Chapter 204: Face to Face
Strange to say, after Gu Fei went back, the fire that had been intensifying gradually began to get smaller.
At first, he thought it was because the fire brigade came and there were too many people, so the fire was suppressed.
But after a while, I saw Chang with a few people running over with a strange thing.
"Lord, look ......"
Chang Sui couldn't understand what it was.
But this thing was standing right now in the place where the fire was at its strongest.
He intuitively felt that this thing had something to do with the fire just now.
In front of me was a large object that resembled a waterwheel in the countryside.
It's just that compared to the waterwheel, it is more delicate, and the runner is also specially made of hard pampas leaves to make fan blades, and as soon as you pull the rope at the bottom, the whole waterwheel will rotate rapidly.
It's like an oversized fan.
After Gu Fei understood the principle of this thing, his face became more and more ugly.
Immediately, he suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Yu Ting and Li Gui, and said coldly: "Ask someone to guard that room for me, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" β
"Yes!"
The fire in the yard has been extinguished.
Although the fire came quickly and fiercely, it was clear that the arsonist controlled it very well and did not let the fire hurt anyone.
This is clearly calculated.
Gu Fei couldn't think of anyone other than Ning Xin who would have such a sophisticated brain.
He walked a few steps towards the room where the dungeon was located with a cold face, and then thought of something, turned back to the butler and said, "Promise me that you must not tell my father about this matter." β
Knowing the young master's temperament, although the housekeeper was worried, he still nodded and responded.
Gu Fei walked quickly back to the room with the dungeon.
After thinking about it, he turned around and closed the door seriously, as if he was afraid that someone would see the scene inside the house.
The inside of the house was completely different from when he had just left.
The porcelain vase in the corner fell to the ground, the door of the dungeon was open, and there was a sound of whispering inside.
Gu Fei held his breath and concentrated, and it was easy to tell that the voice below was coming from Ning Xin.
"Uncle, please, you just come with me, I will definitely be able to solve Gu Fei here." The little girl's voice was almost crying.
The air had stagnated for a few seconds, and even Gu Fei was now eager to know how they wanted to run out for a while.
"If you can't go girl, your uncle won't leave, you take your Grandpa Li away, the farther you go, the better, and your uncle will take care of what he does."
The old man, who had always been cold-faced, suddenly laughed at this moment.
His laughter sounded a bit free-spirited in the small dungeon.
Immediately, he stroked Ning Xin's little head, and his tone was full of pampering: "You girl, no matter whose business it is, you have to carry it on your own body, how big your little shoulders are, where can you bear so many things, besides, everything is carried by you alone, so where will we put the face of a big man like your father!" β
Li Gui echoed: "The master is right, I won't leave, I'll accompany the master here, Xin girl, hurry up, don't let someone find out later." β
"But ......"
It took so much effort to come and save people at the risk of killing their heads.
Ning Xin's purpose was to keep them alive.
So no matter what they said, Ning Xin was just thinking about how to persuade the two.
And she didn't give up a vigorous look at Alin, meaning that he would see if there was a suitable time at the scene, and it would be okay to knock the two old men unconscious and carry them back.
Anyway, this family, without Fourth Uncle Yu and Li Gui, it will definitely not work.
Ning Xin would never allow anyone to be missing from this family.
The three of them were still talking, and Ning Xin seriously persuaded the two old men to leave with her quickly.
Taking advantage of this time, Alin was just about to make a move, but was stopped by Fourth Uncle Yu: "Don't move, boy, you can't beat me." β
The voice is shallow and faint, but the tone is unquestionable.
Ah Lin's raised hand was embarrassed in mid-air, and he looked at Ning Xin nervously.
Ning Xin wanted to say something, but at this moment, a tall and broad figure walked in from the door of the dungeon.
"You have a good idea, but have you asked the king's opinion?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Ning Xin chuckled in her heart.
It's over, I've been planning for so long, and I was hit by Gu Fei before I could take people away.
But it has come to such a scene now, no matter what, she is not allowed to escape.
Ning Xin stood up slowly, and her mind was also running rapidly.
Thinking about how to explain all this.
Seeing her dripping little eyes, Gu Fei's face sank, and she said coldly: "No need to make it up, you and I know what you are here for, Ning Xin, you are very powerful, in order to save these two half-buried ones, even the king's palace dared to burn." β
To put it bluntly, there is no need to continue the performance.
Ning Xin also restrained her habitual flattering and cute expression, and raised her head to look directly at Gu Fei.
"Brother Gu Fei, I still call you brother, because in Huainan back then, you had a kindness to me and my father, but what you are doing now is really not like the Brother Gu Fei I knew at the beginning."
Gu Fei raised one side of his eyebrows: "What kind of person was Gu Fei before?" β
Ning Xin replied: "Although the former brother Gu Fei was arrogant but very kind, although he was domineering but his heart was very gentle, he would never disregard other people's lives for the sake of his own secrets." β
Ning Xin is really too smart a person.
Since the moment Fourth Uncle Yu and Li Gui were invited to Hengwang Mansion, many unclear branches began to be continuously summarized in Ning Xin's head.
In addition, she also specially found someone to carefully check those things back then.
Soon, Gu Fei's life experience, including those things in the Huainan Palace, came to light.
She pretended not to know before, in order to protect herself and the people around her.
But now, she has no way out.
At this moment, it is already time to make a desperate bet.
"Gu Fei, I have already arranged people outside before coming, if you don't let us out today, you don't have to wait for the sun to rise tomorrow, everyone in the capital will know that your Royal Highness King Heng is the little prince of the Huainan Palace in the past, you are not the little prince raised in the deep palace at all, you are a person who was almost abandoned by the royal family!"
"Ning Xin, are you threatening me??"
The two of them are already facing each other, and no one has any intention of taking a step back.
Ning Xin made a small face, nodded seriously, and said, "Yes, but as long as you let us go, I will definitely rot in my stomach about this matter, and I guarantee that no one will know about it in this life." β
Gu Fei sneered: "Why should I believe you?" Your father is about to be on the gold list, and soon everyone in the world will know that there is a little noble girl in the Zhuangyuanlang family, who is smart and intelligent, and has both ability and political integrity, you and your father will become the object of everyone's pursuit, how can I believe that you can hold back these secrets and not tell themγγγ β
Ning Xin bit her lower lip, quickly raised her face again, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "As long as you let us go today, I can guarantee that we will never appear in the capital in the future." β
Seeing that Gu Fei didn't believe it, she gritted her teeth and added: "Even if my father stays in the capital as an official." β
"Huh." Gu Fei smiled lightly, looked at the serious little girl in front of her playfully, and said, "Okay, you take it away, you remember to talk and count." β
