Liu Heng said this freely, but the three people present heard the bitterness from his words.

Liu Heng also seemed to realize this, and said with a smile: "When this person is in front of me, I always feel that he treats me badly, owes me something, and even resents him a little in my heart.

But as soon as I heard that he had gone to the battlefield, my heart couldn't help but rise. I'm worried that he's going to have a good job on the battlefield. ”

Liu Heng paused, glanced at Kou Ji and the others, and grinned: "You say, am I cheap?" ”

The three of them didn't laugh, they all looked solemn.

Fan Zhong stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth and said quietly: "It is human nature for a son to worry about his father. After all, you are father and son, he is on the battlefield, you are worried about him, it should be so, why is it cheap? ”

Cao Tong patted Liu Heng's shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry. With your father's identity, it's not his turn to charge. He has the vanguard of the former army, as well as the lieutenant under his tent, for him to drive.

Besides, whether it is against Western Xia or Liao this time, there are two families to help them.

Your dad will be fine. ”

Cao Tong is a disciple of the general, and his words are naturally the most convincing.

When Liu Heng heard his words, his face softened by three points.

Kou Ji said on the side: "Your father doesn't have soldiers and horses in his hands, so he can't fight at all." If my guess is correct, the reason why the imperial court sent your father to accompany the army is because of your father's identity as the Imperial City Division.

The imperial court probably wanted to borrow your father's hand to send spies from the Imperial City Division to cooperate with the scouts in the army to spy on the military situation together. ”

Hearing Kou Ji's words, Liu Heng's worried heart finally let go.

A natural smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Are you comforting me?" Do I need your comfort? ”

When Kou Ji and the three of them heard this, they all rolled their eyes.

The three of them quarreled for a while, and the servants brought wine and food.

The three of them were talking, eating meat and drinking wine.

After drinking for a while, Fan Zhongyan proposed a drinking order, and Cao Tong and Liu Heng nodded in agreement.

Kou Ji was embarrassed.

He is not a scholar who has learned rich and five cars, and after he arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, he has not studied orthodoxy.

The only time I received education was when I accompanied Zhao Zhen in the palace, and I was taught by those officials who taught Zhao Zhen.

But those people gave lectures to Zhao Zhen, most of them talked about the knowledge of saints, and rarely mentioned things like the wine order.

That's why Kou Ji won't enforce the alcohol order.

Fan Zhongyan and the others seemed to see Kou Ji's embarrassment, and the corners of their mouths were hooked into a smile.

Seeing this, Kou Ji pretended to be profound: "The wine order or something, it's too vulgar and too ordinary." How do we bet on dice? ”

"The dice? What's the poison law? ”

Fan Zhongyan asked.

He is not a rotten man, and he is never rigid at the wine table.

Kou Ji briefly told Fan Zhongyan about the way to brag with dice in later generations.

Fan Zhongyan listened, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Fighting wit, fighting bravery, fighting courage, wonderful wonderful...... If I had known that Brother Kou Xian had such a wonderful method, I should have dragged you to drink earlier. ”

In the eyes of some people, the method of bragging with dice in later generations is just a game of fun at the wine table.

But in the eyes of some people, this game is a game of wit, courage, and acting.

This game is great for honing intelligence, guts, and acting skills.

Immediately.

Koji summoned the servants of the palace and told them to prepare the dice.

After getting their things ready, the four of them played.

The servants watched the four of them play each other's acting skills, and found it interesting, and secretly watched from the sidelines, and after watching for a long time, they also learned how to brag with dice.

When they went down, they inevitably had to get together with the other servants in the house and play with each other.

It won't be long before this game spreads all over Bianjing.

Kou Ji didn't know at all that the bragging game he proposed in order to save face would soon become a beautiful scenery on the wine table.

The four of them played in the house until late at night.

Koji had three rooms for them to sleep in.

Kou Ji himself staggered back to his room and fell asleep.

He was also a little drunk.

Although the wine of the Great Song Dynasty is lower than the wine of later generations, it is also wine.

He was the soul who traveled to the Great Song Dynasty, and not the body who traveled to the Great Song Dynasty.

This body is not enough to support him for a thousand cups without getting drunk.

A few days after that.

It's been in the middle of the New Year.

Either someone came to visit Kou Mansion, or Kou Li and Kou Ji went out of the mansion to visit others.

Kou Ji had been to the Li Mansion, and when he went to the Li Mansion, Li Di was beating his son for unknown reasons.

Kou Ji saw Li Di carrying a rattan with a fierce look, so he decisively put down the gift and ran away.

But he didn't escape from Li Di's palm, he was dragged by Li Di, and drank two glasses with Li Di before leaving Li's mansion.

When he went to visit Xiangfu, Xiang Minzhong's old man, with his five sons, kept persuading Kou Ji to drink.

Kou Ji felt that this old man's purpose was impure, and when he was slightly drunk, he excused himself and took his leave.

Although Kou Ji escaped quickly, he did not escape the palm of Xiang Minzhong's old man after all.

The old man didn't know when, but stuffed a purse into his arms.

The purse is embroidered with two colorful mandarin ducks.

Kou Ji wanted to lose this thing, but after thinking about it, he still left it.

It's not that he's a greedy girl who embroiders a purse, he simply thinks that this purse is good, and it is very good to hold the newly made gold and silver leaves on the house.

After all, in this era when champions are parading the streets across horses and their purses are flying around, one purse is not enough to decide Kou Ji's marriage.

Subsequently, Kou Ji went to Wang Zeng's mansion, Cao Wei's mansion, and Yang Wenguang's mansion.

When he arrived at Wang Zeng's mansion, he was dragged and taught by Wang Zeng for a long time.

He told Kou Ji that Kou Ji had been talking and doing things recently, and he was a little arrogant, and hoped that Kou Ji could be cautious in his words and deeds to avoid offending people.

Wang Zeng was able to say this to Kou Ji, so he naturally treated Kou Ji like a nephew.

Kou Ji knew Wang Zeng's intentions, so whatever Wang Zeng said, he nodded in response.

As for whether he will do what Wang Zeng said, that is another matter.

The Great Song Dynasty is now suffering from serious internal and external troubles, and if Kou Ji wants to change the current decline of the Great Song Dynasty, he must take drastic medicine.

The drug is too light on Da Song, but it will not have any effect.

When he arrived at Cao Wei's mansion, Cao Wei didn't say much, except for leaving Kou Ji to have a meal at the mansion, he invited Kou Ji to Cao's mansion to learn art.

On Chinese New Year's Eve in Yanfu Palace, Kou Ji fought with the Redbearded Liao, and although he won, he was clever in the past.

Cao Wei believes that people like Kou Ji who are not hard enough need to learn some martial arts in case of emergency.

Kou Jiwan declined Cao Wei's invitation.

Regarding his own comfort problems, Kou Ji has his own plans, and he is not willing to endure hardships and learn martial arts.

Kou Ji didn't see Di Qing in Cao's Mansion, so he asked Cao Wei.

Cao Wei said that he trusted the relationship, sent Di Qing out of Bianjing City, and let him go to the army for training.

Kou Ji felt that it was fake for Cao Wei to send Di Qing out to practice, and it was true that he was hiding from those girls in Cao's mansion.

Cao Tong had mentioned to Kou Ji more than once that Di Qing stayed in the Cao Mansion, which could cause a lot of harm to the girls in the Cao Mansion.

That guy didn't do anything, but when he practiced martial arts on weekdays, he liked to be shirtless.

When the girls of Caofu looked at him practicing martial arts shirtless, they often committed nymphomaniac, and sometimes in the place where Di Qing practiced martial arts, they stayed for a day, and when they were driven away, they would leave.

Every time Kou Ji met Cao Tong talking about this topic, he shirked left and right and refused to answer.

Di Qing harmed your Cao family girl, that's Di Qing's ability, what does it matter to me Kou Ji?

It's not me Kou Ji who harmed your Cao family girl.

If I really harm your Cao family girl, I will be happy behind your Cao family's back if I take care of your Cao family.

Your Cao family is a martial artist, and you are a relative of the emperor, and if you are allowed to climb up to me, the grandson of the prime minister, then you will not be able to go to heaven?

After coming out of Cao's Mansion, Kou Ji went to Yang's Mansion.

He promised Yang Wenguang several times that he would visit the house.

But it never worked.

In order to make up for his mistakes, Kou Ji specially brought a heavy gift to the Yang Mansion.

In Yang's mansion, he had seen Yang Wenguang's aunts, and he had also seen the old Longzhong, but he was still kind and kind-hearted.

There are few men in the folded family who live long.

The girls of the Zhe family have lived a long life, and the Taijun is eighty years old this year, not deaf, blind, with a strong voice and full of energy.

Judging from its voice, its physical condition is far better than Kou Zhun's.

When Kou Ji arrived at the Yang Mansion, he accompanied Zhe Taijun to tease the boring son, and said a lot of witty things, which made Zhe Taijun laugh again and again.

In the sound of Zhe Taijun's many invitations to come to the mansion to play, Kou Ji left the Yang Mansion.

Out of the Yang Mansion, looking at the somewhat dilapidated portal of the Yang Mansion.

Kou Ji was a little embarrassed.

Kou Ji originally thought that the Yang family was not living a nourishing life, but after seeing the food and clothing of the Yang family, he found that they lacked nothing.

The Yang Mansion has never been repaired, not because of the lack of money.

The preservation is pure and the Taijun does not allow repairs.

In her words, she was afraid that after Yang Ye's bones were welcomed back, she would not recognize the gate of Yang Mansion.

Kou Ji took this opportunity to roughly know the secret of Zhe Taijun's longevity.

She's boiling, waiting.

After Yang Ye's bones were brought back, he was buried with Yang Ye.

The ancients got along with husband and wife, and paid attention to sleeping together in life and sleeping in the same cave when dying.

She was afraid that she would lie on the Song soil alone and not sleep well, and she was also afraid that Yang Ye would lie on the soil and sleep unhappily.

After coming out of the Yang Mansion, Kou Ji's heart sank.

In the Yang Mansion, he didn't see the legendary martyrs, nor did he see the majestic twelve widows.

I saw only an old man, an octogenarian woman, looking forward to her husband's return.

Kou Ji's heavy mind was carried until he reached the Zhu Mansion before he put it down.

Zhu Neng saw Kou Ji coming over to greet him for the New Year, which was quite enthusiastic.

not only greeted his children and grandchildren, came over to climb Kou Ji to call him brother and uncle, but also called all the female relatives in the house, so that they could get to know Kou Ji.

And, prepared a big table of delicious food for Kou Ji.

I heard that Kou Ji likes to eat bear paws, so he specially set up a bear paw banquet for Kou Ji.

Although he is now in the palace and has no way to hunt those bears and tigers, he has served as a military envoy and a large number of subordinates.

He needs to eat those mountain treasures, he doesn't need to hunt himself, and those subordinates under him will also help him prepare properly.

I had a beautiful meal in Zhu's house.

Before leaving, Zhu Neng also loaded him with a lot of mountain and wild treasures, pulled a full three-horse cart, and sent him to Koufu.

Kou Ji was like this, eating and drinking between various mansions, until the eighth day of the new year.

The morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month.

The weather is slightly cool.

The cold wind is biting.

When the weather clears, there are not many pedestrians on the streets.

Except for those poor small traders and vendors, who are forced to carry their burdens and come out to sell sesame paste, wontons, soup cakes and other things, few people walk on the streets.

The streets are deserted.

A bone-chilling cold wind blew.

The small merchants and vendors did not dare to sell anymore, and one by one they tightened their single clothes, hiding at the mouth of the alley and under the eaves, and taking advantage of the wall to lower than the cold wind.

"Dada~"

The sound of horses' hooves was very harsh in the quiet streets.

From the mouth of the alley and under the eaves, the small merchants and hawkers stuck out their heads, and saw three fast horses, all the way along the royal street, galloping into Bianjing City.

On horseback sat a soldier, who carried a command flag and a letterbox behind his back, and hung three waist cards around his waist.

Seeing that some people stuck their heads out of the alley, they hurriedly shouted: "Emergency military situation, the Liao army is advancing westward, and the army is coming to Western Xia!" ”

The reason why they shouted was not only to announce the military information they were carrying to the people, but more importantly, to remind the people not to appear in front of the horses when they were galloping on their horses.

They receive military orders, and they carry out military orders.

There is no delay at that moment in the military order, but it is not a casual joke.

If someone really stands in their way, whether they are killed or killed, it will be a vain death.

Even if they were in front of Zhao Zhen, no one shouted for them.

The soldiers rode their horses and galloped past.

The small merchants and vendors in the alleys and under the eaves poked their heads out one after another.

They didn't care about the cold wind, and they gathered together one by one, discussing what the soldiers had just shouted.

"Did the Liao people go to fight the Western Xia people?"

"It's like this to send eight hundred miles to expedite, it shouldn't be wrong."

"The Liao Emperor is really powerful, just after fighting Goryeo, he turned around and went to fight Western Xia! So much money and food from them? ”

"Where else can I get it, rob it! The Liao people are barbaric, and they go south every year to rob my Great Song Dynasty. ”

“……”

One of them was insightful, and at this time he interjected a sentence.

"After the Liao people finished fighting Goryeo, they went to fight Western Xia. Once they take down Western Xia, then the next step will be to beat me Da Song. ”

"Really?"

"Naturally, it's true, the Liao people are obviously driving their neighbors. Once they took Western Xia, among the neighbors, only our Great Song Dynasty remained. ”

"That's not good."

“……”

The chatter of the small traders and vendors has not yet spread.

The bell that hung over the imperial city was struck.

Kou Ji crawled out of the warm quilt as soon as possible, and after getting dressed, he ran to Kou Zhun's room.

When he ran to Kou Zhun's room, he saw that Kou Zhun had already changed into his official uniform and was about to leave the house.

Kou Zhun saw Kou Ji and ordered: "Go and change into official clothes quickly, and follow the old man into the court." ”

Kou Ji was puzzled: "What happened, why is the palace ringing the bell again and worrying about the hundred officials?" ”
