Chapter 57: Pattern and Listening
In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed, and Wenqu City, which has entered the end of autumn, is gradually getting cooler.
But for such a long time, let alone seeing Jin Chuguo himself, he couldn't even see his shadow. The teachers of the archaeology department also didn't know much about this old man, except that he was knowledgeable in historiography, and even his contact information was not clear, which made Zhou Yukun very strange.
Similarly, this also made him even more suspicious of Jin Chuguo, otherwise how could a normal person not disclose the contact information to his students?
Suddenly, he remembered that after returning to his dream last night, he took the initiative to ask Du Yong to leave. In the past half a month, he has followed Du Yongnan's southern expedition to the north, and has wiped out all the Yellow Turban troops in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou. At the same time, he also heard about a major event in Chang'an City, which was about Hu Zhen.
Hu Zhen, who was elected to the first place by many star selectors, rightly became the head of the hundred officials in the new government - the prime minister! And those who surrounded Hu Zhen were divided into a piece of land, and other areas other than those occupied by Guo Chengyan and Du Yong were divided to these guys one by one.
As a result, the current dream world is no longer the peaceful and peaceful unified country it used to be, but has become a divided situation occupied by various princes. Among them, there are three parties with the most power, one of which is the high-powered Hu Zhen, who not only has a large number of star electors and troops, but also has an extremely loud official position.
The second is that Guo Chengyan, who currently occupies the widest area, the territory of the three major states, and the largest number of Star Elect subordinates, so that he has firmly sat on the strongest throne of the princes in various places.
Third, there is only Du Yong's force where Zhou Yukun is currently located, and he also has the territory of three large states, but he can't compare to Guo Chengyan in terms of army and Hu Zhen in terms of reputation, but he has another strongest aspect, that is, the economy! As the saying goes, it's not human lives that are fought in wars, but money.
Du Yong's power is located in the Central Plains, the land is flat and fertile, the people are rich, and the annual income of any state can easily catch up with the sum of the other two states, it is conceivable how rich Du Yong is now, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the richest person among the Star Pickers.
Although Du Yong is now a strong backer, Zhou Yukun knows that he doesn't have a deep friendship with him, and he can't pin his hopes on him. What's more, even if I am a good brother who has been born and died with him, will he really take me seriously? Just think about the results of his and Guo Chengyan's sworn brothers, and you can easily get the answer.
The longer the contact time, the more Zhou Yukun can see the nature of Du Yong. Of course, he is no longer a child, and he will definitely not evaluate Du Yong with good people and bad people, but from his personal point of view, he doesn't like Du Yong very much. Because he found that Du Yong was an extremely indifferent person to his feelings, and he could completely ignore others for his own purposes, even his brothers!
As for what his ultimate goal is, Zhou Yukun can see it very simply, Du Yong's ambition is very big, and from the strong ** he showed when he saw the map, he knew that he wanted this world, wanted to stand at the peak of this world, or become the real emperor of this world.
And there can only be one person who becomes an emperor! Therefore, he resolutely broke with his sworn brother, because he also knew his brother's character, and the two would definitely embark on the road of duel in the end.
For Zhou Yukun, who attaches great importance to family affection and friendship, he must not be able to agree with Du Yong's behavior, so he felt that he had paid off Du Yong's favor, so he wanted to leave Du Yong's power and go to various places in the dream world by himself to find Sima Hui who saw the head but did not see the tail.
Thinking so, Zhou Yukun silently said: "Back to dream", and then lay down on the bed.
In the dream at this time, Zhou Yukun's location was in Shouchun City in Yangzhou. The choice of the place of departure here was also carefully considered by him. First of all, Du Yong has been carefully searched in the three prefectures of Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and has not found anyone named Sima Hui; Secondly, Guo Chengyan is located in the north, he and Du Yong are now in a hostile state, and I believe that as long as I pass, I will definitely arrest myself without hesitation, so the north can only give up.
In the end, in the west is Hu Zhen, who has just ascended to the throne of prime minister, and Zhou Yukun, who has already had some conflicts with him, but he doesn't want to take the initiative to go to others to find himself bored, in case Hu Zhen is small-minded and doesn't forgive himself, it won't be good. As a result, he could only set his sights on the relatively unfamiliar south first.
Judging from the information obtained by Du Yong, Hu Zhen assigned Yangzhou to a man named Zhu Hong. It is said that this Zhu Hong's power is also quite small, although he has not been in the dream world for a long time, but he soon gathered a large number of star selectors, so Hu Zhen gave him a piece of treasure land when he allocated the territory, you must know that the area of Yangzhou is very large.
Coming out of the room where he lived, Zhou Yukun breathed hard into the humid air of the early morning, and couldn't help but sigh a little, the air in the south is indeed much fresher, but it is very similar to the environment of Wenqu City. Of course, judging by geographical location, Wenqu City should be regarded as a subordinate county of Yangzhou in ancient times, and it is not surprising that the climate is similar.
Coming to the first floor of the inn, Zhou Yukun found the boss, asked for some food at random and sat on a vacant seat. I remember that most of the TV shows like this, and in ancient times, the place to eat was the best place to inquire about the news, as long as you sit here for a while, there will be some passers-by A and passerby B discussing the latest "hot news" loudly.
So, Zhou Yukun, who had eaten breakfast all morning, left the inn with an ugly face. Now he just wants to scold the writers and directors of those TV series, who the sues you for finding out the news in the inn? Everyone is eating their own food quietly, and at most some people are chatting in low voices, and they can't hear anything at all, okay?
Zhou Yukun, who had been sitting in vain all morning, hurried to leave this sad place, he didn't want to continue to waste his time. Wandering around the streets, he found that the population of this Shouchun City seemed to be relatively sparse, and he didn't see a few people after walking for half a day. And everyone's face was a little pale, but there was still a faint sense of joy. The strangest thing is that everyone still has a small cloth bag in their hands, and they don't know what it is for.
But he didn't walk long when he suddenly heard a loud gong sound in the distance, and then he saw that all the people in the street raised their heads sharply and ran in the direction from which the gong came from with an excited face.
Zhou Yukun, who didn't understand the situation, was still standing in place stupidly, completely unaware of why these people were running so fast. In such a stunned manner, a large number of people ran out of each household, and the crowd that rushed up almost knocked Zhou Yukun away.
I'm going, what's the situation, do the people of Shouchun City like to listen to dramas so much? As soon as the gong sounded, everyone ran over there as if they were dying?
