Volume 2 Chapter 10 Confidential Ledgers(2/2)
When the two of them saw that she was really happy with Mr. Li, they felt bad. Now they were going to send them away again, and their self-esteem was greatly hurt, so they followed Yunzhi angrily.
After Yun Zhi received Yun Yuzhen's order, he took them to the upper corridor, came to a door and knocked on the door:
"Mr. Chen! The two young men are here."
An old voice came out and said, "Come in!"
Yunzhi pushed the door open and taught them to go in by themselves.
When the two walked into the room, they realized that the room was surprisingly large, filled with various locks, house models, and some tools that were of unknown purpose. The walls were covered with many architectural patterns, which were actually a large workshop on the boat.
A hunched old man with long beards was raising a lock at the window and looking at them for a long time. He didn't look at them at the end of his eyes and said hoarsely: "Close the door!"
Xu Ziling closed the door.
The old man put down his lock and walked towards them. Since he was half a head shorter than the two, he had to raise his face so that he could see clearly what they looked like, and said dryly: "I heard that you have been secretly snatching them at a young age, ha! Let your hand out first and let me see."
The old man reached out and grabbed their four hands left and right, and after a while he showed surprise, "I have never seen a better hand than you. There were two pairs of them all at once, haha! I, Old Chen, have a successor."
He walked away with his hands behind his back, and stopped before he reached the cabin window. He stared at the window and said, "If you want to steal things, in addition to a pair of smart hands, you also need to have the urge to adapt to changes, excellent construction institutions and other school rooms."
He walked back and summoned the two of them to a building model and said, "This building consists of ten courtyards of different sizes. If I want you to steal a piece of jade, how can you find the jade?"
Seeing that the two of them were speechless, they proudly came to another model and said, "Do you recognize it?"
Kou Zhong said in a lost voice: "Isn't this the mansion of the Yangzhou General Manager?"
Chen Laomou said: "It's Yuchi Sheng's doghouse. In fact, it's not too difficult to steal things. If I want you to steal a confidential file, and after reading it, you have to keep everything recorded in your mind, and then put the file back in its original place, which makes people unaware that it has been seen. In addition to having high-quality skills, you also need a good memory. Oh! Do you know how to read it?"
Kou Zhong was already suspicious of Yun Yuzhen, and of course he would not tell the truth. He said ashamedly: "Where do we have the chance to go to school?"
Chen Laomou said sympathetically: "It's no wonder you. Fortunately, you don't need to read this task at all."
He led the two of them to a picture on the left wall and said, "This is the "Piaoxiang No." you have visited. The blackened place is a place we have not yet known."
The picture shows a three-dimensional perspective view of the "Piaoxianghao", but the main cabin under the deck is blackened.
Chen Laomou explained endlessly, and the two found it interesting, listened patiently, and asked questions from time to time. It was not until dawn that Yunzhi came to take them to the room near the bow of the carriage to rest. The two fell asleep and woke them up until dusk.
Two pretty maids came to serve them in a bath and change clothes, shaved their beards and combed their hair. When they went to Yunzhi to lead them to the cabin, they saw her beautiful eyes lit up and said in surprise: "It turns out that the two young men are so handsome, they are really disrespectful."
Seeing her pretty and lovely, Kou Zhong leaned over and said, "How old is my sister this year? It seems like she is similar to us, right?"
Yunzhi said angrily: "It's always older than you. Come on!"
Leading the way.
The two of them knew that she looked down on her, so they exchanged a deflated expression and look and chased after her.
When I arrived at the cabin, there were only three seats. A man with brocade robe had already sat in it. He looked ugly and had a scar about two inches long on his left cheek, giving him a ferocious feeling, but his eyes were shining with spirit. At a glance, he knew that he was a master with superb internal skills.
The man was very polite and stood up to welcome them and said, "I am the deputy leader of the Jukun Gang, Bu Tianzhi, and the leader of the Yun Gang, have something to do and ask Bu to take the responsibility of greeting the two little brothers."
The two of them couldn't see the beauty master, and they thought that she must have followed Mr. Li. They were very disappointed, but they could not resist the temptation of food. After a few words, they sat down and ate and drank, and put all the unsatisfactory things behind their minds.
Bu Tianzhi asked about their past events without a word. Kou Zhong made up casually, making him feel very satisfied.
Before the scattered table, Bu Tianzhi summoned people to take a brocade box, opened the lid, and placed an exquisite booklet inside. The cover was printed with the Dongming School logo, which was the same as the flag embroidered on the "Piaoxianghao".
The two looked at Bu Tianzhi in surprise.
Bu Tianzhi didn't say anything. When he opened the first page, he saw that it was covered with words written in ink and cinnabar. On one side was the types and numbers of weapons written in black ink, and on the other side was the number of silver codes in vermilion. The largest amount was 3,000 taels of gold, which was enough for ordinary people to eat for more than ten years. In addition, there were dates and settlement locations.
The most shocking thing is that the six words "The First Li Family in Longxi" were written on the top of the page, but I couldn't see anything like a fancy seal.
Kou Zhong pretended to be foolish: "It recognizes me, but I can't recognize them. What is it written on it?"
Bu Tianzhi turned to the second page, but it was blank.
Bu Tianzhi revealed the first page and said, "We asked the two little brothers to steal it. This is the account book. When you open the first page, you must be careful and remember it. Don't make any mistakes at that time."
Xu Ziling tentatively pointed at the first word "one" in Li family and said: "I recognize this word "one", but I don't recognize anything else. What exactly did I write?"
Bu Tianzhi said: "Don't pay attention to anything you write. The word "" just refers to the first page. I will read it for you again when you leave the boat."
The two of them were even more suspicious, but then they wanted to learn his great stealing skills from Chen Laomou, and they had no time to think about it. When they had time, they would practice secretly in the room.
Five days later, they passed by the mouth of the Yangtze River and stopped for four days, but they were not allowed to go ashore. Then they set off north and went north for dinner. They realized that Yun Yuzhen had returned, and Bu Tianzhi disappeared.
Yun Yu was so energetic that she looked as if she was shining. However, Kou Xu and the others knew that she was not obsessed with her and no longer had the initial beauty of her. Because she was definitely not another Fu Junmao or Su Su.
Kou Zhong asked, "Where are we going now?"
Yun Yuzhen said: "We are going north to Huai River and then west to Zhongyang. We will arrange your actions at that time."
After looking at them for a while, he smiled and said, "In two years, you must be a man of high school. Now you have shaved your beard and have your hair done well. You are much more arrogant than before. How old are you this year?"
Kou Zhong said: "I just passed eighteen and he is one year younger than me."
Yun Yuzhen said happily: "I heard from Mr. Chen that you both can learn all the skills and have not disappointed my expectations for you."
Xu Ziling said: "If we really steal the account book, how can we leave that big ship?"
Yun Yuzhen said: "Don't worry about this. I will teach you how to use the lights to contact us. At that time, I will come to the boat to pick you up and ensure that it is very safe."
Kou Zhongdao: "Why did the Dongming sect stay for so long when he came to Zhongyuan?"
Yun Yuzhen said: "Every three years, they go to Zhongyuan for a period of time to accept new orders and collections. As for weapons, there are other ships responsible for transporting them, so you don't have to pay attention to these."
Xu Ziling said: "Is there any new changes in the situation outside?"
Yun Yuzhen said lightly: "Du Fuwei still defended Liyang and repelled the Sui army several times. Dou Jiande had called himself the King of Changle four months ago, and his power was especially above Du Fuwei. Recently, several people have emerged, one is Xu Yuanlang and the other is Lu Mingyue. Both of them are important figures in the martial arts world. But in terms of coaxing, they cannot match the Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou of the Yingyang Sect and launched an army to fight against Sui. They were both Sui generals, so their facts greatly weakened the power of the Sui chamber."
Xuan sighed again and said, "These two people have a close relationship with the Turks. Master Liang has recently become his disciples under the Turkish "War Master" Bi Xuan's Sect. With the Turks intervening, I don't know how to deal with the endgame."
The two remembered Liang Shidu's son Liang Shunming and Chen Tianqun's beautiful daughter Shen Wushuang, and they were so crazy about it.
Xu Ziling cared about Su Su and asked about her master Zhai Rang.
Yun Yu was really familiar with the situation and said calmly: "Zhai Rang and Li Mi are concentrating their troops and preparing to attack Xingluo Cang. If they succeed, the Sui Dynasty will be in danger. In the rebel army, if they are judged by virtue and hope, they think that the leader Zhai Rang has the most power, but his momentum is entirely due to Li Mi, and sooner or later there will be problems."
Then he said, "You seem to have some understanding of this aspect, too?"
Kou Zhongdao: "It's all told us by Du Fuwei."
Both of them were worried about Su Su, so they hurriedly finished eating and went to learn from Chen Laomou again. By the time they returned to the room, it was already three o'clock.
The two of them pretended to be on the bed and went to bed, hiding in the tent to discuss.
Kou Zhongdao: "Our beauty master is beautiful, but his mind is not very good. It is clearly because we are using us to steal things to harm others."
Xu Ziling said: "It should be someone who threatens the Li family like a threat to us that we will not be his accomplices. Why don't we just slip away?"
Kou Zhong sighed, "Do you think I don't want to leave? The problem is that if Master Beauty really makes up his mind and announces our whereabouts, and even comes with a portrait of our respected appearance, then we will be unable to move forward, so we must think of a proper escape plan."
Xu Ziling said: "I really want to see Mrs. Dongming, so I will tell you everything and ask her to take us to Ryukyu, but if you do this, you will not avenge your mother."
Kou Zhong interjected: "I can't see Brother Li and Sister Su Su either."
After the two of them were silent for a while, Kou Zhong said: "Have you noticed that the situation on the ship was a little strange these days?"
Xu Ziling nodded and said, "Since Master Meiren returned, the ship suddenly became nervous, and the waterway changed from time to time. It seemed that he was guarding against enemies in some aspects."
Kou Zhong patted his legs and said, "There is! These people may be coming for us. For example, the Haisha Gang or our father Du Fuwei, can you set up spies at others, and can't they deal with you with the same method?"
Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of bird's method is to get it for my father and Han Pudi, I would rather stay here."
At least it was a polite hospitality."
Kou Zhong said confidently: "The mountain man has his own tricks, so we will use a move to "get out of death", as if he was killed, but in fact he escaped."
Xu Ziling said dejectedly: "It's easy to say, but what can I do?"
Kou Zhong said: "If we were elsewhere, or if our skills were as cowardly as before, we would naturally not be able to do it. But now, as long as we make a trick, fall into the sea, and then rush out of the sea, we would snort off at that time, everyone thought we were buried in the sea. Wouldn't we be able to return to our freedom?"
Xu Ziling said: "Where is blood?"
Kou Zhong made a stealing gesture and said with a smile: "We eat large pieces of chicken every day, but do you know that there are many chickens in the kitchen. Do you understand?"
Xu Ziling said distressedly: "The problem is that we don't know when the enemy will come. If blood is taken too early, it will condense into a hard lump. If hard chicken blood emerges when falling into the sea, wouldn't it be a laughing way for others to shake their teeth?"
Kou Zhong said: "We can make the chicken faint. This is our chicken stealer's special trick. After stealing it back, stuff it under the bed. If the enemy has not arrived yet, then change to another two chickens. This method is necessary."
