Volume 1 Chapter 17 Worry
"What? Are you saying that Daji and Himefa have both disappeared? Jizhou Hou Mansion, Su Hu heard the guard's report, frowned, widened his eyes and asked in surprise.
"Yes, yesterday afternoon I found that the guards and the princess were separated, until this morning there is still no news, someone saw the princess and Ji Fa Gongzi riding out of the city, the subordinates have sent people to look around outside the city for about three or four miles, and no clues have been found for the time being", the head of the guard said with some trepidation.
As a guard, he lost his master, and there was indeed enough shame, but it was not enough to be ashamed, maybe a guard would be beheaded if he was not effective.
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Su Hu's voice, and as soon as the guard looked up, he heard Su Hu ask, "Where can they go, there are only a few interesting places in Su City, have you sent someone to investigate?" ”
"Yes, my subordinates went to various scenic spots to look for them as soon as possible, but they didn't find them," the guard quickly answered.
Su Hu frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "You go down first, send more people to look around, and expand the search area, find the people who have seen them out of the city at that time, and ask them to see which direction they went out."
"Yes," the guard replied, saluting respectfully and hurried out.
Su Hu was having a headache, Mrs. Su came to the living room, and she didn't bother to sit down, she saw her wiping her tears and said to Su Hu worriedly, "How can these guards be bad, and if they follow, they will actually lose Daji!" This kid hasn't been out of town much since he was a child, and if he gets lost, how can he come back! ”
"Don't worry, madam, there is also Ji Fa Gongzi with me", Su Hu hurriedly stepped forward, held his wife's shoulder and comforted, "He will take care of Daji, now is not the time to blame his subordinates, I have arranged for my subordinates to look around, there should be news soon, you can wait for news in the house with peace of mind"
"I didn't come back last night, I was worried about dying, this kid hasn't been outside yet, besides, Ji Gongzi is an outsider, you can rest assured", Mrs. Su was obviously not given by Su Hu's comfort, but cried even more, Su Hu was a little at a loss, and he was comforted by the voice.
After comforting for a while, Su Hu helped Mrs. Su to the side room to rest, feeling very tired and anxious, just returned to the hall, picked up the tea and prepared to drink, when he heard a guard report from the door: "See the general."
Su Hu hurriedly asked, "How is it, but there is news of my daughter and Ji Fa Gongzi?" ”
"There's news, general, but ......," the guard suddenly looked like he was struggling.
"But what?" , Su Hu glared and asked urgently.
The guard hurriedly said: "The subordinates inquired about the news from the people who saw the princess leaving the city, and then searched for about three miles in the direction of the princess's advance, and saw the marks of two horses' hooves, so they ......"
Su Hu interrupted the guard's speech and said decisively, "Let's talk about the point, what's the situation", but he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Yes", the guard hurriedly responded, and then quickly said the words later, "The subordinates chased forward more than ten miles along the horse's hoof prints, and saw that the direction in which the hoof prints disappeared was the wild wolf slope", and the guard's expression was also a little solemn as he spoke.
"What?" , Su Hu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Then have you continued to chase down?"
"Wild wolf slope whether day or night, there are groups of wild wolves infested, there was only one subordinate at that time, so the subordinates quickly gathered a large search team, and then rushed to the wild wolf slope, but on the wild wolf slope still did not see the princess and Ji Fagongzi, just ......"
The guard looked at Su Hu Tieqing's face, then gritted his teeth and continued: "The subordinates saw that the princess and Ji Fagongzi's war horse was bitten to death by a pack of wolves, and the saddle was still scattered on the ground, and they also found half of the princess's clothes from under the tree. After saying this, he didn't dare to come out, and quietly bowed down and stood next to Su Hu.
When Su Hu heard this, his eyes turned dark, and he almost fell down at that time. After settling down, he immediately commanded the guards with a stern expression: "Quickly send someone to report this matter to Xibohou, but remember to me that no one in Madame's place is allowed to leak this news, otherwise I will not be spared!" ”
"Yes," the guard replied awe-inspiringly.

Ask in the Temple of Heaven
Xibohou Ji Changzheng, who asked the Great Priest Wu You about the scriptures, was discussing a certain topic with Wu You with great interest, while secretly slandering himself.
"The river map is out, the book is now, the sun and the moon are shining, the celestial phenomena are changing, the sage looks at it, and the sky is resting. Therefore, if you want to seek changes in personnel, the upper is to inherit the will of heaven, to be compassionate, and to observe all things, conform to the people's feelings, and major things can be lifted", Wu You opened his dim eyes and said slowly and carefully.
After listening to Ji Chang's gray beard, he thought thoughtfully, and said after a while, "The destiny of heaven is unusual, and it is a hundred auspicious things that are good to descend, and a hundred disasters that are not good to descend, which means that the sky is not so credible, and when it is good, it is as good as water, and it is surrounded by all things, and it nurtures all directions; But when it's bad, thunder and fire, landslides and tsunamis, and floods are raging, and fierce beasts are foraging everywhere, and it is the common people who suffer. Is it God who determines the life and death sorrows of the world, or is it the virtue of man himself that determines everything around him or his own future development? ”
Wu You couldn't hear Wu You's words, and after a while, he said in a dialect, "People are also in the sky, and they are ordered by the Tao." Heaven is also to man, and it is commanded by words. If you are not as good as the Tao, the heavens will be absolute, and if you are not as good as the words, people will not be able to do it. ”
Ji Chang didn't understand much about this, "Dao! What is the Word? Mysterious and mysterious, confused, and all that is said is nonsense."
"Heavenly Master, what exactly does the so-called Heavenly Word refer to?" , but thought of a place that could be cut into Ji Chang began to ask.
"Well, it's a sacrifice, asking for the mandate of heaven and responding to the ...... of all people", and then Wu You said a lot of words.
At this time, Ji Chang understood very clearly, it turned out that this big sacrifice was actually Wang Po selling melons and boasting about herself, and it came down to the importance of his work for a long time.
I couldn't find any kind of words to ask rhetorically for a while, so Ji Chang continued the topic of Wu You and asked: "What kind of sacrifice can hear the words conveyed by the heavens?"
Wu You said: "People have the difference between the upper and the middle, the difference between the big and the small, if you talk about the small things in life, of course, it is the east neighbor to kill the cow, not as good as the west neighbor's oracle sacrifice, it is really blessed." However, in terms of state affairs and world affairs, only a grand ceremony like the Asking Heaven Ceremony can reach the heavenly court and judge the good and evil in the world."
"Oh"
Ji Changxin said: "As far as what you say is better than singing, don't say that you will help me ask if I kill a cow, that is, I have been running for three months in a row, and I ran over with a fart, although there is not much luggage, but it is also real gold and fresh shellfish, and I have fed the dogs?" You're not the same as this, that."
Ji Chang despised this damn Wu You very much in his heart, "I'm also a poor bastard, I will rebel in the future, what do you let me eat and drink, how can I rebel if I don't have money?" But if you ask the heavens, you will toss enough, clean up some things that are not in the world, and there are few in the sky, if you want me to bleed, I will just pour some blood, and I will also want my son to bleed."
I muttered in my heart for a long time, but I said something else: "Then may I ask the Heavenly Master, after receiving the instructions of the Heaven, whether he will immediately act according to the thoughts of the Heaven, and how can he maintain long-term development?"
"Obey the sky and respond to the people", Wu You's lines this time blurted out as if he had memorized countless times, and it was extremely smooth.
"Great goodness!"
Isn't this a nonsense, but Shuntian's matter, you can arrange it casually, but when it comes to people's hearts, it's really a bit difficult to organize. That's what Lao Tzu wants, or Lao Tzu rebels, and the name is not right, how can the rebellion continue. In order to find a reason, so Lao Tzu Ben Yousu came, just to use you first.
Thinking of this, Ji Chang showed a heartfelt smile on his face, pretending to be suddenly enlightened and extremely happy after hearing the answer of the Wu You Great Priest, and then continued to introduce the topic in depth.
