The first floor in the world.

As the door opened, Cao Zian appeared at the door. After bowing respectfully to Li Wuji, he slowly stepped aside.

As Cao Zian retreated, a middle-aged man full of righteousness came into Li Wuji's eyes, with a stern face and a tall figure.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man walked into the room slowly, followed by Cao Zian. Cao Zian closed the door and stood by the door, listening carefully to the movements in the corridor.

"My subordinate, Shi Wei, pays homage to the young lord!"

The middle-aged man walked up to Wuji, knelt down on one knee, and bowed respectfully, his voice sonorous and powerful.

Looking at the extraordinary middle-aged man in front of him, Li Wuji nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand to signal the middle-aged man to stand up, with a smile of relief on his lips.

"Thank you, young lord."

The middle-aged man agreed, stood up slowly, and sat down opposite Li Wuji at Li Wuji's signal.

Li Wuji smiled and said nothing, and poured a cup of tea for the middle-aged man himself.

"Thank you, young lord."

The middle-aged man thanked him again and took the tea cup respectfully.

"Don't thank me all the time, and don't call me lord one after another. Now that we have recognized each other, you will inevitably have to deal with people in the future. You must adapt to your relationship with me in advance."

"Like them, just address yourself as a son, so as not to get used to it and expose your flaws in front of others in the future."

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

"Yes, sir."

The middle-aged man nodded and agreed, finally showing a smile on his stern face.

"I heard from Lao Cao that you have been lurking in the Ministry of War for ten years?"

Li Wuji looked at the middle-aged man and asked slowly.

"It's true. Before my lord decided to take the young lord into the Heavenly Prison, he had already ordered his subordinates to find opportunities to find positions in the Ministry of War. They worked hard for ten years. They didn't want to show off their talents too much, but unexpectedly they were promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War."

"This time, taking advantage of the decline of the Lu family, Lu Zhengping was sentenced to death by the empress, and was actually promoted to Minister of War."

"Fortunately, I finally waited for you, young lord, otherwise my subordinates would inevitably be frightened."

The middle-aged man nodded and smiled bitterly.

This person is none other than the new Minister of War, Shi Wei, who is also Pang Xun’s old minister!

"The reason why you are where you are today is because you have this talent. Don't be afraid. If you were to leave it to others, I'm afraid that even if you had the opportunity, you wouldn't be able to get to where you are today."

"It's just that they would never have thought that you would actually be the old man's man."

Li Wuji smiled and said with some emotion.

When Cao Zian told him that the new Minister of War was actually Pang Xun's old minister, he was also surprised. He did not expect that the old man had made such a fortune ten years ago.

"From now on, my subordinates are the young master... the young master. The master once promised that once the young master escapes from the heavenly prison, we must follow him and live and die!"

Shi Wei bowed respectfully and said firmly.

"Don't be so nervous. I believe in you and the old man."

"Having you as an internal agent among the six departments is crucial to my future plans."

Li Wuji smiled and said sincerely.

Shi Wei nodded, gradually relaxed, and started talking to Li Wuji comfortably.

First there was Jiang Ziqing who was lurking in the Qian Kingdom Dynasty, and then there was Shi Wei who was now the Minister of the Ministry of War. Li Wuji didn't know what kind of secret helpers Pang Xun had left for him.

...

In the following days, the capital seemed to have finally returned to calm, and the rumors of the blood baby had gradually subsided, with few people talking about it.

But just because no one talks about it, it doesn't mean that people have really forgotten that the image of the empress who sucked the blood of baby boys has remained in the hearts of many people.

Li Wuji has not been idle either. Apart from treating himself as an outsider and going back and forth between shops every day, he has ordered people to look at the house everywhere.

In the past, he lived in the Wuji Building or the World's First Building for convenience and safety, but now that he has become the largest underground force in the Jiuyou Realm and the capital, he doesn't need to be so cautious.

What's more, as the plan deepens, there are more and more contacts with Tianshu and Tianyuan, and there are more and more secret agents like Shi Wei. The number one building in the world is relatively too many people and too many eyes.

, so he has to have his own separate residence, which is safer.

The first floor in the world.

Li Wuji sat on the couch in front of the window, looking through some detailed introductions of the houses that Cao Zian brought over, but he still couldn't find what he liked.

"Knowing that the young master is moving to a new house, many princes and nobles in the capital spontaneously began to select a new house for the young master, including one prepared by Prince Lin and Luo Ping."

Cao Zian stood aside and said slowly.

After listening to Cao Zian's words, Li Wuji couldn't help but reveal a smile.

As he became a popular person around Li Jingyao, many people wanted to curry favor with him, but he did not dare to live in the houses recommended by these people. Who knew if there might be something harmful to him hidden inside.

"What happened to those blood babies?"

Li Wuji paused for a moment and asked slowly.

"Don't worry, sir. Duyingwei has found their families for them. However, those children are not from the capital. The nearest place is two to three hundred miles away from the capital."

"After this incident, many people have realized what kind of person the empress is. In addition to being more afraid of her, it will definitely make her lose some popular support."

"It's just that many innocent people have been assassinated by Xue Chi for talking about this matter. No one is left alive, and no one dares to talk about it now."

Cao Zian sighed and said helplessly.

"If you want to overthrow the world, many people are bound to die, but their deaths will not be in vain. We must not be soft-hearted, so as to save more people from misery."

"There is never a fight without bloodshed. If you want to be the final winner, you can only be more ruthless and hard-hearted than your enemy!"

Li Wuji put down the introduction to his new house and said meaningfully.

"My subordinate understands."

Cao Zian bowed respectfully and responded slowly.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, the Queen is here!"

Lu Yuan's voice came slowly from outside the door.

"A distinguished guest is coming, it's time for us to greet him."

Li Wuji pursed his lips and smiled, slowly stood up and walked straight to the door.

When Li Wuji just came to the corridor, Li Jingyao had already led Tong Zhuo to the third floor and walked towards Li Wuji with a smile on his face.

"I have met His Highness."

Li Wuji smiled and bowed his hands.

Cao Zian and Lu Yuan stood behind Li Wuji, knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully.

"No need, no need!"

"Get up quickly!"

Li Jingyao waved her hands and while talking, she took Li Wuji's hand and walked into Li Wuji's room.

Li Wuji smiled and allowed his hand to be grabbed by Li Jingyao without resisting.

"Hey, it seems that I came late and was beaten by others."

As soon as she entered the room, Li Jingyao saw the introductions to the new house on the table in front of the window and said with a smile.

"These are sent by some acquaintances, but I have no merit and no reward, so I have no intention of accepting their kindness. Besides, I just looked at it and found that there is indeed no house that suits my liking. I'm afraid I have to continue looking."

Li Wuji explained with a smile.

"Oh? Isn't it just the right time for me to come here?!"

"You can tell others that you will not be rewarded for your merits, but you can't find a reason to refuse the house I have chosen for you, right? You have made great contributions to me more than once."

When Li Jingyao heard this, she immediately became happy, turned to look at Li Wuji, and said happily.

"Isn't His Highness also here to see you off at the house?"

Li Wuji asked with a smile.

"Yes and no."

"Let's not talk about this for now. I'm already here. Why don't you invite me to take a seat first?"

Li Jingyao nodded and shook her head, then looked at Li Wuji jokingly and asked, but she was trying to sell it off.

Li Wuji smiled, hurriedly invited Li Jingyao to sit down, and then personally poured a cup of hot tea for Li Jingyao.

"Now, take a look first, do you like it?"

After Li Jingyao took a sip of tea, she found that Li Wuji didn't ask about the house, so she couldn't hold it in anymore, took out an introduction to the new house from her arms, and placed it in front of Li Wuji.

Li Wuji smiled and opened it, and found that the house described in the introduction was very large, with rockeries, gardens, pavilions and pavilions, and everything. It could no longer be described as a house. According to the simple sketch above, it looked more like a palace...
