Chapter 0002: Distant

After he fainted that day, Ashu, the coachman, and a group of people who were frightened by Xiao Rong's true appearance, worked together to send Xiao Rong to Pingyang City.

The soldiers guarding the city took one look at Xiao Rong's appearance and let them pass without even asking for any written documents.

In this era, only aristocratic families could raise a man with the looks of Xiao Rong. Even if there was a similar man among the common people, he would have been taken back by the wealthy family to be a concubine. It would be impossible for him to walk around freely without any restraints.

The situation was chaotic, rituals and music were in disarray, and many of the once strict rules were no longer applicable. When Xiao Rong first came through, he settled in Xin'an County, which was the territory of Nanyong. The north was not under the control of Nanyong, but no one cared about the people traveling between the north and the south.

The root cause is that it is impossible to control it. The situation of scattered Central Plains has continued for 180 years up to now. During these 180 years, 67 emperors have been replaced in the Central Plains. At the most exaggerated time, there were six emperors ruling their own regimes at the same time.

To be honest, this year is still a good year. There are few wars, Nanyong has not caused any trouble, Qu Yunmie is busy fighting foreign tribes, and no one is bothering the common people.

However, it will only last until this year. It won’t be long before the situation becomes chaotic again, and the smoke of war will soon cover the entire Central Plains. …………

In the early morning, a light white mist filled the streets. Xiao Rong opened the window of the inn, sat by the window, and looked at the quaint streets outside.

After waking up that night, the feeling of weakness in his body was much less, and the previous coughing whenever he moved also disappeared.

Looking at the quiet street scene, Xiao Rong should have been calm, but he couldn't calm down. It's been half a year.

Half a year after entering this era, he still couldn't help feeling sad.

Why is he so unlucky!!!…

He would never forget that day. In the last second, he was standing in the center of the school auditorium, posing handsomely, waiting for the moment when the lights went out, and began to rehearse his solo dance. In the next second, the lights went out, and he appeared in the vegetable market of Xin'an City with his legs raised and sword in hand in a difficult move.

The butcher who was selling pork looked at him in shock. The knife in his hand dropped and with a click, it pierced the pig's head that a certain lady had specifically ordered.

The pig head was slashed in the face, the old lady was furious, and Xiao Rong took advantage of the chaos to escape. …

Xiao Rong was extremely terrified and could not react for a moment. Fortunately, he was rehearsing a sword dance and was wearing ancient costume. However, this ancient costume was not that ancient costume. The outfit that might look similar in the eyes of modern people would be extremely strange in the eyes of people of this era.

After finally finding a deserted place to hide, Xiao Rong, holding the big sword that the dean had lent him as a prop with great reluctance and heartache, had just squatted behind the pile of firewood when the voice that made Xiao Rong hate it so much rang out.

The voice came from the system. The system claimed that according to its calculations, Xiao Rong was the person with the most compatible aura and the highest match value with the historical figure Qu Yunmie. Qu Yunmie should have become emperor and founded his own dynasty, but unfortunately he was unlucky and eventually died tragically in Chenliu City. Over the past thousands of years, too many people felt sorry for him, so the system captured this and decided to change his fate.

But human affairs must be resolved by humans themselves, and the system cannot intervene directly, so it searched for all people who knew Qu Yunmie's fate in the past three thousand years, and finally concluded that Xiao Rong had the greatest probability of success.

After hearing this, Xiao Rong almost vomited blood.

"His fate is tragic, what does it have to do with me? There have been many tragic people throughout history, why do you drag me into this?! You evil system, send me back immediately!"

Xiao Rong looked stern, but in fact only he knew how panicked he was.

The system was right. He was indeed familiar with this period of history, so familiar with it that he refused without even thinking about it, because it was simply an impossible task.

Qu Yunmie is destined to die, no one can save him!

Seeing how determined he was, the system hesitated for a moment and replied, "Okay, I'll send you back then. Do you have any last words to say?"

Xiao Rong: "...Last words?"

System: "Yes, the next second after you go back, the headlights on the stage will break your cervical vertebrae. With the medical level of your time, this fatal injury cannot be cured. For the sake of our acquaintance, you can leave a last word, such as what kind of shroud you want to wear, or what kind of coffin you want to live in. I will tell your family in your dreams."

Xiao Rong: “…………”

After saying that, the system was about to send Xiao Rong back. Xiao Rong stared at it blankly, then suddenly came to his senses and cried bitterly, "No, no, no! I've changed my mind. Let me stay! If you think about it carefully, Qu Yunmie really shouldn't die. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I was born under the red flag, so how can I refuse you? Leave it to me, I'll go save him!"

The system smiled slightly upon hearing this.

The system is only responsible for sending people here and will not give Xiao Rong a golden finger. However, Xiao Rong’s own knowledge reserves are his biggest golden finger.

After a series of operations, the system tied the fate of Xiao Rong and Qu Yunmie together, and then told him after the fact that since his life was a lucky chance, if he failed to complete the mission, he would have to die with Qu Yunmie. In order to stimulate his enthusiasm, his physical condition was tied to Qu Yunmie's luck value.

The closer Qu Yunmie was to the throne, the healthier his body became. The further Qu Yunmie was from the throne, the sicker his body became.

The severity is automatically adjusted according to the situation at the time. In mild cases, one may feel dizzy, while in severe cases, one may vomit blood.

But he didn't have to worry that these illnesses would kill him. As long as Qu Yunmie was still alive, as long as he still had the chance to ascend to the throne, Xiao Rong would be like someone who had eaten Tang Monk's flesh, and he would not die no matter what.

But once Qu Yunmie died, or his luck completely disappeared without people seeing it, he was doomed to be unable to become emperor. Then, Xiao Rong would die the moment his luck disappeared.

However, the same is true in reverse. Maybe Qu Yunmie did not become the emperor, but the situation at that time was already destined. He would definitely become the emperor. His luck value was full, and no one could threaten him anymore. Then, Xiao Rong did not have to wait until Qu Yunmie really ascended the throne to untie himself from him. He could do whatever he wanted in the future and would no longer be bound by shackles.

After explaining all this, the system disappeared. I don’t know which poor soul it will harm next.

Xiao Rong was left with a blank face, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. …
