"A bunch of keys?"
Monk frowned upon hearing this.
If it was said that Jian Ruocheng wanted to plot the identity of the captain of the ship, or his weapons, he would understand, but he came on board only for a small key.
The key, of course, is not the most important thing.
The important thing is that the key must correspond to a lock, so what the lock can open is the most important thing.
Monk said with a half-smile: "Is there anything so important that someone like you is worth doing such an act of chicken and dog robbery, and what's more, taking such a big risk?"
"..."
Jian Ruocheng didn't speak, but just looked at him indifferently: "You just have to say it, and it's fine if you agree or not."
Monk said, "You want me to help you?"
Jian Ruocheng said: "Since you are determined to obtain these weapons, it can be seen that weapons are also very important to you."
"..."
"Now, I don't compete with you at all, as long as you do me a small favor, you can get what you want smoothly, isn't it a very good deal?"
"..."
Monk raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending to be thinking.
But Jian Ruocheng was very quiet.
He knew that Monk had only one choice.
Sure enough, after a while, Monk said, "Okay, deal."
"..."
"So, what do you want me to do for you?"
Jian Ruocheng took a step forward and said a few words to him in a low voice. Monk heard this and raised his eyebrows slightly: "That's it?"
"It's that simple."
As she said that, Jian Ruocheng looked up at him, her eyes flickering: "Actually, I think, since you stayed up so late and wandered around on the boat, you probably wanted to do this."
"hehe."
Monk is not embarrassed to be seen through.
He just said, "Okay, I'll go now."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked to the other side of the corridor.
Jian Ruocheng stood in place, the moonlight streaming down from the skylight above his head filled him with the coolness of the moonlight, giving him an extraordinarily cool feeling, which also made his eyes look extraordinarily clear.
He kept watching Monk's back disappear into the darkness.
He turned around slowly, but facing the darkness behind him, he said in a deep voice: "After watching for so long, it's time to come out."
"..."
In the darkness, there was silence, but it seemed to be heavy, and a person's breathing sounded.
Jian Ruocheng said calmly, "I know you're here."
"..."
"Come out, it's just right, I have something to tell you."
"..."
After a while, a tall figure slowly came out from the darkness, like a human form condensed by the night, it was none other than Li Bushang who was silent and had wolf eyes shining brightly in the darkness.
He said in a deep voice, "You know I'm here?"
Jian Ruocheng nodded.
Li Bushang couldn't believe it: "You always knew I was here?"
"Not all the time."
"But when we got on the boat, we found out," he said.
"How did you find out?"
"Feel."
"Feel?"
Jian Ruocheng smiled faintly: "There is another person by her side, as someone who gets along with her every day, it's impossible for me not to feel it at all."
"..."
"Besides," he looked at Li Bushang, and said firmly, "Ever since you appeared at the altar, I knew that if she encountered any danger again, you would be as desperate as you were then."
Li Bushang remained silent, without denying it.
On the other hand, Jian Ruocheng looked him up and down, and then said, "You have grown up."
"..."
Hearing this sentence, Li Bushang frowned, as if he was very unhappy.
He doesn't like others to look at him like a child, no matter how you say "you have grown up", but as long as he says this, it means that they still treat themselves as a child.
"I'm not what I used to be," he said.
Jian Ruocheng said: "But I think, there is one thing, you should have not changed."
"..."
"You'll take good care of her, won't you?"
Li Bushang immediately said, "Of course."
"That's good."
"..."
"I can rest assured that."
Li Bushang hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "What exactly do you want?"
"..."
"Didn't you turn to King Ning to help him buy weapons? Why did you suddenly want a key again? What's in that box?"
Jian Ruocheng looked at him quietly for a while, and said, "Now, don't care about these things, as long as you protect her well."
After speaking, he was silent for a while, and said, "It's very quiet tonight, but there will definitely be storms."
"..."
"You have to protect her in the storm."
Li Bushang said: "You don't need to explain this."
"That's good."
Jian Ruocheng nodded, and then said: "Then, you go back, go and watch by her side, and remember to take her away at any time."
"..."
Li Bushang glanced at him.
Without saying anything, he turned around and left.
Jian Ruocheng looked at his back, and after a while, as if a big stone had been removed from her heart, she sighed, but there was still a hint of worry in her eyes: "I, I should rest assured to hand her over to you." Give it to him?"

On the other side, in the lobby after the banquet was withdrawn.
The smell of alcohol has dissipated.
However, the candle was lit again, and Munch walked slowly to the desk and sat down. After a while, he heard footsteps from the other side. When he looked up, the figure had appeared behind the screen again.
"They said, the monarch wants to see me?"
"Yes."
The owner behind the screen was obviously a little surprised, and said: "But, tonight's banquet has just ended, if you have something to say, why didn't the monarch say it just now, but now."
Monk smiled and said, "Because Your Excellency just said that business is not discussed at the banquet."
"..."
"Then, when it comes to business, I will naturally not be able to speak."
The human behind the screen said: "That is to say, the monarch is now going to continue discussing business with me?"
"good."
"But, Mr. Jian Ruocheng, you're not here."
Monk said with a smile: "This business was originally negotiated between two parties. One more party is just one more obstacle."
Hearing the words, the person behind the screen was quiet for a while, with a hint of subtlety in his tone: "Why, does the monarch think that I must sell this weapon to you?"
"certainly."
"Why so sure?"
"Because I can bring you absolute benefits."
"How do you know that they can't?"
"I know that Prince Ning, represented by Mr. Jian Ruocheng, must have put forward a condition that is difficult for you to refuse, but there is one thing, I want to remind you."
"Please say."
"King Ning is just King Ning; and Zhen is the emperor of Tan Kingdom."
Monk's tone became serious, and he said, "I can give you benefits other than money."
