Chapter 367: Bad News

When he was a child, it was pitch black in the palace of Fengcheng.

The ladies and dependents in the palace have all moved to the new palace in Hojing, which is more than 30 miles away, taking away most of the attendants, making the half-deserted old palace even more empty and lonely.

Yi An stood on the platform of the main hall, his face worried and dazed, frowning and looking into the dark distance.

He saw the fallen leaves struggling and rolling in the howling north wind, with the unwillingness not to be manipulated, and his ears were full of "whirring" and "rustling" sounds.

Suddenly, a white shadow like an arrow flew in, Yi'an's sluggish face moved slightly, and he raised his arm to catch the carrier pigeon that had returned from the dust.

Yi An took the news from Monday from the pigeon's lap and gently let the pigeon go.

When he opened the letter, Yi'an's brows instantly furrowed even tighter, his face changed a few times, he looked back at the hall where the lights were still on, heard the intermittent coughing sound, hesitated for a moment, and walked down the steps and walked quickly to the left.

Zhou Dan, who was left in the palace by Zhou Jue, the king of Zhou, so that he could discuss things, was buried in the case, and he had a big black braid in his hand.

Junbao entered the study and said, "Grandpa, Yi'an...... Ask to see you outside".

"Please!"

Zhou Dan had a trace of panic and uneasiness on his face, and hurriedly got up from behind the case to greet Yi'an, who arrived late at night.

"Yi'an, meet grandpa"

"Excuse me, Yi'an said quickly, but there is something urgent?"

Yi An tightened his face, took out a white silk strip from his sleeve, and handed it to Zhou Dan with both hands.

Zhou Dan opened the silk note and saw that it read, "June Fourth encountered a tiger, and Manu has been missing for more than a month, the ashes have been taken away, there is no trace of victimization, it is suspected that he left on his own, and he is trying his best to find it, and the criminal is on Monday."

After reading it, Zhou Dan suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he staggered back two steps, his first reaction was that Xiao Wu was eaten by a tiger, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, regretting that he didn't follow the king's will and stop her risky action.

Yi An hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, "Grandpa!"

Zhou Dan raised his hand, signaling that he was fine, and staggered to the side of the desk, beating his spirits.

"Yi'an, you, come and sit."

Yi An hurriedly gave a salute, "Grandpa Xie, minister, you can't stay, the king, you haven't slept yet."

"King, are you sleepless again?"

"Yes, it's been two days, the king, I coughed badly today, minister, I just received this news, and I didn't dare to report it to the king, so I came here directly, and asked my grandfather...... Decide first"

Zhou Dan frowned, with a thick worry on his face, "Yi'an, this news...... Just press it down first, don't tell it, save the king...... Follow the annoyance".

Glancing up at Zhou Dan, Yi An's face was worried, and he asked tentatively: "Okay......! Could something be wrong? How do I get back to Monday?".

Zhou Dan forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and regained some of his senses, like replying, more like he was explaining himself.

"No, it's going to be fine, yesterday, my father...... I have divined a hexagram for her, showing that she is free of disasters and difficulties, she will be fine, and the ashes will not be taken away, which means that ...... The tiger didn't hurt her, it should be ...... She found out that she was being followed, and deliberately used this excuse to throw them away on Monday, just like before...... Deliberately leading them down the wrong path, right!

Yi An is King Zhou's most trusted close attendant, and all the king's tests and trials on Xiao Wu are handled by him, so he naturally knows that the king attaches great importance to Xiao Wu.

Especially after Xiao Wu saved the king, after breaking two fingers, coupled with this plague, she was born and died many times, turning the tide and saving the people of Fengcheng who were poisoned, and the king regarded her as a treasure.

Thinking of the previous Monday's message, "Manu cares, like a father and a couple", knowing that Zhou Gong likes Xiao Wu, Yi An hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"June Fourth, will it ?...... And that manu...... Eloped."

Zhou Dan immediately replied, his tone was hurried and slurred, and his voice became lower and lower, "No! No, she, she was in her heart...... Packed only with ...... She, Shi, Fu, has been since she was a child, and she can't tolerate it...... Others, besides, she promised...... Will be back".

In fact, Zhou Dan has thought about this problem more than once, and he just used this reason to convince himself, the mysterious manu, just take care of his master like a father, and he is still as close as a couple? !

Actually, Zhou Dan didn't dare to completely confirm it, but no matter what, he had to maintain Xiao Wu's image, but he felt like he was bitten by ants, painful and messy. 360 Literature Network

If Xiao Wu said that she only loved his master, then her unbelievable performance towards the dead Wuba would not be able to explain, obviously, she was once in love with Wuba.

Will she fall in love with Manu again, surnamed Lone?

No, Xiao Wu is very loyal to love.

Yi'an, who is well-versed in the world, has seen the strength of Zhou Dan's hard pretend, and feels that it is not appropriate to ask again, so he salutes and says goodbye.

"Yes, that's fine, grandpa, the minister will suppress this matter first...... Don't bother the king, what do you have to say about Monday, grandpa, please send someone to inform the ministers...... That's it, Yi'an, please retire first"

"Yi'an, just reply directly, just write, 'Wait for you...... At all costs, try your best to search, live to see people, and die ...... I want to see the corpse.'"

"Yes, Grandpa, Minister, I'll reply immediately."

Zhou Dan nodded, "Yi'an, a little later, my father...... Go and accompany the king, you go back first."

"Okay, okay, with the grandfather here, the minister will be relieved"

After Yi'an left, Zhou Dan kept chewing on his words, "Liusi, will it be?" and Namanu...... eloped".

Over and over again.

Zhou Dan knocked over the cruet in his heart, there were all kinds of bitter, spicy, sweet and sour tastes, but he was more worried, he had no intention of doing anything, picked up the tortoise shell on the table, and re-divined the hexagram for Xiao Wu.

Again and again, and again and again.

Counted three times, it was not a bad result, Zhou Dan finally let go of some hearts, his eyes flashed with tears, and he was alone in the void in front of him.

"Huofeng Ding, Yuanji, Heng ......"

"Xiao Wu, it's okay! you must ...... It's okay, Brother Dan, you won't be wrong......"

"Xiao Wu, give Brother Dan...... Tell me safe...... What a ?......."

Zhou Dan knew in his heart that Monday was the best intermediary in the Great Week, and he would never make something out of nothing.

Xiao Wu has always longed for freedom, and now she is like a bird breaking free from its cage, flying in the vast world, and there is a heroic man who cares for her like a father, will she really fulfill her vow back?

At this moment, Zhou Dan was deeply suspicious.

Before, the information of "Manu cares, like a father and a couple" has made Zhou Dan eat a lot of flying vinegar, and he doesn't know the taste of food, and he almost loses sleep.

He is often in a trance, and always feels that he can see Xiao Wu and Manu hiding in a paradise, you and I are living a small life, the smile on Xiao Wu's face is bright and happy, and the eyes of Manu are shy and affectionate.

In the bleak night, Zhou Dan looked at the void and asked pitifully.

"Xiao Wu, since you ...... You can fall in love with someone else, why......? Brother Dan, what's wrong with me? My heart, why do you ...... Deliberately pretending not to be invisible? It's not fair to me!Xiao Wu, my heart is rubbed by you...... It's rotten......"

Zhou Dan was lonely and mournful.

He just didn't understand, obviously the two had the same interests, and Xiao Wu knew that he loved her, but why didn't he give himself a chance?

But Xiao Wu can let go and open her heart again, she can accept five or eight, and she can also accept a strange man who has known her for more than a month and doesn't know her origin, why can't she accept herself.

Why?

Zhou Dan felt a deep sense of frustration, holding his forehead with his hand, in pain.

Zhou Dan kept persuading himself that the intelligence was wrong, and he had been looking forward to it with new news.

Unexpectedly, I was looking forward to Xiao Wu's encounter with a tiger, and there was no news for a month.

"Xiao Wu, Zhen Xiao Wu, you ...... You must not have an accident, or I will ...... forever I won't forgive you......"
