Ji Le disappeared, and Xia Guo reacted quickly. The crowd led by Yang Ke launched a search, and even the goddess Yuanxi personally went to check the ruins.

However, the ruins were affected by the aftermath of the battle between the Heavenly King and others, and now they have become a ruin, and there is no trace of Ji Le at all.

Three days later, the crowd gathered again in the Yongle Temple.

The atmosphere in the hall was dull, Emperor Shi glanced around, Yi Zhi, Nu Hao, Wang Ping, Xi Shi, Meng Tian, Zhao Gao, Yi Fei, and Huo Qubing were all present.

"Don't stop talking, whatever you think, come and listen. ”

Huo Quzhi looked left and right, and took the lead in speaking: "Ji Le is missing, and the responsibility lies with me." I continued to send the War Spirit to search for it in the evening. The mainland is looking for it inch by inch, but I don't believe that I can't find it. ”

Woman: "Brother is definitely not on the earth, otherwise the Earth Mother God would have contacted us a long time ago." I'm worried about something happening to him, after all, ......"

At present, the torch has been transferred to Huo Quai, and the contract between everyone and Xia Guo is not on Ji Le, but on the fire that Huo Qubing has re-enshrined.

"If something happens, a new national spirit will be born in the fire. Shi Huang: "The fire is not moving, which is the best news." ”

At present, Ji Le is important to Xia Guo, but it is not the most important. Because the Torch Inheritance and the Heroic Soul Contract are all in the fire on the altar, Ji Le himself is not irreplaceable.

Faced with this situation, everyone has different thoughts. Shi Huang, Huo Quzhi, Nu Hao, Xi Shi and others are close to Ji Le, and they definitely hope to get him back. Because Zhao Gao wants to rely on Ji Le's care, he also hopes that Ji Le will return.

As for the remaining four, Yi Zhi and Yi Fei have just arrived, and they are not close to Ji Le. Meng Tian and Tian Ping are only master and subordinate to Ji Le. Although he hopes that Ji Le will return, Ji Le's return will not damage the core interests of Xia Guo. After all, the core of their contract is Guozuo, the inheritance of the Zhuxia civilization, not an individual named "Ji Le".

Seeing that everyone was silent again, Shi Huang sighed in his heart: There are too many people!

When there are many people, the mind will be chaotic, and once the head of the group has an accident, it is easy to cause chaos.

"That kid has rarely interfered in the operation of the country in the past six months, but his existence itself is a needle in the sea, which is enough to suppress all infighting, so that everyone in the Yongle Hall can perform their duties and run the country safely. ”

Now that Ji Le is missing, Shi Huangshi immediately felt pressure.

Observing everyone carefully, Emperor Shi finally spoke slowly: "The old man is a few years old, and now that the god of the country is gone, he will be cheeky to take charge of the Yongle Hall for the time being, and say something heart-wrenching." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked solemn and listened attentively.

"We come from different eras, we have different ideas and different outlooks on life. Some people believe that the inheritance of civilization is greater than everything, as long as the Zhuxia nation continues in this world, it doesn't matter whether the country rises or falls, and even has the heart to rebuild the dynasty before their death. And some people think that the inheritance of Guozuo is more important than everything else, and recognize the current Yang regime. There are also people who only care about Ji Le's own safety. ”

Emperor Shi's words obviously separated the inheritance of the Xia Kingdom, the civilization of Zhuxia and Ji Le himself.

"For those of us, the Zhuxia civilization is obviously the most important. ”

The inheritance of civilization is the foundation for these people to sign contracts.

"In comparison, the inheritance of the Xia Kingdom is inferior. Even if the Xia Kingdom falls, as long as the clansmen are still there, it will only be established for another day, and it will be a change of day. ”

The woman's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Yi Zhi.

To say that there is no idea of establishing a commercial state again is definitely false. But they are spirits who cannot reproduce, and can only rely on the current people, hoping that they will have a kingdom called "Shang" in the future dynastic succession. But the four generations of the Yang family's grace can at least support it for a hundred years, so the woman and others did not raise this topic at all. It's too early to talk about the rise and fall of the country.

"Huo Quai, I remember that two months ago, a few people surnamed Liu came into contact with you?"

"Oh. There were several nationals who called themselves 'Zhongshan King of the Liu Family'. Hope to join forces with me and re-establish Dahan. However, the Yang family's merits are here, and their plan is to establish a vassal state outside, hoping that I will help them for the sake of their ancestors. ”

"King Zhongshan?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Emperor Shi's mouth: "King Jing of Zhongshan has many descendants, but it is not without records, why do individuals have to lean on this?"

Huo Quzhi shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.

The concubine couldn't help asking, "They want you to help revive the Han Dynasty, what do you say?" She is also a person from the Western Han Dynasty, and she knew Huo Qubing before her death. In this Xia country, which is inherited by the Han people, she also wants to revive her Han dynasty.

"I didn't care. After all, I'm not a living person, why worry about those things? And the Yang family is Zhengxing, where do I have the qualifications to split the country? Yang Ke ......" Huo Quzhi frowned, looking reluctant: "Yang Ke, as the monarch, is still quite good." ”

"Yang Ke will probably be very happy to hear your words," the woman used a fan to hide her smile. These young people are fighting all day long, but they can only see the love at a critical time.

"Cut—I'm not thinking about Yang Ke. If it were my cousin's descendants, I would definitely help. But after the King of Zhongshan-" Huo Quzhi said disdainfully: "Is it related to me?"

Liu Sheng, King of Zhongshan, son of Emperor Jing and brother of Emperor Wu of Han. Huo Qubing was a courtier of Emperor Wu's dynasty, and although he knew the King of Zhongshan, he was obviously not a person all the way. If it is a descendant of Prince Er, that is, the branch of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Aiji, he may take care of it. But does the descendant of King Zhongshan have anything to do with him, a hussar general who died young?

Xi Shi's expression moved, recalling the events of a few months ago. There is another episode in Huo Quai's matter. On that day, Huo Qubing did not fake his colors to those Liu clansmen, and after taunting King Jing of Zhongshan, he was caught by Ji Le when he turned around and laughed at him.

"Don't you look down on King Jing of Zhongshan? Also, people say that he has one hundred and twenty sons, and his descendants are all over the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty, and even after the Tang and Song dynasties, some people claim to be his descendants. died earlier than someone's child, and could only pass on to others, and eventually broke the incense, I don't know how many times stronger. ”

"Besides, a person who indulges in alcohol and pleasure can live for dozens of years. And so-and-so can only live to be twenty-three years old, which is a shame. Jealousy, this is obviously naked jealousy......"

So, that day, there was another meal of chickens and dogs jumping in the Yongle Palace. In the next three days, Ji Le's swordsmanship course was directly doubled.

Of course, it is also Huo Qu's illness that is not good at speaking. If you change to a friend of Ji Lejia, you will definitely go back.

"Well, it's good that I (Huo Quzhi) also has a son who died the same time as someone, but it's better that he didn't even leave a descendant. ”

However, Huo Qu was sick and straight, and lost a great opportunity to fight back against Ji Le.

After Huo Quzhi told his experience, everyone showed different colors.

At present, everyone in Yongle Palace, except for Emperor Shi from the Yellow Emperor period, Yi Zhi and Nu Hao are from Shang, Xi Shi and Wang Ping are in Zhou, Meng Tian and Zhao Gao are Qin, and Huo Qubing and Yi Fei are Han.

Excluding the souls of Emperor Shi and Qu Yuan, exactly eight people were divided into the time period of the four dynasties. Huo Quai's side is because the age is relatively recent, and some people in the Liu family plan to return to the country. But the previous dynasties ......

Emperor Shi glanced at Nu Hao, Meng Tian and the others: "Regarding the vassal country, the old man once discussed it with His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness was not opposed to the establishment of a vassal state. But the premise is that the vassal state must have the Xia State as the suzerain, and it must be the inheritance of the Zhuxia civilization. Then you will take your name. Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han, you think for yourself. Even if you want to use your own name, no one has a problem. ”

Isn't there a system of protectors in the city-states of the earth?

After the establishment of the feudal kingdom, the foundation also planned to let the women and others each protect a feudal kingdom, accumulate luck and incense for them, and facilitate their godhood.

"Your Highness has thought about everything for you a long time ago, and now that Your Highness is missing, I hope you can see that he is more dedicated to your kindness. ”

"Of course, His Highness is different from the past at this moment, and he is no longer the embodiment of Guozuo. Whether you are willing to continue to search, whether you are willing to do your best for Ji Le, is all voluntary. ”

"Frankly speaking, even the bottom line of the old man is just to do his best to search for Ji Le when there is nothing wrong with the Zhuxia inheritance. Therefore, there is no shame in some of your careful thoughts. ”

Huo Quzhi clenched his fists, but he didn't speak after all.

He understood what Emperor Shi meant, and he also knew Ji Le's embarrassment even better.

The inheritance of Zhuxia is the heaviest, followed by the continuation of the country. The most embarrassing point of Ji Le is that he, as the spirit of the country, is only the embodiment of the country, not the embodiment of the entire Zhuxia civilization.

At present, among the countries of the earth, only the Tumu national spirit has completed the dynastic change, transforming itself from the national spirit of the first dynasty to the civilization incarnation of the entire Tumu civilization, and becoming the core suzerain of the entire Tumu cultural circle.

But there is only one Xia country in the Zhuxia civilization at present, and Ji Le is only a Xia country, a national spirit bred in the Nine Palace City, and it is an identity that is a halfway monk and a relinquishment. Without going through the second dynasty, no one knows if he can represent the entire Chinese civilization.

It is true that there is currently no one more qualified to be the heir to civilization than Ji Le. Not surprisingly, when the Xia Kingdom was destroyed and the new dynasty was established, Ji Le was able to complete his transformation into a civilized suzerain.

But that step, it takes time.

And at present, Ji Le doesn't have this time, and even returns a fire. At this moment, Ji Le is no longer the national spirit in a sense.

At the moment, Ji Le is just an individual.

The search for Ji Le is just based on affection. If you want to, no one can question if you don't want to. Because of the contracts with many heroes, they are currently stored in the flame on the altar.

Woman: "I'm definitely looking for my brother." At night, I will work with Xiao Huo to find people with the Battle Soul Yin Soldier. In the underworld, you can also ask a few Yin Gods to help. ”

In the eyes of women, the Zhuxia civilization is obviously the most important. followed by Ji Le, and the inheritance of Xia Guo is nothing to her at all. She wished that the fate of the Xia Kingdom would come to an end, and then open up a new dynasty.

According to Ji Le's jokes with Huo Quai's illness in private, doesn't he often say that "the third generation of Xia and Shang is reincarnated"? Maybe the next dynasty will be the Shang Kingdom.

Xi Shi also said: "I'll go too, although the little girl doesn't have a war spirit, but she has been practicing witchcraft recently, and she will definitely be able to help." ”

Tian Ping: "The farm work has stopped for the past few days, and I can help." ”

Meng Tian was about to speak, when Zhao Gao next to him suddenly got up: "Don't worry, the villain will fight for his life and get His Highness back!"

was robbed by Zhao Gao this time, Meng Tian said sullenly: "A certain and the queen and Bi Yao used the battle soul yin soldiers to find people." ”

Unlike others, he attaches more importance to the national glory of the Xia Kingdom. The interaction between young people such as Yang Ke, Liu Yingyang and Deng Kai made him think back to his former self. Once, I was young, and I was as arrogant and proud as these young people.

At the same time, he also admired the sacrifices that Yang had made for the people. When Wang Ting helped, he saw the efforts of Yang Ke and others, and he didn't want Xia Guo to suffer.

However, Ji Le, as the benefactor of the séance, has been generous to him this year. Even in the pre-Qin era, he had to fulfill the obligation of a diner.

"On the basis of not harming the interests of Xia Guo, I will help find it. But if a foreign enemy takes this opportunity to attack the Xia Kingdom, I will come back immediately. ”

Emperor Shi then looked at Yi Zhi and Yi Fei.

"What about the two of you?"

Yi Zhi smiled: "Our Royal Highness has descended from the spirit, and we have the grace of regeneration." If there is no trace of His Highness, how can we rest assured?"

Concubine: "Not bad. ”

Seeing that everyone was willing to help, Emperor Shi breathed a sigh of relief. He asked Yi Zhi: "Among all the people, you are the most successful, I don't know what I should do next?"

Yi Zhi: "The atmosphere in the city is not right now, the national spirit has been missing for three days, and his life and death are uncertain. But because of the fire, it has nothing to do with the safety of the people. The worst-case scenario is to restore the environment from a year ago. ”

Without Ji Le, wouldn't the Xia Kingdom continue for a hundred years, and wouldn't the people still live happily?

If you still can't get news of Ji Le in a few days, I'm afraid that the royal court won't continue to send people to search, right?

Hearing the meaning of Yi Zhi's words, Shi Huang's face was a little bad.

At this time, Yang Ke suddenly visited.

Xi Shi went out to welcome him in, he sat directly beside Shi Huang's side, and did not say a few words of greeting and went straight to the point.

"To this day, Ji Le has no news. People are panicking, and it can't go on like this. ”

Emperor Shi thought of Yi Zhi's words just now, and his tone was a little bad: "What does the monarch mean, what should he do? Directly recall the people who have been scattered?"

"That's definitely not going to work. What I mean is to send someone to pretend to be Ji Le first, and then we will pretend to find someone and welcome 'him' back. Then, find another one and send people to search all over the country. ”

Emperor Shi didn't speak, and turned his head to look at Yi Yin and the people from the Yongle Palace.

The woman pondered: "What does the monarch mean, is it a different goal?"

"Yes, the news of the disappearance of the national spirit is too serious, and it is easy to arouse the prying eyes of the surrounding countries. According to the information of the border platform, the city-states in the west have already made moves. ”

In addition, there are letters of Toya and Rome, which also need to be replied to in the name of the national spirit. Yang Ke: "Regarding the pressure on Tumu, we must show that our national spirit is still safe and sound." ”

This is the "golden crown" thing.

For three days, the king of heaven has not been idle. He is busy weaving destiny on the continent, stirring up the storm and provoking conflicts between countries. The Xia Kingdom, which lost the protection of the national spirit, is undoubtedly the weakest moment.

As the monarch, Yang Ke is under great pressure. There is an urgent need for a message that "the spirit of the country is back safe and sound" to stabilize people's hearts.

"As for what's next, I'm going to use another reason. For example, if Nangong is missing, or if someone else in the royal court has an accident, I will personally come forward to find someone. ”

"You want to go in person?" Emperor Shi's face immediately improved.

I thought that Yang Ke planned to take the opportunity to fall into the well, but I didn't expect him to be so dedicated to Ji Le. You must know that at this moment, Ji Le has nothing to do with Guozuo, and he no longer has any value to Xia Guo.

The woman couldn't help but ask: "The monarch hasn't heard the wind in the Spirit Palace for the past few days? Ah Di no longer has the fire, and the fire is sacrificed to the altar again. Even if he finds Adi, he is just an ordinary person. ”

"No matter what, he is still part of the Xia Kingdom. Even if he loses the power of fire, he is still an ordinary citizen of the Xia Kingdom. As a monarch, you can't let your people be left out. ”

The woman bowed slightly, and then smiled at Yang Ke and said, "Your child has started crying again in the past few days, maybe he misses his father? ”

Knowing that everyone was planning to discuss the total, Yang Ke got up and went to Nangong's mother and son's residence.

As soon as he left, Emperor Shi hurriedly asked everyone, "What do you say?"

It is said to be asking everyone, but the real purpose is to ask Ji and Yizhi.

"If the monarch is not lying, then his advice can be carried out. But the person who pretends to be 'His Highness' needs to be arranged by us. Hussar General, how are you coming?"

Huo Quzhi was originally looking down at Yang Ke's intentions, but when he heard this, his eyes widened and he pointed to his nose: "Me?"

"That's right, among those of us, you are the closest to Your Highness. You came to pretend to be Your Highness, and the Yiguang girl used illusions to deceive the people. Go back and let the royal court make another monarch's relatives disappear, and let Yang Ke go out to search justifiably. ”

Concubine: "But I heard that the situation abroad is unstable, will the monarch's going out hinder state affairs?"

Woman: "So, let's help him guard the Xia Kingdom." Yin soldier battle spirit, plus a few of our demigod-level masters take turns to sit in charge, I don't believe that anyone dares to provoke casually. And nominally, isn't 'Ah Di' back? With the reputation of 'Ah Di', ordinary countries dare not provoke him. ”

When everyone thought about it, they felt that this plan was feasible for the time being.

"Then, Yiguang will go and ask the monarch, and we will sum it up. ”

Meng Tian touched his head: "Speaking of which, the Spirit Palace is so busy right now. Nangong's mother and son are not easy to recuperate here, why don't you let the monarch take them back?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Emperor Shi, Yi Zhi, Nuhao and others darkened. Without waiting for them to speak, Zhao Gaoxian said with compassion: "General Meng Tian, Queen Nangong is not in good health, and the little prince has Qu Yuan's soul in his body. Compared to the royal court, our Spirit Palace Yongle Hall can take better care of them. Don't forget, Mr. Yi Fei is with us. ”

Woman: "That's good. It is better for Nangong to be in the Spirit Palace. There is a shrouded divine power of Shao Si Ming, which can form a shelter for the child. ”

It is absolutely impossible for Yang Ke to take the child away!

The queen looked at Meng Tian with a dissatisfied face: I don't have any political acumen, is it time to let Nangong's mother and son return to the royal court?
