In the mountains and forests.

As the first killer fell, the remaining four killers couldn't help but be stunned, as if they didn't expect that Li Wuji's cultivation level was so unfathomable!

Before they could recover, Li Wuji had quickly turned to another person, and this time he punched!

Seeing Li Wuji's attack, the killer was about to swing his sword, but suddenly remembered what his companion had just experienced, so he subconsciously put his sword in front of his chest to protect his vitals!

A crisp sound was heard instantly, and the sword edge guarded by the killer's chest was directly hit by Li Wuji's punch, and was broken into two parts in the blink of an eye!

The remaining power of the iron fist was not gone, and it struck hard on the killer's chest!

As a mouthful of blood spurted out, the second killer was also dead and fell to the ground like a puddle of mud!

Four killers, two lost in the blink of an eye!

Before the remaining two people could fully recover, Li Wuji quickly rushed forward and eliminated all four of them with three moves, five by five, and two!

Since receiving some advice from Old Man Wuji, his cultivation level has once again made a qualitative leap!

On the other side, all the other killers who had fought with Lu Yuan had fallen into a pool of blood. Only one living person with a broken arm was left kneeling on the ground, looking at the long sword on his neck, his face was pale and his whole body was shaking!

Different from Li Wuji's playful attack just now, whenever Lu Yuan uses his sword, he is bound to see blood, and all of them are life-threatening moves!

If Li Wuji hadn't warned him in advance, more than a dozen killers would have been wiped out!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan, with a pale face, escorted the last killer to Li Wuji.

Looking at the killer who was forced to kneel in front of him, Li Wuji's lips revealed a sneer without any emotion.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came, and a group of people appeared in the woods and rushed here quickly.

The leader is none other than Leng Yue!

"Master Hou, are you okay?!"

Leng Yue looked at the corpses on the ground in the forest, her face changed, she looked at Li Wuji, and asked in surprise.

Although she and Li Wuji had nothing to do with each other, she personally promised Tai Qing when she left the capital that she would never let anything go wrong with Marquis Li An, otherwise he would be punished after returning to the capital!

"fine."

Li Wuji glanced at Leng Yue who suddenly appeared, shook his head and said.

"When did the Marquis leave the camp? Why did he suddenly appear here?"

Leng Yue looked at Li Wuji doubtfully and asked.

"I was sleeping soundly at night, and suddenly I noticed something was wrong nearby, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect that there was a killer lurking in the forest!"

Li Wuji smiled and said.

"Where are you from?! Are you trying to stop us from going to the border town?!"

Leng Yue had a sullen face, looked at the survivor coldly and asked.

"No need to ask. If my prediction is correct, they should be members of the Lingyao Sword Sect."

Li Wuji waved his hand and said slowly.

"Lingyao Sword Sect?!"

"They are here for Mr. Hou?!"

Leng Yue frowned and said in a deep voice.

She originally thought that these killers were members of Pang Xun's old tribe lurking in the border town, but she didn't expect that people from the Lingyao Sword Sect actually pursued them to the north to assassinate Marquis Li'an!

"Has Yue Lingyao also arrived in the north?"

Li Wuji ignored Leng Yue and slowly came to the living person, squatted down slowly, stared into the person's eyes, and asked with a smile, just like a greeting between friends.

The killer swallowed. Although his eyes were full of fear, he kept his lips tightly closed and refused to say a word!

"If you are willing to tell the truth, I can let you live."

Li Wuji smiled and stretched out his hand to help the killer put on the slightly crooked scarf again.

Seeing Li Wuji's actions, the killer couldn't help but trembled, thinking that Li Wuji was going to uncover his face.

"Don't want to say?"

"You are a bit stubborn now."

Li Wuji looked at the determined killer, sighed, and said helplessly.

Leng Yue, who was standing aside, looked at the kind-hearted Li Wuji squatting on the ground, and couldn't help but frown. The back of his neck couldn't help but feel a little cold, especially when he saw the smile on Li Wuji's face that couldn't tell the truth.

.

"Forget it, you are of no use to me anymore, go home."

"Go back and tell Yue Lingyao that when I am free one day, I will go to Lingyao Sword Sect in person to talk to her about the past."

Li Wuji stood up with a smile, waved his hand, and said lightly.

As the words fell, Lu Yuan slowly put away his sword and put it into its sheath. The murderous look in his eyes when he looked at the killer no longer seemed to be the same as a dead person in his eyes.

The killer was obviously stunned for a moment, then at Li Wuji's signal, he slowly stood up and walked tentatively towards the depths of the mountain forest, looking back three times with each step, looking nervous.

After walking out for more than ten steps, he found that there was really no obstacle to Li Wuji. The killer finally believed Li Wuji's words, turned around and rushed deep into the forest!

Li Wuji looked at the killer's fleeing back, a faint chuckle appeared at the corner of his mouth, and as the palm of his right hand opened and closed, a stone had already reached his hand!

Immediately afterwards, Li Wuji bent his thumb and middle finger and instantly flicked the stone out!

A sound of breaking through the air disappeared in a flash, and then I saw the killer who had escaped far away fell directly to the ground, and there was a stream of blood on the back of his head slowly following the stones embedded in his skull.

Slow leakage!

The only living person has been buried in this mountain forest!

"Didn't you say you wanted to let him go?"

Leng Yue frowned and looked at Li Wuji in confusion and asked.

She almost didn't see Li Wuji's action just now!

"I'm just kidding."

Li Wuji turned his head and glanced at Leng Yue, said with a smile, then turned around and walked towards the camp again.

Leng Yue froze on the spot, watching Li Wuji leave, her eyes couldn't help flashing with deep fear!

An unexpected assassination just happened to cover up Li Wuji's whereabouts, preventing Leng Yue from discovering anything.

…

Two days later.

Northern border town.

Windy City.

Li Wuji and Leng Yue's group of hundreds of people finally arrived. General Meng Jie, the leader of the Northern Army and the lord of Wind City, personally came out of the city to greet them.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers gathered at the entire city gate, plus the people who came to watch, forming a sea of ​​​​people.

When they heard that an imperial envoy had come to the capital, the people wanted to come and see the excitement. At the same time, they also hoped that the envoy could solve the crisis in the border town and restore peace to Fengcheng.

"General Meng!"

Leng Yue came to Meng Jie and bowed her hands.

Although the Five Elements Department is the head of the three major yamen in the capital besides the Sixth Department, its position is not higher than that of Meng Jie, not to mention that Fengcheng is Meng Jie's territory.

Meng Jie had a majestic look on his face, and just returned the salute with a symbolic fist clasping, nodded slightly, then bypassed Leng Yue and personally greeted Li Wuji who got off the carriage and came slowly.

"The last general, Meng Jie, has met Marquis Li'an!"

After the two stood facing each other, Meng Jie bowed his hands and said in a deep voice, his attitude was obviously more serious than when he faced Leng Yue just now.

Seeing this scene, Leng Yue narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth without having a seizure.

"I have long heard of the reputation of General Meng, and it is a great honor to meet him today."

Li Wuji clasped his fists in return and said with a smile.

"Master Hou is overly praised!"

"We have worked hard all the way and it's hard for the Marquis. The general has prepared a banquet for the Marquis and personally welcomes the Marquis."

"please!"

As Mengjie spoke, he stepped aside, made a gesture of invitation, and said seriously.

"There is General Lao Meng. After traveling all the way, he is indeed a little hungry."

"please!"

Li Wuji smiled and said the same gesture of invitation. He and Meng Jie got on a horse respectively and walked straight towards the city.

Leng Yue watched the two people leaving together, her expression turned extremely ugly, she snorted coldly, and followed behind.

Lu Yuan drove the carriage alone at the back, pulling the reins, glanced at the people watching on both sides of the road, and nodded calmly.

A figure was hidden in the crowd, nodded slightly, then turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

It was Di Long who had arrived at Windy City in advance.
