Southern migrants

"Not many, just one from Gan Qi." He replied without worry.

Yi Chao: "..." Isn't this going to die?

"However, if I don't send a letter to Gan Qilai within three days, he will bring someone to look for him."

Late at night, most of the people on board had fallen asleep. The two searched the merchant ship inside and out, and found the arrested girls in the secret room at the bottom of the bilge. Counting them, there were thirty of them.It seems that Wei Chengyu is also in a hurry.Cen Mu was a little worried in his heart, how should these people be rescued?If he follows him to his lair, there will be more people who will need to be rescued. How can his Nanyue men arrive in time?

There is a Dongyue in the east of South Vietnam. There are frequent wars between the two sides, and it has only calmed down in recent years. However, there may be a bigger whirlpool behind this calm.

In less than ten days, the merchant ship entered Lingdingyang, and the sweet sea breeze blew in, passing through the wooden boards and entering every floor.Captain Qian Qing was on the deck looking at the place where the sea and the sky meet in the distance, where a red sun was rising.

An assistant came over and whispered in his ear: "Captain, someone has sneaked into our fleet."

Qian Qing frowned and asked, "Have you found out who it is? What's the purpose?"

"I haven't found it yet. The chef just reported that some food was missing inexplicably." This assistant is called Aga, and he is one of Qian Qing's most trusted confidantes.

"Aga, you go and ask Ah Zuo and Ah You to strengthen their guard and stay put. Be careful not to be discovered by intruders, and we will investigate in secret." Qian Qing raised his hand to let him go down.

Both Cen Mu and Yi Chao disguised themselves as servants in the boat, mixing in the crowd, it would be hard to spot without careful identification.

"Hey, brother, it's my first time going out to sea, and I don't know where I'm going?" Cen Mu walked over and chatted with a man who was eating steamed buns on the side of the boat.

"Hey, I don't know too well. Every time the captain takes us to sea, he goes to different places. I don't know this time." The middle-aged man is about 40 years old, but he looks a little old. Already 60 years old.People who have been at sea all year round are exposed to the sun and rain, and generally look old.

"If my family hadn't been hit by a big flood, how could I risk my life to make a joke!" Cen Mu pretended to be extremely realistic, as if he had really experienced a great famine.

"Little brother, don't worry, our captain is really born for the sea. The previous few voyages encountered a big storm, and he brought us all back from the sea." Old man Ma said about this incident thing, a look of reverence.

"Where have you been before?"

"Champa, Khmer, Siam... I don't remember a few more. Well, anyway, the captain is in contact with the locals, and we don't know much about it."

"I just hope to earn some money to go home and treat my old mother. How much can you earn once you go to sea?"

Speaking of money, old man Ma looked around vigilantly, and looked at Yi Chao who was behind Cen Mu: "Who is this?"

"He's my elder brother. There's something wrong here. He doesn't like to talk to people very much." Cen Mu replied, pointing to his head.

Yi Chao: "..." Others always speak ill of me behind my back, but you are better off saying it directly in front of me.

Yi Chao, who was behind him, of course knew what the other party said, and he showed a smirk in coordination.

"This number." Old man Ma drew a number with his fingers.

"800 taels of silver?" Cen Mu asked.

"It's gold."

Cen Mu was a little surprised, no wonder they were all willing to travel thousands of miles to sea, how many years would it take to farm the land at home. "My brother is really amazing, there is hope for my mother and brother's illness!"

Yi Chao: "..." Can you stop mentioning me?

After more than ten days of undercover, they probably got to know the people on board.The captain's name is Qian Qing, who was originally from Wuyue. Later, his family was destroyed in a flood, and he embarked on the road to sea.He has three subordinates: A Zuo, A You, and A Ga. Among them, A Zuo and A You are his fellow villagers who went to sea for profit.Aga is his adopted son, and also a knife he trained, vicious and vicious.

Cen Mu also secretly observed Aga, but he didn't find that this man was as vicious as the crew said, on the contrary, in front of his adoptive father, he was really more loyal than an obedient dog.Everyone else on board had the habit of drinking, but this young man named Aga did not drink at all.

"What kind of person is that Aga?" Yi Chao asked, while the two were sitting idle in the corner of the stern.

"It seems that he is very cruel to himself, and has no special hobbies or habits."

"How about force?"

"I haven't done it before, so I don't know very well, but it looks like it's really my opponent."

"I have a question..." Yi Chao paused, hesitating whether to ask or not.

"What? Ask."

"If you do it, are you sure you will win?"

"Not sure." Cen Mu was still frank, neither exaggerating nor belittling.Surrounded by the vast sea, they don't know where they have gone, and looking at their opponents objectively is the correct way to survive.

"Then let's try to keep a low profile and don't reveal our secrets." As the saying goes, people are afraid of anything. As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Zuo and Ah You shouted on the deck: "Assemble! Assemble!" Listening around The crew members who received the order passed one after another.

"Shall we go there?" Yi Chao asked.

"Pass." The two followed at the end of the crowd, lowering their heads, trying to minimize their presence.

Ah Zuo stood on the high platform in front of him and shouted unhurriedly: "I called everyone here today because I have something to say. Our fleet is all about big business, and everyone is introduced by acquaintances..."

Ah You, who was standing by the side, couldn't stand his slow tone, so he interrupted him directly: "Let me tell you, we have received news that someone has sneaked into the fleet. people."

Everyone stood on the deck and looked at each other. The old man Ma remembered that there were two young men who joined the boat before. He looked around and couldn't find any of them. Then he realized: "I have something to say! I have something to say !"

"What's your name?" Zuo asked politely.

"Old man horse."

"What do you want to say?" Ah You directly came up and asked.

"I've seen two young people before. They are very strange. One is stupid and the other is very shrewd. I thought they were newcomers."

"Are you here now?"

"No. Just now I saw the two of them sitting at the stern eating."

"Azuo, take him to get a portrait." Ahyou keenly sensed the abnormality, "I will take people to search the ship and tell Aga to take people to the bilge."

The two divided their jobs and immediately searched the ship. "You go over there! You follow me over here." "Dig three feet to find these two people."

Aga was a young man in his twenties, strong and strong, and he led ten men into the hold.The bilge is mostly used to store food and hold important hostages, and few people usually come here.He waved his hand to let others disperse and surround the hatch exit, while he smashed open the hatch.

The moment the door was opened, the sky was full of dust, and there were two stripped sailors tied inside.Seeing Aga appearing, they hurriedly called for help.

Aga came in angrily, and pulled the cloth strips from their mouths: "What's going on?"

"Master Aga, we were knocked out, and we woke up like this."

"Damn it! Search for me immediately, don't miss any corner." He punched the floor, and a hole appeared where the fist landed.

However, the people on the whole ship searched almost every corner, but they couldn't find these two people.

In the captain's cabin, Qian Qing leaned on the grand master's chair, looking at ease.Aga came back dejectedly and reported: "Captain, we didn't find the two intruders."

Wisps of white smoke rose from the hollow carvings of the censer, inadvertently imbued with the leisure of the owner. "It's okay, in this vast sea, it is expected that they will not escape with their wings."

"But Captain, aren't you worried? Could it be that you already knew that someone had sneaked into the fleet?" Aga asked with his head lowered.

"It was intended to lure them up, and we want to treat them like this!" He opened his eyes, wiped his neck with his right hand, then smiled slightly, and returned to his original leisurely state.

"Who is that infiltrator?"

"There, you can go and see for yourself." He looked lazy, ignoring Aga.

He respectfully stood up and went under the desk, and opened the secret compartment. Inside were two portraits and a letter, with only one simple word on the letter: "Kill." Yi Chao was written on one portrait, and Yi Chao was written on the other With Cen Mu.

He didn't know Yi Chao, but he still knew Cen Mu, the second highness of Nanyue. Seeing the word "killed", his hands couldn't help shaking: "Captain, this is the second highness of Nanyue, we really want to do this ?"

"Are you afraid?"

"No, I just don't want you to be used."

"Don't worry! There are some things you just need to do, don't ask too much."

"Yes, Aga understands." He put away the portrait and put it back to its original place.

Yi Chao and Cen Mu hid outside the boat, with the vast sea under their feet, and waves surged up from time to time, hitting the hull of the boat.To be precise, the two of them were hanging over the side of the boat.

"How long can you hold on?" Yi Chao asked.

"Should be able to hold on for a while, we'll go back after they finish searching." Cen Mu climbed the wooden stake protruding from the ship's side with one hand, and Yi Chao with the other, and he was still in the mood to joke at this moment, "Yi Xiaotian, are you Shouldn't you eat less?"

"When is this, can you be more serious?"

"Okay! Master Yi always keeps a straight face."

"If you could use your lip service to find a way, we would have been safe long ago." Yi Chao turned his head and looked at him.

For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable being looked at like this, his face was a little hot: "Don't look at me like that, or I'll think..."

"What do you want?"

"Kiss you." Cen Mu replied directly.

Yi Chao: "..." The dog can't spit out ivory.

The two returned to the boat. Although they did not search the boat again, everyone was very serious, as if they were facing an enemy.They walked through the stern with their heads down, but they were suddenly called out: "Stop!"

Cen Mu's palms were covered with cold sweat, and his left hand was holding Yi Chao's hand.

"Talk about you two! Turn around!" The one who shouted was not an ordinary sailor, but a member of Ah Zuo's subordinates, holding a portrait in his hand.

He slowly turned around, and the moment he met the other party's eyes, the other party recognized him, "Yes..." Before he could say a word, Cen Mu rushed over and covered the other party's mouth and nose, suffocated and passed out.

The sailor on watch on the top of the ship saw this scene and immediately shouted: "Come on! The intruder is here! Come on!" His voice alarmed the entire ship, and all the crew gathered here, boom boom The sound of footsteps shook the entire deck.

"Go!" He grabbed Yi Chao's hand and fled into the cabin.
