Kou Zhun's long knife fell to the ground and cut an outline.
Not a single hit.
Kou Zhun swung his sword and struck again.
Chase Kou Ji and Liu Heng and kill them.
For a moment, Kou Zhun chased Kou Ji and Liu Heng and ran around in the Xixia Yongjun Division on the left side.
Some of the soldiers who stayed behind in the Shenyong Army Division on the left side of Xixia saw this scene and just watched helplessly.
Kou Zhun was chasing their Shangguan, they could see it.
But they didn't dare to stop him.
Not because they knew Kou Zhun, but because Kou Zhun was followed by a group of majestic imperial guards.
When Kou Ji was assassinated in the northwest, Zhao Zhen was so frightened that he lost his courage.
If Kou Zhun was assassinated in the northwest, Zhao Zhen would be frightened to death.
So when Kou Zhun left Yinzhou City with his servants, he sent a group of imperial guards, two thousand soldiers and horses, to escort Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun chased Kou Ji and Liu Heng for a long time, and they ran all over the left wing of the Western Xia Dynasty.
Everything that could be chopped down by the Xixia Yongjun Division in the left wing of Xixia was chopped off by Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun chased him all the way to the class room and shouted to Kou Ji out of breath: "You brat, do you want to exhaust me to death?!"
Kou Ji stopped, stared at Kou Zhun and smiled bitterly: "You want to kill your relatives out of justice, why don't I run away?"
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji, "Do you know that because of you, the official family had a fight with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so they left Bianjing City and appointed many officials to accompany them.
Now they are all in Yinzhou City.
If you were assassinated and seriously injured, that would be fine.
But you only had a superficial wound and recovered within a few days after the assassination.
The crime of deceiving the emperor can no longer be escaped.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are now watching.
If I don't chop you now, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will not be able to explain it to you.
The official family will also lose face because of this.
Which is more serious or less important, you know very well in your heart.
Stop, let me chop you, and give everyone an explanation.
You are my grandson, and it is impossible for me to really hack you to death."
Kou Ji said with a grimace: "Is there no other way?"
Kou Zhun stared, "What do you think?"
Liu Heng's eyes kept wandering between Kou Ji and Kou Zhun. After a long time, he said in astonishment: "Bitter meat plan?"
Kou Zhun glared at Liu Heng, "You are so stupid, but you can see it now. I only have a grandson, can you really kill him?"
If I really want to chop him, can he hide?
If I really wanted to kill him, I would have had him arrested long ago."
Liu Heng looked bitter.
This time he and Kou Ji were in trouble, and it was indeed his stupid fault.
Liu Heng hesitated and said, "Why don't you give me a knife and give everyone an explanation."
Kou Zhun said unceremoniously: "You think too highly of yourself. The official family did not leave the capital because of you. Even if I hack you to death, the civil and military officials of the court will not care."
Liu Heng lowered his head in depression.
Kou Zhun's words were so shocking.
Kou Ji stared at Kou Zhun and said, "Do you really want to chop him down?"
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji and said, "Chen Lin is following behind. If you can lure Chen Lin out and stop me from hacking you, you can avoid the pain of your flesh and blood."
Kou Ji thought for a while and said: "There is a cell behind the Yamen, and the prisoners in it are all the prisoners who are about to be executed recently. Let's try it with their blood."
Kou Zhun was speechless and continued to pursue and chop with his knife.
Kou Ji fled back.
Liu Heng still stood there in a daze.
Kou Zhun chased Liu Heng and was so angry that he was shaking all over. He slapped Liu Heng hard with the back of his knife, "Why don't you run to the cell?!"
Liu Heng came to his senses and ran towards the cell following Kou Ji's footsteps.
Wandered around the cell.
Kou Zhun held a bloody knife and chased Kou Ji and Liu Heng, who were covered in blood, out of the classroom.
Chen Lin, who was hiding in the dark and peeking, was shocked when she saw this scene.
"This old guy Kou Zhun is really aggressive... so cruel..."
Knowing that she couldn't hide anymore, Chen Lin rushed out from the darkness, stood in front of Kou Ji and Liu Heng, and loudly warned Kou Zhun, "Kou Gong, you can't kill him. You and the officials are still in the northwest."
Big things to do!”
Kou Zhun stopped, stared at Kou Ji and Liu Heng behind Chen Lin, and roared: "Get out of the way, I must kill these two treacherous sycophants today!"
Chen Lin hurriedly said: "Kou Gong, they did not deliberately deceive you. I have already checked it out, and Kou Jinglue's situation was indeed terrible. If Kou Jinglue hadn't been wearing soft armor to protect himself, he would have died long ago.
Ning Guogong was also frightened, so he lied about the emergency report in a panic."
Kou Zhun said angrily: "Even so, the two of them are criminals who deceived the emperor and deserve to be killed!"
After saying this, Kou Zhun rushed forward with the knife in hand.
Chen Lin became anxious when she saw this, "Kou Gong, these two are important ministers of the court. If they want to kill or behead, it is the official's final decision. Although Kou Gong has a noble status, he cannot commit suicide privately."
When Kou Zhun heard this, he stopped on his feet and snorted heavily, "I am confused. I almost forgot that the imperial court has laws to punish these two traitors."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kou Zhun dropped the knife and shouted loudly: "Kou Zhong, I'm tired. Find me a comfortable place. I want to rest."
Kou Zhong appeared beside Kou Zhun with a smile, and helped Kou Zhun leave Chen Lin.
When Chen Lin saw Kou Zhun leaving, her heart skipped a beat and she whispered to herself.
Too bad!
Fell into a trap!
Chen Lin quickly turned around and looked at Kou Ji and Liu Heng behind her.
Although Kou Ji and Liu Heng were covered in blood, their clothes were not damaged.
"You...are not injured?"
Chen Lin asked with a slightly trembling voice.
Kou Ji and Liu Heng looked at each other and saluted Chen Lin sincerely, "Thank you very much, Chen Daban, for your help in surviving..."
Chen Lin stared angrily.
If he still doesn't understand that he is being plotted by Kou Ji and Kou Zhun's grandparents, then his life will be in vain these years.
"You...you...you are plotting against our family?!"
Kou Ji shook his head decisively, "No, it just happened to be stained with some blood."
Chen Lin was so angry that she couldn't speak.
After a long time, he let out a helpless breath, stared at Kou Ji with a very complicated expression and said: "That's all... As long as you're fine... Our family has been plotted, so it's fine that you haven't been really hurt.
...If you are injured, the officials will be worried again..."
"Go back, wash up, change your clothes, and come with us to meet the official."
"..."
After a pause, Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji and said: "We are easy to deceive, but the officials accompanying you are not easy to deceive. When they see you, they will inevitably give you a hard time."
Kou Ji sighed: "When the time comes, I will inevitably have to use your name to get through..."
Chen Lin said calmly: "It's up to you..."
Kou Ji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Lin didn't care.
Kou Ji and Liu Heng returned to their rooms, washed themselves, changed into official uniforms, and followed Chen Lin to Yinzhou on a starry night journey.
Nowadays, Xiazhou and other places have just been conquered, and there are still some unstable factors. Therefore, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as Kou Zhun, Chen Lin and others, do not approve of Zhao Zhen's visit to Xiazhou.
Instead, Zhao Zhen was asked to stay behind the Great Wall and in Yinzhou.
Kou Ji and Liu Heng followed Chen Lin and galloped for a day and a half until they arrived in Yinzhou.
After working hard for a day and a half, not only did nothing bad happen, but Kou Ji recovered from his illness.
Kou Ji had been struggling for a long time and felt a little cold.
Now that I have worked hard for a day and a half and sweated a few times, my illness will naturally be cured.
Among the common people, most people who catch a cold will just cover themselves with a quilt and sweat, and then they will be fine.
After Kou Ji and Liu Heng entered Yinzhou again, they saw the situation in the city and looked in disbelief.
Yinzhou City, which was originally empty, is now filled to the brim.
There were so many that Kou Ji and Liu Heng couldn't even calculate them in a moment.
"How many troops and horses?"
Kou Ji asked Liu Heng while riding his horse forward.
Liu Heng frowned and said: "It's hard to say... Yinzhou City can only accommodate 150,000 troops and horses at most... that is, three troops and horses... But since I entered the city just now, I have seen six troops and horses.
Flag."
"Six?!"
Kou Ji looked horrified.
Kou Ji couldn't help but ask Chen Lin, who was straddling the horse and walking in front, "How many soldiers and horses did the officials bring?"
Chen Lin sighed and said: "To the north of Bianjing City, except for the four forbidden armies, three Xiang armies transferred by Cao Wei, and the soldiers and horses you transferred, all the remaining soldiers and horses have arrived."
Kou Ji took a breath of air.
"What do the officials want to do?"
Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji and sighed: "You were assassinated in Xixia. The officials thought that your assassination was related to Xixia. So they brought all the soldiers and horses here to teach Xixia a lesson."
Kou Ji smiled bitterly and said, "The officials should have known for a long time that I was fine, so why didn't they disperse the soldiers and horses they gathered?"
Chen Lin said calmly: "The officials knew that you were going to attack Xixia, so they did not disperse the soldiers and horses, but chose to bring them over to help you."
Kou Ji pursed his lips and said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Most of the soldiers and horses of our Song Dynasty are stationed north of Bianjing City. After excluding the soldiers and horses that Cao Wei took away, there are still 700,000 to 800,000 soldiers and horses stationed there.
Everywhere north of Bianjing City.
I dispatched some of them, and the officials dispatched the rest.
Seven or eight hundred thousand soldiers and horses to attack Xixia?
Isn’t it a bit of a fuss?”
Xixia's current strength is far less powerful than before.
The number of elite soldiers and horses in Xixia is only one hundred thousand.
The total number of other troops and horses is only 150,000.
A full attack would only amount to 250,000 troops.
Kou Ji dispatched more than 300,000 troops and horses to deal with Xixia, and he already had the intention of mobilizing troops.
Zhao Zhen mobilized his troops even more.
Four to five million troops and horses were mobilized to Yinzhou at once.
Although Zhao Zhen did this because of Kou Ji.
But Kou Ji still felt that Zhao Zhen was being ridiculous.
Chen Lin heard Kou Ji's words, glanced at Kou Ji, and said nothing.
Kou Ji continued: "Who will be in charge of the seven or eight hundred thousand troops?"
The greater the number of soldiers and horses, the more complicated it is to command them.
With 700,000 to 800,000 soldiers and horses, even Cao Wei would have a headache for a long time when he arrived, let alone others.
Kou Ji thought about it for a long time, but could not think of a suitable person to command the army.
Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji, but still had no words.
Kou Ji understood that he couldn't ask anything from Chen Lin, so he didn't speak again.
He has arrived in Yinzhou and will see Zhao Zhen soon. Zhao Zhen will definitely give him answers to his questions.
Chen Lin led Kou Ji around Yinzhou City and finally arrived at the school grounds in Yinzhou City.
The Yinzhou City School Ground used to be an open space, which was used by the Yinzhou garrison for training.
Now there is a large tent in the middle of the school grounds.
The tent is not only big, but also very gorgeous.
The outside of the tent was full of soldiers, all wearing golden armor and looking majestic.
The flags fluttered in the wind and made a rustling sound, creating a beautiful scenery.
A very coquettish euphorbia was hung on the big tent, looking very eye-catching.
The reason why Kou Ji thinks that spurge is so cool is because it is actually inlaid with gems and outlined with gold patterns.
Kou Ji and Liu Heng, led by Chen Lin, walked to the big tent. After passing the notification, they appeared at the door of the big tent.
The two glanced at the hanging halberd, took off the weapons they were wearing, and placed them at the door.
There are three places in the Song Dynasty where no weapons are allowed to enter without permission.
One is the Chui Gong Hall.
Civil and military ministers cannot enter with weapons before they are qualified to enter the palace with swords and shoes. If they enter with weapons, they intend to assassinate the officials and should be beheaded.
One is the White Tiger Festival Hall in Sanyamen.
Baihu Festival Hall is an important military location.
Bringing a weapon inside without permission is a serious crime and should be executed.
The last place is where the spurge is hung.
The place where the big halberd is hung is a military important place, just like the White Tiger Festival Hall. Without permission, people can enter with weapons and kill them.
Zhao Zhen obviously built his temporary palace into a military powerhouse.
He has probably wanted to do this for a long time, but he never had the chance.
After Chen Lin passed on the news of Kou Ji's arrival, Zhao Zhen actually welcomed him out in person.
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen in a daze.
The same is true for Liu Heng.
Zhao Zhen changed from his usual elegance and wore a bright armor with a very dazzling sword at his waist, giving him a full of heroic aura.
Kou Ji and Liu Heng were stunned for a moment and then hurriedly saluted.
"Chen Kouji..."
"Chen Liu Heng..."
"See the official family..."
"No need to be polite..."
Zhao Zhen took the initiative to step forward, looked around Kou Ji, and said, "Let me see if there are any bumps or bumps?"
Kou Ji hurriedly said: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Zhao Zhen shook his head slowly and said seriously: "What you say doesn't count."
Zhao Zhen looked at Chen Lin and asked, "Have you checked it carefully?"
Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin in shock.
Chen Lin said respectfully: "When Kou Jinglue returned to the official's house and was taking a bath, the servant carefully knocked on him in secret. Except for a red mark on his chest that had just peeled off, there were no other scars.
The servant also asked the imperial doctor, who said that the Kou Jinglue was fine."
Kou Ji opened his mouth wide and looked in disbelief. He didn't know that Chen Lin had secretly spied on him.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen let out a sigh of relief, stared at Kou Ji and said, "I can finally feel relieved after seeing with my own eyes that the fourth brother is fine."
"Thank you..."
Kou Jigang wanted to bow and say thanks.
Zhao Zhen hurriedly pulled Kou Ji and said, "Fourth brother, look, how does my armor look like?"
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen's armor carefully, nodded and praised: "Not bad...it can be said to be priceless..."
Kou Ji praised him with his mouth, but added something in his heart.
Not practical.
Zhao Zhen's armor is beautiful in shape and made of very precious materials. It will naturally be worth a fortune if it is sold off.
But on the battlefield, it is actually not practical at all.
Kou Ji didn't lie to Zhao Zhen, he just told half of what he said.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen smiled with satisfaction and said: "Although the craftsmen in the palace are not as skilled as the craftsmen in your house, their craftsmanship is still very good."
