Chapter 216: The New Year is approaching
Away from Anhou Mansion.
Since Li Wuji left the Hou Mansion, Cao Zi'an has been waiting in the front yard for Li Wuji to return, and the person he sent to inquire about the news has already sent back the exact news.
But left and right, never left and right, never left Wuji to return, and gradually began to worry.
Just now, Tianshu also sent back the news that Jin Longwei was searching for the whole city, making the entire capital uproar.
"Master Cao, Childe is back!"
At this moment, the guard at the door suddenly shouted at the anxious Cao Zi'an.
When Cao Zi'an heard this, he immediately hurried to the door.
Outside the gate, as the carriage slowly stopped, Li Wuji slowly walked out of the carriage.
"Childe!"
Cao Zi'an breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked to the carriage.
"What do you look like in a panic?"
Li Wuji glanced at Cao Zi'an, said with a smile, and then got out of the carriage and walked straight to the house.
Cao Zi'an glanced around, stopped talking, and walked in quickly with Li Wuji.
"Childe, nothing happened, right?"
As soon as the door closed, Cao Zi'an couldn't wait to ask.
"What can happen, it's just a prisoner to be tried."
Li Wuji smiled, and as he spoke, he came to the main hall, poured a cup of tea, and sat on the chair as if nothing had happened.
"The people sent by his subordinates have already sent back the news, no one in the old department of the lord has been arrested, at least none of the people in the known Tianyuan have had an accident, so it is likely to be a trap."
"I heard that Jin Longwei has started a city-wide search, and his subordinates have been worried about Childe, but fortunately, Childe is fine."
Cao Zi'an said slowly, his face slightly solemn.
"I know that the so-called Pang Xun Old Department is just a bait, which the empress used to test me."
Li Wuji nodded and said lightly, a contemptuous smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
"Childe has seen through it?"
Cao Zi'an's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile, and at the same time, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground completely.
"Originally, I wasn't sure if it was true or not, but when I saw that Yuqing was also there, I felt that something was wrong, he shouldn't have appeared there."
"Moreover, the man who was arrested betrayed himself, although it was only a fleeting look, but he still did not hide it from me."
Li Wuji smiled and said lightly.
In fact, the first time he saw Yuqing, he knew that today's matter was not simple, but when he found out that the prisoner's eyes were looking at Yuqing, he was already completely sure, so he would not hesitate to kill that person.
He guessed that the empress would test him, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"It seems that the empress is still suspicious of Childe, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to such great length, and she wouldn't even hesitate to use her own people to test Childe."
Cao Zi'an said with a somewhat solemn face.
"It's not easy to gain that woman's trust."
"Next, I'm afraid it's Qingxuanmen."
"Where's Miss Su?"
Li Wuji pondered and asked slowly.
"I don't know, I went out early in the morning."
Cao Zi'an shook his head and said.
"When she comes back, tell her, let her inform Yelan Ting, around the New Year's Festival, let Qingxuanmen hide all her whereabouts, don't make trouble for this son!"
Li Wuji frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Cao Zi'an nodded and respectfully agreed.
From this day on, almost all of the Golden Dragon Guards were dispatched to turn the capital upside down, and there was a great tendency that Pang Xun's old department would not give up.
Maybe they were worried that they would be suspicious of Wuji, so they deliberately made a big noise, or maybe they also wanted to take this opportunity to completely eliminate the chaotic party lurking in the capital.
With the cooperation of the three major yamen of Jin Longwei, Duyingwei, and Wuxing Division, although no clues were found in Pang Xun's old department, many suspicious people were also found, all of whom were secretly arrested, and many of them were secret agents from other countries.
However, Jin Longwei's main duty is to track down Pang Xun's old department, so all the people who were caught were imprisoned in the Five Elements Division, and once they entered the Five Elements Division, it would be difficult for these people to get out alive.
The methods of the Five Elements Division are known throughout the city.
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, the empress issued an order to order the three major yamen to temporarily stop the search, and the matter gradually calmed down.
Obviously, the empress didn't want to make any mess during the New Year.
And Li Wuji also returned to his usual leisure, either going to the first floor of the world to drink every day, or to Las Vegas to gamble money, and taking time to go to Deyunxuan to listen to cross talk, so uncomfortable.
In fact, he was hiding, because the New Year was approaching, the ministers of the DPRK and China went to give gifts, and the empress did not trust him completely, he didn't want to make extraneous branches, and he could hide.
However, Lin Wang Liyuan has become a frequent visitor to the Hou Mansion, and often goes in and out of the first floor of the world with Li Wuji, in addition, Meng Jie also returned to the capital before the New Year's Festival, and Li Wuji personally set up a banquet for him to catch the wind and wash the dust.
The troupes invited by Li Wuji from all over the world also gathered in the capital, attracting the attention of many people.
The capital, which had been in a uproar by the three major yamen, gradually became lively, with colorful lights, and everywhere was filled with the cheerful atmosphere of the festival.
...
The twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.
Away from Anhou Mansion.
"Unexpectedly, the little junior sister is not only born to be a business talent, but also outstanding in this needlework."
Li Wuji couldn't help but praise while sorting out a mink robe on his body.
"Senior brother is making fun of me again!"
Pang Xiaoxiao smiled and glanced at Wuji, and said a little shyly.
Because the New Year Festival is coming, Pang Xiaoxiao worked day and night in private, and made a robe for Li Wuji, the white ferret fur is soft and comfortable, and Li Wuji likes it very much.
"Oh, you have worked hard to prepare gifts for your senior brother, but your senior brother has forgotten this stubble, how should this be?"
Li Wuji sighed and said with some embarrassment.
"Senior brother likes it, Xiaoxiao didn't plan to exchange one thing for another, if you don't prepare, you don't prepare."
"Besides, Senior Brother is busy all day, how can I have time to prepare gifts for Xiaoxiao."
Pang Xiaoxiao shook his head with a smile and said obediently.
"Huh? Why do I think you're mocking your brother for not doing his job? ”
Li Wuji frowned, turned his head to look at Pang Xiaoxiao, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Where?"
"Although it is said outside that Anhou is merry and good at drinking flower wine, there is no girl in the Capital Art Museum that you don't know."
"But Xiaoxiao understands in his heart that you are not what they say, and the reason why you do it must be a reason for your senior brother."
Pang Xiaoxiao shook his head with a smile and said with a serious face.
"Little has really grown up."
Li Wuji was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, I wanted to reach out and touch my junior sister's head, but my hand was halfway out and I took it back.
He is not a person who knows nothing, so he naturally has long seen the friendship of the little junior sister towards him, but in his heart, he has long pretended to be someone else, and he can no longer tolerate a second person.
Pang Xiaoxiao noticed Li Wuji's small movements, a flash of loss quickly flashed on his face, and then he covered up the past with a smile.
"Childe."
At this moment, Dillon appeared at the door, his face slightly solemn.
"Okay, Brother Di has something to do with you, I'll go out first, take off the robe first, the cuffs are still a little wide, I'll change it again."
Pang Xiaoxiao turned his head to look at it and said slowly.
"Okay."
Li Wuji agreed, took off his mink robe, and handed it to Pang Xiaoxiao.
Pang Xiaoxiao took the mink robe, nodded at Dillon, and left slowly.
"What's wrong?"
Li Wuji put away his smile, looked at Dillon at the door, and asked in a deep voice.
"Childe, the secret pile has reported, a group of suspicious people have infiltrated the capital recently, and the purpose is unknown."
Dillon walked into the room, closed the door, and whispered.
"What way?"
Li Wuji frowned and asked thoughtfully.
"Dressed like a Jianghu person, but sometimes the style of acting is not like it, in short, it is very suspicious, it seems that something is secretly planned, the specific is still being investigated, and there should be news soon."
Dillon replied earnestly.
"Find out as soon as possible! See where they come from! The day after tomorrow is the New Year's Day, and I am now the commander of the Golden Dragon Guard, so if something goes wrong, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the blame. ”
"This capital is our world, and we can't let the little ones cause chaos!"
Li Wuji pondered for a moment and said coldly.
"Yes!"
Dillon agreed, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave.
Li Wuji frowned slightly, pacing back and forth in the room, lost in thought.
The New Year is approaching, and it is probably not a good thing for such a group of people to suddenly appear...
