Chapter 220: Arrest within a time limit
The first floor of the world.
In the box, Li Wuji hugged left and right, drunk and slightly drunk, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never broke.
Xiao Hongxing sat silently on the side, looking a little cramped.
He would never have come to this kind of place before, not because he was not in a mess, but because he didn't even have the money to buy a bowl of wine.
So everything here is very strange to him, and he even doesn't dare to touch it easily, because what he has now is something he has worked hard to get.
The wine had been on the table for a long time, but he had not drunk a sip, and the price of this glass of wine alone was enough to catch three days of medicine for his mother.
So he prefers to treat himself as air and silently accompany him.
However, in his heart, he never thought that Li Anhou was a drunkard and lustful person, and what he saw in front of him was not real.
"First time?"
Li Wuji drank the wine that one of the maiko fed to his lips, glanced at Xiao Hongxing, and asked with a smile.
“... Be. ”
Xiao Hongxing smiled awkwardly, nodded and replied softly.
"Then you don't have to be so nervous, huh? Can't you let it go in front of me? ”
Li Wuji asked quips.
"No... It's just, no... Not used to..."
Xiao Hongxing shook his head and said with some embarrassment.
"You're not going to be a chick, are you?"
Li Wuji raised his eyebrows and asked gloatingly.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Hongxing's face instantly swelled red, and he couldn't help lowering his head, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Seeing Xiao Hongxing's reaction, Li Wuji immediately knew that he had guessed correctly, so he turned his head and glanced at the two maiko beside him.
"Young Master Xiao, come, have a drink with the slave's family!"
"Come on..."
The two maiko immediately understood, got up and came to Xiao Hongxing's side with their heads scratched, and lay directly on Xiao Hongxing's body, and said with a sigh of relief.
Xiao Hongxing shrank his head, waved his hands again and again, and couldn't say anything nervous.
Looking at Xiao Hongxing who was so embarrassed, Li Wuji couldn't help but smile and shook his head, but then he admired Xiao Hongxing a little in his heart.
A person who has never touched a woman has actually worked hard for a woman for many years, and he can be regarded as a person who values love and righteousness.
"Okay, you guys go down first, I have something to talk about with Xiao Gongzi."
Seeing that the commotion was almost over, Li Wuji waved his hand and said lightly.
"Yes."
Hearing Li Wuji's words, the two maiko stopped laughing, bowed respectfully, and got up to leave the box.
As soon as the two maiko walked out of the box, the smile on Li Wuji's face disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Hongxing coughed twice in embarrassment, slowly sat up straight, and wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead due to nervousness.
"Have you seen Zhu Shangshu's son recently?"
Li Wuji paused for a moment and asked lightly.
"Yes, the New Year is coming, he wanted to ask me to go with him, but I was too busy, so I didn't promise him."
Xiao Hongxing hesitated for a moment and replied seriously.
"Oh, it looks like you're on good terms."
Li Wuji responded casually and said slowly.
"Actually, he just deliberately intersected with me because I was close to Childe, just to get acquainted with Childe through me."
"If it was placed in the past, how could the son of a dignified scholar look up to me."
Xiao Hongxing smiled bitterly and said slowly.
"You can't always live in the past, you have to look forward, what you didn't have in the past, you will get it slowly, you have to adapt to this change."
Li Wuji paused for a moment and said earnestly.
"Understood."
Xiao Hongxing nodded affirmatively and said respectfully.
Since getting acquainted with Li'anhou, he has indeed learned a lot and has been exposed to things that he has never been exposed to before.
When a person is down, all the people around him are accusing and even spurning, but when a person really gets better one day, those people with ugly faces around him have gradually become "good people".
"Let's have a light meal with Zhu Hexuan tonight."
Li Wuji pondered for a while and said lightly.
"With Childe?"
Xiao Hongxing asked hesitantly.
"No, just the two of you."
"During the banquet, I found an opportunity to tell him that it was best for their father and son not to go out in the past two days, so as not to cross the streets, and the capital has not been peaceful recently."
Li Wuji shook his head and said lightly.
He guessed that since the matter of the remnants of Ning Guo had alarmed the empress, and even the Five Elements Division had intervened, the people in the court should have known about it.
But he was still not at ease, so he planned to remind the Zhu family father and son again through Xiao Hongxing, don't go out to find death if you have nothing to do.
"Understood, I'll tell you what I'm saying."
Xiao Hongxing paused for a moment and replied respectfully.
Although he didn't understand the meaning of the words conveyed by Li Wuji, he already knew about the chaos in the capital from last night to now, and guessed that something must have happened.
"Come, drink."
Li Wuji smiled, didn't say anything else, picked up the wine glass, and smiled and gestured.
Xiao Hongxing agreed, hesitated and picked up the glass of wine on the table in front of him that he couldn't bear at all, slowly put it into his mouth, and swallowed it nervously.
The spicy liquor poured down his throat and into his stomach, as if it was no different from the bad street wine he had drunk before.
...
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a whole day had passed, and the Du Yingwei and the Five Elements Division had nothing to gain except for the group of people they had arrested at the beginning.
When the news was transmitted back to Yunxiao Palace, the empress was furious and blamed the two for being overwhelmed.
Tomorrow is the New Year's Day, and it is the best time for the remnants of Ningguo to do it!
If something really happens at that time, not only will there be chaos when leaving the country, but it will also become the laughing stock of the world, and the royal face will no longer exist.
So, in desperation, the empress ordered someone to immediately summon Anhou to the palace to meet her.
After Li Wuji received the news, he quickly rushed to the Cloud Palace with the Red Fish Guard.
When Li Wuji walked into the main hall, he found that Luo Ping and Leng Yue were all kneeling on the ground, their faces were ugly, and they looked as if they had just been reprimanded by the empress.
"I've seen Your Majesty."
Li Wuji slowly stepped forward, bowed his hand, and said respectfully.
The voice fell, and he accidentally hiccuped.
At noon, he drank a few glasses on the first floor of the world, and when Hongyuwei went to deliver the decree, he was still sleeping with his head covered, and the wine on his body had not yet dissipated.
Although the danger of the capital has not yet been resolved, there are Du Yingwei and the Five Elements Division in the front, and Tianshu and Tianyuan in the dark, and he does not take it to heart.
What's more, with his understanding of Meng Jie and Xuanwang Jin Pengyu, even if the remnants of Ning Guo wanted to kill them, it would be impossible to be silent, and even if Du Yingwei and the Five Elements Division were slow to go, Tianshu would make a move, and he had already arranged everything.
For him, Zhu Wenqing is the most important.
The reason why he deliberately showed indifference to this matter was just his means, although he could not make the empress trust him completely at once, but at least let the empress not be too jealous of him.
Scolding is better than suspicion.
Looking at the slightly drunk Li Wuji, the empress's already expressionless face became even more gloomy.
"It's really good to leave Anhou!"
"The capital is in turmoil, you still have the heart to linger among the Qinglou Art Gallery!"
The empress glared at Li Wuji and said coldly, and the anger between her eyebrows gradually appeared.
"With the capital guards and the Five Elements Division, who dares to make a mistake in the capital? Since you don't need to be in the bottom, you naturally don't need to ask in the bottom, so you don't have to cause chaos to Your Majesty. ”
Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.
Listening to Li Wuji's words, Luo Ping and Leng Yue, who were kneeling on the ground, frowned at the same time.
Li Wuji's words sounded like a compliment, but now that he said it, it was even more like a derogatory.
"Humph! Rely on them?! ”
"If you count on them, the capital will be in chaos sooner or later!"
The empress snorted coldly, glanced at the two people on the ground, and said with hatred that iron is not steel.
After listening to the empress's reprimand, the faces of the two people on the ground became more and more ugly.
"Your Majesty is worried a lot, isn't this happening now, I believe that the two adults will go all out to help Your Majesty share your worries."
Li Wuji smiled, still holding the two of them and said.
Listening to Li Wuji's words, Luo Ping complained bitterly in his heart, and he couldn't wait for Li Wuji to shut up quickly, and if he continued to talk about it, he would be even more angry.
"What about you?"
The empress hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Wuji directly, and asked slowly.
"Naturally, I will listen to Your Majesty's dispatch in the lower parts, and if Your Majesty needs it, I will also go all out in the lower parts."
Li Wuji arched his hand with a smile and said seriously.
"Good! Then I'll leave this matter to you! ”
"The deadline is one day, and before noon tomorrow, all the remnants of the Ning Kingdom hidden in the capital must be eradicated!"
The empress waved her hand and said without thinking, as if she had already made up her mind after leaving Wuji and entering the palace.
After listening to the empress's words, Li Wuji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a little caught off guard...
