Chapter 45: Captivity
In front of the bed stood two men, a woman with a scepter and a veil, and a man with a face that resembled him.
The woman who wants to come to this veil is the wizard of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the one next to her is Ji Yan who wants to kill the eldest prince.
"Son-in-law, see father!"
"Big brother is really interested, this disappearance is two months!" Ji Yan looked at Su Yan with a sarcastic expression.
"The second brother laughed, and I don't know why, two months ago, I went to run an errand for my father, and on the way back, a group of black-clothed people came out of nowhere and were taken into a forest. Su Yan explained neither humbly nor arrogantly.
The Son of Heaven, who was lying on the bed, sat up with the support of the eunuch, "Ahem... Now that I'm back, I'll put off the errand in my hand and rest in the house for a while, after all, it's hard to run errands. ”
He didn't mention the robbery of the man in black at all, although this matter was written and acted by Su Yan himself, and it was just an excuse for him, but looking at the attitude of the Son of Heaven, he had been blacklisted by him, and only Ji Yan could inherit the position of the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven is also complicated in his heart, since ancient times, he has not much ambition, but he has been kind and generous since he was a child, and he has no determination to expand his territory, but it is more than enough to be the master of the city.
It's just that this dynasty has been inherited for a hundred years, and the six countries below seem to live in harmony on the surface, but secretly they don't know how many soldiers and horses are hidden, and they all want to be the son of heaven.
Besides, the second emperor has the support of a wizard, and the wizard is the guardian of the dynasty, since he can get her support, it will definitely not be wrong, he has little time now, and he can only do this.
"No!" As soon as he came back, he was seized of power, which is naturally indispensable to Ji Yan and the wizard.
He can only respond first, and then think of a way later. Thinking like this, he walked out of the Son of Heaven's bedroom.
As soon as he came out, the little eunuch hurried over, saying that the queen had asked him to come over for dinner, and he knew that this dinner was just a cover.
And when the wizard on the other side saw Su Yan leaving, she didn't stay long, she left the dormitory, disappeared in the blink of an eye, and when her figure appeared again, she had already arrived at an underground palace.
The palace was cleverly built, with a thick amount of lava flowing from below, and the breath alone was enough to burn mortals to ashes.
However, she walked in as if she were on the ground, and came to a large hall of fiery red, and in the hall there was a high platform, and on the high platform stood a woman in purple clothes, who also covered her face with a veil.
There was a furnace in front of her, and there was a hole in the bottom of the furnace, and a raging fire came out of it that burned the whole furnace.
"Haven't you woken up yet?" the wizard asked. Her voice was like a snowflake drifting in winter, mixed with coolness.
The woman on the high platform shook her head and said softly, "His injuries are too serious, it may take some time!"
"Is there no other way?"
"Xi, don't worry, you've been waiting for millions of years, and there's no need to rush for a while!" The woman's voice on the high platform was as soft as ever, and her voice seemed to be able to soothe all the irritability in this world.
The sorcerer who called Xi walked up to the high platform, pinched out a trick in his hand, and the lid of the furnace was instantly opened, and a man floated out of it, dressed in a fiery red robe, lying quietly, as if he was asleep.
His countenance was like a raging fire burning under the furnace, flamboyant and unscrupulous.
"Sheng, how's your situation over there?"
"The forces have infiltrated, but I still can't find that thing. ”
"Otherwise, I'll watch over here, you go over there!"
"Not really, the one we need is here?"
"It's coming, but she doesn't remember everything she used to have, and her abilities are gone. Xi said with a little regret.
Sheng pondered for a moment, "There's nothing to regret about this, after all, this place is set to prevent violent destruction." ”
"That's right, by the way, I just came from the palace, why did Ji Yan come back?"
"What? he's back?" Sheng asked in surprise.
"Yes, I've seen it with my own eyes! and, it doesn't seem to be the same!" replied Yuki affirmatively.
Sheng pinched the trick and returned the man to his place, "I'll take a look!"
Xi naturally followed, the two disappeared in place in an instant, and soon, their figures appeared in a mountain forest, the two walked all the way, came to a mountain wall, she pinched a trick in her hand, the brilliance flashed, and a light door appeared.
The two walked in, it was a long passage, and they walked for a long time until they reached the end, at the end of which was a circular square, surrounded by a thousand doors, and they did not hesitate to enter one door.
It was like a world of water, and when they came in, they were surrounded by a barrier that blocked the water out.
After a while, I saw a man locked in the water from a distance, his limbs bound by thick chains, and around him there were thirty-six pillars, and the pillars were carved with various kinds of runes, as if to suppress something.
"Who is the one in the palace?" Seeing this scene, Xi was even more puzzled. Ji Yan was obviously brought here by him.
"This?" Xi didn't understand, Sheng was naturally even more puzzled.
"Ahem, what are you going to do?" Ji Yan, who was trapped in the water, woke up from his coma.
"What are you going to do, it's not up to you!" Xi looked at him and said coldly.
"You can kill me, please don't hurt innocent lives. His appearance was no different from Su Yan, he had been trapped here for a long time, and his face was pale.
Compared with Su Yan's gentle appearance, there is a restrained sharpness hidden under him, and he is like a gentle piece of jade, there is a kind of magic in him, but everyone who is close to him wants to be close to him, as if he exudes this kind and gentle atmosphere from his bones.
"Hmph, you still care about your life first!" Xi opened her mouth and sarcastically said.
"You can do whatever you want, don't hurt the innocent!" he pleaded again. From the moment he was born, he knew that while he enjoyed the glory and wealth, he also shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the people of the world.
So even if he is a prisoner at the moment, he has to do his part to protect everyone.
Xi didn't bother to pay attention to this ridiculous man, and the two got out of the water prison and were silent all the way, when they returned to the underground palace at one time. She said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid this matter is uncertain!"
"In this way, you should first find out what his origin is, and we will make a decision, so there will not be much error. Sheng said in a deep voice.
"That's fine!"
On the other side, Su Yan was invited to the queen's bedroom again, because it was time for dinner, and the table was full of all kinds of delicacies.
"Yan'er, come and taste it, I haven't seen you for two months, I'm hungry and thin!" the queen looked at Su Yan and said with concern.
Su Yan didn't see this meal but was not hungry, but this look aroused the desire to eat whole grains.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
"How about meeting your father today?"
He put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Father and Emperor have relieved him of his son's duties!"
The queen's face was all over again, was she going to do it so soon?
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"What are Yan'er's plans?"
"Let's wait and see, wizards are not easy to deal with!" He had no interest in the rights of this mortal, and he was able to pretend to be this eldest prince only for the sake of his legitimate identity and convenience. It doesn't matter who is the son of heaven.
"Your father's body is getting worse and worse, Yan'er must be ready!" she couldn't help but be a little anxious, her son had the world in his heart, but he was the only one who lacked calculations.
If the second child is the son of heaven, is there still a way for their mother and son to live in this world?
Su Yan dealt with the queen here, and the second son, Ji Yan, stayed by the bedside of the Son of Heaven.
"I don't know what my father and the emperor have to tell you?"
"Ash, how has the wizard been doing lately? Even though she's supporting you, she can't help it. ”
"She asked her son to find a crystal bead, but she didn't know what it was!"
The Son of Heaven's dead gray eyes crossed a hint of clarity, he could probably guess what she wanted, but this thing must not be given!
"Ahem, ahem, you go get a dagger and give it to your father!"
"No!"
Ji Yan quickly brought the dagger and handed it to the Son of Heaven, who lifted the sleeve of his left arm and slashed the dagger at his crumpled forearm.
"Father!" Ji Ember shouted anxiously, he didn't understand what his father was going to do!
The Son of Heaven gave a slightly calm look, and after he slashed once, he slashed several more times one after another, but no blood flowed out, but as if a box had been opened.
When the 'box' was opened, a brilliant light appeared from inside, and he reached out and took out a crystal-like thing from inside, and there was a silvery-white thing like quicksand swimming in it.
"This, you take it, remember, you must not give it to her!" he said solemnly.
"Is this what she wants?"
The Son of Heaven stretched out his hand to smooth the skin on his arm, as if it had never happened. "That's right, that's what they're willing to be guardians want, and they've always wanted this thing. Ember you put this out of your arm, and it will automatically form a space that no one will want to find unless you want to!"
"What the hell is this?"
"I don't know, but you must not let her take it! Once she takes it, the whole world may face an irreversible disaster!" Because of this, he chose his second son to inherit the position of the Son of Heaven, although the eldest son is good, but in the end he is soft-hearted, and he can't suppress the wizard at all!
"Father, don't worry, your son will definitely live up to your trust!"
"I'm afraid that time is running out for my father, if you do this day, I will leave your eldest brother alive. Let it go to the southernmost part and seal up a piece of land. Be a king!"
"No!" he and his eldest brother actually don't have much grudges, and it doesn't hurt to leave a life, I hope he is interesting!
