Chapter 19: The Golden Caged Bird

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just happened to be passing by, I didn't see anything, I didn't know anything!"

Before Cheng Jinzhi could see the situation in the house, she immediately reached out to cover her eyes as if she had seen a demon or a monster, and she wanted to slap her nosy self in her heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Is that you?"

Gao Heng obviously didn't expect Cheng Jinzhi to suddenly appear, he looked at Cheng Jinzhi's strange behavior of closing his eyes and covering his face, his eyes were full of surprise.

"You go on, I'll go first, I'm sorry!"

"Stop. ā€

Cheng Jinzhi was about to turn around and slip away as he spoke, but Gao Heng behind him suddenly stopped him in a sharp tone.

"It's over, he must have wanted to take the opportunity to kill me because I saw through the tryst with the man. ā€

Just as Cheng Jinzhi was struggling with her face whether to turn back, a pleasant birdsong came into her eardrums, and then, she felt that something on her shoulder fell, and she turned her head to see that there was a bird with plump wings and bright colors.

"What a pretty bird. ā€

Cheng Jinzhi looked at the bird on his shoulder, and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch its head, but it still stopped there obediently, with two eyes as translucent as black pearls embedded in its round head, shaking its head and tail, which was very cute.

It was at this time that her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the two people in the room, and she thought that she would see some pictures that made her "long needle eyes", but she didn't expect that this was an elegantly decorated study. Gao Heng was standing in front of several cases in a well-dressed manner, while the little white face was standing respectfully behind him with a cage.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like there is any intimate relationship between the two.

"What's going on? Could it be that I'm thinking too much? What did he say to the birds?"

Cheng Jinzhi glanced at Gao Heng suspiciously, and when he saw that he was also looking at himself with the same suspicion, he hurriedly lowered his head while feeling weak.

"Looks like it likes you. ā€

Gao Heng looked at the bird and smiled faintly, and suddenly looked at her sharply: "But, what are you doing in this place?"

Cheng Jinzhi's eyebrows trembled, and he hurriedly smiled: "Uh, I... I was so anxious that I walked around, and I didn't know how I passed by here, and I didn't know how I accidentally knocked the door open..."

"Really?" Gao Heng's eyes rolled, "You woke up so lively, it seems that you haven't slept in vain for the past three days and three nights." ā€

Cheng Jinzhi heard the ridicule in Gao Heng's words, glared at him angrily, and couldn't help but ask when he came back to his senses: "That... You guys... You guys, and this bird?"

"This red-billed plum finch is the most true among the birds, but it refuses to succumb to the golden cage, and has not thought about tea and dinner for many days, and looks tired, so I specially found a famous bird trainer in the capital to see what can be ......done."

"What can be done? Of course let it go!" Before Gao Heng could finish speaking, Cheng Jinzhi interjected unceremoniously, "You also said that he refused to succumb to the golden cage, and if you lock it up like this, it will suffocate to death one day, and it will be useless to find the king of heaven at that time." ā€

Cheng Jinzhi's sharp words made Gao Heng frown, and after a moment of silence, he said: "But you must know that the red-billed plum finch is rare in a hundred years, and if it is released into the sky, it will be difficult to find ......it in the future."

"I'd rather steal an ant than trap a bird in a golden cage, and if you really love it, you should give it back its freedom. Cheng Jinzhi held the plum blossom finch on his shoulder, and said angrily, "You royal relatives and nobles, relying on your power and power, like to influence the fate of others, and you don't even let go of a bird." You see that its wings are so beautiful, of course, they are used to fly freely in the air, but they are not for you to be locked up and played... What's more, it must have hung earlier in front of you, a paralyzed face that doesn't smile all day long. ā€

Cheng Jinzhi's last half of the sentence was deliberately very vague, but it still made Gao Heng hear a thing or two. He approached Cheng Jinzhi with a cold face, and his bottomless eyes fell on her, as if he could see through everything.

"You... What you want to do, I'm not wrong. ā€

Just as Cheng Jinzhi was staring at him all over his body, he suddenly smiled with relief, gently took the plum blossom finch that was pecking at the feathers from Cheng Jinzhi's hand, stared at it for a moment, and opened his hands to put it back in the air.

Its gorgeous wings were even brighter in the sunlight, and it flapped its wings and chirped a few times with joy, and soon disappeared at the end of the clear river.

And Gao Heng's move was also unexpected by Cheng Jinzhi and the bird trainer.

"You're really, really willing to let it go?"

"You said that if you really love it, you should give it back its freedom. ā€

Gao Heng raised his eyes to look at the distant sky where the birds were gone, his gaze was slightly condensed, and the coldness on his face gradually faded, showing a rare affinity.

"Then I'll thank you for the bird. ā€

Cheng Jinzhi folded his hands and bowed to Gao Heng, with a pleased smile on his face.

"Third brother, it turns out that you are here!"

At this moment, I saw Gao Xun, the king of Jin, coming over with great interest, looking familiar, and he should often come and go here.

"Sixth brother, why are you here?"

"Third brother, you forgot, we made an appointment to go horseback riding in the afternoon today. ā€

Gao Xun said with interest, his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief after catching a glimpse of Cheng Jinzhi on the side: "You, you... Why are you here? You're not a little Gu......."

"Sixth brother. ā€

Gao Heng immediately stopped him, and after beckoning the bird tamer on the side to leave, he said: "This matter is a long story, you have never been able to control your mouth, I was afraid that the matter would be publicized, so I didn't tell you." ā€

"Whoever can't control it, I can keep my mouth shut. ā€

Gao Xun muttered aggrievedly, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I know, it turns out that the third brother is stealing love with a knife, and the golden house is hidden ....... Jiao!

However, before Gao Xun could finish speaking, Gao Heng had already taken the apple on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

"After eating this apple, if I hear your nonsense again, I will go to the court tomorrow to beg my father and give you the lord of Anling. ā€

"Don't, don't, don't say it, don't say it. ā€

Gao Xun took a big bite of the apple fiercely, glanced at Gao Heng and Cheng Jinzhi with a suffocated face, and immediately changed his face.

"Then third brother, let's go horseback riding, that... You go too. ā€

"Me?"

Although Gao Xun's words were unintentional, they still made Cheng Jinzhi's heart sour, and now when he saw him asking himself, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Gao Heng naturally saw the worry in Cheng Jinzhi's heart, so he said: "It's okay to go and have a look, the racecourse is set up in the suburbs, and there are no idle people, so you should go and relax." ā€

"Well... All right. ā€

Cheng Jinzhi nodded, but saw Gao Xun looking at himself with disdain: "But little girl, can you ride a horse?"

"Little girl, you don't seem to be much older than me, do you?" Cheng Jinzhi glared at him unceremoniously, "Horseback riding, yes? Of course I will." ā€

However, as soon as the words came out, Cheng Jinzhi suddenly felt empty.

After all, she hadn't even sat in a carriage a few times, and she hadn't touched the saddle, so asking her to ride a horse didn't cost her her life?
