"You are my father-in-law, instigating your son-in-law to, aren't you afraid that Diane will find out and play with you?" Hong Tao did not resist at all in his heart, but because of the education he received since childhood, the more he was happy, the more he had to excuse himself, and the reason must be particularly legitimate.

"If you are really my son-in-law, you should bring Diane back, not Jiang. Ruyt's wife is also present, this is a competition between the two of you, it has nothing to do with the woman, and it has nothing to do with the family. ”

The cigar in Thomas's mouth was also replaced by a hand-rolled cigarette, and his right hand was wrapped around a tall young brunette woman. As for where Dan was, Hong Tao didn't see it for a long time, and he couldn't even find Jiang Zhuyi.

"There's no black one, I like the contrast. "The old father-in-law is so open-minded, Hong Tao doesn't pretend. However, he has little interest in this kind of overly European Yanmar, and like their appearance, they are a bit bluffing, but they are not delicate and too stiff.

"You have to keep in mind that this is Cape Town, the only city in South Africa that is run by a white man. I'm not racist, but no black skin is allowed in this kind of party, except for the maids. ”

Thomas was very disgusted by Hong Tao's special taste, so he pouted and motioned to Hong Tao to see for himself, although the guests in the courtyard were not all white, and there were mixed-race children, but there was really no black and white mix.

"If the two of them found out, would they ask me for their lives? I don't want to duel with anyone else every day. Hong Tao doesn't want to challenge the traditions of these people, but he doesn't want to challenge the endurance of other men. What if two more gentlemen come tomorrow and want to duel with themselves? These two women don't look too young, maybe they're married.

"Hey, hey, hey...... I forgot to tell you that they are the highest callers in Cape Town, and even if you see you on the street tomorrow, you won't have any trouble. Don't worry, come on, for the honor of the Kruger family!"

Hearing Hong Tao's question, Thomas laughed extremely treacherously, leaned into Hong Tao's ear and said a word, patted his son-in-law on the shoulder, and announced the opening of this sacred hand-to-hand combat.

Alcohol, hand-rolled cigarettes, beauty sex. Regardless of whether it is true or not, anyway, Hong Tao is broken again under the pressure of the three mountains. I lost my memory just after scoring two goals, and the last fragment that stayed in my head was that the one-meter-seventy-five tall Yanma was riding on him, moving rhythmically and vigorously with the applause next to him, and from time to time he stuffed the wine bottle in his hand into his mouth and poured it violently.

As for the battle situation of Ruit on the other side of the pool, Hong Tao basically didn't have time to watch, but listening to the intensity of the applause, he should have won.

Unfortunately, the next night God was in power, not only windy but also rainy. In the evening, someone came to inform Thomas that the duel was tonight. At this time, Hong Tao had just woken up from a hangover, and was holding his head and flushing it with cold water in the bathroom.

Hearing the news that the duel was about to begin, Hong Tao was not worried at all. It's better to be unbearable than Ruyt, but he is nearly twenty years younger than him, and he has only a lot more experience on the sea than him, and he can win even if he is not in good shape.

But when Hong Tao saw the two sailboats used for the race on the dock, he began to wonder a little about the reason behind the duel, and he couldn't figure out how to let them play tricks!

There was nothing wrong with sailboats, but not modern sailboats, but the kind of eighteen-foot-long dhows made of wooden antique sailboats, and they were so thoroughly imitated that even the sails were made of primitive handmade canvas.

This thing is made of cotton, once it gets wet, it will become dead, and without the assistance of modern pulley systems, it will be very, very difficult to operate alone.

If you don't have many years of practical experience, even if you call the main sailors of the round the world race, you still have to catch blind, and it is good to be able to start smoothly, and it is delusional to want to run at speed.

Ruyter must have had a study of this ancient sailing ship, because the ship was his, and it also had the number of Ruyt III on it. In this way, he can offset most of his strengths, such as age and stamina, and it is not too much to say that he is invincible.

The most infuriating thing is that so many people were stunned that none of them told them these situations in advance, including their father-in-law. No wonder Ruyter is still fighting with himself at the party at such an age, and he is not worried about the outcome of the duel at all, he is already 100% sure that he can win himself.

But this time it's really better to be counted as a person, who would have thought that Hong Tao would be mixed up in the Great Song Dynasty. In that life, what he was best at was not naval guns, rifled guns, and basic chemicals, which were all developed by the Song people after being inspired.

The only complete invention that can be counted on Hong Tao's head is the ancient sailing ship, from the shape of the boat to the texture and shape of each piece of canvas, the pulley system and the way the zipline is installed, 100% from his head.

Not to mention this kind of modern antique sailing ship, it also uses a lot of modern technology, even if you really get a dhow from the eighteenth, seventeenth, sixteenth, or even fifteenth centuries, Hong Tao can drive it away, and the tonnage is several times larger.

So Ruyter shot himself in the foot this time. Hong Tao has been happy since he saw this sailboat, hangover and waist weakness are not a thing, even if he is missing an arm, he can still throw him away.

"This is the duel sailboat you prepared for me, Thomas, I really doubt now that you are Diane's biological father, where is there a father who always wants his son-in-law to be finished, and your family has a tradition of widowhood?"

Even though the victory was already in hand, Hong Tao still pretended to be in the dark, pointing to the small sailboat to ask Thomas for an explanation. This is a matter of principle, what kind of behavior is it to follow outsiders to pit one's own family? We must criticize, dig deep into the dirty roots, and go straight to the depths of our hearts!

"It's—it's a little bit more primitive, but the sailboats have been the same for hundreds of years, and nothing has changed. You still have an hour to get acquainted with familiarity, and Dan and Jiang and I will wait for you on the fishing boat first. Thomas's old face made Hong Tao purple, but he was still stiff-mouthed and refused to admit his mistake. But there's no way to justify it, and the best option is to dodge.

"Don't take it too seriously, lad. It's just a game, go crazy with them for a while, raise the white flag, and we'll make sure you come back safe and sound. Even if you lose, Ruyter will still help, and Claire told him before you came. ”

"It's just that these big boys have been idle for too long, and they always want to go back to the old days, and playing tricks on you can make them excited for a long time. At this time, it was obvious that the character was good or bad, even if Dan had only known Hong Tao for a few days, he didn't have any entanglements of interests, and he still couldn't help but get to the bottom of Hong Tao. I guess she also thinks that playing tricks on a guest like this is detrimental to her reputation and even more immoral.

"If I win Ruyter, will I be annoyed?" If these words had been said before last night, Hong Tao would definitely choose to feign illness and admit defeat. It's cost-effective to get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost, and it's nothing to lose face, and the face is not worth much most of the time.

But not now, they all knew what was going on last night, but they were still pretending to be so excited, deliberately making a fool of themselves. It's not a celebrity lady who is looking for, but his mother's ****. No matter how advanced it is, it is also a call, and this breath is really unbearable. Now my face is a very rare case, it has appreciated, or the price limit.

"Oh God, you men are all the same, and you don't want to throw in easily...... Come on, boy, this is not a game that someone can control, since it is a game, there are rules, and no one will deliberately discredit themselves. ”

"But I still have to advise you, the Ruyts have been navigators for generations, and their ancestors were admirals. The sea is his cradle, and no one here can win him with such a broken bathtub. You're young and you have a wife, you don't have to die for a game and that bullshit. ”

Dan seemed to have seen a lot of fierce seeds like Hong Tao, and he couldn't help shaking his head at Hong Tao's answer, and finally even Diane moved out, intending to cool down Hong Tao's boiling blood.
