Chapter 664

Li Shimin was very clear about Liu Hong's previous physical condition, which seemed to be hanging by a thread.

"Extending life, if I could obtain it..."

Li Shimin looked at the sun in the sky outside and couldn't help but murmur.

After the other empires learned the news about Liu Hong, they were either surprised or thoughtful; they thought about Liu Hong's affairs, but none of them continued to pay special attention to Great Han.

Because for them, let alone Liu Hong's ability, even if the Gao Zu of the past returned, he might not be able to reverse the situation of Great Han.

After Wang Yue forcibly extended the life of Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, and left the imperial palace, he did not return directly to the front line in Jiaying Prefecture.

Instead, he went to find another guardian of Great Han—Tong Yuan.

Regarding Tong Yuan, actually, even Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, did not know of this person's existence. Now, besides Wang Yue, the only people in the entire Great Han who knew of Tong Yuan were a few very old ministers who had heard more or less about the news that Great Han once had two guardian gods.

The reason Tong Yuan was so nameless in Great Han was precisely because after Gao Zu founded Great Han, he ordered Wang Yue and Tong Yuan to be the guardian gods of Great Han.

In order to let Great Han always be prosperous and flourishing, even if it encountered any disaster in the future, it would not reach the point of national extinction.

Gao Zu established the rule of the guardian gods, having Wang Yue and Tong Yuan guard Great Han, one in the light and one in the dark.

Wang Yue was the guardian in the light, while Tong Yuan was the guardian of Great Han in the dark.

For so many years, Tong Yuan had also been following the rules set by Gao Zu, silently guarding Great Han in the dark, never revealing the slightest bit of his reputation, and even lost contact with Wang Yue for a time.

If it weren't for the fact that the life imprints Wang Yue and Tong Yuan left in each other's hands still had fluctuations, Wang Yue would even have thought that Tong Yuan had fallen at some unknown time.

Now, Wang Yue was searching for Tong Yuan all the way, relying on the life imprint Tong Yuan had given him back then.

After forcibly taking a year of time from the heavens for Liu Hong, Wang Yue himself was also severely injured and could not exert his strongest combat power in the short term.

Now, Great Han was at the most critical moment with Zhang Jiao's Huang Jin army in Jiaying Prefecture.

With his current strength, he absolutely could not hold back Zhang Jiao. If Zhang Jiao knew that Wang Yue's strength was impaired, he would surely attack Jiaying Prefecture at all costs.

At that time, all the good situations now would vanish into thin air once again.

Therefore, Wang Yue wanted to find Tong Yuan and have Tong Yuan move to the light first.

Now, Great Han must have someone who can restrain Zhang Jiao!

On the other side, Jiaying Prefecture.

After the recent days of war against the Huang Jin army and Zhang Jiao's probing of Jiaying Prefecture,

the people of the major noble families in Jiaying Prefecture began to suspect whether Wang Yue was still here.

After all, when Wang Yue was here before, regardless of whether Zhang Jiao appeared or not, he would appear on the battlefield to protect the soldiers' morale from scattering.

But in the recent battles, they had never seen Wang Yue's figure.

Whenever they discussed these things before, Lu Zhi would always say some contradictory reasons to brush off this topic.

But as time went on, the soldiers in Jiaying Prefecture began to feel whether Wang Yue had already abandoned them, which made the soldiers' morale no longer stable.

And the people of the various noble families also began to make things difficult for Lu Zhi, forcing Lu Zhi to tell them Wang Yue's whereabouts.

Ever since Lu Zhi learned the news that Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong's physical condition was already on the verge of death, Lu Zhi was always in a daze and often appeared absent-minded.

Even when eating, Lu Zhi was sometimes in a state of being burdened with worries and thinking about things.

These things were all seen by the people of the major noble families.

Based on Lu Zhi's recent uncharacteristic performance, the people of the major noble families had already suspected that Lu Zhi must know some inside information they were not clear about.

Looking at the aggressive people of the major noble families, Lu Zhi gradually couldn't hold on.

He could only pray continuously in his heart, hoping that Wang Yue could rush back quickly, otherwise, he really had no way to continue hiding Wang Yue's affairs! ===== CHAPTER 665 =====
