Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 716

"My lord, what are your orders?" Zhou Feiyan asked with cupped hands.

Li Canghai walked up to him, said a few words to him, Zhou Feiyan nodded, and left Dali Temple.

Not long after, the guard led an old man in.

Seeing Li Canghai, the old man hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "My lord, I was ordered by King Su to come here to deliver wedding invitations to my lord, my lord must go to the palace to attend the banquet in the evening."

"Going to a banquet? What kind of banquet?" Li Canghai took the post and asked in confusion.

"Return to my lord, my lord is very happy to have Lin Zi, so I have invited all my lords to have a banquet, please be sure to go." The old man bowed.

Li Canghai was quite surprised and said: "Could it be that the prince has no heirs yet?"

The old man smiled wryly and shook his head: "I don't know, my lord is very playful. Although there are many wives and concubines, he has not yet had any heirs. Today, the princess was diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician and confirmed to be pregnant. The lord was very happy, so he set up a The banquet invites all officials to have fun."

Li Canghai nodded, and said: "For such a happy event, I should go there by myself, so go ahead."

"Farewell, little one." The old man bowed his hands to Li Canghai and left Dali Temple.

Li Canghai looked at the wedding invitation, although he was a little confused, but he was still happy for Li Yu.

After thinking about it, Li Canghai wrote a letter and asked a yamen servant to bring a note back to the mansion and hand it to the housekeeper, asking him to prepare some gifts, and when it was getting late, they went to Su Wang's mansion together.

When Li Canghai was busy thinking about the tragedy of old man Bai, in the dense forest outside Chang'an City, a monk wearing a bamboo hat was walking step by step with a Zen stick in his hand.

Not far behind the monk, several businessmen pushed their carriages forward slowly.

"Brother Kun, do you think this bald donkey has already spotted us?" A slightly shorter man on horseback asked in a low voice.

"Probably not? We are just traveling merchants now, and we haven't exposed any flaws. What are we afraid of?" Another burly man said while rubbing his chin.

"Of course I'm not afraid, I'm just worried," said the dwarf.

"What's there to worry about? We've seen him come out from the palace, and he's still alone until now." said the burly man.

"You haven't fought Li Canghai before, so you don't know how powerful he is. What if this is a trap?" the short man said worriedly.

The burly man squinted at him and said, "I think you were scared by Li Canghai? I don't believe that Li Canghai has three heads and six arms. Besides, we are here to invite this bald donkey, so there is nothing to worry about." of?"

The dwarf rolled his eyes and said, "With your tone, do you still want to invite someone?"

The man waved his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "I, Cheng Kun, haven't been able to invite the person I want to invite. If he is not willing, I will tie him up!" Having said that, he turned to look at the air alone. Wilderness, said: "I think it's time to do something, bring this bald donkey back as soon as possible, Ah He is still waiting for us!"

The dwarf nodded, and the group speeded up immediately.

Several people rushed to catch up with the monk and blocked the monk's way.

"Baldy donkey, there are two roads in front of you. One is to follow us honestly, and the other is to tie you up and take you away after a beating. Which road do you choose?" Cheng Kun rode on the horse. On his back, he didn't have any wordy words, pointing at the monk and shouted straight to the point.

The monk stopped without saying a word.

"It seems that you chose the second way! Then don't blame our brothers for being rude! Someone, tie up this bald donkey for me!" Cheng Kun gave an order, and several strong men immediately drew out their weapons , and surrounded the monks.

"Amitabha, I don't know why some benefactors blocked the poor monk's way?" The monk clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's mantra with a very calm tone.

Hearing the monk's words, the dwarf was taken aback and wondered secretly, everyone said that the monk and his party were old monks who were dying, how could they speak in such a young voice?

He rolled his eyeballs, and immediately understood, he hurriedly shouted: "No! We have been fooled! He is not a monk at all!"

Cheng Kun was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly asked, "Who is he if he is not a monk?"

"Amitabha, the little monk's Dharma name is Huiguang, and he is not a great master." The monk raised his head slowly and spoke calmly.

"Damn it! We have been fooled by Li Canghai!" The dwarf immediately understood and cursed bitterly.

Cheng Kun was also taken aback, and asked, "What's going on?"

The dwarf's face was gloomy, and he frowned and said: "The monk and his party never left the palace, this person is just a decoy!"

After a pause, the dwarf's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in shock: "No! Master Lin is in danger!"

"Damn it! Why don't you kill him quickly and go back to save Lord Lin!" Cheng Kun roared, jumped up from the horse, and went straight to Huiguang.

"kill!"

There was a shout of killing, and several people killed Monk Huiguang at the same time.

Monk Huiguang recited the Buddha's name in a low voice, swung his Zen stick in his hand, and fought with the crowd.

The crowd fought for a stick of incense, not only failed to capture Huiguang, but were wounded by Huiguang, which surprised Cheng Kun and the dwarf.

"Good monk, you have such abilities at such a young age, I underestimate you, look at the trick!" Cheng Kun snarled, raised his hand and swung a sharp knife, slashing at Huiguang diagonally.

Huiguang didn't answer, and danced the Zen stick tightly, blocking more than ten domineering sword techniques from Cheng Kun in succession.

However, Cheng Kun's skills were profound after all, and after Huiguang blocked dozens of knives in a row, he gradually lost his strength.

Dodging the fatal knife, Huiguang hurriedly took out a loud arrow from his sleeve and fired it at the sky.

With a bang, the arrow blasted a gorgeous firework in the air.

Seeing this, the dwarf's heart sank immediately, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Kun, the other party has support, what a joke!"

Hearing this, Cheng Kun turned his head to look in the direction of Chang'an City, and sure enough, he saw a group of people rushing towards him.

"Damn it! Brothers, shit!" Cheng Kun cursed bitterly, then got on his horse and rushed into the dense forest with a few people, disappearing without a trace.

After half a cup of tea, a team of Jianning Tiewei rushed to Huiguang.

"Master, are you all right?" the leader jumped off the horse and asked with cupped hands.

Hui Guang shook his head and said, "The poor monk is fine, so hurry up and tell Benefactor Li about it!"

The iron guard nodded, and ordered someone to bring a horse, Hui Guang got on the horse, and everyone returned to Chang'an immediately.

In Dali Temple, Li Canghai was still thinking about the murder of the Bai family.

Knowing that Huiguang was coming, Li Canghai rushed to meet him.

"Master, is everything okay?" Li Canghai clasped his fists at Huiguang and asked.

Huiguang clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Thank you benefactor for your concern, the poor monk is well."

"How's the situation?" Li Canghai looked him up and down, saw that he was not injured, and asked with a smile.
