Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 817
"Oh? You caught Tao Bai? Where is he now?" Li Canghai asked in surprise.

"Tao Bai is now tied up in the firewood room. I sealed his meridians with the 'Shadowless Needle'. He will not be able to run away. You can heal your wounds at ease!" Di Qing said.

"A few minor injuries, it's okay. Help me up, I'm going to see Tao Bai." Li Canghai said with difficulty.

Di Qing knew that Li Canghai had always been a man of the same mind, even if he didn't help him, he would go by himself, so she stopped talking, put on his clothes for him, and helped him walk towards the woodshed.

In the firewood room, Tao Bai was tied to a pillar, and beside him was a nine-foot-high copper umbrella.

"Tao Bai, let's meet again." Li Canghai said calmly.

Tao Bai snorted displeasedly, and said, "A stab in the back hurts someone, what kind of hero is he?"

Di Qing blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "You are very wrong. First of all, I am just a little girl, not a hero. Secondly, when I use hidden weapons, I have warned you! It's because you think you are strong in martial arts, and you don't care about my reminder, you can't blame me for that!"

When Tao Bai heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

When fighting in the underground palace, Di Qing definitely told him to be careful of hidden weapons.

But the first time he concentrated on dodging hidden weapons, he didn't hit any hidden weapons.

Immediately afterwards, the second time, the third time....

At first, Tao Bai was still distracted to avoid the hidden weapon, but later he realized that it was just Di Qing deliberately deceiving him.

This made him furious, and at the same time he didn't care about hidden weapons.

But who would have thought that just when he was relaxing, Di Qing actually shot the hidden weapon!
Thinking that he is also a master in crossing the Great Wall, but he never thought that he would be defeated by a woman one day, which made Tao Bai feel so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

Li Canghai said coldly: "Tao Bai, when you question others, have you ever thought about what you did? Poisoning and intimidating, is there a little chivalrous demeanor? What's even worse is that you didn't keep your promises and gave false explanations. Yao, an insidious and despicable person like you, how dare you criticize others?"

Tao Bai looked at Li Canghai in surprise, and said, "You already knew that the antidote I gave you was fake?"

Li Canghai snorted, and said lightly: "We have already removed the poison you inflicted. The reason why I asked you for the antidote is to convince you that our lives are in your hands, so that you can relax. Be vigilant. At the same time, scout the way ahead for us."

"Impossible! Wuse San is a strange poison in the Western Regions. Except for Mantuo Mountain Villa in the Western Regions, it is impossible for anyone else to have an antidote!" Tao Bai said fiercely.

Li Canghai looked at him with pity, and said indifferently: "Since you have investigated me, you must have investigated the people around me, right? But there is one person, you must not pay too much attention to it, right?"

"Who?" Tao Bai asked with a frown.

"Lv Jitong." Li Canghai squinted his eyes and said, "He is just an ordinary bodyguard, and he has always been the most mysterious 'Beautiful Dragon Secret Guard'. Apart from Gao Lishi, few people know about his past. I don’t know, he was ordered to go to Mantuo Villa to find the medicine of longevity.”

"You mean... Lu Jitong has an antidote?" Tao Bai asked solemnly.

"He doesn't have the antidote, but he is familiar with the people in Mantuo Mountain Villa. Do you remember that I asked him to go to Xianyang to buy the tools used to find the imperial tomb? In fact, he went to get the antidote." Li said. The sea is light and authentic.

"Impossible! When Lu Jitong went to Xianyang City, I sent someone to follow him secretly. How could he get the antidote?" Tao Bai exclaimed.

Li Canghai sneered and said, "You underestimate Lu Jitong too much. As a 'Beautiful Dragon Secret Guard', it's easy for him to get rid of being tracked."

Hearing this, Tao Bai sighed resentfully.

Li Canghai looked at him, and said coldly: "We Ming people don't talk dark words, An Lushan sent you to the Imperial Mausoleum, neither for the secret medicine of longevity, nor for the Daqin weapons, he sent you to see what happened." For what purpose?"

Tao Bai glanced at him, and snorted, "Li Canghai, since you know that I am here under the orders of General An, you should know what will happen if you offend General An? I'm not afraid to tell you, General An has many soldiers, Troops will rise up and invade Chang'an at any time! At that time, the whole world will be in the pocket of General An! Li Canghai, you are a smart man. With your ability, if you join General An, you will surely become a great success in the future, and your future is limitless!"

"Flying to the top? I am now the founder of the country, and I am also the official of the Dali Temple, the Prince Shaofu, etc. It can be said that I am already an extremely human minister. What benefits can he do for me? Can he still let me be the emperor? No way?" Li Canghai sneered.

Tao Bai glared at him, and said in a deep voice, "Li Canghai, you have to think about it. Going against General An will not end well!"

Li Canghai snorted and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that An Lushan's rebellion will end in failure in the end. But he will not end well!"

After a pause, Li Canghai picked up the copper umbrella and said coldly, "Don't think that if you don't open your mouth, I won't find out the secret! Hmph!"

Unhappily shaking off his sleeves, Li Canghai lifted the copper umbrella and left the firewood room.

At this time, Lu Jitong, Yan Nanfei and others who went out to look for Li Yu returned to Old Man Zhang's house.

Seeing that Li Canghai had woken up, everyone was overjoyed and gathered around to inquire.

Li Canghai told everyone about killing Yamata no Orochi and Shilong, and the resurrection of the servants, but he didn't say that Li Yu was the head of Lin.

It just means that Li Yu died in the imperial mausoleum in order to save him.

After everyone listened, they all sighed.

"My lord, what are your plans next?" Lu Jitong asked.

Li Canghai looked at the copper umbrella placed aside, and said, "The most important thing right now is to figure out Tao Bai's purpose for coming here. Since he came here for this copper umbrella, there must be a huge secret hidden in it!"

Everyone turned their attention to the copper umbrella.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Lin suddenly said, "This copper umbrella... I've seen it before."

Several people looked at her hurriedly, Li Canghai asked in surprise: "Linlin, have you really seen this copper umbrella?"

Xu Lin lowered her head and thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said: "I have indeed seen it. Back then, my father took me to the Mo family, and I saw the casting of this copper umbrella. This copper umbrella is made of gold and copper, but in the middle It is empty, and it was originally used to hide things."

"Oh? Then you might open it?" Li Canghai's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly asked.

Xu Lin hesitated, and said, "I can give it a try."

With that said, Xu Lin walked to the copper umbrella and looked carefully.

I saw Xu Lin holding the copper sunshade umbrella in her hand, and then groping around the ribs.

Several people stared at Xu Lin intently, no one spoke, and the room was quiet except for the slight sound of the machine turning.
