Part 5 Pirate Legends 40, On Mythology
Cheng Blind and the others Zhu Hui returned to Oseia and were ceremoniously received by Bai Haishan's father and son, and the two old men met again with a smile and enmity, making the ambitious Lin Feng embarrassed.
The Paladins are on a treasure hunt in the Solomon Islands, and Felipe can tell that Carlos wants to help find his father in the first place, leaving him disappointed and angry.
Tridani fled from Oseia, his ring was confiscated by Carlos and had lost its usefulness, and because he had "cheated" old Filipe for many years, he was severely reprimanded by Felipe, and the desperate Tridani repented deeply and told Philip about Oseia's situation without concealment.
In Felipe's opinion, it was better to rely on General Carlos than to rely on Bai Haishan, so he secretly contacted Song River and prepared to quietly go to Osea with the help of Tridani.
Song He followed the Imperial Spanish Navy this time and brought fifty Ming soldiers, hoping to rescue Bai Haishan and others who were kidnapped by Ma San, so the two hit it off; However, across the sea from the Solomon Islands to Oseia, the magical speedboat was snatched by the damned Jack, and there were no merchant ships to be encountered in this sea, and Carlos did not necessarily send warships to send them there, although they had made up their minds, they were all at a loss.
Carlos and the admirals were all heavy drinkers, and they were especially fond of the tequila made by the Indians, and they quickly drank up the wine that they had brought with them; Wu Xiang, who is a vassal and elegant, has also developed this habit, as the saying goes, "Li Baidou Wine Poems 100 Articles", Wu Xiang, who claimed to have written "**" and "Journey to the West", as the head of Yingtian Academy, in order to show his talent in front of those Jinling Confucian students, under the stimulation of the sweet tequila, he really wrote a lot of poems, so that Father Mendoza, who had received a good education since childhood and devoted himself to the study of art, was admired.
On this expedition, everyone persuaded Wu Xiang not to come, but Zhu Hui was his brother-in-law, and he was Shen Qi's brother-in-law, in order to give Shen Qi a long face, he needed to show how much his uncle loved his brother-in-law, and he showed amazing courage to participate in this action.
In order to cheer for Song He and other warriors, Shen Qi, Tang Jing and others prepared dozens of jars of rice wine for them, but Wu Xiang preferred agave, for this reason, Father Mendoza gave him two large wooden barrels, usually Wu Xiang was reluctant to drink, Song He and others were not used to drinking, and now it comes in handy.
The Spanish navy was listless after a day without alcohol, but they had not found any clues to the "treasure of Solomon", so General Carlos would be furious every day, and at this time, some of the generals began to make noise about returning home, and the "paladin" army was almost unable to hold on.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Xiang gave Felipe an idea and asked him to bring the dragon wine to find Carlos, hoping to borrow a warship to go to Oseia and ask Bai Haishan to help find his father.
Knowing that this idea may not work, he can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor. In this way, Felipe stepped forward, accompanied by Tridani and Wu Xiang, carrying a barrel of tequila, and quietly knocked on General Carlos's cabin.
A few days ago, the "Paladin" legion almost killed several times in order to fight for the last bit of agave, and Carlos hesitated on the question of insisting on treasure hunting or returning, and when he remembered the golden treasure of Solomon, he mustered up the courage to stay, but once his throat and eyes itched, he wanted to return to Acapulco immediately.
At this moment, General Carlos was bored, when he saw the three of them coming, the persimmon picked up the soft pinch, only to see him finger Tridani, splitting his head and covering his face and scolding, Felipe hurriedly closed the hatch, Wu Xiang took out caramel, salt and lemon, opened the lid of the barrel, and a rich aroma of wine came to his face, which immediately made Carlos's eyes widen, took a deep breath, and pulled Wu Xiang to laugh loudly......
Wu Xiang shook off his hand reservedly, took out a blade to cut lemons, Felipe took out two small cups from the wooden barrel, picked up a cup and handed it to Wu Xiang, only to see Wu Xiang unhurried, sprinkled the salt on the back of his hand, held the small cup with his thumb and index finger, put a slice of lemon between his ring finger and middle finger, licked the salt first, drank the wine violently, and quickly took a bite of the lemon slice, the whole process was done in one go, which provoked General Carlos to applaud.
Tridani did not drink alcohol as Father Augustine, and although Felipe was a merchant, he generally adhered to the rules and regulations, and he would not drink on such occasions, and the two of them served one another, and Wu Xiang and General Carlos quarreled with each other......
When he was drunk, Felipe asked the general for help and sent a warship to send them to Oseia, he was anxious to find his father, and General Carlos did not know that the so-called "Solomon Treasure" was actually transported by the White Sea Mountain, so he only set his eyes on the "Solomon Islands" and never thought of going to Oseia.
After hearing this request, for the sake of tequila, General Carlos agreed.
Felipe also understood that perhaps tomorrow he would change his mind as soon as he woke up, and that it would be best to take advantage of this opportunity to act immediately, so he hurried out of the cabin and called the general's adjutant Sapello, so that General Carlos could give an order in front of him to lend him a small ship, and he would lead the Ming soldiers to find Old Filip.
Sapello's eyes widened in astonishment, and Tridani immediately offered him a glass, but he did not dare to carry out the order; Felipe was in a hurry, and immediately arranged for the accompanying Ming soldiers to go back and carry another barrel, and by the way, bring all the remaining rice wine.
Seeing that there was still so much wine, General Carlos was overjoyed, and asked Sappello to immediately carry out the order, first send a warship back to Acapulco to get wine, anyway, there was no enemy around, so he lent the patrol and reconnaissance ship to Felipe.
When it was done, Wu Xiang and Felipe were ready to withdraw, while Tridani stared at the ring on Carlos's hand and gritted his teeth with hatred, but Carlos was only seventy percent drunk, and Tridani wanted to completely put him down before leaving, so he served him several cups in a row, but all of them were drunk by the adjutant.
Felipe knew that General Carlos really couldn't be drunk, and if he was so drunk, the order he had just given might not be counted.
As it was a bit hot in the cabin, Felipe picked up General Carlos and wanted to take him to the deck to get some air and let him supervise his men in carrying out orders, and Tridani took the opportunity to come to his aid, put Carlos' arm around his neck, and reached out to touch the ring......
At this moment, Tridani was very nervous, always paying attention to Carlos's expression, as long as he closed his eyes, he could pull out the ring, or maybe the general had too much alcohol, he lay on the shoulders of the two and raised his head, and actually sang a song, and also sang a bel canto ......
Adjutant Sapelo began to carry out the general's orders, several battleships were busy, someone vacated the patrol ship for Song He and other Ming army soldiers, and the warship that went back to pull wine was also ready to leave at dawn, just as Felipe and the others were about to leave, General Carlos suddenly fell to the ground, and Wu Xiang, who was so drunk, was tripped by him.
This allowed Tridani to seize the opportunity and hurriedly reached out to La Carlos, but his hand with the ring was held by Wu Xiang.
Tridani couldn't care about so much, so he pushed Wu Xiang away and pulled out the ring on Carlos' hand when he went up......
At the same time, Wu Xiang rolled on the spot, and the bronze mirror fell out of his arms, just as the mirror was facing the sky, aiming at the dark red Sirius......
Perhaps General Carlos's fingers were thicker, and Tridani pulled them off with all his might, and suddenly, a flash of light flashed from the mirror, and he heard Carlos shout: "It's hot!" Terridani was so scared that he was holding his head and running away......
General Carlos sat on the deck, blown by the cool breeze, as if he was much more awake, and stroked the ring, as if he had realized something......
"Tridani, you bastard, come here."
Tridani thought that Carlos was trying to settle accounts with him and ran faster than a rabbit, so Sapelo had to send someone to catch him, but he was scared to death......
"What are you running away from this bastard? I ask you, did you ever feel hot when you wore this ring on your hand? ā
Hearing Carlos's question, Tridani immediately calmed down and replied, "General, you know, this ring has been hidden in my clothes, and IāI have not dared to wear it lightly. ā
"Nonsense! I ask you if you have ever worn it? Do you feel very hot? ā
"Woken, worn, but didn't feel anything. It was left by the old captain Sir Mendner, and it was with this ring that I felt that Solomon's Treasure was here, and I kept it by my side as a treasure, and I did not dare to show it to others. ā
"So, did Sir Mendner ever feel hot?"
"I don't know this."
Probably a little uncomfortable, Carlos had to pull out the ring, because his finger was too thick to pull out......
"This ring seems to say, I am the king of Ethiopia, inheriting the blood of the great King Solomon." As he spoke, General Carlos stood up, raised his hands high, looked up at the stars, and exclaimed: "The wicked army of Babylon is attacking Jerusalem, the Great Father is suffering at this moment, and the temple of the Lord on Mount Zion is about to be burned, no, no! You demons, I will avenge my great father! ā
Since the ring regained its spirituality, every word of General Carlos was understandable to everyone present.
Felipe, who was watching coldly, seemed to understand, he squatted down and reached out to take the bronze mirror, Wu Xiang saw this, hurriedly put the bronze mirror away, General Carlos slowly stopped, and stopped pulling the ring down.
Song He asked quietly, "Wu Gongzi, do you believe in God?" ā
Wu Xiang shook his head like a rattle, waved his hand and replied, "Zi is silent, strange and confused!" Whether it is China or foreign countries, there are many ancient myths, who can prove that it is true? ā
"But I don't think it's so simple, I remember that a few days ago, Tridani came to Mr. Felipe to complain, saying that the Persian cat that Simon Almeida was looking for was brought to Osea by the Japanese princess, and the ring tied to the cat was given to the queen of Ethiopia by Solomon, and now it is worn on the hand of Zhu Gongzi......"
Before Song He finished speaking, Wu Xiang suddenly shed tears......
"My poor brother-in-law, you wait for me......"
