Chen Lin's old face became a little more solemn, and her eyes were staring at the figure falling from the sky outside the main hall of the Kou Mansion.
"Is it blind? Isn't it a bit too real..."
Chen Lin said to herself in a deep voice.
Kou Ji also stared at the figure outside the main hall. Unlike Chen Lin, Kou Ji didn't have a solemn look on his face, nor was he vigilant in his eyes. Instead, he was full of curiosity.
Chen Lin turned her head slightly, wanting to discuss with Kou Ji about the countermeasures, when Kou Ji looked curious, her face turned dark.
"At the moment, you don't think about how to meet the enemy, but you actually appreciate the enemy's methods."
Kou Ji stared at the long snake hanging in the air and said with emotion: "It is mentioned in "Book of Jin·Le Zhi" that the Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty was congratulated by the court, and the relic came from the west and played in front of the temple with two large ropes and two pillars. Two feet away from each other, the two women dance in pairs, walking on the ropes, meeting each other and cutting their shoulders without leaning..."
Chen Lin frowned and asked: "What do you mean?"
Kou Ji explained: "When the emperor of the Later Han Dynasty was receiving the court congratulations, the relics of the people of Tianzhu from the West performed rope skills in front of the temple. It was a miracle. Among them was a skill called Tongtian rope. This method is used now."
Chen Lin was taken aback for a moment, and said in amazement, "Is it really a blindfold?"
Kou Ji had no words, just staring at the figure outside the main hall.
Hearing Kou Ji's words, the figure praised sincerely: "Everyone is a Daoist Prisoner who is not knowledgeable and skillless. Now it seems that it is the prejudice of the world. Poor monks have built the rope for decades and used the rope for decades.
There are only a handful of people who can break through the origins of the sky rope.
Kou Shumi's ability to recognize the rope to the sky is enough to show that Kou Shumi's knowledge is far beyond ordinary people. "
Kou Ji said indifferently: "So... are you complimenting me?"
The figure smiled indifferently: "The poor monk is a sincere compliment."
Kou Ji said calmly: "Even if you praise me, I won't spare your life."
"Hahaha..."
Hearing this, the shadow laughed loudly, as if he had heard some funny joke.
"why are you laughing?"
Chen Lin asked in a deep voice.
The figure smiled and said: "Since the poor monk has cultivated the rope to the sky, no one has wounded the life of the poor monk."
Kou Ji didn't say anything. He pulled out a grenade from his cuff and threw it out after pulling the lead.
"firearm?!"
The figure actually knew the grenade.
When Kou Ji dropped the grenade, he backed quickly.
The grenade exploded in the place where the figure had left before, and the snake entrenched on the ground was blown to pieces.
A section of snake meat fell at the feet of Chen Lin and Kou Ji.
Chen Lin stepped on her foot and couldn't help but said: "It's really a blindfold..."
The snake meat is not real snake meat, but is made of small bamboo knots. What fell at the feet of Chen Lin and Kou Ji was a piece of bamboo dropped from the bamboo snake Section.
After the grenade exploded, the figure reappeared in the previous position. His eyes were staring at Kou Ji and said: "Kou Shimi used a firearm to make such a big noise. He wanted to draw everyone in Ruian town over, and wanted to use them. Did your hand take down the poor monk?"
Kou Ji did not answer the question of the figure, but instead asked, "What do you think?"
The figure slowly put away the smile on his face, and said faintly: "The poor monk feels that Priscilla Kou may have to play off. Because before the people in Ruian Town arrived here, the poor monk had already taken off Priscilla Kou’s secret. Head out."
Kou Ji raised his brows, "Then what are you waiting for..."
As soon as the figure raised his hand, two groups of flames shot at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji dodges quickly.
The figure quickly rushed into the main hall, and another fire burst out from his mouth.
Kou Ji continued to dodge.
The figure chased after him.
While the figure and Kou Ji were chasing, Lu Ming stood under a pillar in the main hall and silently pulled the rope attached to the pillar.
Kou Ji hid away almost as Lu Ming pulled the rope.
"Whhhhhh..."
The figure is about to chase.
Two arrows poured down.
The dense arrows pierced the figure into a hedgehog, piercing it through.
"Juggling monk?!"
Just as Kou Ji and Chen Lin were preparing for an autopsy, an exclamation sounded outside the main hall.
Two figures flashed into the main hall, holding long swords, and went straight to Kou Ji's front door.
Seeing this, Kou Ji was about to order Lu Ming to use his assassin.
But seeing that the man who was fighting with the dumb tiger suddenly opened the dumb tiger's knife and killed the two who rushed into the hall from behind.
The two assassinated Kou Ji in an unrelenting manner, and could not care about his back.
So the people who killed them from behind, puff puff puff, two swords killed the two of them.
The sudden change caused everyone in and outside the main hall to be taken aback.
After harvesting the lives of the two of them, the man stood up with his sword, revealing his true face.
But he was a Taoist of about 40 years old, with black hair and black beard, and a jade crown.
"The humble post has seen Comrade Kou..."
The Taoist bowed slightly to Kou Ji.
Chen Lin stared at the Taoist and said: "It's actually you..."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated: "Another person sent by the official?"
Chen Lin nodded slowly.
Kou Ji couldn't help but said, "Didn't you control the equipment supervisor before? Why do you seem to be unfamiliar with each other. Otherwise, when he first appeared, why didn't you recognize him?"
Chen Lin looked a little ugly and said: "After the Emperor Xian became the throne, he sent him out to find the traces of the gods. Our family has not seen him three times. So I know him, but I don't know him well."
Kou Ji said with emotion: "There is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the palace."
The Taoist said at this moment: "Now is not the time to speak, leave here first."
Kou Ji frowned slightly.
The Taoist hurriedly explained: "Someone is going to give you medicine for those bamboo bears. It won't be long before the bamboo bears will rush over."
"What medicine?"
"Ten times the amount of Albizia..."
"..."
Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he cursed in a low voice, "Beast..."
After scolding, Kou Ji hurriedly told Lu Ming, "Quickly, take the other brothers and leave the courtyard."
Lu Ming nodded, and quickly walked to the side of a wall in the main hall, and opened one of the wooden boards, revealing a door.
Inside the portal, crowds of people stood densely.
Holding a musket one by one, they stood silently.
In the middle of the crowd, there was also a cannon filled with projectiles, with the muzzle facing the main hall door.
Seeing this, Chen Lin exclaimed in astonishment: "You actually hid someone!"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Nonsense! How can I deal with those assassins without hiding?"
"But... Are you not afraid of being discovered?"
"They were already hiding here before I was ready to lead the snake out of the cave. When the assassins were assassinated for the first time, I told them to stand still, which was enough to dispel their doubts."
Chen Lin still has questions, but Kou Ji didn't explain much.
Because there was already a roar in the big bamboo garden.
Kou Ji ordered someone to help Chen Lin, and the group quickly left the Kou Mansion Courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard of the Kou Mansion, he immediately sealed the door to the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
"Huh..."
Standing outside the courtyard of Kou's mansion, Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief. Hearing the roar in the courtyard, Kou Ji's mouth twitched and said, "Give the bamboo bear medicine, they are really crazy."
Chen Lin gasped and said, "In order to deal with you, they can do everything."
Kou Ji sighed and did not speak again.
When Kou Ji and his entourage appeared at the gate of Kou Mansion’s courtyard, they quickly gathered to Kou Mansion's courtyard.
When the lantern approached, Kou Ji and his entourage could clearly see the figure behind the lantern.
Those figures are all people in Ruian Town.
After hearing the movement of the Kou Mansion Courtyard, they once again gathered in front of the Kou Mansion Courtyard.
Kou Ji personally came forward and told the people that it was all right, and told them to go back.
The people repeatedly confirmed that Kou Ji was not in danger, and left the front of the Kou Mansion's courtyard.
Before leaving, more than 300 people were left guarding Kou Ji.
The group guarded outside the courtyard of the Kou Mansion, hearing the bamboo bears raging in the courtyard of the Kou Mansion, and tossed all night.
During the period, Kou Ji asked the Taoist, "Why do you mix with those assassins?"
The Taoist replied: "The humble post grew up in Taoist temples. After growing up, in order to help the emperor seek miracles, he traveled around the world and strengthened many monks. The humble post never revealed their identity, and they did not know the identity of the humble post. They only served as the humble post. Is a savage man who travels all over the world.
They know that the low-ranking martial arts are high and powerful, so when they assassinated you, they specially found the low-ranking position, paid a lot of money, and asked the low-ranking position to take action.
The humble job was thus mixed among them. "
Kou Ji thoughtfully said: "I have heard that there are many powerful people among the monks. But the person who assassinated me this time, apart from some blindness, didn't see anything powerful.
Could it be that the powerful figures among the monks are all of this kind? "
The Taoist glanced at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "This time the assassination of you is only some demon monks, and the truly powerful people did not take action."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, with a suspicious expression on his face.
The Taoist said in a deep voice: "What about the Buddhism, I don't know the humble position. But the humble position knows that there is a living god in the line of the Taoist school who can block other Taoist masters for you."
Kou Ji stared at the Taoist strangely, "Living God?"
The Taoist seemed to see the doubt in Kou Ji's heart, and explained: "I don't know if it is a living god or not. Humble job only knows that she is very famous in the south and is called a living god by the local people."
Kou Ji didn't believe in any gods, so after hearing what the Taoist said, he said with a mocking expression: "Unexpectedly, I, the chief culprit in dealing with monks in the world, would actually be blessed by living gods among the monks."
The Taoist glanced at Kou Ji and said solemnly: "She stopped other Taoist masters, but it was not to save you."
Kou Ji was taken aback, and squinted, "He wants to assassinate me himself?"
The Taoist pondered for a while, shook his head, "Maybe..."
Kou Ji smiled calmly: "Then I really want to see this living god who can hold all Taoist masters in the world."
The Taoist had no words, and Kou Ji did not ask who the living god in the Taoist population was.
Time flies and it's dawn.
The bamboo bear in the courtyard of Kou's Mansion stopped making noise.
Kou Ji couldn't bear to see what those bamboo bears had become after a night of trouble.
He handed the Kou Mansion Courtyard to Lu Ming to clean up.
He took people back to the Kou Mansion mansion in Bianjing.
After a series of assassinations.
Many of the mice hidden in the Bianjing city have been drawn out.
The remaining ones either gave up the assassination or chose to continue hiding.
Kou Ji doesn't need to worry about being assassinated for the time being, and Manchu civil and military forces no longer need to worry that the assassination will affect them.
This matter can be regarded as an end.
After Kou Ji returned to Bianjing, he just caught up with the early dynasty.
Early Chaochao meeting.
On the grounds of protecting Kou Ji's safety, Lu Yijian asked Zhao Zhen to give Kou Ji an official residence so that Kou Ji could live back to Bianjing.
Although Kou Mansion has a house.
But in order for Kou Ji to move back to live in Bianjing, Lu Yijian became very generous.
When investigating the Daxiangguo Temple property, there was a mansion in the Daxiangguo Temple property, opposite to Kaifeng Mansion and adjacent to the Zhouqiao.
Lu Yijian proposed to give this mansion to Kou Ji.
Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai agreed.
Finally, Zhao Zhen took the charge and gave the mansion to Kou Ji as Kou Ji's official residence.
Kou Ji had expected this a long time ago.
So when Zhao Zhen gave the mansion, he accepted it without even thinking about it.
After returning to the mansion, Lu Ming reported that it was a bamboo bear in the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
Kou Ji ordered Lu Ming to bury the big bamboo bears, and then sent a servant back to the other yard to take care of the little bamboo bears.
Kou Ji has moved out of the Kou Mansion House, and the Kou Mansion House will no longer be in danger.
Those little bamboo bears live in the courtyard of Kou's Mansion, and they should grow up steadily.
After placing the bamboo bear in place.
Kou Ji sent someone to repair his new mansion, chose a lucky day, and moved his family to the new mansion.
Just as Kou Ji took his children and his family to visit the new mansion lively, Lu Ming hurriedly appeared next to Kou Ji, whispering a report: "Master, there is a Taoist outside the door, saying that he is here to give a gift to him. of."
When Xiang Yan heard that she was a monk, she looked at Kou Ji nervously.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Since it is here to give a gift, it means that the other party is not malicious and you don't need to be nervous."
Xiang Yan worried: "It's better to be careful..."
Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "Don't worry, I will deal with it carefully."
After saying this, Kou Ji said to Lu Ming: "You take that Taoist aunt to the main hall and wait."
Lu Ming agreed and left Kou Ji.
After Kou Ji returned to the room and changed his clothes, he rushed to the main hall.
As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw a beautiful Taoist aunt standing in the main hall.
That Taoist aunt is beautiful, more beautiful than any woman Koj has ever seen.
There is a quiet breath on the body, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Kou Ji couldn't help but glance again.
The Taoist aunt saw Kou Ji after entering the main hall.
When Kou Ji was looking at her, she was also looking at Kou Ji.
After looking at each other.
Kou Ji Da Ma Jindao took a seat on the chair in the main hall.
Seeing this, Daogu felt a little more surprised.
"Private Secretary Kou is really extraordinary..."
The Taoist aunt spoke slowly in a very gentle voice.
Kou Ji said calmly: "The same goes for you."
Taoist aunt bowed slightly, "He Qiong, poor Dao, I have seen Kou Shu Mi..."
Hearing this, Kou Ji raised his brows and said with an unexpected look: "You are the living god praised by the people..."
Taoist aunt smiled and said, "Although Pen Dao is a monk, she has never seen a god, and he knows that he is not a living god."
Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "You are really the living god praised by the people."
The Taoist aunt smiled on her face and said nothing.
Daogu only said that she was not a living god, but she did not deny that the folks praised her as a living god.
Kou Ji said with emotion: "I thought that the living gods are like Chen Tuan, with white hair and white beard, and big sleeves fluttering, but I didn't expect that there are such beautiful living gods.
I once heard people say that you, a living god, was born in the Tang Dynasty, and when you count it carefully, you are now a hundred years old.
How did you live a hundred years and still keep your face unchanged? "
The Taoist aunt laughed in a low voice: "It's nothing more than the rumor, Kou Shimi also believes it."
Kou Ji smiled indifferently, "I didn't believe it before, now I don't believe it even more."
Taoist aunt smiled and said: "Private Secretary Kou doesn't plan to ask the poor Dao about the visit?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Didn't you tell my servant before that you were gifting the fate?"
The Taoist aunt nodded slowly, and then asked: "The Privy Councillor Kou doesn't want to know, is there any fate for the poor Dao?"
"do not wanna know!"
Kou Ji said calmly.
Daogu's smile froze slightly, "Kou Shumi is really different."
Kou Ji smiled lightly and did not speak.
The Taoist aunt stared at Kou Ji and said frankly: "Kou Shumi crossed his family to join the world, and the poor road will have to cross the Kou Mi to be born.
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, "Are you going to take me to a monk?"
The Taoist nodded slowly.
Kou Ji stared at Taoist aunt and said seriously: "Do you think it is possible?"
Taoist aunt lightly smiled and said: "Kou Shu Mi has a relationship with my Taoist school."
Kou Ji laughed at himself, "I am greedy for money, lustful, like killing people, and even more attached to the world, how could I be connected with Taoism?"
Taoist aunt did not answer Kou Ji's question, but said to Kou Ji: "Pan Dao is waiting for you at Sanqingguan outside the city. When you are about to be born, you will find Pang Dao at Sanqingguan, and Pang Dao will cross you. "
Before Kou Ji could speak again, the Taoist aunt had already bowed and withdrew from the main hall.
Kou Ji was slightly lost after Daogu left.
"Aunt He Xiangu?"
Kou Ji said to himself.
Kou Ji vaguely remembered many records about He Xiangu in later generations.
According to records, her lay name He Qiong was born during the Kaiyao reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty.
There are also records that her lay name is He Xiugu, who was also born in the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty.
There is also a record that her lay name is He Xiang, and she is a child bride of a family named He.
In short, there are many rumors and records about her, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
Among the many rumors, there is one that is very interesting, that is, Zeng Minxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. In his book "Awakening Magazine", Di Qing passed through Yongzhou when he was fighting for Nannong in his early years. He heard that He Xiangu could predict good and bad, so he went there. Asking about the outcome of the war, He Xiangu said: "The public does not need to see the thief, the thief loses and leaves. 'At first, Di Qing didn't believe it. Later, the pioneer of the Song army fought with Nannon Zhigao's soldiers. Within a few rounds, Zhigao was defeated and fled into Dali.
Kou Ji linked her to He Xiangu precisely because of her lay name and the Southern Song Dynasty Zeng Minxing's "Lonely Awakening Magazine".
Of course, the "Lone Awakening Magazine" written by Zeng Minxing in the Southern Song Dynasty is not a history book, so the things recorded in it may not be true.
But no matter whether it is true or not, Kou Ji regards him as Xiangu He.
Why
Because he has seen Uncle Cao Guo, there is nothing to make a fuss about if there is another He Xiangu.
He Xiangu bluntly said that she wanted to go to Kou Ji to become a monk, and Kou Ji felt that she was wishful thinking.
He Xiangu didn't stay in the house, nor did he do anything to assassinate him, but instead helped him block many assassins.
Kou Ji didn't bother to care about her, and didn't bother to care about her.
She is willing to live in Sanqingguan outside the city, then live.
Kou Ji will not go anyway.
Then, Kou Ji didn't care about He Xiangu, it doesn't mean that others didn't care about He Xiangu.
A very famous living god who entered Bianjing City naturally attracted the attention of everyone in Bianjing City.
Among them was Zhao Zhen, the first person in the Song Dynasty.
He Xiangu visited Kou Mansion on the morning of the third day, and after going down.
Zhao Zhen left Kou Ji and took Kou Ji to Shishitang.
One into Shishitang.
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but ask: "Fourth brother, it is said that He Xiangu is a fairy, is it true?"
Kou Ji originally thought that Zhao Zhen would discuss some state affairs with him, but he didn't expect that Zhao Zhen would ask Xiangu He when he opened his mouth.
Kou Ji didn't know how to answer.
After thinking about it for a while, Kou Ji asked: "Who did the officials say, He Xiangu is a fairy?"
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said, "Isn't it all spread like this in Bianjing?"
Kou Ji calmly said: "Rumors can also be believed? The woman who claims to be He Xiangu, the minister has seen it with his own eyes. She has a flat face, a flat figure, and a vulgar conversation. There is nothing to do with the whole body, so the official doesn't need to worry about it. ."
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji suspiciously, "But I heard people say that Xiangu He is far more beautiful than ordinary women."
Kou Ji said very seriously: "How can there be fakes that the minister has seen with his own eyes."
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he immediately lost interest in He Xiangu.
Seeing Kou Ji staring at him with strange eyes, Zhao Zhen coughed dryly: "I am just curious for a while, and I don't mean to covet her beauty."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes.
He didn't believe Zhao Zhen's nonsense.
Kou Ji reminded: "Officials, don’t forget, we have just punished the monks and cleared the temples in the world. If you covet the beauty of your family, you are likely to be used by others to ruin everything we did before. At once."
Zhao Zhen coughed: "I know the severity."
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly changed the subject and said: "The temples in the world have been cleaned up, and the incidents in various places have gradually subsided. Now is the time to move other official systems.
Prior to this, our monarchs and ministers had discussed and implemented the strategy of changing the road into a government in the Song Dynasty.
The three of Lu Yijian are busy with this.
After the various places were rerouted into the government, the division of jurisdiction after the three of them was busy, and there were some eyebrows.
It’s just not verified, so it’s not easy to spread across the country all at once.
I discussed with Lu Yijian and decided to choose a place and try it first to see if it works.
Once feasible, push to the whole country. "
Hearing the words, Kou Ji pondered: "You have to try first. The official family and Lu Yijian have already chosen a place?"
Zhao Zhen slowly shook his head and said: "Lu Yijian proposed to be in Hexi, Wang suggested to be in Jiangning Mansion, and Zhang Zhibai means Chuan Mansion."
Kou Ji thought about it for a moment and said: "The land of Hexi is still under management. Most of the people in Hexi are still prisoners. It is not appropriate to implement the New Deal in Hexi.
Jiangning Mansion is a place of wealth that is rare in the Song Dynasty. Many rich businessmen, once the New Deal affects them, they will inevitably cause trouble. Once they get involved, it will be very detrimental to the promotion of the New Deal in the future, so Jiangning Mansion is not appropriate.
Chuanfu's words are not appropriate.
There are many small tribes all over the territory of Chuanfu. They are entrenched in the mountains and forests, and the decree of the court rarely affects them. "
