Jing Zhencheng was still dressed similarly to two or three years ago, wearing a wide robe and long sleeves. In such a cold weather, he still wore wooden clogs at his feet, and hung a long phoenix-headed thousand-ox sword on his waist.
Jiang Shuo calmly let Izanagi enter the house. The Japanese are the most polite people in Japan. When the current sage summoned the Japanese envoy, he once said: "I heard that there is a virtuous king in that country. Looking at the envoy now, there is something different about bowing." That is to say. There is a lot of etiquette when walking, but the posture of bowing when walking is quite different from that of the Tang Dynasty.
Jing Zhencheng entered the room and saluted everyone and said, "I'm going down to Jing Zhencheng, there will be many disturbances." When he saluted, he did not cross his hands or cup his fists like a Tang Dynasty person, but bowed low, with his hands attached to his sides.
Dugu Xiang said, "Hey, aren't you that Japanese Jing Zhencheng?" She couldn't remember Jing Zhencheng's appearance at first, but firstly, Jing Zhencheng was very short, and secondly, his salute gesture was too weird, so Duguxiang looked at him Then I remembered.
Jing Zhencheng didn't recognize who she was. As the saying goes, women change their lives forever. What's more, Dugu Xiang was not the protagonist back then. It was just a casual acquaintance. How could it leave a deep impression? But Jing Zhencheng recognized Dugu Wen behind her. He was shocked, said "Ah yo", turned around and ran away, but the door was blocked by Jiang Shuo.
At this time, Jing Zhencheng also recognized Jiang Shuo and said, "You are that kid." Jiang Shuo smiled and said, "How has Jing Lang always been?"
Jing Zhencheng didn't answer and ran towards Jiang Shuo. Jiang Shuo knew how good his martial arts was, so he didn't approach or avoid him, just waiting for him to strike. Jing Zhenguo actually jumped up in the air and swung his long knife to chop Jiang Shuo on the head. I don't know whether he was too anxious or didn't want to attack Jiang Shuo with his sword. The knife was not unsheathed, and he slashed at Jiang Shuo with the knife and sheath. Jiang Shuo stretched out his hand and slashed Jiang Shuo. The scabbard was attached.
Little did he know that Jing Zhencheng was just waiting for him to pick up the scabbard. The Japanese Kung Fu he learned was called "Zhi Neng Jian", which was full of strange and dangerous moves. Jing Zhencheng pulled back and unsheathed the Thousand Ox Sword. Jiang Shuo had long been prepared for this move and was ready to swing the sword at him. Unexpectedly, Jing Zhencheng did not stab him, but instead he was thrown into the air. , and hit the window on the side. The long knife passed by and the window lattice shattered, and he followed the broken window out.
The second person to be defeated by this strange move would definitely have escaped. However, Jiang Shuo was so quick. He used Bei Xuanwu's Wei Su Step and retreated quickly. Wei Su's name was "Wei Yue Yan", which is the name of Xuan Wu. At the end, the footwork of this palace is the best at interception. Jiang Shuo stepped on the star palace and walked backwards out the door and slid to the window. He stopped in front of Jing Zhencheng. He held the back of the Thousand Ox Sword with one hand and pushed his shoulder with the other, saying: "go in."
Jing Zhenguo actually gave up and threw the knife and fell back into the house. Dugu Xiang smiled and said, "Jinglang, why are you so obedient? Brother Shuo asked you to come in, so you just came in?"
Jing Zhencheng didn't answer. He was shocked at how quickly Jiang Shuo's kung fu had grown. The last time they fought, Jiang Shuo was still a brat who didn't know how to box or kick, but he had a strange inner strength. Today, he won every shot and showed off his style. It was obvious that he had excellent internal and external skills. Although Jing Zhencheng was surprised, he did not stop for a moment. He touched the ground with his foot, then jumped up again and rushed towards another window. This time he had no knife in his hand, only a single palm. Slapping the window lattice shattered the window, but Jiang Shuo was already waiting outside. Jiang Shuo was outside and Jing Zhencheng was inside. No matter how fast Jing Zhencheng moved, he could not break through Jiang Shuo's blockage. When he saw Jiang Shuo outside the window, he knew he was outmatched and did not offer any moves, so he went to slap on the third window.
Jiang Shuo moved to the third window, but no window was broken. He hurriedly waved his hand to push the window open, but he heard Dugu Xiang shouting from inside the room: "Brother Shuo, don't push the window!"
Jiang Shuo saw the opportunity very quickly. He closed his palms midway, turned around, and jumped in through the window that Jing Zhencheng had broken before. He heard Dugu Xiang shout: "Be careful where you step!"
Jiangshuo people were in mid-air when they caught a glimpse of several tiny iron caltrops thrown on the ground. It must have been the trap set by Jing Zhencheng just now, and Jing Zhencheng had already rushed towards the window at the back of the house. Jiang Shuo swung his body sideways in the air, used his strength to kick on the wall under the window, and used the force to shoot out like an arrow, towards Jing Zhencheng.
Jing Zhencheng heard the strong wind blowing from behind and hurriedly rolled on the ground with his head in his hands to avoid Jiang Shuo's grasp. However, several iron caltrops were left on the ground. His kung fu was very different from those in the Central Plains. Insects, ants, rats, and roe deer were scurrying around, looking very embarrassed, but they were extremely practical, and they frequently deployed killing moves during the retreat. Not only were ordinary masters unable to catch him, but they would also be plotted by him if they were not careful.
Jiang Shuo, however, had a bright eye and a bright mind. He changed his moves even faster when Jing Zhencheng was fast. He used the technique of a Thousand-jin Fall and landed on the ground in advance. He swept across the spot and blew a strong wind.
He swept up the thorns on the ground and hit Jing Zhencheng on the back. Jing Zhencheng rolled away with his head in his arms, but then lunged towards Dugu Xiang. He saw this little woman remind Jiang Shuo twice. , knowing that she must be someone close to Jiang Shuo, but he didn't know how powerful Dugu Xiang was. He only knew that she was a delicate girl. How could every boy and girl be as good at kung fu as Jiang Shuo at a young age?
When Dugu Xiang saw him coming towards her, she pretended to be panicked, said "Mom!" and ran away with her head in her arms. Jing Zhencheng also turned around and wanted to get her, but unexpectedly his ribs were numb and he couldn't move immediately. It turned out to be the person behind Xiang'er's back. Dugu Wen sealed his acupuncture points like a ghost. Previously, Dugu Xiang pretended to be afraid of running away, just to leave room for Dugu Wen to take action. After half a year of treatment, Dugu Wen has already recovered. Although he is famous for his Qinggong, his internal strength is not weak. Although Jing Zhencheng had met Dugu Wen at Xixi Villa, he only thought that he was an old artist who was obsessed with music. Who knew he had such skill?
Jiang Shuo walked to the window that he almost pushed in and took a closer look. He saw a thin needle stuck in the gap of the window. If he had pushed the window in just now, there was no guarantee that he would not be pricked by this fine needle.
Jiang Shuo returned to Jing Zhencheng and said, "Jing Lang, we have no grudges in the past and no grudges in the near future. You can just take action as soon as you have a disagreement. How can you use such a sinister trap to kill me?"
Jing Zhencheng said: "What good can I do if I fall into the hands of your Jianghu Alliance today? If Zhencheng dies, he will die. This is a day when the grievances of my grandfather and the more than 400 Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty will never come to light again. "
Seeing that he was filled with indignation, Jiang Shuo stopped his teasing tone and asked, "Jing Lang, have you found any new clues in the past two years?"
Jing Zhencheng glared and said, "You can just ask Li Yong yourself, why bother asking me?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Jing Lang, I don't want to cover up for Mr. Li. I just feel that there are a lot of unreasonable things in this matter. If you have any new clues, I hope you can enlighten me."
Jing Zhencheng said: "Hey... you Tang people are the most hypocritical. Okay, I will tell you the news I have found out in the past two years!"
Jiang Shuo crossed his hands and said, "Jing Lang, I really don't know. If what you say is true, I will not blindly protect Mr. Li."
Jing Zhencheng didn't know that Jiang Shuo had become the leader of the Jianghu Alliance, and thought that this kid had such a loud voice, but he was controlled by others at the moment and had no intention of quarreling with Jiang Shuo, so he said: "Okay, after I left Yuezhou Jianhu that day, although Li Yong admitted that he ordered the killing of more than 400 Japanese in two ships, but he said that he made a big mistake by trusting people's words. I wanted to pursue the truth and find out who the person who sent the message was and why he treated us Japanese people. He was so hateful that four hundred lives were lost because of one of his rumors."
Jiang Shuo said, "But Li Shijun doesn't want to say it, and Jing Lang can't even think about it."
Jing Zhencheng said: "Of course I asked Niu Su first."
Dugu Xiang asked, "Who is Niu Su?"
Jiang Shuo said: "It was Li Shijun's staff who told Jinglang's people about the massacre of the Japanese." Dugu Wen interjected from the side: "I thought you had killed Niu Su long ago."
Jing Zhencheng said strangely: "Niu Su had nothing to do with the murder, so why should I kill him? Although I used some tricks to get him to tell the truth, I repaid him generously after the incident and did not hurt him."
Dugu Wen laughed loudly and said, "I am my father-in-law. I use myself to save others. Jinglang, please forgive me."
Jing Zhencheng said: "However, Li Yong kept this matter very secret, even Niu Su didn't know about it. I can only investigate it myself."
Dugu Xiang said: "Since Li Shijun has hidden this matter so deeply that even his closest confidants don't know about it, where are you going to investigate?"
Jing Zhencheng said: "I think the person who Li Yong can trust unconditionally is either a famous knight in the martial arts or a prostitute in the court. I will first look for the famous elders of various martial arts sects."
Dugu Wen shook his head and said: "I'm afraid there will be no results, Li Taihe and the people in the martial arts world don't walk much..."
Jing Zhencheng said: "Yes, I didn't expect that Li Yong, the leader of the Jianghu Alliance, was not a member of the Jianghu. Although he has a reputation as a knight, he does not know martial arts. Apart from having good personal relationships with the leaders of Maoshan and Shaolin, he has no deep friendship with any major sect. . So I could only look for it among the courtiers."
Jiang Shuo said: "The courtiers back then are now
But there aren’t many left, right? "
Jing Zhencheng said: "In the forty years of peace and prosperity since the second year of Shenlong, many people have lived a long life, and there are really many veterans who are still alive today. I have searched one by one, but there is still no progress. I have made no progress. After searching for clues for two years, I suddenly found a clue. It turned out that Li Yong had more than just Han people, and there was also a Silla proton in the Tang court who was very close to Li Yong. "
Jiang Shuo's heart moved and he asked, "Are they from Silla?"
Jing Zhencheng said: "Yes, Silla and Japan have always been at odds. Especially the Seongdeok King of Silla, Kim Heung-gwang, who built Maofajun for defense against Japan, sent naval forces to fight with the Japanese navy, and expelled each other's envoys throughout his life. Silla was at loggerheads with Japan, saying that he wanted to deliberately frame Japan for sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty, but I somewhat believed it."
Jiang Shuo said: "Then you can't catch the wind and catch the shadow. How is this any different from setting up a trap?"
Jing Zhencheng sneered and said: "Jin Xingguang couldn't wait for me to trap him. Jin Xingguang passed away seven years ago in the 25th year of Kaiyuan, and his posthumous title was King Seongdeok. Besides, Li Yong had no friendship with him, but Silla's The Tang Dynasty expressed its banner and asked to imitate the old system of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period and send royal descendants to the Tang Dynasty as hostages. The hostage at that time was named Jin Silan, who was a disciple of Jin Xingguang and had a close relationship with Li Yong."
