Leng's spirit twitched.
King of Chu!
After all, there is no way to escape King Chu!
silence!
Speechless!
silence!
Closed his eyes.
…….…….…….
Du Fu.
Changsun Wuji, King Wei, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others were sitting around a table.
The atmosphere is a bit dull.
Li Ji clenched his hands fiercely.
They already knew everything about Hou Junji.
"Now, Hou Junji is kneeling in front of Zhuque Gate, and the Li family of Zhao County has also been completely executed."
Wei Zheng said slowly.
Everyone's eyes turned to Li Ji, the master of Yunzhou City and the talker of the Northern Xinjiang Defense Line.
Li Ji's eyes moved slightly.
He swallowed hard.
Shake his head.
"I really never expected that this time, it was Hou Junji who betrayed the Tang Dynasty."
"Since I have been arrested by His Majesty, I have nothing to say. After all, I have been friends with Hou Junji for more than ten years. It is always difficult to add insult to injury."
"Your Majesty will recover the blood hatred of the Northern Border Army officers and soldiers. I am not worried about this either."
"Anyway, when I get back, I can give an explanation to my brothers."
Li Ji said calmly.
Everyone recognized each other and nodded.
"Why……."
Wei Zheng sighed and said, "Since Brother Li has said so, it's even harder for us people to say anything."
"This time, it was Hou Junji's fault. He was so wrong that he could not survive. But his family... is somewhat innocent."
Wei Zheng stopped talking here.
These former old friends gathered together to discuss how to deal with Duke Lu's mansion.
Search your home?
They are always a little bit intolerable.
But if we just let it go, it would be a great injustice to those dead border soldiers.
It is a common thing for Hou Junji to be sentenced to confiscation of his home.
"But he is innocent, what about the soldiers on the border? We can't say anything about this."
Li Jing took a deep breath and gently clasped his fingers on the table.
Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, we can't tell."
"Your Majesty makes the decision, don't forget, there is also King Chu."
Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes, exhaled softly, and said: "In that case, then... let His Highness the King of Chu judge the punishment."
"I believe that Your Majesty is in great pain and cannot make a choice."
Du Ruhui said.
No matter how you say it, Hou Junji was a person who made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty in the past. Even in the Xuanwu Sect, he once shouldered huge tasks.
Really not as good as that. Go ask His Highness the King of Chu.
As soon as this was said, everyone nodded.
They were not qualified to speak on this matter, and His Majesty was caught in a dilemma and decision, so they could not give any advice, that's all. If there was an answer from King Chu, I believe no one would say anything.
"King Chu?"
But Li Ji frowned slightly.
A little confused.
The name of the King of Chu resounds throughout Chang'an. He has returned to Chang'an in the past few days and has been accompanying his wife, whom he has not seen for a long time. It can be said that hearing the name of the King of Chu makes his ears tingle.
Anyway, everything that happened in Chang'an recently was inseparable from King Chu.
However, even if the King of Chu is talented, the matter of Hou Junji has nothing to do with him.
ask him…….
Isn't it a step further?
"That's King Chu."
Li Jing turned his eyes sideways, looked at Li Ji, and gently
He took a breath and said attentively: "Don't think that King Chu has nothing to do with this incident in Northern Xinjiang."
"Remember those mysterious armies? And the mysterious His Highness they call him. In fact, that mysterious His Highness is His Highness the King of Chu."
"As for this mysterious army, besides His Highness the King of Chu, who has the ability to train such a terrifying force? So, Shiji, you can't even ask His Highness the King of Chu?"
As soon as these words came out.
Li Ji's eyes, originally full of doubts, suddenly widened.
Even his body suddenly stood up.
"this……."
He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
The sudden answer made him completely unprepared, and his whole soul seemed to be boiled.
incredible!
Incredible!
His Royal Highness the King of Chu?
Is that mysterious army a subordinate of His Royal Highness King Chu?
Then the mysterious His Highness who saved the entire Northern Xinjiang and the entire Yunzhou City is His Highness the King of Chu?
horrible!
The news was like a drought thunder, exploding directly on Li Ji's head, causing him to lose consciousness.
Gudong…….
Li Ji swallowed hard. He listened and looked at his people with a smile, as if they had known the news for a long time.
He pursed his chapped lips.
I just feel extremely thirsty in my mouth.
My throat is burning and hurting.
"This matter, when we arrived at Yunzhou City, we actually had speculation in our hearts."
"Because only the King of Chu knows how to attack the mysterious army. Returning to Chang'an further confirmed that the Xiuchun knife in Commander Li's hand is exactly the same as the knife in the mysterious army."
"This is even more confirmed! Although it has not been personally acknowledged by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this matter can be said to be close to ten."
Qin Qiong said in a deep voice.
Li Ji nodded stiffly.
His eyes moved.
Take a deep breath.
Then he said: "In this case, I, Li Ji, have no objection to His Highness the King of Chu judging the punishment."
"It's just...how can I contact His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"
"This is actually not difficult. The old god has a way." Wei Zheng said.
"Okay, without further ado, let's go together!"
Li Ji said directly.
….………….…….
When the sun rises again.
Chang'an did not start to be noisy again, because Chang'an has been noisy all the time without stopping at all.
No matter night or day.
Those kneeling in front of Suzaku Gate were still kneeling.
But early this morning, a rare visitor came to Suzaku's door.
Li Tai!
He came on foot, as if he wanted to prove his innocence.
He didn't dodge or hide anything, he just walked over openly and went straight to the Suzaku Gate.
Of course he had heard about what happened yesterday.
At that time, he was so scared that his calves were weak.
If Li Tai, who was like an ant on the bottom of the pot, hadn't stabilized himself with Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu in Prince Wei's Mansion, he would have directly confessed and apologized yesterday.
After a night of special training, Li Tai came this morning.
Go to the imperial city and ask Li Shimin to intercede with Hou Junji.
This time, if you don’t want to go, you have to go.
At this moment.
Rumors were flying.
According to Wei Ting and the others, as long as they stand up, go out and say a few words for Hou Junji, most of these rumors will disappear immediately.
It just so happens that it can also refute what Jieli Khan and the head of the Li family in Zhao County said about the Wei Palace also betraying the Tang Dynasty.
After all, according to ordinary people
If the Wei Palace had done such an outrageous thing, why would they dare to die and go to the imperial city?
So, Li Tai came.
"Look, it's His Highness King Wei. Why is His Highness King Wei here at this time?"
"I don't know. It's probably because Jieli Khan said yesterday that the Wei Palace also betrayed the Tang Dynasty, so you want to explain it to His Majesty?"
"I think it should be roughly the same."
"Looking at how calm and composed His Highness the King of Wei is, he seems not to be concerned about this matter at all and is not affected at all."
"Who knows, but the King of Wei is the King of Wei, and he belongs to our royal family of the Tang Dynasty. He will not be defeated so easily. Besides, who knows if this is true or not? You can't just believe the Turks' words. .”
"That's right, who knows if this is a plan by the Turks to alienate us from the Tang Dynasty. Besides, why does His Highness the King of Wei have any reason to betray the Tang Dynasty?"
"Yes, that's right!"
"……."
The people were talking a lot.
They all looked at Li Tai, talking about everything.
Hou Junji and the head of the Li family in Zhaojun also looked over.
Li Tai stood not far away and looked at them deeply.
He has not passed.
Entered the imperial city directly.
"What did your Highness, Prince Wei, do in the imperial city?" The head of the Li family in Zhao County, who had been kneeling all night, looked extremely tired. He was much more tired than Jieli Khan, who had been kneeling for several days.
There is no way, he is old, and his energy is far less than that of people in their prime such as Hou Junji and Jieli Khan.
"hehe."
Hou Junji chuckled softly: "What else can you do? It must be to plead for me, and then explain that you were wronged. It's just a show."
"However, at this time, there is such courage and strategy, it is definitely Wei Ting and others who are planning it behind the scenes."
Hou Junji said silently.
The purpose of this matter is not difficult to imagine.
The head of the Li family in Zhao County was slightly startled.
He thought for a moment and nodded.
Looking at it this way, it can indeed bring the greatest benefit to King Wei.
"You won't tell King Wei about that matter?" The head of the Li family in Zhao County squinted at Hou Junji.
Hou Junji snorted coldly.
No words were spoken.
"Hey hey hey..."
Seeing him like this, the head of the Li family in Zhao County grinned, smiled for a while, and said slowly: "I won't tell others, let them guess. Your Highness, King Chu, will help us take revenge."

Changsun Wuji thought for a moment and said slowly.
Li Shimin raised his head after hearing this.
He looked deeply at the three of them and waved his hand to express his approval.
He had thought about this, but he really couldn't make up his mind.
The Duke's Mansion of Lu State.
Except for Hou Junji, no one knew that they had been betrayed by the Tang Dynasty.
Including Hou Guogong's wife, these close relatives of Hou Junji.
"His Majesty."
At this time, Li Junxian stood up from outside the door: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, please see me."
His Highness the King of Wei?
As soon as these words came out, several people were slightly stunned.
Even Li Shimin's eyes trembled.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui exchanged looks, you looked at me and I looked at you.
"Let him in."
Li Shimin had no reason to refuse.
"Father!"
"Father!"
"My son deserves to die!"
He arrived before anyone saw him.
Li Tai walked up the steps and knelt directly outside without entering.
Tears burst into tears.
His face was miserable.
"Father, I don't know that Hou Junji went behind my back and committed such a heinous disaster."
"Over the years, I have followed my father's orders and have been learning from the princes, so I sometimes go to Hou Junji to learn martial arts."
"But at that time, I thought he was loyal, patriotic, and strong-willed, so he got closer and closer to Hou Junji..."
"If I knew that he would betray me, the Tang Dynasty, I would never say a word to him. Please tell me, Father!"
Li Tai roared a series of times.
Just pick yourself clean.
Li Shimin sat on it and looked at him quietly.
No ripples.
Changsun Wuji and the other three were even more observant.
They can't interfere in this matter.
Totally unqualified!
For a moment, there was some silence in Tai Chi Palace.
This guy still has some scheming intentions.
I just don't know if it was his own idea, or if people like Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu were helping with suggestions from behind.
Li Shimin thought to himself.
He knew very well that in this situation, if he, the King of Wei, wanted to ensure that he was fine and win the support of the people of the world, he would have to come out no matter what.
Even if it's not a clarification, it can make the world see his position clearly.
Now, here he is.
Li Shimin exhaled softly, his eyes slightly hazy.
"That's it."
After a long time, Li Shimin slowly spoke.
As soon as he opened his mouth, you could feel the disappointment in his heart.
"Did you really not know about Hou Junji's collusion with the Turks beforehand?"
Li Shimin asked again.
He stared directly at Li Tai.
Li Tai didn't dare to raise his head. Hearing these words, his whole body shivered.
"Replying to my father, no."
"If Hou Junji dared to tell me, I would definitely report it to my father as soon as possible, and there would not be... such a tragic incident in Northern Xinjiang. I would like to ask my father to warn me!
"
Li Tai said quickly.
Li Shimin smiled and waved.
"I understand, please go down."
"There has been some unrest in Chang'an recently. King Wei should not go out easily. After all... Hou Junji has just been arrested. It would be bad if there is someone with evil intentions who wants to do something unexpected to King Wei. "
"Let's not go out until the ceremony that day."
Li Shimin said directly.
