Chapter 44: Under Lin Ce(1/2)

In order to see Ming Yin successfully enter He Zhiqing's room, Chu Lingyue disguised herself as Rong Xiu and went to Lingyin Tower.

But she was cautious along the way and didn't notice anyone following her from beginning to end.

"Why did the girl come to a place like this?" Mingyin was surprised and happy when she saw that the person who came was Tang Shiling.

"Although there are many princes and grandsons here, most of them are dandies. As a pure girl, it is better not to show up in crowded places."

As Mingyin spoke, she took the people around her to her room. When Chu Lingyue entered, she was looking at the internal environment of Lingyin Building. When she saw that the room in the top corner was different from other places in terms of location and door, she immediately said:

"Miss Mingyin, the concubine was very happy after receiving the things you gave me. I came here this time on her order to pick up things from Boss He's room."

"All the useful things in He Zhiqing's room have been taken by the second-in-command. Now there are only some furniture left in the room. That comb is the only one I can keep and give to your master... How about I go talk to the second-in-command?

!”

"Our mother-in-law has anticipated this situation. She also said not to embarrass you. If you can't get anything, she will clean the room for her. She also asked the girl to lead the way."

With this reason, Chu Lingyue got the opportunity to stay alone in the room.

Mingyin was right. There was nothing left in He Zhiqing's room except a few simple pieces of furniture. The empty room was so cold that it made the landscape occupying one wall look even more lonely.

There are many chandeliers above the landscape. The light is refracted by small bronze mirrors and casts on the ten thousand-year-old pine, just like sunlight falling down.

The scent of rosin entered her nose, Chu Lingyue raised her hand and touched the moss, and a sense of peace gradually surrounded her.

Suddenly, she came out of her addiction.

There is no circulating water conservancy system in this landscape, and the white pebbles on the ground are extremely clean. Even if moss grows in this environment that is not humid, the green moss should not be dry and dehydrated.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Chu Lingyue's eyes paused slightly.

This moss... is fake!

Decisively, she reached out to grab the branches and leaves of the Ten Thousand Years Pine and came over to take a look. A feeling of shock quickly spread in her heart.

This thing is also fake!

After observing it closely again and again, Chu Lingyue couldn't help but have a little admiration for the author who created the landscape in front of her.

This kind of ability to fake the real thing is not something that can be achieved casually.

He Zhiqing's funds were given by the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty. If he could open such a large Lingyin Tower, there was no need to spend a lot of money on a fake landscape to display here.

"Is there any mystery hidden here?" Chu Lingyue murmured, conducting a detailed search of the landscape.

Sure enough, she finally found a pebble that she could easily pull up.

This "stone" is also fake. There is a twisted steel wire at the bottom, which affects the underground mechanism the moment it is pulled up.

After a while, Wanniansong moved, and a platform appeared underneath that could accommodate five people standing side by side.

Looking down the secret passage, Chu Lingyue finally understood why He Zhiqing's room was not in line with other rooms.

Underneath this room is a huge secret room with many slide rails on the wall. At first glance, it seems intricate, but in fact each one is extremely well arranged.

After going down to the platform, Chu Lingyue reached the ground smoothly through the console on the side.

In order to prevent Mingyin from discovering the clues if it took too long, she took a rough look at the interior layout of the secret room, and finally focused her attention on the metal materials with large and small frames.

Chu Lingyue had also seen these things at Lu Chenyu's place.

The walls were covered with blueprints, various books and operating tools, and with such a large secret room, she was not surprised that it was fake.

Unexpectedly, He Zhiqing is actually proficient in mechanism skills?

Chu Lingyue, who wasted no time in trying to find any new clues, soon found a manuscript written by He Zhiqing.

As soon as I picked it up, a letter fell out.

Before she could take a closer look, a click came from above her head. When she looked up, someone had actually opened the mechanism at Wanniansong!

Seeing that the other party was about to come down, Chu Lingyue hurriedly stuffed the letter back and put the note back in its place, then stretched her legs to hide under the table.

This is the only place to hide.

Unexpectedly, before she could bend down, a cold hand came around her from behind, and the next moment it circled her waist and headed towards the entrance of the institution.

Before the man could go down to the platform, she was brought to the top of the platform.

Looking back, I saw a man I had never seen before.

He held the slide rail with one hand and held her with the other, looking very relaxed.

The strong smell of alcohol followed the platform all the way down. Chu Lingyue followed the smell and saw that the person who came turned out to be an old man wearing ragged clothes, walking with a limp, and a huge wine gourd hanging on his waist.

I saw him sneaking up to a basket of materials, rummaging through it quickly, and finally took out a sack from his arms. He took it as if he were buying something, and then skillfully found another mechanism, dragging the bag and stumbling around.

The ground is gone.

Chu Lingyue couldn't tell for a moment whether the old man was a thief or one of He Zhiqing's people.

"Have you seen enough?" The man holding her asked with a smile, and took her out of the secret room entrance without giving her time to answer.

Seeing him restore the entrance mechanism with her own eyes, Chu Lingyue suddenly became suspicious, and the hand behind her back had already been filled with life-saving voodoo.

"Thank you very much...please forgive me for being presumptuous, little lady, who is the young master?"

The man was approaching step by step, and the unexplained smile on his lips made her feel more and more uneasy.

At the moment when the opponent was forced within three steps of her, Chu Lingyue decisively spilled the voodoo. Unexpectedly, the opponent quickly blocked it with a wave of his sleeves and hugged her horizontally with his backhand:

"It seems that He Zhiqing occupies a big place in the princess's heart, otherwise you wouldn't spend all your energy on him."

He strode to the balcony, and without any intention of stopping, the man climbed onto the railing and jumped down. The charming look in his eyes made him smile even more -

"I'm Lin Ce."

The wind passed through her hair and hit her heart directly. Chu Lingyue looked at him blankly, and the words she just said were almost blown away by the wind.

Everyone in the Yulong Division looked stiff when they saw their master coming back with a strange woman in his arms.

They thought their master had a new love.

As soon as he entered the door, Chu Lingyue collected the disguise Gu and stepped forward to pull off a soft leather mask from Chu Banshi's face.

Weighing the things in her hands, she ground her back molars lightly.

No wonder I didn't notice anything strange at all. I was so used to using the disguise Gu that I forgot that there was such a special thing in the world for disguise.

Realizing that the person in front of her was always smiling at her, Chu Lingyue quickly looked away, slightly lacking in confidence: "Why are you investigating He Zhiqing?"

Chu Banshi put his hands on her waist, grabbed her and sat on his lap, raised her chin and asked: "Why didn't Princess Jing ask me how I recognized you? Could it be that she was afraid that I would catch you again?"

What little tail is that?"

There was a moment of nervousness between his eyebrows and a second of calmness. Chu Lingyue was a little disdainful: "What little tail can I hide from the master?"

As she said this, she pulled out the letter from the table that she had noticed as soon as she entered the door, "Is it for me?"

Nodding, Chu gave her a squeeze and leaned back in the chair, "You should be very interested."

Without a moment's hesitation, Chu Lingyue opened the letter and read it word for word. After a while, she felt a raging flame burning in her heart.

The letter said that Yunzhongmen was a place created by the Chi Li people. It contains all the specialized knowledge related to medical skills, Gu magic, and witchcraft. In addition, it also stores many valuable and unmarketable treasures.

Rare treasure!

However, the Chili people are composed of the witch clan, and the witch clan believes in saints, so the key to opening the Yunzhong Gate will be given to each saint for safekeeping.

But since the Shili people retreated from the world fifty years ago, the Yunzhong Gate has never been opened again.

According to Chu Banshi's investigation, the Chi Li people are also looking for the key to Yunzhong Gate.

"She is indeed from Shili..." Chu Lingyue frowned and muttered.

Judging from the situation where the killer came to the door before, this Yuyin is not only from Chili, but also a saint from the Witch Clan! Otherwise, they would not think that the key is in their hands!

Chu Banshi's smile never faded as he fiddled with the ends of her hair for a long time, "It seems that I really married a fairy."

His words caused Chu Lingyue to be separated from the Yunzhongmen incident on the spot.

Marrying a fairy? Didn’t these words come from Chu Yi’s mouth?

After she reacted, she pulled out the hairpin and lightly stabbed Chu Banshi on the collarbone: "As soon as possible, remove the group of guards you posted in the palace to monitor me. If you don't withdraw, I will not take the same fate Gu.

.”

"Baili Fengling is not a loser."

"He could be."

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Chu kissed the corner of her lips without any warning, "You seem to know him very well?"

She turned away and avoided his kiss. Chu Lingyue was about to read the content of the letter again when he chased her and covered her lips again, "Bai Lishi, it's very dangerous."

Staring at his eyes that were no longer so cold, she felt an itch in her heart.

Before she was immersed in it, a name suddenly flashed through her mind.

"Help me check Sikong You." she said.

She saw this name on the letter that fell out of He Zhiqing's handbook.

The sudden request made Chu Banmo narrow his eyes: "Yulong Division is not a place that specializes in checking people. You want me to help you because you need..."
