Chapter 296
Everything is about to begin.

Wei Ying clearly realized that the world would be in chaos soon.Just like what she planned before, to disrupt this peaceful and prosperous world and seize his country.

She didn't know what kind of chaos would be in Wu's country since then, and how many innocent people would die because of her...

Isn't this what she has been looking forward to?On the day when her elder brother takes over the world, she must kill the man who has been ravaging her all this time with her own hands, cut off his head, hang it on the tower of the royal city, and then she will return to Wei State in a graceful and unrestrained manner. She wants to be a princess under one person and above ten thousand people, and then choose the most handsome and talented man in the world to be her son-in-law, marry him and have children, and live a romantic life...

This is the motivation for her to stay with Zhaojun all the time.These were the things she had in mind whenever she served him.

But why didn't she feel a little bit of surprise at this moment?
Even when she heard his sigh just now, her heart ached, but Wei Ying didn't have a heart at all, so how could it hurt?

Finally arrived at the place where the accident happened, beside the river, the salvaged corpses were lined up on the bank one by one, with their faces covered with a white cloth, there were nine corpses in total, four of them belonged to maidservants, that is to say, there were only five corpses of Xiu Niang, and there were only five of them. There are 23 embroidered girls who are still alive or dead... There are many salvage boats on the river, and the sailors on them are wearing two different colors of military uniforms. They are sailors from different kingdoms of Shu and Wu.

The officials of the State of Wu who were in charge of the salvage work stood by the river to greet them early, and the officials of the State of Shu also stood aside.

"How is it? Has the sunken ship been salvaged?" Zhaojun asked with concern.

An official from the state of Wu said: "We found the location of the sunken ship, but due to the deep silt at the bottom and the large size of the sunken ship, the sunken ship sank deeply into the mud. This area is also a deep water area, and diving is very difficult. Ropes were fixed at several points on the wreck, and a dozen boats were used for traction, but the wreck was still not pulled out of the mud."

"How was the weather in the area where the ship sank yesterday?" Zhaojun glanced at the officials of Shu.

The man bowed and said: "It was sunny in the morning, but it rained a little in the afternoon, and there was some fog on the river."

Zhaojun was thoughtful, and a pair of obsidian-like sharp and deep eyes swept over them: "Why do you think the ship sank?"

"Well, there may be many reasons for this." The official of the Shu Kingdom said: "It may be due to the bad weather on the water yesterday afternoon, the ship deviated from the course during driving, and hit an underwater reef, or it may be that the air pressure was too low yesterday afternoon. The big fish in the deep water floated to the surface, and the shoal of fish knocked the boat over. There may also be a problem with the quality of the boat itself. For example, the hull is damaged and cannot sail for such a long distance, or the ship is overloaded. ..."

The sailors of Wu State immediately said: "This is the second largest ship in my Wu State. It can carry hundreds of people. It is absolutely impossible to be overloaded. Besides, it has been such a long-distance voyage more than once. More than half a month ago, it even carried Some goods were transported to Wei State."

Zhaojun was slightly startled: "What did you say? This ship has been to Wei State? What did it transport, and where did it go to Wei State?" Zhaojun asked, but before the officers and soldiers could answer, they suddenly heard someone shout, " The survivors are coming!"

Zhaojun's expression tightened, and he turned his head to see two soldiers and a woman who was wet from head to toe walking towards him.

The woman was pale and looked very weak. When she walked over, she looked around and shouted in panic, "Miss? Miss?"

A Shu soldier who was with the woman stepped forward and said to the Shu official: "My lord, this is the woman who just came to the Yamen to report to the officials. She claimed to be the accompanying family members of the ship. The lady fell into the river, and she also fell into it at that time, and was rescued by fishermen after drifting for dozens of miles. After she was rescued, she immediately came to the Yamen to report to the official, hoping to find someone to save their lady. .”

"Bring her here." Zhaojun said.

"Yes."

The woman was immediately brought in front of Zhaojun, who asked, "Which house are you a girl from?"

"The maidservant is the personal servant girl of the second lady in the Taiwei's mansion. She grew up with the young lady. This time, the young lady was sent to Shu Kingdom to participate in the embroidery competition. I went with the young lady and served her. I didn't expect..." said the girl Then, crying again, "I didn't expect that the boat would capsize on the way, and the life and death of the second miss is uncertain... The second miss is the most beloved lady of the master and madam. If the miss can't be found, how much the master and madam know Sad."

"How did the boat capsize?" Zhaojun asked.

"There was a big hole in the bottom of the boat. When it was halfway through, the water suddenly leaked. It was only a little bit at first, but then it leaked more and more. We kept taking basins and buckets to bail out the water on the boat. But the hole was getting worse and worse. The bigger it was, the water rose too fast, and we didn't have time to scoop it up, so we could only watch the boat sink."

"It was just a small hole at the beginning, but then it got bigger and bigger?" Zhaojun frowned and thought, "How long did it take from the discovery of the leak to the sinking of the ship?"

"An hour."

"Only an hour?"

"At that time, after the captain found out that there was a water leak, he tried his best to get to the shore. We kept throwing the things on the boat down, but it was too late. In the end, the water gushed too fast." He started to cry, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and begged: "Please, please, please save our young lady, and find our young lady!"

"We will do our best." The Shu official in charge of salvage said.

Zhaojun frowned, lost in thought.

An hour, just an hour, when the weather was calm, a ship of that size completely sank, there must be something strange about it.

It was just said that the last time this ship went to Wei State, could it be that something was wronged in Wei State?However, even if the hands and feet were moved, the ship sailed back safely.There is no problem in the long road from Wei State to Wu State...

"Before this ship went to Wei State, what was it transporting?" Zhaojun asked the Wu official who had just answered.

"Rice," the official replied.

Wei Ying, who was on the side, suddenly "thumped" in her heart.

"30 taels of rice."

"Why did you transport so much rice to Wei?" Zhaojun was surprised.

"I don't know about this lower official. I only know that a rice merchant in my court paid a lot of money to ship this ship. It seems that the merchants of Wei State paid a lot of money to buy our country's rice. A lot of money!"

Zhaojun's face gradually darkened.

Wei Rong, what the hell is he up to?
