"Sir, why did you call us here? Could it be that you have made a new dish for us to try?"
Cui Youyou was the first to rush into the kitchen, looking anxious, obviously afraid that he would miss the delicious new dishes if he came late.
Upon hearing his words, before Qin Shaoyou could speak, a tile on the kitchen roof fell down without any warning.
Cui Youyou noticed something strange immediately and wanted to dodge.
Originally, he could easily avoid it in this situation, but he tripped over something, and the tile hit his head with a bang.
Ordinarily, even if he didn't avoid it, since he has the spiritual power to protect his body, the tiles should be blown away.
But this time, his body-protecting spiritual power had no response.
Fortunately, they were just ordinary tiles, which did not hurt Cui Yougui, but only made him look disgraced and embarrassed.
Qin Shaoyou glanced at the statue of the Patriarch in the kitchen, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Senior Brother Cui, take care of your mouth, otherwise I'm really afraid that you won't be able to go back alive to see Master Zhang..."
Cui Youyou also looked at the statue of the Patriarch and wanted to say something. In the end, his reason overcame his impulse and he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Soon, Monk Ma and others also entered the kitchen.
And Zhu Xiucai, who had just captured a group of Black Lotus cult demons and returned to the Demon Suppression Division,
Zhu Xiucai originally wanted to report on his trip, but Qin Shaoyou waved his hand to stop him, telling him not to worry.
When everyone gathered, Qin Shaoyou first asked Cui Yougui to release the sound isolation technique, and then said: "The shadow demon is back, and it brought back a message... Sixiu is missing."
Immediately afterwards, he relayed to everyone what the shadow demon had just said.
After everyone heard this, they were all stunned.
Although they guessed that Emperor Jianwu was trying to kill Si Xiu, they did not expect that Emperor Jianwu would actually succeed.
Wasn't the Zongren Mansion built to be impregnable?
Whose golden soup was broken so easily?
After all, Marquis Dongchuan has managed to hold on for so long...
After Zhu Xiucai was shocked, he thought carefully for a moment and agreed with Qin Shaoyou's guess.
Although the group of people who attacked the Zongren Mansion were killed and captured, they left some unknown things in the Zongren Mansion.
It was these things that kidnapped Sixiu without the security forces in the clan's mansion being aware of it.
"Si Xiu is in danger right now, isn't it?" Monk Ma said anxiously.
Qin Shaoyou shook his head and expressed his judgment: "Before the big sacrifice, Si Xiu should still be alive. Judging from Emperor Jianwu's two actions before and after, he probably planned to sacrifice Si Xiu alive..."
Cui Youyi agreed with this: "Judging from the Black Lotus Sect's behavior, they do like living sacrifices. And the Black Lotus Sect was established by Emperor Jianwu, and the killing techniques they admired were probably the work of Emperor Jianwu.
The experimental product that came out. In order to please the mad god, it is indeed very possible to sacrifice a living creature to the blood moon..."
"That's right." Qin Shaoyou nodded, and then said: "But there are only a few days until the full moon night. We must rescue Sixiu as soon as possible. Otherwise, not only will he be in danger, but we will also be in danger. After all, Sixiu is the prince.
It's the country's foundation... Emperor Jianwu used him as a sacrifice, which was a sacrifice to the country's foundation. I'm afraid that the mad god in the blood moon will really come! Moreover, if Sixiu dies, our plan to establish a new emperor will also be abolished.
It will be greatly affected.”
Everyone nodded in unison, agreeing with Qin Shaoyou's words.
But at the same time, they are also facing difficulties.
"Where will Si Xiu be hidden by Emperor Jianwu?"
Yes, where will Si Xiu be hidden?
In the palace? Or in the prison of the editorial office? Or somewhere else?
And these places are not something you can just go to if you want to investigate.
Qin Shaoyou had an idea.
He looked at Cui Youying and said: "Brother Cui, you are good at divination. Why don't you try a divination and see if you can get any clues? It just so happens that the scholar's "Shangshu" used to be a Si Xiu thing, and there are
Si Xiu’s handwriting can be used as a medium for divination.”
"Okay, I'll try, but there's no guarantee it will work." Cui Youying agreed.
While reaching out to Zhu Xiucai and asking him to give him the "Shang Shu", he expressed his worries: "Since Emperor Jianwu has captured Si Xiu, he will definitely take precautions and block divination, which is one of them."
Qin Shaoyou nodded to express his understanding, but still wanted to give it a try.
"Let's try it first. If we can divine clues, it would be best. If it doesn't work, we will think of another way."
"Okay." Cui Yougui responded. After taking the "Book of Secretaries" that Zhu Xiucai gave him, he called a few junior brothers and sisters over to help him set up an altar and protect the Dharma. Then he started to practice the "Book of Secretaries".
》For mediums to perform divination.
While Cui Youxian was practicing divination, Qin Shaoyou was not idle and issued several orders.
He first asked the shadow demon to sneak back to the capital again to find Lu Bing, tell the dismissed commander the news of Si Xiu's disappearance, and ask him to find a way to investigate.
At the same time, let Shadow Demon take a detour to Wuzhao Mountain on his way back to Beijing to find Cai Guizhong and ask him to find a way to use the city emperor's magical power to help find the person.
When the shadow demon went to the capital this time, he stayed inside and used the advantage of the shadow to secretly monitor and spy to see if he could gain anything.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shaoyou asked Zhu Xiucai to go to the people from the Demon Town of Xu County to ask for a torture chamber and take all the captured demons from the Black Lotus Sect there.
Later, they had no choice but to use the excuse of interrogating the demons of the Black Lotus Sect and use the torture chamber as a cover to hide from the tail who was watching outside the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division. They quietly left this place and sneaked into the capital.
After making this series of arrangements, Qin Shaoyou just took the spatula from Qiu Rong's hand and continued to cook new dishes while waiting for Cui Yougui's divination results.
In the past, Cui Youguo's divination did not take too long, no matter whether there was a result or not.
But this time, it took Cui Youwei a full hour to perform divination.
Although Qin Shaoyou and others felt strange and worried, they did not dare to interrupt and could only stare at them nervously.
Fortunately, there was a near miss and no accident occurred.
By the time the divination was over, Cui Youwei was already sweating profusely, as if he had been in a fierce fight and was almost exhausted.
The conditions of Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and others were not much better. Their bodies were shaking uncontrollably, which showed that they were overexerted.
Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou hurriedly activated his magical power to help them speed up their recovery.
After they recovered a little, they asked with concern: "What's going on?"
"call……"
After Cui Yougui exhaled a breath of turbid air, he grinned.
"As I expected, Emperor Jianwu took adequate precautions and even concealed the secrets of heaven. However, although he is cunning, I am not an economical lamp. In the end, I was a step ahead and got a glimpse of him from his strict defense.
A ray of heavenly secrets and a hexagram."
"Senior Brother Cui is awesome!"
This time, Qin Shaoyou's praise was not a response, but came from the bottom of his heart.
"What kind of hexagram is it?"
Brother Cui took a breath and slowly uttered four words: "The king is in the temple."
