Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling emerged from the water one after another, breathing in the fresh night air of Surabaya.

They exerted their strength at will, naturally generating suction from their palms and clinging to the ship's wall. Even they themselves didn't understand how they could do it.

Kou Zhong leaned close to Xu Ziling's ear and said proudly: "Zhao today still doesn't teach Mrs. Shen to make him do a big somersault, ha! Mrs. Shen's grandmother:"

Xu Ziling said: "Don't become complacent so early. You still have half a day to win this gambling game. If you are too complacent, you may miss the mark and fall short of the success."

Kou Zhong nodded and said, "I am sensible now. Alas! We are so stupid. When we made the bet, she was the only one who said what it would be like if we won, but not what it would be like if we won. Otherwise, it would be nice to touch her twice."

Xu Ziling chuckled and said, "Stop your wishful thinking! This woman is covered in thorns and must not be touched. Alas! I'm worried that Brother Qin won't be able to fight her!"

Kou Zhong said: "It's better if you can't fight her. Otherwise, what if you kill that foolish king? Hey! These three ships seem to have some background. Are you interested in lending him two sets of clothes and a little food money? It would be better than being in rags and having nothing." He looks like a beggar."

Xu Ziling whispered: "Be careful! Anyone who can own such three big ships is either a high-ranking official, a nobleman, or a wealthy overlord. If we are not careful, we will sacrifice our lives."

Kou Zhong frowned and said, "Should we go or not?"

Xu Ziling chuckled and said: "We are not even afraid of dad, so why should we be afraid of someone coming? Follow me, a future martial arts master!"

After saying that, he stuck to the wall and slowly climbed up.

At this time, the two of them had already learned a lot about the art of concealment; they closed their mouths and noses to breathe, restrained their energy functions, and were very careful to make no sound.

Wind lanterns were hung on the deck and mast of the big ship, but only half of the more than twenty cabin windows on the upper and lower floors facing them were lit.

Xu Ziling chose one of the dark cabin windows on the second floor and climbed to it. When he passed by one of the lighted windows, a soft female voice came from inside.

The two of them were young at heart and couldn't help but stop and listen.

The woman's voice suddenly rang in their ears: "Second brother, you'd better not try to persuade dad. He has always been loyal to the court. Uncle Duan has been trying to persuade me for a long time, but he still refuses to listen to even a single word?"

The two of them were startled. Then they realized that the woman with the beautiful voice had moved to the window, so she dared to move even a little bit.

Another young man's voice said distressedly: "What I can't let go of is my relationship with the Dugu family, but I don't know that Dugu Feng is so cunning and cunning that he treats us like a thorn in his eyes. Now the world is in chaos, all the people are angry, and the Turks are watching with eagerness and laziness." There is nothing the DPRK can do anymore. But we are sitting in Taiyuan, with abundant troops, abundant food and grass, and can eat him for ten or eight years. Now the Yingyang faction Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi are all connected to the Turks in the north, and they have raised troops to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, and have successively captured Loulan. He Dingxiang, as long as Yanmen is defeated again, we in Taiyuan will be the first to bear the brunt. If we continue to hesitate, we will only be tired of that foolish king in the end, and the boat will be overturned and everyone will die."

The two people outside the window were chilling when they heard it. Whose children were the men and women inside? They were directly involved in the Dugu clan and Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. They were even more horrified and did not dare to move.

This man's voice is full of vigor, and it goes without saying that he is a first-rate master.

The woman said softly: "Have you discussed this with eldest brother?"

The man said: "I don't know how many times I have said this. He can't think of a way. Xiuning should know how terrible his father is when he becomes stubborn."

Na Xiuning said: "How about we start with Mrs. Dongming, because dad will listen to her the most. Alas! If mother hadn't passed away, it would be best if she persuaded dad."

The two people outside the window were so horrified that they almost threw away their hands and fell into the river.

They finally guessed that they were climbing on Li Clan's boat. If they dared to continue eavesdropping, they quickly climbed up again quietly.

At this time, the conversation in the cabin suddenly stopped. But the two of them paid no attention to it.

The two of them opened the window and saw that no one was in the room before climbing in. At this time, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them glanced around and saw that this was a very large bedroom, gorgeously decorated. In addition to beds, chairs and other items, there was also a large box, which should have been used to store clothes and other items.

Kou Zhong leaned into Xu Ziling's ear and said, "We should be thieves in a wise way. Each of us only takes one set of clothes. If we find some silver, we only take enough money for a few days' meals and a visit to a brothel."

At this time, a man's head popped up at the window door. Hearing Kou Zhong's words, he suddenly shrank back.

Xu Ziling whispered: "I didn't expect that we would come to steal Li Yuan's things. Didn't that Dugu boy want to harm Li Yuan?"

How about we harm him in return? If we leave a note to warn the people of Li clan, we can treat it as repaying their stolen debt."

Kou Zhong chuckled and said: "When did you become so conscientious! Ha! I'm afraid we are the only ones in the world who have the ability to make Li Yuan rebel. But I don't know whether this guy is a good guy or a bad guy..."

Xu Ziling interrupted him and said: "Stop talking nonsense, it will be bad if someone comes, steal something quickly!"

The two moved to the box and were about to open the lid when a "shu" sound suddenly came from the window door, seeming to signal them not to make any noise.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were immediately stunned and looked toward the cabin window in shock.

I saw a black shadow entering through the window silently and standing in front of the two people.

The two of them took a closer look and found out that it was a young man from Xuanwu who was only a little older than them. He had a square face and big ears, a majestic appearance, eyes as bright as paint, and a lively spirit. At this moment, he stood proudly, with a calm attitude, and he was like a Yuan Tingyue.

His perseverance can make people's hearts change.

When Kou Xu was dumbfounded, the young man whispered: "I am Shimin, the third son of Li Yuan left behind in Taiyuan. The two brothers are very similar to each other. I don't know their surname?"

The two of them exchanged glances and calmed down a little, but at the same time they were also puzzled as to why he had "trapped these two little thieves in his room" and was still so polite, as if they just came unexpectedly.

"Dignified Guest".

The two stood up.

Kou Zhong clasped his fists in salute and said with a smile: "Good job changing the name Shimin, ha! To save the world and benefit the people, you may be the emperor in the future."

Li Shimin smiled lightly and said, "Brother, please don't look down on me, but there is a story behind the name. Can you two please sit down and talk?"

At this time, Li Xiuning's voice came up from below: "Second brother! What's going on?"

Li Shimin returned to the window and said, "I'll talk to you later!"

He turned around and sat down with the two of them, his attitude was sincere and polite.

The two of them vaguely guessed his intentions, and knowing that they couldn't get through the window he was guarding, they bit the bullet and sat down on the two imperial chairs on the wall. Since their bodies were still wet, they felt quite uncomfortable.

Li Shimin smiled calmly, sat down on the chair by the window, and said: "When I was four years old, a man who was good at fortune telling came to our family. When he showed me my fortune, he said, "I am twenty years old. I will be able to help the world and bring peace to the people."

"My mother loved me the most at that time, so she changed my name to Shimin."

While talking, he took the fire and lit the oil lamp on the side table.

Xu Ziling saw a look of nostalgia in his eyes when he mentioned his mother. He couldn't help but think of Fu Junma and sighed: "You must miss your mother very much."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, stared at the water stains left by the two on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "What is the relationship between the two of you and Mrs. Shan Meixian of Ryukyu Dongming? Why did his heart skip a few beats when he heard her name?" Otherwise, I still wouldn't have noticed that the two of them had stolen onto the ship."

Only then did the two of them realize where the problem was.

They were also surprised by Li Shimin's thoughtfulness. From this point alone, he could deduce that they were involved with Mrs. Dongming.

Kou Zhong chuckled and said: "Of course it does matter! If we make a deal, assuming we can make your father rebel, you will give my two brothers two sets of clothes and... Hey! He Er, No! Thirty taels of silver, ha! How about it?"

This time it was Li Shimin's turn to be dumbfounded and lost his voice: "Thirty taels of silver?"

Xu Ziling was startled and hurriedly said, "If that's too much, just twenty-five taels."

Li Shimin looked at the two of them in disbelief. He reached into his arms and took out a money bag. He threw it to Kou Zhong without looking at it and said, "Look at how much silver there is in it."

Kou Zhong pressed it and untied the knot without politeness. After looking at it, he sighed and said, "My grandma and father, Zeng Gaozu, are his mother's gold ingots!"

Xu Ziling hurriedly put his head to take a look. He exclaimed, "This is worth at least a few hundred taels of silver."

Kou Zhong's eyes shone brightly, he stuffed it into his arms, took a deep breath and said, "Use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. I'll leave it to my brother."

Xu Ziling was more conscientious and said sheepishly: "Mr. Zhong, please return the money to the person first, and then accept the money after you have done something good!"

Li Shimin said: "Take it and use it! Regardless of success or failure, we can all make friends. This will be enough for you to visit the brothel more than a hundred times."

Both of them were moved at the same time.

Kou Zhongxue raised his thumb and praised: "That's why we made you our friend."

Li Shimin whispered: "Don't be so loud, I don't want people to know you are here."

Old Kou Zhong blushed, lowered his voice and whispered: "Let me tell you a shocking secret! Mrs. Dongming has an account book detailing your father's secret purchase of weapons from her. There are also His seal, imagine what would happen if this treasure was stolen?"

Li Shimin's spirit perked up, and he naturally knew that the two of them were not just talking nonsense. This was because he was leading his people to Pengcheng this time to order another batch of weapons from Madam of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Two years ago, his father Li Yuan was transferred to Honghua to stay behind and knew the military affairs of the thirteen counties in Guanyou. In order to deal with Yang Xuangan's army, Li Yuan finally accepted his advice and purchased a large number of weapons from Mrs. Dongming. Emperor Sui Yang did not know about this. If it is leaked out and there is real evidence, it will be a wonder for the world that the suspicious Emperor Yang of Sui did not conspire with Li Yuan to rebel.

After Li Shimin was stunned for a long time, he frowned and said, "Mrs. Dongming is a master among the best in the world, and the four guardian fairies each have their own unique skills. Unless Ning Daoqi, the "sanren", takes action, who can steal such an important thing from their ship?"

Xu Ziling smiled and said: "Seeing that you are such a good friend, we can tell you some more secrets, but you can't follow other people's methods of harming us, or use methods after the fact."

Li Shimin said sternly: "If I, Li Shimin, had such despicable behavior, I would not die a good death. Huh! How dare you look at me like that."

Kou Zhongruo said nonchalantly: "It's called being bitten by a snake once. It's also called being cautious and sailing a boat for thousands of years. We must first establish mutual trust before any big plan can be implemented."

Li Shimin obviously saw through Kou Zhong's dishonesty and said to Xu Ziling: "Let you tell!"

At this time, someone was walking by outside. After the sound of footsteps faded away, Xu Ziling asked, "Whose room is this?"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "It's my room. The next floor is for the women. If you want to steal clothes, you just came to the right place. My figure is the closest to yours!"

Both of them found it funny.

Xu Ziling then started talking about the Haisha Gang's plan to attack the Dongming Hao. When Li Shimin heard that Yu Wenhuaji and Dugu Ce were involved, his eyes shone with coldness and power.

Kou Zhong concluded: "So now we are the only two who can sneak into the boat. And they think that our martial arts are low, so they are not very wary. Of course, we are just hiding it deeply, and we will never let down your money, brother."

"Li Shimin was used to his tone of voice and didn't care whether he was hiding something or not. He thought hard: "Is there any way to lure Mrs. Dongming away? I have to think about this."

He stood up, took out two sets of clothes from the box, handed them to the two of them, and said: "Change into dry clothes first, and then have a good sleep. I won't wake you up until dawn arrives in Pengcheng. I want to go down below and explain a few words to my roommate."

That's all."

Kou Zhong said: "We can just sleep on the floor."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Such a big bed is enough for three people to sleep on. What floor should we sleep on? We are not only trading partners, but also brothers and friends. Ha! What happened to you is so bizarre that it is unbelievable."

After saying that, he walked through the window.

The two of them stepped into Pengcheng, feeling quite confident and contented.
