Chapter 22: Accidents
There was a trance in front of everyone's eyes, and then a huge picture appeared in front of them.
In 363 B.C., the new capital of Wei was fifteen miles west of Daliang.
A carriage full of goods suddenly appeared on the side of the road, the horse's hooves were dusty, but it rushed towards the drainage ditch on the side of the road, and it seemed that it could not stop the momentum of rolling.
"MD, what the hell, I must scrap this jade ruler when I go back after this mission!"
"It's over!"
The short fat man in a sackcloth and a fur hat who was driving the carriage in front of him had just finished scolding, and the carriage clattered to the side of the road.
"Poof......", a burst of dust rose up, and in addition to anger, there was a little more grievance in the voice of the fat man who ate the ashes: "I admit that I will integrate into the corresponding environment every time I appear, how can I be discouraged without exception, I want to take the burden." ”
A middle-aged man with a clear face lifted the curtain and slowly climbed out of the overturned carriage, coughed a few times, and then went to the front to untie the wounded black horse, and stroked the horse's mane with his hand to comfort the frightened horse.
"Fatty, go to the front and see if there are any other people, and ask them to help us carry the carriage to the road, and we must try to get to the girder before dark, or we will have to sleep in the wilderness at night." ”
"Okay Lao Huang, just the two of us, don't pretend to be with me, if you want me to say go back directly, how good it would be to teleport directly to the city next time, if you have to suffer this crime, it has no practical meaning. I was hurt and suffered losses again and again, and I was very dissatisfied. ”
"Don't complain, it's not that there's a problem with the Xuanyu ruler, it's that we didn't have too much strength when we woke up, go ahead, remember that you are now a person from the Warring States Period, and your words and deeds are normal. ”
"Hmph, it's normal, none of the people who do our job are normal except for my fat man. Although he muttered, the fat man patted the dust and limped forward, whimpering from time to time, "Yes...... Person...... "Sounds miserable............
After turning a corner in front, under a few poplar trees not far away, a large group of people in a hurry were resting, large and small carriages and ox carts, literati and merchants and peddlers and pawns were full of shade, and the sound of gossip came from time to time, so lively.
"Hey, hey, folks in front, help me, the fat man is unlucky, the car has overturned into a ditch on the side of the road, and the powerful brothers will help me, lift me up, thank you here first." ”
"Yo, brother, your dates are so sweet. The fat man walked into the crowd while shouting, took a date from a big man's hand and ate it, making everyone feel that the car was overturned and limping was not a matter at all.
"This man speaks strangely. ”
"yes, there's no courtesy at all. ”
"It's so barbaric, it can't be a guy from the Qin Kingdom. ”
The big guy was so stuffy that he was worried that he had nothing to do, so he chatted in a few words.
"I said, brother, what's the matter with you, limp and not at home on a hot day, what kind of fun are you having with those of us who have moved to the new capital. ”
As soon as he saw that someone was taking care of him, the fat man seemed to have returned home, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all. "I told the big guys, the brother has a hard life, and a sour scholar partnered with a business loss, not to mention, this last point of the old book rushed to Daliang, thinking of taking advantage of the construction of Daliang City to build Xinliu Lane to make a lot of money, but I haven't seen the shadow of Daliang, the damn dark horse went crazy, and I even took the car to the ditch behind, unlucky, unlucky. ”
"Yo, it won't be the rutted place we just passed, I'll just say that something will happen if you're stunned, what's the matter, isn't this someone sent it, hahaha......" The tall man who was taken away by the fat man was not angry, but laughed at the fat man.
"This gentleman is slow. A middle-aged scholar dressed as a scholar who had been watching quietly under the tree next to him said as he walked over, and when the big guy saw his behavior, he knew that he was a learned person, so they made way for him to come over.
"This gentleman just said that he wanted to take advantage of the Liang Cheng to build Xinliu Lane to seek some gold and silver, but it has only been two years since I moved the capital to the Great Wei, and there are still many imperfections in the imperial city, and there are only five alleys in total, so how can I build Mr. Xinliuxiang's so-called Xinliu Lane?"
"It's been less than two years since the Great Wei moved the capital, what are you talking about, isn't it now two hundred and sixty-three years BC?"
"I don't know what Mr. means by two hundred and sixty-three years, but now is indeed the second year of my Great Wei moving to a new capital, which is a well-known thing. A few years ago, the nobles and the army of my Great Wei princes, as well as the civil and military officials in the capital were relocated, and now it is the middle of the second year, otherwise where will we have the qualifications for the relocation of the small people in the market, such a major event is known to everyone, and Mr. will not know it, right?"
"Yes, yes, you're going to Daliang City, you won't even know this, right?"
"Hahaha, no wonder you can overturn the carriage, confused!"
After listening to the scholar's words, the people around him laughed at the fat man and laughed heartily.
"MD, something has happened to my fat master now, if I wait until Wei Yu is born, the fat man will have to wait for death! No, I have to find Lao Huang to sum it up." ”
The fat man's face was very solemn, and after he finished speaking, he pulled his wide sleeves and left without looking back, ignoring the shouts of everyone.
"This man is so strange. There is no politeness in the mouth full of nonsense, I'm sure he's a guy from the Qin State. ”
"God is chattering, this time my legs are not lame, it's really abnormal. ”
"I guess I'm stupid by my own stupidity, haha. ”
"yes, yes, hahaha........."
Everyone burst into laughter, and only the scholar looked at the fat man's fast back, remembering the inexplicable words he had said, and fell into deep thought.
"Lao Huang Lao Huang, MD is done this time, something is wrong!"
"What's the matter, panicked, as a three-star sword bearer, the anxiety you show doesn't match your level. ”
"This time is not like the previous storms and waves, this is a completely low-level mistake, and it will even completely affect our operation this time. ”
The face of the person called Lao Huang gradually became solemn after hearing this, because although the fat man's words and deeds are unreliable, he is one of the few three-star sword bearers who has become by himself, and his ability and temperament are beyond doubt. Lao Huang got up from the ground and looked straight at the fat man.
"I went to inquire, and now is not the 263 BC we are going to at all, what is certain is that it is the second year of Wei's capital move, that is, 363 BC, which is nearly a hundred years earlier than Wei Mi's birth, not to mention the time node of our mission. The fat man who hurriedly ran over was still panting after saying it in one breath, his face was slightly red, and his chest was rising and falling violently, I don't know if it was because of the vigorous exercise or because of the anxiety after knowing the truth.
After listening to the fat man word for word, Lao Huang looked around carefully without hesitation, and after confirming that there was no one, he squatted down and took out the Xuanyu ruler from his sleeve and gently poured the qi into it.
"Three hundred and sixty-three years B.C.E. ”
A line of seal characters quietly appeared on the Xuanyu ruler.
After confirming this situation, Lao Huang shook his hand to collect the Xuanyu ruler, and he stood up and stared at the fat man seriously again.
"Fatty, did you move something before you set off?" Lao Huang stared at the fat man directly, his eyes were no longer kind and ordinary, but instead cold and reprimanded.
"Where do I have the ability to move the Xuanyu ruler, I am always injured and in trouble when I appear again and again, I don't think there is any need to rely on it at all, I have long felt that there is a problem!" the fat man argued in a low voice, but his unusually low tone did not escape Lao Huang's keen perception.
"Who said that you moved the Xuanyu ruler, I just asked casually, you don't have three hundred taels of silver here? Your tone is also completely opposite to your usual toughness, there are good reasons to believe that you have something to do with the failure of this time and space jump!" Lao Huang's tone became very cold, he was as strict as ever in carrying out the task, and he showed no mercy to anyone.
"Okay, I won't hide it from you, it's going to be the annual promotion assessment soon, as long as this mission is completed quickly enough, I can conduct a four-star evaluation, I have been in the three-star card for four years, I am fully prepared for this evaluation, I don't want to lose this opportunity......" The fat man's tone was already very timid, he understood what he said, as far as he was concerned, he also felt very irrational, and he regretted it now.
"So?"
"When I took over the Xuanyu Ruler, I quietly mobilized a trace of Qi and increased the energy of the Xuanyu Ruler, hoping to speed up our process. The fat man's tone grew lower.
"As the energy increases, the space-time fluctuations excited by the qi when I wake up will be greater, so it will be a hundred years in advance. Okay, I know, let's not discuss this now, you can review it with the elder group yourself when you go back, and come up with a solution first. Although he found it very difficult to accept, he always insisted on the idea of absolute priority of the task, so he immediately made a judgment, which is why he became an outstanding sword bearer in this class.
"This situation has occurred very rarely in the sword wielder's files, and without exception, in order to reduce the impact, the sword wielders in the previous events have chosen to immediately make another time and space jump. The fat man let go of some of his thoughts, regained his due calm, and began to recall the files he had read before, trying to make up for it.
"Then let's start the space-time jump right away, can we do it now?"
"The mission has just begun, and the impact of the current intervention on the mission is still minimal, and with the fact that the time is more than a hundred years in advance, it is completely possible to jump. The fat man said calmly.
"Do you have any traces that need to be cleared from your attendance just now, this must be clearly determined, otherwise we can't predict the consequences if it continues. Lao Huang once again stared at the fat man, confirming the last question of this terrible situation.
"No problem, don't worry, I didn't reveal information beyond this plane, nor did I leave any point-in-depth and suggestive language, so there is no need to perform a purge. ”
"You immediately check the surrounding environment, eliminate distractions, and I start to leap into time and space. After Lao Huang finished speaking, he didn't care whether the fat man reacted or not, and directly squatted and took out the Xuanyu ruler. This is not only forced by the current situation, but also a tacit understanding after many missions together.
The fat man first stood on the road and looked around, and immediately ran to Lao Huang after confirming that there was no one.
A faint glow flickered.
The two of them, the dark horse lying on the ground, and the overturned carriage seemed to blend into the surrounding environment at once, and completely disappeared.
Next to the original rut, there were more messy footprints, and on the road, a new rut mark slowly appeared and stretched forward, until it mixed with other rut marks in the dust. All this is no different from the scene of the carriage being lifted and then going on the road.
