The spring is windy, and the same is true for the sea. Every spring, it is the time when the sea is windy and high, and it is also very dangerous to sail at sea. However, it is precisely because the sea road is difficult to walk, so the profits of smuggling are extremely rich at this time.

For example, when you are also going to North Korea, the price of goods in spring is much higher than in autumn.

On the Luqiao, Qi Yanming and other guards dragged their tired bodies back to the cabin. They fell on the bed one by one and could no longer get up. Soon the snoring sounded. They encountered a strong wind last night, although they were all

The guards do not have to participate in the operation of the ship, but the storm last night was too big, and the boatmen were too busy at all. Everyone was on the same boat. If the boat capsized, they had to finish playing together. This is what it means to work together.

.

So Qi Yanming and the others tried their best to help last night. Although they didn't know how to drive the boat, they were always useful. Helping to fix the rudder or drain the boat can also help a lot.

Fortunately, the strong wind only blew all night, and by dawn, the waves were calm and the fleet suffered no losses. However, after this night, everyone was exhausted, so except for the necessary personnel, everyone went back to make up for it.

A sleep.

I don’t know how long I slept this time. Qi Yanming and the others were awakened by the smell of food. When they opened their eyes, they saw a young man with white skin coming in and out, holding the food.

After a while, a small basin-like sea bowl was placed on the head of everyone's bed, with rice placed in it, and the rice was covered with vegetables and fat, and it was steaming, making people see it.

A big appetite.

"Brother Zhang, thank you for your hard work. You probably didn't sleep all night yesterday. Why did you get up so early?" Qi Yanming turned over and sat up. He smiled and said to the busy young man, this young man was the one they had rescued at sea before.

The young man named Zhang Rui. Because he had a pitiful life experience, the ship owner Lu Qiao temporarily kept him on the ship to work.

"Brother Wen is awake, hurry up and have dinner. You guys were busy all night last night and must have been hungry. Unfortunately, I don't have much strength and can't help at all!" Zhang Rui also said with a smile. It was that day.

Zhang Rui, who jumped into the sea to escape, had already been determined to die, but he did not expect that he would survive in the end.

Only Qi Yanming knew about Zhang Rui being a eunuch, but after he woke up, he immediately begged Qi Yanming to keep it secret for him, and also made up some lies, saying that he originally planned to eunuch himself and entered the palace, but unfortunately he had no way. So in the end, he was so

I had to stay outside. This time I originally wanted to go to a relative. But I didn't expect that I met pirates as soon as I got on the boat. All the people were killed. He jumped into the sea to survive, but fortunately he was rescued by Qi Yanming and the others.

.

If it were an ordinary person, he might have been deceived by Zhang Rui's lies, but Qi Yanming is not an ordinary person. He not only has done a horse but also has commanded the army to fight. If he can't even tell the truth or lies

Then he is not Qi Yanming. However, although Qi Yanming knew that Zhang Rui was telling a lie, he did not expose it on the spot, and even agreed to keep it a secret for him, because he wanted to see Zhang, who was probably the eunuch in the palace.

What exactly does Rui want to do?

Qi Yanming was also tired all night, and now he was naturally very hungry when he woke up, so he no longer talked to Zhang Rui. He immediately picked up the bowl of sea to swallow it. Speaking of which, their food on the boat was very average, and they even could only eat dry food.

There is not even a hot water. This is mainly because the space on the ship is limited and it is impossible to bring too much fuel, so there are few fires. Today I can eat hot drinks. I guess it was Luqiao who tried hard to protect the ship last night to reward everyone.

It's something that makes people.

Just as Qi Yanming was having a big meal, the others woke up from their sleep one after another. Seeing the food next to the pillow, they didn't care about anything else and ate one by one. After all, since they left Shuangyu Port, they were all there every day.

I ate dry food and drank cold water on the boat, and a bird has faded out of my mouth. Now I can eat a bite of hot rice, and it is so rich, it is a huge pleasure.

After dinner, Zhang Rui helped everyone take away the bowl. He was thin and could not compare to the guards and boatmen on the boat, so he could only do some chores. After all, no matter how kind-hearted the owner Lu Qiao was, he would still be.

A businessman will not keep an idle person on the boat, so if Zhang Rui wants to stay on the boat, he must work as much as possible.

After Qi Yanming watched Zhang Rui pack up the dishes and went out, he lay on the bed with his eyes closed and rested for a while. When he heard the brothers around him who had eaten lie down and snore, Qi Yanming suddenly opened his eyes.

Sit up with your eyes open, put on your shoes and come to the deck outside.

It's not yet noon. Although the wind and waves of last night have passed, the sky is still gloomy. I don't know if it will rain. The deck is also messy. It seems that the boatmen are resting and no one comes to clean up at all.

There were not even many people on the deck, and most of them were lying in bed to take a break.

Qi Yanming walked along the deck to the stern of the boat, which was the kitchen and the place to store food. When he came here, he saw Zhang Rui standing on the side of the boat with a rope, carrying a bucket with a rope towards him.

Pulling up, the bucket was filled with sea water, and there was a large wooden basin at his feet, which contained the dishes and chopsticks that everyone had just used. It seemed that he was about to clean it with sea water. After all, the fresh water on the boat was very precious, except for the supply of everyone.

In addition to eating, you also need to scrub the deck, so it is a little bit of saving.

Qi Yanming was very troubled when he saw Zhang Rui carrying the bucket. He quickly walked over and helped him. When Zhang Rui saw Qi Yanming, he was also very surprised and thanked: "Thank you, Brother Wen, it's still early now, Wen

Why don’t you sleep for a while?”

"Haha, I have always been sleeping less, and I have almost recovered after sleeping for a whole morning. In addition, I am bored on the side of the boat, so I went out for a walk. I didn't expect to see Brother Zhang still busy." Qi Yanming was now

He also said with a smile that he had been observing Zhang Rui these days and had some confidence in his heart, so today he planned to ask about Zhang Rui's true identity.

Zhang Rui didn't doubt Qi Yanming's words, and immediately joked with him for a few more words, then sat on the small stool next to the wooden basin and started washing dishes. What didn't surprise him was that Qi Yanming was seeing him do it.

He did not leave when he was alive, but squatted down to help him wash the dishes. This made Zhang Rui suddenly have a bad premonition, because with his understanding of Qi Yanming, the other party should not be a very enthusiastic person.

Just when Zhang Rui was confused, Qi Yanming suddenly said, "Eunuch Zhang, look at how you wash dishes, you probably haven't done these rough work. I just don't know what you do in the palace?"

Suddenly, he heard Qi Yanming call him "Eunuch Zhang" and asked directly what he was doing in the palace. This shocked Zhang Rui. Could it be that he already knew his identity?

However, although I was shocked, Zhang Rui still smiled and said, "Brother Wen, what do you mean? Didn't I say it before? Although I want to enter the palace, I have no way, so I can only go to the relatives

, I didn't expect to encounter a pirate..."

"Hehe, Brother Zhang doesn't have to act anymore!" Before Zhang Rui finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qi Yanming in a low voice, "As the saying goes, people don't say secret words, I'll read Brother Zhang's every word and action these days

In your eyes, you see that you have delicate skin, not like a person who does heavy work, and your words and deeds are gentle and polite. You can tell at a glance that you are a person who has read books. Most of those private eunuchs are poor people.

It is impossible to be like Brother Zhang, and the most important thing is that when we rescued you on the boat that day, the little clothes you were wearing were exquisitely made. If a private castrator could wear such clothes, it would be too

Strange!”

Qi Yanming could only confirm that Zhang Rui was a eunuch in the palace, but after a few days of observation, he found that Zhang Rui should have read books and his words and deeds were extremely gentle, which made him conclude that Zhang Rui's status in the palace should not be.

Low, after all, there are not many eunuchs who can read.

After hearing Qi Yanming analyze him, Zhang Rui's expression, which was a little panicked, suddenly became calm. He glanced at Qi Yanming indifferently, and then said, "Brother Wen is indeed a careful person, but Zhang

I think Brother Wen is not a simple person either. There are countless scars on your body, many of which are guns and wounds, and even many dot-shaped scars. If Zhang read it correctly, those should be arrow wounds.

.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Rui paused for a moment, and then said, "A person has so many swords, guns and arrows, there is only one explanation, that is, he has been on the battlefield, and there are only two types of people who have been on the battlefield in the Ming Dynasty.

One is the Ming Dynasty's official army, and the other is the rebellious thief. I think Brother Wen does not have the aura of the army, so you should not be the Ming Dynasty's official army, so there is only one possibility left.

!”

Qi Yanming was shocked when he heard Zhang Rui's words, and he stood up all of a sudden. His eyes flashed in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Rui, and he even had the intention of killing people to silence him. After all, if Zhang Rui had made him come from

If the news of the thief is leaked, then Lu Qiao will immediately catch him and send him to the government office. After all, he is just a businessman, so there is no need to shelter the thief.

However, Zhang Rui looked at Qi Yanming without fear, then slowly stood up, wiped his wet hands on him, and then smiled and said, "Brother Wen, don't panic, everyone is the world of the world.

People, Zhang had his own last resort to concealing his identity before, so I guess Brother Wen was the same, so everyone might as well pretend that he didn't know anything. When we arrived in North Korea, we broke up and we would never meet again.
