Chapter 38 Clues
Seeing the expressions of his subordinates change from shock to eyes shining, Li Xuanzhi fell silent.

He couldn't help but wonder, how did he fancy the two of them alone among a group of orphans?

Obviously at that time, the eyes of these two people were still filled with the ferocious desire to survive. Now, the eyes of these two people who had been raised in the palace would only light up at this time.

So, he thought he was looking for two wolves, but it turned out to be two stupid rhubarbs?
Looking at the appearance of these two people now, they are really no different from the Wangfu in the eldest nephew's yard——

It's not good at looking after homes and homes, but it's best at eating meat and melons.

Li Xuanzhi coughed heavily.

Nan Lu and Yue Jian came back to their senses and saw Li Xuanzhi looking at them expressionlessly. They felt a chill on the back of their necks and hurriedly saluted together, "My subordinates are incompetent. They came late and the master was frightened! "

"Ha, you did come late enough." Li Xuanzhi looked at them with a smile, "If Miss Su hadn't saved me, I'm afraid you two would have collected my body, right?"

Nan Lu and Yue Jian lowered their heads and said, "Subordinates don't dare. Master, please calm down."

Secretly, both of them curled their lips.

Yesterday, the obviously willful master refused to take them with him when he went out, and even said that he would call them with a bone flute if they were in danger.

But they waited from dawn to dusk, and not only did no news come from their master, but the sound of the bone flute never sounded either.

They were so anxious that they searched the entire imperial capital last night. If it weren't for being too conspicuous, Uncle Li might have brought the guards of the royal palace to look for it.

At this time, Suhua looked over the heads of Nanlu and Yue Jian into the yard. The birds that had been frightened had all fallen down again at some point, but there was still no naughty figure of Cha Bao playing with the birds.

She couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yue Jian, did you see a cat in the house yesterday? It was civet color, with green eyes, and it had a piece of the prince's jade in its mouth."

When Yue Jian heard Su Hua ask her, she thought carefully and shook her head. Finally, she turned to look at Nan Lu, who also shook his head.

Su Hua's face turned completely pale, and Li Xuanzhi's face also darkened.

Li Xuanzhi squeezed Su Hua's wrist with his hand, and said solemnly, "Please tell me in detail how it left yesterday and where it went."

"Cha Bao was going to find someone at Prince Huai's Mansion yesterday, and then you vomited blood. Oh no, you vomited blood first, and then..."

Seeing that Su Hua was a little incoherent, Li Xuanzhi looked into her eyes and said quietly, "It's okay, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly, the more things you can say, the better."

Li Xuanzhi's voice was low and steady, and Su Hua's heart, which had been on edge, slowly returned to its original position.

She looked into Li Xuanzhi's eyes for a while, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She kept thinking about yesterday's situation in her mind. Made it clear.

Nanlu and Yue Jian also heard clearly what happened. Yue Jian frowned and said, "Master, were you attacked yesterday? Then how do you feel now..."

"I have nothing to do now." After Li Xuanzhi replied, he turned to look at Nanlu and said, "Nanlu, do you hear me clearly? In a moment, you will accompany Miss Su to find her cat to protect her safety. Bring back my piece of jade too.”

Nan Lu clapped his hands and said yes.

Su Hua stood up after hearing the sound, and after giving a solemn thank you to Li Xuanzhi, she prepared to follow Nan Lu and walk out.

At this time, Li Xuanzhi turned to look at Yue Jian again and said, "The two men in black deliberately ambush me in the alley yesterday. They seemed to know clearly that I would take this alley."

As soon as these words came out, Yue Jian and Nan Lu's eyes became sharp.

"So, Yue Jian, go investigate this matter." Li Xuanzhi was silent for a moment before speaking again, "Besides, I heard these two people speak with a vague accent from the north."

Su Hua turned around and looked at Li Xunzhi in surprise. Yesterday, she saw that he was already breathing more out than in. She didn't expect that she could still notice the accents of the two men in black.

Suddenly, she thought of the black cloth and long knife that Cha Bao brought back yesterday. She turned around and hurriedly took these two things out of the cabinet and placed them in front of the moon.

"These are the belongings of the two men in black who attacked the prince yesterday. The black cloth is the material of their clothes, and the long knife was taken away by one of them before they could take it away."

Yue Jian hurriedly bowed to Su Hua, thanked her in a low voice, and then took it.

Su Hua waved her hands and then followed Nan Lu out.

Yue Jian looked at the knife carefully for a long time, frowned and said, "This square-blade knife does look like a knife used by Lin Hu people. There is no decoration or engraving on it, and the material is not considered to be of high quality."

She put down the knife, thought for a moment and then said, "Master, you just said that those two people have northern accents, so my subordinates suspected that they should be Linhu people."

"It's just that all the clues match up so well. I always feel like there's something weird somewhere. It seems to be deliberately leading us to think about the Linhu people."

"Yes, there is one thing I didn't say just now." Li Xuazhi lowered his eyes, paused for a moment, and said coldly, "Although those two people used knives, when I forced them to panic, all they used were sword moves. "

"And they cooperated very well. Each sword struck exactly at the vital gate of my sword move!"

Yue Jian suddenly opened her eyes wide, "But Master, your sword moves are not..."

"Yes, even you have never seen my complete sword moves."

The wind in the yard blew through the shade of the trees, and the hot air blew into the house. The room was even cooler. Li Xuanzhi raised his hand and put a fist on his upper lip, and coughed violently.

Yue Jian hurriedly turned around to pour him a glass of hot water, but Li Xuanzhi raised his hand to stop him.

While coughing, he continued, "I have seen, ahem, seen me, ahem, there are only three people in the world who have perfected my sword skills."

"One person is currently lingering in the woods, fearing that his time is numbered, one is working as an idle prince in the prosperous south of the Yangtze River, and there is another..." Li Xuanzhi's eyes were full of self-mockery, "Sitting in a high position, but he has not let me I don’t want to wait any longer for the poison to develop.”

Yue Jian's heart froze, but she couldn't accept these words. She knelt down in front of Li Xuanzhi and said in a low voice, "Master, be careful that walls have ears..."

Li Xuanzhi didn't say any more. Yue Jian heard him laugh bitterly after being silent for a long time, silently tightening his lips.

The wind blew through the small courtyard, and the birds in the courtyard flew away without knowing where they were. It was so quiet that the only sound left was the rustling of leaves.

"That's all, let's follow these clues first."

After a long time, Li Xuanzhi coughed twice again, "Just in time, let's find out all the dirty tricks we discovered a few days ago."
