Early the next morning.

The blue waves are vast, and the wind is hanging.

A few tired waterfowl flapped their wings and landed on the high mast.

At the bow of the boat, Xu Zun looked into the distance, still thinking about all kinds of things.

Brother Shen......

He sighed quietly, it's not that I don't want to agree, it's just your dying request, I'm afraid it's very difficult for me to do it, brother!

Yes, whenever I have the opportunity, I naturally want to protect the Shen brothers and sisters, and I will do my best to do it.

However, now that even my future is uncertain, how can I make empty promises?

The prince is dead!

I don't know how his death will affect me? According to the temper of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to protect myself, so how can I protect others?

Moreover, I don't promise you, and the most important thing is that brother, I still have something important to tell you!

Shen Gong's death is very likely to have been committed by your sister Shen Qian, in such a situation, how can I promise to take care of them?

Shen Qian......

Thinking of this distant fiancée, Xu Zun couldn't help frowning.

I really didn't expect that she actually followed Princess Ronghua.

Perhaps, Shen Qian took advantage of the chaos to kill Shen Gong, and it has something to do with this relationship, right?

Either the forces represented by Shen Qian contradicted the royalists like Shen Gong, or Shen Qian had something in the hands of others, or she was coerced......

Gee......

Xu Zun didn't dare to think about it anymore, because he didn't know much about Princess Ronghua, and it was useless to guess.

The same is true of the bloody female killer, there is no conclusive evidence, and Xu Zun has no way of telling who sent her.

He only knew that this person might have something to do with Mao Jifang.

After all, the Blood Demon Palm is Mao Jifang's unique secret skill, and this kind of yin and evil martial arts is almost impossible to be self-taught.

Mao Jifang is one of the top ten masters of Daxuan, according to Zhao Yu, his martial arts may still be above Yue Jinglei and Wang Dian, and he is the first in the world by default of Jianghu people!

However, a person like him who stands at the top generally disdains to participate in court disputes, and I heard that Mao Jifang never accepts female apprentices.

So, the origin of the female killer is still debatable.

However, what Xu Zun is worried about now is not the identity of the female killer, but how to report to the Queen Mother when he returns to Daxuan?

As an important criminal, although Kong Zhen was captured alive by him, due to the death of the prince, his situation became more precarious.

Before, Xu Zun had done dozens of deductions, but no matter how he deduced, his ending would not be good.

Even if the female killer was really sent by the Queen Mother, even if the Queen Mother really wanted the prince to die in the Banshee Country, then Xu Zun's fate was destined to be no better.

Because, Xu Zun knows very well that the Queen Mother will never announce the scandal of the prince to the world, and she must find a scapegoat.

Even if the scapegoat is Kong Zhen, the Banshee Country, and the entire East China Sea Kingdom, the charge of protecting the prince is still valid.

When the time comes, it's okay to say that the official can't save it, but I'm afraid that he can save his life!

Alas......

Xu Zun racked his brains and pondered hard, trying to find a hope from it, a hope that was not at the mercy of fate.

However, if you really want to get rid of your fate, I'm afraid there is only one way to go, that is, to go directly to the South Seas, and not to return to Daxuan, nor to stay in the East China Sea.

Then, relying on the wealth he brings now, first-class warriors and industrious wisdom, maybe he can mix a little king in Nanyang, right?

The beauties that Kong Zhen gave to himself are all there, and when the time comes, there will be a group of concubines, happy like a fairy?

Hehe......

Xu Zun smiled knowingly, such a beautiful thing, I'm afraid it's just a thought.

It is impossible for first-class warriors to follow themselves and drift overseas; In addition, many of my people are the queen mother's people, even if they run to the ends of the earth, I am afraid they will be chased back!

Just thinking about it, he heard movement behind him, and looked back, but saw that Zhao Yu had been waiting for a long time.

"My lord," seeing Xu Zun turn around, Zhao Yu took a few steps forward, came to Xu Zun's side and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, our ship seems to be heading all the way north, what does this mean?" Aren't you going back to Qizhou? ”

"Yes," Xu Zun nodded, "we'll head north around Izumo Province and then west." ”

"Then ......" Zhao Yu scratched his head, "Is that going to Qingzhou, or Liaozhou?" Why? That's a long way off! Besides......" he lowered his voice, for fear of being heard by others, "Our sailors are all from Qizhou!" ”

Xu Zun didn't answer, but glanced at him nonchalantly.

"Huh?" Zhao Yu's mind was quick, and he immediately understood something, and asked, "What do you mean, is it dangerous for us to go to Qizhou?" ”

"It's not even dangerous," Xu Zun sneered, "I can guarantee that as soon as we land in Qizhou, we will be attacked immediately!" ”

"Why?" Zhao Yu said, "Also, what are we afraid of?" With these warriors on the ship, the world is invincible! ”

"The tone of your voice is becoming more and more like Huo Anu," Xu Zun sighed, "What if they use the Great Xuan Battleship?" Is it still useful to have high martial arts? ”

"Wouldn't it? Why do you think that? Zhao Yu was still puzzled, "Isn't the mission case already clear?" Are you worried that after such a long time, Qizhou will still be occupied by those pirates in Izumo Province?

"And," he added, "where am I like Fire Anu?" ”

"It is impossible for Qizhou to be occupied by the pirates," Xu Zun said, "but there is another enemy in Qizhou!" ”

"Another enemy?" Zhao Yu's eyes widened, "Who?" ”

"Have you forgotten," Xu Zun said, "that Kong Zhen told us that the assassination eighteen years ago was planned by her father? ”

"This ......" Zhao Yu was even more blindsided, completely unable to keep up with Xu Zun's rhythm, "Why did you suddenly pull so far?" ”

"The old king planned the assassination and wanted to assassinate the Emperor and Empress Daxuan," Xu Zun continued, "His purpose in doing this was because the prince of Daxuan had the power in his hands at that time, and he wanted to cause the princes from all walks of life to fight, and then take the opportunity to enter the Central Plains and plot a great cause!" ”

"Yes, Kong Zhen did say that," Zhao Yu hurriedly asked, "But what does this have to do with whether we can return to Qizhou or not?" ”

"Then since the old king can enter the palace to assassinate," Xu Zun said, "how can he do it without internal response?" ”

"Guilty?" Zhao Yu still doesn't understand, what does this have to do with Qizhou?

"If my guess is correct," said Xu Zun, "the old king must have reached an agreement with one or more princes.

"The prince helped the assassins enter the palace, and then each took what he needed."

"Lord Wang...... "Tut...... "Zhao Yu still couldn't understand the meaning, but was no longer in a hurry, and put on a deaf look.

"Of course, the assassination still ended in failure, but those cooperating princes were not exposed." Xu Zun said, "Old Zhao, do you remember, who did we meet on the night we were attacked by pirates in Qizhou? ”

"Who?" Zhao Yu had already given up thinking, Xu Zun asked, his brain took off instantly, and he replied casually: "Isn't it that fake Wang Shuncai?" Alas? Oh...... Oh......"

Finally, Zhao Yu understood something, and his eyes lit up.

"Wang Shun is the superior of the fake Qiu Yongnian," Xu Zun said, "that is, Kong Zhen's subordinates, who are Kong Zhen's subordinates, why did they appear in Qizhou?" ”

"What do you mean ......"

"In the Heavenly Tribulation Operation, the princes of all walks of life suffered heavy losses and were assassinated by the Xuanmen." Xu Zun said, "Among them are the two old princes who are highly respected, King Yu of Qingzhou and King Jin of Qizhou. If I'm not mistaken, is the Jin Palace's Mansion in Yongming County? ”

"Oh......" Zhao Yu only felt goosebumps rise all over his body, "Do you suspect that King Jin, King Jin has a problem?" ”
