Chapter 12: Clues
Looking at the man holding the sword in front of him, he spoke so lightly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe five pirates present all felt a hint of fear.
In fact, they are not as strong in martial arts as rumored. They were called pirates by the name of the Central Plains Village, although it was true that many of them were cultivators. But most people, it's just that their fists and feet are more powerful than ordinary people, and their hearts are more ruthless than ordinary people.
At this time, these five pirates with open breasts and big waists and round waists. It's those who are ruthless, but they don't know martial arts.
Therefore, when they meet a real master, it is inevitable that they will show a look of fear.
"It's... This.. This.. Swordsman... The little one has eyes and doesn't know Tarzan... It's all our boss asking us to do... In fact, we have long wanted to return to the imperial court...". One of the pirates saw that the other person's tone seemed to be seeking revenge, so they all spoke up, shirking their responsibilities.
"Well, you need not be afraid. I just want to ask some questions, and if your answers are satisfactory to me, I will let you go." Shi Wuwei said in a deep voice.
"Great .. Swordsman.. If you have any questions, I'll .. I'm going to know everything...".
"Yes, hero, take our lives, hero."
Compared to the thief who was still thinking about his life before, the other people simply begged for mercy and did not want to die.
Seeing this, Shi Wuwei didn't say much, but said directly in a cold voice, "Do you know who is the saint today?" ”。
"Great, hero... This is the saint of today. He is the fourth son of Emperor Taizu... Yanwang Palace... Your Highness".
The pirate at the head didn't know why he was asking such a question, or whether his answer would satisfy him. Therefore, he also replied tremblingly.
"Yes, that's good. Now that you know the name of the Holy One, have you ever heard of or seen a large number of people from the Central Plains fleeing to the South Seas after the Holy One ascended the throne? ”。
Shi Wuwei asked very vaguely, he didn't seem to let these people know his purpose.
"Great .. A large number of Central Plains people? ”。
After thinking about it carefully, the pirate who replied finally seemed to remember something, and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, yes, my boss said that two years ago, there were many strange fleets sailing to the ocean. But where exactly it went, the small ones are not clear."
"Your boss?". Shi Wuwei pondered softly.
"Our boss, just, is on another mountain, the top of the mountain... The pirate also knew that his words would cause dissatisfaction among the other party. Because such a rhetoric is tantamount to asking the other party to find their boss, and how can the other party do this thing.
So, he hurriedly took over and continued, "I don't know if the hero wants to find someone, or to ask about something?" The small ones have been mixed up in the sea areas in this area for a while, and if the heroes want to find someone to ask about something, the small one can be regarded as knowing something."
"Okay, then let me ask you, did you ever see a middle-aged man named Feng Tiangang fleeing overseas with a large number of people two years ago?" Shi Wuwei said in a cold voice like righteous words.
However, after Shi Wuwei said this. The group of pirates in front of them were all talking softly from ear to ear.
And it wasn't until a moment later that the pirate who had replied before cautiously smiled and said, "Great. Swordsman... I also asked the brethren ... I... We do .. Haven't heard of... Feng Tiangang's name? …”。
When he looked at the people in front of him who were trembling uncontrollably, Shi Wuwei also felt funny in his heart.
Because of this Feng Tiangang's name, it was just something he made up casually. They haven't heard of it, and it's natural.
"Great .. Swordsman... Why don't you ask more small things... As long as the brothers know, they will know everything about heroes!! ”。
At this time, the pirate was deeply afraid that his failure to answer the other party's question would cause the other party's displeasure, so he moved to kill. Therefore, their legs are almost faintly trembling.
However, for the attitude of these pirates, Shi Wuwei said in a deep voice that was full of care, "Let's go." But remember not to do evil on the coast in the future, otherwise, the next time I see you, you will not be as lucky as you are today."
"What... Heroes let us go".
"Really? … Really let us go? ”。
"It's true... Hurry up and go, thank you for the grace of not killing".
"Thank you for the grace of not killing, I will definitely change my evil and return to the right in the future, and I will no longer do evil..... ”。
When these pirates saw that the other party really let them go, they each thanked Shi Wuwei happily, and then left quickly.
And Shi Wuwei also kept his promise and did not kill them.
He has already got the answer he wants, and the other party has already said the answer he wants.
"Two years ago, there were a lot of strange fleets, sailing to the ocean?".
At this time, the pirates had disappeared into the woods in front of them. But in Shi Wuwei's mouth, he was still repeating what the other party had just said.
Looking at the senior brother's expression, Mu Yiyi also frowned, slowly came to the senior brother's side, and said suspiciously, "Senior brother, do you think the other party is lying?" ”。
"Probably not. Moreover, the other party lives overseas all the year round, so he should be familiar with the ships that come and go. As for whether the strange fleet they are talking about is really the first emperor, it needs to be further explored."
At this moment, Shi Wuwei's face was much more cheerful.
After all, after knowing that his goal was one step closer, he also felt that everything he did was not meaningless.
However, when Mu Yiyi saw the state of his senior brother one by one, the sadness between his eyebrows was a little deeper...
However, just as Shi Wuwei was about to set off again, five heart-rending cries came from the depths of the woods in front of him.
These cries sounded painful and sharp, like the cries of a dying person in front of him.
And Shi Wuwei knew that the owner of these cries was still talking to him just a moment ago.
At this time, Mu Yiyi, after hearing these calls, finally realized that this matter was not good.
Because this island is the base camp of these pirates, it stands to reason that they should not be killed. And even if the Ming army discovered the pirates, Lord Zheng had already ordered to catch them alive as much as possible.
Therefore, there may be only one remaining possibility.
"Senior brother, they're here!". Mu Yiyi said softly.
At this moment, she was taking a step towards the woods in front of her. Standing side by side with his brother.
She wasn't afraid, and she had no reason to be afraid.
However, just after Ki Ichi took a step forward. In the depths of the dimly lit woods ahead, a figure had indeed stepped out as she had expected.
One by one, the two of them are quite familiar figures......
