After a stick of incense.
Three figures walked out of the royal study.
This meeting was pretty much what Lin Qiye had imagined. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty commended Huo Qubing and gave him a large amount of gold and manpower to form the Evil Suppression Division. He then wanted to befriend Lin Qiye and give him some territory and titles, but Huo Qubing was still rejected. He stopped him and after some persuasion, he was only rewarded five hundred taels of gold.
After leaving the imperial study, Lin Qiye and Huo Qubing's expressions showed no change. On the other hand, Chloe looked dejected all the way, with resentment on her face.
"You should give up the idea of establishing a religion in the Han Dynasty. Your ideas are not suitable here." Lin Qiye couldn't help but feel a little amused when he saw Chloe's expression and comforted him softly.
"Alas..." Chloe said helplessly, "The Han Dynasty has a large population and a vast territory. If we leave here, we don't know how long it will take to find a suitable place."
Chloe's steps suddenly stopped, as if she thought of something, she grabbed Lin Qiye's sleeve.
"Hey, didn't you come from the future? Did I succeed in your time?"
Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows and said, "Very successful."
Hearing this answer, Chloe's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then can you tell me, where did I succeed? Where should I go?"
Lin Qiye opened his mouth and was about to say something, then he hesitated and said, "Wait a moment."
Lin Qiye raised his fingertips slightly. In his field of vision, a thread of cause and effect floated out from his fingertips and extended into the void. His brows were furrowed, as if he was calculating something.
After a moment, he put away the thread of cause and effect, shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't tell you this, otherwise I will not only be involved in huge cause and effect, but also change the course of history... You can only explore it yourself."
Outside Chang'an City, Lin Qiye had realized that his actions might be a destined part of history, but this did not mean that all his actions were within this category.
For example, if he had just slashed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with a sword in the Imperial Study Room, the history of the Han Dynasty would have undergone earth-shaking changes, and maybe everything in the future would be in chaos. Of course, it is impossible for a normal Lin Qiye to do such a thing, so this possibility has not happened in history.
Lin Qiye has been thinking, why is he the only one who can return to this era
Now he already has a guess, because in the future, Chloe will send anyone back to this era, which will be accompanied by great risks, because this era is too far away from the future, and every move here has It may cause earth-shaking changes in the future. Even if he burns a book casually, it may cause the demise of a certain school of thought in later generations.
And once he realizes this, he will inevitably be restrained in doing things, and he will not even dare to kill anyone, because he does not know whether what he does is part of history or will have an impact on the future.
But Lin Qiye is different. He has [Unprovoked Cause] and [Determined Effect]. He can judge whether it will affect the future through the cause and effect caused by his own actions. He is the only one who can move freely in this era, and can People who avoid causal changes.
"All right… "
Although Chloe was a little frustrated when Lin Qiye refused to reveal it, she was still full of hope for the future after knowing that she was destined to succeed.
"His Majesty has approved the establishment of the Evil Suppression Department. I should be busy with this matter in the next few days." Huo Qubing turned to look at Lin Qiye, "Lin Qiye, is the matter you want to prepare urgent? If you are in a hurry, I will I’ll do some business with you first, and then I’ll go back to Chang’an to get busy.”
"There's no rush." Lin Qiye waved his hand, "The most important thing is to establish the Evil Suppression Department. If you need my help, just ask."
There are still more than two thousand years before Lin Qiye's era, so naturally he is not in a hurry for these two days, and Lin Qiye must first find a way to deal with the problem that his mental strength cannot withstand [Unprovoked Cause] and [Determined Effect] , he doesn’t want to kill himself and go crazy before the thing is done.
After last night's battle, Lin Qiye did feel a little mentally exhausted. Those two abilities put too much load on his brain. It can be seen that the two-month period mentioned by the little boy was already the most optimistic estimate.
Huo Qubing thought seriously for a moment, "There is indeed a place that needs your help."
"What?"
"There are a lot of things that need to be dealt with to form the Evil Suppression Department, but the total number of our current members is only about ten... there is a bit of manpower shortage." Huo Qubing paused for a moment.
"I have issued a recruitment order for foreigners to the world. A large number of foreigners will come to Chang'an in the past few days. However, among them there must be people who fish in troubled waters, and there are also people who are not suitable for joining the Suppression of Evil Division. I hope you can help me. The Evil Suppression Department selects suitable candidates for the aliens as our first batch of members."
"Selecting foreigners... no problem."
Lin Qiye nodded in agreement without much hesitation. Identifying aliens, rating abilities, and testing core values may be a big trouble for people of this era, but for Lin Qiye, they are not difficult at all.
After all, he was also a training camp instructor, and now he has [Unprovoked] to help him. In every aspect, he is far ahead of the strangers of this era.
"By the way, does this have no effect on your cause and effect?" Huo Qubing asked worriedly.
"It doesn't matter." Lin Qiye smiled, "Anyway, I just met and screened them. I only met them once at most. I have my own way to deal with such a little cause and effect."
Huo Qubing nodded, "I will give you an address. The place where foreigners are screened is right there... I estimate that everything can be handled in up to four days."
…
An hour later.
Squeak!
The heavy house door was slowly pushed open, and the dry and cracked leaves on the ground were blown up by the wind. Withered branches grew crookedly in the courtyard. Spider webs and mouse holes were all over the corner house. There was no life at all as far as the eye could see.
"Brother Qiye, are you sure...this is the Zhenxie Department?"
Wu Quan looked at the ancient house in front of him that had been abandoned for an unknown period of time, and asked with a strange expression.
"The Suppression of Evil Division is independent of the court and is composed of strangers. Of course, the more secretive the better, how come it is located in Chang'an?" Lin Qiye shook his head, "The Marquis has already taken people to the valley to select a site. We have established the Si Yamen, this is just a place to select foreigners."
The true location of the Evil Suppression Department must not be easily known to the world. Unless the stranger really passes the assessment and becomes a member of the Evil Suppression Department, it is impossible to see the real Evil Suppression Department. Therefore, the assessment locations must be set up separately. This house was given to Huo Qubing by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the early years, but Huo Qubing didn't want it back then. Now for the sake of Zhenxie Secretary, he went to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to get it back.
Lin Qiye wore a holly-colored Han attire with a white jade token tied around his waist. He slowly walked into the house and glanced around.
"Take care of this place. Those strangers who are here to take the exam should be here soon."
