Chapter 235: The Tip of the Iceberg
"Is there anything wrong?" Guo Hao looked at the flashing and glowing ball Yu Ji, and always thought of a kind of big light ball called funny. It looked quite interesting, especially after Yu Ji transformed into a pair of eyes and a mouth, the funny feeling was beyond words.
"I heard that the evil man is bewitching people and causing chaos everywhere. I am willing to share the worries for the general!" Yu Ji decisively began to surrender. He felt that if he didn't run away, he would be doomed.
Although he didn't know where the evil thought came from, the feeling was very strong. As an immortal, he trusted his feelings very much.
Guo Hao didn't think much about it. With the help of Nanhua, he put Yu Ji under restrictions and then released him. At this point, he still didn't know what Yu Ji had done to get him arrested.
Yu Ji has made something similar to a military order. If Yu Ji starts to mess around, Zuo Ci and Nan Hua will have a thousand ways to kill him, even if Yu Ji has a secret technique. After all, it was Yu Ji who personally handed his handle to the two of them. At their level, they can basically crush them with the handle in their hands.
Guo Hao thought that the environment of the White Lotus Sect was rather complicated, so he decided to release Yu Ji. He thought that letting Yu Ji, who was also good at bewitching others, go might have a miraculous effect.
With Zuo Ci's regretful expression, Yu Ji fled and flew towards the White Lotus's territory. He was an expert at bewitching people, so he was not worried about the failure of the mission at all.
The fact was just as Ji expected. As soon as he arrived at the White Lotus's territory, he felt the presence of the power of bewitching. It was such a low-level method that even a random divine warrior could feel the disharmonious atmosphere, let alone him.
Yu Ji skillfully bewitched the White Lotus followers, and then followed the clues to the middle and high-level leaders. Then he rushed to Qingzhou without thinking. It would be too slow for him to resolve the bewitching one by one, so it would be faster to catch the main culprit once and for all.
These are all tricks he has left over. If he is given enough time, he can achieve the same effect, and it will definitely be more secretive than the White Lotus Sect.
But no matter how secretive he is, it is just like that. With Lu Bu, the nemesis of immortals, around, he can't make any big waves.
Yu Ji could imagine that if he did not volunteer, the mastermind behind the White Lotus Sect would definitely encounter Lu Bu, the god of death, and be killed with one halberd.
Originally, immortals like them have many backups and secret techniques. Even if they are killed, they can just change their bodies and be resurrected.
If the body of an immortal is likened to an account, the immortals are the software, and it doesn't matter as long as the software changes as many accounts as possible.
But if you are killed by Lu Bu, it is not a matter of changing your account. It is possible that your computer will freeze. Not to mention changing your account, you may even have to change your computer.
Yu Ji shook his head and put the ferocious image of Lu Bu out of his mind, concentrating on thinking of a perfect way to deal with the White Lotus Sect.
The scope of the White Lotus Sect's influence is too wide. If he relies on himself to remove the bewitching power from the believers, it may take one or two years to clean it up, and there may even be some that slip through the net.
The military order he issued was a perfect solution to the problem. If there were one or two fish that slipped through the net, he might be caught by Zuo Ci and used to fill the hole.
Yu Ji finally got the chance to regain his freedom, so he didn't want to be cheated.
On the other hand, after seeing Yu Ji off, Guo Hao ran to the Government Affairs Office. It was a message from Li Ru.
Jiang Wei and Zhang Ji returned to Luoyang, accompanied by the Yulin Army.
It is said that Jiang Wei and Zhang Ji met by chance in the Western Regions that day and then traveled together from the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions through Liangzhou and headed straight to Luoyang.
Originally, Li Ru was going to handle it privately, but Chen Xi took the initiative to ask Jiang Wei and Zhang Ji to talk about the situation in the Western Regions in the Government Affairs Hall. After all, they were the first group of people who went out of the Han Dynasty in recent years, and they also recovered the Western Regions. Chen Xi felt that they should be written about it.
At the same time, this kind of personal experience was also used to make certain counselors make up their minds as soon as possible and stop wavering between the aristocratic families and the imperial court.
When Guo Hao arrived, Zhang Ji was talking incessantly about what they had seen and heard in the Western Regions. Of course, he was mostly bragging about how their Xiliang Iron Cavalry had defeated the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions. He didn't say a single word of the really important news.
Anyway, the counselors were dealing with official documents while listening to Zhang Ji bragging, and they were able to do two things at once quite harmoniously.
Seeing Guo Hao taking the main position, Zhang Ji stopped talking nonsense and began to seriously introduce the situation outside the Western Regions.
"You have already started fighting?" Chen Xi was surprised. Li Jue and his men had run too far with the Xiliang Cavalry.
"Yes, Parthia is not weak. There are three double-talented legions outside the main battlefield alone." Zhang Ji cleverly revealed the problem of the Northern Huns. His political awareness was much stronger than Li Jue and others. The matter of the Northern Huns was too big, and he really didn't dare to talk nonsense before he informed Li Ru.
"There are nearly one million people on the main battlefield, which is only slightly larger than Hulao Pass." Jiang Wei added that he wanted to finish the report quickly and then report to Guo Hao about the matter of Guanjun Hou.
With the reports from Zhang Ji and Jiang Wei, each with their own concerns, the tip of the iceberg of the empire emerged in front of the counselors. In particular, the courage of Zhang Ji and Jiang Wei, who had already begun fighting for the country, made them even more frightened.
Originally, the advisers were skeptical about the world described by Chen Xi, and they were also skeptical about the empire described by Chen Xi.
But when they saw the tip of the iceberg of the empire, they were still shocked by the empire's foundation. An empire that was almost dying had at least two to three million troops, and the number of double-talented legions was even more than that of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, everyone present was a smart man, and they saw through Zhang Ji and Jiang Wei's concealment at a glance.
It is precisely because of this insight that they understand the meaning of it better, which proves that the real battlefield is definitely more terrifying than what Zhang Ji and others revealed.
They did not believe that Parthia, also an empire, would not have a Legion of the Soul, nor did they believe that the Roman expeditionary force would be the full strength of Rome.
Even Chen Xi was a little confused. As a similar empire, Parthia must have a large number of players. Even so, it couldn't stop Rome?
Rome is now fighting on two fronts. I wonder if it can defeat Parthia with only one-third of its strength. How strong is Rome?
After Guo Hao took Zhang Ji and Jiang Wei away, everyone in the Government Affairs Hall began to discuss with each other through telepathy.
They all knew that Zhang Ji and Jiang Wei were hiding something, but they didn't know how much.
"Okay! Everyone, it's time to make up your mind!" Chen Xi clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and then said solemnly.
"I will go to the Chen family in Yingchuan tomorrow. It's time to make a final decision. Li Jue and the others have already started fighting for the country, and I don't want to hold them back." Although Chen Xi didn't want to go back, he had to take this step for the sake of the overall situation.
He subdued Chen Qun, became the new head of the Chen family, and then invested the Chen family in the construction of the empire.
It can also be regarded as an example to other counselors. They will eventually have to make a choice, and compared with the prosperous empire, the aristocratic families seem to be on the decline. Everyone in the Government Affairs Office is aware of this, but after all, these are the families that raised them, and they really don't want this to happen.
"Forget it! I will go with you, Zichuan, tomorrow!" Xun Yu sighed and finally made a decision. Cutting off the tail early was also for the better development of the family, and the pain was inevitable.
