When Diao Chan answered Sun Quan, many people in the room looked over. There is curiosity, teasing, ridicule, and disappointment. In fact, now that Dong Zhuo has forced Emperor Xian to move the capital to Chang'an, in Luoyang City, apart from Dong Zhuo's people, the one who is most likely to save Diao Chan is Jiang Dongjun! Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be some stragglers or hermits, but unfortunately, Diao Chan's answer did not satisfy any of their luck.
"So, the thing is in Sun Jian's hands now?" Shi Zimiao said calmly. In fact, seeing that Shi Zimiao didn't ask anything when Diao Chan came back before and still sat there reciting sutras with peace of mind, we knew that the master of Cihang Jingzhai was a very stable person. It wasn't that she didn't know what was happening, nor was she unaware of the seriousness of the matter, but she was able to suppress her eager heart. Because Shi Zimiao knew that the more hastily the more chaotic things become, and the more hastily the easier it is to make mistakes.
Don’t use your real eyes to judge right and wrong, but use your heart’s eyes to judge the world! Shi Zimiao, who did not open his eyes, was considered to be the most fair, rational, impartial, moderate, and extreme person in the world, and the most reasonable person in his actions and decisions!
Shi Zimiao's words made Diao Chan tremble. Sure enough, Shi Zimiao knew everything before she reported it, although Diao Chan never dared to hide it from the beginning to the end. Cihang Jingzhai's intelligence network was so terrifying that what Diao Chan had access to was just the tip of the iceberg. Diao Chan believed that Dong Zhuo must have someone from Cihang Jingzhai's side. As soon as she stole the imperial seal, the intelligence It will definitely be sent back. Even within Jiangdong Army and around Sun Jian, there may be people from Cihang Jingzhai.
Thinking of this, Diao Chan's eyes moved. Why was Shi Zimiao obsessed with Sun Quan earlier? Could it be that he knew some information that outsiders didn't know? So this person must be the core figure around Sun Jian. Who could it be?
"yes."
Diao Chan answered Shi Zimiao's question while thinking about it. After speaking, she immediately added,
"But Sun Quan promised that he would bring the imperial seal here within three days."
(Sun Quan:??? When did I agree?)
Of course, Diao Chan regretted saying this. She didn't know why she blurted it out. She probably just wanted to say a few good words for Sun Quan in the school. But if you think about it carefully, Diao Chan believes that Sun Quangui believes in Sun Quan, but does that mean that Sun Quan can bring the imperial seal? The biggest difficulty lies with Sun Jian!
If Sun Quan fails to bring the imperial seal within three days, how will Cihang Jingzhai view Sun Quan? A cunning liar?
"Hmph! Ridiculous!"
On the spot, someone sneered and sneered at Diao Chan's words. This man sat two seats below Shi Zimiao. He was middle-aged and an elder from the inner sect of Cihang Jingzhai. In terms of seniority, he was even above Shi Zimiao. No wonder he dared to speak directly in front of Shi Zimiao.
"Diao Chan! You must remember that you are Cihang Jingzhai's disciple!" Elder Jing said coldly. There are four elders in the inner gate of Cihang Jingzhai, namely "Jing", "Shou", "Xu" and "Wu". These four characters are code names rather than names. The four people are in charge of the internal affairs of Cihang Jingzhai and are the core of the core.
However, due to the influence of the imperial power, the internal forces of Cihang Jingzhai were complicated, especially among several elders. The position of "Jing" has been controlled by the Queen's lineage for many years. She controls the economic lifeline of Cihang Jingzhai. To a certain extent, she is a very powerful person.
Originally, after the young emperor ascended the throne, Tang Ji, the daughter of the Tang family, was designated as the queen, and Elder Jing became somewhat close to the Tang family in private. He hates the house and the bird, and he disliked Diao Chan from the beginning. Now, although the Young Emperor is dead, it stands to reason that Tang Ji is no longer the queen, but firstly, the newly appointed Emperor Xian has not yet been recognized by most of the princes, and secondly, Elder Jing has already had a bad relationship with Diao Chan.
As an elder, might she surrender herself to seek peace? Elder Jing only knows one way to go to the end! If she seizes the opportunity, she will not let Diao Chan go.
"Reply to the elder! Diao Chan knows very well that she is a disciple of Cihang Jingzhai, that's why Sun Quan brought the Imperial Seal here!" Diao Chan answered calmly, her logic was very clear. Although Elder Jing made unkind remarks and even hinted that Diaochan's elbow was turned outward, Diaochan had a clear conscience. If her elbow was really turned outward, would she still let Sun Quan bring the Jade Seal?
The Imperial Seal was not Cihang Jingzhai’s. Although Jiang Dongjun took advantage of it, there was no reason why he had to hand it over! Diao Chan would rather have a rift in her relationship with Sun Quan. Why would she? !
"So, what you mean is not that your elbow is turned outward, but that Sun Quan's elbow is turned toward our Cihang Jingzhai? Then you Diao Chan are really good at it." Elder Jing mocked, and as he spoke, his eyes He glanced at Diao Chan's tattered clothes, "Some people don't know what shameless means they used, and I don't know if my Cihang Jingzhai's face has been completely disgraced by her!"
"Elder Jing!" Diao Chan glared angrily. It's okay to be bullied, but she will never tolerate this slander!
"What? Did you hit a painful spot?" Elder Jing also glared, looking at Diao Chan with a gunpowder-filled look.
"That's enough." Shi Zimiao, who was sitting in the chair, shouted softly and stopped the two of them, "Are you trying to let the world see our Cihang Jingzhai joke?"
"Disciple doesn't dare!" Diao Chan quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake. Elder Jing smiled coldly, closed his eyes and said no more words.
"Diao Chan." Shi Zimiao spoke again.
"The disciple is here."
"Logically speaking, your words have a strong personal bias, and I shouldn't believe you." Shi Zimiao said. Diao Chan was willing to believe Sun Quan, but Shi Zimiao couldn't believe it. It's not that Sun Quan couldn't be believed, but that he couldn't believe it. Others didn't know Sun Quan well enough.
Diao Chan looked at Shi Zimiao in surprise. In fact, Diao Chan had no hope that others would believe her, but what Shi Zimiao meant was that. . . . . .
Sure enough, just listen to Shi Zimiao continue,
"But, since Sun Quan will let you go this time, regardless of whether this is his own unauthorized action, I am willing to wait for him for three days."
I see.
Everyone at the scene understood what Shi Zimiao meant. They were also surprised at first, but Shi Zimiao was indeed Shi Zimiao. She was the calmest and could often see through the essence of things best.
If Sun Jian really wanted to hide Jade Seal, they would never let Diao Chan go. They might even kill someone and silence her, and put the blame on Dong Zhuo. But now that Diao Chan is back safe and sound, does this mean that Sun Jian has a clear conscience and is not afraid of others knowing that he has the jade seal?
Of course, it is not ruled out that Sun Quan secretly let people go without telling Sun Jian. But since Sun Quan could do this for Diao Chan, it shows that his feelings for Diao Chan are not fake, so Sun Quan's promise to return the jade seal within three days can be believed.
However, that is just belief. Just like Diao Chan thought early in the morning, it doesn't matter what Sun Quan really thinks. The most important thing is Sun Jian. If Sun Jian was unwilling, could Sun Quan steal the Imperial Seal?
So, three days! Only three days!
After three days, Shi Zimiao will take the necessary words.
Then, Shi Zimiao stopped asking about the imperial seal, as if the matter had completely passed. Shi Zimiao asked Diao Chan about Liu Bei.
"Based on your brief contact this time, what do you think of Liu Bei and Liu Xuande?"
"Liu Bei?" Diao Chan thought for a moment and replied seriously, "He is a man of righteousness and the pillar of Han Dynasty!"
Over there, Elder Jing and Elder Wu, who had been silent before, opened their eyes and then closed them.
