Chapter 267

When asked if the news was reliable, Bai Zhi shook her head in embarrassment and said, "I don't know about that either..."

Yunjing paused while eating, and was a little speechless. You didn't even know if the news was reliable, so you told me that this ship was being targeted?If it weren't for my good mentality, if something frightens me, come and accompany me?
Then Yun Jing asked: "Why did Miss Bai say that?"

"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 eyeliner sent by Jiang Bandits to plant on the boat. After he was caught, he was conducting a secret interrogation. I don't know exactly what happened and what the result was, but only Boss Xing and the others know," Bai Zhi hurriedly explained.

Nodding his head, Yun Jing said, "Well, it's about the safety of the whole ship. I'll ask later to see if I can understand the situation, so I can prepare for it."

"Mr. Yun, don't worry. Boss Xing and the others often run on this river. There are one or two hundred guards on board. Boss Xing himself is also innately cultivated. If some unscrupulous Jiang bandits dare to offend, there is nothing to worry about," Bai Zhi comforted.

I'm not worried...

Thinking to himself, Yun Jing said: "It's better to be careful, since someone dares to attack this boat, they must have come prepared, in case a big fish comes."

Big fish?

Mr. Yun, did you use the wrong word in this metaphor?Perhaps Mr. Yun was a little sleepy.

Bai Zhi glanced at Yunjing in astonishment, then smiled and said, "Young Master Yun is right, it's always better to be careful." After speaking, she stopped looking at Yunjing and continued casually: "If you are really in danger, , Swords have no eyes, Mr. Yun must remember not to be impulsive, stay as close to me as possible, I think I have some skills, and I will try my best to protect you."

She seemed to say these words casually, but she actually thought about it seriously. Men love face, so she tried her best to maintain Yun Jing's self-esteem, and didn't say bluntly that I will protect you when the time comes.

"Thank you, Miss Bai, please rest assured that I am not a reckless person. If there is such a danger, I must put my own safety first," Yun Jing said with a smile, how could he not feel the other party's subtle concern.

However, Yun Jing was a little surprised, she was fine before, why did Bai Zhi care so much about herself after she slept?It was the first time to bring me food, and I would protect myself when I was in danger. The two met by chance and only knew each other for a few days. Although they can be regarded as friends, this is 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 doesn't have the ability to read minds. Hearing Yun Jing's answer, she smiled and said, "It's good that Mr. Yun understands. Safety always comes first when you go out. Don't be impulsive. Accidents will only make loved ones hurt their enemies faster, even bowing their heads and begging for mercy when necessary is not a shameful thing, alive is more important than anything else."

Yun Jing could listen to what she said, which reassured Bai Zhi a lot. She was well-intentioned, and what she said was good words. She was afraid that when Yun Jing was in danger, the stubborn temper of a scholar would rush forward. People have a headache.

As far as Bai Zhi knows, scholars often regard integrity as more important than their lives. They are obviously terrified to death when they encounter danger, but they have to bite the bullet and rush forward for the sake of face. It is a kind of generosity and justice that our generation of scholars can lose their lives. Most of the lost posture is that they lost their lives in vain. From the perspective of these people in the world, it is meaningless at all. Everyone is dead, so what's the use of retaining a little reputation?Who will remember you after time has passed?

"Miss Bai's words are reasonable, life is more important than anything else," Yun Jing nodded seriously.

This Mr. Yun is a little different from other scholars. If other scholars heard that life is more important than anything else, they would definitely sneer at it and argue with reason. They would present facts and reason and give countless examples to prove that life is not the whole meaning of life.

He is good-looking, talented, and understands the ways of the world. Such a man is hard to find in the world. It is a pity that he has a marriage contract.

Why didn't you meet sooner..., uh, it's useless earlier, I heard that he was engaged when he was two years old...

After thinking a lot in her mind, Bai Zhi felt that she should not think about these annoying things for the time being, then she glanced at the painting of Yunjing on the table not far away and changed the subject: "To be honest, Boss Xing and the others can catch that The suspicious person has been reminded by Mr. Yun."

"My reminder? What did I remind you?" Yun Jing asked blankly.

Smiling, Bai Zhi said: "Mr. Yun painted a person communicating with an eagle hovering in the sky in that painting. Boss Xing became suspicious after seeing it, and only then did he act to catch the suspicious person. Isn't it just Mr. Yun's reminder, I hope the situation will not develop in a bad direction."

"Uh, is there such a thing? I just drew what I saw, and didn't think about it too much," Yun Jing said in surprise.

Hearing this, Bai Zhi immediately covered her mouth and smiled, the flowers trembled and her chest was turbulent, and there was still something interesting 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 own painting at all, he was just a painter.

Instinctively 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 waved her hands shyly when she noticed Yun Jing's gaze.

Yunjing: "..."

How happy are you?You're here to play tricks on me.

Speaking of girls who practice martial arts, will it be a burden when it is too big?I have a chance to find someone to ask, as for who to ask, I will talk about it when I have a chance...

The two were talking, and soon after Yunjing ate up the food Bai Zhi brought, it was cleaner than a dog's lick.

I don't know if she is in the mentality of 'as long as my brother looks good, the three views follow the five senses'. Seeing that Yunjing is eating nothing left, Bai Zhi immediately feels that Yunjing must be a good man who saves and takes care of his family.

Change it to an ugly one, and I guess it will get a bad evaluation.

She took the initiative to help clean up the dishes and said, "By the way, Mr. Yun, what are you going to do with that painting?"

"You're talking about painting. I've already made an agreement with Brother Xing. After the painting is finished, I will sell it to him first," Yun Jing said with a smile.

But Bai Zhi said: "Boss Xing said that Mr. Yun, 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 finished the drawing, but you didn’t want it, so why did I go to all that trouble?
"He really said that?" Yun Jing thought for a while and asked.

His original intention was to draw the pictures of the trackers’ hardships, so that more people can see them, and let people understand the difficulties at the bottom. There don’t need to be many people who feel compassion, even if there are a few by chance, they can help in a disguised form. The purpose of the bottom people.

In the end, Xing Guangning didn't want it. If it hit him, how many people would he know?

Bai Zhi nodded and said, "He really said that."

"I'll ask him again. After all, it's all agreed. To be a man, you must be honest. If he really doesn't want it, I'll find a way to deal with it. By the way, I will ask about the follow-up of the suspicious person. Maybe it's a false alarm because of a misunderstanding."

Yun Jing thought for a while and said, then walked towards the painting.

There was nothing interesting about the painting he drew. He casually glanced at it, then 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, but Yunjing can’t afford it. Although he was tired of painting and took a nap here, Xing Guangning didn’t say anything, but he’s not greedy for petty gains. It's embarrassing, but it's better to be sensible.

After going out, the two separated, Bai Zhi had to return the bowls and chopsticks, and did not go with Yun Jing.

The food I ate before should have been paid for by Bai Zhi, and he was not a rich man, so Yun Jing decided to find an opportunity to repay the favor, so there is no need to explain such things clearly, so as not to make people feel cold.

When he came outside the captain's room, Yun Jing saw two guards with knives guarding the door with serious expressions, so he cupped his hands and said, "Both brothers, is the captain there?"

"I don't know what this son wants from our boss?" One of the guards looked at Yun Jing and asked.

Before Yun Jing could answer, Xing Guangning's voice came from the room and said, "Don't be rude, it's Mr. Yun, please come in."

The two guards immediately stepped aside and opened the door, making a gesture of invitation.

After entering the door, Yun Jing found that Xing Guangning and his nephew Xiao Fei were there, and there were two other strangers with late post-acquired status, presumably they were the first mate and second mate of the ship, all of them had ugly faces.

Seeing Yun Jing coming in, Xing Guangning smiled and said, "Mr. Yun, are you resting well?"

"Thank you, Brother Xing, for your concern. I'm okay. I took the liberty to come here, so I didn't disturb you. I don't seem to be here at the right time?" Yun Jing clasped his hands.

Xing Guangning waved his hand and said: "No, Mr. Yun, you came at the right time. Come, please sit down first."

"Um, why did Brother Xing say that?" Yun Jing asked in amazement, what do you mean I came at the right time?
After Yunjing sat down, Xing Guangning didn't mention the painting. He asked someone to close the door, and said to Yunjing in a low voice, "Young Master Yun, do you know that we caught a suspicious person on the boat yesterday?"

"I heard Miss Bai mention it before." Yun Jing nodded and said, not understanding 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 make a long story short, Mr. Yun, to be honest, after we caught that man, he took poison and committed suicide before we could interrogate him. It is possible to be targeted, but we failed to get any information from the other party, which made us very passive. Several of us discussed it for a day and did not discuss a charter. We didn't know what to do for a while. You are a scholar, look Things are more transparent than ours, the so-called onlookers are clear, so now I want to hear your opinion, Mr. Yun."
