This restaurant, like other restaurants, has a few heavily dressed and gaudy powdered heads standing at the door, laughing with a few unworthy soldiers, and some sailors from Xu's fleet are also having fun here. Even if Wang Hong's identity is to drink flower wine, he must go to that kind of high-grade Qinglou, this kind of goods, even if he is a maid in his house, he is not qualified, so he naturally frowned.

Yang Chengzu had already pulled him in, the room was quiet, only the boss was dozing off on the table, no guests were patronizing here, the men and women who had negotiated the price walked in, walked through the counter and walked back, and they would not stay here. It wasn't until after he sat down that Yang Chengzu whispered: "This hotel is opened by our Yang Ji, and it may be safer here than in the barracks." After all, we can't confirm whether anyone is hiding in the barracks to communicate with the Franc machine. ”

Wang Feng also knew that there had been a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry before, wanting to blow up the gunpowder magazine of the official army, but was arrested by Yang Chengzu's guards. The man was very decisive, and as soon as he was caught, he chewed a poison pill and committed suicide, without revealing any words. However, since this incident, the intensity of precautions in the barracks has also increased a lot, and it is not possible to confirm how many chess pieces those people have in the army for the time being, and the meeting here can be kept secret.

"Cheng Zhai Gong, this Yi City can't last too long. They have no reinforcements outside, and they ...... inside There is almost no food and grass. Yang Chengzu whispered important news.

"This city can survive because the Xu family has brought them a large amount of grain and grass before, and there has always been a tradition of storing grain in the castle, according to the information I have gotten, the grain in the castle can support half a year. They broke through five times, killed more than 300 people, and saved a sum of rations, and if no one destroyed them, their food would indeed last a long time. However, I have eyeliner in the city, and what they do, my people, do it. ”

"Qin Cha is really clever, and the old man admires it, and he actually has his own ears and eyes in Yicheng. Are these people going to poison the grain and grass of Buddha? ”

"That's right, and you don't need to poison them all, it's too difficult. Just poisoning a few bags of grain is enough to make them dizzy. The pillars of their faith are being broken one by one, and it is not far from the collapse of the entire fortress. I don't want to smash Tuen Mun, but I want to do a good job, so the Tuen Mun market has to be started after all. I will send two teams of troops to protect the order of the market and ensure the safety of the merchants, just as the Franc machine man did. In the past, the imperial court had a problem, that is, it only collected money and did not do things, so everyone was dissatisfied with the imperial court. This time, we should make a good start, let the businessman know that after paying the money, he can be protected, and the business will be easy to do in the future. Therefore, even if the battle is over, or if I return to Beijing, the matter of maritime trade must continue. I want the policy of the imperial court, but local affairs need people like Cheng Zhai Gong to do it. ”

Wang Feng was more concerned about the attack on the castle, and compared to the commercial operation, the old man was obviously more interested in military affairs than in maritime trade, and there he was deliberating about what methods the Buddhists should use to deal with the food in the city once the grain in the city was poisoned.

"In fact, the water is more scarce than food, and there may not be a spring in the Buddha City, and even if there is, it will not be able to support so many people. Poison their water, and they really know they can't hold it. ”

Seeing that Yang Chengzu was silent with a smile, he realized something, and hurriedly smiled and apologized, "It's old and decayed, isn't it, everything in this market is arranged by Qincha." In the end, as long as it is beneficial to the country, the old decay will definitely help. ”

Inside the castle, unscrupulous soldiers and pirates gathered in the hall to listen to Perez preach and pray on the second floor. When the lengthy ceremony was completed, Perez said excitedly:

"Brothers, merciful God, bless us, with the blessing of the Lord's might, the weapons of the devil will not be able to harm your body. Now, by God's will, we need some warriors, about sixty to eighty. In order to ensure the success of the operation, I will use the last bottle of holy water, which was given to me by the Pope himself before I set out. Warriors who have been baptized with holy water will not be harmed by the infidel weapons in this breakout. All that you have done for God will be remembered by God, and when you die, your souls will ascend to heaven. Now, all the warriors who are willing to go to the rescue and crusade against the infidels, take a step forward. ”

There was silence below, and unlike the previous ones, no one took the initiative to fight this time. After five complete defeats, even if he took out the holy water, no one was willing to come out and take on this mortal task.

"Fifty gold coins, your reward this time will be fifty gold coins." Several cronies, the cat bent on the waist to put the box over, and the lid of the box was lifted, and the golden light was dazzling. It was full of Portuguese gold coins, and the first few times he only needed to take out thirty gold coins, he could make an experienced warrior willing to take on the task of breaking through, but this time, even if he took out fifty gold coins, there was still silence below, a deathly silence.

Perez, of course, understood the reason for the silence, and within ten days, all five commandos had been wiped out, and not a single one had escaped, which had made the soldiers no longer believe in the breakthrough or the so-called protection of God. Even the fiercest pirates knew that staying in the castle might be waiting for death, but if they left the castle, they would surely die.

"Well, a hundred...... One hundred and twenty! …… Since none of the brothers in Christ are willing to leave the castle and fight the barbarians until the last moment to protect the glory of God, I have decided to respect your choice. Well, let's go back to our combat positions and, as is customary, prepare for rotation. ”

Suddenly, an untimely laugh seemed to go out, so softly that not many people noticed. But Perez still heard the laughter of the owner, "Sister Treti, I think we need to talk, oh, you know, we have some wounded and may need your care, come, let's talk." ”

The two entered Perez's room one after the other, and as soon as Teretti closed the door, a firearm was already on her head. "Listen, my little wildcat, in this castle I have my eyes and ears. Don't try to hide any changes from my eyes and ears! ”

Perez's facial features were a little distorted, and there was a hideous murderous intent in his eyes, "You have often left the castle in the last few nights, and you went to the army of the Ming Dynasty, right?" What do you want to do, dump me and go it alone? Or have you already exchanged me for a good price? ”

Teretti didn't have a fear, just spread his hands, "Bastard, get that thing out of the way, if it goes off, I'm sure someone will smash your head right away." What am I doing? I'm carrying out the Count's orders, and it turns out that I'm much better than you idiot. If it were the way you think, we would have to wait to be hanged in the future, but now, I have found a way to survive. ”

"You've found a way to live? You mean, they agreed to negotiate, right? It must be you, you betrayed me, or rather, you betrayed the Count! You've ruined my whole plan! According to what I think, they will be bleeding under the castle, and this siege, they will not last long, our friends, will cut off the supply of the army, and when the time comes, they will not be able to hold it for the first time. But now, you have betrayed our information, putting me at an absolute disadvantage in the next negotiations! You're a traitor, a cousin who will betray your master as soon as you sleep with a man! ”

Teretti looked at Perez with an innocent face, "Oh? Do you really think so? That's okay, you can shoot, or have someone arrest me, and see if the castle falls first, or if the count loses his patience first. ”

The room fell silent, and the eyes of the two collided in one place, not showing weakness to each other, and it was difficult to distinguish between them in terms of momentum. Perez's arm trembled slightly, and Teretti looked indifferent as if he hadn't seen the gun at all.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and at the same time, the soldier's panicked voice said, "Priest, there is an important situation, can I come in?" ”

Perez put away his gun stupidly, Teretti quickly put on the veil, the door opened, and the soldier reported with a panicked face: there were five people, poisoned and unconscious because of drinking the rationed wine.
