Chapter 500: [499] The Benefits of a Charlatan

In the central courtyard of the war zone.

As time passed, the final agenda of this courtyard meeting, and also the most important one, arrived.

The Chief Sword, Wanli, looked at the participants in the hall and subtly nodded at a commander.

This was a "signal."

It was also one of the usual tricks used by those in power.

After all, for certain sensitive topics, it would be a bit too cheap for those in power to personally take the lead.

By having a subordinate take the lead, those in power could come and go as they pleased.

The commander's name was Xia Yilong, and he was also Wanli's absolute confidant.

The commander noticed the gaze of his superior and immediately cleared his throat.

"Ahem!"

Many people's gazes drifted towards this mysterious master.

The commander pretended and said, "Reporting to the Chief Sword, I have a suggestion."

Wanli gestured with his hand, "Please speak!"

The commander said in a deep voice, "From the current situation, after the birth of the Flame Eagle and the East Wind Mysterious Soldiers, the way of war has undergone a thorough change."

"I personally think that the current military system in the East Li war zone is not very suitable for the new situation, and it is necessary to make adjustments."

Wanli pondered for a moment and nodded gently, "You make sense. It's time to put the restructuring of the war zone on the agenda!"

This was a very sensitive topic.

Because the change in military system was a very significant matter.

This involved the adjustment of various legions, and even the authority of various commanders and deputy chief swords.

The hall immediately fell silent.

Many people's gazes turned towards Cheng Han, who had been absent-minded.

Everyone knew.

Cheng, the deputy inspector, was the one with the most say in this matter.

The gaze of the female master, Lan Jiayao, flickered, and she immediately had a guess in her mind: "Could the Chief Sword have some thoughts?"

The possibility was very high!

Because anyone with eyes could see that Commander Xia had always been loyal to the Chief Sword.

There must be a reason for him to deliberately bring up this topic.

Lan Jiayao couldn't help but think about power struggles: "Deputy Chief Cheng will also serve as the inspector in the future and will have to inspect various war zones. It's impossible for him to stay in the East Li war zone for a long time."

"Maybe the Chief Sword's main goal is to control most of the legions in this war zone by adjusting the war zone's opportunity!"

With this thought, the fighting spirit in the female master's heart instantly surged.

You, Chief Sword!

Thanks to Deputy Chief Cheng's ingenious plan, the war zone has just won a great victory, and you actually want to reach out recklessly.

No one should touch anything that belongs to Deputy Chief Cheng!

Lan Jiayao glanced at her superior's profile and searched her mind for words, preparing to be the first to step forward and launch a "counterattack."

Before the female master could speak, someone else had already taken the lead.

The person speaking was none other than Wanli: "Deputy Inspector Cheng understands the Flame Eagle and the East Wind Mysterious Soldiers the best, and has also made great contributions to the war zone."

The Chief Sword looked at Cheng Han with a sincere expression and said, "How to adjust the military system of the war zone, let's just leave it to Deputy Inspector Cheng, shall we?!"

As soon as these words came out, Lan Jiayao was stunned.

Could it be that the Chief Sword took the wrong medicine?

Not only her, but everyone else was also shocked.

The meaning behind the Chief Sword's words was nothing short of completely handing over the leadership to Deputy Chief Cheng and giving up the control of the various legions.

This unexpected turn of events truly surprised everyone.

Commander Xia played the role of a qualified supporting actor and immediately said, "I strongly agree with the Chief Sword's opinion. Deputy Inspector Cheng is indeed the most suitable candidate."

The other two newly appointed deputy chief swords, Feng Guangjun and Zhang Hanting, expressed their attitudes one after another.

"I agree!"

"I have no objections!"

These two high-level masters had previously had some ulterior motives, but they each received a heavy slap from Cheng Han and were given some benefits.

Their actions were undoubtedly a way of returning a favor, as the matter of military system reform was something they couldn't get involved in no matter what.

And in the entire East Li war zone, there were a total of six chief and deputy chief swords.

With one chief sword and two deputy chief swords already expressing their agreement, this matter was considered settled, and it didn't matter whether the other two deputy chief swords spoke up or not.

At this moment, Cheng Han finally woke up as if from a dream and asked in a daze, "Sorry, I was lost in thought just now. What does the Chief Sword need me to do?"

As soon as his words fell, everyone's faces twitched involuntarily.

Lan Jiayao was speechless to the extreme.

You actually got lost in thought when it comes to such an important matter as military system reform?

Are you kidding me?!

The other people in the hall also had subtle expressions.

Of course.

Given Cheng Han's current status and identity, this was just another legendary incident that happened to a legendary figure, and it didn't matter at all.

If it were any other deputy general or commander, they would definitely be reprimanded by the commander.

Jian Wanli's old face twitched slightly, and he said helplessly, "Cheng Xuncha, I hope you will take full charge of the upcoming military reforms."

Honestly speaking.

The military reforms were a major event, and from the depths of his heart, the commander was not willing to let go of it, let alone become a bystander.

But yesterday, the two divine generals under his command arrived in the war zone together, and they only had eyes for Cheng Xuncha, completely ignoring him.

This incident greatly shocked the commander.

He deeply realized that it was not wise to confront someone with such extraordinary talent.

It would be better to do his best to help him and establish a good relationship.

Besides, with Cheng Xuncha's great abilities, he probably wouldn't stay in the Eastern Li war zone for long.

However.

Something unexpected happened.

Cheng Han shook his head and directly refused the commander's goodwill, "I'll leave the military reform matters to you, Commander!"

Jian Wanli was confused.

What does he mean?

Someone who doesn't want to eat the meat that's been served to their mouth?

Cheng Han explained, "I have a feeling that something is going to happen soon, so I plan to wander around the war zone."

The so-called "big event" naturally referred to the surrender of the Hua Yunmu clan.

Jian Wanli was even more confused.

Others were also somewhat incredulous.

The perception of the Art of Divination might not be accurate, but to ignore such a major event just because of a vague "feeling"?

Isn't that ridiculous?

Cheng Han's tone was full of charlatan qualities, "Since yesterday, the Nine Divination Seals have been constantly throbbing. I have a strong feeling that this matter is very important."

This was not a lie.

Compared to the plan of the Erwu Zai Project and the military reforms, the change in the military system was simply insignificant.

Jian Wanli glanced at Cheng Han several times and finally didn't insist anymore, "Alright!"

Since the other party was willing to give up this excellent opportunity, the commander naturally felt happy to take on more power.

Cheng Han smiled, "Thank you, Commander!"

Jian Wanli looked around with a subtle expression and said, "If there's nothing else, let's end today's courtyard meeting."

No one spoke up.

The commander decisively waved his hand, "Dismissed!"

Cheng Han was the first to stand up and walked quickly towards the door.

A "fateful" encounter would soon take place and profoundly change history. He needed some time to perfect the details.

A group of people watched his back with different expressions.

But Cheng Han didn't care at all.

This was a plan he had already formulated.

Using the Nine Divination Seals as an opportunity, he would have a formal contact with the leader of the Hua Yunmu clan and then pull them into his own camp.

It was a very perfect closed loop.

Cheng Han didn't even need to come up with an excuse. He could make decisions based on his unfounded "feeling".

Don't ask!

The answer is the Art of Divination!

That's the greatest advantage of being a "charlatan".

Cloud Eagle Lotus Island.

The leader of the Hua Yunmu clan had experienced various "dangers" along the way and finally approached the edge of the Lotus Island.

This was already the inner sea, and the peculiar power of the Heavenly Leaf Lotus greatly suppressed the waves. The height of the waves generally did not exceed three meters.

Losing the cover of the waves made the leader very worried that the Wan Hao people would notice.

She didn't dare to stick her whole head out of the water, only revealing a pair of eyes to peep at the wonderful scenery she had never seen before.

The leader looked at the huge Lotus Island with a sigh, "Yiya!"

It meant - so big!

It was clear that the Hua Yunmu clan didn't seem to possess any "literary" qualities.

The Divine Fire Dragon swung its tail, and a few sparks emerged, forming a line of floating words on the water's surface, "What do you want to see?"

The leader immediately gave an answer, "The Green Rice Shrimp Farm!"

According to the Divine Fire Dragon, Wan Hao wanted to turn this realm into an ocean ranch and raise green rice shrimp to extract efficient fuel.

This was something she cared about very much.

She had to go and see for herself to verify if what the other party said was true or false.

The Divine Fire Dragon spewed out a few more sparks and replied, "Follow me!"

It took the lead and quickly dived into the water.
