Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 399
"Has he ever been to Japan?" Li Canghai wondered.

Li Yu seemed to be drinking. He felt that drinking from a wine glass was not very satisfying, so he simply held the wine pot in his hand and took a big gulp from the spout. Li Yu said: "Who knows! This is all his father That said, I don’t know if he’s been there or not.”

While speaking, Di Qing and Qi Yunhe had already met each other.

Di Qing's sword is as bright as a waterfall, her sleeves are flying, and her swordsmanship is elegant, just like a fairy dancing a sword, ever-changing.

Qi Yunhe is not weak, he holds a sword in one hand, pays attention to calmness, and every move is extremely tricky.

The two exchanged more than a dozen moves in an instant, and they each drew.

This made Di Qing a little excited. It was rare to find an opponent, so how could she just stop there?
"Good swordsmanship, pay attention, this girl is about to show real swordsmanship!" Di Qing reminded her.

Qi Yunhe's eyes were solemn, and the hands holding the hilt of the sword did not waver in the slightest.

"One sword light cold!"

Di Qing shouted coquettishly, and immediately stabbed Qi Yunhe's chest with the long sword in her hand.

Qi Yunhe swung his hands violently, and the long sword immediately sliced ​​diagonally from bottom to top.

ding ding dong~
There was a clear sound of fighting, and the two sides fought more and more bravely, and the swords could not be retracted for a while!

The more people watched, the more nervous they became, almost their hearts were raised in their throats.

The sword movements of the two became faster and faster, and Li Canghai's palms broke out in a cold sweat involuntarily.

Qi Yunhe's martial arts were not inferior to Di Qing's, and the two sides were fighting fiercely, he was afraid that Di Qing would be injured due to a negligence.

The same goes for brothers Di Huai and Di Ying, they stared at the two men in the battle, and no one spoke, for fear of distracting Di Qing's attention.

After seeing the fierce battle between the two, Li Yu, who was drunk from drinking, broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and most of his soberness was immediately sober from Jiu Jin.

"Yunhe, let's compete and learn from each other. Don't hurt Miss Qing!" Li Yu shouted.

Li Yu's loud cry immediately distracted Qi Yunhe, he didn't notice, and the long sword in his hand was immediately knocked down.

It was too late for Di Qing to take back the sword she swung, and the sharp sword immediately cut a wound on the back of Qi Yunhe's hand.

Not only that, the long sword went directly along Qi Yunhe's arm and stabbed at his chest.

Di Qing was taken aback, she immediately forcibly reversed the sword.

Although the sharp long sword turned sideways, it still went like a rainbow, passing through Qi Yunhe's shirt in an instant.

With a snort, the clothes on Qi Yunhe's chest were cut off immediately, exposing half of his right shoulder.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Canghai's forehead, but luckily Di Qing withdrew his sword forcefully, otherwise Qi Yunhe would have died under this sharp sword.

Even if Di Qing withdrew her sword in time, a bloodstain was still drawn on Qi Yunhe's chest by the sharp blade.

Li Canghai hurried over and asked, "Housekeeper Qi, are you injured? Brother, hurry up and get the medicine!"

Di Huai was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and hurried to get the medicine.

"It's okay, thank you for your concern." Qi Yunhe casually put the cut-off clothes on his shoulders and said.

"Yunhe, are you okay?" Li Yu walked over and asked with concern.

After all, Qi Yunhe was distracted and injured because he yelled, and Li Yu felt a little sorry for him.

Qi Yunhe knelt down to Li Yu and said, "Yunhe has embarrassed the prince, please punish him!"

"What are you talking about, since you are injured, go stop the bleeding quickly!" Li Yu said.

"Your subordinate obeys orders." Qi Yunhe stood up now, bowed his head and retreated.

The moment Qi Yunhe stepped back, Li Canghai suddenly caught a glimpse of a scar the size of a finger on his shoulder.

"This person must have often fought against experts, otherwise he wouldn't have left such a big scar on his shoulder." Li Canghai guessed secretly.

Di Qing put away her weapon, like a child who has done something wrong, drooping her head, tugging at the corner of Li Canghai's clothes, and said quite aggrieved, "Canghai, I didn't mean to hurt him!"

Li Canghai patted her on the head lightly, and said with a gentle smile, "Of course I know this, but Qing'er, in future sparring, it's better to stop as soon as possible!"

Di Qing nodded heavily, and said seriously: "I know, I will be careful in the future."

"Miss Qing, are you... not... not hurt?" Li Yu hiccupped, as if drunk, and his tongue began to tremble.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't suddenly yelled, Qi Yunhe wouldn't have been distracted, and I wouldn't have hurt him, I hate it!" Di Qing wrinkled her nose and said displeasedly to Li Yu.

Li Yu giggled silly, hiccupped several times in a row, and said, "It's...it's my fault...wrong...."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly tilted his body and nearly fell to the ground.

Di Ying hurriedly supported him, but found that Li Yu was already drunk and passed out.

"Cang Hai, look at this..." Di Ying supported Li Yu and said with a wry smile.

"Let's help the prince to rest first." Li Canghai looked at the dark night sky outside, shook his head and said.

Di Ying hurriedly greeted Di Feng, and the two helped Li Yu back to the room.

"Canghai, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Li Canghai's brows were tightly furrowed and his face was full of worry, Di Qing hurriedly asked.

Li Canghai sighed, and said, "Qing'er, every time you do something, I feel terrified. I should be the one to protect you, but every time I encounter danger, it's you who protect me. I'm ashamed! "

Di Qing knew that Li Canghai was worried about her, her pretty face suddenly flushed, she held Li Canghai's hand, and said softly: "Canghai, you don't have to feel guilty! Although you are not good at martial arts, you have a seven-holed and exquisite heart , you have a meticulous mind, these are far more powerful than martial arts!"

Li Canghai smiled, he looked at the night sky outside, but did not speak.

How many times has he told himself that he does not want Di Qing or Xue Xuan to be in danger anymore, in his opinion they are the most important people to him.

But every time they encounter danger, they have to rely on them to rescue them desperately.

This is true in Luoyang, and it is also true in Zhengyang City.

When he saw his subordinates dying to protect him, Li Canghai wished he could rush forward and do his best.

He didn't care about his own life or death, what he cared about was the people around him. The reason why he asked the pine-haired puppy to bring Di Qing was not to save himself, but to those government servants.

But in the end, those yamen servants still died tragically for protecting him.

"If I have the ability to protect myself, maybe they won't die." Whenever Li Canghai thinks of this matter, he always blames himself.

He blamed himself for not knowing martial arts and not being able to protect the people around him, so he could only let them follow him into danger.

Having been with Li Canghai for a long time, Di Qing could actually see his thoughts. She took Li Canghai's hand and said, "Canghai, I know what you are thinking, but the way of martial arts does not become a master overnight."

Li Canghai sighed, and said: "Qing'er, you are really getting smarter and smarter, and you can see through my thoughts at a glance. It seems that there is really nothing I can hide from you in the future!"

Di Qing giggled, and said, "I've been with you for so long, if I don't make progress like this, how can I gain a foothold in the world in the future?"

Li Canghai reached out and patted her on the head lightly, and said with a smile, "You are the smartest in the world." After smiling, he frowned and asked, "Is there really no instant success in this world?" Law?"

Di Qing tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Yes! But... I don't know if this method will work."

"Oh? What method?" Li Canghai asked with his eyes brightened.

Di Qing hesitated for a moment, then said: "Cut the hair and wash the marrow, and move the meridians."

"What do you mean?" Li Canghai asked.

"Cutting the hair and washing the marrow is to open up the two meridians of Ren and Du in your body with a peerless magical power, and then use the strong internal force to enter your body to reshape the meridians for you. However, no one has ever tried this method." Di Qing pondered. road.

"Why?" Li Canghai was puzzled.

"Because the peerless magical skills are always difficult to practice, and after the performer transfers the internal energy into the body of the person being performed, the performer will lose all internal energy, and may even be in danger of life." Di Qing said.

Li Canghai was startled at once, this kind of technique of embedding flowers and trees in a tree has such serious consequences for the performer.

"Not only that, but the recipient of the exercise will also suffer tremendous pain when reshaping the meridians. This kind of pain is absolutely unbearable. If you don’t pass, your meridians will be cut off.” Di Qing said seriously.

Li Canghai took a deep breath, as Di Qing said, this was suicide.

"Has no one tried it?" Li Canghai asked curiously.

Di Qing shook her head, and said: "No. Let alone whether you can practice a peerless magic skill, even if you do it, who is willing to risk their lives and pass on the internal energy they have worked so hard to accumulate to others?"

Li Canghai thought about it, and thought it was true, unless he was an idiot, otherwise who would risk his life like this?
"What kind of magic skill can be called a peerless magic skill?" Li Canghai suddenly became very interested in this and asked.

"Every school in the martial arts has its own martial arts. As long as you practice Mahayana, you can count the peerless magic skills. For example, Huashan's 'Zixia Gong', Shaolin's 'Yi Jin Jing', and the 'Nanming' you gave me. Heart method', can be called peerless magic. However, these martial arts, very few people have been able to practice Mahayana."

Li Canghai touched his chin suddenly, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can't become fat with one bite, you still have to walk this way step by step!"

Di Qing saw that he looked a bit dull, so she leaned on his shoulder and said, "Cang Hai, don't worry, no matter what, I will be by your side."

Li Canghai gently stroked Di Qing's beautiful hair, and the two leaned against each other, standing in front of the door, listening to the sound of rainwater hitting the stone slabs in the yard, as if the world had quieted down.

Early the next morning, Li Canghai was still washing when he heard a knock on the door.

Li Canghai opened the door in a daze, and saw Tao Ruozhu standing in front of the door.

"Brother Tao, what did you learn so early?" Li Canghai asked, rubbing his eyes.

Tao Ruozhu took out a letter from his pocket and said, "Master, this is what my teacher asked me to give you."

Li Canghai took the envelope, opened it and looked at it, which instantly woke him up.

What was written in this letter was Luo Zhong's hermitage in Luoyang, the royal doctor 14 years ago.

He washed his face indiscriminately, and then took Tao Ruozhu to look for it according to the address written in the letter.

In Chengdong City of Luoyang, next to the White Horse Temple, there is an inconspicuous small house.

In front of the gate of the small courtyard, some medicinal residues were poured.

There is a pear tree planted in the yard. The branches of the pear tree have protruded from the low courtyard wall, and a few unripe green pears are scattered here and there.

"My lord, this is Luo Yushijia." Tao Ruozhu said.

Li Canghai nodded to him with his hands behind his back, Tao Ruozhu understood, then walked to the closed door and knocked.

After knocking several times, no one came to open the door.

Just when Li Canghai was thinking about whether to forcefully knock on the door, the wooden door creaked and opened from the inside.

A plainly dressed man came out, looked at the two suspiciously, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Tao Ruozhu clasped his fists in salute to him, and said, "May I ask if this is Luo Zhongluo Yushi's family?"

When the man heard the words, his expression changed immediately, and he waved his hands quickly: "No, no, you have found the wrong person."

With that said, the man was about to close the door.

Tao Ruozhu immediately made a move, blocked the wooden door, pointed at Li Canghai and said, "This is the current Dali Temple Zhengqing, Li Canghai, Mr. Li, who is here to visit Luo Yushi today, how could we find the wrong person?"

The man's face changed when he heard the words, but his eyes revealed a look of surprise.

Li Canghai took out the seal of Dali Temple and glanced at the man, who immediately knelt on the ground and bowed, "Caomin has seen Mr. Li."

"Get up." Li Canghai nodded, looked the man up and down, and said, "You are Luo Yushi's son? Where is Luo Yushi now?"

"Back to your lord, Luo Tong, a grassroots man, my father is not at home now." Luo Tong said with a low body.

"Aren't you at home? The medicine dregs are still steaming. It's clear that you have just boiled them out not long ago. You are in good health. Could it be that you drink this medicine?" Li Canghai's voice was not loud, but there was a sense of majesty.

Luo Tong's body suddenly trembled, and he said intermittently: "This... this medicine, is... is taken by the poor..."

"You think I'm so easy to deceive?" Li Canghai frowned, and said, "I came to Luo Yushi this time just to ask him something, why do you lie to me?"

Just then, a little girl ran out from inside.

"Daddy, grandpa let them in!" The little girl ran to Luo Tong and said.

Luo Tong was stunned for a moment, he looked back at the room, hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said to Li Canghai: "My lord, please!"

After entering the house, Li Canghai saw that although the house was small, all the furnishings were in order.

On the left side of the house is a pear tree, and under the pear tree is a small flower bed with peonies planted in it.

There are two wing rooms in the courtyard, plus a simple stove.

Luo Tong led the two of them into the main wing, and as soon as they entered the door, they smelled a strong smell of medicine.

Li Canghai glanced at the room, the furnishings in the room were extremely simple, except for a table, chairs, and a bookshelf, there was only one bed.

Li Canghai shook his head secretly, Luo Zhong is the imperial censor, even if he resigned from office and went back to seclusion, he would still have the imperial salary every month, and his life would not be so difficult.
