Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 767 Set off again
Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi approvingly, nodded and said, "Yes, I have been harsh on Li Canghai during this time. The reason why I did this is actually to test Li Canghai's ability."

Gao Lishi was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't expect Li Longji to admit it so simply.

"Your Majesty wants to take this opportunity to see whether Li Canghai has the ability to find the elixir of life?" Gao Lishi asked cautiously.

Li Longji nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "Yes. Although Li Canghai can solve the case, I have never seen it with my own eyes. The search for the elixir of life is of great importance. I must not trust anyone else!"

"But if Li Canghai failed to find out the truth of the three things within two days, would His Majesty really want to kill him?" Gao Lishi asked cautiously.

"You are not joking. If he fails to find out the truth, he has betrayed my trust. What's the use of keeping him?" Li Longji said in a serious tone with cold eyes.

Gao Lishi remained silent, and after a while, he cautiously said: "Your Majesty, what are your plans next?"

Li Longji bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then said leisurely: "Li Canghai has rested long enough, it's time for him to do real things."

After a pause, Li Longji said, "Lishi, draw up an order immediately to let Li Canghai set off tomorrow to find the elixir of life."

"I'll do it now, old slave!" Gao Lishi left the palace after saying that.

The next day, early morning.

Under the escort of Lu Jitong, Li Canghai and Di Qing left the mansion and headed straight for the Zhicheng Gate.

After solving Han Qu's matter yesterday, Li Canghai knew that Li Longji would definitely let him find the elixir of life.

It's just that I didn't expect that the imperial decree would come so quickly.

That night, Gao Lishi personally brought the imperial decree to Li Canghai's home, asking him to set off early tomorrow morning to find the elixir of life.

Li Canghai went to Dali Temple overnight, and entrusted all the affairs to Zhou Feiyan, the young minister of Dali Temple, and told him to ask Cui Huan, Minister of Rites, and Gao Luochuan, Minister of Punishment, for advice when encountering difficult matters.

Afterwards, he went to Jianning Prince's Mansion again, and talked with Jianning King Li Tan for an hour at night before returning to the mansion to rest.

After waking up, Li Canghai ordered Ben Boerba and Baboerben to stay and protect Lin Xiaomei and Huahua.

After that, the three of them packed up their things, packed lightly, and prepared to leave Chang'an City in the dim night.

The gates of Chang'an City are closed at night and will not open until Yinshi.

The three of Li Canghai rushed to the gate of the city under cover of night, as if leaving the city in a deceptive way.

But when he reached Zhicheng Gate, Li Canghai found a gorgeous carriage stopped in the middle of the road.

Just when several people were wondering, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted, and a face that the three of them were very familiar with was revealed from inside.

This person has a greasy face, red lips and white teeth. It can be said that he is very handsome, but he always has a cynical smile on his face. This person is none other than Su Wang Li Yu.

"My lord? Why are you here so early in the morning?" Li Canghai suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, so he rubbed his nose and asked.

Li Yu blinked a few times, jumped out of the carriage, and said with a grin: "Sir, why do you ask knowingly? I have been waiting for you here for an hour! Oh, it's getting late, let's go Get out of town now!"

Di Qing rolled her eyes and said, "Hey, do you know what we are going to do? Are you going with us?"

"Hey, look at what Qingmei said, how could I not know your purpose? Aren't you just going to find longevity..."

"My lord! This is a confidential matter, how can you talk nonsense?" Li Canghai hastily interrupted him, and made a booing gesture to him.

However, Li Yu had an indifferent expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Sir, if you don't take me with you, I can't guarantee that this matter will spread throughout Chang'an City after dawn!"

"You are also a descendant of the royal family, how can you be such a rascal?" Di Qing said angrily.

"Miss Qing, I beg you. This Chang'an city is too boring. Why don't you take me there for such a fun thing? We have a lifelong friendship! Don't you have the heart to see me miserable in Chang'an alone?" Is it in the city?" Li Yu said in a very sad tone.

Listening to his words, Di Qing shuddered suddenly, and said contemptuously: "It's a pity that you are still a majestic King Su, and your words are so nasty, I'm going to throw up!"

"Sir, just let me follow you! I promise, I will be honest and not cause any trouble along the way!" Li Yu said seriously.

Li Canghai rubbed the center of his brows with some headaches. This time, he was looking for the elixir of life, not a trip to the mountains. No one could predict what kind of dangerous things he would encounter on the way.

Li Yu doesn't know martial arts, so taking him with him is simply a burden.

But if you don't take him with you, if he really spreads the matter, it will be troublesome.

After thinking about it, Li Canghai could only sigh, thinking it would be safer to bring him along.

After all, the less people know about the elixir of life, the better.

Otherwise, it would be bad if it caused the coveting of countless people.

"My lord, this is what you said. I can agree to take you to go together, but you have to listen to my arrangements for everything along the way." Li Canghai said.

Li Yu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he nodded excitedly: "As long as the master agrees to take me with you, I will listen to your arrangements for everything!"

Li Canghai nodded, looked up at the hazy night sky, and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go!"

Li Yu let out an excited cry, and immediately climbed into the carriage.

But at this time, another embarrassing thing happened.

When Li Yu came, he drove away all the guards and servants, and there was no driver in the carriage.

In desperation, Lu Jitong had no choice but to act as a coachman.

Then, in the dim night, a carriage and two fast horses left Chang'an City and disappeared into the night.

After leaving Chang'an, the few people ran non-stop for nearly a hundred miles, and did not come to a town called Fufeng Town to rest until noon.

Fufeng Town is just a small town, not very big.But there are all kinds of lanterns hanging all over the town, which looks very festive.

Several people found an inn and walked in.

This inn is not big, there are only a few tables and chairs inside, the shopkeeper is an old man, standing behind the counter to check the books.

Other than that, there was only one guy sleeping soundly on the table.

"A few guest officers are invited, but the greetings are not good, and I hope some of them will forgive me. I don't know if they are on the tip or staying in the store?" Seeing several people, the shopkeeper hurriedly came out from behind the counter, raised his foot, and walked towards the shop. The guy kicked hard on the ass, and asked with a smile on his face.
