"Hey."

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Qian was still woken up.

The food provided to him in prison did not make him feel full, even a little hungry. A portion of pea soup with only a salty taste and a piece of roast meat only half the size of a palm, the meat was bad, and he gave it to someone else. Another Western man in the cell who also does not gamble.

Opening his closed eyes, Zhao Qian looked at the thing that was thrown at him on the ground, an English penny that had long been rubbed roughly.

"Something?"

He looked at the middle-aged man with a beard in front of him, and clearly remembered that this guy had just been lying on another plank like himself.

Looking at the calluses on one of the joints of the man's fingers, they were hands that were accustomed to short-handled weapons.

"Black baron-to-be, Bartholomew."

The man said his name, but the Parisian nobleman, who had only recently become famous, did not show the same excitement or fear as ordinary people, or even surprise.

Some only have doubts.

The expression on his face seemed to ask, are you famous?

Zhao Qian looked at Bartholomew in front of him, waiting for his next step. Identification is also used at this time.

"Do I look so much like an unknown clown in the eyes of you nobles?"

The nobleman of the pirates was not annoyed by Zhao Qian for not hearing a name that made him proud, as ordinary pirates were, but smiled very self-deprecatingly.

In fact, it is not difficult for anyone who really knows the history of piracy in the Age of Discovery not to know this guy, if there is a man who can really be called the Great Pirate Emperor, except for Henry Morgan, who has now sacked many cities, it is only him. An achievement that has been feared and even adored by no pirate king to date.

In three years, 400 ships were robbed.

But unlike Henry, who was also Welsh, he eventually became the governor of Jamaica, and he was always keen to pirate and plunder until his death.

Although the person in front of him tried to be polite as much as possible, Zhao Qian could still see Bartholomew's former identity from some of this person's actions and words, a low-level British person.

The intonation of a British regional accent shows some of his deeper things.

But Zhao Qian didn't care about this, and let Bartholomew look at him.

"You're going to break from prison?"

The half-breed boy asked, nodding after his whispered question.

"It's just a bit of a coincidence that I got caught, and it just so happened that the bastards under my command got drunk and made trouble in the tavern under the name of the city guard."

He said, with a hint of cunning and treachery in his eyes that only a Welsh thug could have.

Seeing that Zhao Qian didn't mean to speak, he continued.

"And it doesn't seem like anyone has compared me to the black baron-to-be on the wanted papers, because it's so ugly to paint me."

The captain told a sneer that was not funny at all, and the group of gambling there tried to cover for the two of them. In the corridor in the distance, the jailer was eating a barbecue that he didn't know who had bought it, and the smell of meat wafted down the somewhat gloomy aisle into the prison. It made many people swallow their saliva.

"Tell me why, why did you find me?"

Zhao Qian looked at him, and didn't believe what I think you are a talent, and you are doing nonsense with me. This is possible, but it is too rare.

Bartholomew fell silent for a moment, he really didn't expect that the French nobleman in front of him would be so simple and direct, and even his words were a little rude. In the eyes of the nobles with whom he had dealt for a long time, they were all tactful and humorous people.

Although most of them were after they had captured their ships.

"Tell you the truth, sir, though you ruined my preconceived impression of nobility. But I still affirm your attitude. ”

After a pause, the middle-aged Western pirate continued to ramble on a lot.

His plan seemed to be told all at once.

"Our men have bought off the jailers here to give us some freedom, for some unknown reason, and though I'm not sure, they did. Leon, that fool. ”

"So, that makes this plan a little bit smoother and easier, except somewhere."

"We need you, Mr. Fusoth Zhao, for you no longer have a knighthood, so please forgive me for my rudeness. Although we planned to climb the rope down from the back of the prison and let the captain of the Brave who I threatened lend the boat to my men for the night. In fact, that's because we have in our hands evidence that guy is smuggling goods with a military ship. ”

"However, there is no strong man among my people who can compete with the warden."

Facing Zhao Qian's still somewhat puzzled eyes, he spoke, speaking at a speed like a machine gun in the real world.

"Because in this prison, apart from you, there doesn't seem to be a second person who can be vindictive. Including me. ”

"I need you to stop him, according to the general situation, something happened in the prison, and he is definitely the one at the forefront."

"I see."

Zhao Qian replied coldly, and he glanced at the pirate in front of him.

I looked at the people in front of me who were still playing dice, and they seemed to be basically this guy's subordinates, no doubt.

And now, because of these two shackles, he is no different from an ordinary normal person. Since he said it so obviously, it was just a matter of choice, either die or give up his reputation and live.

Yes, at least after Zhao Qian killed Woods, his reputation was still respected and even admired by some people.

Bartholomew seems to want to mentally torture the nobleman in front of him, which can be regarded as a kind of ambivalence for the nobleman who is both yearning and jealous.

But he tortured the wrong person after all, because Zhao Qian didn't seem to be very interested in this thing at all.

"The key to the church's special chains."

He took out a string of metal keys from his bosom and shook it, although he was surprised by the young man's attitude, but he didn't say much.

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

PS: Thank you for the reward from the ten hateful book friends.

Bartholomew's journey is not the same in the Caribbean world as it is in the real world. Show history, he was born in 1682, but in the Caribbean world, by this time, he was already famous.

Also, I'll do something tomorrow, and I'll have some Kavin today. I try to make sure that there are two more. That's all, good night.
