West.

Blacksmith's shop.

"How many shadows like you have been arranged?"

After pondering for a long time, Li Wuji looked at Jiang Ziqing and asked seriously.

"My subordinates don't know."

Jiang Ziqing glanced at Cao Zi'an beside him, shook his head, and looked a little dazed.

"You don't know?"

Li Wuji looked at Cao Zi'an again, stared at Cao Zi'an's eyes without blinking, and asked slowly.

"If you go back to Gongzi, you don't have to doubt it, I really don't know."

"Even Brother Ziqing, I only received the joint code after the mission entered the capital, and the reason why I couldn't tell Gongzi in time is because Brother Ziqing said that the mission was going to leave the country at the banquet, and if Gongzi knew his identity, it might affect Gongzi's decision and put you in danger."

"Don't hide it from Gongzi, the last order given by the lord to his subordinates is just to let his subordinates find Gongzi after Gongzi escapes from prison, and follow Gongzi from then on, as for how many people are still hiding in the shadows, the lord did not tell his subordinates."

"Since it's a shadow, if the time is not right, I'm afraid I won't show up, and the lord should have planned everything properly."

Cao Zi'an smiled bitterly, arched his hands, and said with a serious face.

"It seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, does the old man still have the ability of an unpredictable prophet?"

Li Wuji shook his head and said helplessly.

Since he couldn't find anything from Cao Zi'an and Jiang Ziqing's mouths, he simply let it go and no longer dwelled on it, anyway, he didn't think about relying only on Pang Xun's planning to achieve his goal.

He wants to use his own way to find a path that belongs to him.

"By the way, Childe, the reason why my subordinates are in a hurry to see Childe is because there is something important to report."

Jiang Ziqing bowed his hand and finally remembered what was going on.

"Say."

Li Wuji retracted his thoughts and said curiously.

"The Qianguo delegation came to the capital this time, and it may have other purposes, it is likely that it has bad intentions for the Imperial Dynasty!"

Jiang Ziqing leaned forward and said seriously.

"What do you mean by that?!"

After listening to this, Li Wuji couldn't help frowning and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know what the specific subordinates are, in short, they must have some actions in the capital, Shen Qingshan should know something, but it may be to protect our four disciples, so they have been carrying us behind our backs."

Jiang Ziqing paused for a moment and said with an affirmative expression.

"Going deep into the capital city, how big a wave can a small mission make?"

Li Wuji frowned and thought about it, muttering to himself.

"It's not clear, but the subordinates have found out some news, it seems that there are still Qianguo secret agents hidden in the capital, as for how many people there are, I'm afraid only Shen Qingshan knows, give your subordinates a little time, and your subordinates will find a way to find out about this matter."

"In fact, Qianguo has never really surrendered to leaving the country, and his subordinates are in the imperial capital of Qianguo, so they know best, this time, their purpose is probably not just to use the excuse of cultural exchanges to embarrass the literary world of the country."

Jiang Ziqing said categorically.

"Okay, then you should keep an eye on the movements of the mission, but remember, don't take risks, don't reveal your identity."

Li Wuji nodded and said seriously.

"My subordinates understand."

Jiang Ziqing nodded heavily.

"Lao Cao, inform your people, keep an eye on the mission, I want to know their every move, everyone!"

Li Wuji thought for a moment and spoke again.

"Yes!"

Cao Zi'an clenched his fists and replied in a deep voice.

After the three exchanged a few more pleasantries, Jiang Ziqing quietly left through the back door of the blacksmith shop with a hat, while Li Wuji helped Cao Zi'an out of the front door, got back into the carriage, and returned to Las Vegas.

"That blacksmith is also an old man's man?"

Li Wuji asked lightly while driving the carriage.

"That's right."

Cao Zi'an in the carriage respectfully agreed.

"Let him pay attention to safety, although I have changed my appearance, but I am not sure if there is anyone following me in the secret, in case it is exposed, your identity will not be hidden."

Li Wuji whispered.

"Childe, rest assured, after today, this blacksmith shop will be gone, he has completed his mission and will not stay in the capital anymore."

Cao Zi'an replied slowly.

After listening to Cao Zi'an's words, Li Wuji raised his eyebrows, then pursed his lips and smiled, slowly leaned on the carriage, drove the carriage, blowing the evening breeze, and slowly walked in the direction of the gambling house, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Worthy of an old fox!

...

Next.

In less than half a day, what happened in the Xuanhua Hall last night had spread throughout the entire capital, as if someone had deliberately publicized it everywhere.

Almost the whole city was talking about this matter, and although there were many people who didn't even know who the fourth son of Manjushri was, it was inevitable that they would be elated when they knew that someone had shocked the Qianguo delegation and won glory for leaving the country.

All of a sudden, the name of Wuji Gongzi once again spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.

And this news also spread to the Yamen of the Duying Guard.

Command the embassy.

Luo Ping sat slumped in his chair, his face solemn and his brows furrowed.

When he heard about the incident in the Xuanhua Hall last night, he had already begun to regret the behavior of leading troops to surround Las Vegas last night, and even almost started with Wuji Gongzi.

It was only then that he understood why the people from the East Palace and the people from the Cloud Palace appeared at the same time last night.

He was rejoicing, glad that he was not impulsive, and glad that the case had been snatched away by the meritorious Five Elements Division.

But he was also worried, because the murderer who killed the son of the Xiao family died in his hands, and if anyone suspected him, it would be a big trouble!

Moreover, behind this matter, there is an unknown secret!

No, not just one, but two!

The reason why he was able to appear at the scene of the crime so quickly last night was because someone spent 100,000 taels to let him go to Las Vegas at the appointed time, and he already knew that someone would die there last night!

It's just that he didn't know that the person who was killed would actually be someone from the Xiao family!

It was a risky deal, and he shouldn't have agreed to it, but there was another reason why he had to do it!

Because before this, someone had already found him, and under the combination of soft and hard, let him find a way to find out whether Wuji Gongzi had something to do with the killing of Liyang Hou!

The person who threatened him was none other than the person from the Liyang Hou Mansion!

That's why he killed the murderer at the first time, and without proof of death, he had a reason to bring everyone in the gambling house back to Duyingwei for interrogation, including Wuji Gongzi!

But what happened next was all out of his control!

The sudden appearance of the Five Elements Division, the appearance of people from the East Palace and the Cloud Palace, were all unexpected by him, disrupting all his plans!

He didn't want to kill Wuji Gongzi, originally he just wanted to interrogate Wuji Gongzi in his own territory to find out whether Wuji Gongzi had anything to do with the killing of Liyang Hou, he always had to give an explanation to Liyang Hou's Mansion!

Although the Empress had ordered him not to interfere in the previous incident of the Night Feather Palace, it did not stop him from dealing with Wuji Gongzi, he thought that he could not offend both sides, but in the end, he put himself in a dilemma!

Killing people and destroying their mouths, offending the heroes who left the country, offending Taiqing's people, and accepting 100,000 taels of stolen silver, no matter which one of them, is enough to condemn him to death!

He panicked.

Now he only hopes that this matter has nothing to do with Du Yingwei and himself from now on, and he only hopes that no one will pay attention to himself.

But he still has one more thing to do, and that is to find Tu Jiu and kill him!

In this way, he can at least make himself safer, although he knows that the forces behind Tu Jiu are something he can't afford to offend, but as long as he does it seamlessly, there is still a glimmer of life!

So, Luo Ping called his most trusted henchmen and ordered them to quietly leave the capital guard, find a way to find Tu Jiu, and kill people again!

Once a person has done a wrong thing, he needs to make up for it with countless wrong things.

But what he didn't expect was that although he had sent enough manpower, he had never been able to find Tu Jiu's whereabouts, and it seemed that since last night, Tu Jiu had realized something and had already hidden.

What he didn't know was that his henchmen were already under the surveillance of the Heavenly Secret Agents.

The capital, which had just been quiet for a few days, was once again caught in an undercurrent...
