Chapter 168: Bicycle Race (3) -- Brewing

Seeing this, Field was also interested, and changed the subject: "You said that this Ming chose this time to change his name, is there any deep meaning?" ā€ć€‚ Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After all, if you don't change your name sooner or later, you choose to change your name when the envoys of various countries gather. This point in time is really thought-provoking.

When Magorny heard this, he secretly agreed: "Da Ming always has rules to follow. This Xiazhou can be described as far-reaching! ā€ć€‚ But he didn't say it, but said in an indifferent tone: "Maybe there is, maybe not." ā€ć€‚ As he spoke, he yawned long.

Seeing that Marcouni was a little tired, Field didn't want to stay long. After a few polite words, he got up and left.

It's just that as soon as he walked on his front foot, Philip, the British ambassador to Ming, walked in through the door.

Magorny's exhaustion was immediately swept away and he became refreshed. He poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it to Philip. In Meikyo City, both the dry season and the rainy season are hot. Therefore, this herbal tea has become a tool for relieving the heat and is widely welcomed by the people. When it is hot and dry, take a few sips, and your heart will immediately be much clearer.

Philip was immediately flattered! Because Magorny, as an earl, was a real nobleman in England. This status is incomparable to that of him, a pirate-turned-ambassador. So he took the cup very stiffly, and his face was cramped.

Seeing his nervousness, Magorny also comforted him. Only then did he say up: "How is it?" Have you found out all the people you are investigating? ā€ć€‚

Philip immediately took a few sips of herbal tea, and the tension in his heart instantly dissipated a lot. responded: "Although the people of Daming are watching very closely, I bought a few Ming immigrants and asked them to help me find out." ā€ć€‚

When he speaks, his tone is filled with irrepressible excitement. It seems that something remarkable has been accomplished.

Hearing this, Magorny also looked overjoyed and praised: "Good! The British Empire will remember you! ā€ć€‚ If it goes according to the plan, it will be done. That Ming Dynasty's advantage in the South Seas will collapse in an instant. Even with the Nanyang Military District, it is also in danger.

But before you do it, you have to be cautious. lest you be seen by the Ming Dynasty and fall short! He admonished Philip a few times to be cautious and move on to the next step.

As a result, a well-planned anti-Ming action is secretly brewing under the impetus of the British. It's like a crocodile hunting, lurking quietly underwater. Before biting the prey, the calm surface of the lake makes people feel the slightest danger.

On the second day, the world's first cycling race finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Zhao Teng hurried to his father's car dealership. This is the place where he and his friends agreed, and they agreed to go to the competition together.

Seeing his son coming, Zhao Guangyi smiled happily: "Stinky boy, come over and see the new car that Dad prepared for you!" ā€ć€‚ He suggested this event to the Sports Department in order to better promote cycling. As for warming up for the Games, it's just incidental.

Therefore, after the Sports Department adopted his suggestion, he was also in good spirits at happy events. prepared a big gift for his son. If you get the first place or something, it will also help him promote the bicycle.

In this way, the endorsement fee is also waived.

Zhao Teng didn't expect his father to be so 'deep and far-sighted', and he thought with emotion in his heart: "Dad is so understanding and considerate of himself. ā€ć€‚

Immediately full of surprise, he shouted, "Where? Where? ā€ć€‚

I saw Zhao Guangyi smile and pointed to the corner.

It was a mass of objects covered in a red cloth, and by the outline, you could guess that it was a bicycle. Zhao Teng, who was in a hurry, immediately ran forward and unceremoniously tore off the red cloth.

Then, he was only surprised but not happy!

In disbelief, he asked, "Dad--this-can't this be the 'new' car you prepared, right?" ā€ć€‚ He stammered and bit the word 'new' very hard.

Because the bike was rusty, most of the paint on it had fallen off. It is tattered, and it is really far from the tall and tall imagined. If you use this to participate in the competition, let alone win, it is a question mark whether you can run or not.

But Zhao Guangyi didn't seem to see the disappointment in Zhao Teng's eyes, and said seriously: "Well, this is the bicycle that you rode apart, and now I'll help you assemble it." Ride it and you might be able to add a bit of luck! ā€ć€‚

"Dad!" , Zhao Teng drooped his face, his voice dragged on for a long time, and complained: "Don't bring such a fool!" ā€ć€‚ It's good to ride this broken car and don't bring bad luck! And luck! He felt that his father was just opening his eyes and talking nonsense to fool him.

Thinking of this, he also kicked the bicycle angrily, venting his dissatisfaction in his heart.

Seeing Zhao Teng's reaction, Zhao Guangyi's voice sank a little, and confirmed: "Then you don't want it?" ā€ć€‚

Zhao Teng immediately kicked the bicycle three times in a row, showing his attitude with his actions.

"That's good! Don't regret it later! Zhao Guangyi said, and picked up the bicycle. Then with a tear, the sticker wrapped around the body was torn off.

When the bright and smooth bicycle appeared in front of his eyes, Zhao Teng realized that this was his father's prank. It's all to blame for his dad for being too realistic, smearing yellowed rust on the stickers. Let him not see through it for a while.

However, the appearance of the new car diluted his resentment against his father. Without further ado, he jumped on his bike. Zhao Guangyi also quipped: "Didn't you say you don't want this broken car?" ā€ć€‚

Zhao Teng grinned and played tricks with a cheeky face.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang and others came, basically all of them were a football team. They had made an appointment to meet here at eight o'clock in the morning, but when they counted the numbers, they found that one person was missing.

Zhao Teng is the captain, and he is still a little dignified on weekdays. Immediately dissatisfied: "Who of you knows where Niu Bayi went?" This kid dares to be late! ā€ć€‚

Niu Bayi is a Chinese immigrant from Myanmar who is relatively stocky. And the skills are also more flexible, and the response is faster. So he became the goalkeeper of the football team. In so many ball games, he stubbornly blocked a lot of balls, which can be called indispensable.

A member of the team who had seen him immediately replied: "I don't know! He came home early yesterday and said he was helping his family look after the store. ā€ć€‚ Niu Ba's family opened a pawn shop, although it was not a big deal, but it was also a little nourishing. In the words of later generations, it is a 'well-off home'.

Everyone else also shook their heads, saying that they didn't know about Niu Bayi's situation.

After waiting for a while, I saw that Niu Bayi hadn't come yet. Zhao Teng was also a little angry! Ride the bike, take the team members, and go to the arena first. After all, the event starts at 10 o'clock, and if it is delayed, there will be no chance to play.
