Chapter 834 The unknown is the most dangerous
Jiju told Shao Xuan about the origin and background of this person. As for whether to see him or not, it is up to Shao Xuan himself to decide.
This old friend of Jiju is a member of the Yi family, named Yi Jie, and is Yi Cong's grandfather. After the Yi family had an accident, Yi Jie was seriously injured in an internal conflict and was taken over by Ji Ju to recuperate. Otherwise, staying in the Yi family with Yi Jie's situation would be a dead end.
Taking Shao Xuan to a place, Jiju opened the door and saw an old man with all white hair lying on the couch. He looked in a bad condition, weak and weak in breathing.
Seeing Shao Xuan coming, Yi Jie sat up with difficulty. Just the movement of sitting up took the boss's energy.
Shao Xuan looked at Yi Jie's expression, but did not see hatred in his eyes, but more of it was exploration.
It seemed that he could see Shao Xuan's doubts, Yi Jie smiled. The pain suffered by his family due to the civil war between him made this smile a little ugly. In addition, when facing Shao Xuan, Yi Jie's mood was already complicated and his expression was even more weird.
Yi Cong died in Yanjiao, and even there was a little Shao Xuan factor in Yi Qi's death. However, the more reason was that Yi Xiang and their Yi family were not as strong as others. If Shao Xuan was not there, more people would die at Yi Xiang's hands.
"I just want to ask...Yi Cong's affairs." Yi Jie spoke a little hard, very slowly, and his voice was not loud, but his words were clear, so Shao Xuan could hear it.
Shao Xuan came here for Ji Ju. Yi Jie has helped Ji Ju many times, especially when looking for crops. Yi Jie helped a lot and had a good relationship with Ji Ju. However, Shao Xuan did not expect that Yi Jie would mention Yi Cong's affairs so peacefully.
Although surprised, Shao Xuan still talked about Yi Cong's situation at that time, starting with Yi Cong's promise to remove Yanjie as a prisoner, and there was a subsequent transaction with Yi Cong.
Yi Cong can be considered suicide. He could survive, but he chose that way.
Yi Jie closed his eyes and listened to Shao Xuan's story, covering up all his emotions. When Shao Xuan finished speaking and opened it again, his eyes had calmed down.
After a few breaths slowly, Yi Jie said, "You are here in the royal city this time, will you be divining again?"
Shao Xuan looked at him in surprise, but did not deny it, "Yes."
"How?" After a pause, Yi Jie realized that he was a little vague and added, "About the divination results of the return journey."
"No divination."
"Divorceived failure? Or... it succeeded but had no results?" Yi Jie asked again.
"The latter." Even if the knot is successful, the knot cannot see any meaning, such as garbled code.
Now that the ability of divination has increased greatly, Shao Xuan can even divine the location of the Tuoqi, but cannot do anything about Bu back to the return journey. Shao Xuan has been puzzled, and he also felt that something was strange, but he can't find the answer yet.
In the divination before, the knot showed any danger beyond their abilities, but now, as we are getting closer and closer to the return journey, the result of the knotted divination is still the same, which is different from Shao Xuan's intuition.
Shao Xuan felt intuition was dangerous, and between intuition and the knot, he believed in intuition more. Intuition allowed him to avoid the life-threatening dangers he had experienced since childhood, and divination was just a skill learned from other tribes, and the Yi family was better at it than him.
This is also the reason why Shao Xuan did not want to stay in the royal city for a long time. His original plan was to let everyone in the Yan River Basin take a good look at the royal city, which would be beneficial to the future development of the Yan River Basin. Since he had ambitions, his vision could not be left in his small habitat. Only by recognizing himself can he go further, and excessive expansion would only destroy faster.
But after coming here, the feeling of increasing anxiety made Shao Xuan change his mind. During the dinner, Guihe and the others asked them to go back directly instead of taking them here to see the famous Jingu farm, and just asked them to go back and prepare, and they might have to leave early.
"The unknown is the most dangerous thing. Be careful when you travel!" Yi Jie stared at Shao Xuan's eyes and emphasized almost word by word, "The only ones who can change the results of divination are the Yi family!"
Now, the Yi family can achieve this level, and there is not a single one in the royal city!
Desert, Yi Xiang!
Shao Xuan met this name almost immediately. In fact, when he felt that the return journey would not go too smoothly, he had already thought about many possibilities, and he had also thought about how to deal with it after meeting Yi Xiang. Now Yi Jie's words were almost certain that the danger this time came from Yi Xiang.
Yi Jie couldn't help much what he could do. He didn't tell anything meaningful, but he was a member of the Yi family's head. He knew more and understood that someone might be deliberately interfering with it.
"That child is called Yice? OK, very good..." Yi Jie had tears in his eyes, but he didn't say anything extra. It was enough to know that Yice lived well in Yanjiao. It was not that he was satisfied with this, but because he was a member of the Yi family. Even if he could not divine now, he could infer more things based on what Shao Xuan said, and he could draw out Yice's current situation without asking more questions. The purpose of this meeting was completed.
Shao Xuan knew that Yi Jie had finished what he wanted to say to him, and that was mainly Yi Ce.
Not long after, Shao Xuan planned to go back overnight to see the situation in Yanjiao. Jiju didn't force himself and sent someone to send him into the city. At this time, the city gate was closed. Without Jiju's escort, Shao Xuan might not be able to enter the city easily.
After Shao Xuan left, Ji Ju thought about it and asked Yi Jie, "Do you really mind Yi Cong's death?"
Jiju knew how much Yi Jie cared about Yi Cong back then. In fact, the Yi family was a little bit lighter than other tribes. Among the many grandchildren, Yi Cong was valued by Yi Cong, of course because of Yi Cong's talent. Yi Cong was cultivated by Yi Jie and also placed great hope. Even Yi Jie thought about letting Yi Cong compete for the position of the head of the family in the future.
However, Yi Cong's death is a pity, and it also makes some young people in the Yi family secretly happy. They have lost one competitor and the person who has always surpassed them has finally gotten over.
Few people know that Yi Cong took his son out of the family and placed it in Yankou.
Yi Jie only found out about Yi Cong's arrangement later. At first, he didn't understand why Yi Cong did that, but later he calmed down and thought about it, and it became more and more transparent.
"It's fake to say I don't mind... but, in comparison, I agree with Yi Cong's approach. If I were the case, I would have made such a choice." Yi Jie said.
The great-grandson who had only met a brief one since he was born, naturally could not compare to Yi Cong who had been cultivated in his own hands. However, when Yi Jie became more and more clear, an emotion replaced all other resentment, grief, anger, and regret.
"Why?" Ji Ju didn't understand. It was obvious that Yi Cong could survive, but if he was there, Yi Ce could be someone to protect Yanjiao. As long as he was alive, he would always have a chance to return to the royal city. For example, this time, the contract between the royal city and Yanjiao. If Yi Cong was there, he could exchange conditions with Yanjiao when he came back. With Yi Cong's ability, it would not be difficult to do this.
"You don't understand." Yi Jie said softly, "I heard that the people of Yanjiao raise animals are looking for small beasts that are separated from the race and do not have mother beasts. The sooner they leave the race, the better. In that way, the tribes will believe it and get close to it."
This metaphor... Ji Ju complained in his heart that he compared his great-grandson with a wild beast?
Yi Jie didn't think anything, as long as he could let Ji Ju understand the reason in the simplest way.
After drinking the bowl of medicine, Yi Jie said: "You know Yi Cong's talent. When the former king sent troops to chase Yanjiao, Yi Cong followed him and encountered a bottleneck after coming back. I didn't understand why even Yi Cong had encountered such a situation, but now, I know the reason." He sighed, not knowing whether it was a pity for Yi Cong or regret.
After a while of silence, Yi Jie continued: "The ancestor of the Yi family is the person closest to the ancestor witch. Shao Xuan is not an ancestor witch, but it must be related to the ancestor witch. Yi Ce will definitely have his own opportunity when he stays near Shao Xuan, and this opportunity will soon change the future of the Yi family!
That is... the hope for the rise of my Yi family!
"Yi Ce... I really want to see him. I will have to endure until the day when Yi Ce returns to the Yi family!" Yi Jie's eyes showed a crazy look.
If something happened to Shao Xuan, then all his hopes would be broken, and Yi Ce would not be the Yi Ce he expected.
All predictions are based on Shao Xuan's ability to return to Yanhe safely.
Therefore, Yi Jie overdraws divination when he is seriously injured.
That's why we met today.
Yi Jie's condition is very bad, and even overdrawn and divination several times under serious injury. Ji Ju once thought Yi Jie was looking for death, and it might not even last long. But now looking at Yi Jie's situation, Yi Jie's survival is still very strong.
Seeing Yi Jie's excitement and growling, Ji Ju shook his head. If you want to be crazy, no one is more crazy than the Yi family.
In the palace.
Jishou carefully talked to Ji Fang about what happened on the street today, and focused on Gan Qi. This was the second person besides Shao Xuan, who made him feel threatened.
"The people from Yanjiao and those in the Yanhe River Basin cooperated well." Jishou has to admit this, and he is quite envious, because the six tribes of the royal city were still tacitly at the beginning of their founding, but as time passed, differences became increasingly greater and conflicts continued, and the consequences of the Yi family were an example.
"Yes, we cooperate very well. As long as Shao Xuan is here, they will continue to expand." Ji Fang said.
"Why should Shao Xuan exist?" Ji Shou was also depressed.
"Indeed, why does the man Shao Xuan exist in Yanjiao?" Ji Fang agreed, and then smiled again, "Whether there is this person in Yanjiao in the future depends on whether they can go back safely this time."
They are making a contract, but if they don’t attack Yanjiao, will there be no one else? For example, someone in the desert.
To establish a contract with Yanjiao, Ji Fang planned to join forces with Yanjiao to guard against the desert. It would be even better if both sides could suffer losses. (To be continued.)
