Chapter 42: The Son-in-law of Western Zhao 13
Even in the dark, Bai Jinyu didn't have the courage to look at Feng Chen's face when he heard this.
But Bai Jinyu knew that Wumu was not exactly joking, he had reminded her to pay attention to Fengchen beforehand, and now she went to find the exit alone, if she had to guard against Fengchen on the other, it was indeed a lack of skills.
But to push your blind brother-in-law down...... This relative's is not suitable after all.
Bai Jinyu was caught in the middle, so he had to protect his face: "Push it down?!" This is the golden branch and jade leaf of my great campaign, and I can't bear it! β
She then told Umu a few more words to stay safe before she stood up.
Feng Chenquan didn't hear their conversation, but said, "Young Master Wen, do you ask them if Prince Jin is down there?" β
There was a panic just now, Bai Jinyu forgot that there was still Jin Fengyeol's stubble, and he remembered Bai Jinyu when he mentioned it, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I almost forgot!" So he asked loudly into the pit: "Lord Li, is your prince also down there?" β
Immediately, Li Zhengmin's voice came up: "What?!" Mrs. Wang...... Isn't the prince supposed to go out...... I lifted him up as I fell......" Then she heard Umu talking to him, but it was too far away to be heard.
"There's no Kim Bongyeol down there." Bai Jinyu replied to Feng Chen while retreating from the deep pit.
She took the torch from Fengchen's hand with one hand, grabbed Tu Qian again with the other, and asked Xiang Fengchen, "Are you afraid?" β
Feng Chen said: "What are you afraid of?" β
Bai Jinyu said: "I'm the only one left, are you afraid that I won't be able to protect you, or will I be even worse harmed?" β
Feng Chen raised his eyes and smiled at Bai Jinyu, he didn't look like a blind person at all, and said something quite meaningful: "It's all up to Gongzi Wen." β
This answer is really leaky, it seems to answer the question, but in fact, it doesn't say anything, and it gives people a very reasonable feeling. Bai Jinyu said in his heart: He is worthy of being a person who can represent the imperial court as a foreign envoy at the age of fifteen, he can't find fault with his appearance, and he speaks so well.
"This road doesn't work, let's go back to that fork in the road first, and try another way, shall we?" Bai Jinyu asked Feng Chen's opinion.
Feng Chen said: "Okay, maybe Prince Jin is on another road." β
Bai Jinyu couldn't help but glance at Feng Chen more, and said, "Your Highness, I didn't expect that this person like Jin Fenglie would embarrass you, you still care about him!" β
After she said this, the air was so cold that it froze, and she instantly understood what this coldness meant.
If you want to say that you are embarrassed by Fengchen, what is Kim Bongyeol, she is the first culprit to bear the brunt of the "Wen Yan"? !
When he first saw him, he made trouble and let the snake stop him, and then united with the two princes of Chengzhou and Sima Xuan to trick him into buying two valuable jades, and then provoked him from time to time in the selection of sons...... Recalling this one by one, what position does she Bai Jinyu have to say that Jin Fengyeol is a person? !
She immediately coughed lightly twice and cut off the topic: "Come on, let's go back, let's slow down!" β
At that moment, the two of them carried the rough cave rock back to the intersection where they had forked before, and in addition to the hole where they were now, there was indeed another hole.
During this time, three roads converged in one place, one was the way in, and the other was the entrance to the deep pit, both of which had been walked, and Bai Jinyu didn't think much about it and took Feng Chen to the hole on the right.
didn't take a few steps, and suddenly heard a muffled sound of "boom", Bai Jinyu turned around urgently, but it was Fengchen who hit his head! Her heart hung in her heart, "Oops, oops", and quickly withdrew back to see what was going on.
It turned out that the cave here was much lower than the other side, just enough for Bai Jinyu's height to pass through. She had just been engrossed in looking ahead, and she didn't remind Feng Chen of his short body after she passed, so that he directly hit a hanging stone.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Bai Jinyu took a few breaths of cool air, and in a hurry, he directly reached out to Feng Chen and rubbed his forehead: "The hole here is a little low-lying, I forgot to remind you to bend over!" β
Feng Chen didn't complain a word, maybe he was quite self-contained, or he might have nothing to say to Bai Jinyu.
Bai Jinyu blamed himself a little, he leaned back slightly and let Bai Jinyu's hand go, and said softly: "I'm fine, Wen Gongzi doesn't need to be so flustered, you will inevitably forget that I am blind for a while if you concentrate on leading the way." β
Bai Jinyu was stunned for a moment and had to take it. In the face of himself who has hurt him many times, he can still say such decent words, I really don't know if he has a big heart or too good character.
Bai Jinyu withdrew his hand embarrassedly, and promised in a low voice: "Okay, okay, I promise that it won't be down there, come, I'll block it for you now...... Your Highness, bend down a little and lower a little more...... Yes, you can come in. β
Bai Jinyu and Feng Chen walked along the zigzag cave, the more they walked, the more narrow the space became, and only one person was allowed to pass through several places along the way, and under this, their clothes were cut a lot by the sharp rocks.
"Do you think there's any difference here?" Feng Chen asked suddenly.
Bai Jinyu suddenly stopped, holding a torch and shining around, everywhere was pitch black, and there was some urgency and depression in the gloom. But this feeling has existed since the beginning of the entry, and now Fengchen is asking about "different", which obviously does not refer to this.
Bai Jinyu asked sweatingly, "Has Your Highness noticed something?" Feng Chen couldn't see now, and his other four senses might be more acute than hers.
Feng Chen said slowly: "The road here seems to be particularly boring. β
In fact, after walking for so long, Bai Jinyu also felt a little uncomfortable, and when he said this, she suddenly felt that this discomfort was too boring, and that was it.
"It's really stuffy." Bai Jinyu agreed.
She was still wondering why she was so bored, and Feng Chen had already said: "This shows that there is a dead end ahead." β
When Bai Jinyu heard this, he immediately knew that Fengchen had judged well. Stuffiness means that there is no wind and air circulation on this road, which means that there will be no exit to the outside ahead.
Bai Jinyu couldn't help but groan to himself: "There is a deep pit at the end of a cave on the right, and a cave on the left is a dead end...... Could it be that this whole cave can't be penetrated? β
"Not necessarily," Feng Chen said when he was sad, "Let's take three hundred steps back, there may be another way out there." β
Bai Jinyu was puzzled: "Really? β
Feng Chen said gently: "Try it first!" β
Bai Jinyu said: "Okay! β
His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who is high up, talks to people in a negotiated tone, which is really a bit subverted her previous imagination of princes and nobles. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Fengchen, the title of the spring breeze in the world, doesn't seem to be a false name.
"One, two, threeγ...... Two hundred and ninety-eight, two hundred and ninety-nine, three hundred! Bai Jinyu counted in his mouth and walked back with Fengchen.
Feng Chen said three hundred steps, it is really a full three hundred steps, after three hundred steps, the space is a little larger, there is fresh air flowing in, and the feeling of stuffiness has been relieved to a certain extent.
The two of them stood here for a moment, and then they saw that the flame of the torch was fluctuating by the air current, and trembled slightly.
Bai Jinyu stared at the torch, carefully identifying the direction of the air flow, and finally she walked four or five steps to the left front side alone, carefully shining the torch forward, and reaching out to touch it.
As expected, there is an extremely narrow, awkward little turn hidden here!
Bai Jinyu walked into this bend, and there was really another hidden road ahead!
Bai Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief and served: "Your Highness, you are really a god!" β
Immediately, she felt regained her vitality, and ran back to Feng Chen's side with excitement and stretched out her hand: "Come!" "Pulled Feng Chen over.
The path became wider and wider, and after about a pillar of incense, Bai Jinyu felt that something was getting more and more wrong, and after walking for a while, she stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Jinyu looked at the front of him, his scalp was numb for a while, and he swallowed his saliva and said, "There is a ...... in front Six roads! β
Yes, when I got here, the road ahead was crookedly distributed into holes in six directions, as if a group of rats had been taken out of place.
"Rokujo?" Feng Chen was also a little surprised when he heard this.
Bai Jinyu wiped the sweat on his head with the back of his torch, and said in a tangled voice: "This ...... Which one should I choose? I don't know where all of them lead! Do you want to try one by one? β
Feng Chen stared for a moment, then said worriedly: "I don't know if Prince Jin is among them?" β
Bai Jinyu exhaled speechlessly: "My Highness, what else do you care about the Golden Prince, let's take care of ourselves!" β
Feng Chen said "um", and also stood silently.
Bai Jinyu suddenly asked, "Your Highness, from one to six, which number do you like?" β
Feng Chen was suspicious for a moment, and immediately understood what she meant, just now she chose a random path with "left for right", and now this random meaning is also a bit concocted.
"Just one." Fengchen said.
Bai Jinyu deliberately targeted: "One is good, one is single-minded, and one is a good word." β
Feng Chen heard the sound outside the strings and said, "Wen Gongzi has something to say!" β
Bai Jinyu was stunned for a moment, and then said proudly: "Without him, I'm just a little strange, why did His Royal Highness come to participate in the selection of a son-in-law when he has a marriage contract?" How can such a bride who has not passed through the door be embarrassed? I usually look down on men with three wives and four concubines the most, but just as Sima Xuan once said, it is impossible for your glorious clan to have a couple for a lifetime, but Your Highness, even if you want to have three wives and four concubines, you don't need to cut the knife in the heart of other people's marrying mothers at the juncture of marriage! β
Bai Jinyu said a lot in one breath, and the indignation in his chest was all spitted out.
Feng Chen said clearly: "No wonder Gongzi Wen has always disliked me. β
When he said this, Bai Jinyu considered that his tone just now might be too harsh, so he softened his voice and said, "It's not that I don't like you, I still want to like you." "After all, you are my brother-in-law, and you will be relatives in the future, although you may not have the opportunity to move around in the future with Cuizhu's door rules, but you are also nominal relatives after all, who wants to have a bad relationship between relatives.
She added: "I just agree that both men and women should start from the beginning. Women are often asked to do the same to men, so why can't men do the same? If a man really loves a woman, he should guard her like jade, such a man is a true gentleman, and such a relationship can be called a good story in the world! β
Feng Chen listened for a moment and said in a low voice, "Princess Yuhe didn't choose the wrong person. β
At that moment, Bai Jinyu led Feng Chen into the first hole on the left, and after a cup of tea in a winding way, they came to a fork in the road, but this fork in the road seemed a little familiar.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Bai Jinyu didn't leave, Feng Chen asked.
Bai Jinyu's back was furious, and he said, "We seem to have gone back to the fork in the road of the six roads......
The air was icy cold.
Half a day.
Feng Chen said: "What numbers do you like?" β
"Huh?" Bai Jinyu looked back at Feng Chen, made sure he wasn't joking, and thought about it seriously for a while: "Actually, I like Ba a lot, but it's a pity...... Yes!!! β
A black shadow burst out, and Bai Jinyu was caught off guard and was pushed against the mountain rock.
In the next moment, she felt empty in her hand, and the torch had been snatched away!!
Bai Jinyu didn't care about the pain, and stepped forward, and found a tall figure holding her torch to run into a cave, she immediately shouted: "Is it you, Prince Jin?" β
Sure enough, the figure paused.
Bai Jinyu stood up, stabilized his voice and said, "Prince Jin...... Don't run, let's go together, find an exit together......"
Jin Bongyeol hesitated for a moment and snorted coldly: "No need! Then he lifted his feet and walked forward.
"Oops!" Bai Jinyu hurriedly caught up with two steps, Jin Fenglie saw her running, and also stepped up to run two steps forward, Bai Jinyu couldn't help but say: "Jin Fengyeol!" This torch is ours! How can you do a robber thing when you are a prince of a country? Aren't you afraid of the world's jokes when you spread it?! β
"Joke?!" Kim Bongyeol turned around with a torch, and the dim light of the fire shone on the grim smile on his face, which was daunting.
I only heard him say: "When I become a Xizhao concubine, why do you subordinates laugh at me?" β
Bai Jinyu was taken aback: "Aren't you, our life and death are uncertain, do you still want to be a colt?" Besides, the monarch is afraid that he is also in dire straits now, how can he still be in the mood to choose a horse?! β
Jin Bongyeol didn't think so, and said confidently: "When the prince goes out to save the monarch first, the monarch will naturally marry the princess to me!" β
"Hah!" Bai Jinyu was unbelievable, and she remembered that Jin Fengyeol didn't seem to know that Yuhe was also in this mountain, but she was definitely not going to tell him at the moment.
Kim Bongyeol said inwardly: "Now that the torch is in my hand, I am about to be the first to go back to save the monarch, so you can stay here!" With that, he ran into the darkness without looking back.
"Stand still with the surname Kim!!" Bai Jinyu shouted.
Isn't this place a dead end without a fire source? She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely and chased after her.
As soon as he took a step, his sleeve was pulled by Feng Chen, Bai Jinyu turned around and was so anxious that he wanted to jump: "Don't pull me and let me chase him, how can we get out without torches?" β
Feng Chen said quietly: "Don't worry, it's not necessarily a good thing to have torches in this place. β
When Bai Jinyu heard this, he stopped jumping his feet, rested in the dark, and asked Xiang Fengchen, "What do you mean?" β
Feng Chen paused and said, "Don't worry now, don't think about anything, calm your heart first." β
Although he couldn't see Feng Chen's demeanor at the moment, in this closed and suffocating darkness, he was still calm, and every word he said was like a rue flower blooming leisurely, soothing and soothing people's hearts.
Bai Jinyu inexplicably gave birth to a little good belief in his heart.
So she complied with Feng Chen's wishes and forced herself to stabilize her mind and start pranayama until her beating heart gradually calmed down.
At this time, Feng Chen said unhurriedly: "There is an air flow pouring in here, which is enough to prove that there is an exit from this cave." Although it was pitch black all around us, if you look closely at this exit, there must be some places that are slightly darker. β
A word woke up the person in the dream, and Bai Jinyu suddenly realized.
This Fengchen is really too smart!
