The smile on Yu Ji's face gradually disappeared. He lowered his long white eyebrows, and his fingers played with the ear cup on the table, leaving silent. His hands were very beautiful. His fingers were slender and his skin was smooth, just like his face, with almost no wrinkles, and not like the old man's hands at all.

Everyone held their breath and dared not speak. Everyone could see that the gods were unhappy. Sun Ce was too rude and regarded the gods as actors and the gods' magic as funny acrobatics. The gods had endured it again and again, and whether they could still endure it, and if they couldn't bear it, no one could tell what they would do.

Yuan Quan was very nervous, Sun Quan and others were also very nervous. Even Sun Yi and Sun Shangxiang, who had always been lawless, dared not speak.

Only Sun Ce's smile remained unchanged. He looked at Yu Ji with a smile and sipped the wine leisurely.

"General, I have traveled thousands of miles and returned from overseas. I heard that the general is benevolent and filial, and has a heart for the Tao. I hope to discuss the Tao with the general in order to benefit the general and benefit the people, rather than to bring the general a banquet to the general."

Zhang Zhao stood up and bowed. "General, the gods and immortals are the masters of this world, and they are dedicated to the Tao. It is rare to enter the world because of the general. It is the opportunity for the general to ask about the Tao. You should not lose the roots and chase the ends and be dazzling in the wonders of magic. Although we are ignorant, we may not be able to understand the generals and immortals' discussions, but listening is always good. If it is a coincidence and you have some enlightenment, it is also good."

Everyone agreed and advised Sun Ce not to be looked down upon by the gods, wasting this opportunity given by heaven. Yuan Quan also shook Sun Ce one after another. Sun Ce ignored him, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to rest assured.

"I have a deep understanding of your heart towards Tao. If this were not the case, I would not have had much trouble. Please come here to have a banquet. Although the autumn harvest is over, the winter wheat is about to be sown, and the farming time cannot be delayed. Otherwise, you will inevitably go hungry next year. Without food, will we be allowed to discuss the Tao with an empty stomach?"

Sun Ce said the last sentence, turned his head and looked at Yu Ji with a smile.

Yu Ji's face was slightly embarrassed, but he avoided answering.

Everyone remembered what happened two days ago and slowly came to their senses. Sun Ce was right. No matter how capable Yu Ji was, he could not make any food. If Sun Ce didn't want to discuss the truth, why bother such a big deal? He would definitely make sense of this. You might as well listen to it.

Seeing that everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, Sun Ce stood up, walked to Gongdu, Liu Pi and others, and said, "You three were all Yellow Turban generals, have you ever seen great wise mentors?"

Wu Ba stood up and bowed. "I am lucky enough to have met a great wise and good teacher several times."

"Have you ever seen a great master performing spells?"

"some."

"What kind of magic spells do great masters have?"

Wu Ba thought for a while. "Although there is no magic spell for the gods who just made this glass of wine, they often have magical actions. I won't talk about drawing talismans and chanting spells. I have also seen this rebirth of the broken head and the remnant limbs."

Sun Ce turned around and looked at Yu Ji. "Yu Gong, will you be reborn after your head and your remaining limbs reincarnate?"

Yu Ji stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word. Everyone was a little embarrassed when they heard this. Zhang Jiao still has such skills? That is much stronger than the spells that Yu Ji just showed. But Zhang Jiao was so strong that he was wiped out by the official army. If this is the case, Yu Ji's ability is really nothing great, it can only help to entertain it. Sun Ce is not favored.

Sun Ce signaled Wu Ba to take his seat and continued, "Everyone has the heart toward Tao, and I am no exception. However, there are so many people who practice Taoism, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, which is also known to everyone. If Yu Gong is sincere in discussing Taoism, then I will naturally not be fooled and ask Yu Gong for advice. Even if he is absolutely unable to do so, he will do his best. But if Yu Gong uses some illusions to help the wine, but we take the truth, wouldn't we be laughed at by Yu Gong? If you don't distinguish the truth from the false, how can you ask the Tao?"

Sun Ce turned around and looked at Yu Ji, and said loudly: "Yu Gong, do you think this is the reason?"

Yu Ji stood up and walked slowly to Sun Ce, with one hand behind his back and the other stroking his beard, looking at Sun Ce's eyes. "So, the general thinks that someone just used an illusion, not a spell?"

Sun Ce glanced at Yu Ji's cuff. "It's an illusion or a spell, Yu Gong should know better than me."

Yu Ji's face changed slightly, he took a step back, and sighed: "It seems that the opportunity between me and the general has not arrived. Let's leave now. I will see you again in the future." After saying that, he bowed his hand, looked around again, and bowed. "Goodbye."

Sun Ce did not try to keep him. Yu Ji walked to the stairs and then said loudly: "Mr. Yu, please listen to me."

Yu Ji stopped and turned slowly. "What else does the general have to say?"

"Actually, there is nothing, only one sentence. I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to slander you. If you really want to discuss the truth and benefit the people, I will welcome you at any time. If you want to test me, there is no need."

Yu Ji glanced at Sun Ce deeply and turned around and left.

Everyone looked at each other, unable to tell who is true or who is false. Is this wine in the glass of wine a illusion or spell? Did Sun Ce say it wrong or was he blind? Was Yu Ji guilty or did he feel that Sun Ce was not enough and said something? What are the things about?

Zhang Zhao couldn't suppress his curiosity, walked to Sun Ce and whispered: "General, what's going on? Is this illusion or spell?"

Sun Ce thought about it and smiled slightly. "It's both true and illusory."

Zhang Zhao was speechless, so angry that he shook his sleeves and turned around and was about to leave. Sun Ce grabbed him. "Please wait, Mr. Zhang, I have nothing to say."

"What's up?"

"How to deal with the food gap caused by your hospitality?"

Zhang Zhaogu said to him. Sun Ce held back his laughter and pulled his sleeve. "Okay, okay, I'm talking about serious business. You don't think I'm summoning you together for this, right?"

"What the hell is it?"

"Help me see if I can raise some food." Sun Ce pulled Zhang Zhao aside and called Yang Xiu again. "Dezu, you can transfer to Zhang Bus, especially the needs in Qingzhou, and give priority to it."

Zhang Zhao was shocked and pulled Sun Ce instead. "General, do you want to take Qingzhou?"

Sun Ce nodded. "If you have this idea, but whether it can be done depends on whether you can raise enough food. Before the troops move, the food and grass will go first. Qingzhou has been disabled in recent years and there is not enough food, so I dare not take over. Dezu will soon go to Yuzhang to take office. Before you find a new chief clerk, you will be responsible for the entire logistics affairs."

Zhang Zhao nodded and discussed with Yang Xiu where to meet later, and each returned to the meeting. Sun Ce returned to the chairman and signaled everyone to be quiet. The gods would put aside in advance. He had more important things to discuss with them. Yuzhang succeeded, but it was still a long way from real control. Yuzhang's terrain was complex, and the powerful people built their own buildings and resisted by force was even more troublesome than Yuzhou. Yang Xiu alone, He Qi was not enough. He also had to readjust the county magistrates of each county in Yuzhang, and arranged some people to reinforce He Qi. In short, there were many vacancies waiting for people to fill.

When he heard Sun Ce's words, the civil and military officials here suddenly became energetic, pricked up their ears, listened intently, for fear of missing a word. This is more important than the affairs of gods. Gods are not good for them, Sun Ce has it.
