As soon as Xu Zun got off the boat, he felt out of breath and his body became sticky due to sweat.
Looking around, you can see that this remote eastern island displays unique and exotic customs everywhere.
Everyone here, regardless of gender, old or young, wears short sleeves and shorts.
Here, it seems that there are no conservative ideas of feudal society. Even women dress more openly.
Perhaps because of the light, most of the original inhabitants of the Banshee Kingdom are dark and shiny, and appear healthy and fit.
Their dressing also has a unique style. I wonder if they like brighter things, so everyone is dressed in sparkling clothes.
Whether it is headgear or clothing, they are all made of polished shells, which look shiny and even dazzling.
In addition, this remote island country is not as primitive and backward as Xu Zun imagined, and the docks are extremely exquisite.
Looking deep into the island, you can see many high-rise buildings. Even though they are not as majestic as Xuanmiao City, they are still impressive.
Moreover, the pavilions here also adhere to the shining characteristics and are built like silver towers, which is dazzling.
Before Xu Zun disembarked, Hou Zhen and others had already contacted the local person in charge at the dock.
Xu Zun's guess was right. The leader of the Banshee Kingdom, Kong Zhen, was indeed waiting here.
Presumably, they had already recognized Daxuan's fleet and knew that it was Daxuan's special envoy, so they reported it to the king early.
Kong Zhen didn't dare to neglect him, so he came to the dock to greet him in person.
Xu Zun was not very knowledgeable about diplomatic etiquette, but he also knew that Kong Zhen was the master of a country after all. Even if Daxuan's envoy arrived, he should not greet him in person, he could just greet him outside his palace.
Therefore, Xu Zun judged that Kong Zhen must have known about the attack on the prince, and knew that the matter was related to the survival of the country, so he did not dare to neglect it.
It seems that I have to meet this legendary banshee king for a while!
Soon, Xu Zun, led by local officials, came to a pavilion near the pier.
Under the pavilion, a woman with extraordinary temperament wearing a pearl tiara appeared in front of Xu Zun.
Xu Zun was slightly startled. He never expected that Her Majesty the Queen was not wearing any elegant robe. Instead, she was wearing a shiny short-sleeved skirt like the people.
Short skirt…
Xu Zun swallowed secretly and lamented that this skirt was too short, comparable to modern miniskirts.
Due to the bead curtain, Xu Zun could not see clearly the appearance of Her Majesty the Queen, but through this short dress and skirt, he could see that Her Majesty the Queen also had dark skin and a strong figure.
Moreover, Her Majesty the Queen's height and figure are so standard that she could go on a catwalk in Milan.
However, how could Xu Zun dare to think wildly? After all, the data showed that Kong Zhen was already over forty years old, which was not considered young.
"Xu Zun, the executioner of Da Xuanti," Xu Zun bowed and saluted, "I have met Her Majesty the Queen!"
Out of etiquette, Xu Zun bowed to the end.
However, Kong Zhen quickly stopped him and said: "There is no need to be polite to the special envoy Daxuan. I didn't know that the special envoy arrived and I didn't greet him well. I hope you can forgive me!"
As expected, Kong Zhen's Chinese dialect was extremely standard, without any accent.
From the queen's words, Xu Zun could hear the urgency, and it seemed that Kong Zhen was a little panicked.
Feeling so, Xu Zun deliberately delayed the rhythm and stood still.
"Sir," Kong Zhen first signaled to his subordinates, then pointed to the pavilion and said, "please follow my direction!"
After saying that, she took Xu Zun under the pavilion.
I don’t know what the design is in this pavilion. After entering the pavilion, Xu Zun immediately felt much cooler.
Look at the various melons and fruits placed on the stone table in the middle. The melons and fruits are exuding white air, as if they have just been taken out of the refrigerator.
Seeing that the queen was so anxious, Xu Zun also dismissed the guards around him out of etiquette, and only took Huo Anu into the pavilion.
"Sir Special Envoy," Kong Zhen asked impatiently while gesturing Xu Zun to take a seat, "I wonder, have you found Prince Daxuan?"
oh?
Xu Zun frowned slightly. It seemed that Kong Zhen did know about the attack on the prince.
"Your Majesty the Queen," Xu Zun clasped his fists and said, "Since you ask this, I would like to ask you boldly, my Daxuan envoy was attacked in the waters near the Banshee Kingdom, why did the Banshee Kingdom not send a letter to Daxuan to inform me? "
"Ah?" Kong Zhen shuddered, his body trembled slightly, and he said in surprise, "Why did your Excellency say this? After receiving the news, I had already sent a messenger from the Banshee Kingdom to Daxuan to deliver the message. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not have Will you come here?"
"Oh?" Xu Zun frowned again and asked, "So, the queen has sent a messenger? But we didn't receive any message! Is the person who sent the message back?"
"This..." Kong Zhen was stunned and said, "I haven't... not come back! I later sent another group of messengers to look for him, but he has not returned yet.
"Special envoy, is there... any misunderstanding?"
In desperation, perhaps because it was inconvenient to speak, Kong Zhen simply took off his pearl crown.
Yo?
Xu Zun was startled, but he saw that Her Majesty the Queen's facial features were upright and sharp. Although her skin was dark but crystal clear, especially her two big eyes, she was simply a perfect "black pearl".
Moreover, where he looks like he is forty, he looks like he is only in his early twenties.
I wonder if Her Majesty the Queen takes good care of herself?
Of course, it is Xu Zun's nature to appreciate beauties, but his head is very clear.
He knew that at this time, he couldn't reveal too much information and had to dig out more information from the other party's mouth.
"Your Majesty the Queen," Xu Zun asked, "what happened to my prince's delegation?"
"Ah? This..." Hearing this, Kong Zhen became even more frightened, "Please tell me clearly, the affairs of the mission really have nothing to do with our Banshee Kingdom!
"Our Banshee Country is just a small country in the East China Sea, a tiny place. We...we have no power...we...well...we are really innocent..."
"Your Majesty, please don't get excited," Xu Zun comforted, "I am here this time to investigate the truth of the matter. What do you know, please tell me the truth.
"Have you sent anyone to investigate after the incident happened to the mission?"
"Investigate...investigate..." Kong Zhen calmed down and said, "After I got the news, of course I was terrified. I sent people to investigate and search and rescue overnight.
"But unfortunately, I learned the news too late. By the time we went to the sea area where the incident occurred to search and rescue, we couldn't see anything!
"In the end, we could only expand to the surrounding sea areas and islands to search for survivors, and finally found two Daxuan soldiers on a desert island.
"The soldiers wanted us to explain the situation clearly and learned that the whereabouts of Prince Daxuan was unknown. I...sigh..." Kong Zhen said in panic and helplessness, "I became even more anxious and used almost all the strength of the country to search for the whereabouts of the prince, but in the end nothing happened. did not find……
"In desperation, I could only send someone to Daxuan to report the news and bring the two survivors with me...
"These days, we have never stopped searching, and some fleets have even gone to the waters of other countries. Special Envoy Mingjian, this matter really has nothing to do with our Banshee Kingdom!"
Yeah?
Xu Zun was puzzled because among the prince's delegation, there was a frigate that did not sink and was docked on an island near the Banshee Kingdom.
Did they not find it, or...
"Huh?" Xu Zun thought of something again and asked, "You haven't told me yet what kind of attack the prince's mission suffered?"
