Chapter 1156

Chen Ning's eyes lit up, "You're right. Since it's like this, the blueprint can only be in one place!"

"Where?" Mo Chuan's eyes also lit up.

"The guest house!" She said with certainty.

Mo Chuan immediately shook his head, "Impossible. I've already sent people to carefully search the guest house. Every room has been dug three feet deep. Everyone in the guest house has been searched, but they haven't found the blueprint."

"You really searched every place?" Chen Ning said thoughtfully.

"That's right. I personally led people to search." Mo Chuan nodded with certainty.

"Did you search the room where the Northern Qi emissary lived?"

"The first place I searched was that room." Mo Chuan said.

"Every corner? Every place? "

"Of course."

Chen Ning curled her lips, "No, there's one place you definitely didn't search."

Mo Chuan said without even thinking, "I have personally searched every place and I have searched very carefully."

"The box with the blueprint, did you search it?"

"That box is clear, it's empty. The blueprint was originally placed in the box, but it's gone." Mo Chuan said.

He looked at Chen Ning looking at him with a smile that wasn't a smile and suddenly realized something.

"You're saying that there's a hidden layer in the box?"

"I'm not sure if there's a hidden layer in the box. After all, I haven't seen the box before. But other than there, I can't think of any other place the thief would put the blueprint, if you really searched everywhere." Chen Ning said in a calm voice.

Mo Chuan couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air, "So you're saying that it really was the Northern Qi envoy who stole it? Only the Northern Qi envoy would know that there's a hidden layer in the box, so it must be him! "

"No! This is only one of the possibilities. Mo Chuan, we need to find that box now and see if the blueprint is still in the box. Some things are just my speculations, so we have to see it with our own eyes. "Chen Ning said.

Mo Chuan nodded and said, "Alright, let's go to the Northern Qi guest house now."

Because the theft of the blueprint was very serious, the guest house was heavily guarded by Mo Chuan's imperial guards. Not even a fly could fly in.

Not many people knew that the Northern Qi envoy had brought the blueprint to West Chu. Mo Chuan hid the fact that the blueprint was stolen even more. Others only knew that the Northern Qi envoy had lost an important item, but no one knew that it was the Quintuple Crossbow blueprint.

The Northern Qi envoy was basically under house arrest in the guest house and could not leave.

When he heard that the West Chu emperor and empress had arrived, he didn't even come out.

Mo Chuan and Chen Ning appeared at the door. The Northern Qi envoy looked up and coldly said, "Did you catch the thief?"

"No."

Mo Chuan shook his head. He was not angered by the Northern Qi envoy's rude words.

In reality, for something like this to happen, if the Northern Qi emissary had not stolen what he had been guarding, his reaction would have been perfectly normal.

If he and the Northern Qi envoy were in a different place, he would probably be as angry as the envoy.

"Mo" the the envoy that Chen the Chu the Ning. he said.

His dissatisfaction was already overflowing with emotion, and he did not conceal it at all.

Mo Chuan didn't get angry. He held Chen Ning's hand and walked into the room.

Mo Chuan was not angry. He held Chen Ning's hand and walked into the room.
