Mingxia Temple is a distance from the Governor's Mansion, and Qi Hong can't come back for a while. Although Chu Huan is full of thoughts, it was her wedding night after all, and she finally returned to Mei Niang's yard.

The etiquette has ended, and it will be the wedding night.

Having such a beauty waiting in the bridal chamber is naturally a very pleasant thing for any man. The erotic scene in it is naturally shameful.

After the wedding ceremony and Mei Niang fell asleep tiredly, Chu Huan got up, packed up her quilt for Mei Niang, and left the bridal chamber. Qi Hong had already returned from Mingxia Temple.

Chu Huan took Qi Hong to the study room. Qi Hong had already taken out a small paper bag, opened it carefully, and placed it in front of Chu Huan. Chu Huan looked at the paper bag with a pile of gray stains as big as a nail in the paper bag, as if it was the residue from the burnt thing. He looked at Qi Hong with a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Du Chu, the room where Miss Gan lives is indeed very hidden." Qi Hong said softly: "I have checked the room and there are indeed no signs of fighting, but Bei Zhi knows that Miss Gan disappears at this time. There are only two possibilities: either leave by herself or is kidnapped. If she leaves by herself, with Miss Gan's skills, the nuns in Mingxia'an cannot find it, but her sabre cannot be left there, so the biggest possibility is that someone discovers Miss Gan's hiding place and kidnaps her away."

Chu Huan said: "If someone hijacked her, Gan Yujiao would not surrender. With her temperament, she would not surrender easily. There will inevitably be traces of fighting in the house, and it will definitely alarm several masters in the temple."

"The same is true for Beizhi." Qi Hong said softly: "If someone really comes to kidnap Miss Gan, they will definitely be afraid. Shuoquan is the territory of the adults after all, and they always have to be careful here. Beizhi thought about it and wanted to kidnap Miss Gan without disturbing others, so they had to poison it."

"Poison?"

"Miss Gan hides in the temple and will definitely be cautious. She will poison her food and easily find her." Qi Hong looked solemn, "So Bei Zhi thought about whether it was the enemy who casts a scent incense into the house!"

"Miscellaneous fragrance?" Chu Huan looked at the residue in the paper bag on the table, and came closer to smell it. It was indeed a strange fragrance, but the fragrance was no longer strong. He looked up and asked, "Is this the fragrance you found?"

"This was found by Bei Zhi on the edge of the window frame at the window." Qi Hong said: "The window paper has been poked a small hole. The residue of the fragrance is right next to the hole. If Bei Zhi guessed well, the other party must have poked the fragrance on the window paper first, and then lit the fragrance on the window frame. The fragrance floated into the house. Miss Gan was caught in the fragrance. She didn't know the situation, so she was quietly kidnapped!"

Chu Huan nodded, there was physical evidence here, and Qi Hong's guess was naturally very reasonable.

"Sir, Miss Gan hides in Mingxia Temple. Apart from the adults, only Bei Zhi knows...!" Qi Hong said this, his eyes were slightly embarrassed. But before he could finish speaking, Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to think about it. If you believe you, you won't let you know at that time."

Qi Hong showed gratitude, but frowned, "This matter is extremely cautious and dared not make a word, but why would anyone know where Miss Gan is hiding?"

Chu Huan thought for a while before saying, "Maybe the so-called anti-traitor hall under Zhu Lingyue has been lurking in Shuoquan, and they have received news...!"

"Sir, the Hall of Treacherous Evils sounds nice, but it is actually just some mobs and desperados in the world." Qi Hong said: "They are not gods, so it is impossible for you to know everything. We are very careful to hide Miss Gan. If the Hall of Treacherous Evils wants to know the whereabouts of Miss Gan so quickly, they don't have that great ability...!"

Chu Huan thoughtfully and suddenly said softly: "Master Leyin said that she last met Miss Gan at dinner. There were three meals a day in Mingxia'an. There were fixed time for three meals a day. When they were dinner, the city gates were closed and no one could go out."

Qi Hong's eyes lit up, "By the way, even if they are kidnapped, after the city gate is closed, they have no way to take Miss Gan out of the city... Chu Du, the city gate will not be opened for another three hours. We will send someone to block the city gate now. After the city gate opens, they will definitely find a way to leave the city. If we intercept each city gate, they will definitely be unable to fly."

"Miss Gan is of great importance." Chu Huan knew the serious consequences of Gan Yujiao falling to Gan Hou's alive. "Qi Hong, I will draw the portrait of Miss Gan now. You will ride a fast horse to notify the captains of Shuoquan City of the city to remember the appearance of Miss Gan. After opening the city, all the people and vehicles leaving the city must be carefully inspected. Don't let someone take Miss Gan out of the city. In addition, I will inform Qiu Ruxue and ask him to take people to secretly search the whole city. By the way, the person named Zhu Qingye, who has joined him and is willing to listen to his orders, can also be used. Zhu Qingye has many people under his command, and they are very familiar with the gaps and corners of Shuoquan City, so they spread a net and secretly search in the city."

"Nizhi will go down and tell Qiu Ruxue."

"Remember, let them not be arrogant. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Don't make the city panic because of this." Chu Huan instructed: "After you inform Qiu Ruxue, come and get the painting!"

Qi Hong then bowed down.

By dawn, Chu Huan had no time to see his wives who were confused by Mei Niang's medicine, but found Pei Ji. Pei Ji had just gotten up and had not washed up yet. When he saw Chu Huan coming, he washed his face casually. Seeing Chu Huan's expression solemn, he couldn't help but say, "Second brother, last night was your wedding night, why did he get up so early? Did he encounter something?"

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment and finally said straight to the point: "Brother, Miss Gan is missing!"

Pei Ji was stunned. Chu Huan told Pei Ji about what happened last night. Pei Ji frowned, "If this is the case, things will be in trouble."

"The one who cares most about this marriage is Zhu Lingyue, but Zhu Lingyue will know that Gan Yujiao is no longer in the Northwest Camp?" Chu Huan said in confusion: "Miss Gan disappeared from the Northwest Camp. Gan Hou must be anxious. Could it be that he would tell Zhu Lingyue the news?"

"This matter is already very complicated." Pei Ji said: "Not whether Zhu Lingyue knows it, second brother, I ask you, except Zhu Lingyue and Gan Hou, who would care about the whereabouts of Miss Gan at this time?"

"It seems like there is no one else."

"So if Miss Gan is really kidnapped, except for Marquis of Gan, there is only Zhu Lingyue." Pei Ji said seriously: "No matter who it is, as long as Miss Gan falls into their hands, the marriage between Zhu and Gan families will become a reality..." He pondered slightly, "No, I will rush to Hezhou immediately. If their marriage really happens, the situation in Hezhou will become serious."

Chu Huan said: "Brother, do you mean Zhu Lingyue will send troops at any time?"

Pei Ji nodded and said, "That's natural. With the help of Gan Hou, Zhu Lingyue had no scruples anymore. Moreover, the main force of our Xiguan Army is now in a stalemate with the Beishan Army on the southern front. The western front has weak forces. Zhu Lingyue has the confidence and may not have taken the opportunity to come over." He had already walked out of the door and ordered to his followers: "Come, pack all the books I have prepared, find a carriage, and set off for Hezhou today."

Chu Huan stood up and said helplessly: "There are two days left to New Year's Eve. I thought my elder brother would leave after New Year's Eve..."

"When I came back, I planned the same way." Pei Ji sighed: "But the situation now cannot be tolerated. Second brother, after New Year's Eve, a big battle between us in Xiguan is inevitable. You and my brother, I am afraid that it will take a while to see each other. Take care of yourself. Don't worry, since I am there, I will do everything to resist Zhu Lingyue!"

"Brother, please take care of yourself." Chu Huan bowed.

Pei Ji gently patted Chu Huan's shoulder, "I can't say much, I need to clean up quickly. I will feel at ease when I arrive in Hezhou early..."

Although it was the first day after the wedding, Chu Huan couldn't have leisure time. He asked Wei Wuji, the head of the Ministry of Revenue Department, and asked about the food and grass. Qi Hong came to report it several times. From morning to dusk, Shuoquan's sects were strictly inspected, and Gan Yujiao's whereabouts were never found. As for the people who were Qiu Ruxue, who cast nets all over the city and searched everywhere, they still found nothing.

For the next two consecutive days, there was still no news about Gan Yujiao. Gan Yujiao did not welcome him, but the New Year was ushered in.

On New Year's Eve, Shuoquan City was decorated with lights everywhere, and the Governor's Mansion was also lively. Although Chu Huan was worried, he did not want to influence the whole mansion with his emotions.

Shuoquan City is immersed in the festive atmosphere of New Year's Eve. The distant capital Luo'an is also a kind of singing and dancing to peace. In the prosperous capital, it is difficult to feel the smoke of the empire.

In the past many years, even if the capital was singing and dancing, the Prince's Mansion was always relatively deserted. This year, like in previous years, the Prince's Mansion was not very lively. But everyone knows that today is different from the past. The Prince's Mansion was deserted only because the prince was at a low point and the deposed words were known to the court and the country. Few people were willing to visit the Prince's Mansion, even the prince's party members, and they tried to keep a low profile at the command of the prince.

However, this year, there are so many people who want to visit the mansion, but the prince issued a clear order that the officials of each department will handle the matters and cannot be solved. The officials of each department can write a memorial. As for private matters, the prince is now a state-regulator and selfless matters can be discussed.

Outside the prince's mansion, the prince was guarding. In the gorgeous hall in the mansion, the prince leaned on the soft couch, holding a wine cup and swayed gently, watching Mrs. Liuli's graceful figure dancing in front of him like a nine-day fairy, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

For the prince, New Year's Eve is no different from usual.

Liuli's dance posture is like an immortal. This dance is only available in heaven, and it is rare to see it in the world.

After the dance, the prince waved his hand, and moved his glass lotus step to the prince. He picked up the gold wine pot on the table and added wine to the prince. However, the prince handed over the wine cup and smiled and said, "Come on, you can drink a drink too!"

Liuli smiled brightly and said, "Your Highness seems to be in a good mood tonight?" He took the wine cup, took a sip, and then handed it back to the prince with both hands. The prince took the wine cup, stared at Liuli's national and beautiful face, and sighed, "For so many years, every year, you can dance a song for me at this time of year. Liuli, can you still watch you dance with a long sleeve at this time of year?"—

ps: I checked out in Hefei yesterday, and the decoration was completed. I came back late, so I updated it too late.

After more than three months of decoration, there are many trivial matters. Now I realize that decoration is not easy, but I have learned a lot. Who can decorate in the future? Can you chat with me privately, everyone can communicate, haha
Chapter completed!
