    In the dim cabin, there are no walls to block it. It is just divided into separate areas by iron fences between the pillars. They look almost exactly the same as cells. Each cell is divided into a  There are long strips, just enough for an adult to lie down, and inside these long strips, there are Japanese Japanese people who look dull.

    Li Min covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief dipped in vinegar, frowning and looking around at the interior of the slave ship. Although there were some windows around the cabin to let in the cool sea breeze, the people in the cabin were really  There were too many, and these slaves ate, drank, and drank all in the cabin. You can imagine how strong the smell in the cabin was. Fortunately, Tiger Shark and the two had experience and gave him a hand towel dipped in vinegar before coming in, but even though  This still made him feel a little unbearable.

    Suppressing the stench in the cabin, Li Min quickly turned around and found that the cabin was carrying male slaves from the Japanese country. Although they were short in stature, they were all in their prime of age. They were considered a good ship of slaves.  I heard from the two tiger sharks that this was an order from a large landowner in the Andong Protectorate. He wanted to use these Japanese people to cut grass and herd sheep. This kind of work is not very productive and the requirements for slaves are not that high, so they chose these.  Cheap Japanese slaves.

    Li Min remembered that the history books of later generations described the scene when black slaves were sold. When the African slaves were on the sea ship, in order to use the first inch of space, all the black slaves sat in rows together, carrying clothes with them.  He was shackled and couldn't even straighten his legs, let alone a place to lie down.  Compared with the black slaves in later generations, Li Min is much happier when he sees slaves now. They all have their own territory. Although it is not very big, they can lie down. This kind of treatment is happier than the black slaves in later generations.  too much.

    In fact, although slave traders like Tiger Shark were cruel, they were not as cruel to the slaves in their hands as the Western slave traders of later generations. There were even people cleaning the cabins. If you were sick, as long as it was not serious, a doctor would prescribe treatment.  The soup, medicine, and even the food are not too bad, at least people will not die from eating something bad.

    There are two main reasons for this situation. First, the slave traders are all Han Chinese. Although they may not have read books, they have at least been educated that human life is at stake, and they generally value human life.  They don't want to hurt more lives if it's not necessary.  Secondly, because there are relatively few sources of slaves, and there is a huge demand for slaves both in the Tang Dynasty and in Li Min's country, so the value of slaves is not low. If a large number of slaves are lost on the road, then the slave merchants will earn more.  Just less.

    After roughly taking a look at the slaves in the cabin, Li Min rushed out immediately, and then climbed on the side of the boat to breathe in the air. Although the two tigers and sharks were already used to the smell of the cabin, they did not want to stay in there any longer, so  Then they came out. As for Xi Junmai and the other guards, they thought it didn't matter. After all, they were all killed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The smell would not make them lose their composure.

    After such a fumigation in the cabin, Li Min no longer had any interest in slave transportation. Smiling Tiger was a good person, so he immediately suggested: "Your Highness, the cook on the passenger ship where I live is good, and he is good at cooking Guanzhong cuisine.  , and there is also some fine Western wine stored in the cabin, why don¡¯t we go there and have a few drinks to dissipate the turbidity from our bodies?¡±

    Li Min nodded after hearing this. The passenger ship that Smiling Tiger mentioned was also a ship specially used to transport people, but it was different from these ships that transported slaves. The facilities on the passenger ship were complete, and each guest had a separate cabin.  Traveling between the two ports, although Slave Port is still under construction, it is valued by Li Min, so there are many merchants and government personnel coming and going, so naturally there are passenger ships running specifically to pull people.  The Smiling Tiger brothers thought the smell on their ship was bad, so they spent money to live on the passenger ship, and usually traveled by boat between several ships.

    Li Min had known before that there was a passenger ship in the fleet that brought passengers, but he never paid much attention to it. Now that there is nothing wrong with it, he might as well go and take a look.  Thinking of this, Li Min nodded to the Smiling Tiger and said, "Okay, I haven't eaten Guanzhong-style dishes for a long time. Your words have aroused my greed."

    Seeing that Li Min agreed, Smiling Tiger was naturally overjoyed and immediately sent people back to prepare.  Li Min and the others took a small boat to the passenger ship, and first visited the residence of the two tiger sharks. After all, it was his first time on a passenger ship and he was very curious about the layout inside.  When they came out of the cabin, they saw a table of prepared food and wine placed on the deck of the bow, with a large umbrella open above it to block the midday sun.

    Seeing that the service on the ship was so attentive, Li Min was surprised but also very satisfied. He asked the two tiger sharks to sit down, and then picked up the chopsticks to taste the chef's craftsmanship. He found that although it was not as good as the chef at his own house,  It's delicious, but it can also be regarded as a very authentic Guanzhong flavor, which makes him have a big appetite. Coupled with the Smiling Tiger and the two people toasting one after another,I was so shocked that I couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

    Although the alcohol content of the wine is low, drinking too much can make you intoxicating. Just when Li Min was drinking and his face was reddish and his eyes were a little hazy, he suddenly saw a graceful woman flashing across the deck on the right. She looked very beautiful.  Looks familiar, as if I¡¯ve seen it somewhere?

    This made Li Min a little surprised. He stood up holding on to the table and walked to the deck on that side. The guards around him naturally followed closely.  As a result, Li Min happened to see the woman turn around and come back, holding a medicine jar in her hand. Although it was empty, it still gave off a pungent smell of medicine. It seemed that the woman had just poured out the medicine dregs.

    "Huh? Why is it you?" Li Min asked in surprise. The other party turned out to be the woman he had rescued at the slave trading site. If he remembered correctly, the other party seemed to be named Feng Shuyu.

    Feng Shuyu suddenly saw a young man blocking his way, and he couldn't help but have a look of anger on his face. He said in a cold voice: "Master, please respect yourself. This little girl is Han. If you don't get out of the way, I will call the people on the boat."  Guarded!"

    When Li Min rescued their brother and sister, his face was disguised, but today Li Min showed his true face, so Feng Shuyu didn't recognize him for a while, and just thought he was some frivolous person on the passenger ship. After all, she had a beautiful appearance.  Wushuang, ever since she got on the ship, there have been people trying to harass her, but they were all stopped by the guards on the ship.

    When Li Min heard Feng Shuyu¡¯s cold words, he was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and couldn¡¯t help joking: ¡°Why, Miss Feng just escaped from the disaster, and now she doesn¡¯t even recognize me as her benefactor?¡±

    Feng Shuyu also felt familiar with Li Min's voice. After hearing it, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Li Min carefully. Originally, Li Min's disguise was not very clever at first. In addition, Feng Shuyu was deeply impressed by the person who saved him from the sea of ??suffering, so he quickly recognized him.  When Li Min came, he was happy at first, but then he was shocked. He immediately knelt down and said, "The daughter of the people pays homage to His Highness, King Qi!"

    Li Min had no intention of hiding his identity, so he smiled and asked the other party to get up. When he saw the medicine jar in Feng Shuyu's arms, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "What, is Miss Feng sick?"

    Unexpectedly, when Feng Shuyu heard Li Min's casual question, he seemed to have found someone who could express his grievances. Two lines of clear tears welled up in his big eyes like lake water. He bit his plump lips and said: "Your Highness Qi  , the little girl is not sick, but the brother is seriously ill. Although he has been seen by the doctor on the ship, he has not improved, and he has not even been able to eat for the past two days!"

    Li Min had helped the Feng brothers and sisters once before, so when Feng Shuyu saw Li Min again, it was natural that he had met someone he could rely on. The grievances he had suffered because of worrying about his brother in the past few days suddenly burst out in front of Li Min.  He started crying.

    Seeing the pear blossoms in the rain, Li Min couldn't help but feel a little pity for her. However, the other party was a girl and had nothing to do with him. He didn't know how to comfort her?  Finally, he had an idea and said: "Miss Feng, don't cry in a hurry. I have a skilled doctor on board. I will send someone to call him now to give your brother a diagnosis and treatment. Maybe he can be cured."  Got it!"

    Li Min's words worked as expected, and Feng Shuyu immediately stopped crying. The person in front of him was His Royal Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty. The medical skills of the imperial doctor around him were naturally not comparable to those of the doctors on the passenger ship. If the imperial doctor performed the diagnosis and treatment, it would be very difficult.  It is possible to cure my brother's illness.

    Thinking of this, Feng Shuyu cried with joy and thanked Li Min with tears.  But then she felt that it was rude to let Li Min stand on the deck, and immediately asked Li Min to enter the cabin where she lived. Li Min did not forget what he had just said, and told the guard beside him to let him go and take care of him.  The ship's royal physician was invited.

    The cabin Feng Shuyu lived in had two rooms, an inner one and an outer one. Feng Shijie lived in the inner room due to illness, while Feng Shuyu lived in the outer room.  The space in the cabin was small. As soon as Li Min entered the door, he saw a neatly folded bed and quilts. There were also several pieces of women's clothes stacked together at the head of the bed. Even the sharp-eyed Li Min noticed that in the end,  The bottom piece is still a woman's bellyband.

    Feng Shuyu didn't expect to meet an acquaintance at all. In addition, he had to take care of his brother these days, so he didn't have time to clean up. When he saw the clothes on the bed, especially when he saw Li Min still staring at them, his face immediately changed.  Hong, hurriedly walked over to pack it up, and then asked Li Min to sit on the bed.  This was also a helpless move. After all, there were no tables, chairs or other items in the cabin except for beds.

    Li Min knew that the Feng brothers and sisters lived in the lowest cabin. The cabin where Tiger and Shark lived was much more luxurious than this one. Not only were tables and chairs available, but there were even specially equipped servants. The service was excellent.  Extremely thoughtful.

    However, Li Min was too embarrassed to sit on the bed of an unmarried girl, so he proposed to visit Feng Shijie. After all, the two of them were related.The fate of face.  But when Feng Shuyu opened the door inside, Li Min was shocked when he saw Feng Shijie lying on the bed. If he hadn't known it beforehand, he would never have believed that the dying man on the bed was actually  That Feng Shijie who fought desperately to save his sister?
