"In Shenzhou, there is no distinction between old and young, high or low, and we will work together to pour out the water of the Yellow River, break the waves of the East China Sea, conquer the land of barbarians, destroy the lairs of Japanese slaves, defeat the bandits who bully us, and defeat the barbarians.

kill!"

"The sea is flowing across the sea, and the body is clear, and the corpses are everywhere, but the spirit can be relied on!"

The elegant old man's eyes flickered and he said softly:

"Isn't it just to let ordinary people like them live a stable life when the nation unites to fight against the barbarians?"

"The one who can make Gao Chaoen willing to die should be the bloodline of Li Tang left in the Western Region. He is extremely talented and is expected to carry the great cauldron of Li Tang."

"It's for the benefit of the Li family, so I can't bear to obey."

The corner of the envoy's mouth twitched slightly, and his heart felt cold: "Aren't the bloodline of Li Tang not the people of Shenzhou?"

The Master looked at the lake in the distance and sighed:

"So what if you are a martial arts genius? Can you save a civilization that is in danger? Can you expel the arrogant barbarians?"

"If my death is used in exchange for the Chinese land to regain its glory, I would also like to return to heaven with a smile on my face!"

Even those who have reached the realm of saints feel powerless. The collapse of Shenzhou cannot be saved by a few martial arts saints.

In this terrifying era, in this unbearable era, we need a miraculous spirit and a will that can still radiate brilliant light from the gaps in the cliff.

If it existed, he would travel millions of miles and spend his whole life there.

A Confucian scholar wearing a bamboo crown walked into the study room and said categorically:

"Gao Chaoen was loyal to the Li family all his life and would only die for the heirs of the Li family. The fact that the portrait helped to improve the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty is not enough to prove that he is of Li family blood?"

"Master, if you leave the academy, the monsters entrenched at the bottom of the Yangtze River will choose people to eat. Is it worth it for the genius of the Li family?"

"A martial arts wizard is definitely not the hope of national rejuvenation. Please come back."

The envoy turned his head and bowed before leaving.

He also subconsciously believed that the person in the portrait was of the Li family's blood. Otherwise, how could he have influenced the fate of the country and how could he have made Eunuch Gao risk his life to protect him.

But His Majesty was the only one who always believed that it was a candle in the dark room of the Central Plains, but His Majesty's words were not enough to convince the top leaders of all countries to risk their lives and go to the hinterland of the barbarians.

In the past, Duke Sun Ge of the Yan State refused, and Duke Qin of the Eastern Wu State declined politely. Now, even the highly virtuous and respected masters of Shenzhou do not accept the offer.

Only the Chinese spirit seems to be worth the price of their lives.

…

Yumen Pass, a prosperous town on the border.

A few gray-faced horse breeders sat under the tea shop and talked about their future life. When the boy with sunken cheeks and skinny skin came over, they looked at him with disdain.

"Bah, what a savage dog!"

He has dog tail braids, a beard, and two towels on his shoulders.

Liu Shang poured tea silently, letting them look at him with disgust and sarcasm.

After experiencing so much, his heart has long been as hard as iron, and no humiliation or pain can destroy it.

He climbed to Yumen Pass three days ago. He had met many people from the Central Plains, and his eyes filled with tears the moment he saw the flag of Beiliang. That wisp of spring breeze from the Divine Continent made the unattainable dream become a reality.

But he has to be patient!

How absurd and sad it would be to walk a full ninety-nine steps and not fall at the last step.

Are the few ordinary people in front of him who are overwhelmed by life worth entrusting? Is it worth him handing over the note in his clothes?

Liu Shang did not dare to gamble.

Everything still depends on yourself.

When the city gate opens in seven days, he will be able to truly step into the land of China, and the story that has been sealed for sixty-three years will be revealed to the world. The upright man will also be branded in the history of Huanghuang and become a monument that will never be bypassed in the history of China.

He stared at the distant reeds by the river and murmured in his heart: "The Central Plains is so beautiful."

…

In the lonely city, another tomb was added to the cemetery.

Gu Changan stared at the tombstone and held a peach blossom in his hand. The petals were squeezed together and bloomed in clusters on the branches, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"I was about to sink into the long night, but suddenly I saw a ray of light. I am willing to embrace the darkness until death."

He folded a peach petal and placed it in front of the grave, then walked out of the tomb without hesitation.

When he was a few dozen steps away from the watchtower, Gu Changan planted the peach branches in the loess without nourishing them with the evil energy of the abyss.

He is willing to go crazy.

The energy of heaven and earth that drove him crazy has not dissipated, so he will go to the source hundreds of miles away to completely refine it.

Only with stronger abilities can we defend this lonely city.

"Chang'an, what are you doing?" Carpenter Qin was holding a pot of wine and was about to pay homage to Eunuch Gao when he saw Gu Changan planting peach blossoms in the yellow sand.

"I'm afraid that I will hurt you. The peach blossom branch is the pillar of my soul. Seeing it will make me sober."

"From now on, the clothes and food will be placed next to the peach tree. Don't come to watch the tower. Remember to tell those naughty children not to come near me."

Gu Changan chattered while filling the peach branches with soil.

Carpenter Qin was stunned, followed by unspeakable sadness.

"Yeah." He moved his lips.

Just bringing a little fleeting hope is enough for Chang'an to break free from despair and continue to hold the torch firmly.

Without Eunuch Gao, Chang'an might have been liberated, but precisely because of Eunuch Gao, Chang'an still had to struggle in the darkness.
