Chapter 205: A plan within a plan(1/2)
Windy City.
Ziboju branch.
Li Wuji sat on a chair, sipping the tea while looking up at Tan Sheng, the Water Elemental Envoy who was brought in front of him by Lu Yuan.
Tan Sheng was also looking at Li Wuji, but his eyes were full of indifference and even a trace of undisguised anger.
"It seems that Commander Tan is a little unconvinced?"
Li Wuji curled his lips and sneered, and said lightly.
"I admire the Marquis's courage for daring to detain the Five Elements Commander without authorization. Does the Marquis know what the crime should be?"
Tan Sheng snorted coldly and asked disdainfully.
Although he was arrested, his arrogance did not diminish at all.
"I don't like to be threatened the most in my life. You don't really think that I will let you go if you just say a few harsh words, do you?"
"Whether you move out of Leng Yue or the empress, I don't care."
Li Wuji sneered and said nonchalantly.
Tan Sheng gritted his teeth, stared at Li Wuji fiercely, and stopped talking.
As we all know, Marquis Li'an has always been bold and reckless in the capital, and the people he offended can fill the entire world's top floors.
"Still not convinced?"
Li Wuji smiled and asked lightly.
Tan Sheng snorted coldly and did not answer. He still looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
"Kneel down!"
Lu Yuan shouted sharply and kicked Tan Sheng directly on the knee!
Tan Sheng snorted, staggered and knelt on the ground, and then turned to look at Lu Yuan fiercely.
"You must not recruit him. His temper is not as good as mine. If he wants you to die, he will never let you live until dawn."
Li Wuji reminded him with a smile.
Tan Sheng hesitated for a moment, turned around hesitantly, and did not get entangled with Lu Yuan.
"Leng Yue ordered you, right? You want to see how I will deal with Pang Xun's old men?"
"It seems that she still doubts me and wants to kill me."
Li Wuji sighed and said helplessly.
"No comment!"
"I advise you to let me go. I can treat this as if it didn't happen. But if you don't let me go, Leng Zhenfu will definitely find you here soon, and you will be in big trouble by then!"
Tan Sheng looked at Li Wuji and said coldly, looking confident.
"You want to say that you have left marks along the way, right? Through those marks, Leng Yue has long known that you disappeared while following me, and then suspected me?"
Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.
After hearing Li Wuji's words, Tan Sheng couldn't help but frown and looked at Li Wuji in surprise.
"That's right, all of your marks were destroyed by my people. Now no one in the entire Windy City knows your whereabouts, let alone that you are here at this time."
Li Wuji said without any secret.
"you…"
Tan Sheng looked solemn and was speechless for a moment.
He started to keep an eye on Li Wuji's whereabouts after Li Wuji left Zixia Mountain, but before he could report to Leng Yue, he was already caught by Tianshu who was lurking in the dark!
Originally, when Li Wuji first left Fengcheng, Leng Yue had sent everyone to secretly monitor Li Wuji, but later almost everyone was thrown away, including Tan Sheng.
But just as Li Wuji was leaving Zixia Mountain, he was accidentally discovered by Tan Sheng!
"There's a secret I want to tell you."
"I have all beheaded the assassins of the generals of the Zhenbei Army and set them on fire."
"The mission is completed. We will soon set off to return to the capital. However, your master does not know that those people are not Pang Xun's old men at all."
"They are just a group of bandits running around the border and beyond."
Li Wuji looked at Tan Sheng, with a smile on his lips, and said slowly.
Hearing the secret from Li Wuji's mouth, Tan Sheng opened his eyes wide in surprise and was extremely shocked.
He didn't know these things because he had been arrested before this happened.
But then he fell into doubt, wondering why Li Wuji told him such an important clue!
This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. If you report it to the empress, you will be beheaded!
In fact, those bandits were already accused of assassinating the general of the Zhenbei Army by Li Wuji before they arrived in Fengcheng. He never intended to punish the real culprits!
Because the people who killed those generals were not Pang Xun’s old tribe at all. Pang Xun’s old tribe did show up in Fengcheng under his instruction and deliberately exposed their whereabouts, but the murderers were people from Xuanmen!
The so-called border army rebellion was just planned by him, just to find a reason to come to Fengcheng and go to Zixia Mountain to look for the Red Dragon Seal!
In this game of chess, the last piece finally fell tonight!
"Why are you telling me this?! Aren't you afraid that I will go back and tell Ambassador Lengzhen?!"
Tan Sheng hesitated and asked coldly.
"Oh, that's right!"
"You know my secret, how can I let you go?!"
Li Wuji pretended to be stunned for a moment and said nervously.
Seeing the change in Li Wuji's expression, Tan Sheng frowned, suddenly feeling a little uneasy in his heart!
"It seems like this is the only way to go."
Li Wuji thought deeply and sighed.
"What do you want?!"
Tan Sheng's heart tightened and he asked in a deep voice, feeling excited.
"Now that you know my secret, the only option is death."
Li Wuji said with a smile.
"How dare you?!"
Tan Sheng's eyes widened, he looked at Li Wuji fiercely, shouted sternly, and couldn't help but start struggling, trying to break free from the ropes tied to his body.
"Don't waste your efforts. From the moment you are caught, you are already a dead person."
Li Wuji smiled, shook his head, and said lightly.
He was not sure whether Tan Sheng saw him going to Zixia Mountain and entering the Uninhabited Valley, so Tan Sheng could only die.
"Kill me, and the Five Elements Department will never let you go!"
Tan Sheng said excitedly, his struggling movements getting bigger and bigger, but the more he struggled, the tighter the rope tied around him!
"It doesn't matter, your master never wanted to live in peace with me from the beginning."
Li Wuji waved his hand disdainfully and said lightly.
All along, Leng Yue has been causing trouble for him overtly and covertly, and has been doubting his identity.
"Master, Leng Yue is here!"
At this moment, Di Long's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Long had already left in a hurry.
Hearing Di Long's words, Li Wuji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"cold…"
Tan Sheng also heard what was said outside, and he immediately seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He opened his mouth to shout, but before he could make a sound, Lu Yuan's sword had already pierced his throat in an instant!
As a stream of blood spurted out, Tan Sheng's eyes widened, full of unwillingness and shock, and he fell to the ground!
He is dead!
Died by ignorant self-confidence!
For today's Li Wuji, let alone killing a small Five Elements Commander, even killing Leng Yue is as simple as picking something out of a bag!
So far, there are a total of five envoys of the Five Elements Department, and two of them have died at the hands of Li Wuji!
"Master Hou, are you okay?"
"I heard that you were assassinated by a killer, so I came here to have a look."
At this time, Leng Yue's voice came in from outside the door.
