Chapter 402: The Barrier in the Sea

There were not many soldiers who liked to wander around the berthing area at night, and almost all of them were concentrated at the foot of the Christian. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's a huge ship in the truest sense of the word, and it's better to call it a fortress than a giant ship.

It has three decks, nearly 70 meters in length, with a total of more than 100 gun emplacements, and is expected to carry a crew of 800, and the ship's hold reserves are enough to replenish for six months at a time.

This huge ship, oh no, this fortress, in appearance and scale, resembles the famous British Navy ship of the 18th century, the Royal Navy's first-class sail-class battleship - Victory.

When he witnessed such a ship, Zheng Fei's heart couldn't help but surge with thousands of emotions, after coming to this era, this was the first time he was so close to the romance of the sail era.

Such a ship is called a sail battleship!

He pounded his chest excitedly, clenched his fists and stared at the approaching Christian, his heart surging.

I'm going to get you!" he swore to himself.

The recruits who came to watch around were all expressing their shock at the Christian, and they wanted to get on the boat to have a look, but were stopped by the guards.

No one is allowed to board the Christian without the permission of the king or the general, otherwise they will be punished as espionage!

Zheng Fei slowly took a few steps forward, his snort was rapid with excitement, and he raised his hand and tapped on its hull.

Love the house and Wu, even the tuk tuk sound is so pleasant.

He smiled happily and looked around, there were at least a hundred guards around, and without any preparation, it would be a fantasy to take the ship away.

What's more, the Danish Navy also blocked the nearby seas.

He lingered beside the Christian's side for a few minutes, and the image of a giant ship sailing across the ocean kept coming to his mind.

"Let's go. He smiled and took a deep breath.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so leave the naval harbor first, and as for how to get the ship, you need to plan slowly.

The craftsman, pretending to be drunk, put his arm on the shoulders of the two of them, staggered out of the berth and walked down the silent road, until he reached the residential area, where he stopped, went into a hut, and took out the wages he had earned all these years.

After that, they walked all the way to the site where the timber was stacked.

Santiago sat on a wood and drank, chewing beef jerky in his mouth.

"Wow, you're finally back!" he jumped off the pile of wood and greeted him.

"Who is this?" he said, glancing at the craftsman's unfamiliar face.

"Someone who is going to go out with us. ”

Hearing his words, the lumberjack leader dropped the wood in his hand without thinking about it and hurriedly ran over.

"What are you talking about, this man is going out with us?!" the leader's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Yes. ”

The leader stared at the craftsman and snorted softly, "To hell boy, I will never take you out!"

"He just helped me. Zheng Fei said, "I can give you another sum of money after I go out, how about it?"

"It's not about the money. The leader shook his head: "You don't know, the guards at the gate will count the number of people coming in and out, just to prevent anyone from getting out, if we are discovered, none of us will survive! ”

The atmosphere froze, and no one wanted to stay in this place.

In this way, everyone was silent for a while, Zheng Fei rubbed his eyebrows, and considered whether there was any other solution.

The craftsman craned his neck uneasily, his eyes filled with deep trepidation and nervousness, and he feared that his newfound hope would be lost.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"I'll stay. Brad said indifferently.

"No, it's dangerous for you to stay here. ”

"Don't worry, camouflage is my forte, and I'll be fine. ”

After a moment of silence, Zheng Fei still shook his head.

"Because it's your forte, I need you to be out there and not stay here. ”

If you want to get the Christian, you have to sneak into a noble manor or even a royal palace, and you will definitely need a master like Brad.

Probably thinking that what Zheng Fei said made sense, Brad touched his chin and stopped talking.

The atmosphere froze again for a long time.

"Do you have to take this guy out?" said the lumberjack in disgust.

"I promised him. Zheng Fei glanced at the restless craftsman.

The leader frowned, looked at the craftsman, and asked, "Boy, what are you out for?"

The craftsman gritted his teeth and confessed: "I haven't seen my son for eight years to see him, and he was only three years old when I left. ”

"Okay, I'll help you, but you'll have to pay a price. The leader seemed to be moved by his most simple reason, as did the other lumberjacks.

After thinking about it, the craftsman ripped open his clothes, and there were many small cloth bags hanging from his trouser pockets.

"My salary for eight years is a total of four hundred gold coins, how much do you want?"

The leader waved his hand: "No, I know I am greedy, but I will never be greedy for the money of the poor, this money is earned by you in prison for eight years, I will not ask for a penny." ”

"Then the price you said ......"

"By the price I mean......" After a pause, the leader smiled slyly, "You have to die." ”

......

In front of the Naval Port gate.

The convoy of lumberjacks went out was resolutely stopped by the guards.

Get out of the car and count the number of people! The guards savagely flicked their whips and whipped them on the flatbed.

The lumberjacks jumped out of the car, and the leader ran to the guards with his hands rubbed together, stamping his feet in the cold, with a habitual smirk on his lips.

"Sir, it's really hard to stand guard in such a cold weather. ”

"No way, the instructions from above. The guard replied impatiently, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a person lying on the car, and immediately his face changed and shouted: "I said get out of the car! Get out of the car! I even dare to sleep!"

As he spoke, he walked over and was about to whip him.

The leader tugged at the hem of his shirt and whispered, "Sir, he's not asleep, he's dead." ”

"Dead?" the guard frowned and took two steps back.

"Yes, he was a craftsman, he had just died of exhaustion half an hour ago, and the prefect of the shipyard told me to drag him out and bury him. ”

"It's not going to be dead, is it?" the guard was still suspicious, staring at the craftsman's pale face.

"How is it possible, you see that he is only wearing a single coat, such a cold day......"

"That's not necessarily, those people did anything to escape. ”

The guard gritted his teeth and walked over, staring at the craftsman for a moment of hesitation, then suddenly raised his whip and pulled it off guard.

Smack!

The craftsman didn't move.

This was followed by the second whip, the third whip......

After a dozen lashes, he stopped panting.

"Sir, the whipping of the dead is a curse...... "The leader said in fear.

"Get out, get out!" the guard waved impatiently, probably in fear.

The corners of the lumberjacks' mouths hung on a subtle smile.

The convoy left the heavily guarded naval port safely. (To be continued.) )
