Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 177 Undercurrents surging
Li Longji put his hands behind his back, he looked at the fragrance in the courtyard, and sighed a long time: "Lishi, I'm already old, I can't wait too long for this matter of enshrining Zen!"

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, why do you say that you are old? If Your Majesty can't trust Cui Huan, this old servant is willing to help His Majesty solve problems." Gao Lishi knelt on the ground and said.

"Cui Huan speaks frankly and dares to remonstrate. I am very comforted. However, his ability lies in governing the country, and he may not be able to handle cases." Li Longji said, stroking his beard.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely protect Your Majesty's safety if I have this old slave here. I will order someone to go to Luoyang to solve all the hidden dangers!" Gao Lishi said in a deep voice with a murderous look in his eyes.

Li Longji pressed his hands on the railing, and the fragrance wafted down from the courtyard, and he suddenly coughed.

Gao Lishi hurriedly stood up, walked behind Li Longji and patted his back lightly.

"Lishi... Is I really old?" Li Longji asked calmly after coughing violently for a while, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

Gao Lishi forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty is in his prime, how can he be old? Didn't the imperial physician say that you are overworked?"

Li Longji waved his hand and said: "I know my body better than anyone else. I have been sitting on the throne for decades. If the Tang Dynasty can have its present prosperity, I can be regarded as worthy of my ancestors. Lishi, do you know me? What do you miss most now?"

Although Gao Lishi knew it well, he still made a thoughtful expression: "Your Majesty is worried about His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Heng'er has ministers like you serving, I am not worried. What I care most about is my concubine. I am old and weak. If I die, what should I do with my concubine?" A stunning figure seemed to appear in Li Longji's eyes , with endless sadness and reluctance on his face.

"Your Majesty, you are so blessed, how can you say that so easily!" Gao Lishi burst into tears, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, this old slave will search all over the world, and I will also find Changsheng for Your Majesty." The medicine of immortality!"

"Immortality? Those are just legends, Li Shi, I understand what you mean. What I can do now is to spend more time with my concubine in my lifetime." Li Longji sighed.

At this time, a court lady lowered her head and walked over from the corridor in front. When she saw Li Longji, the palace maid hurriedly knelt down and bowed her head, saying: "Your Majesty, the empress is hosting a banquet in the Liyuan, waiting for His Majesty to come."

Li Longji nodded, and then ordered the maid to lead the way, all the way to the Liyuan.

Gao Lishi looked at Li Longji's back and swore secretly: "Your Majesty, whether you believe it or not, this old slave will find the elixir for you."

After Gao Lishi left, he followed a young eunuch behind him and quietly walked to a side hall.

In the side hall, Yang Guozhong came out from behind the curtain. Seeing this, the little eunuch knelt down to salute.

Yang Guozhong waved his hand, and he got up to answer.

The little eunuch glanced around, then moved closer to Yang Guozhong, muttering.

After listening, Yang Guozhong frowned and said: "Can you hear clearly, what His Majesty and Gao Lishi said is related to 'Nilin Xuanwu'?"

The little eunuch nodded heavily.

Yang Guozhong took out a bag of money and stuffed it into the hands of the little eunuch. After dismissing it, he fell into deep thought.

After returning to the Yang Mansion, Yang Guozhong paced back and forth, and it took him a long time before he made a decision.

"Qi, Mei, you two should send this letter to Luoyang as soon as possible. Also, it is best to use their hands to get rid of Cui Huan!" Yang Guozhong summoned two cronies, handed the letter to them, and lowered his voice. Said.

Two people dressed in black, wearing a black robe, with only a pair of eyes exposed, without a trace of popularity, suddenly appeared beside Yang Guozhong, and after receiving the letter, they disappeared silently.

"Cui Huan, Cui Huan, you have repeatedly opposed me. If you don't leave Chang'an, I can't do anything about you. Since you left Chang'an on your own initiative, you can't blame me, hehe." Yang Guozhong squinted his eyes and laughed. up.

However, when Li Canghai woke up from a coma, he was shocked to find himself lying on a soft couch.

A slight movement touched the wound on his left chest, and he trembled from the pain.

He struggled to sit up, and at a glance, he saw that Di Qing was lying on her stomach beside the round table, propping her head on her hands, dozing off non-stop.

Li Canghai froze for a moment, he had a terrible headache, his mind seemed to be a mess, and he couldn't think of anything.

"Ah! Are you awake?" Di Qing suddenly woke up when she heard the movement. She walked quickly to the bed, hugged him and began to sob.

"Cang Hai, I thought you would never wake up again, woo woo..." Di Qing hugged him tightly, afraid that if she let go again, she would lose sight of him.

Li Canghai's heart warmed up. He stroked Di Qing's beautiful hair and said softly, "Aren't I alive now? By the way, what place is this?"

Di Qing wiped her tears, and said: "This is Zhengyang County Yamen, Canghai, what happened, how did you get hurt like this? If the dagger is a few inches higher, it will stab your heart. Who actually did it?"

Li Canghai's mind went blank. After a while, he recalled that he seemed to be blocking the Yellow River's breach. He didn't expect Wang Buquan's housekeeper to assassinate him. Afterwards, he made a dangerous move and jumped into the flood with the thought of dying together. Among them, and later he began to chisel the ship... .

"Qing'er, what's the situation of the Yellow River breach?" Thinking of what happened, Li Canghai asked nervously.

"The breach of the Yellow River has been blocked, and all that remains is to reinforce the dam and divert the flood. The Ministry of Industry has sent water conservancy officials here, so you don't have to worry about these." Di Qing looked at the wound on his left chest, and said with a pretty face. : "Your three-legged cat's kung fu, don't fight with others desperately. If Chang Feng hadn't mobilized the people to search everywhere, you would have been drowned long ago!"

Di Qing's tone was cold, but her words revealed concern. Her almond eyes were reddish, and the tears that had just been wiped away almost fell again.

Li Canghai scratched his head, he grinned and said, "Qing'er, you don't know, the situation was urgent at that time, and I could only fight to the death. Otherwise, if the flood broke through the dam, the whole Zhengyang City would become Zeguo."

"Then have you ever thought about me? If you die, what will I do?" Di Qing said with red eyes and her pink lips clenched.

Li Canghai stroked her hair, and said seriously: "Qing'er, in this world, you have to do what you don't do, and you have to do what you have to do. This is my responsibility. If I can save the lives of the people in the city, even if I die, I'm worth it too." After a pause, he suddenly kissed Di Qing's forehead, and said in a deep voice, "Besides, you are still in the city, I want to save the lives of the people, and I want to save your lives even more."

Di Qing was already in tears. She looked at Li Canghai and sobbed, "Canghai, do you still remember what I said in the Underworld Palace? You die, I die. You live, I live. In this life, no matter where you go Wherever you are, I will accompany you."
