Chapter 242: The Prince's Despair
The brimmed hat slipped quietly, and at the same time, the duke's pupils also dilated, and his face was extremely distorted, as if he had seen Satan the Devil. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"My ......" He didn't even say the word God, his throat choked, and he stared at Hans's face in a daze.
Fear pervades this dark hut.
The duke's lean cheeks, which were almost fleshless, trembled slightly, shook his head again and again, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva in disbelief.
Is this a dream, or is it a hallucination?
Zheng Fei let go of the hand that was holding his neck, allowing him to gasp and calm the panic in his heart.
"Duke Abraham, do you have anything to say?"
As soon as Zheng Fei let go, the knife was stuck on the table.
The duke hung his head in silence, and did not speak for a long time, still unable to figure it out, and it was extremely messy.
There was a clock in the room, and time ticked by, and after a while, he finally floated out a sentence.
"Please spare me, I can give you a lot. ”
This is what he decided, after pondering in endless fear.
The person in front of him is simply carved out of the same mold as himself, and he can be completely replaced silently, in that case, he will disappear from this world forever.
He no longer had any reason to negotiate with Zheng Fei.
Zheng Fei really didn't expect that the duke would have such an attitude, and he thought that the duke would be furious.
It seems that under the duke's arrogant appearance, there is a mixture of fear and weakness, which is probably a common problem of politicians.
In this case, things are much more harmonious.
Zheng Fei smiled and sat down.
"Make a friend. He said lightly, and pulled out the dagger on the table.
With the prestige of Duke Abraham in Italy, it will certainly be of great help to his future career.
The duke was stunned, looked at Hans with apprehension, and then lowered his head.
"Are you kidding?"
"Of course not, I'm telling you very seriously. ”
"You're going to make friends with me even if you're fooled, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" I don't believe you're so stupid. ”
Zheng Fei pouted, and the dagger was sheathed.
"I did trick you this time, because I urgently need this money to do things, but we will have many opportunities to work together in the future. ”
"Do you think I'll still work with you?" sneered, self-deprecatingly.
"You will, our cooperation will be beneficial to you, such as this time, what have you lost?"
Yes, what have I lost?" The Duke pondered carefully, and then he felt that his previous idea of getting something for nothing was too ridiculous, and his mind was dizzy in the face of interests.
"But why should I cooperate with you?" he took a deep breath, and with some resentment, he looked at Zheng Fei.
"Because, knowing the route to the East, I can earn endless riches. ”
In the era of sailing, knowing the complete version of the world map was Zheng Fei's greatest advantage, which was enough to help him rise above the top of the era.
"Oh, sure enough. The Duke smiled, then lowered his face and asked, "But why should I believe that you will not play me again? ”
"So I'll give you 100,000 silver coins as your reward for helping me this time, 100,000 is not too little, right?"
Indeed, just providing a venue can get 100,000.
At this point in the conversation, the panic in the duke's heart had dissipated for the most part, and he slowly raised his pipe and took a puff of his cigarette, calming down.
"I don't understand, why do you have to make friends with me and give me so many benefits for nothing, when you can let this person replace me?"
"He can replace your appearance, but he can't replace the way you think and do things. ”
Zheng Fei's original plan was to let Hans replace the duke to suppress the mayor after the operation, and not let the mayor lead the troops to pursue, and did not intend to let Hans remain the duke, in that case, sooner or later it would be exposed.
The duke curled the corners of his mouth proudly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Deal." ”
"It was a pleasure to work with. ”
Zheng Fei shook hands with him and said, "I have to do another thing, just in case, you have to be tied up and gagged, because I still don't believe you yet." ”
“...... So what if I starve to death?"
"Before leaving, I will leave you 100,000 silver coins, and there is a note in the box to mark where you are, and I will return to Italy in the future and ask you for cooperation." ”
"Is it still the same as today?"
"Maybe, maybe not. ”
After speaking, Zheng Fei stopped being verbose, motioned for Hans to tie him up, and then went out to meet Ares, who had just gone upstairs, walked to the door of the prince's room, and pushed the door in.
The prince was crouching on the ground, gazing at the huge mammoth tusks by the faint light of the oil lamp, and his eyes were filled with indescribable joy.
The ivory is even more brown and yellow under the illumination of the light, ancient and mysterious.
When he looked up and saw Zheng Fei, his joy suddenly froze.
Immediately, he cast a stunned look at Ares, as if he had a premonition of something.
"Your conditions...... Have you figured it out?" he asked, his voice trembling.
Ares bowed his head and said nothing.
Zheng Fei was afraid that he would destroy the mammoth ivory in a fit of rage, so he motioned for the sailors to step forward and drag him away and hold him away.
"Without further ado, where is the token of the descendants of Sparta?"
The prince glared at Ares, his eyes blazing, and yelled, "You betrayed me!"
"No, he didn't betray you, he just lied to you, from beginning to end, he lied to you. Zheng Fei said ruthlessly.
"Let me ask again, where is the token?"
For a short time, the prince couldn't accept this fact, and he couldn't understand what was going on, but he heard Zheng Fei's question very clearly.
He gritted his teeth, looked up angrily, and said with a cruel smile: "You can find it yourself." ”
Only a fool would carry such an important thing with him, so Zheng Fei did not order his subordinates to search him.
Torture the captives, Zheng Fei is not the first time to do it.
He grabbed the prince by the hair and pulled his head violently.
"To live or to die, you choose. ”
"Hmph, you will never dare to kill me, if you go out and I don't, my Blade Knights escort will immediately surround you, it is the most elite army in Romania!"
The Duke was able to mobilize the Venetian army, the Brute Bull Army, and his own convoy.
However, the Blade Knights Guard is a close confidant of the prince and only obeys the prince's command.
"Really?"
Zheng Fei smiled, whistled, and asked the sailors to open the curtains to explore the situation outside.
"Captain, all the goods have changed hands, the money has been loaded and shipped away, there are still many merchants talking in the manor, and the guards are blocking the gate of the castle. "The sailor reports.
The prince was just about to scream, but he was slapped hard.
Zheng Fei had to intimidate the little guy and make him desperate, and then gave in.
He waved his hand and asked the prince to be escorted to the window, and when the window was opened, the prince did not hesitate for a moment, but let go of his voice and exclaimed.
"Help!" (To be continued.) )
