It wasn't too late for the banquet to end. Chu Huan drank sober soup all night. When the guests were saying goodbye, they said goodbye one by one. When the guests were gone, the bustling governor's mansion finally quieted down.

Although Qiu Ruxue drank a lot of wine, he was not drunk yet.

Tonight is the wedding night, Chu Huan did not relax his vigilance, and ordered Qiu Ruxue to arrange people to be on duty inside and outside the governor's mansion all night. He was afraid that some people with ulterior motives would take advantage of the wedding night and think that the governor's mansion was unprepared. will come suddenly.

Chu Huan has not forgotten his enemies, not only the ones in the open, but also the ones in the dark.

On the bright side, Zhu Lingyue and Xiao Huanzhang are nothing more than a duel in the battlefield, but the plot in the dark is hard to guard against. He has not forgotten that Zhu Lingyue still has the Anti-Evil Hall. Who can guarantee that Zhu Lingyue will not take the opportunity to send people from the Anti-Evil Hall to Shuoquan.

What made Chu Huan most wary was the three-way hidden soldiers.

Qingtian King has many people from all walks of life under his command, and he already knows that Qingtian King plotted Dai'er's red stone. Although he failed in the previous round, who can guarantee that Qingtian King will not send someone to make a comeback.

There are also people from the prince, King Qi came to Xiguan, although Chu Huan kept it secret from the outside world, and even the king of Qi did not come to attend the big wedding, but the prince will naturally know that King Qi is in Xiguan.

It is not impossible that there are strange people and strange men under the crown prince, and the king of Qi is not dead, and the crown prince is restless. It is not impossible for him to send someone to Shuoquan secretly, so after Bai Xiazi and others returned to Shuoquan a few days ago, Chu Huan immediately transferred Bai Xiazi to the mansion where King Qi lived, and arranged many good people to protect the safety of King Qi. Even tonight, Bai Xiazi was not able to attend the wedding, but was defending at King Qi's side.

As far as the last way, Chu Huan still doesn't know their true origin.

Thinking of the weird monkey-like dwarf, Chu Huan felt a little hairy. The former fandaier ran away and met the dwarfs in the ruined temple.

Under the massacre of the dwarves, almost all the subordinates sent by King Qingtian to the northwest were wiped out, which shows that this group of people is really capable.

From Chaowu Peak in Guifang, Anyi, to the ruined temple in the northwest, the dwarves can be regarded as haunted, like ghosts, which made Chu Huan usually very cautious.

Of course, Chu Huan would not be afraid of the dwarf's martial arts. It is true that the dwarf's martial arts are really good, but Chu Huan's martial arts cultivation is also advancing by leaps and bounds, and he may not be defeated by the dwarf.

But the dwarf is like a ghost, Chu Huan has no way of knowing when and how he will appear.

Gnomes are not fighters, but assassins!

Chu Huan knew that the purpose of the dwarf was the Mantra of Suppressing Demons. As far as he knew, the one who was bound to obtain the Mantra of Suppressing Demons was Bishamon, the national teacher of Xiliang, but he couldn't determine whether the dwarf was sent by Bishamon.

When he was in Xiliang, before his death, Changmei A Shiduo also said that as long as Chu Huan knew the mantra of suppressing demons, there would be no peace, and someone would haunt Chu Huan like a ghost.

It now appears that Ashido was not wrong.

At least the dwarf was already haunting Chu Huan like a disgusting nightmare.

The banquet is over, and logically speaking, Chu Huan still has a lot of things to do next. The four brides, Chu Huan has to go to each bridal chamber to complete another series of tedious etiquette.

It's just that Meiniang did something wrong when serving tea, and three of the four brides were already lethargic. According to Meiniang, it would take at least three or five hours to wake up. The bridal ceremony of the three of Su Niang can only be avoided, but for Meiniang, a sober bride, this etiquette must continue.

Mei Niang's yard was full of joy, halfway through the ceremony, Qi Hong came over in a hurry, and it was not good to interrupt the ceremony of the bridal chamber right away. When the ceremony was over and everyone was about to leave the bridal chamber, Qi Hong held back a bride , Whispered a few words, that Xi Po went over and whispered a few words to Chu Huan, Chu Huan came out and asked, "Where is he?"

Qi Hong whispered a few words, and then Chu Huan and Qi Hong hurried to the backyard. There was a pavilion in the backyard, and a figure was already waiting there. Chu Huan walked over quickly. The man heard the voice, saw Chu Huan coming, and hurried up to greet him. Wearing a light gray coarse cloth cloak and a cloak, Chu Huan stepped forward and clasped his hands together, but the other party clasped his palms together and softly sang the Buddha's name.

"Master Yin, it's so late, why are you here?" Chu Huan looked serious, "Could something have happened?"

The person waiting in the pavilion was actually a female nun.

The nun looked to be over 50 years old, with wrinkles on her forehead, her eyes looked very anxious, without the serenity of a monk, and said with palms together: "Lord Chu, the benefactor is gone!"

Chu Huan frowned even tighter, "Missing?"

The nun said: "After the evening class, the poor nun went to ask the benefactor what she needed, but there was no sign of the benefactor in the house, but her things were still there." He picked up a package from the stone table and presented it to Chu Huan, "Apart from the change of clothes, the machete of the benefactor was also left in the house."

Chu Huan took the package, opened it, looked at it casually, walked to the edge of the stone table, and sat down on the stone bench, "Master Li, when was the last time you saw her?"

"It's time for dinner." Liaoyin Shitai said: "My lord has told you that the benefactor is staying in this nunnery, and you must not tell others, so the poor nun is very careful. Even the food and drink of the benefactor will be delivered by the poor nun himself."

Chu Huan nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and asked again: "Master, are you sure the other mistresses in your nunnery don't know about this?"

Master Liaoyin shook his head and said: "Your Excellency knows, there are only five people in my Mingxia Temple, and I never talk too much, and the poor nun never told them about it."

Chu Huan's expression was even more dignified, "This is strange, is she going to leave by herself?"

Qi Hong was also at the side at this time, and said softly: "My lord, I think it's impossible. If... If she really wants to leave, why doesn't she even bring her package? It's nothing more than a change of clothes. This knife is her weapon. Impossible to leave it alone.”

"You're right." Chu Huan nodded and said, "Qi Hong, you and your teacher are going to Mingxia Nunnery now. Remember, don't alarm anyone about this matter. You go to the scene to see if there are any traces."

Qi Hong bowed his hands and said yes, without saying much, he led the Yin Shitai out of the backyard.

Chu Huan sat in the pavilion, did not leave, but was thoughtful.

The female benefactor mentioned by Master Yin is naturally Gan Yuting, the younger sister of Ganhou. Gan Yuting is very opposed to her elder brother marrying the Zhu family. She secretly arrived at Shuoquan from the Northwest Camp a long way away, and told Zhu Lingyue that she wanted to marry Ganhou in private. .

Chu Huan knew that this matter was very difficult, and there was really no good way to deal with it, but Gan Yujiao came up with an idea for Chu Huan, willing to hide in Shuoquan temporarily, as long as Marquis Gan couldn't hand over anyone, the marriage would be difficult to achieve.

Chu Huan thought about it, but also felt that it was the best way at present.

In order for Gan Yujiao to hide in secret, Chu Huan searched for it himself, and finally found Mingxia nunnery where Yin Shitai was.

The Great Qin Empire worshiped Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, and vigorously suppressed Buddhism. It is difficult to see famous temples and ancient temples in the Guan, but in the northwest, the impact is not as serious as in the Guan, especially the areas around Gyeonggi.

However, worshiping Taoism and suppressing Buddhism is the religious policy of the empire. Although the suppression in the northwest was not as severe as in the pass, many famous ancient nunneries were destroyed after all, and Xiguan was invaded by Xiliang, and there were few remaining temples. Destroy it all.

In Shuoquan City, there were already many temples, and there were also nunneries where nuns practiced quietly. After the Xiliang people retreated, there were only three temples left in the city, and there were only two nunneries where nuns practiced. Mingxia Temple is one of them. It is located in the remote part of Shuoquan North City. The people of Xiguan do not even have a meal. No matter whether it is a monk's temple or a nun's nunnery, there is almost no incense.

Originally there were twenty or thirty nuns in Mingxia Nunnery, but there were too many nuns and little food, and they would starve to death if they stayed. It's because they don't have the ability to survive alone, so they can only stay, and now there are only five people, occasionally a few pilgrims, who survived every meal without a meal.

Originally, Mingxia Temple was at the end of its rope, but Chu Huan came to Limen in time and donated a sum of incense money, which made Mingxia Temple very grateful. After discussing, one person should be temporarily hidden in the nunnery. He only said that she was a very rough girl. agree to come down.

Chu Huan chose Mingxia Nunnery because of its remote location and few people all day long, but also because there were few people in the nunnery, including the elderly, weak and sick, and it was very safe.

It's just that he never expected that Gan Yujiao would disappear suddenly after hiding her in such a secret place as Mingxia Nunnery.

Chu Huan knew that if it wasn't for sure that Gan Yujiao was indeed not in Mingxia Nunnery, it would be impossible for the music master to come to find him in the middle of the night before his wedding night.

At that time, he privately told Mrs. Yin, but Gan Yujiao had special circumstances, no matter when, she must come to report.

In the absence of confirmation of Gan Yujiao's disappearance, it is impossible for the music teacher to come from the North City to the East City, secretly reporting the news, she must have found every corner of Mingxia Nunnery.

Gan Yujiao voluntarily stayed in Mingxia Nunnery to hide, and it was impossible for her to leave suddenly without reason, and even if she left by herself, she would definitely bring her saber, and it was impossible to leave her saber behind.

If there were no accidents, Gan Yujiao could only be hijacked by someone. If she could steal Gan Yujiao away quietly without disturbing the nuns in Mingxia nunnery, the other party's methods are naturally not weak.

It's just that Chu Huan really can't think of where he went wrong.

At present, the most concerned about Gan Yujiao's whereabouts are none other than Ganhou and Zhu Lingyue. If it is Ganhou, Chu Huan believes that if he really finds Gan Yujiao in Mingxia Temple, he may not leave quietly like this, and it is very likely that he will come forward. Come to the governor's mansion and visit the door to question the crime.

Such a method, on the contrary, seems to be done by Zhu Lingyue's people.

But how did Zhu Lingyue know that Gan Yujiao would be in Mingxia nunnery?Gan Yujiao came to Shuoquan in an extremely secretive way, and Chu Huan has been trying her best to keep Gan Yujiao's whereabouts secret since then. Zhu Lingyue will not even know that Gan Yujiao is in Shuoquan, so how can he accurately judge that Gan Yujiao will hide in Mingxia Nunnery, and even take advantage of it? On the night of his big wedding, he sent someone to kidnap him?

But if it wasn't for Zhu Lingyue, who would be interested in Gan Yujiao's whereabouts?
