Pain, severe pain.
Not the head but the abdomen.
Fang Zhengyi had woken up from coma, but his head was covered by a black hood, making him unable to see, and his hands and feet were tied up.
The whole person was stretched across the horse, and the horse kept running wildly. No one knew how much time had passed.
Every time the horse's hoof took a step, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
As the pain stimulated, Fang Zheng's mind began to clear up.
I don’t know what time it is now, nor where I am. The only thing I can tell is that a very long time has passed.
Otherwise, my stomach wouldn’t hurt so much!
Fang Zhengyi groaned secretly in his heart.
I don’t know how Zhou Tie is doing, this guy is really incompetent!
I have been hunting geese all day long, but today I was blinded by a goose peck!
Who are these people? The remnants of the Lu family?
Damn, I have really had too many comfortable days these past few years... How could I be kidnapped by others, without a dagger or gun...
He was just thinking wildly all the way, and he didn't dare to ask questions for fear of getting hit in the back of the head again.
However, this group of people probably didn't intend to kill him when they captured him, otherwise they would have taken action in advance.
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Zheng began to smell a fishy smell in the air.
The sound coming from the horse's hooves beneath him also began to change.
The sea...is the sea!
Before he could think more, he felt someone had already lifted him off the horse and started walking.
The sound of the waves in his ears became clearer and clearer, and he was now 100% sure that he was at the beach.
Soon, the person carrying him walked into an indoor-like space, because it was obvious that he could no longer feel the wind.
Fang Zheng was placed on the ground, his head still covered.
After a while, there was no sound around him. Fang Zheng took a deep breath and asked, "Which hero came to invite me?"
"How brave." A slightly familiar voice came, accompanied by applause.
Fang Zheng was just wondering who it was when his hood was suddenly lifted off. He instinctively looked up to where the sound came from.
I saw a familiar figure sitting at the table looking at me, and there were several guards on the left and right.
"Master Fang, long time no see."
"Well, I have met the prince..."
Fang Zheng felt his head buzzing and felt like it was going to break apart!
King Wu!
How could this guy be here? Are you so well-informed?
King Wu had a faint smile on his face: "How is the investigation of the salt merchant's case going?"
"Your Majesty is so smart, I admire you." Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment before answering directly.
In this situation, there is no point in pretending to be stupid.
After hearing this, King Wu sighed softly: "I knew this, so I would loosen him."
The guards on the left and right came forward and began to untie Fang Zheng's hands and feet.
Fang Zheng stood up and rubbed his wrists, then sat down opposite King Wu with an expressionless expression.
Although his face was expressionless, his heart was panicking.
King Wu didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say. He was now in a state of uncertainty about life and death.
After a while, King Wu spoke first: "You must have many questions in your heart, but today you and I can talk openly and honestly."
"I'm tired. Please allow me to rest for a while. Are any of my men still alive?"
Fang Zheng felt aches all over his body and his mind was a little confused. Now was not a good time to talk about the matter, so he could only try to delay it for a while.
King Wu smiled and said: "Okay, I have plenty of time to wait for you. I have also captured your subordinate. His life is not in danger. Come, take Mr. Fang to the bedroom to rest..."
"Wait a minute, I want to meet my subordinates first."
"Okay. Take him there, don't neglect it."
Seeing that King Wu was so easy to talk to, Fang Zhengyi felt a little relieved.
It seems that King Wu has some plans for him, so he should be safe for a while.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Not long after, Fang Zhengyi followed the guards to the room where Zhou Tie was imprisoned. The room had no windows and only two oil lamps were lit inside.
There are also many guards on duty outside the door. There is one person just a few steps away. The guards are extremely tight.
At this time, Zhou Tie was still covered by a black hood. Fang Zheng stepped forward and ripped off Zhou Tie's hood.
Zhou Tie slowly opened his eyes, first glanced at the guards in the room, and then looked at Fang Zheng with a surprised expression.
Surprised: "Master, how did you... Who captured us? They didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"It's King Wu. Let's not talk about anything else. How are you?"
Zhou Tie didn't answer, but hinted at Fang Zhengyi with his eyes.
Fang Zheng understood the idea wholeheartedly and said to the guards on his left and right: "You guys go out, I have something to say to him."
"No." The guard replied coldly.
Before he could continue speaking, Fang Zheng quickly walked to the wall and punched the wall hard.
Blood immediately flowed down the seams of his fists and smeared on his face.
Fang Zheng smiled, looked at the guard and said, "If you don't get out, I will tell King Wu that you abused me."
"This room is sealed all around, and there are so many people outside. If you just guard the door, we can't escape."
The leading guard frowned, looked at the people around him, and then said: "After one stick of incense, Mr. Fang, please follow us back to the room to rest."
"Thank you."
Seeing the guard closing the door, Fang Zheng turned to one side, glanced sideways at Zhou Tie, and sighed, "If Zhang Biao were here, I should be sleeping at home at this time."
Zhou Tie's face turned red and he whispered: "Zhang Biao is no better than me! Master, it's really not me. The knife is already pressed against your back. There are three people behind you, so I can only pretend to be invincible."
"Otherwise, with just those few people, I could take care of them with one hand!"
"But don't worry, I pretended to be faint and sneaked over. I've left marks along the way. If the brothers find out, they will come looking for us."
"What did you use to mark it?" Fang Zhengyi asked curiously.
Zhou Tie stretched out his hands, and the rope tied to his back was untied at this moment.
Then he untied the rope from his ankle, stood up and loosened his muscles.
Then the outer robe was unfolded, revealing the densely packed flying knives and gadgets inside...
"..." Fang Zhengyi said with a strange expression: "Are you imitating Zhang Biao?"
Zhou Tie originally had a proud look on his face, but when he heard this, his expression suddenly collapsed: "Pah! I imitated him? Pah! He was all taught by me... Pah!"
"Don't be so fussy. If the brothers can't come, can we both escape from here?"
Zhou Tie stamped his feet and frowned: "This is a ship. I could hear that there were at least a hundred people when I was sent into the room."
"We don't know what's going on outside, so we can only wait for someone to come and pick us up."
"Besides, we have just arrived. Someone may come to search me in a while. These things on my body may not be hidden."
Fang Zhengyi nodded helplessly: "You can rest assured here for now. If there is an accident, you can run away without worrying about me."
"Master, I..."
"Looking at King Wu's attitude, I should be fine for the time being, so don't worry."
After that, Fang Zhengyi picked a throwing knife from his clothes and hid it in his boots, tied the rope for Zhou Tie again and turned around to go out.
Then he was sent to the bedroom.
An hour later, Fang Zhengyi was brought to King Wu again.
But this time I changed to a larger room with a window and could see the sea outside the window.
King Wu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. When he saw Fang Zheng coming, he asked with a smile: "How was your rest?"
Fang Zheng shook his head, then pointed at the guard beside him.
"My lord, they abused me!"
