Looking at the image displayed on the communicator, Xu Shu's face became thinner, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and the neat and clean beard wrapped in a turban on his head was condensed together, with many hanging on it.

Grains of sand——It seems that Xu Shu is living in a very bad environment.

"How are you doing lately?"

Xu Shu should be in a very safe environment. At least he can report the situation to Liu Xuan without worrying about being disturbed by others.

However, the specific situation is not so happy.

It turned out that after Zhang Lu was beaten and fled from the Han Dynasty, he was not prepared to go to the west as Xu Shu said. Instead, he waited for opportunities beside the Han Dynasty, and even established relations with some countries in the Western Regions.

But those countries are not fools. They are not willing to take the lead. They even want Zhang Lu to be the first bird. Zhang Lu really wanted to do that at first. He felt that as long as he made some achievements, these greedy Westerners would definitely flock to him.

It seemed to rush forward, wanting to take a serious bite.

But what he didn't expect was that he himself was bitten hard by the people from the Western Regions first! If it weren't for his relatively good cultivation and some close followers protecting him desperately, Zhang Lu's power would have been completely destroyed in the hands of the Western Regions countries.

.

Xu Shu was the person who gained Zhang Lu's trust during that breakout. After thinking about the incident for quite some time, Zhang Lu decided to head west to see if he could find any opportunities - the big man couldn't stay any longer, and he was next to the big man.

He could no longer stay in the Western Regions, especially after this incident, Zhang Lu hated these Western Regions to the bottom of his heart. He was determined to regain his strength and kill them all to vent his anger.

The hatred in his heart.

But heading west is not that simple.

Anxi and Kushan are the two most powerful families from the Western Regions to the Mediterranean, almost carving up the best areas. In addition, there are very obvious racial differences between the people living in these lands and the Han people, which makes the development of Zhang and Lu

It didn't go well - Liu Xuan originally thought that the little capital he had left could help him start a business smoothly, but this idiot almost squandered this little capital, and then he fell into a dilemma.

"Where are you now?"

"We have arrived at the territory of Parthia!"

Parthia, its real name should be the Parthian Empire, and Parthia is what the Han people call it. If Liu Xuan remembers correctly, Parthia is now at its weakest period, and will soon be conquered by the emerging Persian Sassanid Dynasty.

Destroy it and become the new owner of that piece of land.

Xu Shu was an outstanding talent, and it was impossible for him not to notice this, even though it had not been long since he arrived in Parthia.

At the same time, this is Zhang Lu's last chance. If he cannot rally a team again in a short period of time and become a force that can compete with the Persian Sassanid Dynasty, then there will no longer be a foothold for him east of the Mediterranean.

"I understand what to do!"

After explaining the general situation to Xu Shu, Xu Shu immediately understood what the emperor meant.

"If Zhang Lu can't succeed, come back!"

In the end, Liu Xuan felt that it was okay if Zhang Lu couldn't succeed, but it would be too bad to bring in such an outstanding talent as Xu Shu, so he told him that if things couldn't be done, he would leave Zhang Lu and return to the Han Dynasty directly.

At that time, the imperial court will naturally make appropriate arrangements for Xu Shu.

When Xu Shu heard what the emperor said, although Xu Shu would not burst into tears of gratitude immediately and say anything about swearing to serve the emperor to the death, he would feel much better in the end, and at least he would have the energy to do things in the future.

After ending his communication with Xu Shu, Liu Xuan let out a sigh of relief.

After confirming the current situation of the two families released, Liu Xuan also had a general direction in his mind.

"There is no need to worry about Zhang Lu now. What happens next depends on how far he can go. The situation of the Sun family has stabilized. We just need to wait until the appropriate time to pick the fruits..."

"Huh? I seem to have forgotten something?" When he mentioned the Sun family, Liu Xuan always felt that he had overlooked something. Just now he called Yu Ji over to see if he could remember it through the conversation with Yu Ji, but there was no result.

Thinking of the Sun family, that feeling came back again.

He frowned and thought for a long time, until the dragon qi brilliance that occasionally flashed out of the Tianji Pavilion reminded him.

"Why did you forget this thing!"

Slapping his forehead hard, Liu Xuan wondered why he had always ignored such an important thing. But where is that thing now? Whether it is still in the hands of the Sun family, he doesn't know yet.
