Chapter 504 The plan failed
The group hurried to the west courtyard.
There should have been yamen runners guarding the west courtyard gate, but these yamen runners were originally left behind by the previous prefect and had long been bribed by the Lin'an Ning family.
Now they were already drunk at the banquet and had no idea what was going on.
How could he care about Wen Renye’s safety?
So, when the group arrived here, there was no one on duty, the door was closed, and there was no one there.
The butler walked over and knocked on the door, but there was no sound from inside.
This is wrong!
If he had been drugged, how could there be no sound?
The housekeeper turned back hesitantly, only to see Ning Yuanzhou suddenly bowing deeply towards the door. "Your Excellency, I am honored to meet you. There was an unexpected incident in the mansion. I wonder if Your Excellency is okay?"
Ning Yuanzhou had to lower his posture in front of everyone, but after he saluted, there was silence all around, and there was not a single sound in the room.
A trace of anger flashed across Ning Yuanzhou's eyes. He had never been humiliated like this before. He was just a small prefect. So what if he was the emperor's savior?
In his territory, even a dragon has to coil.
Ning Yuanzhou gave a look, and the housekeeper immediately took a step back, saying that the prefect was offended, and kicked the door.
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open.
The butler rushed in first, only to find that the room was empty, with no sign of Wen Renye.
Ning Yuanzhou realized that something was wrong and rushed in immediately, but saw that all the items in the room were still in their original places, and there was no sign of a man and a woman having fun.
Ning Yuanzhou looked at the housekeeper angrily, asking, "What's going on? Did you get the wrong room?"
The butler was a little flustered. He had indeed arranged this room, but he really didn't know why there was no one in it?
Just when everyone was puzzled, a servant suddenly ran over and said, "Master, the prefect is playing chess with the old master in the garden..."
Ning Yuanzhou was shocked. He pushed the old housekeeper away and rushed out in a hurry. Seeing this, everyone followed him.
After arriving at the garden, I saw Wen Renye sitting upright in the Lan Cui Pavilion, playing Go with Old Master Ning.
Wen Renye was holding the black chess pieces, and was in a stalemate with the white chess pieces in Old Master Ning's hands. When Wen Renye was thinking about how to break the deadlock, Ning Yuanzhou and his group finally arrived in a hurry.
"Father..." Ning Yuanzhou bowed respectfully, then bowed slightly to Wen Renye, "Master Wen!"
Why do we call him Lord Wen here?
Mainly because it’s a bit weird to call him “Sir Quan Cheng Wenren”!
So Wen Renye directly ordered his subordinates to call him Lord Wen.
Wen Renye raised his eyes and smiled warmly, "Master Ning's arrival is just in time. I was just thinking about how to break the old man's chess game. I heard that Master Ning has made great achievements in chess. I have the audacity to ask for your advice!"
Ning Yuanzhou's lips twitched slightly. He knew what kind of person his father, that lousy chess player, was. This kind of water could still trap Wen Renye.
So how low is your level?
But Old Master Ning laughed heartily.
He said he was an excellent chess player.
Look, even the prefect couldn't break his chess game.
"Master Wen," Ning Yuanzhou said with a solemn expression, "Sir, aren't you resting in the west courtyard? Why are you here?"
"Oh, I just got drunk and my stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so I went to the toilet. After I came out, I felt much more sober. When I passed by the garden, I saw the old man playing chess, and I felt itchy..."
At this point, Wen Renye seemed to realize that Ning Yuanzhou was followed by a long group of people, and couldn't help but say: "Master Ning, what is this..."
Ning Yuanzhou was a little embarrassed, and the old housekeeper came over to explain immediately, "Sir, please allow me to report that my third daughter has suddenly disappeared. The master of the family is sending people to look for her. When they passed by the west courtyard, they wanted to visit you, but only then did they learn that you were not in your room..."
"The Patriarch was worried about you, so he prioritized finding you. Now that he sees you're safe and sound, he's overjoyed..."
After saying that, he looked at Ning Yuanzhou. Ning Yuanzhou's face, which was a little ugly at the moment, suddenly turned from gloomy to bright. "That's right, as long as you are safe and sound, my old heart will be completely relieved..."
Wen Renye raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a half-smile, "Miss Ning San is missing in the mansion? Master Ning, would you like me to send someone to help look for her?"
Ning Yuanzhou's breath was choked, and he pinched his palms with his fingertips until he woke up from the stimulation. Then he forced a smile:
"It's just my little girl being naughty. How dare I bother you, sir? Maybe she's drunk and resting in an empty room. When she sobers up, she'll naturally come back."
"In that case, I will not meddle in other people's business..." Wen Renye withdrew his gaze and returned it to the chessboard.
He happened to see Old Master Ning holding his black chess piece in his hand and was about to change it for him.
The hand that was changing the chess piece froze in mid-air. Old Master Ning smiled awkwardly, "If I say this is a misunderstanding, would you believe me?"
Wen Renye nodded silently, "I believe that my black chess piece must have slipped into Old Master Ning's hands. Old Master is a man of high moral character. How could he be such a shameless villain who would switch chess pieces behind his back?"
Old Master Ning's face froze. He simply put the black chess piece back to its original place and said hesitantly, "I am not that kind of person. It's all because of this black chess piece..."
"Well, it's Black's fault..."
Ningyuan Prefecture:........
Everyone present: ...
Everyone knows that since Old Master Ning had a serious illness three years ago, he has lost his mind, behaves like a child, and likes to play tricks.
It is incredible that this prefect can play with Old Master Ning.
Everyone was whispering to each other, praising Wen Renye's good temper.
Only Ning Yuanzhou looked pale.
If Wenren Ye has always been here, then where is his Wan'er?
After the banquet, all the guests left.
Ning Yuanzhou had no more scruples at this point and ordered all the servants to gather together and find the young lady. However, even after such a big fuss and searching all the rooms again and again, they still couldn't find where Ning Wan was.
The two sixth-grade warriors who were knocked unconscious finally woke up at this time. As soon as they opened their eyes, they were greeted by the extremely gloomy face from Ning Yuanzhou.
The two were employed by the Lin'an Ning family and had always been highly valued. Now that the third Miss Ning was missing, they would inevitably be held accountable.
But the unfair thing is that they really don’t know what happened afterwards.
Just when they were hiding in the dark, an inexplicable energy force suddenly attacked them. The two were completely unprepared and were hit. They have been unconscious until now!
Ning Yuanzhou took a deep breath, his voice cold and uncertain: "You are saying that there is another expert around Wen Renye, whose skill is at least at the eighth level?"
"That must be the case. We are at least at the sixth rank, and we can fight even a seventh rank warrior. But we were hit from mid-air like this, and we have no power to fight back. The opponent's skills must be at least at the eighth rank!"
