"However, even if they want to come, they won't choose tonight."
Chen Lin suddenly said something.
Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin in a bit of astonishment.
Chen Lin said frankly: "Not only your grandfather and your wife are worried about your safety, but the officials are also worried. The officials not only sent our family to your house, but also secretly sent people from Wu Desi to lead a team of Yulin Wei, lie in ambush not far from your house."
Kou Ji looked stunned and didn't know what to say.
Zhao Zhen is kind to do bad things.
Kou Ji couldn't complain.
Because Zhao Zhen did bad things with good intentions, it was also for him.
Chen Lin said indifferently in Kou Ji's stunned look: "Those monks who can escape the search by the Five Cities Soldiers and the Inspection Division, there are still some means of hiding.
People who are good at hiding are good at finding those who are hiding in the dark.
There are more than 600 people from Wu Desi and Yulinwei.
The target is so big, it is impossible for the monks to find it. "
Kou Ji said dubiously: "They know that there is an ambush, so naturally it is impossible to show up."
Chen Lin nodded slowly.
Kou Ji sighed, stood up and ordered, "Since the monks won't come tonight, let's leave."
Lu Ming and the guard leader looked at each other, bowed to Kou Ji, and left the main hall of the Kou Mansion's courtyard.
The head of the guard went to guard the gate.
Lu Ming went down to arrange a place for Chen Lin to live.
Chen Lin still sat in the main hall eating and drinking for herself.
Kou Ji didn't say anything, and walked back to the study.
Because Zhao Zhen sent more than 600 people to ambush outside the Kou Mansion Courtyard, the monks who scared him did not dare to show up, so the Kou Mansion Courtyard was calm all night.
The next day.
After getting up.
Chen Lin returned to the palace to return to life, and Kou Ji entered the palace with him.
When I arrived at Shishitang, I saw Zhao Zhen pacing in the hall.
As soon as Kou Ji entered the door of Shishitang, Zhao Zhen saw him and immediately said with a smile on his face: "The fourth brother is safe and sound? It's really great."
Kou Ji saluted Zhao Zhen and said frankly: "The official sent more than 600 people to ambush outside the minister's mansion. Those assassins dared not show up, and the minister was naturally safe and sound."
"Not showing up?"
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, frowned and said, "That means the danger is still there?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "Then I will send some more people to guard the courtyard of the Kou Mansion while searching for the traces of the assassins."
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "It's useless... Since the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and the Inspection Division can't find the assassins, it means that they are hiding very deeply, and simple searches can't dig them out.
In addition to attracting the snake out of the hole, they can only wait for them to jump out.
But when they take the initiative to jump out, it will take a long time, which is very unfavorable for us.
If they were in the process of waiting and found that the residences of me, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai were tightly guarded, they would not be able to speak up.
They are likely to abandon the four of us and go against others.
At that time, all officials in Bianjing are in danger, which will have a great impact on the DPRK situation.
Therefore, we must draw them out and destroy them in one fell swoop before they attacked others. "
Kou Ji's words are not difficult to understand.
Zhao Zhen simply thought about it, and then he understood the deep meaning of Kou Ji's words.
Zhao Zhen frowned and stared at Kou Ji, "Do you want me to withdraw the manpower guarding outside your house and give them a chance to actually assassinate you?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Yes..."
"No way!"
Zhao Zhen resolutely refused.
Kou Ji bluntly said: "To this day, only in this way can we catch them all at once. Only in this way can we solve our worries. If we keep them hidden in Bianjing City, and take root.
At that time, not only the Manchu civil and military, but also the royal people will be in danger. "
Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "You are my elder brother, I can't just watch you die."
Kou Ji froze for a moment, and said with a heavy voice: "Since the officials dare to see them alone, they naturally have the means to protect themselves, so the officials don't have to worry about them."
Zhao Zhen said with a strong attitude: "How could I not be worried. Although I don't like monks, I have never seen any monks, but I still know some of the methods of monks.
Many of them have some unpredictable methods.
Those masters of the equipment supervisor may not be able to deal with it anymore.
What do you respond to. "
Kou Ji solemnly said: "The minister has known the officials for more than ten years. Has the official ever seen the minister do anything uncertain?"
Zhao Zhen hesitated after hearing this, but did not speak.
From the time he knew Kou Ji to now, Kou Ji has really rarely done anything unsure.
It's just that Kou Ji is going to commit the danger alone this time. Even though Kou Ji is sure to deal with the monks, Zhao Zhen still has some worries in his heart.
Seeing that Zhao Zhen didn't say a word, Kou Ji continued: "The minister can guarantee to the official that after this incident, he will definitely appear in front of the official."
Zhao Zhen still closed his mouth, without words.
Kou Ji thought for a moment and said: "Officials, the matter involves the safety of the Manchu civil and military, as well as the safety of the royals. Neither you nor I can hesitate, let alone allow those assassins to keep hiding in Bianjing."
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he finally spoke. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can evacuate the people who are ambushing outside the courtyard of the Kou Mansion. But you can't commit the risk alone. You must choose two masters from the equipment supervisor and follow them. at your side.
I will tell the equipment supervisor to block the sword for you when necessary.
You must remember that your fate is their fate.
When it is time to abandon them to save their lives, don't hesitate. "
Hearing this, Kou Ji sighed in his heart and nodded slowly in response to the matter.
He knew in his heart that if he didn't agree to this matter, Zhao Zhen would definitely not evacuate the people ambushing outside the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
He did not have the opportunity to lead the snake out of the hole.
Seeing that Kou Ji had agreed to his request, Zhao Zhen sent Chen Lin to the equipment supervisor and selected two masters.
One of the masters was summoned by Zhao Zhen and immediately appeared in Shishitang.
Kou Ji was slightly surprised when he saw her, because she was a woman.
The female was in her mid-thirties, her appearance was unremarkable, and her figure was the same. She was dressed in a simple black costume and could not be seen as a master. The only thing that stood out from the whole body was the two daggers pinned to the waist.
The other daggers on the woman's waist were a bit strange, and Kou Ji took a special look.
Seeing that Kou Ji was very curious about the dagger on the woman's waist, Zhao Zhen motioned to the woman.
The woman gave Kou Ji a salute and softly introduced: "The humble dagger is from the ancestors. It is forged with meteorite iron from the outside world. It kills without seeing blood."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slowly.
The outer meteorite iron should be the meteorite iron.
When Kou Ji watched the women's dagger just now, he saw that the material was different from ordinary iron materials, so he glanced twice more.
But he did not show any surprises.
Seeing that there was no surprise in Kou Ji's eyes, the woman looked specifically at Kou Ji.
Zhao Zhen coughed slightly, and said faintly: "You have been staying in the equipment supervisor to hone the martial arts. I don't know that besides my Secret Envoy of Song Dynasty, the fourth brother is also a divine craftsman recommended by many great masters of the Song Dynasty.
Although the meteorite iron outside the sky is rare, it is not enough to make the fourth brother look different. "
Upon hearing this, the woman looked at Kou Ji again.
Kou Ji didn't care about this, but instead asked Zhao Zhen, "Where is the other person?"
Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, and said: "The other person's identity is a bit special, and it is not convenient to meet the fourth brother at the moment. When the fourth brother needs it, he will naturally appear."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, without asking more.
He never thought of using the power of others to deal with those monks.
So no matter how special the identity of another equipment supervisor is, Kou Ji doesn't care.
Afterwards, under Zhao Zhen's repeated instructions, Kou Ji led the woman out of the palace and returned to the Kou Mansion House.
After Kou Ji returned to Kou Mansion House.
Zhao Zhen then evacuated the more than 600 people who were ambushing outside the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
That night.
Kou Ji was the same as last night, in the main hall of Kou's Mansion, set up a table of good wine and dishes, waiting for the'guests' to arrive.
Chen Lin was also the same as last night. After nightfall, she went to the courtyard of Kou's mansion in a hurry.
The only difference is that compared to last night, Kou’s residence became a man.
A woman.
The woman learned the martial art of assassination.
After entering the Kou Mansion, he hid in the dark.
It didn't take long for him to sneak into the dark, but he was thrown out.
The woman got up from the ground calmly and said blankly: "Mr. Dumb is here?"
Kou Ji didn't talk.
Chen Lin faintly said to the woman: "Kou Gong has dispatched the dumb tiger to Kou Shimi as a guard."
The woman nodded slowly and said, "Since Mr. Dumb is here, isn't it a bit redundant for me to stay here?"
Chen Lin stared at the woman and said: "We deal with a lot of enemies, and Duhu may not be able to deal with it alone."
The woman nodded and said nothing. She patrolled the main hall of Kou Mansion, found a slightly dark place, and walked over.
Seeing this, Kou Ji said to Chen Lin: "She..."
Kou Ji only said one word, and Chen Lin knew what Kou Ji wanted to ask, so she explained faintly: "Her father was also a member of the equipment supervisor. She stayed in the equipment supervisor since she was a child and did not touch foreign objects, so The temperament is a bit different from ordinary people."
Kou Ji thought about it, and asked tentatively, "Isn't the equipment supervisor in the palace?"
In Kou Ji's eyes, the woman's reaction was nothing different from ordinary people.
It's simple.
If the equipment monitor was in the palace, it would be impossible to cultivate such a simple person.
Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji and said, "The equipment supervisor is in the palace, but most of the equipment supervisors are not in the palace."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment.
Chen Lin added, "They are always bloody when they are on errands. If they often go in and out of the palace, they will easily scare the nobles."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, and did not speak any more.
Kou Ji did not ask where the equipment supervisor was.
Because Kou Ji knew that even if he asked, Chen Lin wouldn't say it.
A few people were guarding in the main hall of the Kou Mansion's courtyard.
One Shou is one night.
Until the white fish belly appeared on the horizon, no monks appeared in the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
Several people were not discouraged.
Zhao Zhen evacuated the people outside the courtyard of the Kou Mansion. It is common for the monks to observe for a night or two for safety.
in this way.
Three days have passed.
There was movement in the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
The night after three days.
Kou Ji and several people stayed in the main hall of the Kou Mansion as usual.
When the Mingyue just hangs on Zhongtian.
There were roars and screams in the big bamboo garden in the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
The woman was the first to jump out, and the leader of Kou Ji's bodyguard was the second.
Lu Ming stepped to guard at the door.
Kou Ji and Chen Lin sat in the main hall of the Kou Mansion and did not move.
Not long after the woman and the head guard of Kou Ji left the main hall, the roar and screams in Dazhu Garden gradually subsided.
Not long after.
The woman and the head of the guard appeared in the main hall of the Kou Mansion, dragging a blood-sting hula figure.
After the woman dropped the blood-stabbed figure, she hid in the dark.
The head guard dropped the figure of the blood stabbing hula, and saluted Kou Ji: "Master, three assassins broke into the big bamboo garden, injured a little bamboo bear, and aroused the ferocity of other bamboo bears.
An assassin was dragged by a bamboo bear to the depths of the big bamboo garden and torn apart.
The villain did not dare to go in.
Only the two assassins on the edge of the big bamboo garden were dragged out. "
Before Kou Ji could speak, Chen Lin nodded and said: "The wild beasts arouse fierceness. It is wise for you not to provoke it."
Speaking of this, Chen Lin looked at Kou Ji and said, "Those beasts have seen human blood, and you won't be able to raise them in the future."
Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "I saw human blood and tasted the sweetness. It will inevitably hurt people in the future. I really can't raise them anymore. I will send someone to send the bamboo bears in the big bamboo garden to the forest.
Only the cubs in the small bamboo garden are left. "
The head of the guard saw Kou Ji and Chen Lin discussing the bamboo bear. He didn't care about the two bloody figures. He couldn't help but ask: "Master, what should I do with these two people?"
Kou Ji indifferently said: "It's just two pathfinders. I can't ask anything during the interrogation. I drag it out and find a place where no one is going to bury it."
The guard leader agreed, and left the Kou Mansion courtyard with two blood-stinging figures.
After the guard leader left, Kou Ji and Chen Lin looked deeply at the gate of the dark Kou Mansion Courtyard.
Kou Ji whispered: "They are going to do it..."
Chen Lin nodded slowly.
The two of them stared at the gate of the Kou Mansion's courtyard.
Until dawn.
A faint scent drifted into the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
Chen Lin stared for the first time, "Mixiang!"
Chen Lin quickly took out a few pills from her sleeves and threw them to Kou Ji, the guard leader, Lu Ming, and the woman.
The one that was thrown at the head of the guard was one.
Two were thrown to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji knew what Chen Lin meant to give him two, and immediately threw one in his mouth, and disappeared.
After everyone got the pills, Chen Lin said in a deep voice: "Hold it in your mouth and press it under your tongue."
According to Chen Lin's instructions, Kou Ji stuffed the pill into his mouth and pressed it under his tongue.
A young yellow dog, while Kou Ji's people put pills in their mouths, quickly swayed its tail and walked into the main hall of Kou's mansion with short legs.
It didn't take long for the cheerful little short legs to stagger.
"Ah..."
He threw himself in front of Kou Ji, yelled, squinted, stuck out his tongue, and fell to the ground.
As the yellow dog fell, several figures rushed into the Kou Mansion from the gate of the Kou Mansion and the courtyard wall of the Kou Mansion, and went straight to the main hall of the Kou Mansion's courtyard.
The woman and the head of the guard, one with a dagger and the other with a long knife, killed them.
The collision of gold and iron rang after the guard leader and the woman rushed out of the main hall of the Kou Mansion House.
There were as many as fifteen people rushing into the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
They wear different clothes, some are dressed in beggar clothes, some are dressed in family clothes, and some are dressed in silk and satin.
The only thing in common is that they are all bald.
Holding swords in their hands, they rushed into the courtyard of the Kou Mansion and fought with the woman and the head of the guard.
The head of the guard held a long knife, and the swordsmanship was open and close, and he was fighting hard with the assassins.
Women are like wearing flowers and butterflies, constantly walking through the crowd.
Every time she stops, a person's life is harvested by her.
The fierce battle lasted for a while.
The woman and the guard leader two killed fifteen assassins who rushed into the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
Before they could rest, another group rushed in.
The number has reached more than thirty people.
In order to stop them, the guard leader prevented them from breaking into the main hall of the Kou's Mansion House. They fell into danger several times and were cut with six swords.
Blood flowed across the body.
The woman walked through the crowd as always, reaping her lives.
The two of them fought a full three-pillar incense for a full time, and then barely repelled the assassin, but did not kill the assassin.
The head of the guard was covered in blood.
Although there were no scars on the woman's body, her chest was rapidly rising and falling, which obviously took a lot of effort.
Kou Ji and Chen Lin sat in the main hall of the Kou Mansion from beginning to end, and did not move.
Just when the guard leader and the woman were about to take a break, the third group of a hundred people rushed into the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
Seeing this, Chen Lin raised her brows slightly and said in a low voice: "They should have a means to deal with your people, but they didn't directly kill your people, they should be forcing you to come forward."
Kou Ji had no words, stood up decisively, and walked out.
step…
Two steps...
Three steps...
The third step just settled, people have not yet left the main hall of the Kou Mansion, the dull bowstring sounded.
Three crossbow guns, in the shape of a product, passed through the gap of the crowd and shot at Kou Ji.
Chen Lin stood up subconsciously and clenched her fists tightly.
"Boom...puff..."
It's just a matter of time.
A huge iron plate fell from the entrance of the main hall of the Kou Mansion House and stood in front of Kou Ji.
Three crossbow guns, two crossbow guns were blocked behind the iron plate, and one crossbow gun made a hole in the iron plate and stuck in the iron plate.
Afterwards, a rain of arrows jingle.
Kou Ji also heard the sound of Firebolt.
Kou Ji turned around and said to Chen Lin in the clinking sound of arrows hitting the iron plate: "Firebolt, a military weapon, has been stored in the treasury after being replaced by a hundred tigers.
Among those in charge of looking at the treasury, there are eunuchs in the palace. "
Chen Lin looked a little ugly and said, "After we go back home, we will investigate this matter."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, without saying more.
Lu Ming stood behind the door, pulling a rope in his hand, and subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
What the rope touched was the iron plate that stood in front of Kou Ji.
If he pulled the rope late, Kou Ji might have been shot into a sieve.
Kou Ji stood behind the iron plate and waited until the clanging sound stopped, and ordered Lu Ming to push the iron plate away.
After the iron plate was pushed away.
Kou Ji saw the scene outside the door.
The open space outside the door was filled with arrows.
Those who rushed into the courtyard of Kou Mansion to assassinate Kou Ji were shot into a sieve by arrows and lay on the ground.
Hundreds of people were shot and killed.
On the side of the yard, the woman pulled the head of the guard tightly and hid in the dark.
There was an arrow stuck in each of them.
"It's so cruel! In order to kill me, I didn't hesitate to use more than a hundred people as dead men!"
Kou Ji stared at the corpses in the yard and said in a deep voice.
Chen Lin stepped up to Kou Ji's side and said lightly: "As long as they can kill you, they will be willing to kill you no matter how many dead."
Kou Ji did not talk to Chen Lin, but instructed Lu Ming: "You take them both down for treatment."
Lu Ming hesitated for a while, and said solemnly, "There are assassins out there!"
Kou Ji glanced at Lu Ming and said faintly: "Don't forget, this is Rui'an Town."
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, but did not speak yet.
I saw dozens of people in armor and blades rushing into the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
"Protect Xiao Kou!"
Dozens of armored blade-bearers rushed into the courtyard of the Kou Mansion. After seeing that Kou Ji was safe and sound, they breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood in front of Kou Ji one by one.
Subsequently, more and more people flooded into the courtyard of Kou Mansion.
Every one was holding a murder weapon in his hand.
Some people's murder weapons were still stained with blood.
"The villain is late and shocked you."
A leading man, kneeling on one knee, held his fist at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji heard the words and slowly nodded and said: "Those assassins outside the door can be cleaned up?"
The leading man said solemnly: "Any assassin who enters Rui'an Town, none of them can leave alive."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "That's good... count the seizures and report to me."
The leading man agreed and ordered the people to guard Kou Ji before leaving the Kou Mansion Courtyard.
Chen Lin looked at the yard with her back to Kou Ji, and the guys who stood up to the outside, sighed sincerely, "Private Kou is really popular."
Those guys should have rushed over without hesitation after hearing the shouts of killing from the Kou Mansion's other courtyard.
After arriving at the Kou Mansion, he subconsciously protected Kou Ji behind him, facing the unknown enemy with his chest.
This shows that these people are willing to die for Kou Ji.
There were more than 400 people in the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
More than 400 people are willing to die for Kou Ji, which shows how popular Kou Ji is in Ruian Town.
Kou Ji heard Chen Lin's sigh, and said calmly: "You should probably go and have a look outside."
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, separated the crowd, and hurried out the door quickly.
After just taking a look, Chen Lin returned to the main hall of the Kou Mansion with a look of shock.
"Our family can see it clearly. In this town of Rui'an, no one dares to move you brazenly."
Chen Lin gritted her teeth.
But Chen Lin was not shocked.
There are only four hundred in the courtyard of the Kou Mansion, and outside the courtyard of the Kou Mansion, there is a crowd of black people who can't see the end. Chen Lin didn't dare to count how many.
It would be over ten thousand to say less.
After all, the long streets are not filled with enough people.
