The pier, with its layers upon layers of people, was filled with crowds of people.
Not to mention taking a boat from the pier back to the imperial capital, I probably wouldn't be able to fly away even if I had wings.
Ji Yuqi looked at the blocked docks, and the hope that had finally ignited was instantly extinguished. She asked Pei Yucheng, "What should we do?! The inspection is so strict, we can't get away with it."
…
The person who arranged the pick-up was a local fisherman.
The moment he heard Pei Yucheng say the secret code, his face changed with fear.
He quickly welcomed the person into the house and then quickly closed the door.
Without waiting for Pei Yucheng to speak, he had already talked a lot in the local language.
Ji Yuqi couldn't understand the dialect.
But looking at his expression when he spoke, he looked anxious and in a very difficult situation.
Seeing Pei Yucheng remained silent, the fisherman thought he didn't understand what he was saying, so he translated again in his stifled Z language: "Originally, this wharf was jointly managed by the three major warlords, but the young general of the Huadu Mansion was disfigured and took full control of the wharf three days ago. He searches it over and over again five or six times a day. I can't help you at all."
In the past, it was jointly managed by three major warlords.
There are loopholes to exploit.
Now that the entire army is under command and martial law is in place at every level, there is really nothing we can do.
Ji Yuqi was already frightened after hearing what the fisherman said. She instinctively looked at Pei Yucheng, who frowned and remained silent for a long moment before speaking softly, "You are a local and know the local situation well. There is nothing you can't help, unless you don't want to."
The fisherman waved his hands and said, "There's really nothing we can do..."
He seemed to want to say something else, but Pei Yucheng took off the watch on his left wrist and put it directly into his hand. The fisherman saw the watch brand logo clearly, hesitated for a few seconds, and then continued in his stifled Z language: "I do have a way, but... you and..."
The fisherman paused, shifting his inquiring gaze towards Ji Yuqi. After some deliberation, he added, "Your wife might have to suffer."
Ji Yuqi was still analyzing what "suffer some suffering" meant.
The fisherman asked, "Will it float?!"
Due to the comprehensive blockade and martial law, the number of ships allowed to leave the dock every day is not only very limited, but each ship will also undergo repeated inspections for up to half an hour.
The fishermen's method was to hide under the boat, sneak into the dock, and wait until the boat obtained navigation permission and left the dock, and then the crew would pull them back on board.
Ji Yuqi was extremely afraid of water.
Not to mention diving to the bottom of the ship, she felt suffocated even if she held her breath for three seconds.
But.
There is no way to escape unless you dive under the boat.
at last.
She still agreed.
According to the fishermen's speculation, the fishing boat would set sail after a maximum of half an hour of inspection, but there was no sign of it sailing for a full forty minutes.
The oxygen in the small oxygen tank was running out.
Ji Yuqi felt that he was about to suffocate to death.
The man who had been floating on her side, holding her up and preventing her from sinking, suddenly put his oxygen mask on her face.
The moment the oxygen entered her mouth and nose, Ji Yuqi felt that she was alive again.
only.
They had clearly dived into the water together and opened their oxygen tanks together, so why was her air supply already gone while his still had a full ten minutes of air left?!
Ji Yuqi looked at the man beside him.
He was bigger than her, so strictly speaking, he should have consumed more oxygen than her.
However, there was still so much oxygen left, which meant that he had turned off the oxygen tank for at least ten minutes.
When Pei Yucheng received Ji Yuqi's gaze, he made a few gestures towards her.
Although I don’t particularly understand it.
However, Ji Yuqi roughly understood what it meant: tell her not to be afraid, try to adjust her breathing, and not let the oxygen be consumed too quickly.
