Chapter 119: Searching for Traces
"What? You said people were hiding in this room?"
Hearing Xu Ruyan's words, Cheng Jinzhi's eyes couldn't help but darken, tightened his eyebrows, and subconsciously looked around. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This music room is not big, and everywhere you look, from the landscape calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, to the plum brocade screen in front of you, as well as the vermilion lacquer cabinet behind the screen and all kinds of trivial ornaments, all the furnishings and decorations can be seen at a glance.
After all, if there were two big living people hiding here, even if he didn't find out about his nerves, Gao Heng, who had sharp intuition, should have noticed it, and it was impossible to wait for Xu Ruyan to remind him, and he couldn't predict where the hostages were hiding.
But at the same time, looking at Gao Heng's confused eyes, and then thinking of the secret room that Gao Xun mentioned before, she quickly understood in her heart that this seemingly ordinary room was actually unique.
"When Pavilion Master Xu said this, he didn't intend to tell him directly, but let this king find it himself?"
Gao Heng's sharp eyes slowly swept over everything beside him, and then retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Ruyan with a solemn expression.
"It is said that His Royal Highness King Yan is extremely intelligent and thoughtful, like a pipe guts, and I want to ask His Royal Highness to try his hand. ”
Xu Ruyan covered her face with her hands, smiled coquettishly, and then looked at Cheng Jinzhi, who was secretly observing.
"Princess Yan can also help from the side. In this corner, everything is clear at a glance, and if you husband and wife work together, you will be able to find the clue quickly. ”
"In the heart of Pavilion Master Xu, do you really think so?"
Cheng Jinzhi raised the corners of his lips slightly, and calmly met Xu Ruyan's smiling eyes, although he was silent on the surface, he could clearly see a trace of cunning from the depths of her eyes.
"Princess Yan is like a smoke, is there any misunderstanding?"
"No, no, it's just a casual remark, and I ask Pavilion Master Xu not to mind. ”
Cheng Jinzhi smiled perfunctorily, knowing that Xu Ruyan was deliberately embarrassed, and a sense of passivity and oppression suddenly rose in her heart, which made her unconsciously move closer to Gao Heng, and grabbed the cuffs in her hands.
"I have long heard that Yuyin Mountain Villa is full of talents, and it is also easy to use clever techniques such as Qimen Dunjia, no wonder during the day, the people of Cheng Mansion turned this place upside down and failed to find people as they wished. Gao Heng's eyes were cold, and his eyes suddenly turned cold, "It's just that this king rarely dabbles in this area, if he is lucky enough to find some traces, he also hopes that the master of Xu Pavilion can hand over the hostages safely, and this king has his own arrangements." ”
"That's nature. ”
Xu Ruyan bowed slightly, and consciously retreated to the door, looking self-satisfied with a bamboo in his chest, as if he was very sure that the mechanism he set up here would not be seen through by Gao Heng and Cheng Jinzhi.
"You're going to have to find the mechanism. Cheng Jinzhi saw that Xu Ruyan was some distance from him, so he leaned close to Gao Heng and said in a low voice, "That woman always gives me a feeling that if we can't find someone, we're going to blow us away." ”
"Do you think I'll give her a chance to do this?" Gao Heng said calmly, giving her a reassuring look, "Look around, just like Cen Changsi said, as long as people stop here, they will definitely leave clues." ”
After he finished speaking, he pretended to add seriously: "Besides, you and your second sister have been getting along day and night for so many years, maybe you have a heart." ”
"Who wants to have a heart-to-heart with her, you are still in the mood to joke at this time. ”
Cheng Jinzhi glanced at him with a slight displeasure, but out of the presence of outsiders, he immediately resumed the dignified and dignified attitude that a princess should have, and then said silently in his heart with emotion: "Alas, it would be nice if Xiaobao was here, his nose is so smart, he must be able to find anything." ”
After a brief sigh, she took a deep breath to cheer herself up and began to walk around the room.
Although for a moment, Cheng Jinzhi would also look up at the sky and complain that he was too soft-hearted. Obviously, the Cheng family used to treat her and her biological mother so meanly, disregarding life and death, persecuting many times, and dealing with Gao Heng in the dark, framing Gu Hanqing, and now it is rare to have such an opportunity to vent her hatred, but she does not use it, but instead helps to save people, which really makes people feel depressed.
But after thinking about it, in the depths of her heart, the so-called revenge is not to kill all the resentful people so ruthlessly, but to stand in front of them with a higher attitude, so that they can be severely suppressed, and at the same time, they can only bow down in a low voice, and they can never bully and hurt her.
Thinking like this, Cheng Jinzhi had already carefully turned over the furnishings of most of the room, and even picked up the painted glass bottles used to decorate the standing cabinet and the tea bowl placed on the table several times, but he never found any mechanism that could activate the secret passage or the secret room.
Of course, just such a small setback would make Cheng Jinzhi easily retreat, and she didn't care what Gao Hengzheng was standing motionless by the screen to observe, she took care of herself and rolled up her sleeves and knocked every wall seriously.
But after a serious knock, her heart was heavy that every wall in this room was made of real lime and brick, and none of them made her feel hollow, or rather, different from the sound made by the other two walls.
"How is that possible? If there is a secret room here, there must be an empty wall, otherwise how can another room be filled in?"
Although Cheng Jinzhi didn't know anything about the tricks, she still knew a little bit about the common sense of this space.
"The so-called secret room or secret passage does not have to be on the wall. ”
Hearing this, Gao Heng turned around and walked towards Cheng Jinzhi, the corner of his eyes swept past Xu Ruyan, who was standing not far away, and saw that her face was slightly different, and the light in her eyes became more firm.
"Did you find anything?"
Cheng Jinzhi saw that Gao Heng's eyes were shining, and he was staring at a colorful ink landscape painting hanging in the middle of the main wall opposite, so he followed his line of sight towards this painting.
This seems to be a picture scroll depicting the spring color of Linjiang, and there is no author's signature and engraving at the end of the scroll, but a poem is inscribed in juanxiu's line.
The spring water flows eastward across the river, and the flowers and moons are brighter at night.
Just as Cheng Jinzhi tilted his head, bit his lip, and began to guess what clues were in this painting, he saw Gao Heng suddenly retract his gaze, lift his clothes and sit down in front of the guqin.
"Jin Zhi, didn't you just say that you want to hear me play a song?
"Eh, what are you ......doing at this juncture?"
Cheng Jinzhi was halfway through speaking, looking at Gao Heng's slightly shining eyes, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and looked sideways at Xu Ruyan standing by the door. saw that although her complexion was as calm as ever, in the phoenix eyes that were originally smiling, there was no smile at all.
