Chapter 3: The Disappearance of the Child

At the gate of the palace, Dong stopped and stared back at the door. Her eyes were a little dazed, this place where she has lived for half her life, I am afraid that she will not have a chance to come in again in the future.

After a long time, Dong sighed, suddenly turned around and said, "Let's go!"

"Madame, please!"

Zhuge Wen stretched out his right arm and made a gesture of please, guiding Dong and Chu Yunfeng towards the carriage that had been prepared.

"Madame, please stay!"

Zhuge Wen had just lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a sharp voice came from the palace gate, and his tone was very urgent.

Looking back, it was a palace man about forty years old who ran out of the palace gate.

"Husband... Madam, "The palace people are in a hurry, and they are a little out of breath, "Let's go slowly, the king is invited!"

"This..."

Zhuge Wen's heart sank, could it be that the king had changed his mind and was unwilling to let go of Dong's mother and son?

Dong shook his head, signaling him not to be nervous.

If the king of Chutan temporarily changed his hexagram, there would not be only such a palace person chased out at this time, but a group of guards. Looking at the eager appearance of the palace people, Dong suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Let's go!"

didn't have time to think about it, Dong immediately made up his mind.

......

......

In the Qianyang Palace, King Chutan was anxious and was pacing back and forth.

Hearing the footsteps outside the hall, he hurriedly walked out without waiting for the palace people to summon the message.

"Mother..."King Chutan was about to call out the word "Queen Mother", but suddenly remembered that the Dong family was no longer the queen, but now was not the time to dwell on this, "Queen Mother, the big thing is not good!

"What?"

Dong's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

That's bad!

"When?" Dong forced his composure.

Things have already happened, and it's useless to rush. The most important thing is to find the two children first.

"Half an hour ago, when the people in the imperial dining room went to deliver the food, they were still there. King Chutan replied.

Dong Shi thought for a while, and immediately decided: "Immediately block the city gate, no one is allowed to enter, not out!"

In half an hour, in order to hide people's eyes, even if you go out of the palace, it is impossible to get out of the city gate.

At this time, Prime Minister Wang Hetang also walked into the main hall.

Before he could greet King Chutan, Dong's cold gaze swept over: "Hmph! Look at the good things you have done!"

Wang Hetang is the head of the Wang family, the head of the four major families of the Chu State. In addition to being in the position of Zaifu, he is also the uncle of the Qin family, the mother of the King of Chutan.

In order to assist King Chutan to seize the throne, he took down Quan Longzhe and Liang Fengxuan, forcing the Quan family and the Liang family to submit.

Wang Hetang's face was dark, and he didn't expect to be reprimanded by this woman who had lost her power as soon as he entered the palace. Doesn't she know where she is?

It's just that King Chutan is beside him, and he can't say anything.

King Chutan roughly told Wang Hetang about the general situation, and then ordered him to carry out the search order.

......

......

As the saying goes: Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

Just when King Chutan was trying his best to find the whereabouts of the two children, a terrifying news came from the Quan Liang family: the immortal chief had returned and asked to see the two children immediately.

The news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and King Chutan suddenly sat down on the dragon chair.

Finished!

He was cold, and he didn't know how to give an explanation to the immortal chief.

And Wang Hetang, who was Zaifu, had a pale face, and he was even more staggered, almost fainting in fright.

Using two children to blackmail the Quan family and the Liang family was not only his idea, but also his execution. In other words, he's the real culprit.

The most important thing at the moment is to drag the fairy chief first, and then lean the whole country to find the child.

However, this idea of King Chutan was immediately vetoed by the Dong family.

The Immortal Chief's side will definitely not be able to delay, and the King of Chutan must personally go to explain and gain a certain amount of time.

King Chutan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to see the immortal chief.

Half an hour later, King Chutan finally arrived at the Quan Mansion.

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw an old man in his fifties sitting on the main seat.

Next to the old man, a middle-aged man in his forties was accompanied.

This middle-aged man is the head of the Quan family, Ren Lingnian.

As the first leader of the Quan family, Quan Lingnian should have the posture of a superior person, but at this time, he was respectfully serving beside the old man.

King Chutan observed the words and immediately guessed the identity of the old man. He didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Chu Tan to meet the immortal chief!"

The old man, dressed in green clothes, took a sip of tea quite indifferently, suddenly frowned, and threw the teacup on the coffee table.

"You are the Emperor of this mortal realm?"

The old man spoke in a tone without the slightest emotion, and he didn't even raise his head.

"Immortal Forgiveness!"

The old man's bland words made King Chutan feel a lot of pressure.

From that indifferent look in his eyes, King Chutan had no doubt that the other party could pinch him to death with a single slap.

"Two children suddenly disappeared more than an hour ago, and I have ordered people to seal off the city gate and do everything in their power to find them. Please forgive me some time!"

King Chutan didn't dare to hide it at the moment and told the truth. He didn't even notice that he was already in a cold sweat when he spoke.

As soon as he heard that the child was missing, a cold light suddenly burst out in the old man's eyes.

Immediately after, I saw him squint his eyes and pinch his fingers with his left hand. After a moment's relief, he opened his eyes.

"Hmph, for the sake of the child's safety, I'll give you three days. ”

King Chutan had no chance to defend himself at all, so he was invited out.

The disappearance of the two children shattered the peaceful life of the people of the capital.

It is not unheard of in the past when the whole city has been under martial law, but this time it seems that the scale is a little too large.

Except for Prime Minister Wang Hetang personally leading the team to inspect, all the officials of the DPRK and China, large and small, were mobilized.

Soon, two and a half days passed, but all walks of life did nothing.

Seeing that the three-day deadline was approaching, there was still no trace of the child, and King Chutan was anxious.

He paced up and down the main hall, listening to the messages from passers-by along the way, and his heart was burning.

On the other side, the Dong family and Chu Yunfeng had temporarily returned to the Biyue Palace.

I thought that I would never set foot in this palace again in my life, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly. Dong sighed for a while.

"What a coincidence it happened, I didn't expect that the child disappeared as soon as Madame revealed the secret. "Accompanying him was none other than Zhuge Wen, the supervisor of Shi Bi.

"It's just two children, how can anyone do something to them? Could it be that the Quan family and the Liang family did it?"

"Attacking the child at this juncture is not like the two families of Quan Liang did it. Dong thought for a moment and analyzed, "Even if this is to take revenge on Tan'er's coercion back then, it will also make them miss the opportunity to climb the Immortal Chief." ”

"Hmph, the disappearance of the child is not the work of the Quan Liang family, and it has nothing to do with their family!"

The person who attacked the two children must have known the secrets of the children.

And the person who knows the secret can't be anyone else except for the people of the Quan Liang family.

If someone leaks the secret, the chances of doing it without the support of the family are very low.

In this way, who else has a grudge against the King of Chutan? It is even said that the culprit is not only the King of Chutan, but also the State of Chu?

Dong seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked Zhuge Wen: "In recent years, have there been any major incidents?"

When Zhuge heard this, he went through the events that had happened in Dong's house arrest in his mind one by one.

After King Chutan ascended the throne, his main action was to stabilize the court and consolidate his throne.

If you really want to talk about major events, there is only one thing.

Yancheng is a border city of the Chu State, bordering the Night Wind Dynasty.

For many years, the two countries have been at loggerheads, but they have been relatively restrained and have not had large-scale conflicts.

Just three years ago, a large gold mine was discovered in Yancheng. Its reserves are so abundant that even if the state of Chu is in a state of perennial war, it is enough to consume for five hundred years.

When the Night Wind Dynasty learned about it, their eyes were unusually red.

Before King Chutan ascended the throne, he competed for the throne with the crown prince Qi, which consumed a lot of Chu accumulation. He will not give up this vein to other countries.

Under the strict control of the army of the Chu State, the Night Wind Dynasty had repeatedly forcibly taken without success, and then the movement became smaller and smaller.

Speaking of this, Zhuge Wen had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and exclaimed: "If it is really the Night Wind Dynasty's doing, then everything will make sense!"

Dong nodded and said, "Immediately report this clue to Tan'er, and let him focus on searching Muyunfang City, where there are many people and most of them are places where some people of unknown origin gather." ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Wait!" Dong seemed to think of something again, "It is impossible for the murderers to hide in Fang City for too long, remind the king to be prepared with both hands to prevent them from taking advantage of the chaos to leave the city." ”
