Looking at the black iron box in the snow, Xia Shang seemed to have forgotten the coldness of the snowy night, and his cloak fell to the ground unknowingly without moving.
The black box is not the key. All Xia Shang cares about is his own children.
Now it seems that it is extremely likely that the child will fall into the hands of the emperor, and this matter can be regarded as having an outcome.
This is not what Xia Shang wants, but it is something that can be done. In contrast, whether it is possible to know the child's condition, even if he will be restricted by the court from now on, at least he can be sure that the emperor will not do anything dangerous to the child.
As long as the child is safe, that's the best thing.
But this made Xia Shang very unhappy and worried.
As a father, Xia Shang never wanted his child to fall into the hands of others. And over time, what would happen if the child did not recognize him as his father?
Thinking about it, Xia Shang could only smile bitterly and shake his head. These are things for the future and things that cannot be changed at present. He can only take one step at a time.
His thoughts returned to the black iron box in front of him.
While in the palace, the emperor specifically told him to handle it carefully and properly, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to this black iron box.
And when he delivered the box, he also hinted that his child was in his hands, which was undoubtedly another reminder to Xia Shang that he must handle it well.
This is strange. What is contained in this? What would make the emperor care so much?
At this time, Yue Lingbo came from behind Xia Shang, picked up the cloak that fell on the ground, and gently put it on Xia Shang: "The woman's injury has stabilized, but she needs to rest for a while."
Xia Shang nodded slightly.
Yue Lingbo frowned: "It seems that you have underestimated the opponent. Judging from the internal injuries, the opponent must be a grandmaster."
"Grandmaster?" Xia Shang became alert and looked back at Yue Lingbo.
Yue Lingbo smiled: "It's good for that woman to save her life. It seems that the other party didn't do anything serious. It seems that the capital is really not peaceful recently. There are more and more masters. I can already feel that there are people everywhere in the capital.
A master-level powerhouse is lurking and suppressing his aura. It is not surprising that a master appears in this matter."
"In this case, I have to ask you to look after her more."
"I remember that woman. At the Suzhou Heroes Conference, a lot of things seemed to have happened between you and her."
Xia Shang frowned, he also knew about Shangguan Chan.
Because Shangguanchan had never
Knowing the true identity of Xia Shang, I only knew that Xia Shang belonged to a certain official position in the imperial court, but I never thought that Xia Shang was the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
So at the Heroes' Conference, Xia Shang and Shangguan Chan went to the church to get married.
I thought that after this, I could completely win over Shangguanchan's heart, but who knew that Shangguanchan would blame Xia Shang for killing his father after knowing his true identity.
This matter is really difficult to explain. Xia Shang knew Shangguanchan's personality, so he did not dare to inquire about Shangguanchan.
When she came back, Qin Huairou told Xia Shang her original plan. On the one hand, she was angry at Qin Huairou's rashness and selfishness, and on the other hand, she didn't expect Shangguan Chan to hate her so deeply.
Thinking about it, Xia Shang felt a headache: "Hey, now I really don't have the mind or energy to think about all this."
This sigh was a bit sad, and even Yue Lingbo felt a little sorry for the man in front of her after hearing it, and walked closer: "Don't worry, when my sister comes, I will let her take my group of disciples back first.
It’s okay for me to stay and help you for a while.”
Xia Shang was a little surprised. He looked back at Yue Lingbo and finally showed a smile.
"Although you are a master, I will not put you in danger."
"..." Yue Lingbo turned his eyes away and saw the black box at the door, "What is that?"
"I don't know, I have to transport this thing to Xiantao Mountain early this morning."
Both of them were a little curious, so they walked all the way to the black box and looked at it carefully.
Before, I thought this black box was shaped like a coffin, but when I walked in, I felt it looked more like a coffin.
However, this coffin-shaped black box is made of pure iron. Even if it is hollow inside, its weight cannot be underestimated.
The lid was not sealed, and a servant asked if he wanted to open it to see what was inside.
Xia Shang thought for a while and decided it was better not to go and see it.
There are many things where curiosity can kill people, and Xia Shang didn't want to increase the risk.
Yue Lingbo stood aside and looked at it for a while, then whispered: "This thing is a bit strange. I can't sense the breath in it, and I can't tell what is inside."
"This is not something I should think about. Since the emperor wants me to escort this thing, then I will escort this thing with peace of mind."
Yue Lingbo nodded: "Anyway, be careful. It's getting late, so you should go and rest for a while."
Look at the sky, it’s almost dawn, but it’s finally
The heavy snow on the day made the light very turbid, and it was difficult to tell the exact time.
Xia Shang thought about it and decided that it was better not to go to bed. It would be better to set off early while it was getting light.
Xia Shang asked his family to wrap the black box tightly to prevent others from knowing what was inside, and then he went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate under an umbrella.
When we arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the sky was already slightly bright.
Ancient people were accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early, so it was very early for the Xia and Shang Dynasties, but it was already time for the ancient people to get up and be active.
Someone was already clearing the snow at the entrance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. When they saw Xia Shang coming, they immediately greeted Xia Shang: "Sir, why are you so early today?"
"You all put down what you are doing, and notify us immediately to gather all the elites currently in the capital. The emperor personally ordered a mission to leave the city."
The snow clearing men were all shocked, thinking that this was the first time they had received an order from the emperor himself. They all felt very excited and did not dare to show any hesitation.
All the people on duty in the Metropolitan Procuratorate went out to announce the news, and only Yu Nu was doing nothing in the courtyard.
Seeing Xia Shang, Yu Nu followed Xia Shang obediently without saying anything.
Xia Shang looked at her and asked, "Are you still used to it?"
"Go back to my master, I still hope to stay with you."
"If you are not used to it now, you will get used to it later."
"Master came so early today. Did something happen?"
"You are about to leave the capital. If you are lucky, you will be there in a day or two. If you are not lucky, you don't know what you will encounter, let alone when you will be able to return."
"I don't know how many days it will take to get back..." Yunu muttered in a low voice, thoughtfully.
After pausing for a moment, Yu Nu came to Xia Shang and took Xia Shang's hand.
"Since we are not sure about the return time, please invite the master and the jade slave into the house."
"Come into the house?"
Yunu lowered his head and looked a little shy: "Counting the time, it's time to use the method of crossing Qi again for the master, otherwise I'm afraid the Gu insects in the body will move again."
After saying this, Xia Shang remembered the meaning of the Jade Slave's existence.
Poison has always been Xia Shang's worry. Xia Shang didn't dare to be careless about this matter. Since Yu Nu said that she needed to use the method of transferring Qi, just let her enter the house.
Moreover, this so-called method of transferring Qi is not a bad thing. Even if you don't want to admit it, you still like it in your heart.
