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

The people dispersed one after another, leaving only the ignorant man standing there, with a smile on his face.

Jiang Lian'an had already walked up the stairs, but then fell back. Although the man looked stupid, his clothes were clean and his hair was combed meticulously. He did not look like a homeless person.

Jiang Lian'an raised a faint smile and asked with a smile: "Aren't you going home, or are you waiting for someone to pick you up?"

Seeing Jiang Lian'an turning around to talk to him, the smile on the man's face became brighter. What happened just now seemed to have no effect on him at all. His memory was still on the agreement between him and Jiang Lian'an.

The man pointed to the sky, jumped happily and said, "Big brother, do it again, do it again, huh... huh~ bang——!"

The man was simulating what happened when Jiang Lian'an fell from the roof.

Jiang Lian'an looked at the passers-by, none of whom seemed to know the boy. After thinking for a moment, he followed the man's wishes and asked, "If your family hasn't come yet, it's cold at night. Do you want to come in and wait? We can play together later."

"Okay... okay! Let's play for a while!" the boy said while jumping, and then entered the lobby of the inn under the guidance of Jiang Lian'an.

Cheng Su took a look and although there was some displeasure on his face, he didn't say anything. He waved his hand to call Hong Mingxu over and whispered something in Hong Mingxu's ear. Hong Mingxu immediately walked out of the inn.

The people who were having dinner in the lobby didn't dare to say anything for fear of getting into trouble. They just paid the bill with the waiter and left in a hurry.

Only a small number of diners were left. Probably because they were staying in the inn, they lowered their heads and ate the food in front of them in silence, not daring to make any too much noise.

Liu Yunhe did not come back after the excitement just now. Qingchuan was worried that something might go wrong, so he followed him. Only Xiao Yihuo was left sitting in the lobby.

Xiao Yihuo still sat at the table and ate calmly.

Cheng Su was stationed outside the Great Wall all year round and would only go to the palace when he returned to the court to report. Xiao Yihuo had been living in the inner palace before the crown prince was established. After the crown prince was established, he moved to the palace in Shaotian City, and then went to his fiefdom, Linnan Prefecture.

I had never met Cheng Su before.

If I hide at this time, it will only attract Cheng Su's attention.

Xiao Yihuo took a sip of the tea in the cup, looked out the window, waiting for them to come back from outside.

The beggar limped towards a less crowded place. The people around him looked at him with sympathy. Some people felt sorry for the beggar and put a lot of copper coins in his hands, saying, "Thank you, thank you..."

"You're welcome. Use the money to buy something to eat."

"Yeah, it's really pitiful. Look how skinny he is."

As the number of people around him dwindled, the beggar slipped out and turned into an alley, tidying up his messy hair behind his head. Even though his face was smeared with mud, it could not hide his handsome face.

Lin Lezhi shook the dozens of copper coins in his hand and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Could it be that I really have the talent to be a beggar? I easily earned dozens of cents with my acting skills. But my butt is really suffering. I have suffered many times since I came to this world. I was either kicked, pulled or pushed.

I fell down just now and scratched the palm of my hand. Although it is a very small wound, it still hurts.

Lin Lezhi was only wearing a single garment. He shook his hands lightly, and the tattered and loose sleeves slid down an inch, revealing the smoke and cloud pattern on his forearm.

Lin Lezhi looked at the scar carefully when he was alone. It was real, and it was definitely not a new scar. It was indeed an old wound.

Apart from this, there were no other scars on his body.

There was a complex look in his eyes for a moment, and then Lin Lezhi dropped his sleeves to cover the scar on the inside of his arm, and walked in the other direction of the alley.

Halfway through his walk, a sword stretched out from the side, blocking Lin Lezhi's way. Lin Lezhi smiled awkwardly, turned around and wanted to walk in another direction, but was stopped by the extended sword handle again.

"I didn't expect that being a beggar suits you." The man said sarcastically.

With such clean and neat moves, such an unforgiving tone of voice, and the purple sword border wrapped around the hilt, who else could it be but Liu Yunhe.

Lin Lezhi sighed lightly, pushed the hilt outward, looked at Liu Yunhe beside him, and said jokingly: "Hey kid, if you really want to keep someone, you should at least use the sword body. Using a hilt is not intimidating."

Liu Yunhe pressed the hilt of the sword back again, and used gravity to push Lin Lezhi against the wall beside him. The wall was uneven and had many bumps. His back hit the cold and hard wall, causing pain.

This little brat hasn't grown up yet, but he's really strong, and he learned a bad temper from someone.

He just said that he had no other scars on his body, but now he has these. It really shows that whatever you fear will come true.

I was pushed away twice in one night. I don’t know if I was unlucky or deserved it.

"It's enough to use the hilt of the sword to deal with you. You are not worthy of me drawing my sword. And..." Liu Yunhe corrected with hidden displeasure: "If you call me a brat again, believe it or not, I will cut off your tongue and make you unable to speak again."

"Oh my, even if you give me a hundred courage, I would not dare to offend Young Master Liu. But..." Lin Lezhi pretended to be mysterious and did not continue.

"But what?"

"You just said I was not worthy of you using your sword. Why do you want to cut off my tongue for just saying you are a brat? I don't have any other weapons. I guess I can only use your sword. Young Master Liu's sword is too easy to use."

"You...!" Liu Yunhe pressed the sword on Lin Lezhi's shoulder and increased his strength. This time, not only his back hurt, but also his collarbone was painful.

Lin Lezhi looked at Liu Yunhe and said calmly, "I spoke to Young Master Liu in the same way in Zhouqing Town before. Why is it that Young Master Liu is acting out of character towards me after not seeing him for three months? Is there anything I did wrong that made Young Master unhappy?"

Liu Yunhe clenched the sword tightly, and the strength in his hand increased uncontrollably. However, when he saw Lin Lezhi's slightly frowned brows and the slight inhalation from his nose, he relaxed a little, but still said with hidden anger: "Stop talking so smoothly, tell me, did you do it?"

Lin Lezhi took a deep breath, his eyes firm and calm as he said, "No, although I don't know what you are talking about, and I don't know what happened to you after I left, but no matter what you want to ask, it's not that."

After hearing Lin Lezhi's answer, Liu Yunhe's eyes, which were filled with anger, became less sharp, but he still asked in an unbelievable tone: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Let me ask you, if a person wants to harm someone, would he put himself in a disadvantageous situation?"

"But who knows, you might use this to get yourself out of this situation."

Good boy, you have learned your lesson now. Lin Lezhi sighed and said directly, "What I said in Zhouqing Town is not a lie. I told you that I will not do anything that is harmful to your son."

Hearing this, Liu Yunhe's eyes flashed with surprise, and he blurted out: "How do you know it's... No, don't even think of getting that from me."

Looking at Liu Yunhe's vigilant expression, Lin Lezhi smiled helplessly and said, "Apart from your son, who else could make the heroic Young Master Liu so angry? Also, not only can I see that it's your son's business, I can also see that you actually still believe in me in your heart."

Liu Yunhe panicked for a moment, then his anger subsided by half. He snorted angrily and said, "That's just your fantasy. I don't believe you."

Lin Lezhi raised a barely perceptible smile and said in a tone that sounded like he was coaxing a child: "Then why did you point the hilt of your sword towards me? Fortunately, I'm not your enemy. If it were someone else, they would have pulled out their sword and stabbed you. Come on, take the sword away quickly! It's killing me!"

'Is it true that as Lin Lezhi said, I believed in Lin Lezhi in my heart, so I subconsciously used the hilt of the sword to block it instead of the sword body?' Liu Yunhe thought silently in his heart. Although he couldn't figure it out, Liu Yunhe still moved the sword away with doubt.

The sword was removed, Lin Lezhi rubbed his collarbone that was hurt, raised his eyes and saw Liu Yunhe's somewhat guilty look, Lin Lezhi took his hand away and said to ease the pain: "Okay, stop standing there, tell me what's going on."

But Liu Yunhe still didn't know whether he should tell everything, after all, this was related to the safety of the prince.

Lin Lezhi understood and said, "In fact, even if you don't tell me, I know whether there is a problem in the basement."

Liu Yunhe looked at Lin Lezhi in surprise. The look in his eyes had already admitted everything. Lin Lezhi took a deep breath and explained slowly: "You are not sure it is me, but you can't find anyone else who is suspicious. It can only be that there is a problem in the place that your son and I know about."

"Brother Lezhi is right."

Lin Lezhi and the others looked in the direction of the sound, and Liu Yunhe shouted as if he had seen a savior: "Brother Qingchuan!"

Qingchuan walked up to Liu Yunhe and smiled, then looked at Lin Lezhi and said, "Just as Brother Lezhi said, there was a problem in the basement. We cannot tell you everything about Yihuo for the time being, so I hope Brother Lezhi will understand."

"What I can tell Brother Lezhi now..." Qingchuan said with a serious look in his eyes, "All the flowers in the basement have been destroyed, and these flowers are closely related to the disaster."

Destroyed?

Lin Lezhi's expression was slightly gloomy. After they left, other people entered the basement.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Lezhi looked at Qingchuan and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Qingchuan, for believing in me and telling me the truth."

While Lin Lezhi was speaking, Qingchuan observed Lin Lezhi's face and body shape, and immediately noticed Lin Lezhi's shoulder. He said with concern, "Brother Lezhi, are you injured?"

Qingchuan pulled Lin Lezhi to a relatively bright place, took a look at Lin Lezhi, and found that Lin Lezhi's left arm was torn, his shoulder was injured, and there were broken skin.

Hearing this, Liu Yunhe's heart tightened for a moment. He glanced at Lin Lezhi's shoulder in self-blame, then immediately shifted his gaze elsewhere, saying with guilt in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so reckless and got you hurt."

"I'm sorry, Brother Lezhi, it's because of Yihuo that Yunhe is so anxious. It's not intentional. Please don't blame Yunhe, Brother Lezhi."

Lin Lezhi smiled and shook his head, and said with a look of complete understanding: "I understand, it's just a minor injury, it will be healed in a few days."

"Thank you, Brother Lezhi, for forgiving Yunhe, but even if it's a minor injury, you can't be careless." Qingchuan took out a small bottle of ointment and handed it to Lin Lezhi, saying, "Brother Lezhi, go back and clean the wound. You can apply this ointment to the affected area and it will heal after a while."

Lin Lezhi looked at the medicine bottle that Qingchuan handed over, lost in thought for a moment, then looked at Qingchuan and said, "Thank you very much. May I borrow something else from Brother Qingchuan?"

Qingchuan was puzzled and asked, "What is it?"

As soon as he walked out of the alley, Lin Lezhi heard a sad voice.

"Lin-Le-Zhi!"

Lin Lezhi was so frightened that he hid behind her with a look of serious trouble on his face. As he hid, he said, "Ziheng, listen to my explanation. I took your food for a reason."

The situation was urgent just now. Lin Lezhi took the food from Guan Ziheng's hand and exchanged it for this coat from the beggar.

Guan Ziheng grabbed Lin Lezhi's shoulders and said angrily, "Can you say hello to me first next time? Do you think I can't recognize you? There are so many people here, why do you have to be a hero?"

“Hiss——!” Lin Lezhi said with a smile: “I won’t do it next time. Besides, if I don’t try to be a hero, how can we still know each other?”

Noticing something was wrong with Lin Lezhi, Guan Ziheng let go of Lin Lezhi's shoulders, pulled open his loose coat, and found that Lin Lezhi's shoulder was injured. He said in panic, "Why is he injured again?"

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, it won't be a big deal, it will be healed in a few days." Lin Lezhi took out the dozens of coins from his pocket and gave them to Guan Ziheng, pushing Guan Ziheng and said, "Aren't you hungry? Let's go buy some more food."

"Don't change the subject, I'm asking you a question." Guan Ziheng said unhappily.

"Let's go, let's talk about this when we get back. Go with me and change out of this outfit first. It's too cold."

"A hero is afraid of the cold? You deserve to freeze to death!"
