Chapter 508 Hongwu cannon stolen.

When an action has become a habit, it is difficult to change.

The wind was still blowing, but it was much softer, and the lost seagulls had flown into the distance, but they didn't know how far it was, and whether they would find their way home, and on the way, they would rush into the sea several times.

Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng are snuggling up to each other, and here, only the two of them can rely on each other.

The night was getting deeper, and the surroundings were unusually quiet.

But at this time, a fire suddenly lit up in the distance, and when Ye Xing saw that place, he was shocked, because that place was the place where the Hongwu cannon was placed.

At this time, there were more and more fires, as if something had happened.

I don't know if it was a sudden attack by the Vietnamese, or what happened inside the Champa people, but no matter what the possibility, Ye Xing and they had to rush quickly, and their Hongwu cannon would definitely not be able to have an accident.

Without the Hongwu cannon, how could they sail safely on the sea.

The place where the Hongwu cannon was placed was a little far away from the ship, but Ye Xing and a few of them performed light skills, and it would not take much time to get there.

It's just that when they arrived at that place, everything was too late, and the more than fifty people guarding the Hongwu cannons were already dead, and the dozen or so Hongwu cannons were missing two at this time.

The soldiers of Champa were also damaged, and the sentry had already been dealt with with with a knife.

Ye Xing looked at this kind of scene, he didn't know what to say for a while, the blood and corpses all over the ground were shocking, Ye Xing had never seen so many corpses.

War, sometimes brutal, is unimaginably cruel.

It's just that why did the enemy do this, and the raid was carried out just to take their two Hongwu cannons?

In order to find out the situation at that time, Ye Xing found someone who was still alive.

"What happened?"

The man was still a little scared, as if he couldn't believe what had happened tonight.

"At that time we were all on guard, but we were a little sleepy, so we wanted to take a nap, but after a while, we heard a scream, and when we reflected, a group of people had suddenly rushed up, and after those people rushed up, they slashed us, so we hurriedly sent a signal, and then our people came with torches, and those people saw that the situation was not good, so they fled."

Ye Xing checked the scene, and then according to what the people who occupied the city, he roughly understood the situation at that time.

A group of raiders first killed the more than fifty soldiers they had placed here to guard the Hongwu cannon by the fastest means, and then they divided some of them to kill those who were guarding the cannon, while the other part stole the Hongwu cannon.

It's just that the Hongwu cannons are too heavy, and it is not easy to steal them all, so they only steal two in the end.

Who is the person who can steal the Hongwu cannon?

Ye Xing took a torch and searched carefully near the place where the Hongwu cannon was placed, hoping to find some clues.

The Hongwu cannon is a very heavy thing, and if you want to push it away, there will definitely be traces of the wheel, so it is not difficult to find out who stole the Hongwu cannon.

But when Ye Xing took a closer look, he was surprised to find that although there were traces of the wheels, they were all traces when they were transported from the ship, but there were no traces of the two Hongwu cannons being pushed away.

More than a mile away from here is the border between Vietnam and Champa, and if it is the Hongwu cannon stolen by the Vietnamese, if you follow that road, you will definitely be able to find some clues.

But after Ye Xing had this idea, he ignored the late night, and Hua Zhimeng Zheng and they took torches to look for them along the way, but they searched all the way, and they found no trace of the Hongwu cannon until they found the Vietnamese border.

It was already getting light, and they didn't have anything to gain.

Several of them were very sleepy, Ye Xing saw this, so he led them to rest, and everything will be said tomorrow morning.

They didn't sleep long before they got up and continued their search, and they came to the place where the Hongwu cannon was placed and searched carefully, and there was indeed no trace of the Hongwu cannon being pushed away, only the traces of when they came.

This is simply too strange, as if two Hongwu cannons suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

Lai of Champa, the king of Champa, had already learned about this, and when he knew about it, he was shocked and angry, he recruited Ye Xing and Zheng He and others into his palace, and said angrily: "This must be a sneak attack by the Vietnamese, I think we must give them a little bit of strength and take the initiative to attack." ”

There was no movement on the more difficult side, and Ye Xing didn't want to provoke a war, because war would kill a lot of people.

What's more, this matter is not sure to be the ghost of the Vietnamese, so Ye Xing wants to investigate this matter clearly, as long as the Hongwu cannon is recovered, they don't have to start this unnecessary war.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is a bit strange, before starting a war with Vietnam, I think we must first find our Hongwu cannons, otherwise both sides have Hongwu cannons, and the casualties are heavy, I think the king must not let his people go to death, right?"

The anger on Zhanba's Lai face was still there, but he was already thinking about Ye Xing's words.

After a long time, Lai of Champa said: "But that Vietnam is so rampant, if you don't take the opportunity to attack them now, after a long time, I am afraid that something will happen!" ”

He still advocated an active attack on Vietnam.

Seeing this, Ye Xing was already a little angry, but he still smiled faintly: "Your Majesty the King, don't worry, when I find out about this matter, I will definitely be able to give an explanation, I think that Vietnam is afraid of our Hongwu artillery, and it will not dare to attack casually for a while." ”

Champa Lai looked worried, and finally said: "But I'm afraid that Vietnam will suddenly seize the initiative, I wonder if His Excellency King Daming will be able to find out about this matter in a few days?" ”

Champa Lai is giving Ye Xing a time limit, if the time limit passes, I am afraid that even if Ye Xing and they oppose the war, this Champa king will also have to fight with Vietnam.

"How many days must the king feel fit?" Ye Xing asked rhetorically.

Zhanba's Lai thought for a while and said, "Then two days, after all, this extraordinary period can't be delayed too much!" ”

Di Xiaojie felt that Zhanba's Lai was clearly difficult, he couldn't get angry, and wanted to say that he would leave this broken place with their Hongwu cannon and let them fight with the Vietnamese by themselves, but Di Xiaojie hadn't spoken yet, and had already been preemptively agreed by Ye Xing.

"Okay, then two days, if I don't find out about the Hongwu cannon after two days, it won't be too late for His Majesty the King to start a war with Vietnam, I think in two days, His Majesty the King should be able to send people to protect our remaining Hongwu cannons, right?"
