Chapter 132: Li Tiangang

Li Hao immediately restrained the strength in his body, moved his hands and feet lightly, and with the insight of Stage 6 Body Dao and the minute observation of the Grandmaster Realm, he easily weighed his current physical strength.

About 400,000 jin.

Initially, it was 100,000 jin. Later, as his Body Dao improved, the Primordial Technique was completed to the fourth chapter "Primordial", plus the deduction and improvement of many other techniques, it increased to over 300,000 jin.

Now, this perfected demon technique directly increased his strength by 100,000 jin.

Don't look at the strength improvement as small—relative to the tens of millions of jin of True Qi, it was not worth mentioning—but apart from demons, including human experts in the Four Standing Realms, their pure physical strength might not even be 100,000 jin!

The stronger the physical strength, the stronger the impact of the Qi it could bear.

It was the same Qi reversal; others might lose half their lives, but Li Hao would at most spit out a mouthful of stagnant blood and be able to recover.

With the Five Viscera Primordial Technique completed, besides the increase in physical strength, Li Hao felt that his internal organs and other organs were like gold and iron, bringing him powerful support whether he was walking, sitting, or standing.

Li Hao didn't stop, then practiced the other "Bright Ming Ming Yu Zhen Mo Technique".

This technique focused on practicing outside the body. As he practiced, the energy between heaven and earth gathered again, rapidly surging into his body.

These energies were like black fiends, covering the clear night sky, stars, and moon.

This technique mainly used fiendish Qi to condense, and it happened that this place was a battlefield, the place where fiendish Qi was most concentrated.

Countless black fiendish Qi surrounded Li Hao. Li Hao, shrouded in fiendish Qi, was like a True Demon. When his eyes opened and closed, scarlet light seemed to burst forth.

"That technique just now... was practiced to completion like that?"

In the shadows, Li He stared blankly at this scene. Li Hao changed to another technique, and the momentum of his practice was even more terrifying than the one just now.

That technique just now, under Li Hao's several rehearsals, went from unfamiliar to proficient, and then to perfect and flawless, taking only seven or eight times.

This... was this the secret of this young master?

A few times to perfection?

Not only Li He, but Li Hongzhuang in the distance was also frightened. She had seen monsters, but she had never seen such a monster.

Even when Ninth Brother was young and practicing, it took him a few days.

At that time, for a technique book, others might not have figured it out in a whole night, but by the next day, Ninth Brother had already entered the door, making them brothers and sisters admire him very much.

But the Li Hao in front of her—this wasn't entering the door in a night; it was clearly perfection in a night!

It wasn't even a full night!

As the fiendish Qi gathered, surging into his body continuously and being condensed, beating on all parts of his body, Li Hao's physique was improving rapidly. His skin color became as white as jade, like ceramic glaze, containing fluid-like strength inside.

While absorbing the fiendish Qi, Li Hao also practiced again.

The first time, the second time...

With his performance, the fiendish Qi was absorbed like a storm.

In the blink of an eye, the eighth time ended.

The Bright Ming Ming Yu Zhen Mo Technique had already been practiced to the Perfected Realm.

The surrounding fiendish Qi all settled down, the stars and moon revealed, shining on the young man's body.

Li Hao let out a light breath, looked down at himself. His nails were white, but with a slight force, faint dark fiendish Qi seemed to emerge between his nails.

This was originally a demon technique, more suitable for the baby of a demon physique.

But it was changed by him through the Body Dao into a body-tempering technique suitable for humans to practice.

However, the trace of demonic evil nature in the technique could not be erased; it was its core.

Li Hao closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again. Faint black Qi flashed between his pupils, and his vision seemed to have become different, sharper and brighter.

He saw a faint, blurry outline in the shadows on the left, which was Li He hiding there.

He didn't pay attention to him. To this day, he didn't need to deliberately hide or disguise anything; after all, this was no longer the Li Mansion.

After finishing his practice, Li Hao weighed his body strength.

His pure physical strength increased to about 550,000 jin.

The improvement brought by this demon technique was more obvious than the Five Viscera Primordial Technique.

But, this actually still hadn't reached the physical limit of the Tongli Realm.

Could it be that it needed a million jin of strength... Li Hao's gaze flickered. In the ordinary Tongli Realm stage, plus divine blood, it would at most be over ten thousand jin. This was over a hundred times...

He didn't know how exaggerated the limits of other realms would be.

No wonder even in the Listening Rain Tower, there was no record of the limits of each realm. If he didn't have the panel, such limits would be something ordinary people couldn't even hope for.

Looking at the stars and moon, Li Hao pondered for a moment, didn't move again, and entered light sleep to rest.

Li Hongzhuang glanced at the young man, suppressed the urge to go over and ask. Li Hao had slaughtered Chi Hu Jun tonight, and there would probably be a fierce battle tomorrow. She needed to adjust her state as soon as possible.

Without the cover of city walls, when the dawn shone from outside the pass, it was like a warm palm, gently stroking the faces of the two.

Li Hao woke up from light sleep. With the chess manual trait of "Biding Time and Hiding Light", he could relieve fatigue with just one or two hours of light sleep.

It was just that sleeping, besides relieving fatigue, was also very comfortable.

Unfortunately, the conditions outside the pass didn't allow him to sleep in.

Li Hao rummaged through the camp and found some paper, and immediately began writing again.

Li Hongzhuang also woke up. The early winter morning was slightly frosty, making her breath white when she spoke:

"Writing techniques again?"

"Yes."

"There might be a fierce battle today."

"We'll talk when they come."

Li Hao looked casual, as if he didn't care much.

Li Hongzhuang glanced at the technique Li Hao was writing and said: "Even if you write it well, no one can send it back for you."

"Perhaps I can ask this old gentleman to help."

Li Hao looked at Li He hiding in the shadows.

Li He didn't expect Li Hao to be able to detect his position. His expression changed slightly. Since things had reached this point, he didn't need to continue hiding in the shadows, and walked generously in front of the two, saying:

"I am under the order of your father to come here to protect you. Without your father's hand-written order, I will not leave."

"Old gentleman, you had better change your habit of speaking. Don't say 'your father' every time."

Li Hao frowned, staring at the other party.

Li He was slightly stunned, only feeling a chill coming.

He felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart. Although he was temporarily transferred here and had heard about the father-son battle in Qingzhou City, in his view, so what if it was a great battle? This pair of father and son were father and son after all; how could they really cut off ties?

"Young Master, you are somewhat impolite." Li He said solemnly, his face full of sternness.

"To you, or referring to whom?"

Li Hao's eyes narrowed, black Qi floating, flashing with dangerous light.

Li He sensed it, but his upright personality made him say frankly: "Naturally, it is your father. As for how you treat the old man, I don't mind..."

Just as he said this, the young man on the ground suddenly erupted.

In the whistling sound, a fist smashed out fiercely.

Li He was slightly stunned, his gaze suddenly becoming stern, and he quickly blocked with a palm.

*Boom! * Two giant forces vibrated, but Li He's body flew backward, not stopping until he retreated dozens of meters away. His aged face was already shocked.

Having watched Li Hao slaughter two Three Imperishable Great Demons earlier, he was a bystander, and the feeling hadn't been as intense as it was at this moment.

Li Hao's fist strength actually made it difficult for him to resist and withstand.

"Considering you are an elder, I can't be bothered to argue with you, but if you can't learn how to speak again, I will really make you shut up!"

Li Hao stood in place, glancing at him coldly, and didn't pursue.

Li He's expression was ugly, wanting to speak but stopping. But seeing the genuine coldness in the young man's eyes, he still held back.

If Li Hao had used his full strength like yesterday, he might not have been able to block it. After all, he couldn't really fight the other party with full strength; his duty was to protect the other party.

"Hao'er!"

Li Hongzhuang saw Li Hao really take action and couldn't help but frown and call out.

Li Hao glanced at her and said the same: "Senior Hongzhuang, I hope that besides working hard to slay demons, my mood can be pleasant. I hope you also take care of yourself."

Hearing Li Hao's such distant words, her expression also changed slightly, staring at Li Hao.

She didn't know what had happened between this pair of father and son, why, when mentioning Seventh Brother, this child had such great repulsion even toward her.

She sighed inwardly and didn't speak anymore.

Li Hao also returned to his original seat and sat down, as if nothing had happened, continuing to write the secret manual.

Li He stood with his hands behind his back, but the palm that had caught Li Hao's punch earlier was trembling slightly.

Fortunately, the recovery ability of the Three Imperishable was extremely strong, and broken limbs could regenerate. Soon, the meridians of his arm were smooth again.

Li He looked deeply at the young man, feeling sorry for him, thinking in his heart whether the letter sent to Qingzhou City had been received by the General.

Qingzhou City, Divine General Mansion.

A green sparrow flew in from outside the window and landed on the inkstone by the desk.

Its palm-sized body suddenly swelled to the size of a head, its bird beak spat slightly, squeezing out a letter from inside.

By the desk, the middle-aged man wearing brown clothes quickly picked up the letter and spread it out to read carefully.

After reading it, the urgency on his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he crushed the letter.

"Lord Marquis, is it a letter from the Young Master?"

Outside the room, Yu Xuan saw the green sparrow and walked in, a look of concern revealing in his eyes.

That was, after all, the successor of the main family. That heaven-gifted talent, if it grew up, would be enough to suppress the demons of the world.

"Hmph!"

Hearing Yu Xuan's concerned voice, Li Tiangang snorted coldly, anger in his eyes:

"It's Li He's reply. I was wondering how he got such a hard backbone; it turns out someone is supporting him from behind. Second Uncle and Fifth Uncle, they really are harming people without end. Do they have to harm Hao'er until he's useless before they'll stop!"

Yu Xuan was slightly stunned, couldn't help but say: "Lord Marquis, why do you say that?"

Li Tiangang was in no mood to say more.

The matter in the letter made the anger he had calmed down over the past few days surge up again.

He had sent Li He to secretly protect Li Hao along the way, but Li He had detected that another expert was secretly following Li Hao, and speculated that it might be a top-tier expert of the Four Standing Realms.

That was the Four Standing Realms! Such a person, there weren't many in the entire Da Yu; how could they condescend to protect a child?

Without a doubt, it could only be that Second Uncle and Fifth Uncle had used their connections to invite their old friends to come forward.

This was equivalent to wasting a precious favor for nothing, and letting a Four Standing Realm expert accompany a child was also a huge waste.

If they had this leisure time, they could have slaughtered quite a few demons!

Most importantly, this was contrary to his wishes.

He let Li Hao go to Tianmen Pass, go to the border, just to crush his stubborn bones, let him see the great terror between life and death, let him know that the outside world was not like the warm bed of the Divine General Mansion, so comfortable and warm.

Now it was good, with a Four Standing Realm expert secretly shielding him, this was seeing a fart!

In this way, could it be that he really had to wait for three years later, for that brat to come back and cut off ties with him?!

With that stinking brat's stubborn temper, he would probably still hold a grudge three years later.

Li Tiangang became angrier the more he thought about it, only hoping in his heart that that Four Standing Realm expert didn't have the patience to accompany Li Hao for three years.

After all, this child's temperament was not likable; the other party might not be able to endure it.

However, in case Second Uncle and Fifth Uncle's doting, promising a huge favor, it was not impossible that they would really accompany him for three years.

Thinking of this, he immediately set off to find them and ask for an explanation.

Just out of the room, snowflakes drifted in the sky outside.

The early winter snow had arrived.

Li Tiangang obviously didn't care about these snowflakes, didn't even open an umbrella, and flew straight to the Listening Rain Tower.

Inside the Listening Rain Tower, the guards at the door saw Li Tiangang and immediately bowed to salute.

Li Tiangang went straight to the seventh floor, scanned, but didn't see Second Uncle's figure, and couldn't help but feel even angrier.

He turned and returned downstairs, asking: "Where is the Old Marquis?"

"The Old Marquis seems to have gone fishing."

"Where is he fishing?"

"The little one doesn't know."

Li Tiangang was furious. He had heard since he was a child that this Second Uncle had a loose temper and was at odds with his father's brothers. It was truly so.

The other party's duty was to guard the Listening Rain Tower, but not only was his figure nowhere to be seen, but he couldn't even be found when he wanted to find him.

The guard saw his angry face and was terrified, as if thinking of something, and hurriedly said: "Lord Marquis, the subordinate seems to know a place where the Old Marquis might go."

"What place?"

"It's the Black Water Demon Lake that the Young Master mentioned, two thousand miles east of the city." The guard said respectfully.

Li Tiangang was about to set off immediately, but suddenly frowned and said: "Why did that child mention this to you?"

"The Young Master mentioned it casually. He often sends crispy cakes and snacks to the Old Marquis. The journey is long, and the Young Master worried that the food box wouldn't keep warm well..."

Li Tiangang's face turned black instantly: "Not practicing properly all day, using glib talk to please people. No wonder Second Uncle dotes on him so much!"

He flicked his sleeves and flew away, flying out of Qingzhou City in the blink of an eye.

Not long after.

Li Tiangang arrived at the Black Water Demon Lake. The vast long lake was boundless, black water surging.

He scanned, and a moment later, found a figure on one of the lake shores.

Li Tiangang flew straight over and landed.

The figure by the lake heard the movement and subconsciously turned his head: "Hao..."

Just as the smile appeared on his face, he saw Li Tiangang's cold and stern face, and immediately came to his senses, his eyes dimming.

"Second Uncle."

Although his heart was full of anger, Li Tiangang still bowed first after landing, then walked closer, glanced at the lake, and said: "You are fishing here?"

Fishing... Li Muxiu's expression returned to indifference, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He had only come here to sit in silence.

"How did you know about this place, and what are you looking for me for?"

Li Muxiu said indifferently.

Seeing this, Li Tiangang couldn't be bothered to exchange pleasantries, and said directly: "Second Uncle, I know you care about that child, but don't you think you are harming him by doing this?"

Li Muxiu turned his head to look at him and said, "And how exactly did I harm your son?"

"You let your friends look after Hao'er and secretly protect him. Isn't this forcing me to really cut off ties with him?" Li Tiangang said angrily.

Li Muxiu was slightly stunned, then immediately understood.

The day Li Hao left, he had already detected Feng Feng Bo Ping in the shadows, and the other party had also simply told him via voice transmission that he was going to escort Li Hao away.

Regarding this, besides saying a word of thanks, his mood was also extremely complex.

Without Feng Feng Bo Ping's support, that child might not have stepped over that threshold.

But, Feng Feng Bo Ping's willingness to support him was perhaps because he couldn't stand the grievances Hao'er suffered in front of his father.

Even an outsider couldn't stand it; how much of a failure was this?

Thinking of this, Li Muxiu looked at the anger in Li Tiangang's eyes, couldn't help but sneer, and said:

"Now you're afraid, afraid of losing Hao'er?"

"When you returned back then, I heard you gave Hao'er a slap. Why weren't you afraid then?"

"And I asked about the details of that day these few days. The reason Hao'er gave that little girl a slap was because she was spoiled and arrogant, and insulted Qingqing, right?"

"Hao'er was defending his mother; was he wrong?!"

Speaking of this, his originally calm emotions became agitated again, anger appearing in his eyes.

Li Tiangang's face changed slightly, somewhat speechless.

He had also investigated this matter later. Li Mingguang, Li Wushuang, and others were all present and confirmed this point.

It was indeed Eighth Brother's daughter, Li Rumeng, who mentioned Qingqing first and spoke rudely.

Regarding this, Eighth Brother personally gave his daughter a slap, had a big argument with his wife that day, and now there was no peace in his courtyard these few days.

He couldn't go to blame or teach anything anymore, and he also had some regret in his heart for that slap.

"Second Uncle, I know I am not a competent father, but my purpose is just to hope to teach him well. I have already regretted not taking him by my side to teach and take care of him all these years."

Li Tiangang said: "But you have seen that child's temper; it's like a stone. If you let your old friends continue to protect him, he will never experience the cruelty and wind and frost of the outside world."

Li Muxiu looked at him coldly and said:

"He is your son, not your enemy. Why must you make him experience the wind and frost of this world?"

Li Tiangang was stunned.

"I have no children. If I had children, I would wish to hold them in my arms and dote on them every day!"

Li Muxiu said coldly, "Children are not born to endure the cruelty of the wind and snow in this world; they are born to feel the love of their parents. I couldn't do that back then, so I didn't marry or have children, because I wasn't sure I could be a good father. But looking at it now, you are even less worthy!"

Li Tiangang was silent for a moment and said: "Second Uncle, you haven't been a father, you don't know my painstaking efforts. I also want to treat him well and make up for him being alone all these years, but there must be a limit to being good!"

"Those men on the battlefield, how many mothers and wives are waiting for them, yet they are buried on the battlefield forever. That he can see me return alive is already a great fortune!"

"But one day I will die. If he doesn't grow up, how can he carry the Li Clan forward? The ancestors, do you want them to be handed over to him?! Can he carry it?!"

Li Muxiu sneered, "If you don't try, how do you know it won't work? Hao'er is not as unbearable as you think. You don't understand him at all, and you have never truly cared about him!"

He raised his hand, caught the snowflake in front of him, and handed it to Li Tiangang:

"Look."

Li Tiangang still wanted to argue, but was stunned and said: "What?"

"It's snowing."

Li Muxiu said.

"I know." Li Tiangang said.

"Except for the day that child left, this is the second snow."

Li Muxiu looked at Li Tiangang and said, "When the first snow fell, you forced him out of the Li Clan. Now that the second snow is here, you come running to question me about why I had an old friend protect him. Ha, those who don't know might think you two aren't father and son, but enemies with a deep-seated grudge!"

He looked straight into Li Tiangang's eyes and said softly: "I don't know if you thought about whether that child was cold when you saw this falling snow, and whether he could eat and dress warmly over at the border?"

Li Tiangang's face changed slightly, clenched his fists slightly, and said in a low voice:

"With your old friend's protection, I suppose his journey was very comfortable? The Four Standing Realm demon kings dare not invade, and for the Three Imperishable Great Demons, there is Li He. Hongzhuang also doesn't make people worry, and stays there to take care of him."

"This child is doted on by thousands, what is a mere falling snow?"

Li Muxiu stared at him and said, "Never mind my old friend; the Li He you arranged—he wouldn't intervene unless the child was facing a life-or-death situation, would he?"

"Naturally."

Li Tiangang said: "Otherwise, how can I make him know the difficulties and retreat?"

Li Muxiu took a deep breath, stopped talking to him, and said, "Go back. If there's nothing else, don't bother me."

Li Tiangang immediately said: "If you let your old friend come back and stop doting on him, I naturally won't come to find you."

Li Muxiu sneered, "Do you really think my old friend is looking after Hao'er because of me?"

Li Tiangang raised an eyebrow and said: "Could it be that Second Uncle, you want to say that Hao'er got to know your old friend? This is a Four Standing Realm expert; who would care about him."

Li Muxiu was angry, but he held back the words on the tip of his tongue.

Feng Feng Bo Ping's identity was inconvenient to say, otherwise, he didn't know what kind of commotion it would cause.

"You go!"

Li Muxiu said coldly, "Rest assured, my old friend knows how to handle things. Under normal circumstances, he won't intervene, unless a Four Standing Realm demon king crosses the border."

"The Four Standing Realm demon kings don't have the guts to invade." Li Tiangang said.

"And if one does?" Li Muxiu stared at him.

Li Tiangang's face changed slightly, and he suddenly fell silent.

"The results of Liu Yuerong's interrogation should be coming out soon. If you have this much energy, you'd be better off seeking justice for your son. As for the matter of the divine blood, do you really still think Hao'er was just spouting nonsense to slander others?" Li Muxiu said coldly.

Li Tiangang thought of this matter, light flashed in his eyes, didn't speak, just bowed, and then flicked his sleeves and turned to fly away.

Li Muxiu watched the other figure disappear, the coldness on his face fading, and he sighed.

His gaze fell on the demon lake in front of him, and then, slowly shifted to a depression beside him.

Not far from where Li Tiangang was standing just now was the fishing platform where his son fished.

"Second Uncle, I've hooked another one!"

"Haha, Second Uncle, look, this one seems to be a big one!"

"Second Uncle, it's cooked, come and eat!"

The corners of Li Muxiu's eyes were slightly red. He knew in his heart that with the child's temperament, he was afraid he would never return.

Da Yu Prefecture, Imperial Capital Holy City.

In the towering palace.

Civil and military officials stood on both sides of the dragon-skin long carpet, having finished reporting the affairs of each prefecture earlier, and were now arguing fiercely.

"Your Majesty, it has been six days, you should make a decision!"

"That General Xing Wu Hou has just returned from the wars in Yanbei and was conferred a Third-Rank Duke. His son, arrogant due to being favored, relied on his ancient talent to fight General Xing Wu Hou. Father and son killing each other—it is simply a violation of moral principles!"

"If not punished severely, it is simply corrupting the etiquette. If people of the world are allowed to imitate it, where is the filial piety of the ruler and the subject!"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are reasons inside this matter. We still need to investigate clearly before speaking, and cannot make conclusions rashly."

"I heard that the child has heaven-gifted talent, stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm at fourteen, even more terrifying than the Ninth Son of the Li Clan back then. It is inevitable that he will be somewhat arrogant and frivolous, but he has already been taught a lesson by King Xing Wu and sent to Tianmen Pass. This punishment is already heavy enough!"

"It's just for show. I don't believe he won't send people to guard secretly. Hmph, if Tianmen Pass is breached, I want to see if his son can afford the responsibility!"

"Handing over such a dangerous place to a child is simply nonsense. If it is breached, what should be done? Behind Tianmen Pass are the hundreds of millions of people of the Great Liang Prefecture!"

"Those who violate etiquette should be killed!"

Everyone argued fiercely. The viewpoints were nothing more than two kinds: one was that he should be punished severely, and the other was that it was excusable and needed investigation, or should be handed over to the Li Clan to handle themselves, believing it was not a state affair but a private matter in the family.

But no matter which viewpoint, there were gaps to be refuted, so the argument had no result for several days.

On the dragon throne, the burly Emperor Yu looked straight ahead, his eyes seeming to contain the sun, moon, and stars, making people dare not look directly.

Hearing these people's messy arguments, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, thinking of the scene in front of the willow lake...

"That stinking brat, his temper is really big..." Emperor Yu thought inwardly.

He scanned, saw a group of civil officials standing quietly on the other side, and couldn't help but be interested, saying:

"My beloved ministers of the Hanlin Hall, what are your views?"

Hearing the Emperor speak, the arguments of others stopped, and they looked at this group of great scholars, their faces also carrying some curiosity and confusion.

In the past, when such things violated the etiquette, this bunch of weak scholars were always the first to jump out, and that sharp mouth was something even they had to avoid.

They were ultimately martial artists, and in terms of fighting with words, they were far inferior to this bunch of guys holding pens.

As a result, this time, these guys didn't have a sound at all, like spectators, seemingly not hearing it at all.

Fearing the Divine General Mansion? Fearing the Li Clan?

That would be a ghost.

This bunch of guys even dared to spray the Imperial Princes; what did the Li Clan count as? Which of the five Divine General Mansions hadn't been reprimanded by them?

If it weren't for their ancient merits, they really couldn't spray them, and they would have been sprayed away long ago.

Destroying social etiquette is equivalent to killing the common people; this is the most common rhetoric used by these scholars. They insist on equating these two different matters, giving those who dislike being constrained by trifles a massive headache.

Moreover, the Emperor attached great importance to the Hanlin Hall, and the status of civil officials in the court was not lower than that of martial generals, even because they were weak, they were more cared for by the Emperor.

Slaying demons and eliminating demons relied on martial generals, which was correct, but governing the country and stabilizing the state was the business of civil officials.

This world was not just demons; what could destroy a great nation also included human hearts.

And in governing human hearts, civil officials were good at it!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, we believe that although Li Hao is young and frivolous, he is definitely not a dissolute and arrogant person. He has the ambition of soaring clouds for ten thousand miles, and also has a heart of patriotism and worry for the people. This conflict must have a reason. I hope Your Majesty can investigate clearly and give this young man justice!"

After a while, the Grand Tutor of the Hanlin Hall, as a representative, stepped forward and said respectfully.

Hearing this, everyone in the court was stunned.

Was this still the Hanlin Hall they knew?

Was this still the stubborn Grand Tutor they knew?

This must have been bewitched!

"Grand Tutor, do you know what you are saying?"

Before the Emperor could speak, a Liangzhou martial general who had previously proposed punishing Li Hao stood out and said loudly:

"Father and son killing each other is correct, no matter the reason, he shouldn't have drawn his sword against his father, right? This is his own father!"

"Yes, if even this can be indulged, what else can't be done in the future?" Another person responded immediately.

Emperor Yu's mouth revealed a faint smile, but it was quickly restrained. No one noticed, after all, no one dared to look directly at the Emperor all the time. His expression was flat, saying:

"Beloved minister, this praise, how do you see it?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, we naturally have evidence."

The Grand Tutor glanced sideways at the Liangzhou Garrison Commander with disdain in his eyes. Although he was a civil official, with Emperor Da Yu backing him, these military generals didn't dare touch him even with half a finger.

Moreover, he knew why the other party proposed so fiercely—it was because King Xing Wu sent Li Hao to Tianmen Pass, worried that Tianmen Pass would be breached because of this, and when demons invaded, he would have to be the first to slay demons.

"Oh? What evidence?" Emperor Yu asked with interest. ===== CHAPTER 133 =====
