Chapter 1377 No trace
The banquet was not too late. Chu Huan drank the sobering soup all night. When the guests said goodbye, they said goodbye one by one. When the guests dispersed, the lively and noisy Governor's Mansion finally calmed down.
Although Qiu Ruxue drank a lot of wine, he was not drunk yet.
Tonight is the wedding night, Chu Huan did not relax his vigilance, and asked Qiu Ruxue to arrange for people to be on duty all night inside and outside the Governor's Mansion. He was afraid that some people with ulterior motives would suddenly come while on the wedding night.
Chu Huan did not forget his enemies, not only those on the surface, but also on the surface.
Zhu Lingyue and Xiao Huanzhang on the surface were nothing more than fighting each other on the battlefield, but the secret schemes were hard to guard against. He did not forget Zhu Lingyue and the anti-traitor hall. Who can guarantee that Zhu Lingyue would not take the opportunity to send the anti-traitor hall to Shuoquan.
The one who alerted Chu Huan the most were the three secret soldiers.
There are many people under the Qingtian King, and he already knows that Qingtian King plans on Dai'er's red stone. Although he failed in the previous episode, who can guarantee that Qingtian King will not send someone to make a comeback?
There is also the prince's men. The King of Qi came to Xiguan. Although Chu Huan is currently confidential and has not even attended the wedding of the King of Qi, the prince will naturally know that the King of Qi is in Xiguan.
The prince's men were not without strange people, and the prince was uneasy, and the prince was uneasy. It was not impossible for him to send someone to come to Shuoquan secretly. So a few days ago, after Bai Xiaozi and others returned to Shuoquan, Chu Huan immediately transferred Bai Xiaozi to the mansion where King Qi lived and arranged a lot of good players to protect the safety of King Qi. Even tonight, Bai Xiaozi could not attend the wedding, but defended him on the side of King Qi.
As for the last journey, Chu Huan still doesn't know their true origins.
When Chu Huan thought of the strange dwarf like a monkey, she felt a little furry. She ran away before and met the dwarf and his group of people in the dilapidated temple.
The subordinates sent to the northwest were almost wiped out by the slaughter of the dwarfs. This shows that the ability of these people is really great.
From Chaowu Peak in the Guifang of Anyi to the ruined temple in the northwest, the dwarfs are still in dispersed, like ghosts, which makes Chu Huan very cautious in his usual care.
Of course, Chu Huan would not be afraid of the dwarf's martial arts. Indeed, the dwarf's martial arts are indeed amazing, but Chu Huan's martial arts cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds, and he may not be defeated by the dwarf.
But the dwarf was like a ghost, and Chu Huan could not tell when he would appear and how he would appear.
The dwarf is not a warrior, but an assassin!
Chu Huan knew that the purpose of the dwarf was [The Demon Suppressing Mantra]. As far as he knew, the one who was bound to win the [The Demon Suppressing Mantra] was the Xiliang national teacher, Visar, but he could not determine whether the dwarf was the Visar.
In the Western Liang Dynasty, before his death, Changmei Ashi said that as long as Chu Huan knew the [Demon Suppression Mantra], there would be no peace, and there would be someone who would linger Chu Huan like a ghost.
Now it seems that Ashido is not wrong.
At least the dwarf is like a disgusting nightmare, which has entangled Chu Huan.
After the banquet ended, Chu Huan had a lot to do next. The four brides, Chu Huan, had to go to each bridal chamber to complete another series of cumbersome etiquette.
However, Mei Niang tampered with tea while serving tea. The four brides and three could not get up. According to Mei Niang, it would take at least three or five hours to wake up. It was not until dawn. There was no way. Su Niang and the other three could only avoid the wedding ceremony. Only Mei Niang, a sober bride, had to continue this etiquette.
Mei Niang's yard was full of joy. Halfway through the etiquette, Qi Hong came over quickly and it was difficult to interrupt the wedding ceremony immediately. When the ceremony was over and everyone was about to leave the wedding ceremony, Qi Hong then grabbed a Xi Po and whispered a few words. The Xi Po went over and whispered a few words to Chu Huan. Chu Huan came out and asked, "Where is the person?"
Qi Hong whispered a few words, and Chu Huan and Qi Hong hurried to the backyard. There was a pavilion in the backyard, and a figure was already waiting there. Chu Huan walked over quickly. When the man heard the sound, he saw Chu Huan coming, he hurriedly came up, wearing a light gray coarse cloth cloak and a cloak. Chu Huan stepped forward, his hands were already folded, but the other party also folded his hands and sang the Buddha's yell.
"Master Leyin, it's so late, why are you here?" Chu Huan looked solemn, "Is there something wrong?"
The one who was waiting in the pavilion was actually a female nun.
The nun looked over fifty years old, with wrinkles on his forehead, and his eyes looked very anxious, without the tranquility of a monk, and said together: "Mr. Chu, the female donor is gone!"
Chu Huan's brows became even tighter, "Are you missing?"
The nun said, "After evening class, Pomni went there and wanted to ask the female donor what she needed, but there was no trace of the female donor in the house, but her things were still there." After saying that, he turned around and picked up a package from the stone table in the pavilion and presented it to Chu Huan, "In addition to changing clothes, the female donor's scimitar also remained in the house."
Chu Huan took the package, opened it and took a look, walked to the stone table, and sat down on the stone bench, "Master Leyin, when was the last time you saw her?"
"It's dinner time." Master Leyin said: "The master has instructed that the female donor stay in this temple and should not tell others, so Poini is very careful. The female donor's food and drink are sent by Poini in person."
Chu Huan nodded slightly, pondered slightly, and asked again: "Master, are you sure that the other masters in your temple don't know about this?"
Master Le Yin shook his head and said, "Sir, I have only five people in Mingxia Temple. I never talk too much, and I have never told them about this."
Chu Huan's expression was even more serious, "This is strange, would she leave by herself?"
Qi Hong was also beside him at this time and whispered: "Sir, I think it's impossible. If... if she really wanted to leave, why didn't she even bring a package? It would be fine to change clothes. This knife is her weapon with her, so it's impossible to leave it alone."
"You are right." Chu Huan nodded and said, "Qi Hong, go to Mingxia Temple with your master now. Remember, don't alarm anyone in this matter. Go to the scene to see if there are any traces."
Qi Hong bowed his hands and said nothing, and led Master Yin out of the backyard.
Chu Huan sat in the pavilion and did not leave, but thoughtful.
The female donor mentioned by Master Leyin was naturally Gan Yuting, the sister of Gan Hou. Gan Yuting was very opposed to his brother getting married with the Zhu family. He secretly arrived in Shuoquan from the Northwest Camp not far from a hundred miles away to inform Zhu Lingyue that he wanted to marry Gan Hou.
Chu Huan knew that this matter was very difficult and there was no good way to deal with it. However, Gan Yujiao had an idea for Chu Huan and was willing to hide in Shuoquan for the time being. As long as Gan Hou could not get married, this marriage would be difficult to achieve.
Chu Huan thought about it, but he also felt that it was the best way to do it now.
In order to allow Gan Yujiao to hide in secret, Chu Huan searched for it himself and finally found Mingxia Temple where Master Le Yin was located.
The Qin Empire admired Taoism and suppressed Buddhism and vigorously suppressed Buddhism. It was difficult to see famous temples and ancient temples in the pass, but in the northwest, the impact was not as serious as that in the pass, especially in the near Gyeonggi.
However, worshipping Taoism and suppressing Buddhism was the religious strategy of the empire. Although the northwest was suppressed and the inside was severely under the control of the people, many famous ancient temples were destroyed after all. Xiguan was invaded by the Xiliang invasion, and the few temples left were destroyed.
There are many temples in Shuoquan City, and there are temples where nuns are reciting. After the people of Xiliang retreated, there were only three temples left in the city. As for the temples where nuns practiced, there were only two. Mingxia Temple is one of them. It is located in a remote place in the northern city of Shuoquan. The people of Xiguan now have no meals. Whether it is the temple of monks or the temple of nuns, there is almost no incense.
There were originally twenty or thirty nuns in Mingxia'an, but there were too many nuns, and they would starve to death if they stayed. There was no way, so they could only return to secular life and find another way to survive. Those who stayed in the temple, the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the young, had no ability to survive alone, so they could only stay. Now there are only five people, and occasionally there are a few pilgrims who hold on without a single meal.
Originally, Mingxia Temple had reached the end of the road, but Chu Huan came to the door in time and donated a sum of incense money, which made Mingxia Temple very grateful. Chu Huan discussed with the host of Mingxia Temple alone that he wanted to hide alone in the temple for a while. He only said that he was a very bumpy girl. The monks were compassionate, and Chu Huan donated a sum of incense money, so Master Leyin naturally agreed.
Chu Huan chose Mingxia Temple because it is located in a remote place and there are few people all day long. In addition, it is because there are few people in the temple, and the elderly and weak are young, which is very safe.
But he never expected that Gan Yujiao would suddenly disappear if he hid Gan Yujiao in a secret place like Mingxia Temple.
Chu Huan knew that if it weren't for sure that Gan Yujiao was indeed not in Mingxia'an, it would be impossible for Master Le Yin to come to find him on his wedding night in the middle of the night.
He privately instructed Master Yin in the moment, but there were special circumstances, no matter when, he would come and report it.
Without confirming that Gan Yujiao is missing, Master Leyin could not come from the North City to the East City. She secretly reported the news that she must have found every corner of Mingxia'an.
Gan Yujiao voluntarily stayed in Mingxia Temple to hide, and it was impossible for her to leave suddenly for no reason. Moreover, even if she left herself, she would definitely bring her own sword, and it was impossible for her to leave even the sword.
If nothing unexpected happens, Gan Yujiao can only be kidnapped by someone. She can quietly rob Gan Yujiao of the nun without disturbing Mingxia's nun. The other party's methods are naturally not weak.
But Chu Huan really couldn't think of what was wrong with him.
The ones who are most concerned about Gan Yujiao's whereabouts are nothing more than Gan Hou and Zhu Lingyue. If Gan Hou was Gan Hou, Chu Huan believed that if he really found Gan Yujiao in Mingxia Temple, he might not have left quietly. He was very likely to come to the Governor's Mansion and come to the door to question the crime.
This technique is actually like the ones who did it by Zhu Lingyue.
But how could Zhu Lingyue know that Gan Yujiao would be in Mingxia Temple? Gan Yujiao came to Shuoquan, which was extremely secret, and Chu Huan then tried his best to ensure the secret of Gan Yujiao's whereabouts. Zhu Lingyue would not even know that Gan Yujiao was in Shuoquan, so how could he accurately judge that Gan Yujiao would hide in Mingxia Temple, and even sent someone to kidnap on his wedding night?
But if it weren't for Zhu Lingyue, who would be interested in Gan Yujiao's whereabouts?
