Chapter 365: Concealing Identity
Chen Tianci turned his head puzzled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Li Mengru smiled, lowered her voice and said: "We need to cover up our identities now, if you tell him too much of the truth, if the enemy knows about it, won't it be bad?" ”
Chen Tianci was stunned. He nodded, not telling Captain Edward about his true relationship with Li Mengru. Edward couldn't hear what Chen Tianci and the others were whispering, but just shook his head.
"Young man." He muttered to himself and began to eat. In order to hide his true identity, Chen Tianci had no choice but to say nothing more, and he also ate with his head bored.
When they had finished their meal, they took their leave. "Where are you going?" Edward asked suddenly.
"We're going to go to the Okinawa Trough area." Chen Tianci said skillfully.
Edward nodded. "Our route is pretty much the same way. If you want, we can do it together. Of course, I'll pay you. He said.
Chen Tianci was slightly stunned. Edward's meaning was clear. He wanted to hire Chen Tianci and the others as bodyguards. Chen Tianci thought about it and glanced sideways at Li Mengru.
Li Mengru's eyes rolled and nodded. "That's fine. Their ships are big, so we can save time on supplies. "And you also need to learn some Chinese, just in case." ”
Chen Tianci thought about it and felt that what Li Mengru said made sense. He looked at Edward. Captain Edward was looking at Chen Tianci with expectant eyes. Chen Tianci smiled slightly and said, "Then we'll bother." ”
"Well said, well said." Edward was overjoyed, "How about I pay you ten pieces of silver a day?" ”
Ten silver coins is already a lot of income. Ordinary people can only get a job in a deep-sea city for a few dozen silver coins a year. Chen Tianci was a little surprised.
"It's too much." Chen Tianci said.
Edward grinned. "No more, no less. You two are strong. With your protection, we can be safer. Ten silver coins isn't a lot of money. He said slowly, "I wanted to hire a few bodyguards. But they charge just too much. ”
Only then did Chen Tianci understand why Edward's large fishing boat did not have a convoy to accompany and protect it. The deal between them was struck. Captain Edward prepared the best room for Chen Tianci and the others.
Chen Tianci was a little embarrassed. The relationship between him and Li Mengru is not what Edward thinks. But the captain had apparently believed that the two of them were in that relationship.
Chen Tianci looked helplessly at the layout of the room. There was only a bed, two sofas, and a writing desk. Li Mengru didn't mind. She took off her coat, climbed into bed, spread her limbs, and muttered, "Well, there's a decent bed to sleep on." Every day I slept on the floor, I was almost killed. ”
Chen Tianci looked at the bed. If two people lie on it, they will inevitably be close together. He shook his head, got up and walked to the couch in the room.
"You go to bed. I sleep on the couch. As he spoke, he began to merge the two couches together.
"No, come, let's sleep together." Li Mengru seduced.
Chen Tianci rolled his eyes. "If you let Ye Feng know, he will chase and kill me a few streets. I'm not that kind of person. As he spoke, he poured the two sanders upside down and merged them together, barely making a bed on which he could lie down.
Li Mengru bent her eyebrows and laughed. "Well, here's for you." She threw Chen Tianci a pillow and quilt, got up and walked outside.
Chen Tianci took it and hurriedly asked, "Why are you going?" ”
"Go and ask for a quilt again, do you want to see me sleeping without clothes?" Li Mengru said as a matter of course.
Chen Tianci threw the quilt back. "Won't it be seen through if you go and ask for a quilt again? You cover it. I'm used to not covering it. If something happens, I'll be able to get up right away. He said.
Li Mengru was stunned, turned around and walked back. "That's fine." She nodded and walked back. Chen Tianci was lying on the sofa, and the feeling of exhaustion gradually came up.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He was half asleep and half awake, and I don't know how long it took, but suddenly he woke up. The lights in the room have gone out.
Chen Tianci did not enable the night vision function, but just lay quietly, his eyes looking at the dark room. For some reason, he suddenly remembered a very inconspicuous thing that Captain Edward had said earlier.
Edward said he had originally wanted to hire a few bodyguards. But the price quoted by the other party was too expensive, so he had to travel through this sea area without accompanying the protection fleet.
It wasn't meant to be a big deal. But Chen Tianci was keenly aware of some problems. When he encountered Edward's Blue Whale, the attacker of Edward's ship once warned Chen Tianci.
If it was really a pirate, why did they need to warn Chen Tianci in advance? Chen Tianci was piloting a combat flying boat at that time. Based on this, he judged that the other party might have mistaken him for a pirate or mercenary operating in the area.
Only this explanation can explain why the other party would warn Chen Tianci first. Chen Tianci couldn't help frowning when he thought of this. If that's the case, then I'm afraid that those who were repelled by him will still reappear.
When Chen Tianci thought of this, he suddenly fell asleep. He immediately turned back to his feet and activated his night vision mode. But at this glance, Chen Tianci's face suddenly turned red.
The quilt covered by Li Mengru slipped to the ground, and she had no inch on her. Her smooth and delicate skin was so obvious in front of Chen Tianci's eyes.
Chen Tianci hurriedly turned his head. He lightly wanted to leave the room, and after taking a few steps, Li Mengru's murmur came from his ears. "Sister, sister. I miss you so much. She murmured.
Chen Tianci's heart suddenly soured slightly. He stopped, sighed slightly, and slowly walked towards Li Mengru. He gently picked up the quilt on the ground and gently covered Li Mengru's body.
"Sister." Li Mengru muttered.
Chen Tianci squatted beside Li Mengru and looked at the woman's sleeping face. Her face was full of sadness, pain, and helplessness. Her brow furrowed slightly, sometimes shaking her head in pain, sometimes crying quietly.
Chen Tianci stretched out his hand and slowly patted Li Mengru's hand. "It's okay. It's all gone. It's all gone. He said softly.
Li Mengru's face gradually calmed down, and she fell asleep slowly.
