Chapter 267 Deposing the True Dragon(1/2)
Li Hao got up, cleaned up briefly, and took Zhuhuo Shen and Xi Yan to the residence of the Li family god general.
I came here this time to get my edict, official seal and other items.
I heard from the old man that the couple didn't want to give it away. In this case, he had to come and get it himself.
Standing in front of this majestic general's palace again, Li Hao raised his head slightly and stared at the huge gilded words. All kinds of memories of the past passed by quickly, but in the end, they all slowly sank to the bottom of his heart.
Upon hearing the news of Li Hao's arrival, there was an immediate sensation in the General's Mansion, and He Jianlan and others came to the door to greet him in person.
When Li Hao explained the reason, a trace of nervous expectation arose in the hearts of He Jianlan and others, but it was quickly shattered and dimmed.
He Jianlan invited Li Hao to the Changchun Courtyard, and as if he were a distinguished guest, Xuebai made tea for Li Hao in person, and then ordered someone to notify Li Tiangang of the Shanhe Courtyard and ask him to deliver Li Hao's things.
When they learned that Li Hao was coming, other ladies in the mansion also rushed over. They knew that it would be a long time before the young man said goodbye to him again, or even many years later...
The formerly quiet Changchun courtyard suddenly became lively.
The news was sent to Shanhe Courtyard. Li Tiangang, who had been sitting on his knees in the ancestral hall all night, had just returned to Shanhe Courtyard.
Last night, he planned to inspect the military situation in various places in Qingzhou after visiting his ancestors, but after entering the ancestral hall, he did not leave again.
He did not dare to conceal the inquiries of his ancestors and reported everything truthfully.
He did not defend himself, but gave an objective account. He also knew that he was indeed wrong in this matter. While explaining it, there was sadness and regret on his face.
After hearing this, many heroic ancestors of the Li family were shocked, angry, and finally sad.
They couldn't believe that such an evil genius of the Li family was actually forced out of the Li family by his biological parents.
In the dark night, angry roars were blocked outside the ancestral hall door.
One after another, the angry and angry curses were all hidden under the darkness of the night.
Only Li Qingzheng, who was sitting outside the ancestral hall, heard it, but he leaned with his back under the peach blossom tree that had just bloomed outside the ancestral hall square. A few peach petals fell under the tree, and beside him were several jars of wine brought back from Yunxia Tower.
.
Pour and drink by yourself.
He could clearly hear the angry curses of many ancestors in the ancestral hall behind him, but he did not feel relaxed, and even his mood had no fluctuations, like the surface of a dead lake.
He just looked at the bright moon and the lights in the courtyards of the Shenjiang Mansion illuminated by the bright moon. The warm lights were in sharp contrast to the darkness.
There are thousands of lights, but the most precious one is missing.
The wine poured from his mouth, but slowly seeped out from his eyes.
At this moment, Li Tiangang, who had just dragged his tired body back to Shanhe Courtyard, felt a pain in his heart when he saw his wife who was still sitting in the hall, looking haggard and looking like she had not slept all night.
But before he could sit down, he received news from Changchun Yuan.
When he learned that it was Li Hao who had come, he felt joyful in his heart. But when he learned that the other party was here to get the official seal and edict, the joy that had just risen in his heart was extinguished like cold water, and he was torn apart by waves of grief.
He went directly to Changchun Yuan.
When Ji Qingqing heard the news, her numb and empty eyes came back to reality as if she were frightened, and wet tears welled up in her already dry eyes.
She quickly stood up and flew straight into the air to chase after Changchun Courtyard.
In Changchun Courtyard, Li Yuanzhao, Li Wushuang and others rushed over after hearing the news. They looked at the young man surrounded by the elders. The scene seemed to be the same as usual, but they were more eager than usual.
Li Hao was laughing and chatting with He Jianlan and others, and they asked about Li Hao's future plans.
Li Hao just smiled and said that he planned to visit and walk everywhere in the future, see mountains and rivers, and see the scenery in various places.
Since he came to this world, he naturally wanted to look around to see if this world could satisfy him.
After hearing Li Hao's words, Li Xiaoran, who was sitting on another eaves outside the hall, had a slightly bitter taste in his mouth.
If that young man was still a member of the Li family, when he said these words, he could only feel nostalgic for the time when he was like this, when he was young and energetic, hiding his name, wandering around the mountains and rivers, and defeating all the major sects.
But he has a return date, travels through mountains and rivers, and finally has a hometown.
And wherever that young man settles, that is where he calls home.
The soft whispers in the hall were soon broken by two whistles. Li Tiangang and Ji Qingqing rushed over one after another and landed in the courtyard.
Li Xiaoran on the eaves, the bitter smile on his lips faded away.
The whispers in the hall seemed to have quieted down. Everyone's eyes fell on Li Tiangang. He Jianlan lowered her gaze slightly and saw that Li Tiangang's hand was empty. Her face changed slightly and she said:
"Tiangang, where are Haoer's things?"
Li Tiangang didn't seem to hear her words and walked straight into the hall. He seemed to only have eyes for the young man sitting upright.
The grief in his chest was like a burning fire or a carving knife, burning and stinging in his heart. He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said:
"What on earth do you have to do before you are willing to forgive me and your mother?"
Li Hao frowned slightly and said, "I said, we have nothing to do with each other. Don't think of yourself as my parents anymore. Please respect yourself."
"Your mother has no choice. Is it possible that you want me to give you my life now?!"
Li Tiangang gritted his teeth and said.
Li Hao's brows furrowed a little deeper, and his eyes became a little colder:
"I said, the past is past. From now on, mountains will be mountains and seas will be seas. You will be you and I will be me. Am I not clear enough?"
"Do you know how much we are suffering these days? My mother sheds tears every day and regrets day and night. We are also in pain!"
Li Tiangang's eyes were red, and under his thick eyebrows, anger welled up in his sad eyes.
"..."
Li Hao looked at him quietly and understood again that this man was the same as before, never changed, even though he was regretful and sad, he still never listened to his words.
But fortunately, now he has no trouble with it.
Since he couldn't listen, there was no need to say anything more. He picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip.
He Jianlan saw that the atmosphere was deadlocked again, but she was a little excited. She stood up and said: "Tiangang, why are you here talking about this? No matter how painful you are, can Haoer suffer as much? He almost died several times!"
Li Tiangang's face changed and his eyes were sad, "But what can we do?"
He Jianlan gritted his teeth and said, "Hao'er didn't make it clear enough. He has nothing to do with you anymore. He is here to get the glory that belongs to him. That is his contribution to Liangzhou. Have you brought it?!"
Hearing the sister-in-law's harsh words, Li Tiangang's heart trembled, and the grief in his eyes deepened.
He looked up at He Jianlan, then at Li Hao who was drinking tea and no longer speaking, gritted his teeth and said:
"Since you have cut off your bloodline and let go of the past, why are you still here?"
Li Hao put down his teacup, his expression as calm as water, and said:
"Just because I let it go, I'm here."
After saying these words, He Jianlan and others felt pain in their hearts, knowing that this young man had really let go.
But this also made them seem even more distant from this young man.
Li Tiangang looked ugly and said, "Do you want me to beg you? Then can I beg you in public now? Can I beg you to come back?"
He Jianlan changed color and said angrily: "Are you asking for help?"
Li Hao shook his head slightly to signal He Jianlan not to be angry. He turned to look at Li Tiangang seriously and said:
"Stop pestering me. Aren't you abiding by the law? I have nothing to do with the Li family anymore. What do you mean by privately detaining my official seal and edict?"
Li Tiangang's face was ugly, and his mood was extremely complicated. He could analyze things on the battlefield in detail, but these household matters made him a mess.
He only knew in his heart that if he handed that thing to Li Hao, it would be completely broken.
"child……"
Ji Qingqing stepped forward with tears on her face and wanted to pray.
But when Li Hao saw her pear blossoms with rain, his brows furrowed, and he stood up and said, "Well, since it's okay if you don't give it, then I don't want it."
After saying that, he turned to look at He Jianlan and others, looked around, and then bowed and saluted:
"Junior Haotian, farewell to all seniors, thank you for your care in the past, and we will meet again in the future if we have the chance."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to He Jianlan again, then directly bypassed Li Tiangang and his wife in the hall and walked outside.
"Stop!"
Li Tiangang said hurriedly.
"Hao'er!"
Ji Qingqing chased after him sadly, but was blocked by a force, which was Li Hao's realm.
Li Hao's footsteps didn't stop until he looked at a rickety figure at the door.
The cold look that had just remained on his face suddenly softened, and he whispered:
"Uncle Zhao, why didn't you come last night? I was waiting to toast you."
When Butler Zhao at the door heard this, he lowered his head and wiped away his tears, and said with a forced smile: "Young Master, I have a lot of things to do. I didn't go to the banquet. I hope you'll forgive me."
Li Hao also guessed the reason and was not surprised. He just smiled and said:
"I am no longer the young master of Shanheyuan, just call me boy from now on."
To be continued...
