In Kou Ji's eyes, this was a very childish name, but in the Liao Kingdom, it was a very serious name.
For example, the eldest daughter of Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty was called Brother Yeluyan, the fourth daughter was called Cui Ba, the fifth daughter was called Brother Tao, the seventh daughter was called Jiu Ge, the ninth daughter was called Ba Ge, and the tenth daughter was called Tenth Brother.
There are also Tai Ge, Sai Ge, Xing Ge, etc. behind.
In the Song Dynasty, if the royal family named their daughter like this, they would be laughed out of their wits.
But in the Liao Kingdom, this was the norm.
As the princess to be married to the Song Dynasty was decided, the phoenix crown prepared by Kou Ji for Xiao Yujin, the concubine of Shun Shengyuan, was also ready.
When Kou Ji sent the phoenix crown of Xiao Yujin, the concubine of Shunshengyuan, to her residence, he did not see her.
I heard from the maid outside her tent that Xiao Yujin, the concubine of Shunsheng Yuan Dynasty, went to see Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, the Queen of Liao Dynasty, to pay homage to the Buddha.
Listening to the meaning of the maid's words, in recent days, Xiao Yujin, the concubine of Shunshengyuan, went to see Xiao Bodhisattva, the Queen of Liao, from time to time.
After Kou Ji finished delivering the phoenix crown and returned to his tent, he said with emotion: "It seems that Xiao Yujin, the concubine of Shunshengyuan, has regarded brother Xiao Bodhisattva, the Queen of Liao, as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh. She doesn't want her to live for a moment longer."
As for how Xiao Yujin, the concubine of Shunsheng Yuan Dynasty, would use lead, mercury and other substances to kill Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, the Queen of Liao Dynasty, Kou Ji didn't want to know.
He had already secretly told Concubine Shunsheng Yuan Xiao Yujin about the method. As for how she would operate, it was not something Kou Ji could interfere with.
What Kou Ji has to do now is to find Yelu Angkor, who he has tricked into becoming a commoner.
This guy's brain wasn't clever enough, so he just took advantage of it.
Kou Ji asked Agu Nie to help him find out the whereabouts of Yelu Angkor.
I found out that this guy is still raising horses.
The only difference is that when Yelu Angkor raised horses in the past, he wore a sword and armor and was followed by guards.
Today, he has nothing on him and no one around him.
He was only wearing rags and linen clothes, and in his hand was only a horse pole.
When he saw Kou Ji appearing in front of him, he roared and rushed towards Kou Ji like an angry tiger.
"Kou Ji, I'm going to kill you!"
Before the guards following Kou Ji took action, Agu Nie stood in front of Kou Ji and blocked Yelu Angkor.
He raised his hand to catch Yelu Angkor, and reminded him in a deep voice: "Angkor, Koji is His Majesty's guest, you must not be rude."
Yelu Angkor was pinched and captured by Agu, but he still showed his teeth and claws at Kou Ji, "It's him, it's him who caused me, a noble prince, to become like this."
Agu Nie frowned and said, "Your Majesty is the one who will deal with you, and it has nothing to do with Kou Ji."
Yelu Angkor roared: "But he was the one who framed me. If he hadn't framed me, how could I have been punished by my father?"
Agu Nie said coldly: "I don't know whether Kou Ji framed you. But I know that when His Majesty dealt with you that day, if Kou Ji hadn't interceded, you would have become a dead man.
We Liao people have always valued justice. We must avenge any enmity and repay any kindness.
Kou Ji saved your life, so you shouldn't treat him like this."
Yelu Angkor said angrily: "Then what do you want me to do to him? Greet him with a smile? I can't do it, I just want to kill him."
Agu pinched Yelu Angkor and said in a deep voice: "Brother Angkor, please calm down. Do you want His Majesty to kill you?"
Agu pinched these words to remind Yelu Angkor.
He is already a commoner.
If you make another mistake, you will die.
Brother Yelu Angkor gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Get out of here, I don't want to see you."
Kou Ji laughed softly and said, "Then I'll come back tomorrow."
After saying these words, Kou Ji turned around and left.
The second day.
At the same time, Kou Ji appeared in front of Yelu Angkor again.
After hearing Yelu Angkor's roar, he turned around and left again.
This went back and forth for four days.
On the fifth day.
Yelu Angkor no longer scolded Kou Ji. After Kou Ji appeared again, he stared at Kou Ji coldly and asked, "Are you trying to trick me again?"
Brother Yelu Angkor pointed at his tattered clothes and gritted his teeth and said, "I have been tricked into becoming a commoner by you. What else do you want? Do you insist on taking my life?"
Kou Ji said with a smile: "I remember that you said time and time again that you would take my life. But now I am living a better life than you."
Yelu Angkor's silver teeth clenched as he wanted to hack Kou Ji to death.
His eyes lingered beside Kou Ji for a moment, and he asked in a low voice: "Where is Agu Nie?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "I didn't call him today."
Yelu Angkor's eyes were filled with fierceness.
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said, "I advise you to give up your unrealistic ideas. If I die in your Liao camp, you will not be the only one buried with me."
When Yelu Angkor heard this, he collapsed on the ground helplessly.
"Go away..."
Yelu Angkor said in a loud voice.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The grudges between you and me need to be resolved eventually. I don't want to return to the Song Dynasty with a grudge. You don't want to live with a grudge either."
Yelu Angkor raised his head, stared at Kou Ji, and asked, "What do you want?"
Kou Ji said with a bright smile: "Let's have a fight sometime and resolve this grudge."
Yelu Angkor's eyes lingered on Kou Ji for a moment, and he said sarcastically: "Only you? Fight with me? You are looking for death."
Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "Whether you are looking for death or not, you have to fight to find out. Maybe I will kill you, maybe."
A flash of anger flashed in Yelu Angkor's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant.
He thought about the consequences of killing Kou Ji, and he couldn't afford it.
So I gave up saying harsh words.
Because he knew that if he said harsh words but didn't kill Kou Ji, he would become another subject for Kou Ji to ridicule him.
Yelu Angkor stared at Kou Ji with a sinister look and said: "You clearly know that I can't kill you..."
Kou Ji said calmly: "So I will give you a chance to kill me."
Brother Yelu Angkor raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly: "A chance to kill you?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "I have observed the camp. There is a medium-sized forest outside the camp. The trees have been cut down by warriors from various tribes, but there are still many small trees left.
At three o'clock the next night, after everyone has gone to bed, we will fight to the death there.
If I kill you, I will push your body into the woods and pass the blame on the warriors of the tribes outside.
You can use the same method."
Yelu Angkor's eyes were rolling.
He had to admit that Kou Ji's statement made him tempted.
Killing Kou Ji and passing the blame for killing Kou Ji on to the warriors of the various tribes outside is undoubtedly the most appropriate way to escape guilt.
The reason why the warriors of various tribes were blocked in the outer camp by the soldiers of the Pishi Army was because Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty could not trust them.
Afraid of assassination among them.
Over the years, under the oppression of the Liao Kingdom, countless warriors from various tribes chose to assassinate.
The barbarians hiding in the mountains and rivers always feel that this method can quickly solve the problem of oppression of their tribes.
Kou Ji saw that Yelu Angkor was moved, so he did not continue to persuade him.
He dropped the sentence, "See you the day after tomorrow at midnight."
Then left this place.
Yelu Angkor sat where he was and didn't move at all.
He was considering the authenticity of Kou Ji's words and it was already feasible.
After Kou Ji returned to the tent, he changed his clothes and went to another place.
After he came back from that place, he never went out again.
It was not until the night of the third day that he quietly got out of the tent.
However, he did not rush to the grove that he had agreed with Yelu Angkor.
Instead, he stretched out and went to Xiang Minzhong's tent.
In the tent.
Xiang Minzhong took stock of the betrothal gifts sent by Da Song.
Seeing Kou Ji, Xiang Minzhong asked: "You've been appearing and disappearing recently. What are you planning?"
Kou Ji spread his hands and said, "I have no plans."
Xiang Minzhong rolled his eyes, dropped the account book in his hand, and said disdainfully: "I believe you are up to something..."
Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Xiang Minzhong pointed to the account book he left behind and ordered: "Help me count the pearls sent by the court to see if there are enough."
Kou Ji picked up the account book, glanced at it casually, and said calmly: "There is no need to count, maybe it won't be used."
Xiang Minzhong just picked up the kettle and took a sip. When he heard Kou Ji's words, he said angrily: "Why can't it be used? The credentials of both parties have been submitted, and the Qin Tianjian has already signed the horoscope, saying that Princess Yelu Shi of Liao Kingdom
Fifth brother has the appearance of a prosperous king."
Kou Ji said suspiciously: "Why do I think Qin Tianjian is talking nonsense?"
Xiang Minzhong curled his lips and said, "That's because someone in the imperial court wants to exchange this for many years of peace between our country and the Liao Kingdom."
Kou Ji frowned and said, "My grandfather, or the Queen Mother?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "Then the marriage won't happen."
Xiang Minzhong looked at Kou Ji unexpectedly and asked, "Why are you so sure?"
After a pause, Xiang Minzhong stared at Kou Ji suspiciously and asked, "From the time you came in, you showed that you were not optimistic about this marriage. Did you do anything to ruin this marriage?"
Kou Ji remained silent.
Xiang Minzhong stroked his beard, looked at Kou Ji, and said suspiciously: "It stands to reason that if this marriage is successful, our Song Dynasty will not suffer any loss. Why do you have the intention to ruin this marriage?"
"You carried me and Wang Zeng behind your back and presented the sword and phoenix crown to the Emperor and Queen of Liao. Is there any plan?"
"Why are you so focused on ruining this marriage?"
"..."
Xiang Minzhong talked for a long time and thought about it for a long time.
His voice suddenly stopped, he stared at Kou Ji in disbelief, and asked: "The reason why you ruined this marriage is because if it happens, you will be in trouble?"
"I heard a rumor in the Liao camp recently, saying that a woman got into your tent the night before the Emperor of Liao held a holiday."
"Could it be..."
Xiang Minzhong stared at Kou Ji in astonishment.
He has guessed the truth of the matter.
Kou Ji sighed and said helplessly: "As you know, I didn't do anything that night. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so sleepy that I would fight for your bed to sleep."
Xiang Minzhong gritted his teeth and said: "I know you didn't do anything. But I believe this, Wang Zeng believes it, but the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty will not believe it, and the people of the Song Dynasty will not believe it either.
If you have ever used rumors to plot against others, you should know it.
Once this kind of thing spreads, everyone will only think of the worst.
It’s useless no matter how much you argue.”
Xiang Minzhong stamped his feet and sighed: "Tell me who you can't sleep with. You have to sleep with her."
Kou Ji defended: "I didn't sleep with her..."
Xiang Minzhong glared, "If I say this, will anyone believe it?"
Kou Ji shut his mouth.
Xiang Minzhong complained: "Why are you so unlucky!"
Kou Jidao: "I was also tricked by the Emperor of Liao. He used the old coins to redeem me. It was just a conspiracy. He secretly gave me a hand. He originally wanted to use this to force me to defect to the Liao Kingdom.
But when he failed to force me, he was ready to kill me with this hand."
Xiang Minzhong gritted his teeth and said: "The Liao Emperor is really insidious..."
Xiang Minzhong glared at Kou Ji and reminded: "It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, you must be careful."
After Xiang Minzhong reminded Kou Ji, he pondered for a moment, walked out, and said as he walked: "You stay here now, I will go to Wang Zeng to discuss something. See if there is any way to get you out of this matter."
Pick it out."
Kou Ji had no objection and allowed Xiang Minzhong to find Wang Zeng.
In front of Kou Ji, Xiang Minzhong told Wang Zengfen that Kou Ji had gotten into trouble.
Wang Zeng frowned after hearing this.
Before Wang Zeng could scold him, Kou Ji said: "I have figured out a way to solve this problem, but it requires the cooperation of the two of you. Once it is done, not only can I successfully get rid of my troubles, but I can also
This is a blackmail from the Liao Kingdom."
Xiang Minzhong glared and scolded: "What can you do..."
Kou Ji did not elaborate, but simply said: "Just wait for the good news."
Wang Zeng said with a gloomy face: "Then just wait and see."
Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "Once your plan fails, I will report it to the Emperor Liao, saying that although Yelu Shishi and the official family have the same horoscope, they conflict with the Queen Mother, and let him choose another princess.
.”
Kou Ji asked unexpectedly: "Is this still possible?"
Xiang Minzhong scolded: "It's not for the sake of your dog's life. The two of you said this, but you have to bear a huge responsibility. Once the incident happens, although your life is not in danger, your career will be over.
I'm getting older, and it's long past time for me to beg for bones.
But Wang Zeng is still young."
Wang Zeng waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I just stayed at home for a few years. After a few years, I will recover again."
Kou Ji bowed deeply to Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng.
The two old shepherds risked their careers for his life. They were protecting him at all costs.
How could Kou Ji not thank him for such great love?
After Kou Ji saluted, he said seriously: "You two don't have to be like this. That night, Yelu Fifteen rushed into my tent, and no one saw it. So the Emperor of Liao could apply what happened that night to another princess at any time.
Therefore, staying or leaving on the 15th day of the lunar calendar is not enough to solve my troubles.
I already have a solution to this matter, so please don't worry about it.
You two just need to accompany me and wait for the good news.
When the time comes, you two will be indispensable, roaring in court, asking the Emperor of Liao for an explanation."
