Chapter 1004 Three trigrams and one image

Hearing a shout from someone outside the tent, the two soldiers who escorted Burning Clothes Mutan lost their minds for a moment and stood in place.

Then the curtain was opened, and a man entered, armed with a mallet, and said to the two soldiers, 'Don't go back.' ’

The two soldiers escorted the Burning Clothes back to your grandmother's seat and knelt down in the middle of the hall again.

In the darkness, I looked by the candlelight, and it turned out to be Burning Celery.

Ran Xiangtu scolded loudly: "Qin'er, you are crazy, you have entered the account with weapons, is this a rebellion, why don't you quit quickly." ’

Ran Xiangqin asked rhetorically, "Lord Shoufu is above the Ming Hall, and he openly disobeys the will of the monarch's mother, is it also trying to rebel?"

She was furious, but she couldn't speak harshly to her niece, so she stamped her feet and said, 'It's the eldest sister who has indulged you to lawlessness.' ’

With that, he let out a long sigh and turned his head back to his seat.

Ran Xiangqin put away the cold light mallet, retreated to the entrance of the big tent, and stood next to the halberd soldier.

Your grandmother suppressed her anger and said, "It's not too early, so go back and rest." ’

Ran stood up, saluted, and walked out of the tent.

Then she said to Ransmutan, 'What you said earlier is indeed a punishment for sin. And now I ask you, what is your intention in what thou hast said before?'

Ranshang Mutan said: 'Your Majesty, the grass people have a sincere heart, and the heavens can learn from it, if there is the slightest bad intention, may the heavens immediately condemn the sins and die in the court.' You are bewitched by mediocrity, you are in danger, but you don't know it. ’

Your grandmother smiled bitterly and said, 'Tell me, what's in danger?'

Ransheng Mutan said: "The grass people do not know where the danger comes from, and in short, this trip is not good for Your Majesty. ’

Your grandmother said, 'Since you don't know where the danger comes from, and you keep saying that the danger is imminent, you are talking nonsense.' ’

Ranshang Mutan said, "Even if I am talking nonsense, the divine matchmaker in the clan is not talking nonsense." ’

Your grandmother said, 'What do you say?'

Ran Shang Mu Tan said: 'This trip, the Xiangshi has already been auspicious, but why did he choose another time to set off? ’

When your grandmother heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, her face turned from disgust, and she said softly: "Burning Clothes Mutan, you have been in charge of the military power of my entire territory and have been the commander of the soldiers and horses for decades, why are you making such a fuss. The time of departure was set by me and Tsuna. Of course, I also know that the auspicious time has been divided, but the auspicious time that the Xiangshi has divined is an ugly time. First, when the ugly time is ugly, the night is deep, in the darkness, everything is inconvenient to plan, and the road is quite difficult; second, according to the time chosen by the monarchs and mothers of the past dynasties, there is no precedent for the ugly time, which shows that this is not a good time. And the time is when the dragon comes out of the hole, when the sun is full of energy, and the dryness is the weakest, which is a rare good time. What's wrong with that?'

Burning Clothes Mu Tan shook his head and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you have lived outside the territory for a long time, and it is understandable that you don't know much about the customs in the clan, but Burning Clothes, as a former Zaifu, treats the revelation of heaven like this, which is really a sigh. It is hateful that he still does not know how to repent now. ’

Your grandmother said, 'You're too alarmist.' It's only an hour, where can you feel so resentful?'

Ran Xiangtu was speechless, and after being stunned for a long time, he knelt two steps forward, lay down under your grandmother's table, and pleaded: 'Your Majesty, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Please go back first. You are a golden body, and the future and destiny of my Drought Clan are all in the body of Your Majesty alone, so you can't miss it at all. ’

Your grandmother said impatiently, 'Well, I'm tired too, so I don't need to say more.' Take her down. ’

The two soldiers immediately stepped forward and escorted the burning clothes to the outside of the tent.

Burning Clothes Mutan shouted, "Your Majesty, for your safety, think twice, and don't venture any further." Your Majesty!'

The soldier was about to leave the tent with his Burning Clothes Mutan, when your grandmother suddenly said, 'Wait a minute. ’

The two soldiers stopped, dragging the burning mutan and turning to face the main hall.

Your grandmother stood up and said, 'Burning Clothes Mu made wild remarks and disturbed the morale of the army, and she should have been punished, but she was loyal and risked her death, so she should be spared death, and she should be taken into custody with the team, and she will be convicted when she returns to Junshan.' ’

Burning Clothes Mutan was escorted out of the big tent, and Burning Clothes Qin followed him and went out of the tent as well.

Your grandmother shouted, 'General Qin, you stay first.' ’

Ran Xiangqin turned around and walked to the center of the big tent, gave a military salute upward, and stood in place.

Your grandmother said, 'It is truly remarkable that you are so faithful at a young age, and that you have the courage to stand up for reason, and that you are not afraid of power.' What is even more rare is that he has a benevolent heart and knows how to pity the old minister, which is amazing. ’

Ran Xiangqin leaned over and replied, "Your Majesty has praised it, this is all for the minister's duty. ’

Your grandmother smiled and nodded, saying, 'Go back and rest.' ’

Ran Xiangqin saluted, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

I also got up and said goodbye to your grandmother, 'Then I'll go too, and you should rest early, and you will have to hurry tomorrow morning.' ’

After saying that, he walked out of the big tent.

Outside the tent, the lights were everywhere, illuminating the entire canyon as if it were day.

The mountains on either side were darker, like two rows of giant beasts looking down on the tents at the bottom of the valley.

In my heart, I skipped a trace of coolness, and suddenly recalled the words of Burning Clothes Mutan, and a wave of fear came from all directions.

I unconsciously turned around and walked towards the main tent.

When he walked to the entrance of the main tent, he was about to go in, but suddenly he came to his senses, and he couldn't think of a reason to go in.

Then he turned and walked forward.

My tent was half a mile from the Lord's tent. I was just halfway through when I suddenly saw a black shadow moving on the wheel of a car in the dark parking lot next to a boulder.

I was taken aback, then calmed down and walked towards the parking lot.

As he approached the place where the shadow moved, a voice in the darkness whispered, 'Is it the son-in-law?'

I stopped and asked softly, 'Who's over there, what the hell is doing?'

Then came the voice in the darkness: 'I am Burning Mutan, and they have chained me to the wheels and cannot move. ’

When I heard this, I walked forward in three steps and two steps, and sure enough, I saw Burning Mutan sitting on a wheel.

When Ransheng Mutan saw me coming, he said excitedly, 'You want to save your mother.' ’

I didn't answer her, but went up and helped her untie the ropes that bound her to the wheels, and went to untie the chains that connected her feet to the axles.

I tossed for a long time, but I didn't open it.

He said, 'Don't bother, you can't open this chain without a key.' I feel much better after untying the ropes, at least I can get up and move freely, and the chain is tied like that. I'm a repeat offender, and it's inconvenient to open it. ’

I gave up the lock and sat down next to her.

Ran Shang Mu Tan said, "Son-in-law, in this whole team, you are the only one who can save the monarch's mother, you have to find a way to save her." ’

I said, 'General Mutan, you have seen the situation today, and your reasons are not enough to convince the monarch to return to the capital. It's not that I don't believe you, but I also think your reasons are too far-fetched. The sacrificial ceremony, which only comes once in decades, is the most solemn ritual of the Drought Devil people, how can you change your plans because of your ambiguous words?'

Burning Clothes Mutan moved closer to me and said, "Son-in-law, you don't know anything. In front of the monarch's mother, there are some things that I can't say, for fear of shocking the holy driver. Of course, the reason why I came in a hurry today was not because of my own imagination. ’

I asked, 'Does General Mutan have any other important information?'

"Early this morning, I went hunting with a few old friends to the mountains. At noon, I was still on my way back when I suddenly met someone who hurried over.

"When I looked at it, I recognized it as the Xiangshi Ranshoichi of the Imperial Star Temple.

Ran Sheng gasped and said to me, "I want to go and save the monarch quickly."

I thought that Junshan had been attacked by a foreign tribe again, so I hurriedly asked her who the enemy was.

But Ranshang said that it was not an enemy who was coming.

I asked her again what was going on.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Mother of the Monarch set out to the ancestral mountain to worship the gods."

I smiled and said to her that it was the day when the monarch was going to leave for the ancestral mountain, and everyone in the tribe knew what was so strange about it.

But Ran Yiyi said to me, "The time of the king's departure is not right."

I asked her what was going on.

"Ran Shang told me that when Ran Sheng asked her about the Tianxing hexagram, she divined the auspicious time for the monarch's mother to set off. She occupies three trigrams on the listening platform, the first hexagram is the elephant of Keisu, the second hexagram is the elephant of Dousu, and the last hexagram is the elephant of the cow. The three trigrams should be ugly. Ran Xiangtu told her that it was late at night and it was inconvenient to travel, so she asked if there was any other time to choose. Ran Sheng Yi told Ran Sheng that the three hexagrams pointed to the same result, and there was no choice. After listening to this, Ran Xiangtu left sullenly.

It wasn't until this morning, when Ran Sheng woke up and went out, that she found that the Jun's mother's team hadn't set off yet, and she felt that something was wrong, and her heart was full of thoughts.

But she also comforted herself that if she didn't set out at an auspicious time, it wouldn't be a big problem if she set off as usual.

She hurried back to the Imperial Star Courtyard, and on the listening platform, she went one by one to the hours before noon, and found that they were all murderous, and none of them were usual.

Ran Sheng was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.

She hurried to find Burn Dress, but Burn Dressy had been busy all morning with her departure and didn't see anyone.

She waited at the junction again, hoping that when the chariot passed by, she would stop the driver, but at last she was stopped by the guards.

As the chariot passed, she shouted in the crowd to turn back, but no one heard her except the strange eyes of the people around her. ’

I said, "No wonder when I turned from the Junmu Palace to Nancheng, I vaguely heard someone shouting, and I thought there was an argument between the people watching the excitement, but I didn't care, it turned out that Xiangshi Ranshang wanted to discourage the car." ’

Ransheng Mutan said, "It's a pity that her voice is not loud enough, if it were me, she would be able to stop the whole team with one shout." ’

After she finished speaking, she sighed regretfully. ”
