Chen Lin's old face was a little more solemn, and his eyes stared vigilantly at the figure that fell from the sky outside the main hall of the Kou Mansion Courtyard.

"Blindfolding? Isn't it too true......"

Chen Lin muttered to herself in a deep voice.

Kou Ji also stared at the figure outside the main hall, unlike Chen Lin, Kou Ji did not have a solemn look on his face, nor was his eyes vigilant, but full of curiosity.

Chen Lin turned his head slightly, wanting to discuss with Kou Ji how to deal with it, but seeing Kou Ji's curious face, his face darkened slightly.

"At the moment of the great enemy, you don't think about how to meet the enemy, but you still appreciate the enemy's methods."

Kou Ji stared at the long snake hanging in the air, and said with emotion: "It is mentioned in the Book of Jin Lezhi that the emperor of the Later Han Dynasty was congratulated by the court, and the relics came from the west, and he played in front of the palace, with two large ropes and two column heads, several zhang apart, and the two advocates danced against each other, walking on the rope, and met and cut the shoulders without leaning ......"

Chen Lin frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Kou Ji explained: "When the Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty was receiving the court, the relics of the Tianzhu people from the west played a rope skill in front of the palace, which was miraculous, and there was a skill called Tongtian rope, which is the method he uses now. ”

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "What a trick?" ”

Kou Ji didn't say anything, just stared at the figure outside the main hall.

When the figure heard Kou Ji's words, he praised it from the bottom of his heart: "Everyone in the world knows that Kou Shumi is unlearned and unskilled, and now it seems that it is the prejudice of the world. Poor monks have been cultivating the rope for decades, and have used the rope for decades.

There are only a handful of people who can break the origin of the rope through the sky in one mouth.

Kou Shumi's ability to recognize the rope of heaven is enough to show that Kou Shumi's knowledge is far beyond ordinary people. ”

Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "So...... Are you complimenting me? ”

The figure smiled indifferently: "The poor monk is a sincere compliment. ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "Even if you praise me, I won't spare your life." ”

"Hahaha......"

When the figure heard this, he laughed loudly, as if he had heard some funny joke.

"What are you laughing at?"

Chen Lin asked in a deep voice.

The figure smiled and said, "Since the poor monk cultivated the rope to heaven, no one has been able to hurt the life of the poor monk. ”

Without saying a word, Kou Ji pulled out a grenade from his cuff, pulled out the fuse, and threw it out.

"Firearms?!"

The figure actually knew the grenade.

When Koji throws the grenade, he quickly backs away.

The grenade exploded where the figure had landed, and the snake entrenched on the ground was torn apart.

A piece of snake meat fell at the feet of Chen Lin and Kou Ji.

Chen Lin stepped on it with his foot and couldn't help but say, "It's really a trick......

The snake meat was not really snake meat, but it was made of small bamboo knots, and what fell at the feet of Chen Lin and Kou Ji was a bamboo knot that fell from the bamboo snake.

After the grenade exploded, the figure reappeared in its previous position, and he stared at Kou Ji with sparkling eyes and said, "Kou Shumi's use of firearms to make such a loud noise, is it to lure all the people in Ruian Town over, and to take down the poor monk with their hands?" ”

Kou Ji didn't answer the figure's question, but asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

The figure slowly put away the smile on his face, and said lightly: "The poor monk thinks that Kou Shumi is probably going to get rid of it." Because before the people of Ryan Town arrived here, the poor monk had already taken off the head of Kou Shumi. ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "Then what are you waiting for......

As soon as the figure raised his hand, two flames shot towards Koji.

Koji hurriedly dodged.

The figure quickly pounced into the main hall, opening its mouth and spewing out a ball of fire.

Koji continued to dodge.

The figure is in hot pursuit.

Just as the figure and Kou Ji were chasing, Lu Ming stood under a pillar in the main hall and quietly pulled the rope attached to the pillar.

Kou Ji hid to the side almost as Lu Ming pulled the rope.

"Boom......"

The figure was just about to chase after him.

Two waves of arrows poured down.

The dense arrows pierced the figure into a hedgehog, piercing it through.

"Trick Monk?!"

Just as Kou Ji and Chen Lin were about to go over for the autopsy, an exclamation sounded outside the main hall.

The two figures dodged into the main hall, holding their swords, and went straight to Kou Ji's front door.

Seeing this, Kou Ji was about to order Lu Ming to use a killer weapon.

But when he saw that the person who was fighting with the dumb tiger, he suddenly swung away the dumb tiger's knife and killed the two who rushed into the main hall from behind.

The two of them were indomitable in assassinating Kou Ji, and they couldn't care about the back at all.

So the one who killed them from behind, poof, puff, puff, two swords reaped the lives of the two.

The sudden change stunned everyone inside and outside the main hall.

After the man had reaped the lives of the two men, he put away his sword and stood up, revealing his true face.

But he is a Taoist in his forties, with black hair and black beard, and a face like jade.

"I have seen the Kou Privy ......"

The Taoist bowed slightly to Kou Ji.

Chen Lin stared at Daodao: "It's actually your ......"

Kou Ji was slightly stunned and hesitated: "Another person sent by the official family? ”

Chen Lin nodded slowly.

Kou Ji couldn't help but say, "Didn't you control the instrument supervisor before?" Why don't you seem to know each other very well? Otherwise, when he first appeared, why didn't you recognize him. ”

Chen Lin's face was a little ugly and said: "After the first emperor ascended the throne, he sent him out to look for traces of the gods, and our family has seen him less than three times. So I know him, but I don't know him. ”

Kou Ji sighed with emotion: "There is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the palace. ”

At this time, the Taoist spoke: "Now is not the time to speak, leave here first." ”

Kou Ji frowned slightly.

The Taoist hurriedly explained: "Someone has gone to drug those bamboo bears for you, and it won't be long before those bamboo bears rush over." ”

"What medicine?"

"Ten times the amount of acacia scattered ......"

“……”

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he scolded in a low voice, "Beast ......"

After scolding, Kou Ji hurriedly instructed Lu Ming, "Quickly, take the other brothers and leave the courtyard." ”

Lu Ming nodded, quickly walked to the edge of a wall in the main hall, lifted one of the wooden boards, and revealed a portal.

Inside the portal, there were people standing densely.

One by one, they stood there without saying a word, with muskets in their hands.

In the middle of the crowd, there was also a cannon that had been filled with projectiles, and the muzzle of the cannon was facing the main hall gate.

Seeing this, Chen Lin exclaimed in shock: "You actually hid someone!" ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Nonsense! How can I deal with those assassins without Tibet? ”

"But...... Aren't you afraid of being discovered? ”

"They were hiding here before I was ready to lure the snake out of the hole. The first time the Assassins were assassinated, I told them to stay put, which was enough to reassure them. ”

Chen Lin still had questions, but Kou Ji didn't explain much.

Because on the side of the big bamboo garden, there was already a roar.

Kou Ji ordered someone to help Chen Lin, and the group quickly left the Kou Mansion Courtyard.

Out of the Koufu Annex, the door to the Koufu Annexes was immediately sealed.

"Hoo ......"

Standing outside the courtyard of Kou Mansion, Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief, listening to the roar in the courtyard, the corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched: "Drugged the bamboo bear, they are really crazy." ”

Chen Lin gasped and said, "In order to deal with you, they can do anything." ”

Kou Ji sighed and didn't speak again.

When Kou Ji and his party appeared at the gate of the Koufu Annex, the lanterns quickly converged to the Koufu Annex.

It wasn't until the lantern approached that Kou Ji and his party could see the figure behind the lantern clearly.

Those figures were all citizens of Ryan Town.

After hearing the movement of the Koufu Annex, they gathered in front of the Koufu Courtyard again.

Koji himself intervened and told the people that they were all right and told them to go back.

After the people repeatedly confirmed that Kou Ji was not in danger, they left the front of the Kou Mansion Courtyard.

Before leaving, more than 300 people were left to guard Kou Ji.

The group stayed outside the courtyard of Koufu, listening to the bamboo bears raging in the courtyard of Koufu, and tossed for a night.

During this time, Koji asked the Taoist, "How did you get involved with those Assassins?" ”

The Taoist replied: "I grew up in the Taoist temple since I was a child, and when I grew up, in order to help the first emperor seek miracles, I traveled all over the world and became a lot of monks. The lowly position has never revealed its identity, and they don't know the identity of the lowly position, they only think that the lowly position is a wild Taoist who travels all over the world.

They know that the lowly martial arts are strong, so when they assassinated you, they specially approached the lowly position, promised a lot of money, and asked the lowly position to help.

Thus the lowly position was mixed with them. ”

Kou Ji said thoughtfully: "I have heard that there are many powerful people in the family for a long time. But the person who assassinated me this time, except for some tricks, I didn't see anything powerful.

Could it be that the powerful people in the monks are all like this? ”

The Taoist glanced at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "The assassination of you this time is just some demon and wild monks, and the really powerful characters have not made a move. ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, looking suspicious.

The Taoist said in a deep voice: "What is going on in the Buddhist family, I don't know if I am lowly. But I know that in the Taoist lineage, there is a living immortal who has blocked other Taoist masters for you. ”

Kou Ji stared at the Taoist with a strange expression, "Living immortals? ”

The Taoist seemed to see the doubts in Kou Ji's heart, so he explained: "Whether it is a living immortal or not, I don't know if I am a lowly person, I only know that she is very famous in the south, and she is called a living immortal by the local people." ”

Kou Ji didn't believe in any immortals, so after hearing the words of the Taoist, he said with a mocking face: "I can't imagine that I, the culprit who deals with the world's monks, will be blessed by the living immortals among the monks." ”

The Taoist glanced at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice, "She stopped other Taoist masters, but not to save you. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and narrowed his eyes, "He's going to assassinate me personally?" ”

The Taoist pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I can't say ......."

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "Then I really want to meet this living immortal who can suppress all the Taoist masters in the world." ”

The Taoist didn't speak, and Kou Ji didn't ask who the living immortal in the Daoist mouth was.

It was dawn.

The bamboo bear in the courtyard of the Koufu annex stopped making noise.

Kou Ji couldn't bear to see what those bamboo bears had become after making a fuss all night.

He handed over the Koufu Courtyard to Lu Ming to clean up.

He took the people back to the Koufu mansion in Bianjing City.

Went through a series of assassinations.

Many of the rats hidden in Bianjing City have been lured.

The rest either gave up the assassination or chose to continue hiding.

Kou Ji didn't need to worry about being assassinated for the time being, and the Manchu civil and military didn't need to worry about the assassination being implicated in them.

The matter is over.

After Kou Ji returned to Bianjing, he just caught up with the early dynasty.

Early Chaochao will be at the meeting.

On the grounds of protecting Kou Ji's safety, Lu Yijian asked Zhao Zhen to give Kou Ji an official residence and let Kou Ji live back in Bianjing.

Although there is a house in Koufu.

But in order to let Kou Ji move back to Bianjing City to live, Lu Yijian became very generous.

When investigating and dealing with the industry of Daxiangguo Temple, there is a mansion in the industry of Daxiangguo Temple, opposite Kaifeng Mansion, adjacent to the state bridge, covering an area not smaller than the mansion of Koufu, and there are pavilions and pavilions, gardens and fish ponds inside.

Lü Yijian proposed to give this mansion to Kou Ji.

Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai agreed.

In the end, Zhao Zhen made the decision and gave this mansion to Kou Ji as Kou Ji's official residence.

Kou Ji had expected this for a long time.

So when Zhao Zhen gave the official residence, he accepted it without thinking about it.

After returning to the house, Lu Ming reported that it was the bamboo bear in the courtyard of Koufu, and after the commotion, there was not one out of ten, and only some cubs remained.

Kou Ji instructed Lu Ming to bury the big bamboo bears, and then sent his servants back to the courtyard to take care of the little bamboo bears.

Kou Ji has moved out of the Koufu Annex, and there will be no more danger in the Koufu Annex.

Those little bamboo bears live in the courtyard of the Koufu Annex, and they should grow up in peace.

After having settled the bamboo bear.

Kou Ji sent someone to repair his new official residence, chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and moved his family to the new official residence.

Just as Kou Ji was taking his children and the family to inspect the new mansion lively, Lu Ming hurriedly appeared beside Kou Ji and reported in a low voice: "Young master, there is a Taoist aunt outside the door, saying that she is here to give a gift." ”

As soon as Xiang Yan heard that it was a monk, she looked at Kou Ji nervously.

Kou Ji smiled and said: "Since you are here to give fate, it means that the other party has no malicious intentions, you don't have to be nervous." ”

Xiang Yan worried: "It's better to be careful......

Kou Ji nodded slowly, "Don't worry, I'll deal with it carefully." ”

After saying this, Kou Ji said to Lu Ming: "You take that Dao Gu to the main hall and wait." ”

Lu Ming agreed and left Kou Ji's side.

After Kou Ji returned to the room, he changed his clothes and rushed to the main hall.

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw a beautiful Taoist aunt standing in the main hall.

That Daogu was beautiful, more beautiful than any woman Kou Ji had ever seen.

There is a quiet aura on the body, which gives people a very comfortable feeling.

Kou Ji couldn't help but look at it twice.

After Aunt Dao entered the main hall, she saw Kou Ji.

When Kou Ji looked at her, she was also looking at Kou Ji.

After looking at each other.

Kou Ji sat down on a chair in the main hall.

Seeing this, Aunt Dao was a little more surprised in her eyes.

"Kou's secret is really extraordinary......"

Dao Gu spoke slowly, and her voice was very gentle.

Kou Ji said indifferently: "You are the same." ”

Dao Gu bowed slightly, "Poor Dao He Qiong, I have seen Kou Shumi's ......"

When Kou Ji heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and said with a look of surprise: "You are the living immortal who is praised by the people......

Dao Gu said with a smile: "Although Poor Dao is a monk, he has never seen an immortal so far, and he knows that he is not a living immortal. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "You are really the living immortal praised by the people. ”

Dao Gu had a smile on her face and didn't say anything more.

Dao Gu just said that she was not a living immortal, but she did not deny that the people praised her as a living immortal.

Kou Ji said with emotion: "I thought that the living immortals were like Chen Jun, with white hair and white beards, and fluttering sleeves, but I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful living immortal.

I once heard people say that you, a living immortal, were born in the Tang Dynasty, and if you calculate carefully, you are now a hundred years old.

How did you live to be 100 years old and still have the same look? ”

Dao Gu laughed in a low voice: "It's just a rumor, and Kou Shumi also believes it." ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently, "I didn't believe it before, and I don't believe it even more now." ”

Dao Gu smiled and said, "Isn't Kou Shumi's going to ask about the purpose of Poor Dao's visit?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Didn't you tell my servant before, saying that you were giving a fate?" ”

Dao Gu nodded slowly, and asked again: "Then Kou Shumi doesn't want to know, is Poor Dao here to give away some fate?" ”

"Don't want to know!"

Kou Ji said calmly.

Dao Gu's smile stiffened slightly, "Kou Shumi is really different. ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently and did not speak.

Dao Gu stared at Kou Ji and said frankly: "Kou Shumi's family member has entered the world, and the poor Dao has to cross Kou's secret birth." ”

Kou Ji was stunned, "You want to cross me to become a monk?" ”

Dao Gu nodded slowly.

Kou Ji stared at Dao Gu and said seriously, "Do you think it's possible?" ”

Dao Gu chuckled and said, "Kou Shumi has a relationship with my Taoist. ”

Kou Ji laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm greedy for money, lustful, like to kill, and more attached to Hongchen, how can I have a relationship with Taoism?" ”

Dao Gu did not answer Kou Ji's question, but said to Kou Ji: "The poor road is waiting for you in the Sanqing Temple outside the city, and when you are about to be born, you will go to the Sanqing Temple to find the poor road, and the poor road will cross you." ”

Before Kou Ji could speak again, Dao Gu had already given a salute and exited the main hall.

Kou Ji lost his mind a little after Dao Gu left.

"He Xiangu?"

Kou Ji muttered to himself.

Kou Ji vaguely remembered that there were many records about He Xiangu in later generations.

It is recorded that her common name is He Qiong, and she was born in the Kaiyao period of Tang Gaozong.

It is also recorded that her common name is He Xiugu, and she was also born in the reign of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.

There are also records that her common name is He Xiang, and she is the child daughter-in-law of a family surnamed He.

In short, there are many rumors and records about her, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Among the many rumors, there is a very interesting rumor, that is, Zeng Minxing of the Southern Song Dynasty, recorded in his book "Duxing Magazine" that Di Qing passed through Yongzhou in his early years when he was fighting for Nannong, and heard that He Xiangu could predict good luck and evil, so he specially went to inquire about the outcome of the war, and He Xiangu said: "The public does not need to see the thief, the thief is defeated and leaves." At first, Di Qing did not believe it, and later the vanguard of the Song army fought with Nannong Zhigao's soldiers, and after a few rounds, Zhigao was defeated and fled into Dali.

Kou Ji associated her with He Xiangu precisely because of her layman's name and the "Duxing Magazine" written by Zeng Minxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Of course, the "Duxing Magazine" written by Zeng Minxing in the Southern Song Dynasty is not a history book, so what is recorded in it may not be true.

But whether it's true or not, Kou Ji thinks he is He Xiangu.

Why?

Because Uncle Cao Guo has seen it all, there is nothing to make a fuss about if there is another He Xiangu.

He Xiangu bluntly said that she wanted to cross Kou Ji to become a monk, and Kou Ji felt that she was delusional.

He Xiangu did not stay in the mansion, nor did she do anything to assassinate him, but helped him block many assassins.

Kou Ji didn't bother to bother with her, and he didn't bother to deal with her.

She is willing to live in the Sanqing Temple outside the city, so she will live.

Koji wouldn't be going anyway.

Then, Kou Ji doesn't care about He Xiangu, it doesn't mean that others don't care about He Xiangu.

An extremely famous living immortal entered Bianjing City, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone in Bianjing City.

Among them is Zhao Zhen, the first person in the Great Song Dynasty.

He Xiangu visited Kou Mansion on the morning of the third day, and after the court.

Zhao Zhen left Kou Ji behind and took Kou Ji to the Shishitang.

One entered the capital office.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but ask: "Fourth brother, is it true that it is rumored that He Xiangu has the appearance of a fairy?" ”

Kou Ji originally thought that Zhao Zhen would discuss some state affairs with him, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to ask He Xiangu as soon as he opened his mouth.

Koji didn't know what to answer.

After thinking for a while, Kou Ji asked, "Who did the official family listen to, He Xiangu has the appearance of a heavenly immortal?" ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it all like this in Bianjing City?" ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "Can you believe the rumors?" The woman who called herself He Xiangu, the minister had seen it with his own eyes. The face is mediocre, the figure is mediocre, and the conversation is even more vulgar. There is no merit in the whole body, so the official family does not have to worry about it. ”

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji suspiciously, "But I heard that He Xiangu is far more beautiful than ordinary women." ”

Kou Ji said very seriously: "What the minister has seen with his own eyes, how can it be fake." ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he immediately lost interest in He Xiangu.

Seeing Kou Ji staring at him with strange eyes, Zhao Zhen coughed dryly and said, "I was just curious, and I didn't mean to covet her beauty." ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes.

He didn't believe Zhao Zhen's nonsense.

Kou Ji reminded: "Official, don't forget, we have just punished the monks and cleared the temples in the world. If you covet the beauty of your family, you are likely to be taken advantage of and ruin everything we have done before. ”

Zhao Zhen coughed and said, "I know the severity. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly changed the topic and said: "The temples in the world have been cleared, and the incidents in various places have gradually subsided. Now it's time to move on to other bureaucracy.

Previously, our monarchs and ministers discussed the strategy of changing the road to the government in the Great Song Dynasty.

Lu Yijian and the three of them were busy with this.

The division of the territory after the change of roads to the government in various places, under the busy work of the three of them, there are also some eyebrows.

It's just that it hasn't been verified yet, so it's not easy to implement it all at once.

I discussed it with Lu Yijian, and we planned to choose a place and try it first to see if it was feasible.

Once feasible, it will be pushed to the whole country. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he muttered, "You have to try it first." The official family and Lu Yijian have already chosen a place? ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head slowly and said, "Lu Yijian proposed to be in Hexi, Wang Zeng proposed to be in Jiangning Mansion, and Zhang Zhibai meant Sichuan Mansion. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said: "The land of Hexi is still under governance, and most of the people in Hexi are still captives. It is not appropriate to implement a new policy in Hexi.

Jiangning Mansion is a rare rich place in our Great Song Dynasty, many rich businessmen, once the new policy has an impact on them, they will inevitably make trouble. Once they make trouble, it will be very detrimental to the promotion of the new deal in the future, so Jiangning Mansion is not appropriate.

The words of the Sichuan government are not appropriate.

There are many small tribes scattered throughout the territory of Sichuan Province, they are entrenched in the mountains and forests, and the decrees of the imperial court rarely affect them. ”
