Chapter 82: The Truth Revealed (6)
At that time, Mai Lao did not land on the island, he stayed on the ship, he just told the general, asked him to take people up the mountain, find the entrance to the cave and come back to inform him, but things are not so simple, the original inhabitants of the island were originally just to live here, but after Zheng He died, their purpose was to protect the mausoleum.
When the Qing soldiers went to the island, these aborigines who were still wearing Ming Dynasty costumes were resolutely unwilling to let them land on the island, and the generals of the Qing soldiers were very annoyed by the resistance of these people, and he may not have been able to understand why there were so many people on this mysterious island, and they were all wearing Ming Dynasty costumes, since they dared to stop him from advancing, then he had to kill.
The two sides began a large-scale fight, but what the general didn't expect was that these people's combat effectiveness was very strong, almost on par with the Qing soldiers, the war lasted for a few days, basically both sides were defeated, and few of the Qing soldiers and aborigines survived, and the vast majority of them died directly in this war.
The rest of the living are all seriously injured, and they are alive in a few days, the whole island is full of corpses, there are dead people's corpses everywhere, and the blood has stained every qiē here red, and the once beautiful paradise seems to have become hell in these few days, so that people dare not look at it directly.
Since the beginning of the war, Mai Lao has not gotten off the ship, he has been observing with a telescope, he knows very well in his heart that the Taoist old man must also be on the island, and he also knows about his disappearance, so he does not dare to go to the island lightly, and what he is most worried about is the strength of the Taoist priest, both of them are immortal people, but if the strength of the Taoist priest is stronger than him, then this time he will definitely die, Mai Lao is very cautious, he does not dare to take risks, at that time, he does not seem to be as strong as now.
When the Qing generals saw that the general situation had gone, he asked to return immediately and remobilize the army, but how could Mai Lao let him go back? He wouldn't let this secret be known to outsiders, and from the moment they went to sea, he was ready to keep all these people shut.
And the best way to seal the mouth is to die, Mai Lao suddenly made a move, he killed all the Qing soldiers who survived, including the general, of course, and finally he left the island by boat alone, and the corpses of the general and several other people had already been thrown into the sea by him to feed the fish.
This is in response to the words of the old Taoist priest, the island that can be found, someone must have led them here, otherwise, it is impossible to find it, the Taoist priest has been watching the fight between the Qing soldiers and the aborigines on the mountain, he didn't help, he seemed to be waiting for something, but he didn't see the person he was waiting for.
It wasn't until after Mai Lao's ship left that he came down from the mountain, and then it was he who turned the entire island into a hell on earth, and used those dead souls to curse those who arrived here, which is why the island became so terrible after we landed on the island, and this is the root of the matter.
After Mai Lao returned, soon the Republic of China was over, the war has been going on, he never thought about going to sea again, the only hope is to find Zheng He's descendants, until the 80s after the founding of New China, he relied on various information sources to find the descendants of Zheng He's family, that is, Jenny's father, Jenny's father was already in the United States at that time, Mai Lao had money, so he relied on a strong money relationship, searched for it all over the world, and was finally caught by him.
After receiving the news, he immediately flew to the United States, and then through some means, he deliberately contacted Jenny's father, who actually did not know the secret behind this nautical chart, he just thought that there would be treasure behind this nautical chart.
But when he came into contact with Mai Lao, his mind changed, Mai Lao's insight and courage made his father admire him very much, the most important thing is that Mai Lao knew the secret behind this nautical chart, of course, Mai Lao did not tell him and Shibi about it, but just said that this was the secret about the disappearance of Emperor Jianwen.
No one will not be thrilled about this shocking 'secret', so at that moment Jenny's father decided to organize people to go to sea, and invited Mai Lao to go with him, of course Mai Lao would not refuse, he wanted this effect.
Jenny's father knew an American captain, the American captain found some people, and decided to go to sea to find the secret of Emperor Jianwen, and when he was about to leave, Mai Lao took a photo of them, and this photo is the group photo of the whole ship, but there is no Mai Lao, he is very smart, he will not leave any impact on himself, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, for Mai Lao's calmness and calmness, no one will doubt him anything.
They set out from the United States, all the way across the ocean, the first stop is the ice city, Mai Lao planned to find the queen's shipwreck directly, and then through the queen guò can find Emperor Jianwen along the way, but he didn't know that this place had become an ice city at that time, which was completely unexpected by him.
After he saw the environment here, he knew that it was not so easy at all, things had become complicated, and the next thing was very strange, just like when we first came to Ice City, the diary left on the fishing boat clearly recorded that the first thing that happened was the white wolf and the ice demon, attacking them.
Those evil spirits are not something that ordinary people can deal with, I deeply understand that if we were not tenacious enough, we would definitely die inside, and we would be lucky to be able to escape from the ice city alive.
Although Mai Lao is super strong, he alone can't save everyone at all, the most important thing is that their weapons are limited, except for pistols and spearguns, there are no more lethal weapons, everyone on the ship, including Jenny's father, died in this ice city, to be precise, he was killed by evil spirits, Mai Lao is really not a murderer.
This is the reason why we found the frozen fishing boat when we first arrived in Bingcheng, Mai Lao is still involved, it seems that everything he can't get rid of, it seems that since the Ming Dynasty, he has been brewing this shocking plan.
Mai Lao also barely escaped from the ice city, in his words, he was almost lost there, this encounter, so that Mai Lao is also very injured, he took the injured body, escaped from the ice city in a small boat, originally Jenny's father in the hand of the navigation chart is a complete, but in the fight with the white wolf, this navigation chart was lost, Mai Lao tried to find, but found nothing, no clues.
He returned to China after fleeing, and at the same time he also realized that without a strong teammate, he could not complete the mission by himself, and the nautical chart in Jenny's father's hand was gone, and if he wanted to find this final goal, he could only rely on another nautical chart in Zheng He's coffin, without which he would never find the location of Emperor Jianwen, let alone the mysterious Heshibi.
Then he began to prepare the next plan, which he had waited for more than twenty years to develop, until Jenny had grown up before he began to implement it.
He wants to lure Jenny to China, and to organize a huge team, take her to the sea to find, he relied on his memory, he drew a nautical chart by hand, just the first half of the nautical chart, he can't remember the back, he anonymously mailed this half of the nautical chart to Jenny, Jenny will naturally want to know his father's whereabouts after receiving it, the matter has been completely right, it seems that what Jenny said to me before is the truth, that is, the mysterious person Mai Lao, Jenny was brought to China from the United States to study, and when Jenny came to China, she brought Li Xin with her.
At the same time, in order to get close to her, Mai Lao became a professor at Peking University, and the two of them could be regarded as contacting, Jenny has been looking for the mysterious person who mailed him the nautical chart at Peking University, but she didn't expect that this mysterious person was hiding under her nose.
And then what happened, after we went to sea, I just couldn't figure out why he had to involve Jenny. He could have made his own fleet to go to sea, he had money, and he didn't need to take Jenny with him, there must be some secret in this.
"That's all I can say, I'll tell you, now... You can give me He's Bi, right? Mai Lao squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand.
"Don't worry, I'll give it to you, but I still have a few questions for you, and you have to answer me first." I took a few steps back and whispered.
Mai Lao's brows tightened, obviously impatient, "Say, what else do you want to know?" ”
"Were Martin and Shaoyu killed by you?" I stared into his eyes and said word by word.
Mai Laoxie smiled, "Even if it is, they are seriously injured, even if they don't die now, they will die sooner or later, I do this just to let them get rid as soon as possible." ”
It seems that Jiao Ba observed it very well, and it was really him who did it, "You bastard, you are simply not human, why are you doing this?" Jenny scolded viciously.
"With them, it will only be a burden, just help them solve it, don't blame me, they are too badly injured, no one can save them." Mai Lao said calmly.
But what he said is also true, even if he doesn't kill them, Martin and Shaoyu won't live long, but he does it, it's a bit too moral, maybe morality is not worth mentioning for him.
Jenny suddenly shed tears, it was that kind of silent tears, presumably her mood at the moment should be very complicated, "Li Xin, you are optimistic about Jenny." I replied, and continued, "Why do you have to bring Jenny to China, without her, wouldn't you have found this place too?" I squinted at him, was there a secret in this?
Mai Lao's face changed for a moment, but he immediately recovered, "There's no secret, I just hope... I hope to give Jenny some compensation, after all, I am also responsible for his father's death. He looks guilty, but can a person like him feel guilty? He's just a devil who kills people without blinking, and he must have pretended to have that expression.
"Compensation?" I sneered, "This time to go to sea is a life of nine deaths, we have died so many people, Jenny almost died in the ice city, is this what you call compensation, Mai Lao, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
