Out of Zongge City, the road to the northwest is smooth.

It's just that the farther north you go, the colder it gets.

So after leaving the boundary of Zongge City, Kou Ji couldn't sit still on horseback, so he found a carriage and shrank in.

On the second day of leaving Zongge City.

An Ziluo's gaze became very strange when he looked at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji knew why An Ziluo looked at him strangely.

An Ziluo should have known that he and Liu Heng conspired to stun Yilan, but he didn't do anything.

That's why they look at him with strange eyes.

Kou Ji didn't explain much about this, and he wasn't even interested in talking to An Ziluo about it.

Repeat for a few days.

The group arrived at Cuowenbu, which was later known as Qinghai Lake.

Since when I arrived at Qinghai Lake, it was already evening.

Therefore, Kou Ji did not enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qinghai Lake, but appreciated the vast starry sky.

The group set up camp on the edge of Qinghai Lake.

With the cold wind, a bonfire was lit by the lake, lamb and wolf meat were barbecued, accompanied by wine, singing and dancing, and the scene was very warm.

Wrestling is the favorite game of the Qingtang Warriors.

Even in the middle of winter, the cold wind on the lake is whistling, and the Qingtang warriors dare to challenge the men who patrol the horses and guards shirtless.

However.

The men who patrol the horse guards have never responded to the challenge of the Qingtang warriors, and one by one, like the people, when the bonfire is lit, they take out the prey they have caught during the day, gather around the bonfire, and learn barbecue skills.

It seems that in their eyes, barbecue is far more appealing to them than wrestling.

The Qingtang warriors did not get a response to the challenge of patrolling the horse guards, so they could only choose one or two opponents from the Japanese soldiers and learn from each other in wrestling skills.

Kou Ji sat on a long dead tree trunk, wrapped in a thick leather jacket, and yawned lazily.

Liu Heng carried a roasted wolf leg to Kou Ji, handed Kou Ji a small golden knife, and asked Kou Ji to cut and eat.

Wolf meat is obtained by hunting wolves.

On the third day after they left Zongge City, they ran into a pack of more than a dozen wolves.

The men who patrolled the horse guards rushed out as soon as possible and harvested the lives of more than a dozen wolves with muskets.

The wolf became the ration of Koji and his party.

The small golden knife was captured from the hands of horse thieves.

Those horse thieves entrenched in Qingtang seem to have benefited from the team escorted by the Great Song Dynasty.

So after meeting Kou Ji escorting grain and grass to appear, he thought about it.

It's just that when they saw An Ziluo leading the Qingtang cavalry to protect them, they gave up the idea of taking advantage of Kou Ji and his party.

However.

They gave up on plundering Koji, but that doesn't mean Koji will let them go.

After Liu Heng's spies of the Imperial City Division discovered their traces and found out that they had robbed the baggage team of the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji asked Liu Heng to take someone out.

Killed some of the horse thieves and escaped some of the horse thieves.

Not much grain and horses were seized, but a chest full of gold and silver was seized.

The small golden knife was one of the captures.

Kou Ji used a small golden knife to cut a piece of wolf meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and after chewing two bites, he frowned and said, "It's ...... taste."

Liu Heng sat down next to Kou Ji, holding half a leg of mutton, nibbling twice, staring at Kou Ji in amazement and said, "Didn't you like to eat this thing two days ago?" ”

Kou Ji stuck the small golden knife in his hand into the wolf's leg, pouted, and said, "I haven't eaten it before, try it." It's just that I didn't expect this thing to turn bad after two days. ”

Kou Ji used to be in Zhu Neng Mansion and ate a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

I have never tasted wolf meat.

Probably because Zhu Neng was tired of eating wolf meat, so there was never wolf meat in Zhu Neng's mansion.

Now that he has met a pack of wolves in Qingtang, after slaughtering them, Kou Ji naturally wants to try them.

It's just that I didn't expect it to turn bad after two days.

"I'll give you that little other ......"

Liu Heng glanced at Kou Ji and proposed.

Kou Ji shook his head, "Forget it...... Eating meat every day, I'm a little tired of it......"

Liu Heng asked: "Why can't I get tired of eating?" ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Where did I know ......?"

Liu Heng smiled in a low voice, glanced left and right, and saw An Ziluo sitting far away, so he whispered to Kou Ji: "From leaving Zongge City to the present, An Ziluo has secretly sent people to contact your subordinates.

He seems to have a musket in mind......"

Kou Ji said indifferently: "He is not only worried about the musket, but also about the heavy armored horse. ”

Liu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"If he had just been thinking about the musket, he wouldn't have touched my men. Instead, they will find you and me. Now he doesn't look for you and me, but stares at the people under me, obviously thinking about the musket and the heavy armor. ”

Liu Heng groaned, "Do you want to remind your subordinates?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "You and my subordinates are mallets, can't you see An Ziluo's thoughts?" ”

Liu Heng said thoughtfully: "No wonder those Qingtang warriors have repeatedly provoked your subordinates, and your subordinates have not paid attention to them. ”

After a pause, Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji and said, "But people have weaknesses, if An Ziluo catches the weaknesses of your people and uses them to win them over, it won't be good." So you still have to be on guard. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said indifferently: "Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious of employing people......"

Liu Heng was stunned and said: "That Zhang Yuan is also your subordinate, how can you strictly guard against him." ”

Kou Ji said quietly: "Zhang Yuan is different from them. Zhang Yuan is the person I used to convince me. I only controlled Zhang Yuan's people, not Zhang Yuan's heart. Therefore, Zhang Yuan must be strictly guarded.

They came out of Baozhou, and I have a life-saving grace for them.

And they had the heart to repay me with their lives, and to be faithful to me.

Their hearts are in me, so I don't need to guard them. ”

Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng and continued: "Moreover, if Zhang Yuan betrayed me, it would be far more harmful than if they betrayed me. ”

Liu Heng nodded in a deep voice, and said, "Then why don't you look for someone to guard against Zhang Yuan behind your back, but send someone to guard against him openly?" ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yuan is very smart, if I don't have a smarter person in my hands to balance him, then I can only send someone to guard him openly."

If I send someone to guard him behind my back, it will be easy for him to see through it, and it will be easy for him to be bewitched, and it will cause him a lot of suspicion.

It's easier for him to betray me.

Therefore, it is not advisable to guard against him behind his back.

I have sent people to guard against him openly, but he will not dare to be easily bewitched, nor will he have many suspicions.

He'd remind himself all the time that I'm on his guard.

My people will always remind him that I have his life in my hands.

He is not easy to betray me. ”

Liu Heng pondered for a moment, stared at Kou Ji and said, "Smart people always think more than others. So the stupid things that will be done will become more and more. Against smart people, the means of being above board are more effective than those used in the dark? ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "If your aunt can implement this truth, she will not end up today." ”

In the days when Liu E asked the political and capital affairs hall, Liu E held the best card in the Great Song Dynasty power struggle arena.

If she can use fair and honest means to deal with dissidents in the court, she will not come to an end.

It's a pity that she was only smart once, and that was to use an upright conspiracy to overthrow Kou Zhun.

Since then, it has never been smarter.

All kinds of faint tricks and all kinds of insidious means came out together, and they used a good hand of cards to play the worst ending.

"Hey......"

mentioned Liu E, Liu Heng also had mixed feelings in his heart.

He couldn't comment on Liu E, so he could only sigh and express his feelings.

Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji and said, "My aunt has passed away, so don't mention her." Let's talk about Anziluo's plot of muskets and heavy armor. Will you sell the musket to Qingtang? ”

"Probably...... Yes. ”

Kou Ji said uncertainly.

Liu Heng's eyes widened in astonishment, "Such a sharp weapon, do you really want to sell it to Qingtang?" ”

Kou Ji groaned: "You can sell it, but it depends on the timing. ”

Liu Heng asked, "How do you say it?" ”

Kou Ji smiled: "If Qingtang can become my pawn of the Great Song Dynasty, I naturally don't mind selling the musket to them." If not, you'll have to wait a long, long time. ”

"How long?!"

"Maybe three or five years...... Maybe thirty or fifty years ......"

Liu Heng was stunned and said, "The span is so big? Why? ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "Of course, it depends on my mood, if I am in a good mood, I will take the time to make something better." Naturally, the bad things will be sold to them. If I'm in a bad mood and can't make anything better, then Qingtang may not have a chance to be a musket. ”

Liu Heng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"So...... What better can you make?! ”

After a long time, Liu Heng asked in surprise.

Codge gave an uncertain answer, "Maybe...... Probably...... bar. ”

Liu Heng was almost stunned by Kou Ji's words.

Liu Heng pouted and said, "So...... Qingtang may not have a chance with the musket...... Is everything An Ziluo is doing now in vain? ”

Kou Ji muttered, "That's not necessarily. ”

Liu Heng frowned suspiciously.

Kou Ji's words are clearly inconsistent.

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said with a smile: "In the case that I am unwilling to sell the musket to Qingtang, Qingtang is not without a way to get the musket. It's just that there won't be too many. ”

Liu Heng was stunned, his face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Fourth brother can't trust me?!" ”

The meaning in Kou Ji's words was very obvious, how could Liu Heng not hear it.

In the case that Kou Ji was unwilling to sell the musket to Qingtang, and Qingtang could not get the musket through diplomatic means, Qingtang could only rely on nepotism if he wanted to get the musket.

Liu Heng is Qingtang's son-in-law and Kou Ji's best brother.

Kou Ji could not sell the musket to Qingtang, but he would definitely give the musket to Liu Heng.

As long as Qingtang conquers Liu Heng, he can still get the musket.

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't believe you, but I want to give you a reminder." ”

Liu Heng said with a gloomy face: "How can the fourth brother be sure that if Qingtang follows my path, he will definitely be able to get the musket." ”

Kou Ji smiled: "I can't take it from you, can't I get it from your wife?" ”

Liu Heng groaned for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "An Ziluo loves Neiko very much, and he will definitely not embarrass Neiko." ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said: "Family affection is valuable, but compared to family and country affairs, family affection is worthless. You should understand this. ”

When Liu Heng heard this, he fell silent.

The mutton in his hand also became tasteless.

If one day, his wife came to him for a musket, he really didn't know how to refuse.

He knows how brutal the struggle for power is.

He also adapted to the brutality of the power field.

It can also be ruthless.

But deep inside him, there was a particularly soft place.

That's feelings.

In the face of anything, he can remain rational, but he can't face feelings.

He doesn't want to see that one day, because of things in the power field, he and his wife will go to the opposite side.

Seeing that Liu Heng was sullen, Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "You don't have to think so much. The musket I made is very difficult for others to imitate. Three or five muskets will not make any difference when they are exposed to Qingtang.

If Qingtang really has the intention to make muskets, it will also be a good thing for my Great Song.

From the time they got the muskets to the time they made them.

The manpower and material resources required in the middle are far more than those of my Great Song.

It's not more than ten years, it's impossible.

By the time they had made the muskets, I would have made something better.

And during this period, Qingtang must not be able to expand, nor can it pose any threat to our Great Song Dynasty. ”

Liu Heng gritted his teeth and said, "But ......"

Kou Ji interrupted Liu Heng's words, "It's nothing. You don't have to be at odds with your wife because of that. The reason why I am telling you this is to prevent a gap between you and your wife.

She abandoned everything and married my Da Song Dynasty, which was already very difficult.

If it is because of the matter of the musket, caught between you and An Ziluo, I am afraid that I will not be happy for the rest of my life.

If it is because of the musket incident, the two of you and your husband parted ways, it is not what I want to see.

If you really love her, you should treat her well.

Muskets only.

If she is asked for a musket by An Ziluo, you will give it to her. ”

Liu Heng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and said: "Fourth brother, you yourself are still guarding to the death, if it is because of my relationship, let the musket be revealed, you let me face you in the future." ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "Are you stupid?!" ”

Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji in amazement.

Koji continued: "Actually, I researched the musket a long time ago, but I never came out of it. Because I know that once I take it out, it will definitely be revealed.

When the world sees the power of the musket, it will surely be remembered.

At that time, not only Qingtang, but also Western Xia, Liao, Wa, Dali, Goryeo and so on.

But anyone who sees a musket will try their best to get a musket out of my Great Song Dynasty.

When the whole world is worried about the muskets, do you think we can keep them from leaking?

Maybe you don't need to be more interested in it then.

I will steal the musket and sell it myself. ”

The human heart is the most complex.

As long as there are good profits, there will always be people who will take risks.

Since Kou Ji took out the musket, it was only a matter of time before he equipped the entire army of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the muskets were equipped in large quantities to the entire army of the Great Song Dynasty, there would always be people who would take risks and sell them.

No matter how strict the secrecy law is, it can't stop the greedy people.

I didn't read much of the book "Reborn Tokyo as a Voice Actor", but the author's voice is really sweet............ Thanks to the 'Da Luosan people' for the 2,000 book coins reward!
