Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 385 The promise that cannot be given

"Ah? You...you mean..." Shen Xingran backed away in a daze, unable to believe it.

"Brother Shen," Xu Zun asked, "When the mission was attacked, did you know about lemon toxin? Did you know that the sea monsters you encountered were all fake?"

"No... I don't know, I don't know anything," Shen Xingran said, "The crown prince didn't tell us anything about Zongmeng, he just told us about the plan and that we would be attacked, but what exactly will happen? We don't know about the attack, how... how could this happen? Why didn't I think of it?"

"How could it be such a coincidence," Xu Zun explained, "Kong Zhen has already mastered the method of controlling the lemon toxin, but still let you go to Gufeng Island?
"Don't they know that Gufeng Island is the birthplace of Prunes?"

"You mean," Shen Xingran said tremblingly, "Kong Zhen did that on purpose, she wanted us all to die on Gufeng Island?"

"It's the prince, wake up, brother Shen!" Xu Zun shook his head and sighed, "The prince's plan is not to let you wait for the opportunity, but to use Gufeng Island to kill you all!"

"No...how...how did this happen?" Shen Xingran trembled all over, his face turned pale.

"Because you know too much," Xu Zun said, "Whether Tianjie succeeds or fails, you will become his stumbling block!"

"He..." Shen Xingran was stunned, "He even..."

"The Crown Princess is the Empress Dowager's person," Xu Zun said, "From the beginning to the end, the Crown Prince didn't want her to live.

"It's just that he didn't expect that there would be someone on Gufeng Island! If Wang Dian hadn't set up a ring there, and if we hadn't happened to go to Gufeng Island, then you would never have figured it out!"

"It's...it's like this...the prince..." Shen Xingran clenched his fists, his panic turned into anger.

He finally saw the true face of the prince. He never thought that the prince's heart was so vicious, and he was not only kept in the dark, but even worked hard for the prince until the last moment...

"Brother Shen," Xu Zun asked, "How did you spread the news?"

"The drifting bottle," Shen Xingran said, "the first time I came to Banshee Country, when no one was watching, I threw the drifting bottle with the secret letter into the sea, and there were gold coins in it. will be sent to the Banshee Palace."

"So," Xu Zun was not surprised, and asked, "You already knew that the crown prince and Kong Zhen conspired, and that the crown prince was in the palace of the Banshee Kingdom?"

Shen Xingran nodded.

"You really are the prince's senior confidant!" Xu Zun sighed.

"Senior confidant, ha ha..." Shen Xingran smiled wryly, "The senior confidant doesn't even know about lemon toxin, what a big joke! Ha ha..."

Seeing Shen Xingran's wry smile, Xu Zun felt very uncomfortable.

Why didn't he know that there were many people with higher rank than Shen Xingran on the Fuju Ship that day, and among those people there must be someone from the prince.

But now, Shen Xingran obviously wants to take all the blame on himself, and doesn't want to drag more people into the water.

"That was the first time," Shen Xingran said, "I reported all the situation on Gufeng Island and the situation on board.

"So, Kong Zhen already knew about our plan to go to Niwantan to capture Hei Boyu."

"What about the second time?" Xu Zun asked again, "How many hours ago?"

"Yes," Shen Xingran replied, "I threw the drifting bottle off the boat before the boat docked, to show you through the siren's tricks, defeat Hei Boyu, and the warriors who are about to let warriors pretend to be wounded to sneak into the palace." The plan is all explained."

"Oh..." Xu Zun nodded, "Kong Zhen knew we were coming, so there must be eyeliners around our boat, so he would find the secret letter soon."

"Wait..." Shen Xingran realized something again, and asked excitedly, "Jiying, did you already know that I have a problem? Otherwise, how could you..."

"Yes," Xu Zun nodded, "Although I was very reluctant, I still ordered someone to reveal false news to you. Those soldiers are actually pirates and pirates captured by us."

"Okay, great, great..." Shen Xingran nodded first, then raised his head and asked, "Jiying, let me ask one last question, how did the crown prince die?"

At this time, Xu Zun naturally didn't need to hide it, so he told Shen Xingran about the prince's murder.

When Shen Xingran learned that the prince's overall plan had been completely controlled by Xu Zun, his expression became more gloomy and dignified.

"Blood Fiend Palm..." Shen Xingran frowned and shook his head, then thought of something, "Could it be... the Queen Mother?"

Facing Shen Xingran's question, Xu Zun didn't answer, and couldn't answer, but just looked at Shen Xingran with a complicated expression.

"Understood! It doesn't matter to me who the crown prince dies at!" Shen Xingran closed his eyes, "Okay, Jiying, winner and loser, I..."

Unexpectedly, before Shen Xingran finished speaking, he heard the sound of hinges rattling, and when he opened his eyes to look again, he found that Xu Zun had actually cut off the cable with his sword and lowered the lifeboat.

"Brother Shen," Xu Zun said with difficulty, "jump down and get on the boat, my people won't stop you!"

"You?" Shen Xingran couldn't believe his eyes, first he leaned on the railing and glanced at the boat, then turned around and asked, "Are you really going to let me go?"

Xu Zun nodded affirmatively: "The Shen family owes me as much as a mountain, now that Duke Shen is lost, how can we lose Eldest Brother again?"

"This..." Shen Xingran's eyes widened, and after thinking for a moment, he pressed Xu Zun's shoulder and said, "Good brother! You will always be my good brother!"

"Let's go!" Xu Zun said, "Take care of yourself, maybe in the future, we brothers will have a chance to meet."

"Okay!" Shen Xingran nodded resolutely, turned around, but thought of something, stretched out his hand and said, "Jiying, I don't have anything, why don't you keep your sword for me!"

"Okay!" Without thinking too much, Xu Zun directly handed the sword to Shen Xingran, and at the same time wanted to take out a few gold ingots and give them to him together.

However, he never expected that just as Shen Xingran took the sword, he gripped the hilt tightly with both hands and stabbed the point of the sword into his chest!

"Ah!?" Xu Zun was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but all this happened too suddenly, and it was too late.

Shen Xingran ruthlessly stabbed the sword edge into his body, until it didn't reach the hilt.

"Brother Shen! Brother Shen!" Xu Zun supported Shen Xingran who was about to collapse, and asked loudly, "Why are you doing this!?"

"Ji...Jiying..." Shen Xingran grabbed Xu Zun's arm firmly, and expressed his intention with the last of his strength, "I'm not dead, you are to blame. If I die, you will be famous!
"Only if you have the right... can you keep my younger brothers and sisters, answer... promise me, take care of my younger brothers and sisters... answer... answer..."

He could no longer utter the word "Ying" at the end, the rise and fall of his chest became slower and slower, and his pupils gradually expanded.

At this time, Xu Zun's heart was pierced by a knife, he wanted to happily agree to Shen Xingran's last request.

However, when he thought of the scene where Shen Gong was killed in the Xinye County Yamen, and the prince Li Xun who died tragically under the hands of Xue Fiend, he had no choice but to fall into a state of grief, so that until Shen Xingran died without a word of regret, he He just stayed there dumbly, without making any promises...
