Bai Jiujiu was fascinated by his smile. Good-looking people are pleasing to the eye no matter what angle they look at. Even if they look from the chin up, they are perfect. This is called 360 degrees with no blind spots!

"Xuanyuan Jin, someone told you that you are really handsome, the kind that looks perfect from all angles." Bai Jiujiu looked at his face and said what he was thinking.

"No." The man said calmly, as if appearance was not important to him.

"You must be too serious on weekdays. Others don't dare to say it. You miss a lot of compliments in vain. You should smile more. Your face is definitely a show off of Nuwa's skills. It looks better when you smile." Bai Jiujiu

Raising her little hand, she almost poked the corner of his lips, causing the corners of his lips to rise.

The man lowered his head and looked at her raised little hand, not knowing why.

Bai Jiujiu was worried that he would be thrown directly into the water if he offended him, so he was so frightened that he quickly retracted his little hand.

"I'm not a joker, so why should I smile more?" the man asked seriously.

"Pfft", Bai Jiujiu couldn't help laughing out loud: "My lord, you are so funny. Laughter is a human's instinctive reaction. If you don't want to show off, you can smile more. I didn't expect you to have such a cold humorous side."

, I think you are really cute sometimes, being serious and saying funny things."

Xuanyuan Jin didn't understand what she meant by "contrast cuteness", and she didn't know what was funny about what she said. Why did she laugh so happily? It should be because she had been protected too well since she was a child and lived too carefree! That's why she felt

Everything is interesting.

"My lord, I know that as princes, you have to learn a lot of rules and etiquette from a young age, such as smiling without skipping a beat, being calm and serious, not embarrassing the royal family, and suppressing your inner emotions no matter how happy you are. In fact, this is against normal human physiology.

If you are reactive, you should restrain your happiness. What’s the point of life? Over time, you may not laugh, just like the prince is doing now." Bai Jiujiu imitated him with a cold face.

Xuanyuan Jin was amused by her appearance: "So in the eyes of the princess, this is what I look like?"

"That's right! You always have a cold face that doesn't allow strangers to approach you, which makes people afraid to come close. You have a sense of distance. It must be very tiring to hold it all the time! You need to relax properly. If the prince can't find a place to relax,

, I can do it reluctantly

Accept you, and the prince can be himself in front of me. If the prince is worried that I will reveal your true identity, you can give me some hush money, and I will definitely keep your secrets. How about that?" Bai Jiujiu looked serious.

Look at him.

"This is the true face of the princess! In order to make money, she really does everything possible. Do you plan to make up for the money lost in business from the king?" The man exposed it unceremoniously.

Bai Jiujiu curled his lips and said: "Your Majesty, what you said is too outrageous. We are husband and wife. What's yours is mine. When we divorce, you can't share half of mine. Mine...that's still mine, Your Majesty."

It’s not like he looks down on me. A hero like the prince will definitely look down on the money of a little girl like me, so the prince..."

"If you solve this case, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, but now, it is best for the princess to be quiet." This girl is too noisy.

"Okay!" The goal was achieved, and Bai Jiujiu was still very good.

Xuanyuan Jin hugged Bai Jiujiu and got into the carriage.

The driver drove the carriage away.

The person who was observing them in secret raised a proud smile upon seeing this, and then left.

After waiting for the people to leave, Xuanyuan Jin and Bai Jiujiu walked out from behind the pillars on the side. After getting on the carriage, they got out of the carriage window. The carriage blocked the sight of the people in the dark, thinking that they had left, and they had been following their carriage.

And go.

Bai Jiujiu and Xuanyuan Jin took advantage of the fact that no one was around and entered the burning ship again. They went directly below the deck and went to the cargo hold to look for the secrets under the cargo hold.

According to the height of the deck, the cargo hold is indeed a little short. I just searched around and found no entrance downwards. Could it be that they guessed wrong?

Impossible, there is definitely something wrong with the waterline of the ship.

The two did not give up and continued to search.

Just when the two of them still found nothing after searching around, Bai Jiujiu found some black traces at the stern of the boat, and immediately squatted down to check: "Your Majesty, there is gunpowder here."

Xuanyuan Jin came to her and knelt down: "Gunpowder? Isn't that used for making fireworks?" There are no firearms in this time and space, so gunpowder is not a controlled item, and its usual use is not great.

“Gunpowder can not only be used to make fireworks and firecrackers, but also has many uses, but it is also a flammable and dangerous item and should not be allowed on board ships carrying passengers.

The villagers said they heard a loud noise before the boat caught fire. Could it be caused by the gunpowder? Someone lit the gunpowder here?" Bai Jiujiu followed the gunpowder and found it, and it really connected to the fire at the stern of the boat.

"It seems that this fire is really man-made. Who is so bold as to light explosives on a ship with hundreds of lives? Even at the stern, it will cause casualties to innocent people."

Xuanyuan Jin checked near the gunpowder and found that the color of several ship boards was a little different from other ship boards. The glossiness of the edges of these ship boards was brighter, as if they had been touched frequently.

Press the board lightly with your hands, and the sound it makes will be relatively hollow.

I knocked on other boards again and found a dull sound, indicating that there was something wrong with these boards.

"Your Majesty, there must be a mechanism that can lead downstairs. Let's look for it." The two of them searched.

Xuanyuan Jin found a small wooden board with the same luster as the previous board in the corner. It was square in the corner. He pressed it with his hand and tilted it up. There was a rope inside.

After looking at the surrounding situation, I concluded that the rope should be the mechanism. I pulled it with a little force, and heard a "click!" and the suspicious wooden boards tilted up.

Bai Jiujiu ran over in surprise: "Your Majesty, there really is a passage here." She raised her hand to lift the wooden board, but it was too heavy for her to lift alone.

Xuanyuan Jin stepped forward, raised his hand and lifted it up. He only used one hand and got up without much effort.

Bai Jiujiu immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised: "It's good to have a man at home."

The man glanced at her. Although he didn't like being praised in person, he felt happy after hearing her compliments.

"You go down first." Xuanyuan Jin asked her to go down first. Although he didn't know what was going on down there and whether there was any danger, he didn't feel safe leaving her up there. It was better to take her with him.

There were stairs below. Bai Jiujiu went down smoothly, and Xuanyuan Jin followed her down.

It was very dark inside. Bai Jiujiu opened the torch in his hand and lit the lamp below.

The space here is more spacious than the cargo hold above.

There were many large boxes inside. Bai Jiujiu walked over to open them, but Xuanyuan Jin stopped her: "Be careful."

He took out the sword from his waist and used it to open the box.

When they saw the contents inside, they were surprised that the box contained weapons.

Bai Jiujiu stepped forward and took out a long knife, looked at it carefully and said, "Your Majesty, this knife is made of red iron. It can be blown to break hair and cut iron like mud. It is a superior weapon."
