Chapter 723
Ying Yusheng saw neither the dead nor the dead, and all the principals stayed at sea, searching for his trace.
At this time, the naval soldier who reported the letter first landed from Lingnan and then rushed to Xianyang without stopping.
After Xiao He and the others learned of the shocking news, they immediately blocked it.
Before this news is confirmed, it must not be spread, otherwise the world of Daqin will definitely be in chaos.
At the same time, Xiao He also immediately sent people to the Lingnan port as quickly as possible to verify the authenticity of the matter.
At this time, the envoys from Xianyang also arrived at the port of Lingnan.
The person in charge is Liu Bang.
When they arrived, it happened to be the time when Daqin's fleet docked.
With the highest order from Xianyang Palace, Liu Bang directly launched an investigation into the matter.
The team leader was also very puzzled when he knew about it.
They have already rushed back from the sea as fast as possible, but why did the news spread to Xianyang before they even arrived.
If this is the case, it means that someone has already arrived at the shore one step ahead of the fleet, and reported the matter to Xianyang.
But is such a thing possible?
The person in charge of the fleet naturally told Liu Bang who came to investigate the doubts in his heart.
The person who can be sent here by Xiao He is naturally the most loyal person in Ying Yu's faction.
Xiao He also handed over many secret matters to Liu Bang, now that he already knew about it, he would definitely not take it lightly.
So the two parties began to exchange information.
The person in charge of the fleet immediately began to investigate.
The first thing is to see who is absent from the staffing of their ship.
After a rigorous investigation, the person in charge found that all the crew members of the fleet were there, and no one left without permission.
In the big storm before, almost all the people who died at the bottom of the sea were soldiers.
"If this is the case, then the soldier who sent the order must not be pretending to be a staff member on your ship. He is most likely a real navy soldier."
"But the naval soldiers who accompanied His Majesty are still staying in place to search. This matter has not yet been confirmed, and the highest officer has not yet issued an order. How dare he spread this matter?"
The two were silent for a moment, and both had answers in their hearts.
As for the reason behind it, it doesn't matter at this time. The most important thing now is to confirm Ying Yu's safety.
The three of Xiao He had already seen through the lie of the navy soldier.
He was so anxious to report this matter to Xianyang, which only explained one problem, and he hoped it was true.
Naturally, everyone hoped that Ying Yu would be safe and sound, but in fact they couldn't avoid a problem.
It was the news that the navy soldier sent back, and it might be true.
After all, a few days have passed, and the navy that stayed on the local sea to search for Ying Yu has not returned any good news.
At this time, if no news comes back, it is tantamount to bad news.
Liu Bang, who came to investigate this matter, naturally couldn't just wait for them to come back on the shore.
He immediately sent people to prepare the ship, and he couldn't wait until the next day, and set off on the spot to the place where Ying Yu's big ship wrecked.
He came here to investigate the truth of this incident, so no matter whether Ying Yu can come back safely, he must go to the scene to have a look.
When he departed from Lingnan Port, he took a fast boat. This fast boat was much smaller, but it was also equipped with a steam engine.
The speed was several times faster than these big ships transporting rubber, so it didn't take long for him to come to the place where the storm happened.
This piece of sea area is unremarkable, there are no reefs, no undercurrents, and no unusual terrain.
It is indeed unpredictable that such a big storm will suddenly occur in such a place.
When Liu Bang arrived here, he could see dozens of ships scattered on the sea from a distance, and soldiers kept jumping into the sea to search.
When you find the person in charge here, you don't need to ask, Liu Bang already knows the answer from his face.
Liu Bang's meticulous mind is not comparable to that of ordinary people. At the same time, he also has the characteristic of being calm in times of crisis and knowing what he should do.
So at this time, the first thing he has to do is to get down to business.
He directly took out the information of the navy soldier who had been interrogated in Xianyang a few days ago, and asked the responsible naval officer to investigate this person.
For this matter, the person in charge of the army also attaches great importance to it.
After getting the soldier's information, he immediately ordered people to start an investigation from top to bottom.
It didn't take long to investigate, and the results came out.
This soldier was indeed a member of their navy.
On Ying Yu's boat at that time, when Ying Yu ordered most of the people to rescue the cargo ship full of rubber, this soldier was not among the people sent out.
So it means that when the big ship that Ying Yu was on sank to the bottom of the sea, the soldier also fell into the sea.
In that storm, none of the soldiers who were injured got on board alive.
After repeated searches in the past few days, they also salvaged a lot of corpses.
But there are still many people whose whereabouts are still unknown, of course including their Emperor Ying Yu.
After hearing the news, Liu Bang didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately asked:
"Is this soldier among the salvaged bodies?"
Hearing this, the person in charge of the navy was a little stunned, and then immediately understood: "I haven't noticed this matter yet, I will investigate it right away."
Because they salvaged these soldiers, they just wanted them to at least return to their homeland for burial, and they didn't expect such a thing to happen at the time.
So they haven't had time to confirm the information about the soldiers' corpses.
After all, the most important thing now is to find Ying Yu's trace.
But now that such a big thing has naturally happened, there can be no further delay.
He immediately sent people to search for information about the dead bodies of these soldiers.
Soon after, the officer came to Liu Bang again.
At this moment, his face was sinking like water, and his face was much uglier than before.
Seeing this, Liu Bang knew that something terrible must have happened, so he hurriedly asked, "How? What happened?"
"It's a strange thing to say, my lord."
The officer didn't dare to be too secretive, and then said, "After checking the information of these salvaged soldiers, I found... I found... the soldier you brought was among them."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Bang was also shocked immediately.
This matter is indeed not simple, it seems that, as Xiao He said, someone is secretly manipulating everything.
