The Lord's Mansion of Yong'an County.

Ling Yuyan stood at the door of the main hall, looking at Li Wuji who was slowly walking towards her, her expression was slightly nervous, and her cramped hands didn't know where to put them.

When she heard Xia Qiu say that Li Wuji came to visit, the joy in her heart was indescribable, and the depression and happiness that had been in place for many days disappeared in an instant.

Since the last separation, she has been blaming herself, thinking that from now on she will not leave Anhou again.

"Childe."

After getting closer to Wuji, Ling Yuyan bowed slightly and opened her mouth nervously.

"Long time no see."

Li Wuji smiled and said softly.

"Hmm."

Ling Yuyan nodded, but she could only scribble in agreement, not knowing what to say.

She didn't know how to deal with Liwuji anymore.

"Won't you invite me to a cup of tea?"

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan, who was at a loss, and asked with a smile.

"Oh, yes!"

"Childe, please!"

Ling Yuyan came back to her senses, hurriedly stepped aside, and said embarrassedly.

Li Wuji smiled without saying a word, walked inside, and when he passed by Ling Yuyan's side, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his heart rippled in an instant.

In fact, these days, he has been thinking about Ling Yuyan all the time, but he has no time to dwell on the personal affairs of his children, so he can only love each other alone at night.

In the main hall, the two sat opposite each other, and the familiarity of the past seemed to be suddenly gone, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Ling Yuyan didn't know how to deal with herself, so she didn't talk much, she just casually shushed and asked for a few words before falling into a long silence.

"I'm here to say goodbye."

Li Wuji was silent for a long time, and after taking a sip of tea, he said lightly.

"Where to go?!"

"What to do?!"

"Is there any danger?!"

As soon as Ling Yuyan finished listening, she couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"Go out and do something."

Li Wuji smiled and replied slowly.

He knew that she cared about him.

"Is it dangerous?"

Ling Yuyan also realized that her performance just now was a little too much, she coughed awkwardly, readjusted her emotions, and asked softly.

"Nope."

Li Wuji smiled and said casually.

"That's good, how long do you have to go?"

Ling Yuyan nodded and continued to ask.

"It could be soon, or it could be a long time, we don't know."

Li Wuji told the truth, and said helplessly.

"Okay, then I wish Childe a smooth journey and return as soon as possible."

Ling Yuyan smiled and said with a serious face, as if she was praying to heaven.

"You've lately... All right? ”

Li Wuji hesitated and asked slowly, looking at Ling Yuyan with straight eyes.

"Good."

"Thank you for your concern."

Ling Yuyan nodded and replied softly, embarrassed to avoid Li Wuji's gaze.

"Okay, take care of yourself, I'll go first."

Li Wuji took a sip of tea, said with a smile, and got up directly.

"This is leaving?!"

When Ling Yuyan heard this, she couldn't help but get up and asked loudly, confused, with surprise and reluctance in her eyes.

"I'm not leaving today, but it's only in the past few days, I just want to come and see you before leaving, after all, I don't know when we will meet next time."

"Now that I've seen it, it's time for me to go."

Li Wuji nodded and said slowly, with reluctance in his eyes.

To be honest, he really wanted to take her with him, but he knew that it was impossible.

"Okay, then the boy will go slowly, and Yu Yan won't send it."

Ling Yuyan bit her lip, bowed, and said in disappointment.

"Stay."

Li Wuji smiled, and as he spoke, he had walked straight out of the main hall and walked towards the gate.

Ling Yuyan stood in place, watching Li Wuji gradually disappear from her sight, and she couldn't explain all the feelings in her heart.

The tea on the table was still steaming, but Li Wuji left in a hurry, and she had an indescribable grievance in her heart, not because of Li Wuji, but because of her own fate.

She knew that if she left Wuji, there would definitely be danger.

If Li Wuji had just answered that she was in danger, then she wouldn't be worried, because she believed that he could face it.

But Li Wuji's answer is no, there is only one possibility, that is, the danger encountered on this trip is unknown, uncontrollable, what will happen, even Li Wuji himself does not know.

Therefore, at this time, Ling Yuyan was extremely worried in her heart, but she could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Li Wuji would come back safe and sound.

…

Cloud Palace.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that what your lords said in the court is right, if you want to ensure the stability of the northern border, Li'anhou is the best candidate."

Shi Wei knelt in the center of the hall and said with a reverent expression.

Kneeling beside him, there was also the Five Elements Division's pacification envoy, Leng Yue.

In the early days of the dynasty today, when the empress mentioned the matter of the northern border, many ministers almost unanimously said that leaving Anhou was the best candidate for a trip to the northern border.

These people include Luo Ping, the commander of the capital camp guard, Zhu Wenqing, the secretary of the household department, and Cui Yunqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"But although the Marquis of Li'an is a marquis, he has no official position, is it inappropriate to let him go to the north to settle this matter?"

The empress frowned and said hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, because of this, he is the best candidate, this trip to the north is not to lead troops to fight, nor to act for the imperial court in the affairs of the north."

"Since the other party assassinated the generals of our border army in the way of rivers and lakes, then solve it in the way of rivers and lakes, Li'an Hou is the next suzerain heir of Wuji Sect, in the name of Wuji Sect, which sect in the rivers and lakes dares to despise it?"

"What's more, the other party is just a group of old Pang Xun troops gathered in a rabble?"

Shi Wei arched his hands and analyzed it seriously.

After listening to Shi Wei's answer, the empress suddenly felt justified and couldn't help but nodded.

However, Leng Yue, who was kneeling beside Shi Wei, frowned, and a sneer flashed at the corner of her mouth.

"Spread my will and summon Anhou to the palace for an audience!"

After pondering for a moment, the empress said in a deep voice.

Immediately, Hongyuwei received the holy order and hurried out of the palace to Li'anhou Mansion.

After a long time, Li Wuji was ordered to enter the palace and came to the Cloud Palace.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

After leaving Wuji and entering the hall, he slowly walked to Leng Yue and Shi Wei, who were kneeling on the ground, bowed his hand, and said respectfully.

"Excuse me!"

The empress nodded with satisfaction, looked at Li Wuji directly, and waved her hand.

"I don't know what His Majesty summoned to enter the palace?"

Li Wuji asked slowly with a harmless smile on his face.

"The border city in the north was suddenly attacked by the forces of the rivers and lakes, resulting in the loss of many soldiers in the border army, I suspect that it is the old department of Pang Xun, the former national teacher of the former dynasty, so I think about it, and hope to leave Aiqing to go to the north in person to help me solve this matter."

"I don't know what to do with Aiqing?"

The empress looked at Li Wuji and said with a serious face.

"I have mentioned it to people many times in the next place, as long as His Majesty and the court need to serve in the next place, I will not hesitate to do so!"

"Since Your Majesty has said so, how can you refuse to shirk?"

Li Wuji smiled and arched his hands and said seriously.

"Good!"

"I am very relieved to be so loyal and patriotic to Aiqing!"

When the empress heard this, she immediately smiled and said with satisfaction.

"It is an honor to share the sorrows of Your Majesty as a subject."

Li Wuji said without hurry.

"In that case, let's go back and prepare for Aiqing first, and set off for the north early tomorrow morning."

"However, this trip is a long way, and it is a little difficult, so I specially ordered the Five Elements Division to calm Leng Yue and go with Aiqing, so I can take care of it."

The empress smiled and pointed to Leng Yue on the side and said.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Li Wuji bowed gratefully, then turned to look at Leng Yue.

"In this way, I have to rely on Lord Leng's advice a lot along the way."

Li Wuji looked at Leng Yue and said hello with a smile.

"Don't dare!"

Leng Yue returned the salute and replied in a stiff tone.

Li Wuji smiled without saying a word, and then said goodbye to the empress and left the palace.

In fact, all of this is just the result of his secret planning, there is no old department of Pang Xun who has become a force in the rivers and lakes in the north, and those people are all from Qingxuanmen, in order to create chaos and give him a reason to leave the capital and go to the north.

And the reason why the empress finally sent him to the northern realm was because he had not been idle for half a month, but frequently walked around with Luo Ping, Zhu Wenqing, Cui Yunqi and others, so that as soon as the empress mentioned the matter of the northern realm, those people immediately thought of him as the future sect master of the Wuji Sect! So they recommended him one after another!

Everything is under his control...
