The Collection of The End

——AD 184——

Luoyang, map of mountains and rivers.

"Master?"

Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Jiao standing on the roof of a restaurant and shouted uncertainly.

Previously, he was attacked by a ferocious woman who was suspected to be the daughter of Situ Cai Yong's family. After being unable to fight back and having to flee back to the "Shanhe Sheji Tu", Zhao Yun decided to walk around the Cai Mansion, Cao Mansion and Yuan Mansion in the next action. .

Although she has a bad temper, if she saw Shi Changshi's minions trying to catch someone nearby, she would probably help...probably.

Going south, Zhao Yun successively rescued several prisoners who were regarded as remnants of Taiping Road, and avoided many "heroic spirits" who wanted to reenact the death scenes for him. Zhao Yun came to the vicinity of Luoyang West City.

Since further south is the area where civilians live, Shi Changshi's "Sanqi" and "Diao Chan" do not operate in such places where there is no profit. They probably also know that even if those common people are willing to hide the "assassins", The "assassins" will not cause trouble for them.

Therefore, similar places only implement curfews during this city-wide martial law and are not allowed to go out at will.

Then, when Zhao Yun climbed to the top of a restaurant to look far into the distance, he saw Master Zhang Jiao, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Oh, it's Zilong. Are you coming to Luoyang to help those brothers escape? That's great." Zhang Jiao, who has become quite "fairy" in appearance, is wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe and holding a long dark green staff. He turned his head when he heard this. Zhao Yun glanced at him, then responded with a faint smile.

also?

Zhao Yun responded with a little doubt: "Although this disciple has made this plan, he is not acquainted with the brothers in Taiping Dao. Maybe they are among the people saved, or maybe not."

If we say they are not acquainted at all, that is not necessarily true. When he and Zhang Liao defeated the first group of Xiongnu in Xiliang, they met a group of "Taiping Army generals" from the Liangzhou branch at that time. In hindsight, the battle was only slightly postponed. It was only the time for Shi Changshi to label Taiping Dao as "colluding with foreign races".

As for Zhang Jie, the junior sister Zhang Jiao had deliberately emphasized that he should take care of, although both parties were active in various places, they had not met due to various coincidences.

"Oh, then you can 'get acquainted' with them now." Zhang Jiao raised his finger and pointed ahead.

Ahead? Under the restaurant? There are only a group of ignorant "heroic spirits" there, and other brothers and sisters must not have the ability to come "here". So...

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, raised his hand slightly to draw across the void in front of him, and then pulled it down. A small crack only the size of a fist, through which he could see the "outside world", appeared in front of him.

"Heh, you seem to be getting better at using this 'unparalleled' skill." Zhang Jiao said in a tone that showed that the junior had achieved something.

"Well... this is actually not called 'Wushuang', or in other words, it is not the complete form of 'Wushuang'," Zhao Yun explained while observing outside: "The disciple feels that it can advance to a more advanced form. "

Just like when he was attacked by the Miss Cai family before, he clearly did not make any action similar to "slicing apart", but still moved into the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map" through the "crack".

Looking out through the "crack", you can see the streets that are sparsely populated due to martial law, and the ordinary houses on both sides of the streets that are not so gorgeous in shape and decoration because they are close to civilian areas, but are still exquisite.

In one of the seemingly abandoned houses, there was an apricot color flashing that was quite similar to the clothes Zhang Jiao was wearing.

"Can you 'promote'? Very good," Zhang Jiao first praised, then looked in the direction where Zhao Yun was watching and said: "Those who are there at the moment are my teacher's daughter Zhang Jie, and my senior brother Ma Yuanyi. "

It seems that Zhang Jiao can detect the "outside world" to a certain extent without going through the "crack". However, since Master Tong Yuan was able to do it earlier, Zhao Yun was not surprised.

He just responded: "But do you need disciple's help?"

"The martial law in Luoyang this time was caused by the Shi Changshi's attack on my Taiping Dao, which provoked some hot-tempered disciples to assassinate me," Zhang Jiao said in a calm voice, as if he didn't care about the collapse of the Taoist sect he founded. "Tang Zhou Xing failed to assassinate, but unexpectedly returned to Julu. However, Gao Sheng, Yan Zheng, and Bo Cai were not discovered because the plan had not yet been carried out. They escaped in time. Only Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Li Damu were left in Luoyang City. Perhaps they had not been discovered yet. The plans implemented may have been a desperate move after Tang Zhou's failure, but they all failed."

He had a part of his "credit" for "sending" Tang Zhou away... Zhao Yun thought about it and decided not to say it.

"Jie'er was worried about them. After settling things in Liangzhou Branch, she came to Luoyang with Yuan Yi to rescue her. As a teacher..." Zhang Jiao paused: "As a teacher, I came to see if she has achieved anything in her studies. .”

After you left the Warrior's Hall, you shouldn't have been following your junior sister in this "Mountain and River Society Map"... Zhao Yun tried hard to restrain himself from asking this question.

Zhang Jiao probably thought that this was a bit of a cover-up, so he changed the subject and said, "The residence they are currently in belongs to Zhang Rang. It seems that because he was assassinated here in the early years, it has been vacant and no one is allowed to enter. Although they will not be searched by their minions, as time goes by, they will be discovered sooner or later."

"If the disciple can provide assistance, I will definitely not refuse," Zhao Yun said: "But if you want to show up and take action, it will be a bit troublesome, because the disciple is also being hunted at this time..."

"Heh... Luoyang's 'Little Silver Spear'," Zhang Jiao teased, and then asked: "How long can Zilong pull living beings into 'here' now?"

"Master should know that, except for the three of us, master and disciple, any creature will fall into a deep sleep after being pulled in," Zhao Yun said: "The disciple has conducted several experiments in his spare time and found that long-lived creatures will fall into a deep sleep until death after entering here. The time will be increased by one hour per year according to its original life span."

"Oh?" Zhang Jiao asked slightly confused.

"Master, don't worry. I have never used humans to conduct experiments. I came to this conclusion because of some wild beasts encountered along the way." Zhao Yun immediately explained: "Those jackals or hyenas will become like those 'heroic spirits' after sleeping for more than ten hours. Generally speaking, and it can no longer be "moved" out."

"If [she] wants to, it should be possible to 'move' out again." Zhang Jiao said.

"It's indeed possible." Zhao Yun agreed and added: "In addition, this 'death time limit' will be reset every time you enter it, so you don't have to worry about dying suddenly if it happens too many times."

"...How many beasts have you killed?" Zhang Jiao turned to look at Zhao Yun.

"Only a few dozen..." Zhao Yun looked at the sky: "It shouldn't be more than a hundred."

"That's all." Zhang Jiao shook his head: "My master originally wanted you to take these brothers and sisters out of Luoyang through this place. If anything goes wrong, treat them. Now it seems that in 'that's' domain, it is indeed The only thing wrong is 'death'."

"In that case, disciple, will you go and get to know your brothers?" Zhao Yundao said, "Do you want to tell us about Master's presence here?"

"No, if they learn that there is a master guarding Fu, they will inevitably act erratically or be arrogant. You can just say that they care about the friendship with the same disciple." Zhang Jiao shook his head slightly.

"Then..." "Boom!!"

Zhao Yun was about to respond when he saw a tile-roofed house in the distance collapse directly, with smoke and dust billowing.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

There were two more loud noises. From the place where the tiled house collapsed, from far to near, another wall was knocked down by huge force, and a big tree was broken in the middle.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and under the flying branches, the few pedestrians on the street fled one after another.

Zhao Yun frowned and picked up the "gentian" behind his back to expand the "crack" so that Zhang Jiao could see clearly what was going on there.

Then, the culprit who caused such destruction was seen emerging from the smoke and dust. At first, he was a young man wearing a bright yellow robe common to aristocratic families and holding a sword in his hand. Behind him was a young man wearing green armor and a red skirt, but he looked very handsome. A girl wearing a bright yellow cloak.

The two of them seemed to be running for their lives, but two groups of people from different forces were chasing them behind them.

One group of people are all women, wearing black clothes, black trousers, and black scarves. They are the "Diao Chan" who has often dealt with Zhao Yun recently. They are small in number, but they can fly over the walls without any hindrance, and their attacks are extremely powerful. The other group is They are "loose cavalry" affiliated with the Ten Constant Attendants. They cannot climb up walls, and their strength seems relatively low. However, they have horses to ride on, and there are many of them. When they pursue them, they are like a river bursting its embankment, which makes people feel helpless. There is a way to escape.

Looking at the route of those two people, if nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely involve those Taiping Dao brothers.

"Master?" Zhao Yun lowered his spear tip and looked at Zhang Jiao.

If there was no way to make the two men change their routes at this time, they would have to let the brothers hide temporarily or simply escape in advance.

Of course, cooperating with the person being chased to defeat all the pursuers is also an option.

"Don't make a decision in a hurry. Let me wait and see where they came from." Zhang Jiao waved his cane slightly, and the faint sounds of the pursuit in the distance became a lot louder and clearer.

"Don't hurt that woman!" "Capture the thief who dared to assassinate Zhang Changshi! He will be promoted to two levels! A reward of five hundred!" "Ouch! You dare to fight back!" "Leave that sword alone! Catch it! Owner!"

The "Diao Chan" and "Sanqi" chasing after them were very fast, but they were slowed down by the sword energy thrown from the front from time to time.

"Hahaha! I have already said that I can be a 'Wushuang', but the girl still doesn't believe it -" "Shut up, stupid monkey! If your 'Wushuang' hadn't taken the initiative to provoke those casual riders, we would have run away, okay?"

Behind the chased young man and girl, there is an uncontrolled long sword with a gorgeous red base and cyan patterns. It is blocking the closer pursuers on its own, and from time to time throws out a sword energy to destroy the opponent. The eaves or branches of the roof hinder their progress.

The ones running for their lives in front seemed to be Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu... Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes, but why was the "other Cao Cao" here?
