By the sea, the setting sun shines slantingly.
On the vast coast, there is a vast sea to the west, and jungles to the north, south, south, and south. Several peaks are exposed far and near. The sea breeze blows, the leaves are undulating, the sound is like the tide, and the scenery is picturesque.
A flock of frightened birds suddenly appeared from the forest, chirping continuously, breaking the tranquility of the scenery.
Dozens of people carried a small sedan and ran out of the dense forest in a panic. They raised their heads and suddenly saw the sea in front of them. They looked around hastily and saw that there was nowhere to go. They couldn't help but scream in unison, showing a look of despair.
Immediately, more than a hundred people, each armed with swords and guns, rushed out of the forest. Seeing that the group had nowhere to escape, they all showed ferocious smiles, slowed down their pace, and advanced step by step.
Among the people carrying the sedan, a middle-aged man shouted lowly, and more than ten men behind him drew their swords, shouted wildly, and charged at the pursuers.
Among the pursuers, there was a leader who carried a ten-foot-long sword on his shoulder. He laughed loudly and strode forward to meet him. He swung the sword with all his strength and cut down three or four people with just one blow. The rest saw that he was so brave and their morale was high. As a result, the pursuers moved forward one after another, slashing with spears and swords, killing all ten of them in an instant.
The middle-aged man's expression became more and more ugly. He led a few people carrying the sedan chair back step by step. Not long after, he stepped into the water. After a few steps back, the water reached his waist. From the small sedan chair, a woman's low voice could also be heard. Crying sounds.
When the pursuers saw this, they laughed wildly, bared their teeth, and deliberately acted evil, slowly approaching.
When they reached the water's edge, the leader carrying the big sword showed surprise, pointed his finger into the sea and shouted. Everyone looked at them and saw a huge whale in the distance swimming against the waves, swimming straight towards the coast like a sharp arrow.
The pursuers were amazed at first and looked at it with great joy. Who would have thought that the whale was getting closer and closer without slowing down at all. These people couldn't help being shocked. Those in the sea hurried to the shore, and those on the shore turned around and ran away. It was a pity that it was too late. Night.
But when the tide suddenly surged, the giant whale had passed not far away from the group of people carrying the sedan chair. It rushed onto the coast with a bang and slid seven or eight feet away in front of him. Wherever it passed, the ground was covered with flesh and blood, and most of the pursuers were killed by it. Crushed to pieces.
The remaining pursuers had their livers and gallbladders broken, howling at the cost of their lives, how could they care about pursuing them? They all turned around and fled into the dense forest.
The people carrying the sedan were also washed ashore by the waves and collapsed on the ground, their limbs paralyzed.
The whale was so close at this moment, and it seemed more and more powerful like a mountain. It shook its head and tail for a long time, and then gradually stopped moving.
At this time, the straw curtain of the sedan chair lifted, and a girl in full dress walked out. She looked up at the giant whale blankly, suddenly pointed at a place, and said something. Then she looked at the middle-aged man and said it again in Chinese. : "Father, it seems that this person killed the whale."
The pronunciation and enunciation of words are a bit stiff and weird.
Several people followed the girl's fingers and saw that there was a weapon stuck deeply in the giant whale's eye socket. On the exposed handle, there was a man hanging unconscious. He was holding on to the handle tightly without letting go.
The middle-aged man stared blankly for a long time, then suddenly burst into joy, got up, and said loudly: "This man can even kill such a giant whale, he must be a great person. If he can protect me, Alga girl, you will definitely reach Kyoto successfully."
His accent is also the same as that girl's.
After saying that, he started kicking and beating the people who were still paralyzed on the ground. He murmured like birds, and drove those people up one by one, and then helped each other. Climbing along the whale's back to its head, he spent a lot of effort to save the man. He even pulled out the weapon inserted in the whale, but it turned out to be a boring fork with excellent steel fire. .
The rescued man lay flat on the beach. The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to explore his nostrils and touched his heart. His joy became even stronger and he shouted: "I'm not dead, I'm still alive, I'm still alive, haha, wait." I revived him and begged him to escort us to Kyoto!"
After saying that, he knelt down to the side, massaged the man's chest, took out a black bullet from his arms, put it under his nose and wiped it repeatedly. After a while, the rescued man woke up, sniffed and cursed: " So sour and smelly.”
Then he sat up and looked around. He had a rough idea and said in a deep voice, "Did you save me?"
As he spoke, he slowly stood up. When the middle-aged man and several of his followers saw him, they all felt shocked in their hearts and secretly exclaimed: What a big man!
This arrogant man could not be anyone other than Cao Cao!
Before entering the sea from the Tuomen River, according to Guanzhong's plan, he wanted to walk slowly along the land, bypassing Goryeo, and then return to Dengzhou. Who would have thought that things would be unpredictable -
First, the Virgin Mary of Wuling chased them tail-to-tail, forcing them into the deep sea. Then they had several fights with the mad whale and completely lost their way. The whale also hit the tail rudder and smashed the rudder. Seeing that the ship was about to be shattered and everyone was killed, Lao Cao became angry. , made a violent fork, destroying one of the whale's eyes. The whale ran away in pain, but it was still unconscious. It cut through the waves and ran wildly, and the waves hit each other like a big mouth. Even a tough guy like Lao Cao eventually fainted. .
However, Lao Cao has been in the army for two generations, what storms have not endured for a long time? The desire to survive has long been engraved in the bone marrow. Even though he was unconscious, he still hugged the forked pole tightly with his hands and feet, and finally survived the desperate situation.
When the middle-aged man saw that Cao Cao was speaking in fluent Chinese, he couldn't help but said with joy: "Strong man, it was I who saved you! Ichiro Shisakabe didn't know that the strong man was from the Tang Dynasty? This whale was killed by the strong man." Of?"
Cao Cao looked this man up and down and saw that he had a strong body and a long sword at his waist. He was half a head shorter than himself. Several servants around him were not as tall as this man. He immediately became energetic and straightened his back.
I also saw that the clothes worn by these people were very different from those of the Song, Liao, and Jin countries. I looked around and saw that the sea was in the west. I thought to myself: "Guan Zhong once said that between China, Korea, and Fusang, there are The sea is shaped like a whale, and there are many whale salamanders, so it is called the Whale Sea. To the west of the Whale Sea are China, Korea, and even Tatar and Rakshasa, and to the east is Fusang. Now that the sea is in the west, could it be that I have arrived in the Fusang Kingdom?"
Suddenly he secretly took a breath: I remember that "Liang Shu·Zhu Yi Zhuan·Fusang Kingdom" records that Fusang is more than 20,000 miles east of the Han Dynasty, in the east of China, and there are many Fusang trees in the land, so it is named after it.
I also remembered the poems I had read: "Snow is flying in Yanguan, clouds and waves fall in the sea of whales," and "The land connects the whales to the sea, and the road is on credit with Fengcheng." Arrived here.
I couldn't help but let out a long sigh, cupped my hands to Ichiro Banbe, and said: "To be honest, brother, I am from Shandong in the Song Dynasty. My surname is Wu and my last name is Zhi. I was sent to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy and returned by sea. Unexpectedly, I didn't know where to go." I encountered a giant whale that ruined my voyage, so I took a risk and stabbed it. I was lucky enough to succeed, but was taken to your place by it and separated from my brothers... Hey, I don't know what my brothers on the ship are like now."
Thinking about the destruction of the rudder, even though Li Jun and Zhang Shun were steering the boat, the vast sea, strong winds and dangerous waves, they didn't know if they could return to their hometown alive. They also thought about the time when they fell into the sea, and they would probably die or not, and they had mixed feelings for a while. Even though he has an iron heart, he can't help but shed a few heroic tears.
Suddenly I heard the girl say: "Your brother, nothing will happen to you. It is so dangerous for you to assassinate a whale, but you can survive the danger. It shows that you must be a person favored by God. My brother, I must be blessed with you." It’ll be okay.”
She had lowered her head before, and Cao Cao only felt that she was very graceful, but he didn't pay attention to her. Now when he heard her speak and turned around to look, he couldn't help but look stunned, and was stunned on the spot.
You want to know how many famous flowers Lao Cao has read in his past and present lives? I thought that a woman from a small country, no matter how beautiful she was, would be difficult to catch his eye. However, as far as I could see, that beautiful and delicate face was indescribably moving!
Cao Cao felt his heart trembled, and secretly shouted: That's it, that's it! I have heard for a long time that King Zhou of Yin lost his country because of Daji, and King You of Zhou lost his life because of Bao Si. I always laughed in my heart that they must be short-sighted and have never seen beauties - who would have thought that there are such stunning beauties in the world! If Daji and Bao Si also had such looks, it would not be an exaggeration for them to lose their country and lose their lives. This, this, this, really would be the beauty of a country and a city!
The young girl seemed to have been used to other people's expressions for a long time. She frowned slightly and shook her head and said: "Hey, the slave family thought that people in the country must be polite and courteous, but I didn't expect that they would look at people like this."
Cao Cao's old face turned red, and he quickly collected his thoughts. Taking advantage of his thick skin, he smiled lightly and said: "What about going to the country and going down to the country? You must know that elegance is acquired, and temperament is innate. The love of beauty is purely a matter of By nature, with a girl's appearance, even an ancient sage might lose her composure, let alone a common person."
As he spoke, he turned his head and stopped looking at the other person.
The young girl was surprised to see his frank words. She looked away from Cao Cao again and couldn't help thinking to herself: After all, the people in the country are different from ordinary people. I have never seen him before with this kind of self-control alone.
But Ichiro Banbe was shocked and said quickly: "It turns out that he is the envoy of the Kingdom of Heaven. I didn't know before. I am so rude. Please don't blame me." After saying this, he bowed.
Cao Cao said to Ichiro Banbe: "It doesn't matter, what kind of envoy you are? Now I am just a wanderer who needs your help. Brother, I have heard that during the Tang Dynasty, the Fuso Kingdom repeatedly sent envoys to Chang'an for study tours. They were called envoys to the Tang Dynasty, so they are so valuable." Most of the officials and dignitaries in the country can speak Chinese and understand Chinese characters. I see that Xiongtai and this girl speak Chinese very well. They must be extraordinary people. They are naturally well-informed. Now I want to return to my hometown. I don’t know whether Xiongtai can do it. Can you teach me?"
Ichiro Sakabe smiled and said: "The sending of the envoy to the Tang Dynasty has been a matter of more than a hundred years. However, our country does have merchants who have traveled across the ocean to China. If the envoy wants to return to the country, he might as well go with us to Kyoto. Suffer."
When Cao Cao heard this, he was silent, his eyes swept over the corpses far and near, and he said slowly: "Are you going to Kyoto with us... Could it be that my brother has caused some trouble and needs help?"
Unexpectedly, Ichiro Sakabe was so quick-thinking. He was stunned for a moment and confessed: "That's right! To be honest with you, sir, I am a samurai under Lord Fujiwara Nagami of the Fujiwara family. This time, some people want to stop the algae girl from being sent to Kyoto." , so we chased them all the way, and we accidentally bumped into each other while escaping, and we came here. I watched the strong men slaughtering giant whales. They are tall and must be brave. If they can protect us and reach Kyoto, my family will be grateful. Will send strong men back to China."
Cao Cao nodded and lowered his head in thought. Seeing that he was silent, Ichiro Banbe quickly said: "Fujiwara Nagami-sama was the Nakagami of the dynasty, that is, the Huangmen Minister of the Tang Dynasty. He had friends with many giant businessmen. It is easy for him to return to his hometown."
Cao Cao nodded slightly and thought to himself: I am in this foreign country. I am not familiar with the place, I don’t know the nature of water, and I don’t have much money. I am lucky to meet someone who can speak Chinese. At present, I have no choice but to Walk with him for a while, and it's not too late to make excuses.
He said: "I would like to ask, since your master is so extravagant, who dares to embarrass him?"
Ichiro Sakabe showed an angry look and said bitterly: "They are just some villains with deep selfish desires! I don't want to see the algae girl enter the palace."
"Algae girl?" Cao Cao glanced at the girl.
The girl bowed her head and saluted: "Zaonu is the nickname of the slave family. The name given to me by my adoptive father is Tamamozamae."
"Tamazaomae?" Cao Cao read it in a low voice and couldn't help but nodded: "It's a good name."
Before he finished speaking, someone shouted: "Brother, why are you here, where are the other brothers?"
There are different teachings: The overlord is sleepy in the palace, and there is a romance on Fuso Island. Now I am intoxicated with flowers, and I have been ecstatic in front of Yuzao several times.
Too much work today, no time to make up for it. . . Will definitely make it up tomorrow.
