Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The two entered the room, and Li Ji took off his cloak.

Hua Manman saw at a glance that his right arm was wrapped with a veil, and red blood seeped from the veil.

She hurriedly asked Master Feihe to show King Zhao.

Master Feihe removed the veil, revealing a wound about three inches long.

The surface of the wound was smooth and flat, and it was obvious at a glance that it was cut by a sharp weapon.

Master Feihe said: "It's just a flesh injury, the wound is not too deep, no bones are injured, so it's not a big problem."

Only then did Hua Manman breathe a sigh of relief.

Master Feihe quickly helped King Zhao treat the wound.

After the dressing was finished, Li Ji went to the inner room to change.

Hua Manman asked people to take the dinner to the kitchen to heat it up.

When Li Ji changed his clothes and came out, Hua Manman couldn't help asking.

"Why are you hurt?"

Li Ji didn't answer the question.

"There are no outsiders here, you don't have to use your honorific title."

Every time he heard her use an honorific title, he had the illusion that he was a generation above her for no reason.

Master Feihe pinched his beard and laughed.

It turned out that he was not an outsider.

Hua Manman didn't care much about such trivial matters. Since King Zhao said he didn't like honorific titles, she took advantage of the opportunity to change her title.

"Didn't you go to deal with the aftermath of the Taimiao? How did you get hurt?"

Li Ji didn't hide anything, and told the story of how he was injured.

Time rewinds to an hour ago.

The soldiers of the Huxiao Battalion were digging through the ruins, trying to find the missing tablets.

After a day of searching, they have almost found all the tablets, and now there are only the last two left.

As long as all the tablets are found, they can go home to celebrate the New Year with their relatives.

But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the last two missing tablets.

Seeing the sky is getting darker.

Li Ji missed the promise with Man Man, and wanted to go back for dinner early.

So he put down his figure, took off his cloak, rolled up his sleeves, and joined the team looking for the tablets himself.

Probably because of his luck, he found a memorial tablet not long after.

Next to it was a clean incense table that was specially cleaned up, and there were already a lot of tablets on it.

Li Ji wiped the tablet he just found and put it on the incense case.

Just when he was about to find the last memorial tablet, he accidentally met an ugly soldier.

At that moment, Li Ji heard the voice of the other party——

"Why does King Zhao look at me? Have I been discovered?"

Li Ji immediately became alert, there was something wrong with this person!

He strode towards the other party and said loudly.

"come here!"

Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, the soldier suddenly ran out!

Li Ji chased after him without thinking.

"stop!"

The soldier's lightness skill was extremely high, and he flew out of the Taimiao in a blink of an eye.

Li Ji's speed was not bad either, and he followed closely behind.

In fact, this is a very dangerous move.

Because it was already dark at that time, the situation of the grove was unknown.

He didn't know if there was an ambush in the woods, and he could easily be ambushed if he rushed in rashly.

But he didn't have time to think about it.

The two rushed into the woods behind the Taimiao one after the other.

There are neither stars nor moon in the gray night sky, only thick dark clouds.

The light in the woods was very bad, and it was difficult for Li Ji's eyes to catch the figure of the soldier, but he still caught up with him with his keen sense of hearing.

The two sides fought in the grove.

That soldier's lightness kungfu was very good, but his ability to fight head-on was obviously not as good as Li Ji's.

But in three or two rounds, he fell into a disadvantage.

Li Ji was about to take him down when his eyes met his again.

Li Ji read the other party's thoughts again——

"General, save me!"

Li Ji didn't have time to think about who the general was referring to, he only knew that the other party had accomplices.

It is likely that the accomplice is nearby.

Li Ji glanced around, wanting to see if there were people hiding around, and happened to catch a glimpse of a cold light.

He was startled and quickly dodged.

A hidden weapon flew past his arm.

Even with thick winter clothes, his arms were still cut.

The soldier took the opportunity to shake off Li Ji, rushed into the depths of the woods, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

When Chen Wangbei and Bian Ziming rushed over, only King Zhao was left in the grove.

Finding that King Zhao was injured, Chen Wangbei and Bian Ziming were very nervous.

Li Ji casually wrapped the wound with the handkerchief he carried with him, tied it in a knot, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Gather everyone together, I want to roll the roll."

He wants to know who the soldier was just now!

Soon everyone gathered in the open space in front of the Taimiao. Bian Ziming took a roster and began to name the places one by one.

The person whose name is called must stand up and answer.

After counting all the names on the roster, Bian Ziming found that only one person was absent.

That person's name is Xu Yi.

Li Ji had never heard of this name before, so he asked in a deep voice, "Where does he live? Is there anyone familiar with him?"

Bian Ziming asked around, and finally found that no one in the entire Huxiao camp was familiar with Xu Yi.

It's not that Xu Yi is an annoying person, but because he keeps a close distance from everyone, giving people a feeling that he looks easy to get along with, but in fact no one knows him well.

At this point, Bian Ziming also sensed that something was wrong.

This Xu Yi was obviously keeping a distance from others on purpose.

Bian Ziming was full of doubts: "Who is this Xu Yi?"

Li Ji didn't answer, but walked straight towards the incense table where the tablet was placed.

He had a guess in his mind that urgently needed to be verified.

Bian Ziming and Chen Wangbei didn't dare King Zhao to act alone anymore, so they hurriedly followed.

Li Ji stood beside the incense case.

It was near here that he met Xu Yi just now.

He counted the tablets on the incense case, and unexpectedly found that all the tablets were in place, not one of them was missing.

Li Ji turned to look at Bian Ziming.

"Have you found the last tablet?"

Bian Ziming looked confused: "No."

Just now they found that King Zhao was chasing people and ran out, and everyone stopped searching.

This also means that the last tablet came out of nowhere.

If it were an ordinary person, they would think it was haunted now.

But Li Ji doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.

He only believed his own eyes.

The last tablet must have been secretly placed on the incense case.

The person who can do such a thing is most likely the mysteriously missing Xu Yi.

Li Ji has a good memory.

He clearly remembered the order in which all the tablets were found.

Pick out the tablets that were found one by one, and the last remaining one was secretly placed on the incense case by Xu Yi.

Bian Ziming looked at the tablet that was left alone, and murmured involuntarily.

"Isn't this the tablet of the late emperor?"

Li Ji picked up the tablet of the late emperor, frowned and thought.

They searched for a day but failed to find the tablet.

At first Li Ji thought it was buried too deep, so it was hard to find.

However, the appearance of Xu Yi made Li Ji start to suspect that maybe the tablet of the first emperor was secretly hidden.

That's why they couldn't find it anyway.
