering behind her along with the armor cloak.
"Are you a soldier from Cangyu City?"
After forcing the carriage to stop, the young man immediately grasped the whip and pointed it at the driver with a little anger.
The driver was startled. After recognizing the two men's armor, he was so scared that he hurriedly stood up and knelt down, "I am Yue Ming, the sergeant of the Cangyu City Defense Department. I am honored to meet you two adults."
"Why are you here? Who is in the carriage?"
The young man shouted angrily: "I heard that there are monsters attacking Cangyu City. Are you deserters who abandoned the city?!"
When he said this, murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

The driver Yue Ming said hurriedly: "You two masters have misunderstood. The evil spirit disaster in the city has been quelled. I am following the instructions of the city guard to send these Tan Palace students back to Qingzhou."
"A student from Tan Palace?"
When the two heard this, their eyes moved slightly. The young man's expression relaxed slightly and he said, "Call them out and let me see them."
They knew that the Tan Palace Academy in Qingzhou was famous all over the world, but there was no need for them to study in Tan Palace.
Li Hao and others in the carriage also heard the noise outside. Yu Wei, who was sitting at the door of the carriage, immediately lifted the curtain and looked outside, wondering who this guy was who was so blind? It was okay to stop him, but there were two people with the surname Li, Li Hao and Li Yuanzhao, in the carriage.
"It's the Xia family's military armor."
Li Yuanzhao immediately recognized the two men through the car curtain.
As they were both from the Divine General's Mansion, although Li Yuanzhao had rarely traveled far, he had learned some common sense about these top aristocrats.
The two men on the fast horses saw the young faces of Li Hao and others, as well as the Tan Palace uniforms they were wearing, and immediately knew that the coachman was not lying.
"Let me ask you, what did you mean when you said the demon disaster has been resolved?" The heroic woman looked at the driver coldly.
The driver said nervously, "My Lord, there was a demon rebellion, but fortunately the young master of the Li family took action and put it down."
"Young Master Li?"
The young man frowned and asked, "Which young master of the Li family?"
"It's the Li family of the Qingzhou Divine General's Mansion." The driver said respectfully.
"Um?"
Xia Yong and Xia Qingshuang looked at each other. They were the ones? Wait, Young Master? To be addressed as such, he must be from the third generation of the Li family.
After all, the second generation of the Li family are already middle-aged, and there are only three left, all of whom are famous throughout the world.
However, I heard that this time, there was a great demon in the Fifteen Mile Realm in charge, with tens of thousands of demons. With such a powerful force, it would take at least two geniuses from the Fifteen Mile Realm from their Xia family to suppress it.
But among the three generations of the Li family, no famous figures have been heard of.
More than ten years ago, there were a few people who caused a small stir in this world.
One of them became a disciple of the Buddha of Wuliang Mountain at the age of six, and the other one studied under the Taoist of Qianji Mountain. Both of them were direct disciples.
I heard that there was another person who was born with great fortune and was given a name by Emperor Yu himself. People therefore concluded that he was extremely talented, but later there was no news about him. There was also news that he was a waste of his cultivation, but it is unknown whether this is true or not.
"Could it be that the one from Wuliang Mountain has entered the world?"
The two looked at each other. The one who could be called Young Master obviously couldn't be the girl from the Li family who made it onto the Qianbang list a year ago.
"The third generation of the Li family from Wuliang Mountain should be eighteen years old this year. Eighteen years old, at the Fifteen Li Realm..." Xia Yong narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of fighting spirit.
Beside her, Xia Qingshuang looked calm and said, "If that's the case, we can rest assured."
She looked at the driver and said, "Let me ask you, how many casualties are there in the city?"
"Reporting to the Lord, only about 200 soldiers defending the city were injured, and more than ten died."
The driver Yue Ming was extremely respectful.
