Chapter 706 No Possibility of Reconciliation
Just as Ji Yunshu had expected, Zhao Shen had guessed early on that Prince Yong would definitely plant spies in the navy.
So the first thing Wei Zheng did when he returned to the navy was to check the people in the army.
But this is destined not to be an easy thing.
It is difficult for the spies planted by Prince Yong to find any problems.
Just like Lu Ningshuang, Yao Shi, and even Liu Yan, there is no problem with their identities and backgrounds.
But Wei Zheng also knew that he did not understand Prince Yong as well as Zhao Shen. Since he said so, he must have his reasons.
I can only be patient and check it over and over again.
When he was busy and overwhelmed, the Japanese pirates came.
When Wei Zheng suddenly received the news that Japanese pirates had come ashore to rob the people, he immediately understood King Yong's intention.
The navy was not large in number, and they could not spare any men to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates.
Wei Zheng has been in the navy for many years, fighting against Japanese pirates.
It can be said that we hate the Japanese pirates to the core.
When he learned that Prince Yong had colluded with the Japanese pirates to protect himself and allowed them to plunder the people of Daxia, he wished he could stab them to death with a single blow.
When Zhao Shen received his letter, he saw that it was full of insults against King Yong, and he couldn't help laughing.
Jingzhe, who was following Zhao Shen, also laughed after reading the letter and said, "Lord Wei is still as hot-tempered as before."
Zhao Shen put the letter away. "It's easy to change a country, but hard to change one's nature. His personality is quite suitable for the army."
Jingzhe was a little worried: "But the Marquis has feelings for the people in the army and is unwilling to investigate the spies in a high-profile manner. I am worried that he will suffer the consequences."
Zhao Shen pondered, "You still don't know him well enough. He's reluctant to investigate publicly, not out of consideration for the camaraderie among his fellow soldiers, but out of fear of alerting the enemy. Don't worry, he'll take care of it."
Jingzhe: "Really?"
Qi Zheng gave him the impression that he was not a scheming and calculating person.
"Of course, you see he spent the entire letter scolding Prince Yong and didn't ask me what to do next. This shows he has a plan in mind."
They are at sea now, and communications are not actually secure.
Jingzhe breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was really worried that he would get angry and go after Prince Yong to fight him."
Zhao Shen laughed. "That's hard to say. These pirates arrived at the perfect time. Prince Yong wants to use them to slow us down, which is exactly what I want."
Xiao Kun wanted to try to deal with King Yong on his own, and Zhao Shen thought this was a good idea.
Prince Yong is too cunning. It is impossible to fight him fairly.
He has endless trump cards and back-up plans.
As long as he doesn't die, he will be in trouble.
They haven't figured out what kind of defenses are on that island yet, but it's definitely not simple.
It would be a good thing if Xiao Kun could get rid of the person directly.
Jingzhe was a little surprised: "You seem to trust Prince Yong very much?"
They also knew something about Xiao Kun's feelings for Ji Yunshu.
Although they should be rivals in love, Zhao Shen never seemed to have any hostility towards Xiao Kun.
Zhao Shen was in a daze for a moment before he slowly said, "We have the same goal. There is no possibility of reconciliation between him and Prince Yong."
Xiao Kun liked the original Ji Yunshu, but that girl died in King Yong's conspiracy, both in her past life and this life.
Sometimes, Zhao Shen felt that he could understand Xiao Kun. He must be the person in the world who most wanted Prince Yong to die.
Jingzhe didn't know how Zhao Shen came to this conclusion, but he always believed in Zhao Shen's judgment.
"That's good. If anything goes wrong with Prince Yong, Madam will be in danger."
He muttered.
When Zhao Shen heard him mention Ji Yunshu, his expression softened unconsciously: "I don't know how she is doing?"
Jingzhe complained: "You are obviously worried about your wife, so why did you let her go? In fact, you can find a woman to disguise herself. Prince Yong is not familiar with your wife, so there is no way he can recognize her."
Zhao Shen shook his head: "She wanted to go on her own. She has her own ideas and can't stay by my side forever. This is normal."
Jingzhe felt that this was not normal at all. Whose wife didn't always stay in the backyard, and her husband could see her whenever he wanted?
However, the prince's thoughts have always been different from those of ordinary people, and this problem has become even more serious after he married his wife.
Now, even he, who has been with the prince since childhood, doesn't know what he is thinking.
"It's good that you understand. What should we do next?"
Zhao Shen pinched his brows and said, "There are quite a few Japanese pirates coming this time. Let's deal with this group first."
Jingzhe laughed and said, "Lord Qi loves to do things like this. But Prince Yong doesn't care?"
Zhao Shen said, "Prince Yong has planted troops in the navy. If we move, the Japanese pirates will come. I'm afraid the navy won't be able to spare any manpower to go after him in the short term. But this is not a big deal. I have my own arrangements."
Jingzhe blinked his confused eyes. He was always with the prince, so how could he not know what arrangements he had made?
Zhao Shen wanted to knock him on the forehead, but the moment he raised his hand, he thought of something and retracted his hand.
He sighed and explained, "Didn't I ask you to investigate the water bandits before? The leader of the bandits who's in league with Prince Yong is a new official who took office in the past two years. But it's said that the bandits' current scale and strength are all thanks to one man: the legendary Water Dragon King Zheng Yi. Where do you think he went?"
Jingzhe didn't understand why he suddenly brought this up, but he still said, "He's probably dead. There are so many factions among the pirates, and it's a mess. It's a pity, though. It is said that Zheng Yi was a very chivalrous man, and he never bullied the people. When he was alive, the pirates were not what they are now."
Zhao Shen said, "Didn't the people we interrogated earlier all say that he suddenly disappeared, not that he died. So I think there's a high possibility that he's still alive."
Some people are destined to be more useful alive than dead.
Zheng Yi is one of them.
Originally, there was a serious bandit problem along the coast and the river. It was this person who brought those people together and formed a huge force.
If someone kills a person like this, there is no reason not to make it public.
Zhao Shen felt that the fact that the other party made someone disappear actually meant that this person was still useful and could not be killed.
Jingzhe listened for a while, and finally his mind came to a light: "Do you think he is in the hands of Prince Yong?"
The current leader of the pirates is Prince Yong's man, so the predecessor is most likely in Prince Yong's hands.
Zhao Shen nodded: "Yes, he most likely has something to save his life, which is why Prince Yong kept him for so long."
Speaking of this, Jingzhe became interested: "What could it be?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "Let's see if we can find someone first."
Jingzhe: "Do you want to send a message to the Madam?"
"No, don't tell her about this, so she doesn't have to take risks. Let Xiao Kun find someone. Since it's a collaboration, he can't just do nothing."
Zhao Shen's fingers gently stroked the raised patterns on the teacup, and he spoke in a light tone.
Jingzhe: "Prince Yong was injured, and it seems that the injury is not light."
"He did it himself. He was measured. He won't die."
Jingzhe felt that it was indeed his illusion. How could Zhao Shen really have no objection to the fact that Prince Yong took his wife away?
