Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 389 Timed Blasting
Fang Jun led the Shenji Camp to evacuate and returned to the capital, and Hou Wenxiao, the deputy governor of the Anxi Protectorate, breathed a sigh of relief.Even though he has always been tough on Fang Jun, it is actually just a means, which can make the thousands of left guard soldiers stationed in Xizhou respect him.

These soldiers are the greatest help arranged by their uncle, but they have to show their strength to make these arrogant soldiers willing to drive for themselves.Fang Jun has a fierce reputation, and Hou Wenxiao is stepping on Fang Jun's reputation to enhance his reputation.

In fact, he was frightened to death in his heart. He was like a frightened bird all day long. A little bit of trouble made him uneasy. He was afraid that Fang Juner would lose his temper, and he tied himself up and chopped his head regardless...

Even if Fang Jun had already left, Hou Wenxiao did not dare to be too careless. After all, everyone from Gao Chang to the princes and nobles, down to the merchants, all had deep interests in Fang Jun, and all of them were Fang Jun's eyes and ears. Who knew Fang Jun? When Jun was leaving, would he arrange for an assassin to kill him in one fell swoop when he was negligent?

Carefully making the Wannian Ship, Hou Wenxiao was thinking of his own life, and there were still a large number of guards guarding his entry and exit. He just stayed in the barracks at night, and the mansion prepared for him in the city was resolutely afraid to step in...

He was just a deputy governor recommended by Hou Junji, and he didn't know Fang Jun's strategy under Xizhou, much less that this strategy was actually a national policy of the Tang Dynasty.But Hou Wenxiao is not stupid, he can't just rely on himself to charge into the battle, even if he wants to cramp and peel Fang Jun, he would not dare to disobey His Majesty Li Er's orders so recklessly.

Therefore, he intends to start from the local forces in Xizhou and unite to destroy Fang Jun's fortune. In his opinion, this is the greatest revenge against Fang Jun.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Hou Wenxiao also heard about Fang Jun's slander about Ju Wendou, and felt that Ju Wendou was the helm of the Ju family, otherwise he could not swallow the bad breath of being alienated by Fang Jun.

So, he decided to go to the door himself.

It rarely rains in Gaochang, but on this day, there was an autumn rain.

The rain was not heavy, and the thin raindrops swayed gently in the wind, but the streets and alleys were full of laughter and laughter. The children were so happy about the rare fact of rain, and let the raindrops fall on their bare feet, frolic Running around in the street.

Hou Wenxiao arrived at Ju Wendou's mansion and reported his name. No matter how he dared to neglect, he quickly led Hou Wenxiao to the living room to wait.Hou Wenxiao led a dozen guards into the mansion.

The doorman was stunned, thinking that he was here to meet guests, or was he here to raid the house?
Even if he is slandered in his heart, facing the second largest official in Xizhou, let alone his family, even Ju Wendou wouldn't dare to be dissatisfied in the face, right?He hurried to inform Ju Wendou.

Sitting in the spacious living room, looking at the decorations full of Western style, Hou Wenxiao was in a much better mood, thinking about how to attract Ju Wendou with a lotus flower.The Ju family belongs to the royal family of Gaochang. Although the country is broken, the power is still there. Once they are drawn over, not only will it be easy to get revenge on Fang Jun, but even if the most guarded Qiao Shiwang is overshadowed, it is not an extravagant hope...

Life is alive, one is happy and enmity, the other is promotion and making a fortune, if both can come one after another, what else can a husband ask for?

Just when Hou Wenxiao was thinking of a bright future happily, a beautiful maid held a bronze incense burner in her hand, and Pingping Tingting walked in with her waist lightly dangling.

Although Hou Wenxiao didn't believe that anyone in Ju Wendou's house would be unfavorable to him, he still carried guards with him.At this time, the guards with their backs and their waists are on the side, so naturally they won't be much wary of a maid.

The maid bowed her head slightly, walked briskly into the hall, placed the bronze incense burner in her arms in the middle of the hall, gave Hou Wenxiao a light blessing, and bowed out.

Sandalwood was burning in the bronze incense burner, and a faint smoke wafted out from the hollowed-out lines, and the lobby was filled with a good smell of sandalwood, which calmed the mind and refreshed the mind. One is clear.

Ju Wendou strode into the lobby, laughing loudly and salutes Hou Wenxiao: "The Deputy Chief Protector is visiting, let go of the splendor!"

Hou Wenxiao smiled lightly and said with a bit of restraint: "I have received awards, I have received awards, this official has heard of the clear name of the prime minister, he is a figure like a jade pillar in Gaochang, and he is also the mainstay of the Ju royal family. I came here to ask for advice. I hope the Prime Minister will not hesitate to enlighten me."

"What are you talking about?" Ju Wendou pretended to be displeased and said, "Hou Du protects the young and promising, and will be a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty in the future. If I have the opportunity to have a drink with you, why is it not my Ju Wendou Sansheng is lucky? "

The two chatted politely for a while, and the host and guests took their seats.

Hou Wenxiao couldn't bear to go around the old man's detour, and he simply pointed out his purpose: "The prime minister is the head of the Ju royal family, and the uncrowned king of Xizhou, even if he is the protector of Qiao Da, he has to rely more on Your Excellency. It's just that That Fang Jun is a rascal, vulgar, insidious and cunning, and the insult to the Prime Minister a few days ago made me feel the same way!"

He first put a big hat on Ju Wendou and flattered him, and then pointed out that we actually have a common enemy. As long as you cooperate with me, then you, the head of the Ju family's royal family, will be taken care of by me. The state is one-third of an acre, and the tide will naturally rise!
He thinks Ju Wendou is a smart person who can understand his own words.

But he didn't understand one thing. Although Ju Wendou was the prime minister of Gaochang City before, he was not the head of the Ju family's royal family, let alone that he was not, not even Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang...

Ju Wendou smiled, thinking that this Hou Duhu is really straightforward, but how should he choose?
Are you going against Fang Jun?

That would offend all the noble merchants in Xizhou, because it would harm everyone's interests. Even if they got the support of Hou Duhu, would it not be worth the loss?

Ju Wendou did not object to fighting against Fang Jun, but this Hou Wenxiao was just a deputy governor. Ju Wendou had no idea how powerful he was, and naturally he couldn't tie the Ju royal family to Hou Wenxiao's chariot inexplicably.

While thinking about it in my heart, I suddenly heard the servant outside the door say, "Qiaoduhu sent an envoy to ask for an interview."

Both Ju Wendou and Hou Wenxiao were shocked.

Could it be... that Qiao Shiwang already knew that the two were meeting in private?

Ju Wendou didn't dare to be negligent, stood up, and cupped his hands to Hou Wenxiao: "Come here when you go down, and ask Hou Duhu to sit down for a while."

Hou Wenxiao nodded, his mind changed.

Ju Wendou came out of the lobby and braved the drizzle to come to the gate in person, but there was no messenger in front of the gate.

His face suddenly sank, and he asked the doorman, "Where is the messenger?"

Menzi was also inexplicable: "The man said he was the envoy of the Protector of Qiao Da, and he came here on orders. How dare he delay? He sent someone to report it, but the messenger only stayed for a while and then left without saying goodbye..."

Ju Wendou was confused, thinking what is this called?
Shaking his head, he turned and walked back.

Just after taking two steps, I heard an earth-shattering loud noise in my ears. I looked at it in horror, and a black smoke rose into the sky from the main hall of the mansion...

Ju Wendou was surprised at first, and then turned pale!
Hou Wenxiao, the deputy protector of the Anxi Protectorate, is in his main hall!

Ju Wen lost his soul, spread his feet and ran to the main hall. When he got close, he saw that the originally magnificent main hall had collapsed, rubble and broken limbs were everywhere.

Ju Wendou was completely dumbfounded...

*****
Across the street from Ju Wendou's mansion, on the second floor of a wine shop, a man looked out from the window and saw the black smoke rising from Ju's mansion, followed by a muffled sound like thunder, even the floor below his feet. Shake slightly.

The drizzle was drizzling, and the guests in the restaurant thought it was thunder, but they didn't care.Drinking and chatting, some business as usual...

Occasionally, someone saw the black smoke from the Ju family's mansion, but they just thought it was running out of water.

After a while, a figure flashed from the stairs, and said solemnly: "Report to the commander, the task is completed. It's just that Ju Wendou went to the main hall a little earlier than expected, so his subordinates had to show up, pretending to be the envoy of Lord Protector General, and sent him to the main hall. Lead out of the main hall, or else you will be killed together with that Hou Wenxiao."

The man was Duan Zan, and he said, "Well done, this Ju Wendou can't die, so killing Hou Wenxiao in his house is the best result, let's set off immediately to catch up with Hou. Lord!"

"promise!"

The man responded and turned to go downstairs.

Duan Zan took another look at the black smoke in the Ju family's mansion and muttered, "Master Hou is indeed a genius, tying incense sticks to Zhentianlei's fuze to control the timing of the explosion, what a genius idea. …”
