Emperor Yu picked up the tea and took a sip. The taste was good. Although it was not as good as the Yunwu tea specially provided by the imperial palace, it had the sweetness of the mountains and fields.

"You can see clearly." Emperor Yu chuckled.

"I'm used to the world now, and my mind is at ease everywhere." Li Hao said with a casual smile.

Poetry experience +66.

Emperor Yu was stunned for a moment and glanced at Li Hao. Thinking of the young man's situation, his eyes flickered slightly.

"No wonder those stubborn old men in Hanlin Hall like you so much."

He seemed to sigh and sigh again.

Li Hao was a little surprised. Isn't the Hanlin Hall a place for literati? He didn't seem to have much interaction with them.

"Come on, let me see if your chess skills have improved. Don't just pretend."

Emperor Yu lifted up his clothes and sat on the futon, saying half-jokingly.

When Li Hao saw this, he also sat upright. He knew that this majesty was not just here to play chess, but his visit had also brought the answer that Li Hao was waiting for.

But the answer was deeper and heavier than he expected.

This made him feel a little ashamed.

Putting away the scattered pieces on the chessboard, the two slowly made moves.

Li Hao holds the white title.

"Don't give in to me, I don't need anyone to give in." Yuhuang Nianzi said.

Li Hao nodded: "I dare not give in."

Soon, on the chessboard, White's attack was fierce, and he quickly seized the main attack. The layout was impregnable, and Black could only retreat steadily, and was surrounded by White, unable to break free.

"You kid..."

Emperor Yu grinned slightly, "What a boy, you really won't let me go if you say you won't."

Li Hao coughed lightly, as if he was taking it too seriously. He is now at the sixth level of chess. Although he is just at the sixth level and has not yet reached full experience, he could easily defeat his majesty at the fifth level.

"Come again."

Emperor Yu obviously refused to admit defeat. In other words, since he ascended the throne as emperor, he had never experienced losing... except for playing chess with Li Hao.

After three consecutive games, Li Hao still chose to let his Majesty have some fun, rather than crushing him.

Soon, Emperor Yu's chess addiction was cured.

So during the fourth game of chess, Emperor Yu's expression was no longer so serious and focused. While making his move, he said casually:

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of killing Lord Buddha?"

Li Hao was also able to play chess with ease. When he saw the old man talking about business, his expression calmed down slightly and he said:

"Thought about it."

"Oh? Then what do you think?"

Emperor Yu paused and looked at Li Hao with interest.

"I think senior may have a headache and cause trouble for you." Li Hao sighed.

Emperor Yu was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Then what do you think I will do?"

Li Hao shook his head slightly: "I didn't think about it carefully."

"Didn't you think about it?"

"Well, no matter how it is handled, I will accept it calmly."

When Li Hao said this, he added: "As long as you don't take my life."

"..."

Emperor Yu stared at the serious look of this young man for two seconds, and said with some confusion:

"You are at ease. Aren't you afraid that Buddhism will put pressure on me, and in order to appease public anger and deprive you of your fame, are you taking back the third-class title you finally obtained?"

"If that's all it is, then killing this Lord Buddha is still worth it."

Li Hao said.

Emperor Yu was dumbfounded and said angrily: "You are really willing to give up."

"Abandon the love and moon of one day, and gain the sky of eternity."

Li Hao smiled: "I came here alone, so there is nothing I can't bear to part with. I have wine, meat and friends, that's enough."

Poetry experience +166.

"This is what Zen Buddhism says. If the Buddha master can understand, maybe he won't be killed by you." Emperor Yu shook his head and sighed.

"Maybe he hasn't practiced enough yet," Li Hao said.

Emperor Yu glanced at him, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

After he finished laughing, Emperor Yu said to Li Hao: "If I take back your title, will you blame me?"

Li Hao shook his head and silently said, "How could it be possible? This is a reward from seniors."

"But it's also earned through your hard work."

"Without this fame, I would have worked so hard." Li Hao said.

Emperor Yu glanced at him, with a smile on his lips, and lowered his head. When he stopped, he saw that Li Hao had made a move earlier, blocking his other path.

This brat... Emperor Yu was a little annoyed. When it came to business, this brat actually had the intention to play tricks on the chessboard.

No more!

Emperor Yu threw the black pieces he had picked up into the chess box, waving his sleeves and saying:

"Let's get down to business. I should also thank you. Lord Buddha has been possessed by the devil for a long time. Your move can be regarded as eliminating hidden dangers for Dayu."

Li Hao was startled and asked in surprise: "Senior, do you know that Lord Buddha's avatar is Mara?"

Emperor Yu nodded slightly and looked at Li Hao: "It seems you also know why you didn't tell me just now?"

"Forgot." Li Hao coughed lightly.

Emperor Yu curled his lips slightly but his eyes were deep, as if something was shaking.

Forgot something? This kid is obviously worried that telling him will make it more difficult for him to deal with this matter...

"You..."

Emperor Yu shook his head slightly and said: "This time the remnants of Buddhism are putting pressure on me to deprive you of your title. There are probably demons behind this, trying to divide us and take advantage of the situation."

"Now there is a way, which is to temporarily aggrieve you. I will tell the world that your reputation will be abolished and you will be imprisoned to pretend to break up."

"This will attract demons to counterattack, waiting for Buddhism to cause chaos, and turn passivity into initiative."

Li Hao listened quietly and nodded slightly. This is indeed a good idea.

"But in this case, you have to fake it, and you will suffer a lot." Emperor Yu looked at Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded: "Okay."

Emperor Yu stared at him and said, "How do you need me to compensate you afterwards?"

"compensate?"

Li Hao thought for a while and said: "If possible, give me some calligraphy and paintings, piano scores, or chess scores of famous teachers for me to admire, as well as recipes..."

He counted on his fingers.

"..."

Emperor Yu was silent.

Calligraphy and painting? Music scores? Chess scores... what kind of junk are these?

To a wealthy businessman, it might be valuable, but to Li Hao's level of strength, money, power, etc. are all easily accessible.

These things... can only be regarded as garbage.

"Apart from these, don't you want anything else?" Emperor Yu looked at him intently.

Li Hao thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "It's gone for the time being."

When Emperor Yu saw this, he looked at him deeply, said nothing, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should go back."

"I'll see you off." Li Hao said quickly.

"Need not."

Emperor Yu glanced at Feng Boping in the courtyard, his eyes moved slightly, and said: "He is the thief saint, right? It seems that he knows a lot of the Buddha's secrets, and was manipulated by the Buddha. Is this a lack of soul?"

Li Hao whispered: "That's right."

Emperor Yu patted Li Hao on the shoulder and said: "I'll tell the Wang family later. They are in charge of the world's Minghe River. As long as they are within the territory of Dayu, they can basically be found. Let's see if we can find him then."

If you can find the dead river where the missing soul is, try to clear the level again."
To be continued...
