Chapter 60: The Mysterious Room
Jiang Fan's footsteps went away, Xian Chen exposed the dagger tied to his wrist, cut the rope little by little, and finally the rope was cut, Xian Chen untied the rope on his ankle again, and then cautiously walked to the door. When he opened the door, Xian Chen was also taken aback, this Jiang Fan was really in a big battle, and he actually sent so many people to see her as a weak woman. Quietly closing the door, Xianchen looked at the window, and made sure that no one was guarding it, so he broke out of the window.
Jumping on the beams of the house, Xianchen carefully surveyed the Jiang Mansion, and found that it was no different from other big families, and was about to go back, but saw a somewhat familiar figure. The man was dressed in the most ordinary maid's clothes, and walked slowly along the corridor, and Xianchen looked in her direction, only to realize that the person's destination was actually his own room. He hurriedly followed the road he had come from, found two ropes, and tied his hands and feet as they were. The door opened, and a figure appeared in front of Xian Chen, who saw the face of the person who came, which was the painting that the poet said had been killed by her!
Xian Chen's heart was agitated, and she didn't know what was going on for a while, Shiqing clearly said that she had pushed the painting out of the pond, so how could the painting appear here? Xianchen was very puzzled in his heart, and collected all his feelings in his eyes, and his long eyelashes covered his eyes, so that no one could snoop on him.
The painter stood still for a long time, then closed the door and went out. Xianchen keenly smelled the residual smell in the air, with decay, looking at the figure of the painting, with a thousand thoughts. Jiang Fan hadn't been here for a few days, but when he heard that he would personally ask about Xianchen's three meals a day, his tone was full of envy. Xianchen only smiled when he heard this, and didn't say a word.
Jiang Fan saw that Xianchen had been honest these days, and he didn't plan to escape, so he gradually withdrew the guards outside the door. Xianchen can now move freely in this Jiang Mansion, sometimes to feed the fish and enjoy the flowers, but the only thing that is the same is that every time Xianchen goes out, he will be accompanied by a group of people. On the surface, he was worried that Xian Chen would be easy to get lost if he was not familiar with the terrain of this Jiang Mansion, but in fact, Xian Chen also knew it, but Jiang Fan was not at ease and sent someone to monitor her. The maids around her looked weak one by one, but all of them were masters, fortunately, Xianchen didn't plan to escape, she still had to stay in this Jiang Mansion and check it out!
It was night, and Xianchen couldn't sleep after tossing and turning on the bed, and the maid who was resting outside kept asking her if there was something, and Xianchen shook her head and said no. Later, Xianchen waited for the sound of the maid's even breathing from outside, and then a carp straightened up and turned over and walked out of the room. During this time, she had already roughly familiarized herself with the terrain of Jiangfu, and even if she couldn't see anything at night, Xianchen could still walk freely in Jiangfu. Jiang Fan is also a person who believes in his word, saying that if there is no restriction on her activities, there is really no limit. She has already been to all the courtyards of this Jiang Mansion, there is only one room, not to mention the strict guards, except for some designated maids in the mansion who go in on time to deliver meals, the rest of the people are not allowed to set foot in it, Xian Chen's purpose tonight is here, she wants to go in and see what is going on!
Familiar with the way here, Xian Chen hid his figure in a tree, maybe in the middle of the night, the guards looked listless. Xianchen didn't move, she was waiting, waiting for the handover at this time of the night, that time was the best time. After a while, Xianchen stared closely ahead, seized the opportunity, and entered the house like a ghost. The guard only felt a gust of wind sweeping, felt that his body was cold, looked around vigilantly, and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he guarded the door as usual. At this time, Xianchen had already sneaked into the room, the room was covered with black cloth all around, and there was no light coming in, Xianchen took out a night pearl that could be illuminated from his arms, and walked forward slowly.
The room was bigger than Slim Dust had imagined, but to Slim Dust's surprise, there was nothing in this room, or anyone. If it was really just an empty room, why would Jiang Fan send so many people to guard it? Xian Chen thought to himself, trying to think about his approach from Jiang Fan's point of view, but it didn't seem to be useful. In his past life, Xianchen didn't have much intersection with this uncle, he only knew that his uncle was a gentleman who relied on his sister to be the queen and behave in Kyoto all day long! But now it seems that Jiang Fan is very hidden, at least with the means of the Emperor of the Underworld, it is impossible to let go of anyone related to the former royal family. But Jiang Fan was not only fine, but also won the trust of the Emperor of the Underworld, Xian Chen touched his chin with one hand, thinking about this connection.
Slim Dust paced back and forth in the empty room, not knowing what he had touched, only to feel that his feet were empty, and Slim Dust fell into the hole that suddenly appeared. Xian Chen picked up the night pearl that suddenly fell to the side just now, raised it above his head, and looked around, this is a small secret room, full of cobwebs, and a thick layer of ash has accumulated under his feet. Xianchen glanced up, the hole had been closed just now, and he could only move forward for now. Xianchen took the Night Pearl and walked forward cautiously, because his attention was all on the road ahead, Xianchen didn't notice his feet until he tripped over something. Xianchen struggled to maintain her balance, and only after standing firm did she take the Night Pearl and look at the ground, there was only a pile of bones, which had been scattered to the point of disappearance, and it seemed that it was this human bone that had tripped her just now.
Xianchen put all the bones away and put them aside, clasped his hands together, and expressed his apologies with words in his mouth. Then he continued to walk forward, I don't know how long, and finally a glimmer of light came in front of me, a beautiful pool, in which flowed a red unknown liquid, clear to the bottom, emitting a white light. When Xianchen got closer, he saw a person lying in the center of the pool, this person was completely empty, his eyes were closed, and he was floating on this pool. The pond is surrounded by unknown flowers, but the strange thing is that they are made of crystal-like materials, and they flow with colorful light in the white light. Xianchen carefully looked at the surrounding scenery and found that these things were beautiful, but they were always less angry. This made Xianchen unconsciously think of the people he saw when he first entered Kyoto, and they were also full of life.
The people in the pool seemed to sense that someone was approaching, and slowly opened their eyes, and a pair of indifferent eyes looked at Xian Chen, who was about to take a closer look at this person's appearance, but suddenly heard footsteps. Looking at the surrounding environment, Xianchen quickly chose a direction and ran out. The people in the pool looked at Xian Chen's back in a daze, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes. The footsteps finally stopped, and the man was a little stunned for a moment as he saw that the people in the pool had woken up.
"Are you awake?" There was no surprise that there was no answer to the question, and the painting looked at the handsome man in the pool, and his eyes were full of admiration as silent as stagnant water. "You are not in good health, you have to lie down in this blood crystal pool to heal, sitting like this is not conducive to your injury, lie down quickly." Huayi was a little anxious, and wanted to go over and lay this person flat in the pool, but just as he was about to get close to the blood crystal pool, he was stopped by the hot air rushing to his face. It's still like this, for hundreds of days and nights, she wants to get close to this pool and touch the face of the person who thinks about it day and night, but without exception she was stopped by the karmic fire in this pool, I thought that tonight would be a little different, after all, this is the first time I saw the person in front of her wake up, but she was still disappointed.
The man didn't speak, looking at the painter's face, without any expression, and there was no warmth in his eyes. Seeing this, a sharp pain crossed the bottom of his heart, but he still looked at the man with a smile.
Here, Xianchen had already returned to his room, and was just about to take a sip of tea, but he heard the voice of the maid walking outside: "Girl, are you okay?" ”
Xianchen pretended to be a little confused and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I can't sleep, I want to get up and drink tea, you don't have to worry about me." Then the maid retreated to the outer room. Xianchen breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he fooled the maid, otherwise he would definitely be messed up when he entered the door and saw his dress. After changing out of his night clothes, Xian Chen lay down in the comfortable quilt, closed his eyes, and his mind was full of indifferent eyes, the appearance of that person lying in the blood crystal pool always made Xian Chen feel very familiar. If it weren't for the fact that Huayi came in at that time, Xianchen thought that he would definitely be able to see the person's appearance clearly, and it seemed that he would have to find a chance to go there to have a look, Xianchen thought to himself.
The chirping of birds in the early morning woke up Xian Chen, and after the maid waited for her to get up and finish breakfast, Xian Chen was about to go to the mysterious room to take another look, when he found that Jiang Fan, who had not been seen for many days, came. Xianchen walked out, changing his previous pleasant face, "When are you going to let me go?" ”
"Why is the little lady like this when she sees me, but I heard the maid say that the little lady is kind and gentle to them." Jiang Fan's squinting gaze swirled on Xian Chen's body.
"Don't talk nonsense, you robbed the people's daughters at the feet of the Son of Heaven, are you really not afraid of Dahuai's law?" Xian Chen's voice was deliberately very sharp, but Jiang Fan didn't care.
"Little lady, you are not from Kyoto, who in this Kyoto does not know that I, Jiang Fan, am a big celebrity in front of the emperor, even if I rob the people's daughter, the emperor will not care if he knows it, not to mention who do you think dares to get along with me? Isn't this typical self-deprecation? Jiang Fan's voice was indispensable.
"Hmph, I don't believe that the emperor will indulge you so far! The emperor is virtuous, how could he possibly connive at you to do such an immoral thing! Xian Chen felt that Jiang Fan was indeed different from a few years ago, and the whole person became unsightly, and he deliberately said this to see if he could put something useful in Jiang Fan's mouth.
