Chapter 20: Scarce Information

"Sir, even if you are an officer now and I am a non-commissioned officer, according to the tradition of the nobility, you still have to call me Lord Blakeney!" Blakeney retracted his smile and pursed his lips in displeasure.

"All right, Lord Blakeney!" Xu Mo smiled and touched his head, "What a coincidence, we met in a tavern, you are still injured, and at such a young age, you shouldn't drink!" ”

"What a coincidence! I'm here for you, and I already know about you! Blakeney lifted his severed arm, which was still bandaged, and grinned, "And my injuries are out of the way!" ”

Xu Mo was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Who told you about us?" ”

"When I was able to go down to the field, I didn't see you, so I found Gerhardt, and he said that you went on a mission, and he didn't tell me anything, so I had to ask the Admiral!" Blakeney said with a double wink.

"You ask the Admiral, and he tells you?" Xu Mo's eyes widened suddenly, a little disbelieving.

You must know that this plan is related to whether Sweden can get a powerful warship, and Blakeney Jr. was a very important part of the plan. Even so, in order to protect Blakeney, Hedram immediately vetoed the plan to let him participate, and even did not hesitate to fight with the English Navy after the plan failed, and now he actually let Blakeney come to him!

"Of course, I'm also a cadre of the Vestelos, and I'm still a nobleman, so why shouldn't he tell me?" Blakeney asked rhetorically, a little curiously.

"I didn't mean that, I mean he agreed to let you come to me? You didn't sneak here yourself, did you? Xu Mo was still a little incredulous.

"Chief Alfred, I'm a naval non-commissioned officer, how can I come to you without the permission of the Admiral and participate in the plan privately!" Blakeney's little face was wrinkled, obviously very dissatisfied with Xu Mo's questioning of himself.

"But, but...... Aren't you hurt? How could the Admiral agree to let you participate in the plan, you are only fourteen years old! Xu Mo's mind was a little confused, and he began to talk nonsense.

"Sir Alfred, how is your expression now exactly the same as that of Admiral Hedram, the Admiral is also talking nonsense, one time saying that you suggested that I participate in the plan, and the other saying that you finally disagree with me to participate in the plan!" A hint of cunning flashed in Blakeney's eyes, "By the way, I still have a letter from the Admiral asking me to hand it over to you!" ”

After receiving the letter, Xu Mo opened it with a suspicious face, and inside was Hedram's notice about Blakeney's participation in the action plan. A brief notice was followed by Hedlam's stern warning to Xu Mo not to involve Blakeney in any dangerous battles, in a tone that was almost as long as an old woman's footwrap.

Xu Mo looked at Blakeney a little speechlessly, he suddenly understood why Blakeney could come to him, it was simply that Hedram couldn't do anything about him, so he had to stuff him to himself. Although Blakeney is young and very cute, his temper is not cute at all, he is firm and stubborn, his will is comparable to steel, and ten cows can't pull back what he recognizes.

In other words, he was a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, but his surname was recognized by most of the people on board. After all, the people on this Swedish battleship are basically real men who have experienced bloody battles, and they will recognize each other for real men. It's just that little Blakeney is too young, so everyone will feel that they want to protect him, but this kind of protection can't be said in front of Blakeney, otherwise Blakeney will throw white gloves in your face.

Thinking that the strict and rigid Gelhardt fled in front of Blakeney, and the bold and atmospheric Hedram nagged and persuaded Blakeney with a sad face, Xu Mo couldn't help but have a feeling of wanting to laugh heartily.

"Sir Alfred, Alfred?" Blakeney looked at the stormtrooper captain on the Vestelos, frowning and smiling, his face uncertain and unpredictable, and he couldn't help but scream in confusion.

"Huh? Yes! Xu Mo finally came to his senses and looked at Blakeney with a smile, "Ahem, since you are going to participate in the action plan, then I think I must correct you a little first." In order not to reveal our identities, you can no longer call me sir, you have to call me brother, and in the future, you will be my brother, you know, little Blakeney! ”

"You'll have to call me Blakeney Court...... Yes, brother! Blakeney was about to retort reflexively, when he suddenly thought of something, and immediately lowered his head in frustration and called out in a low voice.

It's also strange to say, the surname is a little dark and deep, and when he sees Blakeney's appearance, his heart is dark and very disgusting.

……

"Go, go, boy, play over there, this is a big lord's carriage, you can't afford to scratch it!" The coachman glared and shouted at a thin teenager.

"Uncle, this carriage is really beautiful, what is the logo on the carriage?" The boy put his index finger in his mouth and sucked, asking blankly.

"It's ...... Why should I tell you! The coachman raised his whip and frightened, "If you don't go away, I'll beat you!" ”

"Cut, if you don't know, you don't know!" The boy gave the coachman a disdainful look, patted his ass and turned away.

However, when he reached the corner of the street, he put away his stupid appearance, turned around in the alley, and entered a tavern.

"Brother, the coachman is very vigilant, and he has not revealed the slightest thing about that nobleman. But where the nobleman lived, I already knew where. Blakeney tugged at his linen clothes, he was used to wearing a neat military uniform, he was really not used to this dirty and wrinkled linen undershirt.

"The English are really troublesome, and the nobles in Stockholm want others to know their titles and family crests, how can the nobles here be so timid and afraid." Frieza said disdainfully.

"It's not that they're cowardly, it's just that England was at war with Spain during this time, and many of the nobles associated with the navy of the two countries were assassinated, forcing them to be careful!" Xu Mo, who had learned some inside information from Hedlam, sighed and explained to everyone.

"The shipbuilder I followed has always lived in the Royal Naval College Greenwich, and there are many technicians and shipbuilders commuting together in the morning and evening, and there are so many people that we can't do it." Lasiu said from the side.

"Little Blakeney, where does that nobleman live?" Frieza put on a smiling face and called him affectionately. Since Xu Mo forced the surname to downgrade Blakeney Pavilion to Little Blakeney on the grounds of action requirements, everyone in the action team would make fun of Blakeney's name whenever they had the opportunity, which had become a form of entertainment for them in addition to their nervousness.

Blakeney gritted his teeth, glared at Frieza fiercely, and said angrily: "The Overseer has two musketeers and a coachman with him, and every few days he will take a carriage to the dockyard to see the progress of the construction of the battleship, and then he will return to a manor on the outskirts of London. ”

"A manor outside London?" Xu Mo frowned, turned his head and asked Laxiu, "Laxiu, what about the shipbuilder's family?" ”

"The shipbuilder was Dutch, and he didn't have any family in London." Lasius said with a wry smile.

"The overseer doesn't seem to be from London, the manor belongs to the royal palace, and I can't find out about the rest. Today I would have liked to take from the coachman which nobleman the family crest on the carriage belonged to, but the coachman was wary. Blakeney added.

"Rasthew, you don't have to talk to that shipbuilder tomorrow to help Blakeney keep an eye on that overseer, the next time he comes to the dockyard, it's our hands-on time. Keep your eyes on the manor and the dockyard. Xu Mo's eyes flashed and he made the final choice.

"Your Excellency, don't you wait, there is still very little information, maybe there will be a better chance?" Ahan said with a frown.

"I know it's a rush and it's easy to make mistakes, but we can't wait, we have to act. The Vistellos is almost finished, and we don't have a few days left. Xu Mo spread his hands and said helplessly.

Two days later, just as Xu Mo and the others were drinking boringly to relieve their boredom at the "Beach Boys", the door of the tavern was pushed open, and Laxiu hurriedly ran to Xu Mo's side and said softly: "Your Excellency, the overseer has just arrived at the dock, but he is in a hurry, and he is likely to leave immediately." Blakeney is still staring there, what are we going to do? ”

"You two remember his usual route back to the manor, right?" Xu Mo asked with a grin.

After receiving Lasius's affirmative reply, he stood up silently, gave everyone a look, and led the way out of the tavern, paused in a secluded corner, and said to them, "Gentlemen, let us be the Earl of Handington for a while!" (Robin Hood)"

"For Sweden!" The sailors looked feverish and shouted in low cheers.
