If you know horses, you know horses. Why would you say such a disgusting thing?
But as soon as he said these words, Kou Ji had to re-examine him.
Kou Ji originally thought that this dead eunuch only knew some martial arts, knew how to serve people, and knew some poisons.
Now listening to the meaning of his words, it is obvious that he understands a lot of things.
He is a treasure eunuch with a vast amount of knowledge.
When you have time, you should dig into it.
Look what abilities this dead eunuch has.
Kou Ji saw Chen Lin's eyes lingering on the horse, and he felt wary.
Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin with an unkind expression and whispered: "You also want to covet my horse?"
Chen Lin rolled her eyes with a look of disdain, "If I need a horse, there are plenty of ways to get it, why would I want your horse?"
After a pause, Chen Lin said helplessly: "Over the years, I have often sent people to bring horses back from outside... But in the end..."
Hearing this, Kou Ji smiled mockingly.
Now he has the feeling that everyone is a thief, and he always feels that everyone will covet his horse.
But they forgot that Chen Lin was in charge of the Dongmen Drug Storehouse and the Equipment Supervision Department. She had many capable people and strangers, and it would be easy to catch a horse if she wanted to.
After all, around the Song Dynasty, not only Xixia but also Liao had horses.
There are also horses in Qingtang and other places, and they are willing to make good friends with the Song Dynasty and can also get horses. Although the number of horses in these places may not be as large as that of Xixia and Liao.
But it is easy to raise 5,000 horses.
Chen Lin obviously got a lot of horses for the Song Dynasty over the years, but because of the problems with the horse administration of the Song Dynasty, the horses he got back must have been almost ruined.
Kou Ji didn't want to discuss the Ma Zheng issue with Chen Lin, because no matter how much he discussed it with Chen Lin, it wouldn't make much sense.
Kou Ji changed the subject and said: "The war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom has ended a long time ago. The two countries have already negotiated peace. Why are you still staying in Baozhou?"
When this was mentioned, Chen Lin became extremely angry.
"Isn't it because of you? The officials wrote to me and told me that if you don't go back, I won't be allowed to go back. The reason why I stayed in Baozhou and suffered all the trouble is because of you."
Hearing this, Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do I think you feel comfortable living in Baozhou?"
Chen Lin rolled her eyes and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you... When you finish handling this batch of horses, you can return to Beijing with me as soon as possible."
Kou Ji nodded.
Chen Lin waved her sleeves and left the grass.
After walking for only two steps, he stopped and turned around and said to Kou Ji: "The person you want, I will ask someone to send it to you later."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Chen Lin had promised him to give him Yuyou.
After Chen Lin left, the old pawn continued to take Kou Ji on the road, explaining to Kou Ji the changes in Baozhou over the past few days.
We didn't stop until we arrived at Baozhou Military Camp.
Cao Wei, Di Qing, and Yang Wenguang learned that Kou Ji had arrived in Baozhou and were already waiting for him at the gate of the military camp.
Although the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom had a truce for a long time, they could not withdraw even if the peace talks failed. They had to be prepared for the Liao Kingdom to change its mind at any time.
Now that the peace talks have been concluded, it is time for them to return to the court.
But we have to wait until Wang Zeng and Xiang Minzhong arrive and return to the court together.
Logically speaking, Cao Wei was not suitable to come out to greet Kou Ji, but he came anyway.
After Kou Ji walked to the gate of the camp.
He bowed to Cao Wei and said, "Kou Ji, I have met Uncle Cao."
Without waiting for Cao Wei to speak, Kou Ji said seriously: "Uncle Cao is also thinking about the boy's horse?"
Cao Wei was stunned, looked at Kou Ji with squinted eyes, and said, "What do you think?"
Kou Ji said solemnly: "As Uncle Cao, I must have something to ask for when I personally come out to greet the boy. And the only thing about the boy that is worthy of Uncle Cao's plot is these horses."
Cao Wei nodded slowly and sighed: "If you are honest, I really have a crush on your horses. But judging from your intentions, you don't intend to dedicate these horses to the imperial court, nor do you plan to divide them up."
Ma. Then there is no need for me to speak anymore.
You kid has your own opinion, but if you don't want to give it to me, it won't be pretty if I take your horse by force."
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Uncle Cao is right, I really don't intend to divide these horses."
Cao Wei sighed and said: "I can probably guess what you have in mind. I must remind you that these horses have been targeted by many people from the moment they entered the Song Dynasty.
If you keep them by force, you will definitely offend a lot of people."
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said, "Then it depends on whether they have good teeth."
Liu Heng, who had been silent all the way, couldn't help it at this time, and hummed: "If they want horses, they can just go to Liao to get them. Why are they bothering my fourth brother?"
They couldn't get the horses from the Liao Kingdom themselves, so when they saw that my fourth brother had obtained the horses from the Liao Kingdom, they wanted to take advantage of them, which is simply shameless."
These words can be regarded as scolding Cao Wei. After all, Cao Wei also has the idea of dividing the horses.
Cao Wei glared at Liu Heng angrily.
Liu Heng laughed loudly and shut his mouth decisively.
He had followed Cao Wei to Feihukou, had seen how ruthless Cao Wei was on the battlefield, and had seen Cao Wei's murderous methods, so he was somewhat afraid of Cao Wei.
After Cao Wei glared at Liu Heng, he said to Kou Ji: "Some people are incompetent on the battlefield, but they are very capable at home. Be careful."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "I will..."
After the two of them finished speaking, Di Qing and Yang Wenguang stepped forward to salute Kou Ji.
Kou Ji asked them about their recent movements, chatted with them for a while, and then followed them back to the camp.
Five thousand horses were driven to the military stables.
After the old soldier has discussed with the people of the other three Xiang armies, he will find a suitable place for the horses to live in the jurisdiction of the four Xiang armies and rush there to raise them.
Therefore, the horse pen in the army is just a temporary residence for five thousand horses.
As soon as Kou Jicheng rested in the barracks, someone came to the door.
They didn't say anything, they just carried one person to Koji's barracks and left decisively.
Looking at the familiar face lying on a wooden board similar to a stretcher, Kou Ji was slightly dazed.
Kou Ji frowned and said, "No wonder Chen Lin gave you to me so happily. How did you become such a ghost?"
The fish on the wooden board is wrapped in rolls of gauze, like a silkworm chrysalis.
There was a strong smell of medicine and rotting meat on his body.
Yu You said with a weak breath: "After a trip to Xixia, it became what it is now."
"Xixia?"
Kou Ji was stunned and asked: "Did you go to Xixia to assassinate Li Zhaoliang?"
Yuyou blinked and nodded.
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "To assassinate people in a military camp full of soldiers, you too..."
"It's hard to disobey your destiny..."
"..."
Kou Ji sighed.
Yu You stared at Kou Ji, smiled calmly and said, "Do you regret it when you look at me like this?"
Kou Ji confessed: "A little bit... what I want is a helper who can help me..."
Yuyou didn't say anything, he just grinned, and there was a bit of sadness in his smile.
After being silent for a while, he sighed: "I can't change it anymore... From the moment you took me away from the equipment supervisor, I can't change it anymore..."
Yu You looked at Kou Ji and laughed in a low voice: "But you don't have to worry, I won't be a burden to you. The doctor in the equipment prison said that I won't survive more than five months. Maybe I will die in two days..."
Kou Ji stared at the fish swimming without saying anything.
Yuyou said self-consciously: "When I dragged my body back to the medical facility prison, the doctor said I wouldn't survive. It was several colleagues in the facility prison who forced the doctor to diagnose and treat me, so I could survive.
Until now...
Eunuch Chen probably thought I wouldn't survive, so when you asked for me, he happily gave me to you."
After hearing this, Kou Ji turned around and walked out.
Yuyou asked: "Where are you going?"
Kou Ji said without looking back: "Find someone who can save your dog's life..."
Yu You said in a deep voice: "There are few people who can compare with the doctor in the equipment supervision department. He said that I will die without a doubt, and I will definitely die without a doubt."
Kou Ji continued to walk out as if he didn't hear Yuyou's words.
He left the barracks and walked all the way to a pharmacy.
At the door of the pharmacy, there was a doctor who accompanied the army and was treating the soldiers in the camp.
Seeing that Kou Ji was about to break into the pharmacy, he quickly left his soldiers and stepped forward to stop him.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Looking for that smelly and hard old man..."
"Doctor Qian is busy now...he gave orders not to see anyone else..."
"..."
Kou Ji pushed aside the doctor who was blocking his way and broke into the pharmacy.
Before I could stand still, I heard a roar, "Who? Who broke in and disturbed my little darlings?"
An old man with a messy beard was guarding a bunch of silkworm babies and roaring loudly.
"Kou Ji, please help me."
Doctor Qian put the silkworm baby in place, glared at Kou Ji and shouted: "You are not sick or poisoned, please ask me to save your life."
Kou Ji cupped his hands and said: "There is a person who is seriously injured and seems to have pus. You need to take action."
Doctor Qian was stunned when he heard this and frowned: "The wound is suppurating? Is there a fishy smell?"
Kou Ji nodded and said, "Yes!"
Dr. Qian said impatiently: "Then let him wait to die."
Kou Ji bowed and said, "I hope you can help me."
"What to save? There is nothing to save the dead..."
Doctor Qian was halfway through his cursing words when he saw Kou Ji standing hunched over. He finally sighed and said, "That's all... You helped me find so many medicinal materials and survived for such a long time.
It can be regarded as meritorious.
For the sake of this meritorious deed, I will reluctantly go with you."
Kou Ji immediately took Doctor Qian and the medicine box to the barracks.
After entering the barracks and seeing the fish swimming, Doctor Qian turned around and left.
Kou Ji hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him, "You haven't seen it yet?"
Dr. Qian's face was dark, "Ordinary people would be fatal if only a few wounds turned into pus. Almost all the wounds on his body were filled with pus. Even if I am a god, I can't save his life."
Before Kou Ji could speak, Yu You, who heard the conversation between the two of them, spoke first. He smiled faintly and said, "I'm ready to die."
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
Kou Ji and Doctor Qian spoke almost at the same time.
Doctor Qian glared at Kou Ji, returned to Yu You, and cursed: "I hate people like you who treat life as a child's play. Your body and skin are given to you by your parents and should not be insulted lightly. Have you never heard of this?
?
Your parents didn't even say anything, and you said you wanted to die. Who do you think you are?
They didn't crush you to death in the swim bladder, that's because they were merciful.
But you can't play with their kindness."
Kou Ji and Yu You heard what Imperial Doctor Qian said and looked at him with strange expressions.
The swim bladder did not have much special meaning in later generations, but in ancient times, it was used by poor people for contraception.
Qian Yuyi's words have the same meaning as the saying "shoot on the wall" spread by later generations.
Doctor Qian glared at the two of them and scolded: "What are you looking at? Why don't you ask someone to clean up the house and prepare hot water? Do you want me to prepare it for you?"
Kou Ji nodded quickly and said: "Boy, go immediately..."
Kou Ji immediately called in people to clean up the barracks, and then immediately asked people to boil hot water.
Then he took the wine flask and sprinkled a circle of wine in the barracks.
Doctor Qian saw his behavior of drinking and frowned: "What are you doing?"
"Destroying poison..."
"poisonous?"
"There are many invisible poisons in the room. The reason why people's wounds fester is because of these poisons?"
"This is the first time I've heard this statement... Is there any basis for it?"
"Well...it takes a lot of twists and turns to prove this."
"Then treat his injuries first. After he is cured, we will discuss this matter. If you are right, then this discovery will save countless people's lives."
"..."
While he was talking, Kou Ji had already sprinkled wine around the room, and had someone specially hang a piece of silk above Yuyou's head to isolate the dust falling from the roof.
The servants have already boiled hot water and sent people to pass the message. As long as Kou Ji opens his mouth and asks for it, they can deliver it immediately.
After everything was prepared, Doctor Qian used small scissors to cut open the gauze wrapped tightly around Yuyou's body.
When all the gauze was cut off, Doctor Qian and Kou Ji took a deep breath.
Those wounds were covered with medicine, but the medicine powder had been washed away by the yellow pus. Some wounds had turned black, and some had turned white and started to rot into a paste.
Doctor Qian stared at the scars on Yu You's body, his mouth trembling slightly, "This... this can survive..."
Before Kou Ji could speak, he turned to look at Kou Ji and asked seriously: "Did you ask him to assassinate the Emperor of Liao?"
Kou Ji shook his head decisively.
"Can it be cured?"
Kou Ji asked.
Dr. Qian shook his head, "It can't be cured... If you want to remove the pus, the most direct way is to cut out the flesh... But there are many injuries on his body. Once I take the knife, there will be no intact part of his body."
Have you ever seen Death by a Thousand Cuts?”
Kou Ji shook his head.
Dr. Qian said in a deep voice: "It's almost the same as cutting into pieces with a thousand cuts...and I have to cut it harder than those executioners, because when cutting out the flesh, the digging is too shallow and it won't be effective."
