What does it look like to be pleasantly surprised?

Tang Sen saw with his own eyes that the thin middle-aged man was crying silently, and the whole person was curled up on the ground, unable to say a word, and even Tang Sen was worried that the other party would die like this.

On the other hand, William Turner stood aside, his face stiff and embarrassed, he didn't even have time to regret it, and his mind kept echoing what Townsend had just said: "It's too reckless." ”

Indeed, if you think about it, how could a man known for his kindness and kindness, who has already helped so many people at the Port Royal docks, suddenly put his life at the cost of his game? As the other side said, this is essentially a game of the brave.

And it's not that I'm not brave, it's just... The brain didn't turn around.

"I'm sorry... Mr. Tang. William took a deep breath with a bitter look on his face: "I misunderstood what you meant. ”

"It doesn't matter, in my opinion, a sense of justice is more precious than gold coins."

Tang Sen said: "Of course, I sincerely hope that you think so too, after all, with your performance, you should have been the ultimate winner, and now, this gold coin has nothing to do with you." ”

After saying this, Tang Sen picked up the middle-aged man, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a straight face: "Sir, please take your wealth away, I will ask two soldiers to escort you until you reach a safe place." ”

"Thank you... Thank you Mr. Tang. The middle-aged man was a little unsteady, and the whole person was on top of the gold coin box, "I don't know how to thank you, you saved my life, and after I cure my illness, I will repay you with the rest of my life, Mr. Tang." ”

"It's all earned by your own efforts." Tang Sen smiled: "Live well, we shouldn't see each other again in the future." ”

He straightened up, took a deep breath, and looked at Port Royal again.

"Well, that's the end of my game."

"Gentlemen and ladies who are still here, it is an honor to spend some time with you, and I am about to embark on the next part of my journey, and if I can, I hope this time is goodbye."

The testimonials are chic, but they are what Townsend really thinks.

Despite his meticulous plans, life is always as moody as the sea, with frequent accidents, and Townsend only hopes to be able to leave this world forever within six months.

"Mr. Tang, are you leaving?" Miss Swan stepped forward, apparently that no soldier would stand in the way of the eldest lady of the Governor's house, and she asked earnestly.

"Of course, Miss Swan, on my behalf, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Swan for his hospitality these days." Townsend bowed.

Miss Swan pursed her lips and turned to look at Mr. Turner.

"Will, I have something to tell you."

William Turner's self-reflection was interrupted by Miss Swan, who replied, "Miss Swan, please." ”

Miss Swan was obviously a little hesitant, thought for a moment, and said, "Mr. Tang, can we talk in a different place?" ”

"Of course, I think I still have some time." Townsend looked at the military dock and said with a smile.

Townsend then arranged the final arrangements, and then the three of them walked to a secluded part of the square.

"Miss Swan, what the hell is going on, so mysterious?" William Turner asked.

Miss Swan looked left and right, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Will, I'm sorry I lost your things." ”

"My stuff?" William Turner looked puzzled: "You mean last night's theft?" I don't remember what I have with you. ”

He saw Miss Swan's uneasy expression and comforted, "Even if there is, it doesn't matter, I will never blame Miss Swan." ”

"No... That's important. Miss Swan turned her head sideways, not daring to look into William Turner's eyes: "I had a dream last night, Will, I dreamed of you." ”

"Dreaming of our first meeting."

William Turner smiled nostalgically: "Miss Swan, I have always remembered that you saved my life. ”

"No, there are some things I haven't told you." Miss Swan said: "In my dream, I remembered that you were wearing a necklace and a necklace with gold coins hanging from you. ”

"That's pirate gold."

"I took the gold coin so that others would not mistake you for pirates and put you to death, but when I think about it today, it was stolen."

William Turner listened to her and was silent for a moment, then recalled, "That gold coin, I thought it had sunk into the sea with that shipwreck." ”

He was still relieved: "It's okay, it's just a gold coin, I missed five hundred gold coins today." ”

"Will." Miss Swan emphasized, "You know what I'm talking about, it's a pirate coin!" ”

"Do you remember what Mr. Tang said? He knows a man with exactly the same name as your father, a pirate—"

"Elizabeth, my father can't be a pirate." William Turner said categorically, "That pirate coin was just a souvenir from my father. ”

Miss Swan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Townsend stood by and listened to their conversation, and finally spoke: "What a sad subject, Mr. Turner, I think nothing in the world is absolute. ”

"I came across something today, and I think you'd be interested."

"I'm sure you've noticed that the citizens of Port Royal helped me catch a pirate," he said. ”

"That's right, that sissy." William Turner said: "I noticed him, but unfortunately I couldn't leave the box at the time, otherwise I would have caught him." ”

"During subsequent interrogation, he claimed to be a pirate captain."

Townsend paused: "Black Pearl." ”

The two of them suddenly changed color.

"The legendary fastest pirate ship on the seas?" William Turner said: "Those are just rumors of pirates, this ship does not exist, not to mention, how could the captain of a legendary pirate ship come to Port Royal and be caught by a group of women and children?" ”

"No, it is." Miss Swan said solemnly, "I've seen her, the Black Pearl. ”

"The day I met her, the day I met you, Will."

William Turner's expression froze.

"Oh, I don't know about it, but it would be even stranger if the Black Pearl had been at the same time as Mr. Turner that day."

Townsend answered her topic and said, "The pirate captain claimed that ten years ago, his crew had betrayed him for the treasures of the Isle of Death, and on the Isle of Death, there was a gold Aztec coin, a gold coin with a skull engraved on it. ”

Miss Swan exclaimed.

"What's even stranger is that he said that among the mutinous crew at that time was a pirate named William Turner, and everyone called him the Tie King." Townsend spread his hands: "I've always been suspicious of pirates, and the William Turner I know isn't a crew member of the Black Pearl, so I didn't take his words to heart. ”

"It wasn't until Miss Swann mentioned it that I thought maybe Mr. Turner ought to know about it."

"That must be Will's father!" Miss Swan affirmed, "Will, there can be no such coincidence in the world, the day you were shipwrecked, the Black Pearl was wandering nearby, and they... It's for you! ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

William Turner waved his arms irritably: "A pirate's nonsense doesn't prove anything at all." ”

"That's right." Tang Sen nodded with a smile, looked at the sky, and said, "In that case, it's time for me to set off too." ”

He didn't hesitate at all, and turned around and waved his hand: "Goodbye, Mr. Turner, Miss Swan." ”

"Mr. Don—" Miss Swan subconsciously cried, but looking at William Turner, she realized that she had no position or reason to continue.

Back on the docks, the middle-aged man had already left with the gold coins under the escort of the soldiers, there was no excitement to see, most of the people of Port Royal had dispersed, only some unwilling ones remained in place, and when they saw Townsend coming back, they immediately rushed up, trying to find some more opportunities to make money.

Naturally, Tang Sen ignored them, and when he came to the port where the boat was going, Warrant Officer Tom was already waiting here, and he leaned over and whispered, "Mr. Tang, everything has been arranged. ”

"Of the three hundred and twenty-eight soldiers left behind at Port Royal, two hundred and fifty-two are willing to go to sea with the ship, and they have all changed into their usual clothes and boarded the ship, and I have arranged them on each ship according to the size of the ship."

"Ordnance was also quietly brought in with the supplies, but they were all flintlock pistols, and the cannons were too eye-catching to be easily exposed."

"I just noticed." Tang Sen nodded: "Good job." ”

It is not easy to get the soldiers of the Royal Navy to follow them to the sea, but it is not difficult to get the soldiers of the Royal Navy to follow them to the sea, but it is not very difficult under the influence of money.

If a trip to sea can be exchanged for ten years' salary, I believe anyone will hesitate.

In addition, Townsend had been laying out since a few days ago, and had patiently gotten to know every soldier who had received his gift, and had established a good image in the hearts of the soldiers early, so when Brigadier General Norrington decided to let these soldiers who had already tasted the sweetness stay at Port Royal, Townsend did not hesitate to find the door.

Instigated by one or two pre-arranged pushers, the soldiers happily accepted Townessen's offer.

After all, with so many people working together, even Brigadier General Norrington may not be able to hold them accountable one by one.

The saying that the law does not hold the public accountable has a place in any era.

"I don't have to worry about the cannon, even if I transport it, if I want to use it on a merchant ship, it needs to be modified, and I don't have that much time." Tang Sen said softly: "I never thought that these merchant ships could bring combat effectiveness comparable to that of warships, what I wanted was quantity, a sense of oppression." ”

"The most important thing is the Interceptor and the Dreadnought, and when it comes to sailing, we need to take the cruising route into our own hands."

"I believe Mr. Tang already has a plan in mind, doesn't he?" Tom looked at Townsend in admiration.

After this series of events, Warrant Officer Tom admired Townsend so much, and became more and more convinced of how wise he had chosen to follow Townsend in the first place.

"At this point, there's no need for any elaborate planning." Tang Sen smiled: "Brigadier General Norrington is indeed not a person to deal with, above Port Royal, he can be said to be the overlord, no one can resist him, even the governor, he is inferior to him." ”

"In my opinion, Mr. Tang is far more powerful than Norrington." Tom complimented, "I'm curious to see what the Commodore will look like when he finds out how big the fleet with him is." ”

"I'm just rich enough." Townsend didn't answer the other man's sycophancy, and looked back at Port Royal.

"At Port Royal, Mr. Norrington represents order, which England has worked on for centuries to build, and dozens of merchant ships, a group of untrained ordinary people, cannot shake this solid order."

It is this order that allows me to safely survive the early stage, climb on it, and grow strongly.

"But the sea is different, Tom."

The sea is a realm where the jungle eats the strong.

There, identity, money, appearance, these invincible things in the world of order, are all sheathed, and only force comes out of the sheath, bright and hideous.

"Obviously, Mr. Norrington will not realize that the moment he sets sail, his weapon is locked in the box, and my sword is already ready to be attacked."

The two put the boat down, and Tom slid the oars and slowly sailed away from the dock.

The people who had been waiting for a long time on the ships in the harbor crowded on the deck and immediately cheered.

Their eyes widened, and they prayed in their hearts that the generous Oriental man would be able to board their ship.

"Slow down, Tom."

Listening to the cheers around him, Tang Sen said, "I still have a guest who hasn't boarded the boat, and we have to give him a little time." ”

"Guest?"

Tom tilted his head in confusion, and without Don't suddenly ask, he obeyed the order and let the current slowly push the boat away from Port Royal.

Every time a merchant ship passes, there is a sigh of disappointment from above.

"They thought they had lost their chance." Tom laughed.

"The surprise after the disappointment is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, isn't it?" Tang Sen looked back, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked: "Oh, it seems that our guests have already figured it out." ”

I saw a small boat rowing towards Townsend quickly, and Mr. Turner on the boat had a look of righteousness on his face.

"Mr. Turner?" Tom was surprised, "Does Mr. Tang want to recruit him?" Before that, just open your mouth, I don't think anyone can refuse Mr. Tang's solicitation. ”

Townsend smiled but didn't say a word.

Money can indeed attract William Turner to his side, but the relationship that money brings is never strong, especially for someone like Mr. Turner.

The same goes for Jack Sparrow.

For these people who play a key role in his plan, Townsend needs to ensure that he is 100% in control of them and avoid accidents in the plan.

Of course, Townsend could also choose to tell Mr. Turner directly about his father's situation and simply and rudely ask him to follow him, but based on his understanding of Mr. Turner, he chose to spend more effort and mention his father in front of Mr. Turner again and again, but never used definite words, only subtly changed his mind.

Because people will always believe in the decisions they make for their own independent thinking, and will be steadfast in them, but they will always be a little suspicious of the stories that others have rudely indoctrinated.

Mr. Turner would not know that his so-called decision to think independently was induced by Townsen, and would only be grateful to Townsend for his willingness to help him.

"That's human nature."
