Chapter 168: The Great Enemy Is Now

Inn.

"I'm going to charter this inn."

The woman in Tsing Yi glanced up and down and said casually.

"Guest officer, I'm afraid this won't work, more than half of the guests have already lived in it, and you're late."

Xiao Er smiled embarrassedly and said helplessly.

"Then get them all out! We will leave in two days at most. ”

The woman in Tsing Yi said coldly and walked straight to the Tianzi No. 1 room upstairs.

"Huh? Sir? You can't be unreasonable, right? ”

"Everyone has paid for it, and we can't go back on our word when we open the door to do business, right?"

Xiao Er looked at the woman in Tsing Yi who had gone up the stairs to the second floor, and said helplessly.

"What did you just say? I'm unreasonable? ”

The woman in Tsing Yi stopped, turned around slowly, looked coldly at Xiao Er in the hall on the first floor, and asked word by word, with a hint of murder in her eyes.

Faced with the woman's questioning, Xiao Er knew that he was speechless, and he was speechless for a while.

Suddenly, a cold and piercing sensation instantly spread throughout Xiao Er's body, followed by heart-rending pain and gushing blood!

One of the woman's subordinates didn't know when she stood behind Xiao Er, and the long sword in her hand was already unsheathed and stabbed deep into Xiao Er's heart!

When Xiao Er realized that he had been hit by the sword, he was no longer able to speak, and looked at the woman in Tsing Yi standing on the railing on the second floor in horror, and fell to the ground in a pool of blood in disbelief.

Soon, Xiao Er swallowed his last breath!

Kill in broad daylight, without warning, and without fear!

As this scene happened, there were several exclamations in the building, and people fled from the inn one after another.

The innkeeper, who heard the movement, also hurried from the backyard, and when he saw that his man had fallen in a pool of blood, his face instantly turned to ashes.

Then he again announced that he wanted to charter the entire inn, and the innkeeper did not dare to be the slightest bit lazy, and immediately refunded the money to the guests who stayed in the hotel and vacated all the rooms.

Then the boss collected the body for the guy, and quietly went to the Duying Guard to report to the official, but when the Duying Guard inquired about the origin and appearance of the murderer, he directly drove him out of the yamen.

Faced with such a result, the boss had no choice but to hastily throw the man's bones to the Broken Yin Mountain outside the city, so as not to implicate himself.

The poor second mother, who lives on the outskirts of the city, knows nothing about it, and always sits in front of the courtyard gate waiting for her son to come home.

...

In the evening.

Away from Anhou Mansion.

In the pavilion in the backyard, while drinking tea, Li Wuji watched with great interest as Cao Zi'an pulled a two-wheeled rickshaw with a cloak and carried Pang Xiaoxiao around in circles in the yard.

"Brother, is it okay? Uncle Cao was sweating profusely. ”

Pang Xiaoxiao sat in the car, looked at Cao Zi'an, who was getting more and more unable to run, turned his head to look at Li Wuji, and asked with a smile.

"That's it."

Li Wuji smiled and beckoned, and said slowly.

Hearing Li Wuji's words, Cao Zi'an finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the rickshaw back to the pavilion.

"Uncle Cao, wipe your sweat."

Pang Xiaoxiao took out a handkerchief and handed it to Cao Zi'an, and said with concern.

"No, miss."

Cao Zi'an smiled bitterly and waved his hand, then directly raised his arm and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

"It's hard work, come, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Li Wuji poured a cup of tea for Cao Zi'an with a smile and said jokingly.

"Childe... What kind of car is this? Never seen before. ”

Cao Zi'an nodded, picked up the teacup and drank it, and asked curiously.

"Let's call it a rickshaw."

Li Wuji looked at the rickshaw he had drawn and urged the blacksmith to build, and said lightly.

"Rickshaw?"

Pang Xiaoxiao and Cao Zi'an hesitated for a moment, and said in unison.

"That's right, now all the people in the capital who have heads and faces have to take a carriage when they go out, even if they are not far away, just to not lose face, but this is time-consuming and troublesome."

"If we have it in the future, everyone won't have to be so troublesome, and besides, it can be affordable for ordinary people to sit on, and it's more cost-effective than hiring a carriage."

Li Wuji nodded and explained.

"Just manpower?"

Cao Zi'an asked puzzled.

"That's right, I plan to open a car dealership, I can pick up jobs, I can also rent, and someone is willing to buy it."

Li Wuji nodded with a smile and said with interest.

Faced with Li Wuji's decision, Pang Xiaoxiao and Cao Zi'an were at a loss, and could only nod slowly, unable to give any insights.

"Lao Cao, you can arrange it, gather all the blacksmiths in the capital, build them in batches as soon as possible, and if you don't have enough manpower, you can go to other places to mobilize."

"Anyway, get the car up and running as soon as possible."

Li Wuji looked at Cao Zi'an and said seriously.

"Yes."

Cao Zi'an wiped his sweat and nodded seriously.

Although he didn't understand, he never missed what Childe decided.

At this moment, Dillon slowly walked in through the back door and walked straight to the gazebo.

"Xiaoxiao, you've worked hard all day, are you tired? Let's go back to the house and rest. ”

Li Wuji noticed the look on Dillon's face, turned his head to look at Pang Xiaoxiao, and said gently.

"Okay."

Pang Xiaoxiao agreed, glanced at Dillon, who had already walked into the pavilion, and turned to leave silently.

"Something's wrong?"

Cao Zi'an also noticed Dillon's face, frowned and asked.

"Childe, Yue Lingyao has arrived in the capital and stayed at the Dengfeng Inn, including her, a total of eleven people."

Dillon nodded at Cao Zi'an, then respectfully bowed to Li Wuji and whispered.

"It seems that there will be a battle between me and her sooner or later."

Li Wuji pursed his lips and said lightly.

"Childe, my subordinates are worried that if we clash with the Lingyao Sword Sect, the empress is likely to favor Yue Lingyao, and then we will be in a dilemma."

Dillon said with a solemn face.

"What else did you find?"

Li Wuji raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.

He knew that Dillon had nothing to say.

"As soon as Yue Lingyao entered the capital, he killed someone at the Dengfeng Inn, and the innkeeper secretly went to the Duying Guard to report to the official, but the Duying Guard Yamen not only did not accept it, but drove the innkeeper out of the yamen."

"Dare to kill people so blatantly in the capital, but he can be safe and sound afterwards, and even the capital guards don't dare to take care of it, which shows the position of this person in the empress's heart."

Dillon frowned and said with some heaviness.

Hearing Dillon's answer, Li Wuji couldn't help but squint his eyes and fell into deep thought.

He had thought that Yue Lingyao was favored by the empress, but he didn't expect that he would be so pampered.

If the empress really intervenes, then this matter will not be easy to do.

While the three of them were pondering, one of his men walked briskly from the front yard and quickly came to the pavilion.

"Childe Qiyu, Tong Zhuo is here."

The subordinates saluted and reported at the same time.

"Bring him here."

Li Wuji raised his eyebrows and replied casually, a casual smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.

Soon, Tong Zhuo was led by the subordinate to the backyard and walked straight into the pavilion.

"I've seen Master Hou."

After Tong Zhuo stood still, he bowed respectfully and glanced at Li Wuji, who was leisurely drinking tea.

"Commander Tong doesn't have to be polite, it's so late, is there something wrong?"

Li Wuji smiled and raised his hand, pretending not to know.

"Master Hou, Yue Lingyao has arrived in the capital, presumably Master Hou already knows, right?"

Tong Zhuo asked slowly.

"Hmm."

Li Wuji nodded lightly and replied casually.

"His Royal Highness Taiqing asked me to tell the Hou Ye, just let it go, as long as Yue Lingyao doesn't die, everything has room for maneuver."

"Your Highness has already negotiated with Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will not interfere in the grievances between Master Hou and Lingyao Sword Sect."

Tong Zhuo paused for a moment and said slowly.

"Ben Hou understood."

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

"Your Highness also has a friend's advice, I hope that Hou Ye understands what to do is the most beneficial to Hou Ye himself."

Tong Zhuo hesitated for a moment and added.

"Okay."

"After the leader returns to the palace, he conveys his gratitude to His Royal Highness for Benhou."

Li Wuji hugged his fists and said with a smile.

"Well said."

"Farewell."

Tong Zhuo returned the salute, didn't say anything more, turned around and left directly.

Seeing the back of Tong Zhuo leaving, Li Wuji pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes revealing a deep meaning...
