Chapter 018: Looking for a chance to win in space again
When he came out of the firewood room, Xie Zuo's face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping water, and his whole body exuded an aura that no one could approach, and even his personal scholar did not dare to get too close, for fear that this evil fire would fall on his head.
Xie Zuo didn't have the heart to pay attention to the others at all now, and went straight back to his bedroom with a black face. I closed the door, sat down on the floor, and thought about it with my head in my hands.
The situation known from the white import is very bad, and it can even be called very dangerous! The robbery of Xie Mansion was indeed premeditated by Panshanzhai, and there was a key instruction in it: it must take the life of the young master of the Xie family!
Although Bai Jin didn't know whether this was an order issued from the county guard, it was an indisputable fact that Panshanzhai had colluded with the Huinan County Guard. It's just that it is said that the instructions sent over there have always only been one-line contacts with the big boss of Panshanzhai, and the details of it, except for the big boss, the rest of the people are unknown.
And that's not all. According to Bai Jin's confession, this guy has already agreed with the big boss that if he unfortunately misses, the big boss will do his best to invade Xinshan Village! The dark one can't do it, and the people are directly it!
And the time of the invasion is set for three days later!!
Nima! Although there are only more than 100 thieves in Panshanzhai, plus those who stay in the cottage, there are no more than 100 people who can really rob Xie Mansion. But it also depends on who the opponent is, just with all the servants of the Xie family, counting Xie Zuo himself, there are only twenty-seven people, and it is not enough to really give people a dish for two mouthfuls!
Blocking is definitely not stopping, and hiding is not a good way. People can hide, but they can't hide from the baggage of the house, right? In case someone burns it down, the Xie family will really become homeless homeless children at that time! And the crux of the matter is that the target of the human thieves is locked onto themselves, even if they dodge this time, who dares to guarantee that there will be no next time? There has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days?
And ask the government to send troops to protect ...... Since he learned that Panshanzhai was related to the county guard's mansion, Xie Zuo rejected this idea. Don't let the officers and soldiers fail to suppress the bandits and treat themselves as bandits, then they will be called lifting a stone and shooting themselves in the foot. What's more, the old housekeeper also said that in the entire Hexi County, only the county seat has two full-time soldiers, and the full number is only two hundred. Just these two hundred pampered old soldiers, they really don't have to be the opponents of fierce and bloodthirsty bandits! Such a high-risk and low-reward thing, Xie will only consider it after his left brain is pumped!
As for why the county guard wanted to put himself to death, Bai Jin didn't know, and Xie Zuo didn't bother to investigate it deeply. What's the point of knowing why? Do you dare to go to the county guard to ask for an understanding! If you really do this, then you dare to be kind, no one needs to make the thieves do this in private, they only need to install a sensational or criminal charge, and press the Xie family to death openly, not to mention how easy it is!
In this way, the Xie family seems to have only a dead end. Could it be that his career has just begun and is about to end? I thought that being riddled with foreign debts and enemies everywhere was the limit, who would have thought that in the face of the existential crisis of the invasion of bandits, it would not be a problem!
I bought a watch last year! Xie Zuo gritted his teeth and thought viciously, let my brother go to this world for a while, but it will not be possible to walk around? Phew! Brother doesn't believe in this evil! How to say that it is also a dignified person, and he can't even deal with a group of bandits, so what is the future, it is better to roll up and cover the bed as soon as possible!
Xie Zuo took three deep breaths in a row and forced himself to calm down. Anxiety or resentment is useless now, and it is the right thing to think calmly about how to overcome the crisis.
What are the advantages of myself compared with ordinary people in this era?
The small body with fine skin and tender meat naturally cannot be compared with the fighting man, and even the village man who is used to doing farm work is probably inferior; Savvy? I'm afraid it's not necessarily, at least compared to the old fritters who have been in the officialdom all year round, I'm afraid they will be slightly inferior.
In summary, the only advantage is probably the vision and insight that is thousands of years ahead of this time and space, and the knowledge and technology that have not yet appeared in this era!
Unfortunately, even if we understand the benefits of equality between people and pigs, what is the benefit of the advantages of the imperial examination system in the real crisis? And in just three days, there is no need to think about the aircraft artillery, even if it is gunpowder, I am afraid that it will not be able to be made in three days, right?
After doing the math, it seems that the only reliance is the not very reliable star map system, which can be supplemented a little.
Looking at the time, the sun had just begun to set westward, and it was still early before dinner, Xie Zuo decided to re-enter the system to find out.
Recite the "Star Map" three times silently, and a flower in front of me has already entered the bright starry sky. Looking up, I was surprised to find that there was a small patch of stars in the starry sky, which was slightly brighter than other areas. Although the light is limited, it is quite conspicuous against the background of the dim stars.
"Welcome the map master back to the star map space."
The voice of the system sounded, and Xie Zuo didn't have the psychology to change the stars, and said straightly: "Do you want to get a reward, the only way is to carry out the task?" ”
"Pay to get something, the cycle of heaven has been the same since ancient times."
Xie Zuo was not surprised, nodded slightly, and asked again: "Then can I do the mission again now?" How many stars can you make? ”
"Usually there is an interval between tasks, and after the completion of a one-star mission, there is a cooldown time of one day, two days for two stars, four days for three stars, seven days for four stars, and ten days for five stars. However, the last time the figure owner completed the trial mission, there is no need for space cooling, so it is not included in the interval limit. Although the map owner currently has five points of mapping soul power, because he can't cross the star level, he can only open a two-star mission at most. ”
Can only be done as a two-star? Xie Zuo was a little disappointed. However, it would be good to skip the cooldown and start directly, so I thought about it and asked, "Can I carry items in the real world, the star map, and the mission space-time?" ”
"Because it's a parasitic soul, it can't be carried unless it's an item that is linked to a soul."
"What is an item that is linked to a soul?"
"To put it simply, it's a quest reward item."
I see. It seems that the system is not so easy to drill, at least by carrying items, the illusion of the empty master has been shattered. Fortunately, Xie Zuo didn't have much hope for this, so he couldn't say that he was particularly disappointed.
"Now open a two-star mission for me, I'm going to enter right away!" Xie Zuo decided not to waste any more time. The earlier you get the quest rewards, the more confident you will be when you deal with the bandit attack.
If you want to start the task, the system will naturally have no opinion. Soon, Xie Zuo's body was light, and he was already suspended in the middle of the starry sky. There was no need for a system reminder, Xie Zuo's mind moved, and the stars turned into fireflies in the sky again.
With a slight lift of his arm, the stream of fireflies stopped abruptly, and three shining crystals of different shapes but with words on the surface were suspended in front of him.
Wang Xizhi!
Tuoba Tao!
Cao Zhi!
Xie Zuo raised his eyebrows, why are these three guys? Although I was a little disappointed, I also knew in my heart that no matter how hard I struggled, it would not help. After a little thought, Xie Zuo finally stretched out his hand to a streamer star.
