Chapter 267: Old Friend

Cannons, howitzers, siege artillery...... This is the value that Urban can create, artillery symbolizes the strongest force of this era, and force is what Zheng Fei lacks the most at present, more important than wealth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

He had to find a way to get his hands on Urban, but he knew that the Ottoman Empire would protect the only talent who had made a great contribution to it, and would not allow outsiders to approach him.

Thinking of this, he looked at the tavern owner with a puzzled face, the owner had a meat skewer in his mouth, and he held it coldly in his mouth without biting, wondering why he suddenly became weird.

"Where does Urban usually hang out?" he asked earnestly.

The boss put down the meat skewers and counted them by impression.

"Barracks, cannon foundries, seaside...... Then there is the house of Mrs. Gusin Zebilhi, a pretty widow who is still charming, and the whole of Istanbul knows that Lord Urban is greedy for her beauty, and every time she comes out of her house, she is emaciated. ā€

The boss squeezed his eyebrows and smiled obscenely.

But two seconds later, he added.

"But if you want to get close to him, it's impossible, even in the widow's house, there are hundreds of troops guarding there, and I've heard that the soldiers like to stick to the wall and listen to the sounds, you know. ā€

So, what should I do? Zheng Fei frowned.

A few hundred people are enough to enclose a house, and even a stealth master like Brad has no chance to sneak in.

Zheng Fei knew this very well, because when he looked at Brad, Brad shook his head helplessly.

With his own little armament, let alone against the Istanbul defenders, it is estimated that he was crippled by other people's artillery before he even entered the city.

Since the Ottomans captured Constantinople, the leaders have fully identified the city's defenses and filled them in when rebuilding the city's defenses.

At this time, Istanbul has become a multi-faceted defensive stronghold, with all kinds of troops scattered in all corners of the city and outside the city.

If people in the city want to go out, and people outside the city want to come in, they have to be strictly checked.

Could it be that he could only let Urban go? Zheng Fei rubbed his eyebrows, his face full of sadness.

Damn, why did you let me meet Urban?

"I say, what do you want to do with Master Urban?" asked the tavernkeeper tentatively, vaguely feeling that his purpose was not pure, and that something might happen to him.

"Who wouldn't want to know a big man like him. ā€

Of course, this was not said by Zheng Fei, but Santiago, as long as you have a little knowledge in this era, it is impossible not to have heard of the fall of Constantinople, and the monster cannon and its maker Urban have also become famous.

Previously, there were people in the streets who were hostile to Urban, because they were all natives of Constantinople, who had served the Byzantine Empire and later defected to the Ottoman side and made huge cannons to capture Constantinople, and many of them died under the flying cannonballs.

In that case, I can tell you good news. The boss smiled.

"It's a coincidence that tomorrow night the Duke of Istanbul will hold a large banquet for the officers returning from the victorious front, which will be attended by all the heads and faces of Istanbul, including Lord Urban. ā€

Zheng Fei immediately came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "How can I get an invitation to the banquet?"

"Invitations are easy to get, some nobles and rich people don't like to deal with dukes, and are happy to sell invitations to others, but ......"

"But what?" Zheng Fei frowned.

"But you can't wear it, because navigators are not a decent profession in Istanbul, and the dukes in particular despise them. ā€

"So what should I wear?"

The boss smiled slyly and raised his beard.

"Don't worry, I'll help you prepare a few sets of military uniforms, and they are of a high rank. ā€

Zheng Fei didn't understand this.

After a moment's hesitation, he couldn't help but be vigilant.

What is the purpose of a tavern owner who has only known each other for half an hour, and there is absolutely no reason to help him like this?

It looks like the boss is fifty years old, and he has long passed the age of helping others.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if the boss doesn't want to get anything, it can only mean that it's a trap.

"What do you want?" Zheng Fei asked directly.

"I don't want anything. The boss shook his head and smiled.

Silence, the atmosphere became more and more serious, and the two were at a stalemate.

Until, Brad coughed lightly and said a word.

"Alright Saihan, stop playing tricks on my captain. ā€

Zheng Fei and Santiago were stunned at the same time, their eyes on the boss's face carefully for a while, and then moved to Brad, waiting for him to explain.

Brad raised his eyebrows, smiled and ate the kebab, and talked eloquently.

"His name is Saihan, and he is an old friend of mine for many years. Eight years ago, I wandered to the reconstruction of Istanbul, which had just been taken down, and the law and order was so chaotic that I saved the Sehan family from the swords of horse bandits. ā€

Brad spread his hands, spoke quite casually, and smiled at the boss.

Zheng Fei looked at him mysteriously, obviously feeling a little incredulous for what he said.

"I thought you were only going to kill. ā€

Brad guessed that he would say that, thought about it seriously, took a serious deep breath, and looked him in the eye.

"You know what, no matter what kind of suffering a person suffers, his nature will never change? ā€

The noisy tavern seems to be much quieter at this time, this seemingly insipid sentence is the most sincere cry in the heart of a killer.

Zheng Fei didn't say more, raised his glass, and there was more respect in his dark eyes.

......

The next day, in the evening.

The banquet was held in Istanbul's largest citadel, which can accommodate thousands of people.

As twilight approached, a canopy carriage stopped in front of the castle, and several heroic naval officers jumped out of the carriage, shook off their clothes, and stood in the cool breeze to watch the distinguished guests who had come to the banquet.

"Santiago, how do you feel?"

Zheng Fei put his hand in his pocket, borrowed the reflection of the opposite glass, looked at himself in the mirror, and expressed his satisfaction with this outfit.

"The clothes are so tight...... Santiago was a little out of breath and had to tear the buttons open.

"Haha, it's you who are too strong. ā€

Zheng Fei, who was dressed in a military uniform, was in high spirits and said with a smile: "Guys, after you go in, talk less and eat more, are you ready to act according to my eyes?"

"Ready!"

"Line up and follow me, let's go!"

Smoothly entering the castle hall, more dazzling than the golden crystal lamps, are charming and enchanting Turkish beauties, they stroke their long hair and talk softly, and their temperament is graceful, attracting Santiago's eyes for a moment.

"Spirit, don't let people see flaws like they haven't seen a woman. Zheng Fei glared at him. (To be continued.) )
