Chapter 30 The Imperative
An hour later, Ma Chao relied on the induction of the star selector, and it didn't take long for him and Zhou Yukun to catch up with Ma Yue and the others who left early.
The group converged again, but now there is a new partner, that is, Zhou Yukun, who has just arrived. His appearance immediately made Ma Chuling overjoyed. But before she could say anything, she saw Hu Yueyue pounce on her, hugged Zhou Yukun in her arms and cried, her expression was like a little girl.
Of course, in Zhou Yukun's eyes, Hu Yueyue is indeed just a child who has not grown up. He stroked her hair a little embarrassedly, and said softly, "Okay, okay, I'm not fine, right?" Yueyue, if you want to cry again, the people around you will see your crying face. ”
Hu Yueyue hid in Zhou Yukun's arms, and pouted dissatisfiedly: "Teacher, you ran away without making a sound yesterday, Yueyue thought you were going to leave me here!" ”
"This ......" Zhou Yukun paused, raised Hu Yueyue's face, and wiped away her tears: "Yueyue, you have to remember that although your parents have left you, as long as the teacher is still there, you will never be left alone." ”
He could feel that on the day he left, Hu Yueyue must have been very worried about himself. Perhaps in her heart, the most dear mother died mysteriously, and the most important father also died, and now only she is left as her family. One can imagine how attached she is to herself.
At the same time, Ma Chao also came to Ma Yue's side: "Father, fortunately, I have already corrected the bastard who killed the junior brother of the martial arts hall on the spot, so as to make up for my debt to them." ”
But Ma Yue shook his head bitterly: "Chao'er, you are wrong, that person is just a member of the enemy, our real enemy is the Wei State that took away Jumen City." One day, we will defeat them and return to our homeland! ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he nodded with a stern face, but quickly asked: "Father, now that we are homeless, what should we do next, we can't wander anywhere, right?" ”
At this time, Zhou Yukun had already come to their vicinity, and immediately said: "How about this, I have a good relationship with Liu Chan, the queen of Tiangang City, you can go to him first, I believe he will treat everyone well." ”
After thinking for a while, Ma Yue agreed. For one, he is now at the end of his rope, and there is no room for him to be picky; Second, he has also heard of Liu Chan's reputation, although he is not very old, he is very steady and has a sense of the overall situation.
Now that you've set your goal, it's time to set off. Originally, everyone wanted to take a train or plane to Tiangang City, but Zhou Yukun believed that since Cao Pi and others had grasped Jumen City, there must be a large number of people near the airport or railway station. Once they pass, they are caught in the net.
In desperation, they could only continue to ride the horses summoned by Ma Chao as a means of transportation. Fortunately, this horse is not an ordinary horse, its speed and endurance are extremely outstanding, and I believe that even if it is slower than a train, it is not too slow.
It's just a little bad, after all, it's a modern society, and even in some areas of Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia where the grasslands are vast, there are very few people who ride horses into the city. So, if they're galloping down the road in the open, they're the number one focus.
Speaking of which, when they ran out of the giant gate city, they were already out of the scope of the dream area, so ordinary people could also see them. What's more, they also rode horses on the crowded roads in the city, which immediately attracted many onlookers. There are even traffic police officers who were alarmed by this.
According to the current urban traffic laws, horses are not allowed to ride on the streets, so after these traffic police heard the news that they were riding horses, they soon drove the police car and started a city chase.
As for the final result, of course, it goes without saying that the mounts trained by Ma Chao can be caught up by these police cars? But I have to mention that this kind of thing is really crazy to ride a horse. If so many of them ride on the road without scruples, it is likely to make headlines, and it will inevitably attract Cao Pi's people to chase and kill them.
Therefore, they chose a more secluded path along the way, which delayed a lot of time. By the time they arrived in Tiangang City, four days had passed.
When they were in a hurry, Ma Chao and others all asked about Zhou Yukun's disappearance that day. Originally, Zhou Yukun wanted to hide the events of that day, after all, the relationship between the reincarnation and Sima Hui was the most important thing. But when I think about it, the people around me at this time are not outsiders, so even if I sue them, it doesn't matter.
So Zhou Yukun told the story of being taken away by the reincarnation, of course, including the story told during the period, the story about Zhao Jiong of Song Taizong. And after that, Zhao Jiong disguised himself as Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui's speculation, and so on!
After hearing this qiē, everyone fell into a deep shock, and only one of them was the most calm, that was Ma Chao's father, Ma Yue.
"From the first time I met him, I knew that this man was not simple. Chao'er, I also advised you before to ask you not to go to him, but you still didn't listen. You sued me, and how many questions did you ask at that time? ”
"Two." Ma Chao's expression was also extremely ugly, he never thought that Sima Hui was the mastermind behind the qiē of the director.
After that, Ma Yue asked in turn, among them, Hu Yueyue and the other two martial arts hall people belonged to the new generation of star selection, and they had not heard of Mr. Shui Jing's name. And Ma Chuling, Tong Yuan and others had only asked two questions, so Sima Hui's curse was not incorrigible.
Suddenly, Ma Chao's face changed, he turned his head to look at Wang Yiyi, and asked, "Yiyi, what about you, how many times have you asked Sima Hui." ”
Wang Yiyi turned her head away, originally thinking about Guò's silence perfunctory, but Ma Chao's stern gaze made her heart tremble: "Three...... Three. ”
"What!" Ma Chao was suddenly shocked, Zhou Yukun had already mentioned before that anyone who asked three questions was deeply affected by Sima Hui's curse, and there was almost no chance of survival. He couldn't believe that he had finally reunited with her, but it wouldn't be long before he would be separated from her forever?
"Yukun, do you know of any other way to lift this curse? No matter how dangerous the method, I can do it! ”
But Zhou Yukun didn't rush to answer his question, but looked at the strange woman: "Hello, can you tell me your star symbol?" ”
“…… Wang Yi. ”
Wang Yi? Zhou Yukun was slightly surprised, he was not too unfamiliar with this name, Wang Yi was an excellent female general in the late Wei Kingdom. But in history, she has a deep hatred with Ma Chao's family. But fortunately, the life span in history is not short, so there is no need to worry about her safety for the time being.
Zhou Yukun explained to Ma Chao that the method of killing people with this curse is related to fate in history. If you live a long life in history, then the curse cannot kill people immediately, but can only follow the pace of history.
If you want to lift the curse completely, there is only one way, and that is to get rid of the caster himself!
Although Zhou Yukun should have died due to the curse, because of the one Qi Qi paid by Jin Chuguo, he was freed from the reincarnation of fate and became a reincarnation, which made the curse invalid. But there can only be five reincarnators from ancient times to the present, so this method will definitely not work.
Compared with Ma Chao's children's affection, Ma Yue cares more long-term. He knew that if Sima Hui was allowed to act recklessly, it would inevitably be the end of the total destruction of the Star Elector. Even Ma Yue guessed that the reason why there was a star selector was all planned by Sima Hui, and he wanted to live forever, so he wanted to use the star selector to accomplish a certain purpose of his.
"Brother Sun Ce, if the truth is as you say, then we are probably running out of time. Since the dream was closed three years ago, Sima Hui has not appeared again, and he must be planning something behind the scenes. Now that you've become a reincarnation, have you come up with any plans to deal with him? ”
Zhou Yukun nodded seriously and said, "In order to ensure the secrecy of the plan, please forgive me for not telling everyone." But the first step we have to do now is to try to bring together as many scattered forces as possible, which is the basis for our ability to fight against Sima Hui. ”
There is no doubt about this, after all, it is rare for Zhou Yukun to tell them about such an important matter.
Later, in a single opportunity, Ma Chao called Zhou Yukun aside: "Yukun, tell me the truth, whether the curse of Sima Hui can be lifted." No matter how dangerous it is, I must give it a try. ”
Zhou Yukun said: "If you want to completely cure it, it is basically impossible. But remember, this curse is based on the fate of history. I can see that you have feelings for that girl named Wang Yiyi, so if you can guide her out of the cycle of history, maybe it will weaken the effect of the curse. ”
Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "I understand, I will definitely help Yiyi get rid of reincarnation." ”
Seeing that he was about to leave in a hurry, Zhou Yukun hesitated slightly, and suddenly called him out: "Senior brother, you wait......"
"Well, what, is there anything else?" Ma Chao turned his head suspiciously.
Zhou Yukun's expression was slightly complicated, and he organized a long-term language: "This, I know that you love Wang Yiyi deeply, but Chu Ling also likes you very much." Although I don't know exactly what the relationship between you is, I hope you can give Chu Ling a clear answer and don't make her too sad. ”
Of course, Zhou Yukun knows that he is not a master of love, but a very emotional failure. Not only Sun Ce's memories in the past, but also his expression of Yuan Xinwen in his freshman year, were not smooth.
One of the main reasons is that he is relatively passive in terms of feelings, and he is also not good at actively expressing his emotions. Therefore, he stood in the position of Ma Chuling's friend, hoping that Ma Chao could treat this girl with a strange temper on the surface, but in fact a kind heart.
But after Ma Chao heard this, he showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his face was strange: "Uh, hehe, junior brother, I understand, I understand what you mean." ”
Zhou Yukun was furious by his eyes, and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't realize that he had said anything wrong, there should be nothing strange about it, right?
Getting back to the point, when Zhou Yukun and others rushed for four days non-stop, they finally arrived safely in Tiangang City. At this point, the safety of Ma Chao and others has been settled.
Through the contact of Hu Yueyue, Li Xiaohu quickly led some people to welcome the arrival of Ma Chao and others. This time, Li Xiaohu did not refuse to accept the Ma family's forces because he was afraid of the strength of the Wei State; Judging from the fact that he personally came to greet him, he expressed his great enthusiasm.
After the arrangement was settled, Ma Chao's family temporarily lived in the Bibo Sea Courtyard as a foreign aid. Although there are not many people left in the Ma family, there are only a few elders such as Ma Yue, Han Sui, and Tong Yuan, and the remaining ones are Ma Chao, Ma Chuling, Wang Yiyi, and the two surviving martial arts disciples, named Ma Dai and Ma Xiu respectively.
The matter here was basically resolved, and Zhou Yukun's heart also settled down slightly, anyway, when he was still very weak, Ma Chao's family helped him a lot. As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, and it is natural for him to do these things.
Subsequently, he privately convened several important star electors in Shu, among which Li Xiaohu naturally didn't need to say much, as well as Qin Yue and Yang Xuan, Fa Zheng and Huang Zhong.
Regarding the speculation about the relationship between Zhao Jiong and Sima Hui, Zhou Yukun told it again. As for the shocked faces of everyone after hearing the news, I will not repeat it more. In short, after some discussion, Li Xiaohu decided to support Zhou Yukun's approach, since Sima Hui had killed many people, of course they couldn't sit still.
Next, after Zhou Yukun repaired in Tiangang City for three days, he decided to set off again. This time, his destination was Wenqu City, far south!
Since the plan made with the reincarnators was to unite the forces of all parties as much as possible, Wu Guo, who he was most familiar with, was of course the number one target. Although it should be very simple on the surface, after all, the relationship between Zhou Yukun and Wu is not trivial, but the actual situation is not optimistic, and the contradiction between Wu and Shu has reached a point that is difficult to resolve.
At this time, sitting on the plane to Wenqu City, Zhou Yukun had mixed feelings in his heart, both missing his brother and an inexplicable strangeness. Although he still remembered many acquaintances of Wu Guo in his heart, due to the countless reincarnations, they did not remember themselves at all. In other words, the Sun Ce in their memory is not themselves.
Suddenly, he felt someone tugging on his sleeve, turned his head to look, but found that it was Ma Chuling sitting next to him, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, look at your nervous face." ”
At this time, Ma Chuling didn't care about seeing outside, so he leaned into his ear in a panic, and whispered anxiously: "Yukun, it's not good, when I went to the bathroom before, I accidentally found some people ...... behind the cabin."
As soon as he said this, Zhou Yukun saw a fierce strong man walking into the cabin door, and glared at him viciously: "Okay, you little girl, you stole something, and you dare to run for Lao Tzu!" ”
