【One hundred and three】Inn secret passage

She bent over to hug her without resisting Tang Qu, and lowered her head woodenly, allowing the young man in front of her to mercy.

The two left far away. Seeing them disappearing into the alley, Jiang Chengjia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She subconsciously looked at Cheng Mian. The man in white looked sideways, and he could not see any expression. He only felt that his body was filled with loneliness.

Jiang Chengjia lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and said to Cheng Mian: "Mr. Cheng Xiaolang should explain this matter clearly with Miss Gu. If she doesn't give up completely, she may cause trouble in the future."

"Don't you know?" Cheng Mian smiled bitterly, "But, Xiao Gu is too stubborn. The county lord also saw that I have refused so clearly today, and even asked you to cooperate with Cheng's acting... But she relied on her love for me for many years to act, and acted like a miserable person and miserable person."

Jiang Chengjia's eyes drifted into the distance, and a lot of helplessness arose in her heart. Once upon a time, such a paranoid girl appeared beside Fu Yang. She tried her best to do anything to do and had no bottom line for what she loved. She was really afraid of such a person.

"This is Xiao Langjun's housework, and I am not qualified to intervene. In the future, Yu Jiang will not appear again. I hope Xiao Langjun will make plans in advance." Jiang Chengjia forced his thoughts back from his past memories, and then talked about the serious matter: "Little Langjun, it has been delayed for so long... I haven't asked yet, what kind of way do you have to let me enter the East Palace? Why should I bring me to this small inn?"

Cheng Mian pointed to the inn and said with a gentle expression: "Please enter first by the county lord. The waiter in the guest room will lead you into the private room. Wait for a moment, and Cheng will tell you how to enter the East Palace."

Seeing that he was mysterious and secretly, he refused to say it clearly. Jiang Chengjia looked inexplicably and looked into the inn, but did not find anything unusual here. So he thought to himself: Could it be that the Prince's Highness... is in this inn? In a second thought, he felt it was unlikely. The East Palace was full of imperial guards. If the prince wanted to come out, he had to get the consent of Emperor Wei. He couldn't even step out of his palace room and bedroom, so how could he come to such a small inn?

After thinking about it, Jiang Chengjia didn't come up with a clue, so he could only nod and said, "Since that's the case, Jiang Nu was waiting for the young man in the city in Accord."

Cheng Mian smiled to show that, tilted her head, raised her sleeves and waved to the direction where the waiter in the store: "Good life to take care of the county lord, serve the tea and food."

Seeing that although the white-clothed man was blind, he accurately found the location of the waiter in the store. Jiang Chengjia was still a little surprised and shocked. The waiter responded, and was already accustomed to such a scene. He quickly walked to Jiang Chengjia, bent down and guided him: "This girl, please come."

Jiang Chengjia followed his steps up the long red building. After stepping onto the second floor, he was led into the first accord near the entrance of the stairs. She looked up and down the room and felt that the layout was faint and elegant, showing nobility but not luxurious. Unexpectedly, such a small inn was arranged so elegantly, which showed the character of the owner behind it. She could probably see that Cheng Nian was the owner of this small inn, so she admired the person more and more.

She waited in the house honestly, took advantage of this time to sort out what happened in half a month, and then got another direction. Just as she was thinking about how to completely confirm Deng's evidence of these crimes, a sound of knocking the door came outside the house.

"Mr. County Lord, everything is ready. Can Cheng enter the cabinet and explain in detail?" Then, Cheng Mian's gentle and low voice came.

Jiang Chengjia stood up and walked quickly. While walking to the door, he opened the door for him, he said, "What are you doing so kindly and politely in the city? I have something to ask you for help. Since you already have a solution, please come into the house quickly and talk about it in detail."

Unexpectedly, she opened the door, but the corridor was empty and there was no one in the figure.

Jiang Chengjia stepped out of the threshold and walked around the corridor. He searched around the front and back, but never saw Cheng Mian. She couldn't help but wonder, and returned to the Accord and called out tentatively: "Mr. Cheng Xiaolang? Where are you?"

There was silence inside and outside the house, as if the sound of requests and knocking on the door just now were her hearing hallucinations.

Jiang Chengjia touched her hair, looked at the empty house and corridor in confusion, and closed the door with murmur. Just as she just closed the door, Cheng Mian's voice came again: "My County Lord, Cheng is not outside the door."

Jiang Chengjia was so scared that she shook her whole body, her forehead was chilling, and she asked tremblingly: "Mr. Xiaocheng?"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng reluctantly responded: "I'm here."

Jiang Chengjia listened to the direction of the sound source, identified it and confirmed that it was coming from outside the house. So he opened the door and looked out. She was the only one on the second floor, and even the waiter in the shop was not there. Cheng Mian's voice seemed to have been intercepted by something and disappeared without a trace.

She had goose bumps in her body, slammed the door, leaned against the door, stared at the furnishings in the house with caution, and thought about it for a moment, then she felt that there was something wrong with the Accord. So she groped against the crack of the door, and the walls and windows bit by bit.

Soon, she discovered that the two sides of the house were extremely symmetrical. Behind the screen in the Accord inner room, there was a wall carved with exquisite murals. In front of the wall was a spacious bookshelves, and there were some jade bottles and pottery bowls on both sides of the shelf. Although there was nothing unusual, the careful Jiang Chengjia found that the bookshelf was close to the ground, and there were two extremely subtle horizontal lines spreading from the center to both sides.

She squatted down and stroked the line that was almost completely buried in the bluestone bricks, and couldn't help but be amazed: the decoration of the house and the traces around the bookshelf, even if the people who know the cleverness and who are good at building secret rooms deliberately checked and observed carefully, they could not find anything. She was proficient in the Qimen Dunjia, and when she entered the house, she could not see any clues, which shows how brilliant the construction of this house was. If she hadn't found the place where Chengmian was frequently found, she would never have thought of the mystery hidden in this Accord.

Jiang Chengjia gently shook the bookshelf, but it was like Mount Tai, without any shaking. So she cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Jiang's girl already knows the unusualness of the Accord here. I hope the husband will appear quickly and explain."

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely shallow laughter came from outside the house. Then came the sound of the door lock starting, and gears seemed to be rotating around the Accord. Jiang Chengjia stood in the middle of the house, listening carefully to the rolling sound coming from his ears.

Soon, she noticed that there were two extremely slight clicking sounds hidden in this huge movement. At this time, the mural carved with exquisite pictures in front of her had a thin crack in the middle, and the bookshelf placed in front of her slowly retreated to both sides with a click.

Cheng Mian's voice sounded clearly in the house: "People's fault, Cheng just wanted to see the famous Jiang girl in the rumor... Is it as the world said, unparalleled intelligence?"

The man in white sat on the wooden wheel with his waist straight, his eyebrows and eyes curled like crescent moons, and his smile was like the warm and warm sun in winter.

Jiang Chengjia widened her eyes and her eyes fell into the dark tunnel behind Lang Jun. She said in surprise: "What a small inn has such a secret passage?"

Cheng Mian nodded with a smile and asked in a low voice: "Can the county lord know... where is this secret passage leading to?"

Jiang Chengjia raised her eyebrows, her black and bright pupils turned, and a ridiculous thought suddenly arose in her heart: "Is it...is this connected to the East Palace?"

Otherwise why... Chengmian wanted to bring her here?

While confirming this idea, she thought: How is this possible? Why did the prince build such a secret passage to lead to the outside world?

Cheng Mian couldn't help but curl up when she heard the answer from her mouth: "The county lord is indeed amazing. This is why Cheng brought the county lord here. I don't know that the county lord may have discovered that the geographical location of the small inn happened to be directly behind the East Palace. If a person with high martial arts skills only needs to jump onto the wall to get close to the stone wall of the East Palace."

Jiang Chengjia was shocked and took a lot of breaths, feeling unbelievable.

"Is it buried here? Is it buried underground? I saw that the shops around the inn are open as usual... It seems to have no effect. Could it be... the little husband and the prince of the city are not afraid of outsiders to find out?"

"What the county lord thought was that Cheng and the prince had naturally discussed it. Therefore, the shops in front, back and forth near the small inn have been secretly bought by Cheng. Now, the people who do shop business are all their own people, so they will not be revealed." Cheng Mian replied: "It's getting late. If it's late, the prince will come to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty and the Queen. The county lord will come with Cheng, and you and I will go to the East Palace to pay homage to His Highness."

Jiang Chengjia looked out the window, thinking about Jiang Chengyi's condition, and immediately nodded and said, "Miss Jiang thanked the young man in the city. If he could save his brother, he would have to give him a generous gift in the future and go to Cheng Mansion to thank him."

Cheng Mian didn't even chew the sound, rolled the wooden wheel, adjusted the direction, and headed into the black tunnel.

Jiang Chengjia hurriedly followed.

This secret passage seemed to be in order to facilitate the movement of Chengmian up and down, all the steps were set up as gentle slopes. There were seven or eight other paths on both sides of the tunnel, which were also somewhat deep. The structure here was well-structured, smooth walls and stones, and the ground was brand new. It seemed that it had just been built, and the manpower and material resources should be extremely large. Jiang Chengjia looked at it while shocking: the prince built such a wide secret passage room in private, but there was no sound of the wind outside, and even Qianjidou didn't know at all. Should she think the prince was scheming, or should she think that Chengmian, who worked with the prince to build this tunnel, was able to be able to do it?
