This is probably the only good news amidst the bad news that the Chinese army is retreating steadily and the neon forces are approaching Kyoto southward.
Moreover, Yuan Tianhao did not simply wake up. It is said that that night, an astonishing phenomenon appeared in the sky above the Yuan family mansion. The Big Dipper cast seven beams of light, reflecting the entire Yuan Mansion, making the Yuan Mansion bathed in starlight, like a fairy palace in the sky.
In the sky, the auroras spread like ribbons, magnificent and magical.
An inexplicable influence spreads from the Yuan Mansion. Any life that enters within 100 meters of the Yuan Mansion will have a strong sense of admiration. Even masters with internal training and above will also be affected, as if
Within the Yuan Mansion, there lived a supreme being and ruler whose words could move the world.
This phenomenon lasted for nearly half an hour before it finally slowly subsided. Then, news of Yuan Tianhao's awakening came from within the Yuan Mansion.
This news immediately caused violent reactions from all parties.
Some people say that Yuan Tianhao was a blessing in disguise this time. After being seriously injured and comatose for more than a month, he broke through a barrier that no one had broken through in thousands of years and achieved the level of a divine general.
Some people believe that this is a trap set up by various armies, because although there are visions in the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Tianhao himself has not been seen, so this is probably a trick set up by the masters of the armies using special means.
The purpose is to use Yuan Tianhao's reputation to intimidate the momentum of the Neon Army.
Some people also believe that the reason why Yuan Tianhao did not show up is because he has just broken through the realm and is still stabilizing, so it is not suitable to see people. Once the realm is stabilized, he will definitely retreat from the neon army.
There are various theories and there are many doubts.
Early the next morning, a broadcast was sent from Yuan Mansion. It was Yuan Tianhao himself speaking personally. On the one hand, he claimed that his injuries were no longer serious. On the other hand, in response to the current situation, he continued to call on the world's heroes to gather in Beijing to jointly resist.
foreign enemy.
As soon as this broadcast came out, the whole country was in an uproar. Originally, because the armies were vying for power and losing battles one after another, the Chinese people's momentum was frustrated. Now it seemed that there was a turnaround. Many knowledgeable people immediately responded and rushed to the capital.
The Shenzhou United Military Headquarters and the Neon Army were also greatly shaken by this news. Except for Lin Quelan, the major military leaders were both surprised and happy. Now that the Neon Army is pressing on the border, pressing forward step by step, no one can resist it. If Yuan Tianhao really
If they recover and break through the realm, then it is really possible to lead them to defeat the neon army and win.
The only one who was frightened by this news was probably Lin Quelan of the Phoenix Army.
"Yuan Tianhao can still recover?! How is it possible?! He was only able to breathe at the beginning, and he didn't get any better for a month. How could he suddenly recover?!"
Lin Quelan's expression was gloomy, and her originally bright red lips were a little pale at this time. Of course, this was not just because she received the news that Yuan Tianhao had awakened, but because of the previous series of battles and the fight with neon restricted masters, which had made her suffer a lot.
The injury was minor and he has not fully recovered yet.
Among all the people, she was probably the one who least expected Yuan Tianhao to wake up and break through. In order to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, during her trip to Beijing, she had repeatedly tried to secretly attack the Yuan Mansion, but was blocked by other military leaders. As long as Yuan Tianhao was still alive.
, can be used as a means to restrain her, so in the end, she only became the acting generalissimo.
Once Yuan Tianhao wakes up and stabilizes the situation, he will definitely be the first to take advantage of this to attack her.
"I don't know what the real situation is. The Yuan Mansion has been put under full martial law and the information is blocked. All of them are Yuan Tianhao's confidants. If you don't break in by force, it will be very difficult to infiltrate and obtain information."
A staff member said to Lin Quelan.
"In any case, the previous plan to return to Beijing can no longer be used."
Lin Quelan narrowed her eyes slightly. If Yuan Tianhao wakes up and takes charge of the overall situation, her position will be very embarrassing. The other party may even set up a trap to harm her, completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the Phoenix Army, and further control the overall situation of China. After all, going to Beijing is the end.
It's the other party's territory.
And if Yuan Tianhao doesn't wake up and everything is just a scam, then she can't go back to Shangjing. The neon army is moving south and is difficult to stop. She will not stupidly lead people to stick to Shangjing and wait for the neon army to come to the city.
"Find a reason to change the evacuation route. The main force will not enter Shangjing and go back to Jinling. Only one unit will be left to follow the coalition forces to withdraw into Shangjing. Now that Yuan Tianhao is awake, let him take charge of the overall situation."
Lin Quelan said with a cold expression.
Therefore, when the joint forces were on their way to Shangjing, Lin Quelan led part of the main force of the Phoenix Army to break away from the main force and return to Jinling.
Some other military commanders also made similar decisions.
The leaders of the Giant Spirit Army and Fanque Army also separated from the main force before returning to Kyoto.
the other side.
As the combined forces retreated to Shangjing City, the neon army quickly pressed forward. At this time, they were already stationed dozens of kilometers outside Shangjing City. According to Eiji Shoda's original plan, Chen Sheng should pursue and attack Shangjing City at this time.
In the capital, however, the news that Yuan Tianhao had awakened made him change his plan.
"Shangjing City, the thousand-year-old capital of China, is right in front of you."
On a high ground, Sheng Tianying held a telescope in his hand and looked at the bustling capital city dozens of kilometers away from a distance, with an inexplicable brilliance shining in his eyes.
"Can you confirm Yuan Tianhao's specific situation?"
After a long while, Shoda Eiji put down the telescope and asked behind him.
"The specific situation is still not confirmed, but when you reach Yuan Tianhao's level, there may be a miracle. Now that he has not shown up, he is raising suspicions. He may be ill, or he may be deliberately leading us to attack, and then he will
Our experts will catch them all in one fell swoop.”
The person in charge of intelligence behind him said in a deep voice.
"Don't tell me these useless speculations. I only give you three days for the conclusive information I need. After three days, regardless of whether you can find out Yuan Tianhao's specific situation, I will order an attack on the capital.
, However, when that time comes, I hope you can commit seppuku to express gratitude to the Emperor."
Shoda Eiji said calmly.
"Yes, Commander!"
The person in charge of intelligence said with a serious expression.
Jinmen, Wuhui headquarters.
"The National Salvation Association has received news that the three generals have set off with the elite of the National Salvation Association, preparing to rush to Beijing to respond to Yuan Tianhao's call and go to the national disaster together."
Zhao Xuanqi spoke to the core members of the martial arts association.
"Several top schools in Tianxiatang have also responded, and their suitable masters will also rush to Beijing."
"After all, this is the thousand-year-old capital of China. How can we let it fall? Now that Lin Quelan and other major warlords have withdrawn their troops and returned to their respective territories, Yuan Tianhao has awakened and is qualified to command the heroes of the world. What are your plans?"
Tianlao asked Zhao Xuanqi.
"This time, I am going to Shangjing. It is said that Yuan Tianhao has broken through to the realm of a divine general. If there is a chance, I will go to meet him."
Zhao Xuanqi said.
However, before he could set out, a secret envoy from the Beidou Army approached him carrying a letter written by Yuan Tianhao with the seal of the Grand Marshal.
In the letter, Yuan Tianhao hoped that he could leave immediately and secretly go to Beijing to meet with him.
"How is Marshal Yuan doing now?"
Zhao Xuanqi asked the Beidou Army secret envoy who was disguised as an old farmer.
"The commander's situation is completely closed to the outside world, and we don't know anything about it."
The secret envoy shook his head and said.
After hearing the secret envoy's answer and looking at the letter in his hand, Zhao Xuanqi narrowed his eyes slightly and already had some guesses in his mind.
It seems that Yuan Tianhao's situation may not be as good as imagined.
Otherwise, with the courage shown by this person, it would be impossible to secretly invite him to Beijing to meet him in this way.
However, he still admired this person's martial arts and will, and he heard that he had vaguely touched that realm during the siege by the masters. Moreover, the current situation in China seemed to be collapsing. If he wanted to take advantage of the situation, he could take advantage of the situation at this time.
It was an opportunity, and he wouldn't have missed it.
"I'll leave immediately."
Zhao Xuanqi replied.
After receiving the answer, the secret envoy gave Zhao Xuanqi a token and told him the secret contact point of the Beidou Army in Shangjing City. He asked him to go there after arriving in Shangjing and someone would bring him into the Yuan Mansion.
The secret envoy left, and after Zhao Xuanqi explained the situation to the three men, he secretly left Jinmen and headed to Shangjing.
The distance between Jinmen and Shangjing is not that far. That night, Zhao Xuanqi rushed to Shangjing.
"Resist the neon army! Vow to live and die with Shangjing!!"
In the city of Shangjing, some students were demonstrating on the street, holding banners and chanting slogans to resist neon lights. I don’t know whether it was spontaneous or deliberately organized.
However, while walking on the streets of Shangjing City, Zhao Xuanqi still keenly felt the aura of desolation and tension permeating this thousand-year-old capital of China.
The streets that were supposed to be bustling with traffic now seem a bit empty, with few pedestrians, and many shops on both sides of the streets have been closed.
The neon army is approaching, and the capable people in Shangjing City have already dragged their families and families away. Recently, Zhao Xuanqi has also felt that there has been a significant increase in the number of travelers in Jinmen, most of whom were evacuated to Jinmen from Shangjing City.
Compared to going to Beijing, Jinmen may be safer. After all, there are concessions from six countries in Tianjin. Even if the army presses on the territory, capable people may retreat to the concessions and seek shelter. Even the neon army cannot compete with the other five countries.
The country completely lost its face and the army entered the concession.
On our own land, it is the concessions of other countries that are the safest. It sounds absurd, but this is the reality.
Zhao Xuanqi did not stay too long. At this time, he had already changed his appearance with the power of body transformation, dressing up as an ordinary scholar. Soon, based on the information provided by the secret envoy, he came to a secret contact point set up by the Beidou Army.
After showing the token and identifying himself, the person in charge of this secret contact point immediately took action. First, he found a Beidou Army uniform for Zhao Xuanqi to change into, and then asked him to enter the Yuan Mansion with the staff.
.
The backyard of the Yuan Mansion is now heavily guarded. There seems to be some kind of formation arranged in the courtyard. Even with Zhao Xuanqi's spirit, he cannot sense the situation.
After the guard took him to the backyard, an acquaintance received him.
Canglongxing Meng Dongtai.
However, Meng Dongtai at this time has long lost the aura and arrogance that he had when they first met. At this moment, one of his arms is empty, his face looks a little pale, and even his body seems a little thin, and there is a look in his eyes.
It even revealed a tired look.
Click click click!!
After repelling the guards, Zhao Xuanqi's body let out an explosion, and as his flesh and blood squirmed, he returned to his normal appearance.
Looking at Zhao Xuanqi's familiar face, a very complicated look flashed in Meng Dongtai's eyes.
At the beginning, he could still regard him as his opponent, but from now on, he may never have the chance to catch up with him.
Seeing Meng Dongtai's look, Zhao Xuanqi understood what he was thinking, but he didn't say much because there were some hardships and hurdles that he had to endure by himself.
"Come with me, your adoptive father is waiting for you."
Meng Dongtai said to Zhao Xuanqi, and then turned around to lead the way.
"How is Yuan Tianhao doing now?"
Zhao Xuanqi asked.
"You'll know it when you see it."
Meng Dongtai sighed slightly, but didn't say much.
Soon, the two came to an attic.
"Father, Mr. Zhao is here."
Meng Dongtai knocked on the door lightly and said to the room.
"come in."
A voice sounded from within the room, and it was Yuan Tianhao's voice.
From the voice, Zhao Xuanqi couldn't hear anything unusual.
Crunch!
Then, Meng Dongtai reached out, pushed open the door, and made a "please" gesture to Zhao Xuanqi.
Zhao Xuanqi strode to the door and looked into the room.
Yuan Tianhao's tall figure was seen, sitting cross-legged on the futon in the center of the room. There were multiple infusion tubes around his body that were submerged into the skin, connected to some Western-style infusion devices around him. The fluid prepared in the device was not an ordinary injection.
, but a large bottle of Jinliuyu Liquid, and the infusion speed is extremely fast.
Yuan Tianhao's whole body showed a strange flush. There were seven big red candles burning in various directions around him. The flames were as red as blood. The flames were flickering, making Yuan Tianhao's body look strange.
Zhao Xuanqi had reached the realm of ghosts and gods, and he could tell at a glance that what was hanging on Yuan Tianhao's life at this time was not the large amount of golden willow and jade liquid injected into his body, but the seven burning candles.
These candles release a unique magnetic field while burning. This magnetic field is constantly stimulating the cells all over Yuan Tianhao's body, like a powerful stimulant, forcing them to become active and maintain the body's ability.
"Each of the seven-star candles is made from the life blood in my Seven-Star Life Palace, combined with a variety of precious secret medicines. It is a secret life-saving method in my Beidou Sect. As long as the brain is not dead, even if
Even if you lose half of your body, as long as you can supply enough nutrients, you can still survive and even regain some of your strength."
"However, when the seven-star candle burns out, it will be the time for my death."
"I am already dying."
Yuan Tianhao smiled and said to Zhao Xuanqi, with no fear in his eyes, only a kind of regret.
