The three of them stood on the stern of the black ship, each looking for a gap between the wooden boards to look inside. Jiang Shuo had done the same thing once this spring. He didn't expect that this scene would happen again today. It was just that he was the only one that day, but today It's three people.
Jing Zhencheng seemed to be very familiar with this kind of listening to others. He was like a big gecko hanging on the board of the boat, motionless, and his breathing became extremely slow. Jiang Shuo knew that he had no internal skills, so he admired Japan even more. As expected, the martial arts of all countries and ethnic groups have their specialties.
It was the first time for Dugu Xiang to do such a thing, and he seemed quite excited. He kept twisting his body, looking inward along the cracks in the boards, and sticking his head out to look around. Fortunately, the north wind suddenly picked up and it started to snow. Come, the sea below is surging, and the sea water and ice floes are hitting the hull in turn, causing the black ship to shake violently. The huge sound made by the wind, snow, waves and the hull itself completely drowns out the slight sound made by Dugu Xiang, Jiang Shuo Knowing that nothing was wrong, he concentrated on looking into the ship through the cracks in the planks.
I saw that the layout of the cabin was almost the same as what I had seen half a year ago. The owner sitting in the middle with his back to Jiang Shuo was wearing a black cloth turban. His back seemed to be much wider than that of the fussy king that day. On the brocade carpet in front of the owner A golden big brazier was placed, and charcoal fire was burning inside. Jiang Shuo felt waves of heat licking his face through the wooden board, but the owner was still shivering from the cold.
Looking at the two sides again, sitting on one side is a row of big cannibals wearing black robes, and on the other side sitting at the last seat is an extremely tall man. At this moment, he has taken off his mask, and it turns out that he is the Liuyao of the Trailing River. He turned to Runke. He had his hands clasped in front of him. It seemed that his broken arm had healed, but he lowered his head and did not look as arrogant as before. The person sitting first with his head bowed was a young man with a round face and a slender face. Sitting next to him were two scholar-looking people, an old man and a young man.
The old man was not Gao Buwei. Different from Gao Buwei's wretched appearance, this man had a rather good appearance, but there was a ferocious look in his eyes. He was Yin Ziqi, Beimingzi's first disciple! The chief young man and the young scholar are naturally An Qingxu, the second son of An Lushan, and Yan Zhuang, the official of Kong Mu. Looking behind them, brothers He Wanzai, He Qianqian and a group of Xuanji Formation warriors were accompanying them.
Jiang Shuo couldn't help but feel his scalp tightening. The last time Jiang Shuo was able to win against Xiang Runke, he took advantage of Xiang Runke's broken arm. Now that he was facing Xiang Runke who was recovering from his injury, Jiang Shuo was not sure of winning, let alone There is also Yin Ziqi with a full set of Xuanji Formation.
Jiang Shuo thought that he should not act rashly today. He only wanted to find out the purpose of Yan Jun and Da Shiren gathering here, and then make long-term plans when he went back. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look around, lest he be discovered. I saw that the stars and moon in the sky had been completely covered by dark clouds, the north wind was whining, the wind and snow were blowing, and everything was dark.
The stern of Da Shi Hei's ship is raised high, and it is a blind spot when viewed from the ship. Da Shi Ren Yuan also took this into consideration and arranged the three ships in a Z-shape, with the middle ship protruding in front. The lookouts in the lookouts on both sides of the ships could monitor the situation on the poop at any time, but unexpectedly, the lookouts on the three ships were all killed by Jing Zhencheng. At this moment, in the thick darkness, it was difficult for the patrolling people on the decks of the two ships to spot them. There were people hanging on the poop.
Jiang Shuo took a look around the surrounding situation and then felt relieved. He put his eyes on the cracks in the board again and looked inward. The master sitting in the middle could be heard cursing in a big way that Jiang Shuo couldn't understand. Jiang Shuo saw the smile on An Qingxu's face, but asked Yan Zhuang impatiently: "What is this guy talking about?"
Yan Zhuang said: "King Naowen is talking about the weather. He is saying that the North is too cold. They come from the South and suddenly arrive in this icy and snowy North. It is really unbearable."
It turned out that this person was just a joke. Why was he so much fatter than before? When Jiang Shuo thought about it again, he immediately realized that it was not that he had become fat, but that he was covered in brocade robes and fox fur. A lot fatter.
An Qingxu muttered: "I haven't complained about the rocking of the ship. This big black ship looks very intimidating. Why is it rocking so much when it's anchored at the anchorage?"
Yan Zhuang said softly: "It's not the big man-eater's fault..."
An Qingxu said: "What's going on? His man-eating ship is not good, so why should we be blamed?"
Yan Zhuang said: "It's not our fault..."
Yin Ziqi snorted coldly and said, "If Captain Xiang hadn't tied an anchor to the ship we encountered today,
Why is the pirate's feet suffering from such bumps now? "
Jiang Shuo then remembered that when he rescued Peng Gufan in the ice sea, Peng Gufan had indeed tied a thick hemp rope under his feet. Although the anchor fell into the water and his true appearance was not visible, judging from the weight of the anchor, It's a big anchor. Jiang Shuo withdrew his head and saw Dugu Xiang looking at him with a smile and pointing at both ends of the poop.
Jiang Shuo took a look and saw a thick rope hanging from the left side of the poop, which was the same as the one tied to Peng Gufan's feet. The rope was stretched straight at the moment. There must be an anchor pulling it in the water, but the right side was empty. There should have been a similar long rope on the side, but this piece of iron anchor was used by Xiang Runke to tie to Peng Gufan's feet and thrown out. No wonder Xiang Runke had kept his head lowered since just now, with his face There is shame.
Jiang Shuo brought his eyes to the gap again and saw that Yan Zhuang was comforting Nao Wen with the big food language. Nao Wen also babbled a lot. Yan Zhuang translated to An Qingxu: "King Nao Wen asked An Shuai to ask him out. We are meeting here, why is it you, the young master, who is here? It seems that he is a little unhappy and his words are quite rude."
An Qingxu hurriedly crossed his hands and said to Nao Wen: "My father was originally going to come in person, but this summer Emperor Tang suddenly saw a move and he had to go. He has been gone for almost half a year and has not returned yet."
Yan Zhuang translated it to Nao Wen, and Nao Wen asked in detail again. This time Jiang Shuo could hear some nervousness in his words.
Yan Zhuang said: "King Naowen asked, could it be that the saint discovered some clues and detained Zhongcheng?" Naturally, Naowen didn't know that Anlushan held the title of Zhongcheng, the censor of the court. This was Yanzhuang's addition to Anlushan. honorific. "
An Qingxu smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty trusted his father very much. This summer, the military governors from various towns entered the court. After Huangfu Weiming led his army on the expedition, the other military governors returned to their bases. , only my father was left by the saint. After the Qianqiu Festival, he went to Huaqing Pool in Lishan Mountain with him, so he did not return."
Yan Zhuang then translated Nao Wen's words and said, "King Nao Wen said, it was agreed that there would be a five-pronged attack, but why did the Tubo attack first?"
An Qingxu said: "It was not the Tubo who sent troops, but the Tang Emperor who took action first. It is not known whether he noticed any changes in the Tubo before attacking Shibao City first. However, the Tubo army was strong and they had already defeated the Longyou Jiedu envoy. Huangfu was wise and killed the deputy general Chu Li."
An Qingxu said that the Tang army was defeated, with a look on his face. Jiang Shuo was so angry that his knuckles cracked, and the hard teak board shattered in his fingers. Jing Zhencheng noticed something was wrong and hurriedly patted Jiang Shuo gently. Shuo, Jiang Shuo stopped now. If Jing Zhencheng had reminded him for a moment, Jiang Shuo would have dug through the thick board.
Naowen was very happy, laughed, and talked a lot. He said solemnly: "King Naowen said that the Tang army is indeed strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The Western Army is said to be the strongest combat force of the Tang Army, but it is only mediocre. The Tubo army is a partial force. Then they were defeated."
An Qingxu said: "That can't be said. In war, in addition to looking at the soldiers, we also need to look at the generals. It is true that Huangfu Weiming is an idiot, but if it is a famous general like Wang Zhongsi or Ge Shuhan, Shibao City may not be impossible to win. .”
Yan Zhuang hesitated and said, "Second Young Master, An Zhongcheng ordered us to do our best to discredit the Western Army so that Da Shi can make up his mind to attack the Tang Dynasty."
An Qingxu waved his hand with a look of disgust and said, "Then just follow this idea and say it yourself."
Yan Zhuang crossed his hands and bowed to An Qingxu, then turned around and spoke to Nao Wen with joy. Sure enough, Nao Wen was overjoyed and danced and laughed. It seems that Yan Zhuang did not translate what An Qingxu said, but turned to Nao Wen. What he liked was to make the Western Army of the Tang Dynasty extremely miserable.
An Qingxu said: "Okay, don't brag. Ask him when Dashi will send troops to Tocharo?"
When Jiang Shuo heard him say "Tochar", he thought to himself, isn't this the land on the far western frontier of the Tang Dynasty where the Persian Protectorate was located? If Dashi wanted to attack Tochara, I would have to try to inform the Persians. However, I also thought that the great sage from Qinyue had not returned to the Central Plains, and he could not go back to look for him. Suddenly, I thought that Nestorian Dharma King Yis was not a Persian. What? Maybe he could find a way to inform the Persians in Tocharia that Yis had given him the address of the Nestorian Persian Temple in Chang'an in Luoyang, Jiangshuo. Anyway, after returning home, he had to go to Chang'an Jingsi Temple to find Yis.
At this time, Yan Zhuang translated the text and said: "It is a foregone conclusion that the Abbasid family controls the entire territory of Dashi, but the centipede of the Umayyad Dynasty is still alive. It will take some time to completely seize power." He said. He added: "The king of troublemaking please
Don't worry, Second Young Master, Tochara is close to Khorasan, and Khorasan is the fundamental place of the Abbasid family and can mobilize a large number of soldiers. As long as the leader of Abu seizes the throne of Dashi Khan, the next step is to capture Tochara. Fire land. "
An Qingxu stroked his hand and said, "That's great... We have Dashi in the west, Tubo and Nanzhao in the south, I have Dayan in the east, and Uihe in the north. One day, if we work together, it will be easy to destroy the Tang Dynasty."
Jiang Shuo was even more shocked after hearing this, and thought to himself, why does Huihe vent his anger through the same nostril as An Lushan? He had experienced the Kung Fu of Pei Luo, the Great Khan of Uighur. If the hero of Mobei really wanted to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, it would be very difficult to do so. As for Nanzhao, Jiang Shuo remembered that Dugu Wen said that when Beimingzi challenged the heroes of the world, he had fought with Nanzhao King Piluoge. I heard that Piluoge's Qi sword skills were also extraordinary... By the way, Li Guiren's Did Qi Swordsmanship also come from the Piluo Pavilion sect? These questions and mysteries cannot be clarified for a while.
Just when Jiang Shuo was lying outside the poop tower thinking, he suddenly heard someone shouting, and the voice seemed to be behind him. Jiang Shuo hurriedly turned his head and looked back, only to see a group of important warriors in black, two boats diagonally behind. There was shouting and shouting on the boat, and it seemed that the three of them were discovered. Jiang Shuo was not familiar with Da Shi Wen, so he didn't know what the Da Shi warriors were shouting, but they must not be good words. He was doing the method of sex, but he heard a strong wind blowing in his face. He quickly tilted his head, but heard a bang, a crossbow. Shot on the side of his head. The arrowhead sank into the wood, and its tail feathers were exposed and trembling.
