A round of rising sun slowly rose from the sea level in the east, and ten thousand golden rays of light pierced through the deep darkness before dawn, and the red light that was about to erupt gradually blurred the clouds above Linzi.

Lu Yunzhou let out a sigh of relief, put down the carbon bar in his hand, rubbed his sore wrist, looked at the large pile of portraits in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Fortunately, I haven't returned all the basic skills I learned in sketching class in my previous life to the teacher!"

Painting on the cloth is really a test of perseverance, and at this moment Lu Yunzhou only regrets that he didn't ask his uncle to help make the paper earlier!

It was already dark, and there was a panicked exclamation from the bedroom, obviously discovering that Lu Yunzhou was "missing"!

Lu Yunzhou hurriedly walked out of the study and said loudly: "Hug Yue, I'm here!"

Soon, Baoyue hurriedly ran in front of Lu Yunzhou, with a little red face fluttering, looking at Lu Yunzhou a little nervously.

"Young Master, why did you get up so early today? Hey, didn't the young master sleep last night?"

Lu Yunzhou reached out and pinched Baoyue's cute little face with some amusement, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine, Baoyue, you go and help me find Brother Lan, I have something important to find him!"

"Yes, young master, I'll go right away!"

Lu Yunzhou looked at the back of Baoyue hurriedly leaving, stretched his waist, returned to the study, carefully checked the portraits of all the assassins, compared them with his memory, and after making sure that it was correct, a smile appeared on his face.

At this time, Lan Shiqi also arrived, and said respectfully outside the door: "Childe, what are you looking for me?"

Lan Shiqi just got up, knowing that Lu Yunzhou was looking for him, and before he had time to tidy up more, he hurried over, looking a little disgraced at the moment.

When Lu Yunzhou heard the voice, he hurriedly raised his head happily, saw Lan Shiqi's puzzled look, and said with a smile: "Brother Lan, there is one thing, I want to ask you to help me!"

Lan Shiqi said in a panic: "Gongzi's words are serious, you saved my life, and also took in my father and daughter in Qi Mansion, and treated Yuanyuan as a sister...... Childe's great kindness to me, I can't repay it for being a cow and a horse in my life, what does Childe command, I Lanshiqi is going to the soup and fire, and it is also the right thing to do, and I definitely can't afford to be a 'help' word for Childe!"

Lu Yunzhou was stunned for a while, to be honest, although Lu Yunzhou crossed over to Qi Yu in this life and became the son of a big family, his soul came from the modern society that advocates equality for all, and it is difficult for Lu Yunzhou to recognize a class society like the Warring States Period. In addition to the small sense of superiority in the face of the natives as a traverser, Lu Yunzhou never felt that he was superior to anyone, and he did not feel that he had done Lan Shiqi a small favor, and Lan Shiqi should be obliged to work for him for free for the rest of his life, so hearing Lan Shiqi's "affectionate confession", Lu Yunzhou suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and there was a sense of guilt in his heart for bullying an honest person.

Lu Yunzhou scratched his head, stood up, pulled Lan Shiqi into the study, closed the door, and said with a smile: "Brother Lan, you are serious, not to the point of going to the soup, but this matter needs to be kept secret, we still close the door and whisper." Brother Lan, please take a seat first!"

Lu Yunzhou pressed Lan Shiqi on the seat in front of the bookcase, sat down behind the bookcase, and watched Lan Shiqi squirm and feel uneasy, so he had to pick up the teapot on the bookcase, pour a cup of tea, and hand it to Lan Shiqi, wanting him to relax.

Lan Shiqi hurriedly thanked him and took the teacup with both hands, held it in his hand, and took a small sip, as if he felt Lu Yunzhou's sincerity, Lan Shiqi also slowly let go, pressed the gratitude in his heart, and waited for Lu Yunzhou to speak.

Lu Yunzhou saw that Lan Shiqi had calmed down, so he asked the question he was most concerned about: "Brother Lan, I remember the last time I went to your house, I saw a few dock laborers who had a good relationship with you, have you kept in touch with them recently?"

Lan Shiqi was a little surprised when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Lu Yunzhou to ask this, and replied with some anxiety: "Childe, don't hide it, because my life in Qi Mansion has been better recently, and I don't have to worry about supporting my old age in the future, so I have some surplus money these days, and I often help those brothers from before, so I ......."

Lu Yunzhou was overjoyed when he heard this, since Lan Shiqi and those dock laborers have always been in contact, then letting Lan Shiqi go to them will not be abrupt and suspicious!

Lan Shiqi looked at the joy on Lu Yunzhou's face, and felt a little inexplicable, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lu Yunzhou was not thinking about his relationship with his former brother.

Lu Yunzhou pushed the pile of portraits on the bookcase in front of Lan Shiqi and said, "Brother Lan, take a look, do you know all these people?"

Lan Shiqi took the portrait suspiciously, and when he saw the first one, his eyes widened in shock: "This ...... Is it Ma Liu?"

Lan Shiqi continued to scroll down, his face gradually changed from extreme shock, to some numbness, from his mouth to his eyes, and when he finished reading all the portraits, Lan Shiqi looked at Lu Yunzhou with a kind of daylike eyes.

"Childe's painting skills,It's really a stroke of genius,Looking at these paintings,The people inside seem to come to life,It's as if you're facing a real person,This kind of painting skills,Unheard of,Never seen,It's really an eye-opener......"

Lu Yunzhou ignored Lan Shiqi's surprise at the sketch, but calmed down and asked seriously: "Brother Lan, do you know all the people on this painting?"

Lan Shiqi nodded and said: "I know everything, most of the people in this painting are old people from Watergate Wharf, but there are also some people who are new in recent years, but they all belong to the same small group!"

Lan Shiqi thought for a moment and explained: "Childe, most of the dock workers in the east of the city are some outsiders, because the wages of the dock workers are extremely low, so they naturally form some small groups, usually eat and live together, and help each other when they are in trouble. The people in this painting belong to one of the small groups, and their place of residence is not too far from my original residence, so I am quite familiar with them! However, there is also competition between different small groups, and the people in the painting all recognize a person named 'Fukuyama' as the boss, and this is the person!"

Lan Shiqi turned out one of the portraits, on which was painted a man with a fierce face, Lan Shiqi pointed to the portrait and said: "This Fushan is extremely powerful, and extremely fierce, he likes to bully the weak, and the people he gathers are mostly some tricky and treacherous people, who always oppress the good on weekdays. But they are very cunning, they work very hard, they know how to please those rich businessmen, and they will not cross the bottom line and do things that will be wanted by the government, so in the circle of dock laborers, they can be regarded as very good, and many laborers are afraid of them!"
