"No background, just an ordinary citizen..."

Liu Heng felt that Kou Ji's reaction was a bit big, so he explained in a dumbfounded way.

Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng and said meaningfully: "You should understand what it means for me to help people witness marriages in the Western Regions."

Kou Ji now has 200,000 soldiers in his hands, and he holds the power of life and death in his hands. The heads of many small countries in the Western Region are more than a little behind Kou Ji.

Even if Kou Ji leaves the Western Regions in the future, his name will be sought after by the people of the Western Regions for decades.

His old headquarters in the Western Regions will safeguard his reputation for decades to come.

With Kou Ji's current status, Liu Heng would not know how much benefits the other party would receive in the future if he helped a common man witness his marriage.

Liu Heng heard Kou Ji's words, smiled bitterly, and said frankly: "Some of my subordinates were greedy and accepted a piece of dried bacon..."

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Confidant?"

Liu Heng nodded slowly.

Kou Ji complained: "In the future, I will solve the troubles I cause by myself."

Liu Heng nodded quickly and responded.

Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief and said, "Go and prepare. I will be there on the day when that guy named Lin Zhicai gets married."

Liu Heng smiled heartily, "Thank you, fourth brother..."

Kou Ji waved his hand.

Liu Heng smiled and exited the side hall.

After Liu Heng left, Fan Zhongyan, who had been silent for a long time, said with a smile: "Some people have begun to settle down in Shazhou. It seems that half of your goal, sir, has been achieved."

Kou Ji said disapprovingly: "It's too early to say this now. It will take a long time for the people to take root here."

"Tell me about what happened over there. What is the purpose of those monks?"

Kou Ji asked.

Fan Zhongyan's face straightened and he said in a deep voice: "They want to preach in Shazhou City..."

Kou Ji's face turned cold and he raised his brows.

Fan Zhongyan hurriedly added, "They want to preach among the people we brought here."

Kou Ji sneered and said: "They have preached in the Western Regions for hundreds of years and exploited the people of the Western Regions for hundreds of years. They still want to exploit the people under our rule? Tell them that it is impossible.

Let them obediently chant sutras in the Thousand Buddha Cave, and don't think about those things that are there or not.

The reason why I still keep them is not because I am afraid of them.

Rather, the murals and scriptures in the Thousand Buddha Cave are all national treasures and need someone to take care of and protect them.

If they push further, I don't mind changing a group of people."

Fan Zhongyan understood Kou Ji's thoughts and nodded decisively without saying anything more.

Kou Ji continued: "In order to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, I will send another three thousand soldiers to help you."

"Thank you sir..."

"The saplings cultivated by Mu Chong and others in the greenhouse have already taken root and sprouted. In a few days, they should be ready for planting. You will need to take a look at them then."

"Students understand..."

"..."

Kou Ji had given instructions to Fan Zhongyan, but he did not stay with Fan Zhongyan for long. He ate some simple meals with Fan Zhongyan and then let Fan Zhongyan go down to do things.

Accompanied by the men on patrol, he rode out of Shazhou City.

All the way, we rushed out along the road that was specially created by the peasants when they were reclaiming wasteland.

Along the way.

Kou Ji walked around and inspected the fertile fields cultivated by the farmers.

The fertile farmland closest to Shazhou City was first opened up by civilians.

It has been distributed to the people of Shazhou in accordance with Kou Ji's plan.

Some of the crops planted in the earliest fertile fields have already sprouted some buds.

People in twos and threes, carrying hoes, wandered in the fertile fields.

When we encounter weeds or weeds, we will easily remove them and pull them out.

When I was tired from working, I sat in the field and looked at the hundred acres of fertile land in front of me with a happy face.

Some women wearing Shazhou Uighur costumes walked through the fields, bringing water and naan cakes to the people.

The scene looked very harmonious.

After galloping for several miles, we saw more fertile fields, but the working people were still in twos and threes.

Only in Shili Land can one see a huge reclamation team.

When the farmers who were reclaiming wasteland saw Kou Ji and his entourage, they would stop what they were doing and watch Kou Ji and his entourage pass by.

"I run here every day. Do we have any treasures here?"

"I heard that a gold mine was discovered out front..."

"Shit Gold Mine. I heard that the troops sent to Huangtou Huihe were defeated and are retreating here. Our imperial envoy is going to greet the wounded soldiers."

"You know a hammer..."

"Are we right?"

"Of course not. A cousin of mine works in Shazhou City and knows a little bit about the movements of the imperial envoys. I heard that when the imperial envoys attacked the royal city, they captured many royal ladies of the Shazhou Uighurs and hid them quietly outside the city.

The imperial envoy goes out every day to have private meetings with the noble ladies of the royal family."

"Really or not?"

"Of course it's true."

"Are those royal ladies pretty? Tell us..."

"..."

The peasants gathered together in groups, speculating on Kou Ji's purpose of running out of the city.

Unrealistic rumors are flying everywhere.

One or two rumors fell into Kou Ji's ears, but Kou Ji pretended not to have heard them.

Kou Ji led the men on patrol to the junction of the desert and the oasis in Shazhou.

The men who patrolled the horse guard jumped off their horses, laid a sheepskin blanket on the ground, placed wine and meat on the blanket, and then asked Kou Ji to sit down.

After sitting down.

Ko Ji looked at the bare desert while eating wine and meat, and frowned.

Seeing this, the leader of the patrol horse guards felt a little distressed and wanted to exhort him, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

So, he set his sights on the other men on patrol.

Seeing this, the other men on patrol looked at him with wide eyes.

As if telling him...

Brother, if you ask the brothers to go out and chop someone, the brothers will keep the man and chop him until his parents can’t recognize him.

But if you ask your brothers to comfort others, wouldn’t that make it difficult for them?

…

The leader of the patrolling horse guards understood the thoughts of the patrolling horse guards through their eyes.

He glared at the men on patrol and cursed in a low voice, "A bunch of useless things..."

The men of the patrolling horse guard looked left and right one by one, pretending not to hear what the leader of the patrolling horse guard said.

The leader of the patrolling horse guards approached Kou Ji with his head in front, and said with a dry smile: "Young master, if you are worried about the safety of your wife and young master, we will go back and take a look in person.

Anyway, many things in the Western Region have been settled, and no one will say anything when you go back.

There is no need to come here all day long to wait for news, the little people will feel uncomfortable watching it."

Kou Ji put down the dagger in his hand and glanced at the leader of the patrolling horse guards, "The war at Yumen Pass is not a problem? The war at Huangtou Huihe is not a problem?"

When the leader of the patrolling horse guards heard this, he said grandly: "What is the war in Huangtou Huihe? The elite soldiers of Huangtou Huihe were defeated once by us. In Tarim, they were severely beaten by the Jishi Army in Qingtang.

I was given a lesson.

Nearly 100,000 people were captured by Qingtang. Now there are less than 30,000 to 50,000 elite soldiers left. How can they be the opponents of Zhang Yuan and General Yang.

As for the war at Yumen Pass, that’s not a problem. If you let the brothers out, they can take over Yumen Pass in one day, and they still have to spend time with Li Yuanhao?”

Hearing this, Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "If Yumen Pass is as easy to defeat as you said, it wouldn't be called Xiong Pass. Li Zhaoliang has led his troops to break through Yang Pass, and the road to Suzhou and other places has been opened.
