When asked whether the news was reliable, Bai Zhi shook her head and said slightly embarrassed: "I don't know about this"
Yunjing ate for a moment, a little speechless. You don¡¯t even know if the news is reliable, so you tell me that this ship is being targeted? If I hadn't had a good attitude, would you have come with me if I was scared?
Then Yunjing asked: "Why did Miss Bai say this?"
"It's like this, Mr. Yun. After you fell asleep yesterday, Boss Xing and the others caught a suspicious person on the boat. That person was probably an informant sent by the Jiang bandits to plant on the boat. After catching him, they were conducting a secret interrogation. I don¡¯t know exactly what happened and what the result was. Only Boss Xing and the others know," Bai Zhi quickly explained.
Nodding, Yunjing said: "That's right, it's related to the safety of the entire ship. I'll wait and ask if I can understand the situation so that I can be prepared to deal with it."
"Don't worry, Mr. Yun. Boss Xing and the others often run on this river. There are one or two hundred guards on the boat. Boss Xing himself is also an innate practitioner. If some blind river bandits dare to offend, there is nothing to worry about," Bai Zhi comforted.
I'm not worried
Muttering in his heart, Yunjing said: "It's better to be careful. Since someone dares to take advantage of this ship, they must be prepared, just in case a big fish comes."
Big fish?
Mr. Yun, did you use the wrong word in this metaphor? Maybe Mr. Yun was a little confused in his sleep.
Bai Zhi glanced at Yun Jing in astonishment, then smiled and said: "Master Yun is right, it is always better to be careful." After saying that, she did not look at Yun Jing and continued casually: "If you are really in danger, , The sword has no eyes, Mr. Yun, remember not to act out of anger, and try to stay as close to me as possible. I think I am quite capable, and I will try my best to protect you."
She seemed to have said these words casually, but in fact she had thought about it carefully. Men all care about face. She tried her best to protect Yunjing's self-esteem and did not directly say such things as "I will protect you when the time comes."
"Thank you Miss Bai, please rest assured. I am not a reckless person. If there is such a danger, I will put my own safety first." Yun Jing said with a smile, how could he not feel the other party's invisible concern.
However, Yunjing was a little surprised. He was fine before, but why did Bai Zhi become so interested in him after he took a nap? He also brought himself food as soon as possible and would protect himself when in danger. The two of them had only known each other for a few days. Although they could be considered friends, this was a bit too much.
Could it be that she is greedy for her own beauty?
I don¡¯t know what Yun Jing is thinking. After all, Bai Zhi is not a mind reader. When she heard Yun Jing¡¯s answer, she smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s good that Mr. Yun understands that safety is always the first priority when going out. Remember not to act out of emotion, otherwise once An accident will only make your loved ones angry and your enemies happy. It is not a shameful thing to bow your head and beg for mercy when necessary. Living is more important than anything else."
Yunjing was able to listen to what she said, which reassured Bai Zhi a lot. She had good intentions and said good words. She was afraid that when Yunjing was in danger, the scholar's stubborn temper would come forward and rush forward. That would be called a surrender. People have headaches.
As far as Bai Zhi knows, scholars often value integrity more than life. They are obviously afraid to death when encountering danger, but for the sake of face, they have to bravely rush forward, as if we are scholars, we can lose our generous and just heart. Losing one's attitude often results in losing one's life in vain. In the eyes of people like them, it is completely meaningless. Everyone is dead, so what's the use of leaving a little reputation? Who will remember you after time passes?
"Ms. Bai's words are reasonable. Living is more important than anything else," Yun Jing nodded and said seriously.
" Mr. Yun is a little different from other scholars. If other scholars hear that living is more important than anything else, they will definitely scoff and argue with reason. They will present facts and reason and give countless examples to show that living is not the whole meaning of life.
It¡¯s hard to find a man like him who is good-looking, talented, and understands the ways of the world. It¡¯s a pity that he is engaged.
Why didn¡¯t you meet him earlier Well, it¡¯s useless to meet him earlier. I heard he said he got engaged at the age of two
There were a lot of thoughts in her mind at once. Bai Zhi felt that she would not think about these annoying things for the time being. Then she glanced at the painting of cloud scenery on the table not far away and changed the subject: "To be honest, Boss Xing and the others can catch that person." The suspicious person has been reminded by Mr. Yun."
"My reminder? What did I remind you of?" Yunjing said blankly.
Smiling, Bai Zhi said: "Master Yun painted a person communicating with the eagle hovering in the sky in that painting. Boss Xing became suspicious after seeing it, and then he took action to catch the suspicious person. Isn't it just Mr. Yun's reminder? I hope the situation will not develop in a bad direction."
"Um, is there such a thing? I just drew what I saw, I didn't think much about it," Yun Jing said in shock.
After hearing this, Bai Zhi immediately covered her mouth and laughed. She laughed so hard that her branches trembled and her chest surged. There was still a lot of material under her loose coarse clothes
The reason why she laughed was because she thought of Luo Zheng's words: Yun Jing didn't understand his painting at all, he was just a painter.
Instinctively, his eyes were attracted by the fluctuation on Bai Zhi's chest. Yun Jing quickly looked away and asked, "What is Miss Bai laughing at?"
"No, it's nothing, I just thought of something happy." Bai Zhi noticed Yun Jing's eyes and waved her hands with shame.
Yunjing: ""
How happy are you? You are playing tricks on me here.
Speaking of girls practicing martial arts, wouldn¡¯t it be a burden if the place is too big? If you have a chance, ask someone. As for who to ask, I will talk about it later when I have a chance
The two of them were talking, and soon Yunjing finished what Bai Zhi had brought, and it was cleaner than a dog licking.
"I don't know if she is in the mentality of 'as long as my brother looks good, my three senses will follow my five senses'," Bai Zhi saw that Yun Jing ate every last bit of food, and immediately felt that Yun Jing must be a good man who saves money and takes care of his family.
If it were an ugly one, it would probably be criticized as a loser.
She took the initiative to help clean up the dishes and said, "By the way, Mr. Yun, what are you going to do with your painting?"
"You are talking about paintings. I have already agreed with Brother Xing that after the paintings are completed, I will sell them to him first," Yun Jing said with a smile.
Bai Zhi said: "But Boss Xing said Mr. Yun that your painting is so good that he might not be able to afford it even if he sells himself."
Yunjing: ""
Are your paintings that good? No, how could Xing Guangning go back on his word? I had already painted it, but you didn¡¯t want it, so why should I bother?
"He really said that?" Yunjing asked after thinking about it.
His original intention was to paint the picture of the trackers' hardships so that more people can see it and let people understand the hardships at the bottom. It doesn't need to be many people to feel compassion. Even if there are a few by chance, they can help in disguise. The purpose of those at the bottom.
¡°In the end, Xing Guangning didn¡¯t want it. If it fell into his hands, how many people did he know?
Bai Zhi nodded and said, "He really said that."
"I'll ask him again. After all, we have agreed to be honest. If he really doesn't want it, I will find a way to deal with it. By the way, I will ask about the follow-up of the suspicious person. Maybe it was a misunderstanding and a false alarm."
Yunjing thought for a while and said, then walked towards the painting.
The painting he drew was nothing interesting. He glanced at it casually, rolled it up, took his luggage and Bai Zhi and left the room to find Xing Guangning.
The suite on the cargo ship costs 500 taels of silver. Yunjing can't afford it. Although he slept here after being tired from painting, Xing Guangning didn't say anything, but he is not a cheap person and will stay here to wait for others to come. It's embarrassing to drive away monsters, but it's better to be knowledgeable.
The two of them separated after going out. Bai Zhi wanted to return the dishes and did not go with Yun Jing.
The meal we had before was probably paid for by Bai Zhi, and she was not a rich person. Yunjing decided to find an opportunity to return the favor. There was no need to explain this kind of thing clearly, so as not to make people feel chilled.
Arriving outside the captain¡¯s room, Yunjing saw two guards with knives guarding the door with serious expressions, so he cupped his hands and said, ¡°Brothers, is the captain here?¡±
"I wonder what this young master wants from our boss?" one of the guards asked, looking at Yun Jing.
Without waiting for Yun Jing¡¯s reply, Xing Guangning¡¯s voice came from the room: ¡°No need to be rude, it¡¯s Mr. Yun, please come in.¡±
The two guards immediately stepped aside and pushed the door open, making a sign of invitation.
After entering the door, Yunjing found that Xing Guangning and his nephew Xiaofei were there, as well as two other strangers with late acquired traits. They were probably the first mate and second mate of the ship. They all looked ugly.
When Xing Guangning saw Yun Jing coming in, he immediately smiled and said, "How are you resting, Mr. Yun?"
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Xing. I'm fine. I took the liberty to come here and didn't disturb you. It seems I came at the wrong time?" Yunjing said with a cupped hand.
Xing Guangning waved his hand and said: "No, Mr. Yun, you came at the right time. Come on, please sit down first."
"Um, why did Brother Xing say this?" Yun Jing said in shock, "What do you mean I came at the right time?"
After Yun Jing sat down, Xing Guangning didn¡¯t mention the painting. He asked someone to close the door and said to Yun Jing in a low voice: "Mr. Yun, do you know that we caught a suspicious person on the boat yesterday?"
"I heard Miss Bai mention it before," Yun Jing nodded. He didn't understand why Xing Guangning asked this. Could it be that there was an accident?
Xing Guangning said in a deep voice: "In this case, I will keep the story short. Mr. Yun, to be honest, after we caught that man, he took poison and committed suicide before we could question him. This was unexpected by us, although we had extremely guessed it. We might be targeted, but we couldn't get any information from the other party, which made us very passive. We discussed it for a whole day but still didn't come up with a charter. We didn't know what to do for a while. You are a scholar, look. Things are more transparent than ours, so-called bystanders know better, so now I want to hear your opinion, Mr. Yun."
