The Name of Eternity

Liangzhou, on Longguan Road.

Li Tiangang, wearing the marshal's golden armor, came flying over.

Although Liangzhou is peaceful now, a war may break out at any time in Qianhe, the dragon city outside the country, so he has not yet removed his armor.

After so many years, Li Tiangang felt nostalgic for setting foot on Longguan Road again. When he saw the clean and empty road on Longguan Road, he was a little surprised.

Since the death of the third brother and the sixth brother guarding Longguandao, the demons here have become more and more unruly. I heard that pedestrians leaving the city on the nearby border have been repeatedly attacked by demons, indicating that many demons have sneaked into the territory from both sides of Longguandao. .

But he couldn't blame Li Hongzhuang, who took over to guard this place. The younger sister was born as a girl, but she went into battle. Not to mention that the demonic forces outside Tianmen Pass were rampant and threatened by three demon kings. It was not easy to hold the pass.

The military reports sent back every year show heavy damage, which is enough to show how difficult it is to guard this place.

This is also the reason why we need to shrink the defense line and abandon Tianmen Pass.

At first, I wanted the child to come over and see the dangers of the battlefield. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the pass that was about to be abandoned has now become the safest place in Liangzhou.

Even in such a catastrophe, the army of millions of demons chose to avoid its route and attack from elsewhere.

Li Tiangang's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the green cypresses on the ancient road in front of him. While he was surprised, he also felt a little secretly proud.

Thinking about the face of the child he was about to see, his eyes became a little eager. Although it was just a clone, he felt heartbroken when he saw Li Hao risking his life to lead away the three demon kings. That was his and Qingqing's only son. .

Whenever others talk about how outstanding and amazing Li Hao's talent is, although he looks calm and even a little cold on the outside, he can't help but feel proud and satisfied in his heart.

That's his Li Tiangang's son!

"Sir, would you like a cup of tea?"

A clear voice interrupted Li Tiangang's thoughts.

Li Tiangang was walking leisurely and saw the tea stall next to him. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"Old man, there are no patrols around Longguan Road, and demons appear at any time. Do you dare to set up a stall here?"

The tea stall owner smiled and said: "General, you are talking about the past, but this is not the case here now. Don't you know that since Major General Haotian took command of Tianmen Pass, there are no demons who dare to set foot here. In my opinion, the old man , the Imperial City may not be this safe!”

Li Tiangang's eyes darkened slightly and he said: "Old man, you are already old. The Imperial City is not someone who can be offended easily. You should be more careful in the future!"

The tea stall owner realized his mistake and quickly apologized with a smile: "Yes, old man, I have talked too much. General, would you like a cup of tea?"

"Even if there is no demon attack, there is no one around here, how can you have business?"

Li Tiangang glanced at the empty Longguandao, thought for a while, and took out a piece of silver.

Although he is a general, he has the habit of bringing some money with him when traveling. He has been educated by his father Li Tianzong since he was a child. As a general of Dayu, he must not easily use the people's things. Otherwise, what is the difference between officers and soldiers and bandits?

"Much more."

The tea stall owner was flattered when he saw the money and hurriedly went to give him some money.

But Li Tiangang had already strode forward: "No need to look for it."

"Hey, General, I haven't served you tea yet!"

"Give yourself a drink."

Watching the golden-armored general leave, the old man at the tea stall wiped the money, put it in his arms, and smiled happily:

"He has an evil spirit, but he is also a kind-hearted person."

In front of Cangya City.

Li Tiangang's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at this majestic new city. The city was covered with flags, fluttering that familiar prestige.

Along the Longguan Road, he also saw several battle flags one after another. He guessed that it was these battle flags that made Longguan Road so peaceful.

At this moment, the generals guarding the city also saw Li Tiangang, and immediately recognized the marshal's armor on his body. They were all shocked. When someone flew out of the city, they stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Meet the Marshal!"

Li Tiangang nodded slightly and said, "Where is Li Hao?"

The general's heart skipped a beat. In their city, they were all called Major General Haotian, and it was forbidden to mention Li Hao's original name.

But he recognized the marshal in front of him as the famous Duke, Duke Xingwu.

"Are you asking about General Haotian's identity, or..."

"What do you think?"

Li Tiangang interrupted him coldly.

The general's face changed slightly, thinking that he was also confused. Major General Haotian rushed to the aid of Liangzhou and performed shocking feats. The news reached the imperial city. Even they knew that General Haotian's true self was not here, so what happened to the Grand Duke Xingwu in front of them? I don’t know.

"General Haotian is in the city..."

"Take me to him."

Li Tiangang ordered.

The general respectfully agreed and immediately led the way.

The general entered the city and walked very fast, but Li Tiangang walked very slowly and looked around.

Upon seeing this, the general quickly lowered his steps and followed the opponent's pace.

Li Tiangang looked around the city and saw shops, hawkers, and handsome young men all dressed up in luxurious clothes, including young masters from aristocratic families and young ladies in colorful dresses. There was a sense of peace that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The children of these aristocratic families also get along quite harmoniously with the coarse cloth vendors, and they seem to be well managed.

Such a lively and prosperous yet orderly scene is like a state city in the center of a large state.

At this time, many people on the roadside looked at Li Tiangang in surprise and started talking.

Li Tiangang wanted to take a closer look, but when he saw the monkey-like gazes of these people, he frowned slightly, and immediately flew into the air and ordered the general:

"Lead the way."

The general saw this and immediately accelerated in the air.

Li Tiangang followed him and flew all the way to the city, where there was an open area, which seemed to be the city lord's mansion.

The surrounding buildings were neat and tidy, and the empty area was a low fenced courtyard, which looked very simple, but there were patrolling generals outside the courtyard, which made the courtyard have a bit of majesty.

"Is that where he lives?"

Li Tiangang frowned: "If you have time to build houses, why don't you build a decent city lord's mansion."

"Reply to the Marshal, General Haotian said that his old friend likes this courtyard, so it is kept as it is."

Li Tiangang raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of the child's casual temperament, and sighed in his heart. Sure enough, even at this border, his temperament has not changed.

It is said that if you don't teach a young person, it will be difficult to change in your life. He knows that the other party's personality should have been fixed, and he is afraid that he will never change.

However, thinking of Li Hao's current reputation and what he had done in Liangzhou, he felt that it was meaningless to dwell on this matter.

Soon, the two landed in front of the fenced courtyard.

"Who is this?"

The two guards at the gate of the courtyard were all from the Haotian Army, and were originally composed of warriors and masters from various states. They only knew some military rules, but had a shallow grasp of other military matters.

Therefore, when they saw Li Tiangang's dress, although they felt that he was extraordinary, they did not recognize him immediately.

"This is the Duke of Xingwu, Marshal Xingwu!"

The general who led the way said immediately.

Li Tiangang frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. Just now, he thought that Li Hao's casual temperament was not necessary to pursue, but he did not expect that this temperament would also extend to the soldiers he commanded.

He could not even recognize his own identity. If he met other generals, he would inevitably collide.

Moreover, it was unknown what would happen if these scattered soldiers were sent to the battlefield.

Although he knew that Li Hao was very strong, he couldn't do everything by himself, especially if he inherited the True Dragon.

If the True Dragon did everything, ten lives would not be enough.

The two guards were shocked when they heard the introduction.

Although they didn't recognize Li Tiangang, the name of Marshal Xingwu had been famous in Yanbei for more than ten years, and they immediately knew that the middle-aged man in front of them was Li Hao's father.

The two hurriedly greeted him. Li Tiangang frowned even more and said coldly:

"Hasn't he trained you? You have no rules at all. If you go to the battlefield, what discipline will you have? You are a mess!"

The two bowed their heads nervously, and one of them whispered:

"General Haotian said that if he is here, we don't need to go to the battlefield, and we have received strict training. Generally speaking, we will not make mistakes unless it is an accident..."

Li Tiangang couldn't help but sneer: "What a big tone. If he takes care of everything, what do you need to do? Who does he think he is? How many lives do he have?"

Seeing the two trembling with their heads down, he was too lazy to scold them and said, "Open the door."

"Marshal, please wait a moment. I will inform General Haotian first..."

A guard hurriedly said as if he had been pardoned, and turned and ran into the courtyard.

Li Tiangang's face changed slightly.

The guard beside him quickly explained to Li Tiangang: "Marshal, calm down. Our general said that no matter who comes, we must inform him first, otherwise it will ruin his interest."

Li Tiangang's eyes flashed with a bit of stern light, and he said: "Interest, what interest?"

This guard is also a master who has been famous for many years. How could he not see that the marshal was angry? He had to smile and say:

"General Haotian likes to take a nap, play chess, or paint on weekdays. If he is disturbed rashly..."

Li Tiangang's face was ugly. He didn't expect that Li Hao was still picking up those fun things at this border, and he didn't restrain himself at all!

I thought that Li Hao had such shocking practice and combat power because he was inspired by him to practice hard at Tianmen Pass.

I didn't expect that he was still playing and enjoying here as always.

He didn't change, not at all!

Li Tiangang took a deep breath, thinking of the things in front of the previous defense line, Li Hao's record, and the current Liangzhou, the anger that had just risen in his heart gradually dissipated.

He sighed secretly. Although the other party had not changed, his talent was indeed outstanding. Even in comfort and enjoyment, he still had that amazing fighting power. At the same time, he also saved hundreds of millions of people in Liangzhou.

He couldn't say anything about such a brilliant achievement.

And he knew that the child was stubborn. This time, he came here to ease the relationship between father and son.

At this time, the gate of the courtyard opened again, and the guard came out, but his face seemed a little nervous and cramped.

He glanced at Li Tiangang, and Li Tiangang saw his expression and his face also became gloomy.

"That..."

The guard said nervously: "General Haotian said he would not see guests, so you go back."

"You brat!"

Li Tiangang was furious. As a father, he personally visited Li Hao and bowed to him. He actually closed the door and refused to see him?

There was no father-son etiquette at all!

"Did he say that himself? Let him come out and see me in person!"

Li Tiangang's face was cold. Thinking that it was Li Hao's clone, he might not inherit much of the original consciousness, so he suppressed his anger.

"Major General Haotian is painting."

"What painting? As a general, does he want to paint a masterpiece?"

Li Tiangang was too lazy to talk nonsense and pushed the guard in front of him away. The other party wanted to stop him, but he glared slightly and exuded the aura of the Four Li Realm.

The breathtaking deterrence frightened the two guards, and they were frozen and unable to move.

He kicked the gate open and walked inside.

He saw two figures sitting in the courtyard, one sitting cross-legged with a sword across his legs, closing his eyes to meditate.

The other was painting, picking up a brush and writing.

At this moment, both of them were startled by the sound of the gate breaking, and looked at Li Tiangang.

Ren Qianqian immediately recognized Li Tiangang's appearance, was stunned for a moment, and quickly stood up and said, "Uncle."

The dark side Li Hao sat in front of the painting, but frowned slightly. He didn't have many memories. Most of the time, he was painting, playing chess, and looking up at the stars alone in an empty ancient courtyard.

Some faces that occasionally flashed by were also women in silk and satin.

The face in front of him was relatively unfamiliar, but also somewhat familiar, but instinctively, he felt a deep rejection.

"This is the general's residence. Who allowed you to trespass?"

Dark Li Hao's face turned cold. He put the pen aside, stood up, and took a fighting stance.

The order Li Hao left for Dark was to defend Cangya City to the death.

"You are so idle!"

Li Tiangang saw that Li Hao's clone was indeed painting, and he couldn't help but laugh. Even the clone was like this?

"Do you know who I am?" He asked with a cold face.

"No matter who you are, you have to abide by my rules here!" Dark Li Hao said coldly.

"The clone has no memory at all?"

Li Tiangang frowned. Although the martial arts clone technique is rare, he also knows that it is an external incarnation. It is extremely difficult to condense and master it, but the final effect is very ordinary.

After all, the clone can inherit one-tenth of the power of the original body, which is good.

And if you practice other techniques with the same difficulty, your strength may increase by one-third, which is several times that of the clone!

The only benefit of a clone is that it can help with some other small things, but for a strong man, there is no shortage of servants around him who can do things, unless they are doing some private things, it is useless to use them in real battles.

If Li Hao was still by his side, he would never approve of him spending time practicing this kind of martial arts.

But he had already adapted to Li Hao's temperament. He couldn't even discipline him to play chess or paint, let alone practice any martial arts.

"You followed Hao'er here, do you know whether there is a life-and-death connection between his clone and the original body?"

Li Tiangang asked Ren Qianqian next to him.

Ren Qianqian looked nervous and said, "I don't know much about the young master's affairs."

"Aren't you his personal maid?" Li Tiangang frowned.

"... But I never ask about the young master's affairs." Ren Qianqian bowed her head.

Li Tiangang was so angry that he snorted coldly and said to the clone of Li Hao in front of him: "Your original body is trapped in the Dead River. Do you know? Can you sense it? Is there a life-and-death connection between you and your original body?"

"This is my business. There is no need to answer you. Please go out, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

The dark clone Li Hao said.

Li Tiangang was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "I am the Marshal of Liangzhou. Tianmen Pass is under my jurisdiction. I have the final say here. You want me to go out?"

"You can be in the city, but not in this courtyard."

The dark Li Hao frowned.

Li Tiangang's eyes shot out cold light and anger: "I came to you to ask you to go back and see if you can find out the situation of your original body. Do you want to drive me away?"

"Qianqian, see you off."

The dark Li Hao said with a cold face.

Ren Qianqian couldn't help looking at Li Tiangang, and said hesitantly: "Uncle, why don't you wait until the young master comes back before talking?"

"You don't have the right to speak!"

Li Tiangang glanced at her coldly.

This look was like a sharp sword piercing the heart, making Ren Qianqian's face suddenly pale, and she stepped back.

The dark side Li Hao's face suddenly changed, his eyes were full of cold light, and he raised his hand and waved it. The Longxiao Sword that was inserted into the ground where Ren Qianqian had been sitting cross-legged suddenly came out of its sheath, roaring a golden dragon roar.

The magic sword gathered its power and slashed out without hesitation.

Li Tiangang's eyes were angry, and he suddenly slapped out with a palm, and the golden light on the sword broke, but his face also changed.

The power of this sword exceeded his expectations and was much stronger than he imagined.

His body slightly retreated two steps, and his body stopped before it stopped.

"Are you the real body or the clone?!"

Li Tiangang looked up and looked at Li Hao in front of him with surprise.

The dark side Li Hao's eyes were cold, and the golden sword light stood in front of him, saying: "If you stay any longer, I will treat you as an intruder!"

Li Tiangang's face became ugly when he heard these ruthless and cold words.

"I want to see how you deal with your father!"

Li Tiangang clenched his fists, revealing his aura.

At this moment, a figure suddenly descended like a breeze, and appeared between Li Tiangang and Li Hao as if teleporting.

"You should have had enough of the trouble!"

A cold voice came out, and Feng Boping looked at Li Tiangang coldly.

Originally, when Li Tiangang arrived, he sensed that he had moved from the courtyard to the clouds, and wanted to hide his figure.

But when he saw that the other party had a conflict with Li Hao's clone again, he really couldn't sit still.

"Hao'er is now trapped in the Dead River, which is a Nether City-level Dead River. Life and death are unpredictable. Are you going to kill his clone here?!"

Feng Boping said coldly.
