The location of the battle is close to the port of Azhen, and if there are survivors, they will definitely go straight to Azhen, so we almost non-stop and go straight to our destination.

When passing through Malacca, the surrounding boats gave way to us to make way for us to pass through. I also took it seriously, and I didn't have time to be polite to others, and I didn't think about anything else.

I have only one goal, to find Jimmy as much as I can. Little Pence is kind to me, and I naturally have to do my duty as a friend.

Almost storming into Azhen Harbor, I immediately ordered Mo to issue a bounty order to find Jimmy's clues.

Unexpectedly, my idea was immediately opposed, and it was Lakshin who opposed me.

"Sir, if you give a bounty like that, I'm sure you won't find Jimmy." Rakshen said.

I looked at him with a frown and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Lakshin touched the stubble under his chin with his hand and said with a smile: "You think, recently we set up an ambush to destroy the team that the Spaniards thought they were determined to win, and even completely smashed their plot to annex the South Seas. If we swapped places, we were the Spaniards who had failed, would we happily hand over the people that the other side was anxious to find? ”

Yes, after listening to Lakshen's statement, my heart suddenly became cold, followed by a burst of fear. If I really send out the bounty order regardless of it, I'm afraid that all I will get is Jimmy's head!

That would be contrary to my original intention. I want a living Jimmy, not a dead child.

"That's right, you have a point, in that case, then ......" I affirmed Rakshin's suggestion and turned to look at Mo: "Then this matter can only be handed over to you, Mo." ”

Mo immediately bowed his hand to me: "Sir, our new Iga forces have been operating here for more than ten years, although it is not deep-rooted, but it should not be a big problem to find someone. I've informed Ishikawa Goemon that as long as this child is still alive, we'll be able to find out his whereabouts! ”

After listening to Mo's words, my heart was slightly relieved.

Yes, Iga ninja, isn't what he's best at searching and intelligence?

Ishikawa Goemon originally came to Nanyang with the three sons of Hyakji, with Malacca as the center, radiating outward to all the surrounding port cities, and now it is also a peach and plum all over the world.

Like now, there is a clear target to find a child, as Mo said, as long as the child is alive, then it will definitely be found!

Now we just want to put enough lifeboats down that day, no, not enough anyway!

Alas! If only I had known......

What's the use of thinking about that? If I can be a prophet in everything, why should I go back to Daming to toss this experience?

Forget it, if you don't want to do this, let's find the child first!

Time is like the tap water that has turned on the faucet, and it is flowing without stopping.

Every day I am like an ant on a hot pot, although my face is calm as usual, my heart is churning indescribably.

Although I didn't know about it before, objectively speaking, the ship where the child was located was indeed sent to the bottom of the sea by me.

If Jimmy really has anything three long and two short...... I'm afraid I won't set foot in the South Seas again in my life! Even, withdraw from the South Seas forever, even if this piece of power is completely given to Xiao Pence as an apology, so what's the matter?

Nowadays, I have seen through the things outside my body such as money, and the only thing I can't let go of is these friends who have accompanied me from the beginning to the present.

In short, I can't let go of this love, in addition to this love, I have already calmly let go, what fame and fortune, what glory and wealth, are just passing clouds.

It was four days in a flash, and on the fourth day, Mo came back from outside.

I didn't go anywhere else, so I came to report the situation to me as soon as possible.

"Sir, Jimmy's clue has been found!" Mo said as soon as he came in.

It can be seen that Mo's face is dusty, and he must have been doing this with all his energy in the past few days.

Including the nine ghosts Masataka, Mo, and Su, who have been with me since the earliest, they are the people I trust the most, and there is no one, let alone Kite and Lan, who have become my lovers. Even the farthest sand, which stayed in the West to protect Youxi, is also loyal and reassuring.

So since Mo said that he had found it, he had found it, so I asked directly: "What about people?" ”

The voice was as steady as possible, but it was difficult to suppress the deepest eagerness in my heart.

"The man hasn't been found yet, but he has a clue, and Jimmy is still alive!" Mo took a sip and replied in a low voice.

"Tell me about the situation." I sat down and tried to calm myself down.

"Three days ago, in a small town called Tibasa, twenty nautical miles southeast of the port of Azhen, local residents met a group of people who looked like the remnants of the Spanish army. The number of people was about twenty, and all of them were injured. According to the locals, the morale of the people was very low, especially the middle-aged man in the lead, who seemed to be very angry and kept beating and abusing a little boy who was being held hostage by them. ”

I couldn't help but frown again, the joy of hearing that Jimmy was alive was diluted a lot.

is so angry and retaliating, I am afraid that the attack will be the most ruthless. Even if Jimmy was alive, it was unknown what would happen now.

I asked, "How can you be sure that kid is Jimmy?" ”

Mo replied seriously: "According to the local vigilantes, in the bar, the middle-aged man led by the Spaniards got drunk, scolded the child a few times, kicked the child twice, and said something like 'If it weren't for your father's value, I would have killed you a long time ago.'" Add to that factors like age and looks, so our people speculate that the little boy who was caught is exactly what we are looking for Jimmy. ”

"And then? What happened? I pressed again.

Mo thought for a moment before replying: "It is said that after drinking, several of the middle-aged man's subordinates seemed to have clashed with him, and they should have been dissatisfied with his command, blaming the middle-aged man's incompetence for this complete defeat, and in the end they parted unhappily. And Jimmy should still follow the middle-aged man and flee south. ”

"What about our people? Are there any clues that have been traced to them? I couldn't help but squeeze the teacup tightly, and I really sweated in my heart. What I was most afraid of was that Mo suddenly told me that Jimmy's body was found later, and my little heart might not be able to bear it!

"On track, sir. Those people were on foot, not running very far. Our horses are fast and there are many people, so as long as you find a little clue, you will definitely be able to save the child, please rest assured! ”

When I heard this, I was completely relieved. The nine ghosts are not there, and the most reassuring thing around me is Mo. While we were talking, Kite and Lan walked in, and after seeing Mo, they couldn't help but ask again, and Mo inevitably explained again.

In this way, time continued to move forward with its eternal pace, and I felt a little better in my heart. But it's impossible to say that you are completely relaxed, it's like having something on your head, trying to tell yourself that if you don't want to, if you don't want to, you won't want to, you must be fine. But inadvertently, this thing is like a small worm, quietly crawling up again.

is in response to the famous sentence: There is no way to eliminate this situation, so I frowned, but I was in my heart.

No matter what I do, I always have this matter in my heart, I wish it would give me an answer immediately, no matter what it is, I accept it, it is better than such a soft knife cutting flesh, and it will continue to be uncomfortable.

Finally, after breakfast on the morning of the seventh day, I received another report from Ink that Jimmy had been found, but the child was not under our control. The current situation is more complicated, and Mo suggested that I go there myself.

How complex can it be? From Azhen, we headed southwest, and our destination was a small village and town 150 nautical miles to the southeast, called "Geti", which is not found on a map.

Mo's people had already searched for this location at that time and found no clues, but one of the ninjas, who had been relieved of a serious illness during the search, and the medicine he carried with him had no effect, so he had to look around for a doctor to help treat it. Three searches and two searches, found Getty, and the doctor also found it.

In the process of treatment, the doctor said casually: "Two days ago, there were several Westerners, and one of them was sick, and it was also such a gastrointestinal disease. You young people eat and drink at will regardless of your body, and you don't know how to regret it until you get sick. ”

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and the shinobi immediately began to set the doctor's words, three sets and two sets, but I didn't expect that the Jimmy we were looking for was among this team!

According to the doctor, he was very strange when he saw these Spaniards, for none of the other Spaniards came and went with arrogance, but they were the only ones who were cautious, as if they were hiding from something or someone.

Especially when they still have a small child, the child is not very good-looking, and this doctor, in the spirit of the doctor's benevolent attitude, wanted to treat the child, but was categorically rejected by those Spaniards!

So the doctor deliberately paid attention to the movements of this group of people, and the child and this group of people were obviously not in the same group, and it seemed that they were taken hostage. The doctor, fearing trouble, whispered to the town magistrate. Unexpectedly, the administrator didn't dare to cause trouble at all, and the matter was suppressed, and it was not until the next person came to see the doctor that it came to light!

Where the child is now, it's in the town's inn!

The only problem was that the Spaniards were quite alert, and they discovered what they had found in our search, and they immediately took Jimmy into the cellar of the inn, and threatened to set fire to the barrels in the cellar if we rushed to arrest them, and everyone would be killed!

It was not difficult for Mo Xiang to take down these people, but the difficulty was not to hurt the child. So they tried a lot of ways, but they didn't work well.

It was not until last evening that the Spaniard, who had taken the lead, offered to speak to me face to face about it.

I was on my horse, very confused and puzzled.

Does he know me?

Who could he be?

"How old is that guy? What does it look like? I asked Mo Dao on my horse.

"In his forties, he looks dignified, and he should be a high-ranking officer." Mo replied dryly.

Fourth, how old are you? Have a dignified appearance? Spaniard? Know me?

Could it be...... Has he ever had a deep fate?
