Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 372

On the bank of the sea, the setting sun slanted.

On the vast coast, there is a vast sea in the west, jungles in the southeast and north, and several mountain peaks are exposed far and near.

A group of frightened birds suddenly came out of the forest, singing continuously, breaking the tranquility of the scenery.

Dozens of people carried a small sedan chair and ran out of the dense forest in a panic. They looked up and saw the sea in front of them. They looked around in a hurry and saw that there was nowhere to go.

Immediately there were more than a hundred people, each armed with knives and guns, and chased out from the forest. Seeing that the group had nowhere to escape, they all smiled ferociously, slowed down their pace, and approached step by step.

Among the people carrying the sedan chair, a middle-aged man let out a low shout, and more than a dozen men behind him drew their swords together, shouted wildly, and killed the pursuers.

There was a leader among the pursuers, with a long knife a foot long on his shoulder, laughing loudly, striding forward to meet him, he swung the knife vigorously, and cut down three or four people with just one knife. Because of this, the pursuers moved forward one after another, hacking with spears and knives, and immediately killed all the dozen or so people.

The middle-aged man's expression became more and more ugly, and he led the sedan chair bearers back step by step. After a while, he stepped into the water, took a few steps back, the water reached his waist, and in the small sedan chair, there was also a low voice from a woman. crying.

Seeing this, the pursuers laughed wildly, grinning one by one, pretending to be evil on purpose, and approaching slowly.

When they got to the water's edge, the leader carrying the big knife showed surprise, pointed his finger in the sea and yelled, everyone looked together, and saw a giant whale in the distance, drumming waves, swimming towards the coast like a sharp arrow.

Those chasing soldiers were amazed at first, and looked happily, but who knew that the whale was getting closer and closer, and its speed didn't slow down at all. These people couldn't help being shocked, those in the sea rushed to the shore, and the ones on the shore turned their heads and ran away, but it was a pity that it was too late Night.

But seeing a sudden surge of the tide, the giant whale had passed not far from the group carrying the sedan chairs, rushed up to the shore, and slid seven or eight feet in front of it. Wherever it passed, the ground was covered with blood and flesh, and most of the pursuers were killed by it. Grind to pieces.

The rest of the pursuers were heartbroken, howling at the price of their lives, why bother to chase them down?They all turned their heads and fled into the dense forest.

The few people carrying the sedan chair were also washed ashore by the waves, and collapsed on the ground, their limbs were so numb.

The whale was so close at hand, it looked more and more like a mountain, shaking its head and tail for a long while, and then gradually became silent.

At this time, the straw curtain of the small sedan chair was lifted, and a girl in a costume came out, looked up at the giant whale in a daze, suddenly pointed at a place, said something, then looked at the middle-aged man, and said it again in Chinese : "Father, it seems that this person killed the whale."

Pronouncing and articulating words, but it was a bit blunt and weird.

A few people followed the girl's fingers and saw that there was a weapon deeply pierced in the eye socket of the giant whale, and a man was hanging on the exposed handle.

The middle-aged man stared blankly for a while, then suddenly burst into joy, stood up, and said loudly: "This man can kill even such a giant whale, he must be a great person, if he protects him, Zao girl, you will be able to reach Kyoto successfully."

His accent was similar to that of the girl's.

After finishing speaking, he began to kick and beat the people who were still paralyzed on the ground, chattering like birds chirping, drove them up one by one, and then supported each other.Climbing along the back of the whale to the head, it took a lot of effort to save the man, and he even pulled out the weapon he had inserted in the whale, which turned out to be an excellent boring fork of steel fire. .

The rescued person lay flat on the beach, the middle-aged man reached out his hand to explore his nostrils, and then touched his heart, the joy was even stronger, and he shouted: "I'm not dead, I'm still alive, I'm still alive, haha, stay here!" I woke him up and begged him to escort us to Kyoto!"

As he spoke, he knelt aside, massaged the man's chest, took out a black bullet from his bosom, put it under his nose and wiped it repeatedly, after a short while, the rescued person woke up, sniffled and cursed: " So sour and smelly."

Immediately sitting up, looking around, he had an idea in his mind, and said in a deep voice, "It was you who saved me?"

As he spoke, he stood up slowly, the middle-aged man and a few servants were shocked when they saw it, and secretly shouted: "What a big man!"
Apart from Cao Cao, this big man who held his hands would naturally not be anyone else!

Before entering the sea from the Tuomen River, according to Guanzhong's plan, I planned to walk slowly along the land, bypassing Korea, and then return to Dengzhou. Who would have thought that the world would be unpredictable——

First, the Madonna of Wuling chased them down with their tails, causing them to enter the deep sea. Then they competed with the mad whale several times, completely lost their direction, and the whale hit the tail rudder again. Seeing that the ship was about to be smashed and people died, Lao Cao was furious , with a violent fork, ruined the whale's eyes, the whale went away in pain, but lost its mind, and ran all the way through the waves, the waves beat each other like a big mouth, even a tough man like Lao Cao, he gradually fainted .

But Lao Cao's two generations of soldiers and horses, why hasn't the storm lasted for a long time?The idea of ​​survival has already been engraved into the bone marrow.Even though he was unconscious, he still hugged the fork pole tightly with his hands and feet, and finally survived the desperate situation.

The middle-aged man saw that Cao Cao was speaking in correct Chinese, and he couldn't help but said happily, "Strong man, I was the one who saved you! Ichiro Shimosakabe didn't know that the strong man was from Tang Dynasty? This whale was killed by the strong man." Is it?"

Cao Cao looked this man up and down, and saw that he had a strong body, with a long knife on his waist, half a head shorter than himself, and the few servants around him were not as tall as this man.

Seeing that the clothes worn by these people are very different from those of Song, Liao, and Jin countries, and looking around, the sea is in the west. His heart moved, and he thought to himself: "Guan Zhong once said, between China, Korea, and Fusang, there are The sea is shaped like a whale, and there are many whale salamanders, so it is called the Whale Sea. The west of the Whale Sea is China, Korea, Tatar, and Rakshasa, and the east is Fusang. Now the sea is in the west. Could it be that I have arrived in the Fusang country?"

Suddenly he secretly took a deep breath: I remember that "Liang Shu Biography of Zhuyi Fusang Kingdom" records that Fusang is more than miles east of the Han Kingdom, and the land is in the east of China. There are many hibiscus trees in the soil, so it is named.

I also remembered the poems I once read: "Snow flies in Yanguan, clouds fall in the sea of ​​whales", and "The land connects the sea of ​​whales, the road connects with Fengcheng on credit", etc., all of which live in the far distance, but unexpectedly I made a mistake. here.

I couldn't help but sighed for a long time, arched my hands to Ichiro Sakabe, and said: "To tell you the truth, I am a native of Shandong in the Song Dynasty, surnamed Wu and surnamed Zhi. After completing his envoy to the Kingdom of Jin, he came back by sea. When I met a giant whale, it ruined my boat, so I took the risk of stabbing it, and I was lucky enough to succeed, but I was brought to the noble land by it, and I was separated from my brothers... Sigh, I don’t know what happened to my brothers on the boat.”

Thinking of the damage to the rudder, even if Li Jun and Zhang Shun were steering the boat, but the vast sea, the wind and the waves are dangerous, they don’t know whether they will be able to return to their hometown. Rao's heart is as strong as iron, and he can't help but shed a few heroic tears.

Suddenly I heard the girl say: "Your Excellency, brother, nothing will happen. How dangerous it is for your Excellency to assassinate a whale, but you are able to overcome the danger. It can be seen that you must be a person favored by heaven. Your brother, who has your blessings, must It'll be fine."

She had kept her head down before, and Cao Cao only felt that she was extraordinary, but he didn't pay attention to it. Now when he heard her speak and turned around to look at her, he couldn't help but froze, he was stunned on the spot.

Want to know how many famous flowers Lao Cao has read in his past and present lives?He thought that a girl from a small country would be difficult to catch his eyes even if she had some beauty, but as far as he could see, that beautiful and delicate face was indescribably touching!

Cao Cao only felt his heart tremble, and secretly shouted: "That's all, that's all!"I have heard for a long time that King Zhou of Yin lost his country because of Daji, and King You of Zhou lost his life because of his concubine. I always laughed in my heart that they must be short-sighted and have never seen beauties—who would have expected such stunning beauty in the world!If Daji and Baosi also had such looks, it would not be an exaggeration for the two of them to lose their country and die.
The young girl seemed to be accustomed to other people's looks, she frowned slightly, shook her head and said: "Hey, I thought that someone from the upper kingdom must be refined and courteous, but who would have thought that he would look at people so straightforwardly."

Cao Cao's old face blushed, and quickly captured his mind. Relying on his thick skin, he said with a faint smile: "What about going to the country and going down to the country? You must know that gentleness is acquired, and temperament is inborn. The heart of beauty is purely By nature, with a young lady's face, even the ancient sages might lose their composure, let alone the next layman."

As he said that, he turned his head away and stopped looking at the other party.

The young girl was surprised to see his frank speech, looked at Cao Cao again, she already avoided her eyes, and couldn't help but think to herself: After all, the people in Shangguo are different, I have never seen him in my life because of this self-control alone.

But Ichiro Sakabe was surprised, and quickly said: "It turned out to be the envoy of the upper country, I didn't know it before, so please don't blame me for being rude." After saying that, he saluted.

Cao Cao said to Sakabe Ichiro: "It's okay, what kind of envoy is a lord, and now he is just a drifter who has been helped by you. Brother, I have heard that during the Tang Dynasty, the Lord of Fusang sent envoys to Chang'an for study tours. Most of the officials and dignitaries in the country can speak Chinese and know Chinese characters. I see that my brother and this girl can speak Chinese very well. She must be an extraordinary person. Naturally, she is well-informed. Now I want to return to my hometown. Anything to teach me?"

Nasakabe Ichiro said with a smile: "It has been more than a hundred years since we sent the envoys to the Tang Dynasty. However, there are indeed businessmen in our country who go across the ocean and go to China. suffered."

When Cao Cao heard the words, he fell silent, glanced at the corpses far and near, and said slowly: "Are you going to the capital together... Could it be that your brother has caused some trouble and needs your help?"

Ichiro Sakabe didn't expect him to be so quick thinking, he was stunned for a moment, and said frankly: "That's right! To tell you the truth, Mr. Fujiwara Nagami, I am a samurai under the command of Mr. Fujiwara Nagami from the Fujiwara family. Some people want to stop me when I send the algae girl to the capital. , so we chased and killed all the way, and we also came here by accident when we were escaping. I saw a strong man trying to kill a giant whale. He is tall and must be brave. If he can protect us to reach the capital, my lord will be grateful. Will send strong men back to China."

Cao Cao nodded and lowered his head in thought. Seeing that he was silent, Ichiro Sakabe said hastily, "Master Fujiwara Nagami is the Naganogen of the court, that is, the servant of the Huangmen of the Tang Dynasty. He has friends with many great merchants. It is easy for him to go back to his hometown."

Cao Cao nodded his head and thought to himself: I am in a foreign country, I am not familiar with the place, I don’t know water, and I don’t have much trouble, so I am lucky to meet someone who can speak Chinese. Walk with him for a while, and it won't be too late to make a fuss.

He said in his mouth: "I would like to ask, since your master is so extravagant, who dares to make things difficult for him?"

Sakabe Ichiro showed an angry look, and said bitterly: "They are just villains with deep selfish desires! I don't want to see algae girls enter the palace."

"Algae girl?" Cao Cao glanced at the girl.

The girl bowed her head and saluted: "Zao Nu is the nickname of my slave family, and my adoptive father gave me a big name, Yuzaoqian."

"Yuzaoqian?" Cao Cao said it in a low voice, and couldn't help but nodded: "It's a good name."

Before the words fell, someone shouted: "Brother, why are you here, where are the other brothers?"

There are different teachings: the overlord's palace is sleepy, and there is a romance on Fusang Island.This time I am intoxicated in Huacongli, and I have been ecstasy in front of Yuzao several times.

　Too much work today, no time to make up. . .Will make up for it tomorrow.
