The veteran of the Xia family was about to turn back when he suddenly heard the sound of bones and blood bursting. He couldn't help but be startled. He turned around and saw a horrifying scene.

The big demon, who had an arrogant attitude and a relaxed face just now, now actually seems to have been crushed by something, and his true form has not even been revealed.

And among the exploding flesh and blood, a figure struggled to rush out, but as soon as it flew out, it was squeezed extremely hard, wailed and dissipated, and its soul was destroyed.

The shrill scream before his death made many Xia family soldiers at the head of Liyang City stunned, looking at this strange scene in amazement.

On the official road under the city wall, a young man came briskly on horseback. Looking at the closed city gate, he raised his head and said:

"Old sir, can you let them open the lower city gate?"

The young man's cry in front of the city gate made the Xia family veteran react in mid-air. He looked down and suddenly had a horrified look on his face.

The young man was sitting on the horse, with a calm and breezy appearance. Although he was dressed in simple and rough linen clothes, his facial features were as handsome as the flowing clouds in the picture. His temperament was unique and unforgettable, giving people a quiet and leisurely feeling.

His gaze extended to the back of the young man, and he immediately saw that the official road that was already stained with the blood of the family's children, and the waves of demons lurking on both sides of the official road, all fell down and lost their breath.

"you……"

The Xia family veteran's pupils shrank and he looked at the young man in shock. In his eyes, the latter was more terrifying than a monster at the moment.

On the top of the city, following the inexplicable death of the big demon of the Three Immortal Realms, several other Xia family generals also chased to the magic circle in shock. When they saw the situation outside the city, they found that there was only a young man on horseback outside the city.

"Did you kill the monster?"

The veteran of the Xia family did not dare to fly into the air and quickly landed in front of the young man. If the big demon was killed by the young man in front of him, this young man's strength would be too terrifying and he must be in the Four Standing Realm.

And for such a young being who could rival the Four Realms, he could only think of one name.

It's the one from Liangzhou.

"Um."

Li Hao nodded slightly, there was no need to cover up such a small matter:

"I heard that the Xia family was in trouble, and I happened to be passing by, so I helped you solve the problem."

Seeing the young man's admission, the veteran of the Xia family shrank his pupils and said in a trembling voice: "You, you are that Major General Haotian?!"

His face was full of shock and shock, and he soon became excited.

The story of Liangzhou has long been spread, and even though it is not under the jurisdiction of the Xia family, the young man's reputation is spread among the armies of all nineteen states.

Suppressing demons alone and rescuing Liangzhou, whose border was completely occupied, was just like the young man who guarded Cangzhou more than ten years ago, like a star emerging from the sky, dazzling and brilliant.

Moreover, that young man can kill the demon king, and now that he appears here, Liyang City can be saved!!

Seeing Li Hao's smiling face, the veteran of the Xia family suddenly woke up, realized that he was being rude, and quickly bowed and said:

"I've met Duke Haotian!"

In the past, they always addressed him as "Young General", just because they heard too many rumors and it was easy to say.

However, since Liangzhou turned from danger to safety, there has been a long debate between the DPRK and the Central Government, and the reward has long been issued.

After all, it has been two months since the war ended.

The reward was sent to Qingzhou, to the palace of the illustrious general, and was received on his behalf, and the title of the reward was also announced to the world from the imperial city.

Created a third-class Duke!

He jumped directly from earl to marquis and directly became Duke of Dayu. Just by his title, he already stood above countless powerful officials. Even ordinary princes must be treated politely when they see his status.

In addition to the promotion of title, he was also promoted from the position of Major General to General of Liangzhou Dutong. This is a real official position, ranking first-class!

He is an extremely human minister, on the same level as the Prime Minister. Except for a few people in the entire divine dynasty, no one who is currently in office can clearly surpass this young man in terms of official status.

And his title status is something that only a few of the older generation of the five great generals can touch.

"Duke?"

Li Hao was a little surprised. Although he knew he would be rewarded, he didn't expect to skip the Marquis directly.

The "Nine Uncles" who rescued Cangzhou were not inferior to him in terms of merits. It was just that the demonic forces that brought disaster to Cangzhou were not as numerous and powerful at that time. However, there was manipulation from the vassal country behind the scenes, so he was killed.

Arriving at the royal court outside the Pass also led to his own downfall.

"No gift."

Seeing that the other party was always hunched and bowing, Li Hao said immediately.

The veteran of the Xia family raised his head and said excitedly: "Your Excellency, you are here. We, the people of Liyang City, are saved. Thank you for your help. On behalf of the people of Liyang City, I would like to thank the Duke for your great kindness!"

After saying that, he had to kneel down.

Previously, Liyang City had been besieged for many days, and people were in panic. Everyone in the city had already smelled the smell of being massacred by demons, but now, as if the clouds were clearing and the sun appeared, all the gloom suddenly disappeared.

Li Hao raised his hand and said: "It's just a casual thing, no need to be so polite. If you really want to thank me, see if there are any famous paintings or chess records in your city, and collect some for me."

The veteran of the Xia family was surprised, but he had also heard that in addition to martial arts, the young man seemed to be proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was good at both civil and military arts. He sighed with emotion in his heart, and quickly smiled and said:

"Of course they are all there, I'll let them look for them."

With that said, he ordered people to open the city gate and invite Li Hao in.

At the same time, several other young major generals flew over.

The veteran of the Xia family quickly told them about the murder of the demon outside the city. When they learned that it was the young man in front of them and the identity of Li Hao, they were all stunned and looked at the young man in shock.

"Really him?"

Among the several major generals, a female general looked at the young man blankly, and her thoughts suddenly turned to the Qizhou official road two years ago.

At that time, she was deeply impressed by the young man sitting upright in the carriage. He was guarding a city at the age of fourteen.

Soon after, I heard news about that young man again, and he became famous in Qingzhou.

Later, at the age of fifteen, he rescued Liangzhou and became famous all over the world.

"This is Xia Qingshuang, the genius of my Xia family."

"This is Xia Yucheng..."

The veteran general of the Xia family quickly introduced several young major generals of the Xia family to Li Hao, hoping to use this to connect them with Li Hao's network.

Although they all know the news that Li Hao betrayed the Li family, the young man's fame no longer needs the Divine General's Mansion to build a reputation for him. He is famous himself.

Now, the Duke, who is less than sixteen years old, is a very popular minister and can kill the demon king. No one wants to offend him.

When the senior generals of the Xia family were introduced, these major generals of the Xia family were forced to bow and salute because of Li Hao's title and official position. They were shocked and excited, but also felt a little embarrassed.

After all, they are the darlings of the Xia family, and the young man in front of them is from the Li family. They are both of the younger generation. They are seven or eight years older than the other party, or even ten years old. When they see the other party, they have to bow their heads and salute, which makes them feel that they are carrying

Xia Jiarongguang seemed to bend down as well.

However, although the five great generals guard each side separately, their official positions and titles are unified in the dynasty. Li Hao will be treated as a distinguished guest wherever he goes. They dare not be disrespectful, otherwise it will not be Li Hao who will be disobedient, but his majesty.

, it is also the law and discipline of the dynasty for thousands of years.

Li Hao was riding on the horse and just nodded slightly, which was regarded as saying hello.

Everyone greeted Li Hao politely and took him to the city lord's mansion.

In the palace, the two young major generals looked at each other with awkward expressions.

Earlier in the meeting hall, they were firmly opposed to pulling the tiger skin coat of the boy's war flag, questioning its lack of deterrence. This move also embarrassed the Xia family. As a result, the real master arrived in the blink of an eye, and was still right in front of them. They couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Guilty.

"General Haotian, how did you kill those three immortal realm monsters? We didn't even see you take action..."

Xia Yuanming asked curiously.

Previously, he was the one who was most opposed to using Li Hao's battle flag, but now that he saw the real owner, he felt a little frightened. After all, the deeds of that young man who killed seven demon kings in a row were obvious to all and could not be faked.

After hearing his words, Xia Qingshuang also stared at Li Hao.

She still remembered that when she was guarding Qizhou, it was rumored that the young man was already in the Fifteen Miles Realm.

It’s only been two years now…

"You don't have enough realm, and you won't understand even if I tell you."

Li Hao said to this young man calmly and without any intention of ridicule.

When Xia Yuanming heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and a little bit ashamed, but when he thought that the other party had rescued Liyang City after all, he didn't take it to heart, but he stopped flattering him angrily.

However, the veteran of the Xia family felt that Li Hao's answer was normal and looked at Xia Yuanming with some reproach. The attack method was a secret of martial arts. This was a bit presumptuous to ask.

"General, it was previously rumored that you were being chased by the demon king in the Taixu Realm. Did you just escape?"

He changed the subject and asked politely.

During this period, countless people's eyes were focused on the Ming River outside Liangzhou, but there was no movement there. Unexpectedly, the person they were waiting for suddenly appeared in Youzhou.

"That's right."

Li Hao responded and immediately asked him about Liangzhou.

Although I knew something about it from the waiter in the shop before, now that I was facing the general of the Xia family, the information I had was completely different.

After understanding the situation, Li Hao felt completely relieved. Liangzhou was indeed at peace.

However, although Liangzhou was peaceful, wars broke out in other states of Dayu.
To be continued...
