Chapter 35: Undercurrents

The rain is getting heavier.

The two men were gone.

Zhao Qian also woke up half of his wine because of the scene just now.

Getting up, he turned around and wanted to leave, only to find a person standing behind him. A woman with a beautiful figure.

The lightning flashed, his pupils shrank, and Zhao Qian looked at the woman who had been saying that she wanted to sign a station contract with him.

"You ......"

The long sword had already appeared in his hand unconsciously, and the wound on his hand had already healed.

"You should thank me."

Merlin said, as she walked towards the newcomer in front of her, the rain falling into the air above her head, turning into a semi-arc of transparent ice.

Seeing that Zhao Qian's face was still a little puzzled, she continued and lit the beautiful cigarette stick in her hand.

"Do you think that with your strength, you won't be discovered by one of the bosses of the world of David Jones?"

"Uh, you helped me?"

"Uh-huh."

With a puff of blue smoke, Merlin said, but there was no pride on her face, it all seemed to her that it was not worth mentioning at all.

"So, what about now?"

"What?"

Zhao Xiang took a step back, and the surrounding woods slowly spread with unscientific frost, and even the leaves above his head were frozen. It becomes extraordinarily crystal clear.

"Contract."

The woman smiled.

"David Jones is only something I can handle. Moreover, it is not that he cannot go ashore, as long as he has a little means. ”

He took another step back, and the depths of the eyes of both men flashed with a subtle cunning.

"Like, tonight."

A murmuring and beautiful whisper sounded among the trees.

Divide-Cut-Line -

"Is it done?"

In a small corner of the tavern table, Wales asked and took a big sip of the gold medal rum in the glass in front of him. An average-looking sailor next to him nodded in response. This is a pirate port, and all of them are either pirates now, pirates in the past, or pirates in the future.

This sailor is a descendant of this part of Wales, and there are many, many unclean things, such as some gray income on the Black Baron, gambling or smuggling goods, etc., will be left to him to do. These were strictly forbidden under Bartholomew's Ten Codes.

He also took a sip of the wine that Wales had given him, and he said earnestly, but he had no intention of asking for credit at all.

"Cui Hu of the Empress, a subordinate of the Singapore pirate Wang Xiao. He's the second mate on the ship, he's well-connected, and most importantly, he's a bit stupid, just at the behest of Howling, who saved his family in his early years. ”

After a quiet sip of rum, Wales motioned to his most capable man to continue. In the eyes of ordinary drinkers, the two drinkers did not know each other, and one of them sat there with too much alcohol and talked to himself about drunken things that others could not understand.

"For an extra fee of three gold francs I hired a young man from France who wanted to get on board, and who used to be a well-known pickpocket in their place, for which I pretended to gossip and asked quite a few people in their place."

"Is it clean?"

"He's only been here for three days, and the silly boy was so excited that I used the name of the third officer to post the mission. In the name of joining the test of the Black Baron, he let him steal the ancestral jade that Cui Hu's mother gave him on her deathbed. ”

Wales smiled quietly at the corner of his mouth, he was a very gloomy man, and many people could not even see his joy and anger.

But that doesn't mean he won't be angry.

If his father's departure from him to the legendary Pirate Guild with a new nobleman only annoyed him, then the words of the witch in the evening, and the heroic deeds of the fellow now advertised in the tavern, made him a little jealous.

Why?

That guy was just a novice pirate.

Why would such a beautiful lady look disdainful of herself after asking Fu Sosi Zhao, as if she was looking at an ant on the ground that should not speak, and she should feel honored to talk to herself.

Why are these ignorant hillbillies all promoting what this guy is doing, don't they know that they are the only heirs to the black baron?

A hideous look flashed on Wales' face, and the strength of the cup in his hand increased a little.

Outside the tavern, in a certain dark alley, several people looked at the young man who was being taught by a few pirates outside the tavern, and did not make a sound.

The leading strong man in the Lesson Men knew him to almost all the pirates in the shipwreck harbor.

The second mate under the command of the Singaporean pirate king Xiao Hailong, he is known for his bravery and loyalty.

"Where's the stuff?"

The honest man asked, the already angry facial expression on his face that would have stunned anyone. Don't look at him as honest, he is a murderous Cui Hu.

A little murderous exposure can make many ordinary pirates afraid before fighting.

The young man who was curled up on the ground was silent, as if he could endure it, or perhaps he saw it as part of the test.

After a long time, the young Frenchman opened his mouth and told his beaters to stop. Many of the onlookers thought he could speak, and when he came to speak not very eloquent English.

"I don't know."

He smiled, and completely angered the honest man on the Empress who usually just drank.

kicked the man on the ground far away.

Spat out blood, the French pickpocket stood up, he looked around, the pain did make him panic a little, especially when there was still no one around him who could take care of him.

I seem to have been tricked.

The sailor's knife was pulled out by the strong oriental man in front of him, reflecting a ray of snow in the brightly lit shipwreck harbor.

"Again, where is my mother's jade?"

A knife.

One of the young man's arms fell, and blood stained the pirate-owned shops on both sides of the road, but no one stopped him, and everyone was used to it. And it's not an internal infighting among pirates, either.

"Ahh

Carrying the pickpocket's hair, Cui Hu asked. Even Westerners who do not understand filial piety are aware of the seriousness of this matter at this time.

"Yes, yes, it's a blessing."

The young man's eyes that he had long been unable to open flashed with resolute ruthlessness.

Since you use me as a chess piece, I have to bite back before I die, even if it is wrong, I have to pull a cushion.

Human nature.

The pirates who were still watching just now all dispersed at this moment, and several of Cui Hu's subordinates also looked at each other with complicated expressions. Things sounded like a bit of a hassle, especially when I heard a name that was still being talked about by the sailors in the tavern tonight.

"Bang!"

Not far away, a gunshot rang out from the crowd that was about to disperse.

Fusiliers.

With the sound of gunshots, the "outsider" who was just being rubbed by Cui Hu and them just now turned into a corpse with blood in his chest.

"Well done."

In the alley, someone said to his newly recruited men. That person's death will only make someone's reputation stink, unless he shows up at this time and saves him.

He was dressed in bulging clothes, but his face became more and more unclear in the dark alley.

The man smiled and lit a cigarette peculiar to this era, he was a little obsessed with this era, and it was difficult to find evidence in the mouths of some notaries, without those goddamn surveillance.

So, right now, there's no doubt about yourself, do you? As long as that guy is dead and he's making some noise, he's number one.

He spat out a puff of smoke in the dark alley, turned around and walked away with his men behind him.
