Chapter Seventy-Four: It's Time to End
Two days later.
In the evening.
"Childe?"
Dillon slowly came to the door of Wuji's room, knocked respectfully on the door and said.
"Enter."
Soon, Li Wuji's voice came from the room.
Dillon reached out and pushed the door in, only to find that Li Wuji was playing chess alone.
"Got news?"
Li Wuji left a son behind, and asked casually.
"What Childe said is true, something really happened to the Qianguo Mission!"
Dillon looked at Li Wuji with reverence and replied slowly.
"Where?"
Li Wuji pursed his lips and smiled, without any surprise on his face.
"Jinling City!"
"News came from Tianshu that when the Qianguo delegation arrived in Jinling City, it was suddenly attacked by mountain bandits, and more than 100 people were killed! Money robbery! ”
"Immediately afterwards, after the Jinling army stationed in the city heard about this, they immediately sent troops into the mountains to suppress the bandits, eradicating hundreds of mountain bandits, and the corpses were all over the field, and the military report should have been on the way to the capital at this moment."
Dillon arched his hands and said with a serious expression.
After listening to Dillon's report, Li Wuji couldn't help but snort coldly, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain.
This was something he had expected a long time ago, but he didn't expect that the place where the incident happened was hundreds of miles away from the capital, and there were really people who could calm down.
It's just that the identity of the so-called mountain bandits, whether the identity is true or false, I'm afraid no one will know anymore.
"Is Jiang Ziqing still alive?"
Li Wuji pondered for a moment and asked lightly.
"It was not clear that after the attack on the mission, the mountain bandits not only killed people and sold goods, but also set a fire in the end, and all the bodies were buried in the sea of fire, and there was no trace to be found."
Dillon shook his head and replied a little helplessly.
"Got it."
Li Wuji frowned, his face showing a little helplessness.
He hoped that Jiang Ziqing was still alive and did not die in the fire, because he hoped that Jiang Ziqing could continue to return to the imperial capital of Qianguo and keep this shadow, which might be used in the future.
At this moment, the knock on the door started again, and Cao Zi'an also pushed the door and walked in.
"Childe, I've found the den where Tu Jiu is hiding!"
Cao Zi'an bowed and said with some excitement.
Listening to Cao Zi'an's words, Li Wuji's eyes lit up, and a cold smile instantly appeared on his cheeks, which had become a little dignified because of Jiang Ziqing's unknown life and death.
It's time for this duel between him and Tu Jiu to end.
...
Alleys.
Li Wuji put his hands behind his back, looking at the mansion that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time across the exit, without a trace of expression on his face.
According to the information found by Cao Zi'an, Tu Jiu was hiding inside.
"Childe, everyone is in place and ready to do it."
Dillon walked quickly out of the shadows and came to the front of Li Wuji, and said respectfully.
"Except for Tu Jiu, there are no chickens and dogs!"
"Quick Fix!"
Li Wuji nodded with satisfaction and said lightly.
Dillon nodded, said hello to Cao Zi'an, and walked out of the alley together.
Soon, dozens of black shadows appeared from all directions, jumped up one after another, swept to the high wall of the mansion, each with a crossbow arrow in their hands, and rushed in in the blink of an eye!
Soon, there was a faint sound of fighting in the abandoned house, and occasionally a few suppressed screams.
Li Wuji glanced up at the bright moon above the nine heavens, and by the moonlight, he walked towards the mansion.
Lu Yuan silently followed behind, always maintaining a distance of three steps.
That's the distance he can get his sword out of the enemy.
After a long time, Li Wuji walked through the courtyard full of corpses, and walked towards a room with a flickering candle.
On the overgrown bluestone floor, all of them were the corpses of Tu Jiu's men, more than half of them died under the crossbow arrows, and by the moonlight, they could clearly see that the crossbow arrows pierced into their different places, as if they didn't even have a chance to fight back.
That's because on the crossbow arrows, all of them are quenched with poison that seals their throats with blood!
Treat the enemy, never be soft on Wuji!
Soon, Li Wuji walked into the room and saw Tu Jiu, who was tied up by Wuhua and kneeling in the corner.
At this time, the ninth master of Yindu, under the dim candlelight, looked extremely embarrassed, and he no longer had the grandeur of the past.
From the moment Tu Jiu saw Li Wuji, his whole face was distorted, there was sadness, indignation, unwillingness, resentment, and complex emotions kept flashing from his face.
It wasn't until this moment that he knew that he had been planted in the hands of Wuji Gongzi.
"I haven't seen you for many days, how can the Ninth Master fall here?"
Li Wuji looked at the embarrassed Tu Jiu and asked pretending to be surprised.
"Don't get complacent! If you dare to kill me, within three days, you will be dead on the streets! ”
Tu Jiu glared at Li Wuji and said fiercely, his voice like the roar of a beast.
"Why should I kill you?"
Li Wuji smiled and asked lightly.
As he spoke, Dillon had moved to a chair in front of him, sat down slowly and leisurely, and looked at Tu Jiu with interest.
Hearing Li Wuji's question, Tu Jiu frowned and did not answer.
"Then I will answer for you, because you will kill me, and you will surely die."
"I already know everything, even if you don't say anything."
Li Wuji smiled and said slowly as if chatting.
After listening to Li Wuji's words, Tu Jiu's face changed again, but he snorted stubbornly.
"The guy who killed people in my gambling house was the one you sent, right?"
Li Wuji looked at Tu Jiu and said lightly.
He likes to solve all the mysteries little by little in front of the person who laid them out, which makes him feel very fulfilled.
He's enjoying the moment.
"Not only that, but when you know that Xiao Hongyi must go to Las Vegas almost every day, he has become your target for me."
"Because killing an ordinary person is obviously more likely to implicate me than killing a Xiao family."
Li Wuji looked at Tu Jiu condescendingly and spoke eloquently.
Tu Jiu was still silent, but his face was getting more and more ugly.
"Not only that, but you also bought Luo Ping and let him appear at the right time, which caught the gambling house off guard, and was hit by the Du Yingwei."
"You know I'm not at the casino that day, so I'm sure things will go your way and nothing will go wrong."
"Perhaps, you also told your people that after killing Xiao Hongyi, they were identified on the spot as being instructed by me! It's just a pity that Luo Ping killed the murderer directly for some reason, which caught you off guard, right? ”
Li Wuji looked at Tu Jiu and continued to analyze.
Hearing this, Tu Jiu's face had gradually turned pale, and his eyes were full of incredulity when he looked at Li Wuji.
"Do you want me to continue?"
Li Wuji looked at Tu Jiu who was pierced playfully, and asked with a smile.
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
Tu Jiu snorted coldly, pretending to be calm, and flatly denied it.
"Originally, you thought that you could bring me down with this matter, even if the guards couldn't help me, the Xiao family would definitely not let me go."
"But what you didn't expect was that the people from the East Palace and the Cloud Palace appeared in the gambling house one after another, and not only was I fine, but I was also rewarded by the empress because I shocked the mission."
"You are not reconciled, so you must still be thinking about finding another opportunity in the future, planning to let me go for the time being, pretending that you have nothing to do with all this."
"But you shouldn't have anything to do with the Qianguo Mission."
Li Wuji smiled, shook his head lightly and said, even revealing a trace of pity for Tu Jiu.
Hearing Li Wuji's last words, Tu Jiu's face turned pale instantly!
"Someone from the mission went to the Night Feather Palace, they went to see you, right?"
"Since a long time ago, you have betrayed the country and colluded with the secret agents of the Qianguo lurking in the capital!"
"Am I right?"
Li Wuji looked at Tu Jiu and asked word by word, and at the end, his voice was instantly cold!
"Nonsense!"
"You're spewing blood!"
Tu Jiu struggled excitedly, glared at Li Wuji angrily, and shouted with a roar.
"I checked you and knew that you have a private mine in the mountains two hundred miles away from the capital, and you quietly transported the gunpowder hidden by the mission into the capital, right?"
"What do they want so much gunpowder for? Where are you going to blow up? ”
"Is it the Night Feather Palace?!"
Li Wuji looked at Tu Jiu and asked curiously, the corners of his mouth once again showed a playful smile, but this smile was extremely grim and cruel in Tu Jiu's eyes.
Hearing this, Tu Jiu's face was already like ashes, and his eyes were full of horror...
