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

As the saying goes.

If you want to survive in the world, you have to curry favor with people.

Although the whole process is unknown, there is no doubt that Xiao Yihuo will be the future emperor of Northern Qi. No matter how you think about it, it is not a loss. When Xiao Yihuo sits on the throne, who would be afraid of not having enormous wealth?

Just thinking about counting money makes people happy.

"What are you thinking about, so fascinated?"

"I was trying to count... uh... nothing..."

Lin Lezhi was so absorbed in his thoughts that he almost spoke out what was in his heart.

He was startled and quickly let go of her hand, laughing, "I just counted the years. From the time you were poisoned when you were young to now, it must have been at least fifteen years. If the poison gas you inhaled was not much, and no one has poisoned you since then, it shouldn't be so serious. Could it be... that Fu Sheng Zui was mixed with other poisons?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yihuo's expression regained some of its brightness, but then became gloomy again.

"Yes, the tiny amount of Fu Sheng Zui is not enough to take my life. It was after Master examined me that he discovered that there was another poison in my body."

"What poison?"

Xiao Yihuo shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. Master has never seen this kind of poison before. Fortunately, his inner strength can suppress it, and with the help of antidote pills, he was able to save his life. For so many years, I have been tracking down the whereabouts of the person who poisoned him."

"Did you find it?"

"We followed the clues we found and arrived at Zhouqing Town, but the clues were cut off when we reached Zhouqing Town."

"It's broken...what's the clue?"

Xiao Yihuo thought for a moment, and then seemed to have made up his mind. He then stretched out his hand to Lin Lezhi and said, "Handkerchief."

When he heard the word handkerchief, Lin Lezhi's expression was slightly stunned. The other handkerchief was still hanging next to the fire. If Xiao Yihuo asked for it from him, it could only be the one his mother left for him.

Knowing the origin of the handkerchief, Lin Lezhi's movements were somewhat flustered and stiff as he took it out and handed it to Xiao Yihuo.

Xiao Yihuo unfolded his handkerchief, and found a word "Xu" embroidered on one corner of it.

In addition to this word, there are some asymmetrical patterns embroidered on the handkerchief, as well as two black spots. The workmanship is not very fine.

"When I was young, the palace was quiet and there was nothing to play with, so my mother often entertained me with this. So before my birthday, my mother asked me what gift I wanted, and I said I wanted this."

Xiao Yihuo softly recounted the story between himself and his mother. In front of Lin Lezhi, he smoothly folded the handkerchief in his hand, then placed it in his palm and handed it to Lin Lezhi.

There is a rabbit in Xiao Yihuo's hand.

The asymmetrical and irrelevant patterns suddenly became vivid, and the two black dots were the rabbit's eyes, and the word "Xu" could be seen on one of the ears.

Although it is not fine, it shows the effort put into it.

But Xiao Yihuo just said that this is a clue?

As if seeing Lin Lezhi's doubts, Xiao Yihuo bent down and took something out from the objects on the ground, then turned the rabbit around and faced the other side of the rabbit to Lin Lezhi: "Look at it this way, and you will know."

"This is…!"

The moment he saw the pattern on it, Lin Lezhi's eyes narrowed instantly.

In one hand, Xiao Yihuo held a rabbit made with a handkerchief, and in the other hand he held the iron plate with a cloud dragon that he had found in the house of the second in command of Ya Ren Zhuang.

Although there is no dragon on the pattern where the handkerchief and rabbit overlap, it is exactly the same as the clouds on the cloud dragon iron plate.

"If this is not a coincidence, then your mother must know who poisoned her."

Xiao Yihuo said with loneliness and sadness in his eyes: "Well, but when I found out, it was more than ten years later. I was assassinated, and the assassin had the same iron plate on him. It was not until I got the iron plate in Yaren Village that I was truly sure."

Seeing Xiao Yihuo's sad eyes, Lin Lezhi comforted him, "I think your mother definitely doesn't want you to be involved in this matter, but she also doesn't want you to think that she is cruelly leaving you, so she hid the truth in the agreement with you."

Lin Lezhi's words touched Xiao Yihuo's eyes, and he slightly tightened his hand holding the handkerchief rabbit.

Lin Lezhi didn't know what else to say to comfort her, so he changed the subject and asked, "So... you just said that we should try our best to save the situation, but have you found a way to detoxify it?"

Lin Lezhi changed the subject and helped Xiao Yihuo get rid of his sad mood.

"Qingchuan then looked for ancient medical books and learned that there was a strange flower in the world that turned transparent when in contact with water and had veins like a human skeleton. It was called the bone lotus and was very effective in removing strange poisons."

"Those flowers we found in the basement?"

"Well, Qingchuan has been looking for this flower and has been to many places where it might grow, but he has never found it. The reason why I went to Yulong Village was because I heard from Yunhe that Qingchuan went to the mountains near Yulong Village, so I went there to look for him."

No wonder Qingchuan said that he had met me once near Yulong Village.

It turned out to be the case.

"Then the next day you found that this flower was what you were looking for, so you rushed to the basement, but found that all the flowers in the basement had been destroyed. So you found this place through the place drawn on the scroll."

"That's right." Xiao Yihuo looked at Lin Lezhi with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and asked, "Then why did you come here?"

"I...I..." Lin Lezhi felt a little guilty, so he just threw in the towel and said, "You have guessed my other identity, right? I...I came here with Ziheng to make a living, of course. But...how did you recognize me as Wuyouke?"

Lin Lezhi suddenly became interested and asked curiously, perhaps to ease the atmosphere.

Xiao Yihuo looked at Lin Lezhi with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, which made Lin Lezhi feel a little scared. Xiao Yihuo smiled and said slowly: "You told me that yourself."

The words fell.

Lin Lezhi's mind was struck by lightning, and he said agitatedly, "You didn't trick me last night, did you? You didn't even guess who I was, I..."

Lin Lezhi was suddenly choked up and couldn't speak. He looked as if he had lost money and was extremely shocked.

If Xiao Yihuo didn't know about this and just said it casually, but now he couldn't help but explode himself, that would be too stupid.

Looking at the colorful expressions that flashed across Lin Lezhi's face, Xiao Yihuo's mouth corners unconsciously rose again, and he said affirmatively: "Indeed, you told me yourself."

"Yes, that's right, that's what I just said, it's my own fault."

"No, it's not that you're stupid, you just forgot."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Lin Lezhi's eyes. He looked at Xiao Yihuo beside him with an expression of confusion on his face.

"You said it yourself in the dungeon of Yarenzhuang." Xiao Yihuo paused, his eyes fixed on each word as he spoke, "If you are content with your fate, you will naturally have no worries."

Lin Lezhi was stunned for a moment, and tried hard to recall. It seemed that he had indeed said this, because when he was a child, his grandfather would always tell him the meaning of the two words "Lezhi", so when he said his name, he unconsciously mentioned it.

but……

Isn’t Xiao Yihuo’s memory a little too good?

He actually remembered every word I said casually.

But it's not surprising that Xiao Yihuo even remembered what I said when I expressed that I didn't want to get involved in what they were doing.

Lin Lezhi looked at Xiao Yihuo and said, "But that was just a casual remark from me. It doesn't prove that I am Wuyouke."

"It has been three months since we parted in Zhouqing Town. Worry-Free Guest also appeared three months ago. Moreover, you are very familiar with his books and you change color when talking about him. I think... there is no such coincidence in the world."

"What if it's such a coincidence?" Lin Lezhi continued with a smile.

"When you introduced Guan Ziheng to us, you said you had known each other for three months. But the next day, you told Guo Yong and the others that you had just met at noon the previous day, and that Guo Yong and the others had also met him. Unless you were afraid that something would be exposed in front of them and wanted to cover it up, there was no need for you to give two different stories."

"Guo Yong and his group are just strangers to me. There is no need for me to tell them everything. It's not wrong for me to be a little cautious when traveling in the underworld."

Hearing Lin Lezhi's words, Xiao Yihuo no longer insisted. He looked at Lin Lezhi and said with a smile, "If you say so, then I will have to ask the people who stayed in the inn that day. I believe they will tell me the answer."

"you…!"

Knowing that it was useless to continue the stalemate, Xiao Yihuo was very good at countering the opponent's moves.

But since he had already let the secret slip, there was no need for him to go around in circles with Xiao Yihuo. It was not a secret that needed to be kept.

The reason why he chose to sell books with Guan Ziheng in this way was because his identity was unknown and special, so it would not be easy to be noticed.

Duan Hongzhi, the third leader of the broker village, once told him that many people in the underworld wanted to kill Jiang Lian'an. Before Xing Tianqi ended his life, he pinched his own neck and said that it was all his fault.

Say……

I shouldn't be living in this world.

He didn't dare to gamble.

If they were discovered and someone really came to kill him, in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were just strangers, and Guan Ziheng could cut off his relationship with him at any time and would not be implicated by him.

"I came here to find out my identity. I want to know who I really am, but..." Lin Lezhi smiled and pretended not to care and said, "It seems that it is not necessary now."
