Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1062: Chapter 1018: Innate Knowledge

”Give me this map, I’ll take it back to study a bit,” Fa Zheng casually tried to roll up the map to take it away.

”I think I still want it,” Jia Xu said, rolling his eyes, ”Forget about it, this thing isn’t something we can handle right now. Just leave it with Zichuan; only here can it truly be safe.”

”Hmm, Wen He knows me well. Chen Xi rolled up the map and said, ”This map, you just need to remember it, don’t draw it out. It’s nothing but trouble in the end.” Chen Xi nodded, ”Besides, there are some mistakes in it. Although they’re minor, this map can’t be used as a template; you still need to investigate further.”

”Actually, the more significant purpose of this map is for us to break free from previous shackles and better utilize all our power. As long as we remain stable at our level, the chaos at the middle and lower levels is insignificant,” Guo Jia understood why Chen Xi showed them this map.

”Exactly, it’s not useful now; it’s more of a warning to keep us vigilant,” Chen Xi nodded.

”After all, once we reach the end, if we, still young, don’t encounter any disputes over beliefs, that would be odd. Finding something to do is normal,” Liu Ye said with a bitter smile. It’s because their influence has reached certain limits that various disputes have arisen. Throughout history, various forces have united in the early stages to overcome difficulties, only to fall before the finish line.

”Indeed, so the targets I set for you are high. We’re obligated to deal with the Kushan and Parthia, and if we still have energy left after that, we can have a go with Great Qin,” Chen Xi said solemnly.

Under the previous indoctrination of lies, Kushan and Parthia had become immensely formidable in Jia Xu and the others’ eyes. And if there’s still an opponent after toppling these two, naturally, that opponent would be even stronger.

Seeing the others’ slightly bitter expressions, Chen Xi laughed and said, ”Don’t worry. If we can subdue Kushan and Parthia, going hand-to-hand with Great Qin, which is Rome, is no problem. We won’t launch a nation-destroying war, just a few exchanges.”

Their expressions became even more bitter. Smart people love to analyze different things from information, and Chen Xi’s words led them to deduce even more, such as the Roman Empire being definitely stronger than Kushan and Parthia, otherwise, it wouldn’t just be a few exchanges.

”You’ll know when we engage in the future,” Chen Xi didn’t explain further. He was very pleased with Guo Jia and the others’ current expressions. Being vigilant is crucial for these people; complacency easily leads to mistakes.

”Alright, none of this is important now. The most crucial task is to rebuild Jizhou and Yuzhou, strengthening our national power is the most important thing. Compared to Cao Cao, we are very powerful, but it’s still not enough,” Chen Xi gestured to end the meeting, indicating that they should all return to rest.

”I’m actually curious about how you know all this,” as everyone got up to leave after Chen Xi served tea to see off the guests, Guo Jia took a step forward, then paused, looking at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was slightly taken aback, then smiled without answering, but the inscrutable expression on his face seemed to acknowledge others’ speculations.

”Alright, if you don’t want to say, forget it,” Guo Jia was indifferent, but from Chen Xi’s expression, they sensed something unusual.

”Born to know?” Lub Su was slightly bitter.

”Born to know? How is that possible?” A flash of disbelief crossed Jia Xu’s eyes. Connecting with many of Chen Xi’s inconsistencies, yet seemingly certain as if experienced a thousand times, Jia Xu’s Spiritual Talent clearly sensed Chen Xi’s peculiarity. Based on Chen Xi’s learning ability, such a level was unexpected.

”That’s fine too,” Liu Ye chuckled bitterly but felt much relieved. Losing to a mortal is frustrating, but if the opponent is a Sage, isn’t losing natural? There’s nothing to be unwilling about, so Liu Ye adjusted his mindset.

After seeing everyone off, Chen Xi gently caressed the map, a smile appearing on his face. Regardless of how much Li Youu and others believed, Chen Xi knew that from this moment, they had once again returned to the mindset of when Mount Tai was first established.

”Are you really going to give him this abundant land? For long-term peace, establishing an enemy from the same source, but this twenty-seven million hectares of fertile land, it’s truly too hot to handle,” Chen Xi mused silently over a certain part of the map, his voice extremely low, audible only to himself.

The group left in twos and threes, Li Youu and Jia Xu boarded a black carriage and left unhurriedly, but not back to their homes, rather heading away from their residences, needing some cold wind to clear their minds.

”How much do you believe?” After a long silence, Li Youu, with eyes closed, leaned against the carriage and asked.

”I believe everything except the strength judgment,” Jia Xu slowly opened his eyes.

”I’ve basically accepted Zichuan’s judgment. Parthia and Kushan are truly formidable opponents, so we also need to exert more effort,” Li Youu nodded. Although they all sensed the inaccuracies in Chen Xi’s words, overall, Chen Xi did not deceive them. For Sages, truths and lies require self-discernment.

”First reclaim the land that belongs to us, ten years is enough for us to accomplish many things,” Jia Xu said slowly, ”To the world, you are more important than I am. I’m skilled in military tactics, while you specialize in governance, well balanced in Military Strategies.”

”Internal affairs are left to Zichuan and Zijing to worry about. I just need to focus on what I’m doing now, each doing their part to the best of their ability,” Li Youu said calmly, having adjusted his mindset, for a Sage, level-headed judgment is an indispensable Attribute.

On the other side, Guo Jia and Fa Zheng sat in a carriage. Contrary to Jia Xu and Li Youu’s somber mood, these two were much more cheerful.

”I always feel something’s off,” Fa Zheng said after taking a sip from the bamboo flask of liquor hidden in Guo Jia’s sleeve.

”There are lots of things off,” Guo Jia replied exasperatedly, ”But overall, Zichuan’s content is true.”

”Ziyang is really annoying at this point, doing this so many times, and now he wants to act like this again,” Fa Zheng, this child, was not afraid to offend people.

”Don’t you feel pressured? Ziyang has his own pursuits. After all, his surname is Liu,” Guo Jia laughed.

”Hope there won’t be a next time, it’s already come to this extent. Next time if he does this again, I’ll definitely trip him up,” Fa Zheng said dissatisfied.

Having a Spiritual Talent related to human heart, Fa Zheng understood human nature well, but saying this in front of Guo Jia was another type of misunderstanding of human nature. Chen Xi’s words weren’t just about Liu Ye, it was that Liu Ye bore the brunt! (To be continued.
