Hearing the news, Han Du's heart suddenly moved and he quickly asked: "What kind of fleet?"
The King of Java seemed to recall it carefully and said: "Their ships are large and strong, but they are not many in number, only three."
The size of the ship fits the characteristics of those people, but the quantity is wrong. Since those people were able to cultivate tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland, their number was still in the thousands. This small number of people cannot be taken away by just three ships, let alone the countless belongings they bring with them.
But this is at least a piece of news. What if after these people came to Nanyang, they left separately to avoid being caught up by me? This is not impossible.
"Where are the people?" Han Du continued to ask, "In which direction did they go?"
The King of Java smiled and said: "They did not leave. As soon as they arrived at the port, they had a conflict with the subordinate officials. Later, the father sent people to kill some of them and arrested the remaining dozen. They are all still there now." Locked up in a prison inside the royal city."
What conflicts? I'm afraid your father is motivated by wealth, right?
After all, according to Han Du's speculation, these people should be extremely rich. They ran to the Kingdom of Java, and they only had three ships. With only three ships, they were no different from a waiter carrying gold bricks in a busy city. It would be strange that the King of Java didn't want to take action against them.
Han Du has no time to think about whether the Javanese King is motivated by wealth. The most important thing now is to determine whether these people are the ones he is looking for.
"Then please ask the king to bring these people. It shouldn't be troublesome, right?"
"It's no trouble, it's just a trivial matter. If the angel has any needs, the little king will accept them." The King of Java said politely. He turned around and gave orders to the left and right, and there was another burst of chirping.
Han Du's head jumped when he heard this, and he secretly glanced at a person dressed as a guard behind him.
This person was Shi Jinqing. After he was appointed by Han Du as the ambassador of comfort in Old Port, he did not stay in Old Port without any worries, but chose to stay with Han Du.
Han Du was already troubled by the local language barrier. After hearing that Shi Jinqing was proficient in several languages, he agreed to take him with him. He even asked him to select a few people from the Shi family who were familiar with the language to follow him, trying to translate all the languages in Nanyang.
Seeing Han Du's gesture, Shi Jinqing secretly nodded to him, indicating that the Javanese prince had indeed given the order according to Han Du's instructions, and there was nothing wrong.
Han Du withdrew his gaze covertly and looked at him as if he trusted the King of Java very much.
This made the King of Java feel quite funny. He felt that the elder was making too much of a fuss. Such a character who can easily believe others even if he doesn't understand them, is he qualified to make him and the elder feel like they are facing a formidable enemy?
Just as the Javanese King was chatting with Han Du, the palace guards came back to report. After hearing this, the King of Java looked a little unhappy. He turned back to Han Du and said, "Forgive me, angel."
"What's wrong?" Han Du frowned, feeling a little worried that something had happened.
The King of Java sighed and said: "Since those people were imprisoned, no one has wanted to rescue them, so they have not paid attention to them until now. Only three people are dead now, and each one of them is dead." He is dying and may not live long. When the people below saw that the angel valued those few people so much, they did not dare to move without authorization, for fear that if one mistake was made, they would die. Therefore, how about asking the angel to come to the palace and ask in person? "
Han Du has also been in prison, and he knows deeply that those who have no power can only live and die after being imprisoned. Those people came here unfamiliar with the place, so naturally no one would want to save them.
Thinking that the matter was of great importance, Han Du was eager to get the news. After secretly confirming from Shi Jinqing that the Javanese King was not telling lies, he immediately said: "Please lead the way."
"Angel, please!" The Javanese King became more and more respectful to Han Du.
Han Du took two teams of soldiers to guard him and followed the Javanese Dynasty towards the palace.
The palace is not far from the port, only two or three miles away by visual inspection.
Seeing that the palace was less than a hundred meters away, Hua Zhong suddenly walked up, approached Han Du, and secretly reached out and pinched Han Du's arm.
Han Du understood, immediately slowed down and cast a doubtful look at Huazhong.
Hua Zhongfu whispered: "Something is wrong, the surroundings are too quiet. And this is the road from the port to the palace. How is it possible that there is no one except us along the way?"
Han Du glanced around, became confused, and asked defensively: "Did the King of Java clear the road to welcome us?"
"It is possible," Hua Zhong nodded, and then continued to ask: "In that case, why didn't King Java send even one guard to greet him? Did Brother Han see anyone greeting him at the entrance of the palace?"
Han Du glanced at the palace with its doors closed, and he became suspicious.
Realizing that Han Du and others did not follow, King Java turned back and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with the angel? The palace is in front, why doesn't the angel leave?"
Han Du was cautious and thought for a moment before saying: "It's not far from the palace. Why don't we ask the King of Java to bring the prisoner out. I don't think anything will happen to the prisoner at such a close distance."
"But, what if..." King Java said worriedly.
Han Du directly interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "If someone does something wrong, I won't blame you."
Seeing that Han Du had said this, the King of Java had no choice but to say: "Okay, then please ask the angel to wait for a moment."
The King of Java did not insist, and just led the people towards the palace, leaving Han Du and others where they were.
When King Java's men were about to disappear at the entrance of the palace, Hua Zhong suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Han, we have been fooled, retreat quickly."
Han Du also suddenly came to his senses. He had always felt that something was wrong just now, but he could never find the reason. He didn't react until he saw the Javanese King disappearing at the entrance of the palace. 'It would be enough to bring the prisoner out and send a bodyguard there. Why does the King of Java have to go there himself? Logically speaking, since he is waiting here, the King of Java should be with him. '
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Han Du shouted suddenly, and he led the soldiers to immediately turn around and run towards the seaside. As long as they reached the port, everything would be fine.
The King of Java stood on the palace city and saw Han Du and others running away. Knowing that the matter was exposed, he could no longer care about it and directly ordered, "Kill, don't leave anyone alive."
A shrill siren sounded, and dense crowds of people suddenly appeared on both sides of Han Du. It was unclear where these people came from.
"Send the signal quickly. The others will rush after me." Han Du took the lead and rushed to the front. Before the armies on both sides surrounded him and others, he could naturally rush out as much as he could.
