Chapter 289: Mutation
After hearing Xu Zun's words, Huo Anu and Ani finally retracted their thoughts and fell into deep thought.
It was Zhao Yu who reacted the fastest, and immediately admired and said: "It's still adults who think deeply, we really haven't thought of this layer."
"Yes, if the prince has been attacked and killed and will never come back, then there is no need for them to kill again!"
"The reason why we want to kill the mouth," Huo Anu continued, "is that they don't want us to send someone to find it, because we really have a chance of finding the prince!" ”
"So......" Ani watched her surroundings vigilantly, "If Lord Xu guessed correctly, there must be a killer ambush on this Yongming Pier, right?"
"If they see the prince returning, they will do it immediately?"
"Perhaps," Huo Anu speculated, "the fishing boat hiding in the offshore waters, or the survivor should have died in Yongming Harbor, not in the open sea."
"Now you know...... Zhao Yu frowned deeply, "How dangerous it is for us to go to sea to find the prince!" ”
"But......" Huo Anu wondered, "who is the person who doesn't want the prince to come back?" Isn't it the Queen Mother? ”
"Alas, tiger poison does not eat children," Zhao Yu said, "How can I say that the crown prince is also the queen mother's own grandson, and the only grandson, how can she do so desperately?" ”
"Who could that be?" Huo Anu was even more puzzled, "Could it be that those ill-intentioned imperial uncles?" If the crown prince dies, it is possible that the throne will pass to them? ”
"That doesn't make sense," Zhao Yu pondered...... "First, the Heavenly Tribulation Incident has already killed the most powerful princes!"
"Second, even if the crown prince dies in the East China Sea, the emperor is still screaming, it is not difficult to have a few more, right?"
"That's even weirder." Huo Anu shook her head again and again, she couldn't think of anyone else.
And this question, Xu Zun has thought about it countless times before.
If there is anyone else, I am afraid that there is only the second prince Li Yi, and the princess Ronghua!
But...... As we all know, the second prince Li Yi is a fool, living deep in the palace and never seen by outsiders.
Therefore, it seems that there is only one and only answer left for this multiple-choice question.
Princess Ronghua has a deep city mansion, and she also has connections in the court, and she is also appreciated by the Queen Mother. She is the only one who has both motivation and strength.
However, if you consider it comprehensively, Xu Zun still doesn't feel like Princess Ronghua did it.
Because...... The timing is not right!
The attack on the crown prince was at least a little over a month ago, and at that time, no one knew that a catastrophe would occur.
So......
As Zhao Yu said just now, it is too risky for Princess Ronghua to be in a hurry to make a move on the prince.
After all, the emperor is still there, and he can give birth, so what's the use of you killing a prince?
So, until the end, Xu Zun couldn't guess what happened when the prince was attacked?
If it was just a simple attack at sea, encountering pirates and the like, then there should not be a survivor being wiped out.
Xu Zun knew that this matter was different from solving the case in the past, not only did there be no clues, but it would take time to go back and forth to the sea, so he needed to be patient enough......
In the end, Xu Zun decided to send someone to inquire at Yongming Wharf tomorrow to see if he could find out any news.
Now that the time to go to sea has been booked, whether there is new news or not, you must go to sea the day after tomorrow.
However, despite the complexity of the situation, it did not seem to affect the mood of the two beauties, and they quickly turned their attention back to those novelty goods.
In their opinion, Xu Zun will definitely be able to see the sunrise through the clouds and find out the final truth. And, instead of worrying, the two were looking forward to the upcoming voyage.
Only Zhao Yu shook his head silently, he had seen the wind and waves and knew the horror of the sea.
I have to say that although the market of Yongming Water City is much smaller than that of Shangyuan City, it is unique and distinctive.
In addition to the small goods decorated with shells and conchs, there are also many seafood snacks, and even seafood barbecue, the oysters grilled by the vendors suddenly made Xu Zun feel very kind.
So, he led a few people to one of the barbecue stalls and ordered a few seafood barbecues and side dishes.
The location of the barbecue stall is excellent, the ground is high, sitting on the barbecue stall, you can overlook the whole Mingzhou City on one side, and you can see the whole sea on the other side.
Of course, it's nighttime and all you can hear is the sound of the waves.
Several people sat down around the table, and the two ladies smelled the seafood and had a great appetite, looking forward to it.
"Hehe......" Zhao Yu took out the wine gourd from his arms, "At this time, add a little wine, isn't it more comfortable!" ”
"Very good, very good," Huo Anu rejoiced, and hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have a cup?" ”
"Huh?" The stall owner was looking at Huo Anu and Ani in a daze, and when he was asked, he suddenly lost his mind, and said after a while, "No, no, wait a minute, I'll let my mother-in-law ask for it later." ”
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but peek at the two of them, obviously he had never seen a beautiful woman before.
However, the stall owner is not stupid, and when he looks at the dress of these people, he knows that they are all from the rivers and lakes, and they must not be easy to mess with.
So, he quickly withdrew his gaze, honestly grilled the seafood, and in a short time baked a plate of oysters.
Accompanied by oysters, the sauce was also served, which attracted Xu Zun and others to salivate, and they were about to feast.
Huo Anu was even more impatient, and actually snatched Zhao Yu's wine jug and took a sip with his neck back.
"Huh? You ......" Zhao Yu was helpless, "You are very anxious, drink less, I don't have enough ......"
Zhao Yu was grabbing wine with Huo Anu, and Ani had already picked up a piece of oyster and stuffed it into her mouth.
However, before Ani could chew, she suddenly pointed to the sea in the distance and said, "Huh? You see...... It seems that there are ships on the sea! ”
Xu Zun turned his head to look, but saw a little fire coming from the sea, and sure enough, a ship was coming.
However, the port below is Sun Life, and it is not uncommon for ships to have them.
However, when Xu Zun retracted his gaze, he saw a person on the opposite stall at a glance.
It was a man dressed like a master, wearing a square hat on his head and a mustache.
Opposite is a noodle stall, the man picked up the hot noodles with chopsticks, and was about to eat, and he looked at Xu Zun better.
Ay!!?
With just one glance, Xu Zun felt that this person was quite familiar, and it seemed to be an old man......
"Lord Xu......" However, at this moment, Ani chewed the oyster in her mouth, stretched out her hand and pointed to the sky and asked, "What do you see is that?" Is it popular? ”
Since they were all in the same direction, Xu Zun first looked in the direction that Ani was pointing, but when he saw that in mid-air facing the sea, a fireball suddenly appeared!
This......
Although his eyes had already caught the fireball, Xu Zun couldn't help but glance at the person opposite again.
It would have been fine if the person on the other side also turned his head to look at the fireball, but unexpectedly, that person was still staring at him intently!
I Nima!!
Xu Zun suddenly recognized this person, stood up on the ground, pointed at this person and shouted, "Wang Shuncai!! ”
The man on the other side saw Xu Zun stand up, turned around, and fled towards the market below!
"What?" Zhao Yu and the others hurriedly got up and asked, "Who!? ”
"Quick!" Xu Zun pointed to the man's back and shouted, "Catch him quickly, he is Wang Shuncai!" ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yu was startled, hurriedly flew forward, and chased after him.
"Wouldn't it? What a coincidence! Huo Anu also recognized Wang Shuncai, and immediately grabbed the wine jug, hugged the iron umbrella, and chased after him!
"Wang Shuncai?" Naturally, Ani didn't recognize it and asked, "Who is Wang Shuncai?" ”
As a result, as soon as Ani's words fell, she saw that the fireball in mid-air was getting bigger and bigger, and finally landed on the east side of the market!
Rumble......
With a bang, the fireball instantly exploded in the crowd......
