With the defeat of the three demon kings, the demon tide outside the pass was also defeated and fled in all directions, but most of them were left behind and hacked to death with random swords.

Many masters returned to the camp, visited Lu Chunsheng and Li Muchiu one after another, and then gathered in front of Li Hao.

Most of them were covered in blood. Some were severely injured, with arms broken, some had their calves torn and bandaged, and some had their eyes torn off by some demon. They were all bloody and covered in powder.

.

In this battle, if Lu Chunsheng had not arrived in time, their entire army would probably have been annihilated.

"We won!"

Someone said something, and soon everyone else became more energetic.

Compared with them, there are more demons who died here.

However, there are also many passionate people from various states who have fallen asleep forever.

Li Hao said nothing, but bowed deeply to them.

Although it was the guidance and arrangement of Tianji Tower, the sacrifices these people made to come here were real.

Lu Chunsheng did not stay here longer and said to Li Hao: "I'll wait for you at Tianji Tower."

Then he turned around and disappeared without a trace.

A group of war horses galloped in the distance, and the leading figure was dressed in bright red armor. It was Li Hongzhuang who had returned to Qingzhou earlier.

She looked at Li Hao's bloody state. She had seen countless soldiers die in battle, and her eyes became moist. She stepped forward and said, "I'm late!"

Li Hao shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you for your reinforcement."

"How can I thank you?" Li Hongzhuang said with red eyes.

Li Hao did not answer any more, but said to the Grand Master Lin Qingfeng who had intact hands and feet next to him:

"Senior, please help me count the heroes who died in the war. It would be better if I could identify their identities."

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

Li Hongzhuang said: "Just ask me to do this."

She turned around and said: "Brothers, go and take inventory of the battlefield, bring back all the brothers who died, and try to piece together the broken limbs and pieces as complete as possible!"

"yes!"

The Blood Demon Army behind her all responded and immediately rode away.

Li Hao sat down on the ground, and the Sacred Heart Talisman in his hand had burned out.

Thinking of Chu Jiuyue's gift of this talisman before, he probably expected what happened today.

And the chief building owner, Lu Chunsheng, "happened" to show up when he was casting the Sacred Heart Talisman. Everything seemed to be too coincidental.

Li Hao spread his legs and sat casually on the sand, looking at the calming sunset in the distance, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.

No matter what, the other party's support is really in place. If not, even if he doesn't die today, he will still shed his skin, and the agreement will definitely be broken.

If His Majesty Emperor Yu was the old man playing chess by the Willow River, Li Hao could only say that he had won the two games at that time, but with today's move, the opponent had pressed his lifeline, and he had done enough.

Absolutely!

…

…

Yuzhou, the imperial city of the Holy Capital.

In the back courtyard of the majestic palace, in a back garden with thin snow.

In one of the flowerbeds, new branches are already showing, and this year's cold winter is coming to an end.

"Your Majesty, the plum blossoms are standing proudly, and the jasmine flowers are about to bloom."

Chu Jiuyue said with a soft voice, looking at the light yellow gradually revealed in the flower bed, and said respectfully.

The snow in this garden has been cleared, and the flowerbed has been carefully tended. The flower seeds are carefully selected from thousands of seeds, so the varieties are all of the best.

"Yes, winter is coming to an end and spring rain is coming..."

Emperor Yu walked slowly in the garden. Following Chu Jiuyue's voice, he stopped in front of the flower bed. After taking a look, he looked up to the distant sky.

His eyes flickered and he said softly:

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

Chu Jiuyue calculated the time, nodded and said: "In two days, the news about Chunsheng should come."

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

The corners of Emperor Yu's mouth slightly raised, thinking of the young man by the river who said, "Fame and wealth are all dust, glory and wealth are also clouds."

The other party dared to give up the Li family name, which seemed to be in response to the other party's words, young people have their own teenage madness.

While he looked down on fame, he also had a frivolous heart, which he loved very much.

"Didn't His Majesty intend to let him know?"

Chu Jiuyue was confused. If he were to directly flatter and say that no one can see through your majesty's plan, it would be too cliché and would fall into the inferior category. Besides, your majesty admires the child very much. This statement also means to belittle the other party.

Not a punchline.

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

Chu Jiuyue asked.

He knew that Emperor Yu wanted to hear more than just his own flattery.

"hehe……"

Hearing Chu Jiuyue's words, Emperor Yu chuckled: "As long as it is a plan, there will be a route, and it will be easy for others to see through the route."

"All the calculations in the world are inferior to sincerity."

"Only a sincere heart can't be seen through."

Chu Jiuyue was slightly startled and glanced at His Majesty. So, is His Majesty sincere towards that young man?

His eyes flickered, not knowing whether to believe this or not.

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

…

…

Liangzhou, Tianmen Pass.

In the camp of Cangya City, one-third of the warriors and masters from various states who originally came to help were killed in the battle, and the other third said goodbye to Li Hao and left.

The remaining part plans to stay here and help Li Hao guard it for a while.

Everyone saw Li Hao's seriously injured appearance, and they were all waiting for Li Hao's injury to heal.

Many new graves have been added to the cemetery in the border area.

Among the fallen masters, there were also their wives and disciples. After learning the news, they came over to take their bodies back for burial.

Li Hao naturally agreed.

On a hilltop outside the pass.

Two figures are sitting here. There is no wind or snow at the moment. There are only two small bottles of wine around them. It is Li Muchiu and Feng Boping.

"What have you caught recently?"

Feng Boping took a sip of wine, looked at the wind and snow in front of him, and asked casually.

Li Muchiu shook his head slightly: "I'm not in the mood to go fishing."

Feng Boping was slightly stunned, looked at his old friend, and suddenly said: "You came here for reinforcements, is it really arranged by the real dragon of your Li family?"

Li Muchiu lowered his head and plucked the snow on the ground with his fingers, saying nothing.

Feng Boping also expected the answer and sighed: "Are you saying this to persuade Hao'er to go back? Are you sure you want him to go back to that place? You can't even stand looking at me as an outsider. I don't believe you are really willing to go back."

."

Li Muchiu's fingers stopped in the circled snow. He raised his head and turned to look at Feng Boping:

"Otherwise, can Hao'er go back? You also saw how dangerous Hao'er was this time, almost both of you died!"

"Even if you hold your nose and go back, at least you will be safe there. When Hao'er inherits the true dragon in the future and surpasses his father in strength, why will he need to look at the other party's face again?"

Feng Boping was silent for a moment, then said: "What does the real dragon mean? Since you were not sent by him, what did he do? Does he not know what will happen to Tianmen Pass?"

Li Muchiu sighed and said: "He went to the eastern border of Liangzhou. The border military camp there was attacked. The west side where Xuanli was stationed had no time to reinforce. Moreover, the attack there was probably a demon attacking from the east to the west, so he personally led the team.

Off to war."

"When Hongzhuang came back, he happened to be on an expedition. Now it's a troubled time. I don't know what will happen in the next few years."

Feng Boping said in surprise: "Is it so chaotic? The demons outside Liangzhou have appeared. Since you have noticed the traces, they should not attack again or move their positions. There is no need to keep an eye on this place."

"Besides, your Majesty hasn't sent any reinforcements. This is a rare opportunity for trapping."
