Qinghu Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain.

"It's nothing, it's just that Commander Lan is worried that there is an assassin hiding in my car, and he insists on letting me get out of the car for inspection."

"If His Highness Taiqing hadn't appeared, I'm afraid he would have already taken action against me."

Li Wuji smiled and said calmly.

After hearing Li Wuji's answer, Li Jingyao turned to look at Lan Zhan beside her, with a dissatisfied look on her face.

"Your Highness, I am responsible for guarding the last pass. All carriages must be strictly searched. This matter has been reported to Your Majesty and has received His Majesty's approval."

"So I was on an errand according to the order, but when it was Marquis Li'an's turn, I don't know if the Marquis was deliberately making things difficult for him, or if he was hiding something in the car, deliberately making things difficult for me, and refused to get out of the car to cooperate."

Lan Zhan frowned and hurriedly bowed to answer, with a serious look on his face.

"Commander Lan, are you bringing His Majesty out to suppress me?!"

Li Jingyao's face darkened slightly, she looked at Lan Zhan coldly and asked.

"I don't dare to be humble!"

"If Your Highness Taiqing feels that nothing is wrong in Marquis Li'an's car, then I can just follow His Highness's orders, and I will let you go. But if there is an oversight, and His Majesty blames me, I hope Your Highness will prove it."

Lan Zhan cupped his hands and said seriously.

"I believe that Marquis Li'an will not hide any assassins in his car!"

"If Your Majesty asks, I will personally explain to Your Majesty!"

"Let it go!"

Li Jingyao said coldly with a sullen face.

She knew in her heart that Lan Zhan had always held a grudge against Li Wuji because of Cheng Zifeng's murder.

"Your Majesty!"

Lan Zhan agreed without hesitation, and immediately waved his hand, asking his subordinates to move out of the way and stop blocking Li Wuji.

"Wait a moment!"

But at this moment, another voice suddenly came, and then a figure wearing a green gown and holding a long sword walked out of the crowd and quickly came to Li Jingyao. It was the envoy of the Five Elements Division.

Cold moon!

Seeing Leng Yue appear, Li Wuji couldn't help but curl his lips and reveal a sneer.

Everything that should come and everything that shouldn't come has come.

It’s really a narrow road for enemies!

"What's the matter with you?!"

Li Jingyao turned to look at Leng Yue and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Taiqing, since Commander Lan is on an errand, he must not be careless in the slightest. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, all of us will be blamed!"

Leng Yue bowed respectfully to Li Jingyao and said seriously.

"You want to check too?!"

Li Jingyao frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"It is the duty of our ministers to apprehend the assassin and bring him to justice. What's more, the assassin is killing your Majesty. The matter is of great importance. You must not break the rules just because of a certain person!"

"If Marquis Li'an refuses to search his carriage, it means that His Majesty's safety is more important than his face. Such thoughts are extremely disrespectful!"

"What's more, it's so good. I wonder where the injury on Mr. Hou's hand came from?!"

Leng Yue cupped her hands and said decisively.

"Are you hurt?"

After hearing Leng Yue's words, Li Jingyao noticed that Li Wuji's left hand was wrapped with a strip of cloth, and blood had seeped out. It seemed that he had just been injured.

"I accidentally scratched it. It's just a minor injury. Your Highness doesn't need to worry."

Li Wuji smiled and explained.

Looking at the injury on Li Wuji's hand, Li Jingyao couldn't help but frown and fell into silence, unable to make a decision for a moment.

To be honest, even she is beginning to doubt it now!

"It seems that if you don't check my carriage today, you won't give up?!"

Li Wuji sneered, looked at Lan Zhan and Leng Yue, and asked coldly.

"It's my duty, I hope you will cooperate with me!"

Leng Yue had no expression on her face and replied confidently.

"Okay, I understand that you are fulfilling your duties and can investigate!"

"But if nothing is found, you must kneel down and apologize in front of everyone!"

Li Wuji snorted coldly and said with a livid face.

"If nothing is found, I will naturally kneel down and apologize to the Marquis!"

Leng Yue nodded and said without thinking.

"And you?"

Li Wuji turned to look at Lan Zhan and asked in a deep voice.

"Since the envoy Leng Zhen has agreed, the general will do the same."

Lan Zhan cupped his hands and said in a feigned respect.

"Okay, since you want to check, then go ahead and check!"

Li Wuji said coldly and disdainfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Yue was the first to step forward quickly, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with one hand and pushing open the carriage door with the other!

Everyone looked over attentively, including Li Jingyao!

But as the carriage door opened, there was no one inside. There was only a sword box lying across the carriage, and there was still a trace of blood on the sandalwood box that had not completely dried!

Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions couldn't help but change.

Especially Lan Zhan and Leng Yue, they were almost certain that the assassin was hiding in the carriage, and they had even begun to suspect that Li Wuji was the mastermind behind it!

"Where is the assassin? Could it be that he is invisible?!"

"Come out! You've been found!"

Li Wuji pointed at the empty carriage and said with a sneer.

Hearing Li Wuji's sarcasm, Lan Zhan and Leng Yue's expressions became extremely ugly.

But Leng Yue didn't intend to give up. After a moment's hesitation, she reluctantly stepped onto the shaft of the car and prepared to get into the car!

"roll!"

Li Wuji's face darkened, he shouted loudly, and suddenly rushed out like lightning, kicking Leng Yue in the back!

Leng Yue noticed a strong gust of wind coming from behind, and without any time to hesitate, she hurriedly turned around and covered her chest with her arms!

A dull sound came, and Leng Yue, who was already standing on the shaft of the car, was kicked hard by Li Wuji in both arms. She couldn't help but flew backwards, staggering back several steps.

Only then can you stabilize your body shape!

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned again. No one thought that Li Wuji would suddenly take action against Leng Yue!

At this time, Leng Yue's face was pale, her arms had almost lost consciousness, and her whole person was in a miserable state.

"Now that it's confirmed, what else do you want?!"

"Can anyone enter or exit the carriage at will?!"

Li Wuji looked coldly at Leng Yue who had fallen at the other end of the carriage, his face was ashen, and he asked coldly, his voice full of murderous intent.

Leng Yue gritted her teeth, glanced at the indifferent Lan Zhan unwillingly, stretched out her numb right hand, and held it on the hilt of the sword!

"Enough!"

At this moment, Li Jingyao spoke again, her expression equally ugly.

"Since we've confirmed that there's nothing inside, why don't you let us go?!"

Li Jingyao glared at Lan Zhan and Leng Yue and said in a deep voice.

Hearing Li Jingyao's words, Lan Zhan hurriedly and respectfully agreed, and Leng Yue had no choice but to grit her teeth and give up, bowing respectfully.

"Wait a minute, you two seemed to have promised something just now."

Li Wuji was unreasonable and said coldly.

After hearing Li Wuji's words, Lan Zhan and Leng Yue changed their expressions, but they had no choice but to walk together in front of Li Wuji, pretending to kneel down.

"It's not with me, but with His Royal Highness!"
