Chapter 178

With the defeat of the three Demon Kings, the demon tide outside the pass also collapsed one-sidedly, fleeing in all directions, but most were left behind and hacked to death by chaotic swords.

Many grandmasters returned to the camp, first paying respects to Lu Lu Chunsheng and Li Li Muxiu, and then all gathered in front of Li Hao.

They were basically all stained with blood, some seriously injured, with arms broken, some with calves torn, bandaged, and some with eyeballs or half of their faces torn off by some demons, bloody and blurred, all having applied medicinal powder.

In this battle, if Lu Lu Chunsheng hadn't arrived in time, most of them would have been wiped out.

"We won!"

Someone said a sentence, and then the others also felt a bit more spirited.

Compared to them, the number of demons that died here was even greater.

However, there were also many hot-blooded people who had gathered from various states who had fallen into eternal sleep.

Li Hao didn't speak, just bowed deeply to them.

Although it was the guidance and arrangement of the Huang Tianji Tower, the sacrifices these people made by coming here were real.

Lu Lu Chunsheng didn't stay here long, saying to Li Hao: "I will wait for you at the Huang Tianji Tower."

Then he turned around and drifted away, disappearing without a trace.

In the distance, a group of warhorses galloped over, the leading figure in bright red battle armor, it was Li Li Hongzhuang who had returned to Qingzhou earlier.

Looking at Li Hao's miserable appearance covered in blood and flesh, she who had seen countless soldiers die in battle, her eye sockets also became moist, and she stepped forward: "I'm late!"

Li Hao shook his head slightly: "Thank you for your reinforcement."

"What thanks to say to me." Li Li Hongzhuang said with red eyes.

Li Hao didn't continue, but said to the Great Tianren Zongshi Lin Lin Qingfeng, who had intact limbs:

"Trouble you, Senior, to help me count the heroic martyrs who died in battle, it would be even better if you could identify their identities."

Lin Lin Qingfeng nodded slightly, greeted a few people, and turned to leave.

Li Li Hongzhuang said: "Just call me for this kind of thing."

She turned around and said: "Brothers, go count the battlefield, bring back all the brothers who sacrificed, try to piece together the broken limbs completely!"

"Yes!"

The Blood Fiend Army behind her responded in unison, then drove their horses away.

Li Hao sat on the ground, the Sacred Heart Treasure Talisman in his hand had already burned to nothing.

Thinking of Chu Chu Jiuyue gifting this talisman earlier, she probably anticipated today's events.

And that General Tower Tianren Zongshi Lu Lu Chunsheng, appearing and coming forward "just in time" when he used the Sacred Heart Treasure Talisman, everything seemed too coincidental.

Li Hao sat casually on the sand, his gaze looking at the sunset glow in the distance, a trace of bitterness appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Regardless, the other party's support was real and in place. If not for this, even if he didn't die today, he would have to peel off a layer of skin, and that promise would definitely have been broken.

If His Majesty Emperor Yu was that old man playing chess by the Willow River, Li Hao could only say that he won those two games, but today's move, the other party pressed on his lifeline, it was ruthless enough!

Yuzhou, Sacred Capital Imperial City.

In the back courtyard of the majestic Imperial Palace, in a back garden with sparse snow.

There was a flower bed that had already revealed new branches. The cold winter of this year was also coming to the end of the season, about to fall.

"Your Majesty, the plum blossoms stand proudly, and the spring flowers are about to bloom."

Chu Chu Jiuyue's voice was soft, looking at a touch of pale yellow gradually revealed in the flower bed, saying respectfully.

The snow in this garden had been swept away, and this flower bed had also been carefully managed by someone. The flower seeds were carefully selected from ten thousand seeds, so the varieties were excellent.

"Yes, the cold winter is coming to an end, the spring rain is coming soon..."

Emperor Yu walked slowly in the garden. Following Chu Chu Jiuyue's voice, he stopped in front of this flower bed. After looking twice, he raised his head and looked at the distant horizon.

His gaze flickered, and he said softly:

"The matter at Tianmen Pass should be ending soon."

Chu Chu Jiuyue calculated the time and nodded: "Two days later, Lu Chunsheng's news should be sent."

"The intention this time is too obvious, that child will probably notice it, right."

Emperor Yu's mouth curled up slightly, thinking of the youth who said "Fame and wealth are all dust, glory and wealth are also floating clouds" by the river.

The other party's daring to abandon the Li family surname seemed to correspond to that sentence, the youth has his own youth madness.

While looking down on fame and wealth, he had a light and crazy heart inside, which made him very fond of him.

"Didn't Your Majesty intend for him to know?"

Chu Chu Jiuyue played dumb. If he directly flattered him by saying, Your Majesty, your layout cannot be seen through by anyone, it would be too cliché, falling into the lower class. Moreover, His Majesty appreciated that child very much, and these words also had the meaning of belittling the other party, which was not a witty remark.

"If he sees through it, will he have other thoughts and blame Your Majesty?"

Chu Chu Jiuyue asked.

He knew that what Emperor Yu wanted to hear was not just his flattery.

"Hehe..."

Hearing Chu Chu Jiuyue's words, Emperor Yu laughed lightly: "If it's a plan, there will be a route, and it's easy to be seen through."

"All calculations in the world are not as good as sincerity."

"Only a sincere heart is what cannot be seen through."

Chu Chu Jiuyue was slightly stunned, looked at this Majesty, saying so, is His Majesty sincere toward that youth?

His gaze flickered, not knowing whether to believe these words.

But since His Majesty had said so, he could only believe it.

Liangzhou, Tianmen Pass.

In the camp of Cangya City, one-third of the martial artists and grandmasters from various states who came to help had died in battle, and another third had said goodbye to Li Hao and left.

The remaining part intended to stay here and help Li Hao guard for a while longer.

Everyone saw Li Hao's seriously injured appearance and were waiting for Li Hao's injuries to heal.

In the cemetery inside the border, many new graves had been added.

Among those fallen grandmasters, there were also their wives and disciples who came after hearing the news, wanting to take their remains back for burial.

Li Hao naturally agreed.

On a hill outside the pass.

Two figures sat here, at this moment there was no wind or snow, and beside them were only two small pots of wine; it was Li Li Muxiu and Feng Feng Bo Ping.

"What goods have you caught recently?"

Feng Feng Bo Ping drank a sip of small wine, looked at the wind and snow in front of him, and asked casually.

Li Li Muxiu shook his head slightly: "Not in the mood to fish."

Feng Feng Bo Ping was stunned, looked at this old friend, and suddenly said: "You rushed to reinforce, was it really arranged by that True Dragon of your Li family?"

Li Li Muxiu lowered his head and used his fingers to stir the snow on the ground, not speaking.

Feng Feng Bo Ping also guessed the answer, sighed: "If you say so, you want to persuade Hao'er to go back, are you sure you want him to return to that place, even an outsider like me can't stand it, I don't believe you are really willing."

Li Li Muxiu's fingers stopped in the snow drawing circles. He raised his head and looked at Feng Feng Bo Ping:

"If I don't say so, can Hao'er go back? You also saw how dangerous Hao'er was this time, almost both of you died!"

"Even if he goes back holding his nose, at least it's safe there. When Hao'er inherits the True Dragon in the future and his strength surpasses his father's, does he still need to look at the other party's face?"

Feng Feng Bo Ping was silent for a while, then said: "What is the True Dragon's real meaning? Since you weren't sent by him, what did he do? He wouldn't not know what Tianmen Pass would suffer, right?"

Li Li Muxiu sighed and said: "He went to the eastern border of Liangzhou, the border camp there was attacked, the west side where Li Xuanli sits couldn't reinforce in time, and that attack was likely a feint by the demons, so he led the troops to conquer personally."

"When Li Hongzhuang went back, he happened to be on an expedition. It's a troubled time, who knows what will happen in the next few years."

Feng Feng Bo Ping said in surprise: "Is it that chaotic? The demons outside Liangzhou have revealed their tracks. Since you have detected their tracks, they shouldn't easily sneak attack or change positions, no need to stare at this place."

"Moreover, didn't His Majesty send reinforcements? This is a rare good opportunity for baiting and killing."

Li Li Muxiu shook his head: "His Majesty can't spare his hands, it's not just one state that was attacked, several large states are not optimistic. You don't know, three months ago in Qizhou, the border almost lost defense, three cities were destroyed overnight, not a single person escaped. That is the Xia family's territory, now the Xia family is also waiting in full battle array."

"Then you went to the Xia family because of this?"

Li Li Muxiu picked up the wine pot and drank a sip, not saying much.

Saying too much about these military aspects to Feng Feng Bo Ping would be of no benefit to this old friend.

Feng Feng Bo Ping also realized he asked too much, and although they were close friends, some things did not infringe on each other.

"Don't worry about Hao'er here, this old life of mine can still last a few years."

Feng Feng Bo Ping said to him.

Li Li Muxiu looked at him and nodded: "It's also a grievance for you to be tied here for these three years."

"Don't come with that, if you really feel aggrieved, let me go to your Li family's ancestral treasury for a stroll later." Feng Feng Bo Ping snorted coldly.

Li Li Muxiu rolled his eyes at him: "Don't even think about it."

The crowd who stayed at Tianmen Pass looked at the "Cangya City" that had been beaten down to only a small dirt mound, and the cemetery that was as endless as a city wall, and were all shocked and speechless.

At this moment, they finally knew what a real border city was.

This is a city of flesh and blood, a city of heroic souls!

Many people were moved and chose to stay to help Li Hao rebuild Cangya City.

With the help of these martial artists, this project started quickly and progressed rapidly.

As the saying goes, many hands make light work. Their circle of connections was huge. Besides stone and wood for building the city, which could be opened up outside the pass, the rest of the daily necessities were transported from various cities.

Therefore, on that Longguan Road that had been empty for decades, flags of merchant teams were gradually seen.

And the numbers of escort agencies passed by.

This silent road, now, seemed to finally have people passing through again, becoming a real road!

The end of this road leads to Cangya City.

Outside the original small dirt mound, the towering city wall had already stood up. With the help of many in the Fifteen-Li Realm and grandmasters, transporting large stones was easy, and the speed of building the city could be described as changing with each passing day, progressing rapidly.

Rising from the flat ground, rising from the city.

Building after building propped up, carved with dragons and phoenixes, beautifully built.

On the city wall, as the ropes were pulled open, a military flag fluttered in the wind.

On it were two huge mysterious characters:

General Hao Tian!
