The Lord's Mansion of Yong'an County.

In the pavilion in the backyard, Li Wuji and Ling Yuyan sat opposite each other.

Maybe it was really as Xia Qiu said, Li Wuji's attitude at the city gate had made Ling Yuyan completely sad, and at this moment, in front of Li Wuji, she became speechless, and she never even raised her head.

Looking at Ling Yuyan, who was obviously very disappointed, but stubbornly behaved calmly, Li Wuji was extremely distressed, and he couldn't wait to go directly to her and take her into her arms.

"How are you doing this month?"

Li Wuji looked silent for a long time, and finally took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Very good, don't worry about the marquis."

Ling Yuyan nodded lightly and replied softly.

"But you don't look good at all, otherwise why are you so emaciated?"

"You've lost weight."

Li Wuji shook his head and overturned Ling Yuyan's rhetoric.

Ling Yuyan glanced up at Li Wuji, and stopped talking.

"You're still mad at me."

Li Wuji continued.

"Nope!"

Ling Yuyan shook her head stubbornly, and after speaking, she got up directly and walked to the side, with her back to Li Wuji.

"I didn't greet you at the city gate today, not because I didn't care, but because I couldn't, there were too many people around at that time, and I didn't want to cause you trouble because of my initiative."

"Especially Li Jingyao, if she sees that you and I have a great relationship, it will definitely cause you unnecessary trouble."

"I don't want to go too far, but you should be able to understand it."

Li Wuji took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and said slowly.

"You mean Taiqing likes you, right? Who doesn't know the whole capital? ”

"What kind of character is Taiqing? Under one person, above ten thousand, this is the son's own choice, Yu Yan can't climb high, and there is no blessing. ”

Ling Yuyan snorted coldly and said angrily.

"You're angry again."

"You should know best what kind of person I am, you should know that I am not a person who leans on grass and trees, and you don't care about it!"

"But one thing you're right about is that she does have a high status, and if she gets into trouble with me, I'm confident I can handle it, but what about you?"

Li Wuji shook his head, got up slowly, and patiently explained.

Listening to Li Wuji's words, Ling Yuyan was silent.

"And the Five Elements Division, you should have heard of the grievances between me and the Five Elements Division's pacification envoy Leng Yue, if you let her know that I care about you very much, what if she takes the opportunity to embarrass you?"

"As a proton, you have been in the capital for many years, I don't need to tell you how dangerous it is here, you all know it, I can not care about anyone's life or death, but I don't want to involve you."

"Do you know how happy I was when I saw you at the gates today? But I can only pretend that nothing happened, and that I feel worse than you. ”

"I know that it is not easy for you, but I also understand your situation, there are some things, I know if you don't say it, this is the reason why I don't want to bring you unwarranted disasters."

"Maybe these are the reasons why you pushed me away again and again, but my heart has never changed."

Li Wuji slowly got up, walked behind Ling Yuyan, and said meaningfully.

Ling Yuyan's body tensed, standing quietly in place, her hands clasped tightly together, from Li Wuji's words, she already understood that what she did in secret, maybe he already knew, just pretending that nothing had happened.

She forgave him.

Or perhaps, she never blamed him, just because she cared about him.

"So I have been with you, so I am now, and so I will be, no matter where you put me."

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan's slightly shrugged shoulders, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but want to reach out and caress the bundle of hair.

But halfway through the hand, it stopped, and reluctantly withdrew.

"Childe is very affectionate, Yu Yan can't repay it, maybe you and I shouldn't have met from beginning to end."

Ling Yuyan was silent for a long time, then plucked up the courage to speak.

But as soon as the words fell, her bowels were already repentant, but she had no choice.

Fate prevented her from choosing her own path!

Hearing Ling Yuyan's words, Li Wuji couldn't help but smile bitterly, his heart was extremely lost, he turned his back to Ling Yuyan, hiding his sadness, and then raised the teacup and drank it all.

How he wished there was wine in his glass! So that he can paralyze all the feelings at this time!

"It's getting late, I should go back, and I have to enter the palace tomorrow."

Li Wuji let out a long breath and said slowly.

"Childe walks slowly."

Ling Yuyan still turned her back to Li Wuji, and said bluntly, without the slightest retention.

"Take care of yourself and stop treating yourself badly for the sake of irrelevant people."

"If you want to do something, just do it, with me, no one dares to hurt you in the whole casino!"

Li Wuji hesitated for a moment, said lightly, and walked straight to the door without looking back.

Ling Yuyan stood in the pavilion and never looked back, but she had already burst into tears.

She blamed herself for her willfulness, and even more blamed herself for her involuntary fate.

"You can't be with your son in this life, and you will definitely live up to it in the next life."

Ling Yuyan was crying and muttering to herself, heartbroken.

Not far away, looking at Ling Yuyan's sad back, Xia Qiu bit her lip and couldn't help but want to rush forward, but was stopped by Bi Luo.

"The county lord is too bitter."

Xia Qiu choked up and said.

"You shouldn't blame Master Hou in front of her, you know that they all care about each other so much."

Bi Luo said slowly, sighing helplessly.

"It was me who was wrong..."

Xia Qiu choked up and said, she knew everything in her heart, otherwise how could she dare to easily offend the high-ranking Li'an Hou.

...

Early the next morning.

Cloud Palace.

On the top of the main hall, the empress sat on the dragon couch, looking at Li Wuji standing in front of her with a gratifying face, and her eyes flashed with a trace of love that could not be concealed.

If it weren't for her daughter, she would have already tried her best to get Li Wuji to her side.

"The northern line, if it weren't for the resourcefulness of the child, I'm afraid it would be difficult to solve it so smoothly, this is a great achievement, I should reward you heavily."

"Say, what do you want?"

The empress pondered for a moment and asked slowly, with a smile on her face.

"Serving the imperial court and sharing worries for His Majesty is the responsibility of thousands of people who have left the country, and it is an honor in the future, how dare you ask for merit and reward."

Li Wuji arched his hand and said with a smile.

"The son is concerned about the court, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and I am very comforted."

"But the son doesn't ask for a reward, but I can't say nothing, let me think about it, what should I reward you."

"By the way, I heard that Tan Sheng, the envoy of the Five Elements Division, has disappeared in the north, and his life and death are unknown, can the prince know the various reasons?"

The empress smiled, and suddenly asked.

"How can this be?!"

"On this trip to the north, although I cooperated with Leng Zhen's envoy, I never asked about the affairs of the Five Elements Division, and Lord Leng never mentioned this matter to him, could it be that he was killed by thieves when he was acting on the orders of Lord Leng?!"

Li Wuji's eyes widened in surprise and asked puzzled.

"It's not known yet, but since I've disappeared for no reason, it's probably already unlucky."

"The thief mentioned by Gongzi just now, does it mean that there are still remnants of Pang Xun's old department?"

The empress sighed and asked curiously.

"It is not ruled out, but Windy City is located on the border, and it is inevitable that there will be people from the Northern Barbarians lurking in it, or something else, I am afraid that only by finding Tan Sheng's whereabouts can we determine."

"It's better for Your Majesty to give a holy decree to the Zhenbei Army and let him verify it on his behalf."

Li Wuji thought about it and said with a serious face.

"It's okay, I'm afraid that's the only way to do it now, you can't send your son to the north again, right?"

The empress nodded and said quippedly.

"If Your Majesty needs it, you can leave tomorrow."

Li Wuji said seriously.

"Huh? That's it, I have more important matters to hand over to Gongzi, and the affairs of the Five Elements Division will be left to Leng Zhenfu to solve by himself. ”

The empress waved her hand and said.

"Your Majesty has any orders, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I will definitely go all out."

Li Wuji arched his hands and said loudly.

"Since Gongzi has a lot of experience in exterminating Pang Xun's old department, then the heavy responsibility of tracking down the remnants of Pang Xun's old department in the future will be handed over to you."

"I plan to set up a new yamen, called the Golden Dragon Guard, to exterminate the rebellious ministers and thieves, guard the capital, and share my worries!"

"The position of this commander is held by Gongzi, but Gongzi can rest assured, I know that you have no intention of joining the office, so Jin Longwei is independent of other yamen, not under the jurisdiction of the six ministries, not into the government, only obeys the orders of one person, and the official residence is a military marquis!"

"What do you think?"

The empress looked at Li Wuji with a smile on her face and asked slowly.

After listening to the empress's words, Li Wuji lowered his head, couldn't help but squint his eyes, and a chill ran down his spine...
