Jianming Chaos

Sun Shangxiang was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect him to be serious, so he nodded and said, "Okay, is it right here?"

Zhiming took her to a sparsely populated place and said, "In order to fulfill my promise, come on. The first trick: clasp your shoulders with five fingers."

"Five fingers on the shoulders?" Sun Shangxiang heard it for the first time.

"That's right." Zhiming put a hand on her shoulder and said, "I've offended you!"

He exerted a light force with five fingers, and Sun Shangxiang's shoulder was dislocated immediately, causing her to kneel on the ground in pain, with a painful expression on her face.

"What are you doing? A sneak attack?" Sun Shangxiang sat sideways with her legs curled up, complaining with dissatisfaction.

Zhiming thought it was a heavy hand, so he quickly helped her up, helped her straighten her joints with a click, and said, "I'm sorry, this trick must be demonstrated on the spot to show better results."

Sun Shangxiang moved her shoulders a bit, and everything was normal, so she was half relieved and said, "Anyway, you should say hello in advance, I'm unprepared."

"Haha, if you say hello in advance, you may not be willing to cooperate." Zhiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was no longer angry, and said, "Actually, the point of this trick is to catch the other party off guard; if the other party is on guard , it will be difficult to succeed. This trick is very effective for quickly defeating the enemy, and can make the enemy lose their fighting spirit and resistance in an instant."

"How can I learn the key?" Sun Shangxiang showed great interest.

"Remember eight words: find the right position, and exert force instantly." Zhiming put on the posture of a master teaching an apprentice, "Remember to prepare a basin of sand every day, and do finger insertion training to enhance the strength of your fingers."

"Are you asking me to practice iron sand palm?" Sun Shangxiang always felt that this movement is not suitable for women to practice.

"No, it hasn't reached that level yet. The five-finger shoulder clasp mainly tests the instant explosive power of the fingers. This trick is only used against ordinary people, and it basically doesn't work against a master like General Gan Ning." Zhiming told the truth.

"Then... can you teach me some moves that can deal with masters?" Sun Shangxiang's eyes suddenly changed from a princess to a little girl.

"You can, but it will take some time. Although your fighting moves are gorgeous, they are flashy and lack deep basic skills. Let's start with the basics first, remember what I said just now, stick to inserting your fingers for an hour every day with a pot of sand. " Zhiming's tone is like her martial arts teacher.

"One hour?!" Sun Shangxiang felt that even if he practiced for a quarter of an hour, his fingers would be swollen beyond recognition.

"Yes, it can't be less than an hour. Martial arts can't be practiced overnight or casually. Now that you have made up your mind, you must stick to it!" Zhiming said with a serious face.

"...Okay, I'll write it down." Sun Shangxiang decided to lower his posture and learn from it with an open mind.

"Now I'll teach you the second move: Levator Anus Horse Step Fist." Seeing that time was running out, Zhiming went straight to the point.

"Mabu boxing with a tank? There is no water tank here." Sun Shangxiang looked around, but couldn't find any props.

"It's not a water tank, it's a lift... Forget it, this trick is relatively difficult to learn, so let's change it. Now I will teach you a trick: put your fingers on your waist."

"Two fingers on hips?" Sun Shangxiang made a gesture of akimbo.

"It's not 'fork', it's 'plug'. Let me demonstrate..." Zhiming walked over while making gestures.

"Don't, don't, use the air to demonstrate, don't touch my body again!" Sun Shangxiang suffered a loss just now, and didn't want to be "sneak attacked" again, so she quickly avoided it.

"...Okay." Zhiming originally just wanted to put on a show. Seeing that she was so defensive, he had to demonstrate to the air, "Suppose the enemy stands here, take advantage of his unpreparedness, and use the two thumbs of both hands to slam Insert the ground to both sides of his waist, which is the part below the ribs and above the hip joint. Note that the point of force should be concentrated on the first joint of the thumb.”

Sun Shangxiang followed him and asked, "Is this trick effective?"

"The effect is great! It can strain your muscles and bones in the slightest, and injure your bones in the worst case. This move is a common one used by my master back then. It can defeat countless enemies! It is also suitable for opponents who are much bigger and heavier than me!" Zhiming said vividly that he actually came up with this trick on the spur of the moment.

Sun Shangxiang nodded and practiced several times facing the air, and she was very devoted.

"Okay, princess, I'll teach you next time. I have important things to do today, so let's go first." Zhiming was about to return to Yidu Kingdom.

"Wait a minute!" Sun Shangxiang stopped him, "Leaving so soon? Where are you going? What's the matter with this clothes?"

Zhiming was speechless for a while, so he could only change the subject: "By the way, you must persist in practicing the two moves you mentioned just now! As for the second move, you can usually find some soft objects like sandbags. Practice. Just practice a lot and you'll get the hang of it in no time."

After finishing speaking, he whispered in his ear: "If your brother is disobedient in the future, use this trick on him to ensure that he will be obedient and never dare to provoke you again."

Sun Shangxiang didn't expect him to make such a joke, and couldn't help laughing out like a pig.

Zhiming bid farewell to Sun Shangxiang, returned to Zhuge Jin's mansion as quickly as possible, and said to everyone: "Don't worry, I have solved the assassin's problem, and everyone can sleep here in peace from now on."

"How did you solve it?" Master found it inconceivable.

"I found Princess Shangxiang and asked her for a favor." Zhiming said mysteriously.

"What help? She will help you easily?" Alan didn't quite believe it.

"I promised her to keep it a secret. So, you just need to know that it's okay." Zhiming didn't want to reveal the identity of the assassin, which was also his responsibility to Sun Shangxiang.

"If you meet an assassin here, you can solve it by looking for Sun Quan's sister? Are you sure it's all right?" Zhao Yun still didn't believe it.

"Trust me, Brother Zilong. I still have tasks to do, so I'm leaving first. Take care, everyone!" Zhiming waved goodbye to everyone.

"Brother, when will you come next time?" Alan asked reluctantly.

"It should be soon, I will come back as soon as possible." Zhiming is not sure, as long as he finds Cai Yan, he can return to Dahan immediately.

Zhiming came to a deserted place outside the mansion and tried to press the button of the magic ring, but there was still no response.

There is no way but to use black hole magic again.After a while, he returned to the courtyard of the feudal mansion.

This is great, there are a few maids cleaning in the yard, when they see a black hole appear out of thin air, and a person walks out of it, they are frightened and run away, thinking that a monster is coming to catch someone.

"It's okay, I'm human..." Zhiming had already run away before he could stop them.

He hurried back to the original room, but fortunately, there was no one in it.He quickly lay down and pretended to be asleep.

After a while, the jingling of wind chimes and the footsteps of a group of people came from the corridor outside.The clogs made a screeching sound as they stepped on the wooden floor.

The door opened, and Sagi came in first, followed by several samurai and servants.Seeing the "sleeping" Zhiming, Sagi hesitated for a moment, but woke him up anyway.

Zhiming pretended to have just woken up, sat up sleepily, and said, "Hey, Mr. Sagi, why is it you? Why are you all here? What happened?"

"Lei Xiashi, it's already high in the sun, and you still don't get up!" Zuo Mu said in a more stern tone, "Did you see any strange people or objects?"

Zhiming was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes and said, "I just woke up, how did I see anything?"

A maid whispered a few words into Sagi's ear.Zuo Mu nodded and said to the others: "Go out first and close the door."

At this moment, only Zhi Ming and Zuo Mu were left in the room, and the atmosphere was a bit unusual.

Zuo Mu walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, scanning every corner of the room, and finally fell on Zhiming, saying, "Lei Xiashi, are you still going to tell me your real identity?"

Zhiming pretended to be stupid: "What is my real identity? I am an ordinary soldier who crossed the sea from the Han Dynasty, and I came to look for Cai Wenji by the order of the Lord."

"Are you sure you came across the sea?" Zuo Mu narrowed his eyes and asked.

"...sure. Is there a problem?" Zhiming tried to remain calm, looking directly at the other party.

"Well, I would like to ask, from which port or outlet did you take the boat? How many days did it take you to get here from the other side?" Zuo Mu said in a semi-questioning tone.

Zhiming was speechless for a while, so he could only say: "I don't remember clearly. The boat capsized when it was about to reach the shore. The other crew members were swallowed by the huge waves. I was the only one who survived."

"Can't even remember the departure date?" Zuo Mu turned half of his body, looking at him from the corner of his eye and asked.

"Yes, I was in a hurry when I went out to sea, and after capsizing, I only wanted to escape. I finally swam to the shore. Fear blurred my memory, and I really can't remember it." Zhiming explained indiscriminately.

Zuo Mu paused for a long time, then turned around and said: "Actually, I have sent people to the Xiezhi Peninsula to ask the local fishermen, and they said that they have not found any shipwreck floating on the sea these days. "

"It's so strange, they all sank to the bottom of the sea." Zhiming said unhurriedly.

"Haha, it seems that knights don't have enough knowledge in this area. Whether it's a big ship or a small boat, even if it sinks to the bottom of the sea, there will always be debris floating on the surface of the sea. The fishermen there are fishing in the sea every day. If there are any It is impossible for no one to know about the shipwreck accident." Zuo Mu said in an unquestionable tone.

Zhiming became a little impatient, and said, "My lord, please speak directly if you have something to say, without going around in circles. First of all, it doesn't matter what kind of transportation I take to come; second, I was invited to your residence because we both have our own interests." Yes, you can provide me with information about Cai Wenji, and I can do something for you. I believe you will not invite a foreigner to dinner for no reason, right?"

Zuo Mu smiled and said, "Haha, you really are a straightforward person! Well, since that's the case, I'll be straightforward."

"Listen carefully." Zhiming asked the other party to sit down.

The two sat cross-legged on both sides of the low table.Zuo Mu ordered his servants to serve wine.

After the wine ceremony, Zuo Mu paused and said, "Actually, yesterday in the downtown market, I saw that you are not an ordinary human being, so I brought you back."

Zhiming didn't refute him, just nodded slightly and listened quietly.

Zuo Mu continued: "To be honest, Ito is a relatively small and backward country among the archipelagic countries, so it is often attacked by neighboring powers. Of course, so far, we can still hold it; but It’s hard to say whether it will be able to hold on in the future.”

Zhiming listened intently without interrupting.He knows that interrupting others is not a good habit.

"Currently, the most powerful country in the archipelago is called Yamatai. Their military strength is very strong. Whether it is the army or the navy, their strength far exceeds ours. Recently, their queen once again ordered to implement a large-scale attack on the Yidu country. Large-scale attack, vowing to annex the country." When Zuo Mu said this, the wrinkles on his brows spread outward like waves.

"It turns out that the legend is true, and the war here is even worse than that of the big man." Zhiming thought.

"Originally, as a weak country, in order to maintain relations with neighboring powerful countries, Yidu Kingdom would pay them a batch of food, horses, silk brocades, and even labor or kabuki to show their friendship every year. However, this year Due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people were unable to pay taxes in full, and the national treasury was short of money, so they really had no ability to pay tribute to other countries, so..." Zuo Mu deliberately paused at this point.

"So the surrounding countries are dissatisfied and started to make trouble." Zhiming finally interjected.

"That's right, that's right." Zuo Mu raised his glass again.

The two drank it all in one gulp.Zuo Mu added wine to Zhiming and said: "Actually, paying tribute can only alleviate the damage of war to a certain extent, but it cannot prevent war. Our country has made so many efforts, but it still cannot change the current situation, let alone eliminate it. The consequences of war."

"Since the result of paying tribute is the same as not paying tribute, why give it away for nothing?" Zhiming spread his hands.

"As I said, tribute can only be used as a lubricant for diplomatic means to reduce the harm of war, but it cannot avoid war itself. The Emperor of Yidu Kingdom also gradually realized this problem. As the situation deteriorated, he resolutely decided not to pay any tribute to the neighboring countries. No, the most powerful Yamatai country was the first to express its dissatisfaction, and it was ready to go to war again." Zuo Mu clenched his fists unconsciously.

"Is Yamatai the country with the largest territory in this archipelago?" Zhiming asked.

"That's right, not only the largest, but also the most powerful. The location is just to the east of Yidu Country, facing each other across the sea; its nearest military stronghold is less than a hundred nautical miles away from the country. Their army is very powerful, especially the navy; If we really fight, we are by no means their opponents." Zuo Mu said, staring at the wine in the glass with a solemn expression.

"Then... what is my role?" Zhiming suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"You are the person predicted by Master Mi Hai, the savior of Yidu Kingdom!" Zuo Mu said the shocking words.
