Qi Xuan stepped forward and warmly shook the hands of the leaders Xie Congnan and Xu Yuzhi.

"I'm grateful to have a few of you here."

"It's a matter of duty." Xie Congnan exchanged a few words and withdrew his hand.

Qi Xuan returned to Wen Yunsu's side, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please sit down, don't restrain yourself, this reception banquet is originally prepared for you." ”

The musician began to play, and the atmosphere in the banquet became lively, and Qi Xuan also had a slight smile on his face.

As soon as he turned his head and saw Shan Ying, Qi Xuan was stunned and rubbed his eyes, as if he thought he had seen it wrong.

Shan Ying raised her glass to him with a smile and said silently with her mouth: "Don't say it." ”

Wen Yunsu also saw it, and whispered to Qi Xuan: "Your Majesty, don't look at it." ”

Qi Xuan nodded and no longer looked at Shan Ying.

After a meal, before Qi Xuan could get down to business, Xie Congnan asked directly.

"Dare to ask the emperor, what happened to Xuanwu Kingdom?"

Qi Xuan asked those musicians to retreat and close the door of the main hall.

"Don't hide a few, the Demon Hunting Division has investigated this matter for more than a month and still has no clue, since two months ago, many children of four or five years old have disappeared in the imperial city, and they all disappeared out of thin air at night, no matter how many people stay inside and outside, it is useless."

Several people in the audience looked at each other, four or five-year-old children were missing, listening to Qi Xuan's words, there were a lot of them, and it was indeed a little strange.

"Moreover, the princess who has just passed her fifth birthday was also taken away three days ago." Qi Xuan clenched his fists, and Wen Yunsu patted the back of his hand.

Xie Congnan knew that this was the case, not only the children's children were missing, but even Qi Xuan's own daughter was gone.

"The Demon Hunting Division has checked the inside and outside of the imperial city for a month, and there is no trace at all."

Qi Xuan's face was embarrassed and asked Cao Yong to call someone in.

Zhou Dongtan, the current head of the Demon Hunting Division, walked in from outside.

The Demon Hunting Division was set up by Qi Xuan, directly belonged to him, and hired some idle monks, who had some ability.

Zhou Dongqin saluted Qi Xuan, and then looked at the others in the hall.

"This is Zhou Dongtan, the head of the Demon Hunting Division, who has been in charge of the search for a month, you can ask him anything."

Xie Congnan and Xu Yuzhi nodded, and there are many places to use the Demon Hunting Division in the future.

"If my daughter is still alive, please bring her back, and if she is dead, I hope you can find her bones."

Xie Congnan suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, you are the embodiment of a thousand-year-old Xuanwu, how could someone steal someone under your nose?" ”

This point is something that Xie Congnan is puzzled by.

Besides, there are still Xuanwu statues in the palace, how can Xiaoxiao break in?

Qi Xuan's face was embarrassed, "A few days ago, she was making a fuss about seeing the shadow puppet show in the imperial city, I originally wanted to invite people in, but she didn't want to, and wanted to go out of the palace to see, I was not happy in those days, so I fulfilled her wish, and it was the concubine who took her out that night, and I also sent a lot of guards, but I didn't expect people to be lost." ”

Wen Yun sighed: "The emperor is also guilty, he shouldn't have ignored this matter because he was uncomfortable at that time, let Zhao Zhao pass, the concubine has not entered the rice water for a few days because she lost Zhao Zhao." ”

Sometimes it is because of such a small negligence that the person disappears and disappears into the arms of the concubine.

Qi Xuan thought that so many guards could be protected after all, but he didn't expect that people would still take advantage of the loopholes.

Qi Yunzhao is the child of the concubine, and if she loses her child, she is naturally grief-stricken.

If Qi Xuan hadn't told her that she would definitely get the child back, the concubine would have gone to Hexi soon.

Now there is only that breath left, and in just a few days, the person has lost his appearance.

Wen Yunsu's face was full of sadness, Qi Yunzhao had lost it for three days and still had no news, she was afraid that it would be more than lucky, and the concubine would not be able to hold it all of a sudden, so she went with her.

"We'll take it." Xie Congnan agreed.

Not only do they have to find the princess who has disappeared, but also the children who have disappeared in the imperial city.

They came out of the main hall and stopped Zhou Dongtan.

"During this time, is there anything wrong with the Imperial City?"

Zhou Dongtan shook his head, "It's been investigated a long time ago, there is nothing wrong, originally we thought that it was Renyazi who abducted and sold those children, but then we knew that they disappeared out of thin air, so we changed directions to look for them, and still found nothing." ”

The incident came out a month ago, when the people of the Imperial City were panicked, and there were four or five-year-old children in the family, who were eager to watch under their noses every day.

But even then, the children disappeared in front of them.

It wasn't until Qi Yunzhao disappeared in the arms of the concubine three days ago that he invited Yun Mengze and Fenglingdu to come.

"Show us the roster of missing children." Xu Yuzhi took the initiative to mention.

Zhou Dongtan nodded, "That's natural, it's been prepared for a long time." ”

Seeing that they were discussing, Shan Ying turned around and went to find Qi Xuan, and when Qi Xuan saw her, he pressed his eyebrows with a headache.

"Uncle Qi." Shan Ying sat obediently.

"You make it easy for your father to find." Qi Xuan pointed his fingers at her, looking helpless.

Shan Ying clasped her hands together, "Uncle Qi, don't turn your head and tell my father, I finally ran out." ”

Qi Xuan sighed and said helplessly: "On Chinese New Year's Eve, he also summoned me and asked me if I had seen you, but you ran away to Yunmengze. ”

"I'll be back in a while, it's not the time yet."

Qi Xuan seemed to have thought of something, but he still didn't say it after all, and hummed in a low voice.

Wen Yunsu next to him held Shan Ying's hand, and said in a gentle voice: "It's better to go back as soon as possible, don't let your father worry." ”

"I understand." Shan Ying got up and looked at them with a smile, "My friend is still waiting for me, I'll go back." ”

"Go ahead."

After Shan Ying came back, they went directly to the Demon Hunting Division from the palace, and there were still some people in the Demon Hunting Division, some ordinary people, and some casual cultivators.

Zhou Dongqin came in with a bunch of people, and these people knew that this was someone invited by the emperor.

They are all well-known and righteous monks.

Xue Jiaojiao glanced around, the internal furnishings of the Demon Hunting Division were simple, and there were only a few dozen personnel.

"Go get the roster." Zhou Dongqin ordered to go down.

Immediately, someone came in with a thick pile of things and put them in front of Zhou Dongtan.

Xie Congnan and Xu Yu sat on both sides, and the rest of the people sat down next to them and began to look through the things in their hands.

Chu Ci pinched a few pieces of paper in his hand and frowned slightly.

With so many missing four or five-year-old children, what are they being caught for?

Xue Jiaojiao was also surprised when she saw the thickness, there were so many piles, and the probability of survival of the child who disappeared first was too low.

If they are really caught to do something bad, the first few who will disappear will probably not be able to save their lives.

"So much?" Xie Congnan frowned as she flipped over, she wanted to say why she didn't tell them earlier, but she didn't say it, and she held it back in her stomach.

I'm afraid that if Qi Yunzhao hadn't disappeared this time, Qi Xuan wouldn't have remembered to look for them.
