The Lord's Mansion of Yong'an County.

"Master Hou, what is this?"

Seeing that someone suddenly bowed down like this, Ling Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Wuji in puzzlement.

"The county lord is calm and don't be impatient."

"Tell the county lord everything you know."

Li Wuji smiled, turned his head to look at Ah Er who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes..."

"The little one's name is Ah Er, and he is the follower of Lu Qingshu, the son of Lu Zhengping, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the little county king was killed by Lu Qingshu!"

Ah Er nodded, glanced up at Ling Yuyan, and said slowly.

After listening to Ah Er's words, Ling Yuyan and the others all changed their faces.

"What you say is true?!"

Xia Qiu glared at Ah Er and asked loudly.

"It's true, it's the little one who saw it with his own eyes!"

Ah Er nodded affirmatively and said.

"Then why did he kill my little prince?!"

Xia Qiu asked loudly.

"That's because... Because Lu Qingshu was jealous of His Royal Highness Taiqing's favor for Liyang Hou, and was worried that Hou Ye would rob him of his position in Taiqing's heart, he wanted to suppress Hou Ye. ”

"Originally, under the instruction of Lord Shangshu, the capital guards were ordered to find trouble in Las Vegas, but it didn't work, so Lu Qingshu made an assertion, and found out that the little county king often went to Las Vegas to gamble money, and then spent a lot of money to find a killer and killed the little prince, intending to blame the Hou Ye..."

Ah Er hesitated for a moment, glanced at Li Wuji, and said with trembling lips.

After listening to Ah Er's explanation, Xia Qiu and the blue-clothed sword attendant were all angry, but on the other hand, Ling Yuyan had a calm face, only frowning slightly.

"Although the murderer has fled the capital, he has found this person in Xia, and has now been captured, if the county lord needs it, he can let someone send him to the capital immediately, and it is all up to the county lord to dispose of."

"As for this person, although he did not participate in the assassination, he is also Lu Qingshu's personal entourage, and he can't escape from it, and he can also be handed over to the county lord to send him down."

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan, who was as calm as water, and said seriously.

Hearing Li Wuji's words, Ah Er, who was kneeling on the ground, was shocked, and looked up at Li Wuji in horror, because Li Wuji didn't promise him that.

"He's just a man who does what he does, so what does it have to do with him? Now that the Lu clan has died out, I don't want to pursue it anymore. ”

"As for the murderer, you don't have to send it to the capital, but you still have to trouble Master Hou, let your people do it."

Ling Yuyan pondered, sighed, and spoke slowly.

"It's okay, don't worry, the county lord can rest assured, that person will soon go down to bury the little prince."

Li Wuji nodded and said seriously.

"Thank you, Master Hou."

Ling Yuyan got up slowly, bowed to Li Wuji, and said gratefully.

"It's just a gesture, you're welcome."

Li Wuji smiled and raised his hand and said softly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Wuji glanced at Cao Zi'an, and after Cao Zi'an understood, he left the county lord's mansion with a frightened Ah Er.

"Master Hou's kindness, I will definitely remember it in my heart, and I will repay it in the future."

Ling Yuyan looked at Li Wuji and said sincerely.

"No need, I came here today, not to seek the county lord's reward, but to feel ashamed of the county lord, although the little prince was not killed by me, but after all, he died because of me, and I am also responsible."

"Even if you owe the county lord a favor, if you can use it in the future, just ask."

Li Wuji looked directly at Ling Yuyan and said with a serious face, his eyes sincere.

Looking at the rumored separation from the two people at all, Ling Yuyan frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"This is the first time I've been here, it's still early, can you give me a tour?"

Li Wuji finished drinking the tea in the cup, slowly got up, and asked with a smile.

"Of course."

Ling Yuyan agreed, got up and made a gesture of please, walked out of the main hall with Li Wuji, and began to wander around the mansion.

I have to say that although Ling Yuyan came to the capital as a proton seven years ago, the empress is not stingy, and the environment and area of this mansion are good.

Gardens, rockeries, pavilions, a lot of the same, can be regarded as magnificent.

After walking to a pavilion in the backyard, Li Wuji stopped, sat on the stone bench, and motioned for Lu Yuan, who was following him, to retreat.

Seeing this, Ling Yuyan knew that Li Wuji was going to say something that was not suitable for outsiders to listen to, so she also thought about the sword attendant and Xia Qiu who were following her, and waved her hand.

"County Lord?"

Xia Qiu hesitated and glanced at Li Wuji, his face worried.

"It's okay, you guys should step back first."

Ling Yuyan showed a reassuring smile and said slowly.

Xia Qiu nodded, exited the pavilion with the sword attendant, and stood not far away, observing the two people in the pavilion at all times, looking nervous.

"They're worried about you."

Li Wuji looked at Xia Qiu, who was looking forward to it, and said with a smile.

"It's childish, don't blame Master Hou."

"Now there are only two people left here, Hou Ye and Hou Ye, if Hou Ye has anything to say, he can say."

Ling Yuyan smiled bitterly, defended Xia Qiu, and then said seriously.

"Although you and I belong to the same country, the county lord is the least bullying among the nobles I have ever met, and there must be many people like them who make you care about and try to shelter by all means, right?"

Li Wuji smiled and said meaningfully.

"Yu Yan is stupid, and I don't understand the meaning of Hou Ye's words."

Ling Yuyan said with a smile.

"It's not that you don't understand, you just don't want to be seen through."

"The death of the little prince hit you hard, right? It seems that your heart is like stopping water, but you can see that you feel very uncomfortable in your heart. ”

"Although I have not experienced the pain of losing a loved one, I feel it personally."

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan and said sincerely.

Listening to Li Wuji's words, Ling Yuyan frowned and fell into silence, not admitting or denying it.

"The reason why you found a so-called murderer and asked the Five Elements Division to stop investigating the murder of the little prince and give up avenging the little prince is not because you are cold-blooded, let alone because you are afraid of me."

"You just want to protect those you care about and care about, because you know that once this matter is related to the departure court, Ling Guo will definitely not give up, and this is the last thing you want to see!"

"Once the war between the two countries breaks out again, it will be the people on the border between the two countries who will be implicated, and Ling Guo has no chance of winning, you don't want to put Ling Guo's fate on the case of the little prince being killed."

"So this matter must be stopped in moderation, no matter who the murderer is, it doesn't matter anymore, or even if it's important, you can't go back to heaven, because you want to protect Ling Guo and protect the people of Ling Guo, right?"

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan and spoke eloquently, words like knives, almost naked.

Ling Yuyan looked at Li Wuji in disbelief, no longer as calm as at the beginning, her eyes were full of surprise, but she still didn't say a word.

"I'm not a spy sent by the imperial court, I'm not here to test you, I just accidentally understood what you think in your heart, so I admire it and want to come and see you."

"It's a gift to you, after all, you helped me block the entanglement of the Five Elements Division and did me a great favor, whether intentionally or unintentionally."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this, God knows, you know and I know."

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

"Thank you, Master Hou."

Ling Yuyan hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke slowly, her words full of gratitude.

Similarly, in her heart, she unconsciously developed admiration for Li Wuji.

"Don't call me Master Hou, I don't like it, just call me Gongzi, it sounds kinder."

"Okay?"

Li Wuji slowly turned his head, looked at Ling Yuyan unscrupulously again, and asked with a smile.

"Listen to Childe."

Ling Yuyan nodded lightly and replied slowly.

"Okay."

Li Wuji smiled, took a deep breath, and got up to leave.

However, just when he was together, he accidentally saw many calligraphy stickers hanging on the wall in a side hall, and he couldn't help but be curious.

"Good word!"

Although there was a distance between them, Li Wuji still saw the rhyme between the lines and couldn't help but praise it.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ling Yuyan turned her head and glanced at it, and said embarrassedly.

"You wrote that?"

Li Wuji asked curiously.

"Exactly."

"I always like to write in my spare time, so that I can calm down and make my son smile."

Ling Yuyan nodded, with a hint of a modest smile.

"Can I go in and have a look?"

Li Wuji asked expectantly.

"Of course."

"Childe, please."

Ling Yuyan agreed, made a gesture of please, and took the lead in leading the way.

Immediately, the two of them walked towards the side hall one after the other.

Xia Qiu, who was standing not far away, glanced at each other, and didn't know why, so they had to slowly follow...
