Volume 2 Chapter 25 Sudden Waves
Of course, the reason why you can't eat meat is because of fasting, and fasting is naturally for the sake of asking about the heavens.
At present, the preparations for the Wentian ceremony are in full swing, and the date has finally been confirmed.
Seeing that the princess and the princess returned safely and everything was ready, everything seemed to be going smoothly, but unexpectedly, there was very bad news at this time, Su was sick!
Everything that needs to be arranged for the ceremony has to rely on Su Hu's support, and now he is sick all of a sudden, and he is suddenly so anxious that Ji Chang is like an ant on a hot pot, and he is spinning around in the living room.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but go to visit Su Hu, and by the way, he inquired about what was going on, and when he came back, Ji Chang's face was very ugly.
It turned out that some time ago, I was worried about my daughter's whereabouts, arranged for soldiers to search every day, and wanted to comfort my wife that she was quite tired, and it happened to continue to ask about the tedious preparations for the ceremony, so I was tired of being anxious these days.
But in fact, the reason why Ji Chang's face was ugly was not this, although Su Hu was hidden deeply, but Ji Chang, who was old and sophisticated, always felt that something was wrong, and after knocking on the side and probing a little, he knew that Su Hu was angry about his daughter's affairs.
Although Ji Chang was very happy in his heart, he secretly said that this idiot son actually did this, and it was not in vain that Lao Tzu worked hard, regardless of whether he was the overlord and forced the bow or something else, but when he thought about this matter of asking the heavens, he felt that it was very tricky.
At this moment, Zhan Xiu was brought into the house by the guards, and this was also the first time Zhan Xiu talked to the old man alone, and he was a little nervous in his heart, so he put away his usual style of giggling, his face was serious, and his expression was serious.
Ji Chang hadn't seen this son for a long time, although Zhan Xiu had just met with Daji when he came back, but he was just in time for the high priest to come and talk about it, so he didn't have much to talk to Zhan Xiu, and when he took a closer look today, he couldn't help but be stunned
I thought to myself, how can I, a former idiot son, look so different today than I used to be.
In the past, the second son was occasionally serious and occasionally hip-hop, but there was always a confused look in his eyes, but today, I saw that Zhan Xiu's eyes were not only not confused, but clear and crystalline, sometimes sharp and even faintly revealing a killing intent and domineering aura that only those battle-hardened warriors have.
Ji Chang was very surprised in his heart, and then asked Zhan Xiu to sit down and began to carefully interrogate some details in the past few months, Zhan Xiu replied without concealment, and after listening, Ji Chang twisted his beard and fell into contemplation.
I thought that if all this was true, then this son was not only not an idiot, but a brave and resourceful fellow, not only successfully subdued Daji, so that Lao Tzu's marriage plan could be completed, but also successfully obtained most of the materials needed to hold the Wentian ceremony......
Hey, wait! Ji Chang suddenly thought of something, and his face couldn't help but change drastically! glanced at Zhan Xiu, and then suddenly shouted, "Someone"!
Zhan Xiu was startled by a sudden shout, only to see that the old man's face was gloomy like water, and he waved his sleeves and said loudly to him: "Go, go and ask the Heavenly Temple"
I saw that the old man on the road urged the guards to hurry up, and Zhan Xiu followed closely behind the carriage, very confused, but looking at the old man's gloomy face, he didn't dare to ask more.
After a while, before he arrived at the gate of the Heavenly Palace, Ji Chang sent a guard to ask the high priest for instructions, and he didn't want to get off the carriage as soon as he saw the guard running out of the hall in a panic, and his heart sank, and he saw the guard say: "Master Hou, the big thing is not good, the servant inside said that the high priest suddenly disappeared this morning!" ”
"What?" , Ji Chang was stunned when he heard the news that was like a thunderbolt from the sky.
"What you said is true?" , Ji Chang settled down and asked the guards again.
The guard hurriedly replied, "Yes, for this reason, my subordinates have searched all over the temple, but they have not found the high priest."
Ji Chang was depressed for a while, "poof", opened his mouth and spurted out a handful of blood, and then sat down softly.
Zhan Xiu and everyone were suddenly shocked, Zhan Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man and let him sit in the carriage and let the guards rush back, while hurriedly letting people pass the word in front: "Go find the imperial doctor and wait in the front hall", as he spoke, urging the horse to rush back to Su Mansion.
Entering the mansion, everyone rushed Ji Chang to the bed, at this time, San Yisheng, Nangong Shi and the imperial doctor and other cadres had been waiting for a long time, and they were also shocked when they saw this scene.
Ji Chang opened his eyes at this time and whispered: "I'm fine, I'm just a little depressed, it's much better now, everyone retreat", said and motioned to Dr. San and Zhan Xiu to stay, and the others all withdrew.
San Yisheng walked up to Ji Chang and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, what is going on, why did you suddenly ......", Ji Chang stretched out his hand to stop San Yisheng's words, and said to him: "Doctor San, do you remember what the Heavenly Master once said about the things needed to hold the Asking Heaven ceremony?" ”
San Yisheng was a little puzzled as to why Ji Chang mentioned this, and hurriedly replied: "Of course I remember, didn't the high priest say that those things were ready a few days ago?" But what's the problem? ”
Ji Chang sighed and said: "Yes, but we all forgot the same, the Heavenly Master finally said that he still needed a boy who was well-informed in two lives, but it was ......", glanced at Zhan Xiu and said, "The second son is no longer a virgin, alas, this idiot!".
San Yisheng was also dumbfounded suddenly, and Zhan Xiu's face was slightly red at this time, a little embarrassed, and he said that under such a temptation, who could bear it......
After a pause, San Yisheng deceived Ai Aidi and said: "But the spirit search disk that the Heavenly Master took that day did not find any problems, and the matter should not affect the holding of the Heaven Asking Heaven ceremony, right?" ”
Ji Chang said again: "I think so too, so I went to ask the Heavenly Temple to ask the Heavenly Master, but the Heavenly Master suddenly disappeared", then San Yisheng was also surprised, and said hurriedly: "How is this good?" Seeing that the date for the Heavens Ceremony is approaching, if the High Priest is not there, how can it be held? ”
Ji Chang frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "At the moment, several things have to be dealt with urgently, Doctor San, you first ordered someone to search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Master, now that General Su is sick, we don't have many people, so we simply send all the guards below, and give me an inquiry about Su City, the Heavenly Master has been missing for less than a day, and he should still be in the city."
After speaking, he turned his head to Zhan Xiu and said: "You go and accompany Daji well, and find a way for her to persuade her father, now that the wood is in the boat, are you still afraid of suffering losses with my son!" If this thing is messed up again, hum! ……”
San Yisheng and Zhan Xiu hurriedly responded yes.
After leaving the house, Yisheng bowed to Zhan Xiu and left in a hurry, while Zhan Xiu pondered how to meet Daji's problem and wandered between the corridors for a long time.
Since he came back, Daji was locked in the attic by Mrs. Su, and never came out again, although it has not yet reached the kind of day when he is not seen, such as every three autumns, but he has not seen him for several days, and Zhan Xiu's heart is also a little empty, as if something has fallen.
As soon as he returned to his room, he saw Qu Sanfart running in, and said with a shy smile: "Master, what is the name of that thing you made from a tree branch that can be bulleted, can you open the eyes of the little one?" ”
"Slingshot?" , Zhan Xiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered this thing, and suddenly had a plan in his heart.
