The one who was chased out was naturally Zhao Qiping, and when he saw Yan Li, it was like a drowning man grabbing the last straw and hurriedly hiding behind him.
Yan Li said with hatred: "Zhao Qiping, are you a man, what are you afraid of a woman, can she still eat you?"
It's not about men and women at all, it's the natural fear of the weak against the strong. Zhao Qiping couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he thought of Cangyang's punch in the Xishan camp.
"Little Brother Yan is back. Cangyang twisted the waist of the water snake and walked over, his eyes were like silk, and he picked up Yan Li's chin with his slender fingers, "Then you will come to play with my sister for a while." β
Her appearance is gorgeous, her skin is a healthy wheat color, and her whole body is full of tightness and explosive sexiness, just like a female leopard, any normal man will naturally have a desire to conquer when he sees it.
It's a pity that she is a little too tall, a whole head taller than Yan Li, so no matter how beautiful the female leopard is, the male wolf will not estrus against her.
Yan Li slapped her hand away coldly: "The disaster of the desolate clan is coming, you still just want to play." β
"What do you mean?" Cang Yang was stunned.
Yan Lijing walked past him and walked towards the hall.
Zhao Qiping hurriedly followed, and suddenly heard a transmission, he nodded imperceptibly, and after entering the house, he went straight to the backyard.
Cangyang followed behind and asked, "What happened to the Desolate Clan?"
After entering the hall, Yan Li found a place to sit down, poured himself a glass of water, and then said, "Li Rulong, you can tell her." β
"Wow. β
Li Rulong immediately said: "Lord Huaibi was killed in his own courtyard by a mysterious master who was suspected of being a desolate man, and now the Dragon Descending Legion is united in its efforts to crusade against the desolate clan and seek justice for Lord Huaibi, but Lord Engong strongly opposes it, and His Majesty ordered Lord Engong to find out the murderer within two days, otherwise he will send troops to attack." β
Cang Yang was shocked: "You said Zhang Huaibi is dead? impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible......" She said a series of impossibilities, showing that the degree of shock was really unusual.
Yan Li took a sip of water and said, "Why is it impossible?"
Cangyang said: "Father and king are not his opponents, who else in our desolate clan can kill him?
Yan Li said lightly: "It's not that I don't understand, it's that people who are blinded by hatred don't understand." β
Cangyang said: "I know. β
Yan Li said, "What do you know?"
Cangyang said: "What you have to do now is to sober up those who have been blinded by hatred. β
Yan Li said, "Why am I doing this?"
Cangyang's eyes widened: "If you don't do this, the desolate clan will be finished." β
Yan Li said: "What about the desolate clan, what does it have to do with me?"
Cangyang's face was suddenly full of resentment: "You negative man, people have handed everything over to you, but you say such things......"
Yan Li didn't speak.
Cangyang suddenly felt bored, pursed his lips, and said: "Okay, you cunning man, I promise you, until you find the truth, I will be at your disposal and not act without authorization, this is always okay, right?"
Yan Li wanted this sentence, and said: "From now on, you are not allowed to walk out of this door without my order, if someone finds you here, not only will the desolate clan be finished, but even I will be affected by you." β
"I know, I know, it's really verbose......" Cangyang suddenly laughed again after speaking, "You and Ji Tiansheng are really a natural pair, the same is so uninteresting." β
Yan Li said: "Will you have an interest in the beast?"
Cangyang's face changed, and he said angrily: "You are beating around the bush and scolding me!"
Yan Li said: "I'm just stating a fact. β
Cangyang couldn't do anything about him for a while, he suddenly became angry, snorted coldly, and said: "The time is only two days, how do you find out the truth? If you can't find out at that time, I will kill you, and then kill Rongcheng, I can't see Zhang Huaibi, who can block my way!"
Yan Li said lightly: "If I were you, I wouldn't say what I thought in my heart, and if you do this, it will be useless to investigate the case except to make your enemies vigilant." Also, there are at least two or more masters in the city who can keep you, so if you don't believe it, you can try. β
Cangyang's face changed again and again, and he said, "You said that the high priest asked you to unravel the truth about Aguba before he died, so I brought my third brother to Rongcheng." β
"Not now. Yan Lidao.
"When was that?" Cang Yang said.
"I don't know. Yan Lidao.
"Don't know?" Cang Yang glared at him angrily.
Yan Li always has a way to make a person half dead, but he is helpless: "If I knew, I would tell you directly, what did I bring you to Rongcheng for?"
Cang Yang was so angry that he almost flipped the table, and finally stomped his foot in hatred and went back to the room.
Lennon said: "My sister has a bad temper, your Excellency forgive me." β
Yan Li said: "You don't have a good temper like a desolate person. β
Lennon said, "I have the blood of the Aragami in my veins, there is no doubt about that. Dare to ask if your Excellency has an eyebrow about the murder?"
Yan Li said: "I have a question, I would like to ask you." β
"Speak. Lennon said.
Yan Li said: "Did the high priest tell you about Huo Xiu before he died?" Now he knew that the old desolate man who saved him was Tashi Dorjee.
"Huo Xiu?" said Lennon, "But the general Huo who single-handedly built Rongcheng?"
Huo Xiu was already the highest rank when he was a general, because marshal was not a military rank, but only a military position.
"Exactly. Yan Lidao.
Lennon said: "The high priest said before his death that if Huo Xiu was still alive, the Desolate Clan would only survive if they became vassals of the Empire. β
"Is there anything else?" Yan Li asked.
Lennon thought about it.
Li Rulong said with a smile: "Regarding the matter of the teacher, it is okay for Lord Engong to ask me." β
Yan Li said: "What I want to know is what his enemies think of him. β
"Brother Yan, I found a jar of wine, do you want to have a drink together and celebrate......" Zhao Qiping's voice came from the direction of the backyard.
Yan Li turned his head to look and saw him hurriedly walking in with a jar of wine.
At this moment, he was careless under his feet, and was stumbled by the threshold, and the wine jar in his hand flew out of his hand, and fell into pieces with a "snap".
It just so happened that Li Rulong was standing next to him, and most of the wine was splashed on his trouser leg. His eyes immediately became cold, and he stared at Zhao Qiping deadly.
Zhao Qiping suddenly felt a terror invade his heart, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Then Lennon spoke: "I really can't remember. β
Yan Li waved his hand and said, "If you can't think of it, forget it, I'm going out now, you stay here with Cangyang, don't run out, if someone sees you, I won't be able to protect you." β
After saying that, he got up and walked out.
"Lord Engong, it's dangerous outside, and the assassins don't know where to hide, so let me go with you. Li Rulong didn't care about the wine on his trouser leg anymore and followed.
Yan Liwei frowned, but didn't say anything.
"Lord Engong, where are we going?" asked Li Rulong as he walked.
Yan Li said: "Let's go to Zhang's Mansion first, and I want to see the corpse again." β
When the two came to Zhang's mansion, Manager Hu already knew that Yan Li was solely responsible for the murder, so he didn't dare to slack off.
"The old man liked to read the most when he was alive, so the old slave put his body in the study and waited for the funeral in a few days. Mr. Hu led the way with a lantern.
Zhang Huaibi's study is also in the courtyard where he lives.
The whole courtyard was dark, only the sound of footsteps was silent, and the white lantern in the hand of Mr. Hu reflected a miserable white light, illuminating everything around him very gloomy, as if he had come to the Yama Palace.
Yan Li suddenly smelled a special fragrance, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes fell on the doorway on the other side of the courtyard, which was a lush garden.
"Where is that?" he asked, pointing in that direction.
Mr. Hu said respectfully: "That's the camphor forest, where the old man lived before his death. β
Yan Li said: "He doesn't live here?"
Manager Hu hesitated: "Two, live on both sides." β
At this time, I came to the door of the study.
"Mr. Hu. Yan Li stood at the door of the study and didn't go in immediately, "When did you change his name to the master?"
Manager Hu was stunned, as if he couldn't react for a while, and when he understood, his lips suddenly trembled slightly, and said, "Uh...... A few years ago, when the big, big old man died......"
His eyes were a little evasive, "If there is no other command, the old slave will retire first." With that, he left.
"You're waiting for me outside. Yan Li instructed Li Rulong.
"Wow. Li Rulong should go down.
Yan Li took out the fire fold from his bosom and lit it, went to the corner of the house to light the lamp, and as soon as his vision was clear, he found that the collection of books in this study was dazzling.
Two benches were placed in front of the bookcase, and a mahogany coffin was placed on it, and when he walked over, he saw Zhang Huaibi's body, which had been changed into a piece of clothing and was lying quietly in the coffin.
Yan Li stretched out his hand and checked Zhang Huaibi's face to confirm that he was not wearing a human skin mask, and his brows furrowed again. He withdrew his hand, suddenly felt something abnormal in his fingers, rubbed it, and there was a strange touch, so he put it under his nose and sniffed, his eyes narrowed slightly, showing cold light, and a trace of anger.
He walked to the corner of the house, blew out the lantern, and walked out: "Let's go." β
"So fast?" Li Rulong was cleaning up his clothes, and hurriedly followed when he saw this, "What did Lord Engong find?"
Yan Li shook his head.
When he came outside, Li Rulong's face suddenly changed, and he hugged his stomach and said, "Well, Lord Engong, the stomach is ...... below."
Yan Li said helplessly: "You go, I'll wait for you here." β
Li ran towards the toilet like a dragon.
Yan Li walked to the pavilion and was about to sit down to think about it, when he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance again, turned his head to look at the camphor forest, and walked over with a move in his heart.
The fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, as if it is the smell of resin, and I have long smelled that camphor wood is called camphor, but I didn't expect the fragrance to be so attractive.
Yan Li entered the camphor wood, walked about a hundred steps away, and there were still camphor trees all around, and he didn't know how big this forest was.
As he walked, he suddenly felt dizzy, and couldn't help but rub his head lightly, and there seemed to be a strange sound around him, like the sound of a surging tide.
Where is this?
My body was suddenly so heavy that I couldn't move in the water.
My heart was cold, and I quickly held my breath, and the vision immediately disappeared.
The camphor forest is still a camphor forest, and there is no insect chirp in the silence around.
He walked back along the path he had come from, but stopped abruptly after walking for a while, because he noticed that the camphor trees around him seemed to be moving.
I rubbed my eyes, opened them again, but there seemed to be nothing.
Continuing on, after walking for a while, he stopped again because he was lost.
