Better to live forever [Rebirth]

The Ning family has been in Guangzhou for a long time, and the maritime business has been operating for a long time.

Although the sea is dangerous and unpredictable, and casualties are inevitable, but there has never been a case where an entire caravan disappeared like this time.Even if there was a storm at sea, with the means of the Ning family's caravan, it is absolutely impossible for no one to survive. Therefore, after the caravan disappeared, the Ning family never gave up searching and rescue.

But two times and three times are enough to show that the disappearance of the first batch of missing maritime caravans and later search and rescue teams was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster.

"Aheng, do you think it's the same group of people?"

The bad bank incident just started, Ning Heng had just arrived in Guangzhou, and the caravans of the Ning family disappeared one after another. Is it really just a coincidence?If it is the same group of people, what is the purpose of those people?Could it be that he wants to force Ning Heng to go to sea, and plot something at sea?

This guess is not impossible.

Ning Heng's identity is a top secret in Dajing, and few people know that Lord Changxin of the past is the Patriarch of the Ning Mansion in Guangzhou.They went south this time with light clothes and did not reveal their identities. Everyone seemed to be no different from ordinary businessmen. If the other party was really targeting Ning Heng, it could only show that his status was not low, and he knew what most people didn't know. inside story.

The person who has the ability to steal and exchange the national treasury silver is definitely one of the insiders.

Thinking of this, Zhu Dingbei felt a little annoyed.Although the emperor's old son handed over this errand to Ning Heng, although he didn't publicize it, anyone who is interested can find out.It's hard to guarantee, it's a plan to push Ning Heng out as an early bird, throwing bait to lure the other party to show up.

Ning Heng thought about it carefully before replying, "Not exactly."

"Oh?"

Ning Heng whispered the name of a place next to Zhu Dingbei's ear, and seeing that Zhu Dingbei understood, he continued: "The caravan lost its trace here at first, maybe it met someone accidentally."

The barren sea south of Zhuya County.

One of the possible places where Taizu hid his treasure.

In the past few years, Emperor Zhenyuan has never given up his search here. If the caravan accidentally encounters these people, in order to cover up some facts, it is indeed possible to use some means to keep these people "close-mouthed".

Zhu Dingbei suddenly smiled, "You want to search and rescue by yourself?"

He has not forgotten the real purpose of him and Ning Heng coming to Guangzhou Mansion this time!

The Ning family's search and rescue team not only failed to find the survivors, but also trapped themselves in it.Then Ning Heng, who had just returned to Ning Mansion and was waiting for Liwei Lixin, went to sea to search and rescue in person, which was also reasonable and should not attract attention.They took this opportunity to go out to sea, and the sea was so vast that it would be easy for them to do something without being seen.

Ning Heng smiled slightly, acquiescing to Zhu Dingbei's guess.

Zhu Dingbei said with a smirk: "If the head of the Ning family is also missing at sea, I don't know. The first person who is anxious is the emperor or the person who is waiting to be released."

Ning Heng smiled back: "Wait and see."

Now that the enemy is in the dark and they are in the open, "disappearing" a game is a good way to turn passive into active.

Zhu Dingbei propped his forehead lazily, and asked him, "When are you leaving?"

"Leave after explaining things."

Ning Heng raised his hand to stroke Zhu Dingbei's hair, but he didn't care when he brushed it away.Instead, he said: "You also remember to let me know, don't let your grandpa and the others worry."

Zhu Dingbei glanced at him, secretly thinking that Lord Changxin has become more and more "worrying" in the past two years.

On the second day, Ning Heng's decision to personally go to sea to search and rescue caused panic and opposition from half of the tribe.They managed to get the Patriarch back, how could they let him put himself in danger?The other half confirmed that Ning Heng's decision would not be changed and did not ask any further questions.The patriarch of the Ning family has always put faith first in his attitude towards the people of the clan. These people are unknown for the sake of the Ning family, so the patriarch will naturally be responsible for them to the end. There is nothing to argue about.

Seeing that Ning Heng couldn't be defeated, the opposing clansmen were terrified, but they could only carefully arrange the outfit and entourage for going to sea to minimize the risk.

It was a sunny day when we went out to sea, and after entering the sea, we felt the strong phosphorescence on the sea, making it difficult for people to look up at the sun.

Zhu Dingbei said: "This summer is hotter than usual earlier."

In the past three years, the weather has been tricky. In summer and autumn, severe droughts and severe floods followed one after another. In winter, it was extremely cold, and there was snow falling on the face of Guangzhou.Natural disasters are unavoidable, and corresponding to the frequency of Emperor Zhenyuan's sacrifices to the country, it is the disaster relief silver taels allocated by the Ministry of Households. In the past three years, people dare not relax in the slightest.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the year, Qin Tianjian asserted that the disaster had passed, which made people dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

This is consistent with Zhu Dingbei's memory. Afterwards, he knew that he had never encountered such an extreme climate again after his death.

Ning Heng stood beside him, blocking the sunlight for him, and said softly: "Summer in Guangzhou Mansion comes earlier than Luo Jing, it has always been like this. Let's go back to the cabin, don't catch the heat."

Seeing that he obediently agreed, Ning Heng smiled. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from Zhu Dingbei's forehead, and the two walked back while talking.

The shopkeeper of the Ning family who was accompanying him saw Qi Qi, and asked Uncle Ning, "What is the identity of this person, the Patriarch treats him differently than others."

Uncle Ning, who was an onlooker, had watched Ning Heng's side for these years, and already understood what the child wanted. At this moment, he sighed secretly in his heart, and said to the shopkeeper: "Since the Patriarch didn't mention it, don't be too curious. .”

The other party was even more curious when he saw that he was secretive.

However, as Uncle Ning said, they have no right to interfere with the Patriarch's private affairs.

There was nothing to do in bed, and in the afternoon, the scorching heat of the sea and the humid water vapor made people drowsy, Zhu Dingbei had nothing to do, so he simply took a nap.

After discussing the details of sailing with several people at the helm, Ning Heng went to the house to take a look, and was immediately stunned.

Changsheng's sleeping posture has become more and more correct in the past two years.

Perhaps because of the stuffy weather, the clothes on his chest were ripped apart indiscriminately, revealing a piece of fair skin in front of Ning Heng.

He looked thin, but there was a firm layer of flexible muscles attached to his chest. Ning Heng imagined the softness and elasticity there, and felt his mouth dry for a moment.He wanted to go forward to fix his clothes, but when he squatted in front of him, he couldn't bear it anymore. He stared at Zhu Dingbei's face with unconcealed fascination, and only pulled it back when his fingertips touched his skin. Hand, as if being scalded, fingers curled up.

He grew from a jealous child to an age old enough to know his own mind.

This process has caused him a lot of pain.

Out of love comes fear.

No one knows better than Ning Heng how difficult it is to monopolize this person.

He never dared to reveal his thoughts, and only when he couldn't see it, he dared to let his eyes be unscrupulous, sweet and frightened in the sinking.

As soon as Zhu Dingbei opened his eyes, he was taken aback by Ning Heng's approaching face, he paused in mid-air in his attack, and then smashed Lord Changxin's head angrily, and said, "What are you doing! "

When he got up and saw the palm leaf fan in his hand, he realized that he had misunderstood, coughed and immediately changed into a smiling face, and said to him: "Thank you, Lord, go and pour me a cup of summer tea."

Call it out, but it's not polite at all.

He stretched his waist, straightened the clothes he didn't care much about, put on his shoes and got up, and asked while taking tea, "What time is it?"

"It will be You time in two quarters. Go outside for a walk later to have an appetizer, just in time for dinner."

While talking, Ning Heng pressed him on the table, untied his messy hair from sleeping, and re-combed the crown—for the convenience of traveling, he and Zhu Dingbei both wore crowns to show their maturity.Zhu Dingbei doesn't like hair oil, and doesn't pay attention to grooming, so he handles this hair very casually.During the past three months of traveling, Ning Heng has been helping him take care of it.

The so-called practice makes perfect, Ning Heng's skills are getting better and better.

Zhu Dingbei was used to being served by Lord Changxin and didn't feel anything. When the other party applied the cool mint ointment on his forehead and the back of his neck, he sighed comfortably: "Aheng, you are really It's getting better and better."

Ning Heng tapped his forehead, thanking him for his "compliment".

After all, it is only the first ten days of May, and the heat on the sea disappears around sunset, and the salty and humid sea breeze blows in, which makes people feel refreshed.

The dinner was served on the deck, Zhu Dingbei took a sip, and his stubborn tongue felt something was wrong.Although I thought in my heart that Uncle Ning's craftsmanship had regressed, it was still delicious, so I didn't say much, but thanked Uncle Ning as usual.

Uncle Ning was in charge of the cook in the Marquis of Changxin, but two years ago Zhu Dingbei knew that the other party's true identity was the guard sent by the Ning family to Ning Heng.

When he was young, his martial arts skills were ranked among the best in the Jianghu. Over time, his martial arts will naturally improve to a higher level.Therefore, Ning Heng was naturally accompanied by him when he traveled. Zhu Dingbei sighed several times that it is really rare to have a guard who cooks by his side.

Uncle Ning glanced at the Patriarch, then at Zhu Dingbei, who hadn't tasted the change, sighed in his heart, and confessed: "Spending the night at sea is different from the past, the Marquis and the little Marquis must not go out of the cabin at night. There is something to tell the people below."

They sailed on the sea for three months before, but they all took the official sea roads near the shore, and there are docks for ship merchants to park and rest, which is naturally different from spending the night on the sea now.

Zhu Dingbei responded casually, and said again: "Uncle Ning, is there any snacks in the kitchen?"

Knowing his habits, Uncle Ning hurriedly said: "Eating cakes at night to accumulate food, I always prepare ready-to-digest porridge. If the young master is hungry at night, he will call someone to fetch it. It's not a bad thing to be hungry when you are long. Little things, please don't hold back."

Zhu Dingbei laughed, "When have I ever been polite to you?"

Uncle Ning has also become more nagging in the past two years.

Well, maybe it's because he didn't really accept himself in the past two years.

With Zhu Dingbei's keenness, he naturally knew the change in Uncle Ning's attitude towards him, but he never thought that it was because the other party sensed some unspeakable thoughts of the Patriarch, and served him completely with the attitude of "the mistress of the house".

Fortunately, he didn't know, otherwise he would have jumped into the sea in anger.

At this time, he turned to Ning Heng and said, "Ah Heng, Lou Da Er said that he is coming to Guangzhou Mansion, have you delivered your letter yet?"

Before they left, they received a letter from the brothers of the Lou family, saying that they also wanted to go south, and Zhu Dingbei was the first to object.When I woke up, I didn't think to ask about the follow-up.

Ning Heng put down his chopsticks, looked at him and smiled, "Well, it's already delivered."

Seeing that he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes couldn't help flickering slightly, but soon disappeared in the deep eyes with the sunset.
