Chapter 100: One Step Away
"Jin'er, you go back first, your eldest brother was injured, and your second sister and second brother haven't been found yet, and the family needs someone to take care of them at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
As soon as she walked out of the prison of Dali Temple, Cheng Yan saw that Cheng Sujin's face was dull and her heart was heavy, so she sent her back home first.
"Dad, but he ...... cold"
Cheng Sujin's eyes turned pale, and he tightened his cheeks pretending to be worried, and a little melancholy overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
Everything was still up in the air, and she didn't want to leave at this time. But she is still thoughtful in the end, and she knows that it is useless for her to stay here, not only will she have to be angry with Cheng Jinzhi at all times, but she also has to keep a face and continue to pretend, it is better to go back and talk to Zhang first.
In any case, it is better for two people to plot against each other than to be afraid of being here alone.
"Don't worry, he'll be safe. ”
Cheng Yan said and walked with Cheng Sujin to the carriage parked at the door, walked a few steps, and suddenly lowered his voice and said meaningfully in her ear: "The group of people I sent to Shuyu Pavilion to search for should also have news at this time." ”
Cheng Sujin was stunned for a moment, knowing that the reason why Cheng Yan didn't say this in public was because he was suspicious of Gao Heng and the others, so he bowed slightly towards him, and then opened the curtain and got into the carriage.
Looking at Cheng Sujin's carriage, Cheng Jinzhi was also secretly relieved in his heart.
Sending away a person who opposes her everywhere and speaks ill of her all the time, anyone will feel comfortable.
"Princess Yan said before that she was unwell, so it was better to go back to the house to rest earlier, if it aggravated the cold, it would not be good. ”
Just as Cheng Jinzhi relaxed his mind and stretched his eyebrows, Cheng Yan suddenly turned around and said with concern.
"Oh, no. Cheng Jinzhi looked at Cheng Yan's kind and peaceful eyes, and his heart trembled violently, "I... I'm fine. ”
Her hands hidden in her sleeves clasped ten fingers, only to feel that somewhere deep in her heart, a corner that had been forgotten for many years suddenly glowed, illuminating the inner wall of her heart. Although this light and heat were quickly extinguished, it still made her heart unable to calm down for a long time.
This is probably the first time in her memory that she has been cared for by this man who calls her father, right?
She pulled out a far-fetched smile towards Cheng Yan, and in the eyes of outsiders, it not only looked a little rusty, but also a little stiff and embarrassing.
It's not like the usual communication between a daughter and her father, it's more like two former enemies reuniting after a long absence, determined to make peace.
And the reason why Cheng Yan expressed his concern for Cheng Jinzhi for the first time was indeed not out of a father's love for his daughter.
His original intention, in addition to not wanting Cen Feng, an outsider, to feel that he treats his children differently, is also to plan for the future.
After all, he is now in the same boat as Gao Heng, and if Gao Heng is worried because of Cheng Jinzhi, it will inevitably cast a shadow on this partnership.
"Why didn't Lord Cheng go back to the house with Miss Cheng?" Gao Heng turned his head to look at Cheng Yan sideways, his eyes darkened, "The group of people sent out just now should already have news, right?"
Cheng Yan didn't expect Gao Heng to guess his thoughts, so he hurriedly coughed to hide the slight tremor between his eyebrows, and said with a stern face: "It would be great if those people could find the child, but if not, Han Qing would have to be saved after all." ”
He said and muttered for a moment, and his tone suddenly turned tough: "I won't watch my godson be poisoned by the prince like this." ”
"Then it's up to Xiaobao. ”
Cen Feng patted the hound beside him who was looking around and was in high spirits, ready to start this "long way to go" search operation.
Cheng Yan made a lot of trouble in the city last night in order to find his missing children, and Cen Feng naturally knew a thing or two about it.
But he has never been a well-wisher who likes to meddle in things, so even in front of Cheng Yan, he didn't ask too much.
"But you're all people of status, and it's too ostentatious to walk down the street together. ”
"Cen Changsi is really thoughtful. Cheng Yan looked at Cen Feng seriously: "But if this matter is handed over to someone else to do, the old man still feels uneasy." ”
Master Cheng is rightly worried. Cen Feng thought for a while, raised his eyes and said, "That's it, Xiaobao is familiar with me, so let Cen carry it in front." You can sit behind the inner sanctum of the carriage and accompany you, so that you can take care of anything else. ”
"That's... I also want to follow Xiaobao to find someone. At this time, Cheng Jinzhi suddenly said with a slight twist, "I specially asked Zhang Jiaotou for a little beef jerky that Xiaobao usually likes to eat, and if it is tired, I can feed it a little." ”
"Sure enough, it's still a child. Gao Heng shook his head helplessly, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, "Go ahead, don't make trouble for Lord Cen." ”
Seeing the excitement on Cheng Jinzhi's face, Cen Feng couldn't help but laugh and said: "Princess Yan is so loving, no wonder Xiaobao is so close to the princess when we meet for the first time." ”
"Cen Changsi has won the award. Cheng Jinzhi squatted in front of Xiaobao and smiled, "Probably because I'm not afraid of it, right? After all, animals like humans want to see others like it, not indifferently alienate it." ”
After the group agreed, Cen Feng let Xiao Bao smell the sachet left by Gu Hanqing carefully, so that he could remember this unique white angel orchid fragrance as much as possible, so that he could find Gu Hanqing's traces faster.
Soon, the well-trained hound began to follow the lingering scent in the air.
It looked down along the road intermittently, sometimes stopping to shake itself and scratch its ears a few times. Although the speed was slow at times, fortunately everything went in an orderly manner, and I walked through the alley all the way to the crowded market.
"Ouch, where is this such a big dog, it's scared to death. ”
"Tsk, look at its fangs, if you bite people?"
"That's right, I'll just say that young people nowadays are really getting more and more unpleasant. ”
“……”
Suddenly, I saw a fierce hound appear on the street, which provoked passers-by on both sides to talk endlessly and retreat, for fear of being injured.
Of course, Cheng Jinzhi didn't pay attention to the pointing and pointing of the pedestrians next to him, but threw the jerky in his hand to Xiaobao as a reward.
"Xiaobao, if you can find Brother Hanqing, I will cover all the meat of your dog career. ”
And Gao Heng sat in the carriage, looking at Cheng Jinzhi, who was talking and frolicking with Xiaobao not far ahead, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Master Cheng, Jin Zhi, she... Probably more like her mother, right?"
Cheng Yan was originally thinking about it with his eyebrows lowered, but was asked coldly by Gao Heng, hesitated for a moment, and then adjusted his face and said, "Why did Your Highness suddenly ask that?"
"Nothing. Gao Heng's gaze still fell on Cheng Jinzhi, "Because I haven't seen her mother, I'm just a little curious." ”
"Her mother..."
Cheng Yan opened his mouth to speak, but stopped. The immovable gaze seemed to penetrate the vast time and space, and there was a burst of sorrow and hatred in the bottom of his eyes.
He turned his head and took a deep breath to retract his expression, and was about to continue, but saw that the carriage, which had been moving smoothly, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
He frowned, leaned forward nervously and lifted the curtain, only to see Cheng Jinzhi and Cen Feng stop at the fork in the road ahead, while Xiaobao was spinning in place, as if he had encountered an obstacle that prevented him from moving forward.
At the same time, Gao Heng's slightly grim voice sounded in his ears.
"Not good. The clue is here, and it seems to be broken. ”
