Chapter 123: There Is No Cave in the Sky (Ask for the First Order)
Hearing Cheng Jinzhi suddenly mention the exit of the secret passage, Xu Ruyan and Ye Fei were both stunned, although a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time, but at first glance, this kind of surprise was different. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If Xu Ruyan revealed more worries and concerns, then what Ye Fei showed was like amazement and doubt about something.
Of course, this extremely subtle expression was only for a moment, and soon disappeared from the faces of the two.
"This passage outside the door leads directly to this stone room, except for the entrance where we just came down, it doesn't look like there is a way out, why does Princess Yan think that there are other exits to this secret passage?"
Xu Ruyan's eyes flowed, and he slowly withdrew in front of Cheng Jinzhi.
"Because of these cobwebs on the wall. ā
Cheng Jinzhi raised his eyebrows, raised his finger and pointed to the gray silk woven in the corner of the wall.
"You see, apart from this stone door, there are three walls here, and two of them have stacks of cobwebs in the corners, but the corners of this one are so clean, isn't it strange?"
Seeing that everyone moved their eyes to the position she was pointing at, she continued to explain: "So I guess it's probably because this wall often moves and often bothers Uncle Spider to make a nest, so it doesn't dare to settle in this place. Moreover, the candles on this wall also burn much faster than the other two candlesticks, anyway, this wall is weird. ā
Cheng Jinzhi tilted his head to look at the stone wall blocked by Xu Ruyan, and when he came back to his senses, he found that she had moved away from her delicate body, although the corners of her mouth were smiling, her face was a little gloomy.
"Princess Yan is really delicate, I didn't expect to see the clues from this ordinary spider web. ā
"It's nothing, it's just that when I was locked up in the firewood house when I was a child, I didn't have to work and could only look at the spiders on the beams......"
However, just as Cheng Jinzhi blurted out unconsciously, Gao Heng suddenly interrupted her words and reached out to gently pull her cuffs as a reminder.
After all, in front of outsiders, Cheng Jinzhi is also a lady from Houmen, and this statement that the left one is closed in the firewood room and the right one has to work, which really makes people feel a little incredible.
"Yes, who made you so naughty when you were a child, so that Mrs. Cheng could only lock you up in the firewood room to scare and scare you. ā
"Oh, yes, that's naughty. ā
Cheng Jinzhi stiffened and smiled awkwardly, reluctantly complying with Gao Heng's words, but he rolled his eyes greatly in his heart, and suddenly a burst of bitterness swelled up.
Those pampered brothers and sisters are in charge of their homes, and even if they go around causing trouble and tearing down the roof, they will not be punished too heavily. And as the same child of the Cheng family, he lacks food and clothing every day, works hard, but he will be beaten and scolded at every turn, confined and punished, in this cruel and world-wide gap, it is more than ten years in a flash, although he has escaped from the ascension to heaven at this moment, but every time he thinks about it, it still makes Cheng Jinzhi feel resentful in his heart, and sighs that people are cold.
The three people in front of the meeting had different eyes, all waiting for themselves to answer their questions, Xu Ruyan's eyelashes moved twice as if they were making a trade-off, and after taking a deep breath, he covered his hand on the cold wall.
"Princess Yan is right, there is indeed some space behind this wall. ā
Xu Ruyan's gaze stopped on the wall, but his tone was a little cold and hard.
However, at the beginning of the construction of this secret passage, it was originally used to store grain and wine, plus to take in some righteous people in the rivers and lakes, when it was repaired here, unfortunately there was a little accident, and it was not continued to be repaired, so the back of this door became a storage room, and there was no exit to communicate with the outside, and over time, it was not restarted. ā
"Then this is the most secret storage room in the world. ā
Cheng Jinzhi pretended to sigh and ridiculed, obviously skeptical of Xu Ruyan's words.
Of course, not only Cheng Jinzhi, but also Gao Heng's cold eyes did not have any sense of trust.
It's just that everyone knows in their hearts, since Xu Ruyan, who is the owner of the Jade Pavilion, has flatly denied it, his attitude is that he doesn't want outsiders to get involved in this unknown realm behind the wall, if he insists on exposing it at this time, it will inevitably embarrass everyone and cause unnecessary disputes.
However, what made the two strange was that Ye Fei, who claimed to be guarding here, also showed the same suspicious expression.
"Isn't Brother Ye from Yuyin Villa, how can he seem to know nothing about the situation behind this wall?"
Cheng Jinzhi saw that Ye Fei was also staring at this stone wall with an abnormal expression, and couldn't help but ask, but when Cheng Jinzhi asked like this, his eyes tightened, his face suddenly turned around, turned his head and explained with a smile: "Oh, I was just sent to the capital by the young master to help these days, so many things have not yet been explained by Lord Xu, which makes Princess Yan smile." ā
As soon as his words fell, he deliberately glanced at Xu Ruyan twice, and saw Xu Ruyan's cheeks getting tighter, and his face was unnaturally perfunctory: "Yes, anyway, it's not an important place behind this wall, and it's not too late to know now." ā
"That's right......"
Cheng Jinzhi nodded meaningfully, biting his lower lip, and secretly speculating in his heart.
"It seems that behind this wall there is a high-level secret of Yuyin Villa, this person named Ye Fei is probably not qualified enough to participate in it, and today I was so pried by me, it is estimated that this Xu Pavilion Lord will not send him to stay here again. ā
After thinking about it, she pursed her lips with some self-reproach, and turned to meet Xu Ruyan's heavy eyes.
"So we're going to have to go back the way we came later?"
Seeing Xu Ruyan nodding yes, she looked nervously at the Cheng family sisters and brothers who were leaning against the wall: "What about the hostages?
"It's almost time. Xu Ruyan raised his eyes and said unhurriedly, "In a while, Shuyu Pavilion will also be closed, and then all parts of Suzaku Street will be turned off and closed, how did we send these two people in at the beginning, how can we send them out now, please Your Highness and the princess don't worry." ā
"Okay, then everything will be the Lord of the Lao Xu Pavilion. ā
Gao Heng thanked him, and Cheng Jinzhi didn't say more.
Seeing that everything had been negotiated, she took a few steps around and unconsciously clasped her hands around her shoulders.
When she first arrived, she felt fresh and curious, but she didn't feel a chill. But now after a long time, I only feel that this secret passage and the stone room are cold, which makes people feel faintly cold all over the body, and the nose is itchy and just wants to sneeze, but before the clinker can sneeze out, Cheng Xiuning, who was sleeping unconscious by the wall, suddenly moved her neck.
After a moment of silence, he coughed loudly.
