Mythical Three Kingdoms

After all, Zhou Yu was more clever. Even when he was in a fog, he had already grasped some things. However, Zhou Yu neither had a map nor a sea ship for long voyages, and time was not enough. Although he had barely guessed some things, it was of no use.

"Ha, are we going to draw lots?" Sunx Ce looked at the nearby soldiers and asked in confusion.

"Yes, Marquis Chen plans to hold a draw before leaving Chang'an." The soldier replied respectfully, "So he invites the general to join."

"Alright." Sunx Ce nodded and said, "Gongjin, take Zhongmou with you."

When Sunx Ce arrived, Chen Xi was expressionless as he looked at the large entourage of the Cao Family and the Xiahou Family. At least thirty people had come between the two families, leaving Chen Xi speechless.

"Greetings, Marquis Chen." Xun Yun and Xun Ji cupped their hands in salute. Compared to last time when the two of them were near collapse, they were obviously in much better shape this time.

"No need for formalities." Chen Xi gave a half-bow back, and being so close, he could already feel the faint spiritual agitation within them, which to some extent marked the awakening of their spiritual talent.

"Yo, here's your brother, Sunx Zhongmou, why did he come to Chang'an?" Chen Xi saw Sunx Ce and Zhou Yu, then noticed the green-eyed but somewhat familiar guy behind them and instantly recognized Sunx Quan.

"Come, Zhongmou, meet this man you've always wanted to see." Sunx Ce gave Sunx Quan a gentle nudge, urging him to go forward.

"Greetings, Marquis Chen." Sunx Quan respectfully saluted.

"Hmm, not bad, come on in, come in." Chen Xi said with a smile. He didn't have much to say about Sunx Quan. As long as Sunx Ce was alive, Sunx Quan's life would be limited. Sunx Ce was kind and wouldn't harm Sunx Quan, but hoping Sunx Quan would achieve the same as in the previous life was wishful thinking.

Upon hearing this, Sunx Quan went toward the inner hall, as did Sunx Ce, but he was held back by Zhou Yu, which made him look at Zhou Yu slightly confused.

"Zichuan, are there still spots on the Western expedition?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Uh, yes, I asked previously if you would send people, but you didn't respond after that." Chen Xi glanced back at Sunx Quan inexplicably.

Sunx Ce's expression became slightly unpleasant, but he didn't stop Zhou Yu, indicating that they had already discussed it.

"Is that place meant for honing people?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Yes, it's a place to hone the young, and also a place to gain experience. You wouldn't want him to go, would you?" Chen Xi frowned and said.

"Can't he go?" Zhou Yu questioned.

"Though it sounds unpleasant, his level is rather low to go." Chen Xi scratched his head, thinking of Sun Shiwan, Zhang Ba Babei, Mann Shushi, Wen Sleep, Zang Listen, these results could act like a negative buff.

"Rest assured, Ziming and Wen Gui will also go. One has a spiritual talent, the other has Inner Qi Separation. If Zhongmou continues to be sheltered under my wings, it'll be hard for him to grow." Sunx Ce said with a touch of bitterness. He had truly suffered and didn't want his siblings to suffer too, but yesterday's scene enlightened him.

"In that case, alright, but that place isn't necessarily completely stable." Chen Xi sighed, "Though large-scale wars aren't possible, small skirmishes will still occur."

"It's a good idea to hone Zhongmou. After all, he has inherited his father's title. Even with my support, he'll eventually become another branch of the Sunx Family. Even if he doesn't yet realize it, I must plan for him early." Unusually solemn, Sunx Ce indeed was a good brother.

"Very well, but you can all rest assured, there won't be any major issues." Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's just a place to gain experience, so you can all relax."

Sunx Ce and Zhou Yu nodded, trusting Chen Xi not to act rashly. However, they had no idea what was about to happen in Western Asia.

The first Parthia-Rome War at Two Rivers had seventy thousand against fifty thousand, not too big. The second time, Severus came with one hundred forty thousand against one hundred ten thousand, still not too large. In the third Two Rivers War, Severus decided that if the Han Empire wouldn't withdraw, he might as well destroy it.

Seven elite legions with Eagle Banner Numbers in the top ten, six Breakthrough Level military generals, over forty with Inner Qi Separation, elite barbarian corps consisting of those recruited from the north like the Germanic, Teutonic, and Anglo, as well as the Council Guard and the Roman Emperor's Guard Officer teams making up two Military Spirit Legions. Severus declared directly, if they don't leave, they would also be killed.

So the honing place for young people in Chen Xi's imagination had long turned into a death trap due to Li Jue's reckless actions.

However, after Sunx Quan finished the second and third Two Rivers Wars, as well as the Taysi Sealed Defense Battle, he truly held disdain for his past self. Indeed, the true honing comes from such bloody battles.

"Alright then, you really are a good brother." Chen Xi said with a smile.

"I'll split half of my cavalry with Zhongmou and will also send over three thousand archers." Sunx Ce sighed and said, not refuting it.

"Rest assured, at that time Lyu Ziming and Pan Wenqui will definitely grow significantly." Chen Xi smiled and said.

"Won't they suffer from different climates?" Zhou Yu frowned and asked, "After all, it's far away, thousands of miles."

"They will, but I've prepared medical staff, one apprentice of Physician Hua, a relative of Dr. Zhang, and some other doctors. Of course, many medical medics are prepared." Chen Xi smiled and said.

"Then that's that." Zhou Yu nodded silently. Sunx Quan indeed should be honed, as Sunx Ce is still alive, and Zhou Yu counted as a half-brother to Sunx Quan.

"The doctors you're talking about don't include me, right?" Ji Xiang came over with her apprentice, catching some of the conversation in the wind, she asked with her head tilted, then bowed slightly to Sunx Ce and said, "Long time no see, cousin."

"Oh... Xiang'er." Sunx Ce paused, and after a while, he spoke.

"You indeed forgot my name, too many cousins, can't be bothered with remembering." Ji Xiang's face darkened, she said slowly, while Sunx Ce showed a bit of awkwardness.

"Ah, whose little girl is this, she looks as cute as Shangxiang." Sunx Ce's brain capacity not being high, he tried to change the topic with difficulty.

"Forget it, I'll spare you, at least you still know my name, I'll leave first." Ji Xiang didn't want to tangle with Sunx Ce and waved her hand, leaving silently with her apprentice to take advantage.
