When Kou Ji arrived outside the boundary of Hexi, he was not in a hurry.

Instead, he stayed outside the boundary of Hexi for one day.

Kou Ji has an appointment with Siluo, the king of Qingtang.

The king of Qingtang, Jiao Siluo, promised to give Kou Ji a heavy gift when his master returned to the court.

Kou Ji did not refuse, so he waited outside the border of Hexi for a day.

Jiao Siluo wanted something from Kou Ji, so he did not dare to deceive Kou Ji.

In the evening when Kou Ji was waiting, Jiao Siluo sent someone to deliver thousands of fine horses, dozens of beauties, and two boxes of gold.

After Kou Ji took the gift from King Jiao Siluo of Qingtang, he exchanged greetings with the messenger who sent the gift, and then continued on his journey with his people.

Kou Ji and his party crossed Hexi.

The news that Kou Ji and his entourage were escorting endless supplies of food blew out like a gust of wind.

Wherever Kou Ji and his party arrived, people gathered on the roadside to watch.

The government offices of various counties, states, and prefectures had already received the message from the imperial court, so after Kou Ji and his entourage entered the country, officials from various government offices gathered at the boundary monument. As long as Kou Ji entered the country, they would accompany him throughout the journey.

.

Welcome and send off one journey after another.

The scene is very spectacular.

It's very popular.

It can be said that even if you look through the history books, you cannot find a minister who can be more victorious than Kou Ji.

Kou Ji and his party walked again and again.

It took more than two months before we returned to Kaifeng.

Zhao Zhen personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him at the boundary monument of Kaifeng.

Such a deep love that I could not find another one even if I looked through the history books.

Kou Ji remained calm all the way, but when he saw Zhao Zhen, he was slightly moved.

Before Zhao Zhen could take the initiative to greet him, Kou Ji jumped off his horse and rushed to Zhao Zhen together with Liu Heng, Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang.

"Your Majesty Kou Ji, please visit the official family..."

"Your Majesty Li Zhaoliang..."

"Your Majesty Yang Wenguang..."

"Chen Liu Heng..."

"See the official family..."

Zhao Zhen stepped forward quickly, held up Kou Ji's arms, pursed his lips, and said slightly excitedly: "Fourth brother..."

Kou Ji hurriedly said: "In front of the official family, I dare not call you brother."

Zhao Zhen held Kou Ji's arms tightly and said excitedly: "It doesn't matter... I call you Fourth Brother, it is my wish... If anyone is dissatisfied, I will punish him..."

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, a little confused about whether to laugh or cry. He cupped his hands and said, "I am scared..."

The civil and military officials behind Zhao Zhen had bitter expressions on their faces.

Zhao Zhen pulled Kou Ji and said solemnly: "Let's go... share a car with me..."

Zhao Zhen pulled Kou Ji up to Longchu. Kou Ji was the taller one and the bigger one.

A personal name popped up in Kou Ji's mind for no apparent reason.

There is no doubt about it.

What pops up in Kou Ji's mind are those guys who are either highly accomplished or unparalleled in the limelight.

It seems like everything ends badly.

Kou Ji said, somewhat dumbfounded: "I just won one Hexi..."

Zhao Zhen reminded Kou Ji seriously, "There are still more than 50 million shi of grain."

Seeing how determined Zhao Zhen was, Kou Ji could only turn his attention to Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai and others who were standing not far away.

Lu Yijian looked up at the sky, and seemed to feel that the dark clouds were covering the sun, which was a strange feeling.

Wang Zeng lowered his head and looked at the ground, and seemed to find the ants moving on the ground quite interesting.

Zhang Zhibai plucked a piece of fox hair from his cloak and prepared to use the fox hair to sew a small hole in his cloak.

Seeing this, Kou Ji's mouth twitched, he withdrew his gaze, stared at Zhao Zhen and said: "Long Chu can come, but there is one thing that must be made clear."

Zhao Zhen said decisively: "Fourth brother said frankly that I will agree to everything I can."

Kou Ji said very bachelorly: "If one day, someone says that my grandfather smokes purple smoke, there are strange lights in the ancestral house, and the dog at home has horns and long lins, don't believe it."

Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it for a moment, he realized why Kou Ji had such concerns.

It seems that in order to welcome Kou Ji back to court, he did make a bit of noise.

Some people with ulterior motives may take advantage of Kou Ji's victory to make a fuss.

When he thought of this, Zhao Zhen had an idea.

"I will not believe those lies. If someone really says that, I will ask him to provide evidence. If anyone in the country suspects that his words are false, I will punish him for deceiving the emperor."

"How about... let's take an ordinary carriage?"

Kou Ji pondered the proposal.

He believed what Zhao Zhen said, but he felt that he had already won enough limelight, and if he won again, something might happen.

He is not worried about what Zhao Zhen will do to him.

But he worries about his people.

After all, the power in his hands now is already very powerful, so powerful that he can leverage the Song Dynasty.

If someone spreads the rumor that he is wearing a yellow robe, and his people respond everywhere, it will be great fun.

Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Ji was pushing and dragging him around and refused to get on the dragon chase, so he agreed to accompany Kou Ji in an ordinary carriage.

The monarch and his ministers got on the carriage.

All the civil and military officials also got on the carriage.

The group of people drove towards Bianjing City.

On the carriage.

Zhao Zhen chased Kou Ji and asked Kou Ji about the process of fighting in Hexi. Kou Ji told Zhao Zhen everything except concealing the affairs of the patrol horse guards and the Yuanshan tribe.

Zhao Zhen was very fascinated when he heard it.

When I heard the thrilling scene, I clenched my hands nervously; when I heard the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty defeated the enemy soldiers, I clapped my hands excitedly.

Until Kou Ji finished telling everything.

Zhao Zhen calmed down his excitement and said excitedly: "Fourth Brother Hexi and his party not only helped our Song Dynasty expand its territory, but also strengthened our Song Dynasty's prestige among the barbarians.

What’s more important is that our Song Dynasty has gold and silver from Hexi and food from Hexi. Within ten years, we will have nothing to worry about.”

Kou Ji smiled and said: "It's just some small merits. Officials don't need to praise them so exaggeratedly."

Zhao Zhen shook his head, "We, the Song Dynasty, have been in the country for decades. There are some people who can conquer, and there are also those who can govern. They can conquer and govern. Besides, they can help our Song Dynasty make tens of millions of wealth and cultivate fertile land for tens of millions.

, the only person who has harvested tens of millions of dan of grain is you, fourth brother."

When Zhao Zhen said this, he laughed out loud and said: "Many changes in our Song Dynasty are all due to you, fourth brother. Others think that the success of the Song Dynasty today is due to everyone's contribution, but I have done a thorough analysis

After a while, I realized that the Song Dynasty is what it is today, all thanks to Fourth Brother, you have been working hard since you appeared."

When Kou Ji heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
