Cloud Palace.

"What? Do you start to regret what you just said? ”

Looking at the slightly stunned Liwuji, the empress pursed her lips and sneered, and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Don't dare."

"It's just that I didn't expect Your Majesty to entrust such an important matter to Zai, and I was a little flattered for a while."

"Since Your Majesty can trust you, then you should do your best to cut down this gang of thieves!"

Li Wuji smiled, bowed, and replied seriously.

"What if you can't?"

The empress looked at Li Wuji and asked in a deep voice.

"Before noon tomorrow, I will definitely give Your Majesty an explanation, and if you break your promise, let Your Majesty dispose of it!"

Li Wuji said categorically, without the slightest hesitation.

"Good! Then I am waiting for your good news! ”

The empress nodded in satisfaction, finally smiled, and said loudly.

Luo Ping and Leng Yue, who were kneeling on the side, looked at Li Wuji's appearance of swearing in front of the empress, and their faces changed.

Luo Ping is okay, the most unconvincing in his heart is, of course, Leng Yue, if Li Wuji really rushes to eradicate the remnants of Ning Guo before the Five Elements Division, then the face of the Five Elements Division will be completely lost.

"Your Majesty, King Xuan asks to see you."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Hearing the words, the empress couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then showed a meaningful smile and glanced at Li Wuji.

"Xuan!"

The empress smiled and said loudly outside the hall.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a grim face followed a redfish guard into the main hall and came straight to the empress.

"Weichen Jin Pengyu, see Your Majesty!"

The middle-aged man glanced at the three people beside him, and bowed respectfully to the empress, with a pious face.

This person is the king of Xuan, Jin Pengyu, who has guarded the eastern border for many years, so that there has been no war in the eastern border for many years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment!

Among the many heterosexual vassal kings who left the country, the prestige was the highest.

"Jin Qing, please get up!"

With a smile on her face, the empress hurriedly raised her hand to signal Jin Pengyu to get up.

From the appearance of the empress greeting her with a smile, it is enough to see the status of this King Xuan in her mind.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jin Pengyu thanked him and got up slowly.

"It's so late, why is Jin Qing here?"

The Empress asked with a smile.

"Wechen heard that a group of remnants of Ningguo had infiltrated the capital, intending to disrupt the capital, so I came to see if Your Majesty needed Wechen's help."

Jin Pengyu said with a smile, laughing wildly, with a little recklessness.

"Do you know that the thieves are probably coming at you?"

The Empress asked with a smile.

"When he found that the people of the Five Elements Division frequently appeared outside King Xuan's mansion, Wei Chen had already guessed it, so he wanted to meet these people for a while."

"I haven't done it for a long time, and Wechen is also a little itchy, if Your Majesty allows it, then Wechen will let those thieves see the power of Mocheng Iron Cavalry!"

Jin Pengyu bowed his hand and said confidently, and after speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Leng Yue, who was kneeling beside him.

"Jin Qing is too worried, a group of young people, why do you need Jin Qing to do it, I have already handed over this matter to Li'an Hou just now, with him, the capital can be kept safe."

The empress shook her head with a smile, pointed at Li Wuji and said.

"Oh?"

Jin Pengyu raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Li Wuji beside him, looked up and down, and there was a trace of undisguised curiosity between his eyebrows.

"It turns out that Your Excellency is the world-famous Wuji Gongzi, no, now I should call you a first-class military marquis!"

"This king has heard about many of your deeds in the East, but I didn't expect you to be so young!"

Jin Pengyu said wildly while looking at Li Wuji.

Although he praised Li Wuji vigorously, whether it was the arrogance on his body or the tone of his words, there was a condescending contempt.

"King Xuan of the Eastern Border is also thunderous below."

Li Wuji hugged his fists and said casually, in fact, he had only heard of such a number one person in Liguo, but because the capital was thousands of miles away from the eastern border, he had never learned about this person in detail.

"Since Your Majesty has handed over the errand to you, then the king will not worry about this heart, and he will have to work."

Jin Pengyu hesitated for a moment, smiled and said.

"Well said, well said."

Li Wuji responded with a smile.

Although the two of them have their own smiles on their faces, in the eyes of others, the two of them don't want to be so harmonious on the surface, and there is always some secret competition and-for-tat.

The empress also saw this scene, but she didn't take it to heart, the Li Wuji she knew was a bold and daring lord who dared to offend anyone.

"Jin Qing, since I returned to Beijing this time because of the New Year's Festival, I happened to walk around with Li'anhou, both of you are important people, and I can't leave the country without you."

"Li'anhou people in the capital, many times for me to share worries, although you are in the eastern border city, but the chaos back then, I still remember it vividly, thank you for your loyalty."

With a smile on her face, the empress looked at Li Wuji and Jin Pengyu, and said meaningfully, the meaning of pampering was beyond words.

Hearing the empress's words, although Li Wuji was calm on the surface, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes in an instant, and he disappeared into invisibility in a blink of an eye.

"What happened back then was the duty of Weichen, and he should die for His Majesty's loyalty!"

Jin Pengyu bowed with a smile on his face and said loudly.

"Jin Qing is so sincere, I am very relieved!"

After hearing this, the empress smiled with satisfaction and said slowly.

Li Wuji didn't speak again since then, silently listening to the greetings between the empress and Jin Pengyu, and couldn't help but think of the old court incident that had been sealed for ten years in his mind.

After a long time, everyone finally said goodbye to the empress and left the Cloud Palace one after another.

Before leaving, Li Wuji accompanied Jin Pengyu all the way, talking and laughing, and asking about the anecdotes of the eastern border city, as if nothing had happened.

Until even Jin Pengyu was annoyed by the question, he hurriedly said goodbye to Li Wuji, and walked out of the palace with his entourage.

On the way back, Li Wuji sat in the carriage expressionlessly, and the killing intent in his eyes resurfaced.

Lu Yuan saw the abnormality of Li Wuji, but he didn't dare to ask more, and silently drove the car all the way to the Hou Mansion.

It was getting late, and it was less than seven hours before the deadline given by the empress.

...

Away from Anhou Mansion.

"Childe, you're back."

Seeing Li Wuji get out of the car, Cao Zi'an, who had been waiting, hurriedly greeted him, and originally wanted to ask the empress what was the matter, but Li Wuji passed by him with a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

The killing intent all over his body made Cao Zi'an shudder.

"What's wrong?"

Cao Zi'an was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Yuan with a puzzled expression, and asked in a low voice.

Lu Yuan, who was also confused, could only shake his head helplessly, unable to say a word or two.

Cao Zi'an hesitated, hurriedly turned around and followed Li Wuji into the mansion.

The main hall of the front yard.

Li Wuji sat on the chair, his face was gloomy and a little scary, Cao Zi'an and Dillon, who rushed to the side after receiving the news, stood aside respectfully, and no one dared to speak.

Usually at this time, it is a sign that Li Wuji wants to kill.

"Lao Cao, send someone to take my token to the Golden Dragon Guard's Yamen, tell Jiang Shang, and let him lead the Golden Dragon Guard to immediately track down the traces of the remnants of Ning Guo, there must be no mistake!"

After a long time, Li Wuji took out the token of the Golden Dragon Guard's commander, threw it directly on the ground, and finally opened his mouth.

"Yes!"

Cao Zi'an hurriedly agreed, picked up the token on the ground, and was about to turn around and leave.

"I'm not done yet!"

Seeing that Cao Zi'an was about to leave, Li Wuji said coldly, and his voice was instantly cold.

Cao Zi'an's scalp tightened, he hurriedly stopped, immediately turned around, and respectfully saluted Li Wuji.

"Inform the people in the Tianyuan in the capital, be sure to find out the whereabouts of the remnants of Ning Guo before dawn, as well as Tianshu, move quickly, you must be in front of the Five Elements Division and the Golden Dragon Guard!"

"If there is a mistake, it will be severely punished!"

Li Wuji looked at the two people in front of him and said coldly.

"Yes!"

The two of them immediately agreed without hesitation, but they were not in a hurry to leave, and still stood respectfully in place, waiting for Li Wuji to finish what he had to say.

"Also, let people check King Xuan, I want to know everything about him! Especially what he did before and after the empress ascended the throne! Unavoidably! Nothing is missing! ”

Li Wuji paused for a moment and continued to speak.

"Yes!"

Cao Zi'an and Dillon respectfully agreed again, looking at Li Wuji nervously, waiting for Li Wuji's next instructions.

"Go ahead!"

Li Wuji glanced at the two who were stunned in place, and said coldly.

Hearing Li Wuji's order, the two hurriedly bowed and quickly turned to leave.

They already knew in their hearts that Childe's killing intent was so heavy, and tonight's capital city was probably going to usher in a bloody storm soon...
