Chapter 1001: A bunch of keys

A bright moon hung in the dark sky.
The same scenery, reflected on the calm sea, seems to have the same high sky and the same quiet moon at the bottom of the water.
A ship, along the coast, made waves of ripples and sailed toward the depths of the sea.
A tall figure stands on the bow.
His body is tall and straight, like a pine tree, no matter how heavy a storm is, he can't bend over; his eyes are firm, like a rock that has gone through thousands of years, even if it is hardened by wind and rain, he can't bend.
Facing the boundless sea in front of him, there was also a trace of confusion in his expression.
I don't seem to know why I am here.
At this time, an old man walked out of the cabin. He appeared to be the owner of the ship. His clothes were very simple and his expression was very calm. Only wrinkles on his face showed the storms and waves of his life.
He said: "This noble man."
The man at the bow did not turn his head, but stood motionless with his hands behind his back.
The boatman said: "This nobleman, are you really going to sea tonight?"
The person at the bow still didn't look back, but said in a deep voice: "I--, when I paid you, I made it very clear."
The boatman said: "Yes, it's just—"
"But what."
"However, there are really big waves at sea tonight."
"Oh?"
"The old man is very popular, and he is not an ordinary person. Why do you insist on going to sea on such a stormy night?"
"..."
"We people are all for making money, and we can put our lives on our waistbands, but the lives of noble people are more valuable than our lives, and if something happens, it will be even more regrettable?
The man at the bow was silent for a while, and said, "Human lives are worth money."
"Then why do the nobles insist on going to sea?"
"Why..."
He fell silent, his eyes looked into the distance, the deeper sea, as if he couldn't see the watch, let alone what was at the end of his sight.
He murmured: "Yes, why...?"
"..."
"Why must I want to go to sea?"
Leaving Yujia, without anyone noticing, he went on the road alone, not on the official road, but on a shortcut, and soon reached the canal; he rented a boat and went south, but he did not enter directly. Changqing City.
Instead, he changed the boat and wanted to go to sea.
Even if all the boatmen warned him, although it looks clear today, there will be a big storm on the sea. No one dares to go out to sea easily and advise him not to make jokes about his life, but he still insists.
In the end, there must be a brave man under the reward.
This old boatman, because the youngest son in the family was sick, continued to receive a large sum of money for medical treatment. In order to earn this life-saving money, he agreed to him.
At this moment, they are in the boundless sea.
The outline of the land behind him is gradually invisible.
This feeling is actually very bad.
People need a sense of security, just like a person no matter how strong and strong he is, but he hopes to have a warm family, so that no matter how he is out there, he may even fight all over the world. In the end, there is a safe place for him. Rest by yourself and lick the wound.
And the most basic sense of security for people comes from the ground under their feet.
As long as there is a place to stand, then the most basic sense of security is still in my heart, but when it comes to the sea, it is different.
This ship looks sturdy, but who knows, will it capsize in wind and waves?
Although he has accepted it since he was sober, or remembered his identity as the emperor, everything he does is "what the emperor should do." For example, no matter how good his martial arts is, he will bring a group of himself around him. With a wave of your hand, you can "protect" yourself by hitting a guard who is lying down.
After all, he is in possession of everything.
But this time, what he did was something that no normal emperor dared and absolutely should not do.
Going on the road alone, even renting a boat, under the persuasion of everyone, or going to sea in the stormy night.
That's because there is always an inexplicable feeling in my heart, guiding myself.
It seems that he has something important and left it outside.
on the sea.
Therefore, he must find it back.
"Noble? Noble?"
The old boatman beside him was still cautiously calling him, Zhu Feng slowly turned his head, under the moonlight, his eyes looked a little dazed, but there was an unspeakable perseverance in the sadness.
He said, "You don't have to worry about that much."
"..."
"The money has been given to your family."
"..."
"What you have to do now is to set the boat properly and let me see what is on the sea."
Hearing what he said, I knew he was determined and insisted.
The old boatman smiled and nodded: "Well, the old man once made a vow in front of the Bodhisattva. As long as his son can survive, he is willing to use this life in exchange. Now, the money given by the nobleman is enough to cure me. What if my son is sick, and this life is handed over to the nobleman?"
After speaking, he walked to the rudder.
The sea became calmer.
And in this calm, something seemed to be surging secretly, ready to roar out at any time.


On the ship on the other side, a ray of moonlight shined through the skylight on the quiet promenade.
Jian Ruocheng was silent in the moonlight.
Munch looked at him for a long time, then said, "You don't want to say it?"
"..."
"You don't want to talk about it, so what deal?"
Jian Ruocheng frowned slightly, still silent, as if he was still hesitant to tell him.
Looking at Jian Ruocheng's hesitation, Munch chuckled again, and then said: "You know, I am also the emperor of Lai. Although you are not a courtier of Lai, you should be very clear that as an emperor, you cannot Tolerate that people in front of you have something to hide."
"..."
"You are very clear about the purpose of my coming here, but if you still have something to hide from me, then there will be no deal between us, let alone any cooperation."
"..."
"I can only tell the master about your behavior."
"..."
Jian Ruocheng's brows suddenly wrinkled.
He raised his head to look at Munch, his eyes darkened, and even the moonlight above his head could not shine into his eyes.
Munch smiled and said, "I think Nan Yan must not know, you still have this side."
"..."
"To be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would not believe that you, such a modest gentleman, would have such a side."
"okay."
Jian Ruocheng's voice was low and deep, as if not speaking from his mouth, but condensing out of the darkness.
"I can tell you."
Munch looked at him with interest.
Jian Ruocheng said, "I want something from that person."
"what?"
"A bunch of keys."
