Chapter 054: Hidden Mechanism
It was so strange everywhere, how could Jian Ning enter the house rashly. Besides, the door of the house was hidden, and I didn't know what was going on inside.
Seeing Jian Ning hesitating at the door for a long time, Xiahou Yan guessed a little, didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, and walked forward directly with steady steps.
He looked around, slowly approached the door, and gently pushed it open. Jian Ning silently followed behind Xiahou Yan, I don't know why, a sense of security inexplicably rose in my heart.
The door creaked open, and there was no one inside, and the furnishings were the same as the courtyard outside, as empty, except for a half-old table.
After Jian Ning looked around, she carefully found that this room was actually very clean. Not to mention that you can't see a spider web or anything, but you don't even have the smell of dust and musty smell in ordinary abandoned houses.
Then he gently wiped his fingers over the only table, and sure enough, there was no dust on the table.
But no matter how problematic this room is, in the face of this situation that can be seen clearly at a glance, Jian Ning has no choice. Turning his head to Xiahou Yan, who was standing there motionless, he asked, "Does the prince think there is anything wrong with this house?" ”
Jian Ning asked very cautiously and vaguely, she didn't ask Xiahou Yan directly, where can people be hidden in this house, but asked where there was something wrong.
Xiahou Yan looked at Jian Ning and remembered himself at this time, his heart was quite unhappy, and his expression was a little strange. Jian Ning looked at his appearance, and suddenly felt that he was very faceless, and suddenly put his head away. I'm going to find out if there's any mechanism for myself.
The eagle has been hovering over this farmhouse. She believes it won't be without reason. Or you can directly identify Jiu'er and they are here. But where they were, the eagle couldn't reach it, so it could only hover in the air.
She searched all the two rooms here, but to no avail, so the only possibility was that there was a secret room here.
Xiahou Yan looked at Jian Ning, and would rather just look for it than ask himself a word, and he didn't even look at himself, as if he didn't exist. A nameless fire suddenly appeared in my heart. took a few steps forward, grabbed Jian Ning's arm, dragged her over to face him, and asked in a suppressed voice, "Is it so difficult to ask me for help?" ”
Jian Ning glanced at Xiahou Yan, and said in a bad tone: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's daughter is extremely noble, how can a little civilian woman like me dare to ask for it!" ”
After Jian Ning finished speaking, she didn't forget to add a sentence at the end: "And I also asked you before, but you ignored me."
Listening to Jian Ning's defense, Xiahou Yan really wanted to strangle the little person in front of him directly, holding back the anger in his heart. He said in a low voice: "Then when the main hall took you to chase the eagle just now, why didn't you want the status of the main hall to be noble?" ”
Jian Ning suddenly felt a loss in her heart. But I don't want to let Xiahou Yan fall like this. After settling down, he didn't show anything on his face, and said coldly: "That's what you are willing to take with me, but I didn't ask you!" ”
"Good, good, that's really good!" After hearing this, Xiahou Yan suddenly laughed, shook off Jian Ning's hand, and said straightly, "It turns out that this hall is self-inflicted!" ”
Jian Ning looked at Xiahou Yan's appearance, and suddenly knew that Xiahou Yan was really angry this time, and suddenly she didn't know what to do.
She didn't know much about Xiahou Yan, so naturally she didn't know how to let him dissipate, or how to deal with it now?
Tangled and entangled, Jian Ning still didn't say anything in the end. The so-called saying is too much wrong, and Jian Ning seems to be better to be silent at this time.
Xiahou Yan wanted to leave in a fit of anger just now, but for the sake of Jian Ning's safety, he stayed stubbornly. I thought that Jian Ning would say something nice to listen to, but I didn't expect to wait and wait, Jian Ning just didn't mean to speak.
"You don't have a long heart!" In the end, Xiahou Yan gritted his teeth and said a word to Jian Ning hatefully, and walked to the only table to check it out.
Jian Ning listened to Xiahou Yan's sudden words, and wanted to reply, "Why don't you have a long heart!" If she didn't have a long heart, why would she worry so much about Jiu'er and them? ”
But in order to stop producing any more moths, Jian Ning didn't say anything because she knew the times. Stayed there quietly, watching Xiahou Yan circling around the table.
Time passed quietly for a long time, seeing that Xiahou Yan still didn't make any major discoveries, Jian Ning couldn't help but ask weakly on the side, "Are you sure there is a problem with this table?" Could it be somewhere else? ”
Xiahou Yan straightened up, glanced at Jian Ning, and continued to look at the table, but said lukewarmly: "Except for this table, where do you think it can be safe?" ”
"This is a farmhouse, not a big mansion, and you can see its whole structure at a glance from the outside, so what do you think a stone wall can do?" Xiahou Yan's tone when he said this was as if he was saying that Jian Ning was an idiot.
When Xiahou Yan said this, Jian Ning also reacted immediately. This farmhouse is so big, she's seen both rooms, even if she wants to make a secret room, there's no space? If there is no secret room, then where are the nine children?
At this time, she couldn't ask Xiahou Yan directly, and Jian Ning suddenly felt a headache. It seems that he is still not smart enough, or he still can't understand the thoughts of the ancients.
Looking at Jian Ning's tangled appearance on the side, Xiahou Yan had already guessed the approximate situation. After all, he still opened his mouth to solve Jian's confusion: "There is no secret room, but the secret cellar is not certain." ”
Jian Ning's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately probed the table. They had been in the farmhouse for almost half an hour, but they had not yet found anything substantial, and they would not have waited for anyone to go on like this.
Just when the two of them were circling around the table, Xia Houyan finally found a clue, he immediately squatted down, carefully rubbed one of the feet of the table with his hand, and after a while, the corner of his mouth hooked slightly, and he withdrew his hand.
turned to Jian Ning and said, "Look at the table legs?" ”
When Jian Ning heard this, she immediately squatted down and looked at the table legs. At the beginning, Jian Ning looked around and didn't find anything wrong. But thinking that Xiahou Yan would not let him look at the table legs for no reason, thinking like this, Jian Ning's body lowered a little lower, looked at the table legs closer, and even touched them with his hands.
This time, Jian Ning finally knew what the problem was, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
It turns out that there is a thin notch on the leg of the table, and if you don't look closely, you will think that it is a pattern on the leg of the table, but this is not the case. Jian Ning looked at it carefully and touched it with her hands, and the notched place was obviously not just a pattern, but a broken mark.
Almost at the same time, Jian Ning straightened up slightly, looked at Xiahou Yan and said, "Could this be where the organ is?" ”
When Jian Ning spoke, Xiahou Yan also spoke at the same time: "The organ should be here." ”
Now that they had already thought like this, the two nodded to each other, and each took the lead in spinning a table leg beside him, but after waiting for a while, nothing changed.
Jian Ning frowned, a little depressed. I didn't want to do it at this time, Xiahou Yan said, "There are two more." ”
Hearing this, Jian Ning immediately moved a few steps to the side, preparing to rotate the remaining two table legs again. Whether it can be achieved depends on this time, Jian Ning suddenly became a little nervous.
The legs of the table have been turned little by little, but there has been no change in the surroundings so far. When the foot of the table turned to the end, Jian Ning immediately observed the surrounding Yiqiqi, but after all, Jian Ning was disappointed.
Xia Houyan was also a little puzzled at this time, it stands to reason that the mechanism should be on this table leg, otherwise why would a good table leg be designed like this.
At this moment, suddenly the two of them heard an extremely small sound, like the sound of graphite moving. Jian Ning immediately turned to Xiahou Yan and asked, "Did you hear anything?" ”
"Hmm. There's nothing wrong with this being the location of the mechanism.,The sound just now must be the sound of the mechanism starting.,The sound of something opening.,But I don't know where this entrance is? "Xiahou Yan's martial arts are so strong that even Jian Ning heard the voice, and Xiahou Yan must have heard it more clearly.
"Could it be in the next room?" Jian Ning suddenly stood up and said. This room can be seen at a glance, and since there is no change in any place, then this entrance should no longer be here.
Xiahou Yan nodded slightly and said, "Let's go and have a look first." ”
The two of them walked out of the house and into the next room, which was even more empty, and there was nothing left. Jian Ning was suddenly a little deflated. I finally found the mechanism, but now I can't find the entrance!
If that sound just now is really the sound of the mechanism activating and the entrance opening, then there will be a hole in the ground or something! But now both rooms are intact, and there is no change at all.
Just when Jian Ning couldn't figure it out and began to wonder if it was here. Xiahou Yan noticed an inconspicuous dry well in a corner of the courtyard.
After thinking about it for almost a moment, Xiahou Yan directly pulled Jian Ning to the side of the dry well.
"What are you doing here? Do you still think that the entrance is not here? Jian Ning glanced at Xiahou Yan, and suddenly pointed to the dry well and asked.
Xiahou Yan didn't answer Jian Ning directly, but looked into the dry well, but at a glance, a faint smile appeared on his face. It was exactly what he thought! The designers have put a lot of thought into it. (To be continued......) R1292
