"Protect, Brother Fernando, be careful that your words are protection, not surveillance, otherwise, do you think that by your actions, Princess Maria will trust and love you as always? And the Western monks in the East, will they still envy you as always? ”

Liang Pengfei's every sentence was like a hammer, smashing Fernando's heart, horror and despair, tangled in his old chrysanthemum face...... "The businessman's name is Freud, he is Dutch, he is in the textile and tea business, he returned to the Netherlands three years ago, and now he has not returned to Macau, but the Dutch businessman has a mistress in Macau and has given birth to a child." Bai Shusheng added very attentively beside him. His wife, Liba. Haggart Danish, the two have been married for twenty years, but this lady is unable to have children......"

Not far away, Sun Shijie's hand wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, and his eyes fell from the face of the eloquent white scholar to Liang Pengfei's face, he couldn't have imagined that Liang Pengfei could find out the relevant information around Fernando in such a short time, what a terrifying means.

Liang Pengfei seemed to feel his gaze, raised his head, smiled at Sun Shijie gently, and then continued to look at Fernando, whose sweat was like a stream.

Sun Shijie was extremely glad that he didn't have any disagreement with Liang Pengfei, otherwise, maybe he would have become a fertilizer in the vegetable furrow outside the camp of the Xin'an Water Division.

Hearing what Bai Shusheng said, Fernando was completely desperate, what Bai Shusheng said was completely true, and even some things that he didn't know, Bai Shusheng told it as if he was endorsing it.

Thinking that if this matter was exposed, then what awaited him was not only ruined, but also the blood-dripping instruments of the dark and gloomy Inquisition was his final destination, and Fernando sat down in his chair as if he had lost all support, his dull eyes desperate and helpless.

"Brother Fernando, let's have some tea first, it's good for you." Liang Pengfei pushed a cup of hot tea to Fernando's side, and watched the old man whose hands were shaking like a stroke for a long time before he put his mouth to the edge of the tea bowl, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but subconsciously show a trace of a vicious and sinister smile.

Fernando, whose eyes were as dull as a dead donkey, seemed to react after pouring a large sip of hot tea, and spit out all the hot tea in one fell swoop, jumping with his teeth and claws, Liang Pengfei shook his head, and looked at this old guy who seemed to have suddenly returned to the light with pity.

After taking a cup of cold water handed over by Bai Shusheng and drinking it all in one gulp, Fernando, who had a hot mouth, finally recovered a little energy, turned around, and looked at Liang Pengfei who was sitting on a chair chattering and smiling with a cigar.

"Your Excellency, what do you need me to do? As long as I don't betray Spain and don't go against God's will, I'm even willing to give my life for you. Fernando bent down to Liang Pengfei with great humility, if it weren't for the space in the cabin, Liang Pengfei suspected that this guy would even be willing to lie down and kiss his stinky feet in a five-body posture to show his loyalty to himself.

"Of course, dear Fernando, my old friend, I hope to gain your friendship and loyalty, not fear and despair. At this point, you can rest assured, don't forget, just now, I said protection, as long as you are willing to accept my friendship, then, I believe that there will be a lot of things between us that are beneficial to both sides to cooperate, mutually beneficial cooperation. You know, those who cooperate with me will get rich rewards, and you should be able to feel it. Liang Pengfei meant something authentic.

Fernando was silent, the bald head of the thief glittered in the light, he really knew very well that if there was no material support provided by Liang Pengfei, how could he have enough money to buy such a luxurious villa in Macau, and that money was exactly what Liang Pengfei promised at the beginning, as long as he could persuade Sister Maria to stay on King of Crabs Island, he could get a rich return, he did it, but Fernando never thought that that money was like a bottomless trap, Let him stumble and fall in.

“…… In fact, my request is very simple, I ask you to persuade for me the Spanish soldiers who are still on King of Crabs Island to follow me into battle and attack Annam at the right time. ”

"Annan?" Fernando blinked his triangular eyes, and under those drooping eyelids were a pair of shrewd and greedy eyes. "Your Excellency, are you talking about the country of Annam, which signed the Treaty of Versailles with France?"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Seeing Liang Pengfei's head nodded, Fernando couldn't help but gasp: "This is impossible, dear General, it's not that I don't want to help you, and this is really impossible, even if I promised you, but those soldiers who defend the honor and dignity of the country will definitely not do such a thing, you must know that we Spain and France are allies, and we cannot anger the powerful France at this time, whether it is in Europe or here." ”

Liang Pengfei looked at this shrewd and cunning old jackal with a smile on his face, and slowly raised a finger: "First, we don't recognize Nan Ruan as the orthodoxy of Annam, besides, Nan Ruan has always been only a part of Annam, second, and the Treaty of Versailles, France did not implement it at all, and what came to Annam was just a group of mercenaries hired by the French missionary Bai Duolu, third, I asked you to help me, not to let them go to battle with the French head-on, I can guarantee that the place they attacked, There will never be a single French citizen. ”

Liang Pengfei patted his chest and looked so confident, but the bad water in his stomach was like a vast sea that could sail. "If Lao Tzu doesn't let the French know that you are Spaniards and have ghosts, and don't let you Europeans have more misunderstandings, how can Lao Tzu profit from it?"

"But France will eventually know that there are Spaniards there." Fernando breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was still quite hesitant.

"What's wrong with the appearance? Could it be that you Spain have never been bothered by French pirates? Liang Pengfei couldn't help laughing, laughing extremely arrogant and arrogant, and the ash of the cigar in his hand fell on the board, revealing the cigarette butt that flashed with a strange red light.

"And one more point, don't forget, dear Fernando, have you forgotten how many times your kingdom has been used by your ally France? Don't you want to make a trick in the dark and put bad medicine? "Liang Pengfei is like a demon who tempts people to sin, and is luring people step by step into the abyss of sin.

"Don't tell me that Spain's friendship with France is indestructible, more inseparable than loyal love. You Europeans advocate profit, and in front of profit, everything can be discounted into a commodity. Liang Pengfei's big hand gently patted Fernando's shoulder, his tone was so gentle, but his words pierced his heart.

"Well, I'm willing to convince them for you, but, as you said, I really can't convince the soldiers without enough benefits." Fernando raised his eyes and looked at Liang Pengfei in front of him.

He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to give up his position, not to mention that he didn't want to give up the good and happy life he had now, in Europe, he was just an ordinary missionary, even if he became a teacher of Her Royal Highness the Princess, it was difficult to bring substantial benefits except to make others respect him a little more.

And he came to the East, after that terrible storm, after meeting this Oriental man, he found that his life was full of excitement, yes, wandering on the edge of life and death, the same rich reward allowed him to taste the best Bordeaux red wine, live in a luxurious garden villa, and chat with the beautiful lady about life and ideals, all of which were buried in the deepest part of his heart**, he never thought that there would be a day when he could be realized.

Wealth is the tool that can corrupt people's hearts the most, greed is also the greatest wish, and these two things are wandering in Fernando's soul, while Liang Pengfei has the power and ability to fulfill his two wishes.

"Of course, dear Brother Fernando, oh no, you should be called Monsieur Fernando, and I think that your intellect should be used in politics, and not exclusively in the service of the Lord who is omnipotent, but who is capable of nothing." Liang Pengfei snapped his fingers, and Monk Chen responded, holding a golden tray in his hand, in which was placed a bottle of French Bordeaux red wine and three crystal clear tall glasses.

Sun Shijie respectfully took a glass of this incomparably precious wine syrup in the eyes of Westerners, sniffing the faint sour and astringent taste, and couldn't understand why Fernando looked at the red wine in the glass as if he was looking at the lover of his dreams.

"May our friendship endure, and in the same way, may we always maintain this beautiful and harmonious partnership." Liang Pengfei and Fernando clinked glasses, and the glass made a crisp and pleasant sound.

"I sold my soul to this devil in exchange for luxurious material comforts, God, will forgive me, a sinner with a weak will......" Fernando's face was filled with unspeakable sadness, and he closed his eyes and drank this cup of bitter wine that seemed to be incomparably delicious.

Liang Pengfei winked at Sun Shijie, and his seemingly naughty expression made Sun Shijie feel that his mood at the moment was incomparably similar to Fernando, but he seemed to be a little willing. "Maybe only such a person can become the hero of the world." Tasting the bitter foreign wine, Sun Shijie thought so.
