Chapter 721 The little prince
Fang Bi carried the package alone and walked quietly on the mountain path.
Although half of Goryeo is now in a state of war and chaos, there is no doubt that the speed of those refugees fleeing is much slower than that of others.
As far as rushing is concerned, the young man does have a great advantage.
"So this is Seoul?" Fang Bi looked at the towering city that had appeared in the distance.
Different from those cities in Japan, Seoul looks more similar to the cities in China from a distance. However, in terms of the scale of the city wall, it is roughly on the same level as Guye City and definitely inferior to Yingtianfu. It's a lot, but it can still be considered a fortified city.
After all, this is the royal city of Goryeo.
However, no one answered Fang Bing's words. This journey was completed by the young man alone. In theory, Shang Jiuge would be accompanying him, but unfortunately, when the ship docked, Shang Jiuge went ashore to enjoy the scenery.
It is worth mentioning that in the past year, Shang Jiuge still reluctantly learned some Japanese. After all, you are a language teacher, and it would be very inconvenient if you really have a language barrier.
"Anyway, that guy won't be very happy." Fang Bie said quietly to himself.
In fact, when they came to Goryeo Fangbie's side this time, they all mobilized, because this time the borrowed troops had achieved Fangbie's ultimate goal, and there was no point in staying in Japan. Therefore, including He Ping, Japan The foursome have all arrived on this continent. Without the barrier of the sea, it can be said that they can run back with just their feet.
But for Shang Jiuge, she really doesn't like war.
Although the girl is said to be a very militant person, she is not a murderous person.
In fact, if possible, Shang Jiuge would be willing to keep people under his sword.
But in the past few days, Shang Jiuge has seen more senseless killings.
For the two warring parties, most of them do not have any grudges. Just as the warriors themselves said, each has his own master and fights on the battlefield. Life and death are divided on the battlefield. If one is lucky enough to survive, the same will happen off the battlefield. You can drink and talk happily.
Shang Jiuge has seen it a lot and can probably understand this kind of behavior, but he will never like it if he likes it.
Just like that day, Shang Jiuge ended up facing each other with swords because of his promise to protect Imagawa Yoshimoto, but the girl didn't like such a battle at all, and she would never like such a battle.
However, Fang Bi was talking to himself and no one answered.
"It's really boring to have no one to chat with." Fang Bie continued, looking at the sky.
Since there is no one to chat with, we can only move forward.
The difference from the Japanese country is that the Japanese country is almost entirely a country that only speaks Japanese. However, in Goryeo, the Chinese language and writing are very popular here. It is a skill that only the upper class and nobles can master, just like Napoleon. During the war, the European countries united to fight against Napoleon, but they had to communicate in French at military meetings. It was the same embarrassment. For Chinese vassals like Goryeo, the culture and customs of the Central Plains were unimaginably attractive to them. force.
In other words, the very existence of Seoul is such a meaning and symbol.
There was no overly complicated interrogation when entering the city. It is even said that most people in Seoul cannot see the fear and uneasiness of the approaching war. Fang Don looked around and couldn't help but sigh more and more - this is a country that has almost forgotten the danger and fear. , so when facing a sudden disaster, the slow response even makes people feel a little absurd and ridiculous.
Just as Fang Bie had talked with Yan Yu before, Fang Bie's evaluation of Goryeo at that time was accurately called an insult by Yan Yu.
But what he saw today made Fang Bie feel that he had greatly improved the other party.
Although this is largely due to the fact that the quality of the Japanese army, which has just experienced a chaotic war, is much higher than that of Goryeo's weakly armed army. As long as they attack, they can almost immediately intercept all the teams asking for help and emergency. But on the other hand, the corruption of the entire Goryeo Kingdom also gave Fang Bie a subtle sense of absurdity.
Because he came all the way from the occupied areas of Japan. Along the way, from the devastation left by the war to the refugees rushing on the road, and then to the quieter years that continued to move forward, until he entered Seoul, it was bustling and busy. Such a scene, completely unaware of the imminent disaster and war.
"It's really ironic to think about it this way." Fang Bie could only say to himself. He looked up at the tallest building in the city. In fact, it is embarrassing to say that the King of Goryeo in this era did not have his own palace. , the residence where the king and his family live can almost be called several large tile-roofed houses.
However, compared to other buildings in Seoul, these large tile-roofed houses are relatively easy to find.
The young man walked through the streets of Seoul and finally came to the walls of the large tile-roofed houses. Seeing no one around him, he jumped up and easily crossed the wall. What he saw was a clump of trees. Lush bamboo forest.
Although the royal palace of Goryeo was ridiculed before for being very simple, this is mainly because the scale and height of the building are very embarrassing. After all, if the reference is the palace city of Yanjing, then there may not be anything comparable to it in the whole world, just like The palace of the Emperor of Japan also does not look so majestic and grand.
However, it was obvious that what Fang Bie jumped into was the Royal Garden of the Goryeo Palace. There were green trees, green vines, rockeries and ponds, and there was a bit of the style of Jiangnan gardens in it.
Fang Bie walked a few steps in the imperial garden, and soon heard a clear and tender voice in front of him, but this time it was in Korean. Fang Bie had only learned Japanese from Yan Yu, because he had indeed I thought about borrowing power from Japan, so I came prepared, but when it comes to Korean language, I really have more than enough to do.
After the childish voice sounded, an adult's voice followed, full of embarrassment and panic. Fang Bie peeked his head in the bamboo forest and saw a gorgeously dressed little boy pointing at a thing floating in the pool. The string of rosary beads was saying something anxiously, but the people around him, who were obviously dressed as servants, had no choice but to watch the string of wooden rosary beads sink and float in the water.
Fang Bie thought for a moment, then jumped out without hesitation, jumping directly into the water like a dragonfly touching the water. When the true energy was circulating, the whole person climbed onto the water and crossed the water all the way. When he arrived near the string of rosary beads, The young man stretched out his hand and picked up the black rosary beads. Then he jumped up and came to the child in the gorgeous clothes. He reached out and handed the rosary beads to him.
The child was almost stunned.
He had never imagined that someone could step onto the water like a game and pick up the rosary he accidentally dropped into the water so easily, with a look of surprise and joy on his face.
But the servant next to him hugged the child and looked at him in horror.
Unlike the more innocent aristocratic child, he clearly knew where this place was, and he was sure that he had never seen such a strange face as Fang Bie.
There is almost only one possibility for such a being to appear here - that is, he sneaked in.
As for why you sneaked in, do you still need to think about it?
It must be His Royal Highness the prince in his arms.
But then the little prince began to struggle in his arms. He did not instinctively feel the danger, or in other words, he did not show any malice at all.
For him, he wanted to get the rosary that Fang Bie handed to him.
"Do any of you speak Chinese?" Fang Bie looked at the two people and said quietly: "I have something very important to tell His Majesty the King."
The servant looked obviously confused, but the child Looking at Fang Bie: "You can speak Chinese? So are you from China? Why do you appear here?" "
There are very complicated reasons here." Fang Bie nodded. Sure enough, the nobles of Goryeo all have Chinese. Cultural education, so being able to speak Chinese is almost a matter of course.
After all, many Goryeo nobles were interested in writing poetry. If they were not proficient in the Chinese language, how could they write those five-character and seven-character rhymed poems?
"First of all, let me return this to you."
Fang Bie said, reaching out and putting the rosary in the other person's hand: "Which son are you, His Royal Highness?"
Fang Bie asked gently.
The servant couldn't understand the conversation between the two people at all, and he only became more frightened. The child spoke to the servant in Korean, but it did not alleviate the other party's fear and anxiety. After hearing the child's explanation, He then shouted loudly in Korean.
Fang Bie stood there, motionless, while the child tried to stop the other party, but it had no effect. Immediately, the other party's shouts responded, a harsh whistle came from the distance, and then there was a group of armored men. The soldier ran towards Fang Bie at a trot.
"So is there really going to be a big fight?" Fang Bie had no intention of taking hostages, because he was playing the role of a messenger at the moment.
Not only did he have to act as the messenger, but he also had to protect the Goryeo royal family from safely escaping from the pursuit of the Japanese army, and pass the news of the request for help to the Zhou Dynasty. Only in this way could the plan proceed smoothly.
Originally, Fang Bue thought that he was making a fuss out of a molehill and was being too cautious.
Now it seems that if I don't help, the Japanese army, which has already used most of its war skill points, can really easily destroy the Goryeo royal family. At that time, there will be no letter for help. Wait until Zhou gets it According to the news, the situation is already a done deal.
Just when Fang Bie was thinking this, the leader of this group of guards had already ran to the little prince and servants and began to ask about the situation. At the same time, other guards had already surrounded Fang Bie with long swords, just waiting for an order. Capture the intruder on the spot and interrogate him thoroughly.
But it was obvious that although the little prince had a relatively high status, he was still too young and looked to be only eight or nine years old. Therefore, the captain of the guard did not consider his opinions too much and just talked to the servant in Korean. His expression became increasingly grim.
He suddenly turned around, looked at Fang Bie and shouted loudly.
Although Fang Bie didn't understand Korean dialect at all, the young man could still guess the meaning of this sentence.
It's nothing more than words like taking it down and killing it.
In short, as soon as these words came out, the guards who had originally surrounded Fang Bi were no longer polite. They stepped forward with swords in hand and raised their hands to greet Fang Bi's legs and hands. Although they did not mean to hit the vital point, But we must temporarily abolish Operation Fangbi so that we can capture him alive.
Fang Bie could only sigh and stretched out a hand.
Facing these ordinary guards, Fang Bie really didn't even need to draw his sword.
Back then, Ning Huan was able to destroy a country by one man with his own force, but it can be said that the real national power of Goryeo today may not be as powerful as those small countries in the Western Regions.
At least there is none here.
Fang Bie only used one hand and two fingers to easily hold the long sword that was thrust towards him. Then with a slight lift, Fang Bie lifted the opponent directly up. Then the young man lifted him up. He swung it like a big stick and swung it around, and saw a large circle of soldiers being knocked to the ground by Fang Bie. The other party naturally took off the long sword, but the blade was still in Fang Bie's hand.
Fang Bie didn't mind it, so he held the blade between his fingers and continued to use the long sword as a stick. He easily blocked the remaining soldiers' thrusts with the hilt of the long sword, and then lightly pounded it a few times. I saw the soldiers also falling to the ground and moaning.
Fang Bie turned around and looked at the guard captain, still holding the blade of the long sword in his hand, and smiled: "How many more people can we come with?" "
I don't think beating ten will satisfy me anymore. We should be able to fight a hundred."
Of course the guard captain couldn't understand Fang Bing's words, but the little prince could.
He looked at the guard captain and translated in Korean.
The other party immediately became furious, but looking at the ordinary guards around Fang Bie who could no longer get up, the anger was extinguished in an instant.
He looked back at the little prince and whispered a few words.
Then the little prince looked at Fang Bie: "Uncle Jin, let me ask you, what are you doing here?" "
Uncle Jin?" Fang Bie laughed a little, and then said lightly: "I said, I have a very I report important matters to His Majesty the King, and I hope to meet him."
The little prince turned around and translated again to the guard captain named Jin. The guard captain was a little surprised, and then he said a series of words. Don't even think about it and knew that it was absolutely true. I can't agree to it.
After all, no one would let a strange and dangerous person approach the king easily.
Fang Bie quietly waited for the little prince's explanation.
Unexpectedly, after listening to what Captain Jin said, the little prince turned to look at Fang Bie: "I can take you to see your father." "
But you must get your father's consent first."
