Ahead is a lush forest, and among the tall and straight mulberry trees hides a road that is neither too wide nor too narrow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

An autumn rain had just fallen last night, moistening the dry and cracked land and making the road a little muddy.

A spacious carriage drove on such a road, and the horses stumbled from time to time, so startled that the people in the carriage poked their heads out and asked.

"Brother Simon, you have to be careful, don't overturn the car like last time." Zhang Aijia, who was black and thin, poked her head out of the curtain, and she was like a little black-skinned monkey.

"Damn, Lao Tzu didn't specialize in being a groom for you, it's good to be able to do this! What's the noise?"

"Okay, slow down, then." Zhang Aijia was washed away, but she was not angry, she retracted into the car and stuck her tongue mischievously towards the plateau.

Ximen Junhui is a short-tempered person, with a tiger's kiss, a sideways face, and a full of gangsterism, and he can rush the ceiling to the sky when he speaks. Takahara always felt that he must have been in the underworld before joining the organization. It's just that the name is too feminine, giving people a sense of contrast and cuteness.

Zhang Aijia is a native of Hubei, and in his words, he is "a nine-headed bird in the sky and a Hubei Yankee underground." "He has a more cheerful personality and is a kind person. So in the past few days of joining the organization, Gao Yuan has been chatting with Captain Duanmu for a while, and he is the one who chats the most.

The deputy team Xiao Lan is a living iceberg, and a radius of five meters will make you feel like living in the Ice Age, and the captain sometimes dares to laugh at her.

The big black brother Ximen Junhui is too vicious, and he speaks in a buzzing voice, which makes people reluctant to approach. And judging from the observation of Gao Yuan in the past few days, he seems to be a little disgusted and rejects himself.

So among these four people, Gao Yuan can only talk to Zhang Aijia. Fortunately, the two are of the same age, and they chat quite smoothly, and there is no generation gap.

After a few days, he became acquainted, and Gao Yuan called him by his nickname: "Eh, little monkey, you can tell me about the last mission, you haven't finished talking about it last time!"

"Last time, where was it last time? Oh yes, we had a war in the Song Dynasty, and our group was chased and killed everywhere by those who were soldiers! Then when I ran away, I broke my foot again, and I almost couldn't run out, thanks to Brother Junhui's back to run ten miles on my back to escape. ”

"He's so good, huh? It's a little hard to see...."Gao Yuan asked in a low voice, for fear that Ximen Junhui, who was driving, would hear it.

Zhang Aijia smiled, glanced at the car with grateful eyes and said: "Brother Junhui is actually very good, but his temper is a little worse, maybe he is not familiar with you, it will be good when you are acquainted."

"Come on." Gao Yuan skimmed and continued to ask, "Eh, have you seen any celebrities in the Song Dynasty?" For example, Song Taizu, Zhao Kuangyin and the like. ”

"Celebrities?" Zhang Aijia tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "It doesn't seem to be eh..."

"Oh, yes, there's one!"

He turned his head to Duanmu Ci and asked, "Boss, what is the name of the monk we met last time after escaping from the battlefield?" Didn't you say that he would become emperor in the future? ”

"Zhu Yuanzhang."

Duanmu Ci was closing his eyes to recuperate, he heard Zhang Aijia's question, and the old god replied on the ground.

"Zhu Yuanzhang? Isn't Zhu Yuanzhang Ming Taizu? He was from the Ming Dynasty, didn't you just say the Song Dynasty? ”

"Yikes! That's the Ming Dynasty! I always thought it was the Song Dynasty! Zhang Aijia patted her head and suddenly realized.

"This can also be misremembered....."

Gao Yuan felt like his head was covered with black lines at the moment.

The air inside the car seemed to freeze with embarrassment.

"Hehe.... A momentary mistake, a mistake in memory. However, I was very good in primary school history, and I scored more than 90 points in the exam! ”

Zhang Aijia explained with an embarrassed face.

"History classes are not taught in elementary school." Xiao Lan, who had been silent, brutally mended the knife on the side.

"Sister Lan!" Zhang Aijia was exposed to the lie, and her face was red to the root of her ears in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Captain, let's stay in the Taishou Mansion with good food and drink, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

He has been a refugee for more than half a month, and every day he can't eat in the wilderness, and he is almost hungry. Suddenly, one day he started a life of fine clothes and food, and he was a little happy to stay.

"We are fake, and we haven't left if we find you, in case we are found out, it will be troublesome." Duanmu Ci explained.

"But I see that you do have the seal of the prince."

"I found an old carpenter in the countryside of Nanyang to carve it."

"Isn't it? Fake certificates? Is this okay?" Gao Yuan exclaimed.

Duanmu Ci smiled slightly and did not answer.

There was a mysterious silence in the carriage again.

I don't know when it started, but it started to rain again. Ximen Junhui, who was driving the carriage outside, put on a hat and a robe, and continued to hold the reins tightly with both hands.

The road ahead became wider and wider, and the mulberry trees on both sides gradually began to thin out until they slowly disappeared.

Suddenly, a dilapidated building appeared on the road ahead. Ximen looked at the meeting from a distance, turned back to the car and shouted: "Eh, look, there seems to be a broken temple in front of you!"

When Zhang Aijia heard this, she quickly poked her head out and looked.

"It seems that yes, there is a temple."

"Alright, let's stay here for the night tonight." As the captain of Duanmuci, the team members are not pampered people, and the plateau often uses the sky as the quilt and the earth as the bed, so he doesn't care.

"Haha, Lao Tzu can finally lie down and rest, damn it, I'm tired to death."

He drove to a stop in front of the temple, and was the first to get out of the car, bolt the two horses and enter the temple.

The temple looked as if it had been dilapidated for a long time, with mottled Buddha statues covered in cobwebs and two futons scattered on the ground covered in dust.

The group looked for water, I cleaned it, and it took almost an hour to clean up the temple simply.

Before you know it, it's already dark. Gao Yuan lit a bonfire with the flint he brought, and the group of five sat quietly around the bonfire, and no one spoke.

Gao Yuan looked at the dancing flames in front of him and was stunned, and his mind didn't know where to fly.

"Plateau."

"Huh?"

"I think it's necessary for you to know something, so that there won't be any surprises in the next mission."

Duanmuci's slightly magnetic voice sounded exceptionally clear in the empty ruined temple.

"Well, you say, I'll listen."

"You know, every time-traveler is a destroyer of space-time stability. Their presence may have an impact on an otherwise unstable plane, and our mission is to find this time-traveler and then undo his impact. ”

"How to eliminate?" Gao Yuan asked.

"It's simple, it's enough to destroy him. Annihilation in both physical and spiritual senses! Duanmu Ci stretched out two fingers and dangled in front of Gao Yuan's eyes.

"The task is also difficult, generally speaking, the difficulty of the mission can be divided into several levels according to the amount of information given by the organization and how much social resources the traverser can mobilize."

He went on to explain: "For example, in our current mission, the mission level is the more difficult B-level."

"So what's so hard about our task?"

"Intelligence." Duanmu replied with a few strokes of the campfire with a branch.

"The only hint given by the organization for this mission is to allow us to use the ability of time and space to repair itself to complete the mission. Nothing else, such as basic information about the traverser, is absent. But fortunately, the mission is still only B-level, and maybe we have to deal with just an insignificant little person. ”

"Captain, what is the self-healing ability of time and space?"

"Well, how to put it, space-time's ability to repair itself is like our own immune system. The time-traveler is the virus to him, and we are the drugs that are eaten into the body. ”

"Of course, there are cells in the human body like white blood cells that can engulf bacteria to achieve self-regulation. Time and space also self-regulate, and in general, it will lock on to the time-traveler on its own and then create all kinds of problems for the time-traveler, or create all kinds of favorable conditions for his opponents. To put it in a more fantastical way: luck. ”

"It gives others luck so that they can destroy the traverser under the guise of someone else's hand. Judging from the hints we gave in this mission, the organization believes that we don't have the ability to complete the mission alone, so it should be for us to go to those who have the luck to do it, and then borrow their hands to destroy the traversers. ”

Gao Yuan was almost dumbfounded when he listened to Duanmu Ci talking there.

How is this so complicated? Doesn't that mean the task should be simple? Why can't you even determine the goal now?

Xiao Lan on the side also spoke: "According to the understanding of the past few days, we have traveled to the last years of the new dynasty this time."

Gao Yuan graduated from the Department of History, and although he didn't know much about the small details, he was still very clear about the big historical events, such as the change of dynasties.

So he continued: "I also inquired clearly, it is now the second year of the emperor, that is, in 22 AD, Wang Mang has only one year to live when he establishes the new dynasty, and next year Chang'an will be broken and the new dynasty will perish."

After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Aijia very proudly.

The other party just rolled his eyes back.

"Yes, Takahara is right. Now that we've figured it out in time, what about the traverser we're looking for? Do you have any thoughts on this?"

Duanmu Ci saw that everyone was pondering, as if he had no clue, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and continued: "Actually, I have an idea, I don't know if it's right or wrong."

Ximen Junhui and Zhang Aijia couldn't interject all the time, and could only listen to the other three people discussing word by word, and they were already impatient to the extreme.

Especially Ximen Junhui, he was originally an anxious child, and when he heard that Duanmu Ci was still selling Guanzi, he couldn't help urging: "Don't sell Guanzi, if you have anything, hurry up, grandma's, but I'm in a hurry."

Duanmu Ci smiled slightly, and said very confidently: "The traverser should be Wang Mang!"

"Wang Mang?"

"That's right! Wang Mang! The emperor of the new dynasty, Wang Mang, is also the traverser Wang Mang! ”
