Chapter 363: Like a Great Enemy
Twilight.
Fire burns the clouds.
In Daxuan, the burning clouds represent a kind of auspiciousness, indicating that there is abundant rain and all things are vigorous.
But at this time, in Xu Zun's eyes, it was like blood scarlet, which made him feel excited and nervous.
Looking downward, you can already see the brightly lit Banshee Island in the distance, and the figures on the island are floating and peaceful.
Due to the eye-catching black sails of the pirate ship, Xu Zun deliberately slowed down the speed of the ship in order to avoid misunderstanding, and let the boat be announced in advance.
At this moment, the lights on the dock of Banshee Island can be seen flickering and crowded, obviously the lord of the country has received the news and is preparing to greet him.
However, while greeting her, you can also see that the warships of the Banshee Kingdom are gathering at the dock, and it seems that the female lord is worried about fraud and guards against pirate sneak attacks.
Xu Zun was a little surprised, he didn't expect that a small banshee country would have such a scale of coastal defense team, there were no less than ten first-class warships alone, and there were countless small combat ships.
Feeling the temperature rise in the back of his head, Xu Zun finally turned around, only to see Huo Anu carrying a torch and facing Xu Zun.
"My lord," Huo Anu brought the flames closer to Xu Zun, "It's ready, are you sure it's necessary?" ”
Xu Zun didn't answer, but glanced at everyone on the deck, but saw that the first-class martial artist had changed into a soldier's costume and was tearing his clothes at the moment.
Someone deliberately removed half of his hair and smeared soot on his face, making him look extremely embarrassed.
"Hmm."
Xu Zun hummed and agreed.
Huo Anu was also ruthless enough, and when the flames burned on Xu Zun's bun, the hair on the side of Xu Zun's ears burst into flames.
"Wow......"
Zhao Yu was frightened and hurriedly covered Xu Zun's head with the prepared wet cloth to extinguish the flames.
After the wet cloth was removed, I saw that Xu Zun's hair bun on the side of his ear was half burned, and he was smoking.
"My lord," Huo Anu saw that Xu Zun's ears were still burning with a white bubble, and his heart suddenly twitched, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you okay!?" ”
"I thought," Xu Zun felt the hot pain, and said with a grin, "If you have a fire in your name, you are the best at playing with fire, it seems that I take it for granted!" ”
As soon as Xu Zun said this, Huo Anu couldn't help but laugh.
Xu Zun glanced at her, and then began to apply soot to his face, while tearing a gap in the neckline of the official mansion.
"My lord," Ah Xiu came to report, "according to your orders, everyone is almost ready!" ”
"Good!" Xu Zun hugged his fists in front of many first-class martial artists, and said loudly, "Heroes, Xu's move is really helpless, and I hope you can understand." This time it's not to repay me Xu's favor, but it's completely for my Daxuan Sheji! ”
"It's okay Lord Xu," Zhao Xin found half a wooden stick out of nowhere, pretending that his leg was injured and became lame. His eyes sparkled and he said, "If you can contribute to my great mystery, we can't ask for it!" ”
"Yes," another martial artist dressed as a court musician said righteously, "We naturally know that it is powerful, only if the society is stable, can my great Xuan Ziming live and work in peace and contentment!"
"Even for the sake of the people, we are duty-bound!"
"Yes!"
"Yes, that's a good point!"
Through the performance of the first-class martial artists, Xu Zun already knew in his heart, these people came from famous families in the rivers and lakes, although they were not interested in the Daxuan court, but they were chivalrous.
So, these people deserve to be trusted.
At the beginning, there were a total of twenty-seven warriors who survived and escaped from Gufeng Island, and in the battle with Ku Niang, the walker almost lost his life.
Later, after the battle with Hei Boyu, several more warriors were poisoned or injured, and there were exactly twenty people who still maintained their combat ability at this moment.
Looking at the guards again, Li Xing and Shangguan Min were injured due to poisoning, and now although they have regained their senses, they are in a worrying state.
Therefore, Xu Zun decided to leave them on the ship and arrange for Hou Zhen, who was more secure to take care of them.
In addition, in addition to the guards, Xu Zun also left Xiao Zhennan and his wife on the ship, as soon as Xiao Zhennan was the captain, he had to respond to Xu Zun and others at any time.
Second, their husband and wife were originally here to help, and Xu Zun didn't want them to follow him in danger.
In the end, the Daxuan sailors led by Wu Yubao also stayed on the ship, repairing the hull while preparing to sail at any time.
As the pirate ship got closer, everyone's mood became more and more nervous, and they could already hear various voices coming from the docks of the Banshee Country.
"Ji Ying," at this time, the uneasy Shen Xingran pulled Xu Zun aside and asked worriedly, "Is your plan too arbitrary, Hei Boyu is dead, we have no evidence, is it not appropriate for you to suspect the Banshee Kingdom like this?"
"Besides, what if it has nothing to do with Kong Zhen? Is Kong Zhen's subordinates colluding with pirates? And ......" he swallowed, "even if it is really Kong Zhen, then we are like this, wouldn't we be caught in the net?" ”
"Hehe," Xu Zun smiled faintly, "Brother Shen, you're thinking too simply!" If it is really Kong Zhen, then even if we don't throw ourselves into the net, we will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of her hand.
"Along the way, we have lost so many things," Xu Zun said meaningfully, "If we can't get the truth, then we can't even save our lives!" ”
"You...... This ......" Shen Xingran didn't understand what Xu Zun meant at all, and the eyes that looked at Xu Zun became more and more unfamiliar.
Where is this still the little paralyzed child who was bullied by his younger brothers and sisters, had no ambitions, and was confused?
What exactly happened to him that made him grow so fast and so scary?
Still is...... He used to be wise and foolish, all pretending?
Just wondering, Shen Xingran saw that the crown princess, who was wearing a purple dress, was also brought to the deck.
In addition to Ani, the crown princess was surrounded by the two prince's maids.
Since the whereabouts of the princess's maids were unknown, Xu Zun arranged for these two prince's maids to serve the princess.
"Huh? Ji Ying, this ......" Shen Xingran turned to Xu Zun, "You want to let the crown princess get off the boat?" Isn't it...... It's too dangerous? ”
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun hesitated for a moment, and said to Shen Xingran, "Brother is still the same sentence, you are an important witness in this case, so ......"
As he spoke, Xu Zun gestured to the cabin, which meant not letting Shen Xingran get off the boat.
"This ......" Shen Xingran looked angry, "The crown princess and the maid are not important witnesses?" Ji Ying, tell me honestly, do you doubt me? ”
"No," Xu Zun said categorically, "Brother Shen, I am really for your good, listen to me, stay on the boat!" ”
As he spoke, Xu Zun glanced at Hou Zhen, and Hou Zhen immediately came to Shen Xingran's side.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious, if Shen Xingran didn't comply, Hou Zhen would use force to forcibly suppress it.
"......" Shen Xingran gritted his teeth, glared at Xu Zun angrily, and was about to leave with his sleeves away, but he thought of something, turned around and admonished, "In that case, I won't pull you back, but no matter what, you must pay attention to safety!" ”
After speaking, Shen Xingran turned around and entered the cabin.
Looking at Shen Xingran's back, Xu Zun felt a familiar emotion in his heart, and for some reason, Shen Gong's kind face appeared in his mind again.
Time was pressing, and Xu Zun could not be left to be melancholy, and when he turned around again, he found that the pirate ship had sailed into the docks of the Banshee Country.
But I saw that the docks of the Banshee Country were full of soldiers wearing silver helmets and silver armor, and the soldiers were holding spears and spears, as if they were fully armed, as if they were facing a great enemy......
