Chen Xi looked at the soldier who had thrown a boulder weighing several hundred pounds away, speechless as he gazed at the heavens. Was this really the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? It seems illogical that Lü Bu single-handedly broke through an army of ten thousand. Zhao Zilong is truly possessed by the dragon spirit; he can cleave mountains with a single sword strike. Is this really a human? Dian Wei single-handedly protected Cao Cao as they fought their way out of the enemy camp, casually slaughtering thousands of enemy infantry and cavalry. His combat prowess was off the charts! Something's not right here, is it? Chen Xi casually picked up a goose feather fan and waved it, creating a strong wind. He sighed, "This is a myth, isn't it? Even I'm not normal." P. S.: Actually, this is a serious farming/development story...

Curator note

During the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, a young warrior named Hu Ben suddenly appeared. He was Luo Shixin, the historical prototype of Luo Cheng in the historical novel. He joined the army at the age of fourteen, and once rode alone to challenge the enemy on the battlefield, but no one dared to answer. Emperor Yang of Sui heard of his reputation and ordered a painter to paint a portrait of him on the battlefield for him to see. He was loyal and righteous, brave and fierce. He fought on the battlefield for only six years, but he was a veteran of countless battles and had a great reputation for bravery. During the Tang Dynasty's campaign against Liu Heita, Luo Shixin, with only two hundred men, held off Liu Heita's tens of thousands of troops in the devastated town of Mingshui. After eight days and nights of fierce fighting, he was captured at the young age of twenty and died a heroic death. Qin King Li Shimin was deeply saddened and posthumously awarded him the title of "Yong" (, meaning brave/courageous). A modern man accidentally travels back to the early Tang Dynasty and possesses the body of Luo Shixin. At that time, Mingshui City has just fallen and Luo Shixin has only one day left. Starting with the most tragic time travel, and in the name of "courage," a new legend is created.
