Mythical Three Kingdoms

"At that time, Principal Ji came to the prisoner camp in Chang’an with Marquis Chen’s private seal. I was overseeing the camp, so I remember very clearly. Principal Ji needed five thousand experimental materials." Yu Jin lowered his head, speaking as calmly as possible, Li Youu’s gaze was simply terrifying.

"Five thousand people? I’m afraid in the end, the entire camp of hundreds of thousands of Miscellaneous Hun became like this!" Li Youu exploded, feeling it was all Ji Xiang’s doing, "You didn’t notice anything unusual at the time?"

"No, speaking of it, our management of the prisoners was very relaxed; as long as there wasn’t an uprising, we generally didn’t intervene. So I only discovered the problem recently." Yu Jin quickly responded.

"Xiaoo Zhi, go to Lord Xuande and present this to him; I’m going to eradicate the Heretical Sect." Li Youu said coldly, Fa Zheng, swept by Li Youu’s gaze, immediately rode towards Ye City. He understood Li Youu’s approach, acting first and reporting afterward, and being advised not to interfere.

"It’s better that Zichuan doesn’t know about this. Wen Ze, muster the troops, follow me to eradicate the School of Mind." Li Youu said coldly, and upon hearing this, Yu Jin was alarmed. In Yu Jin’s view, this was simply a suicidal act; in Ye City, only two people could freely mobilize troops.

Mobilizing troops in such a central place simply equated to rebellion, and Yu Jin utterly refused to bear that responsibility.

"Don’t trouble yourself, just pretend you know nothing." Li Youu drew the Sword, which was the original token Liu Bei used to let Chen Xi mobilize troops, and not long ago, Chen Xi lent it to Li Youu to handle aristocratic family matters. Chen Xi had yet to remember to retrieve it.

Speaking of it, Chen Xi had lent this Sword to many people. Lent it to Jia Xu, to Lub Su, to Li Youu.

Yu Jin saw the Sword in Li Youu’s hand and immediately froze, then nodded, refraining from saying more; with this item, Li Youu did indeed have the qualification to mobilize troops.

"What’s wrong, Zichuan." Lub Su saw Chen Xi’s face turning pale and immediately asked, frankly, he’d never seen Chen Xi look so troubled.

"Come with me." Chen Xi pressed his temples, trying to calm himself as much as possible. This time, he really hadn’t expected Ji Xiang to be so bold. Initially, it was agreed, only five thousand experimental materials were needed, but according to Sunx Qian’s letter, tens of thousands have likely already undergone the process.

"Go where?" Lub Su looked puzzled; he still had many tasks unfinished.

"To protect your aunt, then find a way to cover this up. This time you’re done for, your aunt really did exceptionally well." Chen Xi’s face was somewhat distorted, and at that moment, Mann Chong had already mobilized twenty city management teams to the doorway.

"Ha, Ji Xiang?" Lub Su was first stunned, then put his work aside, unconsciously asking, "What did she do to make you react this way?"

"Let’s go, talk on the way." Chen Xi didn’t bother to explain to Lub Su, stepping out directly, and Lub Su saw Chen Xi’s serious expression and quickly followed, still curious about what his aunt had done to make Chen Xi so agitated.

"Boning, take people with me to the mountain gate of the School of Mind." After exiting, Chen Xi spoke to Mann Chong.

"Alright." Mann Chong nodded, though puzzled, encircling the mountain gate posed no pressure.

Seeing Chen Xi hurriedly mount his horse, Lub Su immediately followed, "I say, Zichuan, what exactly did Ji Xiang do to make you so anxious?"

"She was going to Chang’an for research. Do you know what research she was doing?" Chen Xi voice-transmitted to Lub Su, who paused sensing something amiss in Chen Xi’s words.

"She said she needed a large number of samples herself, and there were many prisoners in Chang’an, so I issued the document for her protection to go there. What’s wrong, something wrong with the prisoners?" Lub Su’s transmission clearly had a protective tone.

"When she was in Chang’an, I arranged the permit allowing her into the prisoner camp. I knew what she was doing, knew what experiments she was performing, but I really didn’t expect she’d go to this extent." Chen Xi bitterly smiled, acknowledging Ji Xiang claimed five thousand samples, and he was preoccupied with the Emperor’s death, close to madness, lacking time for details.

Moreover, nothing peculiar occurred at the time, and as time passed, Chen Xi put it aside, thinking at worst, an extra five thousand brainwashed Hu People among hundreds of thousands didn’t matter. Who could anticipate Ji Xiang would escalate it so?

"What’s the matter, didn’t she just use more prisoners? If not, relocate those taken by Ji Xiang for her experiments elsewhere; previously, the solution was direct extermination anyway." Lub Su nonchalantly voice-transmitted.

"What made you feel Ji Xiang only used a portion of prisoners for this verification?" Chen Xi turned to ask Lub Su, immediately causing Lub Su alarm.

"You-you-you..." Lub Su looked at Chen Xi with disbelief, trembling.

"She likely used all the prisoners to verify her theory." Chen Xi exclaimed in despair, "If it were only thousands, tens of thousands, I wouldn’t react this way."

"Which aspect did she verify exactly?" Lub Su paused, asking, evident he’d been exploited by his aunt many times but still fundamentally protected her.

"Do you recall her school of thought’s name?" Chen Xi mournfully exhaled, indeed requiring cooperation in suppressing this matter, particularly Ji Xiang’s recent actions; thorough investigation would uncover Ji Xiang twisted people’s minds.

Even without deep probing, once Li Youu, Jia Xu, Guo Jia were informed of parts, they’d deduce the complete picture, definitely placing Ji Xiang on the hit list.

Chen Xi bringing troops held more significance in detaining Ji Xiang himself, thereby if Li Youu’s group opts for violent eradication of the dangerous element Ji Xiang, execution becomes difficult.

However, covering the matter alone is exceedingly arduous; Ji Xiang indeed stirred up significant trouble.

"School of Mind, focusing on Unity of Knowledge and Action, I attended a lecture," Lub Su turned puzzled to inquire.

"It seems you really care about your aunt," casually mentioned Chen Xi, causing Lub Su some embarrassment, accompanying his grandmother’s congratulatory visit to Ji Xiang.

"Forget it, I’ll be frank: this time, Ji Xiang caused major trouble. Although essentially she did nothing wrong, yet she demonstrated her danger," Chen Xi seriously told Lub Su.
