"There are broken ship planks in the sea, and there seem to be people!" The observation post on the mast suddenly shouted loudly, and pointed straight to the distance on the port side of the ship...... Liang Pengfei heard the call of the observation post, his eyebrows were together, he stepped on the high place of the bow of the ship in two steps, took the monocular from Lu Yuan's hand and looked up, and sure enough, on the dark sea in the distance, there were a few fragments that could be discerned by the naked eye, and there were figures waving weakly with their arms raised.

"Lean in, save people!" Liang Pengfei shouted. The sailors immediately turned the rudder and drove the ship in the direction indicated by the observation post.

After the ship sailed closer, Liang Pengfei saw the figure floating on the sea with the broken ship board, and couldn't help but be stunned, it was actually three Westerners, one of whom seemed to be unknown.

"Help!" The familiar Spanish language made Liang Pengfei feel ridiculous, his trip to sea was because of the hostility of the Spanish governor, and now, the person he was going to save was a Spaniard, I have to say that the wonder of life is really unpredictable.

"Master, it's the Spaniards, shall we save it or not?" At this time, Lu Yuan walked to Liang Pengfei's side. Liang Pengfei said with a smile: "We are merchant ships now, not pirates, they are just victims of three shipwrecks, so naturally we have to save them." ”

Lu Yuan nodded, raised his hand and waved, and several sturdy figures were like flying fish in the sky, drawing a beautiful curve and plunging into the sea of Bidefu.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

When all three of them were rescued on the ship, one of them had a white foolish head scratched out of the top of his head, and Liang Pengfei understood the identity of this guy: a missionary, but now the missionary in his early fifties is being rescued by pirates from a drowning man.

And one of them was a woman, but he was protected behind him by the only sober middle-aged man, and a pair of eyes vigilantly looked at the crowd around him, and saw these strong sailors with a fierce intent in his eyes, he intentionally or unintentionally protected the angry figure of a surname who was still lying unconscious on the ground, like a man who wanted to protect his concubine.

"Which of you knows Spanish? French? Or English? This portrait is a bit like the Spanish football superstar Raul that Liang Pengfei saw in the later generations, squeezed out a grateful smile, and used three languages in a row to ask Liang Pengfei and others.

"Bai Shusheng, talk to him in Xiban and see if you can come up with something." Liang Pengfei exhorted the white scholar beside him in Chinese. Although Bai Shusheng didn't understand why the young master did this, he still did it.

When I asked, I learned that he was a Spanish lieutenant colonel officer named José García Márquez. They actually made the long journey from the Holy See to Rome missionaries and nuns to Macao. He was a Spanish officer who had been ordered to escort them to Macao, but after being caught in a storm, he struggled and drifted on the sea for a day and a night, and the nun fainted due to exhaustion.

Don't listen to Bai Shusheng's translation, Liang Pengfei, who is proficient in several foreign languages, almost laughed out loud, this thing really treats these people as fools, when did the Spanish officer become a bodyguard for the Holy See, if he claimed to be a Swiss mercenary, Liang Pengfei might not believe his identity.

Of course, Liang Pengfei's face did not show the slightest expression, but he listened to Bai Shusheng's translation with a puzzled expression and pretended to say: "We are maritime merchants of the Great Qing Kingdom, we are going to Luzon Island in the south to do business, if you want, we can give you a ride." ”

Bai Shusheng translated to the Spanish officer in his Cantonese English again, and sure enough, the Spanish officer's face showed joy: "Thank God, this is wonderful, Oriental, I am very grateful for your gentlemanly behavior, when you come to Luzon, I will definitely ask the governor of Luzon to pay you richly, but now, this nun is too weak, she needs a room to rest." ”

"I can fulfill your request, monk, and let them give up a room." Liang Pengfei turned his head and glanced at Monk Chen, and after lowering his voice a little and admonishing him, Monk Chen nodded knowingly and immediately went to make arrangements.

At this time, after the missionary vomited a lot of seawater, he finally opened his eyes with difficulty, and after Lieutenant Colonel Jose let him understand that the people around him were Chinese, he said Chinese in a strange tone of foreigners, and Liang Pengfei couldn't help but be curious, knowing that there are really few gringos who know Chinese these years.

As soon as Liang Pengfei inquired, he learned that there was a French missionary named Chinnicklet who had come to China, and he was a China expert. In 1626, he wrote a book entitled "Western Confucianism", in which he accurately recorded the pronunciation of Chinese characters for the first time in the Latin alphabet. During his time in China, he became acquainted with Han Yun, Wang Zheng and others, and with their help, he compiled China's first Latinized Pinyin Character Dictionary on the basis of the Western book "The Miracle of Western Characters" written by Matteo Ricci and other missionaries in Chinese.

And this Spanish missionary named Fernando Alonso learned Chinese through the Latinized Pinyin dictionary circulated in the hands of this missionary, which made Liang Pengfei have to marvel at this Fernando's linguistic talent.

After Fernando thanked Liang Pengfei and the others for their rescue in his somewhat strange Chinese, he and Lieutenant Colonel Jose carefully carried the nun, whose face was covered by blonde hair, into the room that Monk Chen had prepared for them.

Liang Pengfei followed beside him reverently, and wanted to lift up the blonde hair that covered the nun's face several times to see what this Western girl looked like, but in front of everyone's eyes, he was really a little embarrassed to start, so he had to give up stupidly.

"Young master, I think there's a problem." Bai Shusheng looked at the two people who looked a little ghostly, and whispered to Liang Pengfei.

"Nonsense, a nun, a monk, actually needs a Spanish officer to escort him to Macau, this is, just now the nun and the missionary were unconscious, but the Spanish lieutenant colonel was only nervous about the nun, what does this mean? Either these two people have a love affair, or they have an inside affair. Liang Pengfei, who had a crooked mind, sniffed. Keep an eye on Lao Tzu, from now on, even if they fart, they have to tell me what they mean. ”

"......" Bai Shusheng rolled his eyes with a black line, nodded helplessly, and beckoned two pirates who knew Spanish to come over and whisper, and then the three of them also walked off the deck.

"Young Master, these three people seem to have some unknown origins, we are going to King Crab Island now and take them on the road, is this appropriate?" Lu Yuan frowned and made a suggestion.

Liang Pengfei smiled: "It's okay, this time it was the Spanish governor of Luzon who came to attack my King Crab Island, so it's not bad to bring them to King Crab Island as well, when the time comes, maybe this Spanish lieutenant colonel can still be of some use, before that, just watch them carefully, and try to find out what is better." ”

Lu Yuan nodded silently and decided to listen to Liang Pengfei's opinion. He also silently watched everything the young master had done since these days, and he understood that the young master in front of him was no longer the young man who only knew how to do anything, and he had his own decision in his heart.

At dinner time, Bai Shusheng walked into Liang Pengfei's cabin, his face was a little depressed: "Young master, the little ones have been eavesdropping for a long time, but the sound of their conversation is too quiet, so they haven't been able to find anything useful." ”

Lying on the table, comparing the charts that he had plundered from the Spaniards and the British last time, Liang Pengfei, who was making new charts, raised his head according to his memory: "What did you hear?" ”

"The nun seems to have woken up not long after entering the cabin, and the three of them seem to be discussing something, only to hear something that disobeys the king's orders, Her Royal Highness the princess or something, that's probably all." Bai Shusheng frowned, trying his best to recall the information he had heard.
