Chapter 362: Cover-up

"Hurry, hurry...... Over there, over there......"

On the tar-smelling deck, sailors were extinguishing the fire as fast as they could.

The flames were extinguished, leaving patches of charred stains on the deck, but it did not hurt the deck itself.

On the contrary, the fire in the cabin was a little out of control, and the flames can still be seen to this day, and the sailors are pouring water into the cabin one after another.

At the same time, under the control of the captured pirates, the pirate ship approached the Daxuan battleship, and the two ships built a wooden bridge and were transferring the personnel and materials on the battleship.

Due to the serious tilt of the Daxuan battleship, Xiao Zhennan decided to give up the materials and transfer the personnel first.

With a dull squeak, the Daxuan battleship was about to capsize, and it was in danger.

And at such a critical juncture, Xu Zun brought the little pirate leader into the captain's room of the pirate ship and continued his interrogation.

There was no time to clean up the corpses in the captain's room, and there was a strong smell of blood everywhere, which made the little leader tremble and tremble.

"I don't know much about this, I'm just a small leader," the small leader said, "I guessed later that the weakness of the Great Xuan Battleship may be in the bow." ”

Regarding this statement, Xu Zun also figured out after many verifications that although the Daxuan battleship was known as an invincible battleship, the bow part of the ship actually harbored hidden dangers.

Don't look at the bow of the ship is equipped with a thick angle of attack, but because the draft can't be too deep, the waterproof partition inside is not dense.

Therefore, once the bow of the ship is seriously damaged, the entire battleship is in danger of capsizing.

Even if it doesn't capsize, the ship will lose its ability to handle.

No wonder the Celestial Fortune Giant would float so far at sea that it would be lost to Gufeng Island.

However, it is conceivable that this is undoubtedly the top secret of the Great Xuanshui Army, and even ordinary generals cannot know about it.

It can be seen from this that among the black hands who created the attack on the Daxuan Mission, there must be a high-ranking person of Daxuan!

"You tell me in detail about the day," Xu Zun ordered, "After the mission was attacked, where did the anti-water Daxuan battleship go?" ”

"I really don't know this," the little leader quickly replied, "After the attack on the mission, Lord Hei Boyu saw that those warships were about to capsize, and he was worried that someone would see us, so he withdrew ahead of schedule.

"We also all wondered, since the attack on the Daxuan battleship was naturally for the treasure of the battleship, but ...... But Hei Boyu obviously didn't go to those things, it seems, it was just for the sake of attacking......

"Of course," the little leader continued, "Lord Hei Boyu may also be worried that the anti-water Daxuan frigate will be unfavorable to us, right?"

"So we quickly withdrew! I don't know what happened later. ”

"What about you?" Xu Zun asked.

"We?" The little leader said, "Our minds are full of doubts, but the leaders are very strict-mouthed, and they just tell us that after the great wealth is achieved, we will have mountains of gold and silver, and we will never ......have to venture at sea again."

"So," Xu Zun asked knowingly, "Hei Boyu was also instructed by someone?" Do you know who it is? ”

"I don't know, my lord," the little leader's tears were worthless, and he immediately wept bitterly, "The little one can swear to God, we really, really obey orders, and we will do whatever we want!" ”

"Hei Boyu has three pirate ships," Xu Zun asked, "what about the other two?" ”

"Sunk," said the little leader, "during the attack on the Great Xuan Mission, the other two ships were hit by shells and sank!" ”

"Oh?" Xu Zun asked, "Who hit it?" ”

"It should have been during the attack, and the Daxuan battleship fired a few shots casually," the little leader said, "and somehow it hit." ”

Hearing the answer, Xu Zun pondered for a moment, and then asked:

"Let me ask you, have you been on this pirate ship for the last six months?"

"Yes," replied the little leader, "there is a civil strife in Izumo Province, and you can encounter official ships every day.

"All our strongholds on weekdays are exposed, and we can't stay in the north, so we came to the south......"

"Then on your ship," Xu Zun asked, "have you ever seen a stranger?" ”

"Strangers?" The little leader struggled to remember, then shook his head, "Doesn't think so?" ”

"Then you all the way south," Xu Zun asked again, "where have you crossed the shore?" ”

"Docking...... Well," said the little leader, "that's a lot, in the country of Pulau, the country of Sakitsuki, and the country of Bixian, all of them have docked, but they are all private docks, but they don't dare to go to Guandao......"

In this way, Xu Zun asked the little boss many questions, and the little boss knew everything, but many of the answers were worthless.

At this moment, Xu Zun heard several loud buzzing sounds coming from outside the captain's room, and hurriedly went outside to check.

It turned out that the Great Xuan Battleship had capsized, setting off a huge whirlpool on the sea!

"Anu," Xu Zun hurriedly asked, "How's it going?" Has everyone come? ”

"It's here!" Huo Anu hurriedly ran over and replied, "It's all here, it's just a pity that we have the equipment on the ship, and ...... There are also several jugs of good wine, which is a pity! ”

"My lord," at this time, with a clear and loud voice, Xu Zun saw Ani running towards him, and asked with concern before he came closer, "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine!"

Xu Zun hurriedly glanced behind Ani, and suddenly felt a resentful gaze coming, it was the crown princess Tian Jing.

Obviously, the crown princess had realized that it was impossible for Xu Zun to reach an agreement with her, so her eyes looking at Xu Zun were naturally full of resentment.

Xu Zun saw Ani and asked a few words with concern, and then did not forget to tell Ani to "take care" of the princess.

Ani nodded vigorously, and told Xu Zun with a firm look that she was not worried, and that she would stare at the crown princess inch by inch.

Next, Xu Zun looked at the deck, because the pirate ship was a whole circle smaller than the Great Xuan Battleship, and the interior of the cabin was temporarily inaccessible, the deck was densely packed with people!

He could see that Shangguan Min and the others, who had been poisoned and fell into the water before, had been fished out to the deck, and the symptoms of poisoning had also been alleviated.

However, just in case, Dai Long and the others still used ropes to control them firmly.

Fortunately, there are people among the first-class martial artists who know medical skills, and they are being diagnosed and healed at the moment......

At the same time, Hou Zhen and the others had also finished searching the cabin and did not find any living people, and it seemed that the mysterious killer had already disembarked from the ship.

"My lord," Zhao Yu suddenly came out from behind Xu Zun and whispered in Xu Zun's ear, "I have asked the other pirate prisoners of war, and their confessions are the same as that of that little leader, and they have also seen the anti-water Daxuan frigate.

"However, they didn't know that the frigate was killed by another group of pirates!"

Well.

Xu Zun nodded faintly, the general context of the matter seemed to have become clear, Hei Boyu was instructed to attack the Great Xuan Mission.

Subsequently, he sent people to eliminate the anti-water Daxuan frigate.

In the end, he was also killed by his superiors!

Conceal!

Conceal!

Cover up again!

It seems that this person who instructed Hei Boyu is undoubtedly the culprit of the danger of the Great Xuan Mission!

So...... Who is he?

Thinking of this, Xu Zun saw that Captain Xiao Zhennan was the last to board the pirate ship, and immediately walked quickly in front of Xiao Zhennan, and said heavily:

"Captain Xiao, organize the manpower immediately, we will set sail immediately!"

"Oh?" Xiao Zhennan didn't expect Xu Zun to be so anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Now?" Where to? ”

"Yes, right now," Xu Zun turned to the sea on one side, narrowed his eyes and said, "The target is the Banshee Country!! ”
