Lie Fan: "Yes that's true! Now Sir Sun Qian now why I wanted to invite you to join me?"
Sun Qian hearing what Lie Fan said was silent for a couple of minutes, thinking if he wants to throw his dice at Lie Fan while his teacher says he can join the Imperial Court but he was not optimistic about joining The Imperial Court with how everything is going on there right now
Sun Qian: "Young Master has eyes that can see through the court intrigue and politics alongside the hearts to help the people, Sun Qian is honored to be able to serve Young Master Lie with his mediocre talents in these troubling times"
While Lie Fan was ecstatic that Sun Qian agree to join him, a long-forgotten sound of the System report interrupts his moment of happiness
[Host Just completed an Achievement!
Recruit a general or advisor that influences the trajectory of historical forces or the fate of an important historical figure]
[Host Received 2 level up, 300.000 Taels, 10 strength potions, 100.000 SP, Rising Dragon Cloak and unlocked hidden system function of Charm attribute and Erlang Shen Eye]
A hidden third eye that was bestowed upon the host by the God Erlang Shen, allowed the host to differentiate truth from lies and see through deceptions and disguises also allowing the Host to see other people's important Attributes that embody their soul
The one who uses this cloak on the battlefield will boost the morale of their army and Intimidate their enemies
Seeing what he received, Lie Fan was more excited and he praise Sun Qian seeing what he received from the system
Lie Fan: "Hahaha! With Sir Sun Qian at our side, it will be like adding wings to a tiger!"
Sun Qian: "My Lord praise is too extreme, Sun Qian is just a humble scholar"
Lie Fan: "With Sir Sun Qian now at my side, I wanted to ask sir what do you think we should do now?"
Sun Qian: "With what's happening right now, I suggest that My Lord send messengers to the nearby city Xiapi and Langye to inform their Governor about the excursion that happens with The Yellow Turbans, raising vigilance as to prevent Xiapi and Langye to fall if the Yellow Turbans decide to rebel"
Lie Fan: "But If we inform them then they will report to The imperial Court and they will receive the reward not me"
Sun Qian: "We use them as the ones who informed the Emperor of what happened so the 10 Attendants and General He Jin will not suspect us with how long My Lord has withheld this Information. When the rebellion began that's our chance to reap benefits as I know that the Governors are arrogant and their armies are lazy so they will lose against the massive Yellow Turbans army"
Lie Fan: "Hmm, I see your point we do as Sir Sun Qian suggests, I hope sir can draft the letter and I will pass it to my Father for him to send to the Imperial Court"
Sun Qian: "As My Lord Wish"
Lie Fan: " Oh one more thing, If I recruited the Yellow Turbans general I captured do you think it will affect me and My father in any negative way?"
Sun Qian: "Rumors can spread that we harbor a fugitive or a rebel and hide it from the Emperor, but if My Lord persuades him to use a mask or something to hide his face at least until The Yellow Turbans Rebellion ends then nobody can say anything as My Lord has made great Contributions"
Lie Fan: "I see okay then Sir Sun Qian can continue your time to draft the letter, I excuse myself to change first"
Lie Fan walks outside towards the bath area to wash his face and hands while Sun Qian begins to draft the letter showing his skills as one of Liu Bei's best diplomats and politicians in the future, writing about how Huai'An Army received many casualties to battle against the Yellow Turbans while across Xu Province the same thing is happening to other small cities and ask the Governors to report to The Emperor to crusade against this bandits
Lie Fan who has finished cleaning himself, walk back towards his camp but is intercepted by his guard who tells him that Liu Pi has awoken. Hearing that Lie Fan changed his direction and goes towards the tent where they kept Liu Pi there, entering the tent he saw Liu Pi who was tied while sitting in a chair with the Guard Battalion keeping watch over him
Liu Pi: "You?! How dare you tied me up , do you not fear Yello Heaven's Retribution?!"
Lie Fan: "I don't fear a belief that was created by another, what I fear is the one who created it and using it for his selfish purposes"
Liu Pie: "How dare you insult Master Zhang Jiao like that! Master Zhang Jiao cares about the people and is sad about how That bastard dog Emperor behaves!"
Lie Fan: "Zhang Jiao doesn't know the way of peace, I was the one who know the way of peace"
Liu Pi: "Hahaha! You're delusional! If what you said is the truth then show me!"
Lie Fan orders his guard battalion to leave him and Liu Pi alone, after All of the Guard Battalion soldiers leave then Lie Fan takes out his Rising Dragon cloak from the system but In Liu Pi's eye, Lie Fan receives it from the air stunning him and Liu Pi began to waver
Lie Fan: "You see this cloak? The Jade Emperor gives it to me in My dreams and tells me that I was chosen to bring peace while warning me to never expose myself as evil forces are looking to take it away from me and bring chaos to the land"
Liu Pi: "Wha-What so all along Master Zhang Jiao is a liar?!"
Lie Fan: "Yes that's true, you still have a chance to pre-empt yourself"
Liu Pi: "Tell me master how do I redeem Myself from this sin?!"
Lie Fan: "Come join and serve me until I quell the Chals that happen in this land, making peace rise again and the people will live safely"
Liu Pi: "This humble one will follow Master until his last breath to help achieve peace in the land and slay down your enemies that prevent it!"
Liu Pi was shocked at Lie Fan's show of spiritual power that in truth was just Lie Fan taking out his cloak from his inventory thinking that he found a new purpose in his life that is serving Lie Fan who was more modest in how he acted and more kind than Zang Jiao
Lie Fan: "Good Good! Your sins will be redeemed in this Life, but you have to swear an oath that what happens here will never go out of this tent"
Liu Pi: "I swear in my life and soul that if I Liu Pi ever speak a word of what happens here may the heaven strike me down and feed me to the dogs!"
Lie Fan: "Okay good! From now on you will have to wear a mask until we defeat your former master Zhang Jiao and called me Lord, not Master"
Liu Pi: "Yes Ma- I mean My Lord!"
Lie Fan released Liu Pi and takes some cloth and give it to Liu Pi as a temporary mask while Lie Fan will order his artisans to make a mask for Liu Pi
Leaving the tent, Lie Fan brings Liu Pi with him to meet Sun Qian in his tent to ask about the letter then the three of them will go back to Huai'An to talk to his father
Entering his tent, he saw Sun Qian waiting for him while drinking the tea he served for him
Lie Fan: "Sir Sun Qian, let me Introduce to you Commander Liu Pi who has changed his ways and now decide to serve me"
Sun Qian: "Ah yes pleased to meet you my name is Sun Qian, Lord Lie Fan's new advisor"
Liu Pi: "Nice to meet Advisor Sun, I'm Liu Pi former Yellow turbans commander and now served Lord Lie Fan who has the benevolence to forgive my sins and let me join his ranks to redeem my sins"
Lie Fan: "Now that we have known each other, Sir Sun Qian is the letter done yet?"
Sun Qian: "It has My Lord, we can submit it to The Lord Father and be sent to the Governors Of Xiapi and Langye"
Lie Fan: "Good! Let's go back to Huai'An now while there's still time and we take a rest first then tomorrow we give it to My Father at the same time introduce the two of you to my Father"
Sun Qian and Liu Pi heed what Lie Fan said, the three of them left Lie Fan's tent to go back towards Huai'An. Sun Qian enters his carriage while Lie Fan takes his horse Pangu and another horse for Liu Pi to use, then the three of them go back to Huai'An to meet Lie Shang
They arrived at Huai'An in the evening and when they enter, the people of Huai'An received Lie Fan with joy and excitement because the news of what Lie Fan has done had spread across all corners of Huai'An
