Chapter two hundred and ninety fifth lifeline
On the blue sea, flocks of birds chirping happily.
This is their feast, their paradise. Countless dead fish floated quietly on the sea, densely packed and endlessly visible at first sight.
The small ones are only about an inch, and the big ones are several feet long. Countless fish corpses are piled up into a sea of disgusting rotten corpses. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely a place of death, a sea of death, and for seabirds, this is a paradise.
A giant ship sailed through the wind and waves and rushed towards him rapidly.
It was originally supposed to be a four-day trip, but Lu Sheng arrived in just two days.
Standing quietly at the bow of the boat, looking at the sea in front of you that looked like a forbidden zone of life.
Sea lions, seals, sharks, and countless fish that cannot be called out are like stewed in a pot of seafood.
There are floating corpses within a radius of five miles. However, none of these corpses belong to humans.
"It should be here..." Duan Fei looked at the sea of corpses and blood in front of him, "How could so many fish die here? And how do these fish... feel..."
"They were all burned to death!" Lu Sheng said lightly. Only the burned fish would have the unique roll of their eyes.
"Sir, look, there is a flagpole here!" Lu Jian finished speaking, and his body flashed like a wild goose and jumped off the boat. He picked up the flagpole in the water and returned to the boat with a little toe.
"Kawamakura? Could it be General Kawamakura?"
"I'll go down and take a look!" Lu Sheng said lightly, and the words fell, and the people had already entered the water.
The sea water still has residual heat, jumping into the sea, as comfortable as entering the hot spring. If it weren't for the strong smell of sourness floating in the sea water, this would have been a pleasant spring experience.
The sea water here is about a hundred feet deep and about three hundred meters deep. Lu Sheng can breathe freely in the sea with the water avoidance technique, and naturally he can sink to the bottom of the sea in one breath.
At the bottom of the sea, Lu Sheng easily saw some traces of the shipwreck. Lu Sheng swam to the shipwreck, and there were traces of being cut off by the knife air along the shipwreck. However, there were no corpses in the shipwreck, and none of these shipwrecks were ships of the Yangtze River Navy.
Among the shipwrecks, Lu Sheng could find the same flagpole as the ones that Lu Jian fished out. These shipwrecks were all Japanese warships.
But since this is the place where the war takes place, why... there is no shipwreck of the Yangtze River Navy? Since the Yangtze River Navy has been wiped out and there is not a single body, there is not even a shipwreck or a wreck of warships?
Lu Sheng stood quietly at the bottom of the sea, raised his head, and watched more and more marine creatures gathered in the sea.
If so many fish die here, it becomes a canteen for marine life. More fish will appear, swallowing the fish corpses on the sea surface, and then this sea area will still become blue and clear soon.
What caused a pot of stewing in this sea area? Lu Sheng immediately remembered the fire attack, and it was a very domineering fire attack. The temperature of the flames even boiled the sea water in this area.
The peacock rises in the East China Sea, the falling stars are like blue, and under the dark blue ghost fire, the dry bones are all turned into scum!
Only this can explain why there is no shipwreck of the Yangtze River Navy, and only this can explain why there is no body of a fallen soldier.
Because, they have been burned to ashes.
However, it is one thing to understand that it is the Deep Blue War, but how to prove that it is the Deep Blue War is another thing to do. From a legal logic, it should be Lu Sheng who wants to prove that it is the Deep Blue War that destroyed the Yangtze River Navy.
But, how to prove it?
If Lu Sheng had not boiled the surrounding sea water after taking blood Bodhi, a similar scene occurred. If it weren't for the fact that the fish corpses on the sea were formed by the fire of war, no one could believe it.
Moreover, the evidence in front of you cannot be preserved until tomorrow. Just towards the various marine creatures that are densely rushing to the sea, it will be swallowed up in a day without a day.
Lu Sheng could not prove that Japan did not have a formation map similar to the Deep Blue War. After all, everyone in the Deep Blue Navy has a detailed place to go, and none of the Deep Blue Navy has been concluded by the military headquarters outside the organization.
"No!" Suddenly, Lu Sheng thought of a possibility, and this possibility made Lu Sheng feel heartbroken and he was even reluctant to think about it.
"The deep blue war is not the same as the deep blue navy..." Lu Sheng's eyes swept across these undersea warships, but his heart trembled violently at this moment.
"Marquis Beikan shouldn't... do this? He shouldn't..." Lu Sheng kept trying to convince himself. However, the more he felt that he shouldn't think about this, the more he felt that this was the most likely.
Two lifetimes of experience tell him that he must not overestimate the moral bottom line of a criminal. Even if it seems unbelievable to normal people, in the eyes of criminals, this may be what he should do.
The King of Beikan has been guarding the Deep Blue Sea Formation for decades, and has not handed over the formation map even when facing such suppression from the imperial court. Will he hand over the formation map to Japan?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. If it were handed over to Japan, why wouldn't it be willing to hand it over to the court back then? If it were handed over to the court back then, how could the Deep Blue Ocean be sacked? How could the Zhang family be suppressed?
However, the situation was different. If Lu Sheng stood on the side of Beikanhou, he was frightened to find that it would be the most beneficial for him to hand over the deep blue sea formation map to Japan.
If Beikan Hou surrendered and handed over the formation map, he would not only not be able to regain his favor, but he might even throw away the last card to save his life.
But if it is handed over to Japan, it will inevitably strengthen the strength of the Japanese navy and pose a fatal threat to Dayu. Moreover, using this as a letter of fame, the Zhang family can enjoy the highest glory in Japan.
Compared with the supreme glory of Dayu, Beikan Hou is very likely to choose this way.
Moreover, Boss Xue has cut off all the involvement with the one in the palace. If it was really the work of Concubine Yu and the Deep Blue Navy, then there is no need for them to take this risk.
In addition to the Miyamoto Sword Saint I met before... all the clues were connected, and a mastermind behind it that was completely opposite to the previous speculation appeared.
"Is the real mastermind behind the scenes... not from Dayu Palace, but from Japan? If Japan had already obtained the deep blue sea formation map, if Beikan Hou had already defected to Japan, then it would be reasonable to apply all the evidence chains to Japan..."
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng's heart became a little confused.
The sea water gradually became cooler, and in the deep sea, a trace of coolness washed over Lu Sheng's heart.
Who is the real mastermind? Lu Sheng needs to calm down and think carefully. Two completely different answers appear in Lu Sheng's heart, and each of the two answers has a very sufficient possibility but at the same time it is contradictory.
Lu Sheng temporarily put this issue behind his mind. What he cares most now is... Is Chen Ling really dead?
A picture appeared in my mind. There were blue flames all around, and the flames surrounded the Yangtze River Navy, and all the warships turned into ashes in the flames. The sea water under the ship also became hot under the burning of high temperatures.
Whether the soldiers abandoned the ship and jumped into the sea or stayed on the ship, they would be unable to escape... If they put themselves in their shoes, how should Lu Sheng escape when he faced such a situation?
In an instant, Lu Sheng's eyes lit up.
Can live!
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to survive, but only Chen Ling and himself could live... Even the thousand Xuantian Guards around Chen Ling could live...
When facing such a situation, you just need to jump into the water. Although the sea is boiling, for those with profound internal skills, they still have a certain ability to resist in the boiling boiling water.
Moreover, the deeper the sea, the water temperature will drop sharply. Chen Ling, who also practiced the Water Avoidance Art, should be able to easily hide in the deep sea. Moreover, Lu Sheng knew that since he obtained the Water Avoidance Art, Chen Ling had used the Water Avoidance Art as the survival method of Xuantianwei and was popularized within Xuantianwei.
Perhaps the cultivation of the Qian Xuantianwei is not profound enough and cannot stay under the water for a long time like Lu Sheng. However, even if he can only stay for one hour, he can easily avoid this murderous intent.
But...if Chen Ling was not dead? Why didn't the message come back? Why were there any military newspapers of the death of a thousand Xuantianwei and Shen Ling?
If it was just the Deep Blue War, Chen Ling and Yi Qian Xuantian's health chances would be very good. However, if it was not just the Deep Blue War, but also many Japanese masters... the result would be completely the opposite.
But no matter what, this result of death in battle left a glimmer of hope in Lu Sheng's heart.
When it surfaced, Lu Sheng jumped onto the boat, the sea of corpses and blood were rising and falling. More and more fish and birds gathered to celebrate this carnival feast.
"Brother Lu, what's the situation under the sea? Prince...he is really dead?" Duan Fei asked urgently.
"There are more than a dozen wrecked ships under the sea, all of which are Japanese warships, and none of them are the Yangtze River Navy." Lu Sheng's words made Duan Fei's heart sank suddenly.
"As for whether Chen Ling died in battle, I dare not make a conclusion. I can only say that if you put yourself in your shoes, he should have a glimmer of hope. But after all, I did not see what the battlefield was like with my own eyes.
The battle situation changes rapidly, and anything may happen. So, we can only pray that Chen Ling can escape a glimmer of hope."
"The prince will be fine, I believe he must be alive."
"I believe it too! Set sail and return to Tongnan Prefecture! This matter... is far from over."
If worrying is useless, then Lu Sheng will calm himself down as soon as possible and use the most rational thinking to face the current situation.
It was another brand new and hot day. Even though there was no dark cloud in the sky, the people in the capital felt the terrible pressure of a black cloud covering the city from the bottom of their hearts.
No one knew what happened, but he could see that the playboy who had been wandering on the street had disappeared, and the city defense force standing guard on the city wall tied his face and showed a scattered murderous intent.
The fast horse army rushes into the capital almost without interruption and sends eight hundred miles to speed up. The entire capital is shrouded in the air with a smell of war smoke.
Si Zheng stepped into the harem with a gloomy face, and the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down from afar to salute.
They have been in the palace for so many years, but they have never seen the emperor's face so scary. The emperor has always been called the lord and holy king. He has always been kind to the civil and military officials and servants.
But today, the emperor's face was like an angry lion, with his suppressed power, as if the strong wind was coming towards him.
