Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 801 Intimidation

The young man in the lead was holding a jug of wine and was admiring the snow in front of the door. When he saw a few people passing by, he stood up and said loudly: "Brother, let's meet again! Meeting is a fate, why don't you come and have a drink?" how?"

Li Canghai glanced at him, then smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I'll stop bothering you later."

After speaking, Li Canghai walked in.

Li Yu and Di Qing looked at each other for a while, not understanding why Li Canghai would drink with a stranger.

But since Li Canghai walked into the temple, they had no choice but to follow.

There is a fire in the temple, and an iron pot is placed on the fire, and meat is gurgling in it.

The strong aroma of meat permeates the entire Jiangjun Temple, making people salivate.

The young man invited them to sit down, and asked them to bring some steaming bowls of meat, and said with a smile, "You are welcome, this is the mutton I brought from beyond the Great Wall, how do you taste it?"

Li Canghai took out the dagger, inserted a piece, and chewed it in his mouth.

A strong meaty aroma flowed from the tip of his tongue to his heart, which made him feel much more comfortable.

"Good meat!" Li Canghai praised.

The young man smiled and said, "I'm Tao Bai, I don't know how to call you brother?"

"Li Canghai. I wonder what clan Brother Tao is from?" Li Canghai asked.

Tao Bai said: "I am a member of the Huihe tribe."

"Brother Tao has an extraordinary appearance. He must be a member of the Huihe clan, but he still leads a team of merchants himself. I admire, admire!" Li Canghai said with narrowed eyes.

Tao Bai didn't deny it, he smiled lightly and said, "Brother Li laughed, but this is actually the first time I've led a team to the Tang Dynasty to do business. I originally wanted to take these furs to Chang'an and exchange some silk tea leaves." , did not expect to be trapped by heavy snow, ashamed, ashamed!"

"As the saying goes, there are unpredictable things in the sky. This blizzard came so suddenly that no one could predict it." Li Canghai said.

Tao Bai laughed and said, "However, this time it was a blessing in disguise. Meeting Brother Li was a worthwhile trip."

Li Canghai stared at him for a moment, then said, "Brother Tao, how do you know that meeting me will be a blessing instead of a disaster?"

As soon as these words came out, Tao Bai couldn't help being taken aback.

After a while, he calmly said: "It's a blessing, not a disaster. A disaster can't be avoided. If you meet Brother Li, a disaster will definitely happen, then I will admit it."

Li Canghai also suddenly laughed: "Brother Tao is really kind-hearted, but as the saying goes, 'There is no such thing as good or bad luck, only people call themselves', Brother Tao has an extraordinary appearance and a dignified appearance. This trip to this muddy water?"

Tao Bai was slightly taken aback, staring at Li Canghai and said, "Brother Li, there seems to be something in your words?"

Li Canghai stood up, and he glanced around with his hands behind his back.

Although the surrounding caravan guards rested separately, their eyes were always looking in Tao Bai's direction.

Li Canghai smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Tao, we wise people don't talk dark words. I know you are here to look for Qinhuang's Mausoleum, but Qinhuangdao's Mausoleum is my treasure of China, how can we allow foreigners to covet it?"

When the guards heard this, they drew out their weapons one after another, and quickly surrounded the four of Li Canghai.

Seeing this, Di Qing and Lu Jitong quickly drew out their weapons, guarded Li Yu behind them, and stared at the guards cautiously.

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense, and it seemed that they would fight at any time because of a disagreement.

Tao Bai looked at Li Canghai with great interest, and said in admiration, "It is said that Li Canghai, the 'Shenduan' of the Tang Dynasty, was born with a discerning eye, and nothing can be hidden from his discerning eye. Seeing him today really deserves his reputation."

Tao Bai waved his hand, made the guards back down, looked at Li Canghai and said, "I'm curious, how did you see through the purpose of my trip?"

Li Canghai opened his mouth, and slowly spit out two words: "Guess."

Tao Bai was stunned for a moment, he looked at Li Canghai suspiciously, frowned and said, "You think I will believe what you say?"

Li Canghai said indifferently: "Believe it or not, but if you want to get your hands on Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, I advise you to stop as soon as possible."

Only Li Canghai knew why he knew the other party's intentions.

In the search for the elixir of life, it seemed that only he was looking for it.

However, at least three forces are secretly watching his whereabouts closely.

In order to verify what he thought in his mind, he deliberately walked around for a few days before arriving at Shouling Village at the foot of Lishan Mountain.

And the next day, Tao Bai and others came here pretending to be merchants, this is no coincidence.

Seeing that Li Canghai saw through his identity, Tao Bai simply didn't deny it any more, and said with a cold smile, "You are indeed powerful, and there are very few people who can see through me at a glance. If you want me to give up the purpose of this trip, then you have underestimated me too much."

Li Canghai frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Who's subordinate are you?"

Tao Bai looked cold, and said indifferently: "Since you are so smart, why don't you guess it yourself?"

Li Canghai glanced at him, frowned and said, "Is your master's surname An?"

Tao Bai didn't admit it or deny it. He looked at his slender palm over and over again, and said with a smile, "Brother Li, who subordinates me, and what does it matter? The important thing is that you and I work together to find the Qinhuangling. There are countless treasures in the treasure, and all the treasures will be shared equally between you and me, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Li Canghai stared at him, and said coldly: "Are you so sure that I will cooperate with you?"

Tao Bai giggled and said, "You will definitely agree. Unless, you all want to die."

"What do you mean by that?" Li Canghai said coldly.

Tao Bai shrugged his shoulders, and said leisurely: "Just now, all the meat you ate was poisoned with the strange poison of the Western Regions 'Wushu San'. If you want to survive, you have to cooperate with me obediently, otherwise, after five days, there will be no antidote." , you will rot until you die.”

Hearing the word 'five colors scattered', Lu Jitong's expression turned ugly instantly. He hurriedly stretched out his left hand, and sure enough, he found a cyan mark on the wrist of his left hand.

"Brother Lu, what's the matter?" Li Canghai hurriedly asked seeing his strange expression.

Lu Jitong said with a pale face: "My lord, we are indeed poisoned. This 'five-color powder' is a strange poison in the Western Regions. It has one color every day. After the five colors pass, you will die from the poison. The medicine will not work!"

Hearing this, Li Yu hurriedly looked at his wrist.

After he saw the blue mark on his wrist, he suddenly became distraught and almost sat down on the ground.

Tao Bai looked at them with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "As long as you and I cooperate, after entering the imperial tomb, I will give you the antidote."

Li Canghai clenched his fists and stared at him furiously, wishing he could chop Tao Bai to death with his sword.

But as he said, their lives are in Tao Bai's hands, no matter how angry they are, they can only endure it.

"Okay, I promise you! But I have something to say first, if you don't give me the antidote after entering the imperial tomb, don't blame me for being rude!" Li Canghai said in a cold voice.
