Chapter 32: Dig a hole and jump by yourself! (Third update)

After a long time, Ji Chao looked up with a difficult face.

"Is there any other way to ask him? Now the day of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is getting closer and closer. Many personnel have been arranged, so it is impossible for the father to change the order!"

The ceremony of worshiping heaven is a major event, and the royal family attaches great importance to it.

There are extremely strict time requirements for when to perform the high ceremony and when to offer incense. It is almost impossible to suddenly change the time.

"This... Your Highness, the demon cultivator actually said a method, but the risk is extremely great! You must not try it rashly."

Qin Shou bowed very low this time.

"What's the way? Let's talk about it!"

Ji Chao was already anxious, and he was suddenly a little angry when he saw Qin Shou still being kept in a silence.

"Your Highness... the demon cultivator said that if he could send all the Jiuzhou Cauldrons in the Taimiao out of Zhoudu before sacrifice to heaven, Zhoudu's fortune would be reduced. The suppression of the demon cultivators was not as powerful as before, and he could improve to a small realm."

Qin Shou looked around and said when he saw that there was no outsider.

A small realm may not be very important for a low-level Qi Refiner, but for big men above the God Dislocation Stage, the difference between a small realm is a world of difference.

Especially in the early stage of the tribulation and the peak of the divine division stage, the former can completely crush the latter.

"Send all the Jiuzhou Dings out of Zhoudu?"

Ji Chao was silent.

He now has two Jiuzhou Dings in his hand, three were placed on the Taimiao side, one was handed over to Mo Di, and the other three were obtained by the third prince.

It’s so scattered, how easy is it to send all the Nine Dings out of Zhoudu?

The two in his hand are so easy to say... What should I do if the rest are there?

Especially the three masters in the Taimiao, even if they were given ten courage, they would not dare to move!

"Your Highness, the demon cultivator said that this is the only way to do it at the moment."

"I will think about it!"

Ji Chao took a deep breath and began to pace again.

what to do?

If he doesn't act, he can only watch Ji Meng seize the position of crown prince and then he is deeply suppressed, and in the end he may not be able to save his life.

But when you act... there are many problems!

After half a stick of incense, Ji Chao spoke again.

"Will the demon cultivator come to the mansion later today? Let's talk about it in detail then. Maybe there are other ways?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

............

At the same time, the palace and imperial study room lingered in fragrance,

The old slave in red has arrived in front of the emperor Ji Gui.

"How is the matter done in Qing's family?"

When Ji Gui saw the visitor, he hurriedly put down the cinnabar pen in his hand, and the guards on standby outside the door brought the seat, which showed his reliance on the old slave in red.

"You have reported to the King, your decree to the Fourth Prince has been sent to Hangu Pass."

With a bow, Emiya replied as usual.

"What's the situation in Hangu? How did Ji Nan respond? Has he become a puppet in Qin?"

Ji Gui nodded and asked again.

In recent days, the doctor in charge of Zhoudu’s money and grain has been constantly making memorials, saying that Zhoudu’s rice and money are becoming increasingly scarce. If there is no new grain supplement, even if the tributes of various princes are included, they can only last for another three months.

Therefore, more than 10,000 stones of food must be transported back to Zhoudu, and no mistake can be made.

"King, the situation in Hangu is not good. Since the pass was destroyed by Qin, the fourth prince was unable to build it... It is still in dilapidated now, and finally a few houses were temporarily built!"

Emiya's answer was extremely smooth.

That's right... He didn't arrive in Hangu this time, but it did not hinder his guess about Hangu.

The things he made up felt like he had seen with his own eyes.

"oh?"

"But don't worry, judging from the current situation, the Fourth Prince has not become a puppet of Qin, and Qin does not dare to make any other moves before the Heaven Sacrifice Hall!"

"That's good!"

Ji Gui breathed a sigh of relief.

Emiya is one of his most trusted confidants, and there should be no problem with him doing things.

"How did Jinan respond?"

"King, the Fourth Highness said that he would definitely find a way to transport the 12,000 stone of grain and 3,000 s of copper coins to Zhoudu before the Heaven Sacrifice Hall."

"It's pretty clear!"

Ji Gui's heart was finally relieved.

In fact, theoretically, his "son" has been awarded the title, and he is the kind of person who is obedient to Zhou Du and not to Xuan. If he insists on not giving the gift there, Zhou Du will not take any action.

"By the way, how is Ji Nan's health? Has that miracle doctor arrived in Hangu?"

"King, I'm about to report this to the king. The team escorting the miracle doctor had some accidents halfway through. The miracle doctor was attacked by wild beasts and disappeared!"

Emiya's body was getting lower and lower.

"What? The miracle doctor was attacked by wild beasts?"

Ji Gui was shocked and furious immediately.

"Are the guards all waste? They can actually make beasts..."

"The king calms down, but there is still good news... When the old slave saw the Fourth Prince, although the Fourth Prince's physical condition became worse and worse, his breath was smooth. His life should be safe before the Heaven Sacrifice Hall."

"Oh? That's good. But this guard must be punished!"

Ji Gui's emotions calmed down slightly.

He was not worried about Ji Nan's life or death, but what he really worried about was the ten thousand stones of food.

"Yes, the king, the old slave has sent people to detain them all."

"Um!"

"By the way... 10,000 stones of grain is not a small amount. With Ji Nan's current strength, it may take a lot of effort to transport it to Zhou. Why not go there again and escort the grain back in person?"

After thinking about it, Ji Gui was still a little worried and made arrangements immediately.

"ah....."

As soon as he heard this, Weigong was stunned.

He was unable to enter Hangu when he was proclaimed before. Isn’t it a typical case of seeking death when he went to plagiarize grain now?

Who knows if the weird Baiwu Mountain area is still there!

He immediately replied,

"Your Majesty, now it's more than a month since the Heaven Sacrifice Hall, and some princes have arrived in Zhoudu one after another. Things are complicated here. Once the old slave leaves... I'm afraid... and the old slave is also arranged by the great ceremony for Heaven Sacrifice..."

"That's true!"

Ji Gui frowned.

After saying this, it seems that Emiya really can't go to Hangu to protect the grain.

"If the Keqing family doesn't go, there will be no reliable people in Zhoudu!"

"Master, I recommend one person. If the king sends him there, he will be able to transport ten thousand stones of grain from Hangu back to my Zhoudu safely."

Emiya subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

I don't know if it's nervous or glad.

"Oh? Do you think anyone in the Chinese military in the court can take on this important task?"

Ji Gui frowned.

Although there are many civil and military officials in the court, because of the internal struggle between the second prince and the third prince and the actions of various princes, the ministers are different in their minds and few are reliable.

"King, Li Dan, the divine history in prison, can take on this great task."

When Emiya heard that Ji Gui was struggling with the candidate, he thought about it before speaking.

"Li Dan? He?"

Ji Gui was stunned.

He really didn't expect Emiya to recommend this person.
