Chapter 263: Aruba
After dinner, the governor of Aruba contentedly instructed his servants to clean up the dishes, and he himself gracefully took the tea caddy from the cupboard and prepared to make himself an elegant drink. As an aristocratic official of the British Empire, he disdained to be like the rough people below, and drank a rum bottle until he was unconscious.
"Governor Grigos. The herald stood at the door of the room, smiling. The Governor's greatest requirement for his men is to be graceful at all times and not to panic. "Ah, dear Boris, is there anything that is the matter?" said the Governor-General, mildly.
"It has been reported that our battleship Duncan has been attacked by pirates twenty nautical miles away, and is currently seriously damaged, with heavy casualties among our soldiers. Boris said without hurry. "What? Hot!" The governor was not calm when he heard the news, and with a shake of his hand, the hot water for making tea was poured on his thigh, and he grinned in pain.
"My God, does it have anything to do with me?" said the Governor, wiping tears from his eyes, and asked eagerly, saying in his heart that he must not be involved in this trouble. "Well, not long ago, a dhow with a black flag docked in our harbor," Boris said elegantly, holding back a smile, "and it has been verified by the subordinates, and it is not a registered privateer. ”
"Oh my God—" The Governor was a little dumbfounded, he really didn't want to have anything to do with the murderous pirates who didn't blink. "But it's okay, there are only six of them. Boris felt that he had to give the governor some good news, "and the ships are damaged, and we have hundreds of good fellows, and we are sure that we will take them." ”
"They only have six men to defeat our brigs?" the Governor was able to climb to his current position, and he still had a little brain, "They must still have comrades in the open sea! We may not be able to deal with this, Boris, the flying pigeon has sent a message, please come and help the Royal Navy as soon as possible!"
"What are we going to eat at night?" asked Liu Weixian, we had been floating on the sea for a day, without eating or drinking. The food I stored in the dark space was eaten by four pigs during the Hunger Games, and I didn't replenish it afterwards, so I'm a little embarrassed now. "Let's get down to business first," I continued, "Lao Liu, Xiyue, you go find a reliable shipwright and ask him to replenish the boat for us." With the physical fitness of the trialist, there is no big problem if he does not eat or drink for a day.
After the two of them left, I continued: "Sun Jie, Fei Fei, please go and get some food supplies, otherwise those two will shout again when they come back." "But we don't have the money. Gong Feifei scratched his head and said. "Money is something outside the body," Sun Jie hurriedly said before I could speak, "Do you see our flags? ”
After sending the others away, Ke Hui said, "Crooked, then what are the two of us doing?" The corners of my mouth rose, "Do.. What I love to do... Eh, don't fight, don't fight, take you to a good place. ”
At the beginning of the night, although there are no street lamps with electricity, the bright moonlight can still illuminate the road under our feet. As the so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away, there is naturally no curfew on this small island far from the empire, and the vendors who set up stalls, the drunks who curse the streets, and the wandering children make the not wide roads very crowded.
Our clothes were replaced by the space when we entered the trial, and it was not unobtrusive to walk in the crowd at this time. Depending on how lively the night was, I quickly found the destination of the trip.
I carefully pushed open the trigger, for it was already crumbling, and I was afraid that if I used a little more force, I would have to pay an inexplicable amount of compensation. The tavern was a mess of all sorts of inexplicable smells, smoke, alcohol, sweat, cheap grease, and even a stench of excrement.
But the marvelous smell did not dampen the bustle of the tavern, and groups of sailors laughed and ate and drank, and a few girls shuttled among them, taking a few coins from their chests.
"Wow, pretty girl!" "Come and have a drink, beautiful young lady!" My entry did not attract their attention, but Kehui aroused their enthusiasm. But after all, this is the territory of the Emperor, and there is still order to be there, and most of these sailors are doing business and don't dare to be too presumptuous. After Kehui came in, they were excited for a while, but no one dared to come up and make a move, and after a while, they returned to their previous topic. Cow Bar Literature Network
"Indeed, a good place. Ke Hui laughed, her vanity was greatly satisfied. I took her all the way to the bar, pulled a drunken man sleeping at the bar out of his chair, and shouted to the bartender, "Serve every creature with a handle to a glass of rum! A gift from the Pirate Empress!"
I accentuated the word "pirate" and slammed my sword on the bar as if to show off. The bartender has been working here for most of his life, and he is already a human spirit, so he naturally read the meaning of my threat, and without saying much, he began to pour the wine directly according to my request.
"Praise the Pirate Empress!" "Long live the Empress!" "What? Victoria is here, where is it?" The scene was once again heated to a climax, and even a little out of control for a while.
"Okay, you idiots, quiet me down!" I yelled, snatching the wooden wine glass from the hand of a rough man next to me and taking a large gulp of the cloudy liquid into my mouth. Well, this rum is mixed with a lot of water, which is quite thirst-quenching.
I handed the glass to Ke Hui next to me, and yelled at the still noisy crowd: "The Pirate Empress needs experienced sailors now! Stop working for the capitalists, there is no hope! Come and become our brother, gold and jewels are floating on the sea, waiting for us to harvest!"
Ke Hui cooperated and drank all the wine in the cup, grinning, a hint of blush appeared on his fair face. "Fuck, fuck!" "Such a beautiful captain would be willing to die for her, my old Bill!" "Bernard's bitch kicked me off the ship, and it just so happened that my old bones were fucked by pirates!"
Whether it's recruiting sailors or pirates in taverns, there is still a certain basis. Most of the unemployed sailors would drown their sorrows with wine and gather in the taverns. And the wine is so strong that when the brains of these fools are numbed by alcohol, they will take the bait if they draw a big cake for them, and when they wake up the next day, they have already boarded the thief ship, surrounded by the ocean, and they can't get down.
Just when I thought it was done, the drunkard I had pulled to the ground stood up and looked drunk. His body swayed back and forth uncontrollably, "Who would dare to throw Captain Jack Sparrow to the ground?" the drunken yelled.
The people in the hall didn't know the name of the captain of the Black Pearl, and they were still enthusiastically signing up to join the pirate camp, but I knew the name of Captain Jack. "Damn!" I was so shocked that I caught the captain of a legendary pirate ship in a random tavern.
Captain Jack didn't look at me and Kehui, but turned around and shouted to the crowd, "All right, gentlemen, does anyone think of the great Captain Jack Sparrow's Black Pearl raiding the house?"
The drunkards were confused, could this be Nassau (the base camp of the pirates)? Why did two pirate captains jump out of the way to recruit people today? At the same time, with a snap, the tavern's dilapidated door finally fell to the ground, and the sea breeze that blew in seemed to make all the drunkards less drunk.
"Get on the ground!" a dozen redcoats blocked the door of the tavern, flintlock pistols in their hands aimed at every drunken inside. Now the situation has reversed, just now the drunkards don't know Captain Jack but I do, now I'm not afraid of the Redcoat Army but the drunkards are afraid, and suddenly the trees fell and scattered, one by one, completely forgetting their arrogant words five minutes ago.
The tavern is full of leaks and has numerous holes except for the main entrance. Usually it can let drunkards get rid of their wives' pursuits, but now it has become a way for them to get out of the red army. The soldiers didn't expect these drunkards to have the courage to escape, and they didn't react for a while, and after a while, only me, Kehui, Jack, and the bartender and the British army looked at each other.
