Chapter 4: The Messenger of the Empire
Ji Zhiwei and Jiang Yi heard the scream, turned their heads to look, and a beautiful girl in a long white dress was standing in the corner in shock. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It's a fallen leaf, what's scared like this, come here. Jiang Yi said gently: "You came to see Brother Meiqiu." ”
Ji Zhiwei frowned and said, "Falling leaves, you are already a high-level warrior, why are you still so timid?"
Ji Luoye's little hand patted his chest, and said in shock: "A big white rat crawled over my feet and scared me to death." ”
Jiang Yi pulled Ji Luoye and said, "How can there be a white mouse, it won't be dazzling." ”
"Mother, I remembered that this little white thing was indeed not a mouse, and its tail was so big. Ji Luoye came back to his senses, spit out his fragrant tongue, ran in front and said, "I'll go to see if Brother Meiqiu has woken up." ”
Jiang Yi had long known that this was a pure white mink that followed Ji Meiqiu's side, and when he slept at night, the little mink was lying at the head of Ji Meiqiu's bed. It's just that she didn't understand why this little mink was so infatuated with Ji Meiqiu.
The little mink saved Ji Meiqiu, Jiang Yi loved the house and Wu, and was grateful to the little mink, so the little mink stayed by Ji Meiqiu's side. It's just that why Xiao Mink saved Ji Meiqiu, Jiang Yi never figured it out.
When Ji Zhiwei and Jiang Yi entered the bedroom, they saw Ji Meiqiu leaning against the head of the bed, her face pale, and her whole person's spirit looked weak.
Ji Luoye sat on the edge of the bed, holding a few fresh fruits in his hand, and was sending them to Ji Meiqiu's mouth.
"Little sister, bring me something to eat again. What kind of fruit is this, it's delicious. A faint smile appeared on Ji Meiqiu's face: "It's so late, aren't you going home yet?"
Ji Luoye Jiao smiled: "It seems that Brother Meiqiu really doesn't know me anymore, and the tone of his speech has changed, he used to call me little sister, but now he changes to little sister, and he wants me to go home, it's so funny." ”
Ji Zhiwei walked to the bed and said, "Meiqiu, are you better?"
Ji Meiqiu leaned into the bed, but her body did not move, and her eyes were full of doubts when she looked at Jiang Yi.
"This child doesn't even know his father anymore. Jiang Yi sighed: "Qiu'er, have you really forgotten anything?"
Ji Meiqiu nodded and said softly: "I seem to have had a dream that I was flying in the sky, and then I don't remember anything." ”
"Think about it carefully, can you recall anything?" Ji Zhiwei stared at Ji Meiqiu tightly, and said expectantly: "For example, what do you usually like to eat?
Ji Meiqiu fell into deep thought, suddenly hugged her head, and a painful look appeared on her face.
Ji Luoye was so frightened that he hugged Ji Meiqiu: "Third brother, what's wrong with you, don't scare me." ”
Jiang Yi glared at Ji Zhiwei dissatisfied, and also sat on the edge of the bed, stroked Ji Meiqiu's bald head and said, "Don't listen to your father, rest well." ”
Ji Meiqiu's injuries were not serious, mainly burns. The burn medicine in the palace was effective, and several major injuries to the head and chest had been scarred.
Ji Zhiwei sighed and silently returned to the imperial study.
Ji Meiqiu became stupid, and the chain of eighteen docks was wiped out, but it didn't make much trouble in the Burning Flame Kingdom, and everything in Rongcheng didn't seem to have happened.
Half a month later, Ji Zhiwei returned to the imperial study after dispersing, and Ji Zhiping floated in quietly like a tanuki, and whispered: "Big brother, the empire has a guest, it is Zhao Defang, the king of the eight sages." ”
"Eight Sages King Zhao Defang?" Ji Zhiwei stood up abruptly and said, "He is the leader of the Divine Dragon Guard, and he never leaves Bianjing easily, how could he come to Rongcheng." ”
Ji Zhi said calmly: "There are not many followers, it doesn't look like there is anything big." Shall we go to Jin and meet the Eight Sages King tonight?"
Ji Zhiwei shook his head and said, "If we need to see us, the messenger of the Eight Sages King would have come to the palace a long time ago. Let's wait and see what happens, whether it's a blessing or a curse, and a curse that can't be avoided. The Eight Sages King is fair, he has been in charge of the Shenlongwei for hundreds of years, and he rarely harms his subordinates, so we haven't done anything out of the ordinary, so we can rest assured. ”
In the most luxurious pillow restaurant in Rongcheng, several people chartered the most secluded courtyard of the restaurant. A middle-aged man with an elegant bearing sat in the middle of the living room, and a few black-clothed people standing next to him did not dare to come out.
The middle-aged man was peaceful, but the faint coercion he exuded flowed through the room like substance.
A butterfly flew into the room from the window, as if intruding into the hot air current, struggled a few times, and fell on the windowsill.
"You arrived a day early, did you find out anything abnormal?" Zhao Defang said slowly: "Whether it is a private or an official family, if there is any abnormality, you have to talk about it in detail." ”
The man in black at the head said: "General, the people have not found anything abnormal, and there is a brother who is looking for a baby born half a month ago." It's just that the news of a fire in the harem came out of the palace, and then the king drove the royal expedition and extinguished the chain of eighteen docks entrenched in Quanhu. ”
"Eighteen docks in a row, isn't this the peripheral force of the merchant?" Zhao Defang said in surprise: "Ji Zhiwei acquiesced to his two sons and established peripheral forces separately, how could he suddenly destroy one of them?
The leader of the men in black said: "At the Lantern Festival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the third prince of Lieyan was kidnapped, perhaps the king of Lieyan suspects that it was done by the eighteen docks in a row. ”
"No, maybe, it must have been done by Eighteen Docks, Ji Zhiwei is not a reckless person. Zhao Defang said with a lazy expression: "Tomorrow morning, you take my post to the palace to see Ji Zhiwei, and ask him to see me later." ”
The leader said respectfully: "Yes, please rest early, and my subordinates will go to walk around Rongcheng." ”
Zhao Defang suddenly said: "Slow, Ji Zhiwei is not an ordinary little king, tell him tomorrow that at ten o'clock in the morning, I will go to his palace." ”
The next morning, before the deliberations began, Ji Zhiping hurriedly entered the main hall and leaned into Ji Zhiwei's ear to say a few words, Ji Zhiwei said calmly: "Please come in, no, please go to the imperial study." Then he said to the Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs, who was standing in two shifts: "All the ministers are waiting here. ”
The leader of the men in black saw Ji Zhiwei in the imperial study, respectfully handed over Zhao Defang's post, and told Ji Zhiwei what Zhao Defang meant. After Ji Zhiwei also respectfully sent the leader of the men in black out, he called Jian Qingjing and Pi Dingbang to the study.
Not long after, Jian Qingjing and Pi Dingbang came to the Pillow Restaurant with the royal carriage. Zhao Defang smiled and said to the people around him: "Ji Zhiwei is very interesting, let's go out, don't make too much noise." ”
The shopkeeper of the Pillow Restaurant, a delicate young woman, saw the royal carriage coming in the direction of the restaurant, and hurriedly ran out of the store to greet her, but the guests who had only stayed in the previous night passed by her, and when the carriage stopped, they happened to be standing next to the carriage.
The young woman looked at Jian Qingjing and Pi Dingbang in surprise, and respectfully opened the car door for the elegant middle-aged man, but she stood by her side.
The carriage was far away, and the young woman's sexy little mouth hadn't closed for a long time: My God, what big man has come to the kingdom and needs to be escorted by the prime minister and the generalissimo in person?
Ji Zhiwei was waiting at the door of the imperial study, and when he saw Zhao Defang getting down from the carriage, he immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Little King Ji Zhiwei, meet the Eight Sages King." ”
Everyone in the palace saw Ji Zhiwei kneeling, and Hulala knelt down in a large area.
Zhao Defang took a few steps, picked up Ji Zhiwei and said, "King Lieyan, please get up, we are kings in the same empire, and we don't need a big gift." ”
The two entered the study, Zhao Defang sat on the top, took out a brocade box, and said with a solemn expression: "Emperor Taizu said: King Lieyan guards the southwest of the empire, rejects the barbarians in the west and the demon beasts in the south, and is a meritorious hero of the empire. ”
Ji Zhiwei knelt down again, raised his hands above his head, took the brocade box in Zhao Defang's hand, and said as if singing: "Emperor Xie Taizu's gift." ”
Dipin elixir, the treasure of martial arts cultivation, Ji Zhiwei's face was flushed with excitement. Last night, in order to seek the color pattern pill, he almost turned his face with the worship in the secret realm, and today Zhao Defang sent one, Ji Zhiwei was not happy.
After inquiring about the basic situation of the Burning Flame Kingdom, Zhao Defang turned the topic to the fire in the palace, and Ji Zhiwei knew that Zhao Defang came to the Burning Flame Kingdom for the purpose.
Although he wondered in his heart, Ji Zhiwei still told Zhao Defang in detail what had happened in the past few days, including the abnormalities that had happened to Ji Meiqiu.
This is the cleverness of Ji Zhiwei, he knows that Shenlongwei is pervasive, and it is better to be honest than to be informed by them from other sources.
Sure enough, Zhao Defang was very interested in Ji Meiqiu's abnormality, and did not avoid suspicion and followed Ji Zhiwei to the queen's bedroom, and Ji Meiqiu's reaction frightened Ji Zhiwei into a cold sweat.
