Chapter 101: Gambling

So now everyone is betting.

Gu San gambled on Zhao Yuaner's unshakable position as the protagonist in the entire plot, which is the biggest variable and the only indicator of existence, and she will never be easily eliminated; Zhao Yuan'er bet that King Zhen'an would inevitably want to know the secret of the firearm in her hand, and would never act rashly; And the king of Zhen'an bet that Zhao Yuan'er was soft-hearted, and it would never be possible to bury the lives of the people around him for the secret of the weapon in his hand.

Sometimes gambling is like this, everyone is complacent and thinks they will win, but in fact all the variables are brought by others, and it is impossible for them to be 100% in control.

When night fell, Gu San took Murong Yuhua to slowly slide down from the cliff and sneak back into the cold palace at night. King Zhen'an's men did not search thoroughly enough, and the workshop covered by Murong Yuhua was not found. Perhaps he wouldn't easily believe as a man that a group of women and children would one day set up a workbench in the middle of a cold palace to assemble such a deterrent weapon.

Of course, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that all this is just the hand of an eight-year-old girl.

After Murong Yuhua entered, he quickly glanced at the objects in the workshop, gunpowder, saltpeter, these are all there, and some simple explosives can be barely assembled, and no matter how complex the weapons are, it is not easy to assemble "The firepower that can be used here can only kill dozens of people at most with the ability of the two of us, if you really want to leave the pursuers and escape, this igniter is probably not enough." ”

There were thousands of people stationed outside the gate, and now that the palace was surrounded and impregnable, it was really difficult to rescue those thirty or so people.

Gu San handed her dry food, and kept thinking calmly with a calm face. When she was on the cliff today, she had already roughly observed the current arrangement in the palace, and she also saw Zhao Yuan'er and the others all taken to Linyu Palace. At least one thing can be confirmed - Zhao Yuan'er and these people will never sit still. It's just that everyone is waiting for an opportunity, a chance to be able to defeat a hundred, or to get out of here quietly.

But how can King Zhen'an take his attention off them?

Gu San chewed the dry food, and suddenly asked Murong Yuhua, "What kind of mood did Zhao Yuan'er have at the beginning to stay with King Zhen'an?" ”

“…… Love. Disappointment in the original love, longing for a new love. ”

"But now it is impossible for her love to fall on King Zhen'an, and this plot line is completely different from before." Gu San thought about it carefully, it is true, Zhao Yuan'er will throw herself into the arms of King Zhen'an in the original plot line, purely because of the disappointment of another man, and at the same time, King Zhen'an does have masculine charm and is bold enough, although her father was a rebel in the previous dynasty, he was a favored minister under the new emperor.

And Zhao Yuan'er was even the concubine of the previous dynasty, and then became the new emperor's favorite woman.

But now the story is no longer the original story, and Zhao Yuaner is not the woman who cried and cried and was full of grievances in the original setting, and put all the focus of her life on love. The person she loves has also shifted from the emperor who is strong on the outside to the always tenacious and decisive Concubine Lin Jinyue. The emotional power of two women is no less than that of a man and a woman.

Murong Yuhua also followed Gu San to think carefully about this question: "In the past, Zhao Yuan'er would be disappointed in her feelings, completely because the little emperor gave her to another man like a treasure. In this process, she has no independent choice, she is like a gift, an object being given to each other by men. ”

Then King Zhen'an showed a little respect and love for her, and regained her trust.

"And her emotions." Murong Yuhu spread his hands, "But now Zhao Yuan'er will never indulge in such a small favor just because of such a small favor." She has long recognized the thoughts and intentions of these men, and some of the warmth that may appear next is estimated to be directly filtered out in her eyes. ”

“…… If you are still deceived, it can only be that the original author of this world wrote the characters too stupidly, right? ”

"Or maybe it's too emotional? But we should be able to rest assured of this, I think Zhao Yuan'er already has a deep relationship with Concubine De, and it is unlikely that she will be the king of Zhen'an again. Murong Yuhua said, as if she had thought of something, and looked worried, "But emotionally, although she will no longer be gullible to others, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be treated roughly physically." You know that...... In times like these, women under war are often brutally assaulted. ”

"So now the two of us are here to try to prevent this from happening as much as possible. But ......," Gu San sighed, "This is a war. There aren't so many people we can save, so we can only do it as much as we can. But if there is no guarantee of this, at the very least, all we can do is save their lives. ”

This situation is not unprecedented. In the real world, men who have killed red-eyed people are sometimes more terrifying than zombies, they are like beasts, and when they meet a woman, they don't think about the other person at all, they just use her as a device to vent their anger and anxiety. In the era in which she lived, most of the fortresses were dominated by men, and women were nothing more than expensive reproductive resources, and most of them survived in a worrying situation. As the number of women decreases, some fortresses even compete with each other for young women of childbearing age. In that case, the woman is not much better off than an animal in captivity.

In a small number of female-dominated fortresses, there will even be more extreme women who choose to have uterine removal surgery, on the one hand, to prevent the smell of blood from attracting zombies when going out on a mission every menstrual holiday, and on the other hand, in the event of a fight with other fortresses, even if they are defeated, they can have the determination to continue to fight. There are many women who often have to survive in pain because of pregnancy.

Gu San himself had surgery in his twenties, and there were also "mothers" who had not undergone surgery, and among them, mothers were the greatest beings, who brought new life with their blood, and were willing to give everything they had to conceive children, even at the risk of being captive and taken captive. Their fortress has a long tradition of protecting mothers and rescuing children, which is very different from other fortresses.

This is also why, as long as other fortresses ask for help, indicating that they have children there, Gu San will definitely bring people and horses to support. Sometimes, if the women of other fortresses knew about their existence through radio and other channels and tried to ask for help, Gu San would also bring someone to help. Of course, in most cases, there are real women in need of help, and in a few cases, it may be a trap set by other fortresses trying to compete for resources.

The current situation is actually similar to the rescue operation Gu San did before, the women who were imprisoned, the enemy soldiers guarding outside, and the men who seemed to have a lot of power. But some places are similar and some are different, if it is in the modern world, they have more high-speed vehicles such as cars, and at the same time they have more aggressive weapons such as howitzers, and if they really want to fight, machinery fills the original gender gap. But in this era, the fastest is the horse, and in this case it is impossible for a group of people to run away together.

That's a lot of trouble.

There is also a difference in the professionalism of the military. Now the soldiers and horses stationed around the palace are soldiers and horses who have experienced the baptism of war, even if they find an opportunity to kill the king of Zhen'an, it is too difficult to fight their way out of the siege with their ability. Whether Zhao Yuan'er can survive is a question.

"If in our previous experience, as soon as the main character dies, the world may collapse and eventually be eroded by my memory, right?"

Murong Yuhua nodded when he heard this, "Generally speaking, the main characters are the logic of the current world, if they do not waver, do not produce a crisis, and do not disappear, this world can operate normally for the time being." The first world is because you persuaded 'me' to shake the existence of the whole world, and the second world is that you killed the male protagonist as the female protagonist, so the zombie virus reappeared. ”

"In other words, as soon as Zhao Yuan'er dies, all the soldiers surrounding outside may also become zombies."

Murong Yuhua spread his hands, "I can't say for sure, the presentation of the world's stability shift can be various, maybe someone directly turns into a zombie on the spot, or it may be the same as the first world, I don't know where it came from, and then everyone directly enters the battle state." ”

Anyway, if something happens to Zhao Yuan'er, the world will also have an accident.

After sorting out the logic, Gu San looked at the gun in his hand, "If I go and directly collapse King Zhen'an now, what is the survival rate of a few of us who escape?" ”

"Zero."

Murong Yuhua ate the dry food in his hand and began to mix the gunpowder in front of him. She would never lie to Gu San, and besides, it was useless to lie in this situation. The high mortality rate and low success rate are a fact, and they have no way to go head-to-head with them.

"That'...... What if Zhao Yuan'er killed King Zhen'an, and then we pretend that he is not dead and call the shots as him? Gu San thought of the means he had taken on a certain mission. Murong Yuhua stopped his hand slightly, "Also...... It's not that it can't be, but the question is, how can we, the women, disguise the voice and figure of King Zhen'an? As long as one person is exposed, everyone is exposed, it's too hard to want him to look alive, right? ”

The corners of Gu San's mouth rose subtly at this moment, "But if he looks like he's just half-dead, then it's not too difficult." ”

"You...... What do you want to do? ”

Murong Yuhua watched Gu San stand up, pushed open the door and left, turned around and told her, "Go and create some chaos, you stay here obediently, and wait for me to come back to pick you up." ”
