"It's been a long time, wait for the protection."

"It's been a long time, Pingguo Gong."

Hou Junji looked at Tang Ping, when he left Chang'an, this kid was not a national prince, at most he was a young man who was just starting out.

Unexpectedly, when they met again, the other party was already a prince who could be on an equal footing with him.

Tang Ping didn't expect that Hou Junji really brought a few people directly into his commercial street.

You must know that Hou Junji has been guarding against Tang Ping, and it stands to reason that even if he wants to negotiate with Tang Ping, he will at least find a safe place for both parties.

He brought a few people to the commercial street, and the cavalry squad of about a few hundred people who escorted him over also stopped five or six hundred meters outside the commercial street, which really made Tang Ping feel puzzled.

However, although he couldn't figure out Hou Junji's intentions, Tang Ping was not afraid of him, after all, behind him was an increasingly powerful Tang Dynasty.

After meeting Hou Junji on the third floor of a teahouse, he asked straight to the point, "Hou Du protects one person, aren't you afraid that I will bring you back to Chang'an?"

Hou Junji didn't answer Tang Ping's question, but asked rhetorically, "A few days ago, I saw that you brought the old Wu Tou who made soup cakes in Chang'an West City? It's been a long time since I've eaten the soup cake he made, so you ask him to make me a bowl."

"You ......" Lao Cui didn't fight when he saw that Hou Junji was so angry, Hou Junji was an invincible feudal official for others, but he didn't have much trouble with Tang Ping back then.

"It's okay, Lao Cui, go and invite Lao Wu Tou to make a bowl of soup cakes for us."

Lao Cui left angrily, and Hou Junji didn't care, sitting leisurely in his position and drinking tea.

"If Hou Duhu had the current realm back then, he wouldn't have come to such a point......

Tang Ping sighed softly on the side, Hou Junji didn't expect Tang Ping to say this, and after being slightly stunned, he smiled and said, "This is the most reasonable sentence I've heard you say."

"Back then, I ...... It's really a bit of a hurry. 「

As he spoke, the soup cake that Hou Junji wanted to eat was also delivered, Hou Junji sniffed it closely, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"That's the taste, I've eaten all kinds of delicacies here over the years, but I'm just thinking about this bite."

After speaking, he didn't care whether it was hot or not, and he just picked it up with chopsticks and ate it violently.

A large bowl of soup cakes was quickly solved by Hou Junji.

"This shop was still taken by His Majesty to eat back then."

wiped his mouth with his sleeve, then Hou Junji looked at Tang Ping and asked, "When you came this time, Your Majesty didn't give you any orders?"

"What do you think Your Majesty will give me?"

"Why don't you take my head back?"

"Hehe, Hou Duhu, you still underestimate our majesty!" Tang Ping smiled slightly, and then walked to the edge of the railing.

In the commercial street, this teahouse on the third floor is relatively high, and the pair of cavalry escorting Hou Junji can be seen waiting a few hundred meters away.

Tang Ping pointed to the cavalry team and said to Hou Junji, "Hou Duhu, do you see the tooth flag there?"

In ancient times, when the troops traveled, there would be many flags, among which the flag with the commander's surname, that is, the tooth flag, was the most important.

So among all the flags, the tooth flag is also the largest.

Hou Junji's eyes are very good, so he can naturally see clearly from this distance.

"Rengui, fight down." Tang Ping said lightly, and before Hou Junji could figure out what it meant, he heard a muffled sound from upstairs.

Then I saw a tooth flag with the word "Hou" written on it break and fall down.

Hou Junji's back was cold, such a long distance was the courage of Li Xuanba, who he knew, and he couldn't do it with a bow and arrow.

So that muffled sound should be the same thing as the Datang Shenwei cannon, right?

A few years after leaving Chang'an, has Datang studied the Datang Shenwei Cannon to such an extent?

He self

However, I didn't know that the sniper rifle used by Xue Rengui upstairs was brought by Tang Ping from the beautiful country, and it was not something that Datang's current technology could produce.

Now Hou Junji even regrets a little, if he didn't make a mistake at the beginning, then with his qualifications in the army, he can also lead a unit equipped with these equipment to gallop on the battlefield.

"Hou Duhu, do you see? If I want to kill you, it's really not that hard." Tang Ping took a box from Lao Du's hand, and then threw it to Hou Junji: "This is Your Majesty's will for you."

This was given to him by Li Shimin before Tang Ping left Chang'an.

If Hou Junji resisted to the end, he would naturally not see this will.

And if he had the intention of surrendering, Tang Ping would show him this will.

Although Hou Junji didn't say it now, he brought such a few people to Tang Ping's territory, which can actually show that he has the intention of surrendering.

That's why Tang Ping handed over this holy decree to him.

Hou Junji took the holy decree with some trembling and opened it carefully.

There's nothing too official in it, but a few words:

"Go back to the old house in Chang'an and live in peace of mind!"

The implication is that as long as Hou Jun returns to Chang'an, Li Shimin can not kill him.

Of course, there is the affection of Li Shimin and Hou Junji in the past.

It is also because of the existence of more than 100,000 troops under Hou Junji.

Li Shimin has broader ambitions and doesn't want to put his troops on the internal friction with Hou Junji, so he has such a will, hoping to return Hou Junji's Yanbei Protectorate army for his own use.

"That's it!" Hou Junji knelt down in the direction of Chang'an: "I have been wrong all these years, and I asked Ping Guogong to bring back all the Tang troops who followed me to Yanbei in the past, they just acted at my orders, and they did not intend to rebel."

Tang Ping was puzzled, what did this Hou Junji mean to hand over the part of his army that originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty, but he himself was still unwilling to return to Chang'an?

"Hou Duhu, my second uncle treats you like this, and you still don't want to go back to Chang'an?"

"It's because Your Majesty treats me like this that I don't have the face to go back." Hou Junji looked at Tang Ping and said, "Now half of the soldiers of the Yanbei Metropolitan Protectorate are from these nearby countries, because of my connivance, it will not be a good thing to bring them back to the Tang Dynasty."

You must know that he is in the capital of Yanbei to protect the mansion, and he uses force to coerce several small countries around him, and it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts.

After those ronins of Buyeo Silla joined his command, they have also been doing some things that are not on the table.

"So Hou Du Hu wants?"

After listening to Hou Junji's explanation, Tang Ping probably guessed his intentions.

At this time, Hou Junji seemed to have returned to the time when he was in high spirits in the past: "Let me sweep this Northeast realm again for the Tang Dynasty!"
