Chapter 2117 No Friends, only Interests

The screams pierced the darkness and spread far away, farther than the bells on the dock.

Under the bell frame, a Ming soldier loosened the rope, spat at the distance, and cursed: "They are all a bunch of shameful maggots!"

After the screams, the bells followed.

The two-story building was not far from the dock, which made Hong Bao feel at ease.

Hong Bao had returned to the ship, and this place became the residence of Duoke and the other two.

They were toasting.

The night was long, and boredom was the biggest betrayal of life.

So they asked the cook to prepare a lot of dishes and then drink.

Meat is of course the most popular.

"This is a fresh swan. Look, after roasting it, put the feathers back. Isn't it beautiful?"

The golden roasted swan looked delicious.

The feathers inserted on the golden color seemed beautiful, but they weakened the temptation of the food, and it was more like showing off.

Moreover, the heat of the roasted swan wafted out from the golden skin, fumigating the feathers, and suddenly a fishy smell that made people want to vomit spread faintly.

But the three of them were watching, and then someone came to pluck the feathers and started cutting the thick swan meat with a knife.

The slightly white meat made people feel happy. Doc licked his lips and said, "Didn't the Ming people give some sauce that day? Let's dip it in."

Someone went to get a small jar and opened it. A spicy aroma came out.

Doc couldn't wait to take a large piece of swan meat, dipped it in some sauce and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm..."

Abel and Henry both took the swan meat and found it delicious, but not as good as the Ming people's food.

When the screams came, Doc was still savoring the food.

His cheeks bulged high and chewed hard. He still held the wine glass in his right hand, ready to take a big sip of wine to swallow the meat.

He had just swallowed halfway when he heard the screams.

His movements stopped, and the wine was blocked by the minced meat blocking his throat and flowed down the corners of his mouth.

He saw the disappointment in Abel and Henry's eyes, then his eyes bulged and his face gradually turned red...

"Puff!"

The minced meat soaked in wine flew all over the sky. Abel and Henry had no time to react, nor did they want to react, so they were enveloped in it.

Then the bell rang, and an officer came in from outside. He said in a deep voice: "The Ming people found out, and they are using the most cruel methods to torture our people."

The bell stopped, and the howling continued. Not long after, the second howling sound came.

Both were caught!

Doc was panting, with a mouth full of liquid and minced meat, and his expression was dull.

Abel and Henry were in a daze.

They didn't care about the minced meat on their faces, but just looked at Doc.

This is your fault!

You sent someone!

"Cough cough cough..."

Doc suddenly slid off the chair and squatted on the ground coughing violently.

Heart-wrenching!

The howling sound came faintly, like the cry of a night owl.

Failed!

Doc panted and said, "Send someone immediately, remember not to get too close to the dock, just ask if they need help."

"Will that be... fake?"

The officer thought that he should ignore it at this time, so as not to be guessed by the Ming people that it was their hands and feet.

Abel wiped his face with his hand, then shook off the minced meat on his hand, and said, "If you don't go at this time, you will feel guilty. Remember to ask them what's going on."

Henry shook his head slightly, then wiped his face with his sleeve, and said, "They must know, but they are unwilling to kill the two people at once. This is for us to see, Doc, forget about it, at least forget it for now."

Doc looked at him coldly and said, "I failed, so do you think the Ming people will value you more? Then wait and see, see what a great power is."

Abel's face changed slightly, and he stood up and said, "I'm going to take a look."

Doc said disdainfully, "Whatever."

Abel went out, and Henry didn't Go, Doc looked up to him: "Your Highness is really wise,

Abel, that fool, doesn't know that the partners that a big country wants are partners who can help him, not burdens."

Henry said expressionlessly: "I am the prince of Lisbon, and I have nothing to do with your two countries, Doc, I just want the delegation to board the ship, and I am not so impatient to obtain the secret of Ming people's gunpowder, because we will slowly find the best formula..."

Doc said coldly: "So you are good people."

Henry stood up and said: "There are no good people in this world, Doc, remember this sentence, there are only benefits, not good people."

...

The dock is already brightly lit, and so is the deck.

Hong Bao has come out, he is sitting on the deck, and someone is holding an umbrella for him behind him.

There is a table in front of him, with a pot of wine and the remaining one-third of the roasted lamb leg.

In front of him, someone is holding a lantern and a torch, and in the fierce sound, the two captured captives have been beaten to pieces.

The screams did not affect Hong Bao's appetite. He bit the lamb leg slowly and drank the wine slowly.

"The lamb here is good. Remember to bring some back. See if you can raise them in Daming. Then you can keep them as offspring..."

The screams of the two continued. Zhang Wang whispered, "Eunuch, I'm afraid it will disturb the brothers' sleep. Why don't you hang them to death?"

People like to hang people here. Zhang Wang thinks it's good to follow the local customs. At least he will feel good when he sees the two corpses swaying in the wind on the dock.

"What are you panicking about?"

Hong Bao had seen the fire in the distance. It was a torch. Someone was coming.

He tore off a piece of mutton and chewed it slowly. His molars moved and hurt slightly.

The teeth were going to fall out!

He was a little dazed. He remembered the experience of being taken away, castrated, and then studying...

He was so young at that time!

At that time, the symbol of manliness was cut off, but he still felt that the sun was so charming and his spirit was so vigorous.

Zhang Wang also saw it. He grinned and said, "Hit harder!"

So the executioners were no longer taboo and used all kinds of means.

The screams suddenly became sharp. Abel, who rushed to the dock, dismounted and said to the Ming army who was forcing him, "I hope I can go and see if my friend is okay."

He was intercepted by a small flag unit. The small flag officer saw that there were still people coming from behind, so he sneered, "This is not allowed to be sneaky. Are you preparing for a strong attack?"

Abel smiled bitterly. Several ships did not untie the ropes. Obviously, Hong Bao knew their response.

The embarrassment was replaced by urgency, and Abel said: "The Plantagenets are in charge of all this..."

"Ah..."

After the last scream, a corpse was thrown down and landed heavily on the dock.

Henry had arrived and just saw the scene of the corpse falling.

He looked pale, dismounted, and then said: "We care about the safety of our friends. Before we set off, the king said that Lisbon's friends must not be harmed, otherwise Lisbon will go all out...no matter who the other party is."
