Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 140 Xu Chen Shows His Loyalty

Then his eyes tightened as if he had thought of something, and he immediately turned around and packed up his things, and then he brought out the strongest horse from the backyard, and rode it out quickly.

Changan.

Wuhou Mansion.

"Master Hou, another carrier pigeon has flown here."

A boy came forward and handed the grid to Luo Bin.

"Wait a minute, this is our family's carrier pigeon." Dou Yinger snatched the pigeon, and then removed the letter paper on the pigeon's leg, her eyes were a bit complicated after looking at it.

"What's wrong?" Robin asked, frowning.

Dou Yinger pursed her lips when she heard the words, and then said: "Uncle Li said that all my father's old troops have returned to Chang'an, and they want to see you."

After hearing Dou Yinger's words, Luo Bin's complexion became a bit complicated.

After all, King Xia's old ministry had only one purpose, and he couldn't do it now.

"If you don't want to meet, I can help you refuse." Dou Yinger saw the hesitation in Luo Bin's eyes, and then said in a deep voice.

"It's okay, let's meet up, when." Luo Bin shook his head, then said.

After all, what Dou Yinger said before was right, if he really wanted to take revenge, it would not be enough to rely on his group of back Wei troops, if he could get the help of King Xia's former army, it would be the icing on the cake.

So now no matter what, he can't fight against those Xia King's old troops.

"Tonight, at our secret base, I will take you there." Dou Yinger said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Luo Bin responded, and then said, "I'll go out for a walk first."

"Yes." Dou Yinger nodded, not disturbing Luo Bin.

But Xu Chen frowned when he saw Luo Bin's mood was low, and then stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, what's bothering you?"

"You can talk to Xiaosheng, maybe Xiaosheng can help."

Luo Bin raised his eyes slightly when he heard the words, then shook his head and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Master Hou, didn't you say that you wanted Xiaosheng to be your military adviser and do things for you?" Xu Chen suddenly called Luo Bin, and then pursed his lips and said, "Xiaosheng has been eating and drinking for nothing in the Hou's mansion for many days. It's time to solve Lord Hou's worries and problems."

"But you really can't interfere in this matter, and I don't know how to tell you." Luo Bin said in a deep voice with a complicated expression.

Xu Chen frowned when he heard this, and then asked cautiously: "May I ask, does the Marquis want to rebel against the Tang Dynasty?"

"........."

After hearing Xu Chen's words, Luo Bin was startled immediately, and looked at Xu Chen in disbelief, "Why do you say that?"

"Master Hou, don't be nervous." Seeing this, Xu Chen immediately explained, "In fact, although Xiaosheng is a poor student, he also learned a lot about state affairs when he was preparing for the scientific examination."

"The Marquis has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and has a high prestige among the people, but His Majesty has never given you any reward. And yet you have just stayed away from the court at this time and become a businessman at the lowest level..."

"At that time, Xiaosheng just wondered if His Majesty was afraid of you and forced you to do this. However, it has been widely rumored among the people that His Majesty has favored Lord Hou, so Xiaosheng interrupted this idea."

"Besides, Xiaosheng and Lord Hou didn't know each other at that time, so they didn't have that much curiosity about this kind of thing."

When Xu Chen said this, he raised his eyes to look at Luo Bin, and said in a deep voice, "But after Xiaosheng lived in the Hou Mansion, he became more determined in his inner thoughts."

"........."

Luo Bin's face darkened when he heard the words, he frowned and asked, "Why?"

They are all servants of the Hou family who have been behind Weijun and accompanied him for many years, so he has always trusted them [-]%, no matter what decision he makes, has he ever thought about avoiding them.

After all, home should be a place where people can relax physically and mentally. It would be too tiring to guard against this and that if doing things at home.

So when Xu Chen said that suddenly, Luo Bin couldn't help but wonder if there was a mole in his residence.

Xu Chen saw what Luo Bin meant, and immediately denied it: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, no one in the Hou's mansion has any gossip."

After saying that, Xu Chen pursed his lips again and said, "Actually, when I first entered the Marquis Mansion and met Miss Ying'er, I thought she looked familiar."

"Then Xiaosheng thought about it for a long time, only to realize that she was somewhat similar to the female assassin who assassinated His Majesty on the Chang'an city wall before, and when he thought of Miss Ying'er's strange dress when he first met Miss Yinger, Xiaosheng became even more determined. inner thoughts."

"Miss Yinger is the assassin who assassinated His Majesty, but she has a very close relationship with Lord Hou..."

At this point, Xu Chen's face darkened a little, and then he continued: "Xiaosheng has always been puzzled by this, until one day he suddenly heard a young boy in the Hou Mansion calling Miss Ying'er Miss Dou, and everything changed. It’s all open.”

"Master Hou, if Xiaosheng's guess is correct, Miss Ying'er is the daughter of King Xia Dou Jiande, and she assassinated His Majesty just for revenge."

Luo Bin pursed his lips when he heard the words, and nodded slightly after a long time: "Yes."

"Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand you. You are very smart and careful."

Xu Chen smiled, then sighed and continued: "Your Majesty is suspicious by nature today, and this companion is like a tiger, and if he accidentally moves, he will touch the emperor's scales, such as the King Xia back then, and today's Marquis."

"Although Lord Hou has made great achievements, whether he has made great contributions to His Majesty or to the Tang Dynasty, but... his achievements are overwhelming. If Lord Hou did this for self-protection, Xiaosheng would understand."

After finishing speaking, Xu Chen paused again, then bowed to Luo Bin and said, "If Lord Marquis is willing, Xu Chen is also willing to follow Lord Marquis forever."

After all, he is just a poor scholar, and it has nothing to do with who is the emperor in Tang Dynasty.

What's more, Luo Bin is also knowledgeable and talented, and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. If he is the emperor, he will be hundreds of times better than Li Shimin.

Most importantly, at the darkest time in his life, anyone who extended a helping hand to him and treated him well without asking for anything in return was Luo Bin.

In this case, why wouldn't he do it?

Luo Bin frowned slightly when he heard the words, and then sighed softly: "Your analysis is very correct, but there is still one thing missing."

"My elder brother, Luo Shixin, was also framed to death by him."

Speaking of this, Luo Bin closed his eyes in pain, as if he didn't want to recall, "At the time of the Xuanwu Gate change, if I hadn't had [-] Wei troops by my side, I'm afraid I would have been killed by then." I will end up with King Xia and my elder brother."

"I can bear anything, but if he kills my brother, I will take revenge."

Luo Bin narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Xu Chen with a frown, as if observing.

After all, this is his biggest secret, and Xu Chen must not be familiar with him, and he still can't trust Xu Chen [-]%.

But since Xu Chen had already guessed [-]% or [-]% of it, there was no need for him to hide it anymore.
