"Master Ji, do you miss Wu Jiu that much?"

Waking up suddenly in the middle of the night to find someone sitting beside the bed, Ji Ran almost had a heart attack.However, it was only a momentary instinctive reaction. Looking at the person coming, Ji Ran quickly calmed down and sat up with his hands up.

"Yeah, Master Wizard has come and gone without a trace, but Ji has been waiting so long for that day to say goodbye. I look forward to it every day. I miss you so much." Leaning back against the bedpost, Ji Ran was lazy And wanton, laughing in a good mood.

"Oh?" Wu Jiu's eyes slanted, she stretched out her hand to pick up Ji Ran's chin, and leaned closer, as if she was going to kiss him at any time, but the sinister smile in her eyes was extremely cruel, "I am so happy to see you." ?”

Ji Ran didn't dodge or evade, and smiled lightly at that cruel gaze.

Wu Jiu is really right, Ji Ran is really happy.

The forces in the palace have been involved in the investigation for several days. The city is under martial law every day, and the city gates are set up to strictly check no matter who enters or exits.Under such circumstances, Yizhuang's body was still lost, not only Ji Ran, but even the emperor was in a hurry. Now that the person he had been looking for for so long finally showed up, he was of course happy.

Seeing Ji Ran's smile, Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes, let go of Ji Ran's body and quickly retreated to the side. At the same time, a sharp sword stabbed across the air, pointing directly at the place where he was sitting just now.The next moment, the sharp sword was held in the hand of the master who came out of the way, and almost without a pause, he turned around and stabbed again.

However, the opponent was caught by surprise, Wu Jiu's skills did not fall behind, and he fought with bare hands.Not only that, the two sides were evenly matched at the beginning, but as they got further behind, the sword moves became restrained, with obvious hesitation.

Ji Ran watched from the side, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "Zhao Weiwei, you are trying to release water!"

It was the imperial bodyguard Zhao Yu who was ambushing and attacking Wu Jiu. He was shocked when he heard Ji Ran's words, and the sword wind became swift and fierce again.But even so, compared to Wu Jiu's ruthless moves, Zhao Yu still had some reservations. Every stab avoided the opponent's vital points, as if he wanted to capture the opponent unscathed.

Ji Ran looked at it with trepidation for a while, and then he understood in his heart, leaning against the bedpost and smiled, "His Royal Highness is so skilled, does the Emperor know?"

Before she finished speaking, Wu Jiu was struck by the hilt of Zhao Yu's sword in a blink of an eye, and she staggered back a few steps, but no longer wanted to fight, and jumped over the broken window to escape.

Zhao Yu didn't stop, and immediately jumped out of the window and chased him out.

Seeing that he was about to run away, Ji Ran got out of bed, opened the door and ran out without even bothering to put on his coat. He hurriedly lit a signal flare and threw it into the air.

With a bang, the signal bomb exploded a cluster of fluorescent light in the air, Ji Ran didn't chase after it, but stopped on the spot, looking at the dusk sky, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Ever since receiving the urgent report, the emperor summoned Bai Muyan to the palace to discuss together, but the result of the discussion was not to send an imperial doctor there because of a desperate illness. It's just adding corpses.They all agreed that the thief should be captured first, and since all this may be related to the corpse theft case, they should start from here and cut off the hidden danger from the root. Wu Jiu went to Ji Ran from the very beginning, and they concluded that there was something wrong with it. Two is three, and now under the situation of martial law in the whole city, an ambush was secretly set up on Ji Ran's mansion, just waiting for Wu Jiu to throw himself into the trap.

Sure enough, this move was not in vain.

As long as Wu Jiu is captured alive, it is confirmed that what happened to the reinforcements is indeed related to him, and if the opponent is controlled, the difficulty of the reinforcements will naturally be solved.As for the dead soldiers, they will be sacrificed with the blood of the Huns!

Thinking of this, Ji Ran couldn't help being stunned. Suddenly, he had a sense of belonging to this dynasty without knowing it, and he was so passionate with the enemy?

But it doesn't feel bad either.

Ji Ran smiled, did not continue to sleep, turned around and went back to the room to get dressed, ready to enter the palace.

Originally, I thought that it was a sure thing, so many people could not fall into the trap, so Wu Jiu would not be able to escape, but after entering the palace, Ji Ran found that this was not the case.As soon as he arrived at the imperial study, he bumped into the emperor and was furious. He actually let Wu Jiu run away, and the emperor's anger was obviously not as simple as not catching Wu Jiu. It's more the heartache of being cheated and betrayed, right?

It took too much time for the reinforcements to be dragged down by the corpse puppets. The originally prepared food and grass would inevitably exceed the budget. Before the food and grass in the front were empty, the rear had to make up. Continue to wait in the city, planning to be with Lu Zhen.But looking at the emperor who was furious and mourning right now, he couldn't find the right time to say the words.

"Master Ji, the emperor is in a bad mood right now. You're here at the wrong time, why don't you go back first?" The sound of crackling and smashing came one after another, and he was almost accidentally injured several times. Ren Changfu shivered, with good intentions Remind Ji Ran.

In this state of the emperor, it is indeed impossible to talk about serious business, but food and grass are a major matter of marching, so there should be no delay...

Ji Ran pondered for a while, then shook his head, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your reminder, but the matter is urgent...you go out first, I'll just wait here for the emperor to pass away."

Of course it was impossible for Ren Changfu to go out, so he shook his head, and continued to stand beside Ji Ran tremblingly, waiting for the emperor to calm down.

However, the emperor's anger obviously did not dissipate so quickly.After venting and smashing, the emperor stood in a daze in the hall, staggered back a few steps and suddenly woke up, turned around and rushed back to the dragon table at the speed of the whirlwind, but did not sit down, but waved his sleeves and threw the bucket full of paper on the table. The scroll fell to the ground.

The scrolls rolled to the ground, and one of them fell apart. Ji Ran lowered his eyes, and Wu Jiu's back appeared vividly on the paper in a forest of ink and wash plums. It was actually... a portrait of a queen.

There is no need to open all of them, Ji Ran can basically guess, and the rest must be no exception, presumably they are all Wu Jiu in various postures.

It is said that the most ruthless emperor's family, but looking at the emperor in front of him, Ji Ran felt that it was not right, the emperor's family also has affectionate species.Hey, it is pitiful for the majestic king of a country to be hurt so much by deception.

Wu Jiu was a wizard of the Huns, but she was the only male queen in Da Nan back then. Apart from being the legend of a generation of male queens, her true identity is self-evident.If the meticulous work can be sacrificed to this point, then Wu Jiu is also a genius.

The entire imperial study room seemed to be swept away by a hurricane, and it was in a mess. Zhao Yu, the imperial guard, had his forehead smashed and knelt there motionless.The emperor didn't care about anything, just sat down on the chair, looked up at the roof with his eyes empty, looked at it, and suddenly laughed softly, and then the laughter grew louder, stimulating the eardrums of others, He also laughed so that his face was full of tears, and finally he couldn't bear the pain, and buried his face in his palms.

"Master Ji." Ren Changfu looked at him, and pulled Jiran's sleeve again, "Look, today is really not the time, you still..."

Ji Ran looked at Zhao Shiwei and then at the emperor. It seemed that today's talk was really over, so he sighed, nodded, turned and left the imperial study.As soon as he stepped down the steps, he bumped into Bai Muyan who was hurrying towards him.

"Master Ji." Bai Muyan stopped and bowed to Ji Ran, "You are also here, I heard that Wu Jiu escaped, but is it true?"

"Of course it's true." Ji Ran turned his head and glanced at the door of the imperial study behind him, "Master Bai is also here for this?"

"Yes, I came here this morning when I heard about it, you have met the emperor, what did the emperor say?" Bai Muyan asked.

"I saw it, but I didn't say anything." Ji Ran shook his head, "The emperor is not in a good mood right now, Mr. Xiang should stop rushing to sprinkle salt on the emperor's wound, and hit the tip of the gun at this time Son, it's not a good thing."

Bai Muyan frowned upon hearing this, and glanced at Yushufang.

Ji Ran said, "Let's go together?"

Bai Muyan paused, without saying a word, turned around and left with Ji Ran.

"What happened to the emperor?" Bai Muyan was puzzled, thinking that the emperor would be angry if Wu Jiu escaped, but from Ji Ran's words just now, he vaguely felt that it was not that simple.

"Wu Jiu is about the late queen, the emperor knows about it." Ji Ran said as he walked.

"Wu Jiu admitted it?" Bai Muyan stopped in surprise, "But, the two people's appearances are not exactly the same, don't they fall into this person's tricks?"

"It's not that he admits it, it's me who tried it out, and Zhao Yu reported it to the emperor." Every time the two Zhao Yu mentioned it, Ji Ran felt awkward, but fortunately he didn't need to call their names directly, but it was easy to distinguish, "As for the appearance... What's going on, the only way to find out is to find that Wu Jiu."

"It's going to scare the snake this time, and it's going to be difficult to get someone." Bai Muyan shook her head.

"Indeed." Ji Ran sighed, "But as long as he is still in the capital, dig three feet, he will always be found."

With Wu Jiu's escape and disappearance, the case of stealing corpses intensified, and even reached Yizhuang's corpses, and frequent disappearances of young and middle-aged people often appeared.

Needless to say, most of these missing young and middle-aged men have something to do with Wu Jiu, and it must be more or less ominous.

Under such a bad situation, the emperor also didn't care about the love of his children and hurt the spring and autumn, so he held several emergency meetings.The current situation is not only about missing persons, but more serious is the war. The reinforcements have been dragged down, and the soldiers in the front are retreating steadily. If this continues, it will be a catastrophe for Da Nan, and the consequences will be unimaginable, so first of all It is this dilemma that must be broken.

However, after many discussions and discussions, there was no useful solution. Everyone had different opinions, but they were just empty talk, with no substantive effect at all. Some people even suggested finding a Taoist monk to compete with Wu Jiu.Isn't this bullshit?Looking around the world, charlatans abound, and there are a few real ones, not to mention the emperor is very angry, even Ji Ran, seeing the ministers who think they are Kai Kai and talking, feel hot eyes.

"The incident was caused by a Hun sorcerer. In my opinion, we have to start with this sorcerer and find out its weakness in order to turn the situation around." One of the ministers standing with Zhang Qizhong suddenly fell into a long silence speak out.

"Oh?" The emperor didn't even have the mood to lift his eyelids, and asked in a low tone, "Weakness...how can I get it?"

"Uh..." the minister said, "The most urgent thing is to find the Hun wizard first."

It wasn't that the emperor made a black face when he heard that, Ji Ran and Bai Muyan looked at each other, and they both couldn't help rolling their eyes.

"Since the other party is targeting young and middle-aged people, we might as well lure them with bait." Ji Ran thought for a while.

Bai Muyan came out and seconded, "There is no shortage of strong and strong prisoners on death row, and they are suitable as bait."

The emperor heard the touch, but he didn't follow the routine at all. He stood up suddenly, looked at all the officials, but said something that made his legs weak, "In this case, let me make this bait."

Everyone was terrified, and their expressions all reflected a signal: Is the emperor crazy? !

When they came back to their senses, everyone knelt down in unison.

"Your Majesty will never force you to do so. You are the Son of Heaven. How can you put yourself in danger? Your Majesty, think twice!"

However, the emperor didn't care about everyone's dissuasion, he turned around and left with a flick of his robe sleeves, leaving a group of ministers talking in panic.

Ji Ran and Bai Muyan came out of the hall, looked at each other, and frowned.
