Chapter 401: Napoleon's Gamble!
“…… The heavens will descend on the people, and they will starve their bodies and skins, strain their muscles and bones, and suffer their minds. After Liang Guangcai recited this famous passage of Yasheng Da in Chinese, he explained the meaning of this passage to Napoleon in French.
“…… When Heaven is about to befall this man, he will first let his body be tormented by hunger, his muscles and bones tormented by exertion, and his mind tormented by pain. As the saying goes, how can you see a rainbow without going through tribulations......" Napoleon muttered the translation of the above sentence, and there was an indescribable light in those sharp eyes, as if this sentence was pointing him the way and direction.
"Thank you, Liang, my friend, this sentence will benefit me for the rest of my life." Napoleon looked up at Liang Guangcai, who always had a smile on his face, but who could never seem to guess how many wise warnings were still in his head.
"This makes me even more curious about that mysterious and distant East, what kind of country can give birth to such a deep and broad culture." Napoleon had already learned a lot about this mysterious oriental country from Liang Guangcai's mouth, and also knew that this huge nation was currently being ruled by foreign races, but Napoleon firmly believed that if such a brilliant and glorious civilization could be bred in that land, then they would definitely stand up again.
Liang Guangcai has affirmed that in the near future, the Tang people will resume their rule over that land comparable to the whole of Europe, and their leader is none other than Liang Guangcai's cousin: Liang Pengfei.
Liang Guangcai and others came to the West, not only to do business, but also to work hard to collect and learn useful things in Western civilization, and to collect a large number of Western scientific and cultural works, and to recruit outstanding talents to go to the East.
All this, Liang Guangcai, who had already known Napoleon as a lieutenant colonel, did not hide Napoleon's intentions at all, and this sincere and frank Oriental, who was more like a wise man than a top chef, soon won Napoleon's friendship.
"You'll have time to find out, because my cousin is currently in a battle with your Western colonizers, and I'm sure there will be news of it in the near future. At that time, you will be able to understand the explosion that will occur when the peoples of the East wake up from their slumber. Liang Guangcai laughed.
Napoleon leaned back in his chair: "Dear Liang, I do not think that any single country can challenge the whole of Europe alone. Although I admit it, I admire and yearn for the vast empire of the East. ”
"No, honorable general, my cousin is still a pirate so far, but I trust him, and I think he is capable of overcoming any odds." Liang Guangcai immediately retorted: "Before I left for the West, he had defeated the Western pirates who crisscrossed the Strait of Malacca in the East, and had succeeded in turning the Spanish colonial fleet into his spoils of war, and besides, the Spanish Colonial Governor had been forced to cede a large part of the colony as compensation to my cousin after his strength. ”
Hearing Liang Guangcai's words, Napoleon's expression couldn't help but be a little moved, and after taking a puff of a cigarette handed over by Liang Guangcai, he narrowed his eyes that were sharp enough to penetrate people's hearts. "Dear Liang, how come you never told me this news."
Liang Guangcai couldn't help but show a faint smile: "You didn't ask, what is the point if I say it?" ”
"You're right, but is your cousin really just a pirate? In the West, even the most powerful pirates could not force a colonial governor to make such concessions, and although Spain had declined, it was undeniable that their navy was still very strong. "Napoleon, though still young, was a genius, and his keen insight into military affairs allowed him to make the clearest and most precise judgments." Of course, you don't have to lie to me, I'm just curious, what kind of person is your cousin? ”
"This ...... Is there something really hard to describe? This made Liang Guangcai feel a little difficult to answer. Very intelligent, always has different thoughts and ideas, good at motivating the morale of his subordinates, and is very adventurous and determined. Speaking of which, his surname bears a bit like yours, but you're more rigorous and he's more ...... Lively? Liang Guangcai's mind flashed the scene of Liang Yuanxia and Liang Pengfei father and son chattering about cigar ghosts and ghosts worshipping calculating people, and the expressions on their faces became a little strange.
"I wish I could meet your cousin, the person who makes you so complimentary, in my eyes, you are the one who never praises others easily." Napoleon took a deep puff of his cigarette and laughed.
"You and my cousin are the two most optimistic people in my life." Liang Guangcai's expression looked very serious. "My cousin will be the ruler of that Eastern Empire, and you, with all due respect, have the potential to become a leader."
Napoleon's hand that had just picked up the wine glass couldn't help but stiffen, turned his face, and distinguished the expression on Liang Guangcai's face, and then, Napoleon laughed: "Remember the bet we made last time?" ”
"Of course, honorable general, when you were a lieutenant colonel, we had already agreed that if you could become a commander on your own, then I would be your full-time chef." Liang Guangcai laughed.
"No, you'll not just be my full-time chef, but my friend and Oriental consultant, Leung, I say it." Napoleon's eyes were as bright as stars, and he firmly raised the wine glass in his hand, which collided with the wine glass in Liang Guangcai's hand, colliding with a pleasant trill......

"Brother Bao Zai, I want, I want that ......" A runny little fart kid was pulling the handsome young man in front of him in front of him, and pointed to a fruit stall over there, which was full of dragon fruits with red skin and beautiful shapes.
"Okay, my brother will buy it for you later, but now you have to blow your nose first." The young man in the navy uniform had a helpless look on his face, and said warmly to the little guy. Looking at the two green dragons that entered and exited in the nose hole, Zhang Baozai felt that no matter how sweet the fruit was, he didn't have the slightest taste now.
"No, buy it first." The little guy blinked with a pair of big black eyes and a childish cunning.
"You little guy, believe it or not, I'll let my godfather clean you up in a while." Zhang Baozai was angry, his eyes widened, and he shouted at the little guy.
Big eyes blinked: "Buy, otherwise I'll tell my dad that big brother you bully me." ”
"Damn, you little guy, who did you learn from, at such a young age, so insidious." Zhang Baozai scratched his scalp, and it seemed that he had really fallen for his godfather.
"Okay, Xiao Liangbao, the dragon fruit is here, if you want to eat it, then, it's best to listen to your eldest brother, otherwise, I will testify, it was you who deliberately didn't wipe your nose, and when the time comes, whose little ass will be in danger." Next to it, the face of a smiling Western teenager was revealed, with some faint freckles on his face, and a ripe and attractive dragon fruit dangling in his hand.
"......" Liang Bao pursed his lips, then closed his mouth and forced, and the two long dragons rushed out directly. Then he couldn't wait to take the cut dragon fruit, opened his mouth and bit it, and even had some snot before he had time to wipe it off.
"Oh my God...... I don't think it's a good idea for the two of us to bring him out, and I don't have any appetite right now. The Western teenager held his head in his hands, his face was rather pale, and it seemed that the blow was more than he could bear. However, if you don't look at his face and just listen to his voice, his fluent Cantonese will definitely make people think that this is a teenager born and raised in Guangzhou.
"My godfather gave the order, can you not take him out? Godfather too, saying anything to let him go deep into life, I think he just thinks this little guy is too noisy. Zhang Baozai pursed his lips, sighed, took a handkerchief and wiped it for Liang Bao, then raised his head and looked at the Western boy. Little Si Dangdong, let's go drink some mung bean porridge, you know, we have to take this little guy here for an hour before we can go back. ”
"Okay, the mung bean soup that clears the fire and detoxifies, I hope it can make me forget this unpleasant scene just now." Little Staunton shrugged his shoulders and sighed, after the two teenagers glanced at each other, they both saw the helplessness in their eyes, and couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.
"Where's the son?" After taking a bath, Shi Xianggu, who came to the balcony on the third floor, stretched her waist a lot, stretched her curve that was so perfect that the goddess would be jealous, and looked at the platform on the third floor, only to find that except for Pan Bingjie, Maria and a maid who were playing cards, and Liang Pengfei, who was squatting on the edge of the balcony and peeping with a long look, well, watching the beauty of the beach not far away, and the crowd of people playing in the water on the beach, there seemed to be something missing.
"Oh, I let him out, the little guy made a lot of trouble, and the two little guys, Bao Zai and Xiao Si Dangdong, were also idle, so I asked them to take our son to experience life." Liang Pengfei turned his head and saw the wonderful figure of the beauty who came to the balcony on the third floor in a bathrobe, as well as the temptation and charm revealed between the half-concealed and half-hidden, he couldn't help but whistle very rookishly, and then quickly explained.
Hearing the whistle, in exchange for three pairs of beautiful and soft and gentle cute white eyes.
"Rascal, disciple, may God forgive this sinner......" The voices of the three women sounded almost simultaneously.
"Hey, ladies, I'm your husband, and whistling at you means my heartfelt praise for you." Liang Pengfei felt isolated.
