One after another, the Banshee Kingdom warships were swallowed up in the gunfire, their hulls cracked, their masts overturned, and they gradually sank.
Screams for survival echoed throughout the harbor. Some people were on fire, some jumped from the deck into the sea, and some were still waving their swords randomly, fighting with the non-existent sea monster...
However, in the face of all this, the pirate ship where Xu Zun was on was completely silent, with no cheers, no shouts, and no noise.
The sailors mechanically loaded the shells, fired and fired. At the main helm, Xiao Zhennan controlled the hull to pass all enemy ships, ensuring that all enemy ships could be sunk.
On the deck, everyone stood around a corpse with extremely stiff expressions.
The body is naturally that of Prince Li Xun.
Originally, before boarding the ship, Zhao Yu had reminded Xu Zun not to leak the news of the prince's murder for the time being, and wait until after he went to sea.
However, Xu Zun was already numb and did not do anything to deal with it. As a result, everyone on the ship already knew the news of the prince's death.
At this moment, there were people surrounding him, and some were kneeling, especially Shen Xingran, who knelt down in front of Li Xun in pain, with a sad look on his face.
People's emotions were naturally extremely complicated, especially those who didn't understand the inside story. They thought it was the Banshee Kingdom that killed the prince, and therefore felt extremely angry.
However, those who know the inside story are not in a better mood.
No one knows what the prince's death means to them. They can't help but feel deeply worried about their future.
God bless, God bless...
Zhao Yu thought silently in his heart, hoping that the bloody killer who killed the prince was sent by the Queen Mother.
If the Queen Mother wants the Prince's life, that seems to be the best ending.
However, Zhao Yu was not a fool. He had already noticed the indescribable sadness on Xu Zun's face.
And through this sadness, Zhao Yu also understood Xu Zun's worries.
Yes, even if the female assassin with the bloody palm is really sent by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother really wants the Prince to die, will there definitely be a good ending for them?
That's...impossible!
How could the Queen Mother admit it?
No, not only could the Queen Mother not admit it, she would not even admit the fact that the Prince was guilty.
I'm afraid they will have to bear the final blame, right?
Master Xu...
Zhao Yu saw Xu Zun's helpless and numb look, and went up to comfort him with a few words.
But at this moment, Xu Zun came to Shen Xingran and said softly: "Brother Shen, come with me, I have something to say."
"oh?"
Shen Xingran was a little surprised at first, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and followed Xu Zun around the mast to the side of the deck.
This place is the separation area between the gun ports. There are escape boats hanging outside the railings, making it relatively quiet.
"Master Xu..."
Zhao Yu saw Shen Xingran following Xu Zun and wanted to follow him, but then he thought about it and seemed to realize something. He immediately came to the body and said to Jiang Hua and others:
"Okay, let's put the prince into the cabin quickly!"
"Yeah." Jiang Hua also felt something was wrong and quickly led people to move the body away.
At this moment, almost all the Banshee Kingdom's warships on the pier have lost their combat capabilities and are just waiting to be sunk.
"Brother Zhao," at this time, Han Feier came to Zhao Yu and said, "Can you ask Mr. Xu for permission, so that we can return!"
Zhao Yu glanced at where Xu Zun was, pondered for a few seconds and said, "Wait a moment! Sir, there are still some unresolved matters!"
"No way?" Huo Anu was puzzled, "If there's anything you have to do, can't you solve it while sailing the boat?"
As she said that, she strode towards where Xu Zun was, as if she wanted to ask Xu Zun personally.
"Hey," Zhao Yu fed her and said, "It's better... let me go! You go and see Ku Niang and the Crown Princess. Ani may need your help."
"Okay," Huo Anu nodded in agreement, "then please urge me to leave this hellish place this morning! Everyone wants to go home early!"
After saying that, Huo Anu turned around and went to the cabin.
Zhao Yu waited until Huo Anu entered, then called Xin Zhao over and gave instructions:
"Xin Zhao, you divide our knight friends into three teams. The first team is optimistic about Kong Zhen. This person is an important suspect. I don't trust him just with the guards.
"The other team is keeping an eye on those suspects and prisoners, especially the Crazy Sword Goddess," Zhao Yu warned. "Kuniang is injured. Once the Crazy Sword Goddess resumes her martial arts, no one on the ship can check her!"
"Yes!" Xin Zhao agreed without hesitation.
"In addition, send the remaining people to form a third team," Zhao Yu added, "ask them to patrol back and forth on the ship, and deal with any abnormality in time."
"Ah?" Zhao Xin finally heard the question and asked quickly, "Uncle, what do you mean?"
"Yes," Zhao Yu said, "There are spies on this ship! We have to do it!"
"Understood!" Zhao Xin knew that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately called the first-class warriors aside and began to assign tasks.
"Nvxia Han," Zhao Yu said to Han Feier again, "Let Master Xiao wait a little longer. I estimate that Master Xu's matter will be resolved soon."
"Oh..." Han Feier glanced at where Xu Zun was, naturally full of doubts. She didn't know what urgent matter Xu Zun had that prevented him from sailing.
At the same moment, Shen Xingran's excited voice came from behind the mast.
"Ji Ying, tell me quickly, how did the prince die?" Shen Xingran asked quickly, "Why is he in the Banshee Kingdom? And who killed him?"
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun said calmly with a calm face but deep melancholy in his eyes, "Prince Li Xun has personally admitted that he is the real culprit in the attack on our Daxuan Mission!"
"Ah?" Shen Xingran was shocked, "What did you say? Didn't you just say it was Kong Zhen?"
"The prince is the mastermind, and Kong Zhen is an accomplice," Xu Zun said. "Those who sank our Daxuan battleship were all our own people!"
"What? How...how is it possible?" Shen Xingran was confused, "One of our own? What is going on?"
"Of the four frigates, one has been bribed by the prince a long time ago," Xu Zun said. "After Heibo Yu spread the lemon mist and the Daxuan mission encountered the sea monster, it was that frigate that launched the attack, killing the other frigates and Tianfu Ju.
Hit by a ship!
"After that, they rescued the prince who fell into the water, and then hid in the Banshee Kingdom."
"Ah? Is there such a thing? This...can't be wrong, right?" Shen Xingran was surprised, "Why would the prince do this? What good will it do to him to attack his own people?"
After hearing Shen Xingran's question, Xu Zun was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Brother Shen, you don't know about the prince's cooperation with Xuanmen, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Xingran seemed to be shocked and was speechless.
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun stared at Shen Xingran and said word by word, "You are the prince's man!"
"I am... the prince's person?" Shen Xingran was startled and said, "That's right? I am the prince's person! Otherwise, why would I go to sea with the mission?"
"What I mean is," Xu Zun said, "you are also an important subordinate of the prince in implementing this plan. You are also one of the people who attacked the mission!!!"
