After the war surrounding the Mingdu Imperial City ended, all forces could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Emperor Ming took many risks in this war and consumed a lot of money. He did not come forward to deal with the aftermath and called Huo Yuhao over to check his body.
Due to the existence of the Tianyang Imperial Armor, he was not harmed by external forces, but his almost exhausted life was barely able to maintain the Tianyang Imperial Armor around him.
Even though Emperor Ming was a former ninth-level soul master.
In a side hall of the palace, Emperor Ming was lying on a soft bed exhausted physically and mentally. Today's war had greatly consumed his energy.
Now that he relaxed a little, Emperor Ming could hardly stand up.
Huo Yuhao had just settled the oranges when he was summoned by Emperor Ming's attendant.
He gave the orange to several of his good friends, believing that they would protect the orange and that the orange would not be severely persecuted until he returned.
It is definitely impossible for Orange to be exempted from guilt, because she will have to obtain information about Xu Tianran later, and she will also be implicated in the crime of treason.
But Huo Yuhao must find a way to protect her.
"His Majesty."
Huo Yuhao entered the side hall where Emperor Ming was and bowed respectfully.
At this time, Emperor Ming was almost unable to speak, and he probably didn't hear what Huo Yuhao was saying, so the imperial doctor quickly asked him to see how the emperor's condition was.
If the emperor really dies after this battle, then Xu Tianran will be no different from completing his plan.
He will definitely find a way to return to Mingdu. As a very capable prince, there will be many people in the court who support him.
Although Xu Tianran will definitely transfer some benefits to the nobles who support him, as long as he can ascend the throne normally, it will be worth it to him.
The same goes for nobles. They always put interests first. What does it mean for Xu Tianran to collude with the evil soul master? As long as you can transfer benefits to them, you are colluding with the devil, and the nobles don't care.
In other words, His Majesty the Emperor had better survive this period of time. In just three to five months, the Sun and Moon Empire will be able to return to normal order, and the iteration of the dynasty will be much smoother.
Huo Yuhao came closer and took a closer look. He didn't know how to treat patients. That was the responsibility of an imperial physician.
But the reason why the imperial doctor called Huo Yuhao was indeed not because of his illness, but because Emperor Ming had run out of vitality at this time.
Huo Yuhao originally estimated that Emperor Ming's lifespan would be almost these days, and maybe he would have a few more months to live, but today he used a lot of soul power to accelerate the loss of life force.
Ordinary people naturally don't have such troubles when using soul power, but an aging person like Emperor Ming, who has been suffering from long-term illness, is different.
Comparing the human body to a pottery basin and the vitality to water, Emperor Ming's current body is like a basin leaking air from all directions, and the vitality it can withstand is very limited.
Huo Yuhao helped him repair the leaks below the water surface so that his water could flow more slowly.
But today Emperor Ming took action to break these loopholes again, and the water flowed away very quickly, resulting in this appearance.
Huo Yuhao had no good way to deal with this. What could he do to a person whose life was approaching? He was not a god.
However, Huo Yuhao, who had mastered the magic of life, would not let Emperor Ming die like this. Although the basin leaked, it would not be a problem to repair it with all possible means and use it for another year. However, Emperor Ming was completely I can't do anything anymore.
Huo Yuhao immediately decided, and a green life energy appeared in Huo Yuhao's palm.
This time, he could no longer use the Life Watching Blade to save Emperor Ming's life, because his body could not withstand the sharp power of the Life Watching Blade. Using that would completely destroy the tattered pottery basin that was the Emperor Ming's body. broken.
This is also the reason why Huo Yuhao said that he had no way to extend the life of Ming Emperor Duoduo.
However, violent methods are useless. There is no problem in using some gentle methods to prolong life for a while, but it can only stop there completely.
Huo Yuhao's palm slowly moved from Emperor Ming's forehead across his entire torso, forcefully dragging Emperor Ming back from the gate of hell.
The whole process took an hour, and it was dark outside.
Only then did Huo Yuhao realize that a day had passed since the war started.
It was also because of this that Huo Yuhao was even more shocked. Why did the group of soul engineers sent by Emperor Ming return so quickly, even without being used for a day?
It's a bit incredibly fast.
But this information should not be sent to him yet, so let's wait.
At least we have to wait until Jing Hongchen comes back.
"Master Li, your majesty is fine now. You should wake up after a good night's rest. Your majesty has worked too hard this time. You must not do anything again within a year. Otherwise, the gods will be hard to save."
After Huo Yuhao completed his mission, he explained it to the imperial physician beside him and then wanted to leave.
The imperial physician, known as Mr. Li, did not ask what would happen to His Majesty's body in one year's time because it would be meaningless.
The fact that he was able to invite Huo Yuhao over meant that he already knew His Majesty's physical condition. It was incredible that Huo Yuhao was able to rescue him. He was also able to let His Majesty live for another year. What kind of magical means was this?
Originally, he thought it would be great if His Majesty could live for another month at most.
At that time, the court would be more or less stable, at least the situation like today would not happen again.
Master Li bowed and thanked Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao left immediately. After all, this was the deep palace of Emperor Ming, and it was inappropriate for him to stay too late at night.
Moreover, the concubines of Emperor Ming are almost old and wan, and they are not as eye-catching as the girls around Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao dragged his slightly tired body back to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
It was really not a good job to carefully use his life force to repair Emperor Ming's broken life force. His mental force was already very consumed, and if he was asked to do this again, there really wouldn't be a drop left. He needed to sleep quickly. Restore your mental strength.
"Yuhao, you're back, what about Orange? We brought him back. The royal family is clamoring for him. But now there are too many things in the palace and everyone is worried. Only now do we have a chance. Bring her back quietly."
As soon as Huo Yuhao returned to his dormitory, he saw Meng Hongchen and his party waiting for him here.
There's no way to rest right now.
"Where is Senior Orange?"
Huo Yuhao asked.
"At this."
Emperor Xue took advantage of the conversation and pointed to his room, and Orange walked out of it.
Orange looked very tired. Xu Tianran's plan had failed, and her ambitions could no longer be satisfied. With her current status, it was impossible for her to obtain military power, and she might not even be able to save her life.
Of course, Orange may not care much about the latter.
"Yuhao."
When Orange saw Huo Yuhao coming back, she smiled sadly, her fate was indeed unfortunate.
Seeing her in this situation, Huo Yuhao felt very emotional. They had been laughing and chatting all night, but the next day Juzi left her without saying goodbye. This really made Huo Yuhao sad for a long time.
Now that she was caught as a rebel, her character has changed.
The most important thing is that Orange seems to be Xu Tianran's confidant, otherwise she would not have brought Orange with her at the last moment.
"It's okay, Senior Orange, as long as you tell everything you know completely, I will definitely save you."
Huo Yuhao made up his mind that no matter what mistakes Orange made, he would always make up for it with his contribution in this war.
He didn't believe that what he had done in this war could not be exchanged for an orange.
Orange is not the mastermind, and judging from the fact that she took the risk to send a message to herself, she must have great restrictions. A less important person asked her to hand over all the information.
Orange felt very uncomfortable when she heard what Huo Yuhao said. She didn't want Huo Yuhao to do this for her, and she would have nothing to give back to Huo Yuhao.
"Okay, Senior Orange, there's no need to say anything. Just tell us about Xu Tianran."
Huo Yuhao saw through Orange and wanted to refuse, but he had already made up his mind. Huo Yuhao could not let Orange explain like this.
"All right,……"
Orange told everyone everything he knew about Xu Tianran's plans.
When they first heard about it, everyone was very angry. It turned out that Xu Tianran had betrayed the interests of the empire to such an extent, but later, they even became numb.
I have always heard that Xu Tianran decided to protect their development in the Sun and Moon Empire in order to get the help of the Holy Spirit Sect, and he did not know how many inhumane killings were caused in various places.
Everyone was furious, but after the anger, there was a huge emptiness. What had happened had happened, and they were unable to change anything.
Moreover, Xu Tianran, the culprit, ran away, so we can't blame Orange for this.
Orange had no involvement in this matter, and Orange knew very little about the sale of soul engineer group equipment that Huo Yuhao cared about most. She was still studying at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy at the time.
She only knew about such a thing in general, but didn't know the specific details. Naturally, she also knew nothing about the high-level officials involved.
And she would be very angry when she found out, because the Sun-Moon Empire was the most advanced in soul guidance technology, and Xu Tianran sold the soul guidance group's equipment, which would be extremely detrimental to future wars. This was what Orange was most concerned about.
After all, her ideal is to conquer the entire continent, so that there will no longer be distinctions between countries on the continent, and she will never start a war lightly.
But Xu Tianran sold the most important strategic equipment of the Sun and Moon Empire, which was simply crazy.
Orange is Xu Tianran's absolute confidant and knows a lot about the inside story. Xu Tianran's ambitious blueprint was unfolded to everyone by Orange. Everyone was left speechless by Xu Tianran's ruthlessness and no bottom line.
But I have to admit that what he did was indeed amazing!
If Huo Yuhao and others hadn't discovered the evil soul master's appearance in Mingdu in advance, Xu Tianran's rebellion might have been successful today.
They simply couldn't imagine what kind of hell scene the Holy Spirit Sect would cause after taking control of the Sun and Moon Empire.
And they have no ability to change, because Xu Tianran is the emperor.
"Sister Orange, thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest first. I will go with you to meet His Majesty tomorrow."
Huo Yuhao felt very uncomfortable after listening to Orange talk so much in one breath. He didn't want to do any more activities today.
The spirit is tired and the heart is even more tired.
Obviously there are so many people who desperately want to protect their country, but there are just so many people who don't know how to cherish it.
Sad?
Or numbness is more appropriate.
Huo Yuhao bid farewell to everyone and went back to his room to think quietly. After thinking about it, he fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, I felt completely refreshed and my confidence was restored at the same time.
What I learned last night was indeed a bit dark, but now that Xu Tianran has escaped, once the empire borer is eliminated, isn't what is left the healthy part?
After tidying up his appearance, Huo Yuhao headed towards the palace with Orange in high spirits.
Emperor Ming should have almost recovered today. He injected a lot of vitality into Emperor Ming yesterday, enough to keep him alive and kicking for a while.
It’s just that he can’t control it anymore.
Not many ministers came to the temporary court today. In yesterday's battle, the main hall of the court was completely destroyed by the aftermath of the explosion of the ninth-level fixed soul-guided artillery shell. Those ministers who were not protected by Emperor Ming were also wiped out.
Many of them were nobles, and the fighting area outside the palace was also a noble area. The nobles suffered huge losses in this war.
Huo Yuhao participated in the court meeting for the first time under the leadership of the palace officials. Originally, he did not have this status to participate in the court meeting, but he had made great contributions in the war and had Orange as a key intelligence personnel, so he made an exception and participated in the court meeting.
After Huo Yuhao went to court, he was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he first listened to what the adults were discussing.
The first is the information about the Douluo Alliance.
Huo Yuhao was very interested in this and couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.
Two days ago, the empire's three major soul master groups, led by Ye Yulin, went to pursue the Douluo Alliance. Jing Hongchen was responsible for leading the elites of Mingdetang to cover the flanks to guard against accidents at any time.
Not long after leaving Mingdu, Ye Yulin used a high-altitude detection soul guide to find that the Douluo Alliance group was not walking fast at all, and they did not look like they were leaving in a hurry.
Ye Yulin immediately put himself on guard. The Douluo Alliance definitely had a conspiracy.
Ye Yulin was very patient at first, but the Douluo Alliance didn't really seem to be in a hurry.
Ye Yulin became anxious on the spot. There was no way to continue like this. The Holy Spirit Sect was eyeing him in Mingdu, and he didn't have so much time to waste.
So he immediately sent out two groups of soul engineers to attack, including himself, leaving a reserve team behind.
After they appeared, the Douluo Alliance immediately showed their fangs.
Their strength is not weak at all. There are many masters hidden in the team who used special means to avoid their detection during border inspections.
But if it was just like this, it would be impossible to walk out of Mingdu safely like this.
The Douluo Allied Forces retreated while fighting. The two soul engineer groups really had nothing to do with them, and the battle fell into a stalemate.
Ye Yulin saw that the Douluo Allied Forces were so incompetent that they could no longer have backup forces, so he ordered the reserve team to come forward. The three major soul master groups merged into one, and their combat effectiveness immediately increased.
This part of the Douluo Alliance was almost in a desperate situation.
Just when Ye Yulin thought the battle was about to end and there was no more suspense.
The Douluo Alliance retreated into a valley, and then, the most incredible thing happened, they disappeared.
