Windy City.

Garrison military post.

Li Wuji, Leng Yue, and Meng Jie sat around a table in a harmonious atmosphere. The table was filled with all kinds of delicacies, all specialties from border towns.

Many lieutenant generals were killed for no reason, but Meng Jie, as a general of the frontier army, was very tight-lipped. From the meeting with Li Wuji and Leng Yue until now, he has never mentioned this matter.

"General Meng, it has been so long since the assassination, have you found any traces of the assassins?"

After drinking for three rounds, Leng Yue finally couldn't hold back and spoke.

"Those people under my general can charge into battle, but if they are to deal with the Jianghu people, they will always be stretched thin and have no rules."

"So many days have passed, and there are still no clues about the assassin, and the group has not appeared again."

"Fortunately, Lord Leng and Marquis Li'an arrived in time. I can only handle the rest. If you need help, please feel free to contact me."

Meng Jie shook his head, looked at Li Wuji and Leng Yue, smiled and said.

Such a big thing has happened and there has been no progress yet, but he can still laugh.

"Don't worry, General Meng. No matter what the origin of the other party is, whether they are Pang Xun's old subordinates or not, the Five Elements Division will definitely not let them go!"

Leng Yue cupped her hands and said decisively.

"Master Hou? What do you have in mind?"

Meng Jie smiled and nodded, but turned to look at Li Wuji, asking for Li Wuji's opinion.

Leng Yue frowned, feeling a little unhappy in her heart, but she still managed not to have an attack.

Meng Jie's attitude clearly showed that he didn't trust Wuxingsi or her.

"For this trip to the north, Lord Leng and the Five Elements Department will be the main ones, and I will only serve as an auxiliary. General, why don't you just leave it to Lord Leng to deal with it? The general can rest assured about the capabilities of the Five Elements Department."

"But since the other party is a member of the Jianghu, we must use Jianghu's methods. I believe Master Leng has an idea on this matter. After all, Master Leng is already familiar with such matters in the capital, right?"

Li Wuji smiled, turned to look at Leng Yue and said slowly.

"Master Hou is overly praised."

"But please rest assured, Lord Marquis and the General, the Five Elements Division will go all out to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible!"

Leng Yue chuckled lightly, raised her hands and said in a deep voice to Meng Jie and Li Wuji, looking confident.

"That's alright, come on, let's not talk about business today and just drink."

Li Wuji smiled and picked up the wine glass, gestured to the two of them, and drank it down in one gulp.

Next, none of the three mentioned the assassin thing again, they complimented each other and talked about some interesting things that had happened in Capital City and Fengcheng in recent years.

While talking, Leng Yue and Meng Jie also brought up the matter of the former emperor Li Wuji leading Ling Tu to stir up trouble in the capital. Regarding this matter, Li Wuji just kept exclamating and did not say much. After all, "Li Wuji" finally

He died in his hands.

This meal lasted until the sun went down and the lanterns came on, and then it came to an end.

Leng Yue said goodbye first, left the guardhouse with his men, and moved into the city inn. Li Wuji did not expect that Leng Yue's drinking capacity was so good.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that he and Leng Yue sat at the same table to eat.

"Master Marquis, I have been in the army for twenty years. I have always been accustomed to a life of simple food and simple meals. Compared with the meal just now, it is still far from the Marquis's Zibo residence. The hospitality is not good. I hope you will forgive me."

Mengjie said with a smile while sending Li Wuji off, with a hint of apology in his words.

"The general is joking. There is no good or bad food. It all depends on who you share it with. You are right, even steamed corn pickles can be called delicious."

"From what the general said, it seems that he often goes to Zibo Ju to show his support?"

Li Wuji waved his hand and said with a smile.

"What the Marquis said is true. Ziboju's barbecue, even in a remote place like Fengcheng, is highly sought after by the people in the north. The general has also been there several times. It is indeed delicious."

"Not only that, I also occasionally went to Deyunxuan several times, which was very interesting."

Mengjie nodded and said with a laugh.

"Thank you for your support, General. I will give the order in a moment. If the General comes here in the future, he will definitely not take any money from you."

Li Wuji smiled apologetically and said generously.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Hou!"

Mengjie was not polite, smiled and cupped his hand.

"General, stay here. It's getting late. Let's take a rest early. I'll go ahead."

Li Wuji smiled and also cupped his hands, stopping Meng Jie who was sending him out of the guardhouse all the way. After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the carriage.

To be honest, if he hadn't heard Lu Yuan mention it on the way, even he wouldn't have known that branches of Ziboju and Deyunxuan had opened in the northern border town.

Cao Zian is taking care of these things and he never asks questions.

However, since he had his own territory in the city, Li Wuji naturally rejected Meng Jie's request to live in the guard house and decided to go to Zibo to rest.

When Li Wuji got on the carriage and walked into the carriage, the smiles on his and Mengjie's faces that they were reluctant to meet each other almost disappeared at the same time.

"Sir, you have been in there for so long, so you should be familiar with each other. How about it? Is there any possibility that Meng Jie will be subdued?"

On the way to the Ziboju branch, Lu Yuan asked softly while driving the car.

After hearing Lu Yuan's question, Li Wuji recalled what happened in the garrison today, and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

"This man's movements are full of iron-blooded energy. He may seem powerful, but he is extremely scheming and scheming. No other general can compare with him. He is considered a human being."

"As for whether it can be conquered, I'm afraid we can only know in the future. At least now is not the best time."

Li Wuji said calmly while thinking deeply.

It's not easy just to see Meng Jie showing concern about the murder of his men but not being impatient.

After a long time, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a restaurant. The shopkeeper and waiters were already waiting at the door. When they saw the carriage stop, they hurried forward to greet them, all with respectful faces.

Li Wuji slowly got off the carriage and looked at the plaque above his head with "Zibo Ju" engraved on it, with a faint smile on his lips.

"I really don't know how big Lao Cao's business has been. He even has a branch in this border area. It seems that he needs to be questioned carefully when he goes back to prevent this old boy from enriching himself behind my back."

Li Wuji said jokingly while looking at the restaurant in front of him, which made Lu Yuan behind him couldn't help but reveal an unprecedented smile.

But his joke made the shopkeeper of the branch tremble in fright, with cold sweat breaking out from his back.

These people are all from Tianyuan, basically Pang Xun's old tribe. Their purpose is to inquire about the information from all parties, and then collect it together and send it back to the capital.

"Young Master, please go inside and have a rest. The room has been prepared. I wonder if the wine and food in the Young Master's bathroom are to your liking. If necessary, I will immediately order the kitchen to prepare it for you."

The shopkeeper shrank his neck and said respectfully.

In order to welcome Li Wuji, the branch has announced yesterday that it will be closed from now on. We will notify you when we will resume business.

"No need, you all should go down and have a rest. You are not allowed to disturb me without my permission."

Li Wuji waved his hand, and while talking, he stepped inside.

"yes!"

The shopkeeper immediately agreed respectfully and retreated with the waiters.

Accompanied by Lu Yuan, Li Wuji went straight to the room that had been prepared for him.

The decoration of the branch is exactly the same as that of the main store in Capital City. Even the layout is almost exactly the same, with the same number of tables.

This gave Li Wuji a deeper understanding of Cao Zian's abilities.

After a long journey and a few more drinks, Li Wuji felt sleepy early on. He fell asleep as soon as he returned to the room and fell asleep almost as soon as he hit the pillow.

After midnight, under the cover of night, several figures slowly appeared on the street, entered the Zibo Ju branch through the back door, then came to the front hall and went straight to the second floor.

"Sir, we've arrived."

When Li Wuji was sleeping soundly, Lu Yuan's voice slowly reached his ears.

Hearing the words, Li Wuji frowned and woke up instantly. After calming down, he slowly sat up.

Lu Yuan held a basin of water and respectfully came to Li Wuji.

"Let them in."

Li Wuji picked up the towel placed on the edge of the basin, soaked it in water, wiped his face, glanced at the door, and said lightly.

"yes."

Lu Yuan agreed, put the washbasin on the shelf beside him, slowly came to the door, and opened the door.
