When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

Chapter 122: The black smoke dissipates and the wreckage appears

Cheng Su said there was no need to investigate, and Hong Mingxu didn't say anything else, but the suspicion towards Xiao Yihuo in his eyes did not disappear.

Although one cannot tell the depth of a person's martial arts attainments from his Qinggong, there are very few people who have practiced Qinggong to such a level that they can use a few pieces of wood to get things on the water with ease.

If he didn't have a high talent for martial arts, then he must have practiced very hard since childhood to achieve it.

But no matter which kind it is, if you can come and go so freely, you should have some fame in the world.

There are so many people coming and going in this world, there must be someone who has seen it. It would be even more strange if there is nothing.

unless……

This person usually hides his martial arts skills.

I have followed the general in his battles for ten years. Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, once the general won a great victory and returned triumphantly to the court. He was so happy that he drank a few more cups at night and mentioned things from his youth.

The general said that when he was young and stationed at the border, before he held an important position, he once saw a man who had performed Qinggong.

Ling Feihan from Yanyue Valley.

The Moon-Shattering Valley is located in a valley a hundred miles away from the Yunqiang Kingdom. It is said that when standing in the valley one can only see the moonlight pouring down but cannot see the moon.

The Moon-shaking Valley got its name from this.

Yanyue Valley never interfered in the affairs of the imperial court or the martial arts world, so when the Northern Qi and Yunqiang Kingdom were at war, Yanyue Valley was not implicated.

The rules set by Yanyue Valley are that they do not allow people to enter the world, and the conditions for accepting disciples are also different from those outside. It is said that most of them are abandoned children who were picked up by the valley master. There is also a formation outside the valley, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.

If you are born, you can never go back.

Although the sect rules were like this, they could not overcome the young people's ambitions. They felt that their martial arts skills should not be buried. There were still a few disciples who left the sect with this idea in mind.

But the only one who truly made a name for himself was Ling Feihan.

He felt that capable people should not be buried in the valley, and should do their best to help all those in need. He also wanted to carry forward the martial arts of Yanyue Valley.

When Ling Feihan was born, Northern Qi and Yun Qiang were still harmonious on the surface. There had always been exchanges of interests between the two countries, and they had never gone to war like they do now.

Soldiers from the two countries often discussed and drank together.

It was at that time that the general met Ling Feihan.

However, Hong Mingxu didn't know whether the general had spoken to Ling Feihan.

When Ling Feihan first started out, he was already famous all over the world. He helped the weak and punished the strong wherever he went, and he would take care of even the most trivial matters.

He was always alone wherever he went and never got involved in the struggles between the court and the underworld factions, so he left an excellent reputation in the hearts of the people. Wherever he went, he was applauded and enjoyed unparalleled fame.

When the general was drunk, he would sigh that although they were of similar age, there was a huge difference between them, whether in appearance or kung fu, they were no match.

Not only Northern Qi and Yunqiang, but also many people in other neighboring countries regard Ling Feihan as the object of their admiration.

Just then, Jiang Lian'an and his group came back from rowing on the lake.

Guan Ziheng was extremely anxious when he found out that Lin Lezhi’s boat was about to sink.

Jiang Lian'an comforted Guan Ziheng and said, "With Master Xiao here, Master Lin will be fine."

When people thought there was no hope for the child, thanks to Qingchuan's efforts in treating him, the child vomited the water in his chest and regained consciousness.

Hong Mingxu retracted his gaze. Ling Feihan's style of doing things was somewhat similar to that of the now famous Jiang Lian'an, but Jiang Lian'an was still not as famous as Ling Feihan was back then.

but……

Ling Feihan, who was once so glorious, suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons after the war between Northern Qi and Yunqiang Kingdom thirteen years ago, and has never been found since.

I heard that Ling Feihan disappeared for a while twenty years ago, but not long after, he reappeared in the world.

But thirteen years ago, there was no news at all.

There are various speculations and opinions in the world.

Some people said that Ling Feihan retired from the martial arts world and returned to Yanyue Valley to take over the position of Valley Master.

Others said that Ling Feihan had found a beautiful woman, with her warm and fragrant arms, and from then on they became a fairy couple, retiring to the countryside and never caring about worldly affairs again.

There are even more outrageous speculations, saying that... Ling Feihan died on a night of war, and was overwhelmed by the army, leaving no trace of his body.

Hong Mingxu looked at Xiao Yihuo's back and thought of a possibility.

Could it be...

Ling Feihan is still alive?

After Xiao Yihuo left, Lin Lezhi looked at his face stained with dust in the lake water, then scooped up clean lake water with his right hand and washed away the black dust on his face.

Then he kept watching the speed at which water was taking in the boat, adjusted his position, and calculated in his mind how long it would take for the boat to sink.

I was also thinking, what if Xiao Yihuo didn't think I was joking and really wanted to swim back by himself?

In short, the smoke-cloud scar on the inside of the arm cannot be discovered by others.

Will I be suspected if I swim to a deserted place and then come ashore?

Looking at the calm lake, Lin Lezhi joked in his heart. Just before the boat was about to sink, the ripples around the hull overlapped several times.

"You're not going to leave, waiting to fall into the water?"

Hearing this cold and slightly teasing voice, which was much more comfortable than the delicate voice of the sickly prince, Lin Lezhi smiled at Xiao Yihuo and said, "Let's go, of course."

At the last moment before the boat sank, Lin Lezhi was safely brought back to the stable road by Xiao Yihuo.

The first-person perspective from the water is so cool.

Since you have already traveled through a book, why don't you let yourself be a martial arts master? You are still hungry and cold every day, living in hiding, worrying about what if you are really Nan Rongyi and the emperor finds out and sends people to assassinate you.

Others who travel through books bring systems with them, making a lot of money and walking with the wind, but I travel through a book without any clues, and nothing goes well for me. My life may be in danger at any time, and I am extremely poor.

Not only did he not make much money, but he was also completely ripped off by someone.

Lin Lezhi just thought he had made a killing by using his Qinggong skills to fly on water, but now he felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it.

It can't be so unfair just because I messed up the article.

……

Don't say...

It's really possible.

Thinking of this, Lin Lezhi could only sigh helplessly.

In an instant, the whole person became depressed.

Looking at Lin Lezhi's expression changing extremely dramatically, Xiao Yihuo didn't know what Lin Lezhi was thinking, but it was definitely not a good thing.

After getting some distance from Lin Lezhi, Xiao Yihuo suddenly said something for no apparent reason: "I'll tell you in advance this time."

"Ah? What?" Lin Lezhi was immersed in decadence, and was confused by this sentence.

Xiao Yihuo smiled and said without explaining: "Since you like to think so much, just think about it slowly."

say what……

"Lezhi, luckily you're okay!" Guan Ziheng ran over with a worried look on his face. His face was blackened by the smoke in many places, with some black and some white, and traces of sweat.

Lin Lezhi felt somewhat remorseful. If the situation wasn't urgent, Lin Lezhi wouldn't want to drag Guan Ziheng into taking such a risk.

Lin Lezhi smiled and responded, "How can I be in trouble? If it really doesn't work, I can still swim back. Ziheng, you were so stylish just now!"

"Really?" Guan Ziheng suddenly perked up.

"Really." Lin Lezhi nodded seriously, then took out the handkerchief in his arms and handed it to Guan Ziheng, with a suppressed smile on his face.

Guan Ziheng reacted immediately, took the handkerchief from Lin Lezhi's hand, and ran to the lake. After seeing that he looked like a big tabby cat, he couldn't bear to look at it and cried out.

Lin Lezhi was secretly happy, fortunately he had washed it in advance.

It took half an incense stick of time from the time the fire started to the time it was extinguished, and the fire on the lantern boat was finally under control.

The black smoke dissipated, revealing the wreckage of the lantern ship.

The soldier was holding something heavy in his arms, wrapped in a rag. He ran over in a hurry and presented what he had found on the boat. He looked terrified and his hands were shaking as he reported, "General, we found these from...from the lantern boat. Please take a look."
