Shen Wanjin glanced at the surrounding river surface and wondered: "Are they all dead? Have they sunk to the bottom of the river?"
Yan Shuangyu and the others also looked at Long Chen.
After searching for so long, I didn't see the bodies of Ji Ba and the elders. I only found the body of a guard who was drowned.
"possible."
Long Chen put down the telescope, and four large wine jars with a total of forty kilograms of gunpowder exploded within one meter. Even if they were martial emperors, they would definitely be seriously injured.
The air wave of the explosion instantly seriously injured three people, and at the same time blew the big ship into two pieces, and then broke into pieces.
If the three people were seriously injured, they could only sink into the river. The river was very fast and there was a possibility of drowning.
Of course, this is an ideal situation.
When he was at the dock, Long Chen felt someone hiding on the shore.
Those people must be secretly guarding me.
Ji Ba's big boat was sailing in the river, and these people were escorting it on the shore.
Therefore, it is entirely possible that Ji Ba was rescued ashore, but was seriously injured and did not die.
"Then are we still looking for it?"
You Fengyi asked.
Shen Wanjin looked at Long Chen.
"I must see his body, otherwise it will not be considered a success!"
Long Chen's tone was very firm.
Qian Cheng looked at the vast water and said in embarrassment: "But what's the matter? If it sinks to the bottom of the river, it will take two days to surface."
"The river is so fast that it is likely to be carried hundreds of miles downstream. In addition, the eels in the river eat their flesh, and only the bones may be left to sink to the bottom of the river."
Sishui's river eels are famous for their tender meat and they like to eat carrion.
If a corpse falls in, it is usually impossible to find it.
That's why Qian Cheng said this.
Long Chen shook his head slightly and said: "He is the uncrowned king. I won't worry if I don't see the body!"
The two sailors tied to the boat were very quiet and did not speak.
Long Chen turned to look at the two of them, squatted down and said, "Do you recognize me?"
The two sailors shook their heads at the same time: "We don't know each other, we have never met, and we don't know anything."
They thought this answer was very clever, but Long Chen sneered: "Don't recognize me? Your dog eyes have grown white!"
"I dug out your dog's eyes and fed them to the fish."
Long Chen pulled out a dagger and was about to dig out his eyes. The sailor was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "I recognize you, you are from Dazhu Kingdom, the first scribe and the first general!"
This wave of flattery is somewhat interesting.
"If you know who I am, then you also know what I am doing!"
"Now I ask you, where is Ji Ba!"
The tip of Long Chen's dagger pierced the sailor's nostril, causing blood to flow out.
"President, he sank into the river and we couldn't save him."
The sailor replied tremblingly.
"There were 22 people on your boat at that time. How many died? Are you the only two who escaped?"
Long Chen counted the number of people on the boat at that time.
The sailor said with a cry: "Dazhu Kingdom, how could we remember to invite you?"
"The boat suddenly exploded and we were swept into the river by a wave of air."
"Others were also rushed into the river, and no one could care about anyone else."
"We were lucky at the bow, but the middle one was gone."
Shen Wanjin was a little confused and asked, "What's the use of threatening them now?"
Long Chen ignored Shen Wanjin and continued to interrogate the two sailors.
"Didn't the people on the shore come down to save people?"
"Your president sank into the river, and they just ran away?"
Long Chen asked fiercely.
The two of them looked a little panicked and hesitantly said: "We don't know when we are in the water."
Long Chen grabbed a sailor and threw it into the river.
Poof!
The sailor made a splash, then nothing more...
With his hands and feet tied, no matter how good the water quality is, he will still die.
"Say it again! If I can't find anyone, it's useless to keep you!"
Long Chen stared at the remaining sailors and said.
The sailor was so frightened that he trembled all over, with tears and runny eyes running down his face, and begged: "Dazhu Kingdom, we are just servants, please spare our lives."
Long Chen said sternly: "Tell me, where is Ji Ba! Spare your life!"
"As long as I kill Ji Ba, no one will take revenge on you!"
"If you don't tell me, go die now!"
The sailor sobbed: "The president was rescued, but the two elders are dead!"
Shen Wanjin and the others looked at Long Chen in shock, not expecting to actually ask.
Long Chen drew his knife and cut the rope, and helped the sailor sit up.
"Tell me about the situation at that time. Where did you land?"
Long Chen patted the sailor to calm him down.
The sailor cried: "Shortly after we left the dock, there was a sudden explosion and the cabin broke. All the people in the cabin were seriously injured. Everyone who was close to us was injured and fell into the water. We were also washed into the water by the air waves."
"Four people flew out from the shore. They plunged into the water, found the president and took him away."
"The two elders are missing. They must be dead."
"Everyone else is probably dead. Only two of us were left with minor injuries on the bow of the boat. We picked up driftwood to survive."
Shen Wanjin asked coldly: "Where did you land!"
The sailor said: "There is a river upstream, and they came ashore from the mouth of the river."
Not far from the explosion site, there is a small river that flows into Sishui.
Yan Shuangyu suddenly realized: "No wonder there were no traces of water on the shore. They walked along the river."
When Long Chen chased after him, he carefully observed whether there were any traces of water on the shore.
If someone came out of the water, there would be traces of water on the shore, but none was found.
It turned out that it was going upstream from the river.
Shen Wanjin said in a deep voice: "What a thoughtful thought."
The ship suddenly exploded and Ji Ba was in critical condition. Shen Wanjin admired how he could act so calmly at this time.
"Dock!"
You Fengyi said anxiously.
Qian Cheng immediately docked the ship.
Boating against the current is too slow, it is faster to walk back to the shore.
The sailor trembled. He had finished what he said and the value had been used. He didn't know if Long Chen would keep his promise.
Long Chen quietly took out an elixir from his body, picked up the sailor and slapped it on the face, then threw it into the river.
"You don't mean what you say?"
Shen Wanjin sneered.
Long Chen chuckled and said, "They deserve to die!"
Long Chen gave the sailors medicine and threw them into the river to prevent them from drowning.
If he is brought ashore, Shen Wanjin will definitely not let him go.
Long Chen keeps his word!
When the boat docked, Long Chen and the others immediately rushed back and soon arrived at the river.
"Spread out on both sides!"
Long Chen was on the left, Shen Wanjin and the others were on the right, searching up the river.
After searching the shore for more than a mile, a bloody water mark was found.
"it's here!"
Yan Shuangyu said in a low voice.
Long Chen immediately flew over and squatted down to examine it carefully.
There is no sun today, the water stains have not completely dried, and there are blood stains.
"Eight footprints, very messy, went to the southeast."
Shen Wanjin squinted his eyes and looked forward.
The sailor just now did not lie. There were four of us and we were walking on a mountain road.
"Chase!"
Long Chen did not hesitate and was the first to follow the water traces and pursue him.
Three rich envoys are waiting for the order of Shen Wanjin.
There are four rescuers here, just in case there is someone in front to help...
"Walk!"
Shen Wanjin set off anyway and followed Long Chen forward.
Long Chen was in front, following the water traces and mountain roads.
But soon it was discovered that the trace was missing.
Weeds and shrubs covered the traces of water, and the places where people stepped on them were restored.
Rescuers have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities.
