Jing Zhencheng said coldly: "No matter whether the envoy sent to Tang Dynasty took away the token or not, Jin Silan killed four hundred lives with one word, and he can't escape the blame."
Dugu asked: "So you killed him?"
Jing Zhencheng said: "When I met Jin Silan, he was already very old and bedridden. His limbs were weak but his brain was very clear. He couldn't take care of himself but could not die. He also regretted what happened back then. On the contrary, Ask me to help him end it, but why should I take action? Living at this moment is the greatest torture for him, and dying is a relief. I will only wish him a long life and endure endless pain in regret..."
The three of them were silent after hearing this. What Jin Silan did back then was not out of selfish motives, but in fact it took the lives of four hundred people. He said that he suspected that Li Yong had actually obtained the token, probably to comfort himself in seeking relief. That’s all. "
Dugu asked: "However, neither Master Ni Nirvana nor Jin Silan could save the Wu family. In the third year of Shenlong, Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun plotted to depose the crown prince Li Chongjun, but were killed by Li Chongjun. Zhongzong pursued Wu Sansi with the title of As the King of Liang, he posthumously named Wu Chongxun the King of Lu. After the "Tang Long Incident", Ruizong succeeded to the throne. He ordered Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun to behead their coffins, expose their corpses, and level their tombs. The Wu family was almost exterminated. "
Dugu Xiang said: "Have you never seen Nestorianism or others throw out any secrets to save the Wu family?"
Dugu asked: "I think it was the Wu family who colluded with the Wei family to rebel. This was their own fault and not caused by outsiders. That's why the person holding the secret didn't get ahead."
Dugu Xiang sighed in frustration: "It seems that this big secret may never be revealed again."
Jiang Shuo smiled and said: "Xiang'er, it's better not to know about this matter. Now that the Holy Emperor is coming to court, I don't think any secret can shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, but don't harm anyone else's life."
Jing Zhencheng said: "Okay, I have said what should be said and what should not be said. What are you going to do with me? Let's do it quickly."
Jiang Shuo said: "Jing Lang, I didn't want to do anything to you... You were the one who struck out at the slightest disagreement, with a long knife and iron caltrops. We can only restrain you first before we can let you speak properly."
Jing Zhencheng stood up and said, "If that's the case, then I'll go..."
Jiang Shuo grabbed him and said, "Hey... Jing Lang, come on, come on, are you going to find Mr. Li?"
Jing Zhencheng rolled his eyes and said, "That's right! If you want to stop me, do it now." He knew that he was no match for Jiang Shuo, so he simply sat on the couch with his legs spread apart, his hands folded in front of his chest, and his head raised. Waiting for Jiang Shuo to take action.
Jiang Shuo said, "Jinglang, if you want to go find Mr. Li, I won't stop you, but I have a request and I want to go with you."
Jing Zhencheng said: "Hey...are you afraid that I will kill Li Yong?"
Jiang Shuo said, "I just want to go with you."
Jing Zhencheng sneered: "Let me ask you, if Li Yong admits his guilt, will you let me kill him?"
Jiang Shuo thought for a while and said sincerely: "I don't know..."
Although Jiang Shuo respects Li Yong, to be honest, he and Li Yong have only been together for a short time. Although it is now known that Li Yong killed the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty not because he was cruel and easy to kill, but after all, it was four hundred innocent lives. Jiang Shuo really couldn't help it. He knew how to choose, but he had to go to Li Yong because of the treasure of the Jianghu Alliance leader and because of the traitor Cheng Ang. There were some things that he had to ask Li Yong face to face.
Dugu Xiang smiled and said, "Jing Lang, even if Brother Shuo doesn't go with you, you can't kill Li Shijun. Nan Ba is with Li Shijun now. Are you Nan Ba's opponent?"
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: In order to prevent Cheng Ang's sneak attack, Brother Nan Jiyun asked himself to go to Beihai to protect Ambassador Li. Half a year passed, but he also forgot to ask Brother Xu Lai to inquire about Nan Ba, and then thought : Cheng Ang seems to have drifted into the sea. I haven't seen any trace of him in the North Sea during these times. I don't know if he has been to the North Sea.
Jiang Shuo couldn't help but start to get anxious. It was the severe winter season. He originally felt comfortable wintering on this isolated island overseas, but now that he thought about these things related to Li Shijun, he regretted that he couldn't immediately hit the road to cross the Wuhu Sea and return to the Central Plains in winter.
Jiang Shuo said: "If Jing Lang doesn't mind, he will live on the island first and then return to the Central Plains to find Mr. Li after spring comes."
Jing Zhencheng wondered: "This island is so good, why do you have to stay here for a few more months?"
Jiang Shuo also wondered: "In the severe winter, there are ice floes on the sea, making it impossible to cross the Wuhu Sea. Do you want to take the land route? I heard that the roads in the north are also blocked by ice and snow, making it difficult to walk."
Jing Zhencheng said: "Of course it's by sea. I'm riding alone. If it's spring, I won't be able to leave."
What he said made even Dugu Wen find it strange. He asked, "Does Japan have any miraculous magic for walking on the sea? Why can't it be done in spring but can be done in cold winter?"
Jing Zhencheng said: "When I came out of Silla, it was already winter. The roads from Silla to Andong were all mountain roads and had long been inaccessible, so I had no choice but to take the sea route."
The three of them became even more strange after hearing this. Jiang Shuo remembered the raft that Jing Zhencheng took when he came here, and asked, "Did you come here all the way from Silla on this raft?"
Jing Zhencheng said: "I went to sea from Imcunseong, Xiongjin, and used this small raft to follow the coast. The sea does not freeze in the cold winter, but there is a lot of sea ice condensation for three to five miles along the coast. Sea ice is harmful to ship navigation, so It is impossible to sail in winter, but sea ice has one advantage. Under the cover of sea ice, the sea water has no waves. Even a small raft can swim among the sea ice. The raft has a shallow draft and is not afraid of hitting ice floes. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to glide on the ice?”
Dugu Xiang liked these anecdotes the most, and asked: "So that's the case, then why can't we take a raft now that spring has begun?"
Jing Zhencheng laughed loudly and said: "After the beginning of spring, the sea ice melts, and the sea returns to its turbulence. The waves are often as high as a wall, and the small raft collapses and breaks in a short time. Therefore, this method of crossing the sea on a raft can only be used in winter. Pass."
Jiang Shuo was overjoyed and said, "This way we can set off back to the Central Plains immediately."
Immediately he recalled Xu Lai and others, Jiang Shuo said to Xu Lai: "Brother Xu, nothing happens here. We are going to follow Jing Lang's method and cross the sea on a raft and return to the Central Plains now."
Xu Lai was shocked and said: "Young Master, this is impossible! Although I have heard of the method of crossing the sea on an ice raft, crossing the sea in winter is too dangerous after all. It is safer to take a sea boat after the spring."
Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang both have young minds. Young people just like to take risks. It was fine that they didn't know about "crossing the sea on an ice raft" at first. But now they know from Xu Lao that there is such a method, so they must try it no matter what. But what danger are you afraid of?
Jiang Shuo said: "Jinglang came from Silla and has traveled more than a thousand miles on the sea. He can travel a thousand miles, so why can't we only travel three hundred miles?"
Xu Lai said anxiously: "What the Japanese said is not entirely true, young master, don't believe it easily! Besides, this person is an enemy, not a friend. If we go to sea with this person, what should we do if he suddenly gets into trouble in the sea?"
Jiang Shuo smiled and said, "Brother Xu, we are only going to follow the sea ice. If he wants to cause trouble, just fight on the ice."
Jing Zhencheng said: "Although the two of us cannot be called friends, our country is called a country of gentlemen. Since we have agreed to travel together, we will never make a sneak attack halfway."
Xu Lai sneered and said, "I see that your fight with the young master just now was mostly a sneak attack and a conspiracy, but I don't see any "gentleman" tactics. "
Jingzhen Chengdao: "The art of "willing ability and ability" in our country is a practical martial art. It only seeks to win and does not care about anything else, but it will never take advantage of someone's unpreparedness to attack from behind. "
Xu Lai just shook his head and said, "No matter what you say, I just don't believe it."
Jing Zhencheng also said calmly: "Believe it or not, I don't ask you to go with me."
Xu Lai was about to retort, but Jiang Shuo stopped him and said, "Brother Xu, I have made up my mind, so don't say any more."
Xu Lai stamped his feet and said, "Since the young master cannot fly away, then I will go with you."
Jiang Shuo knew Xu Lai's temper and had no choice but to ask him not to follow him, so he said, "Okay, I'll help you, Brother Xu." Then he turned to Qin Yue and Yun Gu and said, "We are in a hurry to return to the Central Plains, so We're heading south through the ice, but you two don't need to take the risk with us."
Qin Yueren glanced at Yun Gu and said to Jiang Shuo: "Little friend Jiang, we have just discussed it. The two of us met again after a long separation. We originally wanted to escape from the world and travel together. It was only because of Dugu Zhang's grief that we couldn't live apart from each other. You have lived together for half a year. After Duguzhang recovers, we are ready to say goodbye. If
Now that you are going south to the Central Plains, you will take this as an opportunity. Let's say goodbye. "
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang knelt down and kowtowed to the Qin Yue people, thanking him for their kindness in saving Dugu Wen, and asked them about their future plans.
This time it was Yun Gu who answered: "Little friend Jiang, just send someone to take us back to the Qingnipu shore. I am originally from Liaodong, and the Yue people are also very familiar with Baishan. We have our own place to go. When we have enough travel, we can Go back to Fuyu Prefecture to find our son. Whether it is the Yan army or the Khitan, as long as they dare to come, they will never come back!"
Jiang Shuo expected that Qin Yue and Yun Gu were going to revisit their old place more than forty years ago. He thought that they had been separated for forty years due to a misunderstanding, but they still had a strong relationship after they reunited, which was enviable. As he grows older, he develops a vague yearning for the relationship between men and women. Jiang Shuo crossed his hands to the two of them and said, "Two old men, no matter what difficulties you or the Lord of the Great Xinyi City encounter in the future, all you need to do is go to the Qingnipu Caobang branch and deliver a message, and Shuo'er will go through fire and water and never refuse. "
The Qin Yue people nodded and said, "Looking back, I know you are a good boy, and we accept your wishes."
Naturally, Jiang Shuo couldn't leave again that night. Jiang Shuo let Jing Zhencheng sleep in the same room as Xu Lai. Jing Zhencheng didn't have anything to worry about and went to sleep at the end, but Xu Lai arranged for someone to keep an eye on him secretly to prevent him from doing anything wrong. move.
The next day, I looked for Jing Zhencheng's raft again but couldn't find it. It snowed all night and accumulated several feet of snow. Xu Lai said, "It's a small raft. It's hard to find it." He immediately arranged for his men to cut down the wood. raft. The Caobang gang were all boat people who depended on the rivers and seas for their livelihood. Their ability to make rafts was much better than Jing Zhencheng's. It only took two or three days to make three or four large rafts. Jing Zhencheng was also amazed after seeing it.
On this day, it was snowing and the sky was fine, and the north wind was not too strong, so everyone was about to set off south. In order to travel lightly, they only took Xu Lai with them. The rest of the Caobang brothers continued to stay on the island and chose the opportunity to send them off. Qin Yue and Yun Gu returned to the shore.
