capital.

At the city gate.

Li Jingyao stood beside the carriage, looking at the motorcade slowly stopping in front, with a smile of relief on her face, looking for Li Wuji's figure.

Luo Ping accompanied him respectfully, being submissive and not daring to show any excitement about Li Wuji's triumphant return.

"Leng Yue, who is of humble rank, meets His Highness Taiqing!"

Leng Yue dismounted first, walked quickly to Li Jingyao, bowed respectfully, and said loudly.

"Okay, okay."

"Lord Leng, it's been a hard journey."

Li Jingyao said, but her eyes kept looking behind Leng Yue, looking for Li Wuji.

Seeing Li Jingyao's neglect towards her, Leng Yue frowned, stood up slowly, and stepped aside.

Soon, Li Wuji also got off the carriage and quickly came closer.

"I have met His Highness Taiqing!"

After arriving in front of Li Jingyao, Li Wuji smiled and bowed his hands. Then he felt a cold gaze from the side looking at him. After taking a glance, he realized that it was Leng Yue.

“No gifts, no gifts!”

"I heard that you were assassinated in the border town. Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Li Jingyao hurriedly stepped forward, held Li Wuji's arm, looked up and down carefully, and asked with concern on her face.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's nothing serious."

Li Wuji smiled and shook his head.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

"You don't know how anxious I was when I heard that you were assassinated. I wanted to take people to the Windy City myself."

Li Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a serious face, her love for him was beyond words.

"I have a tough life, it's not that easy to die."

Li Wuji said with a smile.

"You are always so confident. If you can say this, it means it's really okay."

"This trip to the north is thanks to the Young Master's efforts to turn the tide. If it had been someone else, it might not have been able to be solved so properly. After hearing about it, His Majesty also praised you greatly and was very pleased."

"After I return to the palace, I will definitely go to His Majesty in person to ask for your merits!"

Li Jingyao was smiling and full of praise for Li Wuji.

Standing aside, Leng Yue's face kept changing, turning blue and red, and she had long hated Li Wuji to the extreme in her heart.

I also went through a lot of hardships and worked hard, but I didn't get a word of praise from Li Jingyao, just a word of praise for your hard work!

It would be difficult for anyone to accept this matter.

"I have said it a long time ago that serving the imperial court is absolutely obligatory! I have never thought about any reward for my merits, I just want to be worthy of my heart."

Li Wuji shook his head and said seriously.

"Well said!"

"After running around for a few days, go back home and rest quickly. His Majesty will summon you to the palace tomorrow. Then follow me to the East Palace, and I will take care of you!"

Li Jingyao patted Li Wuji's hand and said happily.

"yes."

Li Wuji smiled, bowed his hands, and helped Li Jingyao onto the carriage.

"Master Hou, it's been a hard journey. I will personally take you back to your home."

Seeing Li Jingyao finally leaving, Luo Ping hurriedly showed a flattering smile to Li Wuji and said respectfully.

"How dare you trouble Commander Luo so much?"

Li Wuji said with a smile.

"It should be true. The Marquis has made great contributions in helping to quell the chaos in the north. After all, things are different now. I will have to rely on the Marquis a lot in the future."

Luo Ping cupped his hands and said seriously, grinning almost behind his ears.

"I'm humble enough to take the first step!"

Leng Yue, who had been silent for a long time, casually bowed her hand to Li Wuji, turned around and left with her subordinates without looking back. The dissatisfaction on her face could not be concealed at all.

"This Lord Leng still has such a bad temper. Mr. Hou, please don't get along with her."

Luo Ping shook his head, looked at Leng Yue who left directly, and said with a smile.

Li Wuji said nothing. He saw Pang Xiaoxiao and Cao Zian waiting not far away and walked over with a smile.

Lu Yuan also led the carriage and followed slowly, as did Su Wanqing, who had followed Li Wuji all the way back to the capital.

Immediately afterwards, Li Wuji discovered that Xiao Hongxing and Zhu Hexuan were not far away, with a faint smile on his lips.

When Xiao Hongxing and Zhu Hexuan noticed that Li Wuji was looking at them, they hurriedly bowed their hands and then turned and left.

There were too many people greeted at the city gate today, and their identities were not simple. It was difficult for them to come up and say hello. They were relieved to see that Li Wuji had returned safely.

Just as Li Wuji walked up to Pang Xiaoxiao, he accidentally saw Ling Yuyan standing far away by a carriage at the corner of the street. He couldn't help but frown, feeling longing for him in his heart. He just wanted to walk away quickly, but

He took a step out and took a step back.

"Senior brother, you are finally back."

At this time, Pang Xiaoxiao also came closer, his face full of joy.

"Son."

Cao Zian also bowed and saluted.

"You're back. Why are you here too? Why do you need to make such a big fuss?"

Li Wuji withdrew his gaze, looked at Pang Xiaoxiao and Cao Zian, and said with a smile.

"Senior brother, it's been almost a month since you left. Don't you know... how much we all miss you? How could we not come?"

"I just heard that senior brother was assassinated in the border town? Are you okay?"

Pang Xiaoxiao's face was full of smiles, and she almost said that she was bald, but she quickly changed her words with a red face.

Cao Zian did not tell Pang Xiaoxiao about the border town, fearing that she would worry.

"It's okay, just some petty thieves."

"Nothing happened in the capital these days, right?"

Li Wuji waved his hands and said.

"No, everything is going according to plan, and business is better than before."

"We have further cooperated with Mr. Xiao. In addition to the capital, many pharmacies and medical clinics have been opened in other cities and counties, and they have begun to see revenue."

Pang Xiaoxiao said proudly, looking like he was begging for praise.

"Yes, my junior sister is really capable."

Li Wuji patted Pang Xiaoxiao's head with satisfaction and said with appreciation.

"Huh? Who is this?"

Pang Xiaoxiao showed a satisfied smile and then noticed Su Wanqing standing next to Lu Yuan and asked hesitantly.

"Oh, the new guard."

Li Wuji turned his head and looked at it, and said casually.

"Hello, little shopkeeper."

Su Wanqing hugged her fists and said hello with a smile.

"oh."

Pang Xiaoxiao responded and bowed slightly to return the salute, as if he didn't like the title of shopkeeper Xiaoxiao.

Moreover, there was obviously some resistance to Su Wanqing appearing next to Li Wuji.

"Okay, I'm hungry. Go home quickly and let the chef prepare a table of delicious food!"

Li Wuji waved, turned around and got into the carriage, and said with a smile.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and hurriedly got into the car and returned to Li'an Hou Mansion together.

Two carriages drove slowly on the street, passing Princess Yong'an's carriage without stopping.

Li Wuji didn't get out of the car, and he didn't even stick his head out to take a look at Ling Yuyan.

"What does he mean?!"

"I clearly saw you, Princess, just now!"
