Chapter 60: Suspicious!

Chapter 60: Suspicious!

The second time he came to the Phantom Mansion, Li Yiqi did not go to the main gate, but walked into a courtyard in the inner courtyard of the Phantom Mansion through the back door with Tang Qi.

"Tang Qi, have there always been so many Hu people in this Fantasy Mansion?" Li Yiqi turned his eyes around, and when he saw that there were many Hu people in the courtyard, he couldn't help but ask.

"No, these are the princess's attendants. Tang Qi replied in a low voice.

While the two were talking, they were walking in the direction of the courtyard, and a Hu man walked quickly, he was wearing clothes with obvious characteristics of the Western Regions, and walked quickly in front of the two, his face was extremely excited, and he opened his mouth to say a lot.

“...... It's you!"

Li Yiqi paused, looked up at him, and found that this Hu man was somewhat familiar.

He thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that this person was one of the two Hu people who stopped at the gate of the Li Mansion when he accompanied Qi'er out of the city a few days ago.

“#¥%......&**”

When the Hu man saw Tang Qi, he first bowed again and again, and then turned his eyes to Li Yiqi, his expression was excited, his face flushed, and his speech speed became faster and faster, making the latter only feel a noise in his ears.

Li Yiqi raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party puzzled: "What are you talking about?

He said...... Save their princess. A voice came from his ear, and Li Yiqi looked back, and his eyes were about to pop out. The person who spoke was none other than Tang Qi.

"You...... Do you understand what they're talking about?" Li Yiqi looked at Tang Qi in surprise.

This kid understands the Sanskrit language of the Western Regions?

"In the past few days, I have found a few Hu businessmen and learned two sentences. Tang Qi waved his hand disappreciatively, but there was a hint of triumph in his tone.

Li Yiqi recalled what the disciple of the family who met at the banquet said that Tang Qi had been staying in the mansion and messing around with a group of Hu people for the past few days, and finally reacted, with a hint of anger on his face.

"Tang Gongzi, he ......" Hu Ren pointed at Li Yiqi and said to Tang Qi in Sanskrit.

"Don't talk nonsense, I brought the people, how about the princess?" Tang Qi also replied in Sanskrit, which was quite fluent.

“......”

After half a ring, Tang Qifang turned his head and said to Li Yiqi: "This person's name is Balu, he is the princess's servant, he said that the princess is in the room, the situation is very bad, the grain of rice has not been eaten in the past few days, and the dripping water has not been stained ......."

Li Yiqi waved his hand impatiently and said, "You directly asked him why he was looking for me and what he needed me to do?"

The Hu man looked at Li Yiqi blankly, and after hearing Tang Qi's translation, he nodded again and again, and said a lot of words.

"He said, do you still remember the treasure you solved in Loulan at the beginning?" Tang Qi turned his head to look at Li Yiqi and asked.

"Treasure?" Li Yiqi's heart moved slightly, his face remained unchanged, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Are you talking about the thing you brought me here to fiddle with for the first time?"

"yes, that's it. Tang Qi smiled bitterly, his face became more and more embarrassed, he lowered his head, and was embarrassed to look at him.

Li Yiqi recalled in his mind that when he came here with Tang Qi dozens of days ago, the thing that Princess Loulan gave to many guests like a puzzle-solver-third-order Rubik's Cube.

After communicating with Tang Qi, Balu Cheng glanced at Li Yiqi with trepidation and walked in quickly.

Soon, Balu was gone, and with him a woman.

This woman is less than ten years old, although she has black hair, her eyes are blue, and her facial features also have a very strong Western style, which is very eye-catching. Without squinting, she walked straight to Li Yiqi, saluted, and asked, "Your Excellency is Li Gongzi?"

The woman did not speak Sanskrit from the Western Regions, but in a very pure Xia language, which made it almost impossible to hear anything unusual.

"This is the princess's personal officer. Tang Qi explained on the side.

"Oh?!"

When Li Yiqi heard this, he couldn't help frowning secretly, this princess has been exiled to a foreign land and became a dancing queen, why are there so many people around her...... However, he didn't ask directly, just nodded with a polite smile and said, "Exactly." ”

"Li Gongzi come in with me. The woman glanced at Li Yiqi and took the lead in the courtyard.

"Brother Li, you go in, if you can cure Her Royal Highness the Princess, I will ...... I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!" Tang Qi lowered his head and said in an extremely sincere tone.

Li Yiqi's eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes glanced at Tang Qi strangely, the smile on his face deepened, and he asked curiously, "Isn't it, are you?"

"Alas, if you can't talk about love, it's just ......" Tang Qi smiled bitterly and said for a long time, but he still didn't say a word.

Li Yiqi gave him a blank look and didn't speak again.

He doesn't know this kind of thing himself, so how can he indiscriminately point out others.

Li Yiqi walked into the courtyard, and Balu also followed, and in the courtyard, outside the wing, he saw another Hu man who had stopped him in front of the Li Mansion with Balu.

Moreover, in addition to this person, there were also some big men from the Western Regions standing in the courtyard. These big men, inside are wearing leather suits, with knotted muscles on their bodies, big shoulders on the outside, and black snakeskin scabbards hanging from their ribs, and their faces are fierce, looking like warriors in the Western Regions.

Seeing these people, Li Yiqi's footsteps paused slightly, and a trace of vigilance couldn't help but rise in his heart.

He and Tang Qi came in like this, without escorts, in the face of so many foreign warriors, if the other party had a thief's heart, it was unknown whether his two lives could be saved.

Maybe it was an assassination that made Li Yiqi's nerves too sensitive, and even those Western Regions big men bowed respectfully to him and bent down to dispel this concern in his heart.

"Childe, go in. ”

Outside the wing, Balu said a word to Li Yiqi. He spoke Sanskrit from the Western Regions, but Li Yiqi seemed to understand, nodded, and pushed the door in.

Very neat and clean room, also warm as there is a charcoal fire burning in the corner.

"Li Gongzi. ”

The female officer stepped forward, closed the door, and said to Li Yiqi: "My name is Yehuan, I invite Li Gongzi to come late at night, and I apologize to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"It's okay, the night girl doesn't have to be polite, just say anything, I'm not here to help you, I'm here to help my friend. Li Yiqi waved his hand casually, and immediately his eyes were attracted by the figure on the bed, which was a girl lying flat.

The girl's hair was like silver threads, her face was covered with a white veil, her exposed skin was as white as a baby's, her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes were motionless, and she was as quiet as if she had fallen asleep.

"What's wrong with her?" Li Yiqi couldn't help but ask, although he had only met once, he still recognized that this was the princess of Loulan Kingdom.

"Curse. ”

Yehuan's eyes were gloomy, with a hint of sadness in her voice, she walked to the side of the bed and gently pulled up one of Princess Loulan's cuffs, revealing the mutton fat-like skin underneath.

"What is this?"

Li Yiqi's pupils contracted suddenly. On the white lotus-like jade arm of Princess Loulan, there are some tiny black lines, the black lines are extremely dense, and the Buddha root is planted under the skin, like a black spider web growing in the flesh and blood.

"She's poisoned?" Li Yiqi asked in a condensed voice.

Yehuan nodded, turned around and took a large box, and said quietly: "The antidote is inside." ”

Li Yiqi opened the box and took out the contents of the box, and his face suddenly became a little exciting.

"This thing...... Where did you get that?"

In his hand was a delicate golden six-sided square, only half the size of a palm, with crisscrossed stripes and some patterns on it.

"I am a treasure of my Loulan country, and the prince came to enjoy the princess's dance that day, so I should know. Yehuan said unhurriedly.

"I mean, how did you come up with it, and who made it?"

Li Yiqi's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but play with the small square in his hand, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, because this square was nothing else, it was a Rubik's cube. However, it was not the third-order Rubik's Cube he had seen that day, but a more complex and sophisticated fourth-order Rubik's Cube.

"I don't know what the ancestors left, after all, our ancient kingdom of Loulan has been destroyed. Ye Huan's voice was extremely calm, and when she mentioned that her country was destroyed, she still couldn't hear any fluctuations.

"Can this save lives?" Li Yiqi's eyes stared straight at Ye Huan, and his eyes flashed with suspicion.

"There is an antidote in it, and if you can put all six sides together, you can take out the contents of it. Yehuan's voice finally fluctuated.

"So that's the case!" Li Yiqi was relieved and said slowly: "I can unravel this thing." ”

Ye Huan's eyes lit up, and she heard Li Yiqi continue: "But it takes time." ”

"How long will it take?" she frowned, her tone revealing a hint of anxiety.

"Probably a few days. Li Yiqi replied uncertainly. Spelling the fourth-order Rubik's Cube requires skill, and he has forgotten many steps, and it takes time to recall.

"Childe only has one night. Yehuan's face was slightly gloomy, and her voice was a little anxious.

"Why?" Li Yiqi frowned.

"Tomorrow at sunrise, the princess will die. Yehuan's blue eyes glanced at him, and said eagerly, "Tonight is the deadline." ”

"Can't you just smash it open?"

"If it is destroyed by external force, the antidote inside will also be destroyed, and there is only one antidote in the world. ”

Ye Huan's words made Li Yiqi look slightly stunned, and he almost couldn't help laughing, if he didn't come tonight, would this Princess Loulan die?

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Yiqi looked at Ye Huan fixedly, his face was cold and resolute, and his deep eyes like stars flashed with a sharp light: "It's okay if you want me to help you, but I want your identity and origin." ”

"You know, I'm not talking about Loulan Kingdom. ”

Li Yiqi said with a sneer.

The panic in Ye Huan's eyes flashed, and she said, "Li Gongzi, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Hearing this, Li Yiqi glanced at her deeply, suddenly sneered, shook his head, stood up, and was about to walk out.

"Li Gongzi is slow. Yehuan exclaimed, stopped Li Yiqi, and said anxiously: "Li Gongzi, you can't go." ”

"Oh?"

Li Yiqi turned his head to look at the other party, and said leisurely: "Night girl, you don't want to use force against me, do you? You can send someone to guard me at the door of my house, don't you check my identity? Don't talk about me, even the Tang Gongzi outside, it's not something you can afford to provoke." ”

"I didn't mean that. Yehuan waved her hand again and again, her face extremely panicked.

"But I have. Li Yiqi smiled coldly, but he still paused, looked back at her, and said leisurely: "From the day I saw you, I felt a sense of disobedience. ”

"If your ultimate goal is to really open this fourth-order Rubik's Cube, there are all skilled craftsmen in the Jingshi, why bother to devote yourself to a Qinglou Le Fu, attract those disciples of the family, and recruit sons-in-law to let them do it? ”

"A princess of a dead country, where did she get so much money to hire the protection of many warriors, with this money, it is better to buy a house, so that you don't have to send people under the fence. This is the second suspicion. ”

"And you, Miss Yehuan, what is the purpose of you, a woman with such a high martial arts cultivation and such a beautiful appearance, but you are willing to serve a princess of a dead country? ”

"As far as I know, the masters and servants of your Western Regions countries only talk about price, not morality, let alone loyalty, once the master falls, the servants will run faster than anyone else. Li Yiqi's eyes flickered slightly, waved his hand, and said lightly: "Of course, I'm not mocking you, in my Great Xia, the same is ......"

"I know, because of the documents of the Anxi Protectorate, no matter how you check your origin, you can only find it above the Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions, but, I bet that there is definitely something wrong with your origin, if nothing else, just for one sentence - there must be a demon when things go wrong. ”
