Under the cover of night.

Five Elements Division.

Leng Yue sat on the chair with a solemn face, the sword in her hand, ready to be dispatched at any time.

The five elements have all been sent out by her.

The appearance of the remnants of Ning Guo, although he hadn't done anything yet, had already made the capital restless.

"My lord, I just received the news, and the Golden Dragon Guard has also been dispatched!"

A Arashi Shadow appeared at the door, bowed respectfully, and said.

"Li'an Hou came forward in person?"

Leng Yue frowned and said in a deep voice.

"No, after leaving the palace, I went back to the house directly from Anhou, but I just sent a subordinate to go directly to the Golden Dragon Guard's order with a token, and the person who led the team was Jiang Shang, the chief of the guard."

The subordinate shook his head and said respectfully.

"Huh, Chief Guard?!"

"The dignified deputy commander actually became the chief of the guard with a word from Anhou, and His Majesty actually turned a blind eye to this, so connived!"

"I'm not afraid..."

Leng Yue snorted contemptuously, looking dissatisfied, but as soon as she was halfway through the words, she felt that she was a little speechless, and hurriedly closed her mouth.

His men stood respectfully in the doorway, pretending not to hear anything, but a hint of nervousness flashed across their faces.

"The people who informed us must find out the hiding place of the remnants of Ning Guo before Jin Longwei, and we can't let them take the lead!"

"Otherwise, we won't mess around in the capital in the future!"

Leng Yue gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The subordinate respectfully agreed.

"In addition, send someone to secretly monitor Li'anhou's Mansion, this seat must know Li'anhou's next move at any time, and see how he can fulfill his promise to His Majesty before noon tomorrow!"

Leng Yue kept a calm face and continued to speak.

"Understood!"

The subordinate agreed, and immediately turned to leave.

"This time, it's finally time for you and me to compete, let's see if it's your face and heart that are not in harmony with the Golden Dragon Guard, or the Five Elements Division of this seat is faster!"

Leng Yue squinted her eyes, a sneer of disdain appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said a word of compassion.

...

An hour later.

Away from Anhou Mansion.

In the study in the backyard, Li Wuji stood in the secret room, looking at the red dragon seal placed on the shelf, frowning, and silently pondering.

Thinking back to what happened in the Yunxiao Palace tonight, Li Wuji quickly understood, and the empress clearly deliberately mentioned the so-called peaceful chaos in front of him.

As far as he knew, in the past fifteen years, there has only been one turmoil in the capital, and that was the East Palace Incident that year!

Obviously, the empress was secretly reminding him that Jin Pengyu was also one of the people who participated in the suppression of the East Palace back then!

What is her purpose in doing this?!

Of course, it's still a temptation!

It seems that he personally killed the empress's old Pang Xun who sent someone to fake him, but he still didn't win the empress's trust!

It's just that he didn't expect that in order to test him, the empress would be willing to push out the extremely prestigious King Xuan of the Eastern Realm!

It seems that the identity of the grandson of the emperor of the previous dynasty is still the most difficult for the empress to sleep!

However, after thinking about these things, Li Wuji's state of mind gradually calmed down, and he was not as excited as he was at the beginning.

At this moment, there were three crisp knocks outside the door of the secret room, one long and two short.

It was a code, and only Cao Zi'an, Dillon, and Lu Yuan knew it.

Li Wuji took a deep breath, closed the lid of the box containing the Red Dragon Seal, and turned to open the door of the secret room.

Cao Zi'an stood respectfully outside the door, and when he saw Li Wuji coming out, he immediately bowed.

He had already found that the strong killing intent on Li Wuji's body before had disappeared, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"How?"

Li Wuji glanced at Cao Zi'an, walked straight to the side and sat down, and asked lightly while drinking tea.

"Dillon has sent back news that he has found the whereabouts of the remnants of Ning Guo!"

Cao Zi'an arched his hand and said seriously.

"Where?!"

Li Wuji's eyes lit up and asked in a deep voice.

"Like a smoke inn."

Cao Zi'an replied without thinking.

"Ruyan Inn?!"

Listening to Cao Zi'an's answer, Li Wuji couldn't help frowning, revealing a hint of surprise.

Because today's Ruyan Inn has long been wrapped up by Liwuji, and all the theater troupes invited from all over the world live in it!

"That's right!"

"This time, on the orders of the son, among the opera troupes invited to the capital, there is a troupe called Chunfeng Pavilion, which is also well-known in the rivers and lakes!"

"According to the eyeliner return, the remnants of Ning Guo are hidden in this Spring Breeze Pavilion opera team!"

Cao Zi'an nodded and replied affirmatively.

"Spring Breeze Pavilion?!"

After listening to Cao Zi'an's answer, Li Wuji couldn't help but show a trace of surprise again, and always felt that these three words were very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.

"Childe, there's one more thing..."

"Regarding Jin Pengyu's past, his subordinates have also found out some secrets..."

Cao Zi'an didn't notice the doubts between Li Wuji's eyebrows at this time, and said hesitantly, looking at Li Wuji with some nervousness.

"Say!"

Li Wuji hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"According to the investigation, this Jin Pengyu was only a deputy general at the time of the East Palace Incident, and then he suddenly rose all the way and made outstanding achievements!"

"After the empress ascended the throne, this person led the troops to quell the rebellion in the east, and became a king with a different surname, this person was cruel by nature, and in these years in Mocheng, he did almost all kinds of evil, and killed many innocent people in vain..."

"Getting to the point!"

Cao Zi'an was talking slowly little by little, but as soon as he was halfway through speaking, he was directly interrupted by Li Wuji and ordered coldly.

"Fifteen years ago, among the people who led the troops to suppress the East Palace, there was him..."

Cao Zi'an swallowed his saliva and said with some trepidation.

After listening to Cao Zi'an's answer, Li Wuji's face sank instantly, and the teacup in his hand shattered!

"Childe, don't worry, although the subordinates don't know how Childe noticed it, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, Jin Pengyu doesn't need anyone else, he is deeply valued by the empress, and he has the backing of the 200,000 Dongling Army in the east."

"If it's not handled properly, it's likely to cause trouble for Childe."

Seeing this, Cao Zi'an hurriedly said anxiously, trying to appease Li Wuji, who was already furious.

He knew that with the character of Gongzi, once it was determined that Jin Pengyu had more than a thousand mouthfuls of blood on his hands in the East Palace back then, he was likely to do something impulsive, causing all the previous plans to fall short.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?!"

Li Wuji had a gloomy face, looked at Cao Zi'an coldly, and asked word by word.

"The subordinates don't dare!"

Cao Zi'an was stunned for a moment, knelt directly on the ground, and said with a frightened face.

"Get up!"

"I'm not a hairy boy, I know where I am now, and I know what to do!"

Li Wuji stared at Cao Zi'an for a while, took a deep breath, and said lightly.

It's not that he's broad-minded, but because he's already determined that the empress is deliberately luring him out!

Cao Zi'an hesitated, slowly stood up, didn't dare to look at Li Wuji, his face was full of nervousness.

"Let's go."

Li Wuji was silent for a moment, slowly got up, and walked straight out.

"Where to go?!"

Cao Zi'an was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked.

"Since the whereabouts of the remnants of Ning Guo have been found, let's go and meet them."

As he spoke, the person had already walked out of the study, and the whole person had completely calmed down.

Hearing Li Wuji's answer, Cao Zi'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.

Soon, Li Wuji took Cao Zi'an and Lu Yuan to quietly leave from the back door of the Hou Mansion and went straight to the Ruyan Inn.

In order to hide people's eyes, this time there was no carriage ride.

Under the dark night, three figures, followed by the cover of the night, swept between the sweeps, and the speed was very fast.

But just when there was only one street left from the Ruyan Inn, Li Wuji, who had changed into a black robe, suddenly stopped.

"Childe, what's wrong?"

Cao Zi'an was stunned for a moment, hurriedly gathered his feet, turned back, looked at Li Wuji with a puzzled expression and asked.

"There's a tail!"

Li Wuji narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

Hearing Li Wuji's answer, Cao Zi'an couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked around.

At the same time, Lu Yuan, who also noticed the abnormality, had already rushed out like lightning and swept towards a corner!

A brief, faint fight rang out, followed by a return to calm.

Li Wuji and Cao Zi'an arrived one after another, and found that one person had been easily subdued by Lu Yuan, and he didn't even have a chance to make a move.

And when Li Wuji saw this person who was secretly following him, his face couldn't help but sink.

I saw that the clothes on the man's chest were embroidered with a very eye-catching word!

"Arashi"...
