Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Maiden and the King

"Huh?" Everyone followed the reputation of this beautiful woman like a yellow warbler.

Behind them came two young men, a man and a woman, the girl with short blond fluffy hair, a cute goose egg face with a pair of bright eyes with turquoise pupils, a green silk dress and a pair of black high leather boots on her slender legs. The man was tall, with short black hair and a thick expression, and was now holding his forehead and looking at his companion with a headache.

"What's the matter, little girl?" The people who had been tense saw that it was two young people, and they all relaxed, and Hedram immediately asked.

"Is the big ship yours?" The girl frowned and asked, I have to say that this girl is very cute, even if she is frowning, there is still a delicate taste.

"Yes, the ship is ours, little girl!" Hedram replied with a smile.

"Listen, when you do business in Amsterdam, you have to know some rules, this is my territory!" The girl immediately crossed her hands on her hips, puffed out her cheeks, and said angrily.

Hearing the girl's words, Hedram frowned and did not reply again. Since they were the ones who came to provoke, the officers naturally couldn't let the admiral negotiate with the other party anymore. Originally, such an occasion used to be handled by Gerhardt, but now it is inconvenient for Gerhardt to come forward again, it is very simple that he is already the captain of the ship, and he is no longer the first mate of Hedram. The strict style of the Germans made him never go beyond half a point.

Originally, Xu Mo was just standing behind everyone, silently enjoying the show, but suddenly he found that everyone's eyes were on him, and he couldn't help but be inexplicable for a while. Gerhardt frowned, knowing that the knight who was used to fighting had not yet integrated into the role of first mate, so he had to step forward and let himself take on the duties of first mate again.

"Little girl, Amsterdam is an international trade port, as long as there is a trade agreement between the two countries, we have the right to free trade!" Gerhardt said politely.

"Hee-hee, doing business with those trading houses, you're going to suffer. But for your sake, as long as you sign a trade agreement with my chamber of commerce, I will help you get the best price in those trading houses, what do you think? The girl said with a grin, finally telling her what she meant.

"Oh? You started your own chamber of commerce? Gerhardt was a little surprised, the girl in front of him should not be very old, could it be said that she was a child of a great nobleman?

At this time, Xu Mo had already been reminded by Blakeney to understand his duties as a first mate, and stepped forward and said to the girl with a smile: "It's really a great thing for a civilian girl to be able to establish her own chamber of commerce in Amsterdam. It's just that we are soldiers, and I'm afraid there aren't many goods that can be handed over to your Chamber of Commerce for sale! ”

"Soldiers? Now in Amsterdam, everyone comes to do business, soldiers, adventurers, pirates, all of them break into our merchants' territory. The girl's eyebrows furrowed, knowing that the group of people in front of her might not be able to bring her any gains, "Since you are a soldier, don't enter our merchant's territory, otherwise, I won't spare you, damn it!" ”

"Hey, you little girl!" Xu Mo was a little annoyed and put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Lilu!" The black-haired young man next to the girl hurriedly stopped his companion's rude behavior, but when he saw that his companion had turned away, he had to say to Hedram and the gang with an apologetic face, "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry!" ”

"It's okay, take care of your companions!" Hedram smiled lightly and said, "She seems to be in a bad mood!" ”

"Your Excellency, you have been too lenient with them!" Seeing the young man turn to leave, Gerhardt said with a blank face. As a German nobleman with a very strict concept of dignity and inferiority, he was very angry about what had just happened.

"Gerhardt, don't be so serious, it's just a cute little girl!" Hudram smiled nonchalantly.

"Alfred, you should have come forward earlier, you're Admiral's lieutenant now!" When Gerhardt saw Hedram say this, he had no choice but to transfer his dissatisfaction to the object, "However, how do you see that she is a civilian girl, and she can have a chamber of commerce, which is not something that such a young civilian girl can do." ”

"Although these two men are dressed very decently, the sleeves of their clothes are very worn, and it is clear that they have very simple living habits. And although their tone was very polite, it was very straightforward, without the hypocrisy of the aristocracy. Xu Mo replied with a smile.

……

A group of officers from the Vestelos quickly forgot about the unpleasant episodes of the docks and found a large hotel near the docks. While Xu Mo was resting in his room, there was a knock on his door. Xu Mo frowned, now that the sky has darkened, he specially instructed Dinah not to come to him when there are many people, so at this time, who will knock on the door.

After getting up and opening the door, Xu Mo was a little surprised when he saw someone coming, Charlie and Blakeney were outside the door. After Charlie misunderstood Xu Mo on the boat, he quickly apologized to Xu Mo in private, not to mention that Xu Mo understood that he was angry with him at that time, and he was also worried about everyone, so he didn't take the matter to heart, and the two quickly resumed friendship.

"You two, aren't you going to rest so late?" Xu Mo asked in surprise.

"Hey, Alfred, you haven't been to Amsterdam before, have you?" Charlie, a Frenchman, asked with a strange smile.

"yes, I'm in Amsterdam for the first time, what's wrong?" Xu Mo's eyes flashed, looking at the two people in front of him, leaving Charlie aside, it seemed that even Blakeney's performance was a little strange. This strong-willed steel boy was now a little hesitant, bowing his head in front of Xu Mo and drawing circles on the floor of the door with the tip of his right foot.

"Ahem, Alfred, Amsterdam is a famous sex.city! Night is when the city really wakes up, I'm going to take Blakeney to see it, are you coming? As a romantic French sailor, Charlie will not give up any port city that can be merciful, rightly said.

Xu Mo suddenly realized, his eyes rolled, and he thought that he hadn't touched a woman for a long time since the last King of Fighters world. In the real world, because of the relationship between Black Lotus's master and apprentice, he didn't even see Nae and entered this leisure world again. Now that he was encouraged by Charlie, a nameless evil fire suddenly arose in his heart.

However, just as Xu Mo was moving, he suddenly found a shadow flashing around the corner of the corridor, and the words blurted out immediately changed: "I...... I won't go, I'm a little tired today! ”

Charlie glanced at Xu Mo strangely, so he had to pull Blakeney towards the door of the hotel, and little Blakeney turned around step by step, looking at Xu Mo with a struggling face, as if he wanted Xu Mo to save himself. Seeing Xu Mo smiling and closing the door, he had no choice but to give up the last resistance with a tragic face, and followed Charlie out with his head down.

Xu Mo closed the door and immediately came to his senses, angry for a while. Are you so careful, isn't it just to go out for a drink of flower wine, find a Dutch beauty to solve your physiological problems, and have to take care of someone's thoughts? However, at this time, it is estimated that Charlie and Blakeney have already gone out, and if he catches up again, he will definitely be despised by the two, so after thinking about it, he had to throw himself on the bed and sleep with his head covered.

……

Three days later, Hedram summoned his officers to his room again.

"Your Majesty Gustav, instructions have been sent to us!" A smile of joy spread across Hedlam's face, "Your Majesty has praised us for what we have achieved, even using words like 'great', and Your Majesty has surprised us!" ”

"Your Excellency Admiral, His Majesty Gustav really said that!" Blakeney asked excitedly.

"Yes, Blakeney, he also made a point of praising the two royal nobles in the plan of action, Alfred and you!" "Your Majesty has agreed to let the Vistelos go into battle," said Hedram, "and has brought us a group of sailors through the merchant ships of neutral nations to supplement the non-Swedish sailors who have disembarked. And he also informed the two armed privateers in the waters near Denmark to cooperate with our operation, we will not fight alone! ”

"Hooray!" The crowd in the room cheered excitedly.

is worthy of being the wise monarch ranked 42nd in the list of emperors in world history, Xu Mo sighed with emotion in his heart, no wonder even a man like Hedram trusts this Swedish king so much.

In the real world, from the middle of the 16th century to the beginning of the 17th century, there were several famous kings in world history in Europe, such as Elizabeth I, who became the strongest in the world with LinkedIn Gran, Henry IV, the founder of the Bourbon dynasty in France, and the two grandchildren of Sweden, Gustav I and II, Gustav I made Sweden read under Danish rule and established the Swedish Vasa dynasty, known as the "warrior king".

And his grandson was even more remarkable, defeating all the northern powers on land, including Denmark, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, making the entire Baltic Sea an inland sea of Sweden, known as the "Lion of the North", this era was not only the age of great navigation, but also the age of monarchs belonging to the brilliant kings.

"Alright, next, Gerhardt is here to give you an introduction to the information about Clifford that has been received." Hedram pressed his hand downwards and motioned for everyone to calm down.

"Clifford's privateer fleet consisted of seven ships, four armed merchant ships and three regular warships. One of the warships, which is escorting two merchant ships, is currently in the port of Brest in France, unloading cargo and will soon head north back to London. Clifford's flagship, along with three other ships, is still in the port of London for the time being, and may have to wait for the other three ships to come and join them. Gerhardt elaborated.

"Clifford's fleet is twice as strong as ours, so they must not be brought together in one place. In a secret letter to His Majesty the King, Gerhardt and I had already drawn up a battle plan. Hedram turned his head to Xu Mo and smiled, "Alfred, aren't you wondering how we are going to intercept Clifford at sea, and then you have to listen carefully, our plan is like this......"
