After talking to the three Carlos brothers for a while, Francisco said goodbye and left, the first time they had a local Portuguese in Mozambique, so he came to say hello. Later, Francisco became the chairman of the world's most famous coffee and beverage chain, but that was ten years later.

The three brothers tasted the coffee that Francisco had brought from South America, but except for Deco, Julio and Figo were in a heavy mood. At this time, the marines were driven out of the barracks, and the cavalry infantry was equipped with 75mm guns and 60mm mortars, plus air support from airships. This battle was hardly a suspense for the Portuguese landlords, who were still lined up with guns and commanded by a military band, even against the armed forces of the Portuguese landowners, who had no chance of victory for Napoleon's army fifty years earlier.

Although the three Carlos brothers did not know how powerful the Marines were, they at least had eyes and knew how to compare. The Carlos family also has their own armament, but it is okay to use it against wild beasts and black tribes, but resisting the Marines on the battlefield is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

"Should we give some news to the Leo family and the Bruno family?" Figo frowned.

Deco raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and he also knew in his heart that his family was inextricably linked with the Leo family and the Bruno family, his mother was the daughter of the Bruno family, and his aunt was also married to the Leo family.

Unexpectedly, it was Julio who directly opposed Figo, and said, "What if we pass on the news to them?" Haven't you heard that our Carlos family already has the title of rebel in the mouths of all the big landed families? ”

"This ......" Figo was stunned, of course he knew the news. The day after the family meeting, the Leo family and the Bruno family came to the door, but Tiyì, who joined forces in the rebellion, was rejected by his father. Figo also knew that he was acting rashly at this time, so he gradually regained his composure and did not speak again.

The Marines passed by the main road outside the café, cheering and exuberant voices of newcomers from the Northeast and native Africans.

"Let's go back and report to my father." Julio said at this time.

Figo then stood up, but Deco sat still, and in Julio and Figo's surprised eyes, Deco smiled, "You guys go back first, I made an appointment with Rui." ”

Julio glanced at him and said, "Alright then, let's go back first." ”

After the two left, Deco sat for a while, and for half an hour disappeared with the coffee in his cup, when a tall white man walked in. When I went up to the second floor, I saw Deco, smiled freely, and said, "Deco, why did you make an appointment with me in the café?" I think the bar is a bit more suitable for me. ”

Deco looked at him, shook his head, and said helplessly: "What time are you drinking?" Be careful, they've decided to banish you, and you're sneaking back now, and if they find out, it won't work against you. ”

The white man didn't care at all, he was Rui Costa, casually sat across from Deco, shrugged, and sneered, "Not good for me? They can survive the guns of the Northeast Marines, and then think about what to do with me. ”

"You have a lot of confidence in Tohoku?" Deco laughed.

Rui smiled mysteriously, looking at Deco across the table, before leaning back on the back of the wooden chair.

"I'm a native of the Northeast Autonomous Region now, do you think I have confidence in them?"

This was a surprise to Deco, "How can this be? ”

"I was deported and exiled by them, and then to India, then to Vietnam, and finally to the Northeast. However, when I passed through Southeast Asia, I did not know that I had contracted a local infectious disease, and it was only when I came to Northeast China that I became ill. If it hadn't been for the efforts of the local medical staff, I would have died. Rui said this without the slightest self-pity at all, with a light breeze of the passage of time. Even Deco, who knew him very well, was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he saw his old friend's disdain. He thought that Rui would endure hardship, who could not endure hardship in his whole life in these years, but the experience of almost being a human being in two lives still made him hard to believe.

"Why didn't you ask me for help when you left?" Deco looked at him, a little grumbling.

"Looking for you?" Rui smiled bitterly: "Don't look at your Carlos family is very strong, but you are not the heir of the family after all, I don't want to cause trouble for you." ”

"And you're now?"

"What do you say you do for a living?" Rui smiled: "I am now from the Northeast, and I came back with the fleet. Now I am working for them, although the salary is not very good, but the money is not a problem to support the family and want to drink a glass of spirits in the evening. ”

After saying that, Rui laughed, he didn't say anything about his specific job, and Deco looked at him with a somewhat complicated look. Although Rui's appearance has not changed much compared to more than ten years ago, if not different, it is only much more mature than before. But Deco felt that even if Rui sat across from him, he was still very far away, and he was no longer the reckless man he knew more than ten years ago.

"Regarding the fact that you made the mother and daughter of Valejo's family pregnant at the same time, after you left, I secretly checked and found that you were framed."

"Oh? Yes......" Rui laughed and said, "Deco, I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed when you say this. I thought I would kill two birds with one stone, but I didn't expect it...... Failure, failure! ”

Deco also laughed, this thing is really heartless.

"They all had big bellies back then, did they have my children?" Rui rarely stopped laughing.

"Yes, the baby in Valejo's daughter's womb is yours."

"Boy, girl?"

"Girl." Deco replied.

"Where are you now?" Rui had a rare hint of nervousness.

"Rest assured, I adopted her. Her name is Jill, when are you going to see her? ”

Rui nodded.

After sitting in the café for a while, Rui and Deco went to the Rainbow Thirteen Bar in Maputo, which serves famous wines from all over the world, as well as local Mozambican wines. The tavern was opened by an old man of British descent, who worked in the Northeast Qichang Foreign Company in his early years, and later returned to his hometown of Portsmouth and found that his wife had run away with someone. His family didn't have a good impression of him, and later changed his nationality in a fit of anger. Now he has married another daughter-in-law, who is younger than him and not good-looking, but she lives a real life.

The old man was obviously familiar with Rui, and when he saw that it was him, he laughed, "You kid came early today." ”

Rui also grinned and said, "Boss, are they here?" ”

"I'm here, I'm waiting impatiently."

Deco didn't say anything on the side, Rui obviously wanted to introduce someone to him,

Rui led Deco into the backyard of the tavern, a small two-story building, but in the middle of the surrounding buildings, it looked unremarkable. Rui led Deco into the small building, and then stopped outside a room, knocking on the door in a strange way, first three long and one short, then three short and one long, and finally striking a strange rhythm.

After waiting for a long time, the door was opened. The one who opened the door was a Qing countryman, but he didn't have braids, he was around thirty years old, and his temperament was calm. In addition to him, there were two other people in the house. One of them was white, and he looked like a middle-aged German, reading something. The other person, also a Qing national, in his fifties, saw Rui enter the house and nodded at him. The room was a little dark, and although the windows were open, the curtains were drawn. Sunlight can only occasionally enter the house by taking advantage of the gap in the curtains that the wind blows. The atmosphere is not oppressive, but it is somewhat mysterious.

"This is my brother, Deco."

Rui gave the three of them a salute when he entered the door, but when he saw this, Deco was shocked. Because of this kind of gifting, he has seen it - the military salute of the Northeast.

The Qing man who opened the door smiled, and he was the most enthusiastic inside.

"Hello, I'm a mouse."

"Hello."

Deco was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that the name of the Northeast people is really strange. At this time, the other old man of Qingguo smiled and said, "Old Dragon." ”

"Hello."

After the two of them finished introducing themselves, the middle-aged white man who seemed to have some Germanic blood put down his work, and his voice did not have the slightest emotional color, and said, "Northern Tiger." ”

Deco was a little confused, and had no idea what was going on. Rui arranged him in the seat next to him, and the mouse gave him a cup of tea, not black tea, but green tea, which Deco thought he was not used to, and it should be said that he had never been used to it in his life, especially the strange bitter and grassy taste. But today is obviously different, this tea into his mouth, he didn't even feel the slightest. When he put down the teacup, he realized that his palms were covered with sweat.

Mouse, Old Dragon, and Northern Tiger all stopped talking, and Rui smiled at this time: "Deco, didn't you ask me what I do in the coffee shop?" I can tell you right now, I'm working for the Northeast Intelligence Agency. ”

"Then you ...... today," Deco's words were a little slurred.

"Don't worry, we're not trying to pull you in, and we don't want you to be embarrassed." Rui smiled: "I know that you went to school in Europe, studied economic management, and did business. And our Northeast Intelligence Agency has some business in Mozambique that needs to be taken care of, although the bureau doesn't care much about the profits of these businesses, but it's better not to lose money. ”

At this time, Beihu handed him a roster with the names of some businesses.

"Deco, there are no shops and factories here, and I want you to help us extend these deals. When the time comes, you can take half of the profit. I don't know, would you like to? ”

It was only then that Deco understood Rui's intentions, which was to give himself a way to make a fortune. After reading the entire list, Deco nodded with a twist.

Seeing that Deco agreed, Lao Long smiled and said: "Very good, we in the Northeast will never treat those who help us badly, this is a cashier's check of Dashang Bank, which contains the funds you used to start a business." ”

When Rui left the Rainbow Thirteen Tavern with Deco, it took Deco a long time to stop Rui and say, "Why do you help the newcomers?" ”

Rui turned around, looked at Deco, and said word by word: "Because I am from the Northeast Autonomous Region, and I want to remind you, brother!" As long as you, and your family, still want to live on Mozambican soil, then you are from the Northeast. If you have two hearts, you won't end well. If you want to understand the meaning of my words, you can understand it by going to the Northeast itself. ”

Deco's eyes were complicated, but he finally said, "Thank you." Later, after thinking about it, he said, "If you have time, go and see Jill, and let her know that she is not an orphan." ”
