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

Last night, when Lin Lezhi and Xiao Yihuo came back, Liu Yunhe had already gone to bed. The next day, he got up early and dressed neatly at Jiang Lian'an's door at dawn, vowing to settle accounts with Jiang Lian'an and get things clear.

No matter where he was going, he couldn't go.

Liu Yunhe was so angry that he knocked on the door with more force.

After knocking several times without any response from Jiang Lian'an, Liu Yunhe simply pushed the door open and said sarcastically as he walked in, "Jiang Lian'an, what time is it? Why haven't you gotten up yet? You still have the nerve to accuse me of being a lazy bed-sitter, you..."

Liu Yunhe's proud expression froze on his face, and his expression turned into panic, his eyes quickly scanning every corner of the room.

Not to mention the person on the bed, even the quilt was tidy and looked untouched, and there was only a bundle on the table.

Because of this bag, Liu Yunhe's eyes brightened a little. He thought that Jiang Lian'an was just going out temporarily, otherwise he would not have left the luggage here.

Liu Yunhe held the sword, crossed his arms, snorted, sat down next to the bag and said angrily: "I'll sit here and wait for you to come back. When you come back, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

Can……

Liu Yunhe sat there for two hours, and when it was almost 9 o'clock, Jiang Lian'an still hadn't come back from outside.

Liu Yunhe felt that something was wrong, and hurried to search all the breakfast stalls in Zhouqing Town, but he did not find Jiang Lian'an. When he returned to the inn, the waiter just came out from the back hall.

Liu Yunhe stepped forward to stop the waiter. Because he was anxious, he asked in a forceful tone, "Where is the guest who lives in Room 3?"

The waiter tried to recall, then said "Oh" and said, "You mean Mr. Jiang? He left the inn last night and I haven't seen him come back."

"Are you sure it's him?"

"I remember the distinguished guest who lives on the second floor clearly. Yes, it is Mr. Jiang."

Liu Yunhe didn't believe it and said, "Last time my young master came back, you didn't recognize him."

The waiter smiled awkwardly and said, "I was indeed shortsighted last time. Besides, the situation was different then." The waiter changed his expression and said affirmatively, "Although I was half asleep last night, I woke up immediately when someone came downstairs. I can guarantee that it was Master Jiang."

"why?"

The waiter responded without hesitation: "Because among the distinguished guests on the second floor, only Master Jiang's clothes are tattered. They are incomparable to yours. He even has a carved wooden hairpin on his head."

"Also, when Young Master Jiang left last night, he seemed very anxious and staggered. I opened the door for him, and he bumped into the door when he went out. He asked me for a lot of wine last night, so he must have been drunk."

The waiter described what happened last night in vivid detail.

"He went out drunk, didn't you ask him what he was doing?"

"Oh, how dare I ask what the guest is going to do? Why don't you go back to your room and wait, maybe Mr. Jiang will come back by himself in a while."

After Qingchuan got up, he found that Jiang Lian'an's door was open. He went in and saw that there was no one in the room, so he went downstairs and saw Liu Yunhe talking to the waiter.

"Yun He, what happened? Why is Brother Le Zhi not here?" Qingchuan asked.

Seeing Qingchuan, Liu Yunhe walked forward and said unhappily, "Brother Qingchuan, I don't know where Jiang Lian'an has gone. I haven't settled the score with him yet."

Qingchuan thought for a moment and realized something was wrong. He looked towards the second floor and said, "A Huo should have woken up at this time in the past. Why is he still not awake today?"

In an instant, Liu Yunhe's eyes were filled with panic. He went upstairs as quickly as possible and pushed the door open without knocking.

Liu Yunhe's heart skipped a beat when he found Xiao Yihuo lying on the bed with a pale face and sweat on his forehead. Qingchuan immediately stepped forward to feel Xiao Yihuo's pulse.

According to what the waiter said, Liu Yunhe said angrily: "It must be Jiang Lian'an who did it. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find him back."

"Don't be impulsive." Qingchuan stood up and held Liu Yunhe and said, "The poison in Yihuo's body has recurred. Brother Lezhi didn't know that Yihuo was poisoned. It must be unintentional. The most important thing right now is to treat the prince."

Liu Yunhe also understood what was the most important thing at the moment, but Liu Yunhe had no knowledge of medicine, so he could only wait on the side. It would be great if he could be like Chi Feibai, who not only knew martial arts but also medicine.

Qingchuan fed Xiao Yihuo medicine to suppress the poison and gave him acupuncture. Only then did Xiao Yihuo's condition gradually improve.

After an incense stick of time, Xiao Yihuo opened his eyes, sat up, and used his internal energy to suppress the poison in his body.

This is usually the case when the poison is about to take effect, but I drank too much last night and my consciousness was scattered, so I couldn't suppress it, and now my head still hurts.

However, it is still early for the outbreak, how could it be...

"Prince, you're awake!" Seeing Xiao Yihuo waking up, he happily came to the bed and said.

Qingchuan went forward to check on Xiao Yihuo's condition again. After confirming that there was nothing serious for the time being, his expression eased up. He looked at Xiao Yihuo and asked, "Ahuo, you would not lose your sense of proportion before. What happened this time? Why did the poison take effect earlier this time?"

Qingchuan didn't mean to blame him, but his eyes were full of worry.

Xiao Yihuo shook his head to show that he didn't know the reason, then lowered his eyes and said slowly: "I was drunk for a moment. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"I'm glad you're okay. By the way... Brother Lezhi seems to have left."

Hearing this, Xiao Yihuo raised his eyelids and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He remembered that Jiang Lian'an told him last night that they could talk about anything tomorrow, and said that he helped him because he wanted to repay him for saving his life in Yulong Village.

Before Jiang Lian'an stepped out of the room for the last time, he seemed to say something. What was it?

Xiao Yihuo shook his still swollen head and tried hard to recall.

"gone."

Xiao Yihuo's pupils shrank slightly, and then he smiled as if mocking himself. So this was what Jiang Lian'an meant by leaving. It seemed that asking him to drink was also a deliberate plan.

You're afraid that if you don't get drunk you won't be able to leave, right?

Indeed, we can't let our guard down against him.

Just by looking at Xiao Yihuo's expression, Qingchuan was able to tell something, and slowly said, "It seems you know."

Xiao Yihuo nodded, then looked at the two and said, "Did he leave anything behind?"

"A package was left behind. I'll go get it." After saying that, Liu Yunhe ran swiftly to the room where Jiang Lian'an had been and took the package on the table.

The bag is very light and feels soft.

Xiao Yihuo put it on the table and opened it. His eyes became even darker than before.

Liu Yunhe came forward to take a look and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, isn't this your clothing? How come it is with Jiang Lian'an?"

It was indeed his clothes, the one he lent to Jiang Lian'an in Yulong Village.

It seems that he really wants to break up with me completely.

It doesn't matter, they are not the same kind of people anyway.

"It was temporarily placed with him before, he just returned it."

Hearing this, Liu Yunhe nodded in confusion.

Xiao Yihuo looked at Liu Yunhe and asked, "Before you and Jiang Lian'an went out yesterday, you were still wary of him. Why did you change your attitude towards him after you came back? What happened?"

"This..." Liu Yunhe's eyes were a little evasive, and he hesitated whether to tell what happened yesterday.

It was because of Xiao Yihuo's question that Liu Yunhe remembered that Jiang Lian'an had said that he was leaving, but he didn't know why he chose to leave in the middle of the night.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Yunhe felt that there was no outsider here, so he told everything about what happened when he went to Mr. Tian's place yesterday morning.

After finishing speaking, Liu Yunhe said without much confidence: "This is what happened. I wanted to tell the prince as soon as I came back, but Jiang Lian'an asked me not to tell him for the time being, saying that it was for your own good."

Qingchuan thought for a moment and said calmly: "It seems that Brother Lezhi does know what kind of situation we are facing. If he is really a person with amnesia, I don't think he can understand so much after just a few days of getting along with him."

"Or... according to common sense, even if I knew, I should choose to protect myself. Why should I help you hide it again and again?"

Qingchuan smiled and refuted his own words, "However, Brother Lezhi is indeed a strange man. He is not bound by the world and cannot be judged according to common sense. Maybe it is just like what is circulated among the people. He just did what he wanted."

Qingchuan looked out the window and said, "It's rare to be worldly-wise without being worldly-wise. If Brother Lezhi hadn't left in a hurry, I really wanted to have a good chat with him."

Liu Yunhe stood aside and pondered for a while, then said, "I think he must have really lost his memory. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense for him not to know the world-famous Chi Feibai. He told me yesterday that if I had the opportunity to enter the Tiandi Pavilion, he wanted me to introduce him to the Tiandi Pavilion."

"People like this who travel the world alone have their own integrity. If they hadn't lost their memory, they wouldn't have said such a thing."

Qingchuan lowered his eyes and smiled, "I also hope that Brother Lezhi has really lost his memory. This way, many things won't be so complicated, and I won't have to judge others by my own standards."

Hearing this, Liu Yunhe looked flustered, and waved his hands quickly, saying, "Brother Qingchuan, that's not what I meant."

Qingchuan smiled and said gently: "I know you don't mean that. I just think too much. Now the most important thing is to save your body. We have also been delayed here for quite some time. We should set off as soon as possible to find medicine that can suppress the poison in the prince's body."

While Qingchuan and Liu Yunhe were talking, Xiao Yihuo had already changed his clothes. When he heard Qingchuan talking about the medicine, Xiao Yihuo turned around and said, "By the way, Qingchuan, there's something I want to show you."

"what?"

Xiao Yihuo took out the things he found in the basement last night and displayed them in front of the two of them.

"These things were found in the basement of an abandoned house. Qingchuan, do you know what this flower is called?"

Qingchuan picked up the flower and examined it carefully, then sniffed it. A pleasant fragrance came from the tip of his nose. Then Qingchuan's face lit up and he said excitedly, "This is the strange flower recorded in the medical books, the bone lotus. It is also the flower we are looking for. It is very effective in treating the poison in Yihuo's body. It may be this flower that caused the poison in your body to react."

"But this flower is plain in appearance, and is no different from ordinary wild flowers. How can it be a rare flower?" Liu Yunhe asked puzzledly.

"I'll do this and you'll understand."

Qingchuan took the teacup, poured a glass of water into it, and then put the flower into the teacup. As soon as the flower fell into the water, it disappeared, and only the pale yellow stamens and the green stem underneath could be seen.

Liu Yunhe came forward to take a look and exclaimed, "Why did this flower disappear? It melted when it came into contact with water?"

Qingchuan smiled and said, "The flower is not gone." As he spoke, Qingchuan took the flower out of the teacup. After being touched by water, the flower became transparent and crystal clear, which was indeed a rare thing in the world.

One cannot help but marvel at the wonders of nature.

Liu Yunhe looked at the miraculous changes in front of him that seemed like magic, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, so amazed that he was speechless.

Qingchuan couldn't hide his joy and patiently explained, "This flower becomes transparent when it comes into contact with water, revealing the patterns inside. Because of its intricate patterns, which resemble a human skeleton, it is called the bone lotus."

Liu Yunhe also said happily: "That's great, Your Majesty, your illness can be cured!"

Qingchuan looked at Xiao Yihuo and said, "Yihuo, you said that Brother He Lezhi found it in the basement. How many are there in the basement?"

Xiao Yihuo thought for a moment and said, "There are probably about seven or eight pots."

"Ahuo, there is no time to lose, we will go immediately."

But when the three men arrived at the basement, all the bone lotuses in the basement had been destroyed, turned into dead branches, and emitted a foul stench.

Qingchuan's expression darkened, and he looked at Xiao Yihuo and said, "Yihuo, are you sure that you and Brother Lezhi were the only ones who came here last night?"

Not many people can enter this basement room, and the timing of Jiang Lian'an's departure was really a coincidence.

Liu Yunhe kicked the flowerpot beside him and broke it, saying angrily: "I knew that Jiang Lian'an had no good intentions, but I still trusted him so much. If I see him again, I will make him pay!"

At this time, Lin Lezhi, who was walking on the road, sneezed, leaned against a big tree and sat down to rest for a while.

Last night, we really did end up hurting the enemy by a thousand while also hurting our own eight hundred.

I didn't expect that I couldn't drink alcohol in this condition.

After leaving the inn, Lin Lezhi vomited and vomited for a long time before he recovered a lot from the drunkenness. However, his steps were still unsteady when he walked.

Also, I didn't eat anything last night, I just drank, and I don't have any money on me now. I really don't know what this strange detective is doing here.

I've seen people roaming around in the world, but I've never seen anyone roaming around like this.

It’s too poor.

Fortunately, when I was vomiting last night, I happened to pass by the place where the people of the abandoned house lived. The people of the abandoned house heard the noise and came out. Knowing that I had to leave, they gave me some dry food, so I didn’t starve to death on the roadside.

Sure enough, being a good person does have its benefits.

Lin Lezhi quickly finished a steamed bun, but he couldn't bear to eat the rest, so he put it away carefully.

Lin Lezhi looked around and had been walking for such a long time, but he didn't see any towns or villages.

After resting for a while, Lin Lezhi stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and decided to continue on the road. At least he had to find a place to stay before sunset.

The three of them came up from the basement with calm eyes. Qingchuan said without giving up, "Fortunately, Ah Huo, you brought back a flower last night. We are not completely without gain. Besides, we still need time to confirm whether this flower is effective as medicine."

Liu Yunhe clenched his fists and said angrily, "Anyway, don't let me see him again."

Xiao Yihuo's eyes were gloomy and his face was stern, but he didn't say anything.

At this time, the painting on the wall attracted Qingchuan's attention. Qingchuan pondered for a moment, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and said: "If this was really done by Brother Lezhi, then I think we will definitely meet again."
