Chapter 241, Follow the Island Water
Jiang Shuo was surprised that when he was about to parting, Da Xinyi did not say goodbye to his parents, but wanted to talk to him. However, Da Xinyi had already pushed the door out of the house, so he had to get up and follow.
When he arrived outside the house, Da Xinyi took Jiang Shuo's hand and walked to a corner of the courtyard. While looking inside the house, he said to Jiang Shuo: "Survey, I want to say more to you to the Khitans. Nieli, Li Huaixiu is the best among the people. Nieli gave up the throne of Khan in order to unite the eight tribes. Huaixiu gave up the throne of Khan to Hula in order not to give Yan army attacks. Even this Hula is also a character. Although Nieli is just a girl, he already has such a mind and scheming..."
Jiang Shuo said: "Master, are you saying that the Khitans are using us? What they encounter are all bitter tricks?"
Da Xinyi said: "That's not that the Khitan has indeed experienced hardships over the years, but after all, An Lushan repeatedly reported the Khitan to rebel but Tang Ting did not doubt it. It is also because there are too many examples of rebellion in the history of the Khitan... Nieli and Huaixiu may not be evil people, but the intelligence of the Khitans is not comparable to other border residents. And you see, the Khitan cavalry and Yiluohe are no longer inferior to each other. If you continue to strengthen your equipment, you will become the strongest combat power in the north. In the long run, the Khitan will definitely prosper. If there is any change in the world, will the Khitan still defend and not attack?"
Jiang Shuo's back had already started sweating. He thought of An Lushan's unjust intention. If An Lushan really rebels, would the Khitan launch an attack from behind? Will the Khitan cavalry retreat after going south? He hurriedly asked, "Master, what do you think we should do now?"
Da Xinyi pondered for a moment and said, "I can't imagine it either. After all, it seems that the Khitan is just dealing with An Lushan for his own survival. I can't say that there is anything wrong. Even if you and I have lived, you may not see the day when the Khitan invasion is strong... We can't kill people just because of doubt."
Jiang Shuo lowered his head and said, "In short, you should be more careful. I think your martial arts are both high-quality and handsome, but you are too kind and lenient, so you will inevitably not be used by others. With your martial arts and Jianghuo status, you have the ability to influence the world's general trend. Remember to be cautious to avoid making big mistakes!"
Jiang Shuo was already sweating profusely on his head and body, and he hurriedly crossed his hands and said, "Thank you for your advice, Shuoer remembers it."
Da Xinyi also crossed his hands to Jiang Shuo and said, "Shuozhi, I'll go here, take care of you..." As he said that, he jumped out of the wall. After a while, he heard a horse neighing. It seemed that Da Xinyi had taken the horse and left the city overnight.
When Jiang Shuo returned to the house, Qin Yueren and Yun Gu saw that he was in a daze and the cold sweat on their foreheads were still dry. They all looked at him in surprise. Qin Yueren said, "Suzhi, has Xiner gone here? What did he say to you? Are you so panicked?"
Jiang Shuo was not good at lying, so he had to say randomly: "The Lord of the Lord told me to be careful of tracing Luohe on the road."
Qin Yue people laughed and said, "Downward, you don't have to worry. The city lord has arranged to board a boat at the port of Bobaicheng, and go straight to Dengzhou by water, without land, and the Yan army has no water army, so it should be safe to take the water."
Jiang Shuo replied absent-mindedly: "That's good, that's good..."
Li Zhu'er stared at Jiang Shuo, as if she had seen through what he was thinking. Jiang Shuo couldn't help but feel guilty and lowered his head to look at her. Li Zhu'er didn't say anything, but just said softly: "I have to leave too..."
Jiang Shuo suddenly raised his head and said, "Sister Zhu'er, where are you going?"
Li Zhu'er smiled slightly and said, "Of course I'm going back to An Lushan. The Yan army has begun to retreat south. After An Lushan returns to Fanyang, he will go to Chang'an. I, a slave, have to serve you."
Jiang Shuo said: "Since the Yan army has withdrawn from Songmo, sister, you have already accomplished your work, why bother to go back and take risks?"
Li Zhu'er rolled her eyes and said, "An Lushan killed my parents. How many Khitans have been slaughtered over the years? How can the An thief be killed if they don't kill them? "
Jiang Shuo said: "Sister Zhu'er, are you going back to assassinate An Lushan? OK! I'll go with you, fight to the death to take his life and avenge you!"
Yun Gu also said, "Miss Li, since you are An Lushan's close maid, you can always find an opportunity to assassinate him, right? Could it be that An Lushan is really as he said that the Turkic God of War descended to earth and cannot be killed?"
Li Zhuer said: "Although An Lushan is obese, it is difficult for others to kill him, but it is easy for me to take his life."
Yun Guqi said, "Then why don't you take action?"
Li Zhu'er said: "Wouldn't it be a good idea to kill him like this? I will wait until his family betrayal and deprive him of the nine tribes to eliminate the hatred in his heart, so that the souls of the Khitans can rest in peace."
Jiang Shuo said: "But... I don't care about it like this. If An Lushan really wants to rebel, wouldn't he have to kill more? Sister Zhu'er, do you have the heart to see the world's suffering in order to avenge?"
Li Zhu'er said coldly: "I can't control this. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty's soldiers are strong. If An thief rebels, he will just use an egg to strike a stone and seek death. The disaster will be over. What's the point?"
Qin Yueren and Yun Gu nodded together after hearing this. It was the prosperous era of Kaiyuan. Whether the Tang people were in charge of the people in the state, they had absolute confidence in the combat power of the Tang army. Qin Yueren said: "Yes, the ten towns of the army, according to military strength, Fan Yang only had two of them, let alone 600,000 government soldiers."
Yun Gu also said: "An Lushan, a scattered man, still wants to take over the world? Bah... he is worthy!"
Jiang Shuo thought of the Zhechong Mansion soldiers led by Captain Chen when He Zhizhang left Anlu when he followed Li Bai and left Anlu. He felt a little uneasy. However, when he saw Qin Yue people, Yun Gu's confident expression finally resisted and said nothing more.
Li Zhu'er stared at Jiang Shuo and said, "Suzhi, you have to promise me not to assassinate An Lushan."
Jiang Shuo said: "I..."
Li Zhu'er interrupted him and said, "One is the guardian of the thief, and even with the current skill, it may not be able to succeed; the other is the thief, and I must kill it myself. Even if you succeed by chance, I will hate you for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Shuo felt his mouth dry and didn't know what to say for a moment. Without waiting for him to reply, Li Zhu'er stood up and bowed to Qin Yueren and Yun Gu and said, "Take care, Zhu'er is here."
The Qin Yue nodded and said, "If you see Bei Mingzi, I will greet me." Li Zhuer looked outside the courtyard meaningfully and smiled, "Okay!" Before he finished speaking, he jumped out of the house.
Jiang Shuo suddenly remembered something and chased him out and said, "Sister Zhu'er, there is another thing I forgot to ask you..."
Li Zhu'er had already stepped on the wall and turned around and said, "Princess Jingle, I have been buried deep in Yiwulu Mountain. According to the custom of the Khitan Shan barbarians, she has made a soul retention spell. She has been with my Khitan ancestors. After Huaixiu's hundred years, she will be with her again."
Jiang Shuo was asking about this. After a moment of silence, Li Zhu'er had already jumped off the wall and didn't know where to go.
When Jiang Shuo turned back, Yun Gu said at the door: "Boy named Jiang, you should go back too. It's late at night. We two elders haven't seen each other forty-two years. We still have a lot of things to say. Let's talk about if there is anything tomorrow."
At this time, Jiang Shuo understood what it meant even though he was dull. He hurriedly said goodbye and left. He had a good memory and remembered the path he came. After a while, he returned to his residence and gently pushed the door into the house. Seeing that Dugu Wen and Xianger were still asleep and still not awake, Dugu Xiang's eyelashes were slightly buzzing, and he didn't know what dream he was having.
Jiang Shuo returned to his couch but couldn't sleep anymore. Thinking of what Li Zhuer said today, Da Xinyi and herself, his mood was surging and unable to calm down. So he sat down and exercised his skills and adjusted his breathing for a long time and fell asleep.
The next day, when the city lord sent someone to send a message, saying that the Qin Yue people asked you to gather at the dock, and asked me to have a good rest for a night and felt better. Jiang Shuo and Xiang'er took him around and followed Wei Jingzhao and Li Tengkong to the dock together.
I saw a slew-shaped sandbank appearing in the river here, dividing the water from the duck into two inner and outer streams. The waterway on the east side of the sandbank is wide and turbulent, and the sound of water is surging. However, the waterway on the west side is rarely calm, forming a natural good harbor. The place name "Boqikou" refers to this port. "Boqi" means the sound of water stimulation. "Boqi" is the port in the torrent of the river, and many ships dock here.
The land of Liaodong is lush with forests. The people of Bohai use local materials. The city walls and houses are built with logs. The same is true for this wharf. A wide embankment was paved by the water with thick fir boards. Looking at the embankment, the Qin Yue people and the doctors had arrived. When everyone saw that there was an old woman next to Qin Yue people, they were secretly surprised, but they did not dare to ask.
Qin Yueren said: "All the great wise men, I followed the old man to Yiwulu Mountain and discuss the Tao with Silla, but I didn't want to have any troubles. I had already penetrated 800 miles deep into Liaodong without realizing it. Now the lord of Bobai has arranged a sea boat for us, so that we can return to the Tang Dynasty, saving the fatigue of carriages and horses."
Someone was worried and said, "Qin Daxian, we heard that the sea is impermanent and sailing by sea is quite dangerous. Is it safe to go back to the Tang Dynasty by sea?"
The city lord said, "Don't worry about this. You can get on a boat here, get out of the Yalu River mouth, walk west by the sea, pass through the Kuowan, go south to Shirenwang, pass Xinghuapu, Taohuapu, and go directly to Qingnipu, crossing the three hundred miles south of Wuhuhai. During this period, there are islands named Wuhu Island, Modao, Guixin Island, Daxi Island, etc., and until Dengzhou, you can follow the island water throughout the journey. This so-called "Beidao Road" is very safe."
After hearing this, the doctors were relieved. The city lord said again: "Since you are Tang people, I have looked for Han ships to take you back." As he said that, a short man walked behind him. His broad mouth and cracked cheeks were very thick and thick, with a calf's nose underneath, and his upper body was naked and only wearing a sleeveless jacket. He could tell at first glance that he was an old sailor.
The man stepped forward and crossed his hands and said, "In Xu Wu, we have just put the goods for transporting a thousand stones here. If you don't dislike it, it's more than enough to send you back to the Central Plains."
Jiang Shuo saw that the man crossed his hands and bowed his hands with a strange look. Ordinary man crossed his hands with his left hand tightly holding the thumb of his right hand, his little finger was facing the right wrist, and his four fingers were straight, and his left hand was pointed upward. However, this man held the thumb of his left hand with his right hand and stood up his right hand. From a distance, he looked quite similar to Changli, but from close up, he looked very different.
Jiang Shuo stepped forward and gave the same greeting to the man, saying aloud: "The four dragons draw water and return to the sea after all, which temple did you worship with your son?"
