Lu HaiKong stared at Big Fool's attributes, feeling a bit dazed.
On a whim, he had cultivated a Martial General with a rating of 80, which was a pleasant surprise. However, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed that Big Fool had a slightly lower IQ, and among the four attributes, three of them were zero. This was the first time Lu HaiKong had ever seen such a case.
"Oh well, he's a bit stupid, but he's still quite capable. I'll keep him by my side from now on. In this world, there are so many items; who knows, maybe I'll find a cure or an item to fix his condition in the future."
Thinking this, Lu HaiKong patted Big Fool on the shoulder, "Follow me from now on, understand?"
Big Fool looked at Lu HaiKong, and his dazed eyes suddenly lit up. He nodded vigorously, "I understand! There's food!"
Although Big Fool was a bit foolish, his memory was good, and he still remembered the promise Lu HaiKong had made when they first met.
Lu HaiKong was taken aback and patted Big Fool's shoulder. Then, he turned and left, with Big Fool closely following behind.
As Lu HaiKong emerged from the side hall of Ying Ling Tu, Chen Ping had already completed the task he had been instructed to do and was waiting nearby.
"Take him to the Blacksmith Camp later and have them forge an Excellent-level armor set for him, as well as an Excellent-level mace."
"Yes!"
Lu HaiKong handed Big Fool over to Chen Ping and then headed to Xi Zhi Cai's place.
It was still afternoon, and Xi Zhi Cai was not in his courtyard but working in the government hall next to the Assembly Hall.
When Lu HaiKong arrived at the Assembly Hall, he saw Yin Yue, who was as fat as a pig, lying on the bluestone road, sunbathing. Upon seeing Lu HaiKong, Yin Yue's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he tried to stand up to assume a combat stance.
Unfortunately, Yin Yue was too fat, and he couldn't stand up in one go. Instead, he tripped and fell, looking rather pathetic, or perhaps, adorably silly.
Seeing Yin Yue's foolish display, Lu HaiKong suddenly felt that Xi Zhi Cai's decision to raise him like a pig was the right choice. Riding into battle with this fool would be too embarrassing.
With this thought, Lu HaiKong stepped over Yin Yue and entered the Assembly Hall, asking someone to invite Xi Zhi Cai over.
During the time it took for Xi Zhi Cai to arrive, Lu HaiKong brewed some tea in the Assembly Hall. By the time Xi Zhi Cai arrived, the tea was ready.
After spending time with Xi Zhi Cai, Lu HaiKong had also developed a liking for tea. Every time they met, Lu HaiKong would brew a pot of tea, but recently, when these two got together to drink tea, their conversations seemed more suited for drinking alcohol.
"How have the three commanderies been doing lately?" Lu HaiKong asked as he handed Xi Zhi Cai a cup of tea.
"Some guys aren't very well-behaved, but with Ma Pin around, things are generally under control," Xi Zhi Cai replied.
"Regardless, these aristocratic families are unstable factors. If we could deal with them all, I wouldn't have to worry about building strongholds and could focus on managing the three commanderies."
"Xizhi Cai shook his head upon hearing this. "The Three Commanderies cover a vast area with a population of millions. We don't have enough talented people to manage such a large-scale operation, and with our current popularity, it's not the right time to make such a big move. It would attract too much attention."
"I know that, I was just casually mentioning it. As long as they don't interfere with me right now, I'm not bothered to deal with them."
Xizhi Cai was aware of this, which was why he spoke up.
"By the way, what's the situation with the Yellow Turban Sect now? It's been over half a month."
"The 161 Book Bar's version is correct!"
Although Lu HaiKong wasn't currently involved in the affairs of the Yellow Turban Sect, he was closely monitoring their developments. Whether it was the sweet success of 'Suppressing the Wu Xian Rebellion' or his position as a minor tyrant, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but pay attention to the Yellow Turban Sect's situation.
"Regarding the intelligence on the Yellow Turban Sect, I've combined information from the aristocratic families, Ye Gongzi's group, and the Outsiders. I've also done a preliminary analysis."
As Xizhi Cai spoke, he handed over a document to Lu HaiKong, knowing that Lu HaiKong would definitely have questions.
Lu HaiKong took the document, which contained information compiled by Xizhi Cai, roughly outlining the current situation of the Yellow Turban Sect.
To Lu HaiKong's surprise, after more than half a month, the Yellow Turban Sect's situation remained highly favorable. Although the court had responded swiftly, allowing local recruitment of troops and dispatching Huang Pu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi to lead legions to suppress the rebellion, there had been no significant progress after a month.
However, on this document, Lu HaiKong noticed something unusual. The number of leaders among the Yellow Turban Sect, the Outsiders, was unexpectedly high. This was precisely the reason why the court's suppression efforts had been ineffective and, instead, seemed to be facing a potential counter-suppression. Looking at the situation, only the Yellow Turban Sect in Youzhou seemed to be suffering, as they were being harshly treated by Gongsun Zan.
"What's your take on this?" Lu HaiKong asked Xizhi Cai after taking a deep breath.
"Hmm, the tea is good!" Xizhi Cai replied, seemingly engrossed in his tea and ignoring the question.
Here he goes again, Lu HaiKong thought. When it came to analyzing such significant developments, Xizhi Cai always left it to Lu HaiKong to figure out. Xizhi Cai's role was to gather the information Lu HaiKong needed. How to analyze and act upon it was up to Lu HaiKong, and he never interfered."
"Alright, alright, I'll share my thoughts. I believe this Yellow Turban uprising will have a significant turning point in half a year!"
Xizhi Cai was taken aback by Lu HaiKong's statement. As he wasn't an Outsider, he didn't know that the Outsiders needed half a year to switch factions, so he couldn't quite understand what Lu HaiKong meant.
Seeing Xizhi Cai's bewildered expression, Lu HaiKong felt a sense of satisfaction. He deliberately paused, assuming a posture that seemed to say, 'If you want to know, just ask me.' However, Lu HaiKong's smugness didn't last long, as Xizhi Cai spoke up.
"Are there any changes expected from the Outsiders within the next six months?"
Lu HaiKong's expression froze, but he quickly composed himself. He shared the intelligence he had gathered with Xizhi Cai and provided his analysis of the Yellow Turban Sect's situation, as well as his decision. For the next three months, Lu HaiKong didn't plan to get involved with the Yellow Turban Sect.
During these three months, Lu HaiKong would thoroughly process the information he had obtained over the past month and work on establishing the Gigantic Fort...
