Chapter 150: Silla Gimhuang
These big ships are all waving flags, and there are dozens of people on each of them. These people are in an orderly queue, with bright clothes and armor, not like people in the rivers and lakes, but like soldiers and horses of the imperial court.
Dai Houcai exclaimed, "Oh no! We're being surrounded!"
Jin Huang sighed, "Alas, they must have been afraid that I would not die if I fell into the sea, so they chased me to the sea. Jin Huang will never forget the grace of saving your life, but there are many enemies, and he does not dare to burden Engong. If you hand me over, you may be spared......
Wei Qimu interrupted, "You guys are here for a long time, I'll go out and have a look. 」
Wei Qimu came to the bow of the boat, but saw that four large boats were being stopped on all sides. Facing the boat, the first man was about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, which should have been handsome, but a mess of beards and rough appearance, dressed in gold armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and although he was not tall, he had a momentum of his own.
When the golden armor general saw Wei Qimu coming out, he pointed at him and said bitterly for a while. Then, the man wearing the Silla official uniform next to the Jinjia general scolded in Tang dialect, "Wait for the ship to stop. Our Commander is going to go on board and search for people!" This man is about thirty years old, and he is an interpreter.
Wei Qimu's boat stopped in response. Wei Qimu said indifferently, "I don't know who you want to search?"
The interpreter said, "A young man dressed in white, in his twenties, born white and handsome, with an extraordinary temperament. But he was seriously injured and fell into the sea. Have you ever seen such a man from the sea?"
Wei Qimu asked, "Is that person called Jin Huang?"
When the interpreter heard the word "Jin Huang", his eyes were full of light, surprise and joy, and he hurriedly whispered to the golden armor general. Then, he asked Wei Qimu, "Have you seen him?!"
Wei Qimu said truthfully, "He's on my boat. 」
The interpreter hesitated for a moment, and then said, "How about you hand him over and reward you with a hundred taels of gold?"
Wei Qimu snorted, "A hundred taels of gold?"
The interpreter said, "What, you're too little?"
Wei Qimu shook his head: "I don't love money the most in my life. 」
The interpreter was puzzled and said, "Then what do you want, let's hear it first." 」
Wei Qimu's eyebrows were cold, and he said coldly, "I want your head. 」
These words came out of Wei Qimu's mouth, without a trace of waves, only with a faint coldness. The interpreter had a momentary feeling as if he had been stabbed on his neck with an ice blade.
The interpreter was frightened, but the Jinjia general on the side was anxious. While reprimanding the interpreter in Silla for being verbose, he waved his right arm and ordered the men and horses to go directly to the ship to arrest people.
The five ships were close to each other, and they immediately set up a plate and a cable, and soldiers from all sides rushed up. However, as soon as the soldiers were about to step onto the side of the ship, they caught a glimpse of a white light sweeping from all sides. The soldiers met the white light, and one by one they all fell into the water, and then blood burst out, dyeing the sea water bright red.
The golden-armored general had not yet seen where the white light came from, and when he saw that the soldiers under his command were dead, he was very angry in his heart, and continued to beckon the soldiers to board the ship, vowing to kill everyone on the ship, so as to humiliate him. It's just that every time, like the previous time, those soldiers were cut into the water by a white light before they could cross the side of the ship. In these waves, hundreds of corpses have floated in the sea, and no one has been able to get on the boat.
The golden-armored general's face finally changed, and he finally saw the white light clearly. The white light came from the inconspicuous young man in Tsing Yi in front of him - the knife in his hand. He didn't see Wei Qimu out of the knife clearly, but at this time, Wei Qimu was holding a knife in his hand, a blood knife. The undried blood on the blade was ticking, pounding on the planks of the ship, like the knock of death.
The golden-armored general looked at Wei Qimu, whose face was like frost, and fear rose in his heart one after another, and he forgot to advance and retreat for a while. His soldiers were even more frightened, and they dispersed before they could give an order.
When the interpreter saw this, he summoned up his courage and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you who dare to oppose my Silla?"
Wei Qimu said, "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I saved Jin Huang, and his life is mine, and it has nothing to do with you Silla. 」
When the interpreter heard these words, he immediately became angry: "You...... You!"
The golden-armored general's face was repeated several times, and he "cooed" for a while. The interpreter said, "Hmph, what a big breath! Kim Hwang is my Silla's prisoner, and even to the ends of the earth, he will not escape the hunt and kill. You will succeed for a while, but you will not be able to save him for the rest of his life!"
Wei Qimu said indifferently: "As long as the lord of Silla is willing to serve as a general, he will come to Japan to arrest people. 」
At this time, Jin Huang staggered out of the cabin, almost falling down in one step, but fortunately Dai Hou was holding him. Kim Hwang first caught a glimpse of the corpses of hundreds of Silla soldiers who fell into the sea, and was secretly surprised by the high martial arts of Wei Qimu, and then caught a glimpse of the golden armor general with a red and white face, bowed to him slightly, and said in Silla dialect: "General Park, I have always known that you are loyal and benevolent, and you are most sympathetic to your subordinates, and it is Kim Hwang's sin and my Silla's misfortune to kill and wound so many warriors for me alone!
This general was none other than Park Kyung-chung, the commander of the Silla royal family's royal forest army. When Park Jingzhong saw Jin Huang, his face hesitated for a moment or two, and then he slowly replied: "I act on the orders of the lord of the country, and I dare not be slack in the slightest, nor dare I dare to have a little difference. 」
Jin Huang wanted to speak and stopped, so he had to sigh secretly. He knew that Park Jingzhong would definitely not disobey the lord of the country, so he simply closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Wei Qimu's patience was exhausted, and he opened his mouth again, shouting, "Get out of the way. Then he ordered the boatmen to sail.
Park Jingzhong stared at Jin Huang for a while, and then caught a glimpse of Wei Qimu's cold eyebrows, and finally separated the boats and let a way out.
The big ship set sail and continued south. After more than ten days, Jin Huang's injuries gradually healed, and he thanked Wei Qimu and the three again.
Xiao Luo Xia was young after all, and couldn't help asking, "Why are they chasing you?"
Kim Hwang talked about the grievances with the Silla royal family, but he was hesitant and stopped talking. Wei Qimu was impatient and interrupted, "No need to say more. Your grievances and hatreds in Silla, right and wrong, Wei doesn't care. 」
Jin Huang said ashamedly: "I didn't mean to hide Engong, but there is something unspeakable......
Wei Qimu said again: "I saved you just in a thought, whether you are good or evil, good or evil, whether you live or die in the future, whether it is a disaster or a blessing, Wei doesn't care at all. 」
Jin Huang saw that Wei Qimu was so indifferent, and stopped talking after only saying the word "Engong", and his voice swirled in his throat, unable to speak.
Xiao Luoxia couldn't see it, and snorted, "Why doesn't he look like a bad guy? 」
Wei Qimu saw that his apprentice was talking to outsiders, and he was displeased, but he didn't have a good seizure, so he had to snort coldly and didn't bother to pay attention to it.
On this day, the big ship suddenly broke down. A boatman came in and said, "Childe, the ship has arrived on Japanese soil!"
When Wei Qimu heard this, he got up and came to the bow of the boat again. I saw that not far away seemed to leak a flood from the sky, its flow was as turbulent as an arrow, its waves rolled like a dragon, combined with the strong wind, the waves were turbulent, and it became more and more magnificent. There is a port at the mouth of the river, which is a little wider than the port of Dengju in the Tang Dynasty and the Tangenpu in Silla. There are many buildings outside the port, a prosperous scene, and it is very different from the ordinary port.
Wei Qimu couldn't help asking, "Where is this Japan?"
Dai Houcai replied, "This is Namba Tsu in Japan, and that river is called the Namba Hori River. 」
Wei Qimu nodded, and then asked, "Do you know that there are onmyoji in Japan?" He crossed the sea to Japan this time, just to find the lost mastery of the Yin and Yang family, "Great Kyushu", and the traces of "Great Kyushu" are only faintly on the onmyoji or there are traces to be found, so when he arrives in Japan, he naturally has to ask about the Onmyoji first.
Dai Houcai thought for a while and said, "This...... The villain doesn't know. 」
At this time, Jin Huang coughed lightly and continued, "Engong, I have heard of this below. 」
Wei Qimu turned to Jin Huang and motioned for him to continue. Kim continued, "It is said that this Japanese onmyoji is very sacred and honorable, either by the emperor in the temple or by the people in the mountains. Not only are their martial arts unfathomable, but they can also cast spells, make illusions, observe the stars, and know calamities......
Wei Qimu glanced at Jin Huang meaningfully and asked, "Where can I meet an Onmyoji?"
Jin Huang paused and said, "There must be an onmyoji in Kyoto, Japan, but I don't know if I can be lucky enough to see it. 」
Wei Qimu asked Dai Houcai again: "Do you want to go to Kyoto, Japan by water or by land?"
Dai Houcai said: "I landed from Nambatsu, changed horses and ran for a day and a half, and then I arrived at Heiankyo. 」
Wei Qimu got off the boat, said goodbye to Dai Houcai, and led Xiao Luoxia through the port alone. Jin Huang followed two steps, his face turned red, and he said: "I also happened to go to Heianjing in Xia, it is better to go on the same road with Engong, and there is a good response along the way......
Wei Qimu was noncommittal and continued to move forward. Xiao Luo Xia behind him had quietly waved his hand and motioned for Jin Huang to follow. Jin Huang was overjoyed and bought a horse to travel.
Wei Qimu swept through the crowd, except for some Tang costumes, most of them were dressed as Japanese people. The Japanese were relatively short in stature compared to the Tang people, but one group of them was much taller, not much different from ordinary Tang people. It's just that they are dressed a little strangely, one by one with their hair tied in a bun on the top of their heads, wearing wide shirts and gowns, and horses and hakama on the bottom, and carrying a long and a short knife on their left waist, and they are patrolling back and forth in the port at this time.
Jin Huang saw Wei Qimu look at the group of people a few times, and said, "These people are Japanese waiters, so it's not easy to provoke. 」
The attendants were samurai raised by the Japanese nobility, not only loyal and brave, but also in groups of thousands and in an orderly manner, so they were extremely difficult to provoke.
Wei Qimu and the other three people went straight out of Nambatsu and were stopped by a group of people. The group was dressed as Japanese waiters, and there were about a dozen of them.
The man who was the leader was tall and violent, but a thick beard on his lips was like a sarcoma, which was annoying. The man stretched out his arms to stop Wei Qimu and the three of them, and shouted for a while, which was obviously not a good word.
Xiao Luoxia has been learning Japanese language with Dai Houcai for more than a month, and now she can understand and speak clearly, she translated, "Master, he asked us to buy road money. 」
Wei Qimu frowned slightly, and immediately stretched out, and said to Xiao Luoxia, "You tell him that we are from the Tang Dynasty and are going to Heianjing. 」
Xiao Luoxia truthfully translated it into the Japanese language and said it to the waiter who was the leader. Unexpectedly, when the waiter heard this, he became even more annoyed, and scolded loudly: "What others admire the Tang Dynasty and what Central Plains they yearn for, but Lao Tzu just doesn't look down on it. Those groveling officials and corrupt generals in the court, as well as those slave and charming sluts and prostitutes, all treat you Tang people as ancestors and raise them as masters, not only rewarding official positions, but also losing wealth and women, which is really a loss of great power. You Tang people get it for nothing, take it without telling us, and take our money and women for nothing, Lao Tzu has long been unaccustomed to it. This is our Japanese road, and you Chinese can't tread it, and it's a delusion to want to go to Kyoto!"
The waiter scolded bitterly, but he still did not understand his hatred, and he drew his sword to kill. The waiter's right hand touched the hilt of the sword, but he could not pull out the sword. The inability to pull out the waist knife is not because his scabbard is rusty, but because his hands are unable to use strength.
It turned out that Wei Qimu had already unfolded his body, came to the waiter in an instant, bent his fingers into a hook, and unloaded his right shoulder in one fell swoop. The waiter felt that his eyes were dark, and before he could see a green shadow, his shoulder ached, and his right shoulder had been removed. The waiter gasped in pain, and a cloud of sweat broke out on his forehead, but he refused to scream.
The people behind him gradually reacted, drew their knives one after another, and shouted to chop Wei Qimu. The waiter hurriedly shouted, "Stand down, you are no match for him!" He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has been experienced in a hundred battles, and he thinks that although he has not practiced martial arts to the top, he is also among the masters. In less than one move, you have lost without even seeing how your opponent has made a move, which is simply incredible!
The waiter was no longer arrogant, turned to Xiao Luoxia again, and asked, "You ...... Who is it?"
Wei Qimu said truthfully, "Wei Qimu. 」
Naturally, the waiter had never heard of Wei Qimu's name, and said with emotion: "It's me who is arrogant and doesn't know that there are people outside the world; Losing at your hands today not only has you lost face, but also humiliated your lord, and you can only apologize with death!"
After speaking, he had already pulled out a short knife in his left hand, and he was about to stab himself in the abdomen. Xiao Luoxia was originally listening carefully and was about to translate the words, when he suddenly heard the words "apologize with death", he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and exclaimed, "Ah, he wants to commit suicide!"
Before Xiao Luoxia's words fell, Wei Qimu's figure had already moved again. Wei Qimu knocked off the short knife in the waiter's hand, and put his removed right shoulder back on.
The waiter looked at Wei Qimu in amazement, not knowing why Wei Qimu wanted to stop him from committing suicide. Wei Qimu continued to let Xiao Luoxia pass the word and asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Onmyoji?"
When the waiter heard the words "Onmyoji", his pupils tightened, and he subconsciously shook the hilt of the knife on his waist, and said in a deep voice, "What are you looking for Onmyoji to do?"
Wei Qimu said, "Find something. 」
The waiter tentatively asked, "Are you friends with Onmyoji?"
"No, it's not. 」
"Enemy?"
"Not really. 」
......
The waiter's mind turned, and he replied, "Your Excellency, my name is Tokugawa Yoshitsu. I don't know the whereabouts of the Onmyoji, but my lord does. 」
Wei Qimu said lightly: "Then please take me to see your lord." 」
Tokugawa Yoshichen said: "We who practice martial arts respect the strong the most, Your Excellency's martial arts are rare in the world, and Liangchen admires it to the fullest, so he should be recommended to you. My master loves heroes, and if you are willing to cast yourself under his disciples, you will be put to good use!"
