Cloud Palace.

"Are you saying that the news that the remnants of Ning Guo infiltrated the capital was told to you by Li'an Hou himself?"

The empress frowned slightly, looked at Luo Ping thoughtfully and asked.

"Indeed... That's true..."

Luo Ping nodded and said with some slurp.

"Since he has discovered the whereabouts of the remnants of Ning Guo, why don't he do it himself, but he went out of his way to tell you."

A strange smile appeared on the corner of the empress's mouth, and she continued to ask.

"When Weichen returned to the yamen after his inspection last night, he met Li'anhou, who happened to pass in front of the yamen, so he said hello."

During the conversation, Li Anhou told Weichen the news, as for why he didn't do it himself, according to his original words, it was because Jin Longwei was only responsible for arresting Pang Xun's old department and Qingxuanmen, and the rest of the things... It is not his control. ”

Luo Ping hesitated for a moment and told everything about last night.

Now, he was also a little suspicious, he didn't leave Anhou last night and didn't pass by Du Yingwei at all, it seemed that he was waiting for him to appear nearby, but he wasn't sure.

"Not in his hands?"

After listening to Luo Ping's explanation, the empress pursed her lips and snorted softly, falling into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, since it has been confirmed that it is the remnants of the Ning Kingdom, then they must have a plan to enter Beijing this time, and it should not be an accident that their people appeared in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion and the Zhenbei General's Mansion at the same time, as well as near the Xuanwang Mansion!"

"If Weichen's guess is correct, they probably want to do something to these three places!"

"Without further ado, please give an order from Your Majesty to search the whole city!"

Leng Yue thought for a moment, bowed, and said affirmatively.

Listening to Leng Yue's words, the empress's face became more and more solemn.

These three locations correspond to three directions, Chaotang, North, and East! If these three people have an accident at the same time, there will be chaos when they leave the country!

"Spread my will, the remnants of Ningguo are bold and intend to mess with me to leave the country! I order you two to work together to find these thieves before the New Year's Day arrives! Dig deep into the ground to find them! ”

"It's better to kill by mistake than to let go!"

The empress paused, looked at Leng Yue and Luo Ping, and said in a deep voice, her face full of majesty.

"Yes!"

Leng Yue and Luo Ping agreed in unison, immediately left the palace, and began to search for the whole city!

...

Away from Anhou Mansion.

In the backyard hall, Li Wuji was sitting at the table, tasting the breakfast prepared by Pang Xiaoxiao himself, with a look of relish.

He now feels more and more that this little junior sister of his always seems to have unexpected skills.

In terms of business, one person can manage the large and small businesses in the Nine Nether Realm and the capital in an orderly manner, and now Cao Zi'an basically doesn't care much about it, and all of them are handed over to Pang Xiaoxiao.

In terms of needlework, even the long-famous cloth village in the capital can't do it as fine as her.

When it comes to cooking, even Li Wuji, a person who has eaten all over the ancient and modern world, can't help but praise it.

"Where did Senior Brother go last night? Is something happening in this capital again? ”

"I heard that the streets were not peaceful last night, and it has continued to this day."

Pang Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously while serving a bowl of porridge for Li Wuji.

"You shouldn't inquire about these things, and you can't inquire about them."

"Just do your own thing, the rest has nothing to do with you."

Li Wuji said slowly while eating, his tone was a little stiff.

From the time he rescued Pang Xiaoxiao from the Night Feather Palace, he had already decided that he would never let the little junior sister fall into danger again, and he alone was enough to take revenge.

She just needs to be happy and carefree.

"Oh..."

Pang Xiao shrunk his neck and didn't ask any more.

She knew in her heart that her senior brother did this for her own good, which is why she had gradually regarded her senior brother as her closest person in this world.

"Childe?"

At this moment, Cao Zi'an appeared at the door.

"Well, Lao Cao, have you eaten, come, let's eat together."

Li Wuji glanced up, beckoned and said.

"Uncle Cao, I'll go get you dishes and chopsticks."

Pang Xiaoxiao turned his head to look at Cao Zi'an, smiled, and prepared to prepare new dishes and chopsticks as he spoke.

"No, miss, I've eaten it."

Cao Zi'an waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Well, it seems that you have something to discuss, then I will go out first, and I will get Zibo Ju for a while, and there are still some details that need to be implemented in the matter of preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the lonely and widowed old people in the capital."

Pang Xiaoxiao hesitated, said with a smile, and turned to leave.

After Pang Xiaoxiao left, Cao Zi'an slowly walked into the hall and came to the front of Li Wuji.

Li Wuji glanced at Pang Xiaoxiao, who was gradually moving away from the door, smiled knowingly, and continued to bow his head and eat.

"Childe, since last night there was a disturbance in the camp guards, the three teams of people we secretly monitored have hidden their whereabouts, Luo Ping tossed all night, found nothing, and was summoned into the palace early in the morning."

"But I just received the news that a team of people has been arrested, and the Five Elements Division has intervened!"

Cao Zi'an bowed and said slowly.

Hearing Cao Zi'an's report, Li Wuji's chopsticks that were picking up vegetables paused, and a faint sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that the Five Elements Division does have some means, no wonder it can keep pressing the Du Yingwei."

Li Wuji smiled and said lightly.

"With the intervention of the Five Elements Division, it seems that this group of remnants of Ningguo can't make much waves, they are in the light, we are in the dark, we must be able to pull them out."

Cao Zi'an nodded and said.

"I don't care if I can make waves, I don't care if others are dead or alive, but Zhu Wenqing can't die! His life is mine, and it is useful for me to keep him! ”

Li Wuji narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Childe, rest assured, his subordinates have arranged for people to guard outside the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and as soon as there is any trouble, the news will be transmitted back immediately."

Cao Zi'an said confidently.

"Good!"

"However, the other two places also need to be more careful, and they can't completely rely on the Five Elements Division and the Du Yingwei, so that if something really happens, the empress will use this matter to embarrass me again."

Li Wuji nodded with satisfaction and said thoughtfully.

"Understood!"

Cao Zi'an agreed and immediately took the order.

Li Wuji swallowed the last bite in his mouth, then took a sip of the teacup, and a hint of solemnity flashed between his eyebrows.

He was thinking that since Luo Ping was summoned by the empress early in the morning, it was likely that the empress already knew that he had told Luo Ping the news.

If that's really the case, then Luo Ping is too useless.

...

Cheng.

In the depths of a dark alley opposite the Zhenbei General's Mansion, two Lan Ying guarded the door of a dark mansion with a vigilant face.

In the dark house, Leng Yue sat on a chair with a solemn face, and several of his subordinates stood in front of him with nervous expressions, the leader of whom was tall, holding a pair of meteor hammers, and could barely straighten his waist.

Tuxing envoy, Xin Zhi!

It has been a few hours since the empress issued her will, and although a group of people have been arrested, Leng Yue knows in her heart that it is only part of it, and there are still thieves lurking in the capital.

The empress's order was to ask the Five Elements Division and the Du Yingwei to deal with the matter before the New Year's Festival, but with the first wave of people being arrested, the other party suddenly disappeared, and nothing could be found.

"What's the news from the Du Yingwei?!"

Leng Yue hesitated for a moment before asking in a deep voice.

"Commander Luo is leading the battalion guards to search from house to house, but no valuable clues have been found."

Xin Zhi hesitated and replied in a deep voice.

The sound echoed through the cramped room like a bell.

Hearing this answer, Leng Yue frowned in disappointment.

In her eyes, Luo Ping has always been an overwhelmed person.

It seems that if she wants to complete the task, she can only rely on herself.

"From now on, activate all the dark lines in the capital, make every effort to track down the remaining remnants of the Ning Kingdom, and those who provide favorable clues will be rewarded with 10,000 silver!"

Leng Yue pondered for a moment and said coldly.

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Xin Zhi agreed loudly, turned around and led people away.

Leng Yue sat on the chair, frowning, and the figure of Li Anhou inadvertently appeared in his mind, unconsciously thinking, if Li Anhou was here at this time, what would he do?

But at this time, Li Wuji had already asked Xiao Hongxing to go to the first floor of the world, and was hugging a girl to drink and talk, and he didn't seem to care about the outside affairs at all.

It's completely a posture that doesn't care about itself...
