Chapter 295: A Glimmer of Life
On the blue sea, flocks of birds chirped happily.
This is their feast, their paradise. Countless dead fish float silently on the surface of the sea, densely packed with no end in sight.
The small ones are only inches, and the large ones are also several zhang long. Countless fish corpses, piled up into a sea of disgusting rotten corpses. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely the land of death, the sea of death, and for the seabirds, it is paradise.
A huge ship rode the wind and waves, rushing rapidly.
It was supposed to be a four-day trip, but Lu Sheng arrived in only two days.
Standing quietly at the bow of the boat, looking at the sea in front of him like a forbidden area of life.
Sea lions, seals, sharks, and countless other fish of unknown species are stewed in a pot of seafood.
Within a radius of five miles, there are floating corpses. But none of these corpses belonged to humans.
"It should be here...... Duan Fei looked solemnly at the corpse mountain and sea of blood in front of him, "How can there be so many fish dying here, and these fish ...... How does it feel ......"
"They were all burned to death!" Lu Sheng said lightly, only the fish that were burned to death would have that unique white eye.
"My lord, look, there's a flagpole here!" Lu Jian's voice landed, and his figure flashed and turned into a wild goose to jump off the boat, picked up the flagpole in the water and returned to the boat on tiptoe again.
"Is it General Kawamu?"
"I'll go down and take a look!" Lu Sheng said lightly, the voice landed, and the person had already crossed into the water.
The sea still has residual warmth, and jumping into the sea is as comfortable as entering a hot spring. If it weren't for the rich rancid smell wafting through the sea, it would have been a pleasant spring experience.
The water here is about 300 meters deep. Lu Sheng can breathe freely in the sea with the help of avoiding water, and naturally he can sink to the bottom of the sea in one breath.
At the bottom of the sea, Lu Sheng easily saw some traces of shipwrecks. Lu Sheng swam towards the shipwreck, and the edge of the sunken ship had traces of being cut off by the knife. But there were no bodies in the wreck, and none of these wrecks were the ships of the Yangtze River Sailors.
In the shipwreck, Lu Sheng could find the same flagpole as the one Lu Jian picked up. These shipwrecks are all warships of the Japanese Kingdom.
But since this is the place where the war took place, why ...... Since the Yangtze River Naval Division was completely annihilated, it doesn't matter if there is not a single corpse, there is not even a sunken ship or the wreckage of a warship?
Lu Sheng stood quietly at the bottom of the sea, tilting his head up, looking at more and more sea creatures gathering in the sea.
With so many fish dying here, it became a canteen for marine life. More fish will appear and devour the carcasses on the surface of the sea, and then the sea will still be blue and clear in a short time.
What caused the pot of stew in this sea area? Lu Sheng immediately remembered the fire attack, and it was a very domineering fire attack. The temperature of the flames boiled even the seawater in this area.
The peacock rises in the East Sea, the falling stars are like blue, and under the fire of the dark blue ghosts, the dry bones are all slag!
Only this can explain why there is not a single shipwreck of the Yangtze River Naval Division, and only this can explain why there is not a single corpse of a fallen soldier.
Because, they have all been burned to ashes.
However, it is one thing to understand that it is the deep blue war, and it is another thing to prove that it is the deep blue war. From a legal point of view, it should be Lu Sheng who wants to prove that it was the deep blue war that destroyed the Yangtze River Water Division.
But how to prove it?
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Sheng boiled the surrounding sea water after ingesting the blood Bodhi, and a similar scene occurred, no one would be able to believe that the fish corpse on the sea surface was formed by the war boiling the sea water.
Moreover, the evidence in front of me cannot be preserved until tomorrow, and the various sea creatures that rushed to the sea will not take a day, so many corpses on the sea will be swallowed up.
Lu Sheng also couldn't prove that the Wa Kingdom did not have a formation similar to the deep blue war. After all, everyone in the Deep Blue Navy has a detailed place to go, and no one in the Deep Blue Navy has been decided by the military department outside the establishment.
"No!" Suddenly, Lu Sheng thought of a possibility, but this possibility made Lu Sheng's heart ache like a knife, and he was even a little reluctant to think about it.
"Deep Blue War Fire is not the same as Deep Blue Navy ......" Lu Sheng's eyes swept over these undersea warships, but his heart trembled violently at this moment.
"Beikanhou will not be ...... Shouldn't he do it......" Lu Sheng kept trying to convince himself in his heart. However, the more I felt that I should not think about it, the more I felt that it was the most likely.
The experience of two lifetimes taught him that the moral bottom line of a criminal must not be overestimated. Even if it seems unbelievable to normal people, in the eyes of criminals, maybe this is how it should be.
Beikanhou has been stubbornly guarding the deep blue sea formation for decades, and in the face of such suppression from the imperial court, he has not handed over the formation map, will he hand over the formation map to the Wa Kingdom?
Logically, it shouldn't. If it was handed over to the Japanese state, then why was it unwilling to be handed over to the imperial court back then? If it was handed over to the imperial court back then, how could the deep blue sea be dismissed? How could the Zhang family be suppressed?
However, the situation is no longer the case. If Lu Sheng stood on the side of Beikanhou and thought about it, he was horrified to find that it was most beneficial for him to hand over the Deep Blue Sea Array Diagram to the Wa Kingdom.
If Beikanhou relents now and hands over the formation, not only will he not be able to regain his grace, but he may even discard the hole cards that saved his life in the end.
But if it is handed over to the Wa State, then it will inevitably strengthen the strength of the Wa State's sailors, and it will be able to pose a fatal threat to Dayu at that time. Moreover, with this as a vote, the Zhang family can enjoy the highest glory in the Wa Kingdom.
Compared with the supreme glory of Dayu's exclusion and the Wa Kingdom, Beikanhou is very likely to choose so.
Moreover, Boss Xue has already cut off all the connections with the one in the palace. If it was really done by Yu Guifei and the Deep Blue Navy, then there was no need for them to take this risk at all.
Plus the Miyamoto Sword Master I met before...... The total clues are connected, and a mastermind behind the scenes, which is diametrically opposed to the previous speculation, has emerged.
"Is it really behind this...... If the Wa State has already obtained the Deep Blue Sea Array, and if the Beikan Marquis has already taken refuge in the Wa State, then it is reasonable to apply all the evidence chains to the Wa State......
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng's heart became a little confused.
The sea water gradually became cool, and in the deep sea, a trace of coolness washed Lu Sheng's heart.
Who is the real mastermind behind the scenes, Lu Sheng needs to calm down and think about it. Two completely different answers appeared in Lu Sheng's heart, and each of the two answers was quite possible but contradictory at the same time.
Lu Sheng put this question behind him for the time being, and what he was most concerned about now was ...... Is Shen Ling really dead?
In my mind, a picture appeared. Blue flames surrounded all around, and the flames surrounded the Yangtze River sailors, and all the warships were reduced to ashes in the flames. And the sea water under the ship also became hot under the high temperature.
Whether the soldiers abandoned the ship and jumped into the sea, or stayed on the ship, they could not escape death...... If you put yourself in your shoes, how can Lu Sheng escape when faced with such a situation?
In an instant, Lu Sheng's eyes lit up.
I can live!
If you change to anyone else, you won't be able to live, but only Shen Ling and yourself can live...... Even, a thousand Xuantianwei around Shen Ling could survive......
In such a situation, all you have to do is jump into the water. Although the sea is boiling, for people with profound internal strength, there is still a certain ability to resist in the boiling water.
And the deeper you go to the sea, the water temperature drops dramatically. And Shen Ling, who has also cultivated the trick of avoiding water, should be able to easily hide in the deep sea. Moreover, Lu Sheng knew that since he got the water avoidance technique, Shen Ling had popularized the water avoidance trick as Xuan Tianwei's survival method in Xuan Tianwei.
Maybe the cultivation of a thousand Xuan Tianwei is not profound enough to stay underwater for a long time like Lu Sheng. But even if you can only stay for an hour, you can easily avoid this killing opportunity.
But...... If Shen Ling hadn't died, why hadn't he been summoned back, why was there a military report that a thousand Xuantianwei and Shen Ling had been killed?
If it was just the Deep Blue War, Shen Ling and the Thousand Xuantian Guards had a great chance of survival. However, if it is not only the deep blue war, there are also many masters of the Japanese country...... That would be the exact opposite.
But no matter what, this result of being killed in battle still has a glimmer of life in Lu Sheng's heart.
Surfacing, Lu Sheng jumped onto the boat, and the corpse mountain and sea of blood were undulating. More and more fish and birds gathered for this carnival feast.
"Brother Lu, how is the situation under the sea......? Is he really dead?" Duan Fei asked urgently.
"There are more than a dozen shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea, all of them are warships of the Japanese Kingdom, and none of them are Yangtze River sailors. Lu Sheng's words made Duan Fei's heart sink suddenly.
"As for whether Shen Ling died in battle, I don't dare to make a conclusion. All I can say is that if you put yourself in his shoes, he should have a chance to live. But after all, I didn't see what the battlefield was like.
The tide of battle is fast-moving, and anything can happen. Therefore, we can only pray that Shen Ling can escape from a glimmer of life. ”
"Shizi will be fine, I believe he must still be alive. ”
"I also believe it! Set sail and return to Tongnanfu......! It's far from over. ”
If worrying is useless, then Lu Sheng will calm down as soon as possible and face the current situation with the most rational thinking.
It was a brand-new hot day, even if there was not a single dark cloud in the sky, but the people of the capital sincerely felt the terrible pressure of a black cloud pressing down on the city.
No one knew what was happening, but they could see that the gentlemen who had been wandering the streets were gone, and the city guards standing guard on the city walls had their faces tied to show Sensen's murderous intent.
The Marquis of Kuaima almost rushed into the capital to send an eight-hundred-mile expeditious, and the entire sky over the capital was shrouded in a smell of gunpowder of war.
Ji Zheng stepped into the harem with a gloomy face, and the palace ladies and eunuchs knelt down and saluted from afar.
They have been in the palace for so many years, and they have never seen such a terrifying face of the emperor. The emperor has always been known as the benevolent monarch and the holy monarch, and he has always been kind and pleasant to the civil and military officials or the slaves and maids of his subordinates.
But today, the emperor's face is like an enraged lion, and the suppressed majesty is like an oncoming wind.
