Chapter 57: Port of Malacca
"Wow! It's really beautiful here! "Amève. Princess Laqi couldn't help but admire, although Malacca and Manila are not very far apart, but for Ammeve, who is also going out for the first time. For Princess Laqi, as long as it is a different country, different people's customs, and different architectural styles, it will be refreshing to her. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Well, it's okay!" Xu Feng gave a pertinent evaluation, Malacca in this period is not as prosperous as the city in later generations, after all, it is only the beginning of the Age of Discovery, and the port of Malacca is not so world-famous.
Due to Malacca's geographical location, although it belongs to Malaysia, it is not one of the four player ports opened by Malaysia, but a system port, and its main role is to help players supply a transit station.
"First mate Batu, tell all the people on the boat that they can go ashore to rest in shifts, but don't make trouble, if Lao Tzu finds out who dares to cause trouble, then Lao Tzu will throw him into the sea to feed the sharks!" Xu Feng turned around and instructed Batu, and then walked straight into this legendary port with two beauties.
"Dare to ask your lord, is it from Daming?" As soon as Xu Feng entered the port, he was stopped by an aboriginal in gorgeous clothes.
Xu Feng was very strange, his outfit was very different from Huaguo's outfit. Why do people in front of them see at a glance that they are from China? It's not scientific!
As if he saw the doubts of Xu Feng and his party, the man continued to speak, "I see that this young lady's appearance seems to be similar to the characteristics of the Ming people, so I dare to come forward and ask." Xu Feng suddenly realized that the problem was Wang Xiaohua, not himself! I'll just say, with my own amazing disguise technique, how can people easily see the history?
"Not bad! We came all the way from the Ming Dynasty! Is there anything stopping us? Since he was seen by others, Xu Feng admitted it calmly, anyway, he was just an NPC, so what's the big deal about telling him?
"Sure enough! Then may I ask if you were an official in the Ming Dynasty? The man continued to ask.
Xu Feng shook his head and said that he was not an official.
The man's expression seemed a little disappointed, but it disappeared in an instant, and it was replaced by a smiling face again, as if the disappointed expression had never appeared. "My lord, can you come to the house to talk about it?"
With Xu Feng's reading skills in his previous life for decades, how could he not see the change in the expression on this person's face? I know in my heart that this person seems to be looking for someone who was an official in the Ming Dynasty to ask for something, and he should be regarded as a spare tire, right?
Curiosity still prompted Xu Feng to agree to this person's invitation, and Xu Feng wondered the most, why did this aboriginal look for people from the Ming Dynasty? It's not close to Huaguo.
Following this person, Xu Feng and his entourage came to a fairly atmospheric mansion, with high walls and large doors, and guards guarding the door, it seems that this person's identity is not simple.
"Your Excellency, please be seated, come on! Serve tea, tell the kitchen, prepare the meal quickly, and say that there are distinguished guests in the house! The man grovelled and invited Xu Feng to take a seat, and then ordered his housekeeper to start preparing lunch.
This should be the hall of deliberations, Xu Feng looked up and down, and said politely, "This adult doesn't have to be busy, please say anything about it, and those who can help in the next will definitely not refuse!" ”
"Don't dare to be an adult, just call me Vicor, I'm the manager of this city, but it used to be, hey~ Now it's just a common man who still has a little money!" Cowell's mouth was full of bitter water, and his expression and demeanor were comparable to the legendary Dou E in Huaguo.
Xu Feng didn't call Cowell by his name. At the very least, basic politeness must be there, "If there is a place that can be used by adults, please speak directly." ”
Cowell respectfully took the teapot from the hand of the house slave and personally gave it to Xu Feng, Wang Xiaohua and An Meifu. Princess Laki poured her tea and asked carefully, "I haven't asked for your name yet." ”
Xu Feng looked at the tea placed on his table a little embarrassed, and wanted to bring it up, but he couldn't drink it, but if he didn't drink it, he felt very rude. This is equivalent to giving yourself a dismount!
Wang Xiaohua and Amève. Princess Laqi seemed to know Xu Feng's embarrassment at this time, and couldn't help but smile at each other, and then drank the tea beautifully, and couldn't stop praising the mellow fragrance and pleasant fragrance of this tea.
Is it really that good? Xu Feng was very skeptical. Wang Xiaohua is the daughter of a big family in China, and she can drink good tea in the past. Has Princess Laqi also drunk Huaguo's superb tea? This is really possible, who made the family a princess!
Xu Feng covered it with the hem of his clothes, then took a sip in his dress, put down the teacup, and replied. "Xu Feng, a businessman from China. It's not an adult, so Lord Cowell should just call him by his name! ”
Cowell suddenly knelt down in front of Xu Feng, which surprised Xu Feng, and before Xu Feng could react, Cowell cried directly aggrievedly, "My lord, please save my life!" ”
Xu Feng couldn't figure out what the situation was, it was fine just now, why did it suddenly become a bitter drama? Quickly stood up, stretched out his hands and helped Cowell, who was kneeling on the ground with old tears, "Lord Cowell, if you have something to say, why bother?" How are you so, let in the next how is it good? ”
Cowell regained his emotions and began to recount a tragic experience.
……
It was an early winter night~ Uh, far away, in fact, a few months ago, the manager of Malacca, Cowell, was captured by a pirate gang called One-Eyed, and Colwell was reduced to a prisoner. I thought that this group of pirates would leave after plundering, but who would have thought that they would occupy the land and use Malacca as their base camp. Cowell wanted to cry without tears. The saddest thing is that the pirate leader named One-Eyed knew that he could not manage the port, so he released Cowell and acted as a puppet, completely following One-Eye's orders.
Cowell was forced by the threat of one eye, so he was willing to be a puppet, but he had to pay a lot of tribute to this greedy pirate on a regular basis.
In fact, Cowell is not willing to persecute the people, but he is really helpless, if he can't deliver enough money on a regular basis, then the fierce pirate One-Eye will definitely kill him all over the house.
