Chapter 257 Journey to Bianjing
After Kou Hao's chess skills improved, Su Xinghe originally planned to keep Kou Hao here for a few more years, so that he could pass on all the knowledge of chess to Kou Hao.
However, Kou Hao expected that there would be a month at most, and Xuzhu would escape to the ice cellar of the Dali Imperial Palace with Tianshan Tong, and then Tianshan Tongmu and Li Qiushui would die together.
Kou Hao plans to resolve this grievance at that time, not to be a good man, but because Kou Hao learned the Tianshan Liuyang Palm and the Tianshan Folding Plum Hand from Tianshan Tong's grandmother, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness.
There are many poor people in the world who need to be saved, and if the kindness is too overflowing, in fact, it will not be able to save a few, but will tire yourself like a puppy.
However, if Kou Hao has decided on something, he must try his best to complete it, and his heart will be happy.
And in the remaining twenty days or so, Kou Hao will not be idle, and of course he will not go to the Xixia Palace in advance to wait, wouldn't that be a waste of life?
These days, Kou Hao has already thought about it, so he will go to the vicinity of the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, and go to ask Li Xiangonggong, the founder of the Sunflower Treasure Book, for a few tricks. As for whether he could meet Huang Shang, Kou Hao felt that this possibility was very small, after all, Kou Hao had patiently advised Huang Shang that after he returned to the capital this time, he would immediately take the whole family away from the Great Song Imperial City and flee to Dali to save his life.
Whether it is the punishment of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, or the masters invited by the people of the Ming Sect to take revenge, it will make the Huangshang family ruined.
"If there is fate, you can always meet again, and go to the palace to ask for the most authentic sunflower treasure book kung fu. Thinking of this, Kou Hao smiled indifferently and performed the light skill of flying on the grass. As soon as the smoke slipped away, it flew away.
Mr. Su Xinghe looked at the direction where Kou Hao disappeared, and sighed deeply: "I didn't expect that there would be such a master in martial arts today. is much more powerful than the prestigious Gusu Murong Fu, but I don't know how Kou Shaoxia compares to Xiao Feng. Which is stronger and which is weaker?"
Three days later, Kou Hao arrived in Bianjing in the Great Song Dynasty, and since he got off the Drum Mountain, Kou Hao bought horses in a small market nearby to save internal strength.
Kou Hao has never forgotten what Lu Xiaofeng once said: "The prodigal son who wanders in the rivers and lakes should always be kind to himself." If you have the opportunity to ride in a horse-drawn carriage, you will never walk, and if you can afford to live in the best Tianzi room, you will not live in a slightly worse room. ”
People always try their best to be good to the person they love, but they rarely realize that they need to be nice to themselves.
Although now the Great Song Dynasty is facing attacks from Liao, Tubo and other countries. But Bianjing still seems to be prosperous, and the economy of the Song Dynasty has developed very well since Song Taizu.
The people on the street are still smiling, and the flames of war have not yet burned here, but how long can such a calm be maintained? This is unknown, Kou Hao only feels that the pedestrians coming and going are quite pitiful, but he can't change the general situation.
After all, the wheel of history will run forward according to its specific trajectory, and anyone who dares to stop the wheel of history, no matter how genius he is. will be shattered.
Kou Hao came to a very large money bank and asked the shopkeeper, "May I ask the shopkeeper, do you know that there is a minister named Huang Shang?"
"Of course, I know that His Majesty the Divine Sect once asked Huang Shang to collect and compile five thousand Dao Collections in the world. And he himself comprehended the profound Taoist martial arts from it. ”
The shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang said: "Two months ago, Huang Shang was appointed by His Majesty Shenzong as the minister of the Qin Mission, and led many master soldiers to attack the Mingjiao Guangming Peak in Kunlun Mountain. Unexpectedly, he returned with a crushing defeat. and quietly fled with his family, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”
"Then His Majesty the Divine Sect is angry, did you send a master to chase and kill?" Kou Hao smiled lightly.
"Your Majesty, of course, is very angry. Huang Shang not only didn't dare to bear his fault, but actually fled directly. Although many masters were sent to chase and kill. There's no news these days. The shopkeeper said.
"Inquire one more thing. Kou Hao said.
"Shaoxia, you've asked too much, I'm not a free consultation, so let's show some sincerity. The short and fat shopkeeper glared at Kou Hao and said.
Kou Hao smiled leisurely: "This is as it should be, but I lost." So, Kou Hao took a piece of silver and threw it to the shopkeeper of the bank, although this amount of money is very small, but people like the shopkeeper of the money are not short of money, but they have the heart to accumulate wealth, and the meaning is enough.
"Keep asking, as long as you don't ask about the big rebellion. The shopkeeper put the silver in his mouth and bit it, and listened to its reply.
Kou Hao said: "Do you know that there is a manager Li Xian in the palace?"
"I really don't know about that. Shaoxia, you actually inquired about the whereabouts of your father-in-law, could it be that you want to voluntarily enter the palace?" The shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang patted Kou Hao's shoulder and said with a smile: "You should have said it bluntly, in fact, I have a way to make you suffer less, your wounds heal quickly, and you will be in the palace in the future......"
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Kou Hao hurried away, he really didn't expect that this seemingly honest shopkeeper of the money village actually had a lot of ways to enter the palace as a father-in-law.
Kou Hao even suspected that the shopkeeper of this money bank might be his father-in-law.
In today's words, Kou Hao was also drunk, and hurriedly performed Ling Bo's micro-steps, bypassing a few streets like a phantom.
Even people like the shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang had never heard of the name of Li Xian's father-in-law, and Kou Hao didn't plan to ask anyone outside the palace, so he quickly went to the palace.
There is no need to buy another map, because Kou Hao has already been in a secluded place in the mountains and forests before, from the martial arts world through the token, he pointed out the map of Bianjing City, looked at it in detail, and remembered the location of the palace, as well as the specific layout inside.
The vicinity of the palace is heavily guarded, and there are many patrolling soldiers who are stubborn and stubborn, so that no idle people can wait for them.
Kou Hao was in an inn far away, drinking leisurely, in fact, most of the guests here were people who worked in the palace.
The martial arts of these people are not high, but they all seem to be arrogant, they always seem to be one level higher than others, and they all exude a little nobility between their words and deeds. Of course, this is just that they are emulating those high-ranking officials, and in essence, they are very inferior.
Although it is very annoying to drink here and hear these people in the palace bragging from time to time, Kou Hao ignored it in order to make his actions go smoothly tonight. So, Kou Hao sat alone by the window and drank by himself.
"Hey, boy, seeing that you are dressed as a chivalrous man, are you planning to come to the palace to find an errand?" a big man with a beard came over and sat down.
"Thanks to my attention, I just traveled here to see the majesty of the Bianjing Imperial Palace. As for being an errand in the palace, only capable people like you can do it, and I'm just a ranger who has achieved nothing. Kou Hao said very kindly.
"In that case, you should do something meaningful for the rest of us, or you can settle the bill for us. The bearded man laughed.
The people around also stood up with bad intentions and surrounded Kou Hao's table.
Kou Hao understood that if he injured these people now, it would attract more pursuers. What's more, if there is a big disturbance here, the guards in the palace will be even stricter tonight.
In order not to make the next night visit to the palace more difficult, Kou Hao decided to settle the matter amicably and amicably. But that doesn't mean that Kou Hao will agree to their request and help them settle the bill. Even if Kou Hao didn't lack this money, he wouldn't be wronged.
So Kou Hao said aloud: "It's better like this, let's try to wrestle our wrists, if there are any of you who win against me, I will pay for the winner." ”
Kou Hao's words are not arrogant, after all, he said that he also has the possibility of failure.
The bearded man immediately took the lead, but in a breath, Kou Hao's wrist was completely pressed to the table.
Next, the people present went to challenge Kou Hao in turn, but they all failed miserably, and only a few people were able to hold on for three seconds.
"I can't imagine that Your Excellency is born with divine power, and his appearance is thin and weak, but his strength is infinite, and I admire it. The bearded man arched his hand.
Although these people are very bastards, they admire powerful people, especially Kou Hao, who is still very humble.
When these people asked Kou Hao's name, Kou Hao said: "It's inconvenient to say the specific name, usually my friends call me Brother Hao." ”
The people around were stunned for a moment, they had never seen any chivalrous man with such a name, but in order to express their admiration for Kou Hao, they shouted Brother Hao one after another.
When night fell, Kou Hao left the inn, and after lurking for a while, he stayed late at night, and then he used the light skill of flying on the grass, and flew from the route that had been studied long ago to the palace.
It should be noted that in the map of the martial arts world crossing token, the architectural layout of the palace is described in great detail. Kou Hao was like being in the backyard of his house at this moment, and after a few ups and downs, he bypassed the Quyuan corridor and bypassed several palaces.
It stands to reason that the chief eunuch like Li Xian should live near the emperor's bedroom.
So Kou Hao went there to investigate, there were many flowers around, exuding a strong fragrance at night.
Suddenly, from the surrounding flower shadows, a lot of masked people came out, their bodies were very fast, holding various sharp blades in their hands, and they besieged Kou Hao fiercely.
"Good eyesight, even I can see so quickly. Kou Hao praised it, then pulled out the sword and used the Dugu Nine Sword to deal with these people.
In fact, these are the best selected in the Praetorian Guard, lurking near the emperor's dormitory, paying attention to everything and defending tightly.
In order not to let the movement be too big, Kou Hao shot ruthlessly and directly attacked and killed his vital points.
The blades slashed, and the masked men died.
They didn't even have time to signal fireworks, and they were all killed.
As for when they first discovered Kou Hao, these mask guards didn't plan to call people, after all, that would allow others to share the credit, and the mask guards felt that they had a chance to win, so they planned to quietly capture Kou Hao. (To be continued.) )
