A mouse squeaked across somewhere on the ground, and what came to Xu Zun's ears was the sound of a woman sobbing.
When Xu Zun came to the depths of the cabin and saw the scene inside the iron cage, he suddenly felt heavy.
But I saw that all the people imprisoned in the iron cage were young women, and there were even girls around ten years old.
The women were half-clothed, unkempt, and their bodies were covered with whip marks, which was shocking.
You can imagine what these women encountered on the pirate ship.
Scanning the group, Xu Zun saw that most of the women were from various tribes in the East China Sea, and there were also people from the Central Plains and dark-skinned Nanyang women.
I even saw a few tall European and American women with white skin.
this
Xu Zun frowned at first, but after a moment's thought, he realized that these pirates specialize in robbing ships plying the East China Sea. They must have robbed many foreign ocean-going fleets, right?
"My lord, my lord
At this time, Huo Anu ran over quickly, leaned into Xu Zun's ear and whispered, "There are two people inside."
A Daxuan woman claims that they are the prince’s maids!’
"Ah?" Xu Zun was shocked and hurriedly followed Huo Anu to the cage inside.
But seeing that the two women had been helped out of the cage by the guards, Shangguan Min and Li Xing quickly took off their clothes and put them on the two women.
These are two extremely young and thin women.
Despite being brutally ravaged, one can still tell from their appearance and hairstyle that they are indeed Daxuan women.
"Woooo
Seeing Xu Zun in Daxuan official uniform, the two women burst into tears.
"Sir, please save us, ugh
Woo
"you
Xu Zun originally wanted to ask in detail, but unfortunately there were so many people at the scene that it was difficult to ask.
So, Xu Zun glanced at Huo Anu.
Huo Anu instantly understood what Xu Zun meant and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Don't worry! You have been saved. Come, follow me!"
The two women wanted to reveal their identities again, but Huo Anu grabbed them and signaled them not to talk nonsense, and then took them back to the Daxuan battleship.
Next, Xu Zun went to another pirate ship and saw many items from the Daxuan Navy.
For example, gold, silver, jewelry, armor, weapons and equipment, etc.
Seeing these situations, an idea formed in the minds of Xu Zun and everyone else, that is, these pirates had contact and even fought with the prince's mission!
These things were probably stolen by pirates.
But...how could the pirates defeat the Daxuan battleship?
Besides, wasn't the prince's mission attacked by a sea monster?
Why did the people and things from the Prince's Mission appear on the pirate ship?
Things became more and more strange, and Xu Zun became more eager to know the truth.
So, instead of checking other pirate ships, he returned directly to the battleship and interrogated the pirate leader a second time.
The internal guards are all masters of interrogation. During Xu Zun's inspection, Asiuzai had already passed the death-defying harsh interrogation and got the pirate leader to confess.
At this moment, the pirate leader was hung in a certain cabin, with little blood stains on the ground, and various horrific instruments of torture placed next to him.
I..." The pirate leader's head was down, his right ear had been cut off, and blood was dripping, "We received the news
, let us loot a Daxuan battleship, saying that there are countless trophies on board... So, we
"Wait a minute," Xu Zun waved his hand and asked, "Who are you?"
"We...our pirate leader replied, "We are the pirates of Izumo Country. Because Izumo Country is at war, we came to the west. We
)...Hey? Hey hey hey....
Before the pirate leader finished speaking, he saw Xu Zun waving to Ashuzai.
Asiu Zai directly took the knife and cut the pirate's other ear.
"Don't," Xu Zun waved his hand and said, "Don't cut off his ears anymore, he can't hear clearly now! Let's cut off his eyes instead, there's no use if he can't see!"
"Yes!" Ashuzai turned and put the knife close to the pirate leader's eye.
"Hei Hei Bo Yu..." the pirate leader shouted in horror, "We are all subordinates of Hei Bo Yu, and our news was given to us by Hei Bo Yu. No, no, no.
Seeing the pirate leader say Hei Bo Yu's name, Xu Zun signaled Asiuzai to stop.
"Hei Bo Yu
Xu Zun frowned and asked, "Why does he want you to attack the Daxuan battleship? Can you defeat it? Are you here?
Where was the attack, and was it successful?’
"At Whale Bend," the pirate leader said quickly, "there were not many defenders on that warship. We fired a few shots at it and then we captured it!"
"What about...the people on the boat?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly...
"Well, this, this
Seeing the pirate leader's hesitation, Xu Zun already knew the answer.
However, the appearance still needs to be shown.
Ashuzai cut the pirate leader's face with a knife, just a few inches away from his eye.
"Ah, I said, I said
The pirate leader shouted loudly, "We killed all the people and took the loot on the ship.
After that, he sank the boat in the Bay of Whales!"
After hearing this, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Xu Zun and others felt more and more that something was strange, and it was completely inconsistent with Shen Xingran's story.
"Whale Bay is just off the coast of the Banshee Kingdom," Xiao Zhennan whispered in Xu Zun's ear, "very close to the sea area where the prince was attacked.
oh
Xu Zun suddenly understood something. Shen Xingran said that one of the escort warships of the Prince's Mission was not attacked by the Kraken.
So was it the frigate that the pirates attacked?
broken
Xu Zun's mood suddenly became heavy. If the escort warship had not been sunk by the Kraken, then maybe they would have saved the prince.
But if the prince is on the boat, then...
"Let me ask you," Xu Zun asked
"Who are the people on the battleship?"
"Ah?" The pirate was surprised and said quickly, "They are all soldiers dressed similarly to you!"
"how many?"
"There are only about twenty people!"
More than twenty?
Xu Zun guessed whether the escort warship was also damaged like the Tianfu giant ship?
"What
Xu Zun asked again, "When?"
"One day ago, oh
The pirate leader replied, "Just yesterday!"
What!?
Xu Zun suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't understand why he couldn't even keep up with the time.
"My lord, my lord..." At this time, Huo Anu hurriedly came from behind, pulled Xu Zun aside and reported in a low voice, "Those two women have been confirmed and are indeed the prince's maids.
"Oh?" Xu Zun asked, "What did they say?"
"They said," Huo Anu said, "that when the prince's delegation was attacked by a sea monster, they followed the prince onto the frigate. After the attack, they fell into the water.
"Then, they relied on a boat plank and drifted on the sea for a day and a night. They were rescued by local indigenous people and placed on an unknown island in the Banshee Kingdom.
"Three days ago, the pirates robbed the island and took the women on the island, including the two of them, aboard the ship." Oh
Xu Zun nodded slightly and then straightened out the timeline of the entire incident.
