"west!"

Although he only saw it once, Xu Shu already had a very westward concept of this "world" in his mind. The Mediterranean coast mentioned by the emperor is equivalent to the westernmost end of the largest landmass, which is also marked on the map.

Another fertile area.

The most fertile land on the Eurasian continent is definitely the east and west regions, and there are many neighbors and deserts in the middle region. Although desertification is not that serious in this era, there are many oases even in the desert, but those places are not suitable for

For the Han people, it is definitely not a good place. The only place that really attracts their attention is the European continent.

And if you want to reach the Mediterranean coast from the Han Dynasty, Zhang Lu needs to stand down there and take root. This is indeed not something ordinary people can do. The emperor can give him this task because he really values ​​his talent.

But……

"Even if I am on the road, I am afraid it will take decades. When the Mediterranean Sea is already old, what else can be done?"

Liu Xuan laughed out loud: "It's not surprising that Yuan Zhi is worried, but I see that Yuan Zhi also knows a little bit about the Taoism of Xuanmen. I just don't know how much you know?"

Xu Shu didn't understand how this topic got involved in the mystic arts. However, he still answered respectfully: "I have some experience in the art of Qimen Dunjia, and I know a little bit about facial features and feng shui, but I don't know anything about the cultivation of Taoism, alchemy, etc."

!”

This is not surprising. Some scholars with outstanding knowledge, especially those with insights into military strategy, would be involved in things like Feng Shui and fortune-telling, because these things can also be used in war.

As for alchemy, some people believe it but don't know how to learn it. At most, like Guo Jia, they buy some ready-made elixirs from traveling Taoist priests and take them. Others don't believe it at all and think that there is such a thing as attaining Taoism and becoming an immortal.

It's all nonsense, but they still maintain their awe of gods and ghosts.

Xu Shu probably didn't believe it, but he remained in awe.

Liu Xuan made a judgment in an instant, so what he had to do next was simple. The first was to subvert Xu Shu's original world view. He had done this many times, and now he was becoming more and more proficient.

First, use Diao Chan as an entry point.

When Xu Shu came in just now, Diao Chan's performance was absolutely shocking, especially the huge contrast between her delicate appearance and her terrifying strength. It will leave a very deep impression on people, and at the same time, they will wonder in their hearts: "How on earth is it?"

Did she do it? Could it be that the woman was born with supernatural powers?"

What Liu Xuan had to do at this time was to give him an explanation: "Mr. Diao has been practicing Xuanmen magic with me for many years. It's not surprising that he has such ability!"

Seeing Xu Shu's surprised expression, Liu Xuan took a sip of water and paused, letting him digest the news before continuing.

"But that's nothing. In fact, there are many mysterious methods that Yuan Zhi hasn't seen, but..."

He stood up and waved to Xu Shu, asking him to follow him.

"I just have nothing to do, why don't Yuan Zhi accompany me around!"

At this time, Xu Shu was a little confused about what the situation was. The topic jumped too much, and it was something he had never been exposed to or even thought about before, which made him a little unable to react.

It seems that following the emperor can get the answer?

But when Xu Shu followed Liu Xuan onto the small hover car specially prepared for Liu Xuan to patrol and wander around, everything that appeared in front of him mercilessly changed his previous understanding.

Crush it to pieces.

A hovercar that can float in mid-air and move forward without livestock is no longer a rare thing, but there are quivers that can provide almost constant arrows, armor that is extremely hard but as light as silk, and crossbow arrows.

A unique weapon that can shoot arrows with just the movement of your fingers but does not require effort to load...

All of these were things that he had never dared to think about before, and the watch Liu Xuan specially gave him and the walkie-talkie he personally experienced made him understand what kind of changes these two things would bring to the world.

Until he walked around a lot and returned to the residence specially arranged for him, Xu Shu didn't come back to his senses. He just vaguely remembered what the emperor said to him: "This is just the beginning, the changes that are going to happen in this world."

, bigger than you think!”

"Besides, don't worry about your lifespan, I will naturally find a way to make you immortal!"

Immortality?

When Xu Shu finally came to his senses at night, the first word that flashed through his mind was this.

No one can resist such a temptation. After all, everyone hopes that they can live longer. Xu Shu is also a human being. Of course he hopes that he can live longer. What’s more, he finally saw his chance to get ahead. Who doesn’t want to be able to do well?

Are the days longer?

Otherwise, it would be too tragic to die of old age just after living a good life, and die before you even have time to enjoy it.

At the same time, Xu Shu also understood what the reward was for the emperor to ask him to do this, and that was immortality...

"But...is this true?"

He has heard a lot about immortality. There are many rumors among the people, including various rumors told by some Taoist priests, about beings who can live forever.

But I have heard about it, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. Even if I have seen it, it seems that there is no way to verify immortality, right?

I didn't know how to make a decision for a while, but Liu Xuan on the other side didn't need to worry about this kind of thing at all.

"Your Majesty, why don't you explain in detail?"

After Zhen Mi learned about what happened today, she immediately saw the problem.

Liu Xuan has not really proven that he can make Xu Shu immortal. In this case, will Xu Shu still agree? After all, he has to accept a very difficult task that may even take decades or even hundreds of years to complete, and the emperor

The biggest reward promised is something that is not very certain.

In this situation, anyone would be embarrassed, right?

But Liu Xuan didn't care at all, and reached out to stroke Zhen Mi's hair hanging behind her head: "If he is willing to believe in me, I can naturally guarantee his immortality, but if he doesn't believe it..."

It's not that he didn't notice this, it's just that he couldn't prove it. For example, Cao Cao and Lu Bu had followed him for so many years, and they didn't really believe in immortality. Even now, they still think that the skills taught by the emperor are

It is a wonderful way to prolong life.

Only time can prove everything, but time will not speed up the passage of time according to human will, so you can only choose someone who is willing to believe in you. If Xu Shu doesn't want to believe it, then he won't force it and just find someone else. Anyway,

The world is so big and there are so many talented people that I can’t believe that I can’t find the right one.

What's more, such an undercover mission depends entirely on the person's consciousness. Liu Xuan will not use family members to threaten him. What will the undercover agent thousands of miles away do and do? Will he follow his instructions?

The original order to complete this task was all based on self-consciousness, so if you don't trust the emperor enough, it's better not to send such a person.

It can be said that this is a small test for Xu Shu. In the end, it depends on his answer before deciding whether to really send him.

After briefly talking about it, Zhen Mi immediately understood what Liu Xuan meant.

This woman is very smart, but not very proficient in things like intrigues, so although she is rich in knowledge, she is not suitable for being an official.

But simply teaching and educating people is no problem. In addition, women are naturally more patient and delicate than most men, so they should be able to teach a group of outstanding students!

As I was thinking wildly, the night passed peacefully.

But for some people, this night is destined not to be peaceful. Although he is faced with only two choices, this situation is often the most confusing. So Xu Shu had insomnia and sat in front of the window looking at the moon.

I stared blankly all night.

Also suffering from insomnia was Cai Mao in Xiangyang City.

As the imperial army moved south, deployed with Fancheng as a stronghold, and launched an attack on Xiangyang, Cai Mao's life became more and more difficult day by day.

After Lu Bu successfully crossed the Han River, he did not hurriedly lead an army to attack Xiangyang. Instead, he set up camp thirty miles northeast of Xiangyang, and then did what he was doing quietly, as if he didn't notice.

It’s the same as going to Xiangyang City.

Even though Sun Cejun's forward troops had already arrived in Xiangyang, Lu Bu ignored him and instead sat back and watched Sun Cejun enter Xiangyang. This made Cai Mao even more confused. He couldn't figure out what Lu Bu was making.

"Just sitting back and watching our army's strength increase, what is Lu Bu's plan? Could it be that he wants to surround Xiangyang with soldiers and horses and trap us in the city?"

Cai Mao didn't know Lu Bu or the imperial army very well. In the end, Han Dang, the general of Sun Ce's army, sneered: "What a siege, then Lu Bu doesn't take us seriously at all. He just thinks it's too troublesome to fight again and again. He wants to

Just wait until we get together and defeat us in one fell swoop!”

Cai Mao was naturally furious when he heard this, but Han Dang didn't bother to talk to this guy - he didn't bother to talk to someone who could even murder his lord for his own benefit.

Han Dang is an old minister who has followed Sun Jian. In addition, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu are now working together to assist Sun Ce, Sun Jian's son. He is loyal to the Sun family and has great prestige in the army.

Naturally, when Sun Ce received help from Yu Ji, he immediately thought of these veterans. In addition, the only one he trusted was his sworn brother Zhou Yu.

It can be said that Han Dang is one of the earliest practitioners in Sun Ce's army, and his strength is also extremely strong. In addition, after several consecutive battles, he gradually has a clear understanding of his own strength, and his confidence is overwhelming, even in the face of being attacked.

Lu Bu, who is known as the most powerful general in the world, was not too worried.

It's just that... from the news he heard from Cheng Pu before setting off, he knew that the people of the imperial army could even affect the weather in a short period of time. He was defeated by that strange fog, which is really important.

Be careful, who knows what other tricks the people on the other side will play.

But judging from what Lu Bu means, does he want to fight face to face?
