Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 459: The Spring Festival Banquet! ! !

The 26th of the twelfth lunar month.

Daxing City, half of the palace.

Heavy snow fell to both ends one after another, and the snow on the ground could already cover people's ankles.

Today is the day for a big banquet in Li Mu's mansion, and those who can come to the mansion for the banquet are undoubtedly Li Mu's confidantes.

In the evening, Li Mu's confidants started to go to Li Mu's mansion one after another.

Those who can come to the banquet today are all brothers who fight for Li Mu in this life. In previous years, Li Mu greeted them outside the door in person.

For his brother, Li Mu has never put on airs.But this year, Li Mu did not go out to greet him. Instead, military adviser Xu Maogong greeted him outside the door instead of Li Mu.

"Second Brother Qin!"

"Second Brother Qin!"

As soon as Qin Qiong came, a group of brothers immediately surrounded him and greeted Qin Qiong.

"Brothers, let's sit in the mansion first!" Qin Qiong signaled the rest of the people to enter the mansion and came to Xu Maogong by himself.

"Military division, why didn't the general come?" Qin Qiong asked Xu Maogong curiously.

"Second brother Qin, the general is infected with the cold, so I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in tonight's dinner. However, the general has an order to host you!" Xu Maogong said to Qin Qiong.

"The general is ill, is it serious?" Qin Qiong asked anxiously.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the doctor said that he needs to rest." Xu Maogong said with a smile.

"Second brother Qin, military advisor!" At this moment, Yu Wencheng got off his horse and cupped his hands towards the two of them.

"Chengdu go ahead!" Qin Qiong nodded.

The sky was completely dark, and all of Li Mu's confidantes had gathered.Naturally, everyone will come to the dinner before the Spring Festival.

Except Wei Zheng, Shan Xiongxin, You Junda who are far away from other places, everyone has arrived.

"Everyone, the general is infected with the wind and cold, and I, Qin Qiong, have been ordered to take care of everyone at the dinner today. Everyone must eat well and drink well, otherwise it will be my negligence!" Qin Qiong toasted a glass of wine to all the brothers at the beginning of the dinner .

"Second Brother Qin, you are being polite!"

"They're all my brothers, second brother, you're being polite!"

All the brothers said one after another, everyone is a member of the army, so they are naturally very bold.

In the entire hall, there were a dozen tables, and each table sat more than a dozen people. Today, there are more than a hundred people who are eligible to participate in the banquet.

The head seat at the first table was empty, this was Li Mu's seat, even if Li Mu didn't take the seat today, no one would dare to sit in this seat.

On the left hand side of the vacant place is Qin Qiong, from which Qin Qiong is Xu Maogong, Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng, Cheng Yaojin and other main characters among the 46 friends of Jia Liulou.

On the right is Yuwen Chengdu, and below Yuwen Chengdu are the main official figures such as Su Lie and Mai Tiezhang.

This is the main table, if Li Mu is seated, these people can sit at the same table with Li Mu, then they are the confidantes of the confidants.

This year, there was one more person on the main table, and it was Hou Junji.

Originally, Hou Junji was among the 46 friends in Jialiulou, and he could only be regarded as a middle-ranked rank.However, since Li Mu promoted Hou Junji to take charge of the Tengshe Guard, Hou Junji's status has naturally increased.

After all, a murder organization like Teng Snake Guard has a license to kill.Hou Junji's ability to take charge of this army is enough to prove Li Mu's trust in him.

At the banquet, even though Li Mu was not there, the brothers were still promoting glasses to each other, and the whole banquet went on very happily.

Without that list, Xu Maogong really thought that these people were still loyal to Li Mu.However, in fact, at least 20 of them have betrayed Li Mu.

As the saying goes, it's hard to draw a tiger's skin and bones, knowing people and faces but not knowing the heart!

Xu Maogong was secretly observing these ghosts, and he couldn't help but feel mixed feelings in his heart.

After the three rounds of wine and the five flavors of the food, many brothers also dispersed one after another.

"Junji, the general is calling you!" Xu Maogong said softly to Hou Junji.

Ever since Hou Junji took charge of the Teng Snake Guard, Li Mu often summoned him alone every day.Therefore, this did not attract Hou Junji's attention.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Hou Junji came to the bedroom in the backyard, and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Li Mu's voice sounded in the room.

After hearing Li Mu's voice, Hou Junji couldn't help but "thump" in his heart. Li Mu's voice was full of anger, and he didn't look like he was sick at all.

"Crack!"

After pushing open the door, Hou Junji walked into the room.It was found that there was a table in the outer room, and Li Mu was eating at the table.

There is a table of delicacies on this table, food that flies in the sky, food that runs on the ground, food that swims in the water, food that drills in the soil, all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas.

Li Mu was drinking by himself, and he didn't look sick at all.

"The general is not sick, why didn't he go to the banquet this year!"

"Could it be, could it be that you found out about that?" Hou Junji muttered in his heart.

"Sit down and eat!" Li Mu signaled Hou Junji to sit down.

On the table, opposite Li Mu was a pair of bowls and chopsticks, which were obviously prepared for Hou Junji.

The two sat opposite each other, neither of them took the initiative to speak, they were both buried in their meals.

After all, Hou Junji had already had a banquet outside, and he didn't have much room left in his stomach. He didn't eat much, so he really couldn't eat anymore.

"Crack!" Li Mu slapped his chopsticks on the table and shouted, "I told you to eat, don't stop until you finish eating the food on the table!"

Li Mu stared, and Hou Junji was so frightened that he trembled all over.He quickly began to pick the food on the table into his mouth.

At this time, Qin Qiong, Yuwen Chengdu and others outside the house also rushed up.Looking at the situation in the room, everyone was a little puzzled.

The general forced Junji to use the land to eat, why?
Except for Xu Maogong, who knew the cause and effect, everyone else was at a loss.

Just as Qin Qiong was about to step forward to persuade Li Mu, Xu Maogong grabbed Qin Qiong's arm and shook his head at him.Signaled, let Qin Qiong wait and see.

Li Mu asked him to eat, but Hou Junji didn't dare not to eat.However, there is a limit to what the stomach can hold.

"Uh, uh, uh."

Soon, the food stuffed his throat, and Hou Junji leaned over and retched.

"If you can't eat it, you will die!"

"Junji, don't you think so?" Li Mu said quietly.

Li Mu's words made Hou Junji tremble. At this moment, he was sure that Li Mu must have known about his connection with the powerful family.

"General, have mercy!"

"Forgive me, I was confused for a while, and I was confused for a while!"

"General, for the sake of my life and death for you, please forgive me once, please forgive me once!"

Hou Junji knelt on the ground, crying with snot and tears.

Seeing this, Qin Qiong and others still don't understand what happened.

Qin Qiong strode forward, grabbed Hou Junji by the collar, and said angrily: "Hou Junji, you betrayed the general!"

"You bastard, see if my old Cheng will kill you with an ax!" Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he took out his ax and was about to step forward.
