Di Renjie bit the tail of the dart with his teeth, pulled it out suddenly, and a burst of blood burst out, splashing Di Renjie's face full of blood, Li Mingda also screamed because of the severe pain, but she only screamed once, and then forcibly held back, her head was covered with beads of sweat.

Di Renjie took the dart from his mouth and looked at it, wiped away the blood spots on his face, and said happily: "Fortunately, this dart is not very long, and it should not hurt the internal organs." ”

Then he took out the gold sore medicine bottle from his arms, unscrewed the cork and looked at it, and found that it was very dry inside, and the gold sore medicine was not damp because he fell into the water.

After the bandaging was completed, it was getting late, Di Renjie took out a cloth bag from his arms, and after untying it, there were four baked cakes inside, but they had been soaked in water, and they were a little rotten, he took out a baked cake and handed it to Li Mingda, and said, "Princess, eat whatever you want." ”

Li Mingda smiled gratefully, took a bite of the baked cake, and asked curiously, "You actually brought dry food with you?" ”

Di Renjie smiled embarrassedly: "I'm used to it, I used to always go out to investigate cases, I didn't have time to eat, I carried dry food and water bladders with me, and I ate a bite when I was hungry." As he spoke, he had already untied the water bladder from his waist and handed it to Li Mingda, who was not polite, took it and pulled the plug and drank it.

After she finished drinking, she suddenly remembered that this water bladder belonged to Di Renjie, and he must have drunk it before...... As soon as she thought of this, she immediately blushed again.

Di Renjie was so smart, seeing her embarrassed appearance, he guessed her thoughts, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, princess, when I drink water, I pour it into my mouth and don't touch my mouth." ”

"Really?"

"Well, really."

Li Mingda was relieved and asked, "Do you Dali Temple often investigate cases?" ”

Di Renjie said: "This is our duty in Dali Temple, now the humble position is Dali Temple, there are fewer opportunities to go out to investigate cases, I used to often go out to investigate cases, and it is good to stay in the temple for seven days a month." ”

"It's so hard." Li Mingda said while eating baked cakes, "Anyway, it's okay now, can you tell me about some interesting cases you have investigated?" ”

Di Renjie smiled bitterly: "Most of the investigations in the lowly position are murder cases, how can it be interesting." ”

Li Mingda frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "Murder, don't talk about it, it's bloody." ”

Di Renjie nodded and sighed, "Brothers cannibalize, husband and wife cannibalize, father and son cannibalism, I've seen a lot of these ugly things in the world, Di really had the idea of quitting Dali Temple." ”

Li Mingda said: "If you leave Dali Temple, then there will be many murderers at large, and you can bring the bad guys to justice, in fact, this is also a good thing." ”

Di Renjie said: "The princess's idea is unique to the lowly position, and the lowly position does not dare to brag, but in the investigation of the case, the lowly position still has some ability to ask himself, which is also the reason why the lowly position has always refused to leave the Dali Temple, fortunately ......"

"What are you doing?" Li Mingda asked curiously with a pair of big eyes.

Di Renjie said: "Fortunately, since last year, the people's lives have been much better, and the number of cases received by Dali Temple this year has decreased by nearly half, all thanks to the new tax system implemented by King Qiongnan." ”

Li Mingda was happy for a while when she heard this, and when she heard others praise Li Hao, she was so happy that she grinned happily.

Di Renjie saw her laughing, although he didn't know the reason, but it was inconvenient to ask, after all, everyone's identity was very different, so he could only laugh lightly together.

After laughing for a moment, Li Mingda said: "Thanks to the blessing of King Qiongnan, the life of the people of the Tang Dynasty will get better and better, and then your Dali Temple will be idle." ”

"If that's really the case...... Di Renjie looked yearning and said slowly, "I will leave Dali Temple if I am lowly and degraded." ”

"Leaving Dali Temple? Where are you going? Li Mingda asked.

Di Renjie's vision was far-reaching, and he said leisurely: "Like King Qiongnan, be a useful person to the Tang Dynasty, benefit the people and the country." ”

Li Mingda nodded again and again when he heard this, Di Renjie has such great ambitions, which is the true character of a man in the Tang Dynasty, and he is slightly similar to Li Hao.

The two chatted and chatted, it was dark, and there were bursts of wolf howls in the mountains, Di Renjie heard the wolf howl, and immediately frowned, this wolf howl seemed to be very close, wolves are quite sensitive to the smell of blood, they just splashed a little blood here, I don't know if it will attract the wild wolf, Li Mingda was a little scared, it was the first time she heard such a terrible wolf howl, as if it was close at hand, she felt her heart hairy, and couldn't help but shrink to the corner of the wall.

The cave was pitch black, and only a little moonlight from the cave entrance could faintly see a human figure, Di Renjie felt that Li Mingda seemed to be trembling slightly, so he moved to her side, and said warmly: "Don't be afraid, princess, Di Renjie is guarding here, princess, please go to bed with peace of mind." ”

"Hmm." Li Mingda nodded lightly, after hearing his words, she really felt a lot more relieved, her body didn't tremble, leaned against the wall, and slowly closed her eyes.

However, the sound of the wolf's howl was getting closer and closer, and Li Mingda couldn't help but open his eyes again, and asked worriedly: "Master Di, the voice is getting closer and closer." ”

Di Renjie comforted again: "Don't worry, princess, the lowly will not leave you every step of the way, if the wolf comes, the lowly knife will let them know that it is powerful." As he spoke, he slowly drew his knife.

Hearing his words and the sound of the knife drawn, although Li Mingda was still scared in his heart, at least he was not jumping as wildly as before.

After a long time, there was a rapid rustling sound outside the cave, and two vicious wolves appeared at the entrance of the cave and howled into the cave.

Li Mingda was so frightened that his heart reached his throat when he saw this, at this moment, the two wolves were only eight feet away from them, and under the moonlight, their fur seemed to be exuding silver glow.

"Don't be afraid, princess, it's just two beasts." Di Renjie stood up with a knife, put on a posture, and stared coldly at the evil wolf.

The two wolves lingered at the entrance of the cave for a while, and then they both walked towards the cave, Di Renjie saw this and suddenly stepped forward, a knife slashed, "bang" sound, one of the wolves was stabbed in the head, and then fell to the ground and wailed and screamed, sprinkled with blood all over the ground, and the other wolf had jumped up extremely fast, biting Di Renjie's neck, Di Renjie didn't have time to return the knife, resisted with his left arm, and the wolf bit Di Renjie's left arm and did not let go.

Di Renjie took the opportunity to stab the wolf in the stomach, the wolf immediately let go of its mouth, Di Renjie kicked it away, and both wolves struggled and wailed at the entrance of the cave, and they all died in a short time.

Seeing this, Li Mingda was finally relieved, and hurriedly said, "You were bitten." ”

Di Renjie raised his arm and looked at it, as if he had been bitten by a dog, it was bloody, but fortunately, the wild wolf only bit it, and it didn't hurt his muscles and bones, so he smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's just a little skin injury." He bandaged the wound at random, then took out a trap from the bag around his waist, arranged it at the entrance of the cave, covered it with weeds, and said, "Princess, I have arranged a trap at the mouth of the cave, so that you don't go out of the cave, lest I hurt you by mistake." ”

"Hmm." Li Mingda nodded and asked worriedly, "Will there be other beasts?" ”

Di Renjie smiled lightly: "Don't worry, princess, there are only these two vicious wolves in this mountain, where there are wolves, there are generally no other beasts, I do this, just in case." ”

Sure enough, there were no more beasts attacking and disturbing her, but Li Mingda was still uneasy and didn't dare to sleep, and in the second half of the night, she was so sleepy that she finally couldn't hold on, and fell asleep against the cave wall unconsciously.

Two hours later, it was dawn, Di Renjie didn't rest well this night, but he was used to it, he used to go out to investigate the case, he often stayed awake all night, as soon as the morning dawned, he walked out of the cave, skinned the corpses of the two wild wolves, shaved off the internal organs, and then cut the meat into pieces and wrapped them in wolf skin, wolf meat is a good thing, at the moment he doesn't know how long he wants to stay in this deep mountain, he must prepare more food, just in case.

He had just wrapped the mutton and got up to go back to the cave, when he suddenly saw a figure running quickly towards this side, it was the person who chased them yesterday, and the person who also saw Di Renjie was stunned, and then rushed towards this side.

Di Renjie's mind was in a hurry, he wanted to lure this person away, but the cave was next to it, and it would definitely be discovered, so he gave up his plan to lure this person away, rushed directly to the cave, woke up Li Mingda, and said urgently: "Princess, the gangsters are coming!" Let's run! ”

Li Mingda's face turned pale with fright when he heard this, and he hurriedly got up, Di Renjie directly picked her up on his back, and rushed out of the cave, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that the person was only ten zhang away from here.

Di Renjie frowned suddenly, at such a close distance, he would not be able to escape even if he was alone, let alone carrying a person on his back, his mind suddenly rushed back to the cave.

Li Mingda asked urgently: "What are you doing again?" ”

"Shhhh Di Renjie made a silent gesture to her, then pulled out his Tang knife and stood guard in the cave.

Soon, a figure appeared at the mouth of the cave, this person was the Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Wu stood outside the cave, holding a sword and smiling at Di Renjie, smiling fiercely.

Di Renjie tightened his hand holding the knife, he was very nervous, but he was very calm on the surface, looked at Senior Brother Wu, and said coldly: "It's not too late to rein in the precipice." ”

Senior Brother Wu sneered: "Don't fart, this whole mountain is surrounded by the government, I have no way to escape, only by taking the princess as a hostage, can there be a glimmer of life, if you know each other, I can let you go, hurry up and get out, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless under the sword!" ”

Di Renjie crossed his chest and shouted coldly: "If you want to touch the princess, step on Di's corpse first!" ”

"Hey, hey." The corners of Senior Brother Wu's mouth lifted lightly, and he sneered, "There are no masters in Dali Temple, your martial arts, Lao Tzu has not yet taken it into his eyes, since you are killing yourself, then it is no wonder that I am not surprised." ”

As he spoke, he strode into the cave and stepped over the trap at the entrance of the cave.

Di Renjie was so disappointed, the reason why he chose to hide in the cave was to use the trap as a trap to catch the other party off guard, but he didn't expect this person to take a big step, and he actually stepped over without stepping on the trap, Di Renjie knew that he and the princess were probably more than lucky today.

Di Renjie stepped forward directly, swung his knife and slashed at the other party, Senior Brother Wu snorted coldly, raised his sword to open Di Renjie's knife, raised his foot and kicked, the speed was extremely fast, all the movements were done in one go, such martial arts are definitely first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, as a registered disciple of Yuan Tiangang, he has been guided by Yuan Tiangang, and it is not surprising that he can reach the realm of first-class masters.

Di Renjie was kicked upside down and flew out, hit the wall of the cave, opened his mouth and vomited blood, and collapsed to the ground, barely able to get up again.

"Humph! The mantis arm is a car, and it is not self-sufficient. Senior Brother Wu snorted coldly again, stepped forward and grabbed Li Mingda's arm, and dragged her out.

"Let go of me! Let go of me......" Li Mingda struggled and shouted, but it was useless, he was still dragged out by Senior Brother Wu.

"Let her go!" Di Renjie struggled to get up, holding a Tang knife and staggering to step forward to stop it.

At this moment, there was a "click" sound, and then Senior Brother Wu gritted his teeth and let out a painful scream, he stepped on the beast trap, and his entire left foot was caught by the beast trap.

Li Mingda saw that he was caught in the trap of the beast, and took the opportunity to bite him fiercely on the wrist, Senior Brother Wu gritted his teeth again and roared, suddenly turned around and glared and shouted: "Little slut!" Look for death! He was already furious at the moment, so he didn't care what hostages were not hostages, and he directly slashed at the top of Li Mingda's head with a sword.

Di Renjie's heart trembled when he saw him take out the sword, and rushed forward with all his strength, raising the knife with both hands, and the sound of "dang chang" shook his arm numb, but he still opened the long sword, and at the same time smashed Li Mingda with his body, blocking in front of Li Mingda.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Wu's anger increased, and he glared and shouted: "Look for death!" As he spoke, he stabbed a sword at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie couldn't dodge at this moment, and he didn't have time to swing the knife to block, at the critical moment, he could only bend his legs slightly, sinking his body by more than two inches, avoiding the vital point in his chest, "poof" with a muffled sound, the long sword mercilessly pierced Di Renjie's left chest, but did not stab the heart, but stabbed ten centimeters above the heart, close to the collarbone.
