The black sails were furled and the pirate ship slowly docked.
The people on the pier had their hearts in their throats, even though someone had previously held a document to declare that this was a Daxuan official ship.
But looking at the old black ship with bullet marks and vicissitudes of life, no one dared to relax.
At this time, as a group of luan drove forward, everyone consciously stepped out of a passage.
Before the Luan Jia could stop, the female kingdom leader Kong Zhen climbed down from the Luan Jia in panic and looked towards the huge black ship.
There was an elusive light shining in her dark eyes.
oh……
When the soldiers saw Xu Zun wearing Daxuan official robes and many Daxuan sailors coming off the black ship, they were obviously relieved.
However, the female kingdom leader Kong Zhen squinted her eyes slightly, as if she was trying to think about something.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, alas..."
Unexpectedly, before Kong Zhen could think seriously, he was interrupted by Xu Zun's cry of mourning.
Only then did she realize that Xu Zun's hair was disheveled, his body was charred, and he was in an extremely miserable state.
Looking closer, I saw that Xu Zun's entourage, guards, and Daxuan sailors were all as if they had rolled out of a fire. They were all ashen and miserable.
this……
Kong Zhen was slightly startled, but Xu Zun was already staggering towards him.
Out of etiquette, Kong Zhen hurried forward and acted as if he wanted to help.
Naturally, Xu Zun could not touch the leader of the country, so he quickly came forward and saluted, while making a dejected look.
"Xu...Master Xu," Kong Zhen saw that a large piece of Xu Zun's hair was burned off, and he was immediately surprised, "This...what is going on? Where is your Daxuan battleship?"
"Oh! Don't mention it!" Xu Zun pretended to be injured and coughed deliberately, "We...we really encountered that sea monster!"
What!?
There were many people present who were proficient in Daxuan language, and they immediately exclaimed in disbelief.
"Ah?" Kong Zhen also looked shocked, "Really? Is there really a sea monster? You... you are..."
"We are no match for the Kraken at all," Xu Zun said quickly, "so we had no choice but to turn around and flee. In the end, we even set fire to the boat, and then we were lucky enough to escape death..."
"What?" Kong Zhen became more and more confused, "Set fire to the boat, how did you come back? Huh? Where did your boat come from?"
"Your Majesty, cough cough..." Xu Zun said painfully, "Many of our people died, and the remaining brothers were also injured. I hope, I hope... cough cough..."
"This is no problem. Treatment, treatment," Kong Zhen asked hurriedly, "But Mr. Xu, why did you come back on such a pirate ship? What happened?"
"Pirate ship? Alas!" Xu Zun lamented, "It's hard to explain in words! Your Majesty, in addition to this pirate ship, we have also made a great discovery. Behind the attack on our Daxuan Mission, I am afraid that besides the demon dragon, there are other things...
Others..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zun pretended to have pain in his heart and fell down at Kong Zhen's feet, clutching his chest.
"Xu...Master Xu..." Kong Zhen was so frightened that he no longer cared about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, and quickly reached out to help him, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Xu Zun pretended to hold on, and while Kong Zhen was helping him, he quickly whispered, "There are many people here, so go back to the palace quickly, I have something important to tell you! Oh, oops..."
oh?
Kong Zhen was stunned for a moment, realizing that Xu Zun might be pretending to be ill. He didn't answer his question directly, so he obviously had something to hide.
Thinking of this, she quickly ordered her subordinates:
"Here comes someone! Send Mr. Xu to the palace to recuperate quickly, and find the imperial doctor. Oh no," she looked at the embarrassed entourage behind Xu Zun, and changed her words, "Call all the doctors in the city and give them
Get treatment!"
"yes!"
After his subordinates received the order, a group of palace personnel immediately came forward, helped Xu Zun onto the chariot, and transported him to the palace.
As personal guards, Zhao Yu, Huo Anu and others naturally followed closely.
Just when Xu Zun was getting into the car, Kong Zhen suddenly saw a woman wearing purple clothes. At the signal of Miss Ani from Yuanzhou, she also got into the car.
"This..." She immediately saw that this woman was different and asked immediately, "Who is this?"
"Your Majesty," Zhao Yu hurriedly whispered his identity in Kong Zhen's ear, "this is the Crown Princess!"
"Ah!?" Kong Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, as if he was frightened and at a loss.
"Your Majesty," Xu Zunze said in the car, "Let's go to the palace first. You will know everything later!"
"Oh, okay," Kong Zhen breathed heavily and ordered to his subordinates, "Hurry into the palace and send it to Changle Hall. You must protect your safety!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, a group of silver-armored soldiers lined up beside the chariot to escort Xu Zun to the imperial city.
"Your Majesty," at this time, an official asked in the local language, "How should the remaining soldiers be placed?"
"Does this need to be said?" Kong Zhen said without thinking, "Let the doctor come over with medicine to treat them.
"In addition, send another team of silver-armored guards to blockade the pier, strictly... um..."
Unexpectedly, when she said this, Kong Zhen suddenly stared at the huge pirate ship and was stunned. Looking at the cannon muzzles set up on the ship's side, it seemed to remind her of something.
So, after weighing for a few seconds, she whispered to the official: "Send these injuries to the medical officer for treatment! The conditions there are better."
"Yes!" the official responded.
"Similarly, send two teams of silver-armored guards to follow," Kong Zhen said again, "Don't let them run around!"
"Two teams?" The official was surprised, "Look, these people are just wounded soldiers. I'm afraid there's no need for two teams of silver-armored guards, right?"
"Huh?" Kong Zhen glared at the official.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The official suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and quickly nodded in agreement...
…
The Changle Hall is the inner hall of the Banshee Palace. It is much smaller than the front hall and generally only receives the emperor's relatives and ministers.
The last time Xu Zun lived in the palace, Kong Zhen also met him here.
At this moment, a palace maid brought Xu Zun medicinal soup, and an old doctor with a Nanyang face was treating Xu Zun.
Xu Zun had no external injuries. The old doctor was so surprised that he had to check his pulse instead.
"Well..." the old lady doctor said in harsh Chinese dialect, "I have a little kidney deficiency..."
Hearing this, Zhao Yu beside him couldn't help but smile. Just as he was about to express his opinion, he saw torches leaping outside the palace. It was obvious that the female monarch had arrived.
At this moment, in addition to Xu Zun, there are also Ku Niang, Zhao Yu, Huo Anu, A Ni, Dai Long and other guards, as well as the Crown Princess and two maids.
They saw Kong Zhen almost jogging all the way to the hall with the sound of noisy footsteps.
Behind Kong Zhen were several officials from the Banshee Kingdom, and behind them was a group of palace guards wearing silver armor and swords hanging from their waists.
"Master Xu," Kong Zhen asked Xu Zun eagerly before he could sit still, "your soldiers have been arranged properly and have all been sent to the hospital for treatment!
"Is your injury not serious?"
"Yes!" Xu Zun nodded slightly and glanced at the old foreign doctor playfully.
"Go down!" Kong Zhen understood, and immediately dismissed the imperial doctor and maid, and then said to Xu Zun, "Don't worry, sir, the remaining people are all the confidants of the minority. It's okay for you to say so."
"Oh," Xu Zun glanced at the main hall and said, "Your Majesty, I have found out the real culprit behind the attack on the mission. It turns out that the demonic dragon was created by man!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Kong Zhen looked surprised and nervous as usual, and asked hurriedly, "Then who is it?"
"That's it..." Xu Zun stood up suddenly, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the pier outside the hall, "That's it..."
As a result, before Xu Zun could finish speaking, Kong Zhen, who had just sat down on the dragon chair, was suddenly tightened by someone behind him!
The man was ruthless and powerful. He strangled Kong Zhen's neck and lifted Kong Zhen up from the throne!
Oh oh oh...
The banshee officials present were shocked, and the silver-armored soldiers immediately drew out their sabers and rushed towards Kong Zhen as fast as possible.
"Anouche!"
A loud shout came from behind Kong Zhen, and with a flash of cold light, a sharp dagger was already pressed against Kong Zhen's chin.
"Don't move, otherwise you will see blood!!!"
ah……
The silver-armored soldiers were frightened and had to stop where they were. They finally saw clearly that the person holding Kong Zhen hostage was a tall Westerner with countless braids on his head. He was none other than Huo Anu!
At the same time, Xu Zun's arm turned back, pointed at Kong Zhen, and said faintly: "You know better than us who the real culprit is behind the scenes!"
