palace gate.

Because Li Wuji was injured, Li Jingyao made special arrangements to escort Li Wuji out of the palace.

However, when he reached the entrance of the palace, he was blocked by a middle-aged man with a strong build and a sword hanging from his waist.

"Are you the Marquis of Li'an?!"

The middle-aged man looked Li Wuji up and down and asked in a deep voice, with a fierce look between his brows and even a hint of uncontrollable murderous intent in his eyes.

"Okay, just bring it here. I can just walk the rest of the way back."

Li Wuji slowly stepped down, smiled at the few East Palace guards who sent him here, and said slowly and politely.

Several people bowed their hands to Li Wuji and the middle-aged man respectively, then turned around and left slowly with their arms raised.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Wuji, who didn't take him seriously at all, and never looked away.

"Is it Commander Lan Zhanlan?"

After seeing off the East Palace guards, Li Wuji turned to look at the middle-aged man, cupped his hands, and asked lightly.

"Your Excellency has good eyesight, but I don't know how good his skills are. I have long heard of the reputation of the Marquis on the Capital Road, but I have never learned about it."

The middle-aged man clasped his fists in return and said in a deep voice.

Li Wuji's guess was correct. This man was Cheng Zifeng's adopted son and the current commander-in-chief of Yan Yuwei, Lan Zhan.

"Commander Lan, do you think you want to compete with me?"

"But I'm injured on my body. Even if the commander-in-chief wins, I'm afraid he won't win with force, right?"

Li Wuji smiled and said jokingly.

"My adoptive father killed him?!"

Lan Zhan had a stern face, ignored Li Wuji's words, and asked coldly.

"I wonder who Commander Lan's adoptive father is?"

"Oh, the person the Commander-in-Chief is talking about must be Cheng Zifeng, right?"

Li Wuji looked at Lan Zhan pretending to be confused and asked curiously.

"Exactly!"

Lan Zhan gritted his teeth and said harshly.

"That means you are the commander-in-chief. No matter what your relationship was with Cheng Zifeng before, now that Cheng Zifeng is a traitor and the whole Cheng family has been massacred, how can you still call him a foster father?!"

"What if someone with intentions hears it and says that you are Cheng Zifeng's accomplice?!"

Li Wuji grimaced, looking at Lan Zhan with dissatisfaction and scolding.

"You threaten me?!"

Lan Zhan narrowed his eyes, took a step forward, and asked coldly, the murderous look in his eyes became even stronger!

"But why do I feel that I am the one who is leading the threat?"

Li Wuji spread his hands and said innocently, with a hint of contempt in his words.

He could see that Lan Zhan's cultivation level was at least around the ninth level. He was injured now, so if there was a fight, he might not be invincible.

However, he also knew that Lu Yuan must be hiding nearby at this moment, and would appear immediately if there was a fight.

After listening to Li Wuji's provocative words, Lan Zhan clenched his fists, grasped the sword at his waist, and took another step forward!

Following Lan Zhan's movements, the Yan Yu Guard soldiers behind him who were responsible for guarding the palace gate immediately took a step forward at the same time, and their faces were all pale!

"stop!"

At this critical moment, a voice suddenly sounded, and Tong Zhuo suddenly appeared, interrupting the two people who were at war with each other.

"Same commander?"

Li Wuji turned around to look, smiled and clasped his fists.

Lan Zhan frowned and also said hello with fists in his hands.

Although Tong Zhuo's military position was not higher than his, he was still the commander of the East Palace Guards and a popular figure around Tai Qing.

"Master Hou, why are you still here?"

Tongzhuo looked at Li Wuji and asked in confusion.

"Oh, I just met Commander Lan here by chance, so we had a little chat."

Li Wuji smiled and said without dragging Lan Zhan into the water.

"Just chatting?"

Tongzhuo smiled, looked at the two of them, and asked slowly.

"I am anyway."

Li Wuji curled his lips and smiled, folded his arms, and replied slowly, then turned to look at Lan Zhan, who had a gloomy expression.

"Commander Lan, Your Highness Taiqing asked me to tell you that some things have already happened and there is no way to fix them."

"There are some mistakes. Once you make a mistake, you can't go back. I hope Commander Lan knows what he is doing."

"I don't have any other intention with you. I'm here not only to convey a message, but also to see off a friend of His Highness Taiqing, so as not to cause any trouble."

Tongzhuo looked at Lan Zhan, clasped his fists, and said meaningfully.

After listening to Tong Zhuo's words, Lan Zhan bowed his hands and slowly stepped aside to make way out of the palace.

"Master Hou, please."

Tongzhuo raised his hand to signal and urged.

"It's time to work."

Li Wuji smiled and slowly walked out.

"Master Marquis, go slowly, please remember the face of the general, so as not to recognize who the general is when we meet next time!"

Lan Zhan stared at Li Wuji's back and said in a deep voice.

Li Wuji didn't say anything, just smiled, walked out of the palace gate, and got on the carriage not far away.

Lu Yuan didn't know when he had appeared beside the carriage.

As the carriage left, Tongzhuo hugged Lan Zhan and turned towards the East Palace.

Lan Zhan looked at the direction the carriage was leaving, and then at the direction of the East Palace. He squinted his eyes, couldn't help clenching his fists, and made a rattling sound.

After stopping for a long time, Lan Zhan snorted coldly and turned around to leave.

But the moment he turned around, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly couldn't help but froze, and then he suddenly looked up at the palace wall a few steps away!

I saw a clear footprint on the palace wall, which was eye-catching!

Without profound cultivation, it is impossible for anyone to do it!

Thinking of this, Lan Zhan couldn't help but think of the young man in civilian clothes driving a carriage and slowly leaving with Marquis Li'an!

Is this a threat?

Lan Zhan sneered, turned around and left silently.

…

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and Li Wuji's injuries have recovered by 60 to 70%, and he can now move around freely.

During this period, he also visited Jiuyou Realm several times to inspect Chun Sheng's training progress. By the way, he also used the art of disguise to modify Chun Sheng's appearance to avoid being recognized by interested people, especially Lan Zhan!

But strangely enough, apart from some quarrels with Lan Zhan at the palace gate that day, Lan Zhan has not caused trouble again.

On the other side, Xiao Hongxing's business has gradually improved. Although the Xiao family's big house will still secretly restrict him, since he took over half of the Xiao family's property, Xiao Hongxing is no longer the same Xiao Hongxing.

Coupled with Li Wuji's secret help, Xiao Hongxing has gradually become a rising star in the capital's business community, and his reputation is gradually rising.

Leaving Anhou Mansion.

Li Wuji was sitting in his study, thinking about new ways to make money. The business of Deyunxuan, the first floor in the world, Zibo Residence, was making money day by day. He had to think of other ways to expand his business scope.

After all, no one would dislike having too much money, not to mention that now that his power is growing, he needs money everywhere.

"Son."

At this moment, Di Long slowly appeared at the door of the study, bowed his hands, and looked a little solemn.

"What's the matter?"

Li Wuji looked up while writing and drawing on the desk, and asked casually.

"Sir, I just received the news from Tianshu that Yue Lingyao has left the customs and left the sect. He should arrive in the capital soon!"

Di Long frowned and answered slowly.

After hearing Di Long's answer, Li Wuji stopped what he was doing and couldn't help but frown.

The Lingyao Sword Sect has been silent for so long and is finally taking action.
