Diqinqing shook his head and said, "I thought of it at that time, so I knocked the wall all over again, and I didn't find anything unusual."

At this time, mu Qianxue suddenly said: "when they talked, did they mention playing chess?"

Qin Qing was surprised and said, "how do you know?"

"According to legend, there are five kinds of Phoenix: Red Phoenix, green Luan, yellow Cuan, white swan and purple Zhuo; Erya also has notes about Phoenix: chicken head, snake neck, swallow jaw, turtle back, fish tail, five colors, six feet high."

Mu Qianxue pointed to the painting in the middle and said, "look at the birds in this painting. Although they are red in color, they have long beaks, sparse wings and round tails. Although they look like Phoenix, they are not Phoenix. I've read a book called the mirror of man before, in which it was mentioned that there are five birds in the world, all of which are like phoenixes, not phoenixes. They are Eastern invention, southern jiaoming, Western chieftain, northern Youchang and central YuQue. Only Jiao Ming is red, which should be the bird in the painting. "

"So the painter made a mistake?"

Mu Qianxue came forward and stroked the paper slowly, "this painting is delicate and vivid. The painter has at least 20 skills, so he should not make such a mistake. Moreover, few people know Jiao mingshenniao, and I know it occasionally."

Qin Qing Liu Mei frowned, "so the painter did it on purpose? But why did he do that? "

"I've seen a chess remnant called Danfeng Chaoyang. Maybe This is the true meaning of the painting. " With this sentence, mu Qianxue fumbled for the paper carefully. When she touched Jiao Ming's eyes, she stopped and pressed it. With the sound of "click click" mechanism, the picture moved away slowly, revealing a chess board. Surprisingly, the chessboard was vertical, but none of the pieces on it fell down and stuck to the chessboard.

"Here it is." As she said this, Qin Qing explored her hand and groped for it. After a while, she said, "it's strange that the account book is not in it."

"Since it's a remnant game, we should untie the chessboard before we can reveal the account books." Dongfang Su said, "I don't know much about chess. What about you?"

"I'm only slightly involved, not profound." Qin Qing turns her eyes to Mu Qianxue, who has become their only hope now.

"I'll do my best." Mu Qianxue reluctantly answered a sentence, was about to move the chess piece, the hand was suddenly pulled by the eastern trace, surprised way: "what's the matter?"

"Look Dongfang Suo solemnly pointed to several crisscross steel wires on the chessboard. These steel wires are as thin as hair, and they are the same color as the chessboard. If you don't look carefully, you can't find them. The two ends of the steel wires are buried in the wall, and you don't know where they are going.

Qin Qing said thoughtfully: "I remember that a wind chime was installed in each corner of the eaves of the red sleeve Pavilion. Normally speaking, there is no wind blowing there. There is no need to install a wind chime. I haven't seen it ring for so many years. Now I think that the bell is probably connected here. Once someone moves the chessboard, yanniang will know. "

Dongfang Su said with a sneer, "for this account book, they really didn't spare no effort."

Mu Qianxue carefully bypassed the steel wire to move the pieces. These pieces were made of magnet and firmly attached to the chessboard made of fine iron. As the first piece moved, a small hourglass next to it began to move, and the fine sand leaked down.

"An inch of time is an inch of gold, an inch of gold can't buy an inch of time..." Qin Qing murmured the couplet. For a moment, sweat oozed from the tip of her nose. She tried to slow down her voice and said, "Madam Fang, you'd better hurry up. If I'm right, we only have a quarter of an hour."

"I see." Muqianxue answered in a deep voice. She saw the hourglass earlier than Qinqing and guessed the meaning of the couplet earlier. Jiang Xu was more cautious than anyone they had seen before. The account book had not yet been found. There were three organs in it. It was a trap step by step.

In the next quarter of an hour, no matter dongfangsu or Qinqing, her heart was in her throat, and she didn't dare to urge mu Qianxue, so as not to damage her train of thought, so she had to wait anxiously.

Handsome four Ping five, car six Ping five.

Handsome five even six, like seven into nine.

With mu Qianxue constantly moving his pieces, red chess began to lose gradually, while black chess was pressing forward step by step.

The commander retreats one after six, and the gun retreats seven after one.

Two soldiers are equal to three, and one gun is equal to five.

When the sand is about to leak out, mu Qianxue finally forces the red chess to the end. As she pulls out the red chess, the chessboard "clicks" and the dark box pops up. An account book appears in front of everyone, and the hourglass stops.

Qin Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, a heart finally put back to the original place, "dangerous."

Dongfang Su raised his hand and stroked the cold sweat between mu Qianxue's forehead. Wen Yan said, "it's hard for you."

Seeing this scene, Qin Qing felt sad and forced herself to look away. "We should go, or we will be in trouble if we are caught."

Dongfang Su nodded, hid the account book in his arms, opened the door and was ready to leave. However, what they didn't expect was that yanniang was at the door and was stunned there.

Yan Niang caresses the bead flower of the sideburns side, the manner is idle way: "really is you make ghost."Dongfang Suo's face changed. He walked out quickly. He saw that the second floor was full of archers, and the black tips of the arrows pointed at Zhang Yuan and others standing at the bottom.

Yanniang stares at Qinqing coldly, "since the day you step into the red sleeve Pavilion, I've been eating and drinking for you. What I eat and wear is more delicate than those ladies. You're so good that you help a man who has only known for a few days to steal from me."

Qinqing bites her lips hard, and Zijuan is also outside. Hearing this, she rushes in to block Qinqing and says in a hurry: "Mom misunderstood. There's no such thing. Girl, she She is careful to go to the wrong place

"Not careful?" Yanniang said sarcastically: "are you coming to Hongxiu Pavilion on the first day or with brains? Even such a mean lie can be told." With that, his eyes turned and fell on his pale face, "do you really think I didn't know you were standing at the door that day?"

With this, Qin Qing was shocked, "you..." She subconsciously want to ask yanniang how to know, and afraid that this is yanniang trap, quickly stop has to mouth.

Yanniang saw what she was thinking and sneered: "from the beginning, Mr. Jiang saw something wrong with you, just to see what your purpose is, so she didn't expose it. I didn't expect You are so stupid. " Then yanniang shook her head and said, "Qinqing, you really let me and Lord Jiang down."

"Don't be afraid." Mu Qianxue comforts Qin Qing quietly, and then looks at Yan Niang, "so you deliberately let us into your room?"
