Qi Ning was even more surprised, thinking that it was already midnight when he left the Qinhuai River last night. Logically speaking, Zhuo Xianer should go to bed and rest after he left, but why didn't he spend the night on the boat.
Qi Feng knew that the young Marquis had a good impression of Miss Zhuo from Qinhuai River, and knew that Qi Ning was worried, so he whispered: "Master Marquis, I have been waiting over there all morning, but there has been no news about Miss Zhuo. I am thinking about this." I should report to the Marquis first, so I came back first. But I told the other side that if Miss Zhuo returns to the ship, she will report immediately. "
"Qi Feng, there is no reason for Miss Zhuo to suddenly disappear." Qi Ning looked solemn, "You immediately bring two people to help find Miss Zhuo's whereabouts." After a pause, he said: "I heard that the owner of that ship is A wealthy businessman, you find that person, ask about Miss Zhuo's origins, and find out the whole story. Don't make a big deal about it, but you must find Miss Zhuo."
Qi Feng said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, I know that I will go all out until I find Miss Zhuo."
Qi Ning nodded and said, "I happen to have something to ask you for." He pondered for a moment before saying, "You know Bai Shenghao from the Beggar Clan. I have something I need his help with, but I can't go directly." Find him, take the time to see him once and tell him that I need his help in investigating a few people."
"Investigating people?" Qi Feng said: "Master Hou, the Beggar Clan has very good eyes and ears. It is indeed right to search for them." He added: "Who are you investigating?"
Qi Ning came close to Qi Feng's ear and said the names of several people. Qi Feng looked solemn and said: "Master Hou, I understand. Master Bai is a very generous person and has always been grateful to Master Hou. As long as He said that he can definitely handle the matter that the Marquis asked him to do." Without further words, he left.
Qi Ning felt a little uneasy.
Zhuo Xianer disappeared inexplicably, which surprised him. After all, Zhuo Xianer was still on the boat last night, so how could he just disappear
Suddenly, my heart trembled, and I thought to myself, could Zhuo Xianer's disappearance be due to her own involvement? He had captured Duan Qingchen last night, but his success fell short. Duan Qingchen was poisoned to death at the last moment. There were too many people watching at the time, and it is still impossible to determine who took advantage of the chaos.
But the man must have stayed in the Qinhuai River after committing the murder. Could it be that the man saw him boarding Zhuo Xianer's boat and kidnapped Zhuo Xianer after midnight
Qi Ning was worried, but he had a vague feeling that things were not that simple.
Zhuo Xianer took out the black python scale that time. Although Qining was grateful, thinking about it afterwards, he only felt that it was a bit unexpected. He was not willing to judge Zhuo Xianer with the worst guess, but he felt vaguely I feel that Zhuo Xianer is not as simple as it seems.
This time, Zhuo Xianer suddenly disappeared. Qi Ning was naturally worried. He secretly wanted to ask Qi Feng to find out the trace first, but it didn't work. He would also ask people from the Beggar Clan to help him. He just hoped that nothing would happen to Zhuo Xianer. thing.
After the emperor's wedding, the next thing the court had to do was to send the crown prince of Eastern Qi back to his country.
Longtai married Su Zixuan to the prince of Dong Qi, and the two countries became closer. For the Su family, this was a great opportunity to improve their status in Chu State, but for the Jinyi Qi family, it had nothing to do with them. Qi Ning was indifferent to this matter.
Qi Ning never left the house until after dinner, when he returned to his house. It was still early in the morning. After the young marquis returned to the house, he lay down comfortably on the bed and slept quietly for two hours.
Although it didn't last long, it was very effective in restoring Qi Ning's energy. When he woke up, the night was already dark and the entire Jinyi Hou Mansion was completely silent, but Qi Ning felt very energetic.
He got up and tidied up, changed into a short shirt that was easy to move around, then blew out the lights, reached the back window, pushed it out, and closed the window again.
It was a quiet night, Qining was familiar with the road, climbed over the back wall, and went straight to the Buddhist hall.
Today, it was agreed with Zhuo Qianyi that at midnight, Zhuo Qianyi would sneak into the Buddhist hall of the Hou Mansion and take away the non-existent beads from the Buddhist niche. Of course, Qining could not miss this opportunity.
This time Qining wanted to use the swing to lure the snake out of its hole.
Qining thought about it for a few days, and since he couldn't make a foolproof judgment about who was the bull-headed horse-faced one, the best way was to lure them out directly.
Qi Ning has always been certain that the bull-headed horse-faced man must be beside the old woman, but until the critical moment, there is no way to find any trace of them.
In order to lure them out, it is natural to put the old woman in danger. So Zhu Qianyi only needs to take action tonight and break into the Buddhist hall. If the old woman is put in danger, under such circumstances, Qining believes that as long as the bull-headed horse face is once again When you are around an old woman, you are bound to take action.
He never underestimates his opponents, nor does he underestimate the bull-headed horse face.
To break into the Buddhist hall and pose a threat to Mrs. Tai, you will definitely need an extremely powerful character to take action. Looking around, the only person around you who can do this seems to be Swing Yi.
Zhu Qianyi once broke into the Shenhou Mansion and escaped unscathed. Qining believed that with Zhu Qianyi's methods, even if he was not a powerful opponent, he should be able to retreat safely.
Before he was sure of victory, Qining would certainly not take action himself and put himself in trouble.
Qi Ning was not sure whether tonight would go as smoothly as he predicted, let alone whether there would be a big harvest, but he knew that he had to get rid of Mrs. Tai, who was a threat to him at this moment. He couldn't just wait, he had to at least make some necessary tests.
The Hou Mansion was quiet, and Qining was like a ghost in the night. He had already reached the vicinity of the Buddhist hall quietly.
The Buddhist hall is a square courtyard. There are two golden bodhi trees planted in the courtyard. There is also a big cypress tree in the west corner outside the courtyard. The big cypress tree is quite old and towering. Qining didn't know this. Whether the big cypress tree grew here or was transplanted from elsewhere, it can be concluded that it should be the largest ancient tree in the entire Marquis Mansion.
The big cypress has lush branches and is actually an excellent place to enjoy the shade in summer. Unfortunately, this big cypress tree is planted next to the Buddhist hall. No one dares to approach the Buddhist hall where the Dowager is located, at least within a hundred steps. Every cent.
Qin Ning quietly approached the big cypress tree. After making sure that no one was around, he climbed up the big cypress tree with his hands and feet like a monkey. He was very careful not to disturb the people in the temple and made as little noise as possible. Qining climbed up the tree and found an excellent place where he could overlook every corner of the courtyard. Only then did Qining wait quietly.
Waiting is a very boring thing, but for Qining, it is not a big deal. His biggest advantage is that he has enough patience.
As time passed, Qining seemed to be integrated into the big cypress tree. In the night, his sharp eyes were staring at the door of the Buddhist hall.
From the crack in the door of the Buddhist hall, there was a trace of firelight. Qining didn't know if the old woman had fallen asleep, but at least the lights in the Buddhist hall were not extinguished.
I don't know how long it took, but Qining suddenly felt the big cypress tree moving slightly. He felt a chill in his heart and immediately lowered his head. However, he was shocked to find that a figure was climbing up the tree. His movement skills were also extremely sensitive. From the palm of his hand, he Looking through the gaps between the large and small leaves, the outline of the person's figure cannot be that of Swing Yi.
Qi Ning's body remained motionless, and his body was hidden behind a branch of a tree. He was really surprised that who the other person was, that he would run to the Buddhist hall tonight, and even climb up to this big tree as he thought. cypress.
The man's movements were nimble, and Qining could vaguely see that the man was wearing black tights and a black scarf covering his face, with only a pair of eyes exposed on his head.
The man seemed to be very good at climbing trees. He was already on the tree in the blink of an eye, and his movements were very careful, but he never noticed that Qi Ning had already been hiding in the tree.
Qi Ning had already grasped the cold blade tightly at this time. This person had an unknown origin and sneaked into Jinyihou Mansion late at night. He didn't know what his intentions were.
Fortunately, the big cypress tree was very huge, so the man did not get close to Qining's hiding place. He knelt on a tree branch a little below Qining like a cat, and gently climbed forward for a while. , also hidden among the dense branches and leaves, staring at the Buddhist hall through the gaps in the leaves.
At this time, Qi Ning only needed to lower his head to see this person's figure clearly.
The man was wearing tight clothes, which fully exposed the outline of his body. His back was flat, but his waist was very thin. Because his body was kneeling on a tree branch, his buttocks naturally lifted back. From the thin waist down, the lines became thin. Stretch out to both sides, forming a round hip curve.
The buttocks are plump but not fat, round in shape, tightly wrapped by the tights, and the curves are round and full of texture. No matter how bad his eyesight is, Qining has already concluded that the man in black is a woman.
A woman came to the Buddhist temple in the middle of the night and hid in a tree to peek at the temple. Qining was shocked and thought, what day is today? How could it be such a coincidence
The movement of this woman climbing the big tree just now was light and agile, and her martial arts skills were obviously not weak. He couldn't figure out who this woman was for a while.
Everything was silent. The woman seemed to know that the Buddhist temple was not simple, so she was very careful from beginning to end, not making a sound. She was obviously worried about alarming others. She was also very patient, kneeling on the branch of a tree, The posture is seductive, but the body is motionless.
Qi Ning's eyes were cold and he held a cold blade in his hand. He kept observing the woman from a high position. Judging from the outline of her body, she was not a woman he was familiar with. However, the posture of this woman was too alluring. Her waist was low and her buttocks were curved, which made her even more attractive. The shape of her upper body was indeed plump and attractive, which made Qining couldn't help but feel her heart beat a few times when her eyes fell on her buttocks. She secretly thought about why it was so difficult to pose, but such a pose did not allow people to calm down.
