Chapter 628: A Letter to the Son of Heaven
"Shao Zhenren!"
Looking at Shao Yuanjie, Zhu Houzhao showed a little surprise, you must know that Shao Yuanjie has always been very disciplined, according to the convention, at this time, Shao Yuanjie should be in the Taoist temple to cultivate, if there is nothing important, it will not appear here.
Shao Yuanjie walked into the room, saluted Zhu Houzhao, and then looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Poor Dao is here to transfer something to His Majesty for the deceased!" ”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Old man? ”
Shao Yuanjie's words couldn't help but make Zhu Houzhao a little puzzled, who was the person who actually asked Shao Yuanjie to transfer things for him, especially the things sent by the other party were still for himself.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but Zhu Houzhao couldn't think of who wanted to give him something.
Seeing Shao Yuanjie take out a token from his cuff, when this token appeared in the sight of the Son of Heaven, Zhu Houzhao suddenly got up, with a little surprise on his face, and couldn't help but say: "Wuwang Ling, this is the Wuwang Order token that I gave to my companion in the past, does it mean that Daban has returned to Beijing?" ”
For this token, Zhu Houzhao is very familiar, after all, this token was given to Chu Yi by him at the beginning, and now such a token that should be carried by Chu Yi suddenly appeared, which naturally surprised Zhu Houzhao.
In order to find Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao has really spent a lot of effort and effort in the past few years. But Chu Yi was as if he had disappeared into the vast sea of people, and he was stunned that there was no news.
Looking at the Martial King token in front of him, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but take it, then looked at it carefully, and nodded with great certainty: "Yes, it is the token I gave to my companion." ”
While speaking, Zhu Hou looked at Shao Yuanjie, with a bit of expectation in his eyes, obviously he thought that Chu Yi had returned, but he didn't show up to avoid him.
"Otomo...... Where is Otomo now? I'm going to see him! ”
Zhu Houzhao felt that he was unwilling to wait for a moment, and looked directly at Shao Yuanjie, hoping that Shao Yuanjie could tell him Chu Yi's whereabouts.
However, Shao Yuanjie shook his head slowly, and said with a wry smile on his face: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Your Majesty, this Martial King Token was found by the Great Governor before he went to the West and asked the Poor Dao to transfer it to His Majesty, so where the Chief Administrator is now, Poor Dao really doesn't know!" ”
"What? You...... You don't know the whereabouts of Otomo either! ”
Hearing Shao Yuanjie say this, Zhu Houzhao's face immediately showed a look of disappointment.
Rubbing the token, Zhu Houzhao looked up at Shao Yuanjie and said, "Shao Zhenren, you will tell me the story of your eldest companion looking for you one by one!" ”
Shao Yuanjie had long been mentally prepared for this, so when Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth to ask, Shao Yuanjie told him everything about Chu Yi's search for him.
Sitting there, Zhu Houzhao listened to Shao Yuanjie's eloquent expression calmly, and he couldn't see what Zhu Houzhao's mood was at this time.
After speaking, Shao Yuanjie looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, the chief manager has obviously been prepared for a long time, maybe it is really as the chief manager said, he has already achieved success in cultivation and has ascended to the Tao!" ”
Hearing Shao Yuanjie's persuasion, Zhu Houzhao showed a little smile at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Shao Yuanjie and said, "Ascend to the Dao?" Shao Zhenren, do you believe it yourself? Or do you think that he will be able to ascend to the Tao? ”
If you were to be a mediocre emperor, when you heard the news that you could ascend to the Dao, I was afraid that I would be extremely excited, and I was bent on the matter of ascending, but Zhu Houzhao was obviously not a mediocre lord, and he had a clear understanding of the birth, aging, sickness and death in the world, so he would not believe the so-called words of the ascension.
Shao Yuanjie, as a representative figure of Taoism, knows that there is no such thing as ascending to the Tao in this world, Shao Yuanjie slowly shook his head and said: "I don't know the poor way!" ”
Shao Yuanjie couldn't say that he didn't believe it directly, so he could only say that he didn't know.
Waving his hand, Zhu Houzhao sat there rubbing the Martial King token, Shao Yuanjie sighed slightly, and slowly exited the room with a salute to the Son of Heaven.
At the door, Wang Zheng saw Shao Yuanjie retreat, secretly glanced into the room, and whispered to Shao Yuanjie: "Shao Zhenren, Your Majesty is ......."
Shao Yuanjie said: "Your Majesty may be looking at things and thinking about people at this time." ”
In the room, Zhu Houzhao rubbed the Martial King Token, quite distracted, as if he had seen the scene when he gave the Martial King Token to Chu Yi.
"Big companion, you don't say goodbye, you just leave, but you are very free and easy, but you know how much effort I spent to find you."
Zhu Houzhao muttered, and the hand holding the token slammed hard.
Anyway, Zhu Houzhao has also practiced for so long with Shao Yuanjie and Zhang Yanqi, two innate powerhouses of Taoism, even though he only cultivates health exercises, but Zhu Houzhao is physically strong, if Zhu Houzhao practices some techniques, I am afraid that even second-rate masters on the rivers and lakes may not be able to hurt Zhu Houzhao.
It is conceivable that Zhu Houzhao's hand strength is definitely not small, and a slight sound was heard when he unintentionally exerted force, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look down at the token in his palm.
Some debris actually fell from the original flawless Martial King Token, but this made Zhu Hou stunned.
You must know that this piece of Martial King Token is made of dark iron, and its hardness is absolutely rare in the world, but at this moment, a lot of debris fell on the token, and at first glance it seems that the surface of the Martial King Token has been shattered.
But Zhu Houzhao probed the Martial King token with his fingers, and saw that pieces of debris on the token fell down, and small characters seemed to appear on the flat Martial King token.
"Hey, there's a word on it!"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, but the small characters were too small, even with Zhu Houzhao's eyesight, he could vaguely see the existence of those small characters, as for what these words were, he really couldn't judge.
Frowning, Zhu Houzhao looked at the small characters with a little worry, who made him unable to tell what the tiny font was.
Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, Otomo once ordered a craftsman to polish a glass mirror that can magnify the object......
But everything that Chu Yi offered, Zhu Houzhao treasured it, and now thinking of the glass mirror that Chu Yi had given him, Zhu Houzhao suddenly said to Wang Zheng at the door: "Wang Zheng, drive the Xiwen Palace!" ”
The palace named by Zhu Houzhao as the Xiwen Palace is the place where Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi read and study on weekdays, but after Chu Yi disappeared, everything here was sealed by Zhu Houzhao.
With a squeak, the heavy door opened, and the Xi Wen Hall slowly opened, but what greeted Zhu Houzhao was something that was all too familiar.
It can be said that everything in this Xiwen Hall is related to Chu Yi, and even many things are dedicated by Chu Yi to Zhu Houzhao.
Before walking to a bookshelf, Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand to open a brocade box on the bookshelf, and saw a mirror lying quietly in it.
Taking out the glass mirror, Zhu Houzhao carefully placed the Martial King token on the table, and at the same time looked at the Martial King token with the help of the glass mirror.
This time, the small characters that were originally unclear were magnified several times more than under the glass mirror, but it was enough for Zhu Hou to take care of it clearly.
As Zhu Houzhao identified the words on the Martial King token one by one, Zhu Houzhao's expression became a little weird.
It was enough to pass the tea effort, and it was said that Zhu Houzhao should have clearly identified the words on the Wuwang token for a while, but he didn't know why Zhu Houzhao looked so strange.
It turned out that on the token was indeed Chu Yi's message, and the content of the message was very simple, telling Zhu Houzhao to put national affairs first and be a generation of Ming Jun, and at the same time it was a very simple map.
Although it is said that it is a map, it is just a few lines, as for why the Son of Heaven can distinguish it, it is because the location marked on the map left by Chu Yi on the Martial King Token Zhu Houzhao does not know how familiar it is.
Wuwang Mansion
Since Chu Yi's disappearance, the Wuwang Mansion has been closed by the Son of Heaven, and in addition to regularly sending people to clean up, the Wuwang Mansion has been uninhabited for several years.
Walking into the Wuwang Mansion, the barren grass and the thick fallen leaves on the ground can be said to be quite desolate in the entire Wuwang Mansion.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Houzhao was stunned at first, and then reacted, he was angry because there was no news of Chu Yi, but in a fit of anger, he ordered the Wuwang Mansion to be closed.
The Wuwang Mansion was closed, and for such a long time, Zhu Houzhao forgot about it, and now he reacted when he saw it.
Wang Zheng and several other attendants who followed behind Zhu Houzhao saw that there were many wild grasses in the courtyard, and the leaves on the ground were piled up with a thick layer.
Wang Zheng looked at Zhu Houzhao and frowned, and immediately changed his words: "Your Majesty, the slave will send someone to clean up." ”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait any longer, he was in a hurry to see the location marked by the map that Chu Yi had left for him on the token.
The reason why Zhu Houzhao recognized at a glance where the map on the token pointed to was where the secret room of the Wuwang Mansion was located.
In the past, the secret room was where Chu Yi retreated, but now it has ushered in Zhu Houzhao, the Son of Heaven, after several years of inhabitation.
Zhu Houzhao walked into the secret room, his eyes swept away, and in the secret room, it was simple, except for an incense burner, which was a futon for people to sit cross-legged and practice.
Walking straight towards the incense burner, Zhu Houzhao stood there, his eyes fell on the incense burner, and slowly reached out to grab the lid of the incense burner.
