Jiapingguan Chronicle

One sentence silenced the entire tent. Everyone couldn't believe what they heard, especially Shen Zhonghe, who had been in the navy for many years. He almost pulled out his ears and bled.

"They..." Shen Zhonghe looked at Liang Jieque in disbelief, "What do they want to do? What do they want? A specially approved pass?"

"Yes, they want us to get them a special pass." Liang Jieque nodded, "After hearing this, our reaction was the same as yours. We felt that their brains must have been hit by something, to be like this. It's so whimsical. We said it was impossible to do it, but they said we are not officials of the imperial court, so how could we not do it? It must be a shirk."

"The sword of the previous dynasty killed the officials of this dynasty." Shen Jiu rolled his eyes, "When I was studying before, my husband told such an example. I thought it was a fake, but I didn't expect that such a person actually existed! Tian! Why are Mo and Dexiao also officials of the previous dynasty's Ministry of Revenue? It's been so many years since Daxia established the dynasty, and they still want to use you to show off the power of the previous dynasty? Aren't they afraid that you will be arrested as rebels?"

"I heard the same idea as you. My adoptive father also negotiated with them in this way. They didn't believe what we said at all. How could it be possible to change dynasties so easily? Ubi City has been inherited from generation to generation. How could such a big dynasty be possible? It collapsed easily!"

"Don't they know the fall of the previous dynasty and the rise of Great Xia?" Seeing Liang Jieque shaking his head slightly, Xue Ruitian sneered, "How is that possible? They should know better than anyone else, right?"

"I also think it is, they just want to oppress us and do this for them, but we are bitten to death and there is no way to do it. It is impossible to do it. They have no choice but to tell their master what we said. "

"You didn't mention cutting off your robes with them?"

"I mentioned it." Liang Jieque nodded, "How could we not mention it? Isn't this our purpose? When they said they wanted to explain the situation to the owner, we put forward this idea and told them that we were here this time. The purpose is not to cooperate with them anymore. There are two boxes of gold here, totaling 5,000 taels. The life-saving money that Hu Shang gave us back then was more than 3,000 taels of gold. We paid back the full amount and also gave an extra If you take part of their gold, you will give it as interest."

"You said it before." Shen Zhonghe nodded, "But they didn't admit they had the money and didn't accept it, right?"

"Yes, they don't admit that they have this money. They don't know the situation and can't make decisions without authorization." Liang Jieque smiled bitterly and said, "Their excuses are all the same. We are here to spread the word. , meet everyone, nothing else, I can’t make up my mind about all ideas and situations, I have to ask the master to make a decision.”

"If the master behind them is determined, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the southern border, and you will have to stay in Ubi City for a long, long time."

"We think so too, so we have to take them by surprise, not let them lead the way, and catch them off guard." Liang Jieque showed a faint smile, "Even today, I still think there is no problem with this decision. ." "Leave quietly?"

"Yes!" Liang Jieque nodded, "Didn't we come with many caravans before? Those caravans had finished their business and came to ask us if we wanted to go together, and we agreed. So, The day after meeting that group of people, we packed our bags, mixed in with the caravans, and left Ubi City smoothly."

"Was the trip back smooth?"

"It went very smoothly at the beginning. The land route was part of the journey because there was a large army traveling together at night and starry, so we didn't encounter any trouble. After we separated from the large army, we walked overland for less than half a day and arrived at the dock. Our ship has been prepared for a long time. After we loaded all the boxes on board and several ships left the shore, we said goodbye to the Western Regions. So far, it has been relatively smooth. The ship has even traveled halfway. , they are all going back to Daxia soon, everything went very smoothly."

"When did the trouble start?"

"It should be the eighth day after leaving the dock. The entire voyage takes about fifteen days. The daytime on the eighth day was calm, but at night, I felt that everything was wrong." Liang Jieque looked at Shen Haolin and Chen Cha , then looked at Xue Ruitian, "I don't know if you have that feeling, that is, when danger comes, people will instinctively predict the danger. We were not in a good mood that day and felt that we had to hurry up, but the wind direction There was a change, so we couldn’t go fast at all, also because of the wind direction, so the night attack that night was very successful.”

"The person who attacked you is..."

"Japanese people." Liang Jieque covered his eyes with his hands, sighed deeply, and said, "We have actually prepared for the possibility of robbery, but we never thought that it would be a night attack or a sneak attack. The setting is also very clever. After midnight, when people are most sleepy and mentally distracted, and when they think the night can pass safely, they suddenly hear the sound of shouting and killing coming from outside. I walked from the cabin When we walked out, we saw that a lot of Japanese pirates had invaded our deck. Visually, there were about thirty or fifty people. Although we had many people, the enemy was very strong and they were defeated quickly. I think After a while, their target was us, especially the foster father and the eldest and second brothers. All of them were attacking in their direction, and the guards were in danger."

"What happened next? Why did the second uncle disappear?"

"They violently attacked my adoptive father. The eldest brother and the second brother had some difficulty in blocking, but they still resisted. Then they suddenly shot out a fire crossbow from a corner and ran directly towards me. The adoptive father, that speed was too fast. The second brother could only push the adoptive father away and block it himself. The crossbow shot through his shoulder, and he immediately fell to the ground in pain. The Japanese who besieged him immediately came up. Before..." Liang Jieque took a deep breath and waved his hands towards the others, "They hurt someone and ran away immediately. It seems that this was their purpose. Before leaving, some of them pulled off the second brother's hand. Yu Pei, ran back to their ship. Although there was a panic at that time, I still saw three people watching the battle standing on the other side's deck. Two of them were Hu Shang who met us, and one person..." She looked at Xiang Shen Zhonghe, "Your Hui Niang looks like him, but the Japanese snatched the jade pendant and handed it directly to that person."
