Chapter 39 Suspicions are thick
Wuji Building.
In front of everyone's eyes, I saw that Li Wuji put his hands full of shampoo directly on his face, and then kept rubbing them, and then wisps of white smoke slowly emitted from his fingers, as if his face had been splashed with sulfuric acid!
Dillon, who followed Li Wuji down the stairs, and Ji Wushuang, who was standing aside, couldn't help but widen their eyes and show worry when they saw this scene.
Leng Yue stood in place, staring at Li Wuji deadly, not daring to blink his eyes.
After a long time, I saw that Li Wuji's face was already covered with white foam, and then I saw Li Wuji plunge into the basin of water, stirring the water to wash all the foam off his face.
Immediately afterwards, Li Wuji slowly raised his head, picked up the handkerchief on the edge of the basin and wiped his wet cheeks, and turned his head to look at Leng Yue, who was stunned and disappointed, and a hint of a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Impossible..."
Leng Yue clenched her fists, shook her head, and muttered unwillingly.
"Lord Leng, can you see clearly, am I the one you want to hunt down and kill?"
Li Wuji looked at Leng Yue and asked playfully.
Looking at Li Wuji who had not changed at all, not only Leng Yue couldn't believe it, but even all the people in the Five Elements Division who were standing behind Leng Yue also showed a face full of surprise.
"Whoever goes to the heavenly prison will be a Ling disciple, and a mark of the word 'Ling' will be engraved on the back of his neck, turning his neck around!"
Leng Yue hesitated for a moment and shouted again.
"Still won't give up?"
Li Wuji looked at Leng Yue and asked in a deep voice, the smile on his face gradually disappearing.
"What?! Don't you dare?! ”
Leng Yue held the hilt of the sword in her right hand and asked coldly.
Li Wuji didn't refuse, snorted lightly, turned around slowly, aimed his back at Leng Yue, and gently pulled open his collar, revealing his neck.
I saw that above his neck, the skin was flat, not to mention any words, not even a mole.
Seeing this scene, Leng Yue was directly stunned in place, looking at Li Wuji in disbelief, with a complicated expression.
"Lord Leng, are you satisfied?"
Li Wuji slowly turned around, sorted out his clothes, looked at Leng Yue, and asked expressionlessly.
"You're innocent!"
"Let's go!"
Leng Yue gritted her teeth, said a word unwillingly, turned around and walked out.
"Slow!"
But Li Wuji shouted loudly, and stopped and prepared to leave Leng Yue.
"Lord Leng, we just said it, is Lord Leng, who is the envoy of the Five Elements Division, going back on his word?!"
"If this news spreads, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the adults, right?"
Li Wuji put his hands behind his back and said with a sneer.
Hearing Li Wuji's taunt, Leng Yue's face instantly became extremely gloomy.
"Xue Wan!"
Immediately afterwards, I saw Leng Yue reach out and take out a money bag from her arms, throw it on the table with her backhand, and shout loudly.
Xue Wan on the side gritted his teeth and bowed to Li Wuji.
"I offended a lot just now, and I hope my son will forgive me!"
Xue Wan gritted his teeth and said as he saluted, his voice almost trembling.
As the head of the Five Elements Division, he had never groveled to people so much.
"Very well, I forgive you."
Li Wuji raised his hand and said with a smile, his face full of pride.
"Let's go!"
Leng Yue shouted, no longer lingering, and left Wuji Building with his subordinates without looking back.
Seeing that all the people of the Five Elements Division walked out of Wuji Tower, Ji Wushuang and several small servants hiding in the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The upstairs and downstairs rooms also slowly opened, and the geisha and children walked out one after another, looking at Li Wuji with admiration.
Among these people, including Pang Xiaoxiao, whose injuries have not yet healed, but her expression is more grateful and curious than admiration.
Li Wuji glanced at Dillon and dismissed the Heavenly Secret Agent lurking outside the Wuji Building, and at the same time, Cao Zi'an also returned to the Wuji Building with the young man.
"Childe, are you alright?"
Cao Zi'an walked up to Li Wuji, bowed, and asked with concern.
Li Wuji shook his head, glanced at the young man, and turned to walk upstairs.
Cao Zi'an glanced at the young man and hurriedly followed.
Away from the infinite room.
"Childe, this brother's name is Lu Yuan, his father used to follow the lord for many years, but later died in the pursuit of the imperial court, and since then, he has wandered the world and hidden in the rivers and lakes."
"In the past ten years, he has been looking for famous teachers everywhere, learned a lot of martial arts, and has been by my side.
Cao Zi'an pointed to the cold-faced young man beside him and slowly introduced.
"My subordinates have seen the young master!"
When Cao Zi'an's voice fell, the cold-faced young man named Lu Yuan immediately saluted and said respectfully.
"Get up, in the future, you can be like Lao Cao and them, just call me Gongzi."
Li Wuji glanced at the young man and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes!"
Lu Yuan agreed, got up and stepped aside.
"Childe, I just received the news that Liyanghou was killed last night, and the whereabouts of the murderer are unknown."
Cao Zi'an hesitated for a moment and said.
Hearing Cao Zi'an's words, Li Wuji couldn't help frowning, revealing a hint of surprise.
Liyang Hougui is a relative of the emperor, although he is not an orthodox royal family, but he is also a member of the maternal line of the empress, and he is in a high position, even if he has no official position and real power in the court, it is not something that ordinary people dare to move.
And after the chaos in the Night Feather Palace, he was suddenly killed, no matter how you say it, it seems a little strange.
Those who dare to kill him, I'm afraid there are not many people in the entire capital!
Don't?!
Thinking of this, a person's name suddenly flashed in Li Wuji's mind, but the last thing he wanted was this person to do it.
In fact, Liyang Hou was just a tool he used, he could have directly led people into the Night Feather Palace and directly snatched the little junior sister.
But the reason why he did this through Yuan Bin was to deal with today's situation, if he really grabbed people directly, then it would be confirmed that he and Pang Xun must have a lot of relationship, then there would be no way to continue to stay in this capital.
However, with the help of Liyanghou's identity to enter the Night Feather Palace, and then ransom the little junior sister with a lot of money, the nature is different, even if someone suspects, there will be no evidence.
In addition, he had just proved in front of Leng Yue that he had not undergone a disguise, and even the "Ling" character mark that symbolized the identity of Ling had disappeared, so no one would be able to recognize him as "Li Wuji" from now on!
The people in the imperial court knew that Pang Xun was good at disguise, but they didn't know that there was a disguise technique that directly frustrated bones and skin grafts to change their face!
That's why he kept himself in his room some time ago, and he also set up a screen at the door, so he didn't see anyone!
Everything was going according to his plan.
...
Cloud Palace.
In the main hall.
Leng Yue knelt on the ground respectfully, looking nervous, and didn't even dare to raise her head.
"You mean, he's not disguised?!"
The empress glanced at Leng Yue coldly and asked casually.
"Returning to the empress, it's true, Weichen let him use the washing solution in front of everyone, there is nothing abnormal, and there is no mark of Ling on his body."
Leng Yue bowed and said unwillingly.
The shampoo she spoke of was from the hands of a warlock, and if a transfiguring person used it to wash his face, his face would instantly fester!
"That means this person is not detached?"
The empress said as she lowered her head and flipped through the recital.
"It looks like it is..."
"However, this person behaves perversely, and he suddenly rose in just half a month, and he still can't find out the origin, so he still can't take it lightly, even if he is not from Wuji, it is very likely that he has nothing to do with Wuji!"
Leng Yue nodded, and then said categorically.
"Enough!"
"Since it is planted in the hands of others, don't force the words, from today on, without my will, you are not allowed to move Wuji Tower!"
"The rest is left to Taiqing."
The empress snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly.
"Yes."
Leng Yue moved her lips, and wanted to argue, but in the end she could only compromise.
Immediately, Leng Yue said goodbye to the empress and slowly retreated.
But what made her a little puzzled was that there seemed to be something different about today's empress than in the past.
In the past, whenever she mentioned the word Li Wuji, she would inevitably be angry, but today she had an illusion that when she mentioned Li Wuji and Wuji Lou just now, the empress was very calm.
After watching Leng Yue withdraw from the main hall, the empress tilted her head slightly, glanced at the corner of the hall not far behind her, and a trace of an inexplicable smile flashed at the corner of her mouth.
I saw a black shadow in the corner, and it disappeared in a flash...
