After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 259 Seeing the illegal transaction but helpless

After a whole day of hard labor, Ye Wuwei was given two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge.

After finishing work, Ye Wuwei and Ye Hongxia collapsed on the ground.

Even though Ye Wuwei had received training, he still felt extremely tired.

Ye Hongxia was no better than Ye Wuwei, she cursed in a low voice:

"I've never suffered this kind of suffering in my life. This is all because of you, you little bastard."

"After we get out, I'll agree to one of your requests as compensation."

"Any request is acceptable?"

"Anything that's not too extreme is fine."

"I'll owe you the money first. I'll ask you for it when I think it over."

The two sat for a while, and seeing that the others had already lain down to rest, they also found a place to lie down.

"You didn't sleep last night, and you're tired all day today. Go get some sleep first."

Ye Hongxia didn't expect to be so tired. Her waist was about to break. "Then I'll take a nap first. Call me in an hour."

Ye Wuwei agreed, but he did not really wake Ye Hongxia up an hour later. Instead, he gently pushed Ye Hongxia at the end of midnight.

"Get ready to leave."

Ye Hongxia looked around, used her inner strength to concentrate and listened for a while: "Let's go."

The two left quickly and successfully found Lei Dahong.

Lei Dahong was more capable than Ye Wuwei had imagined. He hid three horses and prepared several days' worth of dry food and water.

"If the fishermen are right, the boat on the island won't reach the coast for another four days. Should we hide on the boat first or find somewhere else to hide?"

"I'm just afraid of missing the boat."

"Hiding on a boat isn't a good idea. There are five boats here. Who knows which one they're driving?"

The three of them discussed for a while but couldn't come up with a solution.

Finally, it was Ye Wuwei who said:

"Let's hide on a ship first, and then come up with something to do when they leave.

If it doesn’t work, we can just hide in the water and then get on the boat.”

Lei Dahong said awkwardly: "I can't swim."

"It's okay. I'll teach you starting tomorrow. I guarantee you'll learn it in one day."

The person who spoke was Ye Hongxia.

After the three of them finished their discussion, they rode to the place where the boats were docked on the coast and boarded the last boat.

The three of them arranged their shifts and took turns to rest.

They originally thought they would have to wait on the boat for a few days, but at 5 p.m. that afternoon, Ye Hongxia said to them, "Someone is coming."

"how many people?"

Ye Hongxia listened carefully and said, "I can't tell exactly how many people there are, but it's quite a commotion."

"How far?"

"It's still five miles away."

Ye Wuwei quickly got off the boat and came to the island, lying on the ground and listening to the sound:

There are more than 500 horses.

Ye Wuwei's heart sank, and he quickly returned to the boat to tell Ye Hongxia, "There are about 500 horses."

"so many people?"

Ye Wuwei's mind quickly started working:

If we set out for South City Coast at this time and arrive at South City Coast at midnight, it would definitely not be to buy food.

If large quantities of food or other supplies arrive, there is no need to load them onto the ship at night, as they will be kept hidden from the public.

A light bulb went off in Ye Wuwei's head: People!

"They must be a new group of captured people, and they are here to pick someone up.

Five hundred people went to pick them up, so there must be quite a lot of people arriving this time."

Lei Dahong's brain finally outsmarted Ye Hongxia: "Five hundred people can't all board one ship."

"That's right, let's switch to the boat in the middle."

The three of them quickly boarded the middle boat and hid in a room on the third floor that was least likely to be discovered.

Half a quarter of an hour later, someone came to the shore.

Ye Wuwei looked out of the window of the room and saw that there were indeed about 500 people.

Just as Ye Wuwei had expected before: these five hundred people boarded three ships respectively, one of which was the ship where Ye Wuwei and his group were.

The ship they were on before was empty.

Ye Hongxia praised Ye Wuyi through secret voice transmission: "You little brat, you're still smart."

……

After sailing on the sea for more than three hours, the ship arrived at the coast of South City.

It was already midnight.

The night was more conducive to hiding for Ye Wuwei and the other two. After getting off the boat with the others, they hid well on the shore.

Before long, Ye Wuwei heard the chaotic sound of horse hooves and carriages.

Then, a group of soldiers on horseback and a carriage covered with black cloth that stretched as far as the eye could see appeared in Ye Wuwei's sight.

Ye Wuwei roughly calculated the number of soldiers in this group: about 500.

However, Ye Wuwei is currently unsure of whose army these 500 soldiers belong to.

When we reached the shore, people from the island came to greet us.

A soldier removed the black cloth covering the body, revealing a large cage containing a person who had his hands and feet tied and was unconscious.

More than a dozen people were crammed into a large cage in a carriage.

The distance was a bit far, and Ye Wuwei couldn't hear what the soldiers and the people on the island were saying, but Ye Hongxia concentrated and heard some of it.

"They said there were over 1,500 people this time."

Knowing that these soldiers and the people on the island were conducting illegal transactions, Ye Wuwei could not act rashly and could only watch them send the captured people onto the ship.

Because the three of them could not only fail to save these 1,500 people, but might also cost them their lives.

And it would be much more difficult to rescue people on the island again.
