I'm a marquis in Datang

He turned around and was about to leave.

"Report!"

At this moment, a sentry sentry rushed towards Hou Junji in a blink of an eye, and shouted: "General Hou, something is wrong. Our people who ambushed Du Qi were ambushed, and Zhou Ziqing was killed." Most of the people were captured. Only a few dozens of people escaped, and our ambush failed."

Hou Junji's complexion suddenly changed drastically.

Finished!

His calculation failed again.

In Hou Junji's heart, he was looking forward to winning.If the assassination is successful and the Great Xia Kingdom loses Du Qi, then the Great Xia Kingdom will be a toothless tiger, nothing to fear.

In Hou Junji's mind, another question suddenly occurred to him.The emperor knew about this matter at the moment.Even the emperor is waiting for his good news, once the current news is sent back to the court...

Hou Junji suddenly shivered uncontrollably.

The situation is not good!

He provoked Du Qi right now, but his calculation failed.If things work out, that's fine.The problem is that the matter is not resolved for Du Qi, but caused trouble instead, the emperor will not be in a good mood.

Su Dingfang said lightly: "General Hou, the plan to ambush Du Qi failed.

Next, think carefully about how to explain to His Majesty and how to deal with Du Qi's anger.Du Qi, it's not easy to provoke. "

Hou Junji was already nervous in his heart, but this time he became even more nervous.

Su Dingfang continued: "General Hou, I'm afraid you don't have time to deal with me now. Apart from what I asked you to think about just now, think about how to protect yourself."

Hou Junji snorted and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Su Dingfang looked at Hou Junji's leaving back and shook his head. He went straight back to the hall, called Fu Junheng over immediately, and ordered: "Fu Changshi, go and send the order immediately. All the soldiers under my command are on alert. , Guard along the Guazhou border. Once Du Qi has a large army raid, respond immediately."

"Yes!"

Fu Junheng responded immediately.

After a pause, Fu Junheng said, "Inspector Su, it's actually very unwise for me to say that you had a conflict with Hou Junji today. You shouldn't have a conflict with him."

Su Dingfang said: "I can't bear it anymore, so naturally I can't bear it. What's more, Hou Junji came to the door to provoke him, wanting to slap me severely in the face, which made me lose face, so I naturally gave up."

Fu Junheng said: "Inspector Su, even if you are angry, you shouldn't be. You are not only the one who killed him, but also humiliated him in public, which is very inappropriate!

"

Su Dingfang said: "Fu Changshi, don't worry. What's more, Hou Junji can't protect himself now. I'm afraid he can't handle his own situation well, and he doesn't have time to trouble us."

"Yes!"

Fu Junheng nodded and answered.

After careful consideration, it seemed that Su Dingfang's words made sense.But Fu Junheng thought for a while, and continued: "But Governor Su, I still insist on my own opinion. Hou Junji is not an ordinary person. He has a different status in the court. It is very inappropriate to offend him."

Su Dingfang stared at Fu Junheng, looked carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Fu Changshi, although my teacher Li Jing has ignored the government, he may not be afraid of Hou Junji. Hou Junji has a background, and so do I. Are you too It's unfounded to worry about. Or, I simply let you work under Hou Junji's command."

Fu Junheng smiled awkwardly when he heard it, and left to busy himself with his own affairs.

On the other side, after Hou Junji returned to the camp, he immediately summoned all the generals under his command and issued orders to be on guard one after another. At the same time, he asked his sentries to keep an eye on the border to prevent Du Qi from making any changes.

Following the order after order, Hou Junji was slightly relieved.

The thing to consider right now is to prevent being attacked.

Prevent Du Qi from killing him.

After Hou Junji finished arranging everything, he was thinking in his heart whether he should make a separate memorial to plead guilty to Li Shimin.Because the assassination of Du Qi failed this time, if the performance is not played, I am afraid that Li Shimin will be punished.But Hou Junji thought about it, if this matter was brought up, it would be an apology, but what if Du Qi didn't attack?

So after Hou Junji thought about it, he finally decided to suppress Shangzuo.

Temporarily chose to wait and see.

Time passed day by day, and it entered the beginning of June in a blink of an eye.The weather at this time is getting hotter and hotter.But Hou Junji had been waiting for Du Qi to attack, and even had soldiers on high alert along the way.From the beginning to the end, there was no action or change in the entire Xia Kingdom, and even the spy Chen Youde who was arranged in Yizhou did not send back any news.

Under this premise, Hou Junji gradually relaxed, because Hou Junji felt that it was impossible for Du Qi to attack.

Hou Junji relaxed, feeling a little more at ease.

Because Du Qi won't attack anymore.

This is a good thing.

If Du Qi came to attack, it would be difficult for Hou Junji to handle, and even difficult to resist, especially since all the responsibilities had to be placed on Hou Junji's body.But after what happened this time, if Du Qi attacked again in the future, Hou Junji was not to blame, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Chapter 934 God-given opportunity

Godsend

In June, the weather is hot.

It is the hot season, and the whole earth is like a steamer, and people are in it, like steamed buns, all wet and sticky, making them extremely uncomfortable.

It's just that on June [-]th, when the Shenshi was about to end, dark clouds covered the top, and the whole world was covered by dark clouds. It felt like black clouds were overwhelming the city, as if the sky was about to collapse.

At the border between Guazhou and Yizhou, there is a mountain depression surrounded by forests, but the interior is rather low-lying.Especially since it is surrounded by woods, and it is not where the official road is located, few people come here.

The army under Du Qi's command was hidden here.

Xue Rengui, Ma Yuan, and Xiao Yuanqi all arrived, and the army led by the three men was a total of [-] people.

The army is entrenched and consumes countless amounts every day.

It's just that the soldiers in the army are eating dry food for the time being, and have never lit a fire to cook.Only in this way can the news not be leaked.If hundreds of thousands of people want to light a fire and cook, there will be a lot of smoke, so they all eat dry food.Fortunately, there is a water source in the mountain col, so it is convenient to pour water, and it will not be difficult to drink water.

Even so, there are still many inconveniences and many problems, which are finally overcome one by one.

Du Qi was sitting under a tree at the moment, looking up at the sky, feeling the cool breeze of summer, and there was a relaxed expression on his face.Because of the hot weather, it was really hard work.Even Du Qi's complexion is darker now.After all, he is hiding in the mountains and has no house to live in, so there is still some influence.

Shangguan Yi said seriously: "Your Majesty, looking at today's weather, it is estimated that it will soon rain. In the Western Regions, it is rare to have rain. This is a rare opportunity to be a little cooler."

Du Qi said with a smile: "It's been several months since we left Gaochang and now in Rouyuan County. But from the beginning to the end, there was very little rain. Now when it rains, you should enjoy it. "

"Report!"

At this moment, a soldier came running back.

The soldiers came to Du Qi's side and reported: "Your Majesty, according to the news from our sentry. The number of Tang army spies on the border of Rouyuan County has decreased, and they are not as frequent as before."

Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Explore again!"
