The waves sparkled on the sea, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
In front of the ship's railing, Shen Xinglian carefully examined the Lily Order given to Xu Zun by the Queen Mother, still in great shock.
Yes, in half a year, who could have expected that so many things would happen?
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun looked at the sea level in the distance and said to Shen Xingran, "I bought the Xu family's old house...oh...no, it was the Queen Mother who gave the Xu family's old house to me as a reward. I feel that the old house has nothing to do with it. Change……"
"Xu Zun..." Shen Xingran returned the Lily Order to Xu Zun. He didn't care about Xu Zun's words and asked eagerly, "Where is Qianqian now?"
Xu Zun was slightly startled and said casually: "Zhaoye Temple."
Naturally, Xu Zun could not tell him that he suspected that Shen Qian was the real murderer of Shen Tiande, nor could he say that he went to Zhaoye Temple later.
"Where are Xinghong and Xinglian?" Shen Xingran asked worriedly, "How are they?"
"Everything is fine," Xu Zun said, "I'm waiting for you to go back!"
"Well..." Shen Xingran felt relieved after learning that his brothers and sisters were safe, and then asked, "I have also heard about the iron coffin case two years ago. Xu Zun, tell me what happened to the iron coffin back then. thing?"
Xu Zun shook his head helplessly and told the truth: "I still haven't figured out the real situation of the Iron Coffin case. It seems...this matter concerns the powerful people in the DPRK and China, and everyone is keeping it secret."
Hearing Xu Zun's answer, Shen Xingran was obviously not satisfied.
In fact, apart from his father's death, what shocked and surprised Shen Xingran the most was Xu Zun himself.
Because Shen Xingran watched Xu Zun grow up and knew Xu Zun's abilities and temperament well.
In his opinion, the fact that Xu Zun repeatedly solved major cases and was promoted to the Daxuanti Criminal Officer was simply a fantasy!
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun thought of something and asked Shen Xingran, "How did you go on a mission to the East China Sea with the prince? I heard... that you entered the Xuan Dao?"
"There is no way," Shen Xingran said helplessly, "If you don't join the Tao, it will be difficult to develop further."
"You followed...Yuan Su, oh no, Yuan Tianshi?"
Xu Zun remembered that Yuan Su held a high position and it was inappropriate to call him by his first name.
"It's just a false name," Shen Xingran said. "It was through my friends that I became his named apprentice, but I don't even know which way the Xuanwu Academy's gate opens!"
Yuan Su is Qiu Dingtian's disciple with the most outstanding abilities and connections. He is currently the Headmaster of Xuanwu Academy and was named the Headmaster of the National Protectorate by the Empress Dowager. This position is second only to the Imperial Preceptor.
Xu Zun felt that if Yuan Su had not been implicated by Qiu Dingtian, he would have been the current national master.
Originally, Xu Zun wanted to take the opportunity to ask about Qiu Dingtian, but seeing that Shen Xingran was not interested in Xuandao, he had to give up.
"Xu Zun, I really don't understand," Shen Xingran said, "Why did the Queen Mother send you to find the prince? Since even His Majesty has been placed under house arrest, then the prince... is still..."
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun said, "Although you have a military background, you have only been in officialdom for a day or two!
"The prince is always the grandson of the Queen Mother, and the only grandson! That is the blood of the royal family. Although the emperor is under house arrest today, God knows he will never be able to return to the Golden Palace?"
"Well..." Shen Xingran breathed out heavily, "I'm not worried about anything else, but... I saw with my own eyes that the prince's battleship was sunk by the Kraken. I'm afraid... it's already in danger, right? "
"But no matter what," Xu Zun said, "we have to find out and find the survivors."
"Where the Kraken attacked the fleet," Shen Xingran thought of something and said, "There are indeed many islands nearby, and they are very close to the Banshee Kingdom. Maybe... there should be survivors, right?
Glutinous rice
"By the way," he finally thought of the important point and said hurriedly, "how did you know that the prince was attacked?"
"The Queen Mother received the news," Xu Zun said truthfully, "but the situation is not clear. Some people just said that the prince's mission was attacked somewhere in the East China Sea. The prince's whereabouts are unknown, but no one knows about the sea monster."
"The Queen Mother has received news that there are survivors?" Shen Xingran was confused, "Where are the people?"
"Well..." Xu Zun looked embarrassed.
"No way?" Shen Xingran was shocked, "Could it be... could it be..."
"I suspect that the survivors were silenced," Xu Zun said. "Someone seems to not want the news of the attack on the prince to be reported back to Daxuan!"
"Oh my God," Shen Xingran sat down slumped, "Why is this? Why do you want to block the news?"
Shen Xingran's problem is also Xu Zun's problem.
Originally, it might make sense if the prince was attacked by criminals and then wanted to block the news.
But the prince was attacked by a sea monster, so why did he block the news?
What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun couldn't help but ask after thinking of this, "you said you attacked the Kraken at that time? Did you fire a cannon? How did the Kraken react?"
"Siren?" Shen Xingran said, "It seems...there is no reaction! Its body is too big, and even after the cannonball hit it, no abnormality was seen in it.
"We also shot arrows and fired cannons, but that thing..." Shen Xingran was a little incoherent, "We didn't even see clearly what that thing looked like."
When Shen Xingran said this, a movie about Dee Renjie popped up in Xu Zun's mind. It seemed to be called Dragon King, and there was a huge sea monster in it.
Could it be that...in this Daxuan world, there are also sea monsters, but this sea monster feels a bit strange.
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun said, "you just escaped from death on Gufeng Island. I sent someone to arrange a room for you. You'd better take a good rest first! When you feel better, you can tell me more about the Kraken.
!”
"Xu Zun, then..." Shen Xingran said, "Do you have incense candles and burning paper? I want to... pay homage to my father. The child was unfilial and could not die..."
When talking about the sad part, Shen Xingran shed tears.
"Okay," Xu Zun said sadly, "I will send someone to make arrangements for you!"
Next, Xu Zun waved to Hou Zhen and asked Hou Zhen to arrange Shen Xingran.
After Shen Xingran left, Xu Zun called Huo Anu to him and ordered:
"Anu, go to the cabin and ask the dancers and musicians if their experiences are the same as those of Brother Shen!"
"Ah?" Huo Anu was startled, "Sir, what, don't you believe Brother Shen?"
"It's not that I don't believe him," Xu Zun said, "I just feel that his mental state is not right and he feels a little delirious.
"So far, all the theories about sea monsters are limited to Brother Shen," Xu Zun said, "We must understand all versions."
"I understand," Huo Anu said, "I'll go right away."
"Also," Xu Zun said again, "tell Ani that I want to meet the Crown Princess later..."
