Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 259 Yuxu
The two yamen servants were extremely astonished, they quickly drew out their simple knives, and looked at them warily.

Of these two people, the man is stern and extraordinary, and the woman is elegant and elegant.

However, both of them wore masks, and no one knew what the faces under the masks looked like.

"You... who are you?" The assassin lay on the ground, staring at the two of them intently.He could only see the side faces of the two, spitting blood and asking intermittently.

"You should know who we are." The man turned around and said indifferently.

When the assassin saw the mask on the man's face, his face turned pale for a moment, and he coughed a few mouthfuls of blood. He suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that they are the real Huanglong and the Taoist Cihang from the 'Twelve Immortals of the Yuxu'. I really don't know if it's my luck or misfortune that an unknown person can make two people attack at the same time."

"It's a blessing to be able to survive, otherwise it's a misfortune. The luck and misfortune are all in your mind." The man called Huanglong Daoist said indifferently.

"Oh? I would like to hear more about it." The assassin looked at the two of them with a half-smile and said.

"The four demons and ghosts have always been inseparable to protect Yang Guozhong. Tell me, what is the purpose of Yang Guozhong sending you to Zhengyang?" Master Huang Long looked at him indifferently.

The assassin snorted, spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and said with a miserable face: "Isn't it obvious enough? My purpose is naturally to assassinate Cui Huan."

Master Huanglong said coldly: "We have investigated your details thoroughly. You and Mei came to Zhengyang together, but you acted separately. I advise you to be honest. If you lose your life because of this, it will be really unfortunate. gone."

The assassin fell silent, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Since you have investigated us, you should know that assassins have an iron rule that they are not allowed to reveal any information about the master, otherwise they will die."

As soon as the words fell, the assassin suddenly picked up the dagger, and slashed across the neck like lightning, and suddenly a stream of blood spurted out like a spring.

"This person is seriously injured, yet he can still move so quickly. His martial arts are not bad. It's a pity that we didn't ask what their purpose is." Master Huang Long shook his head.

Ci Hangdao, who had been silent all this time, said at this moment: "We guessed that they were just trying to assassinate Cui Shangshu, at least now we can be sure that they have other purposes besides that, and it's not fruitless."

Master Huang Long nodded, he picked up the unconscious Cui Huan on his back, and said: "I will send my lord to the yamen first, and then I will meet you again."

With that said, Master Huanglong carried Cui Huan on his back, jumped up onto the roof with ease, and then disappeared after a few flashes.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cui is seriously injured and needs to be treated in time. He will not hurt Mr. Cui." Seeing the hesitant expressions of the two yamen servants, Ci Hang said, knowing that they were worried about Cui Huan's safety.

The two yamen servants also heard the conversation between them, and when Master Huanglong said to send Master Cui back to the yamen, although they didn't believe it in their hearts, they had no choice but to look at each other and sigh.

"Let me ask you, what's the matter with the fire there?" The Cihang Taoist looked at Lichunfang, which was blazing in the distance, and asked indifferently.

"Woman Xia, you have great martial arts skills, please go and save Master Li." The women suddenly knelt in front of her and cried.

Ci Hangdao hurriedly helped a woman up and asked, "Master Li? Which Master Li?"

"It's the magistrate of this county, Li Canghai, Master Li... He didn't hesitate to risk his life to distract the guards in order to save us. Now that the courtyard is on fire, I don't know how Master Li is alive or dead. Heroine, you have great martial arts skills, please I beg you to save Lord Li!" the woman choked up.

"Yes, female hero, please save Master Li!"

"Save Mr. Li! Mr. Li is a good person... Huh."

Taoist Cihang stared blankly at the flames of Lichun Fang, suddenly his body flashed, and he ran towards Lichun Fang quickly with lightness kung fu.

Lichunfang is the largest brothel in Zhengyang City. Most of the attics are made of wood. The entire Lichunfang has now become a sea of ​​flames.

Cihangdao kept swinging his sword, cut a passage in the sea of ​​flames, and rushed in desperately.

"The sea! The sea! Where are you?"

"The sea~!"

Ci Hangdao shouted loudly to Li Canghai in the sea of ​​flames, but the crazily burning flames around her made it difficult for her to move forward.

wow~
A beam fell from the roof because it could not withstand the flames.

With a bang, it landed right in front of Ci Hang Taoist, blocking her way.

The flames inside were steaming, and it was difficult to get in. The Ci Hang Taoist tried a few times, but had to retreat.

The fire burned all night until the next morning, the flames were gradually extinguished.

Everyone was exhausted, staring blankly at everything in front of them.

The Gold Selling Cave that was close to it turned into ruins after only one night. Isn't the glory and wealth like this Gold Selling Cave just passing away, and all that is needed is a fire.

The exhausted Chang Feng took several government servants and searched for the bodies of the victims in the ruins.

The fire came too suddenly. Last night, everyone was only focused on putting out the fire, and they didn't know if there were any casualties.

Chang Feng searched stop and go among the ruins, and suddenly saw a woman squatting in a corner of the wall.

The woman was squatting in the corner. The white dress she was wearing had now turned gray-black, and many places on the dress showed signs of being burned.

Suddenly seeing the woman in white in the ruins, Chang Feng was taken aback, thinking he had seen a ghost.

It wasn't until he saw the other person's face clearly that he said in astonishment: "Miss Xue? You...Why are you here?"

In Luofengji, Chang Feng had met Xue Xuan before, so he was no stranger to her.

But seeing him in the ruins of Lichunfang at this time still made him a little surprised.

"Miss Xue, Miss Xue?" Seeing that Xue Xuan was in a daze, Chang Feng scratched his head and called out twice.

Only then did Xue Xuan slowly raise her head. Seeing her red and swollen eyes and haggard face, Chang Feng couldn't help being startled, and quickly asked, "Miss Xue, are you alright?"

"Dead, Canghai... Canghai... is dead. I am so useless, I haven't found him after searching for a long time... Canghai..." Xue Xuan muttered to herself, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Chang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what she was talking about should be Kang Xu.

About Kang Xu pretending to be Li Canghai, only he, Xiao Wu and Zhang Xuanming knew about it, and even Di Qing was kept in the dark, Xue Xuan naturally would not know the inside story.

Seeing Xue Xuan's distraught appearance, Chang Feng suddenly understood that Xue Xuan had always liked Li Canghai, but Li Canghai was accompanied by Di Qing, so she seldom appeared.

He really wanted to tell Xue Xuan the truth, that Li Canghai was still lying unconscious in the county office, but thinking of other things, he swallowed the words again.

"Miss Xue, in fact...we haven't found any corpses yet, perhaps we don't know if my lord has escaped." Chang Feng thought for a while, and comforted him.

Looking at the burnt ruins of the courtyard, Chang Feng's voice became heavy.
