As soon as Hua Rong finished speaking, he saw the sea surface surging. He immediately raised his bow and arrow, waiting for the saw dragon to show up, and then gave it a headshot!
At this moment, the waves turned, and the three Ruan brothers emerged from the water. Each of them stepped into the water. The water was only around their waists. Three people and six hands were holding the saw dragon horizontally. There were many wounds on the dragon's body, and it was bleeding.
Zhang Shun laughed loudly and held his hands in his hands: "Ride the waves and slaughter the dragons, the three heroes of the Ruan family are well-deserved! Hurry, hurry up and pull them up."
The last sentence was to instruct the sailors around him. Ruan Xiaoer waved his hand slightly: "Why bother, everyone on the ship will give way!"
After shouting everyone away, the three brothers shouted a chant and raised their arms together. But when they saw the big fish, they shouted and threw it directly onto the boat, causing everyone to scream in surprise.
The three people in the sea laughed in unison. Ruan Xiaoqi patted his chest and said: "Happy, happy! I have only been able to show off my skills in the water. Men like us should really be struggling in the sea."
Li Jun's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly pointed his hand and shouted: "Brother Qi, stop surfing, get on the boat quickly, another shark is coming!"
Ruan Xiaoqi said nonchalantly: "If one comes, one will die. If two come, both will die! Kill the fish and make them salted, take them back to the mountain, and let the brothers cheer."
Just as he was feeling proud, Ruan Xiaoer received a heavy slap on the back of his head. His brother's voice changed in his ears: "Silly brother, run!"
He and Ruan Xiaowu stood on one side, holding Ruan Xiaoqi's arms and leaving. Ruan Xiaoqi was confused and looked back. With just one glance, his hair stood on end with fright——
What do you think? But in the rolling waves, at some point, countless vertical fins appeared, either far or near, breaking through the waves one after another. Judging from their size, there were less than 200, not more than 100, so many black sharks. Shark, don't say that Xiao Qi is just nicknamed Living Yama, even if the real Yama is here, I'm afraid he will be eaten by it.
Fortunately, Zhang Shun and others were very agile and immediately threw down several ropes. The three brothers each grabbed hold of them, stepped on the ship's bang, and walked straight up. However, they heard a sound of waves behind them, and a mako shark more than ten feet long suddenly jumped out. On the water surface, he opened his mouth and looked at Ruan Xiaowu before biting. Cao Cao and others exclaimed in unison.
It's too late, but it's soon! Seeing that Xiao Wu was about to be kissed by a shark, he heard the sound of a string and a sharp arrow shot through the air. It plunged into the mouth of the shark, then shot out from the gills, bringing out a few drops of blood. Painful, he threw his head violently and fell heavily into the sea.
"Brother Hua Xian, what a magic arrow!"
When Cao Cao saw that Ruan Xiaowu had escaped, he was filled with joy. While praising Hua Rong, he stretched out his hand and pulled the Ruan brothers onto the boat one after another.
The three of them were in shock. They thanked Hua Rong again and again. Then they looked down on the side of the boat. They saw sharks that were five or six feet short and two or three feet long. They were biting into a ball beside the boat, making the sea water seem to be open. , white bubbles bubbled up, and the black and gray bodies appeared and disappeared from the water, reflecting the speckled sunlight, making people unable to open their eyes.
However, he wanted to bite Ruan Xiaowu's black shark. After taking Hua Rong's arrow, his flesh was broken and bleeding. These sharks smelled the blood and came like a group of evil ghosts. At this moment, they were aroused by the fresh blood. Who cares? Are they the same kind? They bit each and every one of them, and a large shark that was about ten feet long was devoured in an instant.
Ruan's three heroes saw it and were secretly shocked: just one or two of these fierce fish can swim across the water. Who would have thought that there would be so many of them in the sea? When the three of us had just killed the saw dragon, if we had stayed at the bottom of the water for a moment longer and were surrounded by them, wouldn't it mean that we would be dead but not alive?
For a moment, the three people looked at each other. The contempt they had for killing the dragon had disappeared completely, leaving only awe in their hearts.
Ruan Xiaoqi swallowed and said bitterly: "That's all, I'll get two of them and let the chef cook them, so I can have a meal to calm my shock."
After noon, the cook on the ship indeed cooked several large pots of shark meat. When everyone tasted it with great interest, they couldn't help but curse: "Damn cook, has the kitchen been turned into a toilet? Is the fish cooked with excrement and urine? Why does it smell like urine? ?”
Everyone was angry for a while, saying that the cook was incompetent and wasting rare materials. Zhang Shunqi said: "I am a cook, a fisherman with a long history, and I have always prepared good seafood. How could I fail?"
Immediately, he called the cook to ask. The cook took a chopstick and ate it with relish. He smiled and said, "Yes, the whale shark smells like urine. If you nobles really want to eat it, they have to be dried for several months before roasting. The smell of urine is just a little lighter.”
He looked around at everyone and then said: "Actually, the beauty of whale sharks is all in its fins. This is what Tokyoites call 'golden silk vegetables', and its price is more than gold. But it's not easy to make, and it's hard to taste it at the moment. It’s here.”
Ruan Xiaoqi said angrily: "So, it's all in vain!"
He immediately rushed into the kitchen and found the bone saw that the chef had chopped down. He found a piece of wood and tied it tightly. The exposed piece of wood was like a sword hilt. He played with it a few times and tied it to his back. I want to go back to the mountains.”
When everyone saw his bulging mouth and childish look, they couldn't help laughing, and all the urinating fish meat was poured into the sea to feed the fish.
After traveling like this all night, we arrived at the shore early that morning.
In front of the port, more than a dozen armored men were sitting around. When they saw the ship coming, they immediately jumped up. Cao Cao stood on the bow of the ship and watched. He saw that these men were majestic, with ferocious expressions. They had no hair on their heads, and some had a hair on their foreheads. Small pieces, some are bare, with a ring of hair around it, tied into two braids, hanging behind the ears, wearing a leather jacket covered with armor leaves, holding spears, axes, iron rods and other soldiers , all wearing bows and arrows.
When Ma Zheng saw it, he exclaimed: "Such a brave man must be a golden soldier!"
Before he finished speaking, the Jin soldiers shouted one after another. Ma Zheng couldn't understand. Hu Yanqing and Gao Yaoshi listened for a moment, discussed a few words in a low voice, and then answered in Jurchen language.
Xu Guanzhong was behind Cao Cao and said softly: "They asked us where we came from. Commander Huyan said that we are from the Song Dynasty and came across the sea to see the Emperor of Jin to discuss important matters."
At this time, Hu Yanqing and Gao Yaoshi exchanged some words with the Jin soldiers. Xu Guanzhong's face turned angry, and Cao Cao hurriedly asked: "Are the Jin soldiers rude?"
Xu Guanzhong nodded and said: "What that guy said is that when you come to our land, Nanman, you should take off your armor, abandon your weapons, tie yourself up and kneel down to see us. That's the right thing to do. Hu Yanqing said that this is not the way to treat guests. , the guys said, if you don’t disarm and restrain yourself, we will personally capture you and the others, and kill them into the sea to feed the fish. Only you and the others will know how powerful you are.”
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed loudly, slapped the side of the ship, and shouted: "The barbarians are so rude! They just beat a few Liao dogs, and they are so arrogant! Guanzhong, tell him, we are Han warriors, there is no such thing as The principle of disarming, if he is like Luo Lu, take them first, and then go talk to their emperor!"
When Ma Zheng heard this, he immediately panicked and shouted: "Wu Jiedu, don't want Meng Lang!"
Cao Cao said angrily: "If I don't do anything, will I be like a prisoner and let them escort us to see the Jin Emperor?"
The judge heard that in fact, if Cao Cao was not around, this would be the case: the envoys encountered some patrolling Jin soldiers who "grabbed people and seized things", "ignored questions and repeatedly tried to kill people" "Not to mention resisting, he only dared to whisper when he cried out in pain. Later, Yaoshi Gao mustered up the courage and "debated again and again" and repeatedly claimed that he had secret things to tell Emperor Jin. This way he escaped death, but the treatment was not that good. " Then he was tied up and walked." He was tied up and walked for more than three thousand miles. After going through many hardships, he finally saw Aguda.
Although Lao Cao wants to see whether the Jurchen is real or not, he has no interest in putting his life in other people's hands. If this is the case, he will pat his butt and return to Qingzhou to build up his troops. He will not look at the real or fake. We will see each other in the battle in the future. .
This time Xu Guanzhong got Lao Cao's order, and he looked stern and loud as expected, but when he heard the proficient Jurchen language rolling out, not only the Jin soldiers were stunned, but also Gao Yaoshi and Hu Yanqing looked at each other -
Although the two of them claimed to be able to speak the Jurchen language, Gao Yaoshi was a poor man who had fled the sea and had little knowledge. Hu Yanqing knew a little bit about it. He told Tong Guan that it sounded like what he said, but the Jurchens didn't quite understand. Therefore, the general answer is based on these two discussions.
However, when Xu Guanzhong spoke at this moment, his pure pronunciation and appropriate vocabulary were just like what the Jurchens themselves said. Hu Yanqing heard Cao Cao mention it and knew that this man traveled with his father when he was young and stayed in the Jurchens for two years. But I never expected that he said it so well.
After Xu Guanzhong said what he said, the ten or so golden soldiers were not angry, but laughed. One of them picked up the horns around his neck and blew it. After a while, more than a hundred golden soldiers jumped out from all directions, dressed like the ten golden soldiers. A few seemed to be the same, half of them were riding war horses, and one seemed to be the leader, riding a tall horse, wearing iron armor all over his body, and an iron helmet on his head, but the fur of the helmet was exposed at the edges and seams of the armor. .
This leader is extraordinarily taller and stronger than the other Jin soldiers. He is holding a mace in his hand. He is in his thirties and has a beard all over his face. After hearing the report made by the Jin soldiers, they immediately raised their heads and laughed. They pointed their maces at the boat and murmured some words. All the Jin soldiers under their command laughed in unison.
Everyone looked at Xu Guanzhong, who quickly translated: "This guy is a plotter, responsible for guarding this port. He said that he knows the capabilities of the Han people in the Southern Dynasties. They kill the Khitans like dogs, and the Khitans kill us like pigs." Generally speaking, we dare to say big things like we will kill them, which is as ridiculous as a three-year-old kid saying that he wants to hunt tigers. He also asked us, are all the Han people in the Southern Dynasties so good at bragging?"
After that, he explained: "In the Jurchen military system, three hundred households are called a Mou Ke, and ten Mou Ke are called a Meng'an. To put it simply, Mou Ke can be regarded as a centurion, and Meng'an is regarded as a thousand men."
Cao Cao said: "So, this guy is an upright man in the village on weekdays, but he is a leader in the war. Haha, tell him, it's okay if you don't believe it. I've heard about the Jurchens' bravery for a long time, and I'm about to see it. Those who sow will fight with us, and we will divide the victory and defeat equally, and then we will see who is the warrior and who is the pig or dog.”
Ma Zheng was shocked when he heard this and shouted: "Wu Jiedu, it's a national matter, how dare you provoke a private fight?"
Cao Cao was furious and turned his head violently. His eyes were full of murderous intent and he stared at Ma Zheng.
When Ma Zheng was stared at by him, he felt his whole body froze, and his blood froze. How could he dare to look at him? He quickly turned his face away and muttered: "What I mean is, pay more or less attention to propriety, don't, don't miss the chancellor's important event."
"Don't bother to care!" Cao Cao put away his murderous intention and said coldly: "If something goes wrong, I will take the blame myself and have nothing to do with you! It's just Doctor Ma, forgive Wu for being frivolous, but I have to warn you - who if If you dare to do something bold and ignorant before a foreign race, don't blame me for using his blood to boost the morale of the army!"
Ma Zheng was shocked when he heard this and took a few steps back. If Hu Yanqing hadn't helped him, he would have almost collapsed.
According to Tong Guan's pay, this mission was actually based on Ma Zheng. Cao Cao's duties were more like a bodyguard, and he would show a little force at certain moments to avoid being too underestimated by the Jurchens.
However, how could Ma Zheng's submissive appearance catch Cao Cao's eyes? Nowadays, most of the people on the ship are his. If they really pissed him off, it wouldn't be a big deal to kill all Ma Zheng and others and conveniently frame it for Liao.
Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing were not stupid either. Cao Cao's betrayal immediately made them see their situation clearly. Although they were secretly ashamed, for a while, they had no other choice and had to let Cao Cao easily take over the power. .
Just when Cao Cao was angrily reprimanding Ma Zheng, Xu Guanzhong had already translated his words. The Jin soldiers laughed again. The plotter said a few words and waved his hand. The Jin soldiers stepped back a hundred steps and gave way to the boss at the dock. Come to the clearing.
Xu Guanzhong reported: "This person said that it is boring to watch the sea all day long. Since we are willing to make fun for them, let's just fight ten games. Whoever wins more will be considered the winner."
Cao Cao turned around and said: "Have you heard it, brothers? Ten competitions, let ten brothers win for me!"
After hearing this, Zhang Shun and Li Jun set up the springboard with their own hands. The brothers under Lao Cao each wore armor and held troops. They took out their horses from the bottom warehouse and rushed ashore.
Sun Li was the first one and shouted: "Jurchens, listen up, I am Sun Li, the sick Yuchi. Who dares to fight with me?" After saying that, he turned over and got on the horse.
When Fang Muke saw him mounting his horse, he took a closer look, suddenly frowned and started chirping.
Sun Lida said: "Is he reporting his name and nickname?"
Xu Guanzhong shook his head: "No, he is saying that our horses have been on the boat for a day, and their legs and feet are weak. They must be raised for two days before they can go into battle. They are really good men and do not want to take advantage of us, so they made an appointment with us." Step fighting."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions moved slightly.
Sun Li laughed and said, "In this way, although these people are arrogant, they are also upright! Tell them that I am Sun Li, the 'Sick Yuchi'. Because I see their generosity, I will spare their lives for now!"
Xu Guanzhong translated accordingly. Of course, the other party could not understand the word Yuchi, so Xu Guanzhong translated it smoothly as "sick general".
The Jurchens laughed after hearing this. The Muke shook his head as he spoke, and suddenly pointed his hand. A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old nodded, picked up his spear, dismounted and came over.
Sun Li frowned and said, "Isn't that right? Look at this kid. He doesn't even have a few armor plates on his leather jacket. It shows that he's not a warrior. Could it be that they look down on me?"
Xu Guanzhong showed a rare look of embarrassment: "Well, the other party's plan said that you told the other party that you were sick before the battle. You can imagine your courage. You also used the words of sparing the other party and hinted that they would not kill you. It is obvious that you are a shameless person. You're a brave little clever guy, so I sent their youngest boy here to play with you."
As soon as the words came out, Cao Cao and the others, who had serious expressions on their faces, couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh. Sun Li blushed even more and shouted: "When did I say that I was sick? Who is suggesting that they won't kill me? You, what on earth are you doing? Translation?"
He was considered a shrewd person. He frowned and thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "These savages don't know Yuchi Gong!"
He was secretly angry in his heart: Since I became an artist, I, Sun Li, have never been defeated except for the last time I was captured under Qingzhou City. Even when I was captured, Qin Ming and Huang Xin fought against me together, and Hua Rong helped me with cold arrows. It can be said that even though he was defeated, he was honored, but he was looked down upon by this savage today! Humph, if I don't show my prestige today, who under Brother Wu's will be willing to take a high look at me, Sun Li? "
When he saw the young Jin soldier approaching, he strode away. After taking a few steps, he turned his spear upside down and stuck it on the ground. He walked a few more steps and took off the bow and arrow. There was only a single whip left in his hand. Over there, Jin Guomou When Ke saw it, he shouted loudly.
Xu Guanzhong translated: "The guy said that this clever little guy is up to his tricks again. Ignore the soldier under his command and just use his own killing method!"
While they were talking, the two men came closer. The golden soldier roared and stabbed him in the chest.
Cao Cao looked at it and his expression suddenly changed slightly. Hua Rong cheered in a low voice: "What a gun!"
Lin Chong was also surprised: "A young man, Xiaojun, has learned the three words of stability, accuracy and ruthlessness when shooting a gun. The Jurchens are brave and brave, and it is true!"
Sun Li was also slightly surprised. He thought that with just this one shot, he would be able to defeat anyone under me. However, among this group of golden soldiers, this person seems to be the weakest?
But he was surprised. Compared with his own, this level of martial arts was still far behind. He deliberately showed off his skills. His body swayed and his left chest suddenly moved out of the way. The golden soldier was about to return the gun, and the tiger's eye on Sun Li's right hand The steel whip had already been lifted up, and it hit the gun shaft with a snap, preventing the opponent from retracting the gun. He took the gun shaft with his left hand, and wiped the steel whip down the gun shaft quickly. The golden soldier was shocked and said to himself: Isn't this guy a clever little guy? How do you get such good skills?
He quickly abandoned his spear and stepped back, about to pull out the short knife from his waist. Unexpectedly, Sun Li's steps were taught by an expert. He jumped forward and had already grabbed the enemy's spear. At this time, he had already abandoned the enemy's spear. Press your left hand on the head of the short sword. How can you pull out the golden soldier? Immediately, he let out a strange cry, dropped his sword, and hugged Sun Li from the waist. Sun Li suddenly retreated and struck him three times with his whip, all of which stopped three inches from his forehead. He then pushed out with his left palm and pushed the soldier away. , looked at the other party and said nothing.
The Mou Ke had a look of surprise on his face, and then he performed a Jurchen courtesy, murmured in his mouth, picked up the mace, and got off the horse.
Xu Guanzhong said loudly: "Brother Sun, he said thank you for sparing his brother-in-law's life. You are not bragging. You are indeed a good man among the Han people. To show respect, he wants to fight you personally. He called Wanyan Chudu Book."
Everyone looked solemn after hearing this. Unexpectedly, a mere Mooke turned out to be a member of the Wanyan family!
There are some teachings: There are boat-eating beasts in the sea, but there are no tiger-bound ministers on the shore? Sun Li showed off his martial arts with a single whip, but the Jurchens couldn't do anything but the Han people!
