Chapter 70: The Storm in the Shadows
For Li Bai, the most important treasure, one is the sword, and the other is the wine.
The sword carries the rivers and lakes and beliefs, while the wine entrusts oneself and the past.
Everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober, although my face will become drunk and red because of drunkenness, but what is more terrible than drunkenness is to forget my original intention, and forget why I went to the end of the world with a sword in the first place.
Even if you go to the ends of the earth, the only two indispensable things are these two.
"Drinking? But now in the middle of the night, where are you going to drink? β
Although the system issued a hidden task for itself to invite Li Bai to drink just now, it is now the dead of night, and almost all the restaurants in the streets and alleys have closed.
"It's okay, it's okay, and I didn't say it had to be today."
As soon as he mentioned the wine, Li Bai showed a look of relief and excitement, his face regained the drunken redness he had before, and he and Lu Yu hooked shoulders like brothers, and said with a smile: "Ordinary wine, I don't like it." If you can find good wine to make me happy, maybe I'll show you a few swordsmanship. β
Regarding the somewhat pungent and somewhat aged aroma of wine on Li Bai's body, Lu Yu could only smile bitterly a few times, and then agreed.
Good guy, are you a sword fairy or a wine fairy?
"Hey, Li Bai!"
When Li Bai pulled Lu Yu to talk about all kinds of wine, there was a loud drink from behind him.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Di, the sheriff?"
They are all old acquaintances, Li Bai naturally doesn't need to look at his face, he can also distinguish according to the breath of the comer.
However, Di Renjie will not treat Li Bai as an old acquaintance.
"Li Bai, you violated the curfew regulations and traveled privately! Oh, and by the way, you're also involved in carrying sharp weapons, including disturbing people! Come with me! β
couldn't help but say, Di Renjie instructed Li Yuanfang to step forward and control Li Bai.
"Hey, little Didi, it's rare for me to go back to Chang'an once, can't you treat me well? And I'm just helping you catch the criminal. β
Li Bai smiled bitterly, and his agile body dodged Li Yuanfang's small hand.
"If you dare to call me by that title again, you'll be more than just detained."
With thick eyebrows and frowning, Di Renjie was very dissatisfied with Li Bai's appearance with himself.
"Huh? Lu Yu, why are you here? β
When he got closer, Di Renjie found that there was actually Lu Yu beside Li Bai.
"Eh, you know each other? That's right, Xiao Lu told Master Di if I was chasing a prisoner. β
Li Bai wrapped his arms around and stood aside leisurely, but he didn't tell Lu Yu about intercepting him.
"Master Di, here's how it ......"
Lu Yu recounted the process of the incident with missing arms and legs, and of course, he skipped the matter of fighting Li Bai directly.
"Oh? Are you looking for those two mysterious people too? β
Although he wanted Li Bai to suffer, Di Renjie cared more about the mysterious aura of the two hidden in the dark in the restaurant incident.
"I don't know if you have noticed it, the block of Chang'an is shrouded in a closed force, like being in a chess game, and it is because I am aware of this, so I cut it off with my sword qi."
When it came to business, Li Bai also regained his serious and serious look, and said contemplatively.
I have to say that Li Bai, who has a serious face, is really handsome, and his momentum like a fairy makes Lu Yu secretly smack his tongue.
"Well, I feel it, Master Di and I were looking for the smell of those two people, but when we entered the block, we suddenly lost all our breath."
Li Yuanfang padded his feet and hurriedly said.
"Hehe, little mouse, your perception seems to be much higher than that of Master Di."
Li Bai smiled, looked at Di Renjie with a sullen face on the side, and quickly shut up again.
"Ahem, then, why did you appear in Chang'an City? Is it because there isn't enough alcohol outside for you, an alcoholic? β
Diverting the topic, Di Renjie suddenly remembered that Li Bai's return to Chang'an must have some secret or other things.
"Haha, Master Di is really smart, just guess it! Don't you know, how strong the wine at the border is, which is like the wine in Chang'an, mellow and long, which makes people have an endless aftertaste......"
Li Bai said with a smile, this answer made Di Renjie unable to find any flaws.
"Cut, others really shouldn't call you Qinglian Sword Immortal, they should call you Qinglian drunkard."
Di Renjie didn't like Li Bai's carefree attitude the most, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Hey, enough of you two, now is not the time to quarrel."
Seeing that the two of them were actually talking, Lu Yu could only helplessly cut off their topic.
"By the way, Xiao Didi, Chang'an City, when did Lu Yu have such a powerful role?"
Li Bai arched Lu Yu's elbow and asked Di Renjie.
"He's not from Chang'an, he's from the Great Wall."
Di Renjie said lightly, and at the same time, because of Li Bai's name for himself, he glared at him fiercely again.
"The Great Wall? No wonder, no wonder you have the blood of Fang Gang, and your strength is so strong, it seems that you have experienced the tempering of war. Tsk, it seems that your swordsmanship is not lost to me, and it seems that you still hide your strength? β
Li Bai's eyes when he looked at Lu Yu changed again.
"Why, the swordsmanship you are proud of can't fight Lu Yu?"
Seeing Li Bai admit the strength of others for the first time, Di Renjie couldn't help but sneer again, but at the same time, he also had a new understanding of Lu Yu's strength.
This guy can make drunkards admit it, it seems that he is indeed ridiculously strong.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, blue is better than blue, I call myself a genius, but I didn't expect there to be someone outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains."
Shaking his head, Li Bai didn't explain because of Di Renjie's sarcasm, but just sighed by default.
Although Di Renjie was a little surprised by Li Bai's inexplicable indifferent temperament, he was also somewhat clear.
Because of what happened, Li Bai's heart was no longer as wild and uninhibited as when he first entered Chang'an, and perhaps he had been consumed in the long yellow sand and self-blame.
In fact, although that arrogant attitude occasionally made Di Renjie feel annoyed, it did not prevent him from admitting that Li Bai was indeed a very good guy.
"So, do you have any clues you can provide about those two mysterious people now?"
Known as a master of case solving, Di Renjie naturally has a very high sensitivity to cases and conspiraciesββββ
Maybe for himself, those two people are just thieves who punish rape and eliminate evil, but since Li Bai has made a move, then this matter must not be simple.
Coupled with his previous foreboding, Di Renjie felt more and more that this was not an accident, but a storm hidden in the dark and about to erupt.
