Chapter 1633: Can’t Recognize the Face and the Voice?
The water is thousands of meters deep. It is definitely not a good idea to go into the water rashly. The national teacher was about to persuade him, but Prince Lin had already ordered two guards who were familiar with water to go into the water immediately.
The two guards hesitated. Li Qin said coldly beside them: "The prince has ordered, why are you still hesitating?"
The national teacher frowned and interrupted: "It is difficult for living people to go into the deep sea. Even if they are good at swimming, they will inevitably have difficulty when they go to the bottom of the water. Your Majesty, why don't you..."
Prince Lin raised his hand and interrupted the national teacher: "The national teacher has a heart of a bodhisattva, but if you don't go into the water to investigate, how can you know whether the place is right? Since they are my people, it is natural for them to be loyal to me."
The rich and powerful treat their subordinates like cats and dogs. The national teacher thought that Liu Wei and others were facing the same situation, but because they were well aware of the difficulties underwater, they did not agree that anyone would go into the water rashly. Therefore, after making a fuss for several days, they still stood still. They originally thought that Prince Lin had some tricks to identify the direction without going into the water, so they sent him to approach and trap him, but unexpectedly, Prince Lin seemed to have no way.
But this Li Qin... The national teacher couldn't figure out his depth for a while.
Now it seems that the person who helped Prince Lin behind the scenes should be this Li Qin, but Li Qin is a playboy, what does he know, and why does he have this ability?
After a while, the two people sent by Prince Lin into the water floated up together, both of them were flushed, obviously holding their breath for too long and breathing was not smooth.
Prince Lin hurriedly asked them if they had found anything, but the two just shook their heads and said with difficulty: "I am incompetent and can't sink to the bottom."
Water has buoyancy. If you want to go to the bottom, your weight must exceed the buoyancy.
Prince Lin obviously knew this, and then he ordered: "Come on, tie two iron stones to each of them."
There are iron stones to stabilize the sails on the boat, but this thing is too heavy, and swimming with it will undoubtedly cost people's lives.
The Imperial Master couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to stop them, but Li Qin stopped him at this moment, his eyes were cold and his voice was sinister: "Is the Imperial Master guilty? Is this not the site? Are you afraid that they will find nothing after the investigation and expose your lies?"
"How can this be!" The Imperial Master scolded: "Don't slander me!"
"If it's not, just wait patiently. You are just making people suspicious."
The two guards went into the water again, and this time they didn't come up for a long time.
It was not until nearly a quarter of an hour that Prince Lin ordered people to pull the rope and pull the two people back alive, but when they pulled them back, they found that both of them had died.
It was agreed before going into the water that once they found something, they would pull the rope, and the people on the boat would naturally pull them up, but the two sank for a full quarter of an hour, and no one pulled the rope, which means that the water was like there was no bottom. After a quarter of an hour, they didn't sink to the bottom.
Now that both of them are dead, Prince Lin looked at Li Qin with a bad face, "Sir, do you have any other ideas?"
Li Qin's greatest status is that he is the eldest son of Prime Minister Li Zhao, but Prince Lin calls him Sir when he is with him, which shows that he respects Li Qin as a person, not for his father's face. This makes Li Qin very satisfied. He pondered for a moment and turned his eyes to the national teacher: "Why did the national teacher determine that this is the location of the ruins?"
The national teacher was in a bad mood because two people died, and looked away and said: "The gods in the dream guided me."
Prince Lin reminded: "It's the Water Dragon King..."
Prince Lin obviously also informed Li Qin about the Water Dragon King.
Li Qin nodded and said, "Since the gods have given some hints, why not ask again and see if the gods have any other solutions?"
"Ask the gods?" The national master sneered, "Are the gods your servants in the Li Mansion? You can call them and send them away at will. Before you speak, don't you think about it, Mr. Li?"
Li Qin stared at the national master quietly, and his expression changed: "The national master seems to have a lot of opinions about Li?"
The national master pointed to the two corpses on the deck: "Two lives are here, who else do you want to be nice to you, Mr. Li?"
Li Qin sneered, "Is it really the gods who are in charge of you? People who are blessed by spirits are truly compassionate. Does the national teacher know that a general's success is achieved at the cost of thousands of lives? People who are reluctant to sacrifice one or two lives are destined to achieve nothing. "
"That depends on whether these two lives are worth sacrificing."
"What does the national teacher think is worth sacrificing and what is not worth sacrificing?"
"Mr. Li, I am not interested in arguing with you. I have brought you to the place. Whether you can dig out the ruins depends on your ability. Your Majesty, please excuse me while I leave first."
The national teacher left after he finished speaking. Prince Lin wanted to call him back, but he probably worried about Li Qin and did not speak.
After the Imperial Master had completely walked away, Li Qin slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the worried Prince Lin, saying, "Your Highness, send someone."
Prince Lin paused: "Mr. Li means..."
Li Qin nodded: "This is the location of the ruins, and we can send people to dig."
"Really?" Prince Lin was delighted, and then looked at the bodies of the guards on the deck, and couldn't help complaining: "Since the master has already calculated it, why bother to let these two people die, isn't this..."
"How can we test that what the Imperial Master said is true without these two lives?"
Prince Lin had nothing to say, so he could only nod: "Then, they died for what they deserved."
Li Qin was very satisfied with Prince Lin's support for him. He nodded profoundly and turned back to the cabin.
At night, everything was silent.
The Imperial Master was lying on the bed, about to fall asleep, but heard a rustling sound coming from the corridor outside the room. He became alert and carefully got off the bed, stuck to the door, and moved behind it.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
The Imperial Master carefully opened half of the door and poked half of his eyes out.
I saw two unfamiliar guards outside. They had knives on their waists. The one standing in the front frowned when he saw the door open, and whispered softly: "Why are you so slow?"
The Imperial Master looked suspicious.
The guard pushed him into the room, then locked the door behind him.
The Imperial Master's eyes suddenly widened, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. Could it be that he had no use value after telling the location of the ruins, and Prince Lin wanted to get rid of him quickly, just like that hot chicken Liu Wei?
After thinking about it, the Imperial Master quickly took out the self-defense dagger from under the pillow and pointed the tip of the knife at the two guards: "What do you want to do!"
The two guards looked at each other. The older one stepped forward and handed over the dagger with his hands. He glared at the Imperial Master and said, "What are you making a fuss about? If you make it louder, the whole ship will hear it."
Seeing that the weapon was gone, the Imperial Master's eyes flashed with panic. He tried his best to calm down, but now that he was unarmed, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense...
When he was considering whether to open the window and jump off the ship to escape, the younger guard said "Oh" as if he had realized something, then pushed the older guard's shoulder and said, "He doesn't know us."
The older guard paused after hearing this, then he touched his face and said, "I forgot." Then he lowered his voice and said to the Imperial Master, "It's me, Wei Chou, I can't recognize my face. Can’t you hear the sound?”
The Imperial Master blinked in confusion, and then watched helplessly as the older guard lifted his face, revealing a very annoying and familiar face.
