In fact, there are two main reasons why Gao Heng found out that Cheng Jinzhi was in danger. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

First, because at this time on weekdays, according to Cheng Jinzhi's habits, even if she has not fully fallen asleep, she will extinguish part of the candlestick first, and will not put out a light when it is not close to night, so that the house is so brightly lit.

The second is because of the short words that Cheng Jinzhi answered after hearing his knock on the door.

These two sentences seem to be concise and clear, but they are very strange and abnormal to Gao Heng's ears.

The reason why Cheng Jinzhi turned himself away in the past few days was obviously because he was angry with him, but from Cheng Jinzhi's tone just now, he couldn't hear any feeling of throwing anger, but instead revealed a sense of tension and urgency that was suppressed, which didn't look like this girl's ordinary style at all.

Especially the last sentence "I'm about to turn off the lights" is too redundant, and it reminds Gao Heng that things seem a little unreasonable.

That's why he pretended to leave, but in fact, he hid in the dark to check the situation, until he saw a black shadow approaching under the light of the house from the door, and he knew that this black shadow was clearly not Cheng Jinzhi.

So it was determined that in addition to Cheng Jinzhi, there were obviously other people in this house.

And he is a dangerous person who will make Cheng Jinzhi feel scared and nervous.

"Save me, look at the fingers of his right hand, he is Gu Chen!"

Hearing Cheng Jinzhi suddenly shout such a sentence, Gu Chen's body trembled suddenly, and he subconsciously retracted the five fingers of his right hand into his palm, completely unaware that Cheng Jinzhi had already learned his identity, and his face was full of disbelief.

"It's you. No wonder I always feel as if I've seen these eyes somewhere. ”

Gao Heng moved his gaze from Gu Chen's right hand to his dark and gloomy eyes, revealing a hint of panic, seeing that his expression was uncertain, his brows were frowning, and he didn't dare to keep looking at Gao Heng, so he had to turn his gaze away intentionally or unintentionally.

"Why did you sneak into this king's palace, why did you go against the golden branches, who instructed you?"

Gao Heng took two steps closer and asked coldly, the chill in his eyes came like frost and snow, without the slightest temperature.

"The life and death of Princess Yan is now in my hands, and if Your Highness wants to save her own princess, it is best to be polite. ”

After all, he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, and has also experienced a lot of winds and waves, although Gu Chen is still uneasy in his heart at this moment, he quickly regained his calm and calm state on the surface, and looked at Gao Heng proudly.

"Let this king think about it, you were clearly hidden in the secret room of the Jade Pavilion by the Jade Villa before, but at this time, you suddenly and coincidentally ran into the king's mansion......" Gao Heng said unhurriedly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "It's Xu Ruyan, right? She instructed you to assassinate Jin Zhi, right?"

When Gao Heng said this, he was actually thinking seriously in his heart.

Maybe it was because of a mistake that Gu Chen learned of Xu Ruyan's intention to hand him over, or maybe it was due to other factors......

In short, he could vaguely feel that if Gu Chen was really instructed by Xu Ruyan to assassinate Cheng Jinzhi, this kind of killing with a knife should also be accidental, not planned in advance.

However, no matter what the reason, since Gu Chen himself came to the door today, he must seize this excellent opportunity and capture Cheng Jinzhi in one fell swoop while ensuring his safety.

"What, that woman wants to kill me? I haven't taught her a good lesson to seduce someone else's husband, but she's so cruel that she wants to kill me!

Cheng Jinzhi was taken aback, and almost shouted out, but he didn't shout out the second half of the sentence together.

Although she knew the connection between Gu Chen and Shuyu Pavilion, she really didn't expect that she would actually cause a killing disaster because of this.

A woman's jealousy and possessiveness are sometimes more terrible than anything in this world.

"I just can't get used to you meddling in your own affairs and helping my nephew all the time, so I just want revenge, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. ”

Gu Chen's eyes flickered twice, and when he saw that Gao Heng had guessed the intention of his trip without thinking, the sense of panic in his heart intensified a little.

But he had promised Xu Ruyan before that even if he was unfortunately discovered, he would never mention her in the slightest, otherwise even if he could escape later, he would probably be hunted down by the enemies of the rivers and lakes.

Now in front of Gao Heng, he can only defend weakly. The reason why he said powerless was because he couldn't see the slightest trust in Gao Heng's eyes.

"Really?" Gao Heng's eyes were moving, and his eyes were dark, "But you should know that you are already a criminal of the imperial court, and you can't hide well in the Jade Pavilion, but you still dare to come to the palace to be an assassin, do you really think that you have already died once, so you have a great fortune, do you have the favor of God?"

Considering that Cheng Jinzhi was still in Gu Chen's hands, Gao Heng didn't dare to make too many moves, so as not to provoke Gu Chen to poison Cheng Jinzhi.

Therefore, he can only take a verbal offensive to slowly break through the defense line that has been a little shaken in his heart, hoping to find a gap or flaw in it and successfully save Cheng Jinzhi.

"I did it so seamlessly, and I didn't hesitate to leave the ancestral Moyu on that corpse, I thought I could hide it from the world, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by you. ”

Gu Chen gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, clenching the sword in his hand resentfully, his eyes were already full of dark clouds, full of resentment and unwillingness.

"Don't you know that even if the corpse is burned to black charcoal, the missing finger will not come out?"

Cheng Jinzhi lowered his eyebrows and looked at Gu Chen's right hand, and involuntarily took this sentence.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Gu Chen, who was originally in a fairly stable mood, suddenly trembled and clenched his right hand into a fist, and even his knuckles were twisted into a creak, as if he had been greatly stimulated.

Cheng Jinzhi saw that Gu Chen's mood fluctuated a lot, as if he was immersed in a painful memory, and even the sound of breathing became a lot heavier, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart.

She glanced up at Gu Chen, who had a desolate look on his face, and at the moment when she felt the hand he wrapped around her neck loosen, with the idea that she only wanted to live, she suddenly used all her strength to slam him backwards, and then rushed towards Gao Heng desperately with a short half of her body.

Just when Cheng Jinzhi thought that he had successfully escaped from the knife and was about to touch Gao Heng's sleeves with both hands, he saw Gao Heng's eyes suddenly sink, and suddenly flew up and hugged her into his arms.

At the same time, although her vision was blocked by Gao Heng's embrace, she clearly heard the sound of a sharp sword cutting through the silk of her clothes.
