The night was boundless, and the moonlight shrouded this soft and silent night like a mist woven from a hazy silver veil, flickering in the clouds. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The room is fragrant and warm, and the candlelight is flickering.

A pair of Qianqian jade hands poured the fragrant and pure wine into the blue glazed porcelain cup placed on the table, accompanied by a light and pleasant sound, and then gently pulled up Luo sleeves and withdrew his hands in front of him, and sat down on the opposite side elegantly.

"I don't know why Princess Yan didn't come with Her Royal Highness tonight?"

Xu Ruyan's lips opened slightly, looking at Gao Heng on the opposite side and smiling, the soft light in the eyes of the autumn waves was light, but it was faintly shrouded in a layer of hazy meaning that was difficult to peep into.

"Shouldn't Pavilion Lord Xu ask this king, why did you come tonight?"

Gao Heng clasped his fingers on the wine glass, looking at the ripples in the wine in the glass, but he didn't mean to drink.

After confirming that Ye Fei was the Gu Chen they were looking for, in order to avoid extraneous branches, Gao Heng took a break to go to Shuyu Pavilion to find Xu Ruyan to discuss the matter the next night.

After all, only by first making Xu Ruyan realize Gu Chen's vital role in this case could it be possible for her to agree to hand over this person, and finally smoothly hand over Gu Chen to Cen Feng, so that she could temporarily grasp the overall situation.

As for why Cheng Jinzhi didn't follow, it was just because when Gao Heng went out, she was already asleep.

Otherwise, as soon as she heard that Gao Heng was going to see Xu Ruyan alone, she would definitely use all means to follow her.

"His Royal Highness King Yan is busy with affairs, since he was able to come in person in his busy schedule, he shouldn't have come to thank him for what happened last time, right?"

Xu Ruyan still had a smile on her lips, her charming eyes stopped on Gao Heng's cheeks, and between her eyelashes moved slightly, the smile on her lips deepened.

"Last time, this king should indeed thank Lord Xu and Guizhuang. ”

However, Gao Heng didn't care about the ten thousand styles in Xu Ruyan's eyes, and the look on his face was still as calm as usual.

"But this king is really here for another thing. ”

"Really?" Xu Ruyan raised his eyes slightly, his eyes flowing, "Actually, Ruyan still hopes that His Royal Highness can come here to sit in the Jade Pavilion when he is free, admire the moon and listen to music, and have a conversation with Ruyan." ”

She raised her wine glass with both hands and gestured to Gao Heng: "If His Royal Highness King Yan is willing to make Ruyan's friend." ”

Gao Heng likes to be quiet and tranquil by nature, and rarely sets foot in a noisy place like Shuyu Pavilion, where guests are like clouds and the wind and snow are snowy.

But now that he has a request for someone after all, in front of Xu Ruyan, in order not to spoil the interest of others, he can only nod and respond: "Since the Lord of Xu Pavilion said so, when this king is free in the future, he will definitely come here." Besides, this king cooperates with Guizhuang, you and I have the same goal, so the Xu Pavilion Lord is naturally a friend of this king. ”

Gao Heng said with a straight face, and then also picked up his wine glass.

In fact, in his heart, he was still wary of Xu Ruyan and Shuyuge. However, seeing that there was only a small glass of wine in front of him, Xu Ruyan had already covered the cup with his sleeve and looked up, so he couldn't excuse himself, so he also drank it.

Seeing Gao Heng's wine in his throat, Xu Ruyan pursed the corners of his lips, a treacherous look flashed in his eyes very quickly, and the smug color between his eyebrows suddenly appeared, but after Gao Heng put down the wine glass, all this demeanor was quickly fleeting, and he returned to his previous shallow smile.

Hearing His Royal Highness King Yan say this, Ruyan was very relieved in his heart. Xu Ruyan smiled happily, folded her hands to support her chin, and deliberately made a gesture of thinking, "Then let Ruyan guess... This matter that His Royal Highness King Yan said must be related to Young Master Gu who is still in the Spirit Slaughter Division at this moment, right?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Pavilion Master Xu. Gao Heng snorted lightly, "That's right, this king came today to be the main person in Xu Ge. ”

"Someone?" Xu Ruyan's eyes flickered a few times when he heard this, "Dare to ask Your Highness, is this person from my Yuyin Villa?"

"I don't think he's. ”

What kind of relationship is between Gu Chen and Yuyin Villa, Gao Heng actually doesn't know.

But when I thought that Xu Ruyan was willing to hide him in a secret room that only people in the villa knew, it was enough to see that there was a great relationship between the two, so it was better to use the word "should" than any categorical answer.

"Should it?" Xu Ruyan's eyes were suspicious, and she leaned forward a little, "Then Ruyan is really curious, who is His Highness referring to?"

"This king has always disliked beating around the bush, and since Lord Xu Ge asked, then this king will get straight to the point. Gao Heng raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Presumably Pavilion Master Xu must know someone named Gu Chen, right?"

Xu Ruyan was originally holding a wine jug to pour wine into Gao Heng's empty wine glass, when he heard him suddenly mention this name, the hand holding the handle of the pot couldn't help but be slightly startled, and a trace of surprise and suspicion appeared in his eyes.

After a pause, he smiled a little unnaturally: "Ruyan really didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Yan would suddenly mention this person." He is the second uncle of Gu Shaozhu, and he is also the former second master of the Gu family, although Ruyan is not familiar with this person, he does know him. ”

Gao Heng looked at Xu Ruyan's slightly strange eyes, and expected that Gu Chen must still be in the hands of Yuyin Villa at this moment, so he asked in a more accentuated tone: "Then dare to ask Pavilion Master Xu, where is this person now?"

"How can His Royal Highness King Yan be sure that Ruyan must know where he is?"

After listening to Gao Heng's words, Xu Ruyan was already able to determine that the person Gao Heng wanted from him was Gu Chen.

It's just that now she still thinks that Gao Heng has never seen Gu Chen, otherwise she should have recognized him a long time ago when she was in the secret room before, and she shouldn't have waited until now to mention this person.

But what made her wonder in her heart was what kind of means and who did Gao Heng pass through to be so sure that the man in the secret room was Gu Chen?

And, what kind of value does this Gu Chen, who is now in Pingyang, have to Gao Heng?

"Lord Xu said with a smile, if this king is not sure, he will not come here late at night. ”

Gao Heng stared at Xu Ruyan's tentative eyes, and spit out a sentence concisely and clearly.

How could he not hear that Xu Ruyan was tricking herself? It's just that before she agreed to hand over someone, she dared to mention Tu Lingsi and Cen Feng, which was very likely to startle the snake and even affect the overall situation.

"His Royal Highness King Yan should know that our Yuyin Villa has always had the rules of our Villa. Xu Ruyan's slender fingers clasped on the wine glass and rubbed it lightly twice, "If you want us to hand over this person, please also ask Your Highness to give Ruyan a reason why she must hand over someone." ”

She stopped what she was doing, raised her eyes and looked at Gao Heng seriously, the smile on her lips faded, and turned into a little cold and hard.

"Otherwise, please forgive me for your fate. ”
