Chapter 757

On the other side of the Great Han.

The Han Emperor naturally also received the news that Grand General He Jin had been killed outside the Heavenly Demon Palace.

And not a single person among the tens of thousands of troops led by Grand General He Jin had left that Demon Abyss alive.

After the Han Emperor Liu Hong heard this news, an incomparable sense of anger indeed appeared on his face.

But this anger was not because of He Jin's death or the loss of tens of thousands of troops, but because in this battle, the scroll he had lent to He Jin, which contained the power of the Great Han's Gao Zu Emperor, had been lost!

"Where is the scroll??!!!"

"Where is my scroll!!!!"

Liu Hong shouted loudly at the civil and military officials in the main hall.

Hearing Liu Hong's angry roar, the people standing in the main hall did not react for a moment.

They did not quite understand what the scroll Liu Hong was shouting about was.

Originally, the various ministers in the main hall were planning to ask the Han Emperor Liu Hong to grieve, say a bunch of good things about He Jin, and confer a posthumous title on him.

Then, after saying some harsh words about the Heavenly Demon Palace, the matter would be over.

But now, the Han Emperor's reaction had truly exceeded their expectations.

"Your Majesty, may I ask what scroll it is???"

"Why have we never heard of the matter of a scroll?"

Yuan Shao slowly walked out from the row of military generals in the main hall and said to the Han Emperor.

Ever since the various Great Han noble families began to unite to fight against the Huang Jin Army, the Yuan family had contributed quite a lot.

Now that the war had achieved a phased victory, Yuan Shao naturally dared to return to the main hall.

The reason Yuan Shao was the first to walk out and ask for the Han Emperor Liu Hong's meaning.

This was not just Yuan Shao's confidence in their Yuan family, feeling that Liu Hong would not make things difficult for him.

It was also him winning the hearts of the other civil and military officials in the main hall.

After all, since he was the first to walk out, if he could extract some useful information, he would naturally be spoken well of by others.

And now that the Han Emperor's health was gradually improving, and could even be said to be at its peak, Yuan Shao also wanted to show his face more in front of the Han Emperor.

In case Liu Hong were to pass away in the future, or his old illness were to recur, it was possible that Liu Hong would let Yuan Shao take care of the young Crown Prince.

At that time, with Yuan Shao holding great power, it would be very possible for him to find an opportunity to raise the Yuan family's status and then control the entire noble family system!

Sure enough, after Yuan Shao stood out, the civil and military officials in the main hall cast approving glances at him, and many ministers also began to ask about the "scroll."

"Your Majesty, we are dull-witted and do not know what the scroll Your Majesty speaks of is; we ask Your Majesty to give us a hint."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Grand General He Jin and tens of thousands of soldiers have perished; shouldn't we avenge them? Why does Your Majesty keep talking about a scroll?"

"What on earth is the scroll, Your Majesty???"

It was not until the ministers in the main hall began to ask Liu Hong questions that Liu Hong reacted.

Immediately, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face, but this trace of solemnity was quickly hidden by Liu Hong.

Although his movements were fast, the change in Liu Hong's complexion was still discovered by people like Yuan Shao who had been observing Liu Hong.

After a moment, Liu Hong adjusted his mindset before slowly opening his mouth.

"It is nothing; I was possessed."

"The death of the Grand General and tens of thousands of Great Han soldiers has deeply struck my internal energy."

"This has caused me to suffer a blow!"

"I have made you all laugh just now; I am a bit tired, so let's end it here for today."

Liu Hong said somewhat lazily to the ministers in the center of the main hall, then stood up directly and left the hall where they were discussing matters.

The reason Liu Hong left so hurriedly was that he was afraid that if he continued to stay here, he would let slip the matter of the scroll.

After all, regarding the matter of the scroll, except for Liu Hong himself, even Empress He and Zhang Rang did not know about the scroll.

The scroll containing the power of the Great Han's Gao Zu Emperor was already the Great Han's final trump card for Liu Hong.

Secondly, Liu Hong wanted to call Tong Yuan or Wang Yue over to go to the Heavenly Demon Palace to search for their Great Han's scroll.

After all, the uniqueness of this scroll was incomparable to other things; for Liu Hong, this scroll was more important than either Wang Yue or Tong Yuan.

After all, as long as the scroll existed, as long as the Great Han still had common people and soldiers, they could borrow the power of the Great Han people to erupt with power up to the Land Immortal*Heavenly Immortal Realm.

And these were things Wang Yue and Tong Yuan could not do.

After Liu Hong left the main hall, he immediately summoned Zhang Rang and very seriously ordered Zhang Rang to call back Tong Yuan, who was far away in Jiaying Prefecture.

After Zhang Rang saw Liu Hong's serious appearance, he knew that something must have gone wrong, so he did not waste any extra time.

He directly sent people to Jiaying Prefecture to deliver the message.

After seeing Zhang Rang's actions, a trace of anxiety filled the Han Emperor Liu Hong's eyes.

"There is not much time left!"
