Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 398: Acquaintance

"Xiaowu, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap?"

A small fishing village in the east of Chang County, Liao County.

This is the farthest village in Yanzhou from Yanjun.

Chai Wu trekked for more than two days before arriving here.

Looking at the familiar village, his eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

Once, he had a poor but warm home here.

Like the people in the village, their family made a living by fishing and selling abalone from the sea.

But the Yuan family imposed heavy taxes on them, and his father and mother had to leave early and come home late, and go to the sea every day.

After going to sea once, his parents and eldest brother never came back.

The eldest brother, who was only fourteen years old, had to take over the responsibilities of his parents.

Unexpectedly, he did not return after going to sea. The villagers who were traveling with him said that they encountered a Korean warship.

In order to protect other villagers, his second brother took a boat to block the warships of the Korean Navy and was captured by the Koreans.

After learning the news, the next day he stole a boat in the village and went to Goryeo to rescue his second brother.

But he encountered a storm at sea and luckily survived. He was washed back to the coast, where he was met by a Yahang merchant who deceived him into going to Yancheng and sold him to Wang Yanzhong.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs." Chai Wu smiled at the villagers.

As soon as he returned, he was recognized by the people in the village.

Almost everyone from the village came to see him.

However, he did not reveal his identity and only said that he had been doing business abroad for several years.

"Hey, your bold temper has not changed." A villager said, "Now we don't dare to go to the sea during the day. Goryeo warships hang around too frequently. If you go to sea, you will definitely be captured. A few days ago, Yazi was captured by the Koreans, and his mother almost cried to death. "

"Zhang Yazi was captured by the Koreans!" Chai Wu was surprised.

This tooth was the same age as him and had the best relationship with him when they were in the village.

"This is still false. Now the Koreans are getting more and more arrogant. The warship sailed directly to our door in Yanzhou. It was only a few miles away from the shore, but it happened to be overtaken by the Korean warship. Next, I think the Koreans will go ashore directly to arrest people." Another person said.

"He's just bullying us, Yanzhou, because we don't have a navy, otherwise we'll beat him, that son of a bitch." A young man's face turned red with anger.

Chai Wu pursed his lips and said: "These Koreans won't be able to live for long. We in Yanzhou will have our own navy. His Highness the King of Yan will definitely deal with these bastards by then."

When the villagers heard this, they were all shocked, with happy faces on their faces, "Really?"

"Really, this is what I heard when I was doing business in Yancheng. There will be no lies. Let's just be patient and patient." Chai Wu said with a smile.

Everyone nodded and looked excited.

At this time, Chai Wu took out a piece of silver from his pocket and said, "Lend me someone's boat."

Everyone sighed, knowing that Chai Wu would still go to the sea.

A man said: "You don't have any money, just use my boat."

Chai Wu smiled slightly and put the money into the man's hand, "Uncle Song, thank you."

After that, he walked towards the seaside before the man could react.

He recognized the Hanzi's boat, and it could only carry two people.

He pushed the boat away from the shore, raised the sail, waved his hand to the villagers, and never looked back.

The vast sea of ​​smoke stretches as far as the eye can see.

The blazing sun bakes and steams people on the sea, making them uncomfortable.

After gradually losing sight of the land, Chai Wu waited quietly while taking the net made of hemp rope on the boat and throwing it into the sea to fish.

Within two hours, a warship appeared in his field of vision.

He immediately set sail and pretended to escape.

However, the warship quickly caught up, and as the warship approached, the joking laughter of the Goryeo soldiers could be heard from above.

Raising his head, he looked at the deck of the warship and saw a net thrown down from above, trapping him in it.

Then a rope ladder was thrown down, and the Korean soldier went down the rope ladder, raised the handle of his knife and hit him on the back of the head.

Chai Wu's vision went dark and he passed out.

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly, a chill woke him up, followed by the scolding of Goryeo soldiers.

At the same time, a stick hit him, and he opened his eyes suddenly in pain.

At this time, he found himself at a dock.

There are many warships moored on the pier, and more than ten warships are being built on the beach.

There were many people with shackles on their feet carrying wood back and forth.

"Hurry up!" Chai Wu couldn't understand the Korean soldier's shout, but he probably understood what it meant.

Lifting his feet, he found that the steps were heavy and accompanied by a clanking sound.

At this time, he found that he was also shackled.

"Is this Gaoli'an City Port?" Chai Wu secretly asked, and at the same time he was driven towards the beach by the soldiers.

Arriving at a warship under construction, he was handed over to the soldiers guarding the ship.

Then the soldier called a middle-aged man.

"When you get to Goryeo, be honest and work hard until you starve to death, or else I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish." The middle-aged man said to Chai Wu fiercely, speaking in a loud tone.

Chai Wu said nothing. The middle-aged man pointed to the logs piled not far away and said, "Go over there and carry the logs."

When he arrived, Chai Wu carefully observed the situation at the harbor and made some calculations in his mind.

Not wanting to offend the man who seemed to be the overseer, he walked towards the place where the logs were piled.

After walking only a few steps, his eyes suddenly stopped and he saw a familiar face walking towards him. It was Zhang Yazi who the villagers said had been captured by the Koreans a few days ago.

Zhang Yazi obviously recognized Chai Wu, his eyes widened suddenly, and he opened his mouth to call him.

But Chai Wu immediately gave him a look.

The two had a tacit understanding when they were in the village. Zhang Yazi immediately put away his excited face and walked over carrying the logs.

Night falls.

Torches were lit on the beach, and the supervisor's voice sounded, "Hurry up and eat, and continue working after eating. If the construction period is delayed, none of you will survive."

The captured slaves heard this and began to line up in front of several porridge shacks.

Chai Wu's eyes searched the crowd, and soon met Zhang Yazi's eyes, who immediately lined up behind Chai Wu.

"Fifth brother, why were you caught by the Korean dog?" Zhang Yazi lowered his voice.

"It's a long story. Let me ask you, why did Goryeo build so many warships?" Chai Wudao said.

"I heard from those who came first that they seemed to be attacking Yanzhou by sea. On the day I was captured, I bumped into a Beidi man. That man seemed to have a very high status. Even the King of Goryeo respected him." Zhang Yazi said softly.

During the day they were whipped to work, but at night they would sleep in a shed and scold the Koreans and gossip about things happening on the docks.

Naturally, he understood that it was the King of Korea who came that day.

Chai Wu's eyes flickered, and he knew in his heart that this person must be Ulanba.

The two of them arrived at the porridge shed while chatting. At this time, the Korean soldiers in the shed just poured a spoonful of gruel with only a few grains of rice into their bowls, and gave them a black sour pancake.
