"No need, I can wash it myself."

Feng refused his help, and Kou Ziqing had to stand for a while before going back. Suddenly, Feng stopped him and asked him to wait for him in the lobby. Kou Ziqing agreed, and sat cross-legged on the straw mat to think about something.

"Should mathematics teach children Arabic numerals? If this is used, they should be able to learn quickly, but will this disturb the process of history?"

There are monsters and ghosts in this world, but the general history has not changed. At least Kagome’s era of Warring States was still ended by Oda Nobunaga and others. Kikyo accidentally revealed his true feelings when he came back from buying a book that day, questioning why the gods don’t care about the monsters and ghosts in this world.

Apart from other reasons, Kou Ziqing thinks that the most important thing is that he knows what will happen in the next 500 years. If he is really a god, he will know that they naturally let this kind of lucky son complete this great achievement.

Although there is Kagome coming back from the future in this world, it is also under the rules of the "Day of Heaven" and has no effect on the future of the Warring States Period. However, when Kou Ziqing was conscious, what he did was "out of plot". Kou Ziqing is not a celestial master of luck, and he has no physique to change the future without karma.

"Why do you care so much? I feel that the higher my realm, the more afraid I am of fate. In reality, this kind of fantasy manifests the will of the world. Why should I always be afraid? The stone belongs to me, and the world also belongs to me. .”

After Kou Ziqing was troubled for a while, his heart suddenly became clear, and he felt that his fear was wrong. Cultivating immortals is something against the sky, otherwise there will be three disasters and nine disasters. It’s not that you won’t come because of fear .

"Awaited."

After finishing cleaning up, Feng walked in and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt that Kou Ziqing had become a little different, but he couldn't tell where he was, Kou Ziqing said:

"Feng, what do you want to tell me?"

"That... you don't want to teach girls?"

"Eh?"

"There are several households in the village who all have daughters. They also paid you, but because they don't have sons, they pay in vain. It is a very sad thing in this world whether it is a high-ranking official or a farmer without a son."

After Feng hesitated for a while, he still said it, and Kou Ziqing said:

"You're mistaken. It's not that I don't want it. In fact, it's up to the village chief and the village elders to decide who to send."

"If you express your willingness to accept it, I will discuss it with the village chief."

Feng seems to have a lot of sympathy for this kind of family with only daughters. In fact, if it were not for the existence of Kikyo, sisters like them without parents and brothers would not be able to survive in the village. If you are lucky, there may be a way for adopted daughters like child brides-in-law .

Kou Ziqing was about to say something when Kikyo walked in and said:

"Feng, I know you don't like it, but there's nothing you can do about this kind of thing. If you go to the village chief, he'll just hesitate a few times and let it go."

"Then sister, where are you coming?"

Everyone in the village understands that the village is under the protection of Kikyo, so there are no soldiers, officers and soldiers to collect taxes, no bandits and bandits dare to plunder, even if there are ghosts and ghosts who attack for the jade of the four souls, they will be shot to death outside the village.It can be said that if Kikyo opened his mouth, he could talk about anything.

Kikyo didn't speak but looked at Kou Ziqing, as if waiting for him to pay attention, Kou Ziqing knew that Kikyo didn't want any rights from the villagers, so what she said was equivalent to overriding the authority of the village chief and the elders, even though they didn't send girls It's not fair, but it's a matter of "people's will". Kikyo understands that forcibly disobeying this kind of thing is much more difficult than subjugating demons.

"This matter can be mentioned, but don't be too anxious. The boys don't have much progress in their studies now. After these children graduate, I will recruit some female students in my own name."

Feng seemed to be a little bit aggrieved, but Kikyo nodded in agreement with Kou Ziqing's idea. It doesn't matter if it's a few months or even a year or two late. Fighting for the so-called "equality" is just a child's whim.Kikyo guarding the village is voluntary. If this behavior is regarded as a kindness, then these mountain villagers who have lived through hardships in the Warring States Period will be so grateful that it is hard to repay.

The human heart itself is like this. Although Kikyo is young, he sees it very clearly. After all, ghosts and monsters are born in people's hearts. Kikyo said to Kou Ziqing:

"That's it for this matter, Izayoi-kun, go and get your Xueyin knife, and I will teach you how to enchant weapons according to the previous agreement."

When he said Xueyindao's name, Kikyo emphasized his tone, and blinked playfully, obviously teasing someone, Kou Ziqing coughed and said:

"Ok."

A few minutes later, when Kou Ziqing was going to the open space of the shrine with his samurai sword and Kikyo, suddenly a few farmers ran over and said:

"Miss Kikyo."

Kikyo stopped and said with concern:

"what happened?"

The villagers took a breath and said:

"There are officers and soldiers coming, they seem to be sent from the city."

Chapter 13 The Heartless Horse

In the Warring States period, human life was like a mustard. In order to survive, the villagers actually worked very hard. When they had free time, the strong men in the village would spontaneously train and patrol together. Although there were no rules, they were still alert. Thieves or low-level demons dare to go up, but they are still somewhat afraid when facing officers and soldiers, after all, they have the reputation of righteousness.

"Officers and soldiers? How many people?"

Kou Ziqing was surprised. Could it be that the city lord's name or something didn't want to see Fengzhi Village's land income of hundreds of stones being idle, so he chose to collect this land.After all, Kikyo is a commoner priestess, without An Du and Zhixing saying that this village belongs to her, it would be unfair.

"About ten people, but not ashigaru, all soldiers with real weapons, even wearing leather armor."

The villagers observed very carefully, and the ashigaru were recruited from among them farmers. They all had their own weapons and even directly held farm tools such as hoes, but the real officers and soldiers were different. There were ten soldiers in full armor and wearing leather armor. Not a mob.

"Go and see."

Kikyo frowned. If it was a monster attacking, she could shoot to death with one arrow now, but the officers and soldiers can only see what their purpose is. As long as they don't turn soldiers into bandits to rob the village, she can't do it. Kikyo has no right to object to awarding this village to a certain high-ranking samurai as territory.

The peaceful atmosphere in the village became tense because of the arrival of the officers and soldiers. Women and children were sent back home and the doors were closed. Although the young and middle-aged people wanted to take weapons or something, they were afraid of being accused of rebellion, so they had to go together in twos and threes. If it's not right, you can turn around and run away, at least you can get a bow and arrow or a hoe to protect yourself.

Soon the officers and soldiers arrived, and the one who walked in front was still riding a horse. Compared to his size, the horse was a bit small, but riding a horse and sitting in a sedan chair was also a status symbol, and the group of soldiers was indeed armed. Wearing leather armor, and walking in an orderly pace, it can be seen that there is a bit of elite appearance.

Not far from the village, the warrior on horseback got off his horse and came over. When he saw Kikyo and Kou Ziqing, he saluted and said:

"Miss Kikyo and Izayo-kun."

Kou Ziqing and Kikyo were stunned for a moment and then recognized that the polite warrior was Kurosawa Zaemon. In fact, Kou Ziqing should salute in his capacity. After all, they are senior warriors and officials who are highly valued by his city lord. Kou Ziqing quickly waved his hand road:

"Kurosawa-kun, you are insulting us, we are all just civilians."

Kurosawa said sternly:
