When Yuan Qiong began to wait for Chu Huan to come back, Luo Duo and Liuli had already waited for Chu Huan for a night.

Fortunately, both of them knew that Chu Huan was the king of Chu in the northwest after all, and he had many soldiers and horses, and it was inevitable that he would explain some things in Tongzhou, so it was naturally impossible to think that Chu Huan was separating from Yuan Qiong.

The king of Chu traveled west, such a big event, Chu Huan naturally kept it as secret as possible, this trip, he and Luo Duo were both dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, that is, horses, and also transferred to a good horse with an inconspicuous appearance but excellent foot strength, so as not to let people see the clues.

Chu Huan went in and out of Tongzhou, and there were very few people who knew about it, and Chu Huan even ordered not to leak it to the outside world.

Although with Pei Ji in charge, Chu Huan was not worried, but he also knew that if the people of the world knew that he had left Hexi suddenly, the forces of all parties might not be in trouble.

After the three of them converged, they did not delay, day and night, and hurried up, but in a few days, they had already arrived at Shuoquan.

Compared with the war in the pass, the northwest outside the pass seems too peaceful, the state capitals and counties are in order, it is Shuoquan, it is also stable, the city is full of traffic, prosperous and lively, and there are two more days is faith, so the city is full of lights, a festive atmosphere.

Chu Huan originally thought that Luo Duo and Liuli would follow him to the Governor's Mansion in Shuoquan, but after Luo Duo entered the city, he asked Chu Huan to return to the Mansion first to prepare for the time being, but he and Liuli could go to the Governor's Mansion to join Chu Huan later.

After entering Shuoquan City, Chu Huan was already like an arrow, thinking about his family, especially An Rong was tied up, and everyone in the family didn't know what to do, especially Lin Dai'er, who was a mother, must be sad and anxious, so she didn't ask much, and after separating from Luo Duo, she immediately rushed back to the Governor's Mansion.

Although Chu Huan has been crowned king, the Governor's Mansion has not yet been renovated, but here I got the news that Chu Huan was king, and replaced the plaque of the Governor's Mansion at the door with the Chu Palace.

Chu Huan has not yet entered the palace, he obviously felt that the palace has strengthened its defenses, there are people and horses all around, and when he arrived at the main gate, the soldiers recognized the king of Chu and hurriedly entered the palace to report, Chu Huan hurriedly entered the palace, and before he arrived at the main hall, a group of people had already greeted him, but the first person was Su Niang, who had not seen her for a long time, Su Niang's skin was obviously a little fairer, well-dressed, and the woman's hair bun was erected, but it also looked quite dignified.

followed by a few people, and saw Chu Huan appear in front of him with a tired face, but Su Niang's eyes were already red, standing in front of Chu Huan, and he didn't know what to say, but Chu Huan stepped forward and hugged Su Niang gently, and said softly: "It's okay, since I'm back, everything is with me!" He asked, "How is Dale now?" ”

Su Niang choked up and said: "Sister Lin hasn't eaten or drunk for a few days, and we can't persuade her, if it weren't for the persuasion of Mr. Du, Sister Lin would have already been!" But he didn't say any more.

Chu Huan let go of Su Niang, and then looked back, but only saw that Du Fugong and the white blind man were among them, and Mei Niang was also standing not far away, as if she wanted to come forward, but she didn't come over.

"King!" Du Fugong's expression was solemn, and he stepped forward to give his hand, but the white blind man had already knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "The humble duty is not well guarded, please ask the king to surrender!" ”

Chu Huan had already stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull up the white blind man, and said, "Don't worry, what happened, tell me in detail!" ”

The white blind man was annoyed and blamed himself: "My lord, the lowly duty, the lowly duty should be cut by a thousand cuts, you entrusted the safety of the palace to the lowly position, but the lowly position was not well guarded again and again!" ”

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Lianlian is not well guarded? Brother Bai, what do you mean by that? Could it be that there is something else besides Anrong? ”

The white blind man lowered his head and didn't dare to raise his head for a while, Du Fugong had already said: "King, you are in a hurry, go first to rest, things have happened, no matter how anxious it is, we can only find a way to solve it." ”

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and then walked towards Mei Niang, without waiting for him to speak, Mei Niang had already said faintly: "The white blind man has done his best, and the opponent is not something he can deal with!" ”

After Mei Niang followed Chu Huan back to the northwest, she was originally defending Empress Yuan Qiong in Jiazhou, and later Yuan Qiong went to Tongzhou because of Xuanren's exit, Mei Niang could have gone directly to Chu Huan, but after thinking about it, she returned directly to Shuoquan.

She is actually extremely careful, Chu Huan hijacked the queen to escape from the Heavenly Palace, she has been worried that Dingwu will secretly send people to the northwest, Dingwu has a dark yamen god guard, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not sneak into the northwest because of Chu Huan to threaten Chu Huan's family, although Chu Huan made arrangements in Shuoquan and there were many guards, Mei Niang still returned to Shuoquan Palace, her intention was actually to protect Chu Huan's family nearby, so that Chu Huan would have no worries.

In the hall, Chu Huan drank a cup of tea, and then motioned for the white blind man and Du Fu to sit down, and after the two of them sat down, Chu Huan said to Du Fu: "Manager Du, that letter!" ”

"Back to the king, in fact, that letter was handed over to his subordinates by Brother Bai." Du Fu said fairly: "Brother Bai, you should explain the specific matter to the king in detail." ”

The white blind man nodded, and then said to Chu Huan: "King, it was many days ago, and on the night of the humiliation, as on weekdays, I checked the guards inside and outside the mansion before the time to make sure that everyone was abiding by their positions, and then I went back to the house to rest." But less than two pillars of incense were laid down, and I heard a commotion in the house, and soon someone came to report that the young lady was missing. ”

Chu Huan's expression was solemn and he didn't speak, the white blind man thought for a while, and then continued: "I didn't understand it at that time, and when I understood, I hurried to meet Mrs. Dai'er!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Chu Huan.

Chu Huan got married at the beginning, Sifeng entered, Su Niang is the main house, but the other three have not been distinguished, although they have now become kings, and they have rewarded the generals in the army, but they have not rewarded their families.

The white blind man is not good at other names at this time, he can only call Lin Dai'er "Mrs. Dai'er", although Linlang is now helping to deal with money and food affairs in Yunshan, but there are three ladies in the house, Su Niang, Mei Niang and Dai Er, and the white blind man is only called Mrs., which is difficult to distinguish.

Chu Huan motioned to the white blind man to continue.

"Mrs. Dale was very anxious at that time, and Miss was in the house, and Madame Dale was by her side, but in the middle of the night, Mrs. Dale suddenly woke up and found that Miss had disappeared, so she was anxious." The white blind man looked solemn: "We searched all over the house, but there was no trace of Miss, until Lady Daer found the letter on the table in the house, and we knew that Miss had been robbed." Before, Mrs. Dale was too anxious to find Miss, but she didn't find the letter, and when she found the letter, it was nearly half an hour since Miss was robbed! Turning his gaze at Du Fugong, he said: "This matter is not trivial, I sent someone to notify Chief Officer Du immediately, and after Chief Du rushed back, Mrs. Dai'er was already ready to go out of the house to find Miss!" ”

Du Fu said: "Brother Bai is not wrong, when the subordinates came back, Mrs. Dai'er was ready to go out to find Miss, but the other party only left a letter, although it was said that he was taking Miss West, but where he was going, he didn't say clearly, how can he find it?" What's more, since the other party was able to sneak into the palace silently under the noses of the tightly guarded guards, and even stole Miss from Mrs. Dale's side, then the opponent's skills are naturally abnormal, Mrs. Dale and Mrs. Dale chased after it without permission, not to mention that they couldn't catch up, even if they really met, how could they take back Miss from the other party. ”

"An Rong was robbed, and Dai'er lost her sense of proportion, which is also a matter of course." Chu Huan clenched his fists and said solemnly.

Du Fu said fairly: "The subordinates are also worried about other changes, so they persuaded the eldest lady again and again, since the other party gave the conditions, then it means that the young lady is safe and sound for the time being, if she acts rashly, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the young lady, and Mrs. Dai'er did not chase after her, and the subordinates immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to expedite the day and night for 800 miles to send the news to the king." ”

Chu Huan said: "After I received the news, I rushed back immediately. You don't have to worry, I already know what to do at this time, but there are no other clues on the scene except for the letter? ”

"I've checked carefully, and there's not the slightest trace of the man in the house." Mei Niang's voice came from the side: "I even suspected that the man had never entered the house at all, but then I found a clue under the window." ”

"Oh?" Chu Huan turned his head over, "What clue?" ”

"Whether the man entered the room through the window, I can't be sure, but there are traces under the window." Mei Niang said: "These days, the snow has melted, the ground is damp and not dry, and it is a little soft, especially the soil at the root of the wall under the window, which is even softer!" She frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "There are two slight depressions in the soil at the root of the wall, but I can hardly see it, but if I am not mistaken, someone should have stood there!" ”

Thinking that Lin Dai'er's mother and daughter were resting in the house, but there was a ghostly ghost outside the window, Chu Huan clenched his fists, his heart was angry, but he felt a chill on his body.

"I wanted to follow the only trail for clues, but there was no trace of anything but that one." Mei Niang sighed lightly: "I thought about it for a long time, if nothing else, that person has never entered the room." ”

"Didn't go in?" The white blind man was stunned.

"That man didn't leave footprints everywhere, it can be seen that his kung fu is extraordinary, white blind man, I said before, this matter is actually not to blame you, even if any of you really find him that night, he can take your life in an instant." Mei Niang said: "He sneaked into the palace, stole Anrong, and didn't alarm the guards, not because he was afraid of you, but because he didn't want to be too troublesome." ”

The white blind man opened his mouth, and finally said, "If he didn't enter the house, how would the young lady be!" ”

"I guess that's why there's a trace in the corner." Mei Niang said: "It is likely that he wrapped An Rong with a rope, rolled him out of the window, and took things with a long rope, which inevitably made him exercise vigorously, which left a trace of the place where he stepped on, otherwise I am afraid that even that trace of imprint will not be left." ”

Chu Huan said: "You mean, he swept away An Rong with a rope or something outside the window?" ”

"It's just my guess." Mei Niang said: "I'm not sure, but this is the most likely." However, it doesn't matter how he kidnapped An Rong, but that Rulian was really kidnapped and left! ”
