Although the logic of "saving the Hasf family is saving your own" did not receive an enthusiastic response from Wu Xin, Wu Xin did not get angry at the Hasf family's empty request for assistance.

Therefore, after Wu Xin left the banquet, Princess Serafi could still introduce her cousin to Wu Xin's other subordinates.

She brags hard about the glorious history of the Hassf family, and how many life-and-death crises she has faced over the centuries, and the Barbary pirates are not a serious test at all.

Her cousin was there too, blowing the conch and pouring wine, and by midnight he had completely forgotten that he had come for help.

He roared and screamed, and at first he could hear cursing the lowly Barbary pirates and the arrogant Ottomans, but then all that was left was the chaotic roar and sobbing.

Although Princess Serafi constantly covered him and admonished him, he kept pouring himself and making wine and all kinds of food everywhere, and finally the climax was to vomit a mess, and the mellow wine became a sour poison mixed with gastric juices.

He was the only one among the guests who was so out of shape, Serafi was extremely embarrassed, Wu Xin was not good at what was in the cup, and the Tripoli group did not have a culture of drinking.

However, despite the poor performance of the messenger, even the most distressed Father Erlan did not burst into a rage, but tried to control his emotions as much as possible.

Whether it is Father Erlan or several company captains, they can't figure out Wu Xin's attitude towards Princess Serafi, most people think that Wu Xin still often goes to this lady's bed, after all, the relationship with the female knight Deverichy seems to be more of a resonance of common suffering, Princess Serafi has a noble status, and her appearance is also in line with universal aesthetics.

Of course, even if they knew that Wu Xin hadn't actually gone to the princess's bed. They won't offend Princess Serafi easily, at least they won't have any conflicts with her because of something of this magnitude.

However, no one was willing to carry the envoy back to his residence, after all, it would be considered to support the Hassf family, and no one with a little brain would dare to do such a taboo thing when the country's foreign policy was unclear.

The only bodyguard and coachman of the messenger had also drunk himself.

Princess Serafi's two maids were not drunk. The three of them had to drag the two drunks away by themselves.

When she returned to her room, Serafi felt a terrible pain in her back, she had never done any work in her life, and such activities tossed her too much.

This cousin drank so much that it completely exceeded the need for socializing, and he was completely venting his emotions.

He was worried about the Ottoman fleet assembled in Alexandria.

His repression and collapse exposed the predicament of the Hasf family, which was too bad, a group that had no faith in its own people. It will be more difficult to get foreign aid.

She was going to wake her cousin up with the most disgusting emetic as soon as she came back, and then she was angry with her cousin, but after so long along the way, she already understood her cousin's misery, and she felt the same way.

Princess Serafis's handmaidens were all slave girls who had just arrived from Gabez, and they were very happy to be able to come to the port of Tripoli. is still oppressed by the princess, so what kind of resignation into this kind of thing. They are completely incomprehensible.

What really made them happy was that they were out of the tiger's mouth in Gabes City, and even the slave girls who couldn't get out knew that the Hasf family was not good.

In fact, even if the reinforcements of the Ottoman Empire do not come, the Hasf family will be dying.

The robbery of the pirates was not Wu Xin's, the mask of the so-called sect brother could not be worn for a long time, and I don't know how many villages' last rations were robbed. How many tribes have taken their last sheep.

Although Murray Hassan's letter said that such a way of collecting supplies shows that Hayreddin is running out of stamina and will collapse at any time, this cannot be said to be unreasonable. Because Hayreddin's military campaign in Tunisia was clearly not his usual raids, but an attempt to establish a long-term rule.

was restrained in the early stage, and then gradually lost control, indicating that his life was not easy.

But Princess Serafi knew that even if such a tactic did show that Heledin's control over his subordinates had greatly decreased, it would not change the fact that the life of the Hasf family was even more difficult.

None of the slave girls had enough food or fuel to keep them warm, and although the desert was a difficult place to fight guerrillas, Murray-Hassan was already seriously considering abandoning the city and fighting guerrilla warfare in the oasis.

The reason why he still refuses to hand over the last bit of his family wealth to his son to ask Wu Xin for help is that he doesn't look down on Wu Xin's strength or Wu Xin's courage, he thinks that Wu Xin doesn't dare to come to the rescue of him.

It is best for Wu Xin to bring his own dry food to save him, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't go.

What he was really looking forward to was the emperor's rescue.

In the end, those family members were intended to be used to clear up relations with the Spanish fleet commander, and he hoped that Princess Serafi would find a way to get in touch with the Spaniards.

Princess Serafi knew that this was too difficult for him, and she only cared about how to save her old lady from the city of Gabès first.

On the second day of the New Year's Day banquet, Wu Xin woke up unexpectedly.

He was certainly not surprised to find the knightess de Vrerich in his arms, but to the place where he was, which was not his bedroom.

Rather, it's a rather gorgeous star-moon style room.

Wu Xin poked his head out of the window and saw the high lighthouse and the sun that was already in the middle.

Wu Xin was relieved, he could be sure that he was still in the castle.

"What's wrong?" Wu Xin's reaction woke up the female knight Deverich, "Get up a little later today, that Godafy goblin never gets up early, it's okay if you're late." ”

"Oh, that's good." Wu Xin hid his surprise, he knew that old Deverichy had a new wife from the Godafy family, "Your house has been renovated." ”

"yes, that leprechaun must change the room to the style of her house." The knight de Vrerich said so, but Wu Xin guessed that she definitely didn't object to the renovation, after all, this was her room.

Wu Xin guessed that this should be one of the results of the plane correction, and although the old Deverlich was in a key position, he did not have much money to handle. It's not so much to get so much so quickly, and it's not so quick to show off your wealth.

Anyway, he lay down again, although the female knight's bed was cold, but Wu Xin himself was hot, although it was much colder than before using the "Extreme Fireball Technique" a few times, it was still enough to deal with the cold woman.

Today is New Year's Day. Wu Xin really planned to rest for a day, even if the two infidels, Hareddin and Murray-Hassan, would continue to fight today, Wu Xin would have to steal half a day of laziness.

It's only been half a day, and the homework of throwing the "fireball technique" at the soldiers cannot be omitted, after all, in addition to those companies, there are many nomadic cavalry who also need to see magic.

Most of the soldiers are followers of the Lord of Darkness and Flame and should rest today, while most of the nomads are followers of the stars and moons and do not need to rest on New Year's Day.

Wu Xin is very satisfied with this arrangement.

However, his plan fell through in the end. The part about the break.

It didn't take long for old Deverichy to arrange a job for him.

"The Republic of Venice wants to buy 800,000 catties of grain at a price of forty catties and one thaler, all in cash, if Your Highness you are willing to accept the promissory note of Her Majesty, the goddess of commerce, then I can call the shots and give you another fifteen percent increase in price, and this is the price of departure. The most honorable Republic of Venice will arrange its own transport vessels. ”

This last condition is very important, Wu Xin has been annoyed for a while now. It is. The Barbary pirate fleet in Bizerte today and the Ottoman fleet in Alexandria.

These enemies threatened Mediterranean trade at all times, and large-scale trade was almost impossible.

"Ambassador Molozini, today is New Year's Day, can't you enjoy a day of relaxation, and let His Highness Sibo also get a day of relaxation?"

The Venetian ambassador Molocini should have been extremely angry at the interjection of the female knight de Verich.

Although this is not a place of work, women's rights in Venice are relatively high.

But the monarch's mistress interrupted the conversation between the monarch and foreign emissaries on diplomatic occasions. It is still extremely rude, especially this kind of non-discussion of issues, and even more so opposition to meetings that have already taken place.

If it were to go online, it would even be a diplomatic insult, although Molozini was not really an ambassador. That's just a polite statement, he has no official status, officially he is actually a grain merchant.

Ambassador Molocini did not look angry at all, but said with a smile: "Aren't we relaxing, knight de Vrerich? There is nothing more enjoyable in the world than a win-win business. ”

Of course, he could not rebuke the female knight of Deverich, on the one hand, Venice was in urgent need of this batch of food, and on the other hand, this meeting could take place, in fact, it was all thanks to the female knight Deverich.

It doesn't matter that the knight herself doesn't know the rules, but her father knows how to do it for his daughter's benefit.

Old Deverrich was in a good mood, not only because of the gift given to him by Molocini, a promissory note of three hundred thalers that could be cashed in any branch of the Woking church, but also because Wu Xin recognized his daughter's status.

Wu Xin allowed his daughter to arrange some innocuous trips, which was a testament to her official lover status.

Therefore, Molocini would not be angry at the words of the knight de Vrerich, but would be careful to flatter her.

"It's certainly a pleasure to have a win-win life, it's a very relaxing thing, but I don't think we have any win-win opportunities in this deal, Ambassador Moloccini." Of course, if three hundred thalers can be bought, it is only a meeting, and it is impossible to agree, Wu Xin's attitude is very tough.

Molocini was not surprised by this result, he had been in the port of Tripoli for more than ten days, and it was not until the banquet last night that he got into contact with old Deverich, and then got the opportunity to meet Wu Xin.

This is in line with the rules, the monarch drags the diplomats for a while, and then finds a way for their mistresses to make extra money, and at the same time satisfies their vanity, but if Wu Xin really wants to trade with him, it won't be delayed for that long.

"Forty pounds of grain for a thaler, which is already more expensive than the worst harvest years, and if a promissory note is a thaler, it is thirty-four pounds of grain, and that doesn't it make you happy? The owner of the port of Tripoli? "It is undeniable that if this is a simple grain deal, then the price can be said to be extremely high.

Although the Woking Chamber of Commerce does not have any branches in the Black Continent now, it is not difficult for Wu Xin to discount the bills, and I believe that the Jewish Chamber of Commerce will be happy to buy these bills at a nine-percent discount.

But this deal is by no means a simple grain deal.

"Is that all you are bidding?" Although he didn't think there was any possibility, Wu Xin still asked, what if?

"The Republic of Venice will be grateful for your friendship and, if the time is right in the future, it will support you in reclaiming the throne that belongs to you." This condition is really quite deceitful.

"Huh." However, Wu Xin only gave him a sneer, and then shook his head and stood up.

If it was at the height of the Republic of Venice, when her navy ruled the Eastern Mediterranean, and all the German princes owed money to the Church of Woking, then this support was a treasure of great difficulty.

But now, the support of the Republic of Venice, which was left bare, was worthless, even a burden, a terrible ally that would inevitably cause displeasure among the powerful factions in Vienna.

Seeing that Wu Xin had the intention of sending off guests, Molocini was very impatient, and he was worried about the fate of his motherland.

It is no secret that the Tripoli Group has a special relationship with Austria with which the Republic of Venice is preparing for war is clearly the seizure of her continental territory.

And supporting this exiled prince to regain the throne is indeed a very powerful bargaining chip if it is Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire or the true chosen pope of the Roman Church State.

Molocini himself knew that his support was ridiculous.

Although the Republic of Venice is still rich in money, with half of its heyday income, and the city of Venice is still the second largest city in Europe after Paris, it is not qualified to support Wu Xin.

The Venetian side did not have much hope for this trip, and not only did Molocini have no official name, but his retinue and the funds for bribery were also his personal property.

Molocchini, a devout patriot, was determined to make a last-ditch effort: "Your Highness Sibo, we in the Republic of Venice are a powerful friend and a friend who knows many secrets, don't you want to know who is responsible for the fall of Buda and who killed your mother?" ”

His words made Wu Xin furious, and he raised his hand, almost shoving a fireball into the mouth of this Molocini ambassador.

Such so-called intelligence, which clearly carries a position, is said in front of him, which is a provocation.

…………

The New Year's banquet in the Viennese palace has ended.

The kitchen utensils and cutlery were also cleaned, and the chefs went home happily with all the ingredients that had been left in the ink.

Before the chef had left, she sat down at the door of the little garden, and then she took out the short knife she used to chop vegetables, and slowly sharpened it.

The cook is nothing more than part-time, and her official position is the guard of the gates. (To be continued.) )
