The Name of Eternity

Chapter 15 Defeat

Yanbei border, Yuanyue City.

The city was gloomy and bleak, and the ground outside the city was devastated and bumpy. In a mountain forest a hundred miles away, there were huge figures of various shapes lurking here, with many demonic shadows, and some slender figures with human appearance, sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain.

The ground here was stained with blood, and corpses were like firewood forests, and bloody skin was like rags, hanging casually on branches and stones.

At this time, a beautiful young woman was holding another arm covered with military armor in her hand, chewing her fingers, and her lips and cheeks were stained with blood, but she didn't care.

Suddenly, a small black dot rushed over from the sky, and when it got closer, it was discovered that it was a three-clawed black bird with a body length of more than ten meters.

It shrank its body, and when it landed, it had transformed into a handsome young man wearing a black scarf. He walked briskly towards the people sitting around, and then came to the young man in white clothes with a long harp on his knees.

The young man's fingers gently plucked the strings of the harp, emitting lingering sound waves, but his eyes quietly looked into the distance, looking at the city that looked like a stinking stone.

There, it seemed that the dark clouds gathered over the city and the vague figures standing on the top of the city could still be seen faintly.

"Lord Bai."

The black-turbaned young man clasped his fists slightly, showing a respectful look on his face, and said to the young man in white: "I just got the news that the useless meat species sent earlier failed and alarmed the God General Mansion. Now the whole mansion is on alert. I heard that there are masters around the child who are secretly protecting him."

"This can fail? Useless thing!"

A burly and big man next to him had a gloomy face and grinned slightly, revealing sharp teeth that were not like human beings.

"Didn't they say they had sneaked up to the child?" The beautiful woman who was chewing on the arm frowned, stopped chewing, and looked at the black-turbaned boy.

"It's been half a month, his identity must not have been exposed, but he couldn't find a chance to attack after so long?"

Next to him, a young man with yellow eyebrows frowned and said, "In order to prevent the information from the God General's Mansion from being wrong, the Xing Wu Hou deliberately concealed the true situation of the child. We specially sent this Zhoutian Realm meat seed over. If we kill him with a punch at close range, even the tenth level of Tongli Realm will not be able to dodge it. Even if there are masters guarding him, he won't be able to react, right?"

The black-turbaned boy sighed and said, "The specific process is unknown. Who knew that thing was so useless."

"Humph, it didn't succeed and alarmed the God General's Mansion. If this news fell into the ears of Li Tiangang, he would definitely send more people to protect it. Damn it!" The burly man snorted again.

The black-turbaned youth nodded slightly: "If we want to assassinate him next, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. Since the meat seed has failed, there is no need to keep his family. Let the little guys below enjoy it."

"They have eaten it up a long time ago."

The beautiful woman bit off another finger and said while chewing.

The black-turbaned youth did not speak again, but looked at the young man in white who stopped playing the piano, with a hint of awe in his eyes: "Lord Bai, what should we do next? Should we attack head-on?"

The others also looked at each other, waiting for his orders.

Lord Bai's emotions did not seem to fluctuate too much. He stared at Yuanyue City in the distance and whispered: "This Li family is really a hard bone to chew. If we attack head-on, our losses will be too great."

"Yeah, those guys are unwilling to work hard, they are really bastards." The burly man said dissatisfiedly.

"Then do we still need to assassinate?" asked the black-turbaned youth.

Lord Bai turned his head and looked at him, saying, "What do you think?"

...

...

Since Li Hao was attacked, the guards of the God General's Mansion have become more strict.

He Jianlan dispatched the strong men from the inner courtyard to sit in the front courtyard and screened all the servants who entered the mansion within three years one by one.

This matter caused a lot of noise, but all the courtyards actively cooperated. After all, this assassination was too dangerous, and everyone was afraid that it would happen to their own children.

After tracing through the Li family's intelligence network, the assassination was actually related to the demons in Yanbei.

Li Hao found the aunt and wanted her to conceal the news of the assassination, not to spread it to Yanbei, not to spread it to the ears of the couple, so as not to mess up the battle on the front line.

Hearing Li Hao say this, He Jianlan was stunned and looked at Li Hao's little face. It seemed that something was grabbing her heart.

This child, who was almost assassinated and killed because of the war in Yanbei, was actually worried about affecting that side. It was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

However, the news of the assassination was too loud, and it was impossible to conceal it.

The news was received quickly at the border of Yanbei.

Xing Wuhou, who was thinking about the layout in the military camp, was furious, and Ji Qingqing was also furious. They saw through the thoughts of these demons at the first time, and wanted to use Li Hao's death to shake the morale of the army and let them leave the Yanbei battle temporarily.

Once they left, this side would inevitably face a thunderous attack.

Xing Wuhou could not abandon the battlefield here. While being angry, he sent his confidants back to the mansion that day to protect Li Hao.

News came from the mansion that the assassination was resolved by the people who secretly guarded Li Hao.

But Xing Wuhou knew that he did not send anyone to secretly guard Li Hao.

Shanheyuan has guards and is located in the God General Mansion. He never thought that someone would assassinate a child.

If Li Hao showed amazing martial arts talent, he would be concerned and secretly send people to take care of him to prevent the future pride of the Li family from dying in the cradle.

But a person without any talent in martial arts posed no threat, and even so, he was nearly killed.

And all of this is because of this damn impasse.

A few days later, on the battlefield of Yanbei, the Li family's military camp launched a thunderous attack and wiped out a group of monsters overnight. The news spread, making all monsters feel the anger of the Li family.

The days finally calmed down slowly.

Half a year has passed and Li Hao is seven years old.

The news of the assassination was already half a year ago, and no one in the house has mentioned it anymore.

The strong man sent back from the army by Marquis Xingwu has been with Li Hao for the past six months. He is a tall and tall middle-aged man, unsmiling and cautious in doing things, named Li Fu.

I heard that Li Fu was an abandoned baby many years ago and was adopted by the Li family. At that time, some people said that although this child had a tragic fate, he would be considered rich if he landed at the door of the Divine General's Mansion, so he took the surname Li and gave it a unique name. Name is blessing.

In his early years in this Shanhe Courtyard, Li Fu grew up with Marquis Xing Wu.

He is seven or eight years older than Marquis Xing Wu. On weekdays, he treats Marquis Xing Wu like a caring brother, but in the army, the two have a superior-subordinate relationship.

At the same time, Li Fu is also the right-hand man of Marquis Xing Wu and one of the most trustworthy people.

"Uncle Fu, you lost again."

In the pavilion, after the game of chess was over, Li Hao said with a smile.

Li Fu's serious face couldn't help but reveal a trace of helplessness: "Your father and I are the same generation, you should call me uncle."

"But calling me Uncle Fu is a bit like convincing someone to lose." Li Hao curled his lips and said, "When I play chess, I just want to win. I don't like to admit defeat."

Li Fu couldn't help but be speechless. Just because of this boring homophony, he was super promoted.

"You can also call me Uncle Li."

"But this is the Li family. There are too many people named Li. If I call them Uncle Li, I'm afraid you can't tell them apart." Li Hao said.

Li Fu was helpless again.

"If you ask me, Uncle Fu, you shouldn't be named Fu. Since you are said to be blessed...you should be called Li You."

Li Hao said seriously: "Look, the name Li You sounds so nice. You have it, you have it, you have everything, and the corresponding one is perfect!"

Li Fu wanted to slap his little head. Unlike Marquis Xing Wu who was strict and strict, his son was very slippery.

"Don't talk nonsense. If your father were here, he would definitely beat you up, big or small." Li Fu scolded with a straight face.

"He's not the problem." Li Hao said casually.

Li Fuzheng wanted to discipline him to prevent him from becoming more and more lawless, but when he heard these careless words, his heart seemed to tremble.

When Marquis Xingwu went on an expedition, he followed him. Naturally, he knew that Li Hao was seven years old this year, and the Marquis had also stayed in Yanbei for seven years.

The situation in Yanbei made it difficult for Ji Qingqing, who had accompanied him there to prepare for a quick victory, to come back and put her husband in danger.

The child in front of me must be sad without his parents by his side for seven years, right?

Li Fu felt a little distressed, but also softened his heart, and sighed: "Your father also has his difficulties, don't blame him."

"I didn't blame him." Li Hao said seriously.

Li Fu looked at his eyes, his heart warmed slightly, and he felt a little relieved, and said: "You are very sensible."

Are you sensible? Li Hao grinned.

At this moment, a half-grown figure returned to Shanhe Courtyard.

Li Hao turned around and saw that Bian Ruxue, who was practicing in the martial arts field, had returned.

Now the little girl has turned into a little girl, and her immature face cannot hide her beauty.

"Why are you back so early today? Are you hungry?" Li Hao smiled and waved.

Bian Ruxue saw Li Hao and walked over with the sword in her arms. Her expression looked a little gloomy and she just said: "I'm not hungry."

"Why, someone made you unhappy?" Li Hao joked.

Bian Ruxue gritted her teeth slightly, turned her head away with a stern face, and said nothing.

Li Hao asked casually, but when he saw this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"It's nothing." Bian Ruxue stood up and ran away with her sword in her arms, running to the place where she usually practiced swords.

Li Hao thought for a while, called the maid who accompanied her in sword practice, and asked, "What's wrong with Xue'er?"

"Reporting to the young master, Miss Xue'er was defeated in a swordsmanship duel at the martial arts arena." With Li Fu beside her, the waitress was still respectful even though she knew that the young master was a loser in martial arts.

"Just this little thing?"

Li Hao felt relieved and said: "Isn't it just a loss? Warriors, victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. It's enough to win again later. Why, she can't afford to lose?"

The waitress hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and said: "No, young master, the guy who defeated the young lady is more hateful. He scolded the young master in front of the young lady, so... the young lady is so angry."

"Ah?" Li Hao didn't expect that there was his own business involved. So, the little guy was fighting for himself?

Li Hao glanced at the distance. The little girl was already practicing her sword there, but she looked angry.

His eyes flickered slightly and he said to the waitress: "I understand, you can go down first."
