Early the next morning.

Li Wuji took Lu Yuan away, left Li'anhou Mansion in his own carriage, and rushed to the north gate of the capital to meet up with the large army.

"The Marquis only brings one entourage?"

Seeing that only Lu Yuan was with Li Wuji, Leng Yue frowned and asked in confusion.

"It's not like we're going to fight, so what's the point of bringing so many people?"

Li Wuji stood on the carriage shaft, pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at the people Leng Yue was bringing, and asked casually.

Looking around, Leng Yue had brought hundreds of people, including two Five Elements Commanders alone. The rest of his men were already on full alert before they even left the city, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

"Since the other party was able to kill several generals in the army in the border town, they should not be underestimated. Moreover, they are Pang Xun's old troops, and there are probably a large number of men lurking in the border town."

"Shouldn't we bring more manpower to be prepared? Is it possible that the Marquis intends to spare Pang Xun's old troops? Can't bear to kill them all?"

Leng Yue snorted lightly and said in a deep voice.

"If they are really from the Jianghu, just four words from me, Mr. Wuji, will be enough!"

"If the effect is not good and the situation cannot be controlled, we will have no choice but to have Lord Lao Leng."

Li Wuji pointed at the officers and soldiers of the Five Elements Division neatly arranged at the city gate, and said jokingly.

Leng Yue frowned, said nothing, turned around and walked towards his horse, preparing to set off.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

But at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, and then the carriage from the East Palace was seen quickly approaching the city gate, surrounded by a group of guards. The driver was Tong Zhuo.

Seeing Li Jingyao's carriage, Li Wuji raised his eyebrows, jumped out of the carriage, and waited respectfully aside.

Leng Yue also turned around and went back, standing aside.

As the carriage stopped, Li Jingyao quickly walked out of the carriage and came to Li Wuji.

"I have met His Highness!"

Li Wuji smiled and bowed his hands.

Leng Yue, who was on the side, knelt directly on the ground and saluted humbly.

"Sir, I just heard that His Majesty sent you to the north early this morning. Fortunately, you arrived in time."

"Although I can't go with you, I still want to come and see you off in person."

Li Jingyao helped Li Wuji up and said with a smile.

"I'd like to trouble Your Highness to send you off personally. I feel ashamed to receive it."

Li Wuji said embarrassedly.

"The friendship between you and me is unparalleled by others. This is what I deserve. However, the northern border is far away from the capital. It is inevitable that we will encounter some difficulties and dangers. I hope you will take care of yourself and see if you can complete the mission."

The important thing is to come back safely."

Li Jingyao grabbed Li Wuji's hand and said with a worried look on her face, her eyes full of sincerity.

Leng Yue, who was kneeling aside, listened to Li Jingyao's concern for Li Wuji, and her face became a little ugly. She had been kneeling for a long time, but Li Jingyao didn't even look at her, and didn't even give her instructions to let her go.

Be courteous.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will return in triumph."

As Li Wuji spoke, he took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, bowed his hand, and said firmly.

"well."

"Chief Lengzhen, please get up too."

Li Jingyao nodded, hesitated for a moment, turned to look at Leng Yue who was kneeling beside her, raised her hand to signal and said.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Leng Yue said respectfully, stood up slowly, but complained in her heart, you finally saw me.

"Envoy Leng Zhen, the journey to the north is going to be difficult and dangerous. I hope you will protect Anhou Zhouquan no matter what. No matter what happens, nothing will happen to him, otherwise I will definitely take issue with you!"

Li Jingyao looked at Leng Yue and said in a deep voice, showing a majestic face.

"Your Highness Taiqing, please rest assured that with your humble position, nothing will happen to Marquis Li'an!"

Li Jingyao bowed her hands and said firmly.

But although the answer was cheerful on the lips, the feeling was even worse in the heart.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Li Wuji finally said goodbye to Li Jingyao, got on the carriage again, and followed the large army of the Five Elements Division slowly out of the city.

"Young Master! On the day of your triumphant return, I will personally take care of you!"

Li Jingyao shouted at the top of her lungs as she watched Li Wuji's carriage drive out of the city gate.

"I would like to thank Your Highness in advance!"

As Li Wuji spoke, he stretched his hand out of the car window and waved to the back.

In this way, a group of hundreds of people embarked on the road to the north.

...

Seven days later.

Leaving the north of the country.

Beside a stream, a group of more than a hundred people stopped marching and set up camp.

Along the way, under Leng Yue's suggestion, the large army worked hard, traveling day and night, without much rest, and finally arrived at the northern border, with only two days left to travel from the border town.

In order to recharge his batteries and deal with Pang Xun's old troops lurking in the border town, Leng Yue chose this camp and ordered to rest for the night and start again early tomorrow morning.

The people from the Five Elements Division had already set up temporary tents, but they didn't have Li Wuji's share, so he could only rest in the carriage.

Fortunately, before leaving, Pang Xiaoxiao prepared enough dry food and water, and also added two quilts to the carriage, so that Li Wuji's journey was not so painful.

Although Li Wuji is not that delicate, it is always good to live a more comfortable life.

Standing by the turbulent stream, Li Wuji listened to the sound of running water and looked at the fading sunset on the horizon, feeling particularly comfortable.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he had left the capital so far since time travel.

"Master Marquis, we are almost at the border town. I am tired from traveling all the way and working non-stop. This is not intentional due to my humble position. It is because I have an imperial mandate and I must reach the border town as quickly as possible. I hope you will forgive me."

At this moment, Leng Yue slowly came to Li Wuji and said with an apologetic look.

"It doesn't matter. Lord Leng is loyal and resolute, and I admire him very much. This must be why Your Majesty thinks so highly of Lord Leng."

Li Wuji smiled and said casually.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your compliment."

Leng Yue bowed her hands and said sheepishly.

"Thanks to Master Leng for taking care of me along the way. I should be the one to say thank you."

Li Wuji waved his hand and said seriously.

"Master Hou made a strong statement."

"But since we are about to arrive at the border town, please have a good rest and recuperate your energy so that you can deal with the rebellious officials and traitors lurking in the border town."

Leng Yue cupped her hands and said sincerely.

"It's easy to say, I know it well."

Li Wuji smiled and nodded.

"In this case, I will not disturb the Marquis due to my humble position."

"By the way, Lord Marquis, I was in a hurry when I left the capital and didn't bring enough tents with me. I wonder if it would be comfortable for Lord Marquis to rest on the carriage?"

"Do you still have some food left?"

Leng Yue bowed her hands and turned to leave, but after taking two steps, she turned around again and asked with concern on her face.

"Everything is fine, Lord Lao Leng is worried."

Li Wuji glanced at Leng Yue and said casually.

Leng Yue nodded, said nothing more, turned around and walked towards her tent.

Li Wuji looked at Leng Yue's leaving figure, curled his lips and sneered.

The weasel sent New Year greetings to the rooster, which was not a good idea!

Time passed quickly, and it was late at night before I knew it. The entire camp was extremely quiet, as if everyone had fallen asleep, and only a few officers and soldiers from the Five Elements Division were stationed outside.

"Sir, it's almost time."

After a long time, Lu Yuan's voice slowly came from outside the carriage.

Li Wuji, who was leaning in the carriage with his eyes closed to relax, opened his eyes instantly. His bright eyes were full of energy and there was no trace of sleepiness.

After a slight hesitation, Li Wuji slowly stood up and walked out of the carriage. After glancing around, he led Lu Yuan around the guards, quietly walked towards the distant mountains and forests, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Behind a tent not far from the carriage, two officers and soldiers of the Five Elements Division were leaning against the tent and snoring without knowing it.

They were originally ordered by Leng Yue to hide here and monitor Li Wuji, but maybe they were too tired, or maybe they didn't see Li Wuji leave the carriage until late at night, so they relaxed their vigilance and accidentally fell asleep.

In the mountains and forests.

Li Wuji leaned under a big tree, hiding himself through the lush branches and leaves.

Lu Yuan stood quietly aside, holding a long sword in his hand and carrying a sandalwood sword case on his back. His eyes were like torches, scanning everything around him coldly.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came, and a green figure flashed out of the forest, and then quickly came to Li Wuji.
Chapter completed!
