Peng Changsheng, who has a straightforward personality, obviously did not understand the "overtone" in Shang Yunsu's words. He looked at Shang Yunsu and asked:
"Yunsu, do you mean that these people who landed on the island are searching for Ge Hong's tomb on this island just like us?"
When Shang Yunsu heard Peng Changsheng's question, he quickly shook his head:
"Captain Peng, what I mean is that someone in our team may have told this group of people the location of the island in advance, so that they could land on the island before us."
Hearing what Shang Yunsu said, Peng Changsheng also understood:
"Yunsu, are you saying that there are bad guys in our team?"
Shang Yunsu smiled slightly:
"Captain Peng, I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
Peng Changsheng looked at Shang Yunsu and smiled helplessly. He smiled and stopped laughing, and his face gradually darkened. Then Peng Changsheng raised his head and glanced around everyone present, and said in a deep voice:
"Yunsu is right. This matter has been kept secret from the time it was planned to when we started taking action. Why would someone come to this island before us? Now it is not only Yunsu who is suspicious, but even me, an old man, is also suspicious of us.
There is a moth in our team!"
As soon as Peng Changsheng finished speaking, the fat man continued:
"Captain Peng, based on my personal experience, this does not necessarily mean that there is a moth in our team..."
Before the fat man finished speaking, the captain Jia Bing, who had been standing behind him, suddenly came out and raised his hand and said:
"You don't have to look for it, this moth is me."
After hearing what Jia Bing said, Zuo Shisan and others all focused their attention on him at the same time.
At this time, Jia Bing lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
When Peng Changsheng heard what Jia Bing said, he was so angry that he started shaking all over. Peng Changsheng pointed at Jia Bing and opened his mouth several times but was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
When Shang Yunsu on the side saw Peng Changsheng's condition, he was worried that he would be angry, so he quickly stepped forward and patted his back gently.
After a while, Peng Changshengcai's mood gradually relaxed:
"Lao Jia, Lao Jia, what do you want me to say about you? Thanks to our friendship for so many years and my trust in you, I regard you as my own brother. What do you think of me?! Ah!
, you tell you!!”
The more he talked, the more excited Peng Changsheng became. He pointed at Jia Bing, his eyes full of disappointment and anger.
The fat man was about to curse a few words, but Zuo Shisan stretched out his hand to stop him. The reason why Zuo Shisan stopped the fat man was because he felt that Captain Jia Bing seemed to have something to hide.
Jia Bing slowly raised his head, looked at Peng Changsheng and said:
"Lao Peng, actually I don't want to do this, but I really have no choice."
"You still have no choice. If you don't say anything, how can they put a knife on your neck and force you to say it?!" Peng Changsheng asked loudly.
Jia Bing looked extremely calm at this time. He looked at Peng Changsheng and said calmly:
"They just put a knife on my neck, not only on my neck, but also on my son's neck. Do you think I have any other choice in this situation?"
Hearing this, Zuo Shisan couldn't help but ask:
"How did these people find you?"
Jia Bing shook his head:
"I don't know. It was the night before you came to me. After my son and I inspected the entire ship, we slept in the cabin. I remember that at eleven or twelve o'clock at night, three or four strong men broke into the cabin.
, all holding steel knives, forcing us to tell them tomorrow's sailing route and destination, or they will send us to the West."
After hearing what Jia Bing said, Peng Changsheng asked him again:
"Then you...then why didn't you tell us earlier?!"
Jia Bing explained:
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I didn't expect that group of people to actually come to this island. There are only a few captains who can safely cross Black Bermuda."
Hearing this, Peng Changsheng suddenly became silent. He lowered his head. No one knew what he was thinking at this time.
At this time Jia Bing continued:
"Lao Peng, after so many years of our friendship, you know who I am as a person. What I just said is true."
Hearing what Jia Bing said, Peng Changsheng nodded first, then waved his hand:
"Forget it, forget it, Lao Jia, after all, it was me who harmed you, otherwise you wouldn't have been visited in the middle of the night."
After hearing this, Jia Bing quickly said:
"Lao Peng, in our relationship, there is no need to say polite words. Anyway, I have told you everything I need to say. I think we should be more vigilant now. Those people who came to see me that night were all tall and powerful.
, it doesn’t look like a good thing.”
The fat man sneered when he heard this and said:
"It's them who should be wary and careful. If we do encounter them, you don't need to do anything. I, Fatty Hu, can solve the problem by myself."
Hearing the fat man start bragging again, Zuo Shisan glared at him:
"Fat man, please stop saying a few words!"
Shang Yunsu opened his mouth and said:
"Everyone, I think we shouldn't alarm the snake right now. Since someone is willing to help us explore the way ahead, it's not necessarily a bad thing. We just need to follow them and let them help us prepare to find the location of Ge Hong's tomb.
Location."
Hearing Shang Yunsu's words, Ye Binghong nodded repeatedly:
"I think the method Sister Yunsu said is a good one!"
Zuo Shisan also nodded in agreement:
"Since someone is willing to take a step ahead of us, let them explore the way. Why not?"
But Peng Changsheng completely disagreed with the decision of Shang Yunsu and Zuo Shisan:
"No, absolutely not! We must catch up with those people as soon as possible to prevent them from finding Ge Hong's tomb before us. Once these people violently open the tomb, they will cause huge and irreversible damage to the history and cultural relics underground.
harm!"
Hearing what Peng Changsheng said, Fatty couldn't control his emotions and opened his mouth and said:
"Captain Peng, do you think the comfort of our group's lives is more important or the cultural relics in the underground tomb?"
After hearing what the fat man said, Peng Changsheng looked at him and asked:
"Comrade Xiao Hu, why is your life in danger? You were here just now telling me that you can solve problems by yourself when you meet that group of people. Why do you really want to take action, but you say such things?"
The fat man was immediately blocked by Peng Changsheng's words.
At this time Zuo Shisan stood up and said:
"Stop arguing. Since the captain of our team is Captain Peng, we should listen to him. Since we have already arrived, it will be a matter of time before we have a head-on conflict with them."
Shang Yunsu also said:
"That's right, then everyone just listen to Captain Peng. Let's set off immediately and chase the group ahead at full speed."
The fat man wanted to say something at this time, but Zuo Shisan glared at him.
So the team set off again. On the way, the fat man couldn't hold it back anymore, so he whispered to Zuo Shisan:
"Brother, I really don't understand why you always defend that old antique? Although he has certain expertise in archeology and historical research, the decisions he makes on other matters may not always be correct."
