Luo Erhu was eventually sent to a special intensive care unit, under the care of many professional doctors and nurses, and Li Xiuwen personally led elite soldiers to guard the outside.
Jiang Ze returned to the monitoring center and once again analyzed and compared photos of suspicious women. After that, he once again searched for famous female generals in the United States and mainland China through various channels.
After many layers of screening, Jiang Ze was still unable to confirm the identity of the suspicious woman because none of the female generals who seemed to meet the requirements were fortune tellers. And Jiang Ze was 100% sure that the suspicious woman who sneaked into Yecheng must be a fortune teller, or there must be a fortune teller among her accomplices.
Although the identity cannot be determined, what is certain is that the Menes Empire is secretly poaching people, especially well-known generals from the defeated countries.
Regarding the Battle of Tianzhu, the Lieguo has already met internationally, and all countries have stated that they will not intervene. For this reason, Lieguo sent many great gifts to other countries. Nowadays, the Menes Empire is actually one thing on the surface but another secretly, secretly coming to Tianzhu to poach people.
The next day, Jiang Ze came to Guo Jia's residence, intending to discuss matters with him about the Menes Empire.
Guo Jia has slept all day and his body should have recovered.
Jiang Ze came to the villa, and the housekeeper took him to Guo Jia's bedside.
At this time, Guo Jia had woken up, but his body was still a little weak and he could not get out of bed.
"I really want to thank you this time for staying up all night to do divination for me yesterday." Jiang Ze said sheepishly.
"Okay, don't be polite. What do you want from me? Is it related to Raymond's disappearance?"
"Yes, I suspect that Raymond has already left Yecheng, and may have been poached by people from the Menes Empire."
"The Menes Empire actually came all the way here to do something small?"
"I sorted out the suspicious events in the past few days and came to a very possible conclusion."
Jiang Ze reported all the information he prepared to Guo Jia, including the matter of counterfeit Limili.
After reading it, Guo Jia basically agreed that there should be secret envoys sent by big countries to poach people here, and the Menes Empire was the most likely.
You know, Raymond will definitely look down on ordinary small countries. As a survivor of a defeated country, Raymond must have a desire for revenge, so the big country he joined was probably the Insect Kingdom Chichi or the Menes Empire.
However, the possibility of the Menes Empire is higher. After all, Queen Mikasa of the Insect Kingdom only targets the Yan Kingdom. The goal of the Menes Empire is the entire continent of Asia, which will eventually confront the Lie Kingdom and Jiang Ze.
"Jiang Ze, although we can guess that the Menis Empire is behind the scenes, we have no evidence. These information alone cannot constitute substantive evidence. And we are busy expanding our territory now, and we cannot have time. and energy to confront the Menes Empire.”
"So you mean to turn a blind eye and let them do whatever they want?"
"I just turn a blind eye at this stage, but if you can get substantial evidence later, I will ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to come forward."
"I understand. I hope the Menes Empire will show some restraint. If you continue to act like a monster, I won't be polite."
"Jiang Ze, don't be arrogant. The first priority is to unify Tianzhu. As for the generals of the defeated countries, it is impossible for everyone to conquer them. For example, Zhao Yongheng of Zhao State, although Yan State did not come to recruit him, he smuggled himself there Yan State has been accepted by Yan State. Even so, we have no way to accuse Yan State of raising an army, nor can we ask Yan State to hand over its people."
"I understand. I will put these things aside first and focus on development and recruitment." Jiang Ze said helplessly.
On the other side, in the most remote north of Chu Land, there is a small city called Salo.
The former five-star general Hu Li temporarily hid here. He organized the remaining thousands of people in the city to develop farming and animal husbandry, and began a temporary self-sufficient life.
This small town has no reputation. It is located in a remote area and its resources are mainly grassland. Other resources are scarce, so most people will not notice it. The Liejun army has been busy stabilizing the situation in Yecheng and giving priority to conquering the core cities, so the Liejun army's minions cannot reach here for the time being.
As for the future, Huli plans to take it one step at a time.
But today, Huli's peaceful life was broken. The arrival of Shu Linrui really shocked Huli. But what was even more shocking was that the former five-star general Raymond also came.
Facing a person of this level, Hu Li naturally did not dare to neglect him, and served him all the delicious food and drinks.
From the moment she entered the city until the banquet, Shu Linrui did not explain her purpose. Instead, he acted very friendly and asked many times to hold Huli’s little daughter.
About halfway through the banquet, Shu Linrui took out a luminous pearl.
"This is no ordinary luminous stone. It not only emits light at night, but also emits light during the day. At night, it emits white light, while during the day it emits black light. It is very rare. I will give it to you." Shu Linrui pushed the delicate small box over. The luminous pearls on the box glowed in black and white, which was very magical.
"How can I have the nerve to ask for such a diluted treasure?" Although Huli thought this night-light pearl was magical, he felt that it was an ominous thing.
"But your little daughter seems to like it very much." Shu Linrui saw Hu Li's little daughter Zhen Ni staring at Ye Mingzhu, her eyes filled with joy.
"She's just curious." Hu Li concealed it.
"Yeah?"
Shu Linrui smiled, picked up the Night Pearl, came to Zhen Ni, and asked gently: "Do you like it?"
Zhenni nodded.
"Then do you want it? If you want it, aunt can give it to you."
Zhenni nodded again.
"Take it if you want." Shu Linrui picked up Zhen Ni's two small hands, which held the luminous pearl, which was very beautiful.
Huli saw this and didn't know what to do. But if you insist on refusing now, it would be too disrespectful.
In addition, Shu Linrui directly held Zhenni on her lap and fed her something to eat. The atmosphere looked quite warm.
At the end of the banquet, Shu Linrui asked Huli's family members to leave first. After they left, Shu Linrui formally invited Huli to leave Tianzhu and join the Menis Empire.
Huli couldn't agree, but he couldn't refuse either. He hoped that everyone could have a good sleep first and talk about it tomorrow.
Shu Linrui was a little unhappy inside, but still politely agreed.
After nightfall, Huli secretly found Raymond. He had to find out what kind of person Shu Linrui was.
"Raymon, do you know that we were used as gunmen when we went to the Menes Empire? The Yan Kingdom is also a world power, and this war can be called a world war. We might end up with our heads in different places."
"I know, but there is no other way. I want to give it a try. If I succeed, I will be a hero of the empire. When the time comes, I can personally lead an army to conquer the Lie Kingdom and Jiang Ze."
"Alas, you are still thinking about revenge."
"Then what are you thinking about now?"
"I don't want anything. I just want to live a simple life quietly."
"Can you live a simple life here? You can either surrender to the empire or to the treacherous country now. You can't run anywhere."
"You can't say that. In Tianzhu, at least there is Brother Xiang Mao, Han Leng, Wuming, Yutong, and many other old subordinates I am familiar with..."
"Don't mention them. Do you want to surrender to Jiang Ze like them?" Raymond suddenly got angry.
"I...that's not what I meant. It's just that I am familiar with Chu Di and have feelings for it."
"Don't use these excuses. Please be honest when you talk to me. If you want to achieve great things, come with me. If you don't want to, just reject Shu Linrui and the others. It's that simple."
"But in fact, it may not be simple. Shu Linrui's three followers are by no means ordinary people. I feel that none of them are inferior to you and me."
"Is it that exaggerated? They haven't shown it before."
"That's how I feel. I'm afraid that if I refuse, they will take action and maybe start a killing spree." Hu Li said worriedly.
"No, they are not such people. In fact, I didn't believe them at first because they forced me to use the serial space technique. Once I use it, my powers will be exhausted and I will become a lamb to be slaughtered. But I Finally, I took a gamble and used it. My powers were exhausted, my consciousness was blurred, and I almost fainted. In the end, they gave me an extremely precious Binglan Pill. In fact, they didn't have to give it to me, but they gave it to me anyway, saying that it was If I encounter the elite of the fierce army or attack by wild beasts, I can use my powers to escape. In short, I think their character is really good."
"Is this true?"
"When did I lie to you? Don't you know what kind of person I am, Raymond? Although I am very unhappy that you won't go to the Menes Empire with me, but if you insist on staying in Tianzhu, of course I will help you. After all, we were once brothers who went through life and death."
"I believe this. It's like you had the opportunity to kill Brother Xiang, but you didn't do it."
"Don't mention Xiang Mao. Although I can't kill him, I really hate him. He was the one who took the lead in surrendering." Every time he thought about it, Raymond still felt angry.
"Then don't mention him. I'll tell you the truth. I really don't want to join the Menes Empire. Please put in a good word for me."
"Oh, I know, I will."
In the end, Raymond left in disappointment, and Huli felt unhappy, but he had no choice. Now he really didn't want to go to the Menes Empire to participate in the world war.
Hu Li is considered a first-class master in Tianzhu, but if he goes to the East China Sea battlefield and faces those strong men with abnormal combat power in Yan Kingdom, it will be difficult to escape unscathed.
Late at night, Huli returned to his residence and saw that his wife had packed a bunch of luggage, several children were fully dressed, and there were several powerful bodyguards with acceptable abilities.
"What are you doing?" Hu Li asked.
"Of course I'll leave at night."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why should we run away?"
"Then you want to join the Menes Empire and serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield of the East China Sea? Don't you know how terrifying the battle there is? The entire Diaolong Island has turned into a world of ice and fire. More than 300,000 people have died there, including There are many well-known generals. That kind of battle is ten or a hundred times more terrifying than the battle here in Tianzhu."
"Don't believe those exaggerated reports, okay? If those reports reach a remote area like ours, they will be distorted a long time ago." Hu Li said with a bitter smile.
"Then what do you think?"
"I don't plan to join the Menes Empire. I'll just reject them tomorrow. I've already communicated with Raymond, and he said Shu Linrui and the others are good people."
"Good people? Do you think there are still good people in this world?"
"Even if it's not good, he shouldn't be a bad person. Look at the way Shu Linrui is holding Zhenni, so full of love and joy, you can't deceive anyone."
"That may be an appearance. I don't believe that a person who can be the queen of the empire says there is no city." Huli's wife was deceived and betrayed many times in the early days of the end of the world. If she hadn't been lucky, she would have been there long ago. There were no bones left, so she was particularly wary of strangers.
"I have actually considered what you said. But now they are not making things difficult for us. If we escape and are discovered by them, we will really have nothing to say."
"They are already asleep. The people guarding the villa are our people. So far, there has been nothing unusual. I think we should try to escape, sneak through the tunnel quietly, and then sneak out through the west gate. We will definitely be able to escape."
"Let me think about it, let me think about it." Huli suddenly felt a headache.
