Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

"This is nothing." The head of the Longxi Li family exhaled: "This matter is almost over. When Hou Junji and the others are all dead, we will be completely safe."

“It’s time to start preparing.”

As he spoke, the Longxi Li family's head's gaze suddenly became sharp, sweeping across the two men's eyes with an incomparable resolute depth.

….……….…….
Hou Junji, the head of the Zhaojun Li family, and Jie Li Khan all knelt together in irony.

The people threw all kinds of rotten vegetable leaves and weeds in their hands at them.

Venting out the anger in my heart.

They can’t control the Wei Palace and the Five Surnames and Seven Families now, but these three people are definite troubles!
"It's Qin Wenyuan!"

Suddenly, Hou Junji spoke among the three silent people.

The head of the Zhaojun Li family reacted a little sluggishly.

After a few breaths, he turned his head blankly and looked at Hou Junji.

"What Qin Wenyuan?"

Jie Li Khan opened his bloodshot eyes and stared at Hou Junji.

But Hou Junji didn't say anything else.

He closed his eyes directly.

Kneeling there, like a dead man.

The head of the Zhaojun Li family and Jie Li Khan subconsciously looked at each other.

Suddenly, their hearts trembled.

The eyes that were no longer visible in the night were filled with horror.

Qin Wenyuan!
Really...it's him!!
The wind blew through, but the noisy voices of the people were still extremely disturbing.

The entire square in front of the Suzaku Gate was filled with heads.

The imperial city has never been so lively.

Hou Junji, Jie Li Khan, and the head of the Zhaojun Li family were like pickles in an ice cellar.

The cold spirit was twitching.

Qin Wenyuan!
After all, I can't escape from Qin Wenyuan!
silence!

Speechless!

silence!

Closed his eyes.

…….…….…….
Du Fu.

Zhangsun Wuji, King of 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 tightly.

They already knew everything about Hou Junji.

"Right now, Hou Junji is kneeling in front of the Suzaku Gate, and the Zhaojun Li family has also been completely executed."

Wei Zheng said slowly.

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Ji, the lord of Yunzhou City and the man in charge of the northern border defense line.

Li Ji's eyes moved slightly.

He swallowed hard.

Shake his head.

"I really could never have imagined 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, so it is not good to add insult to injury."

"Your Majesty will avenge the blood feud of the soldiers of the Northern Frontier Army. I am not worried about that."

"After all, when I return, I will give an explanation to my brothers."

Li Ji said calmly.

Everyone glanced at each other and nodded.

"Why……."

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "Since Brother Li has said so, it is even harder for us to say anything."

"This time, it was Hou Junji's fault. He was so wrong that he can't possibly survive. But his family... are more or less innocent."

Wei Zheng stopped talking here.

These old friends gathered together to discuss how to deal with the Duke of Lu's mansion.

Search your home?

They always feel a little bit reluctant.

But if we let it go like this, it would be extremely unfair to those soldiers who died on the frontier.

It was quite common to sentence Hou Junji to confiscation of his property for his crime.

"But he is innocent. What can the soldiers on the border do? We cannot say anything about this matter."

Li Jing took a deep breath and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, we can't talk about it."

"Your Majesty has the final say, but don't forget, there is also Young Master Qin."

Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes, exhaled lightly, and said, "In that case, then... let Master Qin judge the punishment."

"I believe that Your Majesty is in great pain and it is difficult to make a decision."

Du Ruhui said.

No matter what, Hou Junji was a man who had made great military achievements for the Tang Dynasty in the past. Even in the Xuanwu Gate, he had been burdened with huge tasks.

Really not as good as that. Go ask Qin Changye.

As soon as this was said, everyone nodded.

They were not qualified to speak on this matter, and His Majesty was in a dilemma and decision, so it was difficult for them to give advice. If Qin Changye had given his answer, I believe no one would say anything.

"Master Qin?"

However, Li Ji frowned slightly.

A little confused.

The name of the King of Chu resounded throughout Chang'an. He had returned to Chang'an these few days and had been accompanying his wife whom he had not seen for a long time. He had heard the name Qin Changye so many times that his ears were callused.

Anyway, everything that happened in Chang'an recently is related to Qin Changye.

However, even if Qin Changye is talented, Hou Junji’s matter has nothing to do with him.

Ask him…….
Isn't it a step further?

"It's Mr. Qin."

Li Jing turned his eyes to look at Li Ji, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't think that Mr. Qin has nothing to do with the incident in the northern border this time."

"Do you remember those mysterious armies? And the mysterious young master they mentioned? In fact, that mysterious prince was Young Master Qin."

"As for this mysterious army, who else but Young Master Qin has the ability to train such a terrifying army? So, Shiji, you said Young Master Qin, you can't even ask him?"

As soon as these words came out.

Li Ji's eyes, which were originally full of doubts, suddenly widened.

Even their bodies stood up suddenly.

"this……."

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

The sudden answer caught him completely unprepared, and his entire soul felt as if it was boiling.

incredible!

Unbelievable!

Qin Changye?
That mysterious army, are they Qin Changye's subordinates?
The mysterious prince who saved the entire Northern Frontier and the entire Yunzhou City is Qin Changye?

so horrible!

This news was like a bolt of thunder, exploding directly on Li Ji's head and knocking him unconscious.

Gulp...
Li Ji swallowed hard. He listened and laughed at the people looking at him, as if they had known the news for a long time.

He pursed his cracked lips.

I just felt my mouth was extremely dry.

My throat just feels hot and sore.

"We actually had some guesses about this matter when we arrived in Yunzhou City."

"Because the attack method of the mysterious army is something only the King of Chu knows, and 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 confirmation! Although Master Qin hasn't personally admitted it, this matter can be said to be almost certain."

Qin Qiong said in a deep voice.

Li Ji nodded stiffly.

The eyes moved.

Take a deep breath.

Then he said, "In this case, let Master Qin make the decision. I, Li Ji, have no objection."

"But...how can I contact Mr. Qin?"

"This is actually not difficult. Old Immortal, there is 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 had always been noisy and there was no stopping at all.

No matter night or day.

Those who were kneeling in front of the Suzaku Gate were still kneeling.

But early this morning, a rare guest came to the Suzaku gate.

Li Tai!

He came on foot, as if he wanted to prove his innocence.

He did not dodge or hide at all, he just walked over openly and headed straight for the Suzaku Gate.

Of course, he also heard about what happened yesterday.

At that time, he was so scared that his legs felt weak.

If Li Tai had not been able to keep his composure in the Prince of Wei's Palace with Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu, he would have confessed his crime yesterday, like an ant at the bottom of a pot.

After a night of special training, Li Tai arrived early this morning.

Go to the imperial city and ask Li Shimin to plead for Hou Junji.

This time, I have to go even if I don’t want to.

At this moment.

Rumors are flying everywhere.

According to Wei Ting and the others, as long as they stood up, walked out, and said a few words for Hou Junji, most of these rumors would disappear immediately.

It was just right, and it could also refute Jie Li Khan and the head of the Zhaojun Li family's claim that the Prince of Wei's Mansion had also betrayed the Tang Dynasty.

After all, according to most people's thinking, if the Prince of Wei's Mansion had done something so heinous, how could they dare to go to the Imperial City and seek death?
So, Li Tai came.

"Look, it's His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. Why is His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei here at this time?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's because of what Jie Li Khan said yesterday, that the Prince of Wei's Mansion also betrayed the Tang Dynasty, so he wants to explain to His Majesty?"

"I think it should be, about 80% of it."

"Your Highness the Prince of Wei is so calm and composed. It seems that he doesn't care about this matter at all and is not affected at all."

"Who knows? But the King of Wei is the King of Wei. He is a member of the Tang Dynasty royal family and will not be defeated so easily. Besides, who knows whether this is true or not? We can't just believe the Turks' one-sided words."

"That's right. Who knows if this is a plan by the Turks to alienate us from the Tang Dynasty? Besides, why would His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei betray the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, that's right!"

"......."

The people were talking a lot.

They all looked at Li Tai and said all kinds of things.

Hou Junji and the head of the Zhaojun Li family also looked over.

Li Tai stood not far away and looked at them deeply.

He didn't go over.

Directly entered the imperial city.

"What did Your Highness the Prince of Wei do in the imperial city?" The head of the Zhaojun Li family, who had been kneeling all night, looked extremely tired, much more tired than Jie Li Khan, who had been kneeling for several days.

There was no way. He was old and his energy was far inferior to that of Hou Junji, Jie Li Khan and other people in their prime.

"hehe."

Hou Junji chuckled softly: "What else can he do? He must be pleading for me, and then explaining that he was wronged. It's just a show."

"However, at this time, to have such courage and strategy, it must be Wei Ting and his team who are behind it."

Hou Junji said silently.

The purpose of this matter is not difficult to guess.

The head of the Zhaojun Li family was slightly stunned.

He thought about it for a moment and nodded.

From this perspective, it can indeed bring the greatest benefits to the King of Wei.

"Why don't you tell the King of Wei about that?" The head of the Zhaojun Li family glanced at Hou Junji.

Hou Junji snorted coldly.

No words were spoken.

“Hehehe…”

Seeing him like this, the head of the Zhaojun Li family grinned and laughed for a while, then slowly said: "I won't tell others, let them guess. Master Qin will help us get revenge."

….……….…….
Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin sat there, not looking very well.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui didn't know how to persuade him.

This incident is a huge blow to Your Majesty.

betray!

Or it was his own son who betrayed him.

The whole city knew what Jie Li Khan said in front of the Suzaku Gate yesterday.

The three of them didn't know whether the people believed it or not, but they knew that His Majesty definitely knew something, after all, he summoned Hou Junji at the beginning.

At this time, Hou Junji didn't dare to lie to him.

As a former powerful general under his command, Li Shimin possessed his absolute majesty.

"Your Majesty, we went to see the old immortal yesterday. We asked him to inform Master Qin about Hou Junji's matter."

"I know that Your Majesty does not know how to deal with Hou Junji, so I think it would be better to let Master Qin decide how to sentence him."

"Whether it's confiscating the property, exterminating the entire clan, or just killing Hou Junji, just do as Master Qin says."

Changsun Wuji thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

Li Shimin raised his head after hearing this.

He looked at the three of them deeply and waved his hand to indicate that he agreed.

He had thought about this matter in his mind, 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 implicated in betraying the Tang Dynasty.

Including the wife of the Duke of Hou and other close relatives of Hou Junji.

"His Majesty."

At this time, Li Junxian stood out from outside the door: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei requests an audience."

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei?

After these words were spoken, everyone was slightly stunned.

Even Li Shimin's eyes trembled.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui exchanged glances with each other.

"Let him in."

There was no reason for Li Shimin to refuse.

"Father!"

"Father!"

"My son deserves to die!"

The sound arrives before the person is seen.

Li Tai walked up the steps and knelt outside without entering the house.

Tears burst into tears.

His face looked miserable.

"Father, I didn't know that Hou Junji had committed such a heinous crime behind my back."

"Over the years, I have followed my father's orders and have been learning from the dukes, so sometimes I would learn martial arts from Hou Junji."

"But, but at that time, I thought he was loyal and patriotic, and had a strong character, so I got closer and closer to Hou Junji..."

"If I had known that he would betray the Tang Dynasty, I would never have spoken a word to him. Please understand, Father!"

Li Tai roared in succession.

Just take away all the blame for yourself.

Li Shimin sat on it, looking at him quietly.

No ripples.

Changsun Wuji and the other two were even more observant of the heart through their ears and noses.

They cannot interfere in this matter.

Totally unqualified!
