Chapter 303: The Disappearing Tablet
Ji Ruling, as his good eldest brother, of course wants to enter the palace to congratulate him, but Yan Guo has just experienced such a big catastrophe, and he has just ascended the throne, so there is still a lot of things waiting for him to be busy, and it is estimated that he will not have time to play there haha, Ji Ruling can only slow down this plan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He has nothing to do and returned to the side by side palace from childhood to adulthood, although it has been vacant for a long time, but the old housekeeper will call someone to clean it every once in a while, so the house is still tidy, back to this familiar environment, Ji Ruling couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed, recalling that when he left here, he was still a boy with all the meridians of his body broken, and he would only use his cleverness and brute strength.
He had imagined more than once what would be the result if he hadn't broken his meridians back then and practiced hard like a martial artist from other families, maybe now he was still a cultivator who obediently stayed in the academy and cultivated hard, not to mention that he would meet Master Xuanxiao and Master Long Lingzi, but Ji Ruling knew that there were not so many ifs in this world, since the past roads had been walked, then there was nothing to think about, as long as the future days were down-to-earth, and there were no regrets.
At the beginning, those guys who stumbled themselves were almost dead, and the five major sects had gone to four of them, so it was not a problem, and Yan Kexi, the only one who was still alive, had no more time to live, so Ji Ruling did not kill him cleanly, but recalling the words that Yan Kexi said to himself before, he still remembered vividly, who were those two mysterious masked people, this question was entangled in his mind.
Walking around the courtyard, he came to the ancestral hall of their Ji family again, this room has always been locked, the key has always been on his body, and he opened the door suddenly, it was dark inside, those incense candles had already been burned, and there was some musty smell in the air, it should have not been opened for a long time.
Ji Ruling instinctively came to the place where he found the secret room, and turned on the hidden good switch again, wanting to enter the secret room again, to see if there are any clues, the two mysterious people's swords have the jade pendant pattern found in the secret room, maybe some clues can be found from the tablets placed in the secret room, Ji Ruling is going to copy some names from it, ask the peasant disciples, maybe there will be a harvest.
But when he pushed open the stone door, Ji Ruling was stunned, the last time he came in, one wall of the secret room was densely packed with hundreds of tablets, but this time he came back to find that there was nothing, the secret room was empty, and there was not even a single hair left.
This can make Ji Ruling stunned, could it be that the old housekeeper sent someone to put it away? It's impossible, he only mentioned the matter of the secret room, and didn't tell him the specific location and way to open it, plus the old housekeeper is loyal to the Ji family, if he doesn't get consent, he will definitely not take matters into his own hands and put these things away.
There is no trace of the switch outside the secret room being damaged, and the structure of the secret room is also very intact, and it is impossible for outsiders to forcibly enter.
Could it be the thief who opened the secret room in the first place? It's impossible, that guy is here for their Ji family's tiger talismans, those tiger talismans have already been sent to the frontier, and those tablets are a piece of waste wood to foreigners, how can anyone steal such a thing as a tablet, it is worthless and useless.
"Could it be a father?" Ji Ruling suddenly thought of what Zhao Lie said before he died, his father is his grandfather's most child, and the future head of the Ji family should know where this secret room is, could it be that his father came to make these tablets difficult to go, but soon Ji Ruling denied this conjecture, if his father did not die, he should find him as soon as possible, so it is possible to leave his only son alone, and he has been at ease outside for so many years.
It's really a wave of unevenness, who did it, which made Ji Ruling fall into a fog again, and it hurt his brain, he searched in the secret room in a carpet style, and found that the traces on the shelves where the tablets were placed were still very new, indicating that these tablets were just taken away not long ago, why did these things have been placed here for so many years, if they were not taken away sooner or later, they were all taken away after he learned the news of the two masked men. Could it be that someone wants to stop themselves from investigating the murder of their grandfather?
The more Ji Ruling thought about it, the more complicated it became, and soon his brows furrowed, but there was still no result, and then he didn't make trouble for himself, so he simply looked away and walked step by step, comparing the clues he has now are too few, and too miscellaneous, and he doesn't know which vine to climb if he wants to follow the vine.
For several days in a row, Ji Ruling turned the entire side by side palace upside down, hoping to find more clues, but he still found nothing and had to give up.
Boredom, he entered the palace, wanting to congratulate his second brother, but happened to meet the prime minister with a few important ministers of the court who were discussing something with Yan Han, Ji Ruling was not an outsider, so he pushed the door directly and entered, "Congratulations, second brother, oh, no, I should call Your Majesty" said, and also saluted him.
Yan Han hurriedly went up to help him up, his face was about to blush, "Boss, you are tormenting me, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'm already a lonely ghost now, how can I let you worship me?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's a little meaning, everyone is a good brother, and the power of the monarch and the minister is still inevitable, by the way, what are you talking about" Ji Ruling sat down on the side, everyone was used to his casual character, and the prime minister, who usually paid the most attention to etiquette, didn't say anything, just sat down kindly.
"Little Prince, although Your Majesty is the newcomer Yan Wang we elected, and has been supported by everyone, but according to the law system of Yan Kingdom, Your Majesty has not yet become the official Yan King, before the official succession ceremony, His Majesty Yan Wang needs to go to Shaoliang City to accept the canonization and acceptance of the seal of the Marquis of Yingwu, in order to become the Yan King in the sense" The prime minister looked old Long Zhong, and used his rich voice to briefly describe the topic they had just discussed.
"What? Ridiculous, what kind of person is this Yingwu Hou, why have I never heard of it, but Yan Han is also the lord of a country now, how can the dignified Yan King accept the canonization of a Hou" Ji Ruling suddenly couldn't understand, the so-called prince and general, the king was before the Hou, and the king succeeded to the throne and had to be canonized, so strange was that he had heard of it for the first time.
