stealing from you

The river water is cold, the thin smoke is like gauze, the cold moon, the bright moonlight, and the silvery light are sprinkled on the river surface, making the whole river shine brightly.

A merchant ship staggered through the bridge opening, and the shore was chattering, and some even threw silks and satins to solicit business from the merchants on board.

The merchant ship is not big, but it has everything in the cabin, beds, chess table, coffee table, incense burner, books... The Shen family is indeed a rich man, even the merchant ship is so luxurious.

Ye Zhou and Liansheng were on this merchant ship.

"That..." Lian Sheng put one hand on the back of his head, and the injured hand rested on his stomach. He said coolly, "It's so exciting outside. If you are interested, you can go."

In the middle of the night, the business here can be said to be in full swing.

Ye Zhou looked away from the book, he casually put the book aside, leaned over and leaned on Liansheng, "Once I leave, will you stay there?"

Hmph, I really want to go.Lian Sheng closed his eyes, "I'll sleep, you can do whatever you want."

"Isn't the wound so painful that I can't sleep." Ye Zhou gently raised his injured arm, "It's cold at night, so put on a quilt."

"Are you going to read the book all night?" Lian Sheng was already dissatisfied, "You have been reading it for two days."

Ye Zhou pulled the quilt over him and got into bed himself. He blew out the candle in the lantern, lay beside Lian Sheng, and said, "I don't want to look at it."

"..." Feeling powerless for no reason, Liansheng sighed and closed his eyes.

In his sleep, Lian Sheng was awakened by a rustling sound, which came from outside the cabin.

As soon as he woke up, Ye Zhou covered his mouth.

After being hunted down for so long, Liansheng has already had a conditioned reflex, and now he is completely motionless.

Satisfied with Lian Sheng's reaction, Ye Zhou let go of his hand and silently patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to move, then sat up slowly and stared at the cabin door.

Lian Sheng's hand touched the dagger under the pillow, and he held the hilt tightly, as if anyone dared to rush in, he would kill him immediately.

Unusually clear footsteps, the cabin door was knocked, and a voice came: "Yuchen, it's me."

Lian Sheng frowned, he loosened the hilt of his sword, asked Ye Zhou to light the lamp, then sat by the bed and said, "Come in."

The hatch opened, and a young man came in. He glanced at Ye Zhou with suspicion.

Lian Sheng said: "Just say what you have to say."

"The corpse bug has worked." The young man said gratefully, "Thanks to you."

"So he's awake?" Lian Sheng asked indifferently.

"I only woke up for an hour, and then passed out again." The young man lowered his eyes, "Third, third young master asked me to convey a new mission——Golden Gate Fire."

Lian Sheng was a little surprised: "What is that?"

Ye Zhou paused his hand holding the lamp, and stared at the young man coldly: "That's extinct gunpowder."

"Extinct?"

The young man nodded: "Yes, only the Jin family, a former gunpowder family, can make the most powerful gunpowder in the world, and the formula for making gunpowder has been lost for a long time."

Lian Sheng twitched the corner of his mouth, "So...where do you want me to find it?"

"There are still descendants of the Jin family. A while ago, a village named Bailian Village disappeared overnight. After investigation, it was the Jinmen fire."

Hearing this, Lian Sheng nodded: "I'm going there tomorrow."

After the young man conveyed the message, he didn't stay for a moment and left quickly.

Liansheng yawned, and before he could say anything, Ye Zhou pushed him down on the bed, their noses facing each other.

"Where are you going tomorrow?" Ye Zhou asked with a smile.

Well, I knew he would be angry.Lian Sheng blinked, "I can't refuse."

"You haven't told me who that person is." Ye Zhou laughed back angrily, he didn't even know who Lian Sheng was working for!

The more you know, the more you will be involved. Liansheng didn't want Ye Zhou to know too much. He frowned and hissed, "You touched my wound."

Ye Zhou's gaze moved down to his arm, red blood had already oozed out, he immediately got up to treat Liansheng's wound.

Just when Liansheng thought he had escaped a catastrophe, Ye Zhou said calmly: "If you deliberately break the wound, I will directly cripple your hand."

Lian Sheng rubbed his nose, thinking in his heart, you are willing to do so.

The night passed without incident. Ye Zhou and Lian Sheng got off the boat just after dawn, and drank hot soy milk by the side of the road.

"Bailian Village..." Lian Sheng gnawed on a steamed bun while studying the map.

Ye Zhou covered the map with one hand, "Eat well."

With the steamed bun in his mouth, Liansheng took the map out of Ye Zhou's hand with one hand, shook it, and put it back in the bag.

"The Kinmen fire has been gone for 30 years, I really don't want it to reappear." Ye Zhou said.

Lian Sheng said, "You haven't been born in 30 years, right?"

"Master has seen it before." Ye Zhou told him, "Master said that he once saw a city burn to ashes in an instant. That's what Jinmen Fire can do. If it appeared in the world, how many people would it destroy?"

Liansheng was silent, and after a long time, he said: "I just need to complete the task."

"Even if you are reckless and unscrupulous?" Ye Zhou's eyes became dangerous.

Liansheng bit the bullet and said: "Don't follow me if you don't want to, I still think you are cumbersome."

Knowing that he said this to get rid of himself, but it sounded so unpleasant, Ye Zhou looked at Lian Sheng's still struggling expression, "I have the responsibility to watch over you and not let you go astray."

Lian Sheng supported his head with one hand, "I can't turn back anymore."

"Then don't look back." Ye Zhou narrowed his eyes with a smile, "I will let you go on the right path, even if... by any means."

If Liansheng's other hand hadn't been injured, he would have covered his ears with both hands, whether he could hear or not, he didn't hear anything, what did the devil Ye just say?can't hear can't hear...

Faced with Liansheng's cute reaction of knocking his forehead on the table, Ye Zhou smiled, gently patted the back of his head, and then paid for the bill.
