Chapter 1001: A Key

A bright moon hangs in the dark sky.

The same scenery is reflected on the calm sea, and it seems that there is the same high sky under the water, and the same silent bright moon.

A ship, along the coast, set off ripples and sailed towards the depths of the sea.

A tall figure, standing in the bow of the ship.

His figure was as tall as a pine, and even the greatest storm could not make him bend down; His eyes were resolute, like a rock that had endured for thousands of years, and even the wind and rain could not make him succumb.

Facing the vast sea in front of him, there was also a trace of confusion in his expression.

I don't seem to know why I'm here.

At this time, an old man walked out of the cabin, who seemed to be the owner of the ship, he was very plainly dressed, and his expression seemed very calm, only the wrinkles on his face showed the wind and waves he had experienced in his life.

He said, "This nobleman. ”

The man at the bow of the boat did not look back, but just stood motionless with his hands behind his back.

The boatman said, "This nobleman, are you really going to sea tonight?" ”

The man at the bow of the ship still did not look back, but said in a deep voice: "I β€”β€”, made it very clear when I paid you. ”

The boatman said, "Yes, it's justβ€”"

"But nothing."

"However, there are really big winds and waves at sea tonight."

"Oh?"

"The old man sees that the nobleman is extraordinary, and he is not an ordinary person, why do he insist on going to sea on such a stormy night?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"We people are all here to make money, and we can drop our lives on our belts, but aren't the lives of nobles more valuable than our lives, and if something happens, it's a pity?"

The man at the bow of the ship was silent for a moment and said, "Human lives are worth everything. ”

"Then why do you insist on going to sea?"

"Why ......"

He fell silent, his eyes looking into the distance, the deeper sea, as if he could not see his watch, let alone what was at the end of his sight.

He muttered, "yes, why ......? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Why do I want to go to sea?"

Leaving the royal car, without anyone noticing, he went on the road alone, not on the official road, but on a shortcut path, and soon reached the canal; After renting a ship and going south, he did not directly enter Changqing City.

Instead, he changed ships and wanted to go to sea.

Even though all the shipwrights told him that although the weather seemed clear today, there would be a great storm at sea, and no one would dare to go to sea easily, and advised him not to joke with his life, he still insisted.

In the end, there will be brave men under the reward.

The old boatman, because of the illness of his youngest son in the family, continued to pay a large sum of money for treatment, and 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 was gradually lost in sight.

This feeling is actually very bad.

People need a sense of security, just like a person who wants to have a warm family even if he is strong and strong, so that no matter how he overcomes obstacles outside, or even fights in all directions, in the end, there is a safe place for him to rest and lick his wounds.

And the most basic sense of security comes from the ground under our feet.

As long as there is a place for yourself to stand, then the most basic sense of security is still in your heart, but when you go to sea, it is different.

This ship, it looks sturdy, but who knows, will capsize in the wind and waves?

Although he has accepted or remembered the identity of the emperor since he woke up, everything he did was "what the emperor should do", for example, no matter how high his martial arts are, he also has a group of guards around him who can beat him down with a wave of his hand to "protect" himself.

After all, you are in all directions.

But this time, what he did was something that no normal emperor would dare to do, and he should never do.

Alone on the road, even rented a boat, and under the persuasion of everyone, still went out to sea on the night when the wind and waves were coming.

That's because there is always an inexplicable feeling in my heart that guides me.

Like, he had something important to throw outside.

At sea.

So, he had to go back and find it.

"Noble? Elegant? ”

The old boatman next to him was still calling him carefully, Zhu Feng slowly turned his head, under the moonlight, his eyes looked a little confused, but in the confusion, there was an indescribable perseverance.

He said, "You don't have to worry about that much. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"The money has already been given to your family."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"What you have to do now is to drive the boat well and let me see what is on this sea."

Hearing his words, I knew that he was iron-hearted and must persevere.

The old boatman smiled and nodded: "Okay, anyway, the old man once made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva, as long as the old man's son can survive, the old man is willing to exchange this life for it." Now, the money given by the noble man is enough to cure my son's illness, so what if this life is handed over to the nobleman? ”

With that, he walked to the rudder.

The sea is getting calmer.

And in this calm, there seems to be something secretly surging, ready to pour out at any time.

On the other side of the ship, a ray of moonlight shines through the skylight on the silent promenade.

Jian Ruocheng was silent in the moonlight.

Munch looked at him for a moment, then said, "You don't want to say? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"If you don't want to say it, what's the deal?"

Jian Ruocheng's eyebrows frowned slightly, still silent, as if he was still hesitating to tell him.

Looking at Jian Ruocheng's hesitant expression, Meng Ke chuckled again, and then said: "You must know that I am also the emperor of the country, although you are not a courtier of the country, but you should know very well that as an emperor, you can't tolerate the people in front of you to hide something." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"You know very well the purpose of my coming here, but if you still hide it from me, then there will be no deal between us, let alone any cooperation."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"I have no choice but to tell the master about your actions."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Jian Ruocheng's brows suddenly twisted.

He looked up at Munch, and his gaze became deeper, and even the moonlight above his head could not shine into his eyes.

Munch smiled and said, "I think, Nanyan must not know, you still have this side." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"To be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such a humble gentleman like you would have such a side."

"Alright."

Jian Ruocheng's voice was low, as if it was not coming out of his mouth, but condensed from the darkness.

"I can tell you."

Munch looked at him with interest.

Jian Ruocheng said: "I, I want something from that person." ”

"What's that?"

"A key."
