Chapter 569
Hou Junji has been in the army for many years, and there are not a few generals who have good friends with him in the Forbidden Army. Therefore, Hou Junji is also well-informed in the Forbidden Army. His actions in Gaochang gradually spread among the Forbidden Army. How could he know? I don't know.

On the day Xie Chong's impeachment memorial was delivered to the palace, Hou Junji had already received the news.

There is nothing impenetrable in the world, and Hou Junji also knows this truth, but he didn't expect the news to leak so quickly, and what he didn't expect was that Li Ke was the first to visit.

In the evening of that day, when the sky was still dark, Hou Junji was returning to the mansion from the Yamen of Youwei Mansion worriedly, but when he arrived at the gate of the mansion, before he got off his horse, he saw more than ten horses tied outside the gate. One of the white horses was tall and handsome, standing out among the group of horses like a chicken. It was different from the ones he had seen in the past. Hou Junji recognized the identity of this horse at a glance, and it was Li Ke's Dingbei.

Li Ke's Dingbei is the god steed of Mobei, the dragon horse bestowed by the emperor, except for Li Ke himself, no one else can ride it. Since Dingbei is here, it is naturally Li Ke who has arrived.

"Is there a guest in the mansion?" Hou Junji dismounted in front of the mansion, and asked while throwing the reins into the doorman's hands.

The gatekeeper replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived, and he is sitting in the side hall of the mansion."

When Hou Junji heard the disciple's words, he panicked and had speculations in his heart. Could it be that the Dongchuang incident happened, and Li Ke came here under the order of Li Shimin to arrest him?

But Hou Junji thought about it and felt that it was not true. If it was really Li Shimin who ordered the arrest, he could just send officials from the third department to the mansion, and at most he would bring Qianniuwei. Li Ke's status, how could he make such an arrest The matter of criminal detention.

Hou Junji asked: "How many troops did King Chu bring, and where are they from?"

Menzi replied truthfully: "There are more than ten people, and they are all guards of Chu Palace."

Hearing this, Hou Junji was immediately relieved. If Li Ke intended to capture him, he would not bring only a dozen people to his residence. It seemed that Li Ke had not come to capture him, and there was nothing important to do at that time.

Although Hou Junji was at odds with Li Ke, he dared not neglect Li Ke when he arrived at the mansion, tidied up a bit, and hurried to the side hall.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu came to the humble house, it's really full of splendor." Hou Junji clasped his hands and smiled as he said, and entered the side hall, and said to Li Ke.

Li Ke watched Hou Junji approaching, did not get up to return the salute, but deliberately dragged his voice, and said to Hou Junji: "It is because the mountains are not high that there are immortals, and the general's Chen Guogong's mansion looks simple, but I am afraid it is just an appearance. Bar."

Listening to Li Ke's words, Hou Junji seemed to have other intentions, and asked, "The general does not understand His Highness's words."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Simplicity is nothing more than appearances. If you count the hidden items in the General's mansion, it may be more expensive than this king's Chu Palace."

Li Ke's Chu King's Mansion was built by Yang Su, the Duke of Chu in the Sui Dynasty. It occupies half of the square. It is extremely extravagant and ranks first among all the mansions in Chang'an. The rest of the kings are also incomparable to him. This is well known. Hou Junji How can Chen Guogong's mansion compare with Chu Wang's mansion.

But Li Kezhi's words caught his ears, but Hou Junji was in a panic. He already knew what Li Ke was implying. What Li Ke said probably meant that his house hid the money from Gaochang Kingdom's looting and corruption. .

Hou Junji pretended to be steady and said: "What does Your Highness mean by this? It will make you more confused at the end."

The corner of Li Ke's mouth was frivolous, and he said with a smile: "Could it be that the general wants me to mention the matter of Gaochang again in person?"

Hou Junji knew Li Ke's intentions clearly, but still pretended to be confused, and said to Li Ke: "Your Highness is talking about General He Lan, and the General He Lan's death, the general also feels grief, but this is really unexpected. Please don't blame your Highness."

Li Ke waved his hands and said: "Although the story of Helan Yueshi has not been turned over yet, since I have already mentioned it to the general in person, I will not mention it again. What I am talking about is what the general brought back from Gaochang King City. baby."

Sure enough, when Hou Junji heard what Li Ke said, he mentioned the treasures he brought back from Gaochang City, which were naturally the mountains of gold, silver and jewels in Gaochang King's City, but Hou Junji was greedy for ink and never reported it. Li Shimin, how could he admit this matter, if he admits this matter at this time, wouldn't it be right for Xie Chong's memorial to impeach him?

Hou Junji said anxiously: "Your Highness is joking. Although the last general's Chen Guogong's mansion is far less wealthy than Chu Wang's mansion, it is rich in rewards from His Majesty. It will never be short of expenses. How could it be brought back from Gaochang State? What baby."

After listening to Hou Junji's words, Li Ke pointed at Hou Junji, waggled his fingers, and said with a smile, "The general is hiding something for himself, but I have heard that the general found two peerless beauties from Gaochang King City. Her skin is whiter than snow, and her complexion is peerless."

After listening to Li Ke's words, Hou Junji understood Li Ke's meaning. It turned out that the treasure Li Ke was talking about was a beauty, not the treasure he looted from the Gaochang King City.

Li Ke was known as a romantic when he was young, and most likely he was also a womanizer. He had heard rumors that Hou Junji had obtained two stunning beauties from Gaochang, so it was natural for him to want to take a look at them.

Hou Junji suddenly said: "It turns out that what Your Highness said is this, but it is true. When the last general captured Gaochang King Ju Wentai, he captured two beauties from Ju Wentai Palace. These two people are indeed different from my Central Plains girls. .These two beauties do not eat food, but only drink human milk, so their skin is as white as jade, and they are as white as snow, which is rare in ancient times."

Hearing this, Li Ke said curiously: "It's quite novel that there is such a thing as eating only human milk."

Hou Junji said: "It's true. When the last general got these two women for the first time, he was also very surprised. Because they are beautiful, he also wanted to present them to His Majesty, but was rejected by His Majesty. It was given to the last general. The last general did not know that His Highness also liked these two, so he hid it in the mansion. If the last general knew what His Highness wanted, he would have given it to him early in the morning."

Li Ke paused, pretending to be incredulous: "Isn't it good that this king wins people's love?"

Hou Junji said: "What's wrong, Your Highness just open your mouth, and I will send the beauty to His Highness's residence later."

"Haha."

Li Ke laughed loudly, cupped his hands and said: "In this way, I thank the general for letting go."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he got up and left without mentioning anything else.

In the side hall of Chen Guogong's mansion, Hou Junji and Hou Yong, the housekeeper of the Guogong's mansion, watched Li Ke leave. Hou Yong said happily to Hou Junji, "Ah Lang, if I had known that the two beauties could have blocked the King of Chu's Mouth, why do we bother to go to such trouble?"

Although beauties are rare, Hou Junji would definitely be reluctant to send them away, but offending Li Ke would be a big loss. Compared with his wealth and life, two women are nothing, so Hou Yong also said this.

Hou Junji heard the words, but the smile on Caicai's face disappeared suddenly, he sighed and said: "Li Ke is a little fox, even Changsun Wuji may not be his opponent, how could he be so easily fooled. "

Hou Yong asked, "What does Ah Lang mean?"

Hou Junji worried and said: "I'm afraid this is Li Ke's plan to slow down the army. You find Chu Shi for me. I want to see the crown prince again tonight."

 The third one is here, thank you for your support.
