Chapter 84 Liu Hong: Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
The soul-restoring pill melts in the mouth as the medicinal power travels throughout the body, and a feeling of comfort that I haven't felt in months lingers in my heart.

In just a moment, Zhang Jiao, who was exhausted, seemed to have regained his vitality.

Stand straight and be full of energy.

Looking at Ye Feng who was not far away, he smiled and said, "The effect of this Soul-Restoring Pill is really miraculous. It is a good medicine for replenishing mental strength and tempering the soul."

"It's such a pity to use it on a dying person like me!"

After some emotion, Zhang Jue strode towards the small altar.

Go up to the altar and shout out the secret slogan.

He held a peach wood sword and pointed it in the direction of Luoyang City.

"Thunder God, help me!!"

Countless lightning bolts gathered above his head. Soon, the long sword condensed from thunder once again flew into the air and pointed towards Luoyang City.

"Come on, this time I will fight to the death to compete with you?"

"Do you dare to come out and fight?"

Along with a rumbling sound, Zhang Jiao's voice appeared out of nowhere above Luoyang City.

Countless people were in panic.

The so-called golden dragon protecting the country did not appear.

One reason was naturally because he was severely injured by Zhang Jiao last time and was then swallowed by Ye Feng, so only less than 30% of his original strength remained.

The second reason is that the Golden Dragon of the Han Dynasty's national destiny could sense Zhang Jue's determination to die and was unwilling to fight to the death.

Of course, what’s more important is that Zhang Jue’s target this time is not him.

For many reasons, the golden dragon that protects the country will naturally not appear.

Inside the palace, Liu Hong, who was playing in the boudoir with several beautiful ladies, only felt a bad feeling lingering in his heart.

When he heard Zhang Jue's voice, he was immediately shocked. He didn't care about the beauty in front of him and asked sternly: "How can this demon perform magic?"

"Where is my golden dragon that protects my country?"

"Quickly bring the auspicious sign here!"

"quick!!"

There was chaos outside, and the panicked footsteps of palace maids and eunuchs could be heard.

Xindu, on the altar.

Seeing that the Han Dynasty's Golden Dragon of National Destiny did not dare to appear, Zhang Jue smiled and said, "Thanks to this Soul-Restoring Pill, this beast now knows how to be afraid."

"This way, the Heaven and Earth will be more likely to succeed."

After that, there was another obscure spell.

After more than ten breaths, Zhang Jue opened his eyes again, and a black light emanated from his pupils.

"Heaven and earth live together!"

"Target Liu Hong!!"

"go!!"

As the command was sounded, a strong wind blew up and the black curse instantly disappeared into the sky.

In the Linde Hall.

Liu Hong sat upright on the dragon throne with the so-called auspicious sign placed in front of him.

When he looked in the direction of Xindu City, he didn't see the thunder and lightning that was about to swallow the world like last time. Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief: "I said Zhang Jue was just struggling to survive. This power is much worse than last time."

Zhang Rang, one of the Ten Eunuchs, laughed and said, "Jizhou is winning battles one after another. Zhang Jiao is just a stray dog. How can he still have any tricks?"

"With the auspicious signs around, it will be even harder for these evil demons to take advantage of the situation."

Liu Hong nodded slightly: "Ye Feng is very good, he is the pillar of the Han Dynasty, much more useful than any of the three dukes and nine ministers."

"Zhang Liang has been killed. After we destroy Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, I will reward him well."

Just as these words fell, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard, followed by the voice of the young eunuch: "Grand Tutor Yuan Huai, General He Jin is here!"

"Call!"

As soon as Liu Hong shouted, He Jin and Yuan Huai came in from outside the door.

Just at this moment, a black light rushed directly into Liu Hong's body from the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Liu Hong felt as if his head had been hit hard, and countless black lines in his body were devouring his flesh and blood.

After spitting out a mouthful of black blood, Liu Hong's body swayed and he fell backwards.

Zhang Rang and others standing by changed their expressions and hurried forward to support Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan Huai and He Jin looked as if they had eaten a fly, their faces looking grim.

What the hell is this? How did this happen?

As soon as they came in from outside, the black light penetrated into Liu Hong's body.

It also caused Liu Hong to spit out black blood. Doesn't this indicate that their arrival brought disaster?

If there was no one around, everything would be fine, but Zhang Rang and several other of the Ten Attendants were right beside Liu Hong, so how could they explain themselves?
The two looked at each other suspiciously, obviously asking if it was you who brought the bad luck.

After a moment, both of them showed a bitter smile.

Now is definitely not the time to shirk responsibility, otherwise it will be difficult to get through this stage.

Why is his luck so bad? It must be that Yuan Huai (He Jin) is just unlucky.

The two of them thought the same thing, but their faces were filled with anxiety: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"I will go find the imperial physician right away."

As they spoke, the two men stepped forward to check Liu Hong's injuries.

Before Zhang Rang, one of the Ten Eunuchs, could speak, Liu Hongqiang held on to his last bit of clarity and said, "Don't come near me, retreat quickly!"

"Back off!!"

Zhang Rang also reacted and shouted: "Your Majesty trusted you so much, but you brought filth and brought misfortune to His Majesty."

"Do you really want to kill His Majesty?"

Yuan Huai and He Jin were speechless and smiled bitterly: "This is definitely not ours. It must be a curse from the traitor Zhang Jue!"

He Jin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I came in just by chance, this is a good omen."

Liu Hong glared at the two people who were explaining: "Get out!"

"Get out of here!!"

Jian Shuo, who was standing by, drew the sword from his waist and shouted sternly.

He Jin and Yuan Huai looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and then walked out of the Linde Hall.

As they walked away, Liu Hong looked at the dark night sky and said bitterly, "Why am I always the one who gets hurt?"

Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo: "."

Xindu City, inside the General’s Mansion.

After Zhang Jue performed the skill of 'Longevity of Heaven and Earth', he felt as if for a split second all the strength in his body was drained away and the vitality in his body was disappearing bit by bit.

After a while, the effect of the soul-restoring pill took effect and the feeling of discomfort completely disappeared.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Zhang Jue, supported by Zhang Bao, walked down the altar and shook his head: "The Soul-Restoring Pill is extremely miraculous. It is indeed a good medicine for healing injuries."

"Today is the only day I feel the best in more than a month."

"By the way, after daybreak, there is no need to hide the news of my death. The city of Xindu should have been conquered."

"Otherwise, Liu Hong, who was severely injured tonight, will probably vent his anger on you, the commander-in-chief."

Ye Feng nodded slowly: "The general attack will be launched in three days. During these three days, you can quietly leave the city through the west gate after dark. Remember not to alarm the people, otherwise the noise will be too loud and it is inevitable that there will be complications."

Zhang Liang rarely refuted Ye Feng's words and nodded slowly.

But after a brief silence, he whispered, "What about the people?"

"Most of the people in Xindu City believe in the Way of the Great Peace. If they are killed innocently because of us, they will feel uneasy."

"Can you"

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Jue said with a smile: "They are soldiers, not bandits. They won't burn, kill or plunder!"

"What are you worrying about?"

"Prepare me a meal of good wine and good meat. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to eat such delicious food again in this life."
