Part 5 Pirate Legend 37, untie the knot
If they really made a fuss, Lin Feng and Cheng Blind would definitely die, so they decided to hand over the "King Solomon's Ring", and this infighting was temporarily subsided.
Simon Almeida got his wish, holding the "Ring of King Solomon" in his hand and praying with his eyes closed, and the gold and silver treasure, which was enough to buy half Europa, seemed to be shining before his eyes......
Lin Feng asked, "Where did that bastard run away from Zhang Biao?" ”
"I didn't see it, maybe I was scared away." Cheng Blind looked around and reminded: "I suspect that Fernando's fleet is nearby, we must watch Zhang Biao's kid, and we can't let him sell us." ”
With that, the two of them left the deck.
Old Fili stood beside the priest and asked, "Have you received a revelation from God?" ”
Even after asking three times, Simon Almeida did not answer, and saw that he closed his eyes tightly as if he was in a state of flux, and old Fili was a little anxious, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and asked again in a loud voice: "Father, how are you?" What should we do now? ”
"This ring is a fake!" Simon Almeida replied coldly.
Old Filipe seemed a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Father, how do you—how do you judge that this is fake?" ”
"It is said that with this ring, you can understand any language, but I can't even understand what the two pirates are saying."
At this moment, they suddenly felt that the hall was much brighter, and then they heard someone shouting: "It's on fire!" ”
When they looked up, they saw a fire at the stern of the galleon, and the fire climbed up the mast with the help of the wind, and the sail was like a fiery dragon, whirring in the wind, soaring into the sky, dyeing half of the sky red......
Lin Feng and Cheng Blind and the others saw that the galleon was not guaranteed, and climbed down to the bottom cabin with a rolling belt, in order to fight for the escape boat, they started a fierce battle with the Western soldiers, and when Simon Almeida and Old Fili came down, the two sides could not distinguish the winner.
Just when the two sides were fighting desperately, the galleon began to crumble, seeing this situation, Cheng Blind and Old Filip both ordered their men to cease fighting, and someone dragged out a dozen lifeboats from the bilge, and everyone rushed to escape......
Old Fili was the first to jump into the boat, and Simon Almeida and the others followed and squeezed up; Immediately afterwards, as soon as Cheng Blind and Lin Feng climbed onto the second boat, the two were pushed into the sea by Western soldiers......
After all, Lin Feng and Cheng Blind were both old, and after several ups and downs in the sea, they were soon swept away by the waves, and at this moment of crisis, Zhu Hui and others drove a speedboat and suddenly appeared in front of them......
Rescuing the two of them into the cabin, Lin Feng asked, "Did you set the fire?" ”
Zhang Gou'er replied: "We followed Zhang Biao and never dared to approach this big ship, how could it be that we set it on fire?" ”
As soon as Cheng Blind saw Zhu Hui, he laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Good boy, if you are born later, it is a pity, you were born decades late, otherwise, you will definitely become the overlord of the sea generation." ”
"Cheng's seniors have won the award, and the juniors know that you have fought with Bai seniors all your life, and you have never been willing to lose under his hands, and now that you are all old, the past grievances will be written off." Speaking of this, Zhu Hui asked: "Listen to that Zhang Biao, you have the heart to unite with the old Bai seniors to deal with the Westerners, but is there such a thing?" ”
"The vicissitudes of life, when he was old and young, he had no choice but to do a lot of ridiculous things with the owner of the Wufeng ship, Bai Haishan took away the wealth he had accumulated for a lifetime, and he would not be willing to put it on anyone's head, this money is enough to buy half the world, who will not blush when he sees it? Last year, when the white sea and mountain fell into my hands, I pressed him to ask him about the whereabouts of the treasure, but he would rather die than admit it. Actually, the two of us hadn't met before that, and I was thinking that maybe some of the legends might not be true, and I was almost fooled by him at the time. It wasn't until I learned from the priest's mouth that the story about him and Mrs. Wang Cuiqiao that I figured out the truth of the whole incident, and secretly admired Bai Haishan as a man. ”
Untying the entanglement buried in his heart for a lifetime, Cheng Blind felt much more relaxed, at this moment, looking at the raging fire on that sailboat, he knew that the subordinates he brought with him had to be buried in the sea, and he couldn't help but cry like rain......
Zhang Gou'er asked, "Who set the fire?" ”
"This must have been done by Zhang Biao's kid, it's certain that Fernando's fleet is nearby."
As soon as Cheng Blind's words fell, he heard a "boom" of cannonballs, and the boat in which Simon Almeida and Old Fili were riding was overturned by the waves stirred up by the artillery fire.
The fierce artillery fire came, everyone on the galleon was fleeing for their lives, Zhu Hui wanted to rescue Lao Fili and others, but in this situation had to evacuate quickly.
The galleon slowly sank, the sea was crowded, and Fernando stood on the control tower of the warship and laughed loudly, until Zhang Biao threw old Fili and Simon Almeida at his feet, he smiled, grabbed the wet priest, and slapped him twice.
"You hateful bastard, it's your big deal that spoiled Lao Tzu!"
Simon Almeida struggled to push it away, pounced on him and slapped him, scolding: "You traitor to the empire, the devil who sees money, if you didn't tolerate and raise traitors in the Philippines and exchange silver dollars with pirates, how could the pirate Lin Feng become a climate?" You vainly try to devour the wealth of the pirate Wang Zhi, and even dream of becoming the governor of the Southern New World, without peeing on your own dignity? ”
Fernando stopped talking nonsense, raised his fist high, and punched him in the face, Simon Almeida fell in response, and a group of Westerners waved their steel knives and tried to kill him.
At this time, old Filip hurriedly protected him with his body, waved his hands and begged for mercy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do not be reckless, he is a messenger appointed by the Pope, a saint of high moral character, who has fought all his life for the ideal of establishing the kingdom of heaven and the world......"
Fernando drank his soldiers back, gave old Fili a hat salute, and said: "Dear old Fili, you don't have to defend this demon, I won't kill him, his allies are almost here, and it's of great use to keep him." ”
In order to make his son the governor of the southern New World, old Filip can be said to have spent a lot of money and scheming, and the general in front of him in the imperial colony is the only rival of his son Felipe, and now that he is in his hands, I am afraid that there will be more than luck.
Thinking of this, old Fili asked cautiously, "General Fernando, are you going to attack the Osea tribe?" ”
Fernando couldn't help but smile and ordered Simon Almeida to be tied up, and then replied: "Dear old Mr. Fili, we don't need to go to war with Oseia, now that the Imperial Navy led by Carlos has occupied the Solomon Islands, there are more and more signs that all the possessions of the pirate Wang Zhi are hidden there." Don't get me wrong, I'm still a loyal subject of His Majesty the King of Great Spain, and as such, I'm not going to war with General Carlos. ”
Old Filip was a little puzzled, and continued to ask, "So, what is the purpose of your coming from thousands of miles away?" ”
"Simon Almeida's ally Jiro Jiro is almost here, these Japanese Japanese pirates are very cruel, let them go to war with General Carlos first, please stay on our ship and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, at the critical moment, I still need the old gentleman to help me."
"General Fernando, it's hot here, and the ship is prone to plagues, but I don't know how long we have to wait? What can I do for you? ”
"You're right, it's true that people get sick every day, but rest assured, old man, I'll keep you safe if General Carlos wins......"
Old Fili hurriedly waved his hand, immediately interrupted him, and explained: "No, no, I'm afraid I can't help much, I don't have a friendship with General Carlos. ”
"As far as I know, your son-in-law Felipe is on his ship......"
Hearing this, old Filip softly shouted "God forbid" and fell to the deck in an instant......
With these two hostages in his hands, Fernando was quite ambitious at the moment, and sent someone to take care of old Filip, and put Simon Almeida in the bilge, because he was worried that this "respectable" priest would be demagogic and let Zhang Biao, who had no religious beliefs, take care of it, so he went back to sleep in the cabin.
Not long after he fell asleep, he suddenly heard many crew members screaming loudly, so frightened that he did not even wear clothes, and hurried out of the cabin to inquire, only to learn that a monster had emerged from the water and snatched Simon Almeida away.
"The Japanese are here, quickly notify the warships to prepare for battle!"
Fernando climbed up to the control tower and ordered all four of his warships to light fish oil lamps and set up cannons to search Jiro's fleet in the nearby waters......
They searched until noon the next day, and they didn't even see a sail shadow on the vast sea, which made Fernando puzzled, if Jiro came, it was impossible to have no clues, at this time, he suddenly remembered Zhang Biao, could it be this bastard?
Zhang Biao was escorted to the control tower, he was already frightened, knelt in front of Fernando, and explained: "General, I burned their sailboat and reported to the adults, I have long had enough of his bullying, and I can't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood, how can I, how can I let him go?" ”
With the help of the translator, Fernando nodded, but if it weren't for Zhang Biao's ghosting, based on his many years of sailing experience, it would be impossible not to find an opponent.
So, Fernando asked, "Zhang Biao, what did you see at that time?" ”
"I—I saw a fellow like a toad, suddenly burst into the bilge, and before I could react, this fellow picked up the priest and ran away, and the moment they jumped into the sea, the sailors on our ship noticed that everyone was screaming, and I was so frightened that I passed out."
Fernando couldn't believe it, and then asked, "Zhang Biao, have you ever seen such a monster before during the entire voyage with Simon Almeida?" ”
"Haven't seen it, never seen it before."
"In this way, Simon Almeida is really the embodiment of Satan, this demon has deceived the Pope and His Majesty the Emperor for many years, and we must be careful not to let Satan's plot succeed."
At this time, old Fili also came, in his opinion, it must be Zhang Biao who made up a lie, killed Simon Almeida, and threw his body into the sea, if he continued to keep this guy, his own life would have to be over, he couldn't help but be angry from his heart, waved the steel knife, and killed Zhang Biao in front of Fernando.
"Old Mr. Fili, are you crazy!" Fernando let out a loud shout, stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, and asked angrily, "Have you forgotten your situation?" ”
"Fernando, you traitor to the empire, even if you are the first person to ascend to the southern New World, you will not be able to become the governor of the New World, I advise you to die of that heart!"
"You damn old thing, believe it or not I threw you into the ocean to feed the fish."
Old Filipe sneered, looked at the vast sea, and prayed in a low voice: "Almighty Lord and merciful God, bless the soul of Father Simon Almeida to ascend to heaven, and bless my son Felipe to become the governor of the New World......"
