A black carriage galloped down the official road, splashing dust and scattering the dead bodies on the side of the road, looking like a sign of the dynasty's decay. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Gao Yuan sat in the carriage and looked coldly at the unburied corpses on both sides of the road.

He doesn't know how many times he has seen such a scene along the way, and he has slowly changed from sympathy and pathos at the beginning to numbness now.

People always have a messianic plot, but when reality cruelly tells you that it's not a messian, you start expecting someone else to become a savior to save this dark world.

Gao Yuan is a serious liberal arts student who studies history, and the rich emotions in his heart make him have an indescribable impulse to end such a troubled world at the moment.

There is hunger on the road, and people compete for cannibalism.

But he also knew that he was just a passer-by, and that if he wanted to end such a dark age, he could only pin his hopes on the goal of their trip.

Takahara turned his head away from looking out the window at the misery. He asked Duanmu Ci, who was meditating, "Boss, are we in Liyang?"

He was used to listening to Zhang Aijia shouting every day, and he began to be led by him to call the boss.

Duanmu Ci still looked as warm as water, and replied: "Liyang is the place name of the previous dynasty, and this dynasty is called Shiting, you have to remember, don't say it wrong when dealing with the locals, it will be over, so it will definitely be suspected."

"Oh.... Shiting, I remembered. He secretly scolded Wang Mang in his heart, who likes to change the name of the place, and then said: "Liyang used to be Wancheng!" I wish I could hurry, but I can't stand the smell of corpses along the way. ”

Gao Yuan saw that Duanmu Ci was still closing his eyes and recuperating, and he didn't want to talk to him at all, while Xiao Lan on the other side didn't know what he was thinking all the way from Chang'an to now, and he didn't say a word, still maintaining that cold look.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him in the carriage, he was too lazy to find himself bored, so he pulled the curtain and went to chat with Zhang Aijia, who was driving the carriage outside.

"Hey, little monkey, what are you thinking? Look at how uneasy you look. ”

Zhang Aijia pulled the horse, slowed down the speed of the march, and replied: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about how Brother Ximen is doing now."

"Him?" Gao Yuan pursed his lips and said, "I don't know, but it should be fine, right?"

"Well, I hope so, too."

He suddenly turned his head, stared at Gao Yuan with an oppressive look, and asked, "Gao Yuan, are what you said in the Guogong Mansion true?"

Gao Yuan saw Zhang Aijia asking himself in such a suspicious tone, and he was suddenly a little angry.

"We are a team, and we must choose the best path to go. That's right, we can go to that fake Liu Xiu as the boss proposed at the beginning, and then use his power to achieve our goals. ”

"But is that really going to work? Liu Xiu, the national teacher in history, committed suicide in the end, but failed to rebel, is it possible that we still want to change history? That's the opposite of what we were meant to be. ”

Gao Yuan paused for a while and continued: "And you also heard the boss say that if we change history, we will have to suffer the backlash of time and space. At this rate of change, even if we can complete the mission, there is little hope that we will return to the future safely. ”

Zhang Aijia was silent for a long time, lowering her head and not knowing what to say. He also knew that what Gao Yuan said was right, and even Duanmu Ci and Xiao Lan agreed. But I don't know why, Ximen Junhui, who usually doesn't express his opinions much, insists on sticking to his original idea.

"I don't know what he thinks, I have to go find that fake Liu Xiu! It has been made very clear that he still has to insist on going his own way. Gao Yuan shook his head, indicating that he did not understand Simon's choice.

"Maybe he really hates me, he just doesn't want to act with me."

"Not really." Zhang Aijia looked at the horse in front of him, and said leisurely: "Brother Ximen is not that kind of person, and he doesn't hate you, it's just that he is not used to getting along with people who are not very familiar with him."

"I see, he's just a dead brain, and he still wants to stay! The direction is completely wrong, okay, we should follow the trend of history to complete the task, and in addition to being wanted, we will accompany that fake Liu Xiu to die together, and we can't see a trace of life at all. ”

Zhang Aijia listened to Gao Yuan's righteous indignation, but he didn't speak. After being silent for a long time, he slowly spoke: "With the disguise I helped him make, it shouldn't be discovered by others, and when he left, the boss also told him how to approach that Liu Xiu." So he's going to be okay now, right? It should be. ”

He repeated "it should be" many times, as if to soothe the anxiety in his heart. Because he also knows very well that Gao Yuan's statement is basically right, and it is really difficult to see the hope of success in the direction chosen by Ximen Junhui.

I just hope that Brother Simon can escape safely! He secretly prayed in his heart for Simon Junhui.

Gao Yuan said a lot, and when he stopped, he realized that what he had just said was indeed a bit excessive. Although it was a decision for everyone to leave Chang'an City and go to Wancheng to find the real Liu Xiu, it was not wrong for him to insist on his original idea, so he could only say that he didn't understand.

Zhang Aijia took a deep breath and said slowly: "Actually, I know why Brother Ximen wants to stay."

"Why?"

"Because he wants more points. After we complete the task, we will have an evaluation, and we will evaluate how much effort we have put into the task, which is just a reward for meritorious deeds. Those who excel at the end of each mission will receive additional bonus points. Brother Simon may want to complete this mission alone in order to earn more points. ”

"Why does he want so many points?" Takahara asked curiously.

"To save people." At this time, Duanmu Ci, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly explained.

"Simon came before you, and he and I were both newcomers."

"Every time he completes a task and gets a reward, except for the part he has improved, the rest will be saved in exchange for a special medicine produced in the future."

Gao Yuan asked strangely, "What medicine?"

"A specific drug for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is what we usually call ALS. The famous physicist Stephen Hawking suffered from this disease, but for Simon, the situation he faced was much more dire. ”

"He seems to have a younger sister, who is not very old, but he has this ALS, and the disease is very serious, and he has always relied on machines to continue to live. But this way of sustaining life can't last long after all, so he has always dreamed of exchanging points for a special medicine that can completely cure his sister's disease. ”

"So I guess that's why he's willing to take the risk of staying."

After Duanmu Ci finished speaking, there was a sudden silence on the scene. Gao Yuan didn't speak anymore, and he couldn't tell how uncomfortable he was at the moment.

The big black man who had never been used to seeing himself had such a story hidden behind him, which made him feel guilty for his previous hostility towards Simon.

"That'..... What if he fails? History is not so easy to change. ”

Duanmu Ci shook his head and said, "I thought that this path could be taken at first, but if he insisted on it, it might not really end well in the end." But don't look at him as reckless, in fact, he has a good heart, and if he really sees that something can't be done, he shouldn't be dead on this. ”

"With his ability, as long as he doesn't confront him head-on, it's more than enough to escape."

"I hope he doesn't go all the way to the dark. That's all there is to it. ”

The carriage continued to gallop on the official road, and there was still silence on the carriage. There were five people when they came, but there were only four left when they left.

Maybe there will be fewer and fewer people, and maybe the next one will be your turn.

Gao Yuan continued to sit in the car, and along the gap revealed by the door curtain, a ray of sunset afterglow fell on his face, reflecting a trace of perseverance and anticipation.

"Wancheng! Here we go! ”
