Chapter 542: Lay the life to the rescue
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 with blood. Li Mingda also screamed because of the severe pain, but she just screamed, and then she forced herself to hold it over, her head full of sweat.
Di Renjie took the dart from his mouth and looked at it, wiped away the blood spots on his face, and said with gratitude: "Fortunately, this dart is not very long and should not have hurt the internal organs."
Then he took out the golden sore medicine bottle from his arms, unscrewed the bottle plug and looked at it, and found that it was very dry inside. The golden sore medicine was not damp because of his fall into the water. He secretly thanked again and began to apply medicine to Li Mingda and then bandage it.
After the bandaging was over, it was getting late. Di Renjie took out a cloth bag from his arms. After untiing it, there were four sesame cakes inside, but they were soaked in water and were a little rotten. He took out a sesame cake and handed it to Li Mingda, and said, "Princess, eat whatever you want."
Li Mingda smiled gratefully, took the Shaobing and took a bite, and asked curiously: "You actually carry dry food with you?"
Di Renjie smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm used to it. I used to go out to investigate the case. I didn't have time to eat. I carried a dry food and water bag with me. I would take a bite when I was hungry." As he spoke, he had already untied the water bag from his waist and handed it to Li Mingda. Li Mingda was not polite, so he took it and pulled it open and drank it.
After she finished drinking, she suddenly remembered that this water bag belonged to Di Renjie and must have been drunk by him before... When she thought of this, she suddenly blushed again.
Di Renjie was so smart. Seeing her shy look, he guessed what she was thinking and quickly explained: "Don't worry, princess, when I drink water, I always pour it into my mouth without touching my mouth."
"really?"
"Yeah, take it seriously."
Li Mingda felt at ease and asked, "Do you Dali Temple often investigate cases?"
Di Renjie said: "This is the responsibility of our Dali Temple. Now the position is the chief of Dali Temple. There are fewer opportunities to go out to investigate the case. In the past, I often went out to investigate the case. It would be great if I could stay in the temple for seven days a month."
"It's so hard." Li Mingda said while eating sesame cakes, "Anyway, there's nothing wrong now. Can you tell me what interesting cases you've investigated?"
Di Renjie smiled bitterly and said, "Most of the things that Bei Zhi investigated are murder cases, how could it be interesting?"
Li Mingda frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "It's better to stop talking about the murder case, it's bloody."
Di Renjie nodded and sighed, "Brothers are tragically tragically tragically, husbands are tragically tragically tragically, fathers are tragically tragically tragically. I have seen many ugly things in the world. Di really has the idea of quitting Dali Temple."
Li Mingda said: "If you leave Dali Temple, then there will be many murderers who will go to justice and can bring bad people to justice. In fact, this is also a good thing."
Di Renjie said: "The princess's idea is the same as that of Hu Zhi. Hu Zhi dare not boast about it, but when investigating the case, Hu Zhi still has some skills. This is also the reason why Hu Zhi has refused to leave Dali Temple. Fortunately..."
"What's the good thing?" Li Mingda asked curiously with his big eyes open.
Di Renjie said: "Fortunately, the people's lives have been much better since last year. This year, the cases received by Dali Temple have been reduced by nearly half. All of this is due to the new tax system implemented by King Nan of Qiong."
Li Mingda was happy when she heard this. When she heard others praise Li Hao, she was happy and grinned.
When Di Renjie saw her laughing, although he didn't know the reason, he was inconvenient to ask. After all, everyone's identities were very different, so he could only smile with him.
After laughing for a moment, Li Mingda said, "Thank you for the blessing of King Qiongnan, the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty will get better and better. Then your Dali Temple will be free."
"If that is true..." Di Renjie looked at him and said slowly, "I will leave Dali Temple."
"Leave Dali Temple? Where are you going?" Li Mingda asked.
Di Renjie had a deep vision and said leisurely: "Like King Qiongnan, be a person who is useful to the Tang Dynasty, benefit the people and seek benefits to the country."
Li Mingda nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Di Renjie had such great ambitions, which was the true nature of a man in the Tang Dynasty, and was somewhat similar to Li Hao.
As the two chatted, it became dark, and there were waves of wolf howling sounds in the mountains. When Di Renjie heard the howling sound of wolf, he immediately frowned. The sound of wolf howling seemed to be very close. The wolf was quite sensitive to the smell of blood. They had just splashed a little blood. I wonder if it would attract the wild wolf. Li Mingda was a little scared. This was the first time she heard such a shrill wolf cry, as if it was close, and she felt her heart furrowed and she couldn't help but shrink to the corner.
The cave was pitch black, and only a little moonlight that was thrown into the cave entrance was faintly seen. Di Renjie felt that Li Mingda seemed to be trembling slightly, so he moved to her side and said warmly: "Princess, don't be afraid, Di Renjie is here to protect him. Princess, please sleep with peace of mind."
"Yeah." Li Mingda nodded slightly. After hearing his words, she felt much more at ease. She stopped shaking and leaned against the wall and slowly closed her eyes.
However, the sound of the wolf howls gets closer and closer, Li Mingda can't help but open his eyes again and asks worriedly: "Mr. Di, the voice is getting closer and closer."
Di Renjie comforted again: "Princess, don't worry, Bei Zhi will stay in front of you. If the wolf comes, Bei Zhi's knife will let them know its power." As he spoke, he slowly pulled out the knife.
Hearing his words and the sound of drawing swords, although Li Mingda was still scared, at least he was no longer as violent as before.
After a long time, a rustling sound came from outside the cave. Two evil wolves appeared at the entrance of the cave and howled into the cave.
Li Mingda was so scared that he was so scared that he was in his throat. At this moment, the two evil wolves were only eight feet away from them. Under the moonlight, their fur seemed to be emitting silver light.
"Princess, don't be afraid, just two beasts." Di Renjie stood up with a knife, put on his posture, and stared at the evil wolf coldly.
Two evil wolves wandered around the entrance of the cave for a moment, and then walked towards the cave. Seeing this, Di Renjie suddenly stepped forward and slashed hard. With a "crack", one of the wolves was stabbed in the head, and then fell to the ground and screamed, sprinkled with blood all over the ground. The other wolf had already jumped up very quickly and bit Di Renjie's neck. Di Renjie had no time to return the knife and resisted it with his left arm. The evil wolve bit Di Renjie's left arm without letting go.
Di Renjie took the opportunity to stab the evil wolf in the stomach. The evil wolf immediately let go. Di Renjie kicked it away. Both evil wolfs struggled and wailed at the entrance of the cave, and they all died within a moment.
Seeing this, Li Mingda finally felt at ease and hurriedly said, "You were bitten."
Di Renjie raised his arm and looked at it, as if he had been bitten by a dog, and was covered with blood. Fortunately, the wild wolf only took a bite and did not hurt his muscles. So he smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, it's just a little skin injury." He bandaged the wound casually, then took out a trap from the cloth bag on his waist, arranged it at the entrance of the cave, and covered it with weeds, saying, "Princess, I have arranged a trap at the entrance of the cave. Don't go out of the cave, so as not to hurt you by accident."
"Yes." Li Mingda nodded and asked worriedly, "Will there be other wild beasts?"
Di Renjie smiled faintly and said, "Princess, don't worry, there are only these two evil wolves in this mountain. Where there are wolves, there are generally no other wild beasts. I do this just in case."
Sure enough, no more wild beasts came to harass her next, but Li Mingda was still worried and dared not sleep. By the second half of the night, she was so sleepy that she finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep unknowingly against the wall of the cave.
Two more hours passed, and it was dawn, and Di Renjie didn't rest well that night, but he had already gotten used to it. When he went out to investigate the case, he often stayed asleep. When it was dawn, he walked out of the cave, peeled the bodies of the two wild wolves, cut them out of the internal organs, and then cut them into pieces of meat, wrapped them with wolf skin. Wolf meat is a good thing. At present, he doesn't know how long he wants to stay in this deep mountain, and he must prepare more food just in case.
He had just packed the mutton and got up to go back to the cave. Suddenly, he saw a figure running quickly here. It was the one who chased them yesterday. The man also saw Di Renjie and was stunned, and then ran towards him.
Di Renjie's thoughts turned sharply. He wanted to lead the man away, but the cave was right next to him and would definitely be discovered. So he gave up on the plan to lead the man away, rushed directly into the cave, woke Li Mingda up, and said anxiously: "Princess, the bad guy is chasing him! Let's run away quickly!"
Li Mingda was so scared that his face turned pale when he heard this. He quickly got up. Di Renjie directly carried her on his back and rushed out of the cave. In a blink of an eye, he saw that the man was only ten feet away from here.
Di Renjie frowned immediately. At such a close distance, even if he was alone, he probably couldn't escape, let alone carrying a person on his back. With a sudden change of mind, he suddenly rushed back into the cave.
Li Mingda asked anxiously: "What are you doing when you are back?"
"Shh, princess, don't talk." Di Renjie made a gesture to silence her, then pulled out the Tang sword and guarded it in the cave.
Soon, a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. This person was Senior Brother Wu. Senior Brother Wu stood outside the cave, holding a sword in his hand and smiling at Di Renjie, smiling very ferociously.
Di Renjie tightened his hand holding the knife. He was very nervous, but he seemed very calm on the surface. He looked at Senior Brother Wu and said coldly: "It's not too late to stop the horse on the cliff."
Senior Brother Wu sneered: "Don't fart anymore. The entire mountain is surrounded by the government's troops. I have no way to escape. Only by taking the princess as a qualifier can there be a glimmer of life. If you know the truth, I can let you go. Get out of here quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!"
Di Renjie crossed his chest and shouted coldly: "If you want to touch the princess, step over Di's body first!"
"Hehe." Senior Brother Wu raised his lips and sneered, "There is no master in Dali Temple. I haven't taken your martial arts seriously yet. Since you are seeking death, I can't blame me."
After saying that, he stepped into the cave and stepped past the trap at the entrance of the cave.
Di Renjie was very disappointed. The reason why he chose to hide in the cave was to use the trap as a trap and catch the other party off guard. Unexpectedly, this person took a big step and actually stepped over and did not step on the trap. Di Renjie knew that he and the princess would be in danger today.
Di Renjie took a step forward and slashed at the opponent with a knife. Senior Brother Wu snorted coldly, lifted the sword grid and kicked Di Renjie's sword, and kicked it with a very fast speed. All movements were done in one go. Such martial arts are definitely a first-class master in the world. As Yuan Tiangang's registered disciple, he was guided by Yuan Tiangang, and it is not surprising that he can reach the level of a first-class master.
Di Renjie was kicked and flew backwards, hit the cave wall, opened his mouth and vomited blood, collapsed to the ground, and was almost unable to get up again.
"Hmph! The mantis arm is a car, overestimating his ability." Senior Brother Wu snorted coldly again, stepped forward and grabbed Li Mingda's arm, and dragged her outward.
"Let me go! Let me go..." Li Mingda struggled hard 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 sword in his hand and wanted to go forward to stop him.
At this moment, a "click" sound was heard, and then Senior Brother Wu gritted his teeth and let out a painful cry. He stepped on the trap, and his entire left foot was caught by the trap.
Seeing that he was caught by the trapped beast, Li Mingda took the opportunity to bite him hard on his wrist. Senior Brother Wu gritted his teeth again, and then turned around and stared at him and shouted: "Little bitch! You are looking for death!" He was already angry at this moment, so he didn't care about whether he was hostage or not. He directly slashed Li Mingda's head with one sword.
Di Renjie's heart trembled when he saw him taking the sword. He rushed forward with all his strength. He raised the knife with both hands. The "clang" sound made his arms numb, but he still drove the long sword and at the same time, he knocked Li Mingda away with his body and blocked Li Mingda in front of him.
Seeing this, Senior Brother Wu became even more angry and glared and shouted: "Looking for death!" He said that, and stabbed Di Renjie with a sword.
Di Renjie could not dodge at this moment, and there was no time to swing the knife to block it. In the critical moment, he could only bend his legs slightly, sink his body for more than two inches, avoiding the vital points of his chest. With a muffled "puff", the long sword pierced Di Renjie's left chest mercilessly, but did not stab the central part, but stabbed ten centimeters above the heart, close to the collarbone.
