Chapter 31: The Caged Beast
,
The little phoenix came back to her senses and chewed Gu Changming's words carefully. When she began to be suspicious, everyone said she wasn't. When she finally put down what should be put down, why should she tell her the truth!
"Hu Min'er left the palace early, Phoenix, the third princess is burdened with your identity and your responsibility. As long as the insider doesn't break it down, everything is still according to the current progress, and nothing will change. Gu Changming smiled bitterly, he could not tell the secret at all, and he was worried that his father would say sooner or later, it was better for him to be the puzzle solver.
"Didn't you mean, just look alike?" Little Phoenix still can't accept the facts, if she is really Hu Min'er's daughter, then it shouldn't be the third princess who marries Da Liao, but her!
What a golden branch and jade leaf, she is fully willing to be a little snitch who has reformed herself.
"These are all said by your father, and they were also arranged by your father." Little Phoenix quickly reacted, and while the whole thing was served, the most embarrassing person was Gu Changming. His father, who was deeply trusted and admired by him, would do such a bold and reckless thing.
Gu Changming seemed to see through what she was thinking, and the bitterness in his smile became even more obvious: "Phoenix, my father actually has more to do, more daring than you can imagine." ”
"He can't think of being the emperor himself." Little Phoenix said a word impulsively, and then looked at Gu Changming's face, it is estimated that she really guessed eight or nine, "Brother Gu, don't care about these for now, let's find a way to get out, this is under the study, how can I look familiar?" ”
was reminded by the little phoenix like this, Gu Changming also felt the same way. Except for the mechanism when it fell, the size of this basement became more and more familiar, and I always felt that there was such a dark room in other places.
"Phoenix, let's go further and see." Gu Changming didn't take more than ten steps, and the wall in front of him blocked the way. This is not an underground passage that extends in all directions, it is only so big, and the light is very weak, where have you seen it?
"Brother Gu, this sense of similarity is shared by you and me, that is to say, it is something we have experienced together, and the scope is not large, why don't we think about it carefully?" The little phoenix has the illusion of a cat's paws scratching constantly, as if she can't think of it, she will be trapped here forever and can't get out.
Gu Changming quickly calmed down, Phoenix's words are good, if it is after they met, although they have walked a lot together, the scope is not large. This is under my father's study, and if I were to rule it out one by one according to the same use.
The two opened their mouths almost in unison: "Sun Youxiang's study!" ”
The study looked large from the outside, and inside was a secret room for stacking hidden gold bars. The size and shape of the chamber are exactly the same as they are at the moment.
"The location of the mechanism was originally used to stack gold bars." The little phoenix once stepped on the points several times, and the impression was the deepest, "How can this be?" Brother Gu, is this a coincidence? ”
"It's certainly not a coincidence, it only says a little bit." Sun Youxiang and his father are all the way, doing the same thing, the difference is that Sun Youxiang has committed suicide in fear of crime, and his father is still planning his own plan.
"Did your father tell you what kind of organization the Nine Heavens Drum is?" When Little Phoenix thought of Sun Youxiang, she was still a little uncomfortable. No matter what Sun Youxiang has done, he will always be kind to her.
"Phoenix, Sun Youxiang may also recognize you." Gu Changming sighed lightly, this is definitely not an assumption, if Sun Youxiang was close to his father, he might even be involved in the plan of the year. Therefore, the identity of the little phoenix was already exposed when Sun Youxiang saw her, and her father learned the news in the fastest time, so he would rush back from Xixia so quickly.
Qu Jingshan's momentary happiness delayed his father's so-called great plan.
Gu Changming didn't know whether to thank Qu Jingshan or not, if there was no unexpected accident, where would the little phoenix fall now, it would be a pitiful little pity who had exhausted his efforts for his father's plan, or an even more unbearable end. Even though he has seen too many cases and all kinds of cruelty, his back is also cold.
"You mean that Lord Sun knew that I was stealing gold, but he also protected me and showed favor to me, all for other purposes." Little Phoenix didn't doubt Gu Changming's words, but once some truths were dissected, it was too hurtful.
"Jiuxiao Drum is an organization, if it is the same as what the old lady doctor in the palace said, then it is an even older existence, and my father's age seems to be a little wrong." Gu Changming roughly calculated it, and it could not be ruled out that someone passed down the plan, and even had amazing wealth to use to complete the so-called great cause.
"Why did your father keep us here?" The little phoenix saw that the surrounding area was so large, and it was fruitless to walk around. The walls on all four sides are tightly knit, and it is estimated that the back of the wall is all solid, and there is definitely no way to break out, and the only exit is still where they fell.
"Let's reflect on it, and hopefully we can change our minds." Gu Changming's soles hurt so much that he couldn't show it in front of the little phoenix, lest she be too worried.
"Brother Gu, can the fallen mechanism be opened again, let's find a way to go up and take a look?" Little Phoenix showed a sly smile, "This is under the study, and no matter how delicately the mechanism is, it is only separated by a floor. ”
"What do you want to do?" When Gu Changming saw her smile, he was all kinds of uneasy, but he still didn't stop it. Because Dai Liu and the others are still outside, their father is a complete danger to them who are completely unaware. They have to get out as soon as possible and everyone is on their guard.
"This kind of mechanism is nothing more than the surface of the live buckle, otherwise it would not be so lightweight. It's just that this trapboard is very large, almost taking up more than half the size of the study. "This is to trap the master, so that he cannot borrow strength on all sides, and once he falls, he will inevitably become a trapped beast in a cage.
The little phoenix raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Changming more, the first thing Gu Wuduo had to deal with was his own son, such a person was a great thing, and he was also an absolute loser. This kind of simple truth, a little woman like her who is mixed with the rivers and lakes knows how to take care of Wu Duo's dignified court officials, who once controlled the entire Criminal Division, and are deeply trusted by the emperor, do not understand!
"Tell me first, what do you want to do?" Gu Changming knew very well that the wound under his feet had not stopped bleeding, and the longer the time dragged on, his strength would be exhausted, and the situation of the little phoenix would become more and more difficult at that time.
"There's a mechanism here, you can't step on it directly, but your arm strength is still there, and I've brought something small." The little phoenix grinned and touched the purse she was carrying, "This was originally wrapped around the arm and followed it like a shadow, but then I simply put it away." ”
An extremely thin chain, the length is enough, the little phoenix divided his hands and raised it in front of Gu Changming's eyes: "You try to break it." ”
Gu Changming was afraid that it would really be torn off, so he used three percent of his strength, but the chain did not move. He immediately understood the little phoenix's intentions: "Strong enough to hang you up." ”
The little phoenix's bare hand flipped over, one end of the chain was a hook claw, and the other end was a trumpet-shaped device, which even Gu Changming had never seen.
"I've just taken a closer look, it's smooth and neat, and the hook claw definitely can't be used, so I can only use this." The little phoenix roughly demonstrated, "Brother Gu, you throw it up with all your strength, and it's best to hit it hard." ”
"Suction?" Gu Changming reacted quickly, he was the first time he called, he didn't hold the strength the first two times, and the third time he heard a muffled sound, and the end he threw up was tightly attached to the top of his head and did not fall down.
Little Phoenix slowly tightened the chain on her arm, trying to bear the weight off the ground, if there was not a mechanism underneath, she could have figured out how to go up herself, where did she have to spend so much effort.
"And then, I'll throw you up?" Gu Changming didn't need her to prompt again, he understood that she wanted to use her strength to go up, and she didn't want to be hurt by the organ. Without saying a word, he hugged her waist and tried the weight, "Light again." ”
The little phoenix glared at him boldly: "Go out and discuss this again." ”
When Gu Changming saw her reaction, he was in a good mood: "It's all annoying to go out, and we all have to face it, are you really sure you want to get out quickly?" ”
"You've said it, it's more dangerous out there, and that's why we have to hurry." The little phoenix had only said half a sentence, and her whole body broke away from Gu Changming's hands, and she jumped lightly into the air. Her body spun rapidly in the same direction, tightening the chain tighter and tighter, and only stopped when it was about a foot above her head.
Gu Changming always leaned up his neck, for fear that she would not be able to control the fall and at least be able to catch the person.
"Brother Gu, I want to see where the mechanism of the live buckle is." The little phoenix stretched out his hand and slowly groped around, since it was a live buckle, it would always leave traces. In the past, when she took on tasks, she went to various key points with heavy mechanisms, which could not be hidden from her fingers.
Gu Changming looked at her light posture, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved upward. Although my father's plan was ridiculous, there was a good saying, he and Phoenix could indeed accomplish a lot of great things by joining forces.
"Found it." The little phoenix felt the unusual bulge, and his fingers groped on it, "Brother Gu, when Sun Youxiang opened the secret room, it was the same as this, but the mechanism was hidden under his desk, and even the size of the device was the same. ”
When she was not timid, she cleanly opened the mechanism in accordance with the method of how to open Sun Youxiang's secret room at that time. Gu Changming saw a light on the top of his head, and shouted in his mouth: "Phoenix be careful!" ”
The little phoenix was bent on breaking the mechanism and letting the two of them return to the ground, probably too smoothly, but forgot that there was a Gu Wuduo on it that was even more terrifying than the mechanism. At the same time that the mechanism opened, Gu Wuduo's figure did not appear.
"You go up first!" Gu Changming didn't wait for anyone when he understood, "Go up and change me again." ”
The little phoenix was never hypocritical, turned over and returned to the study, and put the chain down as quickly as possible, the difference was that the other end was wrapped around her leg by her: "Brother Gu, you come up slowly, I will exit the study and find a way to fix the focus point." ”
Gu Changming saw that the chain was like a swing, swaying from side to side, and finally when it swayed to the right angle, it was tightly held in his hand.
Without any exertion on his part, the chain slowly lifted upwards after making sure he was in his hands, allowing him to fly his feet out of thin air, almost with the soles of his shoes sticking to the surface of the mechanism, reaching the middle position, pausing slightly, and rising again.
