Chapter 138: The Plank on the Top
"Jojo, do you have any injuries?"
Gu Xuan asked with concern. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that Gu Xuan and Shen Qiao had calmed down at this time, she shook her head.
"The man stabbed me with something, so I fainted. Maybe he turned me upside down when he ran, and when I woke up, there was no light, but I could feel that I was underground. It's a little cooler inside than it is up there. ”
Shen Qiao picked up the hairpin in his hand and continued: "I heard you calling me, so I took a gamble and stabbed the man's back with the hairpin, but I didn't know where the stab was." ”
"Okay, let's leave, let's go up and talk about it, it's too shady down here, stay for a long time, it's not good for your body."
Gu Xuan reached out to Shen Qiao's shoulder and hugged her in his arms, saying with some pity.
"Are you the only one coming down? Could there be other servants with you? ”
Shen Qiao didn't move, but asked.
Gu Xuan said: "I don't know, but Xie Rui's kid should have let people come down!" ”
"Are you going to the Stone Chamber, or the other way?"
Shen Qiao said again.
She had a bold conjecture in her mind, but she didn't know if it was right or not.
"I didn't go to the stone chamber. I thought that the gangster must have attacked us just now, and since he knew that we knew about the existence of the stone chamber, he would definitely not go that way. But I'm not sure, so I came here with the idea of giving it a try. ”
Gu Xuan replied.
"Gu Xuan, let's chase after it! You might find something else! ”
After Shen Qiao listened, he took Gu Xuan's hand and said.
"No! We don't know how many gangsters there are, but if there are too many people, you will be in danger at that time. ”
Gu Xuan immediately denied.
"It's okay, let's wait a while and see if there are any officials? If so, let's go over together. ”
Shen Qiao also thought about this.
But she felt that if she didn't go now, she shouldn't find this path so easily next time.
"Then wait, if no one comes, let's go up."
Gu Xuan thought for a while and said.
"yes, okay."
Shen Qiao nodded.
She believed that someone would come.
With Xie Rui's temperament, it is impossible to let Gu Xuan come down alone without sending someone to follow.
The two of them stood there and waited.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Gu Xuan casually said something to pass the time, and said, "Qiaoqiao, I have already asked Uncle Xie to send someone to Aunt Liang to tell her that we are in Fucheng today." ”
"Hmm."
Shen Qiao nodded.
"We will definitely be nagged by Aunt Liang when we go back tomorrow. You're fine, it's the amazing daughter of the baby she recognized, my nephew, but I'm going to be scolded. Alas, pitiful! ”
Gu Xuan made a sad look and sighed.
"It's okay, when the time comes, when your stepmother scolds you, I'll help you speak."
Shen Qiao was amused by Gu Xuan's appearance and said.
"Jojo, can you tell me what you think? If you call Aunt Liang like this, will you not be used to it? ”
Gu Xuan said suddenly.
Shen Qiao was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Gu Xuan to suddenly ask about this.
She took two steps forward and said, "No, I'm not used to it." I don't know why, I feel that my stepmother is very kind, and it won't hurt me anyway. And ......"
Shen Qiao stopped, turned to look at Gu Xuan, and said, "Moreover, I think my stepmother has something to hide from me." My instincts, she felt like she knew where I came from. ”
"Impossible! How I didn't think so. ”
Gu Xuan was a little surprised.
Shen Qiao shook his head and said, "Anyway, that's how I feel." So I said yes right away, maybe after a long stay, I'll find some clues. ”
"Are you going to look for the person in the letter that Aunt Zhou gave you when you had no way out?"
Gu Xuan was noncommittal and asked.
"The man didn't look for it for a while, and the letter didn't say that he would be able to find it. And even if you find it, you have to bring a token and change your identity. In that case, you can't find anything. ”
Shen Qiao said.
"Alas!"
Gu Xuan sighed.
"What are you sighing for?"
Shen Qiao said.
Gu Xuan looked at Shen Qiao and said, "If Aunt Liang knew that you stayed by her side because she was looking for clues, she would probably be sad." ”
Shen Qiao smiled and said, "Although my approach is a bit shameful, I will definitely fulfill the accusation of being a righteous girl, and I will not hurt the people of the palace." I will remember the kindness that others have done to me. ”
Gu Xuan smiled and didn't say anything.
Shen Qiao said: "By the way, Gu Xuan, can you tell me about the Shen family." It's the Shen family that Aunt Liang said that one of her sisters is very similar to me. ”
Gu Xuan thought about it and was about to speak, when he heard someone calling them.
"Gu Gongzi, Miss Shen!"
The sound is a little far away.
"I'll tell you when I get back to the villa!"
After Gu Xuan finished speaking, he answered twice.
After a while, I heard the sound of several people running towards me.
"How many of you did your little master call?"
Gu Xuan saw that there were five of them, so he asked.
"No, no, five of us went this way, and the other five went to the other side. Great, Childe and Girl, you are here, I will immediately go to those brothers and let them come back. ”
The official at the head breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Take two of you and tell the others! The other three followed us inside. ”
Gu Xuan said.
The officials looked at each other with torches, and finally divided into two groups, one group of people followed Gu Xuan and them, and the other group of people went back to report the news.
After the separation, Gu Xuan let Shen Qiao walk in the middle, and he and the other three servants walked in four directions to protect her.
For Gu Xuan's approach, Shen Qiao was still very moved.
Several people walked in the dark passage in the direction of the gangster who had just carried Shen Qiao away.
Shen Qiao was not idle along the way, because the four people around her were all holding torches, so the place where she passed was still very bright, so she looked left and right, up and down.
"Wait!"
Walking to a place, when she looked up at the top, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly spoke.
Several people stopped, all looking at her.
"Look at that!"
Shen Qiao pointed diagonally upwards and said.
Several people looked up at the place Shen Qiao was pointing.
I saw that it was different from the other tops, and it was not made of stone.
When the torches approached, they looked like they were made of wood.
"Could it be that there is a mechanism there?"
Gu Xuan frowned.
Shen Qiao said, "I guess, this institution is probably the same as the academy we came down to. ”
"How is it possible, there is a stone staircase down in the study, which is empty."
One of the officials said.
"You don't need stone stairs here, you can use wooden stairs when you come down!"
Shen Qiao said with a smile.
Several officials were speechless.
Gu Xuan thought for a while, handed the torch in his hand to Shen Qiao, and then said, "You guys are watching from the side, I'll go up and take a look." ”
