—187 A.D.——

Mountains and rivers are mapped, on the banks of the Luoshui River.

"This, this is this, the world after death?" Zhang Jie held her apricot yellow flag and walked tremblingly in the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map".

"Well, at least, it's a staging point." Zhao Yun, who opened the way in front, replied.

Although the city in a state of "ruins" has been restored to its "original state" due to a certain behavior of the "fairy", whether it is the sky, the river, the buildings, the roads and the "pedestrians", they all present a depressing, representing the "end" atmosphere.

Due to the perennial correspondence between "in the picture" and the "present world", Zhao Yun is no longer too afraid of those souls who reproduce the death scene without saying a word, but Zhang Jie is obviously not good.

The decisiveness and strength she showed when she sent people to support the "White Wave Taiping Road" and took the opportunity to follow her, but after entering the "gap", it was gone.

She held the apricot yellow flag, propped up an amber shield like an eggshell around her body, and followed behind Zhao Yun step by step, and it was precisely because of this thing that she could see and enter the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" without falling asleep.

As for Zhang Jiao, because he didn't want his daughter to care, he had been caring about her since then, and he had already run back to Julu in advance after Zhang Jie said that he wanted to enter the Shanhe Society.

Zhao Yun was originally a little strange, but after hearing that it was actually a gift from "Lin Hao Fairy", she stopped pursuing it - all her actions always have their own purposes, and if they can't understand it for the time being, it's probably because the time hasn't come.

At this time, the large army of "Baibo Taiping Road" was still some distance away from Luoyang, and when Zhao Yun proposed to Zhang Jie to go to Luoyang to investigate through the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" first, she insisted on following - and then she was scared like this.

"Why, why did you come to Luoshui first?" Zhang Jie stared at all the seemingly muddy ghosts on the way, probably thinking 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 host, and she may be able to provide us with some convenience." Zhao Yun looked up and down Luoshui, but he didn't see the boat.

"Master? The '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 in advance, and deliberately arranged it here," Zhao Yun pondered, "Even if she refuses to help, Master Tong, who has been staying in Luoyang, will ......"

Crash! There was a huge splash on the surface of the Luoshui River, and then a servant-like "man" poked his head out of the water, waved his arms and shouted for help: "Help, help!" - Gollum! ”

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 trace of immortal smile on his panicked face, and then, only to hear a "boom", an arrow shot from the void, hitting the vest of the man who was struggling to paddle, and then, he sank unwillingly.

Obviously, because Zhang Jie only paid attention to the dead souls on the shore and accidentally got too close to the river, triggering the "pre-death situation" of a certain guy who died in the river, she had already ducked back behind Zhao Yun before the person started to perform.

"Judging from the size of the man's splash and the shot of the arrow, he must have been thrown from a tall ship, and he was shot and killed when he was about to reach the shore, which proves that he did not die as a result of the robbership of the boat, but as a result of his death." Zhao Yun analyzed: "In addition, the clothes on his body don't look like ordinary servants, but more like 'messengers disguised as servants'." ”

"If you want, you can do it, at least the cause of death will never be mistaken." Because the person who died in the water disappeared under the surface of the water again, Zhang Jie's courage was a little bigger.

"If you're seeing someone showing a pre-death vision, an analysis of the 'cause of death' and the 'difficulty of resurrection' should be a good way to avoid fear." Zhao Yun responded.

"Fu, resurrection?" Zhang Jie seemed to be even more frightened, for fear that the walking dead around her would suddenly come to life.

"It's not what you think, but the resurrection means 'a reasonable reappearance in this world.'" Zhao Yun said: "For example, the person just now, he just sank into the river by an arrow, and it is easy to find reasons such as 'fake death and drifting, saved by others'." ”

"[Guess right, Xiaoyun~]" With a voice that is difficult to judge the pitch, a wooden boat suddenly appeared on the surface of the Luoshui River, and the person standing on it was the short-haired red armor, holding a giant scythe "Luoshen", and with her appearance, three small and one large, like a four-leaf clover slowly rotating four light spots appeared in the dim sky.

"Why Xiaoyun ......" Zhao Yun repeated helplessly.

"[Otherwise, it will be called 'Little Dragon'" Roselle said as she swung her scythe and slashed through the water, and then, the servant who had just been sunk by the arrow was hooked up from the water by the collar with the tip of the scythe.

"You are—" Zhao Yunqi said.

"[What about me, go and 'resurrect this guy' now, just let you understand the situation in Luoyang, and be able to repay someone's favor, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone~]" "Luoshen" tilted his head slightly, and the boat turned sideways, facing Zhao Yun and Zhang Jie sideways: "[Get on the boat~]"

General's Palace, side hall.

"The villain said, ahem! The words are true, cough cough cough! ”

The messenger disguised as a servant had returned to the "present world" by this time, but he looked miserable, with multiple scratches on his body, splints on his hands and feet, and blood oozing from the bandages on his front and back.

He was lying on a stretcher and reporting to General He Jin what happened before: "After that Zhang asked for the villain's information, he - ahem! Throwing the villain into the river, he shot an arrow at the villain, but fortunately the villain had a big life, and was rescued by a fisherman after sinking and floating, and as soon as he recovered from his injuries today, he immediately returned to report to the general - cough cough cough! ”

He Jin was fat and brutal, and even in the general's robes, he looked rather nondescript, and it was hard to imagine that he would be the brother of the glamorous empress, regardless of his heart.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered the servant to take the messenger away for cultivation, and instead asked a few of his staff: "Those eunuchs either support Liu Xie or support Wei'er, there should be no reason to hide the news of the arrival of the 'Princess of Ten Thousand Years', is it possible that this matter is misleading by other factions?" ”

"It's unlikely," one of the aides replied, "unless the 'misleading' is both a man who can perfectly disguise himself as Zhang Rang, and a marksman who can shoot through people with precision without killing them, it is more appropriate to think about what Zhang Rang means than to mislead others." ”

"Well, that's right." He Jin nodded heavily.

"As for why Zhang Rang deliberately concealed the news of Liu Nai's arrival from the general, his subordinates have a guess," another aide said, "He wants to unite with that Cao Mengde." ”

"Oh?" He Jin turned to look at him.

"At this time, eunuchs, imperial relatives, ministers do not give in to each other, and they are affected by the whole body, and they cannot gain the upper hand, it is natural for them to seek help from outside forces, in addition to Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou and other places may also come to participate, after all, they are all surnamed Liu."

How can this be...... Even so, how do they relate to the outside world? He Jin asked with a frown.

The staff only said two words, and He Jin suddenly realized: "Sword Saint".

The staff member continued: "As expected, there should be many foreign forces trying to enter Luoyang next, of course, they will have their own plans, or contact the courtiers, or rescue the emperor, and they will never act as Zhang Rang and others planned." ”

"Then you say, what should I do?" He Jin nodded again and again when he heard this.

"According to the opinion of his subordinates, when the force of 'foreign officials' is bound to enter Luoyang, the general should eliminate the force with the smallest number and the weakest strength in advance, in order to take the advantage, that is——" The staff member bowed his hand in the direction of the palace: "Share the worries of Your Majesty and eliminate the ten permanent servants." ”

"But, after all, they were cultivated by the Sword Master......" He Jin was still hesitating.

"If he is surrounded and killed in a grand manner, the Sword Saint will naturally be able to stop it, but if Zhang Rang is dead, can he still do something to the emperor?" The staff said: "If you want the Sword Saint to have no time to stop it, you just need to ask the 'Diao Chan' under the Queen Mother to cause more trouble all over Luoyang, and those women are also 'personally cultivated' by the Sword Saint." ”

"Haha! Kong Zhang's plan is wonderful! He Jin laughed out loud, "It's up to you!" I'll go find Yao tomorrow...... The Empress discussed the plan. ”

————

"How did this man named Kong Zhang deduce the correct argument when the arguments and arguments are all wrong?" Zhao Yun, who was listening in the map of the Mountains and Rivers Society, was surprised.

"The Great General wants to eliminate the Ten Standing Attendants? Wouldn't that be nice? Dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair. Zhang Jie thought for a moment and asked.

"In the past dynasties, the goal of the so-called 'King Qin' and 'Qing Jun' 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 that are heading to Luoyang will be unknown in an instant - after all, I have never heard of 'King Qin' to deal with the queen." Zhao Yun frowned slightly.

"This result was caused by the 'resurrection' of that messenger," Zhang Jie seemed to think of something, and turned to look at "Luoshen": "I wonder what you think of the situation in Luoyang?" ”

"[I don't care about them calling around, but the workload will obviously get bigger, I'll send you to the old man Tong Yuan, if you have any questions, just ask him, I should be very busy, very busy......" "Luo Shen" said in response, turned the bow of the ship, and sailed away from the General's Mansion.

Naturally, there was no Luoshui passing through the General's Mansion, and at this time, the ship was sailing on a river in the air that appeared out of thin air, with no head and no tail.
