Chen Shizheng, Ningrenfang.

After a night, Long Ansi still hasn't received any news about Keduo, Keduo seems to have evaporated, even if Keduo's martial arts are high, it will not leave the slightest clue, which is really intriguing.

The person on the horse outside Ningrenfang was Li Ke, although he drank with Pei Min until late at night, but it did not affect his itinerary today, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to clear his suspicion and live a free life like before, there was only one way, and that was to catch Keduo. But when it comes to catching Keduo, it's easier said than done, after a few fights, Li Ke can feel that the other party is not an ordinary person, no matter martial arts and strategy, it seems to be superior, and it is dangerous to be an enemy of him. It's not that Li Ke didn't want to leave and ignore the matter, but the chivalrous heart in his heart didn't allow him to do this, so he just escaped for a while, once Luoyang was in trouble, then he would definitely have trouble for the rest of his life. Besides, now that he has a wife, how can he allow them to follow him and live like fleeing and exile, one day, when Xiao Taibai grows up, how can he face it? This is Li Ke's true heart, this time he can only choose to face it, and he can only live and die with Luoyang.

Luoyang City has been on high alert in recent days, and there have been horse-repellent and sentry posts between each square, but Li Ke holds the token of Long'an Division, and he is also unimpeded all the way. When he passed by the Luoshui River, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the lampstand built on the river with bamboo, about dozens of zhang wide, and it had been initially built. Thinking of this, Li Ke also knew that there was nothing he could do, so he could only continue to ride forward.

The explosion of Ningrenfang killed and injured three days ago, but it has only been a few days, and it seems to have been forgotten, just like the attack on the caravan outside the thick gate, as long as it is not related to oneself, it can be ignored. The new Li Zheng has arrived, although Li Ke is a veteran, but he holds the Long'an Commander card, Li Zheng does not dare to slack off, Li Ke explained that he prepared all the files of Yuanliang and Dayuan Inn, and went to Dayuan Inn alone.

Today's weather is very good, the clouds are light and the wind is light, just after the hour, Ningrenfang is a lively scene again, here the merchants of the Western Regions are concentrated, the goods of various countries are also dazzling, the snack bar on the roadside has already opened, the mutton in the basin, Hu cake, steamed cake, crisp mountain, fire crystal persimmon... There is everything, and there are all kinds of costumes along the way, Zoroastrians, Nestorians, Buddhists... In order to show off their wealth, some people brought a lot of Kunlun slaves behind them, and the grand scene in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is probably better than that of Chang'an City in the west.

But Li Ke was not interested in appreciating the grand scenery in this Ningren Fang, he walked through the crowd and soon arrived at the Dayuan Inn. Dayuan Inn is very deserted in front of the door, there are not many pedestrians, compared with the previous street, it is not surprising, there was a tragedy here a few days ago, the gate is also pasted with the seal of the government, the big festival, no one wants to provoke this bad luck, so they all detour.

Li Ke came to the gate and cautiously wanted to remove the seal, but he suddenly found that the seal had traces of being moved, could it be that someone had already entered first? Li Ke raised his vigilance, he was inconvenient to enter through the gate, he went around the courtyard wall on the side of the inn, jumped lightly, climbed the courtyard wall, he bowed down, carefully observed the courtyard, and at the same time listened quietly, after making sure that there was no one in the courtyard, he jumped in.

He gently poked his steps and came to the front of the house, and wanted to open the door, but he pushed it gently, but the door was not locked, was there anyone in the house? He cautiously pushed the door open a little more, just enough for him to turn sideways, and leaned down towards the room. He just leaned into half of his body, and suddenly faintly heard movement directly above his body, he reflexively looked up, a black shadow jumped down and held a stick towards his head, he hurriedly turned sideways, avoided the stick, and at the same time kicked sideways, kicked the black shadow, his black shadow was hit by Li Ke, flew directly backwards in the air, hit the wall and stopped, after landing and spitting blood, Li Ke fixed his eyes, the black shadow that attacked him was actually - Chen Wuji!

Li Ke hurriedly stepped forward, helped Chen Wuji up, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" But Chen Wuji's old injuries had not healed, and he was hit so hard by Li Ke that he fainted for a while, and Li Ke was about to be treated, but a voice sounded in the room: "Captain Li, don't come unharmed!" ”

Li Ke was shocked, he had changed his face, how could he be recognized, so he hurriedly turned his head to see who it was.

I saw a familiar figure of Li Ke walking out from the side, it was Xue Liang, Xue Liang said with a smile: "Li Duwei, this disguise technique is indeed magical, I guess it must be from the hand of the Khitan painter Lunkesu, right?" ”

Seeing that the person who came was Xue Liang, Li Ke also relaxed his vigilance a little, he was also his old friend, and this time he went to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, Li Ke was also the first to contact Xue Liang. Xue Liang has a wide range of connections, wisdom, and righteousness, and people in the rivers and lakes also admire him, so the first thing Li Ke thought of when he came to God was Xue Liang.

He didn't expect Xue Liang to be able to see through his disguise, let alone Xue Liang to appear here, so he asked with some surprise: "Mr. Xue, why are you here?" How can you know Li? ”

Xue Liang laughed out loud and said: "Yesterday in the Royal Horse Farm, Li Sanlang led a veteran, a white coat, and a soldier to defeat the invincible Tubo Ten Horsemen, can ordinary people do it?" If an ordinary veteran has such skills, he may have already become famous, so why is he obscure? In addition, Li Duwei has disappeared from prison for no reason in the past few days, and Xue is expected to be Li Duwei. ”

Even if he has been recognized, Li Ke naturally doesn't have to hide it anymore, he can only smile lightly and say: "It's still Mr. Xue Liang's clever calculation, and it is difficult for us to escape Mr. Xue's eyes." ”

Xue Liang continued: "In fact, it is not difficult to know about this matter with a little speculation, and it is expected that such a wise person as Your Majesty should also be aware of it, and it is probably a help behind it, right?" ”

This Xue Liang is indeed very smart, and he can think of everything to His Majesty, and it doesn't hurt to admit it, but when it comes to His Majesty, Li Keke can't answer easily, so he changed the topic and said: "Mr. Xue is very intelligent, and the reason for this is that Mr. Xue has his own opinions, but why does Mr. Xue appear here?" ”

After listening to Li Ke's reply, Xue Liang already had an answer in his heart, this matter involved His Majesty, and he didn't want to continue to ask more, so as not to get into trouble, so he pointed to Chen Wuji on the ground and said: "The purpose of my trip is the same as that of the two of you, to investigate the case!" ”

"Investigating the case?" This answer was somewhat unexpected by Li Ke.

Xue Liang nodded, and said with certainty again: "Well, investigate the case!" The case is getting bigger and bigger, Xue served King Liang, and King Liang also wanted to make this contribution, so he entrusted Xue to investigate and handle it secretly, hoping to make some gains, so that King Liang could gain favor in front of His Majesty. ”

Li Ke secretly calculated in his heart, and there seemed to be no loophole in what Xue Liang said, so he said: "Then whether Mr. Xue has found something, can you tell Li Mou one or two?" To be honest, at this time, the two are in a competitive relationship, Li Ke doesn't expect Xue Liang to tell him anything, this question is more just polite words.

Xue Liang sighed and said: "Don't hide it from Captain Li, Xue Liang ordered people to visit day and night, and all kinds of places have not been missed, but so far nothing has been found. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I followed this Chen Wuji, as soon as this Chen Wuji entered the door, you came again, it seems that the three of us want to be together today. ”

As expected, Xue Liang really would not share his investigation with Li Ke, but Li Ke observed Xue Liang carefully, his eyes were firm, his tone was relaxed, and it didn't seem like he was lying. ”

Xue Liang paused, and asked rhetorically: "Let me ask you, where did you get the name of this Keduo?" ”

In order to find out the facts of the case, Li Ke no longer had any reservations at this moment, and replied: "I can't hide it, I heard it from the red-haired Yama in the ghost market." ”

Xue Liang continued to ask, "Where did the red-haired Yama hear about it?" ”

After he asked, Li Ke suddenly realized that the mystery that had plagued him for so many days was suddenly solved. He recalled that the last time he fought with Kedo, he claimed that he had also received a martial arts ghost order from the red-haired Yama, and his request after winning was to let the red-haired Yama inform Li Keduo that he was in Ningrenfang, and the red-haired Yama did as agreed. At that time, Li Ke asked him why he was like this, and he only said vaguely, do you need to say more about the corpses all over the ground? Li Ke was defeated at the beginning, and his heart was chaotic, but he didn't think deeply about it, if it wasn't for Xue Liang's reminder today, he would probably have been kept in the dark, blindly Manluoyang continued to track down Keduo.

Thinking of this, Li Ke hurriedly said: "Mr. Xue reminded him, so according to what Mr. saw, what is the truth here?" ”

Xue Liang smiled lightly and continued: "It's not that I mean to hide it from you, you and I are also old friends, and I haven't had a chance to apologize to you for the matter of Liang Wangfu, but at this time, I really don't know, this Keduo is a master, and he is not like an ordinary person, which is why I came here in person today." ”

Xue Liang said, Li Kezi was a little disappointed, but it was not good to ask anything, Xue Liang continued: "Li Duwei, please be relieved, Xue does not want to provoke right and wrong, and I will never report the matter of disguise to King Liang." I have sent someone to inquire about this Dayuan Inn many times, but there is no clue, Xue said goodbye, and I hope that Li Duwei will cherish it! ”

Since Xue Liang said that he would not reveal the disguise, then he would never reveal it to others, Li Ke still had this trust in Xue Liang, so he arched his hand and said: "Mr. Xie mentions, Mr. take care." Xue Liang didn't say anything more and left the Dayuan Inn.

Seeing Xue Liang leaving, Li Ke hurriedly leaned over to help Chen Wuji, as Xue Liang said, this Keduo is indeed a thoughtful person, and it is expected that there will be no clues in this Dayuan Inn.
