The first floor in the world.

Two days later.

"Sir, there is news from Tianyuan that Jiang Ziqing was seriously injured in the battle at Jinling City and escaped, and has now returned to the imperial capital of the Qian Kingdom!"

Cao Zian came to Li Wuji's room with an excited face and said excitedly.

Upon hearing the news, Li Wuji, who was making tea, couldn't help but pause in his movements, and then showed a knowing smile.

"very good."

"Inform him and find a way to inform the Qianguo Dynasty of the truth about the mission's destruction. We will focus on recuperating for the time being and stop all contact with Tianyuan."

Li Wuji nodded with satisfaction and said thoughtfully.

"If we do this, will the Qianguo Dynasty directly go to war with Liguo?"

Cao Zian hesitated for a moment and asked worriedly.

Although everyone in Tianyuan hates the empress and the royal family, in the final analysis, they were all Pang Xun's people, and especially Li country's people. Even if they want to take revenge, they don't want it to be at the expense of the entire Li country.

"Don't worry, if the two countries wanted to fight, they would have started fighting long ago."

"Furthermore, the empress knew that the mission's purpose in Beijing was to test our government's attitude, and the Qian Kingdom Dynasty also knew that the one who massacred the mission must be the Li Kingdom Court. There was no need for any evidence at all. This matter was just concealed from the beginning. It's just a layer of window paper that can be seen through, and it will break when you poke it."

"My purpose is just to add fuel to the fire and make the Qian Dynasty's grudge against the empress deeper."

Li Wuji smiled and said meaningfully.

The allusion of the snipe and the clam quarreling and the fisherman gaining a profit has been the best choice for wise men for thousands of years.

After listening to Li Wuji's words, Cao Zian seemed to gradually understand and respectfully agreed.

"Sir, something happened!"

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, the voice was urgent.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zian quickly walked towards the door.

Li Wuji raised his eyebrows, picked up the teacup and took a slow sip.

As the door opened, a waiter stood at the door and kept looking inside, looking panicked.

Vegas guys!

"Master Cao..."

"Sir, someone is making trouble in the gambling house, and the capital guards have been alerted!"

The waiter saluted Cao Zian, and then spoke respectfully to Li Wuji, who was sitting in front of the window drinking tea.

"Where did the other party come from?!"

Cao Zian turned his head and glanced at Li Wuji, and asked in a deep voice.

"He is a young man who claims to be the son of the Minister of War!"

The guy replied without thinking.

Hearing the waiter's answer, Li Wuji narrowed his eyes and remembered what happened on the first floor of the world that day, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Sir, what should I do?"

"How about I go take a look first and report any news back to the young master in time?"

Cao Zian hesitated and said.

"No need, I'll go with you."

Li Wuji smiled, put down his tea cup, stood up and walked out.

Soon, a few people left the first floor of the world and headed straight to Las Vegas.

...

Las Vegas.

When Li Wuji arrived at the gambling house in a carriage, he found that it was noisy inside and there were many people gathered outside the door to join in the fun.

Seeing Li Wuji appear, several waiters guarding the door hurriedly separated the crowd, cleared a path, and respectfully welcomed Li Wuji's arrival.

"Marquis Liyang is here..."

"Now there's something good to watch..."

Some of the onlookers had already recognized Li Wuji and were talking quietly, looking like they were watching a show.

"Sir, look."

As Li Wuji slowly got off the carriage, Cao Zian, who was waiting aside, winked into the distance and whispered a reminder.

Turning his head in the direction indicated by Cao Zian, Li Wuji couldn't help but snorted, and a disdainful sneer flashed across his lips.

At the intersection of the street corners in the distance, a group of officers and soldiers from the Imperial Guard stood in neat formation, neither retreating nor advancing, as if they were watching a play.

After what happened last time on the First Floor in the World, Du Yingwei also learned a lot, or to be precise, Luo Ping learned a lot.

Li Wuji ignored it, walked through the crowd, and walked slowly towards the gambling house.

In the lobby on the first floor, a young man with seven or eight followers was dancing and cursing, pointing and speaking sharply at the gambling shop owner Ji Wushuang in front of him.

It is Lu Qingshu, the son of the Minister of War!

Ji Wushuang has been running Ningxiang Pavilion for many years, and is very clear about the principle of making money through harmony. In addition, Lu Qingshu's special status, so he allowed Lu Qingshu to scold him without refuting a word. As time went by, his face turned red from being scolded.

Several of the clerks were filled with indignation and could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts. If Ji Wushuang hadn't stopped them, they might have already had a conflict with Lu Qingshu.

"This matter is not over today! The dignified Marquis Liyang actually secretly instigated you to cheat the gamblers out of their money. Why is he so shameless?!"

"Let him come out and kowtow to me to admit his mistake! Otherwise, he will go to the Yamen. I'll see how he ends up! I have already sent people to report to the official, and the people from the Duying Guard will be here soon!"

Lu Qingshu pointed at Ji Wushuang and said angrily.

After listening to his instigation, the surrounding gamblers who were watching the excitement were also stimulated. They all felt that the money they lost was a bit unfair, and began to talk about it.

"Did you hear that? Let him come out immediately!"

Seeing that Ji Wushuang didn't say a word for a long time, Lu Qingshu became more confident and spoke louder.

"Son."

At this moment, Ji Wushuang glanced up inadvertently, and then hurriedly bowed respectfully behind Lu Qingshu.

The surrounding gamblers suddenly became quiet and stopped talking.

Lu Qingshu was stunned for a moment, hesitantly turned his head and looked behind him, and then he saw Li Wuji standing behind him at some point. He couldn't help but change his expression and took a step back.

"Your Excellency is so majestic!"

Li Wuji looked at Lu Qingshu, who was a little surprised, and said calmly, without any expression on his face.

"You came just in time! I was in a good mood and wanted to come to your gambling house to have some fun, but that croupier tricked me out of my money in public!"

"This young master has already reported to the official, you can take care of it yourself!"

Lu Qingshu coughed, puffed up his chest, and said loudly.

The crowd of onlookers all looked at Li Wuji, wanting to see how Li Wuji would resolve the matter.

"I understand. What you mean is that you want me to return all the money you lost just now, and then I have to kowtow to you to apologize, so that you are willing to give up."

"Yeah?"

Li Wuji looked at Lu Qingshu and asked slowly.

"That's right!"

“But it’s not a full refund, but a tenfold refund!”

Lu Qingshu puffed out his chest and said loudly, with a bossy face.

"You still reported it to the police?"

Li Wuji continued to ask.

"That's right!"

Lu Qingshu sneered and replied loudly.

"The people from Dou Yingwei are here, but they don't even dare to approach the gambling den. Did you know that?"

Li Wuji pointed in the direction outside the door and asked calmly.

When Lu Qingshu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and immediately whispered to a follower beside him to go out and check.

"Master, we are really here, but... they are all standing at the corner of the street, as if they are here to watch the fun."

After reading it, the entourage quickly returned and whispered into Lu Qingshu's ear.

After hearing what his entourage said, Lu Qingshu couldn't help but frown, with a look of confusion on his face.

But Li Wuji no longer paid attention to him, turned around and hugged his fists at the onlookers.

"Everyone, this young master and I have some personal grudges that need to be dealt with. Please leave first. The gambling shop is closed today."

"Anyone who lost money can get a double refund, okay?"

Li Wuji clasped his fists, looked around, and said loudly.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

When the gamblers present heard this, they immediately showed joy and thanked him one after another.

"Wushuang!"

Li Wuji smiled, turned around and called Ji Wushuang.

Ji Wushuang agreed and immediately led people to refund the money to the gamblers who lost their money.

After a while, apart from Li Wuji's people, only Lu Qingshu and seven or eight nervous followers were left in the entire gambling house.

Lu Qingshu glanced at Li Wuji, then at the dozens of glaring gambling shop clerks, swallowed, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
