As soon as Hwarang fell to the ground after being thrown out by Jiang Shuo, other warriors stepped forward to hold him back. They were surprised to find that these Hwarangs seemed uninjured but were all paralyzed on the ground without any resistance. The people of Silla did not know that this was the secret technique of acupoint-pointing in the Central Plains martial arts, and that Jiang Shuo used the small skill "The Universe in the Sleeve" taught by Zhao Rui. The technique was quite hidden. No one knew how he performed it, but he actually made a person The fierce Hwarangs had no power to resist, they only thought that Jiang Shuo was really a fairy boy sent by the mountain god of Baekdu Mountain.
Jiang Shuo turned around and looked for Jin Rende again, almost getting angry. When the other Hwarangs were besieging Jin Liangxiang, Jin Rende, the culprit, got up and ran away. Now Jin Liangxiang and Jin Wanzong's warriors did not let him go. , all waved their weapons to block his way. Jin Rende did not dare to engage in the battle and just ran away. However, there were many warriors surrounding him. He panicked and turned back. Jiang Shuo felt angry and amused. He rushed forward and poked him at the Zhangmen point on his lower side. Jin Rende's legs suddenly became numb and he fell to the ground.
All the Silla warriors swarmed up and tied up Jin Rende, and then they all knelt down and worshiped Jiang Shuo, apparently worshiping him as a god. Jiang Shuo didn't have time to stop them from kneeling, so he helped Jin Liangxiang up first. He saw that Jin Liangxiang's arms, legs and feet had been scratched a lot. It looked scary that he was covered in blood, but upon closer inspection, he saw that He had a skin injury, and Jin Liangxiang's martial arts was not weak. Although he was unable to break free from the siege earlier, he was able to dodge and move around with short strikes. Fortunately, he did not suffer any fatal injuries.
When Jin Wanzong saw that Jin Liangxiang was covered in blood, he couldn't help but worry, and shouted: "Look back, please open my acupuncture point quickly, I have medicine for the wound."
Jiang Shuo stood up and said, "My lord, I can help you with your acupoints, but you can't touch Jin Shizhong again."
Jin Wanzong said anxiously: "Ah... don't you understand the current situation? These monkey cubs are playing both sides, and I asked them to be deceived... Please unblock my acupuncture point quickly, and I will personally apply the medicine to the good minister."
Jiang Shuo then unblocked Jin Wanzong's acupuncture points. It was winter at this time. Jin Wanzong saw that Jin Liangxiang's blood had frozen on his clothes. It was so cold that he did not dare to tear open his clothes and could not apply the medicine. He couldn't help but become anxious.
At this moment, I heard the sound of ice-breaking coming from the south, and a huge stern ship emerged from the wind and snow. However, it was Niu Shenxing who led the Dengzhou navy to arrive. The Tang ship was equipped with an ice-breaking iron ax on its bow. Able to crush the ice and rush closer,
Hundreds of soldiers of the Tang Army on the ship took aim at the Silla warriors with crossbows in their arms. The Tang Army was covered by the battleship ramparts, and the crossbows fired at a speed several times that of the longbows. Compared to the Silla warriors who had no cover on the ice, they were invincible. The place of defeat. Niu Shenxing held onto the railing and asked Jiang Shuo first: "Young Master Jiang, how are you?"
Jiang Shuo said: "I'm fine, but this Jin Shizhong is injured and needs treatment as soon as possible."
Niu Shenxing shouted to Jin Wanzong and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Jin Wanzong crossed his hands and said, "I have Jin Wanzong from the Silla Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, who is an official worshiper of Jiaogan." He pointed at Jin Liangxiang and said, "This is Jin Liangxiang, the minister of Silla."
Silla is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and the official name of the country is "Silla Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty". The Grand Superior is not an official title but a rank. He is the head of the "Hebaek Assembly" that is governed by the royal nobles of Silla Kingdom and the king. Therefore, what Kim Manjong reported was His official rank in the imperial court was "Jiaogan". At this time, Silla's official rank system was mixed, with his own original system and one made by the Tang Dynasty. Niu Shenxing didn't know what the official "Jiaogan" was, but he knew that the official rank of Shizhong was One of the prime ministers couldn't help being surprised.
Although Silla is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, after all, the other party is the leader of Silla. Niu Shenxing is just the son of a small town guard. He has not yet officially obtained an official status, but he does not dare to make any mistakes for the time being and ask Jin Wanzong for help. Crossing hands with Jin Liang, he said: "During these nine cold days, why did the Silla people approach our Datang military port without warning? You two... seem to be still here... this... performing martial arts... this... where does this come from? ?」
Niu Shenxing saw that there were many Silla warriors lying on the ground, and more than a dozen people were tied up with ropes. He knew that they were having internal strife, but he couldn't say the word "fire", so he held it in for a long time and said " Perform martial arts."
Jin Wanzong was a man of integrity, but he did not conceal his true feelings and said: "I misunderstood Jin Shizhong before and almost made a big mistake. Now he is injured. Please let him go to the city for treatment."
Is Niu Shen's behavior such as this? "The regulations of the Tang Dynasty stipulate that officials from the subordinate states are not allowed to enter the Tang Dynasty unless summoned. Not to mention that you still have an army, so you must not enter the city."
Since fourteen years ago
After the Haiguo raided Dengzhou, the Tang Dynasty strengthened its defenses against the vassal states. It stipulated that all ministers from the vassal states entering the Tang Dynasty must issue a certificate issued by Honglu Temple and be certified. If the army transits the border, they must have a fish talisman issued by the Ministry of War.
Jin Liangxiang said: "Young general, I have done something wrong." As he said this, he reached out to take it from his arms, but there was a knife wound on his hand. At this moment, ice and blood were congealed on the wound, and the whole arm was wooden. Can't lift it up.
Jiang Shuo hurriedly rushed forward, took out a folded official certificate from his arms, and said to Jin Liangxiang: "Your Excellency, I will deliver it for you." When Jin Liangxiang nodded, he jumped onto the bow of the ship. Although the ship was no bigger than a giant sea loach ship, its side was still seven or eight feet high. Jiang Shuo actually jumped aboard easily, and the Silla warriors on board the Tang warships couldn't help but cheer together.
Niu Shenxing opened the document and saw that it said that Jin Liangxiang had been conferred the position of "Secretary and Supervisor of the Inspection School". Although the word "inspection school" was not actually awarded, it was still an official rank in the Tang Dynasty. Niu Shenxing hurriedly crossed his hands and said: "Please ask the Golden Supervisor to board the boat and follow me back to Shuicheng for treatment of his injuries. Are the others waiting... I'm sorry that we can't entertain you."
The sergeants immediately lowered the rope ladder to pick up Jin Liangxiang, but Jiang Shuo said, "Don't bother me, I'll come." He jumped off the boat again and helped Jin Liangxiang to get on the boat again. Jin Wanzong stopped him quickly and said, "Su So, take your time, take your time..."
Jin Wanzong took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Jiang Shuo and said, "This is my Silla Golden Medicine. It is quite effective. I can't enter the city, so I can only trouble Young Master Jiang." Then he said to Jin Liangxiang: "Good Prime Minister, I was deceived by the brats and misunderstood you. I can't stop you from going to the Tang Dynasty to become an official. As for whether and how to implement restructuring after returning to China, we will leave it to the long term."
Jin Liangxiang crossed his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency."
Jin Wanzong waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me. I haven't agreed to your comprehensive restructuring yet. Everything will be decided by the Hebaek Conference. Even the Holy King of Silla cannot act willfully."
Jin Liangxiang knew that it was very difficult for Jin Wanzong to make such a concession, so he immediately stopped arguing and nodded: "I have been in the Tang Dynasty for three years, or at most five years. I will definitely return to China, and then I will explain the restructuring method in detail to the superiors. .”
Jin Wanzong nodded and said: "Okay, you can go to Chang'an with peace of mind. It doesn't matter if it takes three years or five years. I will suppress the monkey cubs like Zhenguhualang in Silla."
Jin Liangxiang crossed his hands and bowed three times to Jin Wanzong. Jiang Shuo said, "Your Majesty, let's go." After saying that, he took Jin Liangxiang and jumped onto the bow of the ship. He had already attracted cheers from everyone when he jumped onto the warship empty-handed. Carrying one person, it was still flying freely, and suddenly a thunderous sound erupted on the sea.
Jin Liangxiang bowed to Jin Wanzong again on the boat, and Jin Wanzong returned the salute and said loudly: "I'm going back now, you guys, tie up all the traitors of Jin Rende and Yingying, and we can make plans when we get back."
The samurai wearing red hats brought by Jin Liangxiang all looked at Jin Liangxiang on the boat. Jin Liangxiang waved his hands and said: "The misunderstanding has been resolved. You all can return home with the superior. The superior is magnanimous and magnanimous, and it will definitely not be the case." It will make things difficult for you."
Jin Wanzong also smiled and said: "Monkey cubs, if you can't enter the Tang Dynasty or go to Chang'an, come back with me."
Niu Shenxing said: "Jinjiaogan, your boat is trapped in the ice floe. I will send a boat to clear the channel for you."
Jin Wanzong said with an arrogant look: "No need! The Silla warriors have their own way." After saying that, he quickly returned to the ship with the Silla warriors. They dug the ice by themselves and slowly got out of trouble and returned home.
Seeing Jin Wanzong and others leaving, Jin Liangxiang swayed and suddenly fell down. If Jiang Shuo hadn't been there to support his waist, he would have almost fallen off the boat. Although he was not fatally injured, he lost too much blood and was even more likely to fall off the boat. The weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and the body is rapidly losing temperature, which is still very dangerous.
Dugu Wen saw that Jin Liangxiang's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his body was as cold as a dead person. He hurriedly said: "This is hypothermia! Shuo'er, please give him some heat quickly, otherwise your life will be in danger."
Jiang Shuo hurriedly stretched out his hand to touch Jin Liangxiang's lower back, turning the Gang Qi into hot current and slowly injecting it into his body. Dugu Wen, Xu Lai and others took off their outer robes and wrapped them around Jin Liangxiang's body. In half a cup of tea, Jin Liangxiang looked at each other. Only then did she regain some of her ruddy color. Niu Shenxing ordered all the sergeants to return to Shuicheng quickly. This ship was a warship specially designed for sailing on ice. It was completely symmetrical at the front and rear, with axes at both ends and rudders at both ends. There was no need to turn around when walking on the ice. Returning to the same place saved a lot of trouble. .
When the ship returned to the port, Niu Shenxing pointed to a large house on the shore and said: "There is a check-in room with a charcoal fire. Send the Jin prison there quickly." Jin Liangxiang has an official status in the Tang Dynasty. If there is anyone good or bad, Dengzhou There is also a lot of trouble in the house, so Niu Shenxing is also very nervous.
Jiang Shuo didn't wait for the boat to dock, but when he was still two feet away, he flew out with Jin Liangxiang in his arms, landed lightly on the pier revetment, and rushed into the check-in room without touching his feet. This room was very big, and there was a fire inside. The several large charcoal pots were indeed very warm, but there were many rotating soldiers inside the room who were resting and keeping warm. Suddenly, they were surprised when they saw the door curtain opened and a young man rushing in with a middle-aged barbarian in his arms. Seeing that Jiang Shuo was a young man, they all stepped forward to grab his shoulders without using their weapons. While grabbing him, they yelled: "Who is it!" "Stop!" "What are you doing?" "Ah..." "Ouch..."
It turned out that Jiang Shuo didn't have time to explain to them. When he encountered someone blocking the way, he didn't use his hands. He just bumped the person with his shoulder and knocked the person away. The star steps under his feet were so magical that the soldiers could not catch him. , and couldn't avoid the impact on his shoulder. Several people fell down in an instant, and everyone in the big house fell on their backs.
The sergeants were shocked and angry, and were about to draw their weapons. At this time, Xu Lai rushed in and shouted: "One of our own! Don't do anything!"
