"In fact, Hongwu and the eight ship mothers have no contract. Or so far, we don't know if Hongwu and the others will be bound by the contract! In a very low voice, Mr. Wan told Carl the powerful news that was enough to shake the faith of the entire Asian theater.
"Wh... What?! Carl looked at Mr. Wan with a shocked expression.
Mr. Wan looked at the shocked Carl and nodded slowly. He continued to say to him, "Karl, don't be unbelieving. I dare vouch for everything I said in my capacity as Governor General of the Asian Theater of Operations! No one knows whether these eight ship girls in the Asian theater can be contracted or not. ”
“。。。 It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that the impact of this information is too great. With all due respect, Mr. Wan, you don't want to shirk your responsibilities, do you? Carl said in a somewhat unkind tone for a while.
This is normal, and in his education he was constantly told that the people who came into contact with him had a purpose. Whether the purpose is good or bad, there is a purpose in the end.
Therefore, this is why he easily accepted the ship's mother. Because what he feels from these ship girls is only simple and unpretentious emotions. So he trusted these shipwives almost without hesitation, and regarded them as his relatives.
Mr. Wan smiled bitterly and said to Carl, "Your Excellency Carl, do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you?" Whether it is for public or private purposes, or from the perspective of my own interests or the interests of the entire Asian theater, I cannot find any reason to do so. This kind of evasive behavior will not win your favor at all, but will also cause you to feel bad about me and the Asian theater. Why should I do it? ”
"But what you said is too unbelievable, Mr. Wan! I remember the chief told me that no matter what time the shipwrecks were, the core of them was the contract. And now you actually tell me Miss Hongwu, they don't know if there is a contract? Mr. Wan, there's no like you! Carl looked at Mr. Wan with a suspicious face and said.
“。。。 Well, okay, believe it or not. But I dare to guarantee with my life and the reputation of the Asian theater that there really is no one who knows whether Hongwu can be contracted or not. Maybe there is, maybe not. Who knows! Mr. Wan sighed and said to Carl.
Seeing Mr. Wan so calm, it was Carl who made a difficulty. Because reason told him that Mr. Wan was not lying to him. But emotionally and his previous experiences on this planet had taught him that it was a fantasy.
"This..." Carl couldn't help but make a mistake, he looked at Mr. Wan with a puzzled face, and then at Hongwu and them.
"Hongwu! Have you had enough trouble now? I've been persuading you countless times, can you not do this kind of thing all the time? Ancestors, this really makes me really embarrassed! This time, Carl is still good-tempered, if he encounters those bad-tempered ones, I'm afraid he won't immediately start a war with our Asian theater! Mr. Wan instead began to advise Hongwu and the others.
"Wan Aiqing, what are you afraid of? Haven't I and my daughters always been like this? After so many years, who dares to eat the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard to start a war with me? I am a country! The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! It's a great blessing for me to play with them, and most people don't have that blessing if they want to play with me! Daughters, don't you say? Hong Wu put away his joking appearance and said to Mr. Wan arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, my fathers! Please, the next time you play with someone, you can also distinguish who you are, okay? It's a good thing Carl's fiancée didn't come this time, otherwise, I'm afraid you would have already started to have a confrontation with Mai Mang by now... Mr. Wan said to Hongwu with a wry smile on his face.
However, for Mr. Wan's words, Hong Wu is completely the attitude of the left ear in and the right ear out. When she heard that Carl had a fiancée, she immediately leaned up to him with a gossip on her face and asked, "Hey! Young man, look at your young age, you haven't been married until now? How old are you? Why not get married? Don't you know that in today's world, only population is the most important? I remember that the age of marriage for all men except the Admiral has been lowered to sixteen, right? Only the girls are still eighteen years old. At the same time, if the man and woman are not married by the age of 20, the government will start forcibly marrying. If they don't get married, the board and the fine will be on them. Right? Yongle? ”
After speaking, she also specially asked Yongle, the most knowledgeable of her daughters.
"Your Excellency the Mother Emperor, according to the laws of the Great Ming Dynasty, this is indeed the case." Yongle bowed and replied.
"So boy, who is your fiancée? What is the appearance? Bad conduct? Would you like me to give you some advice? Hong Wu leaned in front of Karl and said.
"Miss Hongwu, we really don't know each other! As soon as you came up and made such a fuss, do you still think I will have a good communication with you? To tell you the truth, Miss Hongwu, my only thought now is for you to leave with your daughters as soon as possible. It's better that I take advantage of the time I live in the Asian theater of operations and never see each other again! Carl looked at the familiar Hongwu in front of him with a headache and said.
"Eh, eh! Don't do that, boy! We are all descendants of Yan Huang, at least a few of us can be regarded as people of the same race. Isn't there an old saying? When the fellow sees the fellow, the tears are full of eyes! You see that our mother and daughter are now fellow countrymen with you, and our tears of emotion have come out. Boy, don't you express your feelings? Hong Wu didn't care about Carl's previous words, and tried to make eye contact with him on tiptoe.
However, Carl is 1.9 meters tall, and Hongwu's height is less than 1.7 meters, which is about 1.68 meters. No matter how much she tried to keep her eyes on Karl, it was too hard to do that when she was wearing only platform boots and no heels.
"Really! I have never been the only one who looks down on others, and no one else looks down on me! Not to mention that I'm still a lady, you're really rude, young man! Hongwu tried several times but couldn't do it, and couldn't help but complain to Carl.
"Wait for Miss Hongwu, could you please tell me a question? If you're willing to tell me the answer to your question, I'd be more than happy to lower my height to the same height as you. Karl suddenly remembered something and said to Hongwu.
"Young man, what you're asking is if I have a contract with my daughters, right? Then I can tell you very clearly, no! Who are I and my daughters? Emperor! How could the Son of Heaven be bound by some Rausch contract! Hongwu didn't care about telling Carl about this theoretically top secret information.
