Chapter 125: Zhusi Country
"Cousin, this place is called Zhusi Country, their king has been captured by our army, and he is in the palace in front of him at this time, do you want to go and have a look!"
Qin Qiong was interested, "Oh, have you caught the king of Zhusi Country?" I heard that the king of Zhusi Country has a large amount of property, and there are countless gold, silver and jewelry, I don't know if it's true, cousin, have you interrogated anything? ”
Hearing Qin Qiong's words, Luo Cheng's face fell, and he said with a bitter face: "Cousin, you don't know, no one in this Zhusi country can understand our words, I asked here for a long time, and they didn't squeak, I talked for a long time, and the only thing that answered me was the bird language, I couldn't understand a word of what the king said, and I didn't know if he could understand what I said, but it doesn't matter, I have already sent someone to control the granary and find his hidden treasure, I believe that there will be results soon, after all, this city is so small, There aren't many places to hide things! ”
Qin Qiong nodded and said with a smile: "That's true, but I just happened to bring an interpreter here, let's go, I'll go with you again to see if I can understand their bird language this time!" ”
Luo Cheng blushed a little when he heard this, he knew that his cousin knew some Baekje dialect and Waguo dialect, which he learned in the process of dealing with those merchants, and asked him to learn it together, saying that he could use it in the future, but he was unwilling to learn, even the more stupid Luo Shixin learned some of it, if Luo Shixin was here at this time, he would not not not understand a word, and what he said about others was bird language.

Izanagar was worried at this time, he got up very early today, and in the morning he had to see off the general of the sea who was ready to go to sea, the five hundred soldiers under the command of the general of the sea were the most elite troops of the Zhusi country, and sent them on the expedition, the king must be present, so that the soldiers could feel the king's attention to them, it is said that this was learned from the heavenly kingdom on the west side of the sea, but Izanagar didn't like it very much, which made him sleep for several hours less, he usually got up at three poles in the morning, as the king of the Zhusi country, He had a lot of things to deal with, but he left them to his right-hand man, the Imperial Minister Noda Ogasa.
The Noda family is a large family in the Takesi country, and they have served the Izana family for generations, and their wealth is rewarded by the Izana family as the king, and the Noda family must contribute to the king's worries.
Noda Ogasa is very experienced in handling things, and things are done very well, even if it is not good, Izanaga can't see it, but as long as no one makes trouble in front of him, he feels that Noda Ogasa's affairs are doing well, and still leaves everything to him to deal with.
But he never imagined that his peaceful life would one day be ruined by a group of foreign invaders, this group of people looked savage and murderous, he saw with his own eyes that the other party was holding a wooden box that he didn't know what it was, and then shot a bow and arrow, and brutally killed the captain of the guard who rushed in from the outside to protect him, he had never seen this kind of wooden box before, so he didn't know what it was, but he knew very well in his heart that this was definitely not a good thing, this was something for killing.
Seeing that the captain of the guard had been killed by a fierce man on the other side, Izanaka was very frightened, and when he saw the other party pointing at him with this wooden box, his legs were already so frightened that he almost knelt down.
And he didn't know that when the other party used something to target him, it was actually reloading on the winding, and there were no crossbow arrows in it.
Seeing more and more people rushing in, Izanaka's heart sank more and more, and soon after, a young general with white skin, silver armor and silver gun walked in, and the feeling in his heart told him that this person should be the big man of the other party, sure enough, after this person came in, he began to mumble some words, but Izanagar has never studied Chinese, so naturally he doesn't know what the other party is talking about, but when everyone meets, they usually ask: Have you eaten? It's a nice day today, or if you ask about the identity of the other party.
And the tone of the other party did look like he was asking him, so Izanaka hurriedly replied, but he spoke in Japanese, and the other party spoke in Chinese, and the two sides did not understand what the other was saying.
The young white-faced young general looked a little angry, he looked around, and asked the people around him loudly, and he didn't know what he was asking, Izanaka was worried, and he didn't know what the other party was going to do with his people, on their side, after the battle, the defeated tribal leaders would be executed, and the others would all be used as slaves, and their current appearance should be regarded as defeated, unless, unless it was the morning general who sent out the army with his five hundred men to rush back in time, Those 500 people are the elite of Zhusi Country, but the other party has a lot of people, and it looks like they can fight, so he has no bottom in his heart about whether he can defeat this group of people after General Xihai's army returns.
However, the other party didn't seem to have the intention of killing him, at least not immediately, but muttered something to the barbarian soldiers who rushed into the palace, and then turned around and left here, in fact, when this person left, Izanaka wanted to open his mouth to leave him behind, he was afraid, afraid that the other party would kill them, so he wanted to exchange his hidden gold, silver and jewelry for his own life, but he couldn't say what the other party said, and the other party couldn't understand what he was saying, So even if he was left behind, it probably wouldn't have any effect, so he didn't speak.
After the young general left, the barbarian soldiers in the palace began to gather them and imprisoned them all in an open courtyard, and at this time, his most trusted minister, Noda Ogasa, quietly leaned over and chatted softly with him while the other soldiers were not noticing.
"Your Majesty, what are the origins of these people, do you know?"
Izanaga glanced at Noda Ogasa, and although he was nervous when he saw the other party's expression, there was no fear between his eyebrows like the other ministers, and looking at him, it seemed that he had a way to deal with the situation in front of him, which made Izanaka ecstatic in his heart, and said in an almost unbearable voice: "Noda-kun, I don't know who they are, do you have any way to deal with them, or can you help us get out of danger?" ”
Noda Ogasa nodded and said, "Your Majesty, although Weichen has some vague ideas in his heart, he doesn't know if it will work, so he doesn't dare to say it rashly!" ”
The joy in Izanaka's heart was slightly lessened, and it could be seen that Noda Ogasa was not very sure, but at this time, it was better to have an idea than not to have an idea, so even if he was not sure, he still had to ask, at least give it a try, and he couldn't just sit still!
"Noda-kun can just say what you have, I won't blame you!"
Seeing that the king had said this, Noda Ogasa no longer concealed it, and glanced around vigilantly, it seems that several of your barbarian soldiers with sharp blades in their hands are patrolling around, vigilantly paying attention to the movements of this crowd, but they did not notice anything unusual on their side, which made him feel a little relieved.
"Your Majesty, do you remember the Qin Kingdom to the north of us?"
Noda Ogasa's question made Izanaga slightly surprised, the Qin Kingdom, this country is not very large, and the population is not large, but it is still very famous in the Wa Kingdom, this is mainly because they are very capable of fighting, they have defeated other tribes and countries many times before and after the attack on them with a population of less than 20,000 people, and their weapons are very sharp on the battlefield, the soldiers march in formation, the generals ride on tall horses, charge ahead, the soldiers follow closely, and they are unstoppable all the way, no matter who their opponent is, No matter how many of their opponents were, they were quickly crushed under such an attack, and they were beaten and disarmed, and suffered heavy casualties.
It is precisely because of the prestige of the Qin Kingdom's warlike reputation that almost everyone in the entire Wa Kingdom knows and knows it, and later, under the mediation of the Wa King, the Qin Kingdom and other countries finally ceased to fight, so the name of the Qin Kingdom has rarely been mentioned in recent years, so suddenly Noda Ogasa mentioned this name, and Izanagar was still a little surprised.
"You mean that Inhuman country with a small population, but a very good fight?"
Because the people of the Qin Kingdom are very different from the Japanese people in other places, they seem to be the same in appearance, but their clothing, etiquette and culture are different, after mediating the disputes between the Qin Kingdom and other countries, the Japanese King is also very interested in the cultural etiquette and military affairs of the Qin Kingdom, and brought a group of people from the Qin Kingdom to the vicinity of Kyoto to teach the Japanese people to learn cultural etiquette and military affairs, so over the years, the status of the Qin Kingdom has improved slightly, and everyone used to call them barbarians, Now they are just called aliens, that is, they are not people from the land of the Japanese country.
"Yes, it's them, does Your Majesty have any senses, these people in front of us are somewhat similar to the people of the Qin Kingdom?"
Noda Ogasa's expression was solemn, when he talked about the Qin Kingdom, he didn't even notice it, his voice was a little trembling, it can be seen how deeply impressed the Qin Kingdom left on them.
"It's really similar when you say that, but these people have too many troops, and the Qin Kingdom doesn't have so many people when it adds up all the population, so these people shouldn't be from the Qin Kingdom?"
Izanaka's insight is still a little worse in the end, this is related to the fact that he always nests in his palace on weekdays, and he handles very few affairs in the Zhusi Kingdom, most of which are handled by Noda Ogasa, so when it comes to people similar to the Qin Kingdom, he knows something, but Izanagar doesn't know anything.
"Your Majesty, of course these people will not be from the Qin Kingdom, and they may not know that there is a country called the Qin Kingdom, but Your Majesty, you don't know, according to our businessman, on the west side of the sea, there is a huge, extremely wide, and extremely rich country, this country is called the Great Sui, it is said that the population of this country is tens of millions, and there are millions of people with armor, and the cultural and martial arts are extremely prosperous, and it is the largest and strongest country in the world!"
Izanagar understood a little at this time, he looked at Noda Ogasa, and his voice trembled a little: "You mean, they came from the west side of the sea, it's the big ...... The army of the Great Sui? ”
Noda Ogasa nodded with a serious expression: "Yes, it should be like this, but I don't know what they are doing when they come all the way to our Zhusi country, it stands to reason that they are the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the land is rich, the people are rich, they shouldn't have much interest in us here, they can't cross the ocean to come to us, do they want trade, do they want treasure?" ”
Noda Ogasa said that he shook his head once, obviously disagreeing with his speculation, judging from the things he came into contact with and the things that the merchants brought back from the Great Sui, the things of this powerful country were much better than the Wa Kingdom in all aspects, and compared to their Zhusi Country, it was several streets away, and every time they did business, the merchants were able to bring back all kinds of exquisite items, porcelain, paper and pencils, calligraphy and paintings, cloth, silk and exquisite bronze utensils from the other side, and what was transported from them was nothing more than some black stones, Then there are these things like food, which are not equivalent to the things exchanged for the other party, and since the other party is so rich, why should they go to this poor, small, and backward place?
"If they want treasures or trade, then things are easy to do, I heard the businessmen say, the Sui people value etiquette, do not like to kill innocents indiscriminately, so they should not be ruthless to us, there are a few accounts in my house who are proficient in Sui language, they have followed the merchants to the sea, so if we can let these people come to us as translators, we can communicate with each other, we can know what they want!"
After Noda Ogasa finished speculating, he came up with the idea of finding a translator and then allowing the two sides to communicate, so that if the other party could get what they wanted, they would not necessarily be killed against them.
Izanaga nodded, there is only one way at this time, but Noda Ogasa's mansion is still a little far from here, how to get those accounts under his hands, this is indeed a big problem!
And he didn't know that with the arrival of Qin Qiong and the others, there was no longer any need for any translation between them.
"Cousin, it's these people, No, this is their king, I don't know if it's not, I've asked, I don't understand what they said, but he looks like he's the best to wear, the most unbeaten, it's estimated that the king is not bad!"
Luo Cheng stretched out his finger and pointed at Izanaga, who was dejected in the crowd, and said to Qin Qiong. (To be continued.) )
