The Master of Cultivation rises up

Congratulations on having a baby.Now I just hope that Xiao'er and Chao'er will bring their daughter-in-law in as soon as possible. "

Hearing what Gongsun Qingxi said, Liu Qianran slapped Li Chao's back with such strength that Li Chao once wondered if he was Liu Qianran's biological son: "You bastard, do you hear me? The daughter-in-law comes in and gives birth to a few fat boys, so that the old lady can enjoy herself."

Li Chao is full of black lines, feeling that your son and grandson are just an entertainment tool, the kind that carries random switches.Li Chao felt ashamed, and silently swallowed his complaints.Your son is doomed to disappoint you. There is no daughter-in-law, but there is one son-in-law who doesn't have a single character. Do you want to meet him?As for the grandson, you just have to ask your elder brother to work harder.

"Why, do you have an opinion?" Liu Qianran saw that her son did not speak, and knew that this kid was arguing with her, and the knife swished at Li Chao's body, with the tendency to stab him into a hole.Li Chaotai knew his mother too well, if he said this, his mother would slap him to the barracks, ignore the eyes and knives, and shift her attention to the little Li Cheng who had just entered the door with a sneer.

"Little Li Cheng, be good, come to little uncle." Li Chao coaxed with a rare smile, and the latter immediately vigilantly protected the lotus leaf cake in his hand.

"Little uncle, what bad idea are you planning? Hmph, these are for mother to eat, you are not allowed to move."

Li Chao was so angry, it was really true today, he didn't give himself any face.Humph, brother, don't think I didn't see you sniggering.Li Chao gritted his teeth and decided not to be as knowledgeable as this group of people.

After eating, Li Huaiyang and Li Chao moved to the living room to chat, Li Cheng nestled in Li Chao's arms, quietly and without making a fuss.When talking about the refugees outside the Eastern Capital, Li Huaiyang, who had been smiling all the time, couldn't help frowning.

"Brother, what's the problem?"

"Have you heard about what happened the day before yesterday?"

"Brother is talking about the refugee riots, which were suppressed by Habayashi guard?"

Li Huaiyang nodded and continued: "I'm afraid you only know one thing and don't know the other. I'm afraid someone deliberately provoked this homeless riot."

"Do you have a clue?" Li Chao asked hurriedly.

Li Huaiyang shook his head, his face full of helplessness. "Even if we have a clue, this is not the time for a thorough investigation. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter, the resettlement of the refugees is imminent. If not, once the plague occurs, not only the refugees, but the entire Dongdu will be implicated. Brother Wei is now working in the household department, if even I can't do this well, I'm afraid that the official position will not be guaranteed. But your uncle entered the palace again because of the war, and I don't know when he will return. Brother knows that you have a plan, what good plan do you have?"

Li Chao asked, "Didn't elder brother already have an idea?"

"I can't hide anything from you." Li Huaiyang smiled and told Li Chaoting about his plan. "It's nothing more than setting up tents, donating clothes, porridge, and donating medicines to prevent the epidemic. Alas, it's easy to say. Now that the government is focusing on the war, how can it find manpower to do these things?"

"It's simple. There are many ministers in the court, and there are countless servants and guards. Officials above the fourth rank send ten servants to guard ten people from each household, and below the fourth rank, each household has five servants to guard five people. In this way... Wait, I know what your big brother is planning, you are really obscene, you and my brother, just say no, do you need to set me up."

The honest-looking black-bellied man smiled, and was not embarrassed when his intentions were exposed. He just said: "No one in Dongdu knows that those boys are your precious lumps. Give me a word, do you want to borrow it?"

"Brother didn't hesitate to set me up because of those boys. How can a younger brother hide it? But first, those guys are not so easy to discipline. I don't care what happens."

"Okay, okay, as a brother, I will replace wine with tea, and thank you for your generous help on behalf of the three thousand refugees outside the city." The cups touched each other, and the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

What the two brothers said was nothing else but the Tiance Army created by Li Chao.

At the age of ten, with the assistance of the system, Li Chao narrowly defeated Li Daoan with only half a move, and has since become the No. 1 spear in the Li family.Li Daoan didn't want to lose face in front of his wife and children, so he decided to block Li Chao's mouth with any request, so Li Chao proposed to form his own army. To commemorate his previous life, Li Chao named the army Tiance.

The sun sets over the long river in the eastern capital, and iron horses guard the general's grave.

Do your best to kill Xiao Xiaotian's strategy, and keep the spear alone to guard the soul of the immortal court.

This was originally a poem describing Tiance in Jisanzhong, and the last sentence of the Tang Dynasty was changed to Xian Dynasty. In Li Chao's view, this is probably the only evidence that can prove his previous life.System, he can't tell others, he can only use this method to commemorate with other people, and also use this method to inform possible fellow villagers that I am here.

There are a total of 100 people in the Tiance Army, all of whom are fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys. They are all talented and defiant. They originally looked down on Li Chao, who was so much younger than themselves, and provoked everywhere in the early days of formation.However, after experiencing that no matter whether they were singled out, group fights, or secretly tripping, they couldn't hurt them at all, and they were repaired miserably by Li Chao. These 100 people can be said to be submissive to Li Chao. Dare to touch the chicken.

Of course, Li Chao's tightness to Tiance Army's treasures is different from Li's iron cavalry. These people are all his people and only obey his orders. Li Chao is very protective of his loyal friends.If Li Huaiyang hadn't asked for a loan today, Li Chao wouldn't have agreed.

Li Cheng, who was nestled in Li Chao's arms, asked out of the blue: "Little uncle, what is a refugee?"

Li Huaiyang paused while drinking tea, and answered the question instead of Li Chao: "Refugees, they are a group... people who need help."

A hot-blooded boy doing his best

It was dawn, and the refugees outside the Eastern Capital were awakened by a sound of uniform hooves.

The familiar refugees leaned together tremblingly, looking at the group of young soldiers in battle armor in horror, the men protected the women, and the women protected the elderly and children, all of them looked wary.

They fled thousands of miles to Dongdu, just to survive.Thirty thousand refugees traveled long distances and left their homes, leaving less than three thousand in the end.They have nowhere to go, and whoever dares to cut off their way of life, they will drag that person to be buried with them.

The old man with white hair and beard tremblingly walked to the front with the support of others. He was old and had more knowledge and experience than others. Even if there were any disasters, he would bear them all.Anyway, he was half buried in the ground, so it is not a pity to die.

"Military masters, is there anything you can do for the little old man?"

All the young soldiers did not answer, pulling the reins to drive the mounts out of the way, the handsome young man with a jade face rode out on a black steed, the silver spear locked by red tassels was behind his back, and the fine steel red armor was tightly attached to his body, It highlights the slender figure of the young man.When he was more than ten meters away from the old man, the young man jumped off the horse and walked slowly to the old man while holding the rein.

The refugees live temporarily in the woods, and the leaves and bark have been eaten a lot.The eyes are full of scars, messy and tattered things are piled up randomly, it looks like a garbage dump.In the half-shattered porcelain bowl, there was half a dry steamed bun left. You could already see the black spots on it, and there were even flies flying around. Even so, it was held in the hands of a six or seven-year-old doll like a treasure. arms, for fear of falling.

The ragged clothes can't cover the body, and they hang dirty on people's bony bodies, and the broken places reveal clearly visible bone marks, which are marks that only appear when they are thin and weak.The refugees' eyes were dull, or their expressions were numb. They were almost lifeless like walking dead. It was hard to imagine what kind of hardships such a group of people could go through to come to the Eastern Capital from the west. Become like this?

Li Chao sighed and stood still in front of the old man.

"Old man, I'm here to help. Mr. Li Huaiyang from the household department is rushing here with the military funds he raised. It will take half a day at most. I will go ahead and report to the old man. By the way, let everyone tidy up the place and prepare to set up tents." The boy's voice was clear and bright, with a taste unique to this age, although he was young, he gave everyone a more convincing feeling.

"Boys, start working!"

With the boy's clear whistle, the bright red Tiance banner rose against the wind, fluttering in the wind.Under the banner, a hundred teenagers worked in an orderly manner. An iron pot was set up together, bags of rice were unloaded from the truck, firewood was chopped, and water was washed to wash the rice. In less than a stick of incense, the Eastern Capital City The tempting fragrance of rice floated in the sky outside.

The white-haired old man sucked his nose hard and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.Li Chao, who had just picked up a load of firewood, walked up to the other party, and said with a smile: "Old man, don't be in a daze, let everyone come to get the porridge, and you will have the strength to work after you are full."

The old man held Li Chao's hands tightly, with tears in his eyes, he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say a complete sentence, he just kept shaking Li Chao's hand.At the end, the old man bowed deeply to Li Chao, his voice choked with sobs.

"Little old man, little old man... On behalf of these three thousand fathers and fellow villagers, thank you, young master."

Li Chao's eyes were reddened by this bow, he just raised his hand, how could He De bear the old man's deep bow!He hurriedly picked up the old man with both hands.

"Old man, you are a brat."

Li Chao helped the old man to the next tree, scooped up a bowl of hot and fragrant rice porridge and delivered it to the old man.

"Old man, eat while it's hot."

Unexpectedly, the old man was unwilling to start, and he didn't start slowly until he confirmed that everyone was holding rice bowls full of rice porridge.Even though the porridge was a bit cold at this time, the old man still ate with relish, and while eating, he moved his nose, trying not to let tears flow out.

After so many days, he can finally have another bite of food, and finally, he won't die here!However, the sadness burst out irrepressibly.His son, daughter-in-law, and young grandson failed to make it to this time, and all died of illness and starvation on the way to escape.Thinking of his grandson's thin and small appearance before he died, the old man couldn't help crying.

Bao'er, grandpa, grandpa is useless!grandfather……

There are not a few people who have the same thoughts as the old man, and sad emotions permeate the surroundings.Without experiencing the helplessness of being away from home, without suffering the suffering of birth, old age, sickness and death, this group of teenagers who are in the blooming rainy season cannot understand their feelings.Li Chao gestured silently, and the teenagers all retreated silently.

They retreated outside the woods, and neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was rare and oppressive.

The wheels of the car turned, and the noisy voices came from far to near. Li Huaiyang rushed here with most of the military resources.Little Li Cheng sat in the front carriage, jumped up and down, and waved his hands excitedly when he saw Li Chao.

"Little uncle, little uncle!"

Before the carriage came to a complete stop, Li Cheng was about to jump down, so Li Chao had quick eyesight and hugged him in time to prevent him from falling off. "How did you come?"

Li Huaiyang poked his head out from the carriage, and said sourly: "The little guy has been arguing to find you, and he doesn't eat any food. I have no choice but to bring him here. Those who don't know think he is your son!"

"I can't bear such a big son. Well, nothing happened on the way?"

"There was a small situation, but with the help of noble people, it was resolved smoothly." Li Huaiyang blinked mysteriously.

"My lord, who is it?" Li Chao's eyes lit up, could it be?

"Chao'er!"

"Chao'er!"

Two voices came from a man and a woman, and the familiar voice made Li Chaoxi frowned. Sure enough, he guessed right, Li Xiao and Li Mian are back!Li Chao jumped up and down on the spot, and after a while, two unusually familiar figures appeared beside him at the same time.

"Brother! Second Sister! Why are you back? Didn't you say it will take another month? How come so soon?"

"The Shimen made a temporary decision, so one month in advance, how is it, are you okay?" The 17-year-old Li Xiao looks exactly like his father, Li Daoan, and he doesn't know how Mo Xifeng trained Li Xiao to make him perfect. He was dark and strong, standing in front of Li Chao, he looked like a small hill.His strong chest was covered with strange black coat of arms, criss-crossing, and there were a few more than the last time I saw him.The martial arts of Hongchen's lineage are quite special. They use their own blood to stimulate their own potential, and use more palm and sword techniques. The denser the coat of arms on the body, the higher the cultivation level.Without systematic observation, Li Chao also knew that his elder brother's cultivation base had improved a lot.

"Good boy, he has grown a lot taller! If this continues, he will almost catch up with your sister and me." Li Mian, like his mother Liu Qianran, a bold and strange girl, patted Li Chao's shoulder with a palm, and Li Chao gritted his teeth in pain. grin.

"Hey, my good sister, didn't you learn the art of dancing and music? Why are you still working so hard? If this goes on, it will be strange if someone marries you!" Li Chao didn't dare to fight Li Mian, he could only talk Taking advantage, in exchange for another violent attack by Li Mian.Li Xiao giggled while watching.

"Hey, what is this?"

During the fight, Li Chao sharply saw a pair of small white velvet fans pinned to Li Mian's waist. When Li Mian was not paying attention, he took the sheep and put them in his hands to play with.

"Bring it here!" Seeing Li Chao jumping onto the tree, Li Mian stood with her waist pinched, without any ladylike demeanor.

"No, it's so hot, I have to fan it properly." Li Chao leaned on the tree trunk, and stretched out his hand to shake the fan with a smile, but suddenly there was a strong force from the fan, pulling Li Chao towards Li Mian. .Li Chao, who was falling, let go of his fan in a hurry, and when he was almost on the ground, he performed a little lightness kung fu so that he didn't fall out of the mud.

"I'll go, what the hell is that?" After standing still, Li Chao looked at Li Mian curiously, who proudly waved the small velvet fan in his hand to show off.

"This is one of the magic weapons of Tianxiang Tower, the snow return fan. It can improve my dance and music skills. With your small body, you still want to control your sister's baby. Hmph, go to sleep."

Li Xiao also chimed in: "Your elder sister is holding back the snow fan so tightly that no one will even let you see it."

"Cut, rare!" Li Chao felt uncomfortable if he didn't bicker with his sister for a while, and in Li Mian's words, he was mean-spirited.Sometimes she can't say no to Li Chao, and directly chooses to violently suppress. With the two of them, life will never be lonely. "Since you're here, let's help, there's a shortage of manpower." Li Chao ordered the two of them unceremoniously.

Li Xiao nodded, Li Mian fanned the wind, and said coolly: "It's good for you two brothers to do the rough work of moving things. I'm a weak woman, so I'd better pick up some light work to do."

"Weak girl? You?" Li Chao didn't remember to slap, and opened his mouth to express his complaints, and was slapped on the head by Queen Li Mian again.

"Stinky boy, I say yes!" Li Mian twisted Xiaoman's waist, and Ruoliu Fufeng walked towards the woods with slender steps, and then, with a click, his left foot tripped over his right foot and fell to the ground.Li Mian got up quickly and walked forward as if there was no one else around.

Li Chao: ...

How should he spit it out?

Li Chao obviously underestimated Li Mian's role.As Li Mian said, it is fine for the men to do the physical work, and she uses her best way to help the refugees.

The small velvet fan slowly unfolded, Li Mian raised his orchid finger, tapped the fan surface with his fingertips, and the dense and pure aura immediately rippled.The white fan half covered her face, her black hair fluttered lightly, and her soft clothes fluttered up and down in Li Mian's dancing steps, like a butterfly.The lotus steps moved lightly, the hem of the skirt bloomed into a huge beautiful flower, and the majestic aura swept over the sky, the silver bells on the wrists and ankles jingled, with a clear rhythm, and the bodies of the refugees involuntarily swayed gently following the ringing, withered. His face returned to a trace of blood.

Li Chao, who was moving military supplies, sensed this aura, and only then did he understand what Li Mian was doing.She is using the dance and music techniques of Tianxiang Tower to heal the scars in the refugees' hearts and nourish their lifeless vitality with spiritual energy.The aura in the human world is thin, and to be able to summon such a majestic aura, apart from the magic weapon in Li Mian's hand, she is using her own aura.

After dancing, Li Mian was out of breath, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his face was a little pale.Li Chao looked distressed, and hurriedly took out a tube of Wulian Spring from the inventory, and handed it to Li Mian like a dog.

"Come on, Second Sister, drink some water."

"You have a conscience." It was not the first time for Li Mian to drink Wulian Spring, knowing that the water contained spiritual energy, so he was not polite to Li Chao, nor did he ask him where he got this good thing.Li Chao has a secret, this is something that Li's family members know, if he doesn't tell, they will naturally not ask.

After drinking Wulianquan, Li Mian's complexion improved a lot. "Let's go, let's get to work!" Li Mian patted Li Chao, and the siblings went there to help.

Mountain rain is coming

For Li Xiao and Li Mian's return home, the two wives of Li's family expressed 12 percent happiness. They were still dissatisfied with touching the two brothers and sisters from head to toe, and they held on to each other, asking questions all the time.How are you doing recently, how is your health, is there someone you like, and so on.

Li Chaole had to watch a good show, and watched with great interest while holding Li Cheng in his arms. After receiving countless help-seeking looks from his brothers and sisters, he couldn't bear it, so he spoke out to help.

"Mother, where is sister-in-law? Resting in the backyard?"

"Early this morning, the prince's mansion sent someone to spread the word, saying that the prince was very happy when he heard that he was going to have a grandson again, so he took your sister-in-law to stay for two days. So he will be back in two days."

Li Huaiyang who came back with them heard the news and hurriedly asked: "My lord entered the palace with my father, so my father has also returned to the mansion?"

"I asked for you earlier. Your father came back in the morning and sat with me for a while. He is so anxious, why don't you stay here for dinner?" Gongsun Qingxi blamed him for being heartless. If you have a father, you don't want your aunt .

Li Huaiyang smiled and hugged Li Cheng: "Come on, Cheng'er, go home with Dad to see your grandfather."

In the past, when I saw Li Jing'an, the little guy ran faster than anyone else, but today I don't know what's wrong, crying and clapping on Li Chao's body and not letting go, it's not like the usual fake crying, but real tears Cross flow, crying out of breath, only made the few women present feel distressed.

"Or, let Cheng'er stay here, there are so many of us looking after him. Ouch, look at those crying, I feel so distressed." Gongsun Qingxi was most distressed, with a worried expression on his face expression.

"It's okay, Auntie, I think he is afraid that his father will test his homework, so he will play tricks and don't want to go home. I just praised him for being sensible yesterday, but today he is showing his true colors. Alas, I can't always spoil him. As a man, you have to Dare to take responsibility, Li Cheng, if you cry again, father will throw you to the mountain to feed the tiger!"

"Aunts, Ah Xiao, Ah Mian, and Ah Chao, I will take my leave first."

Li Huaiyang picked up Li Cheng, ignored the little guy punching, kicking, scratching and biting him, and carried Li Cheng out of the house coldly.

"Qiu Gu, quickly send a carriage to take the man back, oh, what a crime!"

The little guy's heart-piercing cries drifted farther and farther away, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.I thought this matter would end here, but no one expected that this farewell, when we saw each other again, was already separated forever.Many years later, Li Chao would occasionally think of this scene. At that time, he thought, Li Cheng, he must have sensed something a long time ago. If at the beginning... Was it... Heh, what is most lacking in this world is if.

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, the stars were sparse and the clouds were sparse. In a manor on the outskirts of the Eastern Capital, there was silence.The courtyard was brightly lit, but unexpectedly, there was no one, not even the sound of insects.

The door of the room was gently pushed open, and the candlelight reflected the figure on the clean stone road. The young man walked out of the room with a jug of good wine.His figure flickered, and he jumped to the top of the small building in an instant.

The evening wind was in a hurry, blowing the young man's clothes, his black hair was blown to the side, and occasionally two of them touched his cheeks, which were numb, but the young man didn't move.After a long time, he bowed lightly towards the dark place on the side of the small building.

"Master, wine."

In the darkness, Lu Jiuxian's figure gradually faded away, his expression was not as jovial as usual, but rather serious.He carried a huge epee on his back, and a ferocious golden snake could be vaguely seen on the hilt, spitting out a letter fiercely.

"You already knew that, didn't you?"

Duanmu Jin's expression was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.His voice was unhurried, and he admitted calmly: "Yes."

"When?" After asking, Lu Jiuxian laughed at himself. "I'm confused. If I knew you were a smart person, you would have known it from the very beginning, when I accepted you as an apprentice?"

"Yes." Duanmu Jin replied truthfully.

"Being too smart may not be a good thing. Sometimes, it's rare to be confused." Lu Jiuxian caressed the wine pot on his waist with emotion, and rubbed his fingers lightly on it. "I was wondering, do you know that I am actually here to kill you today?"

The cloth rope tied to the epee drifted into the night with the wind, Lu Jiuxian held the sword in both hands, and the tip of the sword hit the tiles on the roof, making a crisp sound.

Duanmujin remained silent, he remained motionless, his figure gradually blending into the night.After a long time, he bent down and gently placed the wine jar in his hand on the roof of the building.

"I know, I know everything, I still know..." Duanmu Jin raised his voice, and a silver light shot out from his cuff, directly hitting Lu Jiuxian's face.

Lu Jiuxian didn't seem to expect that Duanmujin would strike first, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. The next second, Duanmujin performed his special skill "Sneak into the night with the wind", and his figure suddenly disappeared on the spot.A huge sense of crisis enveloped Lu Jiuxian!There was the sound of bones shattering beside his ears, his pupils shrank instantly, and after that, there was the sound of his body crashing to the ground.

"I know a lot, master!"

The night is like heavy snow, which can bury everything. When the sun rises, it is a new day.Everything outside the city was unknown last night. Everyone thought that the new day would be another normal day. They were doing what they usually do. No one could have imagined that after today, everything would become people. No.

After breakfast, Gongsun Qingxi was embroidering.She wanted to embroider a beautiful apron for the child in Duanmuqing's belly, and Liu Qianran sat at the side reading the military book, and the two chatted one after another.Suddenly, Liu Qianran felt dizzy for a while, and the military book in her hand fell to the ground.Before she could bend down to pick it up, she heard Gongsun Qingxi cry out in pain.She accidentally stabbed herself and was sucking her fingers in her mouth.On the goose-yellow embroidered cloth, a touch of blood is extremely dazzling.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just an accidental prick. Chao'er and the others have gone out?"

"I went out early in the morning, and said that the work of resettling the refugees was left to finish, and I could finish it in the afternoon."

"These guys have worked hard these two days, let the kitchen make some good dishes at night, and make up for them."

"It has been ordered to go down."

……

The resettlement of the refugees did not happen overnight. After Li Chao led the Tiance Army to build the tent, he helped spread lime nearby to prevent the plague. These were supposed to be Li Huaiyang's work, but for some reason, Li Huaiyang hadn't appeared in the past two days, nor did his uncle With the news of Li Cheng, Li Chao wondered whether he should visit Li's mansion after finishing work this afternoon.

At noon, Li Chao ate in the refugee camp.The three brothers and sisters were sitting together, Li Chao saw that Li Mian had a poor appetite, so he put down the food after two mouthfuls.

"What's the matter, second sister, are you uncomfortable?"

"Since the morning, I've been restless, always thinking that something will happen." Li Mian frowned, his eyes showing worry.

"What's the matter, second sister, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chaoteng stood up and stared fixedly into the distance.Li Xiao and Li Mian looked back and saw Li Chao's personal servant Nan Ting galloping on horseback.

I don't know what he went through, but at this moment, his clothes are messy, his face is ashen, and the red eyes indicate that he has just cried.When he saw the three of Li Chao, he shouted from a distance, "Young Master, Young Master, hurry back to your home!" up and down.

Regardless of getting up from the ground, Nan Ting rushed to Li Chao's side with hands and feet, rolling and crawling, with a deep cry in his trembling voice.

"Young master, young master, hurry back to the mansion, Commander Li is back! Commander Li, with the general's gun, is back! The general, the general..."

"What's wrong with my father? Tell me quickly!" Kneeling in front of Nan Ting, he held onto Nan Ting's shoulder, wanting to tear apart.He vaguely had a bad answer in his mind, but he stubbornly refused to think about it.He knew that his hands were shaking, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, but he couldn't control it.No, definitely not, definitely not, definitely not what he thought.Li Chao heard the sound of himself swallowing saliva, and could even hear his heavy breathing clearly.

However, Nan Ting's next sentence sent Li Chao to hell.

"General, he... died in battle!"

Li Chaoru was struck by lightning, and his face lost all blood in an instant.He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.There were noisy people around, he heard the neighing of horses, he heard the loud questioning of his eldest brother and second sister, he heard the sound of cold wind blowing through the woods and rolling the leaves, everything was so clear, but everything was so unreal.

Only two words echoed in his mind.

Fight to the death!

die!die in battle?Who died?

The body is one step ahead of the mind, Li Chao can no longer think, his head is full of chaos, he leaps onto the horse's back instinctively, his fleshy palms slap on the horse's back unconsciously, the strength is so great that the war horse leaps three feet in pain , the numb Li Chao quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

It took only a third of the original time, Li Chao rushed back from Xiaoshulin to Duke Huguo's mansion, knocking over countless pedestrians on the way, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention at the moment.He only has one thought now, which is to hurry home, and stupid dad will jump out from the side with a smile, pick up his belt with a spear, and tell him it's just a joke.Just a, nasty, joke.

A piece of white, a dazzling white in the eyes, a white gate, a white person, and a white mourning hall.I don't know who was crying in his ear, his heart was broken, and he couldn't make a sound.Someone came to call his baby name, but he didn't realize it, his eyes were dull and he took steps, his legs were as heavy as lead.Who, who died?Li Chao's whole body was full of fear, he yelled to ask the servant to come over for questioning, but he opened his mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound.

The sound of the wooden fish in the mourning hall knocked on his heart one after another, and Li Chao's heart was broken after a series of rebirth spells. The cigarette smoke filled the air. Finally, Li Chao walked to the mourning hall and saw everything inside!

A spear stood alone in the mourning hall.That was Li Daoan, the fire dragon Liquan who never left his body.The gun is in the person, the gun is destroyed, and the person dies!

His nightmare finally came true!

How many people fought in ancient times

Li Chao's legs went limp, and he collapsed in front of the mourning hall.

A servant came up to help him, and he struggled to shake off the opponent's hand, and walked into the mourning hall with weak steps.

Fire Dragon Liquan stood quietly in front of him, as always, there were still spots of dried blood on it, forming dark red blood clots, looking dirty.Li Daoan cherishes his precious long spear the most, and wished he could wipe it three times a day, how could he tolerate the dirt on it?There are no bones, so naturally there is no coffin, just put a set of battle armor he usually wears, and there are holes on it that Li Chao burned when he was naughty when he was a child. After being beaten by Li Daoan, Li Chao stitched it up A patch, obviously extremely ugly, but Li Daoan stubbornly wore it for many years.

The spear is still there, but the battle armor is still there, so why is the man carrying the spear and wearing the armor not here anymore?Obviously he still remembers, when they first met, a long spear swept across, and his mighty figure stood in front of the two of them, beheading dozens of men in black; He still remembers that the man taught him how to hold the gun and how to make moves; he still remembers that the man used the gun in front of him to pick up his belt and lift him up high. Together, the two of them laughed happily all over the barracks... He remembered all these, but why was the person he should remember the most not here anymore?

Li Xiao came back, Li Mian also came back, everyone was crying, sad, painful, heart-piercing, but Li Chao had no tears.He heard himself asking, his voice unusually calm.

"Why are you all crying? Isn't dad here? He still has his gun and armor. Let's wait a little longer. Wait a little longer, and dad will come out and laugh at you, a bunch of idiots." Li Chao was laughing, laughing. Smiling, he felt something slipping from his cheek, Li Chao raised his hand blankly, and the cold liquid dripped on the palm of his hand.This is, tears?Li Chao stroked his cheek unconsciously, only then did he realize that tears were streaming down his face.

Someone took him into their arms and cried and called him by his baby name over and over again.Obviously the other party's embrace was very warm, but Li Chao was shivering from the cold.He couldn't feel anything but cold.He blinked blankly, and cold tears flooded the other side's skirt.

Is he dead?If not, why does he feel nothing, no heartache, no sadness, except for the boundless coldness, his world is pale, empty and terrifying.

Li Daoan, did you also go to such a place?

Li Chao didn't know, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.When he woke up again, he was lying on his own bed, Li Xiao was guarding the head of the bed, sobbing softly, his eyes were already swollen from crying, like walnuts.He noticed the movement on the bed, hurriedly stopped crying, and looked at Li Chao nervously.

Before Niang and Erniang entered the palace, if Ah Chao didn't take the initiative to mention it, he must try to avoid mentioning his father's death as much as possible, and try not to cry in front of Li Chao, so as not to irritate Li Chao again.Li Chao's sudden coma at noon really frightened the whole family.Dad has passed away, so he can't let his only brother have any good or bad.

Li Chaoting didn't move on the bed, his eyes were fixed on the bed curtain above his head, he didn't cry, he just stood upright like a zombie, Li Xiao looked scared, and called him softly, "Brother, brother?"

"Brother, I'm fine." Just when Li Xiao thought the other party would not respond, Li Chao replied calmly, and then he asked Li Xiao, "Father, really?"

"...Yes." Li Xiao responded with a faint cry, but he was afraid that if he cried, Li Chaodai would collapse, so he bit his lower lip. "Commander Li desperately brought back the news, the emperor also issued an imperial decree, father, he is really... gone." Li Xiao didn't dare to say the word death, that word was too unfamiliar to him, and too scary.For the first time in his 17 years of life, he realized something that was forever, something that could never be turned back.

Li Chao suddenly clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, took in a breath tremblingly, and exhaled.He sat up slowly, hiding his bleeding fist behind his back.

"Brother..." Li Xiao saw that Li Chao closed his eyes, his chest heaved, and let out a long breath.Then, he opened his eyes, his eyes were calm and unwavering, the black pupils reflected Li Xiao's appearance, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

"Let's go, brother, we are sons, we should see father off!" The last two words almost exhausted all Li Chao's strength, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and couldn't believe that Li Daoan just left their orphans and widows behind. , Without even saying goodbye, he left this world.How can he!How dare he!

The Palace of the Protectorate is covered with white, and lifeless white is everywhere.The servants in mourning clothes may have real or fake sad faces, bowed their heads and walked in a hurry. When they saw Li Xiao and Li Chao brothers, they saluted silently, and then left in a hurry.They have too many things to do, the funeral is the most tiring ceremony.

It was already evening at this time, and there was a drizzle of rain in the sky, hitting the huge banana leaves in the courtyard with a crackling sound.The evening wind swept into the corridor with drizzle, and Li Chao felt a chill, and couldn't help shivering.Seeing Li Xiao, he wanted to call his servants to bring Li Chao a cloak, but Li Chao refused.

"Brother, no need, I can hold on."

The two walked to the mourning hall in the front yard. The butler in mourning was ordering his servants to do things. When he saw the two brothers coming, he stepped forward to greet them one by one.

"Butler Li, where's Xiaofu?"

"In the mourning hall, young master..." Li Li answered subconsciously, he wanted to say something else, Li Chao had already brought Li Xiao into the mourning hall, dressed in white filial piety clothes, tied a hemp rope around his waist, and knelt straight in front of the mourning hall.Seeing this, Li Li hurriedly followed
