Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 818 The Thief of Darkness
Xu Lin turned the umbrella with full concentration, and a thin layer of sweat gradually rose on her forehead.

Half an hour later, there was only a soft bang, and a gap suddenly appeared on the umbrella post of the copper umbrella.

Xu Lin let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from her forehead, opened the gap, took out a piece of cloth from the umbrella post, and handed it to Li Canghai.

Li Canghai took the cloth, spread it out and looked at it carefully, his face instantly became serious.

"Cang Hai, what is this?" Seeing his abnormal expression, Di Qing asked in puzzlement.

Li Canghai looked around, lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "This is the 'Nine Heavens Smelting Technique', which was written by a military strategist among hundreds of schools of thought. It records in detail the methods of smelting weapons and ores they provided to Daqin back then. Distribution."

Di Qing blinked her eyes, and suddenly said: "I understand, the reason why Tao Bai didn't carry those weapons, so his purpose is this 'Nine Heavens Smelting Technique'."

Li Canghai nodded: "That's right. Although there are many weapons in the Great Qin Military Mansion, they cannot move them out of the underground palace on a large scale due to the time limit and the number of people. But the 'Nine Heavens Smelting Technique' is different. As long as they get this item , you can forge it by yourself according to the information on it. It seems that An Lushan can't stand it anymore."

When everyone heard this, their expressions became serious.

Although Xu Lin and the others didn't quite understand the meaning of his words, they also knew that the world would surely fall into war just like the end of Qin Dynasty.

"Cang Hai, what are your plans?" Di Qing asked.

Li Canghai thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "It's getting late today, and Tao Bai will be escorted back to Chang'an tomorrow. An Lushan's intention of treason has been revealed, but the Holy One is still kept in the dark by him, so Tao Bai can only be escorted to Chang'an." To Chang'an, you can attract the attention of the Holy One!"

Xu Lin said: "Brother Li, we will go with you! If there is any need for help, we will definitely do our best!"

Li Canghai hesitated for a moment, and said, "Linlin, you are originally from outside the country, so there is no need to be caught in the chaos of war. The world is about to be chaotic, so you should return to Penglai as soon as possible."

Xu Lin became anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Brother Li, we have come to the Central Plains this time, and we don't plan to go back, just let us follow you!"

Yan Nanfei also nodded and said: "Brother Li, what Linlin said is exactly what we think in our hearts. We have lived an ordinary life for hundreds of years, and we are thinking about going back to the Central Plains every day and night. Now, we The body has returned to normal, and there is absolutely no reason to return. Besides, the world is about to fall into war, and we want to do our part for the people of the world."

"Brother Li, let us follow you!" Xu Lin said sincerely.

Li Canghai frowned suddenly.

As survivors of the Qin Dynasty, they lived a peaceful and natural life, but if they were involved in a war, it would definitely be a disaster rather than a blessing for them.

Seemingly worried that Li Canghai would reject them, Xu Lin hurriedly said: "Brother Li, although our martial arts are low, we have a chivalrous heart. If we can follow you and save the people of the world, it will not be in vain that we have lived for more than a hundred years!" "

"Cang Hai, just promise them!" Di Qing also said.

Li Canghai looked at their sincere eyes, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "If that's the case, then I promise you all."

"Really? Great!" Xu Lin said excitedly.

Li Canghai sighed, and said, "It's getting late, you guys should go to bed earlier! We'll be going tomorrow morning!"

Xu Lin and the others nodded, and then returned to their residences.

In the guest room, soon there were only Li Canghai and Di Qing left.

"Qing'er, you should go back to rest earlier, my body is fine." Li Canghai said.

Di Qing helped Li Canghai onto the bed, covered him with a quilt, shook her head and said, "You have many scars on your body, I want to stay here with you."

Li Canghai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm really fine. What's more, with Ji Tong guarding the door, I'll be fine."

"Lu Jitong still needs to guard Tao Bai, so how can he take care of you? Just wait, I'll make medicine for you. After drinking the medicine, you can have a good sleep." Di Qing said, and left the room.

While Di Qing was brewing the medicine, a masked man in black suddenly rushed into the room, and captured Li Canghai with lightning strikes.

"Who are you?" Li Canghai asked in shock.

The man in black didn't speak, but directly touched his acupoints, stretched out his hand and turned over on him.

After a while, the man in black found a palm-sized wooden box from him. After opening it and looking at it, he stuffed it into his arms with satisfaction.

"Boy, thank you for finding this thing for me. As a reward, I will let you die a little easier!" The man in black laughed twice in a low voice, then waved his palm at Li Canghai's forehead and slapped Li Canghai fiercely. Shot over.

At the very moment, a porcelain bowl flew from the door and threw it at the man in black.

The man in black sensed the sound of the wind breaking behind him, turned around immediately, and slapped him with a wave of his palm.

There was a clang, and the porcelain bowl was slammed to the ground.

"Bold thief, how dare you assassinate Cang Hai? Take your life!" Di Qing shouted softly, her figure suddenly swayed, and she appeared next to the man in black in an instant, and began to fight with him.

The two sides came and went, and dozens of moves were passed in an instant.

The man in black moves strangely, viciously and viciously, and every blow is fatal.

Di Qing's body is elegant, her palms are flying like a butterfly in a flower, graceful and unrestrained.

The two fought dozens of moves. Di Qing tore off the mask on the man in black with a swipe of her hand with her brisk movement.

However, Di Qing was astonished by that person's face.

This man in black is none other than Old Man Zhang!

The old man Zhang's eyes froze, taking advantage of Di Qing's astonishment, he practiced his profound arts silently, and suddenly slapped Di Qing hard on the shoulder with an icy cold air.

Di Qing let out a muffled groan, opened her mouth to spit out a piece of blood, groaned, and fell to the ground immediately.

At this time, Lu Jitong, who was guarding Tao Bai in the firewood room, heard the movement and hurried over.

Seeing this, the old man Zhang raised his right hand, waved a hidden weapon to stop Lu Jitong, then jumped over the wall and disappeared into the night.

Lu Jitong dodged the hidden weapon and was about to go after the old man Zhang, but when he heard Li Canghai's exclamation, he rushed into the house.

When I came to the house, I saw Di Qing lying on the ground with a pale face, blood on the corner of her mouth, and her breath was extremely weak.

While Li Canghai was lying on the bed, with tears in his eyes, he yelled desperately: "Save Qinger! Save Qinger!"

Lu Jitong hurriedly carried Di Qing to the bed, and stretched out his hand to undo the acupuncture points on Li Canghai's body.

Li Canghai hurriedly got up, held Di Qing's hand tightly, and said eagerly, "Qing'er, how are you?"

Di Qing's face was pale. She opened her eyes, looked at Li Canghai, and said with difficulty, "Canghai... I, I'm fine... cough cough..."
