528. Suspicion

What do they want to say? I was full of doubts.

Don't...... They did the same worst-case scenario as me?

If I could, I really didn't want to think in that direction, after all......

"Sir, I hope I'm too worried, but I have to warn you that this matter doesn't seem so simple!" Laksin hesitated.

"Hmmm! You have a point. I picked up the teacup and took a sip: "The more you think about it, the better." It is better to deny everything beforehand than to die in hindsight. ”

Lakshen glanced at Zheng Shibiao next to him, and turned back to me and said, "I don't know what Shibiao found, I was thinking - this incident is really too coincidental!" What a coincidence! ”

"You mean...... This whole thing? I smiled and whispered.

"Yes! Sir, you see, before we went to sea in the Ming Dynasty, we were told that there was a situation in the new Da* land. Why is he telling you? I mean, after all, the new big * Lu is not just our family, why does he just tell you? Lakshin's spearhead was directed at Burns Jr., and the meaning was clear.

"Why would he do that? Have you thought about it? I asked.

"Of course, if it's really him, then he must have something in mind!" Lakshin seemed to be a little reluctant to speak.

I didn't make a sound, in fact, I had this suspicion before, but after all...... After all, Pence Jr. has been a friend of mine for many years, and I don't want to believe that he would really do such a thing.

"Could it be someone else? What about the remnants of the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, or the rest of the Spaniards? Kite suddenly asked.

When we first came to Nanyang, the first person we knew was Xiao Pence, after so many years, why did he make such a choice today?

Of course, there is a possibility. But if we think about it from this point of view, then we have completely lost our direction, and it doesn't seem to make sense logically. Rakshin replied.

Is that really the case? I groaned, my mind swirling over and over again. They have a point, but I really don't want to believe such cruel truths if it were possible.

Seeing me, I suddenly remembered something, turned to Zheng Shibiao and asked, "Shibiao, why did you suddenly stop me?" You don't know Pence Jr., do you? ”

Zheng Shibiao raised his tanned but still childish little face, and said very seriously: "Sir, I have been observing the hydrology on the lookout during this time, and I have found a strange situation!"

"The Lookout? What did you find? I asked.

"I found ...... Someone seems to be following us, sir. When Zheng Shibiao replied, his expression was very serious.

"I have seen a few times that our fleet is followed by a merchant ship, but they all thought it was a passing merchant ship. But since yesterday, I have found out that this is not the case, sir, someone is following us! ”

"Stalking us? How did you find out? I asked.

"It's the same ships that are following us! Sir, I can see that they take turns keeping an eye on us! It must be organized! And you told me that if a ship has more than a certain number of guns, then it is a battleship! Those who are following us are warships! Zheng Shibiao said a lot in one breath, which made the people next to him alert.

"Why didn't you say it sooner if you found out?" Laxon asked suddenly.

"I ...... I wasn't sure at the time! It wasn't until Mr. Fang Cai said that he was going to find Xiao He Peng and He Si, probably he was a big person, that I suddenly felt that something was wrong! Officially replied.

"What's wrong?" The kite patted Zheng Shibiao's head lightly, smiled and said, "Shibiao has learned to use his brain, this is really good news!"

Zheng Shibiao's face flushed embarrassedly, scratched his head and said, "Mr. said, how much ability and how much to do." Who else has the ability to follow us for a long time in this South Sea, except for the big man this gentleman said? ”

Zheng Shibiao is not very old, but he seems very calm and sophisticated when he says this.

For a while, I even had a strange feeling in my heart - this child's future is limitless! I want to train him well, so that he is worthy of the hero's grandfather and the expectations I expect from him!

"Not bad! What you say makes a lot of sense. But if you think wrongly, the long-stable Nanyang will be in chaos again, so there must be conclusive evidence to make this judgment. "I still can't connect the little Pence who has helped me so many times with this incident, unless ......

"Unless he deliberately tells us the news of Xinda*Lu, the purpose is to divert the tiger from the mountain and lure us far away, so that he can make a move on Nanyang!" Hua Mei and Xiao Pence are not familiar with each other, so naturally they said this without any psychological pressure.

"That's only half the logic." I didn't refute her, but followed this logic and asked: "Then he doesn't need to help me get out of Daming, just let me struggle there, it's better to die in Daming, isn't it better?"

Hua Mei couldn't answer my question, she shrugged her shoulders, shook her head and smiled: "I haven't figured out this point, why did he make such a choice, but I think there must be a reason!"

The room fell silent again, and everyone was racking their brains, when suddenly Adicon spoke: "Captain, I have some considerations."

I knew that Adicon never spoke easily, but every time he opened his mouth, he made a big discovery, so I looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

"Ever since we defeated the Spanish Armada in the English Channel, the empire on which the sun never sets has lost its majesty, and it no longer has the ability to control the world." Adicon said this, but suddenly stopped talking, but looked at me, hoping that I understood what he meant.

"So Pence Jr. is planning to break away from Spain and set his own door here? That's why he deliberately lured me to fight with the Spanish navy in the new continent, so that he could take advantage of the fisherman's profits and take the opportunity to dominate the South Seas! Is that right? I chuckled.

"Exactly!" Adicon replied, "If this logic is followed, then all the problems can be explained smoothly, and the only thing that is difficult to accept is probably your friendship with Burns Jr."

"yes, friendship." I suddenly felt a little tired. I've always trusted Pence Jr., but the reality of the day has forced me to think more unless there's something else possible.

"Maybe that's the truth, but I'd rather believe there are other reasons for it." I sighed softly, "If Burns Jr. had been calculating me all the time, he would have had to play this game of chess from years ago!" I...... Still don't believe it! ”

After saying this, I was actually quite depressed. No one wants to believe that their friends would betray themselves and stab themselves in the back like this.

Hua Mei gently held my hand and said in a low voice: "Qilan, I know that you value love and righteousness, and I don't want all this to be true, but ...... But at present, no one else in Nanyang has the ability to do this, so this is indeed the greatest possibility that we must face! ”

"Alas! I know. I closed my eyes and gently pinched the Jing Ming acupoint with the second finger of my right hand, and spoke very slowly: "I think I must have a way to find out these problems." As for after finding out the truth...... I have a solution to these problems, and I don't give up! ”

At the end of the day, my voice became unequivocal, and no one could tolerate betrayal, not even I. Even because of the betrayal of Zhu Yijun, the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it was even more difficult for me to accept the possible betrayal.

"If he really wants to do this, then I will make him worse than dead!" In the last sentence, my voice has returned to clarity.

It sounds like I've calmed down, but those who really know me know that the pain in my heart has also reached its peak!

"I'll find out, sir." The kite gently took my hand and whispered, "Maybe it's not as bad as we think, after all, before we find out the truth, everything we do is just inference, not counting."

"Hmmm! I know. I replied softly, "So the priority now is to find out the truth about this." Only by finding out these can I go to Xinda* with peace of mind! ”

This is the end of the inference for the Nanyang incident, for no other possibility can be imagined.

Of course, we also discussed whether there is a possibility of a resurgence of the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, but unfortunately, it does not make logical sense.

Uncle Ye also said that the situation has been normal for so many years, and since the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce was eliminated, they have never found the shadow of those guys again, so this possibility has been collectively denied.

In that case, it remains only to leave the last possibility just discussed - there is a problem with Pence Jr.!

Now that you have a clear goal, it's easy to do. Let the others go back to rest, and I, along with Adicon, Hua Mei, Kite, Lakshen, Mo, and Zheng Shibiao, who is a small ghost, will stay to study the way to find out the truth.

They said a lot, and I thought a lot. Eventually, we decided on what we thought was the most reliable solution, and we decided to implement it immediately.

Nothing happened that night, and the next day, the third day. This shattered the glasses of those guys waiting to see the excitement in the outside world.

I thought that with my arrival, Nanyang would set off another bloody storm, but who would have thought that things would develop in a direction that no one could understand?

But who cares what they think, something happens quietly without the outside world knowing.

On the morning of the fourth day, the Port of Malacca suddenly broke out with a news that shocked everyone-the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce sold all its assets!

Yes, sold without hesitation! It is said that he took over a mysterious force in the port of Malacca, and he also took over a third of the fleet of the Blade Sea!

Is this about to change? Everyone was dumbfounded. Is this really the sea of blades - the indomitable sea of blades?
