I can tell fortunes, so I’m not easy to mess with [Cross Book]

There were only a few scratches on Bai Yiling's body, only the forehead was smashed, the wound was not deep, but a lot of blood gushed out, it was all over his face, and he couldn't tell who the person in front of him was.

Vaguely, the other party came over to wipe his face with a handkerchief, Bai Yiling sat up, directly wiped his face with his sleeve, opened his eyes, and found that the person who dragged him out of the fire just now was someone he had never seen before. youth.

This person's appearance can be called "handsome", but his eyes are small, there are some wrinkles between his brows, and there is no smile on his face, which makes people look sullen Or the gloom that just fell into bad luck.

With such a mournful expression, he said to Bai Yiling, "Are your eyes okay?"

Bai Yiling: "...It's okay, thank you brother for taking the risk to save me just now. May I ask who you are?"

In fact, if this person hadn't dragged him out, he originally planned to turn on the system protection to see if he could rush into the fire again to save people.But now that the fire was raging, the man rushed in with all his heart. Even if Bai Yiling really went in, he might not be able to rescue him, but the young man in front of him was out of kindness and took the risk to help him.

When the other party heard him asking for his name, he pulled his lips and smiled lightly. He was probably not used to smiling. This expression disappeared with just a lift of his lips, but it made his whole face come alive: "My name is Sheng Ji."

Bai Yiling said "ah", and he added: "It's your third brother."

It is no accident that the peak season will appear here.Before that, he had been studying abroad, and only learned from the letters sent by his family that his younger brother who had been missing for many years had been found, that is, Bai Yiling, the commander of the Northern Inspection Department.Sheng Ji also interrupted his tour because of this incident, and came back on purpose.

When the fire broke out, he happened to pass by here, and he heard the surrounding people comment that Ze'anwei and Jun Xunpu were there to save people and put out the fire. Sheng Ji wanted to see if he could help, so he also came in. The two brothers met a is on.

Bai Yiling was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly greeted Sheng Ji, and then remembered the person who rushed into the fire scene as if committing suicide. He looked ahead, but he couldn't see anything, and asked quickly: "Third Brother, what about that?" Did you see the man who rushed in just now?"

He yelled naturally, Sheng Ji seemed a little happy, his eyes softened a bit, his face still had a stagnant expression, he pressed the handkerchief on Bai Yiling's forehead, motioned him to wipe the blood first, and replied at the same time: " I saw it, he didn’t come out again, he is probably dead.”

When Liang Kuang yelled like that just now, many people saw the scene of the white figure rushing into the fire, and tried to rescue him one after another, but even Bai Yiling and Liang Kuang, who were closest to him, did not catch up to him, and the others were even more naked. He didn't even have time to touch the corner, so he watched helplessly as the other party fell into the raging fire, feeling extremely horrified in his heart.

Even if one is really tired of living and wants to commit suicide, choosing such a method and such a place is too weird.

Bai Yiling's injury looked scary, but after wiping off the blood, the wound was not deep.In addition to him, four other guards from the military training shop were knocked down by the smoke during the fire, and several Ze'an guards suffered burns to varying degrees. Fortunately, no one died.It was not until nearly noon that the fire was completely extinguished, and the victims inside were picked out one by one to identify them.

"Lord Bai." The illustrious eldest prince Gao Guilie walked up to Bai Yiling, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and turned his head to ask, "In this fire, our envoys Renajie and An Gaowei were both killed, and other losses It is even more inestimable, I don’t know how Jin will explain it?”

Bai Yiling looked at the busy soldiers on the open space in front of him with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "The case is not yet clear, and the matter of the eldest prince is not within the scope of my duties. Later, the Ministry of Rites will come to express condolences, please go and have a good time with them." Let's talk."

Gao Guilie laughed: "This time Hu Peng was able to be brought to justice because of the clues provided by Xiao Wang. We are acquaintances after all. Why do you, Mr. Bai, have such a business-like tone and reject people thousands of miles away?"

He got closer and said: "Even the posthouses in the capital are so dangerous. Your guards are really worrying. Tonight, Xiao Wang is homeless. According to Master Bai, I will Where should I live, the safest place?"

The corners of Bai Yiling's lips twitched slightly, and he finally turned his head to glance at Gao Guilie. The sunlight splashed on his face, making his already fair skin almost transparent.

Gao Guilie's breath was slightly suffocated, and Bai Yiling said politely: "I am also very sympathetic to what happened to the eldest prince. There are still a few vacant rooms in my house. I originally thought that if the eldest prince does not despise the shabby , you can move here temporarily..."

Gao Guilie was taken aback.Although he purposely spoke ambiguously and wanted to say something, but he also knew that Bai Yiling's character was rigid, and at most he would dismiss him lightly with a few words, but he didn't expect him to respond and invite him generously.

Everyone has a love of beauty, and Gao Gui is strong and masculine. Unfortunately, most of the tribesmen in the northern borderlands are rough and tough guys. Feeling hot in his chest, he said dizzily, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it..."

But Bai Yiling changed the subject, and said leisurely: "It's a pity that my family is weak, but I'm afraid that if the eldest prince lives in, if there is another fire, even I will be homeless."

After he finished speaking, he burst out laughing, his expression was relaxed, as if he was joking, but Gao Guilie was stunned for a moment, and his mouth was tongue-tied for a moment.

He calmed down, coughed, and smiled again, but the smile was a little less infatuated than last time, and a little more vigilant: "Looking at what Master Bai said, it seems that Xiao Wang has become a dead star." .”

Bai Yiling said: "The eldest prince has always been brave, and he is good at using Hu Dao, right?"

He suddenly changed the subject, Gao Guilie was taken aback for a while, and could only nod his head.

Bai Yiling said: "The body of the impressive Hu Dao is like a half-curved moon, with a thick back and a thin blade. It is an excellent weapon for killing people, but because of its irregular shape, it is difficult to maintain balance when using it. Squeeze your wrist."

He smiled: "Habits become natural. Hu Dao has been replaced by a sword, a dagger, or even a piece of burnt wood. It can't be changed."

Gao Guilie heard him say "burnt wood", what else did he not understand, Bai Yiling is really terrible - this is not only reflected in his appearance, it is probably because he just had an exchange with the arsonist in the middle of the fire. It was just a few rounds in an emergency, and he had already recognized that the opponent's martial arts belonged to the illustrious style.

Originally, the state of Jin had to give Hehe an explanation for the accident at the posthouse, but if it proves that the person who set the fire was also from Hehe, then the situation will be completely reversed, and Gao Guilie will become the one at fault.

How the two countries bargain is not in Bai Yiling's control, so he will stop talking about it.After seeing Gao Guilie's astonishment, he changed the topic with a dry smile, and he chatted with him lukewarmly as if nothing had happened.

Just when Lu Hong strode over, as if he had something to tell Bai Yiling, Gao Guilie quickly took the opportunity to find an excuse to leave, and went back to discuss the matter with other envoys on his own.

Seeing that he was gone, Lu Hong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Brother Six, the corpse that rushed into the fire just now has been identified."

Bai Yiling saw that he was speechless, so he said, "Acquaintance?"

Lu Hong said: "It's... the second son of General Liu's residence, Liu Bo."

[NPC "Smoke Lu Hong" issued a mission: investigate the truth of Liu Bo's death.

Reward points: 500 points, props: an escape gift bag. 】

As soon as this task was released, Bai Yiling couldn't ask "Are you sure the deceased is really Liu Bo?"

He went to look at the corpse with Lu Hong, and saw Liu Bo lying on a relatively clean open space. Compared with other corpses that were almost burnt to black charcoal, his remains were quite neat and could be recognized at a glance No wonder Lu Hong was so sure about what he said.

Wu Zuo was squatting next to the corpse, and Bai Yiling glanced at it with his hands behind his back, without even bending his waist, and said, "Where did the corpse be dragged out, didn't it burn to death?"

"From the edge of a fence at the back."

Chang Yanbo asked curiously: "Sixth brother, how do you know? Although he didn't burn his face, there are quite a few burns on his back, a large area."

Bai Yiling said: "It is precisely because of this that the burns on his back are so severe, but the front of his body is almost intact, which means that in the fire at that time, his posture should be face down and back up—if he was burned alive , wouldn't he roll and struggle when his back was burned?"

Wu Zuo finished examining the corpse, stood up and saluted Bai Yiling, and said, "Your Excellency said so. There were blisters on the mouth and nose of the deceased due to burns. The villain suspected that he had injured his lungs due to inhaling the overheated smoke." , and finally died of suffocation."

The fire will increase the temperature of the surrounding air, and people trapped in the fire can easily cause tracheal burns or pulmonary edema due to breathing hot air, and finally cannot breathe, resulting in death.

It does make sense to say that Liu Bo suffocated to death soon after rushing into the fire, so the only puzzling thing now is-why did he do this?

There was an uproar about what happened at the bid shooting conference. Lu Hong and the others heard about it, and immediately speculated: "Could it be that he owes a huge sum of money and doesn't want to live anymore?"

Bai Yiling glanced at him silently, and Lu Hong automatically thought downwards: "But even if he didn't want to live, why did he choose such a way of death? Hanging, jumping into a river, committing suicide... any of these are more comfortable than being burned to death Is it a lot?"

Chang Yanbo said: "The key is that we still don't know why he used fake products to make up the money. General Liu's family is rich, so it is reasonable to say that this is not the case. Or does this matter have anything to do with He He? Liu Bo wants to demonstrate or Warning, but dare not speak out, it is so extreme."

After the two finished speaking, they looked at Bai Yiling together, as if they were waiting for him to give a standard answer, but this time Bai Yiling pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "I don't think Liu Bo committed suicide."

Chang Yanbo and Lu Hong said at the same time, "Why?"

Although the two of them had their own ideas, they both felt that there was no need to question Liu Bo's suicide - after all, he ran into the scene of the fire under the watchful eyes of everyone, and he didn't want to die himself. Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost?

Lu Hongdao: "But his motives are very clear. When he died, there was no one else around him—could it be that he wanted to go to the fire scene to find something, so he went in regardless of the danger? But the fire was so big at that time, as long as he was not blind or stupid, Who will come over?"

Bai Yiling said: "This is also something I can't figure out. But as far as I know, Liu Bo doesn't seem like a suicidal character—probably there is nothing in this world that he loves more than his own life."

He shook his head and clapped his hands on the shoulders of the two of them respectively: "Look it up. The assassin who set fire was sent directly to Dali Temple, and we will not interfere. For Liu Bo, it starts from why he counterfeit and what he has come into contact with recently. Now that you’ve got your hands on it, let’s sort out some clues first, change into clothes and eat before going.”

After temporarily finishing the matter at hand, he found that Sheng Ji hadn't left yet, and was standing a little far away talking to another man. Bai Yiling walked over and said, "Third brother."

Sheng Ji and the person who was talking to him turned their heads at the same time, Sheng Ji still looked half-dead, but the tall young man opposite him frowned slightly, looked Bai Yiling up and down, and said with a sneer: "Third brother? Hey, this kiss is really fast!"

A gleam of anger flashed across Sheng Ji's face, and he shouted coldly with a warning: "Sheng Kai!"

Sheng Kai sneered, turned around and strode away without even saying hello.

Sheng Ji took a deep breath, then turned to Bai Yiling and said, "That's the cousin of the second uncle's family. We had some trouble because of business just now. He's not attacking you, so don't worry about it."

Bai Yiling had heard from Sheng Zhi before that the Duke of Zhen, Sheng Mian, had a half-brother named Sheng Hao. The old Duke of Zhen died young due to illness. Born one year late.When Sheng Mian went out to fight, he thought that his elder brother would not come back, so he gathered some clan elders to force him to go to the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and asked the old lady for the land deed silver note, claiming that he wanted to separate the family.

Later, Princess Duanjing rushed to the battlefield to rescue her husband, and Sheng Mian not only returned to the Jin Kingdom alive, but also made great contributions. Then Sheng Hao moved out of the Zhenguo Mansion in despair. Since then, the two sides have not been getting along well. Even the relationship with the children is not good.

Naturally, Bai Yiling wouldn't take such a small matter to heart. He nodded and said, "Third brother, you've been away for so long, and you haven't returned home yet, right? You go, I'm fine here. I'll be there in a few days." Go back and visit your parents and you."

Sheng Ji said briefly: "Okay, then I'm leaving."

He handed a small medicine bottle in his hand to Bai Yiling. The mouth of the bottle had not been opened, so it was obvious that he had just bought it: "Wound medicine."

Bai Yiling was a little moved, bowed his head and saluted: "Thank you, third brother."

Sheng Ji didn't talk much, he patted his head unskillfully, said "um", and left too.

The reason for Liu Bo's counterfeit goods was quickly investigated, but the reason was flat and somewhat disappointing.It turned out that when the cargo ship transported the jades back to the state of Jin, Liu Bo was personally responsible for escorting them. For the sake of convenience, he didn't heed the warning of the boat owner, and went on the road all night. Bo was rescued by his subordinates desperately, so he was lucky to escape with his life.

Although there are unpredictable things in the sky, such an accident happened because of his wrong decision-making. Liu Bo didn't dare to tell his father. Thought it was still seen through.

After Chang Yanbo finished speaking, he handed a list to Bai Yiling and said, "Look, Sixth Brother, these are the names we have found so far, and they have been related to Liu Bo in recent days. These are the names he usually contacts. My friend, Liu Bo borrowed money from these people. Although Linzhang King was not in the capital for a while, he had an ambiguous relationship with Mr. Liu, and he made a guarantee for him-you know this, so I will also list the name And Boss Xue, the possibility that he was deceived and killed because of hatred cannot be ruled out."

Although he still hasn't figured out how Liu Bo ran into the fire by himself, but after finding out the reason for his fraud, Chang Yanbo also has to admit that Bai Yiling's judgment at the beginning should be correct.

Liu Bo just caused trouble without telling his family. He was afraid of being blamed by his father and dared not tell it. The worst result was that General Liu severely punished him and paid back the money that should be paid. It's been a while since it was spread in Kyoto.Liu Bo is not a person with a strong personality, so there is no need to commit suicide in shame and indignation.

Bai Yiling said: "Okay, I've worked hard, let me think about it again, you go back."

After Chang Yanbo left, he thought of Boss Xue's sleek smiling face, shook his head, picked up a pen and scratched the name off the paper, and added three words at the end——

"Sang Hongrui."

On the night of the bid shooting meeting, Liu Bo deliberately behaved intimately with Lu Qi in order to demonstrate to him, but Sang Hongrui happened to notice this scene.Although Liu Bo lived until after Lu Qi ascended the throne in the original book, but now the plot has changed too much, and these things are hard to guarantee.

Sang Hongrui is jealous and cruel, could it be her who did it this time?But it's not easy to get the words out of this woman's mouth.

Bai Yiling leaned back, leaned his body into the chair, and thought about this matter over and over again, but he was also very tired after the day, thinking about it, getting sleepy, and fell asleep like this.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt that there were too many people in the room in his sleep, and he woke up vigilantly almost instantly, but his body was still leaning on the chair motionless.

Then a piece of clothing was gently and softly covered his body, and it was specially tucked under his chin, his movements were gentle and careful.

Bai Yiling immediately realized who that person was, and he relaxed almost instantly, even he himself was surprised by this relaxation.

After covering Bai Yiling with clothes, Lu Yu was not willing to leave. He leaned on the armrest of the chair, leaned over to see the injury on Bai Yiling's forehead, and frowned in distress.

He had been in the palace all day, and he accidentally heard from the changing guards that "Commander Bai was injured and his face was covered in blood", which immediately frightened Lu Yu so much that he hurried away The Baifu came to the Northern Inspection Department after being out of the air.

He looked at it for a while, and couldn't help stretching out his hand gently, stroked Bai Yiling's hair, and sighed silently.

Bai Yiling said: "Light the candle."

Lu Yu withdrew his hand: "Are you awake?"

Bai Yiling said "hmm", but Lu Yu lightly pressed his shoulder and said, "What are you busy with, let's take a break—I just want to see you, nothing else."

In such darkness, he couldn't see his expression clearly, only a vaguely slender figure leaning casually on the edge of the table opposite him, giving people a sense of comfort and relaxation.

Bai Yiling's consciousness had already awakened, but his body didn't want to move. Hearing this, he simply continued to lean on in peace, yawned, and said lazily, "How's the envoy over there?"

Lu Yu liked the atmosphere very much, smiled slightly, walked behind Bai Yiling, gently rubbed his temples for him, and said slowly: "Thanks to you catching the arsonist in time, Dali Temple has already cleared up the trial, sent someone to The person who set the fire was Gao Guilie's half-brother, the illustrious second prince Gao Tuda."

Bai Yiling said "Oh", not very surprised, and said: "Then they have nothing to say now."

Lu Yu smiled and said: "Yes. Although Gao Guilie is also a victim, he is in an enemy country. First, he doesn't want to let the emperor know that there are internal strife in their clan. His position is not so secure; second, no matter how you say it, , It was also the Hehe people who set fire to the capital of the Jin State, and it would not be good for him to tell about it. Therefore, he has to cover himself after suffering from the dumbness."

There was a bit of gloating in his tone: "I think their plan was to push it to Jin Guo first, and wait to go back and close the door to settle accounts, but now the abacus can't move."

Bai Yiling sighed and said, "Infighting... It seems that Liu Bo's death has nothing to do with it. I still have to go to Sang Hongrui's side tomorrow."

A woman like Sang Hongrui, no one wants to deal with her. Lu Yu heard the reluctance in Bai Yiling's voice, and said, "What do you want to ask, I will go for you."

Bai Yiling waved his hand, thinking about the plot in the original novel that could impress the heroine so that he could get the words out of her mouth.

In my impression, Sang Hongrui's most important thing is probably the marriage between her and Lu Qi. Once, she went to a Yuelao temple to offer incense and make a wish, but because the incense died in the middle, she thought that Yuelao would not fulfill her wish , almost smashed the statue.

In addition, Bai Yiling remembers that the heroine seemed to have raised a Persian cat when she was young, and cherished it very much...

Wait a minute, Yuelao, the cat—the fox!

Bai Yiling sat up straight all of a sudden, lifted his clothes and turned to look at Lu Yu with burning eyes.

Lu Yu took a small step back: "?"

"His Royal Highness Huai Wang." Bai Yiling's handsome brows and eyes were full of spring flowers, "Do you want to tell your fortune?"

Lu Yu was confused when he heard this, facing Bai Yiling's sly smile, he intuitively realized that something might be wrong, but he still nodded vigorously without hesitation.

Bai Yiling smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be too difficult, I just need a little spiritual animal to cooperate with my work."

Lu Yu pointed at himself, and Bai Yiling nodded: "Is it possible?"

Lu Yu put down his hand with a smile: "When did I tell you that you can't do it? You only need to command a word in vain, and you will never refuse. It's superfluous to ask this question."

In fact, Bai Yiling didn't ask him any embarrassing request. Even if he borrowed some money from the wine shop last time, he paid it back in full afterwards. In fact, Lu Yu hoped that he would go too far. good.
