Windy City.

Zibo branch.

"It's such a beautiful girl."

"The girl looks so familiar, huh?"

Leng Yue looked at Su Wanqing in the room, also returned the salute with a fist, frowned, and asked suspiciously.

"Really?"

"I heard that Leng Zhenfu has a personal guard around him, named Lan Ying, all of them are girls like flowers and jade, could it be that some of them look very similar to me?"

Su Wanqing said jokingly as she slowly walked to the door and stood behind Li Wuji with a slight smile on her face.

"Perhaps."

Leng Yue pursed her lips and smiled, and said slowly, and did not continue to entangle, because what she said just now was actually just a temptation.

"By the way, Master Hou, I don't know who assassinated you just now?"

Leng Yue looked at Li Wuji again and asked softly.

"I'm still investigating, but if Ben Hou guessed correctly, it should be Pang Xun's old department."

Li Wuji shook his head and said thoughtfully.

"I didn't expect that there are still remnants of Pang Xun's old department in this Windy City, it seems that I have to remind General Meng tomorrow that it is time to clean up this Windy City."

"Since the Hou Ye is fine, then the humble post will retire first, and the Hou Ye will rest early."

Leng Yue arched her hand, and after speaking, she turned to leave.

"Lord Leng walks slowly."

Li Wuji smiled and said casually.

"Master Hou? How do you feel that there is a smell of blood coming from your house, it can't be that something is wrong, right? ”

But Leng Yue had just taken a few steps and suddenly turned back, walked quickly to the door of the room, and kept looking inside.

"What? Lord Leng is suspicious of me? Could it be that Ben Hou has to report to Lord Leng if he kills someone casually? ”

"Why don't you go in and search?"

Li Wuji sneered, and as he spoke, he let go of the door and asked coldly.

As Li Wuji opened the door, Leng Yue had already seen a corpse lying in a pool of blood lying on the ground in the middle of the house, but because it was blocked by Lu Yuan, he only saw half of the corpse's body, and did not see the whole picture.

"I don't dare."

Leng Yue hurriedly bowed, and as she spoke, she raised her eyes and glanced at the corpse, hesitated, and turned to leave.

Seeing Leng Yue walking all the way downstairs, a sneer of disdain gradually appeared on Li Wuji's face.

"Fortunately, Lu Shaoxia has already changed Tan Sheng's outfit, otherwise she might really be recognized."

Su Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a happy face.

"Wipe out the body, don't leave any clues."

Li Wuji snorted lightly, turned back to the room, and said coldly.

Lu Yuan agreed, and immediately called Dillon, carried Tan Sheng's body to the backyard, and buried it directly on the spot.

...

Two days later.

Li Wuji accompanied the Five Elements Division up and down and set off back to the capital to resume his life.

At the city gates.

"Hou Ye's trip to the north of the country, successfully helped the Zhenbei Army punish the real murderer, it is really hard, the last general is grateful, and when he returns to the capital during the New Year's Festival, the last general will definitely come to the door to thank him."

Meng Jie bowed and said with a grateful face.

"The general's words are serious, although Ben Hou is not on duty in the court, but he admires the general very much, and the safety of me leaving the north of the country, thanks to the presence of the general, it is the honor of Ben Hou to do a little bit for the general."

"If he gets together in the capital on the day, he will definitely not get drunk with the general and will not return!"

Li Wuji smiled, hugged his fists, and said seriously.

"The last general will definitely sacrifice his life to accompany him!"

Meng Jie nodded heavily and said loudly.

"It's not too early, it's time to leave, the general stays."

Li Wuji smiled, and after speaking, he turned and got into the carriage.

"This trip is a long way, and Lord Hou cherishes it."

Meng Jie gave it away and told him carefully.

Then, the convoy immediately set off, slowly drove out of the city gate, and returned in the direction of the capital.

From beginning to end, Meng Jie didn't talk to Leng Yue, and Leng Yue didn't seem to like Meng Jie very well, so he also ignored it.

Perhaps, it was because from the beginning Meng Jie's eyes only left Anhou and did not have her.

Meng Jie, with a group of generals, stood under the city gate, and watched the convoy gradually disappear from his sight.

"Is there any whereabouts of the missing envoy of the Five Elements Division?"

After a long time, Meng Jie asked slowly.

"General Huiyu, no, his subordinates suspect that eighty percent of this person is dead."

"According to the information found, this person disappeared on the way out of Anhou on the order to follow him, and has not been heard from since."

An adjutant general bowed and said respectfully.

Listening to his subordinate's answer, Meng Jie narrowed his eyes, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that the Five Elements Division doesn't trust Li'anhou, I don't know if it's Leng Yue's own intentions, or the empress's intentions."

The adjutant general hesitated for a moment and continued.

Meng Jie didn't take a stubble, but he couldn't help but think of the spies who were placed in the Zhenbei Army by the empress.

In this rebellion in the north, only one person died, which made him a little disappointed.

"In addition, the killer who assassinated Li Anhou in the city that night has been checked by his subordinates, and it seems that it is not as Li Anhou said, it is Pang Xun's old department."

The adjutant remembered something and continued.

"Can you find out who did it?"

Meng Jie frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Nope..."

"Li Anhou seems to be deliberately hiding the true identity of the killer, and the body is cleanly handled."

The adjutant shook his head and said helplessly.

Listening to the lieutenant's words, Meng Jie's brow furrowed even deeper and fell silent.

However, he also understands that this is far more difficult than he imagined from Anhou.

...

Ten days later.

Capital.

"County Lord, you have been standing here for almost an hour, go back to the carriage to rest and rest first, the slave and maid are watching here, as long as they see the banner of the Five Elements Division, they will call you immediately."

Xia Qiu held Ling Yuyan's arm and said with a concerned expression.

"Out of the way, wait, it should be almost there."

Ling Yuyan shook her head and looked out of the city gate with anticipation.

Two days ago, the capital had already received the news that Li Anhou and the Five Elements Division were about to arrive in the capital, and according to the calculation of time, it would be today at the latest, so Ling Yuyan came to the city gate early, waiting for Li Wuji to appear.

In addition to Ling Yuyan's arrival to greet him, Luo Ping, the commander of the battalion guards, also came, and was standing outside the city gate pacing back and forth.

In addition, there are also Xiao Hongxing, Zhu Hexuan, and Pang Xiaoxiao, accompanied by Cao Zi'an, is also guarding the vicinity of the Duying guards, which is some distance from Ling Yuyan's carriage.

Ling Yuyan knew that her identity was special, so she didn't get too close, and she didn't plan to get close to Li Wuji, so as not to attract criticism from Li Wuji.

She just wanted to watch Li Wuji return safely, and then quietly left while no one was looking.

...

"That's the Lord of Yong'an, right?"

Pang Xiaoxiao inadvertently saw Ling Yuyan standing not far away with two entourages by her side, hesitated, and asked slowly.

"Yes..."

Cao Zi'an turned his head to look, frowned, and replied in a low voice, his face embarrassed.

Miss's friendship with Childe, he has long seen it, but Childe's eyes seem to only be the Lord of Yong'an.

Pang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, and an inexplicable sense of loss rose in her heart.

...

"County Lord, the carriage of the East Palace!"

At this moment, the sword servant Bi Luo, who was standing behind Ling Yuyan, frowned, looked at a carriage slowly coming from a distance, and said with a somewhat solemn face.

Ling Yuyan was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look in the direction of the carriage, and subconsciously dodged to the side, turning her back, as if she was deliberately dodging.

However, when the carriage of the East Palace approached, it suddenly stopped, and it was close to Ling Yuyan.

"I didn't expect to meet the county lord of Yong'an here, it seems that you are very worried about leaving Anhou in your heart."

Li Jingyao's voice slowly came out of the carriage.

"Yu Yan has seen His Royal Highness Taiqing!"

Now that she had been recognized, Ling Yuyan had no choice but to turn around and salute respectfully to the carriage.

"I heard that you almost never set foot out of the gate of the county lord's mansion, and you and I seem to have been missing you for years, right? Now that I think about it, time flies so fast. ”

Li Jingyao said with emotion.

"Back to His Royal Highness Taiqing, Yu Yan is just passing by here, and it is an honor for Yu Yan to see His Royal Highness Taiqing again."

Ling Yuyan lowered her head and said respectfully.

"In that case, this palace hopes that you will understand what you should and should not do, but don't do anything that you regret."

Li Jingyao snorted lightly and said slowly, the meaning between the words is self-evident.

"Yu Yan understands."

Ling Yuyan slowly agreed, her face struggling.

Xia Qiu and Bi Luo on the side lowered their heads deeply, although they were unhappy for Ling Yuyan in their hearts, they didn't dare to make a mistake.

"Your Highness, here."

At this moment, Tong Zhuo, who was driving the car, looked outside the city gate and whispered.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Li Jingyao opened the brocade curtain at the door of the carriage and glanced at it, and hurriedly urged.

Tong Zhuo raised his horsewhip and drove quickly towards the city gate.

Ling Yuyan also raised her head, looking at the carriage slowly coming outside the city gate and the flag of the Five Elements Division fluttering in the wind, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He's finally back...
