Chapter 1074

Gu Yi looked at Liu Hong before him, his heart also filled with emotion. He patted Liu Hong on the shoulder and smiled: “You have grown up and are no longer the child who needs protection at all times. Your current achievements are all the result of your own efforts.”

Hearing this, Liu Hong’s eyes were slightly red, and he took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. “Sir, you will always be my teacher, the person I respect the most. Without you, there would be no me today.”

Gu Yi smiled and nodded; he knew that although he was just a passerby in this era, being able to forge such a deep friendship with Liu Hong was also a fortunate thing. “Alright, let’s not talk about this. Meet the people I brought back this time; from now on, they will be your right-hand men.”

Saying this, Gu Yi turned and greeted Huanan Laoxian, Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, and others to step forward. These people all had extraordinary temperaments and were clearly not ordinary people. Liu Hong looked at them and secretly admired them; he knew that these people were all carefully selected by Gu Yi and must have extraordinary abilities.

“Huanan Laoxian, you are good at divination; from now on, the good and bad luck of the country will depend on your predictions,” Gu Yi said, pointing to Huanan Laoxian.

Huanan Laoxian nodded slightly, his expression indifferent. “Your Majesty, this old man will certainly do his utmost to share your worries.”

Liu Hong looked at Huanan Laoxian, his heart filled with awe. He knew that the art of divination was mysterious and unpredictable, capable of foreseeing the future, which was undoubtedly a great help to the country.

“Zhang Jiao, you are proficient in magic; from now on, the security of the country will be handed over to you,” Gu Yi said, pointing to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao bowed and saluted, his voice firm. “Your Majesty, your subject will certainly guard the peace of the country and not let any petty people take advantage of the situation.”

Liu Hong looked at Zhang Jiao and pondered secretly. He knew that Zhang Jiao’s magic was unfathomable, and with him there, the country’s security would surely be as solid as a rock.

“Yu Ji, you are good at medical skills; from now on, the medical treatment of the country will depend on you,” Gu Yi said, finally pointing to Yu Ji.

Yu Ji smiled and nodded, his expression gentle. “Your Majesty, your subject will certainly do his utmost to treat every person who needs help.”

Liu Hong looked at Yu Ji, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew that medical treatment was crucial to the country, and with Yu Ji there, the lives and health of the people would be guaranteed.

After introducing everyone, Gu Yi looked at Liu Hong and smiled: “How is it? Are these people to your liking?”

Liu Hong nodded repeatedly and said excitedly: “Sir, you are truly too amazing! These people are all geniuses! With their help, why should I worry about not achieving great things!”

Hearing this, Gu Yi was also quite relieved. He knew that his task this time had been more than half completed. The rest would depend on how Liu Hong used them.

“Alright, the rest is up to you,” Gu Yi patted Liu Hong on the shoulder, his tone full of encouragement.

Liu Hong took a deep breath, his eyes firm. “Sir, rest assured, I will certainly not fail your expectations! I will let these people play their greatest role in my hands! I will let the country move toward prosperity and strength under my leadership!”

Gu Yi looked at Liu Hong’s firm eyes, his heart also full of expectation. He knew that Liu Hong was no longer the child who needed protection at all times. He had grown into a monarch with responsibility and ability.

In the days that followed, Liu Hong began to work closely with Huanan Laoxian, Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, and others. They performed their duties and worked together for the prosperity and strength of the country. And Liu Hong, with their help, gradually showed the demeanor of a wise monarch.

However, just when the country was gradually getting on the right track, an undercurrent was quietly surging. Some forces dissatisfied with Liu Hong began to gather in secret, attempting to overthrow his rule. And all of this was foreseen by Huanan Laoxian’s divination.

“Your Majesty, this old man recently discovered through divination that the country will face a great catastrophe!” Huanan Laoxian said with a grave expression.

Hearing this, Liu Hong was shocked. He knew that Huanan Laoxian’s divination had never been wrong. What could this great catastrophe be?

“Sir, then what should we do?” Liu Hong looked at Huanan Laoxian, his eyes full of expectation.

Huanan Laoxian pondered for a moment and said: “Your Majesty, this great catastrophe comes from within. Someone is attempting to overthrow your rule. We must prepare in advance to turn danger into safety.”

Hearing this, Liu Hong pondered secretly. He knew that this great catastrophe was undoubtedly a huge test for the country. But he also understood that as long as he was united with Huanan Laoxian, Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, and others, and faced it together, they would surely be able to overcome this crisis.

“Good! Then let us face this crisis together!” Liu Hong said with a firm expression. He knew he could no longer rely on Gu Yi. This great catastrophe had to be overcome by himself and those around him.

Therefore, a tense and fierce struggle quietly unfolded. Liu Hong worked closely with Huanan Laoxian, Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, and others to deal with this sudden crisis.

In the intensive preparations, Liu Hong first summoned Zhang Jiao.

“Zhang Jiao, the security of the country depends on you. Now an unknown crisis is coming, and I hope you can strengthen your guard to ensure the safety of the capital,” Liu Hong said with a stern expression, his tone revealing an unquestionable firmness.

Zhang Jiao bowed and saluted, his eyes flashing with determined light. “Your Majesty, please rest assured, your subject will certainly do his utmost until death. I have already laid a net, and any movement will not escape my eyes.”

Liu Hong nodded, feeling slightly relieved. He knew that Zhang Jiao was not only proficient in magic but also loyal and reliable; with him there, the security of the capital could indeed be worry-free.

Next, Liu Hong summoned Yu Ji.

“Yu Ji, in this crisis, many innocent people may be hurt. I hope you can prepare medicinal materials in advance and organize medical teams to be ready to treat the wounded at any time,” Liu Hong’s tone was full of trust and expectation for Yu Ji.

Yu Ji nodded with a smile, his expression revealing a calm demeanor. “Your Majesty, please rest assured, your subject has made full preparations. I will personally lead the medical team to ensure that every person who needs help can receive timely treatment.”

Liu Hong looked at Yu Ji, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew that Yu Ji was not only skilled in medicine but also cared for the world; with him there, the lives and health of the people could indeed be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Subsequently, Liu Hong had an in-depth conversation with Huanan Laoxian.

“Sir, where will this great catastrophe come from? How should we respond?” Liu Hong looked at Huanan Laoxian, his eyes full of expectation and anxiety.

Huanan Laoxian pondered for a moment and said with a grave expression: “Your Majesty, this great catastrophe comes from within; as for who it is specifically, this old man cannot determine yet. But we can start by strengthening internal management while closely monitoring the dynamics in the imperial court; once we discover any abnormalities, we will take action immediately.”

Hearing this, Liu Hong pondered secretly. He knew that although Huanan Laoxian’s divination was magical, it could not be completely relied upon. This crisis had to be faced and solved by himself and those around him.

“Good! Then we will follow your suggestion, strengthen internal management, and closely monitor the dynamics in the imperial court,” Liu Hong said with a firm expression. He knew he had to keep a calm and clear head to lead the country through this crisis.

In the days that followed, Liu Hong worked closely with Huanan Laoxian, Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, and others to deal with this sudden crisis. They performed their duties and did their best, working together for the stability and safety of the country.

However, the crisis was not so easy to overcome. As time passed, some abnormal movements began to appear in the imperial court. Some officials began to collude in secret, attempting to overthrow Liu Hong’s rule. And all of this was keenly perceived by Huanan Laoxian.

“Your Majesty, this old man discovered that a group of officials in the imperial court are colluding in secret, attempting to harm you. We must take action immediately and catch them all in one net!” Huanan Laoxian said anxiously.

Hearing this, Liu Hong was shocked. He knew that this crisis had finally broken out. But he also understood that as long as he was united with Huanan Laoxian, Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, and others, and faced it together, they would surely be able to overcome this crisis.

“Good! Then let us act immediately!” Liu Hong said with a firm expression. He knew he had to make a decisive decision to ensure the stability and safety of the country.

Therefore, a thrilling struggle quietly unfolded. Liu Hong worked closely with Huanan Laoxian, Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, and others to deal with this crisis. They used their respective strengths and advantages to successfully expose the conspiracy of those officials attempting to overthrow Liu Hong’s rule and caught them all in one net.

In this crisis, Liu Hong showed extraordinary leadership and firm will. He not only successfully resolved the crisis but also further consolidated his ruling position. And Huanan Laoxian, Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, and others also played a huge role in this crisis, and their ability and loyalty were highly recognized and appreciated by Liu Hong.

After the crisis, Liu Hong summarized the lessons learned from this struggle with Huanan Laoxian, Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, and others. They knew deeply that although this crisis had been overcome, the road ahead was still long, and they had to remain vigilant at all times, working together for the prosperity and strength of the country.

“Gentlemen, we were able to successfully overcome the crisis this time, all thanks to everyone’s joint efforts. But the road ahead is still long, and we must remain clear-headed and firm-willed at all times to ensure the long-term stability of the country,” Liu Hong said with a solemn expression.

Huanan Laoxian, Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, and others nodded in agreement. They knew deeply that they shouldered the future of the country and the expectations of the people, and they had to work hard at all times to live up to this heavy responsibility.
