The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 197: Liangzhou Turns Peaceful
"Fifth brother, it was obviously your own carelessness."

Another five-year-old child said with a grin.

The fight between the three men also stopped, and the older boy snorted in displeasure: "If you sneak attack me like this, I will get serious next time!"

"Fifth brother, if you are serious, it will be bullying."

The five-year-old laughed.

"Humph, who told you to always sneak attack?"

"Father said that fighting and killing does not count as a sneak attack, it is a trick of war!"

"We're just sparring."

Watching the children quarreling, Li Hao's eyes moved slightly. Listening to their conversation, he could roughly guess their identities.

As his thoughts moved, a golden light appeared before his eyes.

Li Hao looked at Chen Hefang, but saw that she was unaware of the golden light floating in front of her eyes. The words formed by the golden light were reflected on her cheek as he turned his head.

[Growth] Mission progress: 5.6%.

Li Hao quickly calculated in his mind and realized that he was already a little over one year old.

That said, he should be able to talk and walk by now.

"Mother?"

Li Hao thought for a moment, spoke tentatively, and immediately spoke clearly.

Chen Hefang was slightly startled when he heard the childish cry, then he immediately looked down at Li Hao, the smile on his face turned into surprise:

"Jiuluo, do you know how to call me mother? Call me mother again and I will hear it."

"Mother."

Although Li Hao felt strange, he still shouted out loud. It seemed that his vocal cords were indeed fully developed.

Seeing that Li Hao was so smart and actually understood what she said, Chen Hefang smiled like a flower and said "yes, yes, yes" repeatedly.

A few children who were quarreling in the yard heard the noise and took the opportunity to stop practicing and gathered over.

The three-year-old child who was dancing with a stick trotted over, but forgot to drop the stick in his hand and almost swung it at Li Hao's head, but was blocked in time by Chen Hefang.

"Jun Ye, don't hurt your brother."

Chen Hefang chuckled but did not blame the child.

Little Li Junye was also frightened. He quickly threw the stick aside and came over to look at Li Hao curiously.

"Can my brother speak now?"

"Call me brother!"

The older Li Xuanli said in surprise.

The other sturdy little Li Tiangang directly asked Li Hao to call him brother, and teased Li Hao with a very impressive look on his face.

The other child seemed to be Li Fenghua. He was fair and clean, with gentle eyes. He seemed to have inherited more of Chen Hefang's temperament. He just smiled and didn't say anything. He seemed a little shy.

Li Hao knew that these were the obsessions of his grandfather. To be more precise, these were part of his memory.

Whether the memory is true or not remains to be verified.

After all, even he was counted as Juro, which shows that certain factors can change the other party's memory.

Seeing these guys rubbing their faces like curious babies, Li Hao felt helpless. He closed his eyes and waited for more than ten seconds. Suddenly, he felt the sounds around him gradually disappear, as if he was being dragged away by something.

After waiting for a few minutes, when Li Hao opened his eyes again, he saw a wooden stick whistling towards him and hitting his forehead.

He was startled, but reacted quickly, rolling on the ground to avoid the wooden stick. At this moment, he felt a wooden sword in his hand, and he raised his hand and swung it.

With a thud, he blocked the opponent's wooden stick. Then Li Hao saw clearly that the person attacking him was three-year-old Li Junye.

At this moment, he was also standing in the courtyard training ground that he had seen earlier, with a sword in his hand.

Thinking about what the Fourth Master said, he should have fast-forwarded a period of time, and now he has also joined in the practice.

Li Hao looked at his hands and feet. There was not much change from before. They should have only grown for two or three months.

It's true that they have been practicing since they were little... Li Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that the practice environment of the previous generation was somewhat different from the time he spent alone in that courtyard.

Seeing that the opponent was about to swing the stick at him again, Li Hao turned his body. Although his memory about cultivation was blocked, it seemed that a lot of his previously accumulated combat experience still remained. He slapped the opponent's back of the hand with a sword and knocked the stick down.

pat.

The wooden stick fell to the ground, but Li Hao had no strength. Little Li Junye just rubbed the back of his hand and did not cry or make a fuss. Instead, he picked up the stick again.

Seeing that the opponent was about to attack again, Li Hao quickly said, "No more fighting, I'm tired."

This kind of practice means little to him.

When Li Junye saw Li Hao admit defeat, he also stopped in a daze.

Li Hao looked towards Chen Hefang, only to see him smiling and waving:

"Come over if you're tired and take a break and have something to eat."

Li Hao dropped his wooden sword, ran over and climbed onto a chair. Just as he was about to grab some cakes to eat, he saw Chen Hefang grab his little hand, then carefully wiped the sand and gravel between his fingers with a handkerchief, and then poked his forehead:

"You are just greedy."

Li Hao felt strange, but he still picked up the food and started eating.

There was the sound of wooden swords striking each other again in the courtyard. Li Hao stared at the young Li Xuanli for a moment, and suddenly a hint jumped out in front of him:
[I have learned the basics, do you want to include it?]
coming!

Li Hao was delighted and immediately chose yes.

Soon, a message appeared on the panel:
Kendo: Not yet started (can add points)

Sword Skills: Mysterious Sword Record (Not yet mastered)
Skill Points: 0
Li Hao thought of the many sword techniques in Tingyu Tower. This sword technique is only a top-grade sword technique, and it is a good choice for beginners.

Next, it’s time to work on the art and skills.

Li Hao finished the cake in his hand, clapped his hands, and jumped off the stool:
"Mom, I'm going to play."

"Ok?"

Chen Hefang looked at Li Hao with some surprise, but did not stop him. She just told the maid beside her to keep an eye on Shilang.

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this grandmother was quite lenient with her children when she was young.

He immediately turned around and strolled around the yard.

Get familiar with the environment here first.

As for artistic skills, based on the current situation, Li Hao plans to start with poetry.

He is not able to get in touch with painting and chess for the time being. Even if the grandmother is very lenient, she will probably say something when she sees him lying on the chessboard every day.

The maidservant followed closely behind him, and Li Hao could only mutter to himself and recite famous poems from his previous life.

Soon, an experience prompt popped up in front of him:
[Poetry and Calligraphy Experience +28, Poetry and Calligraphy Experience +32...]
Although Li Hao did not understand these poems and books, he just recited them quietly, but the experience he gained from these famous works was also valuable.

His panel automatically includes poetry, calligraphy and Taoism.

It only takes 0 experience points to go from level 1 to level 100.

Just by reciting a few famous poems, his poetry and calligraphy experience reached 2 levels and he obtained two art points.

Li Hao immediately used it in swordsmanship, increasing it to one level. The other point was reserved, and when he embarked on cultivation, he would include it in the body training method and then add more points.

And at this moment, relying on a section of swordsmanship, the Xuanjian Baolu he had just collected was instantly elevated from the entry level to the perfect level!
Many insights into the way of swordsmanship flooded into his mind, and Li Hao secretly cursed in his heart, "Oh no, it's happening again."

He had a splitting headache when he was digesting these things before.

At this moment, this young body once again experienced the feeling of being overwhelmed by knowledge.

Li Hao covered his head, feeling a sharp pain.

The maidservant next to him was frightened by Li Hao's sudden look of pain. She quickly asked someone to call a doctor, and then hugged Li Hao and took him back for treatment.

Li Hao's headache became more and more severe during the bumpy ride. After he finally finished digesting the food, he felt extremely tired.

Now not only has his body returned to his infancy, but his mental will seems to have returned as well.

Li Hao felt sleepy and couldn't hold on any longer, so he fell asleep again.

……

……

When Li Hao and Li Xiaoran entered the Mu River, the war reached its most intense moment in front of Liangzhou's second line of defense.

Although there were no Candle Fire God, Lu Yuan and others in charge, there were still other demon kings in Taixu Realm, Holy Palace, Longmen, etc. These demon kings had already infiltrated into Liangzhou from other borders, secretly destroyed some important cities and cut off the transmission of intelligence inside.

Upon hearing about the serious situation at the second line of defense, everyone rushed over.

The appearance of several demon kings made the advantage of the second line of defense become tense again.

But at this time, reinforcements from the Xia family arrived.

The reinforcements came from the older generation of the Xia family, the Silijing, who cooperated with the people of Qianji Mountain to block the subsequent demon kings.

After the Xia family arrived, another person from the Fourth Level Realm arrived soon after. He was from the older generation of the Chen family.

Because of the relationship with Chen Hefang, the Chen family, one of the five great generals' palaces, has always had a good relationship with the Li family. It's just that the distance between them is too far, so even if they set out at the first opportunity, they would still arrive late. After all, it spans hundreds of thousands of miles and is blocked by several large states.

As reinforcements arrived one after another, a thrilling battle broke out in front of the second line of defense.

The 20 battle flags that Li Hao had previously sent out were also delivered to the second line of defense by the Tianren Grandmaster wearing the Haotian Army armor.

The addition of 20 battle flags made the situation more stable, severely damaging a demon king and almost killing him.

Outside the battlefield, high in the sky, a figure appeared with auspicious clouds under his feet.

Lin Wujing stared at the battlefield with a gloomy face. He thought he came to relieve the suffering, but in the end he just came to add icing on the cake.

Looking at the unified flag flying majestically on the battlefield, his eyes were filled with shock and anger. He had witnessed the young man's methods with his own eyes when the Li family was fighting for the real dragon. He did not expect that the other party would grow to this level in just over a year.

"Have they gone to the Dead River?"

Lin Wujing asked in a low voice.

A little girl who looked like a child beside him said respectfully, "Yes, they went over there. We just found out that they all entered the Dead River."

Lin Wujing's eyes flickered, but he said nothing.

After a moment, he said, "You go first."

The little girl who looked like a child nodded, and then her figure flashed and turned into a green bird, flying away into the distance.

"Qingzhou didn't come..."

Lin Wujing looked towards the top of the city where the battle was taking place. There was a figure fighting with the Demon King, emitting dazzling divine light. It was none other than the Duke of Li who had guarded Yanbei for more than a decade.

His title and achievements are comparable to those of the older generation of the Li family.

The realm of cultivation displayed by the other party at this moment has also reached the fourth level.

His eyes flickered, and without stopping, he quickly rushed towards the battlefield.

As auspicious clouds appeared, he raised his hand and swung out a lotus-like purple light, quietly killing a Longmen Demon King.

When the demon king noticed Lin Wujing, it was too late. He was severely injured by the purple Buddha light and vomited blood.

"asshole!"

The Dragon Gate Demon King roared, and he was furious when he saw that the situation was completely out of control.

Lin Wujing joined the battle without saying a word.

The battle was so fierce that the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. One of the demon kings of Longmen escaped and called for his chief elder, but there was no news.

The remaining demon kings in Taixu Realm also learned that their leader and his wife had tracked down Major General Haotian and disappeared without a trace. They all felt angry and desperate.

Another day passed.

The royal troops came to the rescue, sweeping across Liangzhou and driving out the demons that took the opportunity to invade, and the flames of war were everywhere.

As soon as the battle outside the second line of defense was over, Li Xuanli ordered the troops that still had combat power to hang up Haotian's flag, go forward to sweep the cities, and completely drive the remaining demons out of Liangzhou!

With the departure of the three demon kings at the ultimate level that Li Hao had attracted earlier, and the arrival of reinforcements from all sides, the crisis in Liangzhou that had almost led to its annihilation was finally temporarily stabilized.

The demons' quick attack and surprise attack failed. Once the Dayu Divine Dynasty received assistance, it would be difficult to fight back, especially when high-ranking demon kings such as Zhuhuo Shen and Lu Yuan were missing.

"We held it!"

Li Xuanli looked at the blood-red setting sun outside the defense line, looked at the corpses piled up on the ground by the tide of demons, wiped the blood off his face, and couldn't help feeling excited.

Li Hongzhuang's bright red armor became even redder, her hair was tangled in minced meat, and she also had a smile on her face, but soon, when she saw the waving flags, her expression changed slightly.

At this moment, as the battlefield calmed down, the other remaining soldiers all waved their battle flags and cheered with joy.

But some people had grief-stricken faces, searching the battlefield for the bodies of their relatives and friends.

Some covered their faces with tears, their faces full of sorrow.

The border soldiers who had suffered a lot in the battle still had numb expressions, with no changes, except for some joy of surviving the disaster.

However, among the aristocratic family soldiers who were participating in such a major battle for the first time, there were countless voices of people crying with joy, and countless figures hugging each other and crying bitterly.

The great joy and great sorrow made those boys and girls who once dreamed of traveling around the world with swords grow up a lot overnight.

"Dad! I survived!"

The older generation of some aristocratic families were looking for their descendants on the battlefield with horror on their faces.

Some people waited until the war was over, crawled out from the tattered and fallen battle flags, and showed a look of surprise.

On the battlefield, there were clusters of survivors, most of whom were surrounded by a battle flag fluttering in the wind.

Thanks to the deterrence of this battle flag, the demons dared not kill and could only avoid these tough opponents.

And this also allowed them to survive.

"We survived, we all survived!"

"Thanks to the protection of the military flag, those monsters are afraid of it, just like torches can drive away wild beasts!"

These survivors experienced this war personally, and they all deeply felt the tremendous sense of security that the military flag could bring.

The deterrence did not come from the military flag, but from the two words on it!
For a moment, in addition to all kinds of cries and sounds of joy on the battlefield, there were also shouts that shook the sky.

Millions of people shouted in unison.

The sound like the roar of mountains and seas reached the top of the city and fell into the ears of Li Xuanli and others, causing the joy in their hearts of guarding countless people to quickly disappear, and their faces turned ugly.
