Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 608 Whereabouts of the Golden Toad Sword

Li Canghai closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brows vigorously. He really couldn't think of any reason, so he said to himself, "Could it be that I'm overthinking again?"

"Sir, let's go and see the eldest prince, maybe we can ask him something." Li Yu said.

Li Canghai nodded, and then let Qi Yunhe push him, and together with Li Yu, they went to the room where the eldest prince lived.

In the room, the eldest prince was lying on the bed with a bloodless face, his left wrist was bandaged.

The second prince and the third prince are guarding the room.

Seeing Li Canghai and others coming in, the two hurriedly got up and saluted.

Li Canghai waved his hand and asked with concern, "How is Xitai?"

"Brother Wang intended to commit suicide by slitting his wrist, but fortunately he didn't cut an artery, he just passed out due to excessive bleeding." The second prince Xiyuan sighed.

"Uncle Wang, didn't you say that there is no curse to kill people in this world? But elder brother... is he cursed?" The third prince Xizhen said tremblingly.

Even the second prince Xiyuan looked puzzled.

"Xiyuan, do you also think that Xitai was cursed?" Li Canghai asked.

The second prince looked astonished and puzzled, he shook his head blankly, frowned and said: "My nephew doesn't believe that there are curses to kill people... But last night, the elder brother suddenly went crazy, and became infinitely powerful, and the legendary Golden Toad Sword The curse is very similar. Even, it is exactly the same as the death of the father..., my nephew doesn't know whether to believe it or not."

Li Canghai turned to ask the third prince, "Xizhen, do you think so?"

The third prince Xizhen bit her lip and nodded hesitantly.

Li Canghai thought for a while and asked, "Where is the Golden Toad Sword?"

The two shook their heads at the same time, and said: "The Golden Toad Sword is missing, maybe it was thrown away by Brother Wang."

While talking, the eldest prince Xitai suddenly coughed with difficulty, he opened his eyes vigorously, looked at the crowd, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

"Wang... Uncle Wang, why are you here? I... What's wrong with me?" The eldest prince asked with difficulty.

The second prince and the third prince immediately looked at each other in dismay.

"Brother Wang, don't you know what happened before?" The third prince approached and asked.

The eldest prince struggled to raise his right hand and beat his head, saying: "My head hurts so much, I just remember that I seemed to faint, and after that... I don't have the memory anymore. What's wrong with my hand?"

"Brother Wang, you took away the Golden Toad Sword and became possessed by a curse. You seemed to be a different person. You set fire to a side hall of Jingyang Palace, and even attempted to commit suicide by cutting your wrists. Fortunately, you were found by me and the second brother. Come on, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" The third prince hurriedly walked to the bed, supported him, and said with concern.

"What? I... I took the Golden Toad Sword?" The eldest prince was stunned when he heard this.

"This...how is this possible? How could I get the Golden Toad Sword? What's going on? My head hurts!" The eldest prince beat his head desperately, looking extremely painful.

Li Canghai frowned slightly, and said: "Xitai, you are taking care of your wounds, and put aside other matters for now. I will find out about the Golden Toad Sword."

"Uncle Wang..., am I really possessed by a curse?" The eldest prince stared at Li Canghai and asked anxiously.

Li Canghai glanced at him and said, "I can only tell you that you have indeed undergone astonishing changes, but whether you are possessed by a curse or not, I need to find out before making a conclusion."

"Xiyuan, stay and take care of Xitai. Xizhen, come out with me." After speaking, Li Canghai led several people out of the room.

"Uncle Wang, what order do you have for calling your nephew out?" The third prince asked respectfully when he came outside the door.

"Send someone to look for the Golden Toad Sword immediately, and take me to Xitai's residence to have a look." Li Canghai said.

The third prince nodded and said: "Uncle Wang, I will take you to Brother Wang's residence right away."

The East Garden of the Palace is a place exclusively for princes to live in.

In this Dongyuan, each of them has their own mansion.

The third prince brought Li Canghai and others to the mansion of the eldest prince Dongyuan.

In the mansion of the eldest prince, there are swords, guns, swords and halberds, as well as some weapons for training.

Apart from these, the Grand Prince doesn't seem to be anything special.

Even the room he lives in is like an ordinary martial arts practitioner, with extremely simple furnishings.

"Sir, do you suspect that the Golden Toad Sword is in the eldest prince's room?" Li Yu looked at the room, and then searched inside.

After a while, he frowned and said out of breath, "Strange, there are quite a few swords in this room, but there is no Golden Toad Sword?"

"I didn't say that the Golden Toad Sword is here, and the Golden Toad Sword will not appear here." Li Canghai said calmly.

"Why?" Li Yu asked suspiciously.

"Xi Tai hasn't been back since last night, how could the Golden Chan Sword be here?" Li Canghai said.

"Sir, since the Golden Toad Sword is not here, what are you doing here?" Li Yu asked confusedly.

Li Canghai shrugged and said, "Just curious."

"..." Li Yu was speechless for a while.

"Uncle Wang, didn't you come to investigate Brother Wang?" The third prince asked in surprise.

Li Canghai sighed, shook his head and said, "Xitai likes to collect weapons, so it's inevitable that he will be tempted by such sharp weapons as the Golden Toad Sword. Apart from that, there is nothing wrong with him."

"Uncle Wang, what are you going to do next?" The third prince asked after thinking about it.

When everyone left the eldest prince's residence, Li Canghai looked up to the right and said, "Xizhen, where is Xiyuan's residence?"

The third prince nodded and said: "The three-story attic over there is the second brother's residence."

"Take me to take a look. As an uncle, I don't even know where my nephew lives. It's a bit ridiculous." Li Canghai smiled and said self-deprecatingly.

Li Yu rubbed the bridge of his nose and looked at Li Canghai suspiciously. He didn't know what the hell he was doing. At this time, he still had the mind to wander around, which really puzzled Li Yu.

The third prince was also a little puzzled, he looked at Li Canghai, nodded and said: "The nephew is taking Uncle Wang to the mansions of the brothers and brothers."

After saying that, the third prince led the way and led a few people towards the mansion of the second prince Xiyuan.

Unlike the eldest prince Xitai, Xiyuan's room is stacked with various bamboo slips and books.

Li Canghai casually flipped through those books and found that many of them were about strategies for governing the country and keeping the people safe.

"It seems that the second prince is a studious person!" Looking at the books in the room, Li Yu said with emotion.

Li Canghai looked at some ideas about people's livelihood and society written by the second prince on the desktop, and nodded secretly in his heart.
