The strongest fire master

Chapter 14 The Missing Ershu

"Because of his father?"

Kahn asked, he thought that the complicated that Ai Luo said was referring to the battle for the throne between Ao Zai and him.

Although Zu Kou may not know about this, but as the son of Ao Zai, he is in the vortex of power and cannot stay out of it, and Ao Zai's becoming the new Fire King will undoubtedly affect Zu Kou.

Ai Luo nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It is true that he may not be able to come out recently because of his father's relationship. But it may be another problem that has a deeper impact on Zuko."

"His mother, Ershu, is missing."

"Gone?"

Kahn was stunned for a moment, then repeated Ai Luo's words, "Missing? What do you mean?"

Although he only spent a short time with Ershu when he was playing at Zuko's house, he has a deep impression on Ershu.

In fact, he was not only impressed by Er Shu alone, but by everything that happened that day.

The eccentric Azura, the polite and loyal Zuko, the silent maid, and the strange way of getting along between Ershu and Azura, Zuko and Azura, Azura's weird and gloomy personality. Smiles and vicious ways of speaking, and Zuko's father Aozai who never appeared.
Of course, there is also the fire control technique that I agreed to teach him but has been delayed until now and there is no news.

Except for the last item, Kahn didn't think there was anything wrong when he was in it at first, but afterwards he always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with it, but there was an uncomfortable feeling, a sense of disobedience, and even a faint feeling of chills behind his back. , It seems to have peeked into some kind of taboo, which is like the abyss of human nature.

That night, Kahn had a nightmare, and the next morning, news came that Aozai had become the Fire King.

So Kahn regarded yesterday's discomfort and nightmare as a precursor to a sudden change in the palace, and did not investigate further.

And when Ai Luo mentioned Ershu, Kahn subconsciously recalled what he had seen and heard that day, and the very friendly Ershu who praised him well.

Er Shu, she must be a good person.

Ai Luo took a sip of tea, then said:

"Just like the literal meaning, disappeared. It is said that the day after my father's death, Er Shu mysteriously disappeared."

"Mysteriously disappeared? Could it be possible."

Kahn subconsciously felt that there was a conspiracy. After all, the time of Ershu's disappearance was too ambiguous. It happened to be the day when the old emperor passed away, the throne was replaced, and Aozai was elected.

Of course, this is just his intuitive judgment without any evidence.

That's how it's done on TV anyway.

Ai Luo seemed to know what Kahn was thinking, shook his head and said:
"The bottom line is just don't know, no one knows what's going on, what's going on."

However, he actually had some guesses in his mind.

There is really something hidden, and the only person who knows about it is probably his younger brother Aozai.

After all, it was his wife who disappeared, and he must have been the first to know about it. Moreover, he never showed any other emotions during the affairs of the previous few days, as if he didn't care about Er Shu's disappearance at all.

In other words, it seemed that everything was under his control.

In fact, he didn't know the news of Ershu's disappearance until not long ago, because he was completely involved in all kinds of messy things about the replacement of the throne before, and he was very passive, almost letting Ao Zai fiddle with him, and he also had to deal with his father. The emperor's funeral was too busy for a while.

In the end, he escaped from the vortex in an almost 'naked' embarrassment, and he relaxed after adjusting his mentality.

Only then did he think of Zuko and Kahn, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and was about to meet them, and then he learned the news of Ershu's disappearance.

It can be said that he is also in a state of confusion now, and everything is only based on guesswork.

But there is no need to tell Kahn about this speculation, it is too dangerous for him.

So Ai Luo decided to end the subject, saying:
"Apart from this matter, there is nothing else. You will probably be able to meet him in a few days."

"That's it."

Kahn nodded, and said, "I'm afraid Zuko has been very hard these days."

After all, my father suddenly became the emperor, and my mother mysteriously disappeared, and the whole life became a mess. Adults may not be able to bear the impact of this kind of change, let alone Zu Kou is still a child. Kou's position, I'm afraid he will be at a loss.

Ai Luo also felt a little bit emotional, and said:

"Yeah, so you need to comfort him when the time comes."

Kahn nodded, needless to say he would do it too, after all he now treats Zuko as his younger brother.

Speaking of which, there is another child in the same situation as Zuko, Azura.

Azura also left a deep impression on him, probably because it was the first time he saw a child with such a smelly mouth. Of course, he was also smart, very smart, and powerful and talented.

I just don't know why, my personality is a bit capricious, and I have an inexplicable sense of separation.

Regarding Azura, Kahn was also a little worried, but the direction of worry was different from that of Zuko.

Worrying about Zu Kou is more about his life safety. In the crisis period of power alternation, he is afraid that he will be killed accidentally. After all, he is the only son of Aozai, the current prince.

As for the impact of Ershu's disappearance on him, it was secondary to his life safety.

But worrying about Azura is the opposite, because he feels that with Azula's conditions, he should not have to worry about her life safety.Although his feeling is unreasonable.

In short, he was more worried about the impact of Ershu's disappearance on her.

Although the Azula he saw that day basically kept talking back to Er Shu, and Er Shu mostly reprimanded Azula, but there were still some details that proved the complicated relationship between Azula and Er Shu.

He vaguely felt that Ershu might be more special in Azula's heart than Zuko's, so he wondered whether Ershu's mysterious disappearance would affect her.

And when Kahn was thinking about Azura, Ai Luo seemed to mention her inadvertently, "Speaking of which, last time you went to Zuko's house to play, you should have seen Zuko's sister, right?"

"Azura? Of course, we were still playing together that day."

Kahn replied.

Ai Luo was a little surprised: "Are you playing together?"

Then he paused, and asked again: "What do you think of Azura's character?"

"Um"

Kahn pondered for a while, a little tangled, and finally concluded:
"She's a very special girl."

Kahn's answer was once again beyond Ai Luo's expectations.

"Special Girl"

Ai Luo repeated it, seemingly thoughtful, and then there was some emotion in his eyes: "Yes, special, indeed special. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe"

His voice became smaller and smaller, and Kahn didn't hear what he said later.

After Ai Luo came out of his emotions, he went on to say:

"You know what? She looks a lot like her father to me"
