Chapter 202: Return to Zhao
Uninhabited Valley.
In a small building.
"Hubu Shangshu, Zhu Wenqing!"
Li Wuji looked at the three of them and said word by word.
Thinking of Zhu Wenqing's father and son's previous stammering with him, Li Wuji couldn't help but sneer in his heart, if it weren't for the usefulness of keeping Zhu Wenqing's dog life, the Zhu family would have been left behind.
Hearing Li Wuji's answer, the three people present were stunned again, they didn't expect that the person who aided the abuse actually held an important position in the court.
"Your Highness, since you have found out what happened back then, and you are willing to avenge the shame of the first emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, from today onwards, all the secret guards are willing to obey His Highness's dispatch and swear to follow!"
Zhu Zheng glanced at Lei Yan beside him, and after the two nodded silently, they knelt on the ground at the same time and saluted respectfully.
"Hurry up, two of you!"
Li Wuji hurriedly got up and helped the two of them up with his own hands.
"Your Highness, you suddenly found the Uninhabited Valley, is there something wrong? But it doesn't hurt to say, I'll wait until I die! ”
Zhu Zheng looked at Li Wuji and asked seriously.
"I can't hide it, this time it's not far away, I'm here for the Red Dragon Seal."
"I heard that after my father realized that something was wrong at that time, he sent an envoy to leave the capital with the Red Dragon Seal, and was later taken in by you?"
Li Wuji looked at the two of them and said slowly.
"Your Highness, please come with me."
Zhu Zheng was stunned for a moment, hesitated to say a word, and took the lead to walk out, as if he didn't expect that Li Wuji could find out that the Red Dragon Seal was in the uninhabited valley.
The group followed Zhu Zheng all the way out of the village, came to the back mountain, and found a tomb with a wordless tombstone standing on the side.
"Your Highness, what is buried here is the messenger who swore to take the Red Dragon Seal out of the capital back then."
Zhu Zheng pointed to the grave and said with a sigh.
"Dead?!"
Ye Lanting frowned and said in surprise.
He didn't expect that the messenger he had been sending people to track down was no longer in the world.
Li Wuji was silent, stepped forward slowly, and bowed to the wordless tombstone, with a solemn face.
"When he escaped from the capital, he was already seriously wounded, and although he was later taken in by us, he died of his injuries within two years, and followed His Royal Highness the Prince."
"When he was dying, he specially told the old man that his name should not be left on the tombstone, because he did not fulfill the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and died halfway."
Lei Yan sighed, recalled the situation at the time, and said slowly.
"After he succeeds in the day, he has a share of credit!"
Li Wuji bent down and grabbed a handful of soil, and as he spoke, he loosened his five fingers, and the wind swept by, and the sand fluttered, scattered on the mound.
Several people present looked at Li Wuji's tough and upright figure, and they all bent down and bowed respectfully, with reverence between their eyebrows.
"Your Highness, please come with the old minister, and then hand over the Red Dragon Seal to Your Highness."
Zhu Zheng said respectfully and slowly turned to leave.
Soon, everyone followed Zhu Zheng to Zhu Zheng's residence and walked into a secret room, and then Zhu Zheng found a box from the hidden place and handed it to Li Wuji.
Li Wuji opened the box, and then saw a jade seal with a golden dragon wrapped around his body, and the golden dragon spit dragon balls, lifelike.
"Finally handing over this thing to its owner, it's also a matter of the old minister's heart."
Zhu Zheng sighed and said sincerely.
"To be able to get this thing, no man's valley is indispensable!"
Li Wuji looked at Zhu Zheng and Lei Yan, and said with a serious face.
"As a secret guard, all this is a matter of course for us, although the first emperor is no longer there, we will still follow His Highness in the future, and I will never give up."
Zhu Zheng bowed and said firmly.
"Okay, but until the time comes, you should stay here, and I will send someone to inform you when he needs it in the future."
Li Wuji nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Zhu and Lei bowed and responded in unison.
"It's not too early, and it's time for us to take our leave."
Li Wuji smiled, handed the Red Dragon Seal to Lu Yuan beside him, and said slowly.
"Your Highness is in such a hurry? If you don't stay in the valley for a few more days, let us know what has happened to you over the years. ”
Hearing that Li Wuji was leaving, Lei Yan said with some reluctance.
"There is a long way to go, and there are opportunities."
"On this trip to the north, the empress also sent someone to follow, called assistance, but in fact, it was surveillance, and if it was delayed for too long, it would inevitably cause suspicion."
Li Wuji waved his hand and said with a smile.
After listening to Li Wuji's answer, Zhu Zheng and Lei Yan did not force it anymore, and personally sent Li Wuji and his party out of the No Man's Valley.
…
Northland.
In a mountain forest located within the border of the country, there were corpses lying everywhere, all dressed as Jianghu people, and they died in a terrible state, all of them were beheaded!
In the pit on one side, a raging fire burns, and everyone's heads are being burned by the flames!
Li Wuji stood near the deep pit, with his hands behind his back, staring at all this coldly, without a trace of expression on his face.
By his side, in addition to Lu Yuan, there were more than a dozen Tianshu brought by Dillon.
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Leng Yue came quickly with the Five Elements Division, and after seeing the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but look solemn.
Even she, who was used to seeing big scenes, was shocked by the scene in front of her.
"It seems that Lord Leng has also found the traces of these people, but he is a step too late."
"You've lost."
Li Wuji heard the footsteps, said lightly, and did not look back.
Hearing Li Wuji's words, Leng Yue frowned and didn't say anything, because she knew that the reason why she appeared here was because she was secretly following Li Wuji, not that the murderer was here.
"They are Pang Xun's old department?!"
Leng Yue looked at the headless corpses, then at the pit full of firelight, and asked hesitantly.
"What? Lord Leng wants to go in and confirm them one by one? ”
Li Wuji smiled, turned his head to look at Leng Yue, and asked lightly.
"Now that you've been arrested, why don't you bring it back to Windy City for trial? See if they still have the same party? ”
Leng Yue frowned and asked slowly.
"Rebellious ministers and thieves, there is more than enough to die, if they are willing to recruit, the Five Elements Division will not be able to completely eradicate them for so long."
Li Wuji sneered, and there was a hint of disdain between his words.
Listening to Li Wuji's words, Leng Yue's face couldn't help but change, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
However, before the cold moon attacked, Li Wuji had already turned around and walked down the mountain, ignoring the cold moon no longer.
Leng Yue stood in place, looking at the corpse-strewn mountains and forests again, her face was solemn, and her eyebrows were full of hesitation.
…
Windy City.
Zhenbei Military Guard.
"This time, all the murderers can be brought to justice, thanks to Hou Ye, he prepared a little thin wine to show his heart, and I hope Hou Ye will not dislike it."
The great general Meng Jie sat opposite Li Wuji and said with a grateful face.
"General Meng's words are serious, you and I are just doing things for Your Majesty, but the general is an official in the army, and he is just an idle person below, how can he say thank you and do your best."
"What's more, this trip to the north was able to complete the task so smoothly, and it also has the credit of Lord Leng, although Lord Leng did not have any substantial help, but fortunately, I have been running for several days for this, I want to thank her, and I should thank her together."
Li Wuji smiled, and as he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and turned his head to look at Leng Yue, who was silent.
Hearing Li Wuji's words, Leng Yue's face was blue and purple for a while, and it was difficult to see the extreme.
"Thank you, Lord Leng!"
But Meng Jie was not interested, so he really raised his glass to Leng Yue and said gratefully.
Leng Yue gritted her teeth, raised her glass and drank it all, and put the wine glass on the table heavily.
"I still have something to do, go first, and drink slowly!"
When the words fell, Leng Yue had already walked out without looking back, and she could feel the anger on her body from afar.
"Is this angry?"
Li Wuji smiled and said jokingly.
"Lord Leng has a temperament, and Master Hou is not strange."
Meng Jie smiled and defended Leng Yue, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Oh? The general knows her so well? Could it be? ”
Li Wuji turned his head to look at Meng Jie, deliberately showing a playful smile, and stopped talking.
The meaning of his words can be seen by a discerning person who knows what is implied.
Meng Jie on the side was stunned for a moment, hurriedly waved his hand, and his face turned a little red...
