Chapter 509: Investigate Again
Chapter 509 Investigates Again.
Ye Xing's words were almost threatening.
Their Hongwu cannon of the Ming Dynasty was stolen in Zhancheng, and if they were held accountable by the Ming Dynasty, Zhancheng would probably be unable to escape the blame.
Lai of Zhanba, the king of Champa, naturally heard the meaning of Ye Xing's words, and he nodded again and again: "Please rest assured, King Daming, I will definitely send someone to take care of the remaining Hongwu cannons." ”
Afterwards, Ye Xing and the others left the palace of Chamba Rai, and they were going to investigate the theft of the Hongwu cannon.
And to investigate this matter, it is necessary to return to the place where the Hongwu cannon was stolen again.
At this time, that place had been heavily guarded by the Lai of Zhanba, and Ye Xing and the others searched nearby for a long time, but they could not find out how the Hongwu cannon was transported away.
Vietnam, a mile away, was still calm at this time, as if they had no idea what was going on inside the city.
Di Xiaojie was a little angry, and said angrily: "I think eighty percent of our Hongwu cannons were snatched by the Vietnamese, so it's better for us to start a war with Vietnam and force them to hand over the Hongwu cannons." ”
After listening to Di Xiaojie's words, Zheng He shook his head again and again: "No, Vietnam's power should not be underestimated, not to mention that we are far away from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it is difficult for those states and counties on the border to draw troops to fight against Vietnam with us." ”
Ye Xing also agreed with what Zheng He said, not to mention that the matter has not been investigated clearly, rashly starting a war with Vietnam, I am afraid that the division will be unknown, and their voyage this time is not to fight.
Ye Xing and the others kept looking for the evening, but they didn't find a clue.
At this time, dusk fell, and there was a pale yellow afterglow all around, Hua Zhimeng and a few of them were very tired of looking for it, so they wanted to rest, because Zhancheng is a seaside country, so there are many tributaries of the sea in the country, but these tributaries are very gentle, very suitable for fishing and cruise ships in it.
Several of them were tired for a day and a night, and it was a pleasant thing to be able to row in these rivers at this time.
This idea was dreamed up by Hanachi, although she was troubled by these things, she didn't care very much, after all, these things were history that had happened to her, and she didn't care.
As for Hua Zhimeng's request, Ye Xing can always agree.
So they hired a dragon boat nearby to play in the river, although Zheng He was very worried about the Hongwu cannon, but at this time Ye Xing was like this, he had to accompany him.
Ye Xing seemed to notice Zheng He's uneasiness, so he asked, "What is Brother Zheng worried about?" ”
Zheng He didn't want to disturb Ye Xing's Yaxing, but now that Ye Xing asked, he would be really panicked if he didn't say it, so he sighed and said: "Now that the Hongwu cannon has been stolen, I am afraid that this news will be learned by the emperor when it enters Jinling, and with the emperor's temper, he will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress it." ”
This is not impossible, but Ye Xing thought about it carefully and said: "Although the possibility is not impossible, but Brother Zheng should not worry too much, the emperor is now eloquent and strategic, and he should know the harm of rashly sending troops, not to mention that a long journey is a taboo for marching, the emperor is well versed in the art of war, and will not decide easily, we just need to retrieve the Hongwu cannon immediately, and we can solve this matter." ”
Zheng He nodded: "I hope so!" ”
At this time, Xu Ruoxuan looked at Ye Xing and asked, "Brother Ye, now that the day has passed, if we can't find the Hongwu cannon tomorrow, I'm afraid this war will be inevitable!" ”
Ye Xing nodded, but said very leisurely: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to find the Hongwu cannon tomorrow, I already have a clue." ”
Everyone was first shocked, then puzzled.
"You've got a clue, tell them about it!" Hua Zhimeng couldn't wait, Ye Xing saw this, so he had to nodded: "We have investigated the scene of the theft of the Hongwu cannon, there is no trace of the Hongwu cannon being pushed away, the Hongwu cannon seems to have disappeared out of thin air, this is a bit incredible, and we have searched all around, and we have found no traces of other Hongwu cannons, and on the Vietnamese side, we have also searched, and there are no Hongwu cannons." ”
"Brother Ye, what do you mean by this?" Ai Fei'er asked puzzled.
Ye Xing smiled faintly: "The meaning is very simple, the Hongwu cannon was not robbed by the Vietnamese. ”
"It wasn't the Vietnamese who robbed it, so who took it?" Di Xiaoxin also asked.
At this time, Hua Zhimeng suddenly realized: "You mean that our Hongwu cannon was robbed by the people who occupied the city, but why did they do this?" ”
Ye Xing nodded, which was considered to answer Hua Zhimeng's speculation.
"More than 50 of our officers and soldiers were killed suddenly, which is a little incomprehensible, it takes a lot of time to kill more than 50 people, and it is impossible for those who occupy the city to post a sentry not to find out, to kill 50 people, it takes at least a stick of incense, during this period of time, those who are guarding can already recruit their soldiers, but no, they did not even find that our soldiers were killed, which shows that the sentry of the city is very suspicious, when I think of this, I began to suspect that the city is occupied, but the Hongwu cannon seems to have disappeared, I have to know how they transported the Hongwu cannon. ”
"So now you know?" Hua Zhimeng hurriedly asked.
Ye Xing nodded: "I didn't know, but when we boarded the ship, I suddenly understood." ”
"How did they transport the Hongwu cannon?"
"We all know that the Hongwu cannon has no traces of being pushed away, only traces of being pushed by us, but what if those Zhancheng people push back along the traces we pushed?"
After Ye Xing finished speaking, Xu Ruoxuan immediately had a question: "Even if they push back along the traces of our coming, we should also find them, after all, our traces lead all the way to our ship, and this is even more ...... here."
When Xu Ruoxuan said this, he suddenly couldn't go on, because he suddenly realized the meaning of what Ye Xing said just now, and the others had already understood.
Ye Xing smiled faintly: "You're right, those people can't keep pushing back along the traces we pushed, so if they want to transport away the Hongwu cannon, they must find another path, and this path can't leave traces, then there is only one way, that is the waterway, they will transport the Hongwu cannon to the river, and then transport the Hongwu cannon to the boat and load it away, and then they can eliminate the traces of this section of the road, after all, here is only a dozen meters away from the Hongwu cannon traces over there." ”
Now, everything has been understood, it turned out that their Hongwu cannon was robbed by the people who occupied the city, which made Di Xiaojie and them very angry, and they kindly helped borrow the Hongwu cannon for them to use, but they didn't expect that they would actually beat their Hongwu cannon idea and steal their Hongwu cannon.
