Chapter 2: Silla (7)
Kim Yushin was the first bone of Silla, a royal nobleman.
He is eighteen years old, but he has a pivotal position in 'Hualang'. He joined Hwarang at the age of twelve, and became a Hwarang samurai at the age of fourteen.
Guoxian is the title of the leader of Hwarang, and he is also an important auxiliary minister of the king of Silla, similar to the existence of the prime minister.
Eighteen-year-old Jin Yuxin won such an honor. Not only because he is a royal nobleman, but also a leader in martial arts and the art of war.
At the age of fifteen, he entered the army, and in a series of conflicts with Baekje and Goguryeo, he made great achievements.
The emperors of the Sui Dynasty went to war with the Goguryeos, and Jin Yuxin was probably the most excited. In his opinion, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty was going to move seriously, and Goguryeo was not vulnerable at all. Therefore, he repeatedly admonished the lord of Silla, Kim Bojing, and the prime minister Wennu, requesting to send troops to Goguryeo to assist the Sui Dynasty army in the battle. However, due to the obstruction of the Mimuro clan, his admonition was ultimately not approved.
Not only that, but Jin Yuxin was also driven out of Jincheng and stationed in Hibiscus Town.
What made him incomprehensible was that the person who suggested that he be kicked out of Jincheng was actually his mentor, Hualang Guoxian Wennu.
Before leaving Beijing, Wen Nu said to Jin Yuxin: "Take this departure from Beijing as an experience...... Now that Goguryeo has not perished, we cannot act rashly. Once the Sui Emperor is defeated, the Goguryeo people may not be able to retaliate against the Sui Emperor, but they can take revenge on us.
So, what we have to do is wait quietly...... Making the right choice at the right time is what we should do. ”
What is the right time and what is the right choice?
Kim Yushin didn't understand it when he first arrived in Hibiscus Town. But with the Sui Dynasty's army approaching the city of Pyongyang, after a strange defeat, Jin Yuxin seemed to understand! The seemingly vast Sui empire may not be able to wipe out the Goguryeo people. And the battle situation in Liaodong seems to prove this even more. Silla is not suitable to participate in this war, and if they want to survive and grow, the best way is for the Goguryeo people and that huge empire to constantly fight, consuming the strength of both sides in order to seek benefits.
To put it nicely, it is called a sandpiper and a clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman.
If you put it more bluntly, it's to make wall grass. The strong over there leans over there, and once you overtake your opponent, you can turn your face and not recognize people.
In fact, the Silla people have always survived in this way.
When the Goguryeo people were gentle with them, they showed submission; When the Goguryeo people showed malice towards them, they bowed their knees to the Central Plains people. Silla said that it was absorbing the civilization of Middle-earth, but in fact? They don't know what propriety and shame are.
As the princess of Silla, Kindman led the Hwarang samurai to Hibiscus Town.
Jin Yuxin was originally very happy, but he never expected that Jindeman would disappear mysteriously overnight.
Who kidnapped the princess?
Kim Yushin sent the Hanarang samurai to search around. Not only did they blockade the town of Hibiscus, but they also set up checkpoints around the town of Hibiscus.
But Kindman was never heard from.
Kim Yuxin did not dare to hide this matter, and on the second day of Jindeman's disappearance, he sent someone to Jincheng to report to the lord of Silla.
After the letter was sent, Jin Yuxin led his troops to continue to search Jindeman's whereabouts. From early morning to night, Jin Yuxin was sleepy and returned to Hibiscus Town.
Who could it be, robbed the princess?
Kim sat in the gazebo, enjoying the cool breeze of the summer night while pondering the mystery of Kindman's disappearance.
Could it be that it was done by the Sui people? Some time ago, the Goguryeo people sent an envoy to Silla, saying that there was a Sui army that was moving towards Silla. It is said that he wanted to return to the Sui Dynasty by Silla. This was originally not a big deal, but the problem was that the commander of this Sui army actually killed Gao Baobao, the son of Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo. And it is said that he is also a famous person of the Sui Kingdom, which immediately attracted the attention of Jin Yuxin.
Jin Yu believes in the culture of Middle Earth, so he has also heard of Zheng Yanqing's name.
Even, he still has a few high-priced Yong goose body rubbings in his hands, and he even had the idea of going to Middle Earth to apprentice.
Unexpectedly, he had not yet gone to Middle-earth, but Zheng Yanqing came to Silla. If it was before, Jin Yuxin said that he would really let Zheng Yanqing leave. But now, he knows very well the result of letting Zheng Yanqing leave. Although the Sui Dynasty army was still fighting fiercely with the Goguryeo people, the outcome was unpredictable...... It is impossible to let Zheng Yanqing leave; But if he kills him, or sends Zheng Yanqing to Pyongyang, Kim Yuxin feels a pity.
However, if it was really Zheng Yanqing who robbed Princess Jindeman, then he must not be spared!
The breeze and the waning moon, the cool breeze in the pavilion.
Jin Yuxin unknowingly, sleepiness came to him, leaned on the railing, and fell asleep in a daze.
Just when he was half-asleep and half-awake, he suddenly gave birth to an alarm. Practicing martial arts since childhood, he has a sharper spiritual sense than ordinary people. When I opened my eyes, I saw a little cold light rushing silently. was so frightened that Jin Yuxin rolled in the gazebo and rolled out of the gazebo from the mat.
Bang!
A red-stemmed white-feathered eagle arrow sank into the pillar of the vermilion lacquer pavilion.
"There are assassins!"
Jin Yuxin shouted loudly, and in an instant, more than a dozen Hualang warriors rushed out from all around.
"There are assassins, immediately put the whole house on alert!"
Jin Yuxin sat on the ground, drenched in cold sweat. It's only a little bit worse, if it weren't for his quick reaction, this little life might not be able to be saved.
A Hanarang samurai stepped forward and helped Jin Yuxin up.
Jin Yuxin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked around nervously.
But seeing that the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the willow trees in the courtyard are swaying in the wind, there is a trace of half an assassin there? If it weren't for the dazzling red stem and white feather arrows on the pavilion pillar, Jin Yuxin even thought that he had just had a nightmare. Several Hanaro warriors climbed up to the roof, but no trace of the assassin was found.
A samurai pulled an arrow from the pavilion pillar.
But seeing a piece of paper wrapped around the shaft of the arrow, he hurriedly held the arrow and handed it to Jin Yuxin.
Princess Wen Silla has unparalleled talent, and admires her very much. Therefore, I took the liberty of inviting and asked the little country immortal not to read it.
After three days, I want to take the princess to swim in Luodongshui, hoping that the small country immortal can make it convenient...... As soon as he arrived in Gimpo, he sent the princess back to the capital.
If the small country immortal agrees, when the sun is tomorrow, please descend to the twelve-sided Daxu in the east city; If the big country does not fall, it should be thought that the small country immortal will not allow it, and the consequences will be borne by yourself...... The inscription is: Captain of Da Sui Yun, Captain of Zuo Xiaowei Water Military Academy, and Zheng Yanqing of Xingyang.
Attached is also a letter from Jindeman, the meaning of which is similar to the letter left by Zheng Yanqing, asking Jin Yuxin to try to save her from danger.
Jin Yuxin's face was pale, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth, unable to speak for a long time. This Zheng Yanqing is too arrogant. Such a naked threat is really unbearable. He subconsciously clenched his fists and muttered: Zheng Yanqing, I swear to take the head of your master.
At this moment, he had no respect at all, only humiliated.
But when he thought that Jindeman fell into the hands of Zheng Yanqing, Jin Yuxin couldn't help but throw a bogey.
He can't do this either, and he needs to be the lord of Silla. But time is pressing, how can we get three days? Jin Yuxin hesitated and wandered in the courtyard. At this time, a person came from outside, hurriedly walked to Jin Yuxin, and intervened to salute.
"True Bone Hualang, the superior guard Qisu, meet the little country immortal."
Shangdae, which is an official position in the Silla Kingdom, is similar to the position of the prime minister, only below the Wennu.
And the real bone Hualang refers to the second bone, which is not the royal Hualang. This man is about seven feet tall, and he is extremely stocky and powerful.
His name is Qijuku, and although he is Hanarang, he is loyal to Mimuro.
At the same time, he also served as the deputy general of Hibiscus Town, on the one hand, to assist Jin Yuxin, and on the other hand, it also meant to monitor Jin Yuxin. Of course, Jin Yuxin also knew the roots of Qisu, and he was quite repulsed in his heart, but on his face, there was still a gentle smile.
"Qisu-kun, have you ever caught an assassin?"
Qisu shook his head and said, "That assassin's whereabouts are secretive, and the last general has never seen his whereabouts at all. ”
Jin Yuxin hesitated, but still made up his mind and handed the letter in his hand to Qisu.
"This is a handwritten letter left by the Assassins, as well as a distress letter from Her Royal Highness the Princess. The thief who kidnapped the princess was Zheng Yanqing as the Goguryeo people said some time ago. He wants us to get out of the way and let them pass. After boarding the ship in Gimpo, let the princess back. I'm considering whether or not to accede to his request. ”
"Little Guoxian, don't agree!"
When Qisu heard this, he said without hesitation: "The Goguryeo people have just sent a messenger to ask us to leave Zheng Yanqing. If we let him pass, wouldn't we treat the Goguryeo people as nothing? The emperor of the Sui Dynasty did not retreat, but the outcome was unknown. If the emperor of the Sui Dynasty was defeated, the Goguryeo people would definitely ask us for their guilt. At that time, Silla will inevitably suffer from the war, and you and I will ...... He will also be a Silla sinner. ”
Jin Yuxin said: "But if the princess is killed, we will not be able to escape the blame." ”
"This ......"
Qisu also had a headache.
On the Kaneshiro side, the battle between the Mimuro clan and the royal family was fierce. If Kindman really had an accident, the lord of the kingdom would be held accountable. Jin Yuxin is a royal family, and he is protected by a slave. His parents are both important ministers in the court, and his brother Jin Longshu controls the soldiers and horses of Jincheng.
Therefore, Jin Bojing may ask Jin Yuxin for the crime, but he will never punish him heavily.
If Jin Yuxin is not heavily fined, then he will definitely be blamed...... Qisu didn't dare to guarantee that the people of the Meimur clan would definitely be able to save his surname.
After all, someone has to pay for the princess's death.
Thinking of this, Qisu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He glanced at Jin Yuxin, and after a moment of silence, he had an idea and thought about it.
"Little Guoxian, the last general has a plan, which can not only leave the Sui army, but also rescue the princess."
Jin Yuxin hurriedly asked, "What do you dare to ask?" ”
"Why don't Xiao Guoxian pretend to agree to this Zheng Yanqing, and say that he will lower the flag at the head of the city.
Since Zheng Yanqing is going to take the waterway, then we can make a fuss on the boat. When the time comes, the Hanalang samurai will be ambushed on the ship, supplemented by elite soldiers. Xiao Guoxian greeted me at the ferry, and I hid in the boat. As soon as Zheng Yanqing and the princess boarded the ship, I waited for the opportunity to save the princess.
Then Xiao Guoxian launched at the ferry, and you and I should work together to annihilate Zheng Yanqing's troops in one fell swoop, that is, to live up to the Goguryeo people, and to save the princess's surname. This kills two birds with one stone, I don't know the little country immortal, do you think so? ”
Jin Yuxin was overjoyed when he heard this.
This Qisu is far from being as rude as he looks.
No wonder it is highly valued by the art room...... It's a pity that he doesn't serve the royal family.
Pretending to groan, Jin Yuxin made up his mind after a while, "Just according to what Zhengu said!" ”
