When Xiao Zhennan asked the prisoner, the pirate shook his head in confusion, as if he didn't understand, or maybe he had never seen the prince before.
Fortunately, there was more than one prisoner, and the guards brought three more prisoners to them.
After being beaten and threatened, the three prisoners kowtowed in fear and expressed their willingness to answer any questions.
As a result, after some chattering, one of the prisoners seemed to remember something and hurriedly replied to Xiao Zhennan.
What's even more interesting is that this prisoner actually spoke Daxuan dialect, but his pronunciation and pronunciation were a little out of tune.
"...That was all a long time ago. The Daixuan Kingdom's envoy did come to Izumo Kingdom. It seems..." this person recalled, "they only stayed for two or three nights and then left!"
"Oh," Zhao Yu was surprised, "This little ghost man can actually speak Daxuan dialect?"
"Because we have been doing business with Daxuan all the year round," Han Feier introduced, "intermarriage is inevitable. It is not uncommon for some people to speak Daxuan dialect."
"Prince," Xu Zun asked immediately without having to translate this time, "Have you seen my Daxuan prince?"
"...No...I don't know," the prisoner replied, "The people who greeted the delegation were all royal guards. We couldn't get in touch with them at all. I just saw five giant ships coming with my own eyes. They were so impressive!"
Five ships...
Xu Zun nodded silently, and the East China Sea mission did indeed go there on five ocean-going warships.
Moreover, according to the mission's itinerary, the first stop was indeed Izumo Country.
"Then did you see those five giant ships leave with your own eyes?" Xu Zun asked.
"Yes, I saw it!" Not only did the prisoner answer affirmatively, but another prisoner also nodded frequently and echoed in Daxuan language, "We also saw it, it's very majestic..."
It seems...
Xu Zun thought that the prince had already left Izumo Country when something happened.
Originally, Xu Zun wanted to ask them if they had heard any rumors about Prince Daxuan, but then he thought about it. They were all soldiers who fled from the Izumo Kingdom after being defeated in the war. I was afraid that asking would be in vain.
So, he handed Zhao Yu a color, which meant that Zhao Yu could continue to interrogate other questions.
"Where is your leader?" Zhao Yu asked, "What kind of restaurant is that? Where is he?"
"It's Saito..." Xiao Zhennan corrected again.
"Chief Saito has landed with the large army," the prisoner replied, "We don't know where he is?"
"Your original plan was to rob and frame the crime," Zhao Yu asked again, "What are your plans after the robbery?"
"There is a Gufeng Island 100 miles north of the East China Sea," the prisoner said without hesitation, "We plan to hide all the things we robbed there and stay there for a while.
"After Daxuan sends troops, we will sail the warship back to the Izumo Kingdom and frame the fault!"
"Then what?" Zhao Yu asked again, "If the frame-up is successful and Daxuan defeats the Izumo Kingdom, what will you do next?"
"We? We..." the prisoner said hesitantly, "When the Daigen Navy leaves, we will re-enter the Izumo Kingdom and become heroes..."
"..." Everyone looked at each other, feeling that these pirates were childish and even a little cute.
"Then what if the Daigen navy doesn't leave?" Zhao Yu said, "From now on Izumo Country becomes a state of Daigen, what will you do?"
"Well... this... this..." The prisoner faltered for a long time without answering. Apparently he had not considered this possibility.
"In your team," Zhao Yu asked again, "Have you ever seen anyone from Daxuan?"
Zhao Yu asked this question, obviously he was going after the traitor.
After Xiao Zhennan translated to them, the four prisoners shook their heads at the same time, expressing ignorance.
So, Zhao Yu continued the interrogation...
At this time, Xu Zun slowly came to the boat gang and looked into the distance.
Gu Yu
After the fierce battle at sea just now, there were shipwrecks everywhere on the sea, and occasionally a few fallen enemies could be seen in the water.
In order to get more information, Xu Zun asked Li Xing to use a rope to fish people out.
These people who fell overboard may be able to learn more detailed information if they stay on the boat.
Turning around to look at Yongming Water City, it was still shrouded in fire and screams, and it was a miserable place.
How stupid!
For an unreliable revenge plan, the people of Yongming City suffered a catastrophe. It was really a disaster.
I don’t know how the senior court officials in Yongming County’s Yamen are doing now? People from the Prince’s Mansion, as well as the prefect, the county guard, the shipping department...
Perhaps, relying on the defenders in the city, they should be able to drive the enemy out of Shuicheng, right?
At this time, Xu Zun looked at Ku Niang, who had been by his side.
Although nothing could be seen on the surface, there seemed to be a spiritual connection that allowed Xu Zun to feel that Ku Niang's current situation was not as good as it seemed.
The shocking jump just now must have consumed her internal strength and caused her old injuries to relapse.
Thinking of this, Xu Zun felt worried and quickly grabbed Ku Niang's hand to check.
Unexpectedly, Ku Niang had grabbed Chuan Gang's hand before and was unharmed, which was simply incredible.
Unexpectedly, it was unscathed and soft and delicate. It was completely impossible to tell that this hand was a killer!!
After interrogating for a period of time, Zhao Yu asked Li Xing to continue the interrogation while he approached Xu Zun and reported to Xu Zunhui:
"Sir, I asked you clearly about the kerosene bottles," Zhao Yu said, "They all carry them with them. Almost everyone carries a few bottles.
"That thing was used to kill people and set fire to it, not to burn the ship!"
"Um……"
Xu Zun glanced at Zhao Yu and admired in his heart, this guy is really the roundworm in his belly, he is so in tune with him!
The kerosene bottle problem seems simple, but it is actually very important.
If these pirates prepared to burn the ship in advance, it means that the pirates were instructed by others to prevent Xu Zun and others from going to sea.
From this, we can also infer that the pirates are related to the disappearance of the prince.
But now it is clear from interrogation that the kerosene bottles were used to kill people and set fire to them. Seeing that they could not seize the warship, they resorted to throwing kerosene bottles to burn the ship.
In this way, it can be explained that they have nothing to do with the disappearance of the prince.
Now, it is learned through the captives that the Daxuan envoy has completed its mission to visit Izumo Country, so... the place where the prince's accident happened should be somewhere else.
The attack on Yongming Port this time may also be an accident and has nothing to do with the Prince Edward incident.
"Master Xu," at this time, Xiao Zhennan and a soldier leader on the ship came to Xu Zun and asked, "Now that the matter has been resolved, what are we going to do next?"
"Yes, sir," the soldier leader said worriedly, "Looking at the situation at Yongming Port, we can't go ashore!
"How about... let's go to Wuzhou to mobilize troops?"
"No need!" Xu Zun said, "The pirate incident is over for now, we have more important tasks to do!"
"This..." Xiao Zhennan seemed to hear that Xu Zun's words were wrong, and his expression suddenly changed, revealing an incredulous expression.
However, Xu Zun still said the words he imagined: "Now, let's set sail and go to the ten countries in the East China Sea..."
