Chapter 220: Arrest within a time limit(1/2)
The first floor in the world.
In the box, Li Wuji hugged him from left to right, slightly drunk, and the smile on his lips never broke.
Xiao Hongxing sat aside silently, looking a little embarrassed.
He would never have come to a place like this before, not because he was calm, but because at the time, he didn't even have the money to buy a bowl of wine.
So everything here is very strange to him, and he even dares not to touch it easily, because what he has now is something he has worked hard to get.
The wine had been on the table for a long time, but he had never taken a sip. The price of this glass of wine alone was enough to buy three days' worth of medicine for his mother.
So he would rather treat himself as air and stay by silently.
However, in his heart, he never thought that Marquis Li'an was a drunkard and lustful person. What he saw in front of him was not true.
"First time here?"
Li Wuji drank the wine that one of the maikos put to his mouth, glanced at Xiao Hongxing, and asked with a smile.
"...yes."
Xiao Hongxing smiled awkwardly, nodded and answered softly.
"Then there's no need to be so nervous? Are you unable to let go in front of me?"
Li Wuji asked jokingly.
"No...just, not...not used to it..."
Xiao Hongxing shook his head and said a little embarrassed.
"You're not still a chick, are you?"
Li Wuji raised his eyebrows and asked happily.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Hongxing's face instantly turned red, and he couldn't help but lower his head, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Seeing Xiao Hongxing's reaction, Li Wuji immediately knew that he had guessed correctly, so he turned and winked at the two maikos beside him.
"Master Xiao, come and have a drink with me!"
"Come on..."
The two maikos understood immediately, stood up and came to Xiao Hongxing's side, lay directly on Xiao Hongxing's body, and said breathlessly.
Xiao Hongxing shrank his head, waved his hands repeatedly, and could no longer say anything nervous.
Seeing Xiao Hongxing in such embarrassment, Li Wuji couldn't help but smile and shook his head, but then he admired Xiao Hongxing in his heart.
A man who has never touched a woman has actually stayed with her for many years. He can be regarded as a man who values love and justice.
"Okay, you guys go down first, Mr. Xiao and I have something to talk about."
Seeing that the fuss was almost over, Li Wuji waved his hand and said calmly.
"yes."
After hearing Li Wuji's words, the two maikos stopped laughing, bowed respectfully, stood up and left the box.
Just as the two maikos walked out of the box, the smile on Li Wuji's face disappeared instantly.
Xiao Hongxing coughed twice in embarrassment, slowly sat up straight, and wiped the sweat from his forehead due to nervousness.
"Have you seen Zhu Shangshu's son recently?"
Li Wuji paused and asked calmly.
"I've met. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. He originally wanted to ask me to go on a trip with him, but I was too busy, so I didn't agree to it."
Xiao Hongxing hesitated and answered seriously.
"Oh, it seems that your relationship is going well."
Li Wuji responded casually and said slowly.
"Actually, he only wanted to get acquainted with me through me because of my close relationship with the young master."
"If it were in the past, how could the son of a dignified minister like me?"
Xiao Hongxing smiled bitterly and said slowly.
"You can't always live in the past. You have to look forward. Things you didn't have before will gradually come to you. You have to adapt to this change."
Li Wuji paused and said seriously.
"clear."
Xiao Hongxing nodded affirmatively and said respectfully.
Since getting to know Marquis Li'an, he has indeed learned a lot and been exposed to things he had never been exposed to before.
When a person is down, everyone around him will criticize or even scorn him. But when a person really gets better one day, those people with ugly faces around him will gradually become "good people".
.
"Let's meet Zhu Hexuan for a casual dinner tonight."
Li Wuji thought for a while and said calmly.
"With the young master?"
Xiao Hongxing asked hesitantly.
"No, just you two."
"I took an opportunity during the dinner to tell him that it is best for the father and son not to go out these two days, so as not to leave corpses on the streets. The capital has not been peaceful recently."
Li Wuji shook his head and said calmly.
He guessed that since the incident of Ning Guo's remnant had alarmed the empress and even the Five Elements Department had intervened, everyone in the court should know about it.
But he was still worried, so he planned to remind the Zhu family and his son through Xiao Hongxing not to go out to seek death.
"Understood, I will convey the exact words."
Xiao Hongxing paused and replied respectfully.
Although he still didn't understand the meaning of the words conveyed by Li Wuji, he already knew about the chaos in the capital last night and guessed what must have happened.
"Come, drink."
Li Wuji smiled and didn't say anything else. He picked up the wine glass and gestured with a smile.
Xiao Hongxing agreed, hesitantly picked up the glass of wine on the table in front of him that he had no luck with, slowly put it into his mouth, and nervously swallowed it.
The spicy wine poured down his throat and into his stomach, as if it was no different from the bad street wine he had drunk before.
...
Time passed very quickly, and a whole day passed in the blink of an eye. Apart from the group of people they arrested in the first place, Duyingwei and Wuxingsi found nothing.
When the news came back to Yunxiao Palace, the empress became furious and accused the two of them of not being able to reuse them.
Tomorrow is the New Year's Day, which is the best time for the remnants of Ning Kingdom to take action!
If something happens by then, not only will the country be in chaos, but it will also become the laughing stock of the world, and the royal family will no longer exist.
Therefore, the empress had no choice but to summon the Marquis of An to the palace to see him immediately.
After Li Wuji received the news, he quickly rushed to Yunxiao Palace with the Red Fish Guards.
When Li Wuji walked into the hall, he found that Luo Ping and Leng Yue were both kneeling on the ground, with ugly expressions on their faces, as if they had just been scolded by the empress.
"I have met His Majesty."
Li Wuji slowly stepped forward, bowed his hands, and said respectfully.
As he finished speaking, he accidentally burped.
At noon, he drank a few drinks greedily on the first floor of the world. When the Red Fish Guards went to deliver the order, he was still sleeping with his head covered, and the smell of alcohol had not dissipated from his body.
Although the crisis in the capital has not yet been resolved, he did not take it to heart as there were the Du Ying Guards and the Five Elements Division in front of them, and Tian Shu and Tian Yuan were behind them.
What's more, based on his understanding of Meng Jie and Xuan Wang Jin Pengyu, even if the remnants of the Ning Kingdom want to kill them, it is impossible to disappear silently. Even if Duyingwei and Wuxingsi are slow to go, Tianshu will take action. He has already arranged it.
Good everything.
For him, Zhu Wenqing is the most important.
The reason why he deliberately showed indifference to this matter was just his method. Although he could not make the empress completely trust him immediately, he could at least make the empress not be too afraid of him.
It is better to scold than to be suspicious.
Looking at Li Wuji who was slightly drunk, the empress' already expressionless face became even more gloomy.
"The Marquis of Li'an is so elegant!"
"The capital city is in turmoil, but you still have the heart to hang around in brothels and yokiya!"
The empress glared at Li Wuji and said coldly, anger gradually appearing in her brows.
"With the Capital Guards and the Five Elements Division here, who dares to cause trouble in the capital? Since I have no use for you, I naturally don't need to interfere, so as not to cause trouble to Your Majesty."
Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.
