Section 20 Al Hessin

Lao Luo was not a money-stinger man, and had no interest in shopping around, and had a good conversation with the Athenian Mussos, so he decided to go back to see how the ship was going to be, and then wait for the arrival of Al-Hassen, and determine the date and destination of the northbound ship.

When he was resting at night, Lao Luo arranged for Naga to accompany Eighteen Lang to meet with Nuralman the next day to see the situation on Alhasen's side. In the last contact, the news from Nuralman was that everything was normal on Al Hassen's side, and although there was a headache about the matter of river survey, no one doubted that Al Hassen was preparing to leave the country of Fatima.

After a few days of nothing, Lao Luo would get up early every day to practice boxing, walk around Alexandria during the day, and go to the bar to eat or drink in the evening. The waters of the Mediterranean Sea are still very clear, and the ship of Mussos is not very large, at most more than 30 meters long, but the cabin is very large, which is different from the Arab ships, probably the later Spanish pot-bellied ships came from here, as for the mast there are only three, and there is a pole in the bow to support a square sail.

Mussos said that his ship was used to running in the Mediterranean, and the only pity was that it could not be changed to a diagonal spinnaker like the Arabs, so it was not as fast as the Arab ship, but because the airtightness of the cabin was relatively good, in comparison, the wind and rain resistance was still good. Lao Luo checked that there was also no watertight cabin in the ship, although it was only a large open warehouse, but the key structures were reinforced, at least there was no problem in insisting on crossing the Mediterranean.

As for the maintenance of the ship mentioned by Messos, the main thing is to re-oil the outer layer for anti-corrosion, and the key is to remove the existence of ship maggots, which are repeatedly prohibited, especially for ships sailing at sea, after each voyage, they must enter fresh water for treatment, otherwise a ship will soon be eaten clean by ship maggots.

After finishing the task of booking the ship, Lao Luo took Mnaki around to see if there were any new things to buy. Maybe it's because Lao Luo is not new, maybe it's because Lao Luo's tall figure doesn't dare to provoke anymore, anyway, there are no idlers to disturb him, such a leisurely day until Naga and Eighteen Lang come back.

In fact, Alhasen was already very close to Alexandria, and Naga and Eighteen Lang came back with Alhasen's team. Lao Luo didn't rush to see Alhasen, no one cared about the faces of Naga and Eighteen Lang, but Lao Luo's tall figure was very different, and Alhasen lived in the official Fatimid inn near the Library of Alexandria, and there would definitely be people who had seen Lao Luo. At this time, attracting the attention of irrelevant people is a defeat that outweighs the loss.

Lao Luo wandered around the port for a few days, and he didn't mess around in vain, and found a few suitable substitutes, the most suitable one was a dock overseer, who was as thin as Alhasen, about the same height, and most importantly, his face was also very similar. But this person's reputation is very good, and there are two young children at home, Lao Luo is not a hypocrite, but it is unethical to attack such a person.

Fortunately, Alexandria has a large population, and it is not so difficult to find a suitable person to replace the dead ghost, and another candidate who is suitable and will not make Lao Luo feel uneasy has appeared. This is a guy who is a loan shark in the harbor, a little hunchback and the same beard than Alhasen, but he takes care of it with much more care than Alhasen. The most important thing is that this guy is very suspicious, including his subordinates, he can't be trusted, and he always rests alone at night, so he doesn't have to worry about being seen when he disposes of this person.

After choosing the target, Lao Luo must also meet Alhasen before acting, and communication and cooperation in advance are necessary. When meeting in public, it is inevitable to be suspicious, and Lao Luo's physical characteristics are the biggest problem, but fortunately, he has already explored the structure of the Fatima Post House, so one unknown night, Lao Luo sneaked into Alhasen's room in the post house.

"Allah, Bartol, you have great courage." Alhasen, who had been informed by Nurralman in advance, was waiting for him in the room, and was surprised to see Lao Luo, dressed as a Berber, enter the room.

"Hehe, Alhasen, long time no see, don't come unharmed?" Lao Luo smiled and said to Alhasen: "Are you ready to change to another identity?" ”

"My friend, Bartol!" Alhasen stepped forward and gave Lao Luo a hug, and then said with a smile: "I haven't slept well for half a month, and I'm worried about something unexpected all day." You startled me when you came in. ”

"Alright, alright, Alhasen." Lao Luo patted Alhasen on the back and comforted him: "I have found your substitute ghost, you are ready to do it according to my arrangement." ”

"You've arranged it, and I have nothing to worry about." After speaking, Alhasen asked with some hesitation: "That... What is my scapegoat? ”

"Don't worry, it's a black-hearted loan shark, a miserly bastard who has forced many people to death." Lao Luo casually explained, fortunately, he kept the moral bottom line.

Alhasen smiled with satisfaction, after all, no one wants their partner to be a guy with no moral bottom line.

For the next few days, Alhasan wandered around the dock without incident, and from time to time he looked at the scenery in the distance, looking like he was distracted. The wooden platform of the pier, which had fallen into disrepair, was somewhat damaged, and as a result, when the Muslims were worshipping in the evening, Al-Hassen accidentally stepped on a wooden plank and fell down, and by the time the retinue Nuralman in the distance found it and called for someone, more than an hour had passed.

Two days later, the "body of Al Hassen" was recovered from the water under the wooden platform of the pier, and the whole person was swollen by the seawater, and then transported back to Cairo by Al Hassen's old butler and Nuralman.

In the hotel room of the Jewish Rumbus, a thin man in a hooded robe with neat hair and beard stood in front of Lao Luo and complained: "I said Bartol, why do I feel so awkward about this dress, and my hair and my beard have all been cut off by you." ”

"Hehe, Alhasen, no, no, what's your name, Al Hessin," Lao Luo looked at Alhasen with a smile, "I think your image is very good, much better than the previous image of a messy bearded man." ”

"Besides, I was scared to see that guy that day, it's exactly like me" Alhasan let go of his relaxation, "I said, what else can't you guy?" I think you can be an Athenian barber. ”

"Wouldn't it be bad if you didn't make that guy look like you?" Lao Luo knew that Alhasen was asking about the black-hearted substitute ghost who was dressed up exactly like him. That night, Lao Luo rowed a canoe under the high platform of the pier and waited for Al Hassen, and when Al Hassen jumped off the high platform, Lao Luo changed his robe into the corpse of the dead ghost, and then pushed the corpse into the water, and then took Al Hassen to leave to change his makeup, and then swaggered back into the hotel in Alexandria, no one was suspicious at all, as for the disappearance of the dead ghost himself, no one cared, even his subordinates only because he absconded with money, because all his things were swept away by Lao Luo.

"Aren't you looking very good now, don't worry, just change your name, change your image, and change your lifestyle." Lao Luo comforted the "Al Hesyan" in front of him, "I don't know what you think, changed to such a strange name." ”

"The name is called by someone, and it becomes a smooth mouth." Alhassen or Al Hessen spoke, his hand still groping for the beard on his face, "Don't say it, fix the beard, and it won't be so much of a problem when you eat." ”

"Hehe, you have to get used to the current image, as long as you get on the boat to Athens, there is nothing to worry about." Lao Luo relaxed and enlightened Al Heisien, "Now wait for Naga and Eighteen Lang to come back with your butler and Nuralman." ”

"And then we can go?" Al Hesyn said.

"Well, we've already made an appointment, let's go straight to Athens." "I'd like to see what Athens once was, or you can look for it, maybe with you." ”

"Will there be?" Al Hesyn's eyes lit up.

"Who knows, but after all, it's Socrates' hometown, and there will always be some talent, right?" Lao Luo said with a tone of expectation.
