Las Vegas.

Third floor.

Li Wuji was sitting in front of the window, brewing Kung Fu tea slowly and leisurely.

Due to the empress's stay-at-home order, he can only stay in the gambling house unless necessary and cannot go anywhere.

Although he originally opened a gambling house in the capital, he would still go back to Jiuyou Realm to spend the night every night. After all, Jiuyou Realm was already under his control, and it was relatively safer to live there.

However, after hearing rumors on the street this morning about what happened in Xuanhua Hall last night, he was not in such a depressed mood.

He had already guessed that this was news deliberately spread by someone, otherwise what happened in the Xuanhua Palace would not have spread so quickly.

Apart from Li Jingyao herself, the only person who dared to spread this matter seemed to be that woman.

It seemed that he had successfully attracted the woman's attention.

No matter what the reason for her doing this, this is an excellent opportunity for Li Wuji.

What he has to do now is to add fuel to the fire to make his next plan smoother!

At this moment, Cao Zian knocked on the door and walked in.

"Sir, I just received news that someone from the Qianguo mission quietly left the Huitong Hall and went to Yeyu Palace. His behavior was very suspicious. They were all dressed up in disguise. In order not to alert the snake, our people did not follow him."

"A total of two people stayed in Yeyu Palace for almost two hours before leaving. And there is something very interesting. Just after these two people left, Tu Jiu also left Yeyu Palace in a sneaky way. , and also in disguise!”

Cao Zian closed the door, quickly came to Li Wuji, and whispered.

"So, what the Qianguo mission is planning is related to Tu Jiu?"

Li Wuji's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but smile.

"It's very possible, but I can't confirm it yet. However, my subordinates have ordered people to keep an eye on those two people and Tu Jiu secretly, and they will report as soon as there is any news."

"In addition, Di Long sent back news and discovered that Luo Ping sent many of his subordinates to track down Tu Jiu's whereabouts throughout the capital, and they were not acting as capital guards."

Cao Zian hesitated and said seriously.

"It seems that the capital guards are also involved. This matter is getting more and more interesting."

After listening to this, Li Wuji's smile became more obvious.

Originally, he suspected that Tu Jiu was related to the murder of the Xiao family's son in the gambling house last night, and now he discovered that Tu Jiu might also have a close relationship with the Qianguo mission, which was an unexpected gain for him.

If this is really the case, he just used these two things to completely eradicate Tu Jiu and take over the entire underground world of the capital!

As for Luo Ping, Li Wuji is still not sure which of the two incidents he is related to, but this is also an opportunity for him!

"Keep watching, inform Di Long, and Luo Ping don't let up either!"

Li Wuji thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

Cao Zian nodded heavily.

At this moment, the knock on the door rang again, and Lu Yuan appeared at the door.

"Sir, the Queen is here."

After receiving Li Wuji's response, Lu Yuan pushed the door open a crack and reminded him in a low voice.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, a flash of surprise flashed across Li Wuji's eyebrows, and he stood up and walked out.

"You go ahead, don't alert the enemy."

As Li Wuji walked out, he gave Cao Zian a warning.

Cao Zian agreed and left quickly.

When Li Wuji walked out of the room and came to the corridor, he found that Li Jingyao had taken Tong Zhuo to the third floor and passed by Cao Zian.

"What kind of wind brings His Highness here?"

Li Wuji bowed his hands and said hello with a smile.

"Such a big thing happened here last night. I have to come over and have a look. How about it? The Doying Guards and the Five Elements Division won't make it difficult for you anymore, right?"

Li Jingyao said as she walked past Li Wuji and walked straight into Li Wuji's room.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. They have not been here since last night. I have to thank Your Highness and Your Majesty for your blessing."

As Li Wuji spoke, he followed slowly, guessing Li Jingyao's purpose of coming.

Immediately, the two entered the room and sat in front of the window.

Tongzhuo closed the door and stood silently behind Li Jingyao.

Li Wuji smiled and slowly poured a cup of freshly brewed hot tea for Li Jingyao.

"I didn't expect that the young master is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he is also well versed in tea ceremony."

Li Jingyao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said approvingly, with a hint of uncontrollable appreciation in her eyes.

"Your Highness has given you too much praise. He only knows a little bit about it and cannot be put on the stage."

Li Wuji said with a smile.

"It's really rare to have great talent but not be proud of it. It's a pity that someone like you doesn't become an official but hides in the market."

Li Jingyao sighed and said with emotion.

"If His Highness continues to boast like this, I will really start to feel proud."

Li Wuji waved his hand sheepishly and said with a smile.

After listening to Li Wuji's words, Li Jingyao couldn't help laughing.

"By the way, His Majesty is giving you rewards and at the same time confining you. You won't complain about this, right? After all, you have just made great contributions to the imperial court."

Li Jingyao paused and asked seriously.

"How dare I? How could I not understand His Majesty's deep meaning? It seems that I am being grounded, but in fact I am protecting you. It's too late to be grateful. How can I feel resentful?"

Li Wuji shook his head and said seriously.

"As expected of you, just understand."

Li Jingyao smiled with satisfaction and said with approval.

Li Wuji could clearly feel that since the Xuanhua Palace incident, the distance between him and Li Jingyao had become a little closer.

Next, at Li Jingyao's request, the two played backgammon in the room. They forgot about time. It was almost sunset, but Li Jingyao still couldn't bear to leave.

Just when Li Wuji was about to give out the eviction order, Cao Zian finally rushed back again and knocked on the door.

"Your Highness, I will go out and take a look later."

"It's getting late. How about Your Highness staying here and having dinner before returning to the palace?"

Li Wuji finally found an opportunity, stood up, and asked with a smile.

"That's fine, then I'm bothering you."

Li Jingyao agreed without thinking, which was exactly what he wanted.

"I'll make arrangements right now."

As Li Wuji spoke, he turned around and walked out.

In the corridor.

"Sir, after the two people left Ye Yu Palace, they never returned to the Huitong Hall. Instead, they entered a private house in the south of the city. They never came out again. The subordinates were worried that something was fishy, ​​so they came back to report it and asked the master to make a decision. "

Cao Zian lowered his voice and spoke slowly.

"Where's Tu Jiu?"

Li Wuji frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.

"Lost..."

"It's a subordinate who neglected his duty."

When Cao Zian heard this, he said with a look of remorse.

"Forget it, first tell your people to keep an eye on those two people and don't let them leave. You stay here and are on standby at any time."

Li Wuji squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and after giving a warning, turned around and returned to the room. He already had an idea in his mind.

To chase the thief and seize the stolen goods, it's time to take action.

Cao Zian nodded, quickly went downstairs, and immediately spread the news.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat dinner."

After Li Wuji returned to the room, he sighed, looked at Li Jingyao helplessly and said.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Li Jingyao was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, a little disappointment flashing between her brows.

"I have something to report to His Highness."
