A slender reed pole connected Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji's wrists. The two ends of the reed were sharpened and pierced into the veins of the two of them, Zhu Zhanji sat there cross-legged, the position of his wrist was slightly higher, and the bright red blood passed through the hollow reed rod, from his body, into Zhu Di's blood vessels.

Monk Xinyu's fingers pressed against Zhu Zhanji's blood vessels, controlling the speed of blood flow. Everyone in the reeds was silent, lest it affect the witchcraft-like healing.

When the sun was setting in the west, the monk Xinyu pulled out the reed pole and asked Zhu Zhanji to hold down the bleeding opening, and he turned around to stop the bleeding for Zhu Di.

Seeing that Zhu Di's face was obviously bloody, Zhu Zhanji, who was pale, breathed a sigh of relief. "Did it work?"

"It's okay by dawn, it should be successful." Monk Xinyu said softly.

"Okay......" Zhu Zhanji lay down suddenly, he felt a little dizzy, it should be the expression of excessive blood loss.

"Let's sleep." Wang Xian put the cloak over him, "What's the situation calling you?" ”

Zhu Zhanji was really tired, nodded slightly, and then passed in a daze. At first, he was still sleeping very unsteadily, his hands and feet were constantly fluttering, obviously he was having a nightmare, the monk Xinyu took out a silver needle, pricked him a few needles, and His Royal Highness Taisun did not move......

"Still angry?" Wang Xian looked at Zhu Zhanji worriedly, until he saw his nose moving slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the reed stack.

Xianyun handed over the water bladder, Wang Xian took a few sips of the cow, wiped his mouth with his cuffs, and said with a long sigh of relief: "But I'm tired to death...... "Can he not be tired?" I came to the capital within three days, and I was worried all the time, and I was all supported by one breath. As soon as I was relieved, the heavy tiredness poured into every pore of my body.

Xianyun handed over another piece of bread, and at the moment he couldn't make a fire, so he could only use dry food to satisfy his hunger. Wang Xian shook his head, he really had no appetite.

"Are you worried," after all, how many years have you been a brother, Xianyun knew what he was thinking, and lowered his voice and said, "The emperor can't wake up?" ”

Wang Xian nodded slowly, and said in a low voice: "I have calculated, if there is no emperor, the crown prince and grandson will have no chance of winning at all," he said with a sigh and said: "Our days in Daming will come to an end." ”

"No, it won't." Xianyun said lightly.

"How do you know?"

"My grandfather calculated it for the emperor," Xianyun whispered: "There is a bloody disaster this year, but it can turn evil into good fortune." ”

"Hehe......" Wang Xian laughed dryly. After experiencing the baptism of the old monk, he was obviously completely immune to these things that the gods were talking about.

"If you don't believe it, just wait and see." Seeing that he didn't believe it, Xianyun said depressedly: "My Zhenwu Emperor's hexagram is absolutely effective!" ”

"Good, good." Wang Xian nodded perfunctorily, closed his eyes and said, "I'll squint for a while." The next moment, he opened his eyes again and said to the Xinyu monk holding the silver needle: "Don't give me a needle!" ”

Monk Xinyu smacked his lips, obviously a little disappointed.

Wang Xian was also very tired, and he snored in a blink of an eye, but as soon as he fell asleep, he had nightmares like Zhu Zhanji, either dreaming that Zhu Di was dead, or dreaming that Zhenjiang City was broken, and dreaming that his family was arrested by King Han......

Looking at his nightmarish and painful appearance, Monk Xinyu looked at the needle in his hand, gestured a few times and then put it down. Because he saw Xianyun slash at the back of Wang Xian's neck with a palm, and directly knocked him unconscious......

"Anyone who doubts my True Martial Emperor deserves to die!" Xianyun withdrew his hand viciously.

Xinyu looked at Xianyun dumbfounded, Xianyun glared at him, and Monk Xinyu immediately bowed his head honestly.

The reeds were completely quiet and .......

Since it is a royal hunting ground, of course there will be a place for the emperor and the prince to rest and feast. The palace of Nanhaizi, built in the highest place, was originally the eagle platform of Mengyuan, Zhu Di expanded the palace room on the basis of the previous dynasty, created a rockery garden, and turned this place into the Nanhaizi Palace.

At this moment, the sun is setting in the West Mountain, and the princes and nobles who are hunting from all walks of life have already returned with a full load. The palace should have been prepared for a grand banquet, the princes and nobles washed off the dust, changed into civilian robes, whispered at the gate of the palace, and waited for the emperor, the grandson, and the king of Zhao to return.

"It's getting dark." Taining Hou Chen Qi said a little strangely: "Why hasn't the emperor come back yet?" He accompanied Zhu Di to hunt a lot, and every time the emperor stopped and returned early. This time everyone has returned, but the emperor has not returned, and he has never appeared before.

"Well...... Yuan Rong, Marquis of Guangping, said: "Maybe it's fun to play with the grandson." Should be back soon. ”

Yangwu Marquis Xue Lu frowned and remained silent.

"Hey, I'm talking about the sixth," Chen Jue noticed his strange appearance and asked, "What are you frowning about?" ”

"Stomach aches!" Xue Lu's muffled voice was perfunctory, but he was secretly drumming in his heart. Yuan Rong was in charge of the defense this time, and he couldn't intervene. But as the head of the Beijing Forbidden Army, he can always learn about some transfers. Just by the news of the scaly claws, he sensed something unusual. Although these anomalies can explain the past for various reasons, they add up to make him feel deeply uneasy.

'When the emperor comes back, he must be clear. Xue Lu secretly decided. At this time, I heard someone cheering: "It's back!" ”

All the princes breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly lined up to meet the galloping group of men and horses.

When the team approached, Xue Lu and the others found out that it was not the emperor and the grandson, but King Zhao.

Seeing the frost on the faces of King Zhao and his party, everyone's hearts that had just been put down hung again.

"Lord Wang, what's going on?" Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong asked worriedly.

"The emperor and the grandson," King Zhao hesitated for a moment, and said with great difficulty: "Lost, traced, ......"

"Ahh Everyone called a five-thunder blast, and they blew up when they landed: "How is it possible?!" "What do the guards eat?" "Don't hurry up and find it!"

"That's it, you can't get out of Nanhaizi anyway, everyone hurry up and go separately to find it!" The princes dispersed in a hurry, and each went to ride a horse to lead the troops, preparing to look for the emperor overnight.

At this time, the people who didn't move, that is, Xia Yuanji, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi and other ministers, they couldn't calm down, but they couldn't help if they wanted to. The three ministers glanced at each other, and they all saw horror in each other's eyes!

"Lord Wang!" Jin Youzi walked up to King Zhao and asked softly, "How did the emperor disappear?" ”

"Let him tell you!" King Zhao pointed to Zhou Laoliu, Jin Youzi and other close ministers of the Son of Heaven who looked gray behind him, and naturally recognized him as the emperor's personal guard.

Zhou Laoliu hung his head and told the story of how the emperor and his grandson raced horses and how they got lost.

"So," Jin Youzi frowned, "The emperor disappeared in the morning?!" ”

"Yes." Zhou Lao Liu nodded and said, "It's not noon yet." ”

"Then why didn't you report it early?" Jin Youzi said sharply: "If you delay for a long time, how severe will the consequences be?!" ”

"The villain has reported ......," Zhou Lao Liu said in a low voice.

"Who did you report to whom?"

"His Royal Highness King Zhao......"

At this time, those noble generals have already returned with people, and they are calmer at this time. is a big nest of people, and their eyes are on King Zhao.

"Not bad." King Zhao nodded calmly: "At noon, this king ran into a few of them and told me that the emperor and the grandson couldn't find the horse. The king didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that the emperor and the grandson deliberately got rid of them, which was fun. So he didn't make a noise, so he took them around to look for them. Saying that, he sighed and said: "Who knew that there was no trace in the evening, so I felt bad, came back to move reinforcements, and everyone cast a net to look for it." ”

"Then hurry up!" Xue Lu had a gloomy face, and was about to get on the horse and set off.

"Wait!" Yuan Rong, the Marquis of Guangping, stopped: "This Nanhaizi is more than 120 miles in radius, and it will be dark right now, so let's search for it in such a swarm, I'm afraid it will be in vain." ”

"And what do you say?" Zhu Yong said in a deep voice.

"I mean, whoever searches which section, and how many people are used in which section, we have to have a charter," Yuan Rong said: "This has to be planned as a whole and commanded in a unified manner." ”

"Makes sense." Everyone nodded and said, "Then plan and plan." ”

"Who's going to take command?" Chen Qi asked.

"Of course it has to be the prince." Yuan Rong said as a matter of course: "Please give an order." ”

When he did this, others couldn't say anything, so they nodded and said, "The prince will give the order." ”

Xue Lu and several civil officials felt that something was wrong, but King Zhao did not give in, and immediately agreed: "Okay! On the way back from this king, there is already a manuscript, let's distribute it like this......"

Immediately afterwards, King Zhao began to distribute them one by one, and Xue Lu had no choice but to shut up.

When the people received the command, they set out one by one. But in the end, Xue Lu didn't hear his own name, and Chen Jue, who was not called, stood there alone.

"Lord Wang," Chen Qi asked, "What are we doing?" ”

"Oh, don't go out if you're old enough to be blinded by the lights." King Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Besides, if the emperor comes back, you have to leave someone to guard it." ”

"Well......" Xue Lu and Chen Qi were silent. Seeing that King Zhao also took people out, Chen Jue tightened his cloak and said, "Go in and wait, it's strange outside." ”

Xue Lu nodded, but he didn't move, his eyes like copper bells flashed with a look of surprise.

"Master Hou," Yang Rong walked over and whispered to Xue Lu, "This matter is not very authentic today." ”

"Oh?" Xue Lu looked at Yang Rong, narrowed his eyes and said, "What is the opinion of Bachelor Yang?" ”

"It is said that King Zhao looked around outside, and the first sentence after coming back," Yang Rong said quietly: "It should be that the emperor is back?" ”

"He's talking about ......" Xue Lu's eyes flashed out: "The emperor is missing!" ”

"Yes!" Yang Rong nodded and said, "How does he know that the emperor must not be in the palace?" ”

"Maybe it's ......" Xue Lu thought for a moment and said, "He let people come back to see it, right?" ”

"Even if people have seen it, it was a matter of the past," Yang Rong shook his head and said, "He still shouldn't say that when he comes back." ”

"Makes sense." Xue Lu's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I just feel that this matter is strange today!" He said in a deep voice, "Why did the gentleman teach me?" ”

"Keep up with him." Yang Rong said in a low voice: "At this time, you have to rely on the old marquis to suppress those ghosts!" ”
