Corsair.

Inside a dim and damp cabin.

The rat creaked through somewhere on the ground, and then into Xu Zun's ears was the sobbing sound of a woman.

When Xu Zun came to the depths of the cabin and saw the scene inside the iron cage, he suddenly felt heavy.

But I saw that all the people in the iron cage were young women, and there were even girls about ten years old.

The women were unclothed, unkempt, and covered with whip marks, which was shocking.

As you can imagine, what happened to these women on the pirate ship.

Scanning among them, Xu Zun saw that most of the women were from various tribes in the East China Sea, including people from the Central Plains and dark-skinned Nanyang women.

I even saw several tall European and American women with snow-white skin.

This......

Xu Zun frowned at first, but after a little thought, he could think that these pirates specialized in robbing ships coming and going in the East China Sea, and they must have robbed many foreign ocean-going fleets, right?

"My lord, my lord......" At this time, Huo Anu hurriedly ran over and whispered in Xu Zun's ear, "There are two great Xuan women inside, claiming that they are the prince's maids!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Zun was shocked and hurriedly followed Huo Anu to the cage inside.

But seeing that the two women had been helped out of the cage by the guards, Shangguan Min and Li Xing hurriedly took off their clothes and draped them on the two women.

These are two extremely young and thin women.

Despite the brutal devastation, it can still be distinguished from their looks and hairstyles that they are indeed Daxuan women.

"Woo woo ......" Seeing Xu Zun wearing a big Xuan official uniform, the two women burst into tears, "My lord...... Help us, woo......"

"You ......" Xu Zun wanted to ask carefully, but the scene was complicated, and it was difficult to speak.

So, Xu Zun gave Huo Anu a look.

Huo Anu instantly understood what Xu Zun meant, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "Don't worry! You are saved, come, come with me! ”

The two women wanted to identify themselves again, but they were grabbed by Huo Anu and signaled them not to talk nonsense, and then took the two back to the Daxuan battleship.

Next, Xu Zun went to another pirate ship, and sure enough, he saw many items from the Great Xuan Navy.

For example, gold, silver, jewelry, armor, weapons, and so on......

Seeing these situations, a thought took shape in the minds of Xu Zun and everyone, that is, these pirates had contact with the prince's mission, and even had a battle!

These things, most likely, were looted by pirates.

But...... How could the pirates be able to beat the Great Xuan Battleship?

Besides, wasn't the Prince's Mission attacked by the Kraken?

Why did the people and things of the Prince's Mission appear on the pirate ship?

Things are getting more and more strange, and Xu Zun is more desperate to know the truth.

So, instead of checking on the other pirate ships, he went straight back to the battleship and interrogated the pirate leader a second time.

The internal guards are all masters of interrogation, and in the process of Xu Zun's inspection, Ah Xiu Tsai has already passed the harsh interrogation of begging for death, and let the pirate leader confess.

At this moment, the pirate leader was hanging in a certain cabin, with a little blood on the ground, and various horrific torture instruments were placed next to him.

“…… I ......" the pirate leader had his head down, his right ear had been cut off, and blood was dripping, "We received word that we were going to loot a large warship, saying that there was an untold amount of loot on board...... So, we're ......"

"Wait a minute," Xu Zun waved his hand and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"We ...... We ......," replied the pirate leader, "we are the pirates of Izumo Province, because Izumo Province is at war, so we have come to the west, and we ...... Ay? Oops......"

Before the pirate leader finished speaking, he saw Xu Zun waving his hand at Ah Xiuzai.

Ah Xiu Tsai directly carried the knife and cut the pirate's other ear.

"Don't," Xu Zun waved his hand and said, "Don't cut your ears again, he can't hear clearly now!" It's better to cut off your eyes, it's useless to see what you can't see! ”

"Yes!" Ah Xiu Tsai instead pointed the knife into the eye of the pirate leader.

"Black ...... Hei Boyu ......" The pirate leader shouted out in horror, "We are all subordinates of Hei Boyu, and our news is also given to us by Hei Boyu, don't, don't......"

Seeing the pirate leader say Hei Boyu's name, Xu Zun signaled Ah Xiu Zai to stop.

"Hei Boyu ......" Xu Zun frowned and asked, "Why did he want you to attack the Great Xuan Battleship, can you fight it?" Where did you attack, did you succeed? ”

"At Whale Bend," said the pirate leader, "there weren't many defenders left on that battleship, and after a few shots with us, we took it!" ”

"That'...... What about the people on board? Xu Zun asked hurriedly.

"Hmm...... What's this...... This ......"

Seeing the hesitation of the pirate leader, Xu Zun already knew the answer.

However, the appearance still has to be put out.

Ah Xiu slashed the pirate leader's face, just a few millimeters from his eyes.

"Ah...... I say, I say......" cried the pirate leader, "we have killed them all, and after robbing the ship of the spoils, we have sunk the ship in Whale Bay!" ”

Hearing this, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Xu Zun and the others felt more and more that something was wrong, and it didn't match Shen Xingran's account at all.

"Whale Bay is off the coast of the Banshee Country," Xiao Zhennan whispered in Xu Zun's ear, "It's very close to the sea where the prince was attacked. ”

Oh......

Xu Zun suddenly understood something, Shen Xingran said that one of the escort warships of the Prince's Mission was not attacked by the Kraken.

So was it the frigate that the pirates attacked?

Broken......

Xu Zun's mood suddenly became heavy, if the escort battleship had not been sunk by the Kraken, then maybe they had already saved the prince.

But if the prince is on the ship, this ......

"I ask you," Xu Zun asked, "who are the people on the battleship?" ”

"Huh?" The pirate was surprised and hurriedly said, "These are all soldiers dressed similarly to you!" ”

"How many?"

"It's just about two dozen people!"

Dozen?

Xu Zun guessed that the frigate battleship was also damaged like the Tianfu giant ship?

"What...... Xu Zun asked again, "When?" ”

"A day ago, oh......" replied the pirate leader, "just yesterday!" ”

What!?

Xu Zun suddenly felt that his head was big, and he couldn't figure it out, why couldn't he even match the time?

"My lord, my lord......" At this time, Huo Anu hurriedly walked from behind, pulled Xu Zun aside and whispered, "Those two women have confirmed that they are indeed the prince's maids." ”

"Oh?" Xu Zun asked, "What do they say?" ”

"They said," said Ho Anu, "that when the prince's mission was attacked by the Kraken, they followed the prince on the frigate, and after the attack, they fell overboard.

Then, relying on a plank, they drifted on the sea for a day and a night, and were rescued by the local natives and placed on an unknown island in the Banshee Country.

"Three days ago, the pirates raided the island and took the women of the island and the two of them captive on board......

"Oh......" Xu Zun nodded slightly, and only then did he straighten out the timeline of the entire incident......
