Chapter 418: Gathering

The windows stopped fluttering, the lights stopped faltering, and the wind was much quieter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking out the window at the trunk of the tree that finally straightened up, Zheng Fei was surprised and joked: "When you encounter a windy day when you go to sea in the future, you must ask you to say something." ”

Christine herself was also surprised, and nodded her head a few times: "It seems that I have been favored by God." ”

With that, he put down his glass and stood up, striding to the center of the hall under the protection of the guards, and ascending to the circular platform set up there.

His ascension to the stage caused a brief silence in the hall, and the people looked at him, and then whispered eagerly as to guess what he wanted to say.

Christine raised her hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and smiled.

"Generals, go back and tell the soldiers that this is the last party before the expedition, our great dynastic war is coming, get ready for the dawn of victory!"

After a while, the hall burst into cheers, and the generals who had been waiting for eight years waved their arms indulgently, their faces were filled with unstoppable joy, no matter whether they were men or women beside them, they were so excited that they grabbed it and gave it a big hug.

In the midst of these shouts and cheers, Christine stepped off the high platform and quietly disappeared from people's view.

He went back to the house to pack up his half-finished drawings, carefully folded them and put them in a bag made of cowhide, and carried them with him.

"Let's go. He said to Zheng Fei, turning his head to take one last look at the room and the starry night sky outside the window.

When I came to the door, I was just about to open it, when I heard two knocks on the door.

After thinking about it, Christine opened the door to see that it was the king, and couldn't help but smile politely.

"Christine, is the expedition really about to begin?" asked the king, his anxious look revealing his desire for victory and conquest.

In this interval, Zheng Fei looked at the king from head to toe.

This must have been a belligerent king, with a majestic look in his eyes, a hooked nose that symbolized fierceness and cunning, and broad shoulders and strong arms that showed great strength.

"Yes, eight years of preparation is sufficient, and a few days ago a letter came from Romania that the invincible Ottoman army had suffered a defeat in the port of Constanta, and that the morale had been greatly reduced, and now was a good opportunity to attack them. When she said this, Christine changed her previous kind demeanor, and her eyes continued to swell with vengeful anger.

Hearing this, Zheng Fei had a score in his heart.

Their target turned out to be the strongest Ottoman Empire of this era, and this behavior of not picking up soft persimmons is very reasonable.

Because there was a deep hatred between Christine and the Ottoman Empire, his parents died there, and he did not know that his father Urban was still alive.

"Well, great!" the king clapped his hands excitedly and gave him a thumbs up: "It's finally about to begin, and your great ships and cannons are about to come in handy!"

Christine shrugged and didn't reply.

At this time, the king caught a glimpse of the cowhide bag he was carrying in his arms, and couldn't help frowning: "You want to go?"

"Yes. ”

"But the party isn't over yet. ”

"I'm going to a place with my old friend, I haven't seen each other in a long time and want to talk. Christine put her hand on Zheng Fei's shoulders and behaved calmly.

The king glanced at Zheng Fei, and quickly moved his gaze back, full of suspicion but inconvenient to say anything, and nodded: "Okay, I'll transfer the royal guard to protect you." ”

"No, just let the Gomead brothers follow me. "Christine doesn't want too many people to follow, too many people.

The Gomead brothers are his cronies, the best of the Royal Guard, each with their own unique skills.

Christine felt that two people were enough, and he had the impression that Zheng Fei was just a navigator and would not have much power.

After a moment's hesitation, an imperceptible hint flashed in the king's eyes.

"Okay, when are you going back to the palace?"

"It should be tomorrow, don't worry, many people in Copenhagen know me, and you're afraid that I'll lose it?" Christine smiled.

The king raised his eyebrows, said no more, turned sideways to make a way, and walked side by side with Christine until he reached the gate, and waved goodbye.

There were many carriages gathered at the door, all waiting here for the generals to come out, and pulling the generals and the beautiful girls in their arms to the residence, earning several times more money than usual.

On such a cold day, coupled with the strong wind that had blown before, the coachmen were all shrunk in their cotton coats, and they were not wrapped tightly enough and tied a few ropes with ropes, so that the slightest cold wind could not leak in.

As soon as Zheng Fei and Christine came out of the castle, a quick coach came over: "Do you need to take a car?"

"Go all the way there. Zheng Fei got into the car.

"But there's a fishing village over there..."

"That's it. ”

The coachman nodded in bewilderment, threw up his whip and whipped off his horse, muttering, "It's strange that the first time I met two men coming out of this place, I went to a fishing village." ”

"What did you say?"

"Oh, nothing...... I'm saying that the other day someone bought all the fishing boats from a nearby fishing village, which is stupid. ”

Hearing the ridicule of himself, Zheng Fei grinned, his face full of black lines.

"But ah, what a kind man, in recent years, the fishermen who have gone out to sea to fish have lost their harvest and are almost unable to eat, so they just use the money from the sale of the boat to buy a piece of land. The coachman added.

This sounded comfortable, Zheng Fei smiled silently, he couldn't imagine that he had inadvertently helped so many fishermen in order to sneak into the castle.

The coachman drove the car very quickly, and in a short time, the quiet and peaceful fishing village was reached.

After getting out of the car, Zheng Fei generously grabbed a few silver coins and handed them to the coachman, and got out of the car with Christine.

The coachman held the silver coin in both hands, and the pestle was stunned in place for a long time.

"It's really rich... Like the fool who bought a fishing boat. He sighed heartily and gestured to the backs of the two of them in thanks.

Since the boat was sold, people from the fishing village have moved to the countryside one after another, and the dismal fishing industry is not working, so they have to cultivate the land.

So much so that this fishing village is so silent that only the sound of the wind and the waves remains.

There were several boats parked on the shore, and there were several people on each boat, all of whom were Zheng Fei's sailors, and when they saw Zheng Fei suddenly appear, the sailors immediately jumped off the deck.

"Hey, Captain, why did you come from here, shouldn't you be from the sea?"

Zheng Fei made an inviting gesture and invited Christine to board the ship, as well as the guards Brother Gomead.

"I'm going to gather with everyone. He said to the sailors.

The sailor took the order, set sail and anchored, and turned around and headed for the sea behind the sea cliffs.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Christine looked out into the distance.

"You're a navigator. ”

"Of course. ”

"But I don't think you're like the average navigator, what kind of trade do you do?"

"You'll know when you get there. Zheng Fei sold a pass, and looked ahead with a light smile. (To be continued.) )
