Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

His calculations were so far ahead of their time that they started out subtly and gradually unfolded, but later they erupted in a way that sent chills down one's spine!

Zhao Yun's mind was filled with one thought: if he were Dong Zhuo, with 200,000 elite troops planted by the enemy hidden within the Imperial Guard, how could he possibly sleep!

"This time, Dong Zhuo will be killed at the Temple of Heaven ceremony and will no longer have the opportunity to be teleported to the palace to meet the emperor. In other words, your plan is not to kill Dong Zhuo, but for the emperor? Or perhaps for the treasures in the palace?" Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask.

He knew he wasn't from the Great Wilderness Territory, and asking such a question was extremely offensive, since it was their core secret.

However, the people from the Great Wilderness Territory, Lin Mu, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and others gave him a very kind and approachable feeling. Being with them was like a gentle breeze, which made him feel very comfortable and he overstepped his bounds.

Upon hearing this, Dian Wei didn't find anything wrong with what he said and calmly replied, "The Emperor...we don't need another Emperor...treasures are one objective, but the bigger plan is the entire Imperial Guard!!!"

"What we need are people, talented people!!"

“We need those officials in charge of ceremonies, we need eunuchs, and we need other Imperial Guards soldiers!” Dian Wei said quietly.

Hidden within his words was a special hint...

Zhao Yun was a clever man. Upon hearing Dian Wei's words, he seemed to realize something, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of horror appeared on his face...

“Zilong, we’ve known each other for a long time… I know you have lofty ambitions, I know you possess exceptional talent, and I know your future is bright… You will meet a wise ruler who will allow you to fully display your abilities. But what I want to say is, why isn’t this wise ruler our lord… Instead of wasting time searching for a wise ruler, why not join our lord now? If you join us and feel it’s not suitable, if you feel this place cannot provide you with a stage, you can leave at any time, and we will not stop you.” Dian Wei gently turned his wine bowl, speaking from the bottom of his heart.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun's face showed a hint of interest. He had actually long intended to join Lin Mu's side. However, seeing the numerous fierce generals and strategists under Lin Mu's command, he felt that joining him might bring different feelings, and there was a sense of resentment in his heart.

But now... he's gradually learning about Lin Mu and the others' plans... and with even more enemies to face in the future, there might be room for him to make his mark!
Indeed, he drew a startling conclusion from Dian Wei's words: Lin Mu wanted to establish a nation!
Zhao Yun stood up gently and paced back and forth.

Seeing this, Dian Wei said nothing more and waited quietly.

He knew that Zhao Yun had almost made up his mind; what he was thinking about now was the crisis he would face when establishing a kingdom in the Great Wilderness Territory...

Actually, the confession to Zhao Yun this time was unexpected. Lord Lin Mu originally wanted to personally and solemnly invite Zhao Yun to join the Great Wilderness territory, but unfortunately, he couldn't find him.

The Great Wilderness Territory and Zhao Yun have already formed a considerable bond and karmic connection, so their success can be considered a natural outcome.

After pacing for a while, Zhao Yun suddenly turned to Dian Wei and asked, "Gongtu, I won't fight against Gongsun Zan, will I...?"

“Our lord Lin Mu is very reasonable,” Dian Wei said with a shrug.

"Very well! After more than twenty years of wandering, I have finally met a wise ruler. I am willing to serve as Lord Lin Mu's vanguard, and from now on, I will serve him faithfully and protect him from danger. I will not hesitate to die for him!" After saying this, Zhao Yun straightened his robes and solemnly knelt on one knee in the direction of the Great Wilderness territory.

Dian Wei was overjoyed upon seeing this!

He never imagined that he would be able to bring Zhao Yun onto the Great Wilderness Territory, this great ship bound for the future, in such a setting today.

Especially at this crucial juncture when the Great Wilderness Territory is about to establish a nation, Zhao Yun's addition is like adding wings to a tiger!

Dian Wei was overjoyed and stood up with a hearty laugh. He helped Zhao Yun up, handed him a wine bowl, and then quickly filled his own bowl with wine, saying, "Good! Good! Good! With Zilong here, our Great Wilderness territory has gained another peerless general! Today, we will drink until we drop! I will report to the lord immediately. I believe the lord will celebrate greatly when he hears the news!"

A bowl of wine clinked together, spilling the liquid. The two men tilted their heads back and drank it all in one gulp, their heroic spirit filling the entire hall.

Thus, the Great Wilderness Territory welcomes its fourth Heavenly General, Zhao Zilong of Changshan, ranked second on the Heavenly Generals List!
Zhao Yun's joining the party was a long and winding road, but the final result was good.

This trip to Chang'an not only captured Diao Chan, the number one on the list of goddesses of heaven and earth, but also recruited Zhao Yun, the number two on the list of generals of heaven and earth. Perfect!!!
Where is Lin Mu right now...? He is at the very top of the Temple of Heaven, strolling around like a tourist.

Neither the people arranged by Dong Zhuo nor the people arranged by Wang Yun stopped or drove away Lin Mu when they saw him.

Lin Mu also had a strong sense of boundaries. When he saw the sacrificial treasures, he only observed them and did not touch them, much less take the offerings or fruits to eat. He strictly followed the rules.

As long as it doesn't cause any damage, what's wrong with taking a quick look?

Just as Lin Mu finished using the Tai Long Qi Observation Technique to check the attributes of a Heavenly Rank rare fruit and was about to learn about the other offerings, a vibration came from his arms.

Seeing this, Lin Mu left the altar, went to the edge, and took out the pages of the Qiankun Mother-Child Book to examine them.

When he saw the message, his pupils contracted sharply, and his whole body trembled.

His beloved Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, has actually agreed to join the Great Wilderness Territory!!!
"Gong Tu, you deserve a huge credit!!!" Lin Mu punched him hard and said excitedly.

Zhao Yun's addition will play an irreplaceable role in the major events to come!
Of the ten on the Heavenly and Earthly Generals Ranking, the Great Wilderness Territory leads by a wide margin, boasting four of them!

This advantage is unmatched by anyone!

Immediately, he raised his head and looked into the distance, where he saw a large hall among the halls below the clouds.

It was in this very hall that Zhao Yun finally agreed to join the Great Wilderness Territory!
The location of the main hall was passed down from Dian Wei.

He was anxious because he couldn't find Zhao Yun and wondered where Zhao Yun had gone or if he had joined someone else. Zhao Yun's familiarity with the Great Wilderness territory was beyond the imagination of outsiders, and he could understand why Zhao Yun hadn't joined.

He frequently invited Zhao Yun to do missions, which had the advantage of allowing them to become more familiar and closer, and also showcased the Great Wilderness Territory's strength and resources. However, there was also a downside: once Zhao Yun knew the Great Wilderness Territory's true nature, he might lose his place!

Indeed, Zhao Yun usually appears refined and gentle, but in reality, he is also very proud, though he doesn't show it outwardly.

From Zhao Yun's perspective, a powerful alliance is tempting, but he needs a stage where he can showcase his talents even more.

He had previously followed Gongsun Zan and suffered many constraints, which left him with a lingering trauma.

Now, he has finally overcome it.

After joining the Great Wilderness Territory, he will write his own legend as Zhao Zilong!

"No matter what... you're finally in my bowl!!" Lin Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud, throwing his head back.

The guards in the distance were baffled as to why General Wei had suddenly burst into manic laughter.

With Luoyang, the capital of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, as its capital, the pressure on the dynasty is considerable.

Zhao Yun's addition has made the strategic gameplay of the Great Wilderness more compatible.

After replying with a long message, Lin Mu put away the pages of the Qiankun Mother-Child Book.

He knew that now was not the time to disturb them; he would wait until the assassination of Dong Zhuo was completed before fulfilling his duty as a subject to his ruler.

Lin Mu took a deep breath, regained his composure, and continued strolling around.

……

Inside the main hall, Dian Wei received Lin Mu's message and immediately read it to Zhao Yun: "I have long regarded Zilong as my own brother. Now that he is willing to share our glory and disgrace, I will certainly not treat him unfairly. Heaven and earth bear witness!"

"After our trip to Chang'an is over, we will hold a grand banquet for ten days!"

After reading the information from the pages of the Qiankun Mother-Child Book, Dian Wei put it away, then leaned over and said enviously, "Hehe... Zilong, a ten-day grand banquet... We don't even get that kind of treatment!"

Dian Wei smiled sincerely, without any jealousy or alienation...

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun's face also beamed with an unwavering smile, and he said in a deep voice, "I am deeply grateful for everyone's care."

He did not refuse the grand welcome ceremony that lasted ten days, indicating that he was sincerely loyal to Lin Mu. Whether it was ten days or three days, he would be happy.

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. Wang Yun led ten guards in and quickly entered, bowing and reporting: "It's almost time... You two, please change into the attire of the Xuanjia Sword-wielding official... Also, these are two talismans to conceal the secrets of heaven and aura. Use them immediately after changing your clothes."

Upon hearing this, Dian Wei's expression turned serious. According to the previous agreement, he and Zhao Yun should have stayed by Wang Yun's side. After the uprising, they were to jump out and block the Tongtian Black Dragon.

But why do I have to become a sword-wielding official now?!
The sword-wielding official, isn't that the very same official who recently incited Dong Zhuo to violence...?

At that time, many ministers will wait below the altar of the Temple of Heaven for Dong Zhuo to perform the sacrificial ceremony. Apart from Lü Bu and some officials in charge of rites, even Wang Yun will not be allowed to go up to the altar or the steps.

In other words, it seems the plan has changed somewhat!

Dian Wei and Zhao Yun exchanged a glance, both showing a look of confusion.

"That old scoundrel Dong Zhuo is already a Heavenly General!!" As if knowing their doubts, he immediately explained.

"With Lü Bu alone, it might not be possible to kill Dong Zhuo quickly... If he escapes or holds out until reinforcements arrive, then things will be terrible."

"Therefore, your top priority now is to assist Lü Bu in killing Dong Zhuo as quickly as possible!!!"

Upon hearing this, Dian Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, a strange glint flashing across them.

To gang up on and kill Dong Zhuo was not part of the plan at all!

Moreover, he knew that there were many follow-up plans for the Great Wilderness Territory, and that participating in the assassination of Dong Zhuo would have a huge impact on those plans.

Because the Great Wilderness Territory has a plan: after Dong Zhuo's death, the remaining Xiliang cavalry and Xiliang generals will be talents that can be recruited!

If they had truly participated in the assassination of Dong Zhuo, it would have been tantamount to offending other Xiliang generals, which would have been detrimental to their subsequent plans.

(Hooray!!! Zhao Yun has finally arrived!!!) (End of Chapter)
