Chu Yi's sudden and mysterious disappearance puzzled Yang Yiqing. Although Chu Yi's words had some vague meaning not long ago, Yang Yiqing didn't think that Chu Yi would disappear so suddenly.
No trace.
Looking at Zhu Houzhao's devastated look, Yang Yiqing looked around. Fortunately, the servants and the chamberlains accompanying Zhu Houzhao all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Zhu Houzhao. Otherwise, if other people saw Zhu Houzhao like this
If you look embarrassed, it will really undermine the emperor's majesty.
With a slight cough, Yang Yiqing said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty..."
Yang Yiqing, who came back to his senses, looked at Yang Yiqing like a helpless child and said: "Yang Qing, the eldest companion is missing, the eldest companion is missing!"
Yang Yiqing was grabbed by Zhu Houzhao's shoulder, and he sighed softly in his heart: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The chief manager may have just gone out for something. How could a living person disappear like that?"
Hearing what Yang Yiqing said, Zhu Houzhao, who was originally a little confused because of Chu Yi's disappearance, calmed down a little, and said with a bit of hope on his face: "Yes, what the Qing family said makes sense, he must have a great companion."
Things are out."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao said to the several chamberlains: "Pass on my decree and order the Jinyi Guards, Dongchang, and Xichang to help me find the whereabouts of Chu Daban."
As the saying goes, the world is as big as the king's land. When Zhu Houzhao thought about it, even if Chu Yi left the capital, he would not disappear. He must be somewhere.
As the Emperor of Heaven, he didn't believe that he couldn't find anyone.
It is conceivable that with Zhu Houzhao's order, the East Factory, Jinyiwei, and West Factory immediately started operating at high speed.
With the three major intelligence agencies working together, it is really not difficult to find the whereabouts of a person, even if that person is Chu Yi.
While the three major intelligence agencies were trying their best to find Chu Yi's whereabouts, Chu Yi was sitting opposite someone in a quiet room.
Qingyang Palace, as a famous Taoist temple in the capital, became even more famous after a Taoist priest moved in.
In the capital, Shao Yuanjie and Chu Yi sat opposite each other, the scent of sandalwood was faint.
Shao Yuanjie, who was like a man among gods, looked at Chu Yi with a look of astonishment on his face.
To be honest, Shao Yuanjie was very surprised that Chu Yi came to look for him. The most important thing was that Chu Yi's words just now made Shao Yuanjie feel like he was in a dream.
Aren't these words about perfect merit and virtue and ascending to the heavenly realm used by cultivators like them to deceive those high-ranking officials?
In the end, Chu Yi actually said this to him. No wonder Shao Yuanjie was so shocked.
Shao Yuanjie is an orthodox Taoist cultivator. Although he hopes that one day he will be able to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven, but precisely because he is a Taoist, he knows better that the so-called attainment and advancement is simply a lie. There are no immortals in this world.
There is no such thing as immortality among gods. As for ascending to heaven, that is just an unattainable dream.
Chu Yi's coming to look for Shao Yuanjie this time was not impulsive. In fact, according to Chu Yi's idea, he was planning to leave quietly by taking advantage of the opportunity to sail to the West. However, some arrangements that needed to be made before leaving had not been made.
It must also be done.
On the one hand, it was Zhu Houzhao's personal safety, and on the other hand, it was the future direction of the Ming Dynasty, so he had left Yang Yiqing behind and had such a conversation with Yang Yiqing.
Now Chu Yi came to see Shao Yuanjie again, but he came for the emperor's safety.
As one of the most powerful Taoists in the world, Shao Yuanjie entered the palace through his recommendation and taught the emperor how to practice Taoist health-preserving techniques for several years.
During this period, Shao Yuanjie worked hard without showing any ambition for power. He can be said to be a true Taoist.
The palace has Qin An and a group of other old eunuchs who practice the Sunflower Book. It is a land of dragons and tigers. Coupled with Shao Yuanjie, it can be said that except for Chu Yi, no one in the world can break into the palace and threaten it.
Zhu Houzhao’s safety.
Looking at Chu Yi, Shao Yuanjie said with surprise in his eyes: "General Manager, are you talking nonsense?"
Shao Yuanjie was one of the people who dared to talk to Chu Yi like this. Obviously Shao Yuanjie felt that Chu Yi must be talking nonsense.
What makes Chu Yi's words too unbelievable? Just imagine, if one day, a person suddenly runs up to you and tells you that he is going to ascend to immortality, what will you think?
I think the other person is going crazy.
Now Shao Yuanjie is thinking like this, thinking that Chu Yi must have become a demon through cultivation and made himself crazy through cultivation.
After all, Chu Yi's previous excuse for resigning to the emperor was that he hoped to practice in seclusion wholeheartedly, and Shao Yuanjie knew this.
Shao Yuanjie admired Chu Yi for putting all his thoughts on cultivation, but now he thought that Chu Yi was obsessed with cultivation.
Chu Yi knew what Shao Yuanjie was thinking just by looking at Shao Yuanjie's expression. He couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Is it possible that the real person thinks that Mr. Chu has lost his mind and gone crazy?"
Shao Yuanjie looked at Chu Yi with a serious look on his face and said: "The General Manager is very knowledgeable and talented. Throughout the past and present, there are no people who have achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven. Those so-called legends about becoming immortals and attaining enlightenment are just rumors after all..."
Shao Yuanjie looked like he was trying to persuade Chu Yi. After all, his current status was all thanks to Chu Yi's introduction to the emperor, so Shao Yuanjie still admired and was grateful to Chu Yi.
Therefore, Shao Yuanjie couldn't bear Chu Yi to continue on this evil path. He was really daydreaming, thinking that he had succeeded in cultivation and was about to ascend. If he really continued like this, once he went crazy, Chu Yi would be ruined.
Shao Yuanjie's reaction was within Chu Yi's expectation. If Shao Yuanjie believed whatever he said, then it would be impossible for him to have so many people come to see Shao Yuanjie instead of not meeting him.
Not to mention other things, in the capital, the contemporary Celestial Master has not yet left, and Chu Yi has not gone to see Zhang Yanfu. In the final analysis, Chu Yi trusts Shao Yuanjie more.
Chu Yi did not explain too much, but solemnly took out a token and handed it to Shao Yuanjie.
Shao Yuanjie looked at the token with confusion. Chu Yi just smiled and said: "Master, just keep this token. If His Majesty is searching for the whereabouts of Chu all over the world, I will give this token to you."
Your Majesty is."
Although Shao Yuanjie didn't quite understand what Chu Yi was going to do, after pondering for a while, he solemnly took the token and said, "Don't worry, General Manager, Pindao will definitely live up to the expectations of the General Manager."
While speaking, Chu Yi slowly stood up and walked outside, saying, "I think by now, the people looking for Chu will have arrived."
As if to confirm Chu Yi's words, a rush of footsteps appeared outside the Qingyang Palace, and then a figure was seen striding into the Qingyang Palace. Who could it be if it wasn't Cao Shaoqin?
As the current governor of Dongchang, Cao Shaoqin was shocked when he learned the news of Chu Yi's disappearance from the emperor. He owes everything to Chu Yi for being where he is today, and even being able to secure his position as governor of Dongchang is also due to Chu Yi's blessing.
, if anything happens to Chu Yi, there is no telling what kind of accident may happen to him as the governor of the East Factory.
Therefore, according to the emperor's will, Dongchang is definitely looking for Chu Yi the most. Compared with Dongchang, neither Jin Yiwei Qian Ning nor Xichang Yuhuatian is actually less interested.
Even Qian Ning, Yu Huatian and some people wished that Chu Yi would just disappear and never show up again. In fact, Chu Yi, an uncrowned king, was hanging over his head like a sword.
Dongchang was definitely no worse than Jinyiwei in the capital, and even had better intelligence than Jinyiwei. However, just over a cup of tea, Dongchang found Chu Yi's traces.
Outside the Qingyang Palace, a group of Dongchang fans were guarding the gate, while Cao Shaoqin quickly walked into the Qingyang Palace and saw Chu Yi being sent off respectfully by Shao Yuanjie from a distance.
Seeing Chu Yi, Cao Shaoqin's eyes lit up, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately bowed to Chu Yi and said, "My subordinate, Cao Shaoqin, has met the General Manager. The General Manager makes His Majesty very worried!"
Chu Yi didn't find it strange that Yang Yiqing entered the palace. He could even guess what Yang Yiqing's reaction would be after what he said to the emperor.
Listening to what Cao Shaoqin said, Chu Yi could probably guess what happened to Zhu Houzhao in the short period of time before he left the palace to meet Shao Yuanjie.
Zhu Houzhao made such a big noise, which was somewhat beyond Chu Yi's expectation.
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's reaction, Chu Yi saluted Shao Yuanjie behind him and said, "Master, please remember what Chu said today!"
Shao Yuanjie nodded slightly and said to Chu Yi: "Don't worry, Chief Manager."
While speaking, Chu Yi nodded towards Cao Shaoqin and said, "Follow me to see your Majesty."
In Prince Wu's Mansion, Zhu Houzhao was sitting in the study room where Chu Yi usually read. Although he was holding a book in his hand, Zhu Houzhao was uneasy and looked restless.
He has done everything he needs to do. Since he has sent Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Xichang to find Chu Yi's whereabouts, as long as Chu Yi is still in the capital, I believe it won't be long before Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Xichang will definitely
It will bring him news about Chu Yi.
Just when Zhu Houzhao was feeling regretful about why he didn't agree to Chu Yi's plea, which resulted in Chu Yi's disappearance, he heard a voice coming from outside the study: "I've seen His Highness King Wu!"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face. He took a few steps forward and saw a familiar figure walking into the study. Who was it if it wasn't Chu Yi?
Chu Yi looked up and saw the look of surprise in Zhu Houzhao's eyes. He was deeply moved. He stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, it is my fault to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this. Please punish me!"
