The monarch of the Qi State was simply terrified.

The national teacher is gone.

The sect elder is also gone.

They all evaporated directly from the world, leaving no trace.

He wanted to think that this was a mysterious powerhouse guarding the palace.

But he quickly woke himself up with a slap.

No matter how strong it is, it can make a supernatural powerhouse of the Twelve Realms disappear without leaving the slightest trace of a fight??

This is still a strong man, this is a god at all.

Will the gods protect the royal palace of a mortal dynasty?

No.

What's more, there are many dynasties nowadays, but I have never heard of a true record of ghosts and gods in the world.

The strong move mountains and seas, and kill people with karma and can be invisible.

But there are no real ghosts and gods, only powerful people.

And some of the myths that circulated in ancient times were mostly just a little fun for the entertainment in the market and countryside.

The monarch of Qi came to his senses, he ordered someone to send medicine to the prison and gave it to Shan Xin, and then quietly released the guard, gave a lot of money, and sent someone to help Shan Xin buy a mansion in the city on the edge of the capital of Qi and settle down again.

After doing all this secretly, he sent his father-in-law to the Qingfeng Five Sects to report the "disappearance of Jiyun".

If the national teacher is missing, there is still a little bit of it that he may have escaped.

Then Elder Jiyun's disappearance doesn't make sense at all.

This can only mean one thing, there is something wrong with the palace.

What's the problem.

I don't know.

Nobody knows.

...

...

"I see. ”

Xiao Wu suddenly stroked his palm and said, "Xiao Yu must be drinking." ”

Hua Xiaochan was speechless, "Sister Wu, Xiaoyu is only one year old, and he is still a child." ”

Xiao Wudao: "Then why doesn't he drink milk obediently and don't eat milk porridge, but just stare at the wine glass?"

Hua Xiaochan turned sideways slightly and looked at the one-year-old boy in her arms.

Xia Ji's eyes grunted away, no longer staring at the wine glass, just now he was just distracted, and he was inadvertently staring at the jade wine glass.

He doesn't drink milk, he doesn't eat milk porridge, and it's just because he's full.

Xiao Wu was surprised: "He can understand us." ”

Hua Xiaochan lowered her head and lightly pasted it on the boy's face: "It's so cute." ”

She smiled softly, and for some reason, she was in a much better mood.

Truth be told, there have been some rumors circulating in the palace lately.

It is said that there is a mysterious and unfathomable monster hidden in the depths of the palace.

And the national teacher, and the elder, were all killed by that monster.

Of course, no one dares to spread this rumor, and if it is a small talk, it is all secretive, and no one dares to discuss it blatantly.

Hua Xiaochan didn't understand what kind of monsters could make the national teacher and elders disappear silently.

But in addition to her fear, she was a little more relaxed.

At least, the person this monster killed, made her feel glad and happy.

Not only her, but everyone in the entire palace was happy.

As long as you don't get involved with them, that's a good thing.

Will it?

Nobody knows.

Therefore, the people in the court became worried, especially Concubine Ya.

She was the focus of the Elder's investigation, but the Elder suddenly disappeared...

If we investigate later, we will definitely not be able to get around this matter.

Concubine Ya was worried, and the others were also sincerely afraid.

Hua Xiaochan couldn't help but hug her son in her arms, she was full of worry, for fear that her son would be caught in this turbulent storm...

Next...

Concubine Chan took Xiao Wu and her son out of the palace, went to Mingsheng Temple on the outskirts of the country, burned incense and worshiped the Buddha devoutly, and gave up hundreds of taels of silver, so she asked for a long-lived lock that had been opened.

This lock is made of jade, the front is engraved with the pattern of "Pisces swimming under the lotus", and the back is engraved with "Fortune and longevity".

Hua Xiaochan carefully put on the longevity lock for her son, which made her a little relieved.

The longevity lock can lock the child's life, dispel evil and avoid disasters, and grow up safely, so even if I don't know if I can avoid the monster in the palace and avoid the treacherous dark tide in the dynasty sect, it can be regarded as a psychological comfort.

...

...

The monarch of the State of Qi reported the "disappearance of Elder Jifeng" to the queen of the sect.

On the contrary, there was no violent reaction from the sect.

As for why he didn't react, Qi Xiu didn't know.

According to the eunuch who went to deliver the message, when he was waiting outside the sect gate, he vaguely noticed that the five sects of Qingfeng seemed to be busy with something, as if it was an alternative sect master trial produced by the change of the old and new sect masters...

And a new killing has arrived, and the sect seems to be preparing.

And the disappearance of an elder of the Divine Power Realm has already involved a lot of aspects, and the five sects of Qingfeng can't take care of this for the time being, and only sent some disciples to investigate the capital of Qi and the surrounding areas through trials, and have not intervened recklessly, so as not to cause unnecessary losses at this critical moment.

Qi Xiu didn't know what the new killing robbery was, he only knew that a new turmoil might be coming.

He is the Son of Heaven and knows more, while ordinary people don't even know about the killing and robbery once in five hundred years.

Losing the suppression of the sect, Qi Xiu began to work hard to turn his energy towards Jiangshan Sheji.

He began to carefully inquire about political affairs, review and fold, and even make private interviews...

For a while, it seemed that the killing had not yet arrived.

However, the country of Qi began to gradually regain its prosperity and vitality, and it can be regarded as developing relatively quickly among the surrounding countries.

Merchants and merchants have gradually increased, even the street hawkers have more strength, and the Red Mansion Willow Garden, the Martial Artist Dojo, the Mortal Sect and so on are also full of vitality.

Since the disappearance of the national teacher and the sect elders, the palace has been very stable, and there have been no similar disappearances, but Qi Xiu also hides fear in his heart and does not dare to do anything ridiculous.

In the dead of night, the monarch couldn't help but feel creepy every time he thought about it, and he could only attribute it to the monster hidden in the shadows, probably because he saw that he was diligent in government affairs, so he did not appear again.

Of course, this is all self-comforting.

Because that monster...

Didn't care about him at all.

The monster was five years old, and his shoes had changed from size seventeen to twenty-seven, and he was studying in his study.

The teacher in the class is Taifu.

In addition to him, there are many princes and princesses in the study, adding up to forty-six people, which is quite a considerable number...

This Taifu is also a person with some backbone, so the seats are not arranged according to the degree of favor, but according to the height.

The low ones sit in the front, and the tall ones sit in the back.

Xia Ji sat in the middle, against the wall.

At this time, Taifu was teaching them to read and write.

He listened "very seriously" because the earlier he learned to read, he would be able to use his abilities.

As a result, he became the most serious study among all the princes and princesses.

Usually after other children run away after class, he still stays in the study to concentrate on reading and practicing calligraphy.

So much so that many "fools" and "nerds" who are giggling and laughing, "only stupid people will not understand what they can't learn during class, and continue to learn after class" and the like.

Slowly...

The voice escalated again.

"Our seventeenth brother really lives up to his name. ”

"Not bad, not bad, stupid, really good, wonderful, haha. ”

"Don't always bully the foolish brother, the stupid bird flies first, it's not too late. ”

"Oh, Ninth Sister, you really know how to learn and apply. ”

"Of course. ”

"If the seventeenth brother can be half as smart as the ninth sister, he doesn't need to study so hard. ”

After the children of the royal family left school, in the garden in the distance, through the window, they could still see the prince who was reading seriously in the upper study.

They ran away and went to the study in fear, and the seventeen princes were as if they were lying inside.

"What a freak. ”

"It's really weird..."

"And...", there was a tall prince who seemed to be a little precocious, "In fact, in this world, only by entering the sect and seeking the way of immortality is the real way out, and it is useless to study to death!"

"Ah~~ Zongmen, fourth brother, say a few more words. ”

"Yes, how can I enter the sect. ”

The princes and princesses ran away again.

Xia Ji glanced at it.

In a trance, he seemed to see the appearance of several princes and princesses in the Great Shang Palace running 1,500 years ago...

The twists and turns, the grievances and grievances, have all passed with time.

He smiled, blankly, silently, and hung his head, turning the next page of the paper.

The snow in the depths of winter is shallow and deep, deep and shallow.

Spring is gone, autumn is coming, and it is cold winter in an instant, and Xia Ji is already six years old.

In the cold winter, the study is not on the charcoal stove, and there is no earth dragon, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the Taifu still understands this truth, so he stubbornly does not let the royal family make this study a greenhouse.

At this time, it is the time of dismissal.

The palace maids all came to pick up the little masters of their respective families and left.

But except for one prince who is still there.

The footprints outside the door were covered with snow again.

There is black on white, black and white.

The candle flame in the study is still not extinguished, jumping in the snow of this deep winter.

The prince seems to have read the book and forgotten himself, and he has forgotten the time.

Taifu looked at the only child in the empty study, and smiled with satisfaction, he walked over and added some oil to the lantern.

The oil lamp exploded with a slight crackling sound, which made Xia Ji raise his head and meet the old man's gaze.

Taifu asked gently, "What does the seventeenth prince not understand?"

Xia Ji thought about it for a while, and then asked a "question that is just enough to show that he is looking carefully, but not so that the old lady can't answer it."

With a look of appreciation in his eyes, Taifu sat across from him and patiently answered for him.

One old and one young, one asks and one answers.

It didn't take long for the Q&A to turn into a discussion.

The two of them were engaged in discussion...

In the blink of an eye, there were two more people outside the door.

Xiao Wu stood outside the door with Concubine Chan and looked silently into the study.

But the old and the young were so involved in the discussion that no one even noticed them.

Concubine Chan glanced at the study room that had long been empty, and then at her son, and suddenly rubbed her eyes.

Xiao Wudao: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing..."

"You're crying. ”

"I... I... I'm just happy to see Xiaoyu work so hard. Concubine Chan's eyes were red, but she tried to squeeze out a smile.

"Oh. ”

Xiao Wu responded, but she didn't know that the reason why Hua Xiaochan was crying was not because she was happy, but because she was afraid that her son would work so hard and not reap the corresponding rewards.

The other concubines who have a relationship are trying to make their children have a relationship with the sect in order to enter the sect when they have the opportunity in the future.

But what about her?

She doesn't have that relationship.

Although the Hua family is not weak, she is just a symbolic marriage tool.

The Hua family will invest, but it will never be her who invests, nor will it be her son.

And if the son can't enter the sect, he will inevitably be involved in the turmoil of seizing the heir in the future.

The so-called seizure of the heir, nine deaths and one life...

If you stay out of it, you will be implicated and die.

That's why Hua Xiaochan cried.

It's Mommy, I'm sorry for you...

Mom is useless, there is no one who can give you the best...

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, who doesn't want their children to become dragons and phoenixes?

The two people who were discussing in the study finally raised their heads slightly, Taifu was a little confused, a little sudden, the contemplative color in his eyes had not yet dissipated, he only felt that the aura of the child in front of him was too much, right?

This is simply genius, no, maybe genius is not appropriate, because he has never seen a child with such a unique mind.

Although those ideas were still in their infancy, how did he come up with them?

Taifu feels that he has been taught...

Before he could say anything, the seventeenth prince in front of him had already gotten up and said respectfully: "The mother concubine is here, and today the fool will leave first." ”

Taifu smiled and said, "Good boy, go ahead." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xia Ji walked out, and the longevity lock made a tinkling sound.

Taifu suddenly shouted: "Seventeen princes." ”

Xia Ji tilted his head slightly.

Taifu said: "The old man is proud to have you as a student. ”

Xia Ji smiled and said, "Foolishness is the same. ”

Taifu smiled back, he was so satisfied with this student.

He watched the seventeen princes go away.

Concubine Chan took the boy's hand, held up the oil-paper umbrella of the golden plum blossom, and walked into the snowy road with no way ahead, and gradually disappeared.

...

...

In the following days, Xia Ji naturally got the opportunity to enter the Great Qi School Pavilion in advance because of Taifu.

The Great Qi School Pavilion is a special force in the Qi country, with one hundred and eight small pavilions, seventy-two schools, and thirty-six palaces.

This can be said to be a hub for the state to control the rivers and lakes.

The teachers of the Great Qi Academy include well-known bachelors, famous and knowledgeable figures from all walks of life, and well-known martial artists from various sects.

But where the famous Jianghu sect is not small, you can hang the name of the sect on the small pavilion here, and then arrange teachers to teach.

The students taught by these teachers are naturally special.

They were both connected to the original sect and subordinate to the imperial court.

There are more students with dual identities, which makes the relationship between the court and the rivers and lakes more and more lubricated.

The hub of the Great Qi School Pavilion plays a role in this way, thus closely linking the royal family of Qi and the rivers and lakes.

Of course, this is also the acquiescence of the sect, so that the integration of the whole Qi country can be formed, which is convenient for the rule of the imperial court and their rule.

The most famous point of the Great Qi School Pavilion is that it has the richest collection of books in the Qi country.

Xia Ji knew this, and he wanted to come here to read.

Taifu discussed with him for a few days, and then gambled on three more topics.

Xia Ji won, so Taifu guaranteed him to leave the palace and get the opportunity to enter the Great Qi School Pavilion to read books.

Xia Ji reads, firstly, to use his ability to obtain more nine-layer exercises, and secondly, to open his eyes to see this new world clearly.
