Liu Heng looked toward the imperial doctor's office and saw two guards from the Kou Mansion guarding Kou Ji with dull eyes.
They seemed to be shocked and frightened.
Liu Heng looked at them, obviously unable to ask anything, so he looked at the imperial doctor.
Seeing Liu Heng's gaze, the imperial doctor clicked his lips and said, "This is the first time I have seen an official like Kou Jinglue. When others are in danger, it is the bodyguard who blocks the arrows.
Fortunately for him, he actually wanted to save the guards when he was in danger.
However, the two of them must have been a little nervous and at a loss at that time, so when they were knocked down from behind, they subconsciously elbowed them back."
"Fourth brother...were they knocked unconscious?"
Liu Heng opened his mouth in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The imperial doctor nodded slowly.
Liu Heng could not replace Kou Ji to teach his guards a lesson. He said with a gloomy face: "Take my fourth brother back, and the two of us will guard him together. When he wakes up, I will let you go."
The imperial doctor opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute.
The imperial doctor knew the importance of Kou Ji's life, so he checked Kou Ji's injuries repeatedly and confirmed that Kou Ji only had some skin injuries and was not in trouble.
But Liu Heng insisted on letting him guard Kou Ji, and he couldn't refuse.
He could clearly see the scene where Liu Heng used people as meat hammers just now.
Liu Heng, who had lost his mind, did not treat people as human beings at all.
His old bones cannot withstand Liu Heng's torment.
Liu Heng took matters into his own hands and carried Kou Ji into Tie Yewu and back to his room.
He didn't pay attention at all to the war outside Tieyewu.
More than 20,000 Hengshan Army officers and soldiers stationed in Tieyewu rushed over from the military camp one after another. Even if the enemy had three heads and six arms, they had to be chopped off.
Liu Heng carried Kou Ji back to Tie Yewu and stayed by Kou Ji's bed.
After a long time after the shouts of death outside stopped, his family members hurried into the room.
"Young Master, there were only one hundred and thirty people who assassinated Kou Jinglue. Kill them all. There are hundreds of people hiding in a valley not far from here. My subordinates led people to follow the traces and found them. They killed half of them and captured them.
Half of it."
Liu Mansion's Buqu stood behind Liu Heng and reported softly.
Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji lying on the bed with a worried look on his face. After hearing Bu Qu's words, he whispered: "Aren't they all dead soldiers?"
Bu Qu nodded and said: "Most of the people the thieves summoned this time are sharpshooters. The status of sharpshooters in various countries is quite high, so it is difficult to become someone else's dead soldier."
Liu Heng gritted his teeth and said: "There must be a thousand people, right? More than a thousand people touched Tie Yewu, why didn't our scouts notice it?"
Bu Qu said with a bitter face: "Most of the spies in the mansion are now in Ningbian Prefecture, keeping an eye on the Liao people."
Liu Heng said angrily: "I'm talking about the scout camp of the Hengshan Army!"
Bu Qu was silent for a moment and said: "I haven't seen Cui Liang from the Hengshan Army Scout Camp so far. My subordinates took the brothers to rearrange the light and dark posts and found a lot of omissions."
After a pause, Bu Qu added: "When my subordinates and others were chasing the thieves, they found that many sentries posted by Cui Liang had been removed."
Liu Heng clenched his fists and closed his eyes in pain, "I was the one who caused the fourth brother to suffer this disaster."
If he didn't appreciate Cui Liang, didn't save Cui Liang, and didn't hand over the scout camp to Cui Liang, the enemy wouldn't have touched this place.
"Go and look for me. Find Cui Liang and bring him here."
"Here..."
Liu Heng looked at Bu Qu, gritted his teeth and said: "Interrogate those prisoners carefully and let them know what hell on earth is."
The imperial doctor glanced at Liu Heng and whispered: "Torturing and killing thieves will harm the peace of the world..."
Liu Heng glared at the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor smiled bitterly and closed his mouth.
Bu Qu nodded and left the room.
Liu Heng and the imperial doctor continued to guard Kou Ji's bedside.
In the evening, Liu Fu's Bu Qu appeared in the room again and reported to Liu Heng: "Young Master, someone told me that they are the Condor Shooters from the Liao Kingdom."
"fart!"
Liu Heng cursed loudly, "The territory bordering the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom is guarded by our people. How could the vulture shooters from the Liao Kingdom come here? The vulture shooters brought by Xiao Xiaomu were contaminated by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty." Blood, my fourth brother secretly ordered people to kill them all.
In the northwest, what kind of eagle shooters are there from the Liao Kingdom?"
Bu Qu solemnly said: "The young master is right. My subordinates guessed that they were dishonest, so they interrogated them for a while, and finally found out that they were sharpshooters dispatched from the Xixia armies."
Liu Heng's eyes were stunned, "It is indeed Xixia!"
Liu Heng turned around and said to his subordinates: "Send someone to rush back to Bianjing City and tell the officials that the Xixia people sent assassins to assassinate my fourth brother."
Bu Qu nodded and prepared to leave.
The imperial doctor suddenly said: "I would like to ask, how did you find out that they are Xixia's sharpshooters? Water and fire sticks, clamping sticks, tiger stools, and soldering irons?"
Liu Fubu Qu paused and said calmly to the imperial doctor: "I don't know those methods, I just fed the dead thieves to the living thieves.
If they can't eat anymore, they will naturally have to explain."
The imperial doctor's eyes widened in horror, and his whole body was trembling.
"You...are you still human?"
Liu Heng snorted coldly: "We are human beings, but they are not."
The imperial doctor pointed at Liu Heng, trembling with anger.
He felt that Liu Heng and the people under Liu Heng were evil ghosts living in the world.
Seeing that the imperial doctor didn't speak any more, Liu Heng stopped taking care of him. He seemed to have remembered something and asked Bu Qu, "Where is Cui Liang?"
Bu Qu pursed his lips and whispered: "Some people say that Cui Liang and a few confidants quietly sneaked into Xiazhou City on the pretext of seeking information."
"What did he do in Xiazhou?"
Liu Heng asked.
Buqu said frankly: "I heard that there are many secret prostitution parlors in Xiazhou City."
Liu Heng was trembling with anger, "Okay! Very good!"
Seeing that Liu Heng was extremely angry, Buqu quickly said: "My subordinates have sent people to arrest him."
Liu Heng gritted his teeth and said, "After I catch him, I will kill him myself."
"Here..."
Bu Qu agreed and exited the room.
The imperial doctor stared at Liu Heng and said in a trembling voice: "You are committing evil!"
Liu Heng stared and said, "I'm not even afraid of death, but I'm still afraid of committing evil?!"
The imperial doctor was so angry that he could not speak again.
"cough……"
A slight cough sounded when the imperial doctor closed his mouth.
Liu Heng stood up suddenly, "Fourth brother?!"
Kou Ji woke up slowly and took a breath of air after feeling the stinging pain in his chest.
"Fourth brother, are you okay?"
Liu Heng asked eagerly.
Kou Ji took a deep breath and said, "I don't know either. Where is the imperial doctor? Ask the imperial doctor to see if everything is okay."
Liu Heng quickly looked at the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor stood up with a dark face.
Only then did Kou Ji know that the imperial doctor was also guarding him.
Before Liu Heng and Kou Ji could ask questions, the imperial doctor said with a dark face: "A little skin injury, nothing serious."
Kou Ji frowned and said, "But I feel dizzy, and my chest still has stabbing pains..."
The imperial doctor said calmly: "The reason you feel dizzy is because your guard gave you a slap on the forehead. The pain in your chest is because I cut off some rotten flesh from your chest.
I have already applied medicine for you, and after seven days, when new flesh grows out, there will be no serious problem."
"Seven days?"
"I want the flesh and bones of a living person to grow new flesh in seven days. It will be easy."
"..."
Kou Ji breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly: "Where are the assassins? Where are the guards in my house? And where are the mute tigers?"
Liu Heng said quickly: "All the assassins have been taken down. The doctors accompanying the army have already checked it out for the guards in your house. They were just a little frightened and nothing serious.
After the mute tiger was hit by an arrow, he fought fiercely for a long time, leaving a lot of blood and being deeply poisoned.
The royal doctor has helped him detoxify, but it will take a long time for him to recover."
After a pause, Liu Heng added with a somewhat gloomy look: "Among the guards who accompanied you to cool off under the old locust tree, only three of them survived."
Hearing this, Kou Ji's pupils shrank slightly.
The imperial doctor said nonchalantly to the side: "If it weren't for the guards in your house who tried their best to help you block the fatal arrow, I'm afraid you would be a dead body now."
Kou Ji's face darkened slightly, "Someone wants my life..."
Liu Heng said guiltily: "Fourth brother, it's my fault. I misjudged Cui Liang and asked him to lead the scout camp to set up defenses, so there was such an oversight."
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said in a deep voice: "I have told you before that Cui Liang has evil intentions and asked you to use it with caution."
Liu Heng was about to open his mouth and continue to admit his mistake, but Kou Ji didn't give him a chance.
Kou Ji continued: "Cui Liang's account will be settled later. Now I just want to know who wants to kill me!"
Liu Heng said quickly: "There are many people who assassinate you, more than a thousand people. Some of them are dead soldiers, and some of them are not."
Kou Ji sneered: "You are not a dead soldier, but you dare to assassinate me? Is it that easy for me, Kou Ji, to be killed?"
Liu Heng said in a deep voice: "The person who assassinated you was a sharpshooter, and the dead soldiers should have been supervising the battle."
Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng and said, "According to your opinion, have you been caught alive?"
Liu Heng nodded, "We've already recruited him, it's the Xixia people who did it."
Kou Ji narrowed his eyes, "Li Deming? How brave!"
Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng and ordered: "Have someone bring me my command arrow and ask Ba Baili to wait outside the door."
Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji and said in shock: "Fourth brother, what are you going to do?"
Kou Ji said coldly: "Since Li Deming dares to take my life, and since I am not dead, I will take his life first."
Liu Heng said in shock: "Fourth brother is planning to attack Xixia?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Liu Heng asked: "Aren't you waiting for the results of Baichi City?"
Kou Ji said coldly: "Li Deming has put a knife on my neck, do I still need to find an excuse to force him to send troops?"
When Liu Heng heard this, he said seriously: "Everyone in the Hengshan Army will listen to the commander's orders."
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Liu Heng immediately ordered people to go down to prepare the command arrows that Kou Ji wanted, and to summon all the people in the eight hundred miles to rush.
After a while.
Hundreds of riders stood quietly in front of the door where Kou Ji was.
Kou Ji was lying on the bed in the room, with a bucket of arrows in front of him.
Kou Ji pulled out an order arrow and said in a deep voice: "This order is sent to Bianjing City, and the weapon workshop in Ruian Town is ordered to transport all the firearms in stock here for one month. If they fail to meet the deadline, they will be killed!"
After handing out the command arrow, someone sent the command arrow to the urgent hands of Ba Baili.
Four or eight soldiers, who had traveled eight hundred miles in a hurry, lit torches, took command arrows, and rushed out of Tieyewu.
Kou Ji drew out an order arrow again and continued: "This order is sent to Hexi. Zhu Neng, the governor of the Zhenxi Army, led the 50,000 soldiers of the Zhenxi Army. After receiving the order arrow, he immediately rushed to the Hongshui River to attack
The Xixia territory west of the Hongshui River was unable to be taken before the heavy snow blocked the road. Zhu Neng, the governor of the Suppressing Western Army, was dismissed from his post and investigated!"
"This order was sent to Qingjian City, and Xiping Road was ordered to pacify the envoy Zhong Shiheng, and the troops were sent out of Qingjian City to block the road to the west of Xingqing Prefecture, clearing the way for Zhu Neng to attack the western border of Xixia. If he misses the deadline, he will be dismissed and investigated!
"
"This order was sent to Linzhou, and Wang Kai, the envoy of the Zhenbei Army, was ordered to leave Linzhou and go north along the Zhuolun Village to conquer the northern border of Xixia. If the northern border of Xixia cannot be captured before the heavy snow blocks the road, he will be dismissed and investigated!"
"This order is passed to the Yongning Army, and the entire Yongning Army is ordered to rush to the Iron Smelting Service immediately for a period of fifteen days. If the deadline is not met, the commander or above will be dismissed!"
"This order is passed to the Zhenrong Army, and all the Zhenrong Army are ordered to rush to the Iron Smelting Service immediately for eight days. If they fail to meet the deadline, they will be dismissed from their posts above the rank of military commander!"
"..."
"Liu Heng, the military governor of Hengshan Army, accepts the order!"
"The official is here!"
"I order you to lead the army to attack Xiazhou immediately. If you cannot capture Xiazhou City, you will be dismissed!"
"Here!"
"..."
Following Kou Ji's orders, Ba Baili hurriedly took the order arrow and ran in all directions.
All the soldiers and horses in the northwest moved quickly following Kou Ji's order.
After Liu Heng received Kou Ji's order, he did not rush to mobilize troops. Instead, he sent someone to ask Gao Chugong and handed over the preliminary preparations to Gao Chugong. He himself stayed by Kou Ji's side.
.
Liu Heng stayed by Kou Ji's side all night.
The next morning.
After confirming that Kou Ji's life was not in danger, Liu Heng completely relaxed.
After Liu Heng told the imperial doctor to take care of Kou Ji, he stepped out of the room.
But he forgot one thing, he forgot to send someone to send Zhao Zhen the news that Kou Ji was not in danger.
When Liu Heng walked out of Kou Ji's room, he saw people from his house escorting Cui Liang to appear at the door.
When Liu Heng saw Cui Liang, it was like seeing an enemy who killed his father and took away his wife.
Liu Heng went up and gave Cui Liang a hard slap, which made Cui Liang's cheeks swell for an instant.
Cui Liang probably knew that his negligence almost caused Kou Ji's death, so when Liu Heng whipped him, he didn't even dare to beg for mercy, he just lowered his head and trembled all over.
"I'll kill you, it's too easy on you. Since you can't control what's in your crotch, then I'll find someone to help you. I've already sent someone to ask Liu Yishou, the most famous man in Bianjing City.
He was specially used to purify the eunuchs in the palace.
I heard that he has a special skill, which is that he can cut off the thing with one knife and keep the person alive.
Just wait here for me."
Cui Liang was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground for a moment.
Liu Heng smiled coldly, "Do you think this is the end? Do you know the Everlasting Lamp? I am going to build a big tomb for the brothers who died in the Kou Mansion, and you will be the Everlasting Lamp in it!"
