Since the room where the passage is located is not large, the length and width of the passage can only accommodate one person. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cheng Jinzhi lowered his body and looked inside, only to see that there was a staircase made of stone steps that continued down, but due to the deep and dim light of the corridor inside, he could not directly see all the structures in the secret passage.

But just like this, for Cheng Jinzhi, who has never been in contact with this kind of mechanism, just looking at it like this has already made her rub her shoulders and eager to try, as if she was going to go deep into the tiger's den and dragon pool to adventure, with a high-spirited face ready to go.

However, although she was in a high mood, she always hid behind Gao Heng and didn't dare to rush ahead, after all, if there were really any jackals, tigers and leopards below, wouldn't she be sure to hang up if she fell headlong so inexplicably?

"Then it's time for Pavilion Master Xu to lead the way for us. ”

Cheng Jinzhi turned his head and looked at Xu Ruyan with a smile, quickly straightened up and got out of the way, and pulled Gao Heng aside by the way.

"You still don't want to go down, this is the territory of Yuyin Villa, there are only two of us now, in case I make a mistake below, you might as well leave as soon as possible." ”

Just when Cheng Jinzhi was full of curiosity and wanted to find out, Gao Heng suddenly whispered such words in her ear with a solemn expression, which made her heart tighten, and immediately straightened her face and said unhappily: "I don't want it, am I such a greedy person who is afraid of death?" Besides, it's dark and gloomy down here, and it looks weird, I don't feel at ease if you go alone." ”

When Cheng Jinzhi said this, he deliberately turned his head and glanced at Xu Ruyan, but his tone became a little vague.

"Besides, with this woman by my side, I am even more worried. ”

"Really?" Gao Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, leaned forward, and lowered his voice, "Are you really just worried about me, or do you want to satisfy your curiosity out of novelty?"

"I... I'm still worried about you. ”

Cheng Jinzhi was poked by Gao Heng, and the expression on his face became a little awkward for a while: "Besides, if something happens, we will take care of each other." Although I know that I'm usually the one who causes you trouble. ”

"It's good that you know. ”

Gao Heng pretended to be dissatisfied, but there was no blame in his eyes, and seeing Cheng Jinzhi's pitiful appearance, he no longer imposed a stop.

However, he knew that the rivers and lakes were as sinister as the court, whether it was facing the entire Yuyin Villa or just Xu Ruyan standing in front of him, he needed to be vigilant and vigilant at all times, and he should not take it lightly.

Xu Ruyan on the side saw the two whispering and hesitated, knowing that they were worried about the safety of this secret passage, so he took the lead in stepping into the entrance of the secret passage, and then turned sideways and smiled.

"Is His Royal Highness King Yan worried that there will be some ambush in this secret passage, or what danger is hidden?"

Gao Heng raised the corners of his eyes slightly when he heard this: "It is reasonable for this king to have such concerns, right?"

Xu Ruyan looked at Gao Heng's bottomless eyes, stared for a moment, and slowly bowed and said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness and the princess, our people in Yuyin Villa have always done things above board, and they know how to repay their kindness." Young Master Gu is a friend of His Royal Highness, this time it is all up to His Highness to save the Gu family from disaster, and the safety of the Young Master will depend on His Highness in the future, how dare we be disrespectful to His Highness?"

Xu Ruyan spoke unhurriedly, spoke earnestly, and succinctly and clearly pointed out the position of both parties in this partnership. When she raised her head again to meet Gao Heng's gaze, there was already a little more temptation in her eyes.

"Pavilion Xu is serious, so please ask the Pavilion Master to lead the way. ”

Gao Heng indifferently swept Xu Ruyan's eyes with ulterior motives, looked at the entrance of the secret passage at his feet, and politely raised his hand towards her.

Seeing this, Xu Ruyan didn't say anything more, turned around and lifted the corner of her skirt, and took the lead to slowly step down the stairs at the entrance of the secret passage.

"Follow me. ”

Gao Heng also grabbed Cheng Jinzhi's hand as he spoke, and led her down one after the other.

This staircase is made of earth and stone, and the height is limited due to the limited space, so you can walk it all in a short time. When everyone had reached the bottom of the secret passage, Xu Ruyan turned the beast head mechanism next to the stairs, and the two floors above his head automatically closed again, and he couldn't see the slightest flaw.

As the last rays of light in the room were cut off by the floor, the entire passage was plunged into a dim light.

Cheng Jinzhi looked around, and saw that the design of this secret passage did not lead directly to the end, but there was a corner next to the gray wall facing the entrance of the secret passage, but what kind of scene was at the corner, standing in her position at the moment, she could not get a glimpse or two.

"It seems that this secret passage occupies a large area of your Jade Pavilion, no wonder when I first entered the Jade Pavilion, I always had an indescribable weirdness. ”

Gao Heng glanced around a few times, his sharp eyes swept inch by inch to every corner, and after confirming that there was no abnormality nearby, he slightly relaxed the tip of his eyebrows.

"It seems that His Royal Highness King Yan seems to have sensed something a long time ago. ”

Xu Ruyan's eyes flowed, and he stopped the skirt of Luo, which was moving forward.

"The dome of the Jade Pavilion is already high, and it stands to reason that since there is only a second floor, there should be no need to build the floor too high above the ground, otherwise it will inevitably look uncoordinated. But now it seems that there was a need to make room for this place, so the floor height had to be moved up to make room for this secret passage. ”

"Nothing can escape the eyes of His Highness. If those people sent by the Yasukuni Mansion could be half as talented as His Highness, I am afraid that this hostage would not have been able to hide it for a long time. ”

Looking at Xu Ruyan's appreciative expression, Cheng Jinzhi pursed his lips, pretended to look around and said suspiciously: "Speaking of hostages, where did Pavilion Master Xu hide the hostages?"

"Come with me, both of you. ”

Xu Ruyan restrained his expression, turned around and walked forward, and when the three of them walked to the corner, an arched stone door that was as high as a person appeared in front of them.

"There is even a door here, this Jade Yin Villa is really hidden enough. ”

Cheng Jinzhi thought secretly, and saw Xu Ruyan take out a pitch-black and smooth bead from his arms and put it into the groove next to the stone door, and with the sound of the sinking mechanism moving several times, the stone gate was slowly opened.

At the same time, Cheng Jinzhi also hurriedly retreated to the side with Gao Heng, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a lot, for fear that there would be some demons or impermanence yaksha running out of the door, and she would invite her to play cards and drink tea in the underworld.

Fortunately, it was all just her whims.

What catches your eye is a small, simply decorated stone room, which is furnished with footstools, tables and chairs for daily use, and a few dim oil lamps lit on the stone walls.

And Cheng Xiuning and Cheng Yu, who have been missing for a day and a night, are being tied hand and foot at the moment, leaning against the wall and sleeping unconscious, seemingly ignorant of all the movements around them.

"It's my second sister and that fat boy!"

Cheng Jinzhi's eyes flashed, and he just wanted to rush forward excitedly to check the safety of the two, but in a flash, he found that in the corner of the stone room, there was another person standing quietly.
