Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 311 Bet
"Huh? How dare you question the words of Tianzun? Be careful that you will be punished by Tianzun, and you will be smashed to pieces in an instant!" The injured Taoist frowned, glanced at Li Canghai, and shouted coldly.

"Oh? It's a pity that I didn't drink the poison. Your poison is useless to me." Li Canghai squinted his eyes and said calmly.

"Nonsense, this is God's punishment from heaven, only those who obey the sky will be fine. I advise you to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, otherwise it will be too late to regret!" The injured Taoist stared seriously.

"Abandon the dark and turn to the bright? It's ridiculous, so let me talk about your so-called 'bright way'?" Li Canghai said calmly with his hands behind his back.

"What kind of onion are you, dare to spread nonsense here? Now, the destiny is already established, those who follow the sky will prosper, and those who go against the sky will perish, so what can you do?" The injured Taoist sneered.

Li Canghai glanced at him, turned to Li Longji and asked, "Your Majesty, do you trust me?"

Li Longji's face was serious, he looked at Li Canghai, then at Li Tan, he seemed to be hesitant.

"Your Majesty, this person cannot be trusted!" Yang Guozhong glared at Li Canghai fiercely, and said to Li Longji.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, there is no doubt about employing people, and no doubt about using people. Please make your own decision." Li Tan saluted Li Longji deeply.

Li Longji stroked his white beard, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Tan'er is absolutely right, Li Canghai, I appointed you to handle this matter with full authority, and you can make all decisions!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yang Guozhong was startled. Li Longji had given Li Canghai great power. It could be said that he held the power of life and death. How could he not be surprised?

Li Canghai bowed deeply to Li Longji, turned to look at the injured Taoist, and said with a smile, "Now, can my onion have any weight?"

The injured Taoist frowned suddenly, and he looked at Li Canghai with doubts in his eyes.

Li Longji would actually entrust this matter to him, a little unknown, so he must be capable.

"Hmph, even so, what can you do? Could it be that you alone want to go against the sky?" The injured Taoist sneered dismissively.

Li Canghai ignored the Taoist's ridicule, but said indifferently: "You are indeed very powerful. You are able to create such a complicated situation to force the Holy One to abdicate. 'Nilin Xuanwu' is indeed extraordinary."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised.

Hearing this, Li Longji became angry immediately, and scolded fiercely: "Sure enough, they are a group of rebellious officials and thieves. I should have thought it was you!"

"Pindao doesn't know what you're talking about." The injured Taoist made a dazed look and said, "Pindao has the heart of heaven, and I will give you a chance if the emperor writes down the imperial edict. , you can still enjoy the glory and wealth, otherwise you will wait for the punishment of God!"

"Oh? I'll give you a chance too." Li Canghai said lightly: "You have indeed surrounded the palace, but you are too arrogant. If you fight desperately, you may not be able to take any advantage."

"Stop lying to me. What kind of storm can you cause?" The injured Taoist raised his right hand, ready to order an attack: "Implement the second plan, kill the emperor, and seize the jade seal!"

A group of rebels rushed forward following the order of the injured Taoist.

"Protect Your Majesty!" Yang Guozhong yelled, and hurriedly rushed to Li Longji, pretending to regard death as home.

When Li Longji saw this, the corners of his eyes were moistened immediately.

"Wait!" Li Canghai suddenly yelled loudly at the critical moment, he looked at the injured Taoist, and said slowly: "Taoist priest, your purpose is to let the Holy Majesty write the edict of abdication, and I want to protect the Holy Majesty Safe. Instead of fighting to the death, how about we take a gamble?"

The injured Taoist was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing: "This palace is already under our control, why should I bet with you?"

"Oh? You really think you control the palace?" The corners of Li Canghai's mouth turned up, revealing a mysterious smile.

"My lord, it's time." Li Canghai said to Li Tan.

Li Tan nodded, and then let out a sharp whistling sound.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a while, a soldier pretending to be Ying Yangwei walked quickly towards the injured Taoist, and whispered something serious in his ear.

After hearing this, the injured Taoist was not only taken aback, but with a gloomy face, he asked in a low voice, "How many people are here?"

"I don't know the number of people yet, but everyone who came here is a master of martial arts." The soldier replied.

"Let everyone be vigilant, and anyone who dares to invade will be shot to death!" The injured Taoist said sternly.

After explaining, he suddenly looked at Li Canghai, with a fierce gleam in his eyes.

Li Canghai's face was as calm as usual, he looked at the injured Taoist quietly, but secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately there is still Jianning Tiewei in Luoyang City.

The Jianning iron guards are Li Tan's guards. Although there are not many of them, they are all masters of martial arts, so they are most suitable to be used as surprise soldiers.

"In this case, if you really fight to the death, do you really think you can succeed?" Li Canghai said confidently with his hands behind his back, showing a sense of arrogance all over his body.

"Hmph, you are too overestimating yourself. How long can you guys last? Just wave your hand and you will be killed in an instant. What's the use of having so many people outside?" The injured Taoist snorted coldly.

"You are wrong, you think they are all poisoned? Hehe, you overestimate the poison in your hands, General Gao, get up, don't pretend anymore!" Li Canghai laughed, and then shouted.

Gao Lishi, who was lying on the ground, grinned when he heard the words, got up from the ground with difficulty, and said with a smile: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Master Li's eyes."

The injured Taoist was startled, and Hongyan looked at Gao Lishi in disbelief.

People who have been poisoned by this poison will become limp all over as long as they exercise their skills, and they will never be able to stand up again, but Gao Lishi did stand up, which made them suspicious. Could it be that Gao Lishi was not poisoned as Li Canghai said.

What really shocked them was what Li Canghai said next: "If I'm not mistaken, your so-called 'Longevity Wine' is actually made of 'Mysterious Ice Gu', isn't it?"

The injured Taoist was stunned for a moment. He looked at Li Canghai, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

"How could you... talk nonsense! How could there be bugs in this wine?" The injured Taoist said with a gloomy expression.

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes. In fact, when Master Zhang died, he felt that Master Zhang's death seemed familiar.

Later, after a few people died inexplicably in succession, Li Canghai became more suspicious, because the death of these people was very similar to the appearance of the people who were killed by the 'Xuan Ice Gu'.

It wasn't until he intentionally lied to him just now that he realized that his guess was true, that 'Nilin Xuanwu' was really using the 'Xuanbing Gu'.

It just made him wonder that the 'Xuan Ice Gu worms' had not been completely wiped out by him long ago?Why is there such a Gu worm?
