I am a living immortal.

"So, you know, there are so many liars in this world, and we need to screen them one by one. Although using combat is a bit extreme, it is still a good method. It can easily reveal a person's true character."

"And you, a person born with extraordinary visions, must be extraordinary. How could our little tricks defeat a strong person like you? And so it is. We have returned in defeat."

"So it's confirmed?" Chen Dong looked at the deputy supervisor with a smile.

"Of course, your great power is indeed worthy of the natural phenomenon. So this time, we are invited to the capital by the emperor's order."

The deputy inspector's words were beautiful, but the facts didn't really matter; what mattered was that he offered a chance to improve his position. He explained why they had to fight, praised Chen Dong, and even found an excuse for his own disastrous defeat. It wasn't that they weren't strong, but that their opponent was too strong. Losing to such a force was perfectly natural. This was the art of speaking.

He is indeed a veteran in the officialdom.

Of course, Chen Dong wasn't going to expose the other person's lies. He wasn't looking for a falling out, so he just let it go. As for whether he was the alien or not, did it matter? It didn't matter. He was strong enough, even if a real alien appeared before him.

There were also great scholars who debated on his behalf.

As long as they couldn't beat him, they could drown him with just a mouthful of spit. This group of people's ability to distort right and wrong is not as simple as just talking, they can use word for word, quote scriptures and classics, and even make themselves believe it.

"So what exactly do you want me to do?" Chen Dong asked.

The deputy supervisor said, "This is not something that a mere supervisor like me can decide. It all depends on your Majesty's wishes."

Listen, little astronomical officer.

Adding a small "xiao" in front of such a high-profile name is extremely incongruous.

But this time, he told the truth.

According to the original plan, if Chen Dong wasn't as strong, or perhaps not as strong as he is now, he would most likely enter the Heavenly Monitoring Department after meeting His Majesty. However, the reality is that Chen Dong is too strong, so strong that it's unimaginable. It all depends on His Majesty's decision. Who knows, he might even ascend to heaven in one fell swoop. It's as if he's already in heaven.

The deputy supervisor might become his immediate superior, or even his superior's superior, so of course he would speak in a servile manner.

Chen Dong shrugged and said it didn't matter.

But the more indifferent he is, the more it matters to the big man.

If such a strong man is used well, it is no exaggeration to say that he is worth thousands of troops.

At this time, the general also stepped forward and said, "The treatment of the Han Dynasty will definitely not disappoint you. If you can choose, you must join the Zhenbei Army... You will have better development in the army."

The general did not beat around the bush like the Astronomical Supervisor, and spoke directly.

His optimism about Chen Dong could no longer be described in words.

The Zhenbei Army was the army that faced the Xiongnu directly, and they hated the northern barbarians who were eyeing them covetously. If a tough guy like Chen Dong was in charge, the Xiongnu would definitely be in big trouble.

So a sincere invitation was extended.

Chen Dong was quite tempted by this. After all, his original plan was to join the Yan Dynasty's expeditionary force and contribute to the imperial court. Now that he hadn't made it to Yan, joining the Han army was a possibility. This time, he wasn't going for merit, but simply to make a difference.

His strength came out of nowhere.

It is not a waste of strength to accomplish something great before you are able to control it.

"Ahem!" The deputy supervisor coughed, signaling the general not to overstep his authority and not to say things that shouldn't be said. It would be bad if it went against the emperor's ideas.

The general chuckled.

He was truly overly excited. After all, this mission was purely accidental, and the closest force was the Zhenbei Army, which was why they came. Logically, if this battle had taken place in Yanliang, it wouldn't have been the Zhenbei Army that came. Because Chen Dong had run north from Yanliang for a whole day and night, even crossing an entire state, it was the Zhenbei Army that came when the Imperial Astronomical Bureau sought support.

If Chen Dong wants to go to the royal capital.

Although the Zhenbei Army would send a cavalry squad to accompany him, he, as the Right General, would not follow. Of course, this cavalry squad was not needed. First, no one present needed protection, and second, although it was a cavalry squad, the Zhenbei Army could not leave Beijie Youcheng unless necessary.

The reason why he followed was just the general's little idea.

If Your Majesty intends to send Chen Dong to the army, then the Zhenbei Army, which is the most familiar to him, will be the first choice.

Seeing that the explanation had been given and the pleasantries were almost over, the group decided to go to the capital to report.

"My name is Song Jun."

"Chen Dong."

"I'll remember that, Chen Dong. If you have time to visit the Northern Border City, I'll definitely treat you well. Let's go!" Song Jun said as he pulled the reins. The horse neighed loudly and turned away. The golden and red torrent behind him left in a mighty manner.

"Won't it be inconvenient for them?" Chen Dong asked curiously.

"You think they'll run back to Yujo?"

"Isn't it?" Chen Dong asked curiously.

The deputy inspector of the Tianshi Division laughed twice. Now that Chen Dong was one of them, he no longer had to be so serious. He said, "The Zhenbei Army has its own warships."

He pointed in a direction.

Chen Dong looked over and didn't see anything until there was a "crash" sound, the red sails were raised, and three huge warships appeared in sight, and then disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye.

Chen Dong opened his mouth wide.

"We?" Chen Dong looked at the Tianjiansi.

"Ahem!" The Tianshi said awkwardly, "We don't have it. Only the Imperial Guards and the Four Directions Army have it. These warships require special ores to propel them, and even the Han Dynasty can't equip them in large quantities."

In fact, the main reason is that the Tianshisi is not qualified.

Aside from the Supervisor, no one else even had the qualifications to board the ship. He wouldn't tell Chen Dong about this; it would be so embarrassing. Of course, this lack of qualifications wasn't due to rank, but rather because warships were generally commanded only by general-level soldiers.

Even the three dukes and nine ministers, who were headed by civil officials, were unable to command warships despite their high positions. In the Han Dynasty, the civil service and military service were two completely different systems.

The two sides do not interfere with each other, have relative independence, and are all coordinated by His Majesty.

Although the Tianjiansi is unique among the civil service groups, it is still a civil service group.

Chen Dong became more and more curious about this big man.

He had just witnessed the strength of the general, but could it be that those civil servants also had incredible abilities?

He didn't hold back and asked directly.

"Are those civil servants as capable as you?" Chen Dong asked.
