In Daxuan, the fire cloud represents a kind of auspiciousness, indicating abundant rain and prosperity of all things.
But at this moment, Xu Zun's eyes were as red as blood, making him feel excited and nervous.
Looking down, you can already see the brightly lit Banshee Island in the distance, with silhouettes of people floating around on the island, a scene of peace.
Because the black sails of the pirate ship were eye-catching, Xu Zun deliberately slowed down the ship and released a small boat to make announcements in order to avoid misunderstanding.
At this moment, you can see the lights flickering on the pier of Banshee Island and the crowds of people. It is obvious that the king has received the news and is preparing to welcome him.
However, while welcoming them, the warships of the Banshee Kingdom can also be seen gathering at the pier. It seems that the female princess is worried about fraud and is on guard against pirate attacks.
Xu Zun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a small Banshee country would have such a large-scale coastal defense team. There were no less than ten first-class battleships and countless small combat ships.
Feeling the temperature rising at the back of his head, Xu Zun finally turned around and saw Huo Anu holding a torch, facing Xu Zun.
"Sir," Huo Anu put the flame close to Xu Zun, "We are ready. Are you sure this is necessary?"
Xu Zun did not answer, but glanced at the people on the deck, and saw that the first-class warriors had already changed into soldier uniforms and were tearing holes in their clothes.
Someone deliberately removed half of his bun and smeared cigarette ash on his face, making him look extremely embarrassed.
"Um."
Xu Zun hummed and agreed.
Huo Anu was also ruthless, and when he set the flame on Xu Zun's bun, the hair beside Xu Zun's ear burst into flames.
"Oh oh oh..."
Zhao Yu was frightened and hurriedly covered Xu Zun's head with the wet cloth he had prepared to extinguish the flames.
After the wet cloth was removed, half of Xu Zun's bun on the side of his ear was burned, and smoke was rising.
"Sir," Huo Anu saw a white bubble on Xu Zun's ear, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly asked, "Are you okay!?"
"I thought," Xu Zun felt the burning pain and grinned, "you have fire in your name, so you are the best at playing with fire. It seems I took it for granted!"
When Xu Zun said this, Huo Anu couldn't help but laugh.
Xu Zun glanced at her, then began to smear soot on his face, and at the same time tore a gap in the official collar.
"Sir," At this time, Ashuzai came to report, "according to your instructions, everyone is almost ready!"
"Okay!" Xu Zun clasped his fists in front of many first-class warriors and said loudly, "Dear heroes, Xu's move is really helpless. I hope you can understand. This time is not to return Xu's favor to me, but entirely for my great sake.
Xuansheji!"
"It's okay, Mr. Xu," Xin Zhao found a half-wooden stick from somewhere and pretended to be lame due to an injured leg. He said with shining eyes, "We can only hope that you can contribute to my Daxuan!"
"Yes," another warrior dressed as a court musician said righteously, "Of course we know how powerful it is. Only when the country is stable can I, Daxuan Ziming, live and work in peace and contentment!
"Even for the sake of the common people, we are duty-bound!"
"right!"
"Yes, that's well said!"
Through the performance of the first-class warriors, Xu Zun already knew that these people came from famous sects in the world. Although they were not interested in the Daxuan court, they had a heroic heart.
Therefore, these people are worthy of entrustment.
Initially, there were twenty-seven warriors who survived and escaped from Gufeng Island. During the sparring session with Ku Niang, the warrior almost lost his life.
Later, after the battle with Hei Bo Yu, several warriors were poisoned or injured. At this moment, there are exactly twenty warriors who still maintain their fighting ability.
Looking at the guards, Li Xing and Shangguan Min were injured due to poisoning. Although they have recovered their consciousness, their condition is worrying.
Therefore, Xu Zun decided to keep them on the ship and arranged for Hou Zhen, who was more reliable, to take care of them.
In addition, in addition to the guards, Xu Zun also left Xiao Zhennan and his wife on the ship. Xiao Zhennan was the captain and had to support Xu Zun and others at any time.
Secondly, the couple were here to help, and Xu Zun didn't want them to follow him into danger again.
Finally, the Daxuan sailors led by Wu Yubao also stayed on the ship, repairing the hull and preparing to sail at any time.
As the pirate ship got closer, everyone became more and more nervous, and they could already hear various sounds coming from the Banshee Kingdom dock.
"Ji Ying," at this time, the uneasy Shen Xingran pulled Xu Zun aside and asked worriedly, "Is your plan too arbitrary? Hei Bo Yu is dead and we have no evidence. Why do you doubt Banshee like this?"
country, isn’t that inappropriate?
"Besides, what if it has nothing to do with Kong Zhen? Did Kong Zhen's men collude with pirates? And..." He swallowed, "Even if it is really Kong Zhen, then if we are like this now, aren't we falling into a trap?"
"Haha," Xu Zun smiled faintly, "Brother Shen, you think too simply! If it is really Kong Zhen, then even if we don't throw ourselves into a trap, we will never escape from her grasp.
"We have lost so many things along the way," Xu Zun said meaningfully, "If we can't get the truth again, we won't even be able to save our lives!"
"You...this..." Shen Xingran didn't understand what Xu Zun meant at all, and the look he looked at Xu Zun became increasingly unfamiliar.
Is this still the confused little paralyzed Xu who was bullied by his younger brothers and sisters since he was a child?
What on earth has he experienced that made him grow up so fast and so scary?
Or... he used to be very wise and foolish, but he was just pretending?
Just as he was wondering, Shen Xingran saw that the princess in purple clothes was also brought to the deck.
In addition to Ani, the Crown Princess was accompanied by the two Prince's maids.
Since the whereabouts of the prince's maids were unknown, Xu Zun arranged for the two prince's maids to serve the prince.
"Ah? Jiying, this..." Shen Xingran turned to Xu Zun, "You want the Crown Princess to disembark? Is it... too dangerous?"
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun hesitated for a moment and said to Shen Xingran, "Brother, I'm still saying the same thing, you are an important witness in this case, so..."
With that said, Xu Zun made a gesture towards the cabin, which meant that Shen Xingran would not be allowed to get off the ship.
"This..." Shen Xingran said with an angry face, "The Crown Princess and the maid are not important witnesses? Jiying, tell me honestly, do you doubt me?"
"No," Xu Zun said decisively, "Brother Shen, I am really doing this for your own good. Listen to me and stay on the ship!"
While speaking, Xu Zun winked at Hou Zhen, and Hou Zhen immediately came to Shen Xingran.
The meaning is obvious. If Shen Xingran refuses to obey, Hou Zhen will use force to suppress him.
"..." Shen Xingran gritted his teeth and glared at Xu Zun angrily. He was about to walk away, but thought of something, turned around and warned, "In this case, I will not force you to back off, but no matter what, you
Be sure to pay attention to safety!”
After saying that, Shen Xingran turned around and entered the cabin.
Looking at Shen Xingran's back, Xu Zun felt a familiar emotion in his heart. For some reason, Mr. Shen's kind face appeared in his mind again.
Time was tight and there was no room for Xu Zun to feel melancholy. When he turned around again, he found that the pirate ship had sailed into the Banshee Kingdom dock.
But I saw soldiers wearing silver helmets and armor everywhere on the pier of the Banshee Kingdom. The soldiers held spears and spears in their hands, as if they were fully armed and facing a powerful enemy...
