Aunt, please don't chase me. I don't want to be the emperor.

Now it seems that these rumors are true.

This Great Zhou...is really becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

This is causing headaches for the rebel leader Zhao Si, and His Majesty, the Holy Emperor Ji Xian of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is currently...

On a passenger ship heading from southern Jingzhou to Yangzhou, Ji Xian was sitting in the corner of the cargo hold wrapped in a blanket.

At first glance, it looks very miserable and pitiful.

But if you take a second look, you won't feel that way.

"Grandma is a bear."

Ji Xian kept cursing and swearing.

"What a bunch of bastards! Instead of helping me, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, they all side with Luo Xue!"

"If I hadn't been so quick-witted, courageous, and clever, I would have been captured by now."

"Um... clever and smart sounds a bit strange. Can it be used to describe a man?"

Because Ji Xian was often lazy and slacking off when she was a child, her cultural level is very uneven.

But Ji Xian's IQ is still quite high. When Tianhu Shuai and Prime Minister Di Qingtian taught him in the past, he was just too lazy to listen and was playful.

A few days ago in Changsha City, Ji Xian was chased all over the streets by Su Luoxue. Later, Su Luoxue even mobilized the Lieque Guard and the Baima Guard to chase and intercept her, and almost caught Ji Xian.

Fortunately, Ji Xian was quick-witted and came up with two strategies on the spot while escaping.

First, while escaping, Ji Xian shouted in the streets that the emperor had been assassinated, the Great Zhou Secret Guards had rebelled, and people were coming to his rescue. This caused a stir in the city and rumors spread everywhere.

Su Luoxue was so angry that she almost spit out blood. They had gone to great lengths to flatter Ji Xian, just to create the image of him as a wise ruler, so that the people would have more trust in the Great Zhou. But instead, he ran around the streets shouting shame, ruining the Great Zhou's reputation while also ruining his own.

But Su Luoxue couldn't let Ji Xian do this, so she immediately sent a number of secret guards in plain clothes to spread rumors among the people, saying that the person shouting all over the city was a lunatic and should be ignored.

Su Luoxue was speechless when she thought about it. She had always been trying to increase the public's favor towards Ji Xian, but now they had to say that he was a lunatic.

However, Ji Xian was dressed in dirty clothes like a refugee at the time, so this plan was quite successful. Many people just thought it was the ravings of a madman and did not take it seriously.

Ji Xian's first plan was successful, diverting a large number of manpower from the Great Zhou Secret Guard, forcing them to clean up the mess for Ji Xian.

As for the second plan, after briefly getting rid of Su Luoxue, Ji Xian disguised herself and took the initiative to meet the city guard of Changsha City, and then asked the guard to help her escape from the city.

The city guards were unaware of Ji Xian’s unreliable personality. That was the top secret of the Great Zhou, and only the officials of Chang’an and the Seven Secret Guards of the Great Zhou knew the secret.

Logically, the city guard should have obeyed His Majesty's order. However, he only raised a slight doubt and was immediately frightened.

When Ji Xian saw that this guy actually questioned her, she immediately drew her sword and put it against his neck.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Stop talking nonsense to me and find a way to get me out of the city, or I'll execute your entire family!"

"My lord, I obey your order!"

Then, the Changsha city garrison officer sent Ji Xian out of the city crying, letting him blend in with the transport team leaving the city.

In addition, to prevent leaks, Ji Xian even knocked out the city guard, tied him up, and threw him into the closet in his room. Then he knocked out the captain of the guard in charge of transportation and threw him directly into the cargo box of the transportation team.

After successfully leaving Changsha, Ji Xian immediately escaped and successfully escaped from Changsha.

Speaking of which, that team leaving the city...seems to be transporting the city's garbage.

I wonder if the captain of the guard was discovered later. I don’t think... he was thrown into the garbage dump together with me.

"......"

Ji Xian couldn't help but think about this, but in the end he waved his hand.

Forget it, no need to think about it. The captain of the guard will definitely be fine anyway.

Well, for sure!

2.2 The Emperor's aunt looks more like the Emperor than he does

Let’s go back a little to a few days ago.

"Lord Su is here!"

At the garbage dump outside Changsha City, Su Luoxue led people there as soon as she received the report.

Then, they saw the captain of the guard sitting on the ground at the entrance of the garbage dump. He was covered in filth and smelled bad. He looked more wronged than Dou E and was crying and pounding the floor.

"God damn it, you can't bully me like this, what did I do wrong!!!"

The captain of the guard shouted to the sky, but received no response.

Su Luoxue looked at him expressionlessly, and without any change in her expression, she asked the person next to her, "What's wrong with him? Explain."

"Is such that......"

The person in charge of the landfill immediately began to explain the situation.

About half an hour ago, when they were taking out the garbage, a person fell out. Everyone was shocked, but when they came to their senses, the person had been thrown into the garbage pit and was buried alive by the garbage that was taken out later.

So the workers at the garbage dump rushed to dig out the captain of the guard and rescued him in time.

"......"

Su Luoxue listened to all this without saying a word, holding her forehead and feeling very overwhelmed.

Needless to say, this must have been done by Ji Xian.

Stuffing the innocent Changsha guard captain into a trash can and even burying him alive in the garbage dump, can you believe that this is what an emperor would do?

The funny thing is that Su Luoxue felt a headache, but she was no longer surprised. It was obvious that she was also confused by Ji Xian.

But the questions still had to be asked. Su Luoxue stepped forward and looked at the captain of the guards. She said to him calmly, "Wipe your tears and then answer the questions."

Hearing the sound, the captain of the guard looked over.

After seeing that it was Su Luoxue, he rushed forward like an 800-pound three-year-old child, crying and trying to hug Su Luoxue's thighs: "Master Su, you have to make the decision for me!"

Before Su Luoxue could say anything, Mo Yu, who was standing beside her, was quick-witted. Oh no, quick-witted, because she immediately rushed forward and stepped on the captain's face, sending him flying.

"Don't touch Master Su!"

Mo Yu shouted and cursed.

The captain of the guard got up from the ground with his hands covering his face, sobbing aggrievedly.

Su Luoxue sighed, then said, "Let me ask you, His Majesty did all this, right?"

"Yes, Lord Su, you must make the decision for me!"

Su Luoxue didn't say anything, but stared at him coldly with murderous eyes.

Locked in by the murderous aura of the Yangshen master, the captain of the guard was immediately shocked. For a moment, he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and the blood in his body became turbulent and chaotic.

"Sir, why is this happening?" the captain of the guard said tremblingly.

"What do you say?"

The captain of the guard was puzzled, but after a few seconds he figured it out.

He had just told Su Luoxue to let Lord Su make the decision for him. But Su Luoxue was the Grand Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Asking the Grand Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty to make the decision on his behalf to punish the Emperor was so presumptuous and unreasonable. Wasn't this simply courting death?

The captain of the guard knelt on the spot, kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, Lord Su, I just said the wrong thing in a moment of haste. Please don't take it to heart."

"Alright, let's get down to business." Su Luoxue felt exhausted and wanted to quickly end the questioning: "Let me ask you, where did His Majesty go?"

"I was knocked unconscious at the time, and when I woke up I was already in the garbage dump, so I don't know where Your Majesty went."

"When did His Majesty find you?"

"Probably last night at 3 p.m."

"Did His Majesty say anything?"

"He said if I didn't cooperate, my entire family would be executed."

Su Luoxue finished her question, but she asked something else at the end: "Have you encountered anything in the past two days?"

"Ah?" The captain of the guard was stunned: "Master Su, what are you talking about? I was not...?"

Before the captain finished speaking, he noticed that Su Luoxue's eyes gradually turned colder, and subconsciously realized that he had said the wrong thing again. His first reaction was to cover his mouth and then think about it.

Then the captain of the guards thought of something and quickly changed his words: "No, no, nothing happened in the past two days. I am very good!"

Su Luoxue didn't ask any more questions and turned around and left.

Mo Yu also sighed, lamenting that the captain of the guards was not too stupid. Otherwise, this guy would probably be dragged away and broken bones soon.

After leaving the garbage dump, Su Luoxue gave orders to Mo Yu.

"Send a message to Chang'an immediately to inquire about the whereabouts of His Majesty, the Imperial Master. Also send a message to the Seven Commanders of the Great Zhou to inform them of His Majesty's news."

"Yes." Although Mo Yu bowed in agreement, he couldn't help but ask, "But Lord Su, didn't you write to the Imperial Master before to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts? Only then did you learn that the emperor would escape through the west gate. Why are you asking again now?"

Mo Yu knew that Su Luoxue was not a devil instructor. As long as it was reasonable, she would not care. She could still ask what she needed to ask.

Su Luoxue answered her expressionlessly: "The art of divination cannot completely predict the future. The future is unpredictable."

The so-called divination technique is to see the process through some invisible media from ancient times to the present, but it can only give a vague idea, so deduction is needed.

But the future is changeable and complex, and it is normal for something unexpected or even completely different to happen.

There are many people in this world who learn the art of divination, but the only one who can make predictions with almost no mistakes is Jiang Shanggong, the head of the Tianji Pavilion.

Su Luoxue knew the National Master Zhang Mengxuan very well. After all, based on seniority, Su Luoxue had to call him Uncle Master.

Zhang Mengxuan is one of the strongest people in the world today. Although he is a national teacher, his strength is not inferior to the Seven Marshals of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is the world's number one master of thunder magic.

However, there was no mention of divination techniques in the Wen Tian Lu. His astrology and fortune-telling skills were self-taught hundreds of years ago in Qinglei Mountain in Western Xinjiang. To predict the fortunes of someone as unconventional as Ji Xian, no one besides Jiang Shang Gong could accurately predict his every move; they could only proceed piecemeal.

Therefore, Su Luoxue could only ask step by step, which was really troublesome.

But in fact, even without asking, Su Luoxue could probably guess where Ji Xian was going.

Liangzhou Tang Sect and Yangzhou Divine Weapon Valley are the two most likely places. After all, Ji Xian needs a treasure that can conceal the secrets of heaven. As long as he has this, even Jiang Shanggong will not be able to figure out his exact whereabouts.

After briefly explaining the situation to Mo Yu, Su Luoxue said, "Send a message to the Imperial Master and the Seven Commanders of the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately. Then the Lieque Guards will follow me to the Divine Weapon Valley in Yangzhou."

"Yes, but Lord Su, why is it the Divine Weapon Valley?"

"Because Your Majesty left Changsha through the East Gate."

In terms of Changsha's geographical location, the Tang Sect is in the west and the Divine Weapon Valley is in the east. Su Luoxue went directly east to find the Divine Weapon Valley, and the geographical location was correct.

But Mo Yu still asked, "Is it possible that Your Majesty took a detour to the Tang Sect?"

"Then let the Sky Fox Guards capture him, and we'll go to the Divine Weapon Valley."

"Oh, I see."

Mo Yu understood, understood everything.

Yes, at present the seven generals of the Great Zhou are scattered across the four regions of Jiuzhou. No matter where His Majesty Ji Xian escapes to, there will definitely be one of them nearby. As long as we get the news, we can immediately capture him.

The Tang Clan was in Liangzhou, the headquarters of the Sky Fox Guard. While the Sky Fox Commander was currently in the Western Frontier and unable to leave, the Sky Fox Guard's Deputy Commander and the Third Commander were both in Liangzhou. As soon as Su Luoxue's message arrived, they would be able to find the Tang Clan immediately.

All under heaven belongs to the king. With Su Luoxue's status and position, she cannot command the people there. No one of hers will follow Ji Xian wherever she goes.

When he thought of this, Mo Yu couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "He really looks more like the emperor than the emperor..."

Of course, it would cost a lot to say such words, so Mo Yu only dared to complain in his heart, and of course he didn't dare to say it out loud.

2.3 The Emperor has driven the chefs crazy

"Hey, hurry up and take this to the guests."

"This fish is almost done, bring it over too."

In the kitchen of the passenger ship that Ji Xian was on, the chefs were busy preparing dishes to serve to the guests who were going upstairs.

This is a large passenger ship that travels between Jingzhou and Yangzhou. It can carry no more than 500 passengers each time, and it is also like an inn, with three classes of rooms: upper, middle and lower.

Guests in the middle and lower rooms all eat in the ship's cafeteria, while those in the upper rooms can order dishes, which will be specially prepared by the chef and delivered to their rooms.

At this time, the chefs had already prepared a batch of food and were preparing to serve it to the guests in the upper room.

However, when one of the chefs opened the thermal cover to check the dish again, he was dumbfounded.

The dish that had been prepared and kept warm on the table, just waiting to be delivered with the other dishes, disappeared.
