Chapter 2116 I Want to Hear Screams
The wine is good, but the Thai bartender Hong Bao is not used to it, so he still drinks the wine on the ship.
But the food that goes with the wine is from Taixi.
A leg of lamb smeared with honey was roasted to a golden color and looked very appetizing.
This is a Thai-style recipe. Hong Bao just wanted to try the taste and slowly get tipsy.
The waves gently beat against the hull of the boat, causing people to sway slightly. But after a long time, you will get used to this swaying and gradually ignore it.
Hong Bao listened to the subtle sound of the drizzle soaking the warships, and said with satisfaction: "When our family gets old, if we can have such a comfortable life, then it will be considered as if our journey in this world was not in vain."
Zhang Wang was gnawing on the sheep's head.
There was a lot of meat on the sheep's neck. He bit hard and swallowed it in together with the tendons. Then he took a big sip of wine and sighed.
In comparison, Hong Bao eats more politely.
He ate the leg of lamb more meticulously, as if he was worried that it would be his last meal in life, so it was so delicate that it was shocking.
When others eat lamb or chicken legs, they eat from the top, where the meat is thickest. But Hong Bao started eating from the bottom, where the meat was least.
He looked at the leg of lamb with most of it left with satisfaction, then took a sip of wine, looked at the swaying oil lamp on the table and said, "What do they want?"
Zhang Wang was chewing the tendons, and the collision between his teeth and the tendons made a squeaking sound.
He swallowed the unchewed tendons with all his might, and with a flash of light in his eyes, he said, "They want Daming's treasure."
Hong Bao chuckled and said, "What should I do?"
"Kill them. If they don't accept it, then kill them again until they want to fall out with us."
"No, they don't dare to fall out."
Hong Bao took a big bite on the top of the lamb leg, and his mouth was immediately filled with the lamb.
He chewed it with satisfaction, as if he was enjoying dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder.
He slowly ate the mouthful of mutton without drinking, and there was some inexplicable excitement in his eyes.
"Although the Ming Dynasty is not afraid of Taixi, we need to make them more internally conflicted, so... kill everyone who comes, okay?"
"Don't worry, father-in-law."
Zhang Wang finished the other leg of lamb in a few times, burped, looked regretfully at the wine jar next to him, stood up and said, "Sit down, sir, I'm going to leave."
Hong Bao nodded and said, "Remember to make their screams sadder and louder, otherwise they won't be able to scare away those monsters."
Zhang Wang opened the hatch and a blast of cold air rushed in.
"Hell's weather!"
Zhang Wang complained, and Hong Bao said, "There's no need to close it."
Zhang Wang's back flashed in the light, and then disappeared on the deck.
"We want to hear the screams, the more miserable the better!"
Hong Bao continued to drink, the lights were shining, and the figure swayed slightly on the bulkhead, ferocious and lonely.
From the moment Zheng He was stunned by the drug, Hong Bao already regarded himself as a dead person.
He knew that no matter how great his achievements were, as long as his drugging Zheng He was exposed, those achievements would be regarded as ancestral merit if they could save his life.
"My ancestors... they don't recognize the disabled people!"
He was a little sentimental and sighed until it became quieter and quieter outside.
The drizzle moistens things silently, but in an extremely quiet environment, people with sensitive six senses can still feel the gentle infiltration.
This time is not suitable for sneaking in, but there are black shadows crawling in the darkness, heading towards the fleet.
Four warships, one outside the dock, are always on alert.
Three warships and two grain ships were docked at the pier, quietly. The few lights were like fireflies struck by raindrops in the rainy night, as if they would dim in the next moment.
The deck was a little slippery and slippery.
The secret whistle stayed motionless outside the cabin at the bow of the ship. The cabin extended out like a roof-like protrusion, which just blocked the falling drizzle.
So he sat there and took a nap in great comfort.
The so-called dozing off is because there is no one around and you need to concentrate on using your hearing.
So he closed his eyes and even ignored his sense of smell.
Focus on getting a better experience.
In a quiet environment, you feel that there is no sound, but when you focus all your energy and energy in your ears, you will find that a more microscopic world is waving to you.
The sound of tiny waves gently hitting the hull is small but clearly audible.
The snoring of my comrades could be heard below the deck. Even though it had been filtered through several layers, the rhythm of breathing could still be discerned.
These sounds can be distinguished. When the sound of friction came from the hull, Anshao's body moved slightly.
The sound was very small, but in An Shao's almost stagnant brain, it was as loud as a yellow bell.
"How about it?"
The place not far from the dock was Hong Bao's temporary residence yesterday, but now it has a different owner.
No, three owners.
"Why didn't you do it in Lisbon? The terrain was easier there."
There were three men sitting around a table.
Abel's ridicule did not make Prince Henry angry. He just smiled and said: "They want to kill me, you know? Just because of my strong interest in sailing and curiosity about their fleet, they want to assassinate me."
"so what?"
Doc was no longer as serious as he was during the day, and said with a little frivolity: "That is a great power. The price of provoking it is at least your life, Henry... Your Highness, I think you are too obsessed with sailing and have forgotten what a great power is, for example..."
"Gorse?"
Abel said coldly.
Doc's frivolity gradually dissipated, and there was more coldness in his eyes. He said slowly: "Abel, do you want to start over? No, is it Frank who wants to start over and experience the power of a great power? Well, then, I think Plantagenet will meet your request."
Abel's face turned blue, and he said lightly: "Great power, compared with the Ming Dynasty, who is greater?"
Doc suddenly whistled and laughed: "Look, look, someone is instigating the relationship between us and the Ming Dynasty. It's a terrible idea."
Henry said in a low voice: "Enough!"
The three sat quietly.
Suddenly someone outside whispered, "Go out."
Abel's breathing tightened, and he said, "This is your territory, at least for now."
"You are less courageous than a mouse, Abel, are you afraid of Ming people's revenge?"
Doc shook his head and said, "The Ming people will remember it and think it is a conspiracy planned by us together, so you should pray for success, at least to steal gunpowder."
The three of them bowed their heads and prayed to the gods in their hearts.
...
It was drizzling, and a black shadow slowly flipped over the side of the ship, and then lay on the deck motionless.
Slowly, he did not turn around, but gently pulled the rope he was carrying.
Then another person came up.
The two touched each other's hands in the dark, and then crawled to both ends separately.
They didn't know where the real passage to the bottom of the deck of the Ming warship was, so they had to split up to search for it.
Their movements were too gentle, like two caterpillars crawling on the deck, silently, but always moving.
One of them touched the bow, which was pointed out as the most likely place.
Because the Ming people's entrance and exit were at the stern, but goods had been brought in here before.
Those were the goods transported from the grain ship, all sealed wooden barrels, which were determined to be gunpowder.
He crawled to the bow, then looked around and reached out to touch the hatch.
Then a gust of wind blew behind him, and then there was a sound from his thigh...
"Ah..."
The shrill howl spread far in the silent night, and many people heard it.
