Chapter 556: Qianniang is missing
Sunan has never agreed, but the middle-aged man insisted that Sunan agree with certainty, and the two stood on the stage and argued.
Perhaps, as the middle-aged people say, they have a pious attitude and follow the marriage ceremony passed down by Nuwa Niangniang to select their partners. Therefore, although Sunan has been shirking, the middle-aged man just insisted on his own point of view and let Sunan agree, but did not choose to use force.
"Father, don't fight." Ning Yuxin stepped forward and pulled the sleeve of the middle-aged man's coat, "Since Su Gongzi is unwilling, we can't force it." Or go home and ask Nuwa Niangniang for instructions on how to deal with such a situation. ”
The middle-aged man nodded, but looked at Sunan again, "You can't hide from this, you have to go to my house with you!" ”
Sunan was stunned for a moment, but nodded and agreed. Hiding in case of trouble is not his character. No matter what the reason, the hydrangea is now in his hands, and this matter must be dealt with properly.
"Let's go, Qianniang, let's go to Ning's house together." Sunan walked up to Nie Qianniang and whispered to her. After arguing for so long just now, I didn't see the Ning family strong, so I can know that the Ning family is not a very unreasonable person, as long as the two sides negotiate carefully, they will find a solution.
The middle-aged man next to him had no objection to Sunan taking Nie Qianniang with him. The dispute between him and Sunan on the stage just now has been controlled by him, and the people in the audience don't know what they are talking about. Therefore, after the middle-aged man explained a few words to the audience, he led his daughter and Sunan to leave the high platform, and the people in the audience thought that the hydrangea had been successfully thrown this time. This can be regarded as taking care of the Ning family's face.
On the way, Sunan also knew the identity of the middle-aged man, he was Ning Changqing, the great elder of the Golden Fox Family. The Ning family is in the fox demon family. It belongs to a huge branch. Five families of fox demons. They correspond to the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The Ning family is a golden fox.
After entering the Ning family, Ning Changqing first arranged guest rooms for Sunan and Nie Qianniang to let them rest, while he himself went to the patriarch and other elders to discuss the matter.
Ning Yuxin threw a hydrangea to recruit relatives, but it was not carried out casually. As the most powerful branch of the demon fox clan, this Ning Yuxin is one of the best three generations of children, and her family affairs must not be hasty. The reason why she was asked to throw hydrangeas to recruit relatives was really after the Golden Fox clan prayed to Nuwa Niangniang. Divine revelations received.
This is also one of the reasons why Sunan disagreed, and Ning Changqing still reasoned with him with a pleasant face and did not force him. The person who can lead the Golden Fox Clan to flourish in the divine revelation must not anger him, and let him help the Golden Fox Clan willingly.
"Brother Su, you can't agree!"
When they sat down in the guest room and everyone else left, leaving only Sunan and Nie Qianniang, Nie Qianniang said a word to Sunan, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Hmm." Sunan nodded. "When the two are together, they have to have feelings. I don't know that Ning Yuxin at all. There is no emotion at all, how can you agree to such a marriage. ”
After Ning Changqing arranged for Sunan and Nie Qianniang, he went to the council room, found the patriarch and other elders, and told them about the situation of throwing hydrangeas on the high platform just now to recruit relatives. In fact, someone had already reported this matter to the patriarch, but this matter was hosted by Ning Changqing, and he still had to talk about it again.
After listening to Ning Changqing's words, the patriarch frowned, and then looked at the other elders, "Everyone, how should this matter be handled?" ”
"Otherwise, we will use force and directly let the two of them get married."
"No, this is the person mentioned in the divine revelation, if you use force, isn't it equivalent to disrespecting Nuwa Niangniang?"
For a time, the two opinions were arguing, and the chamber was as noisy as a vegetable market.
"Shut up, everybody!" The patriarch stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air a few times, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
"Guys, don't you hear what the young man meant?" With a smile on his face, the patriarch asked everyone.
"What do you mean, doesn't he just disagree?" Everyone is strange, such a simple meaning, is there any metaphor in the middle?
"Great Elder, you repeat Sunan's words again." The patriarch just laughed, did not answer everyone's questions, but handed over the conversation to Ning Changqing.
Ning Changqing didn't figure it out either, but the patriarch asked him to say that he still thought about it and repeated Sunan's words, "Everyone, then Sunan said that if you get married, you must have the two of them in love." He and Xin'er have never met, and their respective temperaments and personalities are unknown. So it can't be combined. ”
"Patriarch, isn't this just disagreeing, what's the point?" Everyone listened again, but still did not find any other meaning, so they asked the patriarch nonsense.
"Haha, you guys, you're so anxious!" The patriarch stretched out his finger, drew a circle in the hall, and pointed at everyone, "You all thought that Sunan and Xin'er would marry right away, so you paid attention to the meaning of opposition in Sunan's words." ”
"Now think about it carefully, what is the reason for Sunan's opposition? He is saying that two people need to have feelings to be united. He doesn't know Xin'er yet, so of course he has no feelings. But now that there is no affection, can't we let them cultivate affection? ”
As soon as the patriarch's words came out, there was really no way out, and everyone suddenly felt that their eyes suddenly lit up, and the problem that was still bothering them just now found the answer in an instant.
"That's right! If you don't have feelings, what are you afraid of, let them have more contact and cultivate feelings! ”
"That is, our Xin'er has a docile temperament, knows books and etiquette, understands various skills, and is as beautiful as a flower. With her ability, if she wants to make Sunan like her, it's not easy? ”
When everyone was talking about it, the patriarch stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, "Okay, this matter is settled, find an opportunity for Xin'er to follow Sunan." The two have been together for a long time, and there will always be feelings. ”
After this argument, it was already the middle of the night, and it was estimated that Sunan had already fallen asleep, so Ning Changqing did not go to him again. Besides, he still needs to think of a reason so that Ning Yuxin can follow Sunan's side.
On Sunan and Nie Qianniang's side, Ning Yuxin brought someone to bring them dinner, telling them that the Great Elder, the Patriarch and the other elders were still discussing matters and could not come to entertain them, so Ning Yuxin accompanied the two to dine together.
At dinner, Ning Yuxin didn't talk much, almost didn't talk to Sunan, just chatted with Nie Qianniang. When dinner was over, Ning Yuxin also said goodbye and asked Sunan and the two to rest early.
It is undeniable that Ning Yuxin is still quite affinity, and in just one meal, she has a good relationship with Nie Qianniang. When Ning Yuxin left, Nie Qianniang was already calling Sister Ning in her mouth.
Sunan and Nie Qianniang are in one room. After sending Ning Yuxin away and returning to his room, Sunan sat there quietly, recalling what had happened after they entered the small city of Qingqiu in turn, to see if there was any potential danger in it. After seeing the wanted notice about himself at the city gate, he was always a little uneasy.
was immersed in the memory analysis of his past experience, when he heard a sound from next door, followed by an exclamation from Nie Qianniang.
The sudden change made Sunan jump up suddenly, and before he had time to think about it, he stepped out of his door and rushed towards the room where Nie Qianniang was.
At the same time, I constantly blame myself in my heart. Because after entering the Ning family, he has always been treated with courtesy, which makes him have a good impression of the Ning family, and he didn't think that they would do harmful things, so he relaxed his vigilance.
The door of Nie Qianniang's room opened a crack, and after Sunan came, he didn't have time to think about it, so he directly slammed the door and rushed inside.
The room was a mess, with various items scattered all over the floor, and there were even some traces of a fight. However, those traces are so subtle that you can't see them without paying attention. Moreover, there was no blood in the room, and it seemed that no one was injured in the fight.
These are not the main things, the most worrying point for Sunan is that there is no one in the room at all, and there is not even a shadow to be seen. Nie Qianniang disappeared for no reason.
The voice in Nie Qianniang's room, as well as the sound of Sunan rushing out the door, alarmed the Ning family's guards, and soon someone came here. Seeing a guest disappear for no reason, the guards were also very surprised, and hurriedly reported to the family steward.
Soon, Ning Changqing and Ning Yuxin also rushed over when they got the news. As soon as Ning Changqing arrived, he asked Sunan, "Sunan, what's going on, you tell me carefully." ”
As soon as Ning Changqing appeared, Sunan kept staring at his every move. From his actions, he just felt calm, and there was nothing abnormal. Sunan just wondered if this was the ghost of the Ning family, and when he saw Ning Changqing's demeanor, he still threw the suspicion aside.
After he heard the voice, he rushed to Nie Qianniang's room and told Ning Changqing everything, and Ning Changqing also frowned. It's a strange thing.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the guards who were searching on the periphery quickly ran over, "Report to the Great Elder, in the direction of the back garden, some abnormal traces have been found. ”
Hearing that there was an abnormality in the direction of the back garden, everyone's spirits were lifted, Ning Changqing greeted Sunan and Ning Yuxin, and quickly walked towards the back garden.
The back garden can be described as a veritable sea of flowers. Low flowers and tall vines cover almost the entire back garden. In this bustling area, there is a less obvious footprint passing over the flowers and leaves, and then two shallow traces are imprinted on the wall, climbing the top of the wall and disappearing outside the wall.
"It's like Qianniang's footprints." Sunan pointed to a footprint on the wall and said to Ning Changqing.
But at this time, Ning Changqing's attention was not on the footprints that Sunan pointed to, but looked out of the wall and fell into deep thought.
"Mr. Ning, what's going on?" Sunan noticed that Ning Changqing's expression was different, and his intuition told him that Nie Qianniang's disappearance was not simple, so he simply asked him. No matter what the facts are, he has the responsibility to protect her safety with Nie Qianniang.
"Sunan, you don't know, the core of Qingqiu Town is also the core of Xiaoqingshan, and its location is just behind this garden. The five demon fox clans occupy five directions, and they just enclose this core location inside and protect it for generations. Inside, it is the forbidden place of the demon fox clan, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it at all. ”
"Looking at the current situation, that Nie girl seems to have broken into the forbidden land." (To be continued......)
