Chapter 94 Dazzling Brilliance [Fourth Update]
"free?"
"For example, you can't ask me to practice martial arts anymore, and you can't interfere with me doing other things," said Li Hao.
Li Tiangang was speechless.
Only then did he think of Li Hao's daily habits of not doing his job properly and wasting this top talent.
This was absolutely not something he could tolerate.
But... you just promised Li Hao, but now you want to go back on your word? He struggled for a moment, and secretly said that with Hao'er's aptitude, even if he didn't practice for the time being and continued to live his previous life, it wouldn't have much impact.
When he becomes a true dragon in the future, inherits the family business, feels the heavy burden on his shoulders, and feels that countless soldiers are looking forward to him and pinning their lives and hopes on him, perhaps he will devote all his heart to practicing.
Thinking of this, Li Tiangang nodded to Li Hao and said with a smile: "Okay, I promise you!"
"real?"
"real!"
Li Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that the heavy stone in his heart had finally settled.
Judging from the severity of this father, he is probably the most old-fashioned in the Li family, much stricter than any of the aunt and her friends. It is really hard to explain without revealing his true colors.
He didn't deliberately show his strength at the beginning, because he was afraid that the aunt and the others would do this. The more they felt that they were talented, the more they forced themselves to practice.
It's like a person who knows how to make money and can make millions in minutes, but you just see him lying there playing games.
How could this be?! It was just that my situation was special. Although I could earn millions in a matter of minutes, it was really just from playing games. I couldn’t say it, and even if I did, no one would understand.
"Then I'll go play chess with Master Wu later."
Li Hao said.
I have been in Tan Palace all this time, and also went out to Cangyu City for training.
I haven't seen you for a long time. I guess the old man must be very lonely.
Li Tiangang's eyelids twitched, and he was speechless. He just said, "You can go, but you must not disturb the heroic spirits of our ancestors."
"Don't worry, I have experience."
Li Hao's words almost choked Li Tiangang.
Seeing that Li Hao was about to leave, Li Tiangang immediately said:
"Wait, I haven't finished telling you what happened just now. The real dragon will be decided in two months, so you have to prepare well during this time. I asked your uncle Yuxuan to find out, and your biggest competitor should be the child of your second sister-in-law."
When Liu Yuerong was mentioned, a cold light flashed in Li Hao's eyes.
He looked at his father in front of him, thought of the poison pill, and wanted to say something, but held back.
If he told his father now, it would definitely alert the enemy, and he was not sure of his father's methods.
In addition to being a marquis and a general, Li Tiangang was also the Minister of Justice, in charge of Dayu's criminal law department. Therefore, his personal guard camp was also called the Law Camp, and he himself was named "Marquis of Criminal Law"! But that woman had the title of a consort, and she was a first-class lady of the state. If the Ministry of Justice wanted to deal with her, it could only temporarily detain her, and it needed to report to the court and make many declarations.
If we arrest him, his son will certainly be alarmed. Then he will be so scared that he won't dare to come back to participate in the fight for the real dragon, and will just retreat to the Wuliang Mountain. It will be really difficult to deal with him.
And this possibility is very high.
In Li Hao's opinion, the news about his Fifteen Mile Realm has been exposed, so there should be no suspense about his talent. The opponent's chance of competing for the Real Dragon is not great, so it is better to take a step back and preserve himself.
But this was not the result he wanted.
Once the other party retreats to Wuliang Mountain, they will be helpless against him.
After all, the other party was a disciple of the Buddha and was his direct disciple! Over the years, Li Hao has also done a lot of detailed investigations on Wuliang Mountain.
There were three top forces in the Dayu Dynasty.
The first is Qiandao Palace, the second is Wuliang Mountain, and the third is Hanlin Hall.
The first force is undisputed because Dayu’s strongest man, the real person, is in charge.
The second Wuliang Mountain is home to the Wuliang Buddha, who is second only to the True Man.
The third one is the Hanlin Hall. Although it is filled with literati, great tutors and scholars but has no military force, behind it is the imperial court and the Emperor Yu, who has mysterious military power and all-powerful authority over the world.
The literati in this world don't have the power of words to attack with articles. They are just simple written regulations, but these documents are the rules! Even a first-class sect would not dare to fart if a document was used to confiscate a family's property.
Rebellion?
The army will be on the march soon. Not only will your house be confiscated, but even the yolks of the eggs in your house will be shaken to pieces.
Therefore, although the Hanlin Hall had no military force, no one dared to provoke it. The power of the law was equal to the military force, and the use of martial arts to defend literature allowed Dayu to live in peace for thousands of years.
Otherwise, warriors would slaughter civil officials at will and disregard the system with force. If this country was ruled by a group of warriors, it would surely be a disaster. The people would have been living in misery and destruction would have been imminent.
Below these three top forces are the five great divine generals’ palaces, which are semi-top ones.
Next are the various departments of the imperial court, such as the Demon-Suppression Department, the Dead River Department, and so on.
They were all established by the imperial court. Not to mention their own military strength, their status was so high that no one dared to offend them at will, otherwise their army would sweep through and no one would be able to stop them.
After these, there are Jianlu, Qianjishan and other first-rate forces in the martial arts world.
If the Buddha of Wuliang Mountain wanted to protect his own disciples, even with the status of the Divine General's Mansion, it would be difficult to shake it.
Besides, if you really think about it, Liu Yuerong's child was not involved and is innocent.
But in Li Hao's eyes, the other party was indebted to his mother and had enjoyed the benefits brought by the other party, so naturally he should repay the favor.
To put it bluntly, Liu Yuerong had no grudge against him when she poisoned him. Her main purpose was to pave the way for her own child.
Li Hao's goal is not only to fight for the seat of True Dragon, but also to let Liu Yuerong see with her own eyes that her child has been brought to the bottom of the valley by him and his future has been ruined!
The poison pill that was swallowed thirteen years ago.
Thirteen years later, it will truly explode with its fierce and cruel toxicity! At this time, Li Tiangang continued to speak:
"Except for the second sister-in-law's child, the children of the eldest and third sister-in-law also have a chance to compete, but the third sister-in-law's child is a girl, and I heard that she met a friend in the army and got married, so the daughter who married out will automatically withdraw from the True Dragon seat."
"As for the two children of my eldest sister-in-law, they are already over 30 years old and have made great achievements in their careers. They are both generals in the army. If they want to compete, they are quite competitive. However, their talent is still inferior to yours and my second sister-in-law's children."
"Besides, my sister-in-law said in her early years that she would not let her children participate in the fight for the real dragon. I still trust her in this regard."
Li Hao nodded. He also understood these things.
"Qian Feng's talent is not as good as yours, but he is a disciple of the Buddha, and has cultivated his body and mind beside the Buddha, so his character is naturally good. I heard that he is now at the Fifteen Mile Realm, which he reached at the age of seventeen. If you are not counted, his talent is quite good."
Li Tiangang said.
He himself also reached the fifteen-mile realm at about this time, became a grandmaster at nineteen, and entered the three realms of immortality at twenty-three.
This is already considered quite a talent, far ahead of the top talents.
Of course, the premise is not to compare with that guy named Ninth Brother.
"If the other party has the Buddha's connections, they will not be inferior. Another plus point is fame."
Li Tiangang said to Li Hao: "I have already learned that the other party has gone down the mountain, but has not returned. I guess he went to accumulate fame. This is a plus point."
"You have been in the palace for many years and have no achievements to show for yourself, so your strength will be slightly weakened, but it is okay. In the next two months, I plan to arrange for you to go to the border and behead the big monster, which can also be considered as an achievement."
Hearing about fame, Li Hao smiled slightly.
Li Fu next to him couldn't help laughing.
Li Tiangang noticed the strange expressions of the two and frowned, "What's wrong?"
Li Hao didn't say anything, but Li Fu said respectfully: "My Lord, the young master's reputation should be quite high."
"Um?"
Li Tiangang and Yu Xuan both looked at him with confusion on their faces.
Li Fu smiled and said, "My Lord, do you still remember how I learned about the young master's realm? Cangyu City was attacked by a demon, and it was the young master who saved the entire city alone!"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Hearing his words, Li Tiangang and Yu Xuan were stunned and a little surprised.
They looked at Li Hao. Saving the entire city? This was a huge achievement!
For them who have been fighting for many years, the reckoning of merits is all too familiar.
"Hao'er, you actually..."
Li Tiangang looked at Li Hao in great amazement, his eyes revealing excitement and joy, and his love for this son increased greatly.
I thought Li Hao was a casual person who was just having fun, but who would have thought that he would quietly accomplish such a career! Yu Xuan also looked at Li Hao with admiration, with appreciation in his eyes. Saving people from dire straits is already a great achievement! "The reward for the young master's meritorious service should be spread to Qingzhou soon." Li Fu said with a smile, looking forward to this matter.
“Okay, okay!”
Li Tiangang said "good" three times in succession and laughed heartily.
"In this way, the position of the True Dragon is a sure thing!"
Li Tiangang was completely relieved.
He has top-notch talent and has made great achievements. Even though Li Hao's character is a little casual and not top-notch, the fact that he has made such great achievements shows that he is not bad in other aspects, and that is enough.
Such a gap is difficult to make up.
Even if the second sister-in-law's child wanted to achieve something great, it would be difficult for him to have such an opportunity in just two months.
You can't just make achievements by doing it. Even if you go to the border battlefield to make achievements, the Li family's borders, except for Yanbei, have been basically pacified and there is no trouble for the time being.
Going to other borders, the relationship becomes complicated.
Besides, it is not so easy to make meritorious deeds on the border. In the tide of hundreds of thousands or even millions of monsters, what does a 15-li territory count for? The leader who can command hundreds of thousands of monsters is probably at the level of a master of heaven and man.
Seeing him say that, Li Hao said, "If that's the case, then I don't have anything to do with it anymore, right?"
Li Tiangang had just finished laughing, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt helpless. This child had not been disciplined for many years and was really too idle.
"If you don't practice, what do you want to do?" Li Tiangang asked.
"Just do whatever you think of, such as painting, playing the piano, and writing poetry," said Li Hao.
The corner of Li Tiangang's mouth twitched. He didn't care about any of these things.
If Li Hao had said this before, he would have most likely denied everything, but thinking of the promise he had just made to Li Hao, he could only hold it in and sighed, "Okay, whatever you want, I'll do what I promised you."
"good."
Li Hao was relieved to hear him say this. The other party did not like him doing this, but he did not ask for his understanding. It was enough for him to allow it.
He immediately said goodbye to him and went to play chess with Master Wu.
Li Tiangang did not stop him and let Li Hao go.
After Li Hao left, Li Tiangang sighed to Xuan Yu: "I wonder when this child will truly grow up."
Li Fu smiled and said, "My Lord, in fact, the young master is much smarter and more mature than other children of the same age. He went to see his fifth uncle, perhaps not to play with himself, but to accompany him."
Li Tiangang was stunned, thinking of the lonely old man in the ancestral hall and the lonely chessboard in front of him.
His eyes changed and he fell silent.
A few days later.
Li Hao’s reward came as expected.
In recognition of Li Hao's meritorious service in defending the city and protecting millions of people in the city, he was granted the title of third-class earl! He was given a city as his fiefdom! In addition, he was given ten boxes of jewels and gold.
A set of magical weapons and armor from the Fifteen Li Realm.
Compared with weapons, armor and titles, these properties were just extras.
Just like when Li Junye died, he was rewarded with the Yulong Order and ten buckets of gold. The gold was just a bonus and not worth mentioning.
The real reward is the Yulong Order, which is a golden medal of immunity from death!
Three Yulong Orders saved him from death three times, which shows how great his achievements were!
After the conferring of titles was completed, Li Hao took the imperial edict and award from the "top student" from the palace and bowed to express his gratitude.
The news spread throughout the city in an instant, and also spread to Qingzhou outside the city.
The young master of the Li family, at the age of fourteen, was granted the title of Earl! He also had his own fiefdom! In addition, Li Hao's exploits in defending the city were also spread throughout the city and constantly publicized, which amazed the people and made them exclaim that he was indeed a son of the Li family! Some people still vaguely remembered the rumors that came out about ten years ago, saying that the young master of the Li family was a martial arts waste. Now it seems that it was obviously a misunderstanding and a rumor.
Li Hao's name now resounded throughout Qingzhou and spread to even farther places!
Inside the palace.
The ladies from various courtyards who learned the news were all stunned.
He Jianlan was a little stunned. Ever since Li Tiangang came back, news about Li Hao had been coming out one after another, almost making her numb with shock.
Is this still the child she loves so much?
It was so dazzling that she could hardly look directly at it.
"That child...he..."
In Piaoxue Courtyard, Gao Qingqing was a little bit unbelievable when she heard the news. Thinking of her advice to her own child many years ago, which made the child stay away from Li Hao, she couldn't help but feel secretly regretful.
Li Xuanli, who was standing next to him, was delighted when he heard the news. He exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of the Seventh Brother's child, his demeanor is no worse than the Ninth Brother's back then. No, when the Ninth Brother was fourteen, he wasn't as dazzling as him!"
"Amazing! The seventh child is really good at giving birth!"
