Li Junhe and his men rode back to Kyoto at full speed. After all, they were a little slow at the beginning because they had the money for repairs. Now there is no money for repairs, so they are walking especially fast!

Li Jun and his friends arrived in Kyoto when the city gates were about to close. Due to the seriousness of the matter, Xiao Tianming and Li Jun went to the palace overnight.

When the two arrived at the Imperial Study, His Majesty impatiently said to them, "What happened? Why are you two back?"

Upon hearing this, Li Junhe immediately said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, it is like this: just now when we left Shuiyue Village and were walking forward, a group of men in black robbed all the repair money."

The emperor must have been surprised and said to Li Junhe, "How could they kidnap all of them in broad daylight? How could such a thing happen? Have you found out who did it?"

Li Junhe said to His Majesty hesitantly, "This... this..."

The emperor said to Li Junhe angrily, "What is this?"

Li Junhe immediately knelt on the ground and said to His Majesty, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I haven't found out yet, but we have brought back the bodies of those people and handed them over to the Dali Temple. I hope the Dali Temple can find out."

The emperor thought for a moment and continued, "That's the only way, but what should Jiangnan Prefecture do now?"

Just when His Majesty was at a loss, Xiao Tianming said to His Majesty, "Father, this matter can be handed over to the Emperor's uncle!"

The emperor asked Xiao Tianming in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Tianming smiled and said to His Majesty, "Father, you don't know that my uncle is in Jiangnan Prefecture right now. As long as Father gives the order and asks my uncle to do it, then my uncle will definitely do it well."

The emperor was certain of Xiao Tianming's words, and asked Xiao Tianming in confusion, "How do you know that your uncle is in Jiangnan Prefecture?"

Xiao Tianming stammered, unable to speak, "This... this..."

The emperor said to Xiao Tianming impatiently, "Alright, you go first, General Li stays."

Xiao Tianming looked at Li Junhe helplessly. Li Junhe ignored Xiao Tianming and continued to stand in the front hall, waiting for the emperor to continue speaking!

The emperor looked at Xiao Tianming helplessly, and did not force him. He just looked at the memorial and waited for Xiao Tianming to leave.

Seeing His Majesty's look, Xiao Tianming knew that he had to leave, so he bowed to His Majesty and said, "Father, I will take my leave now."

The emperor didn't even raise his head, but just said "hmm" softly, and let Xiao Tianming leave.

After Xiao Tianming left, His Majesty looked up at Li Junhe and said to him, "What's going on?"

Li Junhe smiled and said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince stole the renovation money, and then today a group of men in black came and tried to rob it, and that's what happened."

The emperor said to Li Junhe angrily, "They are becoming more and more daring now!"

Li Junhe smiled and comforted the angry emperor, saying, "Okay, Your Majesty, don't be angry. I have prepared all the things and have taken the water route. If nothing goes wrong, it will arrive in five days."

His Majesty will definitely arrive in five days, and he still felt a little relieved. He sighed and said to Li Junhe, "Hey! I really don't know what they want to do?"

Li Junhe smiled and said to His Majesty, "What do you think?"

The emperor looked at the smiling Li Junhe helplessly and said, "Then you go down and arrange the rest. If nothing unexpected happens, they should soon realize that they have been fooled."

Li Junhe smiled and said to His Majesty, "Don't worry about this, Your Majesty!"

Just as His Majesty was about to say something, he heard someone say, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are here!"

Li Junhe looked at the person behind him in surprise. It was Xiao Hanqi. Xiao Hanqi saluted the emperor and said, "Brother."

Xiao Hanqi said to Li Junhe, "Master!"

Li Junhe looked at Xiao Hanqi in surprise and said, "Qi'er, you're back!"

Xiao Hanqi smiled and said to Li Junhe, "You're back, Master!"

Li Junhe asked happily, "Yue'er is back too!"

Xiao Hanqi smiled and said, "They are back, but Changzui and Limeng are not back!"

Li Junhe must have other things to keep them in Jiangnan. Li Junhe nodded and said to Xiao Hanqi, "It's okay. I'm relieved that they are in Jiangnan!"

Xiao Hanqi nodded and said to Li Junhe, "Master, they are about to know about the repair money, so we have to prepare now!"

Li Junhe nodded and said to Xiao Hanqi, "Okay! Then I will go and prepare!"

The two men saluted the emperor, who smiled and said to them, "Okay, the next thing is up to you, you two have to be careful!"

Li Junhe and Xiao Hanqi both bowed to His Majesty and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, everything is fine!"

After they finished talking, they went out directly.

As soon as he went out, Xiao Hanqi said to Li Junhe, "Master, I have taken Master's wife to Prince Han's Mansion, don't worry!"

Li Junhe nodded and said, "Okay, then I feel relieved."

Xiao Tianming had already left the palace and was preparing to return to the Third Prince's Mansion.

Ye Yi came to Xiao Tianming and said to him, "Your Highness, Duke Xu is waiting for you in the mansion!"

Xiao Tianming sneered and said, "Humph! He is here! It just so happens that I want to have a chat with him."

Ye Yi nodded and helped Xiao Tianming into the carriage.

The carriage soon arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion. As soon as Xiao Tianming arrived at the front hall, he saw Duke Xu pacing back and forth in the front hall.

Xiao Tianming said to Duke Xu with disdain, "Why did my uncle come to my house at this time? Shouldn't he be preparing things?"

When Duke Xu saw Xiao Tianming coming, he hurriedly asked him, "What's going on?"

Xiao Tianming sneered and said to Duke Xu, "What's going on?"

Duke Xu did not notice anything wrong with Xiao Tianming's expression, and said to him, "Of course it's about the repair money. Didn't we agree that I'll have someone bring the repair money back, and you'll be responsible for dealing with Li Junhe?"

Xiao Tianming smiled and said to Duke Xu, "Really? How come I don't remember it? And didn't you bring back the money for the repairs?"

Duke Xu said to Xiao Tianming in surprise, "You don't remember, how could you not remember? You said it was possible at the time! And the people I arranged came back and said that someone helped you, but they didn't succeed!"

Xiao Tianming pretended to be surprised and said, "How is it possible? Someone helped us. But you did take the repair money away, otherwise how could it disappear? I just came back from the palace with Li Junhe and reported this to my father!"

Duke Xu said to Xiao Tianming in disbelief, "How is that possible? Impossible! My people said they didn't succeed!"
