Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 71 Hou Junji and Changsun Wuji Reach an Agreement

midnight.

Changsun Wuji was practicing calligraphy in the study room, and because of anger, his handwriting was flying like a phoenix, and several sheets of paper were scratched.

"Sir, the general Hou Jun has gathered to ask for an audience." The young man leaned forward and said in a deep voice.

Changsun Wuji frowned slightly when he heard the words, "Hou Junji?"

"What is he doing here?"

After a long time, Changsun Wuji waved his hand again, "Forget it, let him in."

After a while, Hou Junji came in with two gift boxes.

"Your eldest grandson is safe and sound."

After saying that, Hou Junji smiled and offered the gift box, "This is the rose cake I just bought in Xifang. It tastes peculiar, so I brought it here for my eldest grandson to taste."

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji smiled, "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, why is General Hou here this time?"

Hou Junji's face froze when he heard the words, and then he didn't make any nonsense, and said directly: "I have also heard about the cousin of the eldest grandson, I have to say that this Luo Bin's behavior is really not authentic."

Changsun Wuji's expression changed, and he was obviously a little unhappy, "General Hou, are you here today to watch my jokes?"

"Of course not." Hou Junji immediately waved his hand, and then continued: "I just want to say that Luo Bin used to be very rude to me. Although we were both His Majesty's ministers, we are older than him after all. I didn't see any respect in his eyes."

"Even during the last normal meeting between me and him, I could hear his disdain from our civil and military officials, as if the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed without him."

Having said this, Hou Junji sighed deeply again, "When I heard this, I became anxious immediately, and started arguing with this Luo Bin. Who would have thought that this villain would file a complaint first, and His Majesty believed Luo Bin without knowing the situation. The slander, actually demoted me and punished me, really..."

Changsun Wuji looked a little better after hearing this, and frowned: "Is this really true?"

"is not that right!"

Hou Junji nodded, and then said: "It's fine for him to treat me like this, but I never thought that he would be so unreasonable to my eldest grandson. You are the empress's elder brother, Your Majesty's uncle, How dare this Luo Bin..."

Changsun Wuji's teeth itch when he heard this, "Let him keep jumping, I want to see how long he can keep jumping."

"Lord Changsun, do I think that with such a arrogant mind as Luo Bin, he will really surrender to Your Majesty?"

Hou Junji narrowed his eyes, his hint was obvious, "Tell me, should we share the worries for His Majesty, directly..."

After saying that, Hou Junji made a gesture of touching his neck to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji's eyes darkened when he saw this, and then he said: "Luo Bin is too cautious in his actions, and he was assassinated before. It may be difficult for us to share the worries for His Majesty now. At this time, we need to think long-term."

Hou Junji nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, then got up and said to Changsun Wuji: "What Master Changsun said is very true, then the old man will go back to the mansion and wait for news from Master Changsun. No matter what the difficulty is, my lord grandson just say it’s okay.”

Changsun Wuji nodded, and then watched Hou Junji leave.

After the person left, Changsun Wuji's eyes were complicated, "This old fox..."

The servant on the side also frowned, "Master, since General Hou wants to kill...why don't he act on his own, but with you instead?"

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly when he heard the words, "Because this idiot can't figure out what His Majesty is thinking, and he is afraid that His Majesty will offend him after the incident happens. If we are together with this old man, we will be much safer."

"After all, I am the Queen's biological brother. As long as the Queen remains the Queen, Your Majesty will not touch me easily."

Hearing this, the crease between the boy's brows deepened, "Since the master knows everything, why do you still agree to him?"

Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows and smiled, his eyes flashed with surprise.

"It's just picking up an obedient dog for nothing, why not do it?"

Since Hou Junji wanted something from him, he would definitely obey him. If the assassination was successful, Hou Junji would always obey him. If he failed or things changed, he would immediately throw the blame on Hou Junji.

The boy also smiled when he heard the words, "Master is smart."

…………

The next day.

Luo Bin went to the training ground again when he had nothing to do. Recently, his eyelids are always twitching. The war with the Turks is imminent, and he has to pay attention to this military training.

Tang Jian and Li Xuangong were also overjoyed when they saw Luo Bin, and immediately stepped forward, "Master Hou, why do you come here when you have time?"

Luo Bin glanced at the soldiers practicing over there, smiled and said, "Recently, I've always felt a little flustered, and my dreams are full of iron horses and glaciers. After seeing these soldiers, I feel more at ease."

Li Xuangong also nodded deeply when he heard the words, "Yes, only here, looking at them, can I feel more at ease."

Luo Bin pursed your lips, then clapped your hands and stepped forward, "Come on, just like last time, two teams, start practicing, and let Ben Hou see if you have made any progress."

A group of soldiers immediately became motivated when they heard the words, and immediately divided themselves into teams, and then began to compete.

Different from last time, due to the increase in strength of both sides, each team played for a long time this time. It was not until the winner was determined that Luo Bin couldn't help but applaud, with a face full of relief.

"I didn't expect you to have made such a huge improvement in just a few months."

Luo Bin's eyes flickered, "You guys now are completely different from when I first met."

Having said this, Luo Bin turned to Tang Jian and Li Xuangong and said, "It is also thanks to the two generals that they can make such great progress."

Tang Jian shook his head immediately when he heard the words, "Oh my lord, we dare not take credit for it."

"They wouldn't be able to make such a change without Master Hou's method."

The soldiers over there were also a little excited when they heard the words. After all, many of them had gone to Luo Bin's mansion for a meal because they met Luo Bin's request, and they were less restrained when facing Luo Bin.

"Master Hou, you said that we have made great progress, but I don't know how it compares with your Beiwei army now?"

After one person made the first move, several others immediately followed suit.

"That's right, Lord Hou, we were tortured by the back of the Wei army last time. When will we have a chance to compete again?"

"That's right, we may not lose this time!"

Several people were talking to each other, and Luo Bin smiled when he saw this, "Everyone, please be quiet."

"As I said last time, your enemy is the Turkic barbarians, not my Beiwei army, and it is they you need to defeat, not my Beiwei army."

"They are strong, you should be proud, and you should feel more secure because you have such excellent teammates on the battlefield."
