Map of Mountains and Rivers, by the Luoshui River.
"This, this is the world after death?" Zhang Jie held up her apricot-yellow flag and walked cautiously in the "Mountains, Rivers and State Map".
"Well, at least, it's a transit point." Zhao Yun, who was leading the way, replied.
Although the city in the "ruin" state has been restored to its "original state" due to some actions of the "fairy", the sky, rivers, buildings, roads and "pedestrians" all present a depressing atmosphere, representing the "
The smell of "end".
Because he has been traveling between the "picture" and the "real world" for many years, Zhao Yun is no longer afraid of the ghosts who reappear the scene of their death if they disagree with each other, but Zhang Jie is obviously not that good.
The decisiveness and strength she showed when she sent people to support the "White Wave Taiping Road" and took the opportunity to follow them disappeared after entering the "gap".
She held up the apricot-yellow flag and put up an amber shield like an eggshell around her body, following Zhao Yun step by step. It was precisely because of this thing that it "resonated" with the "Belt Edict".
, so that she can see and enter the "Picture of Mountains, Rivers and Society" without falling into a deep sleep.
As for Zhang Jiao, because he didn't want his daughter to know that he had been caring about her, he ran back to Julu early after Zhang Jie expressed his intention to enter the Shanhe Sheji Tu.
Zhao Yun was a little strange at first, but after hearing that it was actually a gift from "Lin Hao Fairy", he stopped pursuing it - all her actions always have their own purpose. If you can't understand it for the time being, it's probably because the timing is not right.
arrive.
At this time, the "Baibo Taiping Road" large force was still some distance away from Luoyang. When Zhao Yun proposed to Zhang Jie that he should first go to Luoyang through the "Mountain and River Sheji Map" to investigate, she insisted on following - and then she was frightened.
Such a look.
"Why, why do you have to come to Luoshui first?" Zhang Jie stared to avoid all the seemingly confused souls on the way. She probably thought that as long as they didn't suddenly "perform", they wouldn't look so scary.
"Since we have come to Luoyang, of course we have to visit the owner. She may provide us with some conveniences." Zhao Yun looked up and down the Luoshui River, but did not see the small boat.
"Master? That 'fairy'?" Zhang Jie also took two steps forward curiously.
"No, she should just be the 'fairy' who foresaw the situation in Luoyang at this time and deliberately arranged it here," Zhao Yun thought, "even if she refuses to help, Master Tong who has been staying in Luoyang..."
Wow! A huge splash of water suddenly appeared on the Luoshui River, and then a "man" who looked like a servant poked his head out of the water, waving his arms and shouting for help: "Help, help! - Gulu Gulu!"
He struggled and fluttered for a few breaths, then waved his arms wildly, and then gradually approached the shore. Zhao Yun could even see a smile of survival on his panicked face, and then, only a "boom" sound was heard.
A flying arrow shot from the void, hitting the vest of the struggling man in the water, and then he sank with a look of reluctance.
Obviously, because Zhang Jie was only paying attention to the dead souls on the shore and accidentally got too close to the river, which triggered the "pre-death situation" of a guy who died in the river, she had already hid before that person started performing.
Back behind Zhao Yun.
"Judging from the size of the water splashed by this man and the shooting angle of the arrow, he should have been thrown from a tall ship, and he was shot when he was about to reach the shore, which proves that he was not dead.
The water bandits robbed the ship, but were silenced." Zhao Yun analyzed: "In addition, the clothes he wore did not look like an ordinary servant, but more like a 'messenger disguised as a servant.'"
"You can become a widower if you want. At least the cause of death will never be mistaken." Since the man who died in the water disappeared under the water, Zhang Jie became a little bolder.
"If you see someone showing the scene before death again, analyzing their 'cause of death' and 'resurrection difficulty' should be a good way to avoid fear." Zhao Yun responded.
"Resurrection?" Zhang Jie seemed to be even more frightened, fearing that the walking corpses around her would suddenly come to life.
"It's not what you think. The so-called resurrection refers to 'reasonably reappearing in this world'." Zhao Yundao said: "For example, the person just now was shot in the river by an arrow. He was suspended in death and was saved by others."
Very easy to find.”
"[You guessed it well, Xiaoyun~]" Following a voice whose pitch was difficult to judge, a wooden boat suddenly appeared on the Luoshui River, and the person standing on it was a man with short hair and red armor, carrying a
The "Luoshen" with a giant scythe, and as she appeared, four spots of light, three small and one large, appeared out of thin air in the dim sky, rotating slowly like a four-leaf clover.
"Why Xiaoyun..." Zhao Yun repeated helplessly.
"[Otherwise, I'll call you 'Little Dragon'," Luo Shen said as she swung her sickle in the water. Then, the servant who had been sunk by an arrow just now was hooked out of the water by his collar with the tip of the sickle.
"What are you—" Zhao Yunqi said.
"[As for me, I'm going to 'resurrect' this guy now, so that you can understand the situation in Luoyang, and I can also return someone's favor. It can be said that I kill three birds with one stone~]" "Luoshen" tilted his head slightly, and the frame
The boat turned sideways, facing Zhao Yun and Zhang Jie: "[Get on the boat~]"

General's Mansion, side hall.
"What the villain said, cough cough! Every word is true, cough cough cough!"
The messenger disguised as a servant had returned to the "real world" at this time, but he looked very miserable. Not only did he have many scratches on his body, his hands and feet were splinted, and blood was still oozing out from the bandages that had been properly wrapped on his chest and back.
He was lying on a stretcher and reporting the previous experience to General He Jin: "After Zhang asked him to find out the information about the villain, he - ahem! He threw the villain into the river and had him shot again.
Fortunately, the little man was saved by an arrow. He sank and resurfaced and was rescued by a family of fishermen. He recovered from his injuries today and immediately returned to report to the general - cough cough cough!"
He Jin had a fat body and a arrogant face. Even in the robes of a general, he looked quite nondescript. It was difficult to imagine that he could be the brother of the beautiful queen regardless of his heart.
He waved his hand and ordered his servants to take the messenger away for training. He turned to several staff and asked: "Those eunuchs either support Liu Xie or support Bian'er. There should be no reason to conceal the news of the arrival of the 'Princess Wannian'. Now,
Is it possible that other factions misled us?"
"This is unlikely," one of the staff responded: "Unless the 'misleader' is someone who can perfectly disguise himself as Zhang Rang, and is also a marksman who can accurately shoot through people without killing them.
, rather than misleading others, it is more appropriate to think about the meaning of Zhang Rang's move."
"Well, that makes sense." He Jin nodded heavily.
"As for why Zhang Rang deliberately concealed the news of Liu Nai's arrival from the general, I have a guess," another aide said: "He wanted to join forces with Cao Mengde."
"Oh?" He Jin turned to look at him.
"At this time, the eunuchs, royal relatives, and ministers are not giving in to each other, and their influence affects the whole body. When they cannot gain the upper hand, it is natural for them to seek help from outside forces. In addition to Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Youzhou
, people from Jingzhou, Yizhou and other places may also come to participate, after all, they all have the surname Liu."
"How unreasonable... Even so, how are they going to contact the outside world?" He Jin asked with a frown.
The staff member only said two words and He Jin suddenly realized: "Sword Master".
The staff member continued: "If nothing unexpected happens, there should be many foreign forces trying to enter Luoyang next. Of course, they will have their own plans, either to contact the courtiers or to rescue the emperor, and they will definitely not be as planned by Zhang Rang and others.
Act accordingly.”
"Then tell me, what should I do?" He Jin nodded repeatedly.
"In the opinion of my subordinates, when the force of 'foreign officials' is bound to enter Luoyang, the general should eliminate the force with the smallest number and weakest strength in advance to take advantage of it, that is -" the staff asked
He raised his hand in the direction of the palace: "To share your Majesty's worries, get rid of the ten regular servants."
"But, after all, they were trained by sword masters..." He Jin was still hesitant.
"If there is a grand siege, the Sword Master will naturally be able to stop it, but if Zhang Rang is dead, can he still attack the emperor himself?" The aide said: "If you want the Sword Master to have no time to stop him, all you need to do is ask the Queen.
It's enough for the 'Diao Chan' under the Empress to cause trouble all over Luoyang, but those women were also 'hand-trained' by the Sword Master."
"Haha! Kong Zhang's plan is brilliant!" He Jin laughed loudly, "I will follow your plan! I will go to Yao... empress tomorrow to discuss this plan."
————
"How did this man named Kong Zhang deduce the correct argument when all the arguments and arguments were wrong?" Zhao Yun, who was watching the map of mountains and rivers, was surprised.
"The general wants to eliminate the ten permanent servants? Wouldn't that be great? If a dog bites a dog, it will be a hairy mouth." Zhang Jie thought for a while and asked.
"Throughout the past dynasties, the goal of the so-called 'Qinwang' and 'Qingjun side' has been to get rid of the powerful ministers or eunuchs around the emperor. But if He Jin takes the first step to eradicate the ten permanent servants, the armies heading to Luoyang will instantly emerge from nowhere - after all
I have never heard that 'King Qin' wants to deal with the queen." Zhao Yun frowned slightly.
"This result was caused by the 'resurrection' of the messenger." Zhang Jie seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at "Luo Shen": "I wonder what you think of the situation in Luoyang?"
"[I don't care if they call back and forth, but the workload will obviously increase. I will send you to old man Tong Yuan right now. If you have any questions, just ask him. I should be very busy next time, very busy...
…】" "Luoshen" said in an uncertain manner, turned the ship around, and sailed away from the General's Mansion.
Naturally, there was no Luoshui passing through the General's Mansion. At this time, the ship was sailing on an aerial river that appeared out of thin air and had no head or tail.
