Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 20

Late at night, the streets are deserted.The autumn wind is bleak, blowing the fallen leaves on the ground.

Di Renjie was pacing slowly in the house, when suddenly the candles in the house went out, Di Renjie thought it was blown out by the wind, and just about to go out to ask someone to light the lamp, suddenly the lamp turned on again.

At some point, there was a young man sitting on the seat in the room. Di Renjie turned around slowly without changing his expression, and asked, "Who are you?"

The young man said slowly: "It is said that Mr. Di is a god of reasoning, and often judges a person's identity by his temperament and clothes. Xiao Ke just wants to see and see?"

Di Renjie looked at the young man carefully with a pair of sharp eyes, and said, "I think you came to visit late at night, and you don't want to play hide-and-seek with me!"

The young man said: "I just want to confirm whether Di Gong is really as godly as the legends say, is he just a waste of fame?"

Di Renjie laughed when he heard the words: "The old man is over sixty years old, and he has long passed the age of being competitive. And reputation is nothing but a thing outside of me. Besides, I, Di Huaiying, have real talents and real learning, It’s not like you, a young man, can judge with a single sentence.”

The young man smiled disdainfully when he heard the words, and said, "This should be considered clever talk."

Di Renjie smiled when he heard this, and said: "You can think what you want, but I already have a premonition that there will be some gains today. In order not to waste time, I decided to give it a try."

The young man said, "Please speak."

Di Renjie looked at the young man carefully again, and said slowly: "The waist is straight, the legs are slightly apart, and the hands are on the desk. It is a typical sitting posture of a junior guard officer. His face is haggard and pale, but his cheeks are flushed. From a medical point of view, it’s due to weak essence and blood, and swollen fire, which is caused by excessive blood loss. This can be seen from the blood oozing from your left collar.”

Hearing the words, the young man touched his collar subconsciously.

Di Renjie went on to say: "It is so late at night, you sneaked into my house through the window to see me, you must not want others to know your whereabouts. Then, a seriously injured junior officer of the guards, who is moving secretly? ?”

Di Renjie paused with a sneer, and then said: "Li Yuanfang, the captain of the guard who escorted the Turkic mission, the most wanted criminal by the imperial court."

The young man opened his eyes wide, stood up slowly in disbelief, and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really can't believe that there are people like you in the world."

The young man walked up to Di Renjie and said, "Yes, I am Li Yuanfang."

Di Renjie nodded: "That's right, under such circumstances, daring to come to see me alone is enough to prove your courage. Why did you kill the Turkic mission?"

Li Yuanfang took a deep breath, and asked, "Your Excellency, do you really think I killed it?"

Di Renjie said: "It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is the facts."

Li Yuanfang defended: "I did not collude with criminals to kill the mission."

Di Renjie sneered and said, "Do you think I will believe you?"

Li Yuanfang said with certainty: "Others won't, adults will."

Di Renjie finally smiled: "Even if I knew, I'm just a Pengze county magistrate, and I can't help you."

Li Yuanfang shook his head and said, "It should be said that it is now."

Di Renjie frowned and asked, "Oh? What do you mean?"

Li Yuanfang said affirmatively: "Your Excellency returned to Beijing this time, probably to investigate the murder of the mission."

Di Renjie's expression changed slightly, he turned around and said, "How do you know?"

Li Yuanfang saw that Di Renjie, who had been calm since he entered the room, finally changed his face. He smiled triumphantly and said, "Secret."

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that you came today to tell me a story."

Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Are you sure that I will believe you?"

Li Yuanfang said firmly, "Yes."

Di Renjie frowned: "Why?"

Li Yuanfang said sternly: "It depends on the adults' mind and accurate judgment."

When Di Renjie heard this, he smiled and said, "This high hat is well worn. It seems that I have to listen even if I don't want to. Let's talk."

Li Yuanfang nodded and recalled: "We are No. 12 in August, starting from Yongcheng. The task of the humble officer is to lead the guards and protect the safety of the mission. Everything went smoothly at the beginning, until the night of August 22, The mission camped in Shihechuan, Gannan Province. At about three o'clock, the humble staff led people to check the camp."

Such a picture flashed in Li Yuanfang's mind.

He was leading people to check the camp, and suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance. With the sound of the letter cannon, the terrible attack began.

Countless men in black rode steeds, armed with steel knives, and rushed into the camp. Many people were killed in the tent before they had time to put on their clothes.

Those who escaped from the tent were killed by black-clothed killers who had already ambushed around them.

Li Yuanfang went on to say: "I have never seen such a terrible attack in my life. The means and speed of those killers still scare me when I recall them. In just a quarter of an hour, everyone fell down. The humble job protects Shibi Khan , to stand out from the encirclement, but at this moment, a terrifying person appeared."

Such a picture flashed in Li Yuanfang's mind.

In the middle of the night, he took Shibi Khan to an abandoned castle, and made Shibi Khan hide under a wall first.

After hiding, Shibi Khan said in panic, "General Li, what should we do now?"

Li Yuanfang turned around and said to Shibi Khan, "Your Highness, let's hide here for a while and wait until dawn."

Shibi Khan nodded, touched the peace negotiation documents in his arms, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just at this time, a poisonous snake sprang out from the tree next to the castle.

Seeing this, Shibi Khan was shocked and shouted, "Snake."

Li Yuanfang looked up, waved the knife in his hand, and chopped off the branch and the snake.

At this time, a figure appeared behind the tree.

Li Yuanfang was shocked and shouted, "Who are you?"

The figure slowly approached, and when he saw it clearly, he was wearing a green robe and a black mask. The most striking thing was the hat he was wearing, on which there were two things that looked like horns.

The masked man in green robe replied: "Just call me 'Viper'."

Li Yuanfang asked, "Are you waiting for us?"

Adder said, "Yes."

Li Yuanfang shouted to Shibi Khan who was behind him: "Go!"

When Shibi Khan heard the words, he rushed out of the castle as if waking up from a dream, holding the burden in his arms.

Viper ignored Shibi Khan's escape and just looked at Li Yuanfang.

At this time, Shibi Khan ran out of the castle in a hurry, and suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes behind him, and Shibi Khan looked back in panic, and there was a horse chasing him from behind, and then there was a "clang", Shibi Kehan Khan's head flew out, and the package he was holding in his arms fell off with a "snap", and something scattered out of the package was the shining gemstone.

At this time, Viper quietly looked at Li Yuanfang, and suddenly took out a white lake silk handkerchief embroidered with small snakes from his sleeve, wiped his hands lightly, and threw it on the ground casually.

Viper slowly pulled out the sword from the scabbard at his waist, while Li Yuanfang was empty-handed, just looking at him quietly.

Viper said slowly: "Do it!"

Li Yuanfang still didn't move.

Suddenly there was a flash of cold light, and Li Yuanfang finally moved. Li Yuanfang had a light steel knife in his hand, and with a "stab", Viper's sleeve was cut open.

Viper was not angry but happy, and said: "In all these years, I have never met an opponent. I am very happy to meet you today."

Then the Viper suddenly dodged behind Li Yuanfang, and before Li Yuanfang could react, there was a gash on Li Yuanfang's back.

When Li Yuanfang looked back, the Viper returned to its original position, as if it had never moved.If it wasn't for the wound on his back, Li Yuanfang would have thought it was just a hallucination.

At this time, Viper leisurely took a sword flower and stabbed at Li Yuanfang.Li Yuanfang knew that he was no match for the person in front of him, so she didn't dodge or avoid the sword flower stabbed by the Viper, and directly raised the steel knife in her hand towards the Viper's throat.

Seeing this, Viper moved the slow sword in his hand like lightning. After the two passed by, Li Yuanfang had another gash in his back, and Viper disappeared, only the sound came from the air. He heard the slow voice of the Viper.

"You're good, you're good!"
