Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 105 The Clever Hou Guoyu
This courtyard is located near Taixue, with a bamboo forest, a garden, a three-story main building, and two other courtyards.Li Kuan opened the wide light blue wooden door, slowly pushed it open, and he saw a lush garden.

"What kind of plants are these?"

As Li Kuan walked into the garden, Zhang Suohao frowned and looked at the strange plants with different shapes and strengths around him. He pointed to a huge purple flower and asked, "Why is this thing so ugly?"

"Don't look at it as ugly, it has a lot of background."

Li Kuan on the side laughed and said quickly:

"The name of this flower is Ackerman flower, which was purchased from foreigners at a high price by Taixue's sacrificial wine. This flower can catch mosquitoes and absorb poisonous gas. Back then, the old man of Jijiu spent 500 taels of silver to buy the seeds and cared for them day and night. , in every way."

Hearing that although this thing looks ugly, it is very expensive, and it is a foreign product. The most important thing is that it can cause trouble for others. Zhang Suohao's eyes on this giant flower suddenly softened, and he admired it very much.

"What about this?"

Walking near the wobbly yellow flowers that seemed to have cute smiling faces, Zhang Suohao looked at these lovely flowers and asked with great interest: "This flower is quite cute, if you can send some to my sister?" Duo, it should be good."

Hearing this, Li Kuan almost split his waist, and his smile became even brighter: "This flower is called sunflower, which can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, store sunlight, and emit spiritual energy. The old man spent 500 taels on the wine sacrifice. Bai Yin bought the seeds and cared for them day and night, reluctant to part with them."

It was said that Zhang Suohao, who already liked these flowers, liked them even more.He was in a good mood, and said: "When I go back later, you will bring these sunflowers to Beijing with me, and your benefits will be indispensable."

"Order."

Li Kuan was all smiles, just like the bursting garlic and hot peppers lurking under the wide flower body of the sunflower, harmless to humans and animals.

After a while, the two visited the entire garden.For this garden, Zhang Suohao can be said to be very satisfied.After all, there are all kinds of rare and exotic grasses here, such as trumpet buds, sunflowers, weird-looking peas, and big purple flowers are all very interesting. The most important thing is...
These were snatched by him.

Whoops, this is so cool.

Unsteadily, Zhang Suohao and Li Kuan walked to the end of the garden.Pushing open the wooden pear door again, you can see a verdant bamboo forest.

"Not bad."

This bamboo grove is very refreshing at first glance. Although Zhang Suohao has no ink, he is still very happy.Seeing that Zhang Suohao liked it, Li Kuan also had a smile on his face.

Like it, like it, like it.

It's not in vain that Mr. Zhou filled these bamboos with gunpowder and lime all night.

After passing through the bamboo forest, the two came to the main courtyard.

When I saw the main building, there were bright lights on both sides, and in front of it was a white wall built on the water, about two meters high, covered with black tiles, and the top of the wall was made into undulating waves. There was the faint sound of piano and music, and there were two big gilt characters written on the black plaque on the door.

【Gotham】

"Magistrate Li, what is the meaning of Gotham?"

Looking at the two gold-plated characters, Zhang Suohao was a little puzzled for a while.He has seen the one who named his yard "Fenglin Bieyuan" and "Shuxiang Pavilion", but this is the first time he has seen it in Gotham.

"Master Zhang doesn't know something."

Li Kuan at the side looked at the two characters on the top, and said meaningfully:

"Tai Xue's Jijiu often reads foreign literature, and his favorite is Zhou Ke, the great general of the Gotham Kingdom. Zhou Ke is as brave as a tiger and has extraordinary wisdom. Everyone in Gotham knows about it, so this Jijiu Liquor named the courtyard Gotham, which means that talented and virtuous people live here.”

"Yesterday, when I learned that my lord is going to visit this courtyard, this old thing actually wanted to change his name. I immediately stopped him, and I slapped him twice, and this old thing left here angrily. I thought to myself, our lord Zhang belongs to this Daming." Zhou Ke, want to change the name of this old thing? How decent is it!"

Needless to say, those who have been to Beijing are different. Li Kuan's flattering words can be described as gentle and slow, smacking and slapping, and each palm is slapped on Zhang Suohao's heart.Although Zhang Suohao didn't show it on the surface, he was already happy in his heart.

"You boy, just mess with these flattering things."

Zhang Suohao cursed with a smile, and then he walked into the main building. The furnishings inside were carefully arranged, not elegant, but also luxurious.After a while, Zhang Suohao sat on the rattan chair in the hall with satisfaction, looked at the humble magistrate Li beside him, and asked with a light smile:

"County Magistrate Li, this courtyard must have taken a lot of effort."

"No, no, no, it's what villains should do."

Li Kuan shook his head again and again, but he knew that he couldn't take all the credit for himself. He leaned forward, squinted his eyes, and whispered: "But, the villain did offend the Imperial Academy. This Beiliang is located in a remote place, and the Imperial Academy has been Above our government, you see..."

"I came here just for this."

Zhang Suohao sat on the rattan chair, swayed his body slightly, and said leisurely, "Do you know what happened in Shangjing?"

"You said..."

Li Broadband asked with three points of bewilderment, three points of doubt, and three points of timidity.

"Oh, pretending, still pretending."

Glancing at Li Kuan, Zhang Suohao smiled disdainfully and said, "It's OK to be thoughtful, but don't use it on me. Don't you know about the Hongwei Building? I don't believe it."

"Ah, my lord is talking about Hongwei Building."

Li Kuan suddenly realized, and said again and again: "Then I understand, what do you want..."

After wiping his neck, a fierce light flashed in Li Kuan's eyes and he whispered: "The murderer is in Beiliang. Do you think...?"

"No, don't act rashly."

Zhang Suohao stretched out his hand and stopped Li Kuan: "If I just want to take revenge on a small third-grade spiritual energy master, do I still need to do it myself?"

"My lord means..."

Li Kuan hesitated.

"Fix the house."

Those two words gave Li Kuan a chill in his heart.

Zhang Suohao looked at Li Kuan, with a slight smile, and said softly: "Xie Jia, Zhou Li, connect the two of them to me as a line. Everyone on the line."

"Not a single one."

Bad visitor?
The good ones don't come.

Li Kuan's heart was cold, but his expression was still humble.But this time, he said with some trepidation: "My lord, this... involves too much, I'm afraid the villain..."

"How many garrisons do you have?"

Zhang Suohao interrupted him impatiently.

"Two 260 people."

Li Kuan said in panic.

"You order to move, how many people can there be?"

"Less than 60 people."

Frowning, Zhang Suhao continued to ask: "Who is in charge of the other 200 people?"

"A new headhunter."

Li Kuan lowered his head and said, "I'm not at peace with you, the next official."

"What is this person's name?"

Hearing this, Li Kuan's eyes flashed with joy, and he said:

"Surname Hou..."

"Famous country jade."

"Full name, Hou Guoyu."

"Repeat again."

In the barracks of the garrison, Hou Jue held a long knife and said in a low voice, "My name is Hou Guoyu, a fourth-grade Lingqi master, and I use a big lightning rod, which is what people in the world say."

"Yes."

Zhou Li nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Suohao will definitely find you in these two days, and Hou Guoyu is your new name during this time."

"no problem."

Hou Jue nodded, then he frowned, and asked inexplicably, "So, why do I have to change my name?" "It didn't need to be changed."

Zhou Li sighed, and said a little speechlessly: "Who would have thought that you insulted the parachutist at a banquet with more than 300 people as a braggart, and everyone in the Thirteenth City of Beihuan knows your name. If you say your real name, People can react immediately.”

"Too."

Hou Jue nodded, and argued: "But the parachutist is really a braggart, he is like a late third-rank man, he can't go up and down..."

"stop."

Zhou Li knew why Hou Jue was demoted again and again, and finally pushed him to the end.As far as this nonsense is concerned, high EQ says there is no taboo, and low EQ is a pile of slop.But what Zhou Li needs most now is this broken mouth.

"correct."

Seeing Zhou Li was about to leave, Hou Jue quickly spoke and asked, "Then what should I do if Zhang Suohao finds me?"

"What is he here for?"

"Take me in."

Hou Jue scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Now that I have a troop order for 200 people, you should recruit me... right?"

"Yes, he will recruit you."

Zhou Li looked at Hou Jue and said calmly: "He will entertain you, and then you can just play normally."

"Functional?"

Hou Jue froze for a moment, puzzled and said:
"How do you count as normal performance?"

"It's simple."

Zhou Li looked at Hou Jue with a mysterious smile on his face.He whispered a word, and after that, Hou Jue knew what he should do.

"Young Master Hou, don't come here without any problems."

In the largest restaurant in Beiliang City, Zhang Suohao, who was wearing a bright red embroidered robe, looked at Hou Jue who opened the door and entered, with a bright smile on his face: "Why? This small place in Shangjing can't accommodate your big Buddha." , let the mighty Thunderbolt change his name and come to Beiliang to make a living?"

Suddenly, Hou Jue was stunned.

This was discovered?

There is no such item in the plan?

"Are you sure Hou Jue can play it well?"

In the classic cabin of the old pedant, Zhou Li, Guo Lingyun, and the old pedant gathered together, and Zhou Shuang'er leaned gently on Zhou Li, telling him what happened in the restaurant.

"play?"

Faced with Guo Lingyun's worries, Zhou Li glanced at him and then said matter-of-factly: "I have no intention of letting Hou Jue play Hou Guoyu."

"what?"

Guo Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "No, what does this mean? Why don't I understand?"

"Zhang Suohao is not an idiot. Before he came here, he had investigated everything in Beiliang."

The old scholar on the side shook his teacup and said slowly: "Hou Jue, you, Qianhu, and Zhou Li, Zhang Suohao already knew what you did, when you came to Beiliang, and when you did it. what."

"So, he already knew Hou Jue's identity. This Hou Guoyu was just used by me to deceive Hou Jue."

Zhou Li took the teacup, shook it, took a sip, and then said to the bewildered Guo Lingyun, "You think I want Hou Jue to pretend to cling to Zhang Suohao at the banquet and ambush him?"

"Ah, why not?"

Guo Lingyun looked at Zhou Li suspiciously, but still didn't understand what he was going to do.

"That doesn't make sense."

The old pedant leaned on the back of his chair and said leisurely:

"The garrison army is not as strong as you think. Those who enter the garrison army are generally first-rank spirit energy masters, and the weakest of the Imperial Forest Army is also a second-rank one. Zhang Suohao wants these 200 soldier symbols because he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. Let the news spread. In short, what Zhang Suohao needs is for the two hundred guards to stand still, that's all."

"So, it doesn't matter whether Hou Jue, who controls the soldier talisman, returns or not."

Zhou Li watched everything that happened in the restaurant through Shuang'er's eyes, with a look of anticipation on his face.

"Whether he can speak or not is the most important thing."

"you know me?!"

Hou Jue looked at the feminine man in front of him warily, and bowed slightly.

"of course."

With a smile on his face, Zhang Suohao said: "At the banquet that year, Brother Hou angrily scolded the parachutist for bragging about a few times, but the words of Brother Hou's angrily rebuked the general. But I can vividly remember Brother Hou's demeanor."

Hou Jue was taken aback for a moment, then his heart sank.He knew that his plan to pretend to be latent had ended before it even started.

"So, what do you want from me?"

Frowning, Hou Jue asked in a deep voice.

"Simple."

Zhang Suohao smiled. He looked at Hou Jue with a hint of arrogance in his tone: "After you offended the parachutist, you hid your identity and sneaked into Beiliang to join a hundred households of the garrison. Is it right?"

Hou Jue said nothing, but still looked at Zhang Suohao vigilantly.

"Brother Hou, don't you think this world is unfair?"

Looking at Hou Jue who was very vigilant towards him, Zhang Suohao just smiled and said nonchalantly:

"You are a majestic thunderbolt, a fourth-rank spiritual master, and a fifth-rank dragon and tiger aura when you were in Jinyiwei. With both qi in your body, you have solved countless cases in Shangjing, but why are you still just a small one until you are stripped of your official title?" Captain, do you know why?"

Walking to Hou Jue's side, Zhang Suohao said softly with a flat but confident smile:

"The case you solved made me very unhappy. So, a trash who doesn't study or practice martial arts, and is polluted by eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, because my sister's surname is Zhang, so I can let you get out of Jinyiwei. That's all."

Hearing this, Hou Jue's blood surged immediately, and he finally understood why he had only drank two taels of rice wine at that time, and then suddenly uttered wild words.At first, he always thought that his mouth was not guarded, but now it seems that someone harmed him.

"Don't look at me like that."

Looking at Hou Jue, who was panting like an ox and with sharp eyes, Zhang Suohao took a step back and said somewhat depressedly:
"It's true that you scolded the parachutist. I didn't expect it. I was also frightened by you at the time. If I really want to remove your Jin Yiwei, I can just find a reason. Why do I have to go to such trouble?"

Hou Jue calmed down, and then he remembered that he had to brag and replaced the yellow ones with white ones.

"However, it's a fact that you have strength, but now you want to live in such a remote and wild place as a small family. You say, if you are like Guo Lingyun, it's fine if you are a family of Jinyiwei, but..."

Spreading his hands, Zhang Suohao said to Hou Jue mockingly, "Don't you feel a bit ashamed that you have two hundred guards with you?"

Approaching Hou Jue, Zhang Suohao narrowed his eyes and asked softly: "Brother Hou, you don't want to waste your life here, right?"

Facing Zhang Suohao, who seemed to be in control of everything, Hou Jue suddenly became angry for no reason. He put on a smiling face and was about to speak when he was stopped by Zhang Suohao on the opposite side.

"Hey, Brother Hou, let's eat and eat. This table of good food can't wait to be cold. Come quickly."

At this time, Hou Jue realized that in the dining hall, a group of imperial guards who did not know when they appeared were watching him quietly.Hou Jue was not afraid, snorted coldly, flicked his long sleeves, and sat opposite Zhang Suohao.

Trying to piss me off.

Looking at Zhang Suohao who raised his wine glass and invited him to drink the immortal wine together, Hou Jue's eyes flickered with madness.

Then don't play.

"Right, that is it."

Through Zhou Shuang'er's eyes, Zhou Li looked at Hou Jue, who had joined Jiajing, with a wider smile on his face.

This is what I want Hou Jue to be.
