Traveling through the ancient times

Along the way, the eldest prince vomited a little every hour, and a lot every two hours, making everyone else want to vomit...

After the eldest prince vomited again, he finally collapsed to the ground, exhausted. "How long will it take?"

"We have only walked a short distance, and we still have a long way to go..." If the eldest prince had not been vomiting all the way, they should have arrived in about ten days if they had galloped. However, at the current speed, they might not be able to arrive even in a month...

The two brothers who were in a hurry to get on their way sighed silently. After all, he was their eldest brother. They had no choice but to give in.

"How far is far?"

"It will probably take about a month..." This is just a conservative estimate by Lu Mingqian.

"Ah? Is Qunan so far? Didn't they say it would take about half a month to get there? We've been walking for so long, why does it take another month?" The eldest prince looked at Lu Mingqian suspiciously, "Third brother, are you kidding me?"

Lu Mingqian was not angry at being suspected. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the eldest prince. "If big brother hadn't come with us, my second brother and I would have reached Qunan in less than half a month. Isn't it because big brother's body hasn't adapted yet?"

The eldest prince was embarrassed. "Well, in that case, let's..."

"Then why don't we try another way? How about taking the water route?" Seeing the eldest prince's embarrassment, Lu Mingcheng suggested taking a boat. It might be a little slow, but it would be much faster than this...

"Can we go by water?" The eldest prince's eyes lit up...

"Of course, you can, but you have to take a detour from here to Minzhou to find the pier..." Lu Mingcheng looked at Lu Mingqian and waited for him to make a decision.

Lu Mingqian looked at the eldest prince who had obviously lost a lot of weight in just a few days and said, "Then let's go to Minzhou!"

The group took a detour to Minzhou, rented a boat and set off for Qunan.

After getting on the boat, the eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief as he finally didn't have to ride on the bumpy boat.

Lu Mingqian was not as optimistic as the eldest prince, because he didn't know whether the eldest prince would get seasick!

After walking for most of the day, the eldest prince was still in high spirits, and everyone was relieved that they didn't have to go through so much trouble...

Lu Mingqian was thinking that if the eldest prince got seasick again, he would just throw him into the sea, since they had agreed not to hold him back.

Chushunihua has recently started a new project. There is a connected shop with two storefronts next to the moat, which was bought by Chushunihua.

When she went to inspect the shops to see how to renovate them, she accidentally discovered that there was a house behind the two shops. Standing on the second-floor window of the shop, she could just see the garden in the yard. Probably because it had been vacant for many years, the garden was overgrown with weeds.

On the left side of the garden is a pond that is almost dry, on the right is an open space covered with weeds, and in front is the main house.

She had wanted to build a resort before she started painting at the beginning of the year, but later she thought that if she bought a farm outside the city to build a resort, it would be too far and inconvenient, and some ladies and girls might not want to leave the city.

If she bought the house at the back and connected it to the two shops in front, she could turn the house at the back into a modern resort-like hotel where guests could stay and eat, have barbecues and buffet parties in the garden, and the shop could serve as the front lobby for reception. Isn't this the effect she wants?

Hot pot restaurants and teahouses were opened one after another, and business was booming. At the beginning of the year, Hua made a lot of money, and he had money in his pocket and could do things more efficiently. After he decided to do that, he quickly asked someone to find out who the owner of the house behind was and whether the house was for sale.

The people at Chuanyin Building have always been very efficient, and soon they got the news that the son of this family had passed the imperial examination a few years ago and was sent to work as an official in a remote area. The whole family moved there and probably would not come back. So the house was successfully bought by Chuanchuhua.

She walked around the house and then went back to start writing and drawing, working on her decoration drawings. With the experience of the previous two decoration projects, although she was not a professional, the decorators could generally understand them.

The main house in the mansion was to be turned into a residence, so it could not be an ordinary house and had to be demolished and rebuilt. The main entrance was on this side of the moat, and the accommodation, kitchen and storehouse were located behind it. The layout of the garden also had to be slightly changed.

After a few days of deleting and revising, it was roughly what she wanted to paint at the beginning of the year. She could only draw a rough outline, and had to communicate with the decoration workers in person for the specific details.

At the beginning of the year, Hua found the contractor who had helped him with the renovation before. It was easier to do things with an acquaintance. They had dealt with each other twice before, so the discussion was quick. After deciding on the renovation details, the foreman started to work. This time, the house had to be demolished and renovated, and the workload was larger than before.

The people of Qunan City have been in a state of panic recently because several teenage girls have disappeared in the city one after another.

Zhou Jingjing sent letters to both Nian Chuhua and Jiang Ruixue, asking them not to go out unless necessary, as the city was not peaceful.

Jiang Ruixue could stay at home all day, but she couldn't do that when she started painting at the beginning of the year.

She still has business to do. Although the shop is watched by the shopkeeper and nothing goes wrong, she has gotten used to it over the years. Whenever she is at home, she has to go around the shop every day. In addition, she has to check on the progress of the decoration every day at the beginning of the year, so she has to go out.

Hua Ling followed Nian Chu Hua every day and was highly focused. Nian Chu Hua saw Hua Ling's fearful look and felt very warm and couldn't help but comfort her.

"Hua Ling, don't be so nervous. You're sweating. It's broad daylight now. The human traffickers wouldn't dare to kidnap people so blatantly on the street."

These days, every time she went out, Hua Duo would come to remind her to protect the young ladies well, saying that the abducted girls have not been found yet.

Lord Zhou has imposed martial law throughout the city, and a house-to-house search has yielded nothing. It's as if those people disappeared out of thin air, and no trace can be found.

Families with daughters in the city dare not let them go out. I heard that one of them was kidnapped from her own home yesterday. This is even more outrageous.

Lord Zhou was anxious every day. It had just been the New Year and such a big thing happened in his territory. The key point was that he had been investigating for such a long time but had not found any clues. The longer the time went, the more dangerous the abducted girls would be.

Nearing evening, the decoration workers had all left one after another. The contractor was standing at the site, looking at the results of today's decoration. The craftsmen under this contractor were all masters with more than ten years of experience, and they worked quickly and well.

Nianchuhua looked at the newly built swing beside the pond and sat on it to try it out. Hua Ling helped push Nianchuhua forward from behind. Nianchuhua was swung high up, feeling scared and excited at the same time. Her laughter like a silver bell filled the entire yard.

"Okay Hua Ling, stop now, I want to get off."

Hua Ling stopped what she was doing, and Nianchuhua slowly came to a halt.

"It's getting dark, let's go back!"

"Yes"

Nian Chuhua walked out first, and Hua Ling followed behind to lock the door. When he turned around, a dark shadow flashed out from the side and Nian Chuhua disappeared in an instant. The speed was so fast that even Tian Qingtian in the dark could not see it clearly.

"Miss..." Hua Ling turned around quickly, and there was no trace of Nian Chuhua in front of her.

Hua Ling chose a direction and quickly chased after him, while Tian Qing went in the opposite direction and searched around the shop.

At this time, every household had closed their doors and there was no one on the street. Hua Ling chased for several streets but did not see a single figure.

Hua Ling was angry and anxious. She forced herself to calm down, and thought while chasing. Finally, she went to the governor's house. She needed more people to help her look for him.

"What, Miss Nian was also kidnapped?" Lord Zhou stood up from the stool in shock and listened to Hua Ling's narration of how Nian Nianhua disappeared. In just the blink of an eye, Nian Nianhua disappeared out of thin air.

Lord Zhou knew that Nian Chuhua not only had a close relationship with Jiang Ruixue, but was also on good terms with the second and third princes. If he couldn't find Miss Nian, his career as an official would be over.

"Miss Hua Ling, don't worry. I will send someone to look for them right away." Lord Zhou immediately called his men and ordered them to search every household for the New Year painting. It only took a short while, and the city gates were closed, so they must be in the city.
