East Palace.

Tong Zhuo, who rushed back from the purple maple forest, walked into the main hall quickly, his face was in a hurry, and his face was solemn.

"Something's wrong?!"

Seeing Tong Zhuo who hurriedly walked into the main hall, Li Jingyao's face changed instantly, and she stood up and asked in a deep voice.

"Li'an Hou had a slight upper hand and forced out the strongest Yue Lingyao, but someone suddenly stepped forward to stop him, and Yue Lingyao was already on his way back to the Lingyao Sword Sect."

Tong Zhuo shook his head and said.

"Since there is nothing to do, then why did you put on such a look, causing this palace to think that something bad happened to Anhou!"

After hearing this, Li Jingyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then reproached with some dissatisfaction.

"Your Highness, although you are safe and sound from Anhou, you know something even more frightening."

Tong Zhuo said with a solemn face.

"What's wrong?"

Li Jingyao frowned and asked hesitantly, looking puzzled.

"Li Anhou is actually a disciple of the Wuji Sect, and he is also the personal disciple of the old man Wuji, and he is also the candidate for the next Wuji Sect Master!"

"People from all sides have been secretly investigating for so long, but they have never waited for any clues about him, and I didn't expect him to hide so deeply."

Tong Zhuo said in a deep voice, on the way back to the capital, the shock in his heart has never subsided.

"Just the Wuji Sect, which is known as the first sect in the world?!"

Li Jingyao was stunned, looked at Tong Zhuo in disbelief and asked.

"Exactly."

Tong Zhuo nodded and replied affirmatively.

Hearing Tong Zhuo's affirmative answer, Li Jingyao shook her head in surprise, but then she showed a familiar smile, and there was even a hint of excitement in her eyes.

Everyone wants to have a helper with a deep background, the empress is like this, and so is Taiqing.

What they value at the same time is the Wuji Sect behind Wuji!

If there is the first sect in the world to bow down to the imperial court, it is equivalent to having a force with immeasurable ability.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing."

"The subordinates found out that Li Anhou actually had the Heavenly Punishment Sword that had disappeared for many years!"

Seeing that Taiqing didn't have the slightest worry about what he had just said, Tong Zhuo frowned and continued.

Hearing this, Li Jingyao couldn't help but be stunned, and her face finally became a little solemn.

The Heavenly Punishment Sword is the sword of the Son of Heaven, since it is the sword of the Son of Heaven, then only the Son of Heaven deserves to have it, even if it is not the Son of Heaven, it should be a royal thing, at least it must be the sword of the people in the royal family.

But now it was in the hands of someone else, and the sword had disappeared fifteen years ago.

"He used the Heavenly Punishment Sword to fight Yue Lingyao?"

Li Jingyao asked thoughtfully as she paced.

"That's right, with the Sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand from Anhou, Yue Lingyao didn't take advantage of it."

"Your Highness, this sword is a royal thing, do you want to find a way to recover it?"

Tong Zhuo asked with a solemn face.

"Chases what?"

"Why clawback? Now that it has found its owner, why should this palace take the love of others? ”

Li Jingyao hesitated, waved his hand and said.

"But after all, it is a relic of the first emperor, is it inappropriate to fall into the hands of others like this?"

"And the lowly post also found the Blood Blazing Rakshasa Red Falcon in the Purple Maple Forest, presumably Your Majesty already knows about this at this time, if you don't recover this sword, wait until Your Majesty comes forward in person, I'm afraid things will not be easy to do."

Tong Zhuo said worriedly.

"Your Majesty actually sent a Blood Blazing Yin Envoy to investigate?"

Li Jingyao was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.

"That's right, there are several groups of people who are secretly watching the battle, and they can recognize their identities, a group of people who are led by the red falcon and Yan Yu Wei Lan Zhan!"

Tong Zhuo nodded, still with a solemn face.

"It seems that it won't be long before Anhou's identity as the next sect master of the Wuji Sect will shock the world, and he is worthy of him, always bringing many surprises to the palace."

Li Jingyao paced, pondered for a moment, and then said sincerely, his eyes full of appreciation and approval.

"Your Highness, do you want to recover the sword of the Son of Heaven?"

Tong Zhuo asked again.

"No need."

"Since everyone already knows that the Heavenly Punishment Sword is in his hands, then let him go, if Your Majesty wants to recover it, no one can stop him."

"However, this palace feels that with the revelation of the identity of Li'an Hou, His Majesty may no longer be easy to embarrass him, and will even defend him everywhere."

Li Jingyao waved her hand and said thoughtfully.

"Just because he's the next sect master of the Wuji Sect?"

Tong Zhuo asked hesitantly.

"Don't underestimate the rivers and lakes, since the Wuji Sect is known as the first sect in the world, its influence is not limited to the rivers and lakes, having it is like having a powerful army!"

"They can accomplish a lot of things that even an army can't do if they need it in the future!"

Li Jingyao smiled and said longingly.

To be honest, she wanted to take it for her own use more than to let Her Majesty own the Wuji Sect.

Tong Zhuo pondered for a while, gradually understood, and nodded in a sudden understanding.

"It seems that Bengong's original decision was right, if he can be made to work for Bengong in the future, why worry about a big deal?!"

"But fortunately, he is not from Wuji."

Li Jingyao carried her hands behind her back, with a smile full of meaning on the corner of her mouth, and muttered to herself.

In my mind, I couldn't help but think of the first time I saw Li'anhou in the Nine Nether Realm, but at that time, Li'anhou was just a handsome son with superb piano skills.

And now, the original son of Wuji has gradually become a pivotal person who has left the country.

...

In the evening.

Li Wuji finally returned to the capital in a carriage, and from a long distance, he saw a familiar figure looking forward to it, looking in his direction.

Inside the city gate, next to a carriage, a shadow stood against the wall, full of worry, looking at the oncoming Houfu carriage.

It is the county lord of Yong'an, Ling Yuyan!

Xia Qiu and Biluo quietly accompanied each other.

As a proton of Ling Guo, she can't go out of the city, otherwise she will be affected by a hair, so she can only stand at the gate of the city and wait, since noon, she has appeared here, and before she knows it, several hours have passed.

When the carriage entered the city gate, Li Wuji instructed the disciples of the Wuji Sect who were driving the carriage to stop the carriage, and then slowly walked out of the carriage.

Seeing Li Wuji appear in her sight, Ling Yuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Why are you here?"

Li Wuji got out of the carriage, quickly came to Ling Yuyan, and asked softly.

He didn't know that Ling Yuyan had been standing here for half a day.

"Worried..."

"You... It's okay? ”

Ling Yuyan asked in a messy voice.

"It's okay."

"Unscathed."

Li Wuji nodded, opened his arms and spun around, and said with a smile.

"It's good to come back safely."

Ling Yuyan smiled and said softly.

"Don't worry, my life is big, and the person who wants to kill me hasn't been born yet."

"I still have something to do, let's go first, and when I'm done, I'll take the time to go to the county lord's mansion to see you."

Li Wuji smiled and said as he prepared to turn around and return to the carriage.

"The county lord has been waiting here since noon, and you are so lightly remarked?!"

Seeing that Wuji was leaving, Xia Qiu, who was standing behind Ling Yuyan, couldn't help but say unfairly.

Hearing Xia Qiu's words, Li Wuji was stunned for a moment, and somewhere in his heart couldn't help but be touched, he turned around slowly, and looked at Ling Yuyan with complicated eyes.

"Qiu'er! Mouthy again! ”

Ling Yuyan turned her head to look at Xia Qiu dissatisfied, and said reproachfully.

Xia Qiu wanted to speak and stopped, and lowered his head unwillingly.

"Exhausted, aren't you?"

Li Wuji returned to Ling Yuyan's face, and asked with concern, his tone full of tenderness and distress.

Ling Yuyan shook her head stubbornly, squeezing out a hint of a pretended relaxed smile, in fact, her legs were already exhausted, and her ankles were a little numb.

"I'm sorry to worry you."

Li Wuji hesitated and sincerely apologized.

He didn't expect that he was already so important in Ling Yuyan's mind.

"It's okay, you go get busy, I'll go home first."

Ling Yuyan shook her head with a smile, and then turned around and walked towards the carriage.

In fact, on the one hand, she was worried about the safety of Li Wuji, and on the other hand, she wanted to meet him because she hadn't seen Li Wuji for a long time.

Since the last time he said goodbye, Li Wuji has not been to the county lord's mansion because he wants to protect Ling Yuyan.

But just when Ling Yuyan turned around and was about to go back to her carriage, her tired and numb legs suddenly didn't obey the call, and she stumbled under her feet, looking like she was about to fall!

Li Wuji's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly rushed in front of Xia Qiu and Biluo, quickly rushed to Ling Yuyan's side, and directly hugged Ling Yuyan!

A princess hugged and stunned everyone around, including Ling Yuyan herself...
