Baili Brothers 3: Scarlet Capital Chapter 4: Bloody Case
Chang'an, night falls.
"What's the matter? Didn't you find Li Xin?" Di Renjie looked at the dejected Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance, and said with a wry smile: "I can't recognize the way, right?"
"yes. Baili Xuance reluctantly shook the flying sickle and said: "The road here is too tortuous, we entered the city avenue, and we were immediately trapped in the labyrinth of houses, and we couldn't find the way at all." Not to mention finding someone, it's nice that we can come out. ”
"That's it. Di Renjie said: "The building in Chang'an is like this, if you can't find it, you can't find it, and I guess he should come back." Now I'm going to show you something else. ”
"What?" Baili Shouyu and Baili Xuance were both quite curious.
"It's about the case of Prince Qian, Li Xin's father, and I suspect that the prince and prince were unjustly killed, and Prince Qiantai was also killed. As he spoke, he took out the words that Shangguan Wan'er had given him before.
"What is it?" The two of them came over to take a look, and they both said strangely: "Isn't this Shangguan Taifu the one Li Xin wants to help avenge ······his grievances?" Is this the evidence that the empress said she wanted? ”
"Nope. Di Renjie shook his head and said: "This is written by the memory of Shangguan Taifu's granddaughter, and since she is a relative, it cannot be effective evidence." I have asked you to come back, in addition to reporting to Your Majesty, I also want to ask you to help investigate this case together. Of course, it's not mandatory, as it's not part of your duty as the Great Wall Guard. Think for yourself, even if you don't want to participate. ”
Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts and hesitations in each other's eyes. Baili Shou said: "Master Di, the interests involved in this case should be very wide, otherwise we are in the main hall, and the empress will not be so angry with Li Xinfa, right?
"Not bad. Di Renjie paced up and said, "So we can only investigate secretly, for those powerful people, most of the secret agents are actually under their watch." Only a small number of secret agents, including Yuan Fang, have the right to keep secrets when investigating the case. But they alone may not be able to succeed. That's why I asked for your help, in my opinion, it doesn't matter whether it was an unjust case back then, the important thing is to give everyone the truth. ”
Li Xin was walking on the dim streets, no matter how complicated and intertwined the roads in Chang'an City were, they were all firmly remembered in his mind, and no road could fascinate him. Looking at the brightly lit scenery in the distance, Li Xin only showed a look of awe. He was afraid of the life of a noble dog and horse, so he chose such a dark path to walk.
"Maybe······ This is a true portrayal of my years of mediocrity and I dare not do anything, and I dare not make a sound at all. Li Xin looked at everything around him, without any anger, and couldn't help laughing at himself.
"Didi Dudu ······" In the dimly lit corner, a few footsteps could be heard from nowhere. From the sound of the voice, there are no less than dozens of people.
"What do you mean?" Li Xin couldn't help but stop: "How can there be so many people in this kind of place?" He took out the heavy sword from small to large and stuck it on the ground, and shouted: "What kind of person?
Li Xin didn't believe that there was no one around, and as soon as he kicked his legs, he grabbed the heavy sword and was about to jump to a high place. At this time, the four corners around the road suddenly made noises, and at the same time, a handful of black things were thrown out, and they all galloped towards Li Xin in the air.
"Thief!" Li Xin shouted angrily, grabbed the heavy sword and swung it at his side at the same time, and shot down the four black things together, and fell to the ground "dang dang dang chang". Li Xin himself also landed steadily at the same time.
Several men dressed in black walked out from each of the four directions of the street, all holding sharp tomahawk steel forks in their hands. Li Xinxin swept all directions, couldn't see their identities, and said coldly: "Who are you?"
"At the lower west gate, Your Highness······ Courteous. A man in black with a fluctuating figure, high and low, said in a deep voice. When Li Xin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, grabbed his heavy sword and pointed at him, and said, "It's you······! Did you kill me?"
"Well······ this" Simon wiped his face with disgust and said, "Your Highness's question is too difficult for people to answer. But what······ If His Highness goes to see His Highness's father, the Crown Prince, now, he may be able to get the answer. Li Xin was furious, he looked at Simon and disgusted that everyone was dressed strangely, and he couldn't even see their faces clearly, and thought that they must have changed their clothes, so that they would not be easy to be seen in the dark. He slashed at the ground with a sword and swept towards Simon with the air currents on the ground.
Simon sneered at the battle axe in front of him, and Li Xin's powerful slash hit it, only making a slight "poof" sound, which was fleeting. Li Xinzhi knew that in his current state, he was not his opponent in any case, and just as he was about to act, Simon shouted first: "Do it!" The black-clothed men in the four directions suddenly moved together, and as soon as their weapons were closed, a beam of light suddenly burst out from the place where the weapons met, attacking Li Xin.
Li Xin knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed to dodge. The four beams of light converged in front of Li Xin, and in the flickering light, almost half of the sky was illuminated.
Gongsun Li stood on the roof of the high house in the distance with an umbrella, looking at the chaos here, covering his mouth a little anxiously, and said in his heart: "I······ I have to save Your Highness······ No, I can't save him······ I can't let him be killed again for saving me. That's right······ That's right, Dali Temple!" Thinking of this, she shook her body, hung her umbrella in the air, and then rushed to the direction of Dali Temple.
While the four beams erupted with strong light, they suddenly exploded in the direction of an explosion towards Li Xin. Li Xin was thinking about how to fight back, and was immediately hit in the chest by a bright light. He let out a snort, but he couldn't move an inch, and the blazing beam forced him to take a step back, and then fell to his knees with a "plop".
"Your Highness!" Simon sneered and rushed towards Li Xin, who listened to his voice and tried to stand up, while a sword was plunged into the ground, summoning a golden bright light. Simon looked at it with disgust, knowing that he couldn't let his transformation succeed, and shouted, "Stop!" An axe was thrown and slashed at Li Xin's chest, but Li Xin still looked straight ahead as if nothing happened. Seeing this, Ximen was disgusted, and with a change of "poof", his whole body turned into a black liquid flowing in the air, and he suddenly deceived Li Xin.
Li Xin's hair had just grown and he couldn't move at all, but Simon's arms had grown several times longer in an instant, stabbing Li Xin like a sharp knife and spear. Li Xin snorted miserably, and the golden light emanating from his whole body suddenly dimmed. Ximen was overjoyed, and the speed of his arms accelerated, and he hit Li Xin no less than fifty times in a row, and the last kick was withdrawn, kicking Li Xin far away.
Li Xin had almost lost consciousness, looking at the dark black heavy sword that had fallen in front of him, leaving only a touch of golden light, he could only stretch his arm forward: "Where······ Where is my hometown······ He fainted.
"It was only when he accepted the dark contract that he escaped. Simon muttered, "But he didn't have time to use the power of light or the power of darkness. As he spoke, he turned into a human form and said, "If we let him use it, we won't be able to deal with it, and we must not keep him!"
"Your Excellency······ My lord, something happened!" Di Renjie was calmly watching Baili Shouyu and Baili Xuance discuss whether to participate in the investigation of the case. Li Yuanfang suddenly ran in in a panic.
"What's going on?" Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang's face covered with blood, even his two big ears were covered with blood, and the darts on his back were nowhere to be found, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Yes······ Is it Li Xin?" Li Yuanfang endured the pain, waved his hand, and fell to the ground, and at the same time, four secret agents behind him rushed in carrying Li Xin, who was already a bloody man.
As soon as Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance helped Li Yuanfang up, they were startled by Li Xin who looked like this. Di Renjie was also surprised, and said, "This ······ What the hell is going on?" Li Yuanfang was able to barely stand firm under the support of Baili Shou Covenant, and said, "Yes······ It was Simon who led the twelve bandits to attack His Highness in the dark market. Fortunately, we had spies discovering it, and there were other passers-by who alerted us, so we were able to get there in time to save them before they could be killed······ Ahem······ My lord, this ······ This Simon is so angry, we ······ We are not opponents at all. If it weren't for the Chang'an City Patrol Guards being lured over, none of us would have been able to retreat with all of us. ”
"There are only five of you left?" Di Renjie looked at the remaining four secret agents who were also covered in blood, and couldn't believe it. Who would have thought that more than 20 elite agents under Li Yuanfang would lose most of them without fighting back under the attack of Ximen.
"Quick! Send him to be healed! Don't go out of Dali Temple, ask the doctor to come into Dali Temple!" Di Renjie hurriedly beckoned them to act, and then slammed the table and said: "Damn! I didn't expect Ximen to really dare to do something to His Highness in this situation." ”
"Why did he do this?" asked Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance were very worried, but they were also resentful.
"I think······ Nine times out of ten, he is also related to the case of Prince Qian, so he will do everything in his power to kill His Highness. Di Renjie said word by word: "It seems that the case of Prince Qian······ It's really an unjust case. If not, why would they still refuse to let His Highness go?"
"West-door-haunted!" Baili Shou's fist clenched unconsciously, and said: "I believe that Li Xin's promise will be fulfilled, since someone doesn't want this case to be arrested again, then we want to find out this case again to see what is in it." Xuan Ce!" Baili Xuan Ce also nodded and said, "Master Di, this case, whether it is for the truth or for the promise, our brother will definitely help investigate." ”
"Okay!" Di Renjie was also very excited, and said: "Since this is the case, I will inform the people who are investigating the case with you to find out the truth of this case!"
