"Your Majesty, you don't know who she is?" The old Taoist smiled in surprise.
Then, "Your Majesty, do you think she is just a prostitute who sells meat?"
"A promiscuous woman is on the Red Sleeve List, and she still beats An Zhiyi, the number one female gentleman in Dafeng?"
"Look at the women on the Red Sleeves list. Which one is not a world-famous person?"
Li Yi's eyes narrowed and his expression changed slightly.
He knew that Ni Yao'er was from the Jianghu community, but he didn't know who she really was.
But through contact with her, I also know that she is very capable.
And his background is very strong, even Mr. Yan is afraid of him.
The old Taoist asked, "Your Majesty, did you see Ni Yao'er buried in the sea of fire with your own eyes?"
Li Yi shook his head, "When I boarded the flower boat, I did not see Ni Yao'er in person. I only saw a burnt corpse on the cabin."
The old Taoist smiled, it was clear. He glanced at the body and said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, this woman is cunning by nature, maybe this is her trick."
"She must be deliberately covering up something and pretending to be dead."
"However, the person who can make Ni Yao'er hesitate to fake his death is probably not ordinary."
Li Yi nodded and pointed the finger directly at Mr. Yan. Ni Yaoer had not hesitated to fight against Mr. Yan in order to help him.
Could it be that he was deliberately avoiding Young Master Yan, or was this the result of Young Master Yan setting fire to Ni Yaoer's plan?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, she won't die."
The old Taoist smiled with great confidence, "The poor Taoist met her for her. She has a very good face and a tough destiny. She is the kind of destiny that will bring disaster for thousands of years."
Judging from his tone, he seemed to have a hard time dealing with Ni Yao'er.
When the others heard this, they looked at each other in confusion, as if they were dismissive of the old Taoist's words.
Nowadays, people judge their talents based on their appearance. If Li Yi didn't know someone with such virtue as an old Taoist, he would have been beaten out with a stick long ago.
Cao Qingyan has read countless people, and he can naturally see that this old Taoist is definitely not an ordinary person, but the same cannot be said for others.
Someone whispered beside Li Yi, "Your Majesty, you can't believe this guy's words. Seeing his behavior, he is just a charlatan."
"Yes, Your Majesty, he should be a charlatan. Such a person should be caught and tortured so that he will not dare to lie to others again."
Li Yi smiled and said nothing. Yes, this guy is a magician, but he still has some moral integrity.
Let's put it this way, he's very imaginative and cunning.
But one thing was that he was very accurate in what he said.
And it's accurate.
After a moment of silence, Li Yi's expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed: "Even if the person is not dead, will he be captured by someone?"
Cao Qingyan and the others suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, staring at the old Taoist.
The old Taoist was also stunned, touched his goatee, and frowned slightly as usual, "It's possible, I don't rule out this possibility, but as a witch, if you dare to catch her, and if you can catch her, you must have a good background. "
"There's bullshit!" Li Yi yelled, his veins bulging out in anger, "A bunch of beasts dare to touch my woman, no matter who he is, I won't cut him into pieces and cut him into pieces with a thousand knives." give up!"
Hearing this, everyone present, including the old Taoist, all trembled.
The old Taoist was the first to react, with a wicked smile on his face, "Your Majesty, what did you just say, that she is yours?"
Li Yi's eyes were bright, "Why, can't my friend do it?"
"Yes, why not?"
"Don't call me a friend, just your woman."
The old Taoist's little eyes narrowed out of habit, and a meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
One is an emperor whose fate is Taohuawu, and the other is a witch who brings disaster to the country and the people. Will they be friends?
That kind of friend?
Are you a friend who only cares about your kidneys and not your heart?
Li Yi looked at the old Taoist's appearance and said doubtfully: "If you have something to say, you have to fart!"
"Hey, Your Majesty, Lao Tao really can't hide anything from Your Majesty. To be honest, Ni Yao'er stole one of Lao Tao's treasures. Since she can't be found, can I ask Your Majesty to return it to you?"
He had a sly smile on his face. He originally thought that Ni Yao'er faked his death and fell into the world, so this treasure was completely useless.
No, now that His Majesty has jumped out and admitted that he is Ni Yaoer's friend, how can he let him go so easily?
No matter what, it would be nice to get a little interest back.
Li Yi glared at him fiercely, turned around and walked to the river, ignoring him.
This was obviously an attempt to renege on the debt. If it had been anyone else, they would have let it go.
But who is the old Taoist, the famous hob meat in the world, who will care about that.
He stumbled over and followed, "Your Majesty, take a look at the debt Ni Yao'er owes. Is it time for you to pay it off?"
Li Yi rolled his eyes at him and ignored him at all. He stared at the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp on the river and shouted: "Keep searching and see if you can find any useful clues."
"promise!"
But the old man still asked impatiently, "Your Majesty, are you..."
"Ma Chen!" Li Yi yelled, "Let your people continue to go down the river. How can there be nothing on such a wide river!"
"If you can't find any clues, you don't have to do anything anymore, just go home and take the baby!"
This time, the old man finally shut up.
No matter how hard he is with a knife, he doesn't dare to provoke Li Yi. Now His Majesty's face is filled with murderous intent. Maybe the knife will fall on his head.
No one knows better than him what kind of character he has today. Behind it is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. One person more than him is not more, and one person less than him is not much.
Hundreds of people rode in boats and soaked in the water to salvage. There were only fragments of wood and corpses. Unfortunately, no clues were found.
"Trash, a bunch of trash!" Li Yi yelled angrily, "What's the point of raising you? Keep looking!"
"promise!"
Wei Ziya was also scared and panicked, and quickly directed the water ghosts in Dali Temple to continue diving to search.
Li Yi squatted by the river and sighed sadly. It would be great if he had a "white general" at this time. It would relieve his sorrow and boredom, and his brain would still be clear.
Just then, something dark and sticky floating on the river attracted his attention.
"Someone, collect the things on the river."
"No!" Wei Ziya, the minister of Dali Temple, looked very serious. He ran to the river himself, filled some in a basin, and brought it to Li Yi, "Your Majesty, here you go."
Li Yi looked at the stuff in the basin. It was similar to grease, but not grease. It had a pungent smell, and by the way, it smelled like gasoline.
"What is this? Does anyone know it?" Li Yi raised his head and asked.
Wei Ziya then replied: "Your Majesty, this thing is called fierce fire oil. It's not unusual. It is produced in our Gale Dynasty. However, this thing is mixed with the fat of wild beasts and ignited with flames. It is difficult to extinguish."
The old Taoist on the side also thought to himself: "If this thing is refined seventeen or eighteen times, it can be burned as firewood for alchemy, and the flame will be extremely high."
Li Yi felt that this thing was very familiar, and he had seen it somewhere in his previous life.
Just as he was wondering, Ma Chen on the side suddenly interjected, "Your Majesty, this thing is very rare and has even fewer civilian uses. It is mostly used by the military. Apart from the reserves in major military camps in the capital, only some merchants have it. .”
Hearing this, the burning light from Li Yi's slightly opened eyes was extremely sharp, "Come here, immediately control all the merchants selling fierce fire oil in the capital!"
Ma Chen and the others still looked puzzled and froze on the spot.
Li Yi frowned, "To be able to burn such a large flower boat instantly, the amount of fire oil used must be huge. As long as we find out who has recently purchased the fire oil in large quantities, we can follow the clues and find out what happened behind the scenes. The black hands are out!"
Everyone nodded and praised, Your Majesty is really smart.
"Your Majesty, this is a little inappropriate. There was a mutiny just yesterday. If the people's hearts that have just been appeased cause panic again, I'm afraid it will..." Someone couldn't help but worry.
Li Yi's face turned angry, "Now that the matter has come to this, panic is all that matters. Why should I be afraid of panic? Sooner or later, the people will understand my good intentions."
Everyone's hearts trembled and they didn't dare to say anything more.
Li Yi suddenly realized that something was wrong, raised his eyebrows, and immediately ordered, "Ma Chen, go and investigate quickly. All troops and horses will be sent out. I am worried that if the enemy reacts, they will kill people and silence them in advance and destroy the evidence."
"By the way, when you find a certain merchant, don't alert him first. I think the enemy will come to your door sooner or later."
Looking at the dark, fierce oil on the water, he suddenly smiled and said, "I remember, it's oil!"
