Chapter 164: Tragic Smuggling

The long border between the central and Zhuo kingdoms is also long, and in addition to most of the land borders, there is also a large river. Generally, smugglers like to walk this big river with a width of more than 10 kilometers, and the land border between the two countries is steep and mountainous, and it is extremely inconvenient to move; Second, it is easy to cross the river to reach densely populated towns.

It soon became clear that these people were smuggling goods between the two countries and sending people out of the country who could not leave the country normally for various reasons.

The two of them soon came to the river, and they could see the rapid flow of the river in the faint starlight, and they took advantage of the night to board a cargo ship bound for Zhuoguo, and there was a small compartment at the bottom of the cargo ship for stowaways, and two people got into the compartment, and there were already seven or eight people in it.

The compartment was very small, the air was dirty, and I could only sit with my head down, only a small dim lamp, and several people didn't look at anyone, even if they couldn't see clearly, everyone waited silently.

Ling Moyu could feel the boat moving in the water, the speed of this ship was relatively fast, it usually took about half an hour to reach the opposite shore, they just had to be patient for a while.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, not far from the shore, Ling Moyu suddenly felt that the boat had stopped, and there was no longer the sound of the ship's side being hit by the waves just now.

Ling Moyu was more alert than ordinary people, and the others, including Liu Yuche, didn't notice anything abnormal, Ling Moyu secretly used his arm to bucket Liu Yuche, and Liu Yuche looked up at him.

Liu Yuche was also very smart, under Ling Moyu's prompting, he also noticed that the boat had stopped, and after a while, they heard the noisy footsteps and loud scolding on the boat board overhead.

"It must have been discovered by the water police of Zhuo Country, so be ready to follow me." Ling Moyu whispered to Liu Yuche, who nodded in the dim light.

These people were praying that the marine police would not find this small compartment blocked by goods at the bottom of the warehouse, and they were afraid that something would come, and after a while they heard someone carrying goods outside, and then they were discovered.

"The people inside listened, knocked on the door, and came out one after another, with their hands on their heads!" A voice came through the loudspeaker.

This is simply catching a turtle in an urn, and there is nowhere to escape, so you can only walk out one by one with your head in your arms according to the people above.

Almost halfway through the wait, Ling Moyu suddenly got up, Liu Yuche followed closely behind him, and they walked out of the compartment in the middle and back positions.

When they came to the deck, the lights were bright, and a circle of loaded sailors surrounded them, seeing that everyone had come out, some people shouted loudly and told them to stand up, and they were not beaten with batons, Ling Moyu and Liu Yuche also took two beatings, and then let them take their own things and walk from the gangplank that had been set up to the opposite marine police patrol boat.

The dozen or so of them walked slowly from the gangplank with their heads down, and when five or six people walked in front, Ling Moyu followed them with his head down, and Liu Yuche was behind.

At this time, the marine police relaxed their vigilance, and just as they walked to the middle of the springboard, Ling Moyu suddenly turned around, looked at Liu Yuche, pulled him, and then jumped into the river, and Liu Yuche also jumped down.

The people in front and behind saw that someone was diving, and a few dared to jump down, and the marine police behind them couldn't see it well, and they shouted repeatedly, and even one person took out a gun and shot into the water.

The night was vast, and a few people fell into the huge river and quickly disappeared into the endless darkness, Ling Moyu carefully paid attention to the direction of the Zhuo Kingdom border when he walked on the deck, and secretly informed Hui Tong of the direction of the mark, and gave him guidance in the water, and after entering the water, Ling Moyu immediately pulled Liu Yuche to swim to the opposite bank.

The water was pitch black, cold and biting, and the few people who jumped into the water couldn't find their way to flee in all directions, only Ling Moyu pulled Liu Yuche to swim towards the river bank of Zhuo Kingdom.

The place where they jumped into the river was still about three or four kilometers away from the river bank, the speed of the water was very fast, they swam desperately, Liu Yuche's physical strength was far greater than that of Ling Moyu, he swam less than two kilometers in the dark, he was exhausted.

Ling Moyu had to hold Liu Yuche in the back, the speed of the two slowed down significantly, I don't know how long it took, they finally saw the light on the opposite side, and the speed of the water flow also slowed down.

By the time their feet finally touched the bottom of the river, the sky was already dark, and the two people who were soaked in the cold morning wind were shivering.

The current made it several kilometers downstream from their intended landing site, a remote country with a village still far away, and there would be no hotel to live in for a while.

They had no choice but to knock on the door of a farmer's house, and a middle-aged woman came out, "This eldest sister, the two of us unfortunately fell into the water on a boat late at night, there is no hotel here, we have to beg for mercy, please let us go in and change our clothes and keep warm." Liu Yuche said.

The woman looked at them suspiciously, and after a long while, she said, "What nationality are you?" ”

"We are Zhuo Guo people." Liu Yuche said.

"It's not like, how can Zhuo people come here late at night to take a boat, this is not a tourist attraction, I have never seen Zhuo people take a boat here in the middle of the night." The woman asked warily.

Liu Yuche couldn't hide it, so he said directly: "I won't tell you, we are from the central country, and we were originally doing business in Zhuoguo, but you also know that Zhuoguo will not let us enter the country now, and many of our assets are still in Zhuoguo, so we are reluctant to leave it. ”

When the women heard him say this, they got out of the way and let them in, it was an ordinary farm yard, and the peasants of Zhuo Guo were living a good life, and the modern electricity was complete, but they noticed that it seemed that there were only women in the house.

The woman seemed to see their doubts and said: "I am alone in the family now, my husband and son have fled to the mountains, since the army of the Dan Kingdom entered the Zhuo Kingdom to carry out the so-called quelling of the rebellion, many of our Zhuo people here have participated in the organization of the resistance to the Dan Kingdom, and the Dan Kingdom has wantonly captured adult men in order to eliminate these people, even if they have not participated in the resistance movement, they will be arrested for the so-called censorship, and many people have died in prison for no apparent reason, so many people who have not been arrested have run to the mountains to hide." ”

"He hated these people in Danguo, it seems that they are really trying to invade Zhuoguo!" Liu Yuche said.

"Yes, originally our Zhuo country had a close relationship with your central country, and we have always respected the central country as a big country, and when something happens, we always ask the central country for help. But a few years ago, the prince of your central kingdom actually tried to insult the prince and concubine on the prince's wedding day, causing the two countries to fight each other, so that the Dan country had a chance. The woman sighed.
