Windy City.

Zhenbei Military Guard.

"Master Hou said with a smile, the last general and Leng Zhenfu Envoy met for the first time, I could always hear some rumors before, knowing that the Five Elements Division was extremely powerful in the capital, and Leng Zhenfu was very favored by His Majesty."

"But compared to Lord Hou, I'm afraid those rumors are not worth mentioning, now looking at the world, who doesn't know the name of Anhou?"

Meng Jie smiled and waved his hand, put away his shyness, and said with a serious face, his eyes full of admiration.

"General Meng is really a bowl of water, and everyone has good things to say."

"Ben Hou thought that people who had been in the battlefield for a long time were often simple and direct, and would not cater to flattery, but the general's words just now sounded like Ben Hou reminded him of some sycophants in the capital."

"Just kidding, maybe this comparison is not appropriate, don't you be distracted, general?"

Li Wuji smiled and said jokingly.

Meng Jie shook his head, and although he didn't say much, a hint of displeasure clearly flashed across his face.

"I think I'm almost done drinking today, and it's time to stop here."

"The matter in the north has been over, it should be time for Benhou to return to the capital to resume his life, and in two days, we should leave for the capital to return, and we will not come to disturb the general in these two days."

Li Wuji paused and said slowly.

"Hou Ye Huang is in his body, then the last general will not be forced to stay, he will have the opportunity to go back to the border city in the future, and the last will entertain Hou Ye well."

"When the Hou Ye leaves the Windy City, the last general will definitely send him off in person."

Meng Jie arched his hand and said with a smile, but he didn't hold back.

"Okay, that's a deal."

"But Ben Hou has always had a question in his heart, and he wants to ask the general to help answer it, can I?"

Li Wuji asked thoughtfully.

"Master Hou said that it doesn't matter, and the last general will listen to you."

Meng Jie nodded and said respectfully.

"Many generals in the army were killed, and the impact was bad, but Ben Hou didn't find out that the general was concerned about this matter, why?"

With a question on his face, Li Wuji looked at Meng Jie sincerely and asked.

"Master Hou misunderstood, those are all brothers who have followed the last general for many years, how can the last general not care? It's just that the stakes are very high, and Ben Hou can't be affected by these things, once he messes up because of this, it will inevitably disturb the morale of the army. ”

"This is a border city, there can't be the slightest omission, otherwise it will give the enemy a chance to take advantage of the situation, and if you are not careful, you will never recover."

"But fortunately, Hou Ye is very smart, he found the real culprit so quickly, and brought him to justice, and the last general on behalf of the 200,000 soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, as well as the people of Windy City, sincerely thank Hou Ye!"

Meng Jie sighed, looked at Li Wuji with a grateful face, and said sincerely.

"The general's words are serious, you and I are just courtiers who share your Majesty's worries, but our abilities are different, our roles are also different, and we just perform our own duties, which are all taken for granted."

Li Wuji smiled and waved his hand and said slowly.

"That's what Master Hou said."

Meng Jie nodded in agreement, and didn't say anything more.

"Okay, it's not too early, it's time for Benhou to go."

Li Wuji said as he got up, probably because he drank a few more glasses, his feet were a little weak, and he couldn't help but stumble.

Seeing this, Meng Jie hurriedly stepped forward and supported Li Wuji.

"Hehe, I'm happy today, so I drank a few more glasses, but Ben Hou was not strong enough to drink, which made the general smile."

Li Wuji smiled and grabbed Meng Jie's calloused hand and said embarrassedly.

"Hou Ye is serious, Hou Ye can drink a few more cups, it is the honor of the last general and the Zhenbei Army."

Meng Jie said with a smile.

"Don't talk about it, let's go."

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell the general that the generals who were killed, Ben Hou, have already sent people to investigate, they are all some spies of the Northern Barbarians and Ningguo, they are mixed in the army, maybe they are plotting something, it is better to die."

"However, there is a secret agent of His Majesty among the dead, but it is a pity, I wonder if His Majesty will be angry with the Zhenbei Army because of this? But the general doesn't have to worry, Ben Hou will definitely say a few good words for the general when he goes back. ”

Li Wuji grabbed Meng Jie's hand, turned his head to look at Meng Jie, and said with a smile.

"How can this be?!"

"I didn't expect them to have so many identities! It seems that the last general was negligent, and tomorrow the last general will make a break and ask His Majesty for guilt. ”

Meng Jie was stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise, and then said with self-reproach.

Li Wuji patted Meng Jie's hand, no longer lingered, and slowly walked out of the guard house with Lu Yuan's support.

Meng Jie stood at the door of the main hall, watching Li Wuji walk out of the guard, frowning slightly, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

Outside the guardhouse.

Li Wuji slowly got into the carriage and walked into the carriage with Lu Yuan's support.

But the moment he stepped into the carriage, his original drunken and staggering appearance changed instantly, and the whole person immediately became extremely sober without the slightest drunkenness.

The carriage turned around and walked slowly towards the Zibo branch.

"Childe, were you testing Meng Jie just now?"

While Lu Yuan was rushing to the car, he lowered his voice and asked.

"Although he was surprised and did not show the slightest flaw, his aura still changed, and I am sure that he already knew the identities of those people, but he kept them a secret."

"He didn't dare to report it, because if he could find those spies of the Northern Barbarians and Ning Kingdom, he would definitely be able to find the secret agents that the empress had planted in the Zhenbei Army!"

"The empress can accept a brave and warlike person to guard Fengcheng, but she will never accept a person who is not only brave and good at fighting, but also resourceful, and scheming and scheming, and the city government is not inferior to ordinary people to guard Fengcheng and take charge of the northern army of Zhenbei alone!"

"Meng Jie is not simple!"

Li Wuji pursed his lips and smiled, pondered for a while, and said lightly.

Such a person is exactly the person Li Wuji needs, but he has no intention of subduing it, because a person like Meng Jie, although he is not crowned a king, he can definitely be regarded as a prince, and he will never easily submit to anyone.

He only needs to find an opportunity to let Meng Jie understand in the future that they are friends and not enemies, and what he really values is not whether Meng Jie is willing to surrender to him, but the 200,000 Zhenbei troops under Meng Jie's command!

After a long time, the carriage finally returned to the Ziboju branch, and Li Wuji continued to pretend to be drunk, staggered out of the carriage, and walked into the building.

Maybe it's because of the two days of running, I'm really a little tired, and I did drink a few more glasses, so I went back to the room and washed up and slept.

...

Under the cover of night.

A post house in the city.

"The pacification envoy has searched everywhere, but there is still no trace of the envoy, as if the world has evaporated."

One of his subordinates stood respectfully in front of Leng Yue and said with a solemn face.

"Revisit! Look for it inside and outside the city! I don't believe it, I can't find any clues! ”

"We'll have two days before we leave Windy City, there's still time!"

"But this matter needs to be hidden, don't alarm the Zhenbei Army and Li'an Hou for the time being!"

Leng Yue frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Pacification envoy, will the envoy be..."

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, and then stopped.

Although the words are not finished, the meaning is already clear.

"Live to see people! Death to see the corpse! ”

Leng Yue gritted her teeth and said coldly.

"Yes!"

The subordinate respectfully agreed, and immediately turned to leave.

Leng Yue sat on the chair, her tightly knit brows never relaxed, her fists clenched, and her face gloomy.

Not long ago, the envoy of the water line she sent to track the whereabouts of Anhou never returned, as if the world had evaporated, and the dozen or so subordinates she was carrying with her also lost all traces!

...

Three watches in the middle of the night.

Zibo branch.

A ghostly figure stepped into the air, quietly sneaked into the building, looked around, and then swept straight up to the second floor, tiptoeing towards the room where he was gone.

A bright short knife was held in the right hand of the black shadow, and with a flip of his wrist, he easily opened the door and slowly stepped in!

"Who?!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came, and a sword light flashed, and Lu Yuan, who lived in the room next to Wuji, didn't know when he had appeared outside the door, and rushed towards the black shadow like lightning!

The black shadow was obviously taken aback, and didn't care about dodging Lu Yuan's attack, he rushed into the room without looking back, and rushed straight to Li Wuji, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and stabbed the short knife in his hand into Li Wuji's throat!

Although there is no light in the house, through the faint moonlight, you can still see the approximate location of Liwuji...
