"Thank you for the compliment......"

Di Qing didn't know what Zhao Zhen meant by 'different', but he still thanked him.

The ministers of civil and military affairs and the envoys of Fanbang stared at Di Qing and discussed.

Di Qing is like a monkey in a zoo, being stared at, stared at, and discussed, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Younger ......"

"Too young......"

"Didn't get to the weak crown, did you?"

"Surely there is no ......"

"Then what qualifications does he have to take charge of the Son of Heaven's army?"

“……”

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs had a lot of discussions.

Even Kou Zhun, Li Di, and Wang Zeng felt that Di Qing was a little young and not enough to command an army.

Only Kou Ji and Cao Wei sat firmly and didn't say anything.

The former understands Di Qing's future achievements, and the latter understands Di Qing's current strength.

"The official family, the appropriate Liao envoy invited to fight, and there was no suitable candidate in the DPRK to fight. Now that the official family is in charge of your pro-army in Beijing, why don't you let him give it a try? ”

Wang Qinruo stared at Di Qing, glanced at it with a smile, and proposed to Zhao Zhen.

He had a plan to test Di Qing's strength and Di Qing's temperament.

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he was a little hesitant and looked at Di Qing.

In the end, his eyes fell on Kou Ji, who had not spoken, with an inquiring look.

When Kou Ji saw Zhao Zhen looking at him, he arched his hand and said, "Official, since the royal ministry wants to give it a try and see if Di Qing is qualified to command the Tiger Army, then follow his thoughts."

Di is young and young, and he is in a high position, which will inevitably lead to impeachment.

Now is the time to test Di Qing's strength.

If he is strong enough, even if he is young, he can take on heavy responsibilities. ”

Wang Qinruo was debunked by Kou Ji's words, and he was not angry, but just looked at it with a smile.

Among the ministers of civil and military affairs, he is not the only one who has this kind of thought.

Almost everyone had the intention of taking a look at Di Qing's strength.

It's just that the others didn't say it, he just said it.

So there is no need for him to worry, his proposal will lead to other speculations, so that people can deduce some of his plans.

"Di Qing?!"

Kou Ji stared at Di Qing and shouted.

Di Qing hugged his fists at Kou Ji and said, "Humble Di Qing, I have seen Shangguan." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said: "The official family, as well as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, all want to see your strength, so you can just give it a go." ”

"......"

Di Qing slowly got up, put on his mask, and stood proudly.

Zhu You got up and stepped aside.

Kou Ji stared at the Liao envoy opposite, and said with a smile: "Just now, the Liao envoy provoked and threatened that I had no one in the Great Song Dynasty, but now he is silent, what?" Scared? ”

"Humph! I, a Da Liao warrior, how could I be afraid of the Song people. ”

"Hoktable! Go, take off the man's head, and present it to the officer. ”

“……”

A burly Liao man got up and clenched his fists, beat his chest, and walked in front of Di Qing with his head held high.

"Song people...... On your knees...... Kowtow...... Admit defeat...... I can not break your neck......"

The Song dialect of the Liao man is not very standard, and when he speaks, he stumbles.

Di Qing stared at the Liao man with burning eyes, and said with some excitement: "If you want to fight, make a move, and retreat to the side without a fight." ”

The Liao man's face was full of anger, and he said coldly: "Song people...... You're a big Liao warrior in Xiaoxun......"

Kou Ji saw that Di Qing and the Liao men were talking cruelly to each other, and said to the Liao envoys: "The fight with bare hands is always less bloody. How about allowing them to use their blades? ”

When the envoy of the Liao State heard this, he was stunned at first, and then a bright smile appeared on his face, "Life and death? ”

Kou Ji nodded, "Life and death don't matter......"

The envoys of the Liao State were very confident in the Liao men he sent out, and Kou Ji was also very confident in Di Qing.

"Take the knife and ......"

A scimitar was sent to the hands of the Liao man.

The Liao man held the knife, and it became a little different in an instant.

Without a sword, he was like a beast of prey.

With a sword, he is like a bloodthirsty beast.

There is a little more fierce killing aura on his body.

Kou Ji sent someone out of the palace and fetched Di Qing's blade.

A heavy gun.

Di Qing was armed with a heavy gun, and with his dark armor, it looked even thicker.

"Whoa......

The Liao people, who got the scimitar, did not hesitate, and slashed at Di Qing with the knife.

Di Qing raised the heavy gun to block.

"Dangdangdang......"

One attack and one defense, the two fought several times.

The Liao man's martial arts are not weak, the knives are fast and clever, and the knives are all cut to the point.

As long as Di Qing was slightly negligent, the Liao man could take his life with one sword.

After seeing the martial arts of the Liao man, the people in the hall who had hope for Di Qing looked a lot more solemn.

Even Kou Ji had a little more solemnity in his eyes.

Only Cao Wei looked at Di Qing's gaze a little stunned.

Di Qing and the Liao man fought again.

Seeing that Di Qing was only defending and not attacking, Cao Wei groaned slightly, and said in a heavy voice, "Don't make a move?" ”

Although Di Qing has always been on the defensive side, Cao Wei can really see the level of his martial arts.

After all, Di Qing's martial arts all originated from Cao Mansion.

Half of them were taught by him.

The other half should have been taught by his unruly niece.

He hadn't taught Di Qing how to use a heavy gun.

Heavy guns are his eldest brother's specialty martial arts.

In addition to him, only his niece will.

What is the combat power of the heavy gun, Cao Wei is clear.

Di Qing heard Cao Wei's shout and knew that he couldn't keep his hand anymore.

Immediately, the heavy gun in his hand turned and swept out.

The Liao man raised his sword to block.

The heavy spear in Di Qing's hand smashed the scimitar of the Liao man.

The Liao man's body trembled a few times, and the scimitar in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Good strength......

The Liao man looked at Di Qing with some surprise and exclaimed.

Di Qing didn't say a word, and the heavy gun in his hand was steadily pierced, stabbing straight into the throat of the Liao man.

After being blocked by the Liao man, he poked along the shoulder of the Liao man.

took away a piece of flesh from the shoulder of the Liao man.

The Liao man seemed to be aroused by the male, gave up the defense, held a scimitar, and attacked bravely.

He seemed to be planning to exchange injuries for injuries, drag Di Qing down, and kill Di Qing.

Seeing this, Cao Wei raised his eyebrows.

The horizontal ones are afraid of being stunned, and the stunned ones are afraid of dying.

Although Di Qing's martial arts are not weak, the Liao man is not an ordinary person.

Now that he has given up his defense, he chooses to exchange injuries with Di Qing, even if Di Qing wins, it can only be a miserable victory.

However.

After Kou Ji saw that the Liao man gave up his defense, he was stunned at first, and then grinned.

He slowly lay down on the back of his chair, no longer worried about Di Qing.

"When ......"

The Liao man endured the pain of being hit by Di Qing's heavy gun, and struggled to cut the scimitar in his hand at Di Qing's waist.

A sound of gold and iron clashing sounded.

The Manchu civil and military forces, the envoys of Fanbang, and the royal family were all stunned.

The scimitar in the hands of the Liao man has become a real scimitar.

The scimitar is folded from the center and becomes an angle.

And on the armor on Di Qing's body, only a shallow introduction was exposed.

In the stunned eyes of the Liao man, Di Qing withdrew the heavy gun and smashed it on the head of the Liao man.

The Liao man's eyes widened and he fell to the ground.

Moment.

Several people stood up.

Qi Qi opened his mouth to question Di Qing.

"What kind of armor are you wearing?"

Di Qing's armor is a good thing, and the scimitar in the hands of the Liao man is not a mortal thing, but a scimitar made of iron.

If it is cut on the foot armor, it is enough to cut the armor of the step man armor and cause damage to the soldiers.

But it was such an iron scimitar, which only left a shallow mark on the armor on Di Qing's body.

At this moment, no one paid attention to the life or death of the Liao man, and their eyes all fell on Di Qing's peeping base.

The same was true of the Liao envoys.

Di Qing handed over the heavy gun in his hand to Zhu You and asked him to take out the palace without answering.

Instead, he bowed his hand to Zhao Zhen and said: "The minister does not disgrace his mission......"

Zhao Zhen was also attracted by the armor on Di Qing's body, he stared at Di Qing's armor, and said, "Not bad...... I look back and have a reward...... First of all, tell me about your armor for me, and all of you...... Isn't it a mortal thing? ”

Di Qing arched his hand and said: "If you go back to the official's house, this armor is made by the craftsmen of Koufu, whether it is a mortal thing, the minister does not know." The minister only knew that this armor was far harder than the Buren armor, but it was lighter than the Buren armor. ”

Di Qing's words made everyone in the hall focus their attention on Kou Ji.

Kou Ji hummed softly under the gaze of everyone.

Everyone in the hall looked at Kou Ji's demeanor differently.

Some people who were peeping instantly lost interest in the armor on Di Qing's body.

There are many good things in Koufu, but none of them are worth remembering.

Some envoys who had a relationship with Kou Ji looked at Kou Ji's eyes burning.

The eyes of the young eunuch, the chief eunuch who will be the two eunuchs, and the young eunuch staring at Kou Ji were full of heat.

Kou Ji looked at his nose and his nose and heart, his face was indifferent, and he didn't say anything.

It's not time to say yet.

We have to let this matter continue to ferment and ferment.

You have to let the steel attract everyone's attention and peep.

At that time, it was time for him to reap the harvest with steel.

"Ahem...... The old minister thought that such skills should be dedicated to the imperial court, and then handed over by the imperial court to the Shaofu and the two eunuchs were in charge. ”

Wang Qinruo coughed lightly and opened his mouth to propose.

Shaofu, the two eunuchs, and the chief officials of the yamen, such as Wensiyuan, all nodded in unison.

Kou Ji smiled and asked, "Then how does the imperial court plan to reward those who offer their skills?" ”

The chief eunuch of the young government said loudly: "According to the rules of the imperial court, those who offer skills should be given officials and money. The official is only seven grades, and the money is not more than one million. ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "That's difficult...... The craftsman in my house is afraid that he will not dedicate his skills. ”

Wang Qinruo said indifferently: "If you are a mere craftsman, you are qualified to negotiate terms with the imperial court." ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "What if it's not a craftsman?" ”

The Shaofu Supervisor hurriedly said, "Servant?" If the servants of the Kou Mansion offer their skills, then the court will naturally not miss the reward of the Kou Mansion. ”

The rest of the people nodded when they heard the words of the Shaofu Supervisor.

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Then his identity must be An Xingbo...... What about the director of the Hook Engineering Department? ”

For a moment, the expressions on everyone's faces froze.

Wang Qinruo and Shaofu Supervisor Zheng's faces turned red with shame for a moment.

They can oppress the craftsmen, and they can oppress the servants of the Koufu.

But how can they be qualified to oppress Kou Ji?

Since it was a skill that Kou Ji had researched himself, with his identity, if he didn't take the initiative to dedicate it, no one would have a temper.

As soon as Kou Ji, Wang Qinruo and others stirred up, the night banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve lost its original taste.

The people in the temple ate tastelessly.

After eating, he took the year-end bonus of the imperial court and left the palace with his own thoughts.

Di Qing and Zhu You were sent out of Bianjing City in advance before the night banquet ended.

The soldiers of the Tiger Character Army outside the city still need to be restrained by them.

After the night banquet ended, Kou Ji put his hands behind his back and just walked out of Donghua Gate, when he was stopped by a group of people who had been waiting in front of Donghua Gate for a long time.

Led by Gao Chu Gong and Cao Wei.

Cao Wei saw Kou Ji and said straight to the point: "The armor on Di Qing's body is made of iron?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Yes...... It's not ......"

Cao Wei hurriedly asked, "What is that?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at the martial arts, and said nonchalantly: "That's a new material researched by my Kou Mansion craftsmen, how can I tell you so easily?"

I told you, how can I make a fortune through them? ”

Gao Di Gong stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "The new material in your mouth, if you buy it, how much money do you need?" ”

The emergence of steel, Wu Xun is far more important than the ministers.

In particular, Koji also made steel into armor.

After seeing the defensive power of armor made of steel, they paid more attention to it.

Although the martial artists are greedy for money, they have been drinking the blood of soldiers.

But that doesn't mean they don't pay attention to armament.

On the contrary, they should be the group of people who attached the most importance to armament in the Great Song Dynasty.

Because they all started with soldiers and horses, and they also used soldiers and horses to gain a foothold in the court.

There are many of them who have to go out of Beijing every year to fight for the imperial court.

While they drank the blood of the soldiers, they still kept one or two elite soldiers and horses in their hands.

That's what they live by.

"How much money?"

When Kou Ji heard that Gao Ji was planning to pay for it, he smiled knowingly, "Is it worth it...... It is not high, it is several times lower than the iron purchased by the imperial court from overseas.

It's only a little more expensive than ordinary iron......"

When the martial artists heard this, their eyes lit up.

One by one, they stared at Kou Ji with burning eyes.

The high place is about to open his mouth and throw a high order.

But before he could speak, Kou Ji said with a bright smile: "But I...... Don't sell! ”

Moment.

The faces of the martial artists darkened in unison.

One by one, they glared at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji said with an innocent face: "What are you doing to stare at me?" I'm not short of money, and I don't plan to make money lately. I can't be too busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, so how can I have the leisure to deal with those new materials. ”

Gao Di Gong glared and shouted, "Don't you give me the face I am waiting for?" ”

Kou Ji smiled dryly and said, "Everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and I will naturally give you face...... Otherwise, I'd like to find a way to get a new set of armor for each of you?

Kindness...... One or two ingredients and one or two gold ...... How is it? ”
