Jinlongwei Yamen.

"A guard captain is a master of the ninth level. It seems that the Golden Dragon Guard of Lord Marquis will soon be able to surpass the Five Elements Division!"

"Oh, no, I almost forgot about my humble position."

"At this morning's court meeting, His Majesty has already announced to all officials that the Marquis is now a first-class military prince. He is the largest civil and military leader in the court. How can he be compared to Lord Leng Yueleng?"

"I just made a mistake because of my humble position. I hope you will forgive me."

Luo Ping said respectfully with a flattering smile on his face.

"I didn't expect Mr. Luo to be a flatterer, but I like to listen. If you have nothing to do, you can say more."

Li Wuji shook his head and said with laughter.

After hearing Li Wuji's words, Luo Ping couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly expressed that what he just said came from the bottom of his heart.

"Reporting to your Majesty the Commander, someone from the Five Elements Department is here and wants to see you for something they need to do."

At this moment, the Golden Dragon Guard appeared at the door again and said respectfully.

Hearing this man's words, Li Wuji raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Luo Ping.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will come.

"I really can't help but think about it, but at this time, Leng Zhenfu should still be in the confinement facing the wall, right? What can the Five Elements Division do to ask the Marquis?"

Luo Ping smiled and said thoughtfully.

"Then you might as well ask someone to come in and ask."

Li Wuji smiled and nodded at the subordinate at the door.

Soon, a woman walked in quickly following Jin Longwei.

Li Wuji narrowed his eyes when he saw the word "LAN" embroidered on the woman's chest.

Lan Ying is Leng Yue’s personal guard!

"For your humble position, please see the commander!"

"I've met Commander Luo."

After the woman entered the door, she glanced at Luo Ping who was sitting beside her, and then bowed to each other, but her attitude towards the two people in front of her was obvious, and she was obviously a little more casual towards Luo Ping.

Over the years, the Five Elements Division has been guarding Du Yingwei, and Luo Ping felt uncomfortable.

"What's the matter?"

Li Wuji smiled and asked softly.

While he was talking, Jiang Shang had already walked in with a freshly brewed pot of hot tea, and respectfully poured a cup for Li Wuji and Luo Ping each. There was no emotion on his face, as if he was already familiar with serving tea and pouring water.

"The envoy of Lengzhen heard that the Marquis was rewarded by His Majesty for his trip to the north. He was promoted to the rank of military marquis and was promoted to the commander of the Golden Dragon Guard. He specially ordered the humble minister to come to express his congratulations."

The woman cupped her hands and said with great respect.

"If it's just to congratulate you, why do you come empty-handed?"

Li Wuji asked with a smile, looking extremely serious.

After hearing Li Wuji's words, the woman was obviously stunned and looked a little embarrassed.

When Luo Ping saw this scene, he couldn't help but turn his head away and almost laughed out loud.

"My humble position is just to convey messages on my behalf. After Lord Leng is lifted from confinement, I will personally deliver the gifts to you."

"But Lord Leng also said that since the Marquis has the imperial mandate to eradicate Pang Xun's old tribe and the Qingxuan Sect, if the Five Elements Division can be used in the future, please feel free to speak up!"

"Everyone in the Five Elements Department will go all out to help the Marquis fulfill His Majesty's will!"

The woman hesitated for a moment, then raised her hands and said loudly.

"Lord Leng is interested, but when I am at the end of my rope, how dare I trouble Lord Leng? Otherwise, I won't be able to catch the culprit, and instead I will be avenged by Lord Leng."

"If that's really the case, then the gains outweigh the losses."

Li Wuji smiled and said meaningfully.

Hearing Li Wuji's answer, the woman frowned and her face became a little ugly, but she did not dare to say anything in front of Li Wuji.

The faces of Luo Ping and Jiang Shang on the side were not much better, and they did not expect that Li Wuji didn't save any face at all.

"Go back and tell Mr. Leng that since you are grounded and facing the wall, you should reflect on yourself and figure out where you made a mistake. You will not do it again in the future."

"It's better for her to worry less about other people's affairs, so as not to add unnecessary fuss."

Li Wuji paused for a moment, then said again, this time more straightforwardly.

After listening to Li Wuji's words, even Luo Ping couldn't help but shrink his neck, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

In this capital, I am afraid that only Li Wuji dared not to take Leng Yue seriously in public.

"Your Majesty's words will be conveyed to you."

"Now that the words have been brought, I will resign first."

The woman bowed her hands and said respectfully, her face no longer as calm as before.

"No!"

Li Wuji said coldly.

The woman stopped lingering and turned around to leave. It seemed that even she herself did not expect that this trip would be a disaster and the Five Elements Department would lose its face.

"Master Luo, drink tea."

Li Wuji turned his head and raised his tea cup towards Luo Ping, and mentioned it with a smile, as if nothing happened just now.

"Replace wine with tea to honor the Marquis!"

Luo Ping came back to his senses, hurriedly picked up the teacup, and said with a flattering expression, his fear of Li Wuji deepened even more.

After sending Luo Ping away, Li Wuji stayed in the Yamen for a while and then left. He just pretended to tell the Golden Dragon Guard to investigate closely the traces of Pang Xun's old department and Qingxuanmen.

Although he has already entered the official position, the empress has made a promise that he does not need to participate in the morning court and court affairs. He is only responsible for concentrating on eradicating Pang Xun's old tribe and Qingxuanmen.

In the next few days, he occasionally showed up in the Golden Dragon Guard and pretended to be pretentious. Anyway, the investigation of clues was handled by his subordinates. He, the commander, could not be allowed to visit and investigate in person, right?

And since he became the commander, the ministers in the court seemed to want to curry favor with him more obviously, and the threshold of Li Anhou Mansion was almost crossed.

In desperation, he could only temporarily return to Jiuyou Realm, drinking and having fun all day without leaving home.

This news had already been reported to the Empress.

...

In the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, and Li Wuji is also ushering in his first New Year after his rebirth.

In order to benefit the people of the capital, Li Wuji ordered people to spend a lot of money to find all kinds of opera troupes all over the world, preparing to set up stages to sing during the New Year.

Moreover, he had to prepare New Year's gifts for the Empress and Li Jingyao, so he was so busy that he hardly even showed up at the Golden Dragon Guard Yamen.

The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Leaving Anhou Mansion.

Before dawn, Jiang Shang hurried to the Hou Mansion and knocked on the door.

"Sir, Jiang Shang is here. He said he has something to ask for."

Just when Li Wuji was sleeping soundly, he was woken up by a knock on the door, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

A moment later, Li Wuji opened the door wearing a long gown and stared at Cao Zian at the door, his teeth itching with hatred.

"Sir, it's not my fault. It's that Jiang Shang who came to the door early in the morning. Who knows what he wants to do."

Cao Zian took a step back and said nervously.

"Let him get in!"

Li Wuji said coldly and walked towards the side hall.

Not long after, Jiang Shang, led by Cao Zian, slowly walked into the backyard and came to the side hall.

"You better have something really wrong, otherwise I will never let you go!"

Li Wuji looked at Jiang Shang who came in and said something coldly with a gloomy face. After saying that, he couldn't help but yawn.

Being woken up by someone while sleeping is exactly the same as getting done without taking off your pants, which is always annoying.

"Your Majesty, Commander, after nearly a month of investigation, I have finally found out the whereabouts of Pang Xun's old troops, and have sent someone to secretly escort this man back to Beijing!"

"In order to deceive others, we have placed this person in a secret house in the east of the city. Please make a decision!"

Jiang Shang hurriedly saluted and said respectfully. After speaking, he showed a smile asking for credit.

After hearing what he said, Cao Zian, who was standing at the door, changed his expression instantly, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes!

"Is the identity true?"

Li Wuji looked at Jiang Shang without changing his expression and asked coldly.

"It's absolutely true! When we found this person, he was meeting with others, and he seemed to be plotting something. However, a fierce fight broke out at that time, and we had no choice but to capture this person alone."

Jiang Shang nodded affirmatively and said loudly.

"In that case, let's go and meet him."

"You go to the front yard and wait while I allow you to freshen up and put on your clothes."

Li Wuji waved his hand and yawned.

Jiang Shang agreed, bowed his hands, and slowly left the backyard.

Watching Jiang Shang leave, the sleepiness on Li Wuji's face disappeared instantly, and his eyes became extremely cold.
