"Well, I'm fine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zheng Fei was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, how can you come to me. Howard smiled self-deprecatingly, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows.

Since he was dismissed from his post as a general by the king, he deeply felt the coldness of human affection, the supremacy of interests, and the so-called friends in the past have left him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Howard, but I have just arrived in London today, and I have heard that you are the most famous person in the area, so I decided to pay you a visit and make friends with you. Zheng Fei said in a standard London accent, sincerely.

His English pronunciation is low and good, which earns him a lot of favorability.

"Really?" Howard raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Of course. Zheng Fei smiled and nodded, and the gentlemanly style of a well-bred gentleman earned him favor again, which made Howard's eyes light up with some surprise.

"Okay, then please open the bottle, I remember that I haven't drunk Italian wine in a long time, and I really miss the refreshing taste. ”

Howard put down the book, moved his right leg off his left leg as well, and sat up straight in respect.

Zheng Fei was about to get the wine glass, but was preempted by Santiago.

"Let me come, sir. Santiago smiled respectfully and winked slyly at Zheng Fei.

He is earning face for Zheng Fei, and since he has become self-motivated, he seems to be really different from before, and he has changed a lot.

"Thank you. Zheng Fei smiled lightly, then lowered his voice and pretended to be talking, and whispered: "This performance is great, there will be a reward for going back." ”

Zheng Fei came to Duke Howard and sat down, took the wine handed by Santiago, and clinked glasses.

"Mr. Howard, what are you reading?" he glanced at the letters on the cover, not having heard it.

This era did not have figures like Shakespeare and Francis Bacon, and there was a lack of great works.

"Oh~ Tuxter's travels, written by an English adventurer based on experience, the things recorded in it are particularly interesting, you know, he once caught seals in the northern glaciers, haha. ”

Howard's laughter is hearty, and he loves to read these adventures, which gives him a taste of life. His dream is to assemble a fleet of ships to sail from untouched seas and discover many unknown secrets.

It's a pity that he loves adventure, but he loves his wife and children even more, and he can't leave them alone at home, let alone run with them to the unpredictable sea, maybe he can't get lost at sea and can't come back.

"Well, that's really interesting~ Actually, I'm also an adventurer. Zheng Fei took a sip of wine and smiled.

Maybe many years later, he will also write a book about his adventures, ha, surely more than anyone's story.

"Really?" Howard's eyes lit up, "Tell me, where have you been before?"

Zheng Feinu mouthed and raised his head to make a memory.

"An island in the Atlantic, I call them the Azores, with active volcanoes, geothermal and hot springs... By the way, we stuffed pork, beef and mutton into iron buckets and buried them in the ground, and after two hours they dug them out and ate them, and the stewed meat tasted very fragrant. ”

"Ha, that sounds great!" Howard leaned his neck to drink half a glass of wine, then stared at Zheng Fei quietly, waiting for the other party to continue.

Zheng Fei read the intention from his eyes, thought for a moment, and raised his eyebrows: "In this way, I can't tell it alone, how about we exchange stories with each other?"

"Okay, I'm more than happy to share stories, I like you as a friend, what would you like to hear?"

Silence, for a few seconds.

"The secrets of the Tower of London. Zheng Fei hooked the corners of his mouth.

He hoped to see something strange on Howard's face, but the other man only furrowed his brow in confusion.

"The Tower of London? It's just a building, what's the secret?"

"Uh, haven't you ever felt its mystery?" Zheng Fei lowered his wine glass and furrowed his brows.

On the street just now, he really felt that strong calling power, which went straight to his heart, and he can't forget it until now.

Perhaps, not everyone will be called, and they will be given a mission.

"There's no mystery. Howard smiled and shook his head, "I've lived here since I was born, and I see it every day, and I've been there several times." ”

Zheng Fei's brows slackened a little, and he felt that it was also, how could there be any mystery in the things that could be seen every day.

"Well, tell me about your experience, I heard that you were once a brave general. ”

"Thanks for the compliment. Howard smiled knowingly, leaned back on the couch, and turned his head to stare out the window, the branches swaying in the wind, and several birds soaring.

Recalling the past, he said cheerfully: "It was many years ago, I fought in Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and even crossed the sea with the fleet to fight in France. Many people say that I am a great general, but in fact I am just a soldier, and there is a soldier's hope in my heart, that is, one day the world will be peaceful, and there will be no more wars. ”

"After a great deal of fighting, and the fighting subsided, I returned to London like the other generals, and I made a good friend, a senior admiral in the Royal Navy, and a very good man. Afterward... You know that our king, a vigilant and narrow-minded man, jealous of my prestige in the hearts of the people, ordered me to be dismissed from office, and my poor friend was sent to prison by him. ”

At this point he paused, as if remembering something: "Oh yes, he was locked up in the Tower of London, which was used as a prison for upper-class criminals. Alas, years have passed, and the king never allowed anyone to visit him..."

"What did you just say?" Zheng Fei interrupted him because of the message he had just heard.

"The king never allowed people to visit..."

"No, I'm referring to the previous sentence. ”

"He was locked up in the Tower of London. ”

Yes, here it is. Zheng Fei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

A senior admiral of the Royal Navy, imprisoned in the Tower of London.

If you want to maximize the power of giant battleships and shipborne cannons, a medieval admiral is exactly what he needs, and it is definitely impossible to convince a general who has not been stripped of his position.

This general, who was imprisoned by a large deposit, not only lost his status but also lost his freedom, which is a good opportunity.

It looks like I'm going to jail again, and this is the third time, the first time in Lisbon and the second time in the town of Atlanta to rescue the arms dealer.

Zheng Fei refilled himself with a glass of wine, took a sip from his lips, and smiled slyly.

"What's wrong with you, sir?" said Howard, puzzled.

"Oh nothing, you go on. (To be continued.) )
