Who are you calling a stable boy?!

"Work? What time is it now? Do you think everyone can lie around and live like a pampered young master like you?"

Ye waved his hand without turning his head.

She was indeed going to handle her daily official duties.

However, there was one more task for the team today than usual.

"Should we add more squads?"

—In the morning, in the First Division meeting room, among the thirteen captains gathered there, Yoruichi spoke first in response to the words of Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

"To be precise, it is to establish a special operations team."

Beside Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the sagabe, having received permission, spoke in a clear and melodious voice.

"Given that Hueco Mundo has launched organized and malicious attacks on Soul Society more than once, and that there may still be survivors among the expeditionary force that went to Hueco Mundo back then, a special operations team will be established to be stationed in Hueco Mundo in the future. Their job is to monitor suspicious activities in Hueco Mundo on the front line and to rescue any survivors that may exist among the expeditionary force."

"Considering the formidable strength of Zheng Jing, a member of the First Division, and his successful return after operating alone in Hueco Mundo for over a year, the captain of this special operations team will be Zheng Jing, a current member of the First Division."

"For the next six months, Zheng Jing will have the authority to forcibly recruit all members of each squad except for the captains and vice-captains, and may recruit members under the organizational conditions permitted by the Special Operations Team."

"Six months from now, we will restart the expedition to Hueco Mundo using a special portal and dispatch a special operations team to officially enter Hueco Mundo."

"During this period, each division should do its best to cooperate with Special Operations Team Captain Zheng Jing. In particular, the Twelfth Division should prioritize future research on how to create a dedicated portal that is more suitable for traveling between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo."

"—The above is the decision of the Central 46th Bureau."

After speaking, the Sparrow Division bowed to the captains and retreated behind Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

"Decide?"

Yoruichi frowned deeply.

"What do you mean? The 46th Chamber still believes Zheng Jing is guilty? Even if he is, this so-called decision has clearly gone beyond the scope of a verdict!"

On the surface, the 46th Chamber has the right to arbitrate the sins committed by the Grim Reaper in the Court.

In reality, the 46 Chambers have the right to "deliberate" on all matters, large and small, within the Seireitei whenever they wish.

Yoruichi's words make sense, in theory.

But......

"Commander-in-Chief?"

She looked at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

What Yoruichi wanted at that moment was not an explanation.

She wanted to see the old man stand up and refute the injustice done to Room 46.

—Because Room 46's decision was truly malicious.

Leaving aside how to research a stable portal between Hueco Mundo and Soul Society in six months, it would be almost the same as exiling Zheng Jing to Hueco Mundo.

The mere fact that this so-called special operations team had the power to forcibly conscript people revealed a sinister motive that ignited her anger.

Anyone with a clear head can see that this special operations team is similar to the expeditionary force of yesteryear; going to Hueco Mundo means facing a near-certain death.

How many people would believe Zheng Jing's claim during his trial in Room 46 that he beat the King of Hueco Mundo so badly he couldn't lift his head?

In other words, once the decision of the 46th Chamber is truly conveyed, in the eyes of the soldiers below the vice-captain of each squad, Zheng Jing will most likely be no different from a jinx.

At first glance, it seems that they were worried that Zheng Jing would encounter many difficulties on his journey, so they gave him a powerful force. But in reality, it was a treacherous plan to isolate Zheng Jing by 80%—no, maybe 90%—of the soldiers in the court!

These sons of bitches are shameless when they resort to tricks!

While cursing Room 46 in her heart, Yoruichi couldn't hide the urgency on her face.

But meeting her expectant gaze, the old man with the cane spoke calmly, "Now that the Forty-Sixth Chamber has made its judgment, we shall carry it out. As for the Special Operations Team, Captain Sifeng, you shall convey this to Zheng Jing. Tomorrow morning, summon him here to receive his post. At that time, all of you must bring your deputy captains to the meeting."

As he spoke, he looked up at the group of team leaders.

"Gentlemen, does anyone have any objections to this?"

Silence.

Yoruichi took a deep breath.

She knew that arguing here was pointless.

Right now, if it's truly for Zheng Jing's good, she should go back and tell him the news as soon as possible.

Oh, and we should also invite Aizen and Kisuke...

Thinking this, Yoruichi frowned and remained silent.

"very good."

The old man looked around and nodded slightly.

"The meeting is adjourned for today."

A short while later, after the captains left, only Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Suzakube remained in the First Division's meeting room.

"Lord Genryuzai..."

Looking at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's retreating figure, Suzakube knew that the old man was experiencing a surge of emotions.

Because he witnessed firsthand how furious the old man was when he received the verdict from Room 46.

"...Chōjirō".

"exist!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni did not turn back.

The captain's back suddenly seemed to hunch over a little.

“Take good care of him.”

"Yes!"

Chapter 139: Urahara A-Meng, bring your talent to me!

"Hey, I thought it was something serious, calling for both Lao Lan and Zhu Zi."

After listening to Yoruichi tell him about the establishment of a special operations team, Zheng Jingyi waved his hand.

"Gorilla Sutra! Don't take this lightly. This is clearly a trap set by the Chamber of Forty-Six. They not only want to exile you to Hueco Mundo, but they also want to cut off your path back to Seireitei!"

Yoruichi patted the tatami mat in front of her forcefully.

Zheng Jing scratched his cheek.

It's nothing more than going to Hueco Mundo again. Even if it really is a surprise attack by the Chamber of Forty-Six, he doesn't think there's anything to be afraid of.

Not to mention, the final verdict that ended up in the old man's hands was decided by him and Lao Lan.

—Yes, this morning he seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but he was actually using the friend communication function on the panel to chat privately with Lao Lan.

The contents of that judgment were drafted by Lao Lan last night. This morning, after we finalized the decision by chatting with him, the official document was issued and finally ended up in the old man's hands.

In other words, the establishment of this special operations team was originally Zheng Jing and Aizen's idea.

Unaware that the two people in front of her were the masterminds behind the scenes, Yoruichi was so angry when she saw that Zheng Jing still looked indifferent that she pounced on him and grabbed his face.

"It's one thing if your muscle-bound brain can't understand all these convoluted things, but Aizen, why can't you understand them at all—"

Yoruichi suddenly paused in her speech.

She just grabbed Zheng Jing's face, looked at Aizen, then at Zheng Jing, and then her expression changed.

Yoruichi realized something was wrong.

To be honest, Zheng Jing really didn't take this trouble seriously, according to Yoruichi Shin.

But if you say Zheng Jing suffered a loss, Aizen wouldn't take it seriously; he wouldn't believe it at all that night.

She witnessed firsthand how Aizen spent the year or so that Zheng Jing was away.

"Aizen, did you anticipate this possibility all along?"

Upon hearing this, Aizen smiled.

"That's giving me too much credit, Captain Shifengyuan. I just believe what Old Zheng said."

"What did he say?"

Yoruichi frowned, muttered something, and then seemed to suddenly remember something.

"You—you really beat up that King of Hueco Mundo in Hueco Mundo?"

Turning back, Ye Yi leaned closer and stared into Zheng Jing's golden eyes, squeezing his face hard and asking in a deep voice.

"Did I, Old Zheng, ever brag to you?"

Zheng Jing winked at her.

"..."

Yoruichi released her grip, sat cross-legged in front of Zheng Jing, and exhaled.

"Explain it more clearly."

"It's a long story."

"Then let's make this short!"

"Well, there's a Vasto Lorde in Hueco Mundo who claims to be the King of Hueco Mundo. I fought that old devil and beat him down."

“Bylegan…”

Yoruichi touched her chin.

She recognized the name.

In a past great battle, a Vastodon that was killed by Kenpachi Kuruyashiki mentioned this name before it died. This was recorded in Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's battle report after the battle.

Yoruichi remembered that at the end of that report, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki offered his personal opinion, believing that Barragan was very likely an admiral in Hueco Mundo.

She wasn't sure if the Barragan Zheng Jing had encountered was the same one, and even if Zheng Jing described it to her in detail, it wouldn't matter, because in her memory, the Criminal Army had no detailed information about this so-called Barragan.

However, knowing that it is a Vastode-class is enough for Yoruichi now.

"You...have already mastered Bankai?"

Yoruichi stared at Zheng Jing and asked.

No, that's not the case.

Zheng Jing shook his head.

Yoruichi rubbed her temples and let out a slightly painful groan.

A Shinigami who had not mastered Bankai defeated a Vasto Lorde all by himself.

She could only not laugh out loud if these words came from the mouth of the guy in front of her.

"that......"

Urahara tentatively raised his hand and spoke up.

Zheng Jing leaned over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Say what you want to say! Zhuzi, there are no outsiders here!"

"Uh, okay, okay, in short, can we assume that Senior Zheng Jing is indeed capable of protecting himself in Hueco Mundo?"

"It's 'Zongheng'! Do you understand, Zhuzi? Zongheng!"

"Alright, all sorts of things... In short, given that Senior Zheng Jing's previous method of returning to Soul Society can be completely replicated, at least we don't need to worry too much about safety."

"How can you be so optimistic?"

Resting her chin on her hand, Yoruichi said in a low voice, "Putting aside how unreliable it is to capture an Adjuchas to talk nonsense, the portal used for the expedition was a product of a rush. I read when I was researching that the passage formed by that thing was extremely unstable. The expeditionary force at the time even had to be prepared for casualties just by crossing the passage, and they only cared about going and not coming back."

"So many years have passed since then, and in order to cover up their mistake of forming the expeditionary force, the 46th Chamber even forbade the 12th Division from continuing their research on special interdimensional portals. If it weren't for this incident with the Great Ape Sutra..."

At this point, Yoruichi suddenly paused.

Then he looked at Urahara.

"Wait! Kisuke, I remember you before..."

Urahara gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

"There have been some results."
