Chapter 120: Something Else

Qin Yuning was born in a reckless background, not as full of poetry and books as Bei Yingchen, and he was okay in war, but if he wanted to estimate and calculate the displacement of the ship, it would really be difficult for him.

Although he didn't know how men calculated, Qin Yuning believed in men's judgments, and after following him for several years, he never seemed to make a mistake.

"And where is this iron weapon hidden?" Scratching his head, Qin Yuning thought for a long time.

"Someone!" Keenly aware of the sound of footsteps not far away, Bei Mingchen said alertly.

Seeing two boatmen walking in their direction, the two dodged behind the stacked cargo.

"It's just some tea and silk, it's not worth anything in the country of the moonset, why are you so nervous, you have to keep watch all night!" I only heard a boatman complain in dissatisfaction, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but yawn a lot.

"Who knows? Hey, who made us people speak softly, and we can only do what we are told! The other reluctantly answered, "Anyway, this ship is about to dock, and when the cargo is unloaded, we can have a good rest!" ”

The two shipwrights grumbled as they roamed the cabin, from bow to stern, and they left through the back door of the cabin and went straight to the next cabin.

Waiting for the two to leave, Bei Mingchen and Qin Yuning walked out from behind the cargo, in order to avoid alarming the people on the ship, from the moment they got on the boat, the master and servant have been walking lightly and carefully, which made them ignore a problem.

Just when the boatman had just walked by, Bei Mingchen suddenly understood.

The boatmen did not understand martial arts, so their steps were relatively heavy, and judging from the footsteps they stepped on the deck, Bei Yingchen could tell that the bottom of this deck should be empty.

In order not to alarm the people on board, Bei Mingchen stomped on the deck with a little strength, and when he heard the obviously empty voice, the master and servant glanced at each other, and then began to look for a way down.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you, but what have you discovered?" Seeing that the man suddenly stopped, Qin Yuning asked in a low voice.

"There's something wrong with this board!" Feeling the loosening of the pedals under his feet, Bei Yingchen frowned.

Hearing the man say this, Qin Yuning immediately walked over, squatted down, and he directly reached out and uncovered the wooden board that the man said.

A ray of light came from the bottom up, and below this deck, there was really a dark layer, turning over and jumping, Bei Yingchen jumped down directly, and Qin Yuning also followed.

The height of the dark layer was just enough for an adult to stand up straight, and among the scattered lamps on the four walls, the candles were "crackling" and burning.

The ground was full of locked wooden boxes, and with the sword at his waist drawn, Bei Mingchen casually split open a box beside him, the silver light flashed, and the iron tools inside were undoubtedly revealed.

"Sure enough, as the prince expected, Gu Shichong really wanted to smuggle back the ironware of the Moonfall Country in the name of shipping goods through trade!" Staring at the contents of the box, Qin Yuning frowned slightly.

After a while, he added to the man and asked, "What are the prince's plans for these iron tools that Gu Shichong collected?" ”

The ironware of the moon setting has always been known for its sturdiness, and after processing and building, the forged weapons are extremely sharp, and the Gu family is already powerful, and the superior weapons are undoubtedly the icing on the cake for them.

Gu Shichong's disobedience has been revealed, but with so many iron weapons, if he wants to steal them all, I am afraid that it is impossible at all, Qin Yuning can't help but worry in his heart.

"What if you go to great lengths to bring things back, if you don't have a place for them, it's pointless!" His gaze condensed, and Bei Shenchen's eyes flashed with bottomless depth.

"Let's go! The ship is coming to shore! With that, he left the cabin.

Although the man did not make his plan clear, but looking at his appearance, there should be some countermeasures, and without asking again, Qin Yuning closed the box he had just opened again, turned around and followed quickly behind the man.

Jumping back into the river one after another, the master and servant swam along the current to the riverbank, and when they got ashore, several boats that had been traveling in the river also docked one after another.

Hiding in the shadows, the two secretly observed the shipwrights unloading back and forth, only to see that they first unloaded all the sacks on the ship, and then began to lift the boxes out.

"Lord Wang, they should mix the iron tools in the silk box and carry them out together, right? It's just that this box looks the same on the surface, so how can we tell the difference? ”

Qin Yuning knew that the purpose of the man's trip was to track down the storage place of the iron tools, and through the investigation just now, they already knew that the tea leaves transported were all packed in sacks, but the silk and private iron tools were all used in boxes, so he couldn't help but wonder.

"Although these boxes look the same, if you look closely, you can see that the boxes that carry silk and iron are actually very different in their textures!"

"There are a lot of people on the docks, and only some of these boatmen are from the family, and after unloading the goods, it is impossible for them to separate the iron and silk in full view, so they need a sign to distinguish them, so that when only their own people are left, they can transport and store them in batches!"

Staring closely at the boatmen and the boxes they were carrying, Bei Mingchen frowned and analyzed.

While listening to the man's words, Qin Yuning observed carefully, and it was really as the man said, the texture of some of the box openings was vertical, but some of them were horizontal, although the distance was a little far, but under the reflection of the bright moonlight, it could be seen clearly.

"The boxes containing iron tools were heavy, but the boatmen who could carry iron tools were much lighter than the other boatmen, and it seems that these people have some skills!" Seeing the way, Qin Yuning took over.

"If it is an ordinary boatman, it will inevitably take some effort to carry the ironware, and it will inevitably leak flaws in the shipwright who carries silk!" Xiu's eyebrows rose slightly, and Bei Mingchen chuckled.

"Besides, this batch of goods is very important to Gu Shichong, bring some capable people, in case anything happens, it is easy to deal with!"

Knowing that Gu Shichong had always acted carefully, Bei Mingchen's eyes showed a little disdain, anyway, he didn't plan to do it, he came here today just to find out the truth.

After all the goods on the ship were unloaded, Gu Yufei took his own people and loaded the goods into the carriage docked at the dock in batches.

Although there was no problem on the surface, Bei Mingchen noticed that they had packed the boxes containing silk and iron tools on different carriages.

"Who?" Suddenly sensing that there seemed to be a noise around him, Gu Yufei spoke vigilantly, and at the same time swept his deep dark eyes around.
