An hour later, the battlefield was calm.

The soldiers of the Xuanfeng Battalion escorted the few prisoners back to the gunboat, Yang Qianhu knelt on one knee and reported the results to Liu Chengying, "My lord, the soldiers of the 200 Xuanfeng Battalion have returned safely!"

Liu Chengying nodded and asked calmly, "Are there any casualties?"

"No casualties!"

"How many captured?"

"37 thieves and soldiers were captured, more than 300 taels of gold, more than 1,500 taels of silver, and there was no counting of grain, grass, materials, armor and blades!"

"Okay! Half of the gold and silver artifacts will be rewarded to the meritorious soldiers, and they will be ready to return to the ......."

"My lord!" Liu Chengying's voice was interrupted by Senator Zhang, "My lord, we are at the request of the British king to help in the war, and this is a private war ......."

Liu Chengying flicked his sleeves, "No need! just hand over the captives to him!" Dropping this sentence, he walked towards the study with a blushing face.

......

The next morning, Henry IV rode a pure black war horse, surrounded by the royal guards, to the dock to meet the triumphant Liu Chengying.

"Coventry, are the more than 500 Viking Vikings really finished?"

Coventry tugged on the reins and leaned in towards Henry IV, "Dear Your Majesty, there should be nothing wrong with this. ”

"In just half a day, we were able to deal with the Viking pirates that had plagued England for many years, and this kind of combat power was simply incredible. ”

Looking at Henry IV's palpitating expression, Coventry sneered in his heart, I told you a long time ago, those Ming people are not simple, it was originally a simple matter, but now it is so complicated by you idiot.

On the one hand, he slandered Henry IV, but on the other hand, he said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, no matter how powerful Count Liu is, isn't it a sharp knife in your hand?"

When Henry IV heard this, he laughed and said to him, "Hahahaha!

He laughed insolently for a moment, and then suddenly the tone of his words changed, "Coventry, but in that case, how should I reward him?"

Coventry understands that the miserly king is ready to empty the white wolf again. He thought for a moment, and then said, "It's better to knight him." ”

"Knighthood, knighthood of an outsider, for God's sake, are you crazy!"

Damn the Lanchester mongrel! Someday you'll bury this country with your own hands!Coventry hated in his heart, but he had to smile at him, "Wise Your Majesty, I don't think there's anything inappropriate about a title for Earl Liu, who is about to become your son-in-law." ”

Henry IV touched his beard, considered the gains and losses, and said slowly: "What you said has some truth, but England is such a big place, how to solve the fiefdom?"

The treacherous and cunning Coventry pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of his old rival, the Duke of Langton, and then said quietly: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Langton of Liverpool, I heard that he has recently bought a lot of homeless people. ”

For a king, everything can be turned a blind eye, but when it comes to royal power, it is absolutely impossible to loosen up.

Henry IV did not speak, he sneered and shook the reins in his hand, and guided the war horse towards Liu Chengying's fleet.

Although he did not speak, Coventry knew that the king's heart was moved, and his heart suddenly blossomed, and he secretly proudly dragged the war horse to follow.

At the same time, at the back of the line to greet Liu Chengying, Margaret sat in a luxurious carriage and said to Hannah with a grumbling voice: "Little Hannah, I really don't understand why I have to meet that person." ”

Since Hannah heard about the custom of marriage in the Ming Kingdom, she seemed to regard herself as half a hostess, and naturally said good things for Liu Chengying, "Your Highness, is there anything wrong with you, as the fiancée of Count Liu, to welcome the triumphant husband?"

The innocent Margaret didn't hear her words, but said angrily: "Oh ~ God! When did I become that man's fiancée, I only met him once." ”

Knowing that she was speechless, Hannah hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, Hannah didn't mean that, Hannah said that His Majesty is ready to marry you to Count Liu." ”

No matter how stupid she is, Margaret grew up in the court since she was a child, and she still more or less felt the change in Hannah's tone, "Little Hannah, how do I feel that you are a little weird today?"

"No, Your Highness, don't think about it, it's almost time, let's go over quickly. Hannah was a little distracted by what she said, and quickly diverted the subject, and at the same time put her head out of the carriage and shouted to the coachman, "Slacker, don't get to the front yet!"

The coachman glanced at the little slut resentfully, shook the reins with both hands, and drove the carriage to the dock as fast as he could.

......

"My lord, the ship has docked, will it land immediately?"

Liu Chengying glanced at the people on the dock, nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Whoa!"

Yang Qianhu got up from the floor and strode towards the springboard.

At that time, the docks of the Port of London were so crowded that almost half of the city's population rushed here.

Celebrities and ladies dressed in costumes stood in groups of three or five at the front, covering their mouths with folding fans, while talking with their girlfriends about which soldier was stronger.

They were surrounded by a group of young nobles, blocking the civilians who tried to rush forward, and at the same time losing no time in offering courtesy to the ladies and noblewomen.

Behind this group of privileged classes is a group of businessmen and warblers.

The merchants greedily stared at the trophies that the sailors had brought off the boats, and the warblers scratched their heads and seduced each soldier.

Behind them, there was a different scene. The jumble crowd was filled with all sorts of characters, from excited civilians, hangover sailors, expectant hawkers, filthy beggars and, of course, the famous London pickpockets.

Henry IV looked at his people in disgust, and said angrily to Coventry: "Look! These are the subjects of the Kingdom of England, and I am so disappointed!"

Coventry was already unsurprised by the scene before him, and he calmly said to Henry IV: "Your Majesty, a metropolis like London, with a population of tens of thousands, is inevitable. ”

"Damn, but why did someone tell me that there were many cities with a population of hundreds of thousands in the Ming Kingdom, but they were tightly managed, are they all fake?"

Coventry didn't dare to tell the truth about this, "Wise Your Majesty, of course this is false. It must have been made up by the conspirators, and I propose to arrest him and hang him again!"

Henry IV looked at Coventry meaningfully and said, "The person who said these words to me is your uncle, the Viscount of Santander......"

Coventry was speechless for a while, and he wanted to slap himself twice, but fortunately, at this time, Liu Chengying stepped off the gunboat, so he quickly changed the topic, pretended to be excited, and shouted: "Oh ~ God! Your Majesty, look, Count Liu has landed with a prisoner of war!"
