Suzaku Fury

Chapter 38 [29 Revisiting the old place]

Since the details of the case have already been revealed, it is rare for Di Renjie to have a dreamless night, and it is dawn when he opens his eyes.But the only drowsiness left in him was swept away when he saw the strange roof, he jumped up from the bed, hurriedly put on his shoes, only to see him sitting in front of the stone table, holding a white jade cup and savoring Yuchi Zhenjin of tea.

"Are you awake?" Yuchi glanced at him, then retracted his gaze, staring at the floating and sinking fine tea leaves in the cup.

Di Renjie stood in front of the bed in a daze for a while, and then recalled the incident of staying in Yuchi's room last night. He was proud of himself, but seeing the bright sun outside the house, the joy just now disappeared without a trace.He neatly straightened his appearance, and said anxiously, "Why didn't your lord call me?"

Yuchi heard the words, his words were teasing, but he didn't look at him: "A self-disciplined person, why do you need someone to remind you?"

Di Renjie knew that he couldn't hold him back, and now he had no time to fight with him, so he turned around hastily, and saw that there was a copper washing basin beside the bed, he grabbed it and used it without asking who it belonged to.

"Di Renjie! That's my official..." Yuchi was shocked when he saw this, he threw the white jade cup and shouted to stop, but Di Renjie's hands and feet were as sharp as Di Renjie's.

After a brief wash and wash, Di Renjie walked back to the stone table like a fire burning under his feet, and cupped his hands at Yuchi Zhenjin, saying, "Your Majesty, dare to ask my lord, are there troops guarding the place where your lord was attacked last night?"

Yuchi Zhenjin withdrew his gaze from the still rippling copper basin, and heard Di Renjie questioning himself, he couldn't help but sullenly said: "Is this what you ordered? I have my own arrangements."

Di Renjie was secretly delighted, thinking that he really deserved to be the minister of Dali Temple, he acted cautiously and never left one place.Immediately, he loosened his fist again, looking at Yuchi's blue eyes that were full of anger, he said, "I have another question, I don't know how your lord was injured last night..."

"There is no serious problem." After Yuchi finished speaking, he turned around, pressed his palm on the case, and asked forcefully, "Could it be that in your Di Renjie's eyes, this officer is so vulnerable?"

"The lower official is also worried about your health." Di Renjie looked away calmly, "In my heart, my lord is naturally brave and invincible, with a world-famous reputation."

It was rare for Yuchi Zhenjin to hear Di Renjie praise him again, so he let out a breath of anger in his heart. Dang even raised the corners of his lips, lowered his eyelids, glanced at Di Renjie, and said: "I know how capable I am, why don't you?" Do you want to talk too much?" When he was talking, he turned his face away so that Di Renjie could not see his smug smile.

Di Renjie had figured out his preferences a long time ago, how could he not know whether he was crying or smiling, happy or angry at this moment?But Yuchi must not let Yuchi take all the advantages, if he gets a bad reputation of sycophancy, then the gain will outweigh the loss.So he came up with a sentence: "The lower official has something to ask."

"But it's okay to say." Yuchi was really straightforward, holding the handle of the Qinglian Tang Dao with one hand, and looked at Di Renjie with a refreshed face.

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Please, my lord and my subordinates, go back again."

Yuchi Zhenjin frowned suddenly, and asked: "Where?"

"The place where your lord was attacked last night."

Yuchi Zhenjin let go of the hand holding the handle of the knife, and asked again: "I was ordered by the Queen of Heaven to check the accounts today, and this request was also made by you, now..."

Di Renjie said again: "My lord, things have changed now. If everything goes according to plan, how can there be a breakthrough, and how can there be a change?" Seeing Yuchi's silence, he hit the iron while it was hot: "Now Dali Temple is like a machete. It is the mouth of the broken bamboo, if you find the right direction and master the strength, you will be as powerful as a broken bamboo."

Although Yuchi's two red eyebrows did not loosen, his attitude eased.He picked up a porcelain plate on the round table, stuffed it into Di Renjie's arms, walked towards the carved wooden door and said, "Use it up soon, time is running out, so don't delay." After speaking, he left first.

Di Renjie smiled, ate the whole meal on the plate, and took a meaningful look at the calm water in the copper basin, and followed Yuchi's footsteps to leave.

When the two arrived at the place where they were attacked last night, they were indeed heavily guarded, with a sentry at every ten steps, making a narrow alley almost airtight.

Yuchi Zhenjin saw that Di Renjie was staring blankly, smiled triumphantly and said: "How, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Di Renjie came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed his head, "I have never doubted your lord's ability."

Yuchi raised his chin in satisfaction, and asked, "What are you doing here today? Are you not going to the Ministry of Punishment to check the accounts?"

Di Renjie put down his hands, glanced sideways at the narrow alley today, and said, "Look for something that neither you nor I have seen before."

Yuchi's smile froze, and he asked: "Something you haven't seen before? Since you don't know what it is, how can you find it?"

"It's because I haven't seen it before that I want to find it." After Di Renjie said, he turned his head to look at Yuchi Zhenjin. Quickly look away before reaching your own embarrassment.

Yuchi Zhenjin was concentrating on the meaning of Di Renjie's words, but he didn't seem to notice Di Renjie's embarrassment.After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I know what your plan is, you and I will act separately, I will go up and you will go down." After speaking, he stepped on the stone pier at his feet and used his strength to fly up to the tile roof. I tapped the tiles with my toes, but there was no sound.

Di Renjie withdrew his admiring gaze, but unexpectedly saw the guards looking at him with strange expressions, then he cleared his throat quickly, and quickly lowered his head to look for clues that the black hands behind the scenes might have left.

In fact, Di Renjie didn't know exactly what he was looking for.He just thinks that the black hands behind the scenes took so much trouble to let the 'Suzaku' fly into the sky, it must not only be to create public opinion, the 'Suzaku' must have other functions.

The reason why he thought so was because Yuchi Zhenjin was poisoned with an unknown anesthetic on the roof last night - the broken wire that Yuchi chopped down with a knife.

It turned out that the thing that Yuchi Zhenjin insisted on handing over to Di Renjie after he found out that he was under anesthesia that day was the thin thread he chopped off with a knife on the roof.This kind of thin thread is as thin as a hair, but extremely tough, unfortunately Yuchi only cut off a small section, and Di Renjie couldn't determine the material used to make the thread.Furthermore, because this is a thin line, there must be something entwined at both ends of the line.If one end of the line is pulling the "Suzaku" flying into the sky, then there must be something unknown to them at the other end of the line, but this unknown may be the key to solving the case.

Di Renjie walked with his head down while paying attention to the traces on the ground. Except for some sand and dust on the ground, they were the chaotic footprints left by the soldiers. If there were any clues left, they might have been completely destroyed.

Di Renjie sighed softly, raised his head with his hands behind his back, and walked forward again.But the moment he looked up, he saw a big vat at the end of the alley.Although he didn't know what was in the tank, he could see a bright light on the wall beside the tank.It turned out that there was stagnant water in the tank, which made the sparkling waves shine on the wall.

When Di Renjie saw this, he stopped in his tracks, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his next move was to use his strength to jump over the tiles.Before standing still, he looked up.I saw a round of tomorrow gradually turning into the sky, and the place where they stood gradually became hotter.

If that's what he's thinking of, then they're running out of time!

Di Renjie hurriedly ran on the roof, and shouted at Yuchi Zhenjin while running: "My lord, look for cigarettes!"

"Smoke?!" Yuchi Zhenjin stopped on the ridge of the roof, turned around, and found that Di Renjie was also on the roof, and looked around in a serious manner.Although he was dissatisfied with Di Renjie's commanding tone, he knew that Di Renjie was so anxious that he must have thought of some clues, so he didn't care too much at this time, and just followed what Di Renjie said.With a push of his toes, he easily climbed to the taller building, still standing firmly on the ridge of the roof, looking around.

As the shadows gradually turned, both of them had a thin layer of sweat on their faces.

Di Renjie was speeding between the rooms, when suddenly Yuchi yelled: "Di Renjie, over here!" and go.

The white smoke was fleeting, if Yuchi Zhenjin hadn't discovered it in time, they would have had a hard time discovering it.When the two arrived, there was only a pile of white ash between the tile cracks.

Di Renjie knelt down on one knee, picked up the pile of white ashes with his fingertips, and said with joy: "Sure enough, there is God's will in the dark. It's lucky that he didn't find this bead falling here."

Yuchi Zhenjin was confused when he heard what he said, but Di Renjie told the truth before he asked.He put his powdered fingertips under his nose and sniffed, then said, "Sure enough, it's fire beads."

"Fire beads?" Yuchi raised two red eyebrows.

"The tribute from Linyi is as big as a chicken egg, round, white and clean, with a few feet of light, and shaped like a water essence. It faces the sun at noon, and it is ignited by Ai Chengzhi." Di Renjie clapped his hands and said, "Of course only the tribute It is the size of a chicken egg and is radiant. Ordinary fire beads are the utensils used by Linyi people to ignite fire, but they are the size of a thumb knuckle, and they are not as transparent as water spirits, and there are more than one way to burn them."

Di Renjie paused for a while, then suddenly turned around to look at Yuchi Zhenjin, made a gesture of flint and strike, and said: "There are books that say that if you hit a fire bead with a bead, it will burn instantly."

Yuchi was shocked when he heard the words. First, he admired Di Renjie's insight, and second, he admired his wide knowledge.On weekdays, the fire is lit with fire pockets. If he hadn't heard about this fire bead, he would have never heard of it.

"My lord, I'm afraid that the officials already know what kind of tricks are being played by the mastermind behind the scenes." Di Renjie smiled confidently, and said again: "My lord's injury is not fully recovered, so it's not appropriate to make big moves. Why don't you go back to Dali Temple first?"

"Di Renjie!" Yuchi Zhenjin stretched out his hand to block Di Renjie's way, and said dissatisfiedly: "You want to investigate the case by yourself without telling me?"

"No, no. It's just that my lord must fulfill his duty as the Minister of Dali Temple." Di Renjie looked at him sideways, as if there was something in his words.

Yuchi Zhenjin raised his red brows upside down, and clenched his fists tightly in front of Di Renjie.It wasn't long before he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think of me as weak. Since I don't need to go, I'll go to the Criminal Department to check the accounts."

Di Renjie smiled, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you, my lord." After saying that, he was about to take a step, but Yuchi stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm again.Di Renjie stopped abruptly and looked back at him.

"You, be careful in everything yourself, don't force yourself in." The hand that pinched the man's arm became stronger when speaking, but he didn't look back at him.

"Of order." Di Renjie replied in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yuchi Zhenjin felt relieved, and as soon as he let go, Di Renjie turned around and ran away.

Yuchi stayed on the roof for a while, and then said to himself: "Qinggong has improved a lot, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take me seriously in the future." After finishing speaking, he secretly made up his mind that when the case is settled, he must step up his practice and never Don't fall behind.

Yuchi Zhenjin struggled for a while before flying down. After landing firmly, he waved away a group of guards, and then went to the punishment department alone.

The author has something to say:
