A quaint plan stands in front of the hall, and there are several tables on both sides, on which are placed a variety of seasonal fruits, wines and wines. The guests of the www.biquge.info Pavilion sat on the ground, the graceful maids stood aside, and a group of dancers were dancing with Yale in the center of the lobby.

Nanyang Taishou Wang Yi knelt in front of the central table, he was wearing a brocade official robe, his gray beard hung down on the desk, but there was a trace of worry hidden between his smiling eyebrows.

This group of distinguished guests, who claim to be from the National Teacher's Mansion, have been here for almost half a month, but they have no intention of leaving.

Wine and delicacies are served all day long, and if you continue to receive it like this, Nanyang will be a little unbearable even if she is rich, not to mention that the disasters have been continuous in the past few years, and she is really a little difficult to handle. But there is a person named Duanmu Ci in this group of people, who has a handwritten letter from the old man and His Royal Highness the Prince, and this trip is completely in accordance with orders, and his little Taishou can only swallow it with his teeth.

Although he was worried in his heart, he still had to pretend that he didn't care on the surface.

The singing and dancing performance in front of the hall was almost over, Wang Yi clapped his hands, and the dancers below all retreated. He raised the wine cup in his hand and said to the distinguished guests who were sitting down at the bottom of his hand, "Everyone, listen to me. ”

The following suddenly quieted down, and Wang Yi continued: "Now that the new dynasty has been established for a long time, there is no objection from the government and the opposition, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, known as the appearance of the country and the people. Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, with the blessing of the heavens, the love of the people, and His Royal Highness the Prince, the national teacher and so many handsome and virtuous assistants. Drink this cup! ”

As he spoke, he picked up the wine cup and drank it all.

The man on the left hand side of Taishou also stood up, he was wearing a fine silk robe, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, rhino skull and jade cheeks, he was really handsome and strange, and his bearing was extraordinary. There is also a jade pendant hanging from the waist, which makes people involuntarily think of an adjective: "a gentleman is like jade".

He also raised the wine cup in his hand, put his hands together, and the wide sleeved robe hung down on his chest and said: "The person who gave this rudeness, when he heard the words of the envoy, he was deeply moved. For this prosperous age, drink this cup! ”

As he spoke, he also raised the wine cup and drank it all.

"Good! Brother Duanmu has this insight, and he will become a great weapon in the future! When you find the fairy fruit and return, you will be appreciated by the national master and His Royal Highness the Prince, if at that time, don't forget to be my brother! Wang Yi said with a smile.

Just as Duanmu Ci was about to reply, a guard suddenly came: "Tell the envoy, two people came outside, saying that they had found the fairy fruit and were waiting outside!" ”

"Oh? Announce him to come in. ”

After a while, two people came in from outside the door, one of them was wearing a plain green Hanfu and a clog on his feet, looking like a down-and-out Confucian student. The other person was much simpler, thin and swarthy, with a tired face, and as soon as he came in, his eyes were staring at the food on the table, and at a glance he knew that he was a refugee who had been hungry for an unknown number of days.

The two came in and first met Wang Yi, who was sitting at the top, and then bent down and retreated to the side to wait for the adults present to ask questions.

Gao Yuan stood on top of the imposing and transcendent lobby, but his heart was full of calm. I don't know why, the anxiety and worry when I first came here are all gone, and all I think about is who is the traverser in the five-person room.

On the other hand, Zhou Xiucai beside him, his legs trembled with fright, and he was almost incontinent directly in this lobby.

At this moment, Takahara noticed that a man on the left was staring at him with interest, and he smiled slightly at him, giving him an indescribable sense of affinity.

"The two of you, have you found the fairy fruit?" Wang Yi asked.

Zhou Xiucai stood in the hall and was silent, trembling and unable to say a word.

Gao Yuan saw that Zhou Xiucai, who had told him not to show his cowardice just now, was so unbearable, and couldn't help but scold in his heart: "Damn, it's Qin Wuyang again." ”

There was no way, the guide who was finally found fell off the chain at a critical moment, and he could only go into battle by himself.

"Returning to the adult, it is the fairy fruit found by the villain." Gao Yuan said.

"Oh? That fairy fruit can be on you?" Wang Yi asked.

"This immortal fruit is a treasure that will only appear after a thousand years, how can the grass people have it?" Gao Yuan said, but his eyes were staring straight at Duanmu Ci.

When he said the phrase "only after a thousand years", Duanmu Ci, who was drinking, suddenly turned his head and glanced at Gao Yuan with burning eyes.

"Heh, it's you..."Gao Yuan thought to himself.

When Wang Yi heard Gao Yuan's words, he thought that Gao Yuan was here to deliberately find fault, and he was immediately furious, and he couldn't help but shout: "Bold fanatic! Dare to tease this official! Come! Drag it out and hold the rod for thirty first! ”

"Wait!" At this time, Duanmu Ci stood up, and he said to Wang Yi: "Don't be angry, this grass people don't know how to count etiquette, and they collided with Lord Taishou, so let him take him down and punish him well." What do you think, my lord? ”

When Wang Yi heard this, his face was full of unhappiness, but the other party was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the people of the National Master, and he would have to rely on him more in the future, and it was not good to turn his face for a trivial matter now. I had to snort coldly and said:

"That's it, since Brother Duanmu has opened Chrysostom, let's do it like this."

"Thank you." Duanmu Ci turned his head and shouted towards the plateau: "What are you still standing there stupidly for?" Come with me. You collided with the envoy today, if you can't get the whereabouts of the fairy fruit from the truth, you must look good! ”

As he spoke, he stood up directly from his position, walked quickly to the plateau, pulled him up and walked outside. The other three people in the hall saw it and followed him to the outside.

"This...."Wang Yi, who was sitting at the top, was dumbfounded, this Duanmu Ci has always looked like a handsome son, how can he be so rude today? Leave without even saying a word?

He could only stare at Zhou Xiucai, who was ignored, and his face suddenly darkened.

Poor Zhou Xiucai even had to bow when he saw a small official, when had he ever been stared at like this by the Taishou of a county, he was already nervous and scared to the extreme, and he was directly frightened and fainted with incontinence.

――――――――――――――――――

On the other side, Gao Yuan was also taken aback by Duanmuci's sudden attack.

When he was being pulled, he suddenly found that he had lost control of his body, and could only be led by the nose like a puppet.

After a while, Duanmu Ci dragged Gao Yuan and the other three into the wing room on the east side of the Taishou Mansion.

Duanmu Ci threw Gao Yuan on the couch, turned his head to the other three and ordered: "Ai Jia go and close the door, Junhui, you go outside to watch the wind, once someone comes over, notify me immediately, Xiaolan follows me." All Level 1 alert! Go！ ”

Gao Yuan listened to Duanmu Cibiao's extremely familiar Mandarin, and even a sentence of English came out. Even though he had already guessed the fact that Duanmu Ci was a traverser, he was still taken aback.

Duanmuci, who had finished arranging, turned his head, looked at the plateau with a smile, and didn't speak, but looked at the plateau in his heart.

Finally, he spoke: "But I found you kid, we are afraid that you will fall into some deep mountain and old forest and be eaten by tigers!"

"Big brother, are you also a traverser?" Takahara asked cautiously. Although he was almost confirmed, he still hoped to get a definite answer.

"What do you say? Didn't you come back in time, can you know tomatoes? You kid is also clever, and when you see the notice, you know that you came to us, and it is not in vain that I have spent a lot of effort to find you. ”

"Ahh You've really crossed over like me? And what about the three of them? When Gao Yuan heard the other party admit his identity, he was as excited as if he had been struck by lightning, and he felt that all the hairs on his body stood up.

"They? They're just like you and me. Duanmu Ci continued to smile in response.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Duanmuci, you can also call me Duanmu, and I am the captain of this team. This is the deputy captain Xiao Lan, the one who went out to let off the wind is Ximen Junhui, and the black and thin one who is guarding the door is Zhang Aijia. ”

Gao Yuan looked in the direction of his finger, and a dark and thin young man was smiling at him and said, "You're welcome, just call me a little monkey."

Gao Yuan turned his head again and looked at Duanmu Ci's side, only then did he realize that the person standing next to him was actually a woman, she was dressed as a man, wearing a plain brocade robe, and a scarf on her head, with a delicate face, giving people a feeling of elegance and innocence. Xiao Lan saw that Gao Yuan was staring at him, and suddenly he was still colored, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Gao Yuan coldly.

Gao Yuan quickly turned his head in embarrassment and asked Duanmu, "Then what do you mean by the team?"

"Before I answer your question, I feel compelled to ask you a question."

Duanmu Ci put away his smile and asked very seriously, "Do you think your crossing was an accident?"

"This ....." Gao Yuan was stunned, he fell into deep thought, and suddenly something seemed to come to mind, and he said with a shocked face: "Could it be that someone asked me to cross over?" But why did he harm me?"

"It's not that someone is harming you, it's just that you're the chosen one just like us." Duanmu Ci said.

He continued, "We are like fish living in the river of time, following the flow of time from upstream to downstream. But what if some fish appear upstream due to some external factors? ”

"What do you mean... Crossing?"

"Yes, that's right. Those who slip through the net are traversers. And we're the ones who specialize in catching these fish. In layman's terms, we are a group of fishermen, wandering between the past and the future, looking for the missing traversers. ”

"Good science fiction ....." Gao Yuan was dumbfounded. If someone had told him this before, he would have been whipped up with a big ear scraper. But now that I have indeed crossed over, the most unlikely thing has indeed happened, so what else is impossible?

At least he's psychologically willing to accept all this. Having companions was indeed a consolation to his lonely mind.

Duanmu Ci saw that Gao Yuan didn't show any resistance, so he continued to explain: "Actually, you should have come with us, but the organization doesn't know why it has been insisting that the newcomers who are on the mission for the first time cross alone, and then let us old team members go to find it. That's why I spread the word that I'm looking for tomatoes, because I know you're going to come to me when you see this notice. Well, that's a good idea, right? ”

After saying that, he also glanced at Gao Yuan triumphantly, as if he was proud of his clever plan.

"You just talked about the organization, what kind of organization?" Gao Yuan is like a curious baby at the moment, asking non-stop.

Duanmu Ci spread his hands and said: "Actually, I don't know what our organization is, I only know that such an almost fantasy ability is definitely not something that any modern country or group can create." After all, it's a bit unbelievable to have people travel to the past and future to capture the traverser. I think this may be established by some force in the future in order to maintain the stability of time and space. ”

"Okay, if you come, you will be safe. Now that we've found you, we can start our mission. As a reserve member of our squad, the success or failure of this mission will determine whether or not you are qualified to become a 'Fisherman'. ”

"What about them? Have they been tested too? Gao Yuan pointed at Xiao Lan and them.

"Of course, they've all been through it once, and if they succeed, they can join our team."

"And what if it fails?"

"Failure?" Duanmu Ci was silent for a while, he raised his head, glanced at Gao Yuan with his always pitying eyes, and said, "Failure, there is only one way to die."

Gao Yuan didn't look like Duanmu Ci was joking, and suddenly became silent. He lowered his head, wringed his fingers, and said quietly, "Do I have any other choice?"

"Actually, you don't have to be discouraged, some tasks are still very simple, don't you see Xiao Lan, Ai Jia, Junhui, and the three of them are all successful?" Duanmu Ci said comfortingly.

Gao Yuan didn't speak, and a forced smile appeared on his haggard face. He knew that no matter how reluctant he was, there was no way out.
