As dawn rose in the east, four horses galloped towards the army stationed outside the city.

On the bumpy horse's back, Lin Qiye stabilized Wuquan while awkwardly controlling the reins. He had learned how to drive all modern means of transportation in the training camp, but he had never learned how to ride a horse. Fortunately, he had a good talent and was able to control the horse for the first time.

The unconscious Gong Yangwan was supported by an invisible force and floated behind Huo Qubing. It was not known whether it was because Lin Qiye's punch was too hard that she still hadn't woken up.

As they approached, someone in the army saw Huo Qubing and gave an order to quickly clear a path for them to cross directly to the core area of ​​the army. The deputy general dismounted and said something to a soldier. Soon someone pushed an empty grain cart over.

"Put the child on. His broken bones have just been reconnected, so he can't ride a horse for a long time. It's safer for him to lie on the cart." He said to Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye nodded, put Wuquan on it, and fixed it with something.

"By the way, my name is Zhan Yuwu, and I'm the Marquis's deputy general." The deputy general took the initiative to introduce, "The hypocrite just now is called Yan Zhong, and he is the Marquis's counselor. The two of us have followed the Marquis for several years, and we are also the most advanced people in this army besides the Marquis."

Zhan Yuwu, Yan Zhong... Lin Qiye just felt that these two names sounded familiar.

Suddenly, the huge monument under the Night Watchman's ground appeared in his mind again. It seemed that these two names were below the names of "Huo Qubing" and "Gong Yang Wan".

They were the first members of the Evil Suppression Bureau and the most important people who built the Evil Suppression Bureau.

"Are there many talented people in this army?" Lin Qiye asked.

"Not really. Including us and the Marquis, there are less than ten people in total. These are the ones that the Marquis has intentionally collected during his marches in the past two years. There are not as many experts as you think." Zhan Yuwu paused for a moment and spoke again, "But don't worry, there are still experts who are good at treatment. The Marquis has already invited them, and they should be here soon."

Just as the two were talking, Huo Qubing came over from not far away with a white-haired old man.

"This is Mr. Zhong Meng, a healing expert from the fourth realm. He can quickly heal this child's injuries." Huo Qubing introduced.

The white-haired old man nodded slightly to Lin Qiye, walked to the side of the grain cart, carefully observed Wu Quan's situation, and gently pressed his hands on his body. Several dark green vines emerged from his sleeves and gradually wrapped up Wu Quan's body. A faint light flowed and spread on the surface of the vines.

This was the second time that Lin Qiye had heard the descriptions of “four realms” and “six realms”. If he guessed correctly, these corresponded to the “sea” realm and “Klein” realm of later generations respectively.

During this era, the Forbidden Ruins had just appeared, and many concepts were not mature. They were simply distinguished by numbers. It was not until later generations gradually discovered the manifestations of spiritual power in different realms that they used more specific words such as "lamp", "pool", and "river" to describe the realm.

Huo Qubing looked at the black spring that was completely covered by vines, then turned to look at Lin Qiye:

"Let me talk for a moment."

Although Lin Qiye was somewhat puzzled, he still walked a few steps away from Huo Qubing. When there was no one around, the latter slowly spoke:

"What will the world be like two thousand years from now?"

Lin Qiye was stunned, "Do you believe that I came from the future?"

"When you mentioned the words 'Evil Suppression Division', I had some guesses, but it wasn't until I saw the child that I was certain of this idea."

"Why?"

"Because there won't be two [Ruling Emperors] in one era."

Huo Qubing looked down at his palm and said calmly, "I own it. I know how special it is. I named it [Dominating Emperor] because it is unique. Unless I die, there will never be a second emperor..."

“So that’s how it is.” Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the word “Emperor” in Wangxu was not chosen casually.

Lin Qiye described the Night Watch, the fog, Daxia, etc. without any reservation. He also focused on the Cthulhu mythology and how he suddenly came to this era... Lin Qiye knew very well that even if he was incompatible with this era and had no one to rely on, Huo Qubing would always be someone he could trust.

After listening to Lin Qiye's description, Huo Qubing frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Although I still don't understand everything you said...but I roughly understand what you mean." Huo Qubing nodded, "Whether it is the Han Dynasty or Daxia, we are all the descendants of Yan and Huang. If you need any help, you can come to me, and I will do my best to help you."

After getting Huo Qubing's assurance, Lin Qiye felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.

"By the way, Lord Marquis, how do you plan to deal with Gong Yang Wan?" Lin Qiye asked tentatively.

Lin Qiye did not mention too much about the predecessor of the Night Watchman or the Evil Suppression Bureau just now. He was worried that his words would have an impact on Huo Qubing. If this caused a large-scale change in the timeline, things would be bad... After all, he was not like Wang Mian who possessed the [Time Thug]. If the main timeline of the future was completely chaotic, he might be wiped out in an instant.

"She... I'm still considering it." Huo Qubing said after a pause, "Gong Yangwan's power is fatal to this era... But if used well, it may bring greater benefits to the Evil Suppression Division. However, this depends on whether she is a useful person."

After hearing these words, Lin Qiye felt relieved. Since Huo Qubing had his own understanding and was not determined to kill Gong Yang Wan as the scholar Yan Zhong said, there was still room for recovery.

"In the few days before returning to Chang'an, I intend to observe her character more carefully, so I have taken off her shackles. However, if her performance in the next few days disappoints me... then after returning to Chang'an, I will personally supervise her execution by being torn apart by a chariot."

“Just rely on these few days?” Lin Qiye recalled Gong Yangwan’s tone and expression when he just fought with her, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Gong Yangwan at this time, no matter from which angle, is not a good person...

“How about extending her time limit? How about half a year? Half a year can change a lot of things about a person.” Lin Qiye suggested.

"No." Huo Qubing shook his head and spoke firmly.

"Why?"

Huo Qubing glanced at his body, a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes, and he said slowly:

"I... don't have time anymore."
