My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 397 Prisoners at Sea

The fleet set sail again, but compared to before, the entire fleet is now full of excitement, and everyone has regained their spirits. Zhao Zhi and Hu Hong stood at the bow, looking forward with hope.

They arrived in Lion City a few days ago, and were warmly welcomed by city officials. After all, this is the territory of the King of Han, and the local officials knew that these people were their future colleagues, so they arranged very thoughtfully.

It can be said that in the past few days, Zhao Zhi and the others got a full rest and recovered both mentally and physically.

Zhang Zhong also looked ahead very excitedly. After leaving the Lion City, he only needs to go forward to reach North Tianzhu. After handing over the people on board at that time, his mission this time will be considered complete.

Compared with Zhang Zhong and Zhao Zhi, there is another group of people in the fleet, but they are full of worries about their own fate.

On a transport ship at the rear of the fleet, Wu Wang opened the small window in the cabin and looked at the scenery outside with confused eyes.

Although the sea is the same outside, Wu Wang still hopes to see something different, so that he can have an accurate understanding of his current situation.

Wu Wang just turned [-] this year, and his sister who just married a year ago was bullied at her in-laws' house, especially his brother-in-law, who was so inhuman that he beat his sister all over her body.

At that time, Wu Wang was very angry, so he went to his brother-in-law to argue, but he missed and beat the beast brother-in-law to death.

Originally killing people paid for their lives, but the county lord thought that their sister and brother loved each other deeply, so he was sentenced to three years in prison, and then exiled for three thousand miles. Although the punishment was heavy, at least his life was saved.

But he didn't expect that Wu Wang had just been in prison for a year, and he was suddenly lifted out of the prison, and brought to a port with other prisoners, and then loaded on a ship.

Ever since he got on the ship, Wu Wang, like the other prisoners, was trembling. He didn't know where these people were going to transport him.

Compared with those scholars like Zhao Zhi, the living conditions of the prisoners like Wu Wang are much worse. More than a dozen people live in one cabin, and the food is average.

But after the initial panic, Wu Wang felt very satisfied. After all, there were beds on board and enough food to eat. As a young man from a poor family, he never had high requirements for life.

Even when some prisoners were sick, there would be doctors to treat them, which shocked many prisoners. After all, in the prison, they had to bear the illness by themselves.

But now on the boat, not only are they well fed and clothed, they are sick and have doctors, and they don’t need to do any work every day. At most, they just take turns to clean the deck and cabin, which can be regarded as a release.

This kind of leisurely life made many prisoners relax slowly like Wu Wang, and they were very peaceful along the way. Of course, when encountering a storm, it did cause some prisoners to panic, but soon subsided.

"It's been so long, where are you going?"

Looking at the endless sea outside, Wu Wang couldn't help but whispered to himself.

Although he felt that life on the ship was much better than in prison, Wu Wang also began to worry about his own fate after the fleet had been gone for so long. After all, he was not stupid. Home?

"Brother Wu, do you want to know where we are going this time?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a gentle-looking middle-aged man next to him came over and said in a low voice.

"you know?"

Wu Wang also frowned when he saw this middle-aged man. Don't look at this guy who looks like a dog, but he is actually a big liar. It is said that he has deceived many people with his clever mouth. Fortunately, he was caught by the government. up.

"I don't have any other skills, but I have an eloquent mouth. Let's go out for a walk along the way. I also took the opportunity to chat with the people on the boat, and finally found out the purpose of our trip."

The middle-aged man smiled and said proudly, his name is Mo Qing, he is from a shabby household, and he has read a few books in his early years, so his knowledge is naturally much higher than that of ordinary prisoners.

"So where are we going this time?"

Wu Wang's eyes lit up when he heard Mo Qing's words, and asked him immediately.

"I can tell you, but you have to promise me one thing!"

Unexpectedly, Mo Qing smiled complacently, and immediately put forward conditions.

"what's up?"

Wu Wang frowned. He had self-knowledge and knew that although he was not stupid, he was not particularly smart either, so he was also deeply wary of a big liar like Mo Qing.

"It's very simple, you have to listen to me in the future, you have to do what I tell you to do!"

Mo Qing put forward his own conditions.

"It's a good idea, if you tell me to die, I will die, I won't listen!"

As Wu Wang spoke, he moved to the side to keep himself away from Mo Qing, after all he didn't want to hear anything from this liar.

"Brother Wu, don't rush to refuse. This is how business is done. I'll make an offer first, and you can lower the price!"

Mo Qing was stunned for a moment, and then he leaned over cheekily and said.

"I don't know how to do business, so don't use your tricks against me!"

Wu Wang still stared at Mo Qingdao vigilantly, for fear that he would be deceived by the other party accidentally.

"Okay, my fault, then I will say a real condition."

Mo Qing admits that he has fallen, and he really has no choice but to meet Wu Wang, who is a recalcitrant person.

Then Mo Qing lowered his voice and continued: "Brother Wu, let me tell you the truth, the place we are going to is not safe, so I only have one condition, that is, after you disembark, you must stay with me and protect my body as much as possible." Safety."

Mo Qing looked at Wu Wang's burly body while talking. The reason why he fell in love with Wu Wang was because Wu Wang was young and strong, and had also learned martial arts, otherwise he wouldn't have beaten him to death by mistake.

"Since it's not safe, I might be in danger myself, why should I protect you?"

Wu Wang is not stupid, it's just a dream to want to be a free bodyguard based on just one piece of news.

"It's not safe, but it's not as dangerous as you think, and we will benefit when we get to the place. At that time, we will have to rely on ourselves for everything. We need to work hard and have brains. I have confidence in brains, but strength I really don't have one, that's why I want to partner with you, brother Wu, so that we can be safer and get rich faster in the future."

Mo Qing also looked mysterious at the end.

Now Wu Wang's curiosity was finally aroused, and he no longer rejected Mo Qing, he leaned over and asked, "Then where are we going?"

"So brother Wu, you agreed to partner with me?"

Mo Qing didn't rush to answer, but reconfirmed.

"Partnership is fine, and I can try my best to protect you, but you can't lie to me in the future, otherwise I will be rude to you!"

Mo Qing stared, and put the ugly words to the front first.
