Chapter 118: Hiding a knife in a smile
The woman in front of her eyebrows is picturesque, her demeanor is thousands, her temperament between her eyebrows is dignified, not delicate, and she has a charming charm of maturity and wisdom. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This person is Xu Ruyan, the owner of the Jade Pavilion, and she is also one of the few women in the Jade Yin Villa.
Because of her outstanding appearance and outstanding ability, even if she is just a woman, she can also occupy a place in the rivers and lakes, and there is an endless stream of people of the opposite sex who are in love, including Nanqing, the young owner of Yuyin Villa.
However, after many years of ups and downs, she has never been moved by any scenery, even though she is almost entering the age of standing, she is still alone, which makes many followers sigh and regret.
Xu Ruyan in front of him smiled softly, and the charming and moving phoenix eyes fell on Gao Heng, stopped for a moment, and the lips of Yan Rudanguo pursed shallowly, and he was courteous.
"Ruyan didn't know that His Royal Highness King Yan came to visit late at night, and he missed the welcome, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins. ”
"Pavilion Master Xu doesn't have to be polite. ”
Gao Heng bowed slightly, the expression on his face was still as calm as water, as if it was a routine, and he did not show the slightest enthusiasm because he was a beautiful woman with a jade appearance in front of him.
However, Cheng Jinzhi, who was standing behind him, had silently changed several expressions, from surprise to curiosity to looking, completely like a child watching the flower drum show for the first time.
"No wonder this Jade Pavilion is full of good-looking girls, it turns out that even the pavilion master in charge of this matter is so beautiful. Alas, this is really a world of faces, if all the people playing the piano and singing at the bottom are the three aunts and six women who are heavy in fat, then this Shuyu Pavilion is estimated to have been closed for dinner. ”
Thinking about it with emotion, seeing Xu Ruyan's eyes turn to him, Cheng Jinzhi hurriedly tightened his face calmly, wanting to smile, but the corners of his mouth stiffened and couldn't smile.
"Forgive me for being rude, if I guessed correctly, this prince next to His Highness has bright eyes and bright teeth, jade bones and ice muscles, it should be a girl's family, right?"
Gao Heng's eyes turned slightly when he heard this, and he didn't seem surprised, and smiled indifferently: "How can Pavilion Master Xu see it?"
Before Cheng Jinzhi was surprised at where he was not covering up enough, Xu Ruyan continued with a smile: "Your Highness left the mansion late at night, without a servant, but with a girl dressed as a man and a woman, presumably this girl is most likely the princess Yan favored by His Royal Highness." ”
"Pavilion Master Xu is really powerful, and you can see the clue in just a moment. ”
Cheng Jinzhi barely squeezed out a smile and glanced at his clothes, but he suddenly felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
The princess smiled. ”
Xu Ruyan bowed lightly when she heard this, and the hairpin flower on her bun swayed.
"It's just that in this Jade Pavilion, I need to deal with all kinds of people every day, and I have seen a lot of all kinds of people, and my eyes are naturally much sharper. ”
"Since Lord Xu Ge's mind is so exquisite, he wants to come to his heart clearly, what is the so-called matter of this king's coming this time. ”
Gao Heng's eyes turned sharply slightly, but he did not ask about the hostage's whereabouts now.
First, he didn't believe that the content of the news sent by the Cheng family to report was true, and second, he didn't want Xu Ruyan to know that he was actually being restrained by another force at the moment.
In other words, if Yuyin Villa learns that Cheng Yan intends to target his suspicions at this moment, it will not only be not beneficial to this already risky partnership, but may also bring unnecessary trouble and suspicion.
"Ruyan naturally knows. Xu Ruyan cautiously glanced sideways outward, and saw that there was no movement outside, so he said slowly, "It's just that Young Master Gu is still in prison and hasn't been able to retreat, and things seem to be a little different from what we expected before." ”
As soon as Gao Heng heard Xu Ruyan's words, he knew that she had other thoughts in her heart, but what kind of plan was it, he couldn't see through it for a while.
However, from the very beginning, he already knew that neither the Jade Yin Villa nor the charming woman in front of him was a general person who could easily deal with it.
But fortunately, they are people in the rivers and lakes after all, forming gangs and factions, discussing sword competitions, and still being able to dominate one side, but if they want to compete with the prince and the ministers of the current dynasty, and drag Gu Hanqing and the Gu family out of the dire crisis, they must rely on the authority of the relatives of the cane emperor after all.
For this reason alone, even if they have different intentions, they must not have any scruples about themselves out of consideration of interests, and dare not act rashly.
"What happened in the capital today, I think Xu Pavilion Lord has already heard about it. ”
Gao Heng took a step forward, and although his voice was low, it sounded very calm and powerful.
"Although Young Master Gu is in the Spirit Slayer Division at the moment, he is at least out of danger temporarily, and at the same time, he has also kept the safety of the Gu family. If the Gu family is overturned today, Yuyin Villa will be affected to some extent, and being able to get along with each other this time is already a relatively respite result, isn't it?"
"It's really not the worst possible outcome. Xu Ruyan's slender eyelashes swayed up and down, and then suddenly stopped, projecting a charming and sharp light from the bottom of his eyes.
"But... Nor is it the best. ”
"The best and the worst, caused by the current situation, are not up to you and me. Gao Heng calmly avoided her direct gaze, and said unhurriedly, "Many times, since you can't get the best result, as long as it's not the worst, you should be grateful." You can't be too greedy. ”
Gao Heng's face was as cold as snow, and his mouth was as shallow as ice, seeing that Xu Ruyan moved his red lips but didn't speak, he continued: "It's useless to keep hostages. It is not that the men and horses of Yasukuni have not come here to search. Your land seems to be hidden, but it is not a perfect place, if Cheng Yan's children stay any longer, it will be a hidden danger for you and me after all. ”
"So... What does His Royal Highness King Yan mean that you want us to release people?"
Xu Ruyan raised her chin lightly, and when she said the last four words, her eyes were firmly fixed on Gao Heng. The pair of amorous phoenix eyes were full of autumn waves, turning back and forth, accompanied by the slight upward movement of the corners of his lips intentionally or unintentionally, seeing Cheng Jinzhi gritting his teeth angrily on the side, he couldn't help but step forward and interrupt the conversation between the two.
"Does Lord Xu Ge think that His Royal Highness and I came here late at night to enjoy the wind and the moon, drink and listen to music?"
Although Cheng Jinzhi had a polite smile on his face, his words were a little cold and hard.
In her opinion, although Xu Ruyan was born beautiful, there was a faint hint of dust and sophistication in her gestures, which made her feel uncomfortable just by looking at it like this.
But she didn't know that this feeling of discomfort did not come from Xu Ruyan, but because of Gao Heng beside her.
If Xu Ruyan's smiling person at this moment was King Gao Xun of Jin, or other strange men, she would definitely not feel this way.
"Princess Yan is a little restless, like smoke does not mean this. ”
Xu Ruyan was still smiling, slowly moved his gaze back, and then glanced around meaningfully, and when he looked at the two of them again, the smile in his eyes was even worse.
In fact, the hostage that the two of them said was in this music room at the moment. ”
