Wu Min was not drowned immediately after being thrown into the sea from the boat by Chen Youliang's men that day, and after struggling in the sea for a while, she remembered that she had a sharp dagger hidden in her waist, so she touched the dagger hidden in her waist with her bound hands at this critical moment.

As the sinking speed became faster and faster, the seawater had unconsciously poured into her ears, nose and mouth, which made Wu Min feel more and more difficult to breathe.

Driven by the desire to survive, she desperately groped for the dagger at her waist until she finally touched the tail of the dagger, and then desperately used the dagger to cut the rope that bound her hands, and when the rope was cut, she tore off the stone tied to her body that caused her to keep sinking, and finally desperately swam to the water.

In the end, she finally swam to the surface, but found that Chen Youliang's big boat had long disappeared without a trace, so she had no choice but to swim in the direction of the shore without stopping, until she was exhausted and exhausted, she was finally washed to the shore by the waves.

But her consciousness had already blurred until she passed out.

Fortunately, not long after she fell into a coma, an old woman who had just finished fishing on the shore and was about to return home soon found her, and when she saw her lying unconscious on the shore, she kindly carried her home.

At this time, Wu Min had gradually woken up from her sleep, and when she opened her eyes, she found a kind and kind Han woman looking at her with a smile and concern, and when she woke up, she quickly handed her a bowl of ginger soup and said, "You finally woke up, it's really good." Come, drink this bowl of ginger soup to warm up!"

Wu Min looked at the kind-hearted Han mother-in-law in front of her, and saw that she had such a kind expression on her face, and felt that she didn't look like a bad person, otherwise she wouldn't have saved her, so she took the bowl of enthusiastic ginger soup in the old woman's hand and drank it in a big gulp.

After a bowl of ginger soup was served, Wu Min asked, "Old woman, where is this!"

"It's called Lijia Village, and it's a small fishing village where we've been fishing for generations. ”

When she said this, the old woman couldn't help but feel a little curious about Wu Min's personal experience, so she asked, "Little girl, why were you swept here by the waves, and what happened?"

Wu Min sighed deeply and said, "This is a long story, and it is difficult to explain in a word! I was thrown into the sea, but one day I will settle accounts with the guy who threw me into the sea." ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Min was anxious to go back to Dadu, so he eagerly took his mother-in-law's hand and asked, "Mother-in-law, do you know that there is a sea ship here that can go to Dadu in the capital?"

"Yes, yes, but you have to walk a long way to get there, because it is a big wharf, and only at the big wharf can you catch a boat to the capital. ”

"Then without further ado, please ask my mother-in-law to take me to the Grand Pier now!"

However, at this moment, the door of the old woman's house was rudely kicked open from outside, and several Mongolian soldiers with scimitars and knives broke in from outside.

One of the Mongolian soldiers led by him grabbed the old woman's collar with his hand and threatened: "You are an old immortal, you still owe the fishing tax last month, if you don't pay it again this time, don't think about fishing." ”

This scene made Wu Min a little strange at this time, because since she promoted the benevolent government plan throughout the country, it was stipulated that Mongolian officials were not allowed to disturb the people at will, let alone arbitrarily collect any taxes from the Han Chinese.

However, these officials in front of them ignored the laws of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and actually did whatever they wanted in front of her, Princess Mingxia, and were overbearing, which made Wu Min feel a little angry at this time.

"Stop, let go of this old woman. ”

The Mongolian soldier led by him let go of the old woman at this time, then turned his head to look at Wu Min with disdain, and said to Wu Min in that contemptuous tone: "Who are you? ”

"According to the latest laws promulgated by the Great Yuan Dynasty, abolish any hierarchy and restore the identity and status of the Han people, Mongolian officials are not allowed to harass innocent Han people, and they are not allowed to collect any fees from Han people at will, and a few of you, as officials, dare to openly violate the law, what crime should you be guilty of?"

However, what Wu Min didn't expect at this moment was that the Mongolian soldier led by him actually laughed, and said to Wu Min disapprerovantly: "Hahaha, I don't think you know! Princess Mingxia's unreasonable system has long been abolished, how can the Han people be qualified to sit on an equal footing with us Mongols, it is simply ridiculous." ”

The Mongolian soldier's words made Wu Min a little shocked at this time, only to see her look at the Mongolian soldier in front of her in surprise and ask, "What did you say?

"Of course they were abolished, the Han people are just slaves of our Mongols, how can it be possible to improve their status, Princess Mingxia is really whimsical and thinks that by doing so, she can influence the Han people, even if she implements benevolent government, those brutal Han people of the White Lotus Sect are also rebellious. ”

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the old woman's collar again and threatened: "Old immortal, if you don't pay taxes again, I will let you go to see your father-in-law and children." ”

At this time, the old woman had no desire to live in her heart, she looked at the Mongolian soldier who was holding her by the collar and said to him: "My father-in-law and son have been forced to death by you Mongols, you can kill them! Anyway, after I die, it is a big deal to go to hell to accompany them, and I don't have so much money to pay taxes, so if you want to kill me, hurry up!"

"Old immortal, it seems that you want to die, I will fulfill you. ”

Seeing that the Mongolian soldier had bullied the kind mother-in-law who had saved her so much, Wu Min couldn't stand it anymore, she shouted: "Stop!" After rushing forward, she snatched the scimitar from the Mongolian soldier's hand, and then put the scimitar on his neck and threatened: "Come soon for me to see your sir, I have something to say to him." ”

Unexpectedly, the Mongolian soldier led by him was born to be a master who bullied the weak and feared the hard, and after being tossed by Wu Min like this, he instantly became honest, only to see him tremble and say: "The woman spares her life, the woman spares her life, don't kill me, I just listen to you." ”

"Let's go. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

After finishing speaking, he took Wu Min to find his chief, but he didn't expect that after the chief saw Wu Min, he actually recognized her as Princess Mingxia at a glance.

"Oh! It turned out to be Princess Mingxia! The subordinates knocked on Princess Mingxia, but they didn't know that the princess had missed the distance when she came to the cold house, and hoped to forgive her sins. ”

The chief's words made Wu Min feel extremely curious and shocked at this time, so he asked, "How did you recognize me as Princess Mingxia?"

"The villain has just passed through the portrait of the painter, and then through the description of your brother King Pingnan, he has recognized you as Princess Mingxia, the pearl of the current saint. ”

After saying that, the magistrate took out a portrait of Wu Min, and Wu Min, who saw this portrait, seemed to already know something about her brother Wang Baobao.

"Have you seen my brother?"

"Princess Mingxia is really Bingxue smart, I guessed that King Pingnan was in my mansion, and I will take you to see him now. ”

After a while, Wu Min saw her brother Wang Baobao in the Mongolian official's house, and Wang Baobao looked at the sister in front of him with a surprised face and said: "Sister Min, why are you here? I heard that I was not at ease when you stayed on Chen Youliang's ship, so I specially took a boat to Lingnan to pick you up from Chen Youliang's ship, and considering that you might leave before Chen Youliang, he ordered the painter to draw your portrait to find your whereabouts, why didn't you come to this place instead of Chen Youliang's boat?"

When Wang Baobao just finished saying this, he saw Wu Minzheng looking at him with an aggrieved face and said to him: "Brother, don't mention Chen Youliang, this brute, he has now betrayed the imperial court and swallowed the treasure of Nanao Island alone, and is planning to rebel against the imperial court on his own." ”

Hearing Wu Min say this, Wang Baobao didn't react for a while, and was confused by her words.

In addition, he himself did not believe that Chen Youliang, who had always been loyal to the imperial court, would do such a conscientious thing, so he asked Wu Min to repeat what he had just said in detail.
