Chapter 144 Slave Kingdom

There were a few wide slits between the planks to which the OARS were fastened.

When all were aboard, twenty of the Nano clan rowed, and I gathered the others together.

I first asked Cui Bin in Chinese: "Are the guns and ammunition properly placed?"

"It's all buried." Cui Bin pointed to several other people: "They also know the location."

"Have you got enough food for my journey?" I knew they'd do their best to prepare, but I couldn't resist asking.

Zhang Yutong immediately up, under the board to catch up, pointing inside: "food is in this."

As I looked down, I knew at once that the hollowed out hulls of the six canoes were where the provisions were stored.

"Brother, can you speak our language? I can't understand what you're talking about." Nanova asked gloomily.

We all laughed. I turned to native Language and said, "Brother, how long will it take us to reach your tribe on the route you came from?"

"Four days is enough." "We have enough men to sail day and night," Nanova said.

That's about three days less than it took us before.

"Ouch." Li Ding heaved a yawn: "Fei elder brother, we are already in the sea, arrange the order of the next row, we may as well have an early rest."

"Let the twenty brothers work hard tonight, the others sleep, and tomorrow morning we will work out the details." I can't take it anymore.

Find empty place, Zhang Yutong and Luci will one left one right next to me lying down.

"Lu Fei, Yutong, do you think we are missing something?" "Asked Lucie.

I put a hand, Zhang Yutong did not ignore her, directly slept in the past.

In the morning the wind is a little strong, blowing sound. I got up and saw the twenty Nanos still rowing hard.

I went out and stood outside and felt the wind blow people into the sea. The day had already brightened completely. Looking up, there was no sign of Cuckoo Island.

Returning to the cabin, seeing that most of them were awake, he stopped the twenty men who rowed, and divided the remaining forty or so into two groups, and replaced them. It's not too tiring to row in three shifts.

"Brother." I beckoned Nanova, pointed to Wu Wa, and said, "Docking with her, sit down and arrange the food."

"He doesn't need to worry about food." Wu Wa said, "When we carried it yesterday, we had already made an inventory."

"What have they got?" Thinking of a change of taste, the mood followed good up.

She called some women, opened some planks, and took out three sacks. Lined up and opened.

"There are dried yams, dried bananas and dried meat."

I picked up a piece of dried sweet potato and took a bite, which required a hard bite to break.

"Brother, is that what you eat?"

Nanova nodded. "Yes, that's all you can eat at sea. If it's too hard, you can soak it for a while."

I let Zhang Yutong to find a pottery pot, the dried sweet potatoes and dried meat are caught some thrown up. Dried bananas are thin slices that taste like potato chips.

"Lu Fei." Lu Qian looked at me and Zhang Yutong: "you and rain tong really did not discover, we little what?"

"What is it? This is the second time she's brought up the subject, but I can't remember what we left behind.

"Rain tong, you always should think of?" Lucie didn't give any specific hints.

Zhang Yutong thought for a while, and look around, suddenly shouted: "Ah... Is the little black gone?"

Lucie nodded. "Yes."

Zhang Yutong a pull wu Wa's arm, eager to ask: "Wu Wa sister, I went to find Lu Fei brother, let you help me take care of the small black, small black? You're not dead, are you?"

Wu Wa looked dazed. "No, we didn't take it with us when we went to the seaside, and we didn't see it when we withdrew. He must have hidden himself."

Zhang Yutong immediately sad up, low head said: "also don't know small black have matter, even live place all have no, it a person in cucu island how to do?"

"You don't have to worry about it." I comforted him by saying, "The little black ones have been living on the island. They will be all right. It knows how to protect itself and find food."

Zhang Yutong pitifully said: "but small black follow us for a long time, it must think we abandoned it."

"Absolutely not. It's not that stupid." "Don't worry," I said. "When we get back to Bugu Island, we'll go find Little Black."

Zhang Yutong HMM 1, only the difference did not cry out.

Our voyage at sea went very well, and three days later, the island of the great tribe, as scheduled, appeared in our sight. The only bad things on the way are the food that requires a lot of chewing.

As I changed shifts with Nanova and the others, I asked, "Dude, where do we land?"

"We have a port, but it is guarded and not suitable for landing there. We can land in another cove and go straight to our kingdom."

"What is your kingdom like?" I'm still curious.

Nanova gave me a very detailed introduction. Their kingdom was surrounded by a huge oval wall. It is divided into the royal palace surrounded by small walls, residential areas for the people, and the largest cultivated area. Everyone in their kingdom could be called an aristocrat, because there were slaves in every house. Even the most abject subject had a slave or two in his house.

"In those families where there are few slaves, the life of the slave is particularly hard?" I became very interested in their kingdom.

"That sort of man needs work for himself. One or two slaves are not enough to drive him." "We all marry our slaves and give them children," says Nanova.

"The children born to you continue to work as slaves?"

"Yes, or there wouldn't be so many slaves. That way, the slaves won't escape and make trouble." "But they all had a hard time," nanova said. "The older slaves had to work for the family and the younger slaves took care of the younger masters. The more effort you make, the more land you reclaim and the richer your family becomes."

"You are the only one tribe on the island. How much food you grow is just for your own use?" Too many slaves would seem to be a problem.

Nanova shook her head. "No, we have trade. We trade with several kingdoms and many tribes. And slaves don't live very long, and if you don't keep young slaves, they're not useful enough."

"Where are the kingdoms? I find it strange that there are several kingdoms, and many tribes, that have not yet been discovered by modern civilization.

Nanova shook her head. "I don't know. They have to be our king's emissaries. Long ago, the emissary of our kingdom joined the other kingdoms to kill the king, and the emissary became king. Other kingdoms are afraid of this and do the same."

"Is it not feared that the messenger will do so?

"No, the emissaries are royal. They wouldn't do that." Nanova's tone was decidedly positive.

Which makes me even more confused. Royalty is the most likely group to rebel. But according to Nanova, the royal family is remarkably united.

"Big brother." Nanova continued, "When I sit as king, I will know about those kingdoms and tribes. I can tell you where they are then."

It doesn't really matter to me where they are. He got up and went into the cabin.

The next afternoon, I was sleeping when Nanova came to wake me up and said we were going to land.

I ran out and saw that the island was only a few hundred meters away.

"We need access to the wall during the day, and no one will be allowed in or out at night." "We can have a good rest tonight and land on the island in the morning," Nanova said.

"It's better for us to move at night." "As you can see," I said, "we don't look like you, we don't look like you. Prince Zeno is out fighting. You should be allowed to enter the city by running back to declare an emergency."

Nanova thought for a moment. "But there are too many of us. We will not all be allowed to enter the city."

"Then let most people lie in ambush around the perimeter, you take a few people to deceive open the gate, and then kill the defenders of the city." "Then put your men on the gate," I suggested. Will the two little clans you are related to be on your side?"

Nanova looked startled and shook her head. "The master of the Chinto clan is my uncle, and the other master is my cousin. If we rebel together, my uncle will take the throne. If I don't follow the rules, even my people won't support me anymore."
