Chapter Ninety-Nine: Tracing Back to the Roots
Because he suddenly found the object left by Gu Hanqing, so that his clueless whereabouts were finally traceable, Cheng Jinzhi blurted out in excitement for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 If it weren't for Cheng Sujin's sarcastic remarks, she wouldn't have realized that in her current status, this sentence is indeed inappropriate.
Especially Cen Feng, an outsider who didn't know anything about her past, was present, and as soon as Cheng Sujin's words fell, he had already glanced at Gao Heng, who was silent on the side, with strange eyes, as if he was speculating about something.
"Not everyone is as small-bellied as Miss Cheng."
Just when Cheng Jinzhi was secretly worried in his heart that Gao Heng would be unhappy about this, he saw him looking up at Cheng Sujin expressionlessly, with a hint of indifferent mockery on his lips.
"The rich and pungent smell of fat powder on Miss Cheng's body is not only this king, but I am afraid that even the snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding in the dark of this cell have smelled one or two."
"I ......"
Cheng Sujin was stunned by Gao Heng for a while, staring at her charming phoenix eyes, and was suddenly speechless.
If she is most obsessed, there is nothing more than Gu Hanqing still thinking about Cheng Jinzhi, and she is as cold as ice to herself, turning a blind eye. She originally wanted to use this to provoke the relationship between Cheng Jinzhi and Gao Heng, but she never thought that she would be choked back by Gao Heng mercilessly.
But this eldest lady of the Cheng family, who has always liked to be competitive, did not dare to refute it.
Not only because the other party was a noble prince, but also because of the frost-like chill in Gao Heng's eyes, she suddenly felt a sense of fear in her heart.
In desperation, Cheng Sujin could only swallow a breath of great anger, bit his lower lip tightly, and stepped aside to stop talking.
However, Cheng Jinzhi didn't know that although Gao Heng didn't think so on the surface, he even stood up for her to resolve this embarrassment. But in fact, when he heard Cheng Jinzhi say those words without hesitation, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.
"Su Jin, the situation is urgent, don't talk nonsense." Cheng Yan glared at Cheng Sujin, who was full of gloom, and looked at the sachet in Cheng Jinzhi's hand and frowned, "This sachet, if it was really deliberately left by Han Qing, what is the use?" ”
Cen Feng also stepped forward and took a closer look: "Will there be any notes or anything like that?" ”
"I have checked, the workmanship of this sachet is meticulous, the thread is evenly routed, and there are no traces of re-sewing, unlike someone who has been tampered with later." Gao Heng twisted his eyebrows slightly, "Besides, when Hanqing was taken away, he shouldn't know where he would be taken, and he didn't have time to leave any notes." ”
Cheng Jinzhi nodded thoughtfully on the side, pursed his lips and said tentatively: You say, what was the sachet originally for? ”
Gao Heng's eyes fluttered when he heard this: "Did you think of something?" ”
"I remember, when I was a child, my mother told me..."Cheng Jinzhi subconsciously glanced at Cheng Yan when he mentioned his biological mother, but quickly looked away and continued, "She told me that when you encounter difficulties or don't know what to do, don't think about how complicated and difficult it is, but think about it as simple as possible." ”
"What does Princess Yan mean, go back to the source?"
"Pretty much."
Cheng Jinzhi raised the corners of his mouth at Cen Feng and handed him the sachet in his hand.
"If I'm not mistaken, this aroma should be the scent of Angelica Angelica." Cen Feng took the sachet close to the tip of his nose and sniffed it for a moment, and then said, "It is said that Bai Zhilan is only produced in the area of Heshan in the south of the Yangtze River, and the quantity is very small, and it is a very rare fragrance material. Although it smells fragrant and elegant, the fragrance is very long-lasting, as if it can last for days. ”
"I didn't expect that Cen Changsi also had research on spices."
"Nothing." Cen Feng waved his hand at Gao Heng, "It's just because Cen has a friend who knows how to make incense, so he knows a little bit about it." ”
"But... What exactly can this scent be used for? ”
Cheng Jinzhi said to herself, and just as she tilted her head in thought, a few loud and confident dog barks suddenly sounded in her ears, which sounded like they should have come from the netherworld path she had just passed.
"How can you still hear a dog barking in this prison?" Cheng Jinzhi turned his face, looked outside the prison room a few times, and joked, "Could it be that the prison of Dali Temple is so open-minded that prisoners are allowed to bring their pets to stay together?" ”
"It was raised by the head of Zhang Prison, who guards the prison here." Cen Feng glanced out and explained, "The Heavenly Prison is heavily cloudy, and the prisoners who come in rarely have the opportunity to go out again. Having a dog with you can not only deter the villains, but also have a companion when you are lonely, which is also very useful. ”
"I see." Cheng Jinzhi showed interest, "Then it screamed so loudly just now, did it smell something delicious?" You have to know that this dog's nose is smart......"
"Wait."
Before Cheng Jinzhi could finish speaking, Gao Heng suddenly interrupted her, and his eyes flashed.
At the same time, everyone else suddenly brightened up, and Gao Heng thought of one place invariably.
"A dog's nose is really smart." Seeing that things had found a breakthrough, Cheng Yan's face showed a hint of excitement, "Since this kind of white zhilan has been fragrant for a long time, it will definitely help us find traces of Hanqing." ”
"In this way, we are going to borrow Zhang Cell's dog."
Gao Heng said that he was the first to walk out of the cell, and Cheng Jinzhi couldn't wait to follow when he saw this.
Zhang Jiaotou is a middle-aged man with a rough face and a beard.
His dog, called Xiaobao, was a large hunting dog with a dark coat and a hint of brown and yellow.
At this moment, it is erecting two triangular ears, vigilantly observing the movements around it. A pair of big crystal eyes are smart and lovely, and the big furry tail is wagging around, and it does not seem alienated and afraid of the arrival of strangers.
"Xiaobao, you stay in this cage day after day, you must have seen the warmth and coldness of the world, right?"
Cheng Jinzhi squatted down and stroked Xiaobao's soft head with emotion, the sadness in his eyes was fleeting, and then an amiable warmth appeared.
Cheng Sujin stood far away, pretending to be afraid of the dog on the surface, but what she was really afraid of was the majestic hound in front of her, who would help them find out Gu Hanqing's whereabouts.
Because the sachet found in the prison cell was Gu Hanqing's personal belongings, it was a unique breath on his body. And the sense of smell of dogs is naturally thousands of times more sensitive than that of humans, and Gu Hanqing has not been away for a long time, as long as Xiao Bao is allowed to follow the aroma of this white angelica along the way, even if he can't determine the specific location where he is now, he can roughly lock in a direction.
"Alas, it is said that raising children to prevent old age, I think that when I am old, it is most reliable to raise a dog."
Cen Feng looked at Xiao Bao, who was shaking his head, and quipped, but saw Gao Heng standing opposite him and said unhurriedly: "What Cen Changsi said is not unreasonable. ”
He raised his eyes slightly and smiled indifferently, his deep eyes slowly condensed into a beam of cold light, and every word was loud.
"After all, this dog will always be a dog, but people, sometimes not necessarily people."
