A hint of gloom flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes, and he said, "Do you really want to go against me?"
"Zhao Guogong was joking. It's just a different move. How can he say it right?" Hou Junji said with a smile.
Snap!
"General! You lose."
Hou Junji said calmly: "It's just a game of chess. If you lose, you will always win."
"Life is like chess. If you lose in chess, you can start over. If you lose in life, there is no chance to start over. Duke Lu must be cautious." Changsun Wuji said with a pun.
Hou Junji said: "There is no road that has been traveled. Who knows which road is right? Maybe the road chosen by Zhao Guogong is the one that is impassable?"
Changsun Wuji said coldly: "Since you think so, why did you agree to me in the first place? Is it easy for you to act like me?"
"Don't be angry, Mr. Zhao Guo. I thought about it carefully later. King Jin is too young. When King Jin comes of age, the other princes will already be in power. How can King Jin compete with the other princes? One disadvantage of this kind of thing is the danger of annihilation.
I have to think about this big family, right?"
Although Changsun Wuji did not have an official position, no one dared to underestimate his influence, and Hou Junji did not want to offend Changsun Wuji to death.
"Your Majesty is in his prime. Now the more fiercely those princes fight, the further away from the throne they are. By then King Jin will be an adult, and the time is right. The Hou family has a weak foundation, so don't follow the aristocratic family's method of diversifying investments." Changsun Wuji mocked.
road.
The anger in Hou Junji's eyes flashed away. The Hou family was born in the Shanggu Hou family, which was also an aristocratic family. Now that their family fortunes have declined, they can no longer be considered an aristocratic family.
"It's because of the small family that we have to be cautious," Hou Junji said.
"Are you determined to support King Wei?" Changsun Wuji said with a gloomy face.
Although he has great fame, he has no real power.
If you want to support Li Zhi to ascend to power, you must have power, and the most important thing is military power.
Even though Hou Junji is being ignored now, he still has quite a reputation in the military.
He also tried to test out Cheng Yaojin and his other generals, but those people were all cunning and cunning, and had no effect at all. So far, he has only won over some small schools.
It would undoubtedly be a great help if we could get support from Hou Junji.
"Didn't Duke Zhao just say that the King of Jin is still young? Now that I support the King of Wei, it will not affect my support of the King of Jin." Hou Junji said with a smile.
"Gong Lu Guo is also a person who has experienced what happened back then. He should know that it is better not to be double-dealing." Changsun Wuji sneered.
"Zhao Guogong is joking. Although I have selfish motives for supporting the prince, I am still loyal to His Majesty." Hou Junji said.
Changsun Wuji laughed and said: "The Tang Dynasty already has a prince. Since we are loyal to your majesty, why don't you support the prince?"
"Haha, isn't Zhao Guogong the same? Why do you have the right to laugh at me?" Hou Junji countered.
"Then I wish Duke Lu that his wish will come true and he will have a bright future."
After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Hou Junji looked at the chessboard and sneered.
How could he, Hou Junji, be willing to be someone else's pawn?

"Have everything been packed?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Go back to Lord Marquis, we have already packed it up." Qiu Fu said.
"Liu Da, I'll leave this place to you. I'll leave fifty people for you. After we leave, you can move to the house we bought." Lin Xuan said.
"Yes, I will send you to the Marquis." Liu Da said.
More than 300 men and horses, plus several carts of goods, headed for the harbor in a mighty manner.
When the soldiers loaded the goods onto the ship, Lin Xuan looked at Liu Da and said, "I'll leave this to you, go back."
"I wish you all the best, Lord Marquis."
Liu Da bowed and finished speaking, but had no intention of going back.
Lin Xuan did not persuade him and turned around and got on the boat.
"Master Hou, wait a moment."
At this moment, a group of people came from a distance.
Lin Xuan turned around and saw a group of more than a dozen people, guarding a carriage and several carts of goods, rushing over.
The carriage came close and stopped, and Lu Yuxuan got out of the carriage.
"Miss Lu, are you here to see me off?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Lu Yu proclaimed a blessing and said with a smile: "Master Hou, we are going back from Lingnan. The journey is tiring and the little girl is weak. I want to go back with Master Hou on his boat, but I don't know if it is possible."
"It's not that I don't want to take Miss Lu along with me. It's actually that my group of more than 300 people, plus the horses and goods, is almost full. With your few carts of goods and so many people, there is really no way to take along." Lin Xuan refused.
road.
Lu Yuxuan also said yesterday that he came to Lingnan in advance to avoid arousing suspicion.
Now that he wanted to take his boat back so openly, Lin Xuan really didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Since he didn't know what Lu Yuxuan was paying attention to, Lin Xuan naturally didn't want to take her with him.
"Master Marquis, I only need to bring one maid and bodyguard. The others will take the goods overland."
Lu Yuxuan didn't seem to hear the rejection in Lin Xuan's words, and after speaking, he directly gave instructions to the guards.
The guards bowed, pulled the carriage and goods and left.
There was only one guard and a maid left around Lu Yuxuan.
"Excuse me, Lord Marquis." Lu Yuxuan said with a smile.
"Ms. Lu, please come inside."
Now that things are like this, what else can he say?
Lin Xuan took Lu Yuxuan on board and said to Qiu Fu: "Arrange a room for Miss Lu."
"Yes! Miss Lu, please come this way." Qiu Fu said.
"Master Hou, I'll go over first and come back to see Master Hou later." Lu Yuxuan bowed and followed Qiu Fu.

"Dad, Gu Liqing is dead." Cui Yi said.
Cui Lingdao's eyes narrowed and he said, "I have been out of touch for so long. I should have thought that it was Feng Ang who killed him?"
Although he seemed to be asking, his tone was very certain.
"What my father said is right, it was the old man Feng Ang who did it." Cui Yi said: "After that old man killed Gu Liqing, he kept concealing the news until now."
After Feng Ang killed Gu Liqing, although he deliberately revealed it to Li Shimin, he kept the news secret from the Cui family.
He was worried that the Cui family would send someone to assassinate Lin Xuan if they got the news in advance. With Feng Zhisu in charge, if Lin Xuan died in Lingnan, the Feng family would not be able to explain it at all.
Feng Ang could only try his best to block the news, and then cooperate with Lin Xuan to get him to Lingnan as soon as possible.
The Cui family couldn't contact Gu Liqing, so they kept searching for information about Gu Liqing, but they didn't find it until now.
"I have underestimated Feng An. Feng An has been holding back. I didn't expect him to be so courageous." Cui Lingdao said.
"Dad, by doing this, Feng An simply doesn't take our Cui family seriously. A man of barbarian blood actually dares to do this. He must show some respect to that old man Feng An." Cui Yi said.
Cui Lingdao said coldly: "How do you want to retaliate? The Feng family's power is all in Lingnan. They seem to be ministers, but in fact they are princes. How to retaliate?"
"Dad, why don't you just send someone to get Feng Ang..." Cui Yi's eyes showed a trace of ruthlessness.
Cui Lingdao scolded: "Shut up! Can you stop thinking about killing people to solve the problem?"
"Didn't I learn this from you?" Cui Yi muttered.
"What did you say?" Cui Lingdao stared.
"No...nothing." Cui Yi shook his head quickly.
"Feng Ang is the Duke of the country and has been running Lingnan for many years. Do you think he is so easy to assassinate?" Cui Lingdao said.
"Is it possible to forget about it? Other aristocratic families don't know how to laugh at our Cui family." Cui Yi said.
"It's not that easy for Feng Ang to kill Gu Li Qingmingzhi and show his loyalty to Li Shimin." Cui Lingdao sneered.
