The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 528: Yecheng’s Makeshift Team

"Okay, we know what's going on." Zhang Liao held his forehead with his hand. He knew it was like this. Since returning to Bingzhou and taking back the Hetao area, Lu Bu's mentality seemed to have been sublimated. He was either going out to fight the Hu people or staying at home practicing martial arts and appreciating Diao Chan's dance.

“Isn’t it just a secret technique to break the light and shadow obstruction? I will come up with a way to break it.” Lu Bu’s eyes were about to spit fire. He was the world’s number one boundary-breaking warrior, so how could he not be able to handle a secret technique to break the light and shadow obstruction?

"By the way, Fengxian, make a special version of the super-speed recovery secret technique that allows you to recharge your internal energy in your spare time. It may be used in the next war against the Northern Huns." Gao Shun reminded Lu Bu.

"Okay, no problem. Let me add a super-fast recovery secret technique that can be recharged at leisure." Lu Bu readily accepted the task assigned by Gao Shun, and even considered whether he could develop it.

"Let's go. Let's go back to Langjuxu Mountain Lake and erect a monument." Zhang Liao greeted Lu Bu and Gao Shun, and returned to Langjuxu Mountain Lake on a white horse. He wanted to follow the example of the former Champion Marquis and erect a monument at Langjuxu Mountain Lake.

"Carve stone!" Lu Bu and Gao Shun's eyes lit up and they instantly realized what Zhang Liao wanted to do. They immediately caught up with Zhang Liao and said that if they talked about carving stone in Langjuxu Mountain, they would not be sleepy anymore.

Afterwards, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao set up a stone tablet beside the lake on Langjuxu Mountain, and inscribed on it: Anyone who is not recognized by the Han Dynasty will be killed without mercy if he crosses this lake!

After erecting a monument to worship the heaven at the Huns' sacred site, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun returned to Bingzhou with their troops. They had no idea what impact their actions at the Langjuxu Mountain and Lake would have on the Northern Huns.

However, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were old enemies, so there was nothing wrong with what Lu Bu did, although the history books only briefly summarized the results.

After returning to Bingzhou, they found Chen Gong and told him everything they had encountered on the grassland. Chen Gong and Hu Zhao scolded the three of them, asking why they were not included in such a group activity!

Chen Gong, who missed the chance to be recorded in history books, had a dark face. He sent the situation of Lü Bu and his men to Liu Bei in the Central Plains, and then began to prepare for the revenge of the Northern Huns. After all, Lü Bu not only blew up the Wolf Mountain, but also offered sacrifices to the heavens at the Wolf Mountain Lake...

……

Time returns to the present.

"Hiss, the commotion on the grassland a few days ago was indeed caused by that guy Lu Bu." Liu Bei looked at the news in the intelligence document about Lu Bu breaking the limit and achieving breakthrough, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

The pillar of light that pierced the sky and the earth a few days ago was seen even by him who was in Luoyang. Although he didn't know whether the pillar of light was caused by Lu Bu breaking through the realm or by Lu Bu sinking the Wolf Mountain, the pillar of light did make all the powerful people with out-of-body energy recognize Lu Bu as the best realm breaker in the world.

"Lord Xuande, now we are not focusing on the problem of Lu Fengxian, but the problem of the Northern Huns. We should gather our army and head north." Li You said with a headache. The plan to take Chang'an first and then the Northern Huns had failed.

However, thinking on the bright side, it is not a bad thing that the Northern Huns are defeated early. It is just right to defeat the Northern Huns this time. With the military merits of defeating the Northern Huns, how can Liu Xie have the face to stay on the throne of emperor?

"Yes, the matter of the Northern Huns is the most important." Liu Bei lowered his head and continued to read the records in the document.

"Hiss, they sank the Wolf Mountain, carved a stone tablet and erected a monument, and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth under the tablet!" Liu Bei had never seen anyone so arrogant, but he liked it.

"Wenhe, tell Yunchang to gather the army and march north. At the same time, inform the Han Dynasty of the reappearance of the Northern Xiongnu." Liu Bei paused and continued, "Also inform the Han Dynasty of the fact that Lü Fengxian sank into the Wolf's Lair Mountain and carved a stone tablet to offer sacrifices to the heavens."

"Yes." Jia Xu looked at Liu Bei in surprise, and then took the order and left. He thought Liu Bei would not add what Lu Bu did at Langjuxu Mountain.

"Wenru, come with me back to Yecheng to find Zichuan and the others." Liu Bei looked at Li You, who was frowning as he looked at the intelligence in his hand. The Northern Huns were able to insert their own people into the Western Xianbei army at will... This was no trivial matter.

"Wenru?" Liu Bei frowned slightly and called Li You again.

"Follow Lord Xuande's arrangements." Li Ru came back to his senses.

"What were you thinking about just now that made you lose your mind?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

"I was wondering how the Northern Huns placed their own people into the Xianbei Legion to serve as the backbone." Li You expressed his thoughts.

"!" Liu Bei also realized the seriousness of the matter. What was the biggest shortcoming of the Xiongnu? It was the population base. The population of the Northern Xiongnu was only 700,000. With a population base of only 700,000, what could the Northern Xiongnu use to fight the Han Dynasty?
"Lord Xuande does not need to worry too much about this problem. The Northern Huns infiltrated their people into the other tribes. Although this solved the manpower problem, it also reduced the combat effectiveness of the Northern Huns headquarters. Moreover, those Hu people whose will to resist was aroused by the Northern Huns may not be able to strengthen their will to resist." Li Ru analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this move by the Northern Huns.

"That's true." Liu Bei thought about it and felt that Li You was right. Besides, even if the Northern Huns had other plans, wouldn't they go north?
"Let's go back to Yecheng and tell Zichuan and the others about this." Liu Bei said, and was about to grab Li You's shoulders, wanting to fly back to Yecheng with him.

Li You's mouth twitched as he watched Liu Bei's actions, but he still did not avoid Liu Bei's hand. He let Liu Bei grab his shoulders and carry him into the sky, leaving Luoyang for Yecheng.

"Take me with you!" Jia Xu was dumbfounded when he saw Liu Bei and Li You flying into the sky. Did these two guys forget about him?
"I seem to have forgotten to bring something." Liu Bei looked down at the Luoyang City which was still under reconstruction, and always felt that he seemed to have forgotten to bring something.

Although he was captured by Liu Bei, Li You still looked calm. Even though he had learned the secret flying technique developed by Yang Ji earlier, since Liu Bei wanted to take him, he would not refuse. After all, Yang Ji's secret flying technique was much slower than the flying speed of the internal Qi leaving the body.

When Liu Bei asked about forgetting to bring something, Li You of course knew what Liu Bei had forgotten to bring. However, since they had already taken off, there was no need to worry about Jia Xu. Jia Xu himself also knew the secret art of flying and would be able to catch up with them in Yecheng soon.

It was not until they landed in Ye that Liu Bei slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oh no, I forgot about Wenhe."

"Lord Xuande, Wenhe also knows the secret art of flying. He will catch up with us soon. You don't need to worry about him." Li You said calmly, but one could still see a little paleness on Li You's face. After all, Liu Bei had burst out at his maximum speed in order to save time.

If Li You had not learned the secret art of flying and often ran to high altitudes to overlook the earth, and learned to use mental barriers to block air resistance in the process of high altitude jumping, Li You's face would probably be even paler.

"That's true." Liu Bei nodded in agreement with Li You, then explained a few words to the staff at the landing field, and then took Li You to the Government Affairs Hall of Yecheng. When the two of them arrived at the Government Affairs Hall, they were surprised to find that senior officials such as Chen Xi had already gathered in the main hall.

"Zichuan, have you also received the news from the northern border?" Liu Bei opened the door of the main hall and asked Chen Xi directly.

"Huh?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei who suddenly appeared in the Government Affairs Hall in astonishment, then stood up and saluted Liu Bei, and the others followed Chen Xi's actions.

"Alright, alright." Liu Bei waved his hand and continued, "I want to ask you if you have received any news from the Northern Huns?"

"It must be the message sent to Lord Xuande from Bingzhou." Chen Xi also understood why Liu Bei suddenly returned to Yecheng from Luoyang.

"It seems so. By the way, where did you receive the news about the Northern Huns?" Liu Bei asked curiously. Logically speaking, Chen Xi and the others should not have received the news faster than him. After all, Jia Xu, who was in charge of the northern border intelligence line, was right next to him.

"Zi Yu sent a phantom over here, and it was he who told us about the Wolf Mountain." Chen Xi said casually.

"Zi Yu?" Liu Bei was stunned. Wasn't Yang Ji building a road in Yizhou? How could he receive intelligence from the northern border? That was Yizhou, and he received it almost at the same time as him.

"He said that he witnessed Lu Fengxian breaking his limits and becoming a demigod. He also witnessed Lu Fengxian lighting up the Wolf Mountain like a firework to celebrate his breakthrough." The expression on Chen Xi's face was quite subtle. What the hell, he lit up the Wolf Mountain like a firework.

"..." Liu Bei was silent, as if he remembered something. He took out the intelligence document sent by Jia Xu's intelligence line and checked the date on it.

"When did Zi Yu send his phantom body over here?" Liu Bei pressed his forehead lightly. Chen Xi and the others didn't even notify him.

"Just a few days ago, after Lu Fengxian broke through the boundary and the strange phenomenon occurred, less than two hours later, Zi Yu's phantom body was sent over." Chen Xi remembered one thing. It seemed that no one of them sent the news to Liu Bei.

"Then why did I receive the news only now? And it was sent by Bingzhou Beijia." Liu Bei squinted and looked around. He didn't believe that these people had forgotten about this matter.

"Fengxiao, didn't you send the news to Luoyang?" Chen Xi turned his head and looked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia, like Jia Xu, was in charge of intelligence. The intelligence lines under Liu Bei's rule were basically transferred in the hands of these two people.

"You don't have it either?" Guo Jia was dumbfounded. It was Chen Xi who told them the news of Yang Ji's illusion. As a result, Chen Xi notified them but did not inform Liu Bei and the other two who were in Luoyang.

Everyone in the main hall of the Government Affairs Department looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that people of their level could actually make such a mistake.

"Well, Lord Xuande, this matter is my fault." Chen Xi took the blame awkwardly. Although Guo Jia was also to blame, he should still take it.

Liu Bei looked at these people in the Government Affairs Hall with great pain, and could not understand why the area under his rule had developed to its current scale.

Because of the Northern Huns, Yuan Shao and others who came to the Government Affairs Hall to listen in watched the farce happening in front of them expressionlessly. It was this group of guys who were like a joke that easily defeated them?
"Huh." Yuan Shao sighed softly. Liu Bei was able to defeat him with the help of such a group of people. He didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, just remember to fill this loophole." Liu Bei said helplessly. What else could he do? He could only try to accept it. After all, the fact that Yang Ji would send his phantom body to the grassland to witness the sinking of Wolf Mountain was not a controllable event.

"By the way, did Zi Yu say why he sent his phantom body to the grassland?" Liu Bei asked excitedly. He was quite curious about Yang Ji's purpose.

"I also asked him, and he said that he was going to witness the birth of the world's first boundary-breaking warrior." Chen Xi said with a dry laugh. What happened just now was over.

"Is he so idle?" This was Liu Bei's first reaction. After all, the construction of Micang Road was not an easy project, especially the second half, otherwise Yang Ji would not have left two months for the second half.

"He's not a worker, of course he's idle." Chen Xi curled his lips. Yang Ji's work on the construction site was similar to his work in the Government Affairs Department. He was a project planner. After the plan was completed, Yang Ji only needed to keep an eye on the project progress. After all, building a road, how much technical content could there be, especially the way Yang Ji built roads.

"In other words, his situation is similar to yours in the Government Affairs Office?" Liu Bei thought thoughtfully.

"...I think so. After all, I have never seen what he looks like on the construction site." Chen Xi smiled awkwardly. It seems that he has to pretend to be busy recently.

Liu Bei noticed Chen Xi's evasive eyes and wanted to say something to Chen Xi, but he didn't know what to say. After all, Chen Xi's superb level of housekeeping ensured that Chen Xi had enough time to slack off.

Chen Xi remembered to stay at the Government Affairs Office until after get off work before leaving, which was already giving face to everyone. After all, Chen Xi could not be allowed to interfere in the government affairs that were within the responsibilities of others.

Liu Bei sighed and said to Chen Xi, "Can you contact Zi Yu now? If you can, ask him to send a phantom over here right now. There are some things that need his confirmation."

"The ultra-long-range short text transmission secret stakes in Yecheng have been set up. Although it is still being debugged, it can be used." Chen Xi nodded. Yang Ji can use his phantom clone to pass messages to whoever he wants, but ordinary people like them can't do that.

Even after more than two months, ordinary people like them still had no way of understanding how Yang Ji's phantom clone had done it.

It's not that they can't do something like condensing phantom warriors. After all, Yang Ji has turned many of his talents into mystical arts. With their abilities, it is relatively simple for them to master such mystical arts.

However, it is not something they can do to send their phantom bodies all over the world like Yang Ji did.
