629 Chasing the murderer at sea

"General, Dongying's soldiers and horses have all been taken, but the third child of the Duan family has run away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhou Hao reported to Junsheng with a guilty face.

"Ran away? In which direction? ”

Junsheng was sitting on a chair, but when he heard Zhou Hao's report, he stood up suddenly.

"In the opposite direction of returning to Fuzhou, Zhu Fei and Wang Yun have already chased after them, and their subordinates have come back to report."

Zhou Hao said.

"Take me right away!"

Junsheng thought for a while, and then said.

"Yes."

Duan San is a very key figure, all the officials and soldiers on Dongying's side can escape, but Duan San cannot.

Because the Duan family has always held a secret in their hands.

More than 200 years ago, when it was still in the Great Qin Dynasty, the emperor was obsessed with immortality, and at that time, the people around him were flattering, and a Taoist priest surnamed Duan invited himself to go to sea to find the immortal dwelling place for the emperor.

At that time, the emperor of Great Qin believed in Daoist Duan, so he gave most of the treasury to the Taoist priest to take away, and also selected many boys and girls from the people.

Five large ships were loaded.

The national strength of the Qin State was even more prosperous than the current Great Qi, but due to the obsession of the emperor at that time, the treasury was empty, and the people were struggling to make a living, so there was the uprising.

A year after Daoist Duan left, the Qin State died, and a new state was established by a general at that time, the Yan State, and the Yan State only existed for a few decades, and was replaced by the Zhao family, which is now the royal family.

It has been more than 100 years since Daqi.

According to Junsheng's investigation of all parties last year, he summed up an amazing result with the emperor, that is, Daoist Duan finally settled in Dongying, and Prime Minister Duan's family is likely to be his descendants.

As for why Prime Minister Duan and his family wanted to return to Daqi, conduct scientific research and become a senior member, the biggest reason is that most of the things of the Qin State were left in a place by their ancestors, and they have not yet found a place.

The Duan family did everything possible to reach the highest position of power, and even rebelled, probably in order to enter the palace and find some things left by the Qin State back then.

The current imperial palace of Daqi has gone through three dynasties and has never changed, except for the necessary renovations.

As for why the Duan family took such a risk and chose to rebel into the palace, instead of choosing their own women to enter the palace or inserting secret lines into the palace like ordinary people, the emperor and Junsheng do not know.

Anyway, the Duan family has no other daughters except for Duan Yiyi's daughter, as for the installation of secret lines, it may be that the people of the Duan family do not trust the outside world!

This also makes sense, the second and third sons of the Duan family only learned about his family's rebellion last year, and they had always known about Prime Minister Duan and Duan Shangshu's father and son.

Prime Minister Duan also learned about his own family at the age of his eldest son.

It can be seen that the Duan family keeps this secret very tightly.

If it weren't for Duan Yiyi and Zhang Xianniang's argument against Wanniang, it is estimated that Junsheng and the emperor would not have found out so quickly, and the Duan family would not have left Duan Laosan alone.

The reason why Duan Laosan couldn't be let go was to get something in his hand about the treasury of the Qin State that Daoist Duan knew before.

These things can be dispensed with, but they cannot be allowed to flow into the hands of outsiders.

Therefore, I would rather kill Duan San than let him escape.

Junsheng and Zhou Hao rode their horses to the beach.

"Zhou Hao, you stay, I'll chase after you, the things on the island are almost handled, you arrange manpower, and kill those who don't surrender directly. Then send a message back to the emperor to explain the matter. ”

Before Junsheng got on the boat, he commanded.

"Yes, General!"

Zhou Hao replied.

On the way, he knew Junsheng's plan, and knew that it was useless for him to fight, so he had to let Junsheng go, and he stayed to help deal with the next matters.

Junsheng's boat had to be prepared with water and food for five days, and if he did not return to shore after three days, someone would be sent to meet him.

Zhu Fei and Wang Yun had already passed first, and the reason why Junsheng brought so much was because he was afraid that the two of them would not have enough things at that time.

No one would think that Duan San would run away, and he did this just in case.

However, they still underestimated Duan San.

Zhu Fei and Wang Yun were in the same boat, and the next day after they went out, they couldn't see the shadow of Duan San's boat.

And they drifted on the sea.

On the third day, Junsheng, who was in a hurry, finally appeared, which also made these two people breathe a sigh of relief, they were really afraid that they would starve to death in this vast sea.

After the three of them converged, Zhu Fei and Wang Yun got on Junsheng's boat, and their boat let it float away on its own.

It was only at this moment that the three of them realized the fact that they were lost at sea.

Do you go back, or keep chasing?

"General, since we can't find the direction, I think Duan San's turtle son will definitely not be able to find the direction either, he fled in a hurry, and there is no food in the boat, I guess, he must have starved to death at sea."

Wang Yun saw that Junsheng had been frowning and looking around, so he comforted him.

Junsheng was noncommittal.

"General, my subordinates also think that if we chase it like this, we may not be able to catch it, so why don't we make plans after we return to the island and are fully prepared?"

Zhu Fei also proposed.

At this time, it was already the evening of the third day, Junsheng looked into the distance, frowned, and said, "It's too late to return, hurry, hold the hull firmly." ”

I saw a black pressure in the distance.

Suddenly, the sea began to move, and the boat in which the three of them were located began to sway.

"Duan three turtle sons, you can't die well, Lao Tzu cursed you to be blown into the sea to feed the fish."

Wang Yun was so angry, when he cursed, the sea breeze poured straight into his mouth.

"Shut up, save some effort, there will definitely be a storm in a while, we don't know where it will be blown away, but you all remember, you must live! Put away some dry food for one person. ”

Junsheng said solemnly.

When he was in Fuzhou, he heard fishermen say that there would be storms on the sea, some would be fatal, and some would only be for a short time, at this time, Junsheng couldn't care about Duan San, he just hoped that there would be a storm that would not be fatal for a while, and then he and his two brothers around him could live.

Wang Yun and Zhu Fei took two hard cakes and put them in their arms.

"Quick, hold on to the hull."

Junsheng said suddenly.

Then the three of them lay down, and one of them found a place to get acquainted and hugged him.

"Woo... Woo..."

After some struggle, the wind finally stopped, and then the rain began again, and it was already dark.

The three of them didn't know where they were blown by the wind, but they were sure that they were not dead, their bodies were still soaked in the sea, and they were still holding the wind-blown hull of the boat in their arms.

They feel like their bodies are moving with the water.

I had been floating at sea for a few days before, and I was tired from exerting too much force just now. (To be continued.) )
