Although the patrol guards all obey Kou Ji's orders, there is still a difference between the parts and the non-parts.

The former was a retainer of the Kou Mansion.

The latter is more like a domestic servant in the Kou Mansion.

On the side of the patrol guards, there is no need for Kou Ji to deliberately order, and the leader of the patrol guards is sent to pass on a word, and it can be easily solved.

Invincible mine cannon, Kou Ji handed it to Zhu Neng on the spot, and told Zhu Neng the specific usage.

The artillery was not handed over to Zhu Neng, and was still in the hands of the servants of the Kou Mansion.

If Zhu Neng needs to use it, he can just order the servants of the Kou Mansion.

After Zhu Neng got the invincible mine cannon, he immediately went out to experiment.

When I came back, I was smiling and proud.

It can be seen that Zhu Neng is very satisfied with the power of the invincible mine cannon.

After everything is accounted for.

The camels that the Hu merchants barbecued were almost the same.

A few Hu merchants carried camels to Zhu Neng's Chinese army tent.

Zhu Neng and Kou Ji sat in the tent.

Led by an old man with a wrinkled face, Hu Shang, explained the dish of roasting camels to Kou Ji and Zhu Neng in broken Chinese.

Hu Shang's Chinese is not standard, but he is very talkative.

In the process of explaining the roasted camel, one interesting story after another was introduced.

Zhu Nengzhi, who listened, clapped his hands and applauded.

Kou Ji listened carefully to Hu Shang's explanation of the dish of roasted camel before he understood.

The main course of this dish is not camels, but eggs.

Kou Ji watched Hu Shang use a sharp knife to cut open the camel's belly, take out a sheep from it, and then cut open the sheep's belly.

In the belly of a sheep, there is a chicken hidden.

Pheasant.

There are a few eggs hidden in the belly of the chicken.

Wild eggs.

This dish was also eaten by Kou Ji in later generations.

Far more gorgeous and beautiful than what you see now.

When Hu Shang carefully placed the eggs on a silver plate on the table in front of Zhu Neng and Kou Ji.

Zhu Neng couldn't wait to invite: "Taste it, the taste is very unique......

In Zhu Neng's eyes, such a luxurious way of cooking eggs can only be called unique.

After all, Zhu Neng, as a gourmet, has eaten countless delicacies from the mountains and seas.

There are not many foods that can make him praise.

A few Hu merchants probably lacked some tools in their hands, and the way they roasted camels was also a little wrong, so the eggs cooked were a little unsatisfactory.

It's not easy to get Zhu to applaud.

Zhu Neng picked up the egg with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and blinked at Kou Ji with satisfaction while chewing.

Kou Ji lifted the chopsticks and pinched the egg, but he didn't catch it for the first time, so the egg ran down the edge of the chopsticks.

Kou Ji was slightly stunned.

Hu Shang was very considerate and gave Kou Ji a two-strand fork.

Koji took the fork, plunged into the egg, and took a bite.

The taste is beautiful.

All the steamed eggs that Cokti has ever eaten tasted better.

Koji enjoyed it greedily.

Seeing this, Hu Shang narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"Venerable Angel of the Song Kingdom, are you satisfied with the delicious food that your humble servant Hatuk has offered?"

When Kou Ji heard Hu Shang's words, he was slightly stunned, put down the fork in his hand, and stared at this Hu Shang named Hatuk.

"Do you know who I am?"

Hatuk bowed his waist very humbly and said, "No one can stop your light...... Your servant, Hatuk, has come to you under God's guidance. ”

Kou Ji glanced Hatuk up and down and looked at Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng swallowed the last egg on the plate, shrugged his shoulders at Kou Ji and said, "That's what he looks like, when I first saw him, he was like this." ”

Kou Ji groaned, "I haven't seen him in Shazhou. ”

Zhu Neng was stunned for a moment and said: "He is a Hu merchant who is traveling in the Western Regions, and during his business in Hexi, he was bumped into by Li Yuanhao and looted. In order to redeem his life, he dedicated all the wealth hidden in the Western Regions to Li Yuanhao, and begged for his life from Li Yuanhao.

When I broke through Guazhou, most of the people in Guazhou City had already been taken away by Li Yuanhao.

There were only a few Hu merchants left.

In order to avoid mixing Li Yuanhao's spies with them, I ordered them all to be killed. ”

Kojihu looked at Hatuk suspiciously.

Zhu Neng coughed dryly and said, "There are only a few of them left......"

Koji stared at Hattuk thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Zhu Neng groaned: "Do you suspect that he is Li Yuanhao's spy?" ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Hatuk shuddered, but did not speak.

He has lived for many years and deeply understands a truth.

At this moment, the more you say, the more you get wrong.

If you want to explain, you have to wait for the other party to listen to his explanation.

Kou Ji heard Zhu Neng's words, shook his head and smiled, "That's not true, no matter how stupid Li Yuanhao is, it is impossible to leave the spies in the open." It's even less likely for you to find out. ”

Zhu Neng nodded slowly.

Hatuk let out a sigh of relief.

I only heard Kou Ji's words turn around, and said: "But their identity is a little doubtful after all, and now is the critical moment of our battle with Li Yuanhao, we can't let them walk around the barracks at will."

Send them into custody first, and then deal with them when the fighting is over. ”

When Hatuk heard this, he was finally silent no longer and hurriedly explained: "Venerable angel of the Song Kingdom...... Your servant is just an ordinary merchant......"

Before Hatuk could finish his words, he was interrupted by Kou Ji forcefully, "No need to say more......

Kou Ji looked at Zhu Neng, "Send someone to escort them down and take care of them." ”

Zhu Neng had no objection to this, and immediately sent someone to escort Hatuk and his party down.

Hatuk and his party walked away.

Zhu Nenghu looked at Kou Ji suspiciously and said, "I sent someone to observe it myself, they are just ordinary businessmen, and there is nothing special about them, why do you want to detain them." ”

Kou Ji smiled: "They are just ordinary merchants in the Western Regions, but outside the Western Regions, it is not necessarily. They are not Li Yuanhao's spies, but they may not be other people's spies. ”

When Zhu Neng heard this, he was even more puzzled.

He didn't see anything special about Hatuk and his party at all.

Why is Kou Ji adamant that Hatuk is not a good person?

Seeing Zhu Neng's doubtful face, Kou Ji explained with a smile: "In the Western Regions, there are many people who respect Buddha, but there are not many people who respect God. The only people who can't do without God are the people of the Qarakhanid dynasty, and even more distant places. ”

Zhu Neng was still puzzled: "But what does this mean?" ”

Kou Ji groaned: "After I arrived in your army, I didn't deliberately reveal my identity. None of your soldiers have visited me, nor have I given orders as an angel.

How did he know who I was? ”

"This ......"

"He should have deduced my identity based on some rumors in the Western Regions, as well as my horse guards. How could a person with such observation be a simple Hu merchant? ”

Zhu Neng hesitated: "But among the Hu merchants, there are also smart people." Otherwise, how to do business in the Western Regions, the land of tigers and wolves? ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "You are right, there are indeed smart people among Hu Shang. But how could a smart person among the Hu merchants take a few people to wander around in the Western Regions? Not to mention, I also had to bring some samurai and guard them.

But there were no samurai around him, and even he himself was not skilled in cutting camels with a knife.

So I concluded that he was not a simple businessman. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's analysis, Zhu Neng nodded suspiciously.

He always felt that Koji must have other evidence to determine Hatuk's identity, but Koji didn't say it.

He didn't ask any questions.

"Since you think they have a problem, then leave them to you to deal with......"

Zhu Neng said casually.

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

The two didn't say anything more, but instructed the officials in the tent to go to the tent and get some wine and food to eat.

For Zhu Neng and Kou Ji.

Eggs, meat and the like don't satisfy their stomachs.

They need to eat some rice and noodles at every meal to satisfy their stomachs.

After a simple meal.

Kou Ji returned to the tent that Zhu Neng had prepared for him.

As soon as he entered the tent, Koji's expression became very complicated.

"I didn't expect that the tentacles of religion have extended to Hexi...... I thought that it would be a long, long time before I could meet them, and maybe I would never be able to meet them for the rest of my life...... I didn't expect to bump into ...... so soon."

"I don't know if the news of Da Song has been sent back......"

"I don't know if the news of the Great Song Dynasty has attracted the attention of that group of people, will they be worried about the Great Song ......"

"If you really think about the Great Song Dynasty, it won't be easy to do......"

"If they give up infighting and wave their troops against the Song Dynasty because of this, then it will be a big trouble......"

"That's a group of crazy people brainwashed by divine will, far more difficult to deal with than Liao......"

“……”

That religion is now in its heyday, and the kingdom of God under theocracy is domineering and has no friends.

But any land that is not bathed in the light of the gods is among them to be requisitioned.

Although now they are fighting among themselves, divided into countless dynasties.

But their beliefs have not changed.

In the future, it will be domineering for more than 200 years.

It won't stop until the more domineering overlord appears.

The current Da Song Dynasty is a trouble if it bumps into them.

It doesn't matter if Kou Ji doesn't show up.

Because the territory of the Great Song Dynasty did not set foot in the Western Regions.

The kingdom of God under the rule of that religion did not break through the Western Regions and appeared on the edge of the Great Song Dynasty.

But now it's different.

Kou Ji is about to take Hexi, and the Great Song Dynasty is about to have territory in the Western Regions.

The news that the Great Song Dynasty had set off a war of hundreds of thousands of people in the Western Regions would inevitably spread throughout the Western Regions.

Naturally, they would know the news of the Great Song Dynasty.

"There could be a collision, but there's no need to worry about it right now. It will take a long time for their internal contradictions to be resolved. If they want to deal with the Great Song Dynasty, they have to take down half of the Western Regions.

The time required in the middle will take many years. ”

Kou Ji pinched his chin and analyzed it, and after analyzing it thoroughly, his heart was low.

It's not that Kou Ji is afraid of those crazy people.

But the current Great Song Dynasty is still too weak to withstand the toss of repeated wars.

"Speaking of which, they have achieved great results in medicine, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, philosophy, history, geography, literature, grammar, etc.

The Pavilion of Wisdom, founded by the seventh caliph al-Ma'mun, is a worldwide treasure.

If you can move back, learn it.

All aspects of the Great Song Dynasty should improve in a straight line. ”

In an instant, Koji remembered the Hall of Wisdom in Baghdad.

Kou Ji knows that knowledge is power.

Although he has learned a lot of knowledge, it is too one-sided and does not cover a wide range of areas.

At most, in terms of science and technology, it can help Da Song improve a few grades.

Although he has dabbled in other aspects, it is difficult for him to stand on his feet and explain the origin of his knowledge after he takes it out.

After all, there is a gap of a thousand years between the knowledge he learned and the knowledge that the Great Song Dynasty has.

The precipitation of a thousand years of human wisdom cannot be made up by Kou Ji's small head.

Moreover, in the process of learning knowledge, he himself mixed too many personal emotions, and his understanding of a lot of knowledge was too one-sided, and if he taught it to others, it would be suspected of misleading people's children.

But with the knowledge in that Hall of Wisdom in Baghdad, it's different.

With that knowledge as a support, some of his knowledge can stand up.

For example, astronomy, medicine, geography, chemistry, etc.

With the support of that wisdom hall, he can confidently and boldly impart his knowledge, without worrying about being dug up and dissected after death.

The most important thing is that once that knowledge is transmitted to the Great Song Dynasty.

Confucian scholarship will suffer a huge impact.

The entire culture of the Great Song Dynasty will begin to change under the impact of those knowledge.

The scene of a dominant family is likely to be ended.

The scene of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending is likely to appear in the land of the Great Song Dynasty.

The next 1,000 years of history will be completely changed.

"Wisdom Pavilion...... Gotta get your hands on it......"

Koji made a decision almost without hesitation.

"While they are in civil strife, they can find someone to print some of the books in the Wisdom Hall and transport them back. When the time comes, find someone to move back in. ”

"For today's plan, let's take Hexi first. After taking Hexi, it is necessary for me to find the one named Hatuk and have a good talk. ”

“……”

What Kou Ji was going to do in the future became clearer and clearer in front of him.

The enemies are stronger than the other.

But Kou Ji not only didn't feel the slightest fear, but also a little excited.

Kou Ji lowered his hand to cover his chest and sighed, "My restless heart......"

Perhaps it is precisely because of his restless heart that he has been dancing on the tip of the knife in later generations or in the current Great Song Dynasty.

……

Kou Ji stayed in the barracks for ten days.

On the eleventh day.

Li Yuanhao in the Yumen Pass moved.

Zhu Neng immediately sent someone to summon Kou Ji to the big tent of the Chinese army.

When Kou Ji entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw Zhu Nenggao sitting in the first place, and his generals gathered in the middle of the big tent.

"The Ministry of Officials has arrived? Sit down! ”

Zhu Neng saw Kou Ji and was the first to speak, inviting Kou Ji to sit on his left side.

Wait until Kou Ji is seated.

Zhu Neng said in a deep voice: "In the evening, Li Yuanhao sent a force of 5,000 soldiers and horses to rush out of the Yumen Pass, and the iron harrier took the lead, tore through the blockade of our army, and headed south. ”
