Las vegas.

Third floor.

Li Wuji sat in front of the window, slowly brewing kung fu tea, rare to be idle.

Due to the empress's ban, if it is not necessary, he can only stay in the gambling house all the time, and cannot go anywhere.

Originally, although he opened a gambling house in the capital, he would still return to the Nine Nether Realm every night to spend the night, after all, the Nine Nether Realm was already under his control, and it was relatively safe to live there.

However, after hearing that there were rumors on the street about what happened in the Xuanhua Hall last night, his mood was not so depressed.

He had already guessed that this was a deliberate spread of news, otherwise what happened in the Xuanhua Hall would not have spread so quickly.

And the person who dares to spread this matter everywhere, except for Li Jingyao herself, it seems that there is only that woman.

Apparently, he had managed to attract the woman's attention.

Whatever her reason for doing this, it was a great opportunity for Li Wuji.

Now what he has to do is to add another fire to his next plan to make his next plan smoother!

At this moment, Cao Zi'an knocked on the door and walked in.

"Childe, I just received the news that someone in the Qianguo Mission quietly left the Huitong Pavilion and went to the Yeyu Palace, the appearance is very suspicious, they are all dressed in disguise, in order not to startle the snake, our people did not follow up."

"There are two people in total, they stayed in the Night Feather Palace for almost two hours before leaving, and there is one thing that is very interesting, just after these two people left on the front foot, Tu Jiu also left the Night Feather Palace, sneaky, and also disguised!"

Cao Zi'an closed the door, walked quickly to Li Wuji, and whispered.

"So, what the Qianguo mission is trying to do is related to Tu Jiu?"

Li Wuji's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but show a smile.

"It's very likely, but I don't dare to confirm it yet, but my subordinates have already ordered someone to secretly keep an eye on those two people and Tu Jiu, and they will report it as soon as there is news."

"In addition, Dillon sent back the news and found that Luo Ping sent many of his subordinates to track down Tu Jiu's whereabouts everywhere in the capital, and not as a capital guard."

Cao Zi'an hesitated for a moment and said seriously.

"It seems that the camp guards also have a part, this matter is getting more and more interesting."

After listening to Wuji, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

Originally, he suspected that the killing of the son of the Xiao family in the gambling house last night was related to Tu Jiu, but now he found out that Tu Jiu may also have a lot to do with the Qianguo Mission, which is an unexpected gain for him.

If this is really the case, he just took advantage of these two things to completely eradicate Tu Jiu and take down the entire underground world of the capital!

As for Luo Ping, Li Wuji is still unsure which of these two things he has to do with, but this is also an opportunity for him!

"Keep watching, inform Dillon, don't let up on Luo Ping's side!"

Li Wuji pondered for a while and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Cao Zi'an nodded heavily.

At this moment, the knock on the door sounded again, and Lu Yuan appeared at the door.

"Childe, Taiqing is here."

After getting Li Wuji's response, Lu Yuan pushed the door open a crack and reminded in a low voice.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, a flash of surprise flashed between Wuji's eyebrows, and he got up and walked out.

"You go first, don't startle the snake."

Li Wuji walked out and told Cao Zi'an.

Cao Zi'an agreed and left quickly.

When Li Wuji walked out of the room and came to the corridor, he found that Li Jingyao had already taken Tong Zhuo to the third floor and passed by Cao Zi'an.

"What wind brought His Highness here?"

Li Wuji bowed his hand and said hello with a smile.

"Such a big thing happened to you here last night, this palace has to come and take a look, how about it? Du Yingwei and the Five Elements Division are not difficult for you anymore, right? ”

As she spoke, Li Jingyao walked past Li Wuji and walked straight to Li Wuji's room.

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, they haven't been here since last night, and I have to thank Your Highness and Your Majesty for your protection."

As Li Wuji spoke, he slowly followed, guessing in his heart what Li Jingyao was about.

Immediately, the two entered the room and sat down in front of the window.

Tong Zhuo closed the door and stood silently behind Li Jingyao.

Li Wuji smiled and slowly poured a cup of freshly brewed hot tea for Li Jingyao.

"Unexpectedly, Childe is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also proficient in the tea ceremony."

Li Jingyao took a sip of the teacup and said approvingly, with a trace of irrepressible appreciation flashing in her eyes.

"Your Highness has an overreputation, but you only know a little bit about it, and you can't get on the stage."

Li Wuji said with a smile.

"It's really rare to have great talent but not to be arrogant, it's a pity that a person like you doesn't become an official, but hides in this market."

Li Jingyao sighed and said with feeling.

"If His Highness continues to boast like this, Zai Xia will really start to be proud."

Li Wuji waved his hand embarrassedly and said with a smile.

Listening to Li Wuji's words, Li Jingyao couldn't help laughing.

"By the way, Your Majesty rewarded you and grounded you at the same time, you won't complain about it, right? After all, you've just made a great contribution to the court. ”

Li Jingyao paused and asked seriously.

"How dare you be, Your Majesty's deep meaning, how can you not understand below, it seems that you are going to be grounded below, but in fact, you are protecting you, it's too late to be grateful to Dade, how can you complain."

Li Wuji shook his head and said with a serious face.

"It's you, just understand."

Li Jingyao smiled with satisfaction and said approvingly.

Li Wuji could clearly feel that since the Xuanhua Hall incident, the distance between him and Li Jingyao had become a little closer.

Next, at the request of Li Jingyao, the two of them played backgammon in the room, and this time they forgot the time, seeing that the sun was about to set, Li Jingyao was still reluctant to leave.

Just when Li Wuji couldn't help but give the eviction order, Cao Zi'an finally rushed back again and knocked on the door.

"Your Highness, I'll go out and have a look."

"It's not too early, why don't Your Highness stay here and have dinner before returning to the palace?"

Li Wuji finally found an opportunity, and asked with a smile as he got up.

"Okay, then bother."

Li Jingyao agreed without thinking about it, and she was in the middle of it.

"I'll arrange it in the next place."

Li Wuji said as he turned and walked out.

in the corridor.

"Childe, after the two of them left the Yeyu Palace, they never returned to the Huitong Hall, but entered a house in the south of the city, and they never came out after entering.

Cao Zi'an lowered his voice and said slowly.

"What about Tu Jiu?"

Li Wuji frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.

"I lost it..."

"It's a dereliction of duty on the part of a subordinate."

When Cao Zi'an heard this, he said with a look of self-reproach.

"Forget it, the people who notified you first keep an eye on the two of them, don't let them leave, you stay here and be on standby at any time."

Li Wuji narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and after a word of advice, he turned around and returned to the room, he already had an idea in his heart.

It's time to take action after the thief and catch the stolen goods.

Cao Zi'an nodded, quickly went downstairs, and immediately passed the news out.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat dinner."

After Li Wuji returned to the room, he sighed, looked at Li Jingyao a little helplessly, and said.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Li Jingyao was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, a little disappointment flashed between her eyebrows.

"I have something to report to Your Highness."

Li Wuji bowed his hand respectfully, and said seriously, deliberately showing a dignified face.

"What the hell is going on?"

Seeing Li Wuji, who suddenly became serious, Li Jingyao was even more dazed, and asked with a frown.

"It's not a secret, after the death of the son of the Xiao family in the gambling house last night, I have already begun to suspect a person in my heart, so I ordered my subordinates to spy on him."

"But I didn't expect that although I didn't find any clues related to the killing of the son of the Xiao family, I ran into another incredible thing."

Li Wuji frowned and said with some concern.

"Long-winded! What the hell is going on?! ”

Li Jingyao's face sank, and she stood up directly, urging and asking.

"The person who is suspicious is to blame the owner of the Changsheng gambling house who has robbed the gambling house business in the next place, Tu Jiu!"

"And just now, my people found out that someone in the Qianguo delegation secretly went to the Yeyu Palace, and also met with Tu Jiu in private, and stayed for two hours before leaving in disguise, and the movements of both sides were very suspicious!"

"I suspect that the Qianguo delegation seems to be hiding some conspiracy in Beijing this time, and it is likely to plot against me for leaving the country!"

Li Wuji arched his hand and said with a serious face.

After listening to Li Wuji's answer, Li Jingyao's eyes couldn't help but widen, and her complexion changed suddenly...
