Red blood horse!

Li Tiangang sat calmly on the lion's back and saw the young man in the center of the official road at the end of his sight.

He immediately recognized the young man sitting on his horse, and looked at the young man's face. He was very handsome and clear, especially between his eyebrows and eyes, there was the outline of his lover engraved in his heart.

Li Tiangang was shocked.

Li Hao was also staring at the strong and steady man.

The blurry image in his memory seemed to become clear at this moment. It was the man who rubbed his head with rough hands fourteen years ago.

They haven't seen each other for fourteen years, but in this short glance, they both recognized each other's identity very quickly.

Whoosh!

Li Tiangang jumped suddenly, soared from the back of the dragon lion, and landed in front of the young man's red-blooded horse.

The young man also quickly turned over and dismounted. Naturally, there was no reason for him to talk to his father on horseback.

"Hao'er?"

Li Tiangang's voice was trembling.

Li Hao felt the concern and deep emotion in his voice, and the unfamiliar feeling disappeared in an instant.

Maybe, this is the feeling of blood connection?

"father."

Li Hao also spoke, although it was a bit difficult and a bit embarrassing, but he knew that his father in this life was the man in front of him.

Li Tiangang excitedly hugged Li Hao into his arms.

I haven’t seen my child in fourteen years, and he is so old!

He was in agitated mood.

With those broad embraces and strong thick arms, Li Hao immediately felt a solid sense of security.

At this moment, his heart seemed to have settled.

He also gently held his father's waist with both hands, but suddenly thought of something, glanced around, and asked: "Where is mother?"

As soon as the words came out, the man hugging him felt his body shake slightly.

Li Hao's complexion suddenly changed, and the blood all over his body seemed to have a tendency to solidify in an instant.

Li Tiangang slowly let go of Li Hao, and his dark and deep eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes and deep pain: "Your mother...she's gone."

Gone...?

Li Hao's thinking seemed to be stuck.

The woman with the bright and caring eyes in my memory...is gone?

It seemed like a beautiful painting shattered in the darkness.

Li Hao suddenly looked at the triumphant team behind him. He ignored and blocked the countless envious and concerned looks and voices from both sides of the road, except for the wounded.

But inside, there was no beautiful figure holding him fourteen years ago.

Li Hao looked grim and said, "How could it be possible? Mom, hasn't she always been with you? Aren't you two born and died together?"

Li Tiangang's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say a word.

Li Hao looked at him suddenly: "When did mother leave? Why have I never heard from aunt?"

"A few months ago."

Li Tiangang was slightly silent: "I blocked the news and there was no external news."

Speaking of this, he saw that Li Hao seemed to want to say something more, and patted his son's shoulder with his generous palm: "Let's go back first."

Li Hao was originally full of joy, but now he was a little lost.

The people on the roadside were still cheering, praising the triumph of Marquis Xingwu and the Li family's illustrious military exploits.

Only Li Hao, who was pulled onto the back of the dragon lion by Li Tiangang and rode with his father, knew.

I lost my mother on this day.

…

Return to the Divine General's Mansion.

He Jianlan, Liu Yuerong and many other ladies gathered together happily and had already arrived at Shanhe Courtyard to wait.

Li Xuanli even ran to the door of the house, pacing back and forth and looking anxiously. It wasn't until Li Tiangang appeared that both brothers smiled.

After hugging each other deeply.

Li Xuanli hit Li Tiangang's chest armor hard, then rubbed Li Hao's head next to him, looking up and around with a smile:

"Where are the younger siblings?"

Li Tiangang's expression changed slightly, he shook his head and said, "We'll talk about it when we get home."

Li Xuanli was stunned, his face suddenly changed, and then he noticed that when he rubbed Li Hao's head, the little guy didn't move at all.

The smile on Li Xuanli's face also disappeared, he nodded slightly and accompanied them back home.

In Shanhe Courtyard.

With the return of Li Tiangang, there was a lot of excitement, but soon they learned that the Seventh Lady Ji Qingqing had not returned.

Li Tiangang only said two simple words and left.

The atmosphere in the hospital immediately became cold.

Everyone looked at each other with a trace of sadness and lamentation in their eyes. They had experienced this kind of thing many times.

Everyone came forward one after another to comfort Li Tiangang and Li Hao.

Only He Jianlan watched from a distance, sighed and said nothing.

Li Wushuang, who had just been beaten by Li Haofang this morning, still had some lingering pain in her buttocks at this moment, but when she looked at the lonely figure of the young man standing beside her father without saying a word, she did not feel gloating in her heart. Instead, she felt a little shocked and intolerable.

All those resentments suddenly disappeared.

Although she had wanted to teach Li Hao a lesson before and was angry with him for humiliating her, after all, they were blood relatives and they were all members of the Li family, and she had never really thought about harming him.

The celebration that was originally prepared ended at this moment, but the meal had to be eaten after all. Everyone at the table spoke softly and asked Li Tiangang about the situation in Yanbei over the years.

Although there are occasional important events, military reports are sent home, but it is always inconvenient to go into details. At this moment, what has been accumulated for many years can be revealed.

When the sun went down and all the wives of each hospital left, Li Xuanli still wanted to stay here to accompany Lao Qi, but he was pulled away by his own wife.

Gao Qingqing saw her husband's thoughts and felt unhappy. She pulled him aside and said secretly:

"Is this something you can comfort with a few words? My father and son haven't seen each other for many years, why are you here to be an eyesore?"

Only then did Li Xuanli react like an enlightenment. He grabbed his wife's catkins and secretly sighed that he was lucky to have such a good wife. Then he said goodbye to Li Tiangang and led his wife and children back.

Soon, only Li Tiangang and the followers he brought back from Yanbei were left in the courtyard, plus Li Hao, Zhao Bo and other people in the courtyard.

During the meal, Li Hao listened to other aunts' inquiries and learned many things about Yanbei.

Ordinary wars last for two or three years at most, and few wars last for seven or eight years. But this time it lasted for more than ten years, mainly because the Holy Palace forces on the side of the demon tribe wanted to tear Yanbei apart.

This is a gap that occupies a favorable terrain to deal with Dayu.

Through conversation, Li Hao also learned that although Dayu was in prosperity, the prosperity did not mean that the border areas were peaceful.

In any dynasty, there will always be people stationed at the border, because there will always be criminals, it’s just a matter of how many.

But from this battle, it is obvious that Dayu has not completely eliminated the foreign enemies. In other words, the territory that Dayu and his ancestors had previously opened up and the demons that frightened them have a tendency to come back again after thousands of years have passed.

Dayu was like an aging lion, his prosperity was showing signs of decline.

I just don’t know if this residual power can still deter people for hundreds of years?

Li Hao wanted to ask about the details of his mother's accident, but as soon as he mentioned it, Li Tiangang shook his head with an ugly expression and said:

"Hao'er, I'm sorry for your mother. From now on, we will be the only ones in this courtyard."

Li Hao was silent.

He suddenly realized that he was not the only one who was heartbroken about his mother's accident.

When she accompanied her husband on a starry night journey to the frontier, it showed the deep love between the couple.

Over the years, Li Hao has heard many interesting stories about his parents' love when they were young.

I only got along with my mother for a short period of less than a hundred days, but my father had been with her for more than ten years. The friendship was so deep that I was afraid that I could not match it.

After a short silence, Li Hao still asked:

"Has my mother's revenge been avenged?"

Li Tiangang's body shook, and then he nodded: "I've paid you back."

Li Hao breathed out lightly: "That's good."

Father and son looked at each other in silence.
