Section III

Fei Erden never expected Wu Ming to make a sudden move, so he jumped to the side, his right hand was thrown straight, but his eyes looked towards Wu Ming, and his eyes were a little surprised.

Wu Ming saluted Geng Riming and said, "Brother, since this person is unwilling to go to the Eastern Han Dynasty with me, let them go back." Why do you want to kill more, and increase your sins? ”

Killing these three people, Geng Riming just remembered the role of killing chickens and monkeys, and when he saw Wu Ming come forward to stop him, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said secretly: "The so-called reluctance to go to the Eastern Han Dynasty is just the prevarication of this sailor, this Wu Ming's knowledge is not low, how can he be so unreasonable?" But thinking about it, for the sake of the past feelings, it was not easy to refute Wu Ming's face, and said with a cold face: "That is the case, come and lock up these three people." ”

Feldden kicked the man in the middle and said angrily, "You're a of luck." The man was kicked and turned over, but was immediately pushed to the ground by the two soldiers who rushed up, and tied up three times and two times, and Feilden waved his big hand: "Take it down." He escorted a few soldiers to the cabin, and when he left, he glanced at Wu Ming resentfully, as if he was very dissatisfied with Wu Ming's transgression.

Hearing the noise, many soldiers ran up to see the commotion, and there were more and more people on the deck. Geng Riming looked at the crowd of people huddled together, and his heart was even more angry: "Whatever you see, give it to Lao Tzu to go back, what should I do." ”

As soon as they saw him angry, these sailors dared to stay, and they dispersed in a hurry, and after a while they were all gone. The chaotic deck was quiet in a blink of an eye. Seeing that everyone had gone down, Wu Ming walked up to Geng Riming and said softly, "Brother." ”

Geng Riming was still a little angry, and said hatefully: "Say, Wu Du, why?" There's no way you really believe the sailor's lame reason. ”

"Naturally, I don't believe it."

Wu Ming stepped forward and lined up side by side with Geng Riming, looking at the vast sea in a daze. It was already dark, the moon had not yet risen, and the vast sea seemed to be connected to the sky, leaving only a faint blue in the west. The soldiers had just been driven down by the sunset, and the deck was silent. The Saint-Gorire sailed in the silence of the sea, and the only sound in her ears was the sound of Lang slapping the bottom of the ship. He looked at the vast sea view and continued: "Brother, if you want to continue to live quietly in this sea, wouldn't it be better to release the news and go to the Eastern Han Dynasty with me?" ”

Geng Riming was stunned for a moment. Yes, if the third prince knew that he was still in this sea area, he would definitely not give up. He is now the head of a country, and he is just a down-and-out rebel, and it is extremely easy for him to embarrass himself. It's a blessing not to be caught, but as for spending the rest of your life in peace, it's even more delusional. In this situation, Wu Ming was still thinking about him, and he couldn't help but say: "But if they are released, these sailors will be even more homesick, and when the time comes, they will disperse in a hurry, and I can't send Wu Du back to the Eastern Han Dynasty alone." ”

"Of course I know that." Wu Ming said softly: "But brother, think about it, if they really want to leave, can you leave them behind, can you still leave their hearts." Their family is all in Gehan, so maybe they have the end of the world with you? Speaking of this, there was also a trace of sadness in Wu Ming's tone: "And we ourselves don't know where to go, why use those previous military orders to force them?" It's a dead end anyway, so if you can go there, it's okay to go there. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "People, it's better not to kill or not to kill!" ”

"It's better not to kill or not to kill." Geng Riming muttered, and there was something inexplicable in his eyes. After a while, he said: "Wu Du is right, I have killed enough people in my life, since I am ready to go into hiding, it is better to be less bloody." Tomorrow I will find a secluded place and release everyone who is willing to go back. ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the cabin with some gloomy spirits, and said as he walked: "Wu Du, I'm tired and want to go to lie down, so you can also go and rest." ”

Wu Ming looked at his somewhat depressed back, but his heart was sour. Geng Riming said that he wanted to go into hiding, but he was also forced to be helpless. When the three princes were in power, the navy army must be firmly controlled by Felix, and Persia would have no use for him. The Jiaohou, who once dominated the Persian seas and had the title of the first in water warfare, may never come back.

He thought as he walked towards his lodgings.

The Saint-Gorelet is large, made entirely of oak and has a double deck. The ship is divided into four floors with a total of thirty-one large cabins. When sailing at sea, the air on the lower deck is much better than the air in the upper deck. Geng Riming chose a cabin at the porthole at the stern of the lower deck, and separated it with wooden planks to become a separate small space, although this space is less than ten square meters, but it is a great exception. Space on the ship is tight, and the captain's cabin in Feerden is only less than five square meters, and now he has to rest with Geng Riming. Ordinary sailors, on the other hand, could only be crammed into the seamen's room, fixed with ropes, forming a net bag, hanging in the air like a bat, so to speak, there was not even a place to stand on a cone.

When he walked into this small wooden house, Wu Ming saw Zhu Yuqing sitting cross-legged on the bed, carefully flipping through a book on his lap. It was dark in the house, so the lights were still on. Zhu Yuqing has been cured of his illness for a long time, and his face has a healthy layer of red, which is red under the lamp, like two ripe apples. She looked at it very seriously, and her long eyelashes blinked like two seductive brushes. Wu Ming's heart couldn't help but warm: "What, are you still reading the manuscript given to you by Master Deadwood?" ”

Deadwood not only cured Zhu Yuqing's illness, but also copied a book of experience for her, which is said to record some of the mysteries of Deadwood's miraculous skills. On the night of the Arc de Triomphe incident, Zhu Yuqing proudly showed off to Wu Ming, saying that Deadwood had given her a big gift, which was what he was referring to.

Seeing Wu Ming coming, Zhu Yuqing hurriedly closed the book and replied, "Yes." After speaking, he stared at Wu Ming with a pair of water-cutting eyes, and then looked at the book, his thin lips moved, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, but finally sighed.

Wu Ming looked at her dejected face, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, there is still no progress?" ”

Zhu Yuqing still frowned slightly, and replied a little lazily: "Yes." ”

As soon as I got this book, I wish Yuqing great joy. But after only one day, she was sullen, and still is so. Wu Ming looked at her face full of loss and persuaded: "Come on, you have never practiced martial arts, do you really want to suddenly become a martial arts master in the world?" That's too mysterious. You can't read it, that's normal. ”

Zhu Yuqing didn't seem to want to dwell on this topic, so he said to him: "By the way, Xiaohui came over just now and said that Sister Esther is much better, and she still ate something and drank some porridge today." ”

The change of the Arc de Triomphe hit Esther too hard, coupled with the overuse of True Qi, and some rain, as soon as she arrived at sea, Esther fell ill. I haven't eaten much in the past few days, and when I heard Zhu Yuqing say this, Wu Ming perked up and said, "That's a good feeling, we'll go see her later." ”

Such a small wooden house is naturally enough for four people, and Esther is a sick person, so it is difficult to huddle together, so Geng Riming opened a separate small room for her in the bow of the boat, and Xiaohui took care of her.

Seeing Wu Ming like this, Zhu Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief and was rejoicing. Wu Mingtu teased, "What exactly did Master Deadwood say in the booklet you received?" Why have you been mysterious? If you don't give your husband a reference, maybe you can discover the mystery inside. ”

Hearing Wu Ming say this, Zhu Yuqing's face turned red, and there was a trace of panic on his face: "This, it's not good." Master Deadwood said to show me, but he didn't tell you. ”

"Really?" Wu Ming glanced at his wife suspiciously, but he couldn't force it, so he got up and said, "Let's go, let's go see Xiaohui and them." ”

Dinner time was over, and some of the people were back on deck to breathe, and a few sailors on duty were chatting about something. On the bow lookout, a sailor was humming a Persian popular tune in a low voice, but because he didn't sing it and didn't know the specific content, he only felt that the tone was a little low and depressing. Wu Ming took his wife's hand and walked silently, but there was something unpleasant in his heart. The events of the afternoon are vivid, and they also know that this time there is no return, and the tone is full of homesickness.

When the two arrived at their destination, they found that Esther was sleeping soundly, and Xiaohui was probably too tired and fell asleep on her stomach. The two glanced at each other, helped Xiaohui cover her clothes, and returned to her residence. Wu Ming and Zhu Yuqing have been married for many years, and they know his wife's personality well, and they always feel that she is hiding something from herself, and she can't help but be a little worried. But his wife didn't say it, with his character, it was naturally not easy to be strong, so he had to be so stuffy.

And so the night passed.

At noon the next day, the husband and wife were pulling their homework, and there was a sudden commotion on the upper deck. Wu Ming was taken aback, and said to Zhu Yuqing: "You stay well, I'll go up and see what's going on." ”

When I came to the top, I saw that the deck was full of people, and it was crowded to the brim, and it was estimated that all the sailors had come. Lin Wuzheng was standing at the end of the deck with a large group of Eastern Han Dynasty soldiers, pointing at the bottom of the ship, Wu Ming was a little puzzled, and walked over and said, "General Lin." ”

As soon as they saw Wu Ming coming, Lin Wu and the others hurriedly saluted, Wu Ming waved his hand to stop them, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Wudao: "Jiaohou is sending back those soldiers who want to return to Gehan, and the sailors are saying goodbye to them. As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and pointed downward.

The Saint-Gorelet is very large, even with the side of the ship is also high, Wu Ming just came out of the cabin, blocked by the side of the ship, naturally did not know the situation below, at this time looked in the direction of Lin Wu's finger, and saw two small boats below, one of which was full of people, about dozens of people, and the other was more Riming and a few followers. Geng Riming was waving his hand to another small boat, and he said in a loud voice: "Brothers, thank you for being with you through so many years of wind and rain, and I wish you a safe and healthy life in the future." ”
