Chapter 62: Cowell's Gratitude

A pirate conspiracy came to an end, and the One-Eyed Pirates were wiped out, leaving the pirate arena with a large group of more than 3,000 people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

While Xu Feng sighed, the boulder hanging in his heart also fell to the ground, hey~ As a member of the glorious pirates, I really hope that there will be no more clowns in the pirates, which will lower the average IQ of the entire pirate force!

……

On the Cowell Mansion in Malacca, at this time, the lights are colorful, as if the New Year is marrying a new daughter-in-law, and there is an endless stream of servants, all of whom are holding all kinds of dishes, and it seems that Cowell is going to hold a grand family banquet.

And Cowell is dressed up at the moment, his hair is combed shiny, and even the wrinkles on the top of his head seem to be carefully dressed, with a few less, and he looks much younger. He did not stay at his mansion, but came to the pier in Malacca again, looking anxiously and eagerly, constantly looking at the distant sea.

……

On Zheng He's treasure ship, the two chairs had changed owners at this time, one was of course the owner of the treasure ship, General Zheng He, and the other was replaced by Xu Feng. In the middle of the chair was a long table with a variety of fruits and tea.

"Report! Lord Qiyu, the post-war statistics have come out. 2,672 enemy pirates were captured, 532 were killed and 127 were missing. 4 medium ships and 11 small ships were captured, and a total of 32 enemy ships were destroyed. In addition, the three Cangshan boats of our army were slightly damaged, and there were no casualties among the whole army. A soldier with a bamboo slip in his hand began to report on the casualties of the battle.

"Haha! Good! This time I was able to win this battle without bloodshed, thanks to the virtuous nephew, you can't drink alcohol during the march, come! Ben will replace the wine with tea, toast you! After listening to the report of his subordinates, General Zheng He was immediately refreshed and picked up the teacup with a smile.

Xu Feng once again faced the embarrassment of drinking or not drinking, but this was General Zheng He's personal toast, how could he not drink it? I had no choice but to pick up the teacup, cover my face with my sleeve, and pour the tea into my storage space.

Putting down the teacup, Xu Feng said politely, "Uncle has a good reputation, and he can achieve such a brilliant result thanks to the foresight of the military advisor and the general himself, and the little nephew really can't help much!" ”

"Hey~~ Virtuous nephews don't have to be humble! You must know that if you hadn't woken up the general, the general would have done something to humiliate the Ming Dynasty! Without your initial reminder, it is more likely that this group of thieves will succeed today, in that way, General Ben will not only die here, but also be worthy of the trust of the Son of Heaven in this general! The virtuous nephew can be called the benefactor of the general! ”

Xu Feng hurriedly waved his hand and stood up. "Don't dare~ Don't dare~ Little nephew doesn't dare to be!"

General Zheng He personally got up and helped Xu Feng back to his seat, "You and my uncle and nephew don't have to be modest, since you call Ben will be uncle, then we can be regarded as a family, between a family, why be polite?" ”

"Yes! Be! Be! The little nephew is too humble! Dare to ask uncle, what will happen to these pirates? Xu Feng led the topic elsewhere, and if he continued to be so modest, he felt embarrassed.

"The general is also worried about this matter, if they are all killed, I am afraid that I will lose a reputation for killing, and it will be bad for the Ming Dynasty to spread out, but I am afraid that these pirates will return to their old business, in case after our army leaves, they will attack the port here, then it will damage the imperial prestige of our Ming Dynasty." Although General Zheng He won a great victory, he really had no problem with these pirates. You must know that he was sent by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to the countries of the Western Regions to deepen or encircle the countries along the way and establish friendly exchanges, instead of coming to burn, kill, loot, and plunder territory.

"Why don't you throw this trouble to the manager of Malacca, and the little nephew believes that the manager will solve the uncle's troubles."

"Brilliant plan! The virtuous nephew is really the blessing of the general! ”

……

"It's coming! Here it comes! From afar, Cowell saw a large number of ships slowly approaching the harbor, and on the high masts hung a flag with a Chinese character written on it, and knew that the person he was waiting for had finally arrived.

As soon as Xu Feng followed General Zheng He off the boat, Cowell immediately greeted him, knelt down directly in front of General Zheng He, and shouted loudly, "Thank you for saving your life!" ”

General Zheng He was dumbfounded, just now he thought that an assassin was going to assassinate him, and he almost didn't pull out the saber at his waist, he turned his head to look at Xu Feng, "Virtuous nephew, what's the matter with this person?" ”

Xu Feng secretly scolded Cowell, a stupid person, how could he come up like this and kneel down without saying a word? Not to mention that Zheng He was blindsided at this time, even Xu Feng, who knew the truth, felt that this move was indeed abrupt.

"Uncle, since this person calls you a savior, then he must be the manager who was held hostage by the one-eyed." Xu Feng immediately explained to General Zheng He.

"Oh! I see, that, who? ~Hurry up, please get up! When General Zheng heard that it was the unlucky manager, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Cowell, who was kneeling on the ground.

Xu Feng quietly walked to Cowell's side and kicked him lightly, "Introduction!" Introduce yourself! ”

"Oh! Oh! The villain's name is Cowell, and he is the administrator of Malacca. Cowell heard Xu Feng's prompt and hurriedly introduced himself.

"Lord Cowell, yes, it doesn't have to be like this, I'm Zheng He from the Ming Dynasty, the current position of a general, passing through here, and I haven't visited yet." Polite words still have to be said, which is enough to reflect that it is not easy for General Zheng to go to the Western Regions, no matter how big an official he meets, he must be polite and not damage the dignity of the Ming Dynasty.

"General Zheng has traveled a long way, and after the war, he must be tired at this moment, the villain has already prepared a banquet in the mansion, and I hope that the adults can deign to go."

"Well said! Say! ”

……

After three rounds of drinking, General Zheng mentioned something about how to settle the bandits during the banquet, "Master Ke, this time Ben Jiang has already wiped out all the pirates, and after repeated investigations, there are no fish that have slipped through the net, but Ben will go far away to the Western Regions, and he has no time to deal with this gang of water thieves, so let's do it, Ben will now give you all the rights to dispose of these people, okay?" ”

"My lord, how does this work? ......" Before Cowell finished speaking, he was kicked in the waist by Xu Feng, almost kicking him off the chair.

"What's not to do?" Fortunately, Xu Feng sat next to Colwell, and he could reach him by raising his feet, otherwise General Zheng would definitely not be able to get off the stage today. Xu Feng picked up the wine glass, came to Cowell's side, and said loudly, "Come!" Come! Lord Cowell, I'm going to give you a drink! ”

Then he whispered in Colwill's ear, "Hurry up and agree, you don't want to die?" Dare to refute General Zheng's meaning? ”

Cowell seemed a little aggrieved and explained in a low voice, "No, I didn't mean that, it's just ......"

"It's nothing more than that, if you say yes, you agree, and the rest will come back to you!" Xu Feng patted Cowell's shoulder to show closeness, and then walked back to his place and sat down.
