Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 109 Hou Junji's Provocation
"Here, as far as I know, the Beiwei army has found out about the Turkic going south, and immediately returned to Chang'an and told Lord Hou."

"Even if I don't know the whole story, I know that with the character of the Marquis, I will definitely tell His Majesty, but in the end it is still like this. Why is this?"

Having said this, Zhang Wencheng frowned slightly, "The Marquis is a smart man. He has made extraordinary achievements many times. According to common sense, Your Majesty should have given him an official title, but why did the Marquis go into business at this time?"

"My lord, the sum of all the signs is enough to show that Lord Hou's achievements are so great that His Majesty doesn't believe in Lord Hou at all, and is even afraid."

Wei Zheng's complexion changed a little when he heard the words, "Master Zhang, don't talk nonsense."

"Master Wei is a smart person. I think you know if I'm talking nonsense, but you just don't want to admit it."

Zhang Wencheng pursed his lips, and then continued: "Zhang and your lord said this, just want to ask your lord to take care of Lord Hou in the court hall."

"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. I have fully understood the saying today. I hope that Lord Hou can live a good life."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng sighed softly, then cupped his hands to Zhang Wencheng and said, "Master Zhang, don't worry, Lord Hou is also my savior. No matter when, as long as Lord Hou is right, as long as I, Wei Zheng, are still alive, no one will touch you." That's it, Lord Hou."

"Thank you sir."

After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Zhang Wencheng felt relieved, and then bent over and walked away slowly.

Looking at Zhang Wencheng's embarrassed back and thinking about what he said, Wei Zheng turned around and looked at the huge palace, his eyes suddenly became a little more complicated.

On the other side, Hou Junji went straight to the Marquis Wu's Mansion as soon as he came down to court.

After all, he was slapped in the face by Luo Bin last time, so he must get his face back this time.

Thinking of Luo Bin's expression after he knew that Bingzhou had become his territory, Hou Junji couldn't help laughing.

…………

"Master Hou, Lord Hou Junji is here."

Luo Bin was anxiously waiting for Wei Zheng's news in the mansion, when he suddenly heard the servant's report.

Hearing this, the crease between Luo Bin's eyebrows deepened a bit.

After all, if someone like Hou Junji came to him on his own initiative, nothing good would happen.

Though thinking like this, Luo Bin still sighed softly, "Let him in."

"Yes." The boy replied, and then went down to pass the message.

After a while, Luo Bin saw Hou Junji's somewhat sneer face.

In order to avoid trouble, Dou Ying'er hid behind the screen again and did not show her face.

"Why did Mr. Hou come to my house suddenly? Is there something wrong?"

Luo Bin also raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his eyes and asked.

Hou Junji's smile deepened when he heard the words, he raised his chin slightly and said, "Master Hou didn't go to court, so he probably doesn't know what happened this morning."

"The governor of Bingzhou was dismissed, and there is no leader in Bingzhou, so His Majesty sent this general to sit in Bingzhou."

After hearing Hou Junji's words, Luo Bin's face darkened a little, "Then I will stay here, thank you general for helping me manage Bingzhou temporarily."

"........."

Hou Junji's expression became even darker when he heard the words, what does it mean to temporarily manage Bingzhou for him?

"Master Hou may be thinking too much, this..."

Hou Junji was about to say something when his words were picked up by Luo Bin.

"I probably didn't think too much about it."

Luo Bin raised his eyebrows at Hou Junji, and then continued: "This Bingzhou is the back cover that the Supreme Emperor personally bestowed on me during the reign of Wude."

"Your Majesty just thinks that I have to take care of the many shops under my hand and I can't leave my body. I just ask the general to help me take care of it temporarily. When I have rectified the shops and colleges in Chang'an, I will go to the general to take over."

"Luo Bin, His Majesty personally asked me to take charge of Bingzhou. How can you take over it just because you said you would take it over?"

Hou Junji was so angry that he jumped his feet. Why did Luo Bin change the direction of the originally good situation with a few words?
When Luo Bin heard this, he just glanced at Hou Junji calmly, "No matter if I take it over now or not, or when I take it over, this Bingzhou is my fiefdom."

"Even if the general manages Bingzhou for his whole life, Bingzhou is still subordinate, isn't it?"

"you……"

Hou Jun pointed tremblingly, but before he finished speaking, Luo Bin picked it up again.

"If the Marquis feels that I really want to go to my fiefdom, I can't mercifully give it to you, but this matter must be approved by His Majesty."

"And unfortunately, I have managed Bingzhou in an orderly manner over the past few years, so there is no reason for Your Majesty to take back my fiefdom."

Speaking of this, Luo Bin glanced at Hou Junji helplessly, and then said slowly, "What's more, this fief is a reward from the Supreme Emperor."

After hearing Luo Bin's words, Hou Junji was furious, but he had no words to refute.

He just got up and glared at Luo Bin, "So what if Bingzhou belongs to the Marquis? Your Majesty orders that the officials, soldiers, civilians and common people in Bingzhou still obey my general?"

"That's because I didn't go."

Luo Bin laughed lightly when he heard the words, and then looked at Hou Junji provocatively, "If we go down, the general will see who they listen to?"

"You... this general will not argue with you, a civil servant!"

Hou Junji saw that he couldn't beat Luo Bin, so he could only shake his sleeves, "This general is here to tell you that tomorrow I will leave for Bingzhou."

"Well, let's go."

Luo Bin nodded indifferently, and then said: "By the way, Bingzhou has been in peace and prosperity under the rule of this prince in the past few years. If the general goes, be sure not to disturb Manchuria."

"what do you mean?"

Hou Junji was even more angry when he heard the words, and said with a frown: "When I was marching and fighting, I managed the hundreds of thousands of soldiers clearly. The total population of your Bingzhou is only 10,000+. This general Don’t you still understand them?”

Luo Bin was about to say something, when suddenly a young man came in from the door and handed Luo Bin a note, and whispered something in his ear.

Luo Bin opened the note and looked at it, then raised his eyes to look at Hou Junji and said, "Isn't the general leaving tomorrow?"

"It's getting late now, the general should hurry back to the house to pack up his luggage, and then spend some time with his wife and daughter."

Hou Junji naturally heard that Luo Bin was going to issue an order to expel the guests, and his face suddenly darkened.

"I don't need you to push me out of the general, as if I would like to come!"

Luo Bin smiled helplessly when he heard the words, "General, you are too old, don't come here to flirt with me whenever you have something to do, and then you can't talk to me."

"If it's always like this, you're not embarrassed, I'm embarrassed!"

After hearing Luo Bin's words, Hou Junji immediately felt a mouthful of old blood welling up in his heart, turned his head and gave Luo Bin a vicious look, then shook his sleeves and left.
