Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 146 Who Are You (The Showdown Begins)
On the night of March, the light moon cage gauze, graceful and graceful, with the wind blowing across the cheeks, brushing the long hair.

Ji Chong stood in front of the brightly lit Zhenhualou with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the tall plaque - Zhenhualou. The three characters were hooked and wrapped around and reflected by the colorful lanterns, as if drunk and dreamed.

Gao Chen's property is the most glamorous gold shop in the whole capital, and it is said that his monthly income can catch up with the financial income of an ordinary county.

What kind of people come to consume it?

There are the children of the Ji clan who are lying flat, there are the children of the century-old family who have their husbands, and there are all kinds of businessmen and new nobles, either to show their status, or to please the Gao family, or to spend a lot of money here deliberately.

Regardless of the purpose of these people, in the end, all the real money in their pockets went into Gao's pocket.

"Your Highness..." Mu Tong whispered to the motionless master, do you really want to go in?

Ji Chong lowered his eyes and stepped into the pillow flower building.

On the third floor of Pillow Flowers, the boy who was inquiring about the news hurried to Gao Chen's side, "Master, he's here—"

As Gao Chen left, except for the light coming from the eye hole, the surroundings were pitch black. Shen Chuxia's eyes had already adapted to the darkness. She stood beside the hole light, thinking about Gao Chen's words when he left.

He said, "I will not kill you, I will give you a chance to escape, as long as you can survive."

Play games with her?He has this leisurely mind, but she doesn't have the spirit.

Gao Chen seemed to see through her thoughts, and smiled evilly: "You, I have no choice." The smile was dangerous and evil.

Shen Chuxia bit her lip, staring at this boring man, really...

"I discovered this interesting cave by accident. I found it interesting. Many people came to visit it, but in the end they..." His eyes were dark and gloomy, like a cobra looking for food in the dark, making people feel cold all over.

Don't let him say it, Shen Chuxia already knew what it meant, and felt goose bumps all over her body.

Gao Chen seemed very satisfied with the result, "It's up to you whether you can escape from birth or not. I hope you can become the No.1 escape from birth."

"You killed a lot of people?" Shen Chuxia grasped the point of the words, and her teeth itch with hatred.

Gao Chen's raised eyebrows fell, and he said sternly, "Cultivate loyal people, get rid of those who stumble, and use this cave to check the school. There is really no better way than this."

God, what's the difference between that and killing her.

Shen Chuxia hated, "Gao Chen, Zhang Shuran is so sincere to you, you use her like this, aren't you afraid of losing your children and grandchildren?"

I don't know what word touched Gao Chen Nilin, he quickly reached out and pinched Shen Chuxia's fragile throat, as long as he exerted a little force, he could strangle her to death.

Four eyes facing each other.

A vicious one.

A suffocating little fish.

"Break off children and grandchildren?" He said in a dark voice, "I'm afraid this person is Ji Chong."

"Cough...cough..." Shen Chuxia was about to die from being pinched.

"Don't believe it?" Seeing that her face was pale and she was about to suffocate, Gao Chen let go of her hand and sneered, "Don't worry, my son must have been born before Ji Chong."

Shen Chuxia sucked in the air with great gulps, following the cut off breath.

Gao Chen surrounded her, and said sinisterly, "I just took advantage of a woman's jealousy. If she is not careful, can she be fooled by me?"

"What small thoughts can she have? She is obsessed with you and wants to become one with you. You are not afraid of God's punishment for using her like this?"

"Haha..." Gao Chen seemed to have heard the funniest joke, "You don't understand her little thoughts?" He stuck to her ear like a ghost, "In her eyes, I look for you, just like you Robbed his man, she wished I could kill you, do you understand?"

"you……"

In addition to the sun, the most difficult thing to look at in this world is the human heart.

"Impossible..." Shen Chuxia knew that what Gao Chen said might be true, but she still didn't want to think badly of such a capable little lady, no, no, she was really fascinated for a while, she knew that the person she liked was Ji Chong, It was impossible to have anything to do with the dark man in front of him.

Gao Chen straightened his robe with disdain, "You can escape, or you can sit here and wait to die if you don't, your life is in your own hands anyway."

He walked away.

The high dome is hung with various shapes of glazed lamps. The axis of the lamp base rotates like a revolving lantern.

Gao Chen sat in the shadow of colorful lights, lazily, with a scarlet robe sweeping the floor, a little sickly like pale skin that hadn't seen light all year round, with his elbows stretched on the chair and his fingers resting on his temples.

Hearing the boy's excited cry, he saw a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, revealing an unfathomable taste.

When he tilted his head to look at the long wooden ladder, his eyes met someone.

Xie Mei smiled.

Dangerous and evil.

Ji Chong raised his eyes.

His eyes are cold.

Gao Chen sat motionless.

The two confront each other.

The sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of joking, suddenly seemed to disappear.

The whole building was silent.

"Where is she?" Ji Chong asked quietly.

"Who?" Gao Chen asked the people around him deliberately, with a look of surprise on his face, "Do you know who His Highness is asking?"

Surrounded by a piece of silence.

"Do you know?" Gao Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed the nearest guest, "Junwang Luyang, do you know who your cousin is asking?"

"I...I don't know..."

Gao's father and son controlled the Ministry of Households and the Shaofu. Although they are the royal family, a lot of money and carbon filaments have to be passed from the Gao family's father and son. Then dare not cooperate with him in acting.

"Do you know..." Gao Chen stood up and asked the others.

No one dared to answer.

In fact, they really don't know.

Gao Chen grabbed Shen Chuxia very suddenly.

Suddenly?Only Ji Chong knows that he has been waiting and preparing for the upcoming event for three years.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong here.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around, and walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back.

Leave a sentence, "Can I understand that someone panicked first..."

Gao Chen's pupils narrowed.

The corner of Ji Chong's mouth raised slightly, he turned his head, looked up, turned around again, and left in a calm manner.

Gao Chen squinted.

The caring person whispered, "Master, are you going to kill her?"

Gao Chen stretched out his hand.

"Yes, sir." The caring person quietly retreated.

As if nothing was ever said.

After leaving the feasting and feasting Zhenhualou, Mu Tong asked in a panic, "Your Highness, if the surname Gao becomes angry, will he be killed..." Mrs. Shen.

Ji Chong looked up, the night was thick.

"Where's the old hunchback?"

"Your Highness, you want to see him.?"

"Ah."

"I'll have someone call him."

Ji Chong's face was icy, "Didn't you understand what I said?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Mu Tong didn't dare to say more.

Zhishi hastened to make arrangements.

In the dark cave, Shen Chuxia touched the cave. The cave wasn't very big, but there were no doors around.

"Impossible, there must be a mechanism, but I don't know it."

She began to simulate the direction from which the servant came in with the lantern, and then in that direction, there must be a carpet-like search mechanism, whether it is a touch-type or a password-type, it is all waiting for her to solve it.

On the night of March, the wind-smoked people were intoxicated.

Ji Chong and old Han Tuo meet in a deep alley.

"Who are you?" Ji Chong asked three words as soon as they met.

In the room, only a small oil lamp was lit, and the light was dim, casting the shadows of the two on the wall like a clock.

Those three simple words seem to reveal a long-lost past.

The old man took a puff of dry cigarette, although his voice was broken, he finally opened it with a question: "Your Highness, how old do you think I am?"

Ji Chong took a special look, but didn't say anything.

Mu Tong said impatiently, "Whoever has time to listen to your chatter here, hurry up and return to His Highness."

The attitude of the attendants around the big man actually represents the attitude of the big man.

The old fool was twitching again, as if if he didn't answer his questions, he wouldn't answer his questions.

Just as Mu Tong was about to show his eyes, Ji Chong stopped him.

Tick ​​tick tick... After touching the wall for an hour, there was no response from the wall. Shen Chuxia's arms were sore and tired. Only then did she discover a serious problem. If she couldn't find the mechanism, she would starve to death here.

Could it be that those who did not succeed in the past starved to death here?It can make everyone miss, so this switch must be difficult to touch.

Shen Chuxia raised her head, and the place she couldn't reach was estimated to be as tall as a person. She looked into the hole, "Then the light seems to be moonlight, and it must be night now." She turned around, "What if the sun is shining? Will it be brighter, will it be able to shine into the cave?"

She had to find a rock that she could step on and climb up, and only then could she reach the switch.

"Then sleep first and wait for the sun to come out." After she cleared her mind, Shen Chuxia, who had been flustered and irritable just now, calmed down a lot. She sat under the hole and waited for the dawn.

Old Han Tuo didn't know whether the regent had the patience to listen to him tell a story about the past, but before he could speak, a follower came over and whispered something in his ear, so he got up.

Old Han Tuo raised his head.

Ji Chong lowered his eyes, "Gao Chen picked up Chu Xia." After speaking, he walked away.

Old Han Tuo was taken aback for a moment, then stood up, "Your Highness, do you need my help?"

Ji Chong turned his head to look at him, "20 years ago, Song Xiaoxiang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, knew him?"

Old Han Tuo's hands holding the dry tobacco trembled violently.

Everything goes without saying.

"Are you Song Yanshan, the youngest son of the Song family who went to Yangzhou to play with the skinny horse and disappeared?" Ji Chong said, "If you are, then you will be thirty and eight years old this year, and you will be the same age as Shen Xiaoniang's father."

Old Han Tuo covered his face and squatted down.

Shrunk into a circle, thin and small, really like a 63-year-old old man.

Ji Chong said coldly: "Why did Shangshu Song be beheaded?"

"Tong Wo." Old Han Tuo got up abruptly.

Ji Chong looked at him coldly, waiting for him to finish.

But old Han Tuo cried out excitedly, "If only I didn't go to Yangzhou to have a good time, it's me, it's me who killed my father and the whole Song family!"

Ji Chong snorted coldly, "You have to thank you for being absurd when you were young, otherwise that fate is here waiting for revenge."

Old Han Tuo seemed to have found someone to confide in, "But I have been waiting in the capital for 20 years, 20 years, and I still haven't found a chance to bring down the Gao family. I..."

He was so remorseful that he beat his chest, that life would be worse than death.

Ji Chong stared coldly, turned and left.

Old Han Tuo stared blankly at the back of his leaving, until the back was about to disappear, he did not react, "Yes, Your Highness, I will immediately send all the horses to help you find Miss Shen."

At the entrance of the alley, Su Juesong waited nervously for his master, and when he saw Ji Chong, he immediately joined him, "Your Highness, I just received a report from the north that Wacha and the Tatars are coming, and the attack is raging. Only the army can't suppress it."

It's too late for 'time'.

Ji Chong frowned, "Send one hundred thousand troops."

"Who is the commander in chief?"

"Zhao Lingyuan"

"Okay, I'll draw up an order right away."

The host and guest disappeared into the night.

In the darkness of night, ghosts and monsters were dispatched one after another.

In the pillow flower building, Gao Chen was leaning on the couch. There was no silk and bamboo singing and dancing in the room, and the servant stepped forward lightly, "Master Hui, the little lady in the cave has been touching all night and has not touched the mechanism. She is too tired to move now." .”

Gao Chen hooked his lips and smiled: "What else?"

"Return to Your Highness, just now Ji Chong went to see that Hei Tuo who often hangs out with Miss Shen."

"Have you found out who he is?"

The servant shrank his head.

"It's so mysterious, even my people can't find it out, it's really interesting."

Seeing that the master did not blame him, the servant immediately relaxed his vigilance, "Yes, sir, this old, dark and ugly man cost us more than a dozen people to investigate, and we have checked everything related, but there is no such person .”

"How long has he been in the capital?"

"Master Hui, according to people who have seen it, it may have been 20 years. He is quite old, and he may have lived through several dynasties."

"You mean, he is not the enemy of our Gao family?"

"That's for sure." The servant flattered.

Gao Chen killed him with a look.

The servant was so frightened that he died, "Forgive me, forgive me..."

Dawn always comes before you know it. Uncle Xiaoguo Liu Weixian waited for two or three days, and finally waited for Shen Xiuer to go out, and jumped out of the carriage, "Miss Shen, everything is fine in the shop, you can open it."

"No rush." ​​Shen Xiu'er avoided him.

"Why don't you rush, if you open one day later, you will lose one day of money, don't you feel sorry for it?"

On behalf of Shen Yuanshi, Shen Xiu'er went to the Prince Regent's Mansion to ask Shen Chuxia to come back, so she was in the mood to argue with him, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do."

"What's the matter?" Liu Weixian was attached to Shen Xiu'er, and smiled, "I have a carriage, I'll take you, hurry up."

Shen Xiuer just refused.

"Miss Shen, for a beautiful little lady like you, walking on the street with only one girl is very dangerous, do you know that?"

……

Shen Xiu'er was stunned for a moment, what did he just say, that she was beautiful?Compared with the bright and bright atmosphere of her cousin Shen Chuxia, she can only be considered delicate, how beautiful is she.

He is obviously ordinary, but the man says he is beautiful, and he has nothing to do to be courteous, so... Shen Xiuer's ears are red, "Please let me go."

The little lady was actually shy.

Liu Weixian was stunned for a while, Xiaoguo's charm was indeed boundless, and he coughed lightly on purpose: "Don't worry, Shen Chuxia personally agreed to this."

"What, when did you meet Chu Xia?"

"Three days ago, what happened?" Liu Weixian felt strange.

"What about yesterday, have you seen it?" Shen Xiu'er thought he had been to the Prince Regent's Mansion.

Liu Weixian thought this question was strange, but he answered honestly: "I haven't seen it before."

"Then have you been to the Regent's Palace?"

Why do you go where you have nothing to do? Speaking of which, can anyone go to the Prince Regent's Mansion at will?Even Uncle Xiao Guo was no exception, he didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile: So you are going to the Regent's Palace, tell me earlier, I will take you. "
