Chapter 253 The Governor Who Fell from the Sky

"It's me!" Langton brushed aside Captain Jack, who was blocking him inside, and walked over, meeting Brad's gaze: "I know you're a mercenary hired by these people, Brad, I'm willing to pay three times the price of your employer to hire you and your subordinates!" ”

Brad looked at him, his face didn't move at all, he just turned his body slightly to the side and turned to Yu Feng: "My lord, this is Lord Langton!" ”

Yu Feng looked at him with a smile on his face: "Didn't you say that you also captured the enemy ship with the people of the 'Jing' Ying Battalion?" Why, you don't know him either? ”

Brad shook his head slightly: "I wasn't on this lord's ship at the time!" ”

"I see!" Yu Feng nodded slightly: "You told that Your Excellency that it is a very bad behavior to buy my subordinates in front of me, and maybe this behavior will seriously affect his current living environment!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Brad's back suddenly cooled, the adults actually understood what they said, you know, he didn't translate the words just now.

"Say what I mean!" Yu Feng waved his hand to stop him from speaking, the smile on his face seemed a little unfathomable, it seemed to be gentle, but the tone in his mouth was undoubtedly categorical.

Where did Yu Feng understand what they were talking about, it was the English of later generations, he had studied for more than ten years, and he could only have some simple conversations, and he would stare dryly after a little longer. This Francophone is the predecessor of Spanish, he can't even speak English, how can he understand Francophone.

However, in addition to this verbal language, which can be used for communication, there is also a language that is used all over the world, and even without the need for translation, he can estimate the general meaning of the other person. That's body language.

When Langton spoke, although he said it to Brad, he unconsciously glanced at him, indicating that what he said to Brad was related to Brad and Yu Feng, and through Langton's extremely defensive lower limb standing style and the posture and movement of his hands when he spoke, it was shown that his current behavior and body language were all carried out to protect himself.

At the moment, it is not only related to Yu Feng and Brad, but also can protect himself, the only possibility, except to beg Yu Feng, is to change Yu Feng's attitude towards them through Brad, and at this time, except to write a blank check to buy Brad, or make any promises to Brad, Yu Feng really can't find any other way for this Langton to move Brad.

It's impossible for the two of them to meet: where are you, where am I, oh, we're fellow villagers, get me out of this hellish place! If this is the case, Yu Feng will really doubt the level of national wisdom of the Francois people.

Over there, Brad translated Yu Feng's words verbatim in the original text, and he was secretly glad that he hadn't reacted to Langton's words just now. However, from this point, he can be sure that this guy named Langton is very rich. People are buying a man, and he is trying to buy an army.

"I'm sorry, I had to give it a try!" Langton didn't have any shame on his face: "In my situation, you have to try any way, are you right!" ”

"I admire your courage, but I don't approve of your approach!" Yu Feng still smiled peacefully: "Listening to Your Excellency's tone, you seem to be very rich!"

As soon as Yu Feng's words were translated, several captains from Langton to his side exhaled almost at the same time: "If you want money, it's easy to do if you want money!" "What they fear most is that these people will kill them indiscriminately, or send them to some forgotten corner of the world to do hard labor, and finally die silently without anyone knowing.

"This lord, it is a common law in the whole world to redeem captives with money, and I ask to redeem myself with money!" Langton suddenly felt as if he had the capital to negotiate, as long as people lived, everything else could be given up, and if the money was gone, he could continue to rob and earn, but if people had no life, no matter how much money they had, they could only cheapen others.

"It's the law of your world, not ours!" Yu Feng grinned, 'showing' his few well-maintained teeth, but at this time, in the dim light of the dungeon, it inevitably gave people a little bit of a white sense.

"Let me tell you a story, in our country, two countries are 'fighting', and in one battle, a general captured almost 400,000 enemies, if according to you, this general must have become a rich man, but it is a pity that in the minds of our Orientals, money is sometimes far less important than anything else. Do you know what the general did with the 400,000 captives in the end? ”

Yu Feng exaggeratedly hugged a big circle with his hand: "He dug a big, big pit, and then, overnight, buried all these 400,000 people alive in this pit, all of them, not a single one left!" ”

Langton and his captains' faces turned a little pale, they were not worried about the 400,000 captives who were killed, but at this time, Yu Feng suddenly told this story, and the moral of it frightened them.

"Of course, although money is not omnipotent, but without money, it is absolutely impossible, I am not the general who loves to kill, so I am very interested, I want to hear your assessment of yourself, what do you think, what kind of price is in line with your noble status?"

Langton has no doubt about Yu Feng's identity at this moment, this nobleman in a long robe should be the owner of this land, otherwise, he would not say such a thing in a big way. He knew very well that as a prisoner of his ranks, he wanted to obtain the qualification to talk to the other party on an equal footing, but it was obviously impossible, and he could only impress the heart of this nobleman in the shortest possible time, with his greatest sincerity, in order to let him leave this nightmarish place.

"I myself am willing to pay a war ransom of 10,000 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver, as for my captains, I think, 30,000 taels of silver should be a good price?" Langton was silent for a moment, and quoted his price.

"Hahaha!" Yu Feng laughed, and the laughter in the dark dungeon 'stirred' and 'wavered' a series of echoes, Langton turned his eyes to the laughing aristocratic young man, and cursed secretly in his heart: "Is this price funny?" As for even laughing out of tears? ”

Yu Feng 'touched' the tears in the corners of his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Your Excellency Lord Langton, it seems that you like my place very much, and you plan to stay here for a long time, right?" ”

"No, I hate this place, I don't want to stay here for a minute!" Langton retorted loudly and angrily.

"10,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of silver, you can't even buy your ship, do you think your noble body is not as good as an armed merchant ship under your ass?"

Yu Feng looked at them a little playfully: "Do you want to think about it again?" ”

Langton swallowed his saliva with some difficulty, "Thirty-five thousand taels of gold, two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, this is the largest amount we can take, this ransom also includes the military salary of our kingdom's Far East Fleet, if you get this ransom, our kingdom's Far East Fleet is afraid that it will not even be able to pay the military salary!" ”

"Far Eastern Fleet?" Brad faithfully translated Lando's words, and Yu Feng was very sensitive to hearing a new word.

"The Franco-Rang Far Eastern Fleet in Luzon?"

"It's the Luzon Squadron of the Far East Fleet of the Kingdom of Portugal!" Langton deliberately corrected it, which did not rule out the meaning of his pressure like Yu Feng, don't look at their victory over themselves this time, but the real fleet has not yet come forward.

"Don't talk nonsense, your detachment has been transferred back to China, and everyone knows that the fleet that has never existed anymore, what else do you need for military salaries?"

"No, no, it's not that I'm being transferred back to China, it's about escorting some sensitive materials back to China!" Langton felt the need to correct the other party's misunderstanding, which was conducive to increasing his own weight in the other party. "The wealth I just mentioned is what was left in the treasury of Luzon after the fleet was escorted back to China, and every two years, such transportation behavior occurs once in our colonies?"

"Alright, I take your word for it!" The smile on Yu Feng's face faded, and it was clear that he remembered something.

"Now we are left with one last question, what is the relationship between the governor of the Portuguese Kingdom in Luzon and you, and why are you so sure that he is willing to take out the wealth stored in the treasury to redeem you?"

Langton and his ships, you look at me, I look at you, and there is no sound, and the dungeon suddenly falls silent.

"Don't want to say?" Yu Feng was not verbose, and immediately stood up, "It's okay, don't say it if you don't want to say it, maybe when you want to say it, I don't want to listen to it?" ”

Seeing Yu Feng standing up and about to leave, Langton hadn't moved yet, and the captains beside him were in a hurry: "Sir..."

Who knows if this young nobleman will come back when he leaves, this 'damp' damp dungeon, disgusting diet, so that these pampered captains are simply living like a year, since the ransom has been negotiated now, then it is only necessary to tell them the true identity of these people, they can immediately change to a comfortable place, I believe that whoever is about to get such a huge fortune will not be stingy with this treatment of the few people who brought him this wealth.

"I say!" Langton saw that Yu Feng had already walked out, obviously not acting, and he was a little anxious, so he pulled away a hand that was pulling the hem of his clothes, and shouted loudly at Yu Feng's back.

"I am the new governor of the Far Eastern colonies of the Kingdom of Portugal, and although I have not yet taken office, the mandate of the Kingdom will be brought when the fleet returns, and all the nobles and high-ranking officers in the Far East know about it. So, there is absolutely no problem with the ransom! ”
