Li Yuanzhao's body was shaken by the photo, as if his soul had been knocked back into his body, and his eyes became moist.

Li Hao smiled, and then looked at Song Yufeng and other Tan Palace disciples in the distance, as well as the transformed azure figure.

"You can't leave!"

Li Tiangang seemed to have come to his senses, and suddenly stood in front of Li Hao, with anger on his face: "Even if I am..."

"Even what?"

Li Hao paused slightly and looked quietly at Li Tiangang who was standing in front of him. Just a glance with his calm eyes suddenly made all the blood and arrogance in Li Tiangang's body seem to be extinguished, like cold water pouring on his head.

He was stunned in place and suddenly realized that it was not two years ago.

In the beginning, he could have disabled and tied Li Hao back, but now he couldn't.

He was slightly absent-minded, but he quickly came to his senses and gritted his teeth and said, "I am now asking you as a Duke that you cannot leave. You must stay in Qingzhou City!"

Li Hao glanced at him lightly and said: "Speaking of which, I was reminded. If I remember correctly, I quelled the chaos in Liangzhou, and your Majesty seemed to have granted me a dukedom. You are a duke, and I am also a duke.

You are the second class and I am the third class. Although I am lower than you, I am both a duke and you have no right to order me."

"In addition, please return your majesty's awards and letters to the Li family. I will report them to your majesty later. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Li family. If there are any more awards or edicts, they can be sent directly to my territory."

When he was guarding Cangyu City at the age of fourteen, he was crowned an earl and was given a fiefdom. However, he had never gone to see it, but it didn't matter, the fiefdom was always there.

Hearing Li Hao's words, Li Tiangang's body trembled even more violently. The Duke, who was less than sixteen years old, was the only one in the entire Yu Dynasty. He was a little confused. What did he do wrong? Why did he end up like this today?

kind of situation?

As Li Hao spoke, he walked straight past Li Tiangang and came to Song Yufeng and others to reminisce about old times.

Song Yufeng heard all this from the side, but secretly sighed and regretted in his heart, and avoided it when reminiscing with Li Hao.

After a brief chat, we agreed to meet again in the evening.

Li Hao looked at Song Qiumo. This woman stood in the air like autumn water, clear and high, with an unapproachable chill, but her eyes were like the softest water, staring at Li Hao.

The two looked at each other, and it seemed like many words were contained in this one look.

Both of them smiled.

…

…

Returning to Qingzhou City, when the Li family ordered the soldiers to clean up the demon corpses on the city wall, Li Hao and Song Qiumo walked in the city together.

Behind them, the young man in the form of the candle god followed silently.

And Xiyan has returned to Li Hao's wrist. After Mr. Li Muchiu's injury stabilizes, he can slowly heal himself with the Li family's magic medicine, and there is no need for her to continue treatment.

"I see……"

Song Qiumo and Li Hao chatted while walking. When he accompanied Li Hao to visit this old place again, he naturally asked about the news of Li Hao's death.

Only then did Li Hao know that the Li family had held a funeral for him, and everyone thought he was dead.

He smiled slightly and felt that this was very good. The child was indeed dead and buried in the abyss forever. The funeral was not in vain.

And Song Qiumo learned that Li Hao narrowly escaped death from the demon saint. Although Li Hao did not elaborate, she understood that Li Hao had encountered dangers beyond imagination. It was no wonder that the Li family believed that Li Hao was dead.

She sighed secretly, unable to imagine what Li Hao had experienced during this period.

"You are much stronger than me now."

Song Qiumo said with a smile.

Li Hao also smiled: "As for practice, it is only useful when killing monsters. Instead of praising my practice, I would like you to praise my paintings."

Song Qiumo blinked slightly and couldn't help but laugh.

This young man is still as weird and different as before.

"Uncle Liu!"

Li Hao suddenly called out and waved to a small shop on the street.

The shop opened a small door and peeked out, as if he was still unsure whether the demon had been completely eliminated.

Hearing Li Hao's call, the middle-aged couple inside the door froze for a moment and looked at Li Hao doubtfully.

"Make me two portions of cotton jade crispy cakes." Li Hao said with a smile.

The middle-aged couple were stunned and looked at Li Hao with some uncertainty, but after thinking about the news coming from the Li family, they still did not dare to ask. In addition to the young master, the boys and girls nearby who came to eat their food also called him this way.

"I won't go out today."

The middle-aged man said.

Li Hao was a little disappointed when he heard this: "Okay then."

Song Qiumo's eyes flashed slightly but said nothing.

But the middle-aged couple seemed to hear something suddenly, their whole bodies tensed up, their eyes became a little panicked, and they looked at Li Hao, feeling a little timid.

"That's not impossible. Just wait."

The middle-aged man, Uncle Liu, said quickly, and then quickly retreated home.

His wife smiled apologetically at Li Hao and said, "That's right, it can be done right away. It'll be ready right away."

Li Hao saw this and nodded with a smile: "Thank you very much."

The couple immediately retreated into the house and got busy. They had not thought about setting up the stall today, nor had they made the dough in advance. They had to make everything new.

Li Hao looked at Song Qiumo next to him and sighed: "Uncle Liu is a very nice person, don't scare them."

Song Qiumo looked innocent: "What?"

Seeing her like this, Li Hao also smiled helplessly. Although the fluctuations in the other party's voice transmission were obscure, there was no way he could hide it from him now.

Immediately, the two of them stood at the door of the small shop, waiting quietly.

Not long after, several portions of cotton jade crisps were ready.

Li Hao took it and handed one to Song Qiumo, one to Zhuhuo Shen, and gave one to Xi Yan:

"Try it too, this is the delicacy of the world."

Xiyan was curious, rolled up her red beard, got into the oil paper wrapped in crispy cake and started eating.

"Well, it's so crispy and fragrant. Is this what you humans eat?"

Xiyan suddenly heard a sound of joy and comfort, as well as the sound of eating again and again.

"If you like it, eat more."

Li Hao smiled and said to Uncle Liu, "Can I have a few more servings?"

The middle-aged couple nodded quickly and continued.

After carrying a bag with four or five servings in it, Li Hao followed Song Qiumo and continued to stroll slowly along the old streets of Jiudi, eating as he walked.

"This tastes really good."

"That's because I couldn't buy Qingzhi and Uncle Liu's stall moved to the foot of Tan Gong Academy, so I went there and went to school."

"...You are really good at it."

Song Qiumo was also speechless. Who would have thought that Tan Gong Academy could receive such a peerless disciple because of the charm of an ordinary peddler.

When he arrived at Yunxia Tower, Li Hao was familiar with the road and booked a private room on the top floor with the proprietress.

Later, he asked Yunxialou to send invitations in his name to various places.

As night fell, there were mountains of monster corpses piled up outside the city, but soldiers were cleaning up, and notices were posted inside the city. There were soldiers from the Li family reporting on the carriages and horses along the way that all the monsters outside the city had been eliminated, and Qingzhou City was safe.

!

This announcement lasted from afternoon to evening. At night, thousands of lights were lit in the city.

There were also many brave people wandering around on the streets, attracting more people to come out of their homes, and the streets gradually became busier again.

Various restaurants, teahouses and other places soon opened for business again, and those who had a little money went to these lively places to gather together to chat and explore.

Those who had no money would enjoy the company of others in the shade in alleys, yards and other places, chatting in small groups about what they had heard today, and slapping the banana leaf fan in their hands from time to time to drive away biting mosquitoes.

And what everyone was talking about was the call that shook the whole city, the size of this demon, and the names that came out when they killed those demon kings.

"Have you heard that the monster called Haotian? Do you know who Haotian is? Yes, he is the one from Liangzhou, the general who single-handedly put an end to the evil in Liangzhou!"

"God blessed me Dayu. He sent a star to earth and appeared in the sky. It's a pity that I never saw his true appearance."

"I must be sixteen now. I have been granted the title of Duke and the title of General. Tsk, tsk, this reputation has been well-known for thousands of years and no one should be able to surpass it!"

"Is General Haotian the one from the Li family?"

"General Haotian is General Haotian. Isn't the one from the Li family dead?"

"That's right, the Li family held a funeral not long ago. Although it was a low-key affair, I saw with my own eyes that the Li family had an IOU when I passed by."

"Really? It seems that I remembered it wrong. It's a pity that the genius of the Li family is also a dragon and a phoenix among people."

"Aren't they the same person? It's just that the Li family made a mistake?"
