Chapter 12 Art Without Borders
Liang Daguan's expression was not much better, his greedy gaze and the gold under the firelight were intertwined, flashing with a yellow and clear light, which made people not be forced to look. The greedy hand touched this piece and then the other, like a tomb robber who had fallen into the treasure of the forty great thieves.
The expressions of the two men made Yigan's subordinates shudder, afraid that if someone reached out and touched a copper plate, maybe the pair would pounce on the knife and fight for their lives.
"Dad, what do you want to do with those people" Liang Pengfei, who was excited for a long time, remembered that he was down to business, pulled Liang Yuanxia aside and asked in a low voice.
Liang Yuanxia narrowed his eyes and looked at his son with a meaningful gaze. "What do you want to do?"
Liang Pengfei didn't expect his father to ask himself, he was slightly stunned, and his eyes were beaded: "Dad, if it's a son, let them all go." ”
"Reason." Liang Yuanxia sat on a box of gold and asked beautifully. Liang Pengfei smiled, stepped forward, and whispered in Liang Yuanxia's ear for a long time. Liang Daguan's expression changed from confusion at the beginning to relief.
"Dad, do you think it's going to happen?" Liang Pengfei, who finished talking about his thoughts, saw Liang Yuanxia's expression clearly and knew that his father had agreed with his plan.
"Cheng, I don't care about this matter, Dad, I want to dispose of these things, and I'll leave the matter to you." Liang Yuanxia patted the box of gold under his buttocks, and smiled at Liang Pengfei.
Liang Pengfei, who was full of emotion, walked behind his father and pinched his father's back. "The son must live up to his father's expectations."
Liang Yuanxia sighed comfortably, enjoying his son's service, and whispered: "If you think you have an idea about everything, come to your father, our father and son, what else can't you say......"
Liang Pengfei could only nod silently, the words of thanks were only said to outsiders, and he could only repay his father's expectations with actions. The father and son were talking in a low voice, and the pirates here deliberately slowed down their movements for fear of interfering with the conversation between the father and son......
--------------------
Baron Edmund, bound hand and foot, sat on the deck, sobbing quietly, his lips squirming, and muttering his prayers to God, beside him, the captains and officers of the various warships, all dejected, their eyes showing uneasiness and fear, as if confirming their fear of their future fate.
Lieutenant Colonel Louis looked at the Englishman Captain George, who was standing in the distance and was talking to Liang Pengfei incessantly.
The English captain frequently pointed his finger to this side, chattering and closing his mouth, while the young pirate leader next to him kept shaking his head, and Lieutenant Colonel Louis's heart couldn't help but be tightly tangled together. "Does that damn Brit really want to kill them all?" He couldn't help but have such a question in his heart.
He was not mistaken, Captain George was trying to convince Liang Pengfei to kill all the Spaniards, because he did not want the British East India Company to expose the robbery of the Spanish royal treasure ship, which was also a European maritime power.
Since the British Empire was not afraid of the Spanish warships, it was absolutely unwilling to be rebuked and despised by the whole of Europe for the misconduct of the East India Company. In that case, it is likely that the East India Company will come under more pressure, and in addition to the hostility of the various European powers in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, it will have to react to the actions of the East India Company at home.
"I'm sorry, dear George, you don't have enough reason to convince me, so your suggestion is not on my radar." Liang Pengfei gentlemanly took out a pocket watch inlaid with diamonds and precious stones from his bosom, looked at the time, and then rejected the Englishman's request with a smile.
“…… Your Excellency, do you really want to let them go? Captain George's face couldn't help but change, and his excited voice raised a lot, if Liang Pengfei was willing to agree to kill these Spaniards, he was even willing to kneel on the ground and lick Liang Pengfei's stinky shoes to express his gratitude.
Many of the Spanish officers on the deck knew English, so they naturally heard this in their ears, and could not help greeting all the female relatives of Captain George in their suffocating English. "If you release them, the Spaniards will surely take revenge on you, God, do you want that?" Captain George had abandoned his elegance as a nobleman, and loudly threatened Liang Pengfei, who had already walked towards the Spanish officers. In exchange for a pirate's butt. "Be respectful to our young master, you Yingyi with stray hair." The pirate warned coldly in his broken English, his cold gaze glaring like a sword.
Captain George held his battered face and looked at the muzzle of the black hole aimed at him, and couldn't help but shudder, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
"No, we will never take revenge on you, Your Excellency, I hope you will keep your promise and release us, and we can give you those treasures, those spices, and even these warships, I hope you will not harm us." Baron Edmund cried out loudly at this time, where could he care about the pain in his chest.
Liang Pengfei looked at the embarrassed baron, his greedy expression was like a landlord with a bad stomach looking at the tenant who was preparing his daughter to pay off his debts. Soon, a smile appeared on Liang Pengfei's face, as if the dark sky had suddenly been pierced by the sun.
"Rest assured, those of us who cruise the seas have always been committed to keeping our promises. Release the baron's hands and feet, white scholar, and treat the venerable baron's wounds, for I need to have a good talk with the baron. Young Master Liang nodded with satisfaction and said in a businesslike tone.
--------------------
In the luxurious room below the tail floor, the poor Spanish baron was full of grief and indignation. "My God! These damned pirates, oh no, dear sir, I have absolutely not offended you in the slightest, I mean the hateful British, and their greedy East India Company, who have such evil intentions as to make us Spain and France miserable, bastards who deserve hell. ”
Although Baron Edmund won the favor of Carlos IV by virtue of nepotism and thus became the royal escort of this treasure fleet, his political acumen was definitely not bad, and he quickly captured the complete context from the information Liang Pengfei told him.
"Well, dear baron, it doesn't matter much to me about the grievances between your two countries." Liang Pengfei frowned a little impatiently and said. Actually, Mr. Liang wished he could think that, but for now, he needed to present himself as a pirate with a chivalrous spirit, not a politician or an expert in international relations.
"Yes, Your Excellency, please accept my apology, I wonder when you will be able to let me and my companion go?" Baron Edmund said cautiously with a smile.
"It's ...... Guitar? Liang Pengfei saw an instrument hanging on one wall in the room that was somewhat similar to a modern guitar, but somewhat different, and couldn't help but step forward and take it down.
"God, I can't believe that Your Excellency would recognize this favorite instrument of our Spanish." Baron Edmund slapped a small sycophant, and pouted vigorously in his heart, how can a pirate from an uncivilized world know music?
"Of course, dear baron, artists have borders, but art has no borders." Liang Pengfei's words made Baron Edmund's eyeballs almost fall to the ground.
Liang Pengfei sat on a chair, plucked the strings, adjusted the tightness of the strings neatly, and began to pluck the strings.
"Once upon a time
You own me, I own you
Once upon a time
You left me to wander far away......
The outside world is wonderful
The outside world is helpless
When you feel that the outside world is wonderful
I would be here to wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart......"
The beautiful guitar melody and the faint melancholy voice not only surprised the baron, but also raised a kind of heartfelt melancholy among the pirates standing at the door.
"What does the young master mean by singing? How can people listen to the widow in their hearts. Monk Chen sniffed, feeling that the sea and the distant beach that he didn't usually care about had a heartbreaking beauty.
"Sunny spring white snow, sunny spring white snow...... The young master is really versatile. Bai Shusheng tilted his head, feeling that he was full of melancholy that needed to be expressed, but unfortunately the poems and books in his early years had already made him forget all about it, and in addition to a few silver words and yellow tones in his stomach, there was only seafood stuffed in at noon today.
At the end of the song, the Spanish officers who were bound outside were also intoxicated by this beautiful music, although they could not understand Chinese, but it did not prevent them from integrating their hearts and arts.
"My God, I have never heard such beautiful and sad music, you must be a musical talent." Baron Edmund's sycophants contain a hint of genuine respect.
