In the Great Zhou Court, there were three major Martial Departments:
the Military Department, the Inner palace Eunuch Department, and the Mountain Sea Department.
The Military Department was responsible for warfare and maintaining the peace throughout the land; the Inner palace Eunuch Department had the highest cultivation levels, charged with guarding the safety of the Imperial family; and finally, the Mountain Sea Department excelled in intelligence gathering, exclusively tasked with collecting Martial Arts for the Ji Clan.
Shi Wenbo, Cui Jin, and Ji He each came from one of these three Martial Departments.
General Ji Zikong's arrangement for these three individuals to go to Yongzhou together clearly had a deeper purpose—it was a gesture of offering Xue Zhao a sweet date while also covertly keeping a card up his sleeve, not fully trusting this Great General of Great Zhou Country.
