Chapter 748 Missing
A slender reed pole is connected to the wrists of Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji.The two ends of the reed were sharpened and pierced into the blood vessels of the two of them respectively. Zhu Zhanji sat there cross-legged, with his wrists slightly higher, and the bright red blood passed through the hollow reed and poured into Zhu Di's body from his body. Blood vessel.

Monk Xinyu pressed Zhu Zhanji's blood vessels with his fingers, controlling the speed of blood flow.Everyone in the reeds remained silent, for fear of affecting the witchcraft treatment.

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

Seeing the obvious blood on Zhu Di's face, the pale Zhu Zhanji heaved a sigh of relief. "Did you make it?"

"It's okay until dawn, it should be a success." Monk Xinyu said softly.

"Okay..." Zhu Zhanji lay down all of a sudden, he felt a little dizzy, which should be a sign of excessive blood loss.

"Sleep for a while." Wang Xian covered him with the cloak, "I call you if there is any situation."

Zhu Zhanji was also really tired, nodded slightly, and then got confused.At first he was still sleeping very restlessly, his hands and feet kept thrashing, obviously he was having a nightmare, Monk Xinyu took out the silver needle and gave him a few needles, His Highness Taisun didn't move at all...

"Are you still alive?" Wang Xian looked at Zhu Zhanji worriedly, and he was relieved when he saw his nostrils fluttering slightly, and sat down on the reed pile.

Xianyun handed over the water bag, Wang Xian took a few sips from the cow, wiped his mouth with his cuff, and said with a long sigh of relief: "I'm exhausted..." Can he not be tired?I came to the capital within three days, and I have been worrying all the time, all supported by one breath.As soon as he relaxed, the heavy tiredness flooded into every pore of his body.

Xianyun handed over another piece of bread, as he couldn't light a fire right now, so he had to eat dry food to satisfy his hunger.Wang Xian shook his head, really lost his appetite.

"Are you worried?" After all, how many years have been brothers, Xianyun knew what he was thinking, and lowered his voice, "won't the emperor wake up?"

Wang Xian nodded slowly, and said in a low voice: "I have calculated that if the emperor is gone, the prince and grandson will have no chance of winning." He sighed and said: "Our time in Daming will be over."

"No." Xianyun said lightly.

"how do you know?"

"My grandfather calculated it for the emperor," Xian Yun said in a low voice, "This year there will be bloody disasters, but they can be turned into good luck."

"Hehe..." Wang Xian laughed dryly.After being baptized by the old monk, he is obviously completely immune to these nagging things.

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

"Okay, okay." Wang Xian nodded perfunctorily, closed his eyes and said, "I'll stare for a while." The next moment he opened his eyes again, and said to the Xinyu monk who was holding a silver needle, "Don't give me the needle!"

Monk Xinyu smacked his lips, obviously disappointed.

Wang Xian was also extremely tired, and started snoring in a blink of an eye, but when he fell asleep, he had nightmares like Zhu Zhanji. He either dreamed that Zhu Di was dead, or that Zhenjiang City was broken, or that his family was killed. The King of Han captured...

Seeing his painful nightmare, Monk Xinyu looked at the needle in his hand, gestured a few times and then put it down.Because he saw Xian Yun slash at the back of Wang Xian's neck, knocking him unconscious...

"Anyone who doubts my Emperor Zhenwu deserves to die!" Xian Yun withdrew his hand viciously.

Xinyu stared at Xianyun dumbfounded, Xianyun glared at him, and monk Xinyu immediately bowed his head obediently.

Completely quiet in the reeds...

.

Since it is a royal hunting ground, of course there will be places for emperors and princes to rest and feast.The palace of Nanhaizi was built on the highest point. It was originally the Yingying Terrace of the Meng and Yuan Dynasties. Zhu Di expanded the halls and palaces on the basis of the previous dynasty, built a rockery garden, and turned it into the Nanhaizi Palace.

At this moment, the sun is setting on the western mountain, and the princes and nobles from all walks of life have returned with a full load.The grand banquet should have been prepared in the palace long ago. The princes and nobles washed off the dust, put on casual robes, and whispered at the gate of the palace, waiting for the return of the emperor, grandson, and King Zhao.

"It's getting dark now." Marquis of Taining Chen Gui asked a little strangely, "Why hasn't the emperor come back yet?" He had accompanied Zhu Di to hunt a lot, and every time the emperor would stop at nothing and return early.This time everyone came back, but the emperor has not yet returned, which has never been seen before.

"Hmm..." Guangping Marquis Yuan Rong said, "Maybe he was happy playing with his grandson. He should be back soon."

Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu, frowned and remained silent.

"Hey, I'm talking about the sixth child." Chen Gui noticed his strangeness and asked, "Why are you frowning?"

"Stomach hurts!" Xue Lu muffled and perfunctory, but his heart was beating secretly.Yuan Rong is in charge of the defense this time, and he can't get in the way.But as the general leader of the Beijing Forbidden Army, he can always learn about some mobilization situations.Just through the news of the scaly claw, he felt something strange.Although these anomalies could be explained by various reasons, they made him feel deeply uneasy when they were superimposed together.

'When the emperor comes back, he must report it. Xue Lu secretly made up his mind.At this time, I heard someone cheering: "I'm back!"

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

When the team approached, Xue Lu and others discovered that it was not the emperor and grandson, but the king of Zhao.

Seeing the frost on Zhao Wang's and his party's faces, the hearts of everyone who had just let go were suspended again.

"My lord, what happened?" Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong asked anxiously.

"The emperor and grandson," Zhao Wang hesitated, and said with great difficulty: "Missing, missing..."

"Ah!" The crowd roared with thunder, and immediately exploded: "How is it possible?!" "What are the guards doing?" "Hurry up and find them!"

"That's right, I can't get out of Nanhaizi anyway, so let's split up and look for it!" All the princes and princes dispersed immediately, and each went to lead the army on horseback, preparing to look for the emperor overnight.

The ones who didn't move at this time were Xia Yuanji, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi and other civil servants. It wasn't that they could hold their breath, but they couldn't help even if they wanted to.The three cabinet ministers looked at each other, and they all saw horror in each other's eyes!
"My lord!" Jin Youzi walked up to King Zhao and asked softly, "How did the emperor disappear?"

"Let him tell you!" Zhao Wangyi pointed to Zhou Laoliu, Jin Youzi and other emperor's close ministers behind him who looked ashen, and naturally recognized him as the emperor's personal bodyguard.

Zhou Laoliu was dejected, and told the story of how the emperor and the grandson raced horses and how they got lost.

"So," Jin Youzi frowned, "The emperor disappeared this morning?!"

"Yes." Zhou Laoliu nodded and said, "It's not yet noon."

"Then why didn't you report it earlier?" Jin Youzi sternly said, "How serious are the consequences if you delay for a long time?!"

"The villain has reported..." Zhou Laoliu whispered.

"Who did you report to?"

"His Royal Highness King Zhao..."

At this moment, those honorable military generals have brought people back and returned, and they are calmer now.There was such a large group of people, all eyes fell on King Zhao.

"That's right." Zhao Wang nodded calmly: "At noon, I ran into a few of them and told me that the emperor and grandson's race horses were missing. I didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that the emperor and the grandson were missing. Taisun deliberately threw them away, just for the fun of it. So he didn't say anything, so he led them to look around." He sighed and said, "Who knows that the evening is gone, so I feel bad, come back to move reinforcements , let’s cast a net and look for it.”

"Then hurry up!" Xue Lu said with a sullen face, and was about to get on his horse and set off.

"Wait!" Yuan Rong, Marquis of Guangping, stopped him, "The Nanhaizi has a radius of more than 120 li, and it will be dark soon. If we search like this, it may be in vain."

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

"What I mean is, we need to have a charter for who will search which section and how many people will be employed in which section," Yuan Rong said, "It all needs to be planned and commanded in a unified way."

"That makes sense." Everyone nodded and said, "Then let's plan."

"Who will unify the command?" Chen Gui asked.

"Of course it's the prince." Yuan Rong said as a matter of course: "Please give the order to the prince."

When he did this, others couldn't say anything, so they all nodded and said: "My lord, give the order."

Xue Lu and several civil servants felt that something was wrong, but Zhao Wang did his part, and immediately agreed: "Okay! On the way back, I already have a draft. Let's distribute it like this..."

Immediately afterwards, King Zhao began to assign them one by one, and Xue Lu and the others had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.

After receiving the order, everyone set off one by one.But in the end, Xue Lu didn't hear his name, and Chen Gui and the others who hadn't been called stood there alone.

"My lord," Chen Gui asked, "What are we doing?"

"Oh, those of you who are already old, don't go out if you don't know what to do." Zhao Wang smiled slightly: "Besides, if the emperor comes back, someone must be guarded."

"Hmm..." Xue Lu and Chen Gui fell silent.Seeing that King Zhao also took people out, Chen Gui tightly cloaked and said, "Go in and wait, it's really cold outside."

Xue Lu nodded, but didn't move his feet. His eyes, like copper bells, shone with uncertainty.

"Master Hou," Yang Rong came over and said to Xue Lu in a low voice, "This matter is not very proper today."

"Oh?" Xue Lu looked at Yang Rong, squinted his eyes and said, "What's your opinion, Little Bachelor Yang?"

"Accordingly, King Zhao searched around outside, and the first thing he said when he came back," Yang Rong said quietly, "It should be that the emperor has come back yet?"

"He's talking about..." Xue Lu's eyes shot brightly, "The emperor is missing!"

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

"Maybe it's..." Xue Lu thought about it and said, "Has he been seen by someone?"

"Even if people have seen it, it was before." Yang Rong shook his head and said, "He shouldn't have said that when he came back."

"It makes sense." Xue Lu's eyes turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I just felt that today's matter is very strange!" He said in a deep voice, "Why did you teach me, sir?"

"Follow him." Yang Rong said in a low voice: "At a time like this, you have to rely on the old Hou Ye to suppress those monsters!"
