Inn.

"I want to book this inn."

The woman in green clothes looked up and down and said casually.

"Sir, I'm afraid this won't work. More than half of the guests are already inside. You're late."

The waiter smiled sheepishly and said helplessly.

"Then drive them all out! We will leave in two days at most."

The woman in Tsing Yi said coldly and walked directly to Room 1 Tianzi upstairs.

"Hey? Sir? You can't be unreasonable, right?"

"Everyone has paid money. We are open to do business. We can't go back on our word, right?"

The waiter looked at the woman in green who had gone up the stairs to the second floor and said helplessly.

"What did you just say? I'm being unreasonable?"

The woman in green clothes stopped, turned around slowly, looked coldly at the waiter in the lobby on the first floor, and asked word by word, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

Facing the woman's question, the waiter realized that he had made a mistake and was speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, a biting cold feeling spread throughout Xiao Er's body, followed by heartbreaking pain and gushing blood!

One of the woman's subordinates stood behind Xiao Er at some point. The long sword in his hand had already been unsheathed, and it penetrated deeply into Xiao Er's back!

When the waiter realized that he had been hit by a sword, he was unable to speak anymore. He looked at the woman in green standing at the railing on the second floor in horror and fell to the ground in a pool of blood in disbelief.

Soon, the waiter took his last breath!

Killing in broad daylight, without warning and without any fear!

As this scene happened, several exclamations were heard in the building. Seeing this tragic scene, people fled from the inn one after another.

The innkeeper who heard the commotion also hurriedly came from the backyard. When he saw his waiter lying in a pool of blood, his face turned pale instantly.

Then the other party once again announced that he wanted to book the entire inn. The innkeeper did not dare to be negligent and immediately refunded the money to the guests staying in the hotel and vacated all the rooms.

Then the boss collected the body for the clerk and quietly reported it to the Doying Guard. However, after the Doying Guard found out the murderer's origin and appearance, he was kicked out of the Yamen directly.

Faced with such a result, the boss had no choice but to hastily throw the boy's body to Duanyin Mountain outside the city to avoid being implicated.

Poor Xiao Er's mother lived in the suburbs of the city and knew nothing about it. She was always sitting in front of the courtyard waiting for her son to come home.

...

In the evening.

Leaving Anhou Mansion.

In the pavilion in the backyard, Li Wuji was drinking tea while watching with interest as Cao Zian pulled a two-wheeled rickshaw with a cloak and drove Pang Xiaoxiao around in circles in the yard.

"Brother, is it okay? Uncle Cao is sweating profusely."

Pang Xiaoxiao was sitting in the car, looking at Cao Zian who could no longer run anymore. He turned to look at Li Wuji and asked with a smile.

"That's it."

Li Wuji smiled, waved his hand, and said slowly.

Hearing Li Wuji's words, Cao Zian finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the rickshaw back to the pavilion.

"Uncle Cao, wipe your sweat quickly."

Pang Xiaoxiao took out a handkerchief and handed it to Cao Zian, saying with concern.

"No need, Miss."

Cao Zian smiled bitterly and waved his hand, then directly raised his arm and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

"Thank you for your hard work. Come and have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Li Wuji smiled, poured a cup of tea for Cao Zian, and said jokingly.

"Sir... what kind of car is this? I've never seen it before."

Cao Zian nodded and picked up the teacup while drinking and asked curiously.

"Just call it a rickshaw."

Li Wuji looked at the rickshaw that he drew and supervised the blacksmith to build, and said calmly.

"rickshaw?"

Pang Xiaoxiao and Cao Zian hesitated for a moment, then said in unison.

"That's right. Nowadays, all the prominent people in the capital have to take a carriage when going out, even if they are not far away, just to not lose face. However, this is time-consuming and troublesome."

"If we have it in the future, everyone won't have to worry so much. Moreover, it is affordable for ordinary people. Compared with hiring a carriage, it is more cost-effective."

Li Wuji nodded and explained.

"Just rely on human power?"

Cao Zian asked puzzledly.

"That's right, I plan to open a car dealership. I can take in casual jobs and rent cars. If someone is willing to buy them, that's fine."

Li Wuji smiled, nodded, and said with interest.

Faced with Li Wuji's decision, Pang Xiaoxiao and Cao Zian were at a loss. They could only nod slowly, unable to give any insights.

"Old Cao, please make arrangements to summon all the blacksmiths in the capital to build them in batches as soon as possible. If there is not enough manpower, you can mobilize them from other places."

"In short, start driving as soon as possible."

Li Wuji looked at Cao Zian and said seriously.

"yes."

Cao Zian wiped his sweat and nodded seriously.

Although he didn't understand it, he never missed what the young master decided.

At this moment, Di Long slowly walked in from the back door and walked straight to the pavilion.

"Xiao Xiao, you have worked hard all day, are you tired? Go back to the house and rest."

Li Wuji noticed the expression on Di Long's face, turned to look at Pang Xiaoxiao, and said softly.

"good."

Pang Xiaoxiao agreed, glanced at Di Long who had already walked into the pavilion, turned around and left silently.

"Something happened?"

Cao Zian also noticed Di Long's expression, frowned and asked.

"Sir, Yue Lingyao has arrived in the capital and checked into the Dengfeng Inn. Counting her, there are eleven people in total."

Di Long nodded towards Cao Zian, then bowed respectfully to Li Wuji and whispered.

"It seems that there will be a battle between me and her sooner or later."

Li Wuji curled his lips and said lightly.

"Sir, my subordinates are worried that if we conflict with the Lingyao Sword Sect, the empress may favor Yue Lingyao, and then we will be in a dilemma."

Di Long said with a solemn expression.

"What else did you find?"

Li Wuji raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.

He knew that Dillon still had something to say.

"Yue Lingyao just entered the capital and killed someone at the Dengfeng Inn. The innkeeper secretly went to the Doying Guards to report the matter to the officials. However, the Doying Guards Yamen not only did not accept the case, but kicked the innkeeper out of the Yamen."

"He dared to kill someone so blatantly in the capital city, but he was able to survive unscathed afterwards. Even the guards of the capital camp did not dare to take care of him. This shows the position of this person in the heart of the empress."

Di Long frowned and said somewhat seriously.

After hearing Di Long's answer, Li Wuji couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

He had thought that Yue Lingyao was favored by the empress, but he never expected that he would be favored to such an extent.

If the empress really intervenes, this matter will be difficult to handle.

While the three of them were deep in thought, a subordinate walked quickly from the front yard and quickly arrived at the pavilion.

"Master Qi, Tongzhuo is here."

The subordinates saluted and reported.

"Bring him here."

Li Wuji raised his eyebrows and responded casually, with an inadvertent smile flashing across his lips.

Soon, Tong Zhuo was led by the subordinate to the backyard and walked straight into the pavilion.

"I've met the Marquis."
