Chapter 365: Charcoal in the Snow

The pre-dawn darkness was like a thick ink stain, staining the night sky even darker and heavier. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When hope turns into a bubble one after another, the feeling of darkness and impenetrable light is like forcing people into a dead end with no way out, and it is so depressed that it is difficult to breathe.

Gao Heng sat quietly on the rosewood chair with his eyes closed, his slender fingers on his forehead, and his other hand held Cheng Jinzhi's half-embroidered purse, and his whole body was covered with a layer of solemn and desolate coldness.

The dim light cast on the delicate contours of his cheeks, reflecting the deep self-reproach and helplessness between his brows more clearly.

Xiao Yuan's clue was broken, and even if he held a knife on his neck to coerce and lure, he insisted that he didn't know where Cheng Jinzhi was.

And Princess Yuanxi has not returned yet, and the group of people who followed her out of the city suddenly disappeared like the world.

At this moment, in Gao Heng's heart, his doubts about Heng Wang Yuanpeng began to become more and more serious.

He is like the most abrupt point in the whole thing, no matter how you look at it, it is full of doubts that are difficult to see.

It's just that this person is also hidden in this darkness at the moment, along with all hopes, and there is no trace of it.

In this huge capital, it is too difficult to find a person who is deliberately hidden in the vast sea of people and thousands of lights.

"Gao Hengβ€”"

Just when everything was silent and hopeless, he seemed to suddenly hear the call of helplessness and attachment from the distance of Cheng Jinzhicong, which made him suddenly open his eyes.

"Golden Branch!"

Gao Heng's breath stagnated, only to feel that the voice was still in his ears, extremely real, making his whole person seem excited.

He picked up the saber in his hand and quickly stood up.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Shen Jun was originally standing by the door and waiting, but when he saw Gao Heng suddenly shouting Cheng Jinzhi's name, he hurriedly walked over with a concerned face.

"Did you hear it? It's the voice of the Golden Branch......

Gao Heng walked to the door excitedly, and his eyes fell on the dark night sky in front of him, and he could really feel in his heart that Cheng Jinzhi was not far from him.

"Your Highness, you must be missing and worried about the princess too much, so you have this illusion. ”

"It's not a delusion, the golden branch must be in danger now, I can't wait any longer!"

Gao Heng said and resolutely clenched the long sword in his hand, his eyes flashed, and he was about to step out of the room without saying a word.

"Your Highness, where are you going, Your Highness?"

Seeing this, Shen Jun was afraid that Gao Heng would act impulsively for Cheng Jinzhi's sake, so he hurriedly withdrew and blocked in front of him.

"To find the prince, of course. ”

Gao Heng coldly spit out these words, and then stopped saying more, and secretly made up his mind in his heart.

"Your Highness, by all means, Your Highness, don't act impulsively!"

Shen Jun couldn't help but kneel down when he heard this, clasped his hands into fists, and said earnestly.

"Your Highness, if you go to the crown prince at this time, it will inevitably make things bigger, and not only will things be difficult to clean up, but even the princess may have to worry about her life. ”

"Shen Jun, you have been by my side for so many years, don't you know the prince's thoughts?"

Seeing Shen Jun blocking him, Gao Heng knew that he was also out of loyalty, so he took a deep breath and eased his emotions a little.

"Even if I promise to confess my guilt in front of his father on his behalf, he may not let Jin Zhi come back safe and sound, his purpose is not just to find a scapegoat, he wants to get rid of me and the entire Yanwang Mansion. If I conform to him this time, I will inevitably be condemned by my father. In the future, not only me, the Yan King, but also Jin Zhi, my children, and the entire palace will be affected, do you understand?"

Although Gao Heng is now worried about Cheng Jinzhi's current situation, he also knows the truth of a game of chess, one wrong step, and one wrong step.

Even if you can't wait and are upset at the moment, you will still think about the future in the long run.

In Gao Heng's opinion, even if he puts a sword against the prince's neck now to force him to hand over Cheng Jinzhi, it will make things bigger.

It is better than being at the mercy of him to take responsibility for the crime, and when Cheng Jinzhi's safety cannot be guaranteed, he is trapped in the Yanwang Mansion in dire straits.

Although this is the worst plan, it is also the most direct and beneficial threat to the most life-sparing prince.

Since he can't have the best of both worlds, he'd rather die and break the net.

"Your Highness, your subordinates know that you are eager to save your wife, but you just took the liberty of going to the crown prince, he will definitely not admit that he arrested the princess, if this matter reaches the ears of His Majesty, he will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, and it is really worth the loss for us. ”

Shen Jun saw that Gao Heng had made up his mind, his expression was tenacious, and he knew that it was difficult for him to persuade, but he couldn't watch his master in danger, and his heart was extremely anxious for a while, and he was even more at a loss.

"What do you think I can do now? Do you sit here and wait until dawn?"

Gao Heng frowned and looked at Shen Jun kneeling in front of him, his tone was not harsh, but full of helplessness and worry.

"Jin Zhi and my child, I don't know what kind of torture they are suffering now? My imperial brother is ruthless, what can't he do? I'm afraid that if I am one step too late, I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”

He lowered his eyes gloomily, then took a deep breath to recover his grim color, tightened his brows, and took a step in awe.

"It's almost dawn, I can't wait any longer, get out of the way. ”

"Your Highness!"

"Get out of the way!"

Gao Heng pretended to be displeased and shouted, but when he saw the corners of Shen Jun's lips pursed, he suddenly stood up and put the sword in his hand in front of Gao Heng.

"Shen Jun, what do you want to do?"

"The subordinates' lives were saved by His Highness, and his subordinates can't watch His Highness risk his life. ”

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. ”

Looking at Shen Jun's pleading and sincere eyes, Gao Heng's eyebrows moved slightly, and his gaze was slightly condensed.

After a while, he turned his heart sideways, put away the emotion on his face, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

"If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being polite. ”

As he spoke, he was about to draw his sword, and saw that the two of them were about to face each other......

At this moment, in the night fog, I saw that the guards in charge of patrolling the mansion suddenly rushed towards this place in a hurry.

As soon as he saw Gao Heng, he didn't care about saluting, and hurriedly handed over the things in his hand.

"Your Highness, this is what someone shot into the courtyard with a bow and crossbow just now!"

Gao Heng stopped his steps and jumped between his eyebrows, raised his hand to take the wooden tablet used to transmit the message in this person's hand, and pulled out a note from it, faintly realizing something in his heart.

He quickly unfolded the note, and when his eyes touched the words on it, his heart shook and his eyes widened in disbelief.

I saw that it was written-

Zhou Mansion in Huayi Lane, Xueqian Street, north of the city, people's lives are at stake, come quickly.
