Jing Zhencheng suddenly attacked, catching everyone in the Jianghu Alliance off guard. They had seen Huihe Huairen Khan Guli Peiluo fighting with Gao Bujie before, and they saw Jing Zhencheng also wearing Huihe clothes, so they didn't take any precautions against him. Unexpectedly, he suddenly took Li Yong hostage.
Nan Jiyun immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow, pointed the arrow point directly at Jing Zhencheng, and shouted: "Put down the sword!" The arrow from the Tubo horn bow was very fast, and Jing Zhencheng's sword was not necessarily faster than Nan Jiyun's bow when he shot at close range.
Hun Weiming turned around and asked Dugu Xiang: "Xiang'er... what's going on? Aren't the Uighurs with us?"
Dugu Xiang said anxiously: "Ah! What Huihe? He was disguised by Jing Zhencheng!"
Hun Weiming and Nan Jiyun both said confusedly: "What kind of well is Zhencheng?"
However, Cheng Ang remembered that he and Pugu Huai'en had fought with Ji Du and Luo Hu before. They were so tired that they were leaning on the ax handle and panting. The Japanese at Xixi Villa call the well a few feet or a few feet..."
Inoue Masashige said: "I am a Japanese samurai, Inoue Jizu Shinei, the Han name is Inoue Masashige!"
Cheng Ang said: "Yes, yes, it's just a few inches. The Japanese are short and short, only a few inches above the well."
Hun Weiming scolded: "Stop being ridiculous... Xiang'er, since you know his details, why are you not on guard against him?"
Dugu Xiang pouted and said, "He was helping us just now. Didn't I just remember that he and Li Shijun still had a feud?"
These days, Jiang Shuo, Dugu Xiang and Jing Zhencheng traveled together and got along very well with each other. They actually forgot about the hatred between him and Li Yong. Not only Dugu Xiang, but also Jiang Shuo also neglected to take precautions, otherwise he would With his martial arts skills, how could Jing Zhencheng easily succeed and hold Li Yong hostage?
Hun Wei winked brightly and secretly, and asked everyone from the Zhenze Gang to surround Jing Zhencheng, and a few people quietly walked around behind him, waiting for an opportunity to make a sneak attack to rescue Li Yong.
Li Yong said calmly: "Hun'er, please ask everyone in the gang to withdraw. The personal grudge between Jing Lang and I is all my fault. Please don't hurt Jing Lang again."
Hun Weiming, Nan Jiyun, and Cheng Ang had all heard the story told by Jing Zhencheng that day, so they all knew that Li Yong had assigned master Zhenze to kill two ships of more than 400 Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty. However, Jin Silan misinformed the information and led to Li Yong's death. They didn't know the secret behind the mistake.
Nan Jiyun and Cheng Ang still didn't believe that Li Yong would kill someone out of greed for money, but Hun Weiming was not so determined. He just wanted to keep his family's scandal from being publicized, especially since this matter was deeply involved with the Zhenze Gang, so he couldn't let it go. When Cheng escaped again, his opponent's next most capable officer said: "Take everyone out and get out!" He then whispered softly: "Surround the courtyard and don't let this thief escape."
Everyone in the Zhenze Gang followed the instructions and left the courtyard. Only Li Yong, Jing Zhencheng, Shuoxiang and four others, Hun, Nan, Cheng and Pu, were left in the courtyard. None of them spoke, and they could only hear the sound of the wind blowing through the branches. It was early spring, the leaves had not yet sprouted, and there was no sound of rustling, only the sound of whining and mourning.
After a moment of silence, Li Yong spoke first. He said in a calm tone: "Jing Lang, all the mysteries have been revealed today. I am extremely heartbroken when I learn the truth about that year. You can kill me today. Yong will never give up." Just a complaint." Then he said to Jiang Shuo: "In retrospect, you are the leader of the Jianghu Alliance. You must restrain the gang members. After Jing Lang kills me, don't embarrass him and let him go."
Jiang Shuo said, "But..." He wanted to object but didn't know how to speak. He wanted to persuade Jing Zhencheng to stop, but he didn't know where to start.
Jing Zhencheng said with tears in his eyes: "Okay, I will kill you today to comfort my father and the four hundred compatriots who have been wronged at the bottom of the sea. Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Don't hurt Ambassador Li!"
This shout was deafening, and even though everyone in the courtyard was a master of martial arts, they all felt their hearts swaying, knowing that another master had arrived.
Jiang Shuo turned around and saw two people jumping into the courtyard holding each other. They were both monks, wearing brown clothes and wearing hemp shoes. However, their bodies were very different. One was tall and strong, while the other was not. They are skinny and small, which are two extremes. The body movements of these two monks are so fast that when a group of Zhenze Gang masters outside the courtyard heard the words and tried to stop them, they were unable to do so.
The Zhenze gang rushed into the courtyard following the two monks, but Hun Weiming recognized the tall monk and shouted to the Zhenze gang: "Why are you panicking? Retreat!"
go out! But he crossed his hands to the great monk and said, "What a good day is today? What fragrant wind brought Master Shenhui here?"
That great monk was an eminent monk from Southern Shaolin. The Sixth Patriarch Huineng personally taught his disciple Heze Shenhui. The great monk Shenhui put his palms together and said, "Lord Hunhu, long time no see." He also asked Li Yong, Jiang Shuo, Nan Jiyun and others. Greetings one by one.
While saying hello to Shenhui, Nan Jiyun still held the bowstring and stared at Jing Zhencheng. If he made any move, Nan Jiyun would immediately shoot out the bow and arrow in his hand. The two were so close that it was Jing Zhencheng who cut Li Yong first. It's hard to say whether it was Nan Jiyun who shot through his head first.
However, at this moment, Jing Zhencheng seemed to be in a nightmare. He stared at the short monk who came in with the Shenhui. No one else knew what was going on. Only Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang knew what was going on. This monk had newly shaved his head. His hair and scalp are shiny, his face is quite old, and the beard under his chin has turned all white, but his figure is still tall and straight, not as strong as an old man, but he seems to be shorter than Dugu Xiang, who was the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty. , Jing Zhencheng’s father, Jing Kuanren!
Although Jing Zhencheng was still young when Jing Kuanren left home, he is now an old man and a middle-aged man, completely different from what he looked like when they parted. However, there is a saying that "mother and son are connected, and father and son are innately connected". Jing Zhencheng is one Seeing Jing Kuanren, a strange emotion suddenly surged in his heart.
Dugu Xiang said to Jing Kuanren: "Old crow, please persuade your son to let Li Shijun go." When Dugu Xiang and Jiang Shuo saw Jing Kuanren in the black forest of pine desert that day, he was wearing black feathers. , wearing a beak mask and pretending to be a black-feathered crow-man, so Dugu Xiang called him Old Crow.
Jing Kuanren was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the tall Uighur Hu in front of him and asked, "Is this my son?"
Jing Zhencheng walked on stilts under his robe and had a beard on his face. Naturally, Jing Kuanren couldn't recognize him for a while, but Jing Kuanren didn't wear makeup. Not to mention his dignified appearance, just his height was enough to tell the difference. They are Japanese people. Jing Zhencheng trembled excitedly: "Dogs show off...Wadaxi Lane...oh Duosang?"
Jing Kuanren was shocked when he heard what he said in Japanese language. He looked at it carefully for a long time and said, "Anata...Wahongdongni...Wada Xiwa slapped...Cisse?"
The two of them had lived in the Tang Dynasty for decades, and their native language had become jerky. They both spoke stumblingly, but this did not affect their understanding of the meaning of each other's words.
Jing Zhencheng still held the knife against Li Yong's neck with one hand. With the other hand, he pulled off the beard on his face and wiped it randomly, revealing his true face. At the same time, he shook off the white robe on his body, revealing a section of his body underneath. The stiltsman said with tears in his eyes: "Oh Duosang! Wadaxixisai fell to death!"
"Xisse" is the sound of "Zhencheng" in Japanese.
When Jing Kuanren saw him, he burst into tears and exclaimed, "My son has really come true!" He spent more time in the Central Plains than in his hometown in Japan. For decades, he only spoke Chinese, and when he spoke to his son, he still spoke in Chinese.
Fortunately, Jing Zhencheng was also very proficient in Chinese. He suppressed the urge to rush over and hug his father, and shouted happily: "Oh Duosang, the enemy Li Yong is right in front of you! I will kill him today to avenge my tribe." Jing Zhencheng After living in the Central Plains for a long time, when it comes to speaking, Chinese is much more common than Japanese.
Hearing this, Jing Kuanren hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, my son can't!"
Jing Zhencheng said unexpectedly: "Oh Duosang, although you escaped death, Li Yong was the culprit who killed 400 people in our two ships. Can't we let him go like this?"
Jing Kuanren sighed and said, "I don't know something. From the perspective of the Tang people, Li Shijun didn't do anything wrong."
As soon as this statement came out, not to mention Jing Zhencheng, everyone present was greatly surprised. Jing Kuanren said: "Actually, the reason why Li Shijun slaughtered the ships was because someone conveyed the news to him. It was equally important for the Japanese to be taken away from the Central Plains. things."
Dugu Xiang was the first to say: "Old crow, you are not trying to be mysterious. We all know that it was Jin Silan who passed the news to Li Shijun, saying that the Japanese had taken away Li Jiancheng's heir."
Although Jing Kuanren was quite surprised by her steal, Hun Weiming and Nan Jiyun heard about it for the first time and exclaimed, "What?"
Cheng Ang and Pugu Huaien also asked: "Is this happening?" But judging from Cheng Ang's expression, he didn't seem to be very surprised.
Jing Kuanren said: "You...all know?"
Jing Zhencheng said: "Even if Li Shijun's starting point is good...but it is true that he believed people's words and unjustly killed four hundred envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. How can this blood debt be written off in one go?"
Jing Kuanren's eyes widened, then he glanced at Li Yong and said, "Li Shijun didn't tell you..."
Li Yong suddenly said: "I can't tell!"
Jing Zhencheng heard that there was a secret behind this matter and was confused. He lowered the knife a little and asked, "Li Shijun, what on earth is going on?"
Li Yong still said: "I can't say!"
Shenhui put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Mr. Ruxiang, this secret has been buried for so long, it's time to tell it. Otherwise, do you want to bear the reputation of being cruel and easy to kill until your death?"
Li Yong said solemnly: "What does Yong's honor and disgrace matter? If it is revealed today, wouldn't the protection for so many years become meaningless?"
Shenhui said again: "But now there are people who want to take advantage of what happened back then. If you don't make it clear, wouldn't you be exploited by others?"
The conversation between the two was like a charade, and even Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang were confused. Dugu Xiang was very smart and suddenly realized: "Could it be that the Japanese ship did carry Li Jiancheng's heir? It's just Li Shijun who didn't find it. A lie to keep a secret?"
Jing Zhencheng said: "How... is this possible? Niu Su said that Li Shijun got nothing!"
Dugu Xiang said disapprovingly: "Niu Su is just Li Shijun's subordinate. He doesn't know martial arts. He must not have boarded the ship. What happened on the ship is not what Li Shijun said he believed."
Jing Zhencheng turned around, faced Li Yong and said, "Li Shijun, is what Sister Xiang'er said true?"
