513 The Return

A glint of haze flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes, and he said, "You really want to fight against this old man?"

"Zhao Guogong was joking, it's just that the moves are different, so how can we say no to it?" Hou Junji said with a light smile.

Snapped!

"General! You lost."

Hou Junji said flatly: "It's just a game of chess, if you lose, you will always win."

"Life is like chess. If you lose in chess, you can start over. If you lose in life, there is no chance to start over. Duke Lu should be careful." Changsun Wuji said with a pun.

Hou Junji said: "There is a road that has not been taken, who knows which road is right? Maybe the road chosen by Mr. Zhao is the one that doesn't work?"

Changsun Wuji said coldly: "Since you think so, why did you agree to this old man? Is it easy for you to be an old man?"

"Don't be angry, Mr. Zhao Guo. After careful consideration, the old man thought about it. King Jin is too young. When King Jin becomes an adult, the rest of the princes will be established. How can King Jin compete with the rest of the princes? One bad thing about this kind of thing is the danger of extermination. This old man has to think about this big family, right?"

Although Changsun Wuji had no official position, no one dared to underestimate his influence, and Hou Junji didn't want to offend Changsun Wuji to death.

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and now those princes are fighting more fiercely, and the throne is farther away from them. When the time comes, King Jin will come of age, and the timing is just right. The Hou family has a weak foundation, so don't learn from the aristocratic family's way of diversifying investments." Changsun Wuji mocked road.

The anger in Hou Junji's eyes flashed away. The Hou family was born in the Hou family of Shanggu, and it was also a family. Now that the family is in decline, it is no longer a family.

"It's because of the small family and small family that we have to be cautious." Hou Junji said.

"Are you determined to support King Wei?" Changsun Wuji said with a gloomy expression.

Although he has unlimited scenery, he has no real power.

If you want to support Li Zhi to the top, you must have power, the most important thing is military power.

Even though Hou Junji is left out in the cold, he still has a lot of prestige in the army.

He also tried to test the generals of the process, but those people were old and cunning, and they had no effect at all. So far, they have only won over some small schools.

It will undoubtedly be a great help to get the support of Hou Junji.

"Didn't Duke Zhao just say that King Jin is still young? Now that I support King Wei, it doesn't affect supporting King Jin." Hou Junji laughed.

"Lu Guogong is also a person who has experienced what happened back then. He should know that it is better not to be double-faced." Changsun Wuji sneered.

"Mr. Zhao is joking. Although I have selfish motives in supporting the prince, I am still loyal to His Majesty." Hou Junji said.

Changsun Wuji sneered: "There is already a prince in the Tang Dynasty. Since you are loyal to His Majesty, why don't you support the prince?"

"Hehe, that's not the case with Mr. Zhao Guo. What right do you have to laugh at this old man?" Hou Junji countered.

"Then I wish Duke Lu's wishes come true, and the future is bright."

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he left in a huff.

Hou Junji looked at the chessboard and sneered.

How could he, Hou Junji, be willing to be someone else's pawn.

"Is everything packed?" Lin Xuan asked.

"Back to Lord Hou, it's already packed." Qiu Fu said.

"Da Liu, I will leave this place to you. I will leave 50 people for you. After we leave, you can move to the house you bought." Lin Xuan said.

"Yes, I will send you off to Lord Hou." Liu Da said.

More than [-] people and horses, together with several carts of cargo, headed for the harbor in a mighty manner.

When the soldiers loaded the goods onto the ship, Lin Xuan looked at Liu Da and said, "I'll leave it to you here, go back."

"I wish Lord Hou all the best."

Liu Da bowed and finished speaking, but he didn't intend to go back.

Lin Xuan didn't persuade, turned around and boarded the boat.

"Master Hou, wait a moment."

At this moment, a group of people came from a distance.

Lin Xuan turned around, and saw a group of more than a dozen people, guarding a carriage, and several carts of goods driving over.

The carriage approached and stopped, and Lu Yuxuan got out of the carriage.

"Miss Lu, are you here to see me off?" Lin Xuan smiled.

Lu Yu proclaimed a blessing, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, returning from Lingnan, the boat and the car are exhausting, and the little girl is weak. I want to go back together on Master Hou's boat. I don't know if it is possible."

"It's not that I don't want to take Miss Lu with me. It's just that my line of more than 300 people, including horses and goods, is almost full. You have a few carts of goods, plus so many people, there is really no way to take it with you." Lin Xuan refused. .

Lu Yuxuan also said yesterday that in order not to arouse suspicion from others, he deliberately came to Lingnan in advance.

Now that he wanted to go back on his boat with him so openly, Lin Xuan really didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Since he didn't know what Lu Yuxuan was paying attention to, Lin Xuan naturally didn't want to take her with him.

"Master Hou, I only need to bring a maid and a guard, and the others will take the goods by land."

Lu Yuxuan didn't seem to understand the meaning of rejection in Lin Xuan's words, so he gave instructions to the guards directly after speaking.

The guards saluted and left with the carriage and goods.

Lu Yuxuan had only one guard and one maid left beside him.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Lord Hou." Lu Yuxuan said with a smile.

"Miss Lu, please come inside."

That's all, what else can he say.

Lin Xuan brought Lu Yuxuan onto the boat and said to Qiu Fu, "Arrange a room for Miss Lu."

"Yes! Miss Lu, this way please." Qiu Fu said.

"Master Hou, I'll go there first, and I'll come to see Lord Hou later." Lu Yuxuan bowed and followed Qiu Fu away.

"Father, Gu Liqing is dead." Cui Yi said.

Cui Lingdao focused his eyes and said, "I've been out of contact for so long, I should have thought about it earlier, Feng An killed it?"

Although he seemed to be asking, his tone was very certain.

"Father is right, it was that old man Feng An who did it." Cui Yi said: "After that old man killed Gu Liqing, he kept concealing the news until now."

After Feng An killed Gu Liqing, although he deliberately disclosed it to Li Shimin, he kept holding back the news and kept the Cui family from knowing.

He was worried that the Cui family would send someone to assassinate Lin Xuan with the news in advance. With Feng Zhijian's assassination ahead, if Lin Xuan died in Lingnan, the Feng family would not be able to explain it clearly.

Feng An could only try his best to block the news, and then cooperate with Lin Xuan to let him go to Lingnan as soon as possible.

The Cui family couldn't get in touch with Gu Liqing, and they kept looking for Gu Liqing's news, until now.

"The old man underestimated Feng An. Feng An has been holding back all this time, but he never expected to be so courageous." Cui Lingdao said.

"Father, Feng An didn't take our Cui family seriously by doing this. A barbarian blood dared to do this. We must show that old man Feng An a little bit of color." Cui Yi said.

Cui Lingdao said coldly: "How do you retaliate? The Feng family's forces are all in Lingnan. They seem to be courtiers, but they are actually princes of one party. How do you retaliate?"

"Father, why don't you just send someone to give Feng An to..." Cui Yi's eyes showed a ruthless look.

Cui Lingdao scolded: "Shut up! Can you stop thinking about killing people to solve the problem?"

"Didn't I learn this from you?" Cui Yi muttered.

"What did you say?" Cui Lingdao stared.

"No...it's nothing." Cui Yi shook his head quickly.

"Feng An is the Duke of the state, and he has managed Lingnan for many years. Do you think he is so easy to assassinate?" Cui Lingdao said.

"Then it's hard to forget it? Other families don't know how to laugh at our Cui family." Cui Yi said.

"It's not that easy for Feng An to kill Gu Liqing and show his loyalty to Li Shimin." Cui Lingdao sneered.
