Real game world: I am gifted and I suppress all monsters
Chapter 256: Hongmen Banquet
Li Hao, accompanied by two messengers, slowly reached the top of the mountain on a huge rope ladder. He had been here countless times and was very familiar with the place, but this time he felt very nervous.
Because there has been an inexplicable weirdness about the Disha these past two days, and this feeling is very bad.
However, he also made plans for the worst. At worst, he would hand over his military power and start again as a soldier. Although he violated orders, he was the only adopted son of the patriarch after all, so his crime did not deserve the death penalty.
"General, please!"
The guard's voice broke Li Hao's thoughts.
Li Hao nodded slightly, took off his weapons and armor, and walked into the hall alone.
Qiao Wenruo was already waiting in the hall. When he saw Li Hao slowly walk in, he nodded.
Li Hao was startled. He didn't see his adoptive father, but only Qiao Wenruo. He didn't know what Qiao Wenruo had said in front of his adoptive father, or if this was a Hongmen Banquet arranged by him.
But Li Hao was not afraid of him, and said coldly: "What a trick the manager has!"
Qiao Wenruo asked curiously, "Why do you say that, General?"
Li Hao said: "You are an outsider, but you can make the Disha run around in circles. Isn't that a good trick?"
Qiao Wenruo covered her mouth and chuckled, "Wenruo really doesn't understand what the general said. I am just following orders."
"Humph!" Li Hao snorted coldly, "Who knows whose orders you are following!"
Qiao Wenruo pretended to be dumb and said, "Of course I am following the orders of the Patriarch. What's wrong with the general?"
Li Hao looked around and said, "There's no one here. No need to pretend. Tell me! What did you do to my adoptive father?"
Qiao Wenruo was shocked. "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. The general is trying to kill me!"
"Still pretending!"
Li Hao said angrily: "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. I don't know how you got into Disha, but since you came, my adoptive father has changed his previous style. He must have been bewitched by you!"
Qiao Wenruo smiled and said, "Past style? What do you mean, General?"
Li Hao said loudly: "Of course we should prepare our troops to conquer the Southern Barbarians and unify the Nine Li as soon as possible!"
Qiao Wenruo smiled even more proudly, "Is that so? Then has my arrival affected the overall situation?"
Li Hao was stunned. Yes, after Qiao Wenruo arrived, although Disha’s plan was different from before, it was an indisputable fact that Disha was now the only dominant force and had unified Jiuli.
Even if Li Hao had led the army to continue conquering the east and the west in the past few years, it would not necessarily guarantee the achievements of today.
Li Hao thought about it, but still felt something was wrong. "You're talking nonsense. Many other tribes of Jiuli were destroyed by Qianmo Ridge!"
Qiao Wenruo sneered, "You mean, we are just sitting back and reaping the benefits?"
Two sparrows were circling in the air outside the hall. When they crossed each other, Xuanyuan Changqing whispered, "Qiao Wenruo is trying to trick him, get ready to go down!"
Chen Qingzhou immediately paid attention.
In the hall, Li Hao angrily said: "It's almost the same. At least it wasn't done with real swords and guns!"
"brute!"
Suddenly, a loud shout, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, was like a blow to the head, knocking Li Hao to the ground!
Li Hao recognized the voice as that of his adoptive father Li Shixiao, and it seemed to come from underground. He did not even dare to check his injuries, and quickly got up, knelt down, and waited on the ground.
The next moment, the large throne at the head of the hall slowly moved, and soon, Li Shixiao appeared, glaring at them.
Chen Qingzhou finally saw Li Shixiao's face clearly and was shocked. This man was so huge, like a mountain of flesh. He had no clothes on his upper body, or perhaps he had no room for clothes. His hair was disheveled and his face was full of flesh, like a pile of rotten fat. He looked weird, terrifying, and disgusting.
He suddenly thought that Qianyu was already married to this man, and if he still wanted to sleep in the same bed with him, it would be outrageous!
But at the same time, I also understood why the groom did not show up on the wedding day. Such an image really damaged the reputation of Jiuli.
Chen Qingzhou and Xuanyuan Changqing were not the only ones who were surprised. Li Hao was also very surprised, but he was more worried. He immediately bowed, his eyes full of concern, "Godfather, your health..."
In fact, Li Shixiao's physique was not born like this. When he was young, he was very similar to Li Hao. He was also a vanguard general who rode a horse and wielded a sword. He did not change much after he took power.
But in the ten years since Qiao Wenruo appeared, Li Shixiao's body has continued to grow larger. In the past two years, few people have even seen him walking around. Now it seems that he can only sit slumped in a chair.
Facing Li Hao's concern, Li Shixiao scolded him, "Rebellious son! How dare you disobey my order!"
Li Hao knew that he couldn't get away with this, so he lowered his head and said, "Foster father, I was indeed wrong about Diying. I am willing to accept any punishment you want!"
Li Shixiao's fat head trembled, "Just for your little stepmother?"
Li Hao was startled. He was not used to this title, but Li Qianyu was his stepmother after all, so he could not lose his manners in his words. "No, I am doing this for my stepfather's reputation!"
"Hehe..." Qiao Wenruo's low sneer came from the side.
Li Shixiao was furious and shouted, "That sounds nice, but you have to worry about my reputation!"
Before he could finish his words, a gust of energy rushed towards him. Li Hao didn't dare to block it, let alone dodge. He was hit hard and fell with his head raised, his face covered in blood.
Chen Qingzhou was shocked and was about to take action, but he heard Xuanyuan Changqing shouting, signaling him not to be impulsive.
Li Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, finally got up, and knelt down respectfully again.
Seeing that he understood what was going on, Li Shixiao did not continue to attack him. "I will give you a chance to speak now."
Li Hao did not bother to wipe the blood off his face. "Foster father, this fight is different from the previous ones. There are many people from the north watching us. If we kill our fellow countrymen, we will be laughed at and scolded. If they do not help us when the monsters attack, we will be the ones who suffer!"
This sentence hits the nail on the head. Although all the Jiuli tribes have now surrendered to Disha, after all, this is not the powerful alliance of their heyday, but the helpless dependence of scattered soldiers. The two are so different, one in heaven and one in hell, that they cannot be compared at all.
To put it bluntly, the Disha tribe is not yet strong enough to unify the Jiuli on its own. Now after the unification, the overall strength of the Jiuli people is only slightly stronger than the former Disha tribe, which is almost negligible.
Unifying the Nine Li is just a nice-sounding reputation.
Li Shixiao asked, "You mean, the unified Jiuli is just an empty shell? If we didn't have the help of those people in the north, we would have been wiped out by those evildoers?"
Li Hao could hear the anger in his voice and didn't dare to speak directly. "Foster father, you have spent many years to unify Jiuli. This is indeed an achievement comparable to that of our ancestors and saints. But compared to this, continuing the Jiuli tradition is more important."
Qiao Wenruo quickly fanned the flames, "General Li, why do your words sound like you are cursing the demise of Jiuli?"
