Chapter 186: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Green Fox Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain.
"It's nothing, it's just that Commander Lan is worried that there are assassins hidden in my car, so he has to let me get out of the car and be checked."
"If it weren't for His Royal Highness Taiqing's appearance, I'm afraid he would have already done something against Zaixia at this time."
Li Wuji smiled and said painlessly.
After listening to Li Wuji's answer, Li Jingyao turned her head to look at Lan Zhan beside her, revealing a dissatisfied expression.
"Your Highness, the lowly duty is responsible for guarding the last checkpoint, and all carriages must be strictly searched, and this matter has been reported to Your Majesty and approved by Your Majesty."
"So the humble post is to be ordered to do an errand, but when it is the turn to leave Anhou, I don't know if the Hou Ye is deliberately making things difficult for the humble post, or if there is something hidden in the car, deliberately embarrassing the humble duty, and refusing to get out of the car to cooperate."
Lan Zhan frowned, and hurriedly bowed down and replied, with a serious expression.
"Commander Lan, are you moving Your Majesty out of the palace to press the palace?!"
Li Jingyao's face was slightly gloomy, and she looked at Lan Zhan coldly and asked.
"Don't dare!"
"If His Royal Highness Taiqing feels that he is safe from Anhou's car, then he can follow His Highness's orders, and he will be released, but if there is an omission, His Majesty will blame him, and I hope His Royal Highness will prove his humble duties."
Lan Zhan arched his hand and said with a serious face.
"This palace believes that without Anhou, there will be no assassins hidden in his car!"
"If Your Majesty asks, this palace will explain it to Your Majesty personally!"
"Let it go!"
Li Jingyao said coldly with a calm face.
She knew in her heart that Lan Zhan had always held a grudge against Li Wuji when Cheng Zifeng was killed.
"Honorable Order!"
Lan Zhan agreed without hesitation, and immediately waved his hand, letting his subordinates get out of the way, no longer blocking Li Wuji.
"Wait a minute!"
But at this moment, another voice suddenly came, and then a figure dressed in a green robe and holding a long sword walked out of the crowd and walked quickly to the front of Li Jingyao, it was the Five Elements Division's envoy, Leng Yue!
Seeing Leng Yue appear, Li Wuji couldn't help but pout, revealing a sneer.
What should have come and what shouldn't have come has come.
It's really a narrow road!
"What's the matter with you?!"
Li Jingyao turned her head to look at Leng Yue and asked in a deep voice.
"Back to His Royal Highness Taiqing, since Commander Lan is on an errand, he can't be sloppy in the slightest, otherwise once something happens, all of us will be to blame!"
Leng Yue respectfully saluted Li Jingyao and said seriously.
"You want to check it too?!"
Li Jingyao frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"It is the responsibility of our courtiers to arrest the assassins, not to mention that the assassins assassinated His Majesty, the stakes are very high, and the rules must not be broken because of a certain person!"
"If Li Anhou refuses to search his carriage, it means that he thinks that His Majesty's safety is more important than his face, and such thoughts are disrespectful!"
"What's more, it's so decent, I don't know where the injury on Hou Ye's hand came from?!"
Leng Yue arched her hand and said categorically.
"You're hurt?"
Hearing Leng Yue's words, Li Jingyao noticed that Li Wuji's left hand was wrapped in a strip of cloth, and blood had oozed out, and it seemed that he had just been injured.
"Accidentally scratched, it's just a minor injury, Your Highness doesn't have to worry."
Li Wuji explained with a smile.
Looking at the injury on Li Wuji's hand, Li Jingyao couldn't help frowning, fell into silence, and was unable to make a decision for a while.
To be honest, even she is starting to doubt it now!
"It seems that if you don't check my carriage today, you won't give up?!"
Li Wuji sneered, looked at Lan Zhan and Leng Yue, and asked coldly.
"Where the responsibility is, I hope that the Hou Ye will cooperate!"
Leng Yue's face was expressionless, and she replied confidently.
"Okay, Ben Hou understands that you are doing your duty, you can check!"
"But if you can't find anything, you must get down on your knees and apologize in front of everyone!"
Li Wuji snorted coldly and said with a pale face.
"If you can't find anything, you will naturally kneel down to apologize to Lord Hou!"
Leng Yue nodded and said without thinking.
"What about you?"
Li Wuji turned his head to look at Lan Zhan and asked in a deep voice.
"Since the envoys of Leng Zhen have agreed, the last general will naturally be the same."
Lan Zhan arched his hand and said pretending to be respectful.
"Okay, since you want to check, then check!"
Li Wuji said coldly, disdainfully.
As soon as the words fell, Leng Yue was already the first to step forward, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand and pushing open the carriage door with the other!
Everyone looked at it attentively, including Li Jingyao!
But as the door opened, there was no one inside, only a sword box lay across the carriage, and the sandalwood box was stained with a trace of blood that had not completely dried up!
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces couldn't help but change.
Especially Lan Zhan and Leng Yue, they were almost certain that the assassin was hiding in the carriage, and they had even begun to suspect that Li Wuji was the mastermind behind it!
"What about the Assassins? Isn't it going to be invisible?! ”
"Come out of here! You've been discovered! ”
Li Wuji pointed to the empty carriage and said with a sneer.
Hearing Li Wuji's taunt, Lan Zhan and Leng Yue's faces were hard to see.
But Leng Yue didn't intend to give up, and after a little hesitation, she unwillingly stepped on the wheel, and was about to get into the carriage!
"Get out!"
Li Wuji's face sank, and he screamed, and suddenly rushed out like lightning, kicking Leng Yue's back heart!
Leng Yue sensed a strong wind behind her, and she didn't have time to hesitate, so she hurriedly turned around and protected her chest with her arms!
A dull sound came, and Leng Yue, who was already standing on the wheel, was kicked in both arms by Li Wuji's strong force, and couldn't help but fly backwards backwards, staggering back a few steps before he stabilized his figure!
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned again, no one thought that Li Wuji would suddenly make a move on Leng Yue!
At this time, Leng Yue's face was pale, her arms were almost unconscious, and her whole person was embarrassed.
"Now that it's confirmed, what else do you want?!"
"Benhou's carriage, can anyone come in and out at will?!"
Li Wuji looked coldly at Leng Yue, who fell on the other end of the carriage, his face was pale, and he asked coldly, his voice was full of killing intent.
Leng Yue gritted her teeth, glanced at the indifferent Lan Zhan unwillingly, stretched out her numb right hand, and held it on the hilt of the sword!
"Enough!"
At this moment, Li Jingyao spoke again, her face was also not good-looking.
"Since it's been confirmed that there's nothing inside, you won't let it go?!"
Li Jingyao glared at Lan Zhan and Leng Yue, and said in a deep voice.
Hearing Li Jingyao's words, Lan Zhan hurriedly agreed respectfully, and Leng Yue had no choice but to grit her teeth and bow respectfully.
"Wait, you two seem to have promised something."
Li Wuji was unforgiving, and said coldly.
Hearing Li Wuji's words, Lan Zhan and Leng Yue's faces changed, but they were helpless, and they walked in front of Li Wuji together, and they were about to kneel.
"Not with me, but with His Royal Highness Taiqing!"
"His Royal Highness Taiqing personally made a guarantee, but you turned a deaf ear to it, and it was His Royal Highness Taiqing's face!"
Li Wuji waved his hand and said coldly.
Hearing Li Wuji's words, Lan Zhan and Leng Yue were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly apologized to Li Jingyao on their knees.
"That's it! Get up! ”
"Hurry up, don't delay the time to return to Beijing!"
Li Jingyao said in a deep voice, then glanced at Li Wuji with relief, no longer lingered, and turned to walk towards his carriage that was heading to the distance.
Li Wuji glanced coldly at Lan Zhan and Leng Yue, who were still kneeling on the ground and watching away from Jingyao, and went straight to the carriage.
As the carriage from Wuji passed the checkpoint, the two kneeling on the ground slowly got up, and a look of unwillingness flashed in their eyes at the same time.
"Commander Lan is really judging the situation!"
Leng Yue glared at Lan Zhan, dropped a sentence in a strange way, and turned to leave, her face pale.
Lan Zhan stood in place, ignoring Leng Yue, looking in the direction where Wuji had left, clenching his fists tightly, and then followed closely with Yan Yuwei, escorting him all the way to the capital.
After all the civil and military officials evacuated Qinghu Mountain, everyone in the Royal Forest Army, the Five Elements Division, and the Duying Guard continued to search the mountain, almost turning Qinghu Mountain upside down, but still did not find any trace of the assassins.
The female assassin who suddenly appeared in Qinghu Mountain disappeared without a trace as if the world had evaporated for a while...
