Chapter Forty-Six: The Unwilling and the Willing
If Yun Ting didn't guess wrong, in fact, in the game of the previous life, there was a group of special players, and once these players were born in the world of the Three Kingdoms, they were different from other players, and they could be said to be superior! Just because of this group of players, they were born into the aboriginal families of the Three Kingdoms, princely families, families, and even princely families! And that, it's all randomly assigned by the system, it can be said to be a matter of luck, it can also be said to be a character, and another point is that you must take a good name, and it must be the surname and name of an authentic imperial person. In Yun Ting's previous life, this was also a secret that very few people knew.
It was just that Yun Ting knew that the very few people who knew this secret, but they didn't care about it, and they forgot about it later. This is similar to those who are born with a golden spoon in reality, they have an advantage, but they are not permanent, if they don't have the strength to keep the golden spoon, they will make wedding dresses for others in the end. What's more, he won't change the name Yunting, it's this name in reality, and it's also the name in the game. Carrying too many memories, and with those experiences of his previous life, he will not change. If you take the name of Zhuge , or Cao, or Yuan, or the surname Liu, maybe Yunting can go to the peak of his life, just like the protagonists of those novels in the AD era. It's just that he doesn't want to, and he won't change it, and if he does, it's not him.
Seeing Zhang Banxian's figure disappear from view, Yun Ting stood in place, he wouldn't make a move, let alone make a move. The so-called first strike is to know that when you know the enemy and me, Yun Ting doesn't know whether Zhang Banxian is an enemy or a friend, and if you make a rash move, you can indeed kill him. But what if you can't kill it? What happens after you kill it? Hurting others and not benefiting oneself is probably the case now. Moreover, now what the Yellow Turban Army wants is an uprising, and after the uprising, it will be difficult to say, if Yun Ting, Mr. Thirteen, can be a party commander, he can completely lead a state by himself and make a small court.
However, Yun Ting felt that Zhang Banxian's words were worth scrutinizing. Why did he come and why did he come?
After a while, Yun Ting came back to his senses violently.
"...... today," he muttered.
Suddenly thinking of something, Yun Ting quickly exhaled out of the game panel, and after seeing the game date on it, his face instantly turned blue. As if uncertain, Yun Ting glanced at the date again, and the gloom on his face could no longer be dissipated. His eyes were cold, and he ran towards the way he came, and now he must find Zhang Jiao, he must be! Otherwise, it will be too late.
Yun Ting's figure flickered a few times, and the human escape technique was suddenly activated, and on the wall, roof, and alley corner, his brief shadow appeared.
That's right, today. If Yun Ting remembers correctly, today is the day of forgetting her love, and it is also the time when she really becomes the eldest grandson and forgetful of love. She will despair, she will be sad, she will be helpless, and she may even die! And the last point, Yun Ting knew that it was likely to be brought by himself, because he had forgotten his love in his previous life and did not die, but now Yun Ting is not sure! He can calmly face the fact that there is a competitor in the Yellow Turban Army's forces, but he will never allow it, and the eldest grandson is still hurt and even dies because of his arrival.
Yun Ting can accept a lot, can accept failure, accept loneliness, and accept death. The most unacceptable thing is to watch others die, to watch the dearest and most loved person die because of himself, that kind of pathos, Yun Ting knows that he can't stand it anymore.
At that time, those blood-colored flowers, those days of bathing in snow and drinking wind. Ten years of victories and ten years of sharing weal and woe, those days have carved a mark in Yunting's life. Maybe some people don't understand, but in the world of the Three Kingdoms, many people understand, and many players won't say that it's just a game. To be trusted, to be entrusted, to give one's back to another person, who gives you the only one life and does not let you die, but you have more than one life. It's an unbearable responsibility, and it's nice and touching to be trusted.
Gao Shun saved him three times, he returned him five times, Zhao Yun saved him twelve times, the eldest grandson saved him thirteen times, and those soldiers who died for Yun Ting, inch by inch of mountains and rivers and inch of blood, Yun Ting didn't know how many times he had to pay them back.
"Stop! Who are you? "The sentry post hidden outside the courtyard of Taiping Dao has spotted the traces of Yunting, and the longbow in his hand has been raised, and he has mounted a feather arrow.
"Wait." The guards outside the gate shouted. He asked tentatively, "Is it Mr. Thirteen?" ”
"Yes. It's me. Yun Ting stopped, the sweat on his forehead running down his eyelashes from the rapid movement, but he didn't have time to wipe it.
"I have something to do, I want to see a great sage and good teacher."
"The great sage and good teacher are resting, please ...... Mr. Thirteen" Before the guard at the door finished speaking, he saw that the clouds disappeared again, and after each pause, he appeared in another place. It flickered one after another, until it came to the gate, and the last time it appeared in front of the guards, it disappeared directly into the gate.
The guard who was guarding, the man who was about the Yellow Turban Lux, stretched out his hand quickly, and even a faint light appeared in his palm. He is confident that under this grasp, there are not many people who can not be caught by themselves, this is the self-confidence of the first batch of Taoists who belong to the great sages and good teachers, and it is the pride of his yellow armor! There are some people who can dodge, but Mr. Thirteen can't! Although it is Mr. Thirteen, Huang Jia knows that Mr. Thirteen is an alien, and how much strength the alien has, Huang Jia knows very well.
However, under this grasp, Huang Jia's gaze went from full of confidence to astonishment and disbelief in an instant. For a moment, he was sure that his fingers had touched the hem of Mr. Thirteen's sleeve, and he could clearly feel the touch of the cloth, and he could feel that he could fully grasp it in the next second. However, he only grabbed a cloud of air, and his five fingers touched his palm. A gust of wind caressed his face, stinging slightly, and then vanished suddenly.
Huang Jia turned around, and was about to push open the door to chase Yun Ting, no one could disturb the rest of the great sage and good teacher, he was so convinced. The next moment, his action of pushing the door froze and stalemate, until he finally took it back. With incomparable respect on his face, Huang Jia retreated back to where he had been standing, his eyes were level with the front, and he turned into a statue, guarding this courtyard that was ordinary on the outside but unusual on the inside.
"You're here?" As soon as Yun Ting's feet stepped on the land in the courtyard, he heard Zhang Jiao's flat voice without any emotion.
Zhang Jiao slowly opened his eyes and stared at the clouds. He sat upright on a high platform, and a cloud rose next to his body, enveloping his figure in a looming shadow. A light shot down from the sky, froze beside him, and finally turned into tiny particles like water vapor, and disappeared into his body with a faint light.
Yun Ting saw a white hand reach out, and the index finger pointed at him. There was no dodge, a small ball of light just entered Yun Ting's body, and there was no strange feeling, Yun Ting only felt that his spirit was shocked, and he who was still a little dizzy and tired after using the human escape technique frequently just now, immediately recovered.
"The player is blessed by the Concentration Method, and his mental power is restored, and his mental recovery speed is increased by 20% within 24 hours, and his mind remains clear."
"Thank you, Mr. Xuan Ling." Yun Ting thanked him.
"What's the matter with you coming to see me in such a hurry?" Zhang Jiao asked aloud. With a wave of his sleeves, the fog beside him disappeared in an instant, and the clouds below could be seen very clearly, and those fogs entered Zhang Jiao's body.
Zhang Jiao nodded and said slowly: "It's just right, I also have something to look for you." ”
"I'd like to ask Mr. Xuan Ling to do me a favor! Send me to Nanyang with the Heavenly Escape Technique! Yun Ting clenched his fists and pleaded. He didn't know if Zhang Jiao would agree, but there was only one way to do it now, and only the Heavenly Escape Technique could allow him to reach Nanyang in the fastest time.
This matter cannot be delayed, if you use the player station, it will take three days to reach Nanyang! In three days, it is already incredible to be able to reach Nanyang from Julu in the eyes of the aborigines of the Three Kingdoms, but in the eyes of Yunting, it is still too slow! He had to be there immediately, immediately, otherwise what would happen a moment later, Yun Ting couldn't guess, and he wouldn't pin the matter on God's mercy.
"Wait, maybe it's not too late for you to decide after listening to me." Zhang Jiao waved his hand.
He looked at Yun Ting with those wise eyes, and said slowly: "I have one thing to hand over to you now, which is related to whether our Taiping Dao will be destroyed or not, and whether the plan will go bankrupt. ”
"You know, you know it from the beginning. We need time, we need time to prepare, and we can't rush things. Although it is better to be taken by surprise, it can only be taken by surprise if we are prepared and the enemy is not prepared. Now, we need time, and we can't let Emperor Han know about this! We can let them know the rumors, but we can't let them know for sure, otherwise we have no other way to go than to revolt immediately. ”
"But it doesn't work." Zhang Jiao's eyes continued to stare at the clouds, although his eyes looked like a pool of calm lake, but the clouds clearly saw that there was a storm going through in it.
"I need you to go to Luoyang, go with a lot of money, and help me bribe the Ten Standing Attendants so that they can help us cover up. Although the greed of those greedy fellows will never subside, one day what they took from us will be returned, including their lives. Now, tell me, can I trust you? Zhang Jiao looked at Yun Ting expectantly, he had already made it very clear that it was because of his incomparable trust in Yun Ting that he would give this task to Yun Ting.
Yun Ting was silent, and after a second, he shook his head slowly but firmly, "You can trust me." But I have a reason why I have to go to Nanyang. Mr. Xuan Ling, I hope you can help me, and only you can help me. ”
Yun Ting could clearly see a trace of disappointment flashing in Zhang Jiao's eyes, it was only for a moment, but he still saw it. Moreover, he also heard the sound of the system, but he did not regret it.
"The favorability between the player and Zhang Jiao has dropped to confidant."
Favorability generally declines slowly, or there is a decrease in value, and a decline in favorability rating like this is very rare. If you use a specific way to explain it, it is the same as cutting off the robe and cutting the seat, no matter how good the friendship with Hua Xin was, whether they wore the same pants, or how good they were, but at that moment, they had already broken off their righteousness.
Yun Ting touched Zhang Jiao's reverse scales, and naturally it would be the same, not directly down to coldness, or Yun Ting's efforts at the beginning were playing a role. If you change to another player with a favorability evaluation, I'm afraid that I will already be killed by Zhang Jiao, because this is already a betrayal! But many people will not refuse the task, let alone let their friendship with Zhang Jiao make their efforts go to waste, but it is Yunting.
Before he came, he didn't know that Zhang Jiao was going to deliver such an important task to him, such a task is extremely important, it can be said that it affects the rise and fall of a force, and the benefits that can be obtained after completing it are even greater. One side is the disadvantage of refusal, and the other side is the benefit of acceptance, Yun Ting knows that De is very clear, but he still refuses.
Compared with these advantages and disadvantages, Yun Ting knows very well that if he loses those partners, he will never have a chance again. A lot of things can be restarted, the game can be archived, the lost money can be earned again, the power is gone, you can continue to climb, there are only people, people are gone, they are gone. In the world of the Three Kingdoms, the aborigines in the game, each of them is an independent individual, just like the real human being, if it is gone, it is gone, and the system will not reproduce an identical person.
This is the reason why many players have shed so much blood and tears in the game. It's just because the people here are the same flesh and blood as them, and they or brothers, or husbands and wives, or sisters, have such inseparable love.
Yun Ting looked at Zhang Jiao, his eyes were very clear, black and white. He looked at Zhang Jiao, who was high up, and suddenly sighed, maybe at this moment, they were no longer the two people who went into the mountains together and talked about the world together. Now, he is Zhang Jiao, the leader of Taiping Dao, and the future general of Tiangong. And he, Yun Ting, has always been that Yun Ting, there are not so many people standing behind him, not the people who stand with Zhang Jiao.
There must be those who give up, those who are willing to give, and those who are not willing to give up. No matter how reluctant you are, you must always give up what you are willing to give up, and give up the most reluctant to give up.
Yun Ting only felt that it was worth it, it was all worth it, as long as he didn't lose the most important people and things, then it was worth losing the others and becoming nothing.
"Mr. Xuanling, please help me and send me to Nanyang!" Yun Ting repeated again. He spoke very slowly, word by word, as if Zhang Jiao was afraid that Zhang Jiao would not hear clearly.
"Okay, I'll send you there. But I can only send you there, and if you want to come back, you have to come back yourself. Zhang Jiao said softly. He shook his head suddenly, and then laughed again, until at last, the whole person became extremely indifferent.
Zhang Jiao stretched out his hand, palm up, and suddenly, the clouds in the sky began to rotate, drawing visible ravines in circles. From the palm of his hand to the sky facing his palm, there was a ray of light running through, becoming a link between the two that were not related.
Gradually, the clouds turned faster, and the circles that swirled became distinct. There is white and black, and it just turns, repels, and merges, like a fish beating and swimming.
With a grasp of his five fingers, his palms closed suddenly, and Zhang Jiao closed his eyes again. Everything returned to its original calm, the cloud swirls in the sky, and the clouds in the courtyard disappeared, leaving only the thin body and the slightly bleak back of the horns, where are there any traces of the clouds? It's as if no one has ever been in this courtyard since the beginning.
Zhang Jiao sat on the high platform, his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he sighed softly and spoke into the empty air in front of him.
"Huang Jia, go and call Lingyun over."
