Chapter 459    The Spring Festival Banquet!!!

The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Daxing City, half of the royal palace.

Heavy snow fell on both ends, and the snow on the ground could no longer reach people's ankles.

Today is the day when Li Mu's mansion holds a big banquet. Those who can come to the mansion to attend the banquet are undoubtedly Li Mu's confidants.

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

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

Li Mu has never had any airs to do with his brothers. However, this year, Li Mu did not go out to greet him, but instead welcomed him outside the door by military advisor Xu Maogong instead of Li Mu.

"Second Brother Qin!"

"Second Brother Qin!"

......

......

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

"Brothers, let's go to the mansion first!" Qin Qiong signaled the rest of the people to enter the mansion first and come to Xu Maogong himself.

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

"Brother Qin, General Qin is infected with the cold. I am afraid he can't participate in the dinner tonight. However, General Qin has an order and orders you to host the event!" Xu Maogong said to Qin Qiong.

"The General is sick, is it serious?" Qin Qiong asked anxiously.

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

"Brother Qin, military advisor!" At this time, Yuwen Chengdu got off the horse and bowed to the two of them.

"Go in Chengdu first!" Qin Qiong nodded.

It was completely dark, and all the confidants under Li Mu gathered together. This dinner before the Spring Festival would naturally come to everyone.

Except for Wei Zheng, Shan Xiongxin, You Junda and others who are far away from home, everyone has arrived.

"Everyone, the general is infected with the cold. Today's dinner orders me, Qin Qiong, take care of everyone. Everyone must eat and drink well, otherwise it will be my Qin Qiong's negligence!" At the beginning of the dinner, Qin Qiong first toast a glass of wine to the brothers.

"You are welcome, Brother Qin!"

"It's all my brothers, second brother is polite!"

.........

.........

The brothers said one after another, "We are all people in the army, so we are naturally very generous."

There were more than ten tables in the entire hall, each with more than ten people sitting. Today, more than a hundred people were qualified to participate in the banquet.

The main seat of the table at this end is empty, this is Li Mu's position. Even if Li Mu did not attend the seat today, no one dared to sit in this position.

On the left side of the empty position is Qin Qiong, and Qin Qiong is the main figure among the forty-six friends of Jia Liulou, including Xu Maogong, Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng, Cheng Yaojin.

On the right side is Yuwen Chengdu, and down from Yuwen Chengdu are Su Lie and Mai Tiezhan.

This is the main table. If Li Mu enters the table, these people can be at the same table as Li Mu, then they are the confidants of their hearts.

This year, there is one more person on this main table, which is Hou Junji.

Originally, Hou Junji was among the forty-six friends of Jia Liulou, and was only a medium-sized sequence. However, since Li Mu promoted Hou Junji to take charge of Tengshe Guard, Hou Junji's status has naturally increased.

After all, a murderous organization like Tengshe Guard is equivalent to having a murder license. Hou Junji's ability to take charge of this army is enough to prove Li Mu's trust in him.

Although Li Mu was not there at the banquet, the brothers were still talking to each other, and the whole banquet was very pleasant.

If there was no such list, Xu Maogong really thought that these people were still loyal to Li Mu. However, in fact, at least 10 or 20 of them had betrayed Li Mu.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to draw bones when painting tigers and skins. It is hard to know people and faces but not the heart!

Mr. Xu Mao was secretly observing these inner ghosts, and his heart couldn't help but feel mixed feelings.

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

"Junji, General, call you!" Xu Maogong said softly to Hou Junji.

Since Hou Junji took over the Tengshe Guard, Li Mu has summoned him alone on weekdays. Therefore, this did not attract Hou Junji's attention.

"Dong, dun, dun!"

Hou Junji came to the bedroom in the backyard and gently pulled the door.

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

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

"Click!"

After pushing open the door, Hou Junji walked into the room and found that there was a table in the outdoor room and Li Mu was having dinner at the table.

There are tables of delicious food on this table, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, drilling in the soil, and all kinds of delicacies in the 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 attend the banquet this year!"

"Can you discover that thing?" Hou Junji murmured in his heart.

"Sit down and have a meal!" Li Mu signaled Hou Junji to sit down.

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

The two sat opposite each other, and neither spoke actively, and were both burying their heads to eat.

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

"Bang!" Li Mu slapped the chopsticks on the table and shouted: "I'll let you eat, and you're not allowed to stop until you finish the food on the table!"

Li Mu glared at him and immediately scared Hou Junji to death. He quickly began to scatter the food on the table into his mouth.

At this time, Qin Qiong, Yuwen Chengdu and others outside the house also hugged. Looking at the situation in the house, everyone was puzzled.

The general forced Junji to eat on the land. Why is this?

Except for Xu Maogong, who knew the causes and consequences, the rest were all confused.

Qin Qiong was about to come forward to persuade Li Mu, but Xu Maogong grabbed Qin Qiong's arm and shook his head at him. He signaled that Qin Qiong would wait and see.

Li Mu asked himself to eat, but Hou Junji dared not to eat. However, the things that could be kept in his stomach were limited.

"Vomit, vomit, vomit."

Soon, the food was stuffed into his throat, and Hou Junji leaned over and started to retching.

"If you can't eat it, you will be able to die of suffocation!"

"Junji, do you think so?" Li Mu said quietly.

Li Mu's words made Hou Junji tremble all over. At this time, he was able to confirm that Li Mu must have known about his connection with the aristocratic families.

"General, spare your life!"

"Give me your life, I'm confused for a while, I'm confused for a while!"

"General, for the sake of my life and death for you, I will spare me once, and once!"

......

......

Hou Junji knelt on the ground, cried with tears and tears.

Seeing this, Qin Qiong and others didn't understand what was going on.

Qin Qiong strode forward, grabbed Hou Junji's neck and said angrily: "Hou Junji, you have betrayed the General!"

"You bastard, look at me, Cheng Bu, kill you with an axe!" Cheng Yaojin took out his axe and was about to step forward.
