Huitongkan.

"Your Highness, we have indeed been wronged! Although these two people are from my country, they have never slipped out of our mission! ”

"Definitely... There must be someone who deliberately framed and wanted to provoke a war between the two countries, this person has sinister intentions, and I hope His Highness will not be deceived by him! Your Highness! ”

Shen Qingshan had a bitter face, looked at Li Jingyao seriously, and still defended himself.

"Since they are your departed people, who can command them?! And when the mission entered Beijing, you said that this has nothing to do with Qianguo, do you really think that this palace is so easy to deceive?! ”

Li Jingyao looked at Shen Qingshan coldly and shouted.

"Your Highness, the foreign minister also thinks this matter is strange, maybe... Maybe there was a traitor in my army, and I sent people to follow me all the way to the capital, trying to impose this crime on the mission! ”

"If His Royal Highness can give the foreign minister some more time, after the foreign minister returns to Qianguo, he will definitely find out the matter clearly, find out who is behind the scenes, tie him up to the capital, and dispose of it with His Highness!"

"If this incident causes the two countries to go to war, then this person's treacherous plan will be carried out, and then the lives will be ruined, and I hope Your Highness will think twice!"

Shen Qingshan bowed his hand and pleaded bitterly.

After listening to Shen Qingshan's words, Li Jingyao frowned slightly, and her face showed hesitation.

Li Wuji sat quietly aside, glanced at the hesitant Li Jingyao, and said nothing.

He has helped Li Jingyao stop a turmoil that may be caused by gunpowder, and the goal has been achieved, as for how Li Jingyao and the court choose, it is not something he can interfere with, and he does not want to interfere.

Letting the two countries go to war was not his ultimate goal.

After thinking for a long time, Li Jingyao slowly stood up, glanced at Shen Qingshan who was kneeling on the ground, and walked out.

"Before this matter is conclusive, no one from the top or bottom of the mission is allowed to step out of the hall for half a step, and those who violate it will be immediately punished!"

After leaving a word from Jingyao, the person had already arrived in the courtyard and walked straight out.

A tense and exciting confrontation ended here.

Li Wuji smiled, got up slowly, walked out without caring about himself, and glanced at Jiang Ziqing intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing that things had settled down like this, Cui Yunqi and Shen Fang, who were kneeling on the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly got up.

And Shen Qingshan was already pale, kneeling on the ground motionless, and slowly stood up with the support of the four sons of Manjushri.

Outside the building.

When Li Wuji followed Li Jingyao out of the gate, he found that Leng Yue had also arrived and was guarding outside with his subordinates.

"You dare to disobey the emperor's orders?!"

Seeing Li Wuji, Leng Yue subconsciously changed her face, and said that she was about to rush towards Li Wuji.

"Stop!"

Li Jingyao was already upset, and when she saw this scene, she immediately stopped in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, the empress has a decree that before the murder of the son of the Xiao family is concluded, the prince of Wuji is not allowed to leave the gambling house for half a step!"

Leng Yue hesitated for a moment and explained in a low voice.

"When is it, still thinking about the Xiao family! Can't tell the priorities?! If it weren't for Childe Wuji, do you know what would happen in the capital tonight?! ”

"It was Hongu who let him out! How?! You even have to take care of the affairs of the main palace?! ”

Li Jingyao asked coldly.

"Don't dare!"

Leng Yue hurriedly saluted and said respectfully.

"This palace now orders you, take a good look at the Hui Pavilion, without the order of this palace, no one in the embassy is allowed to leave this place for half a step!"

Li Jingyao glared at Leng Yue and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Leng Yue agreed, looked at Li Wuji, and walked directly inside with a dozen of his subordinates.

Li Jingyao breathed a long sigh of relief, beckoned to Li Wuji, and slowly walked towards his carriage.

Li Wuji nodded and slowly followed.

"What do you think?"

After coming to the side of the carriage, Li Jingyao paused and asked slowly.

"It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what His Highness thinks and what His Majesty thinks."

"Your Highness should already have the answer in his heart."

Li Wuji smiled and replied calmly.

"But even so, this matter is not as simple as I thought, Shen Qingshan is right, if the water is revealed, then there will be a war between leaving the country and Qianguo!"

Li Jingyao sighed and said seriously.

"Your Highness loves the people like a son, and is worried that once a war starts, the people on the border will be miserable because of it, right?"

After listening to Li Jingyao's words, Li Wuji's face began to become a little solemn, and he said slowly.

"No, sooner or later, there will be a war between the two countries, since it is unavoidable, there will always be people who will die, this is their fate, those who achieve great things, can not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place and the life and death of soldiers and people."

"It's just that now is not the time to go to war, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has left the country to fight with neighboring countries for several years, and although he finally won the victory, he also suffered a lot of losses."

"At this time, it is a period of recuperation and recuperation, and it is not appropriate to start another war. The stakes are very high, and this matter must be explained to His Majesty before making a decision. ”

"Moreover, this palace also hopes that the feat of defeating and annexing the Qianguo will be completed by this palace himself in the future!"

Li Jingyao shook her head and said with a serious face.

"Your Highness has great ambitions and is bowing down."

After listening to Li Jingyao's words, Li Wuji smiled and said.

But for a moment, Li Wuji was extremely disgusted with the femme fatale-like woman in front of him!

It is said that where there is a father, there must be a son, and now it seems that there is a mother and a daughter!

"Tonight's incident, thanks to you, congratulations, you have made meritorious service again, very good."

Li Jingyao turned her head to look at Li Wuji and said with satisfaction, her eyes full of approval.

"It is a blessing to share the worries of His Highness."

"Since His Royal Highness has come forward from the mission, Tu Jiu's side, let me go in person."

"If things are really as His Highness and His Majesty guessed, it means that Tu Jiu has betrayed and left the country."

Li Wuji smiled and slowly became serious.

"Are you sure this matter has something to do with Tu Jiu?"

Li Jingyao frowned and asked slowly.

"Sure."

Li Wuji nodded and said without thinking.

"You said before that the killing of the son of the Xiao family was also related to Tu Jiu?"

Li Jingyao asked again.

"Almost."

Li Wuji replied with a smile.

"Don't be almost, can't be almost! If you want to move him, you have to make sure it's right! ”

"You may not know that Tu Jiu is not easy to move! If you are not completely sure, move him, and you will be burned! ”

Li Jingyao looked at Li Wuji and said meaningfully.

"Oh? It seems that behind him, there are people who even His Highness is afraid of, and he is very curious, who gave him such courage? ”

Li Wuji raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"Don't ask, in short, you have to remember that to move Tu Jiu, you have to think of all the ways to retreat, and you must hit it with one hit! Otherwise, there will be endless troubles! ”

"Also, find a way to find out the origin of that batch of gunpowder!"

Li Jingyao looked at Li Wuji seriously and patiently advised.

"Your Highness, rest assured, you know it in your heart."

"If you go out on a business trip, you will be responsible for it by the next person, and you will never affect others."

Li Wuji nodded and arched his hand.

Li Jingyao looked at Li Wuji, who was confident, shook her head, didn't say anything more, reached out and took out a purple token engraved with dragon scales from her arms, and sent it to Li Wuji.

Tong Zhuo, who was standing on the side, was stunned for a moment when he saw the token, and glanced at Li Jingyao in surprise.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Li Wuji hesitated to take it and asked slowly.

"This is a token of the palace, with it, you can enter and leave the East Palace at will in the future, and no one dares to stop you."

"If you encounter someone who embarrass you, show him up, or you may be able to keep you fine."

"It's still the same sentence, this palace hopes that sooner or later, one day, you can follow this palace, do things for the court, and make suggestions for this palace."

Li Jingyao looked at Li Wuji and said earnestly.

When the two met for the first time in Wuji Building before, Li Jingyao had said that sooner or later they would bring Li Wuji under their command.

"Thank you, Your Highness, even if you become an official, but it's still the same sentence, as long as Your Highness needs it, I am willing to serve dogs and horses and go to the soup and fire."

Li Wuji carefully put away the token and said respectfully.

Li Jingyao nodded, didn't say anything more, and slowly boarded the carriage.

Li Wuji stood in place, bowed his hand, and watched the carriage gradually move away, with a hint of intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Inform Dillon and your people that even if they dig three feet into the ground, they must find Tu Jiu!"

As he spoke, Li Wuji turned his head to look at the heavily guarded Huitong Hall, and turned around and walked in the direction of the gambling house.

Cao Zi'an agreed, and quickly disappeared into the night, leaving Lu Yuan alone to follow quietly behind Li Wuji.

The night was dark, and the evening breeze was slightly cool.

Next, it's time for the real protagonist to appear...
