Chapter 999: Gentleman - Chicken-stealing and Dog-stealing
The corridor in the cabin was winding, and it was already late at night, so the few lights that were on were turned off.
So, it was almost pitch dark.
The black shadow walked in the corridor, just sticking to the wall, almost blending into the surrounding darkness. Even if there was someone patrolling the corridor, it would be almost difficult to distinguish.
There is only one place.
This corridor leads to the residence of the owner of the ship, who is also the buyer of this transaction. There is a skylight in the middle of the corridor.
The moonlight poured down from the window like water, illuminating a small area on the ground.
Like ice.
Just as the shadow was about to approach, a low, laughing voice came from the other side of the light: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
“……!”
The sound that suddenly rang out in the dark night shocked people's hearts.
The shadow suddenly stopped.
A beam of light shone through the skylight, and I could barely see a figure standing in the darkness ahead.
The black shadow stopped, as if hesitating whether to retreat, but the figure opposite had already taken another step forward, almost reaching the moonlight, but still one or two steps short, so only the outline of the other person could be barely seen.
And heard the other person's laughing voice: "Why, you want to go back again after encountering a little difficulty?"
“…”
The shadow was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Do you know what to do?"
The other party chuckled and said, "Although I don't know what you are going to do, since we are all on this ship, I can't guess what else you can plot."
“…”
The man in black said nothing.
The other party chuckled again: "Why, not talking?"
“…”
"Do you think that if you don't say anything, this matter will just pass?"
“…”
"Do you think that if you don't speak, no one will know who you are, let alone what you want to do here tonight?"
The man in black's eyes sternly asked, "Do you know who I am?"
The other party smiled and said, "Of course I know, I just feel a little regretful."
"What's the regret?"
"I've heard that Jian Tongguang was a renowned Confucian scholar in your Great Yan Dynasty. He dedicated his life to teaching and educating people, leaving many students across the country. He was hailed as the conscience of the Great Yan Dynasty. Even when threatened by your emperor to execute his entire clan, he never backed down. Why would his son, clothed in black and masked, commit such petty theft?"
“……!”
The man in black was slightly shocked.
Now that things had come to this, there was certainly no need for him to hide it any longer. He let out a deep breath, reached out to remove the black scarf covering his face, took a step forward, and walked under the skylight.
The moonlight shines on such a handsome face.
It was Jian Ruocheng.
Although before, he was lying on the bed drunk and mumbling in his sleep, which made Nan Yan very worried; but now, his eyes are clear, his steps are light, and he doesn't look drunk at all.
"So, you were pretending to be drunk."
“…”
"You're really good at pretending."
The other person's eyes flickered.
Jian Ruocheng looked at the darkness ahead and said calmly, "Hasn't what you just said already exposed your identity?"
“…”
"Monk, the King of Neng."
Another chuckle was heard from the darkness on the other side. This time, he walked forward readily. Under the moonlight, Monk's handsome face was still smiling. The smile on the corner of his naturally raised mouth showed a bit of evil charm in the moonlight.
The two people faced each other, each with their own thoughts.
Monk said, "Although I knew you would have some means, I really didn't expect it would be you who would do it."
“…”
"You should be a gentleman."
“…”
Jian Ruocheng pursed his lips tightly.
At this time, he no longer wanted to argue with the other party about whether he was a gentleman, or he didn't want to care that Monk was satirizing his "chicken-stealing" behavior.
He said, "Then why is the king here?"
Munch raised his eyebrows, looked up at the moonlight pouring in through the skylight, and said, "You wouldn't believe me if I said I came here to admire the moon."
"and you--"
The smile on Monk's face slowly faded. In the dim light, that face that usually smiled revealed an inexplicably chilling feeling that made people shudder.
He said, "I have already said that I am determined to obtain this batch of ironware."
“…”
"Not only for me, but also for—"
He paused here, and when he looked at Jian Ruocheng again, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "In short, if anyone wants to do something behind my back, I will never allow it."
“…”
Jian Ruocheng looked into his eyes.
He was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "I understand what the king means, but I am determined to win tonight."
When Monk heard him say that, his eyes narrowed slightly.
In the moonlight, there was a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Although he had never seen him take action, and Jian Ruocheng had never heard whether the King of Neng was a martial arts master, at this moment, he still felt danger from the aura emanating from him.
Even a hint of almost sharp murderous intent.
Monk said, "If that's the case, then we don't need to talk about it anymore, right?"
Jian Ruocheng suddenly said, "That may not be the case."
"oh?"
"We can make a deal."
"Trade?" Hearing the word, Monk's eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of amusement. He sneered, "We're here to make a deal, and you want to make another deal with me. How are you going to make this deal?"
“…”
"No matter what, I must get those weapons."
“…”
"Could it be that you want to trade your weapons to me?"
"Why not?"
Jian Ruocheng asked back.
This also made Monk stunned.
He frowned slightly, then looked at Jian Ruocheng again, faintly sensing the extraordinary aura of this man. He took a deep breath and said, "Speak frankly, what exactly do you want?"
Jian Ruocheng said, "Since the king said that you are determined to obtain this batch of weapons, then I can give you this business."
"oh?"
This surprised Monk a little.
His eyes rolled, his mind working even faster, and he immediately said, "So, your purpose in coming to this ship this time isn't really to purchase these weapons?"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng remained silent.
But obviously, it has been accepted.
Monk was even more surprised and looked at him with a frown: "So, what do you want?"
