Louis Pete has been very depressed recently. It has been a few months since he came to this new place. Although he has no worries about food and drink, the place he lives in is too small and there is very little space for activities. Although Louis Pete was also a sailor.
, this kind of life is acceptable, but after all, it is on the sea, and you can feel the vastness of the sea at any time!
The most terrifying opponent in life is not disease or poverty, but loneliness!
Like now, being locked up in a small house the size of a pigeon cage, facing the wall in a daze every day, Louis Pete felt like he was going crazy!
Heavy footsteps sounded, and the crisp sound of clinking porcelain was heard not far away. Louis Peter quickly got up and slapped the door and window hard, "Hey~! Tell your leader, I want to see him, I want to see him~
!I am from a noble noble family of the British Empire, you can’t do this to me!”
These days, the only thing Louis Pete can do is yell at the soldiers who come to deliver meals every day. Although this has no effect, it makes him fluent in Chinese a lot!
Thinking of those bland and disgusting foods, Louis Pete suddenly lost his appetite. Over the past few months, he may have lost dozens of pounds and was already skin and bones.
At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and Louis Pete jumped up suddenly, grabbed the visitor's ankle, and shouted loudly: "Hey! Brother, brother! You must report to your leader for me, I
I will pay you! Gold coins, gold coins, I have many, many gold coins!”
Louis~Peter was talking and gesticulating, and there was no gentleman or aristocratic demeanor. I was afraid that it was not as good as the tramps on the streets of London.
Liu Ruyi couldn't help shaking her head and laughed. These days, she is really too busy. In addition to recruiting, training, and making muskets, Liu Ruyi and Xiao Zixin's marriage was also decided a few days ago. If it hadn't been the first day of the new year,
Maybe Liu Ruyi really can’t remember Louis~Peter!
"Oh! My dear gentleman! What on earth happened? You don't look very good now!" Liu Ruyi spread her hands innocently.
Suddenly hearing the familiar English, Louis~Pete's eyes widened suddenly. He looked up and saw Liu Ruyi's smiling face. He couldn't help shouting in pain: "Dear Liu, you, you are finally here.
!I, I thought you had forgotten your dear friend?"
"Haha~~! How could this happen?" Liu Ruyi smiled, stretched out her hand to help Louis Peter up, and ordered the soldiers behind him to serve the sumptuous meal. He explained with a smile: "Dear noble gentleman, you need to know,
I am the master here, and there are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with every day! Therefore, noble gentleman, if I have been negligent in any way, I still have to ask for your forgiveness!"
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, she slapped her forehead hard and said: "Oh, by the way! Mr. Noble, today is our biggest festival of the year. I am very willing to share this wonderful moment with you~, enjoy it."
Enjoy these delicacies! Good luck to you, Mr. Noble!"
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Louis~Peter hugged Liu Ruyi's thigh fiercely, "Dear Liu, please wait a moment! I think we can talk, I really need your help now!"
Liu Ruyi turned around, glanced at Louis Pete, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth! 'It seems it's almost time. This foreign devil has been almost hanged. It's time to let him spit out some blood!
'
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi hurriedly ordered his soldiers to bring two chairs. After they sat down respectively, he said: "Dear noble gentleman, you know that our Chinese nation currently does not understand you white people, so we do not understand it."
Not very friendly! For safety reasons, I will only let you stay in a place like this temporarily, you know..."
Before Liu Ruyi could finish speaking, Louis~Peter hurriedly said: "Dear Liu, I understand, I understand! Thank you for your help to me these days! I think now is the time for me to repay something.
It’s time to give you something!”
"Oh! Thank God! I actually gained the trust of a British nobleman! What an amazing thing!" Liu Ruyi exaggeratedly crossed herself on her chest, "But, dear nobleman, what should I do?
What can I do for you?"
Louis~Peter was very satisfied with Liu Ruyi's gesture and hurriedly explained: "Dear Liu, you know, my friends and subordinates have been looking for my whereabouts, so what I need most now is a ship, and
How to contact them! I think you can help me with this, right? Of course, I will pay you five thousand gold coins for this as a reward!"
Liu Ruyi cursed in her heart, 'This damn foreign devil is so damn stingy! Aren't you claiming that you are a noble? Five thousand gold coins? How much gold is this? Do you want to buy your own life?'
"Dear noble gentleman! You know, although I am willing to help you, this is land and not close to the ocean! Moreover, our country has a no-sea policy! If I send someone out to inquire about information at a loss, if I am
Our Emperor will be beheaded if he finds out!" Liu Ruyi said hurriedly.
After hearing this, Louis Peter's face, which was originally full of joy, dimmed instantly. It took him a long time to react, and he quickly took Liu Ruyi's hand and said: "Dear Liu, you are a capable person! I know it.
, you must have a way! Please, help me! God will bless you too!"
Liu Ruyi smiled softly, but did not speak. She shook her head in disbelief!
This foreign devil is so funny! He didn't pay real money, but he still wanted me to take such a big 'risk'. How could something be so cheap in this world? Where did he think this was? Did the Eight-Nation Allied Forces enter the city back then?
In his previous life, Liu Ruyi was a businessman. At this moment, if he didn't get the benefits he wanted, how could he let go so easily?
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, not to mention this white-skinned foreign devil!
Seeing Liu Ruyi's attitude, Louis Pete couldn't help but knelt down on the ground in annoyance, crying: "Oh God! Please come and save your lost child!"
"Oh, Mr. Noble! You don't have to be too depressed! I think things are not so bad that it is so desperate! Maybe we still have the possibility of cooperation!" Liu Ruyi looked a little over the top.
I quickly took a small step back to leave a little room!
"But, but, I am penniless now and a pauper! Dear Liu, I can't give you any capital as your reward now! This, this is so desperate!" Louis~Peter was so weak.
He leaned back and looked at the sky in despair, his eyes full of unwillingness!
Liu Ruyi smiled softly, "Dear noble gentleman! I seem to have heard you say that your uncle is the Portuguese Governor in Macau! You know, Macau is my Chinese land, and the distance is not too far! If you can
Write a personal letter and I think my soldiers will be happy to deliver it to you!"
"Ah~~~! That's right!" Louis Pete couldn't help but jumped up and slapped his thigh hard, as if he were drowning in the water, grabbing a life-saving straw! "Dear Liu,
If you didn’t tell me, I would have forgotten about this matter! If we can reach Macau by land! I think my uncle will send someone to rescue me immediately! I will definitely ask him to pay you a heavy reward
!”
"Oh! Dear noble gentleman! You know, I like to make friends the most! We are friends, aren't we? Friends should help each other, and saying this is too far! Is it a reward? I really do
No need! However, I do have a little problem and need your help!" Liu Ruyi said with a smile.
During this time in China, Louis Peter gradually adapted to the way Chinese people speak and act. He was also cursing secretly in his heart, 'This damn yellow-skinned monkey talks more like a drama, but doesn't do real things!'
However, he just dared to curse in his heart, but said with a flattering smile on his face: "Dear Liu, I think my uncle is also happy to help you! But, what help can we provide you?
?”
Liu Ruyi looked into Louis Pete's eyes, and Louis Pete was also looking at Liu Ruyi. The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile softly.
Liu Ruyi said: "Noble sir, you know! I am a soldier! I have long heard that the artillery of the British Empire and the Portuguese Empire are extremely advanced. I heard that your British Empire's navy even defeated the Spanish Armada! I am very happy about this.
I am very interested in worshiping you, so I would like to entrust you to help me purchase some advanced artillery, muskets, etc. What do you think? Of course, I will pay for all of these!
"
Louis~Peter was stunned, and instantly understood what Liu Ruyi meant, and couldn't help laughing!
In this era, Britain and Portugal basically monopolized the arms trade in Europe. Liu Ruyi's request was a piece of cake for Louis Peter. It was extremely simple!
"Dear Liu, I am very honored to serve you! I think you don't have to wait too long for this matter! When I came here, a batch of new artillery had just been shipped from Europe. The businessman was a friend of my uncle.
I am worried that there will be no sales, and I am going to Japan to try my luck! If you want to eat it, I think they will be very happy!" Louis~Peter said hurriedly!
"Oh! This is great! Dear noble gentleman, please write a letter now! As long as the things arrive, I will definitely pay the money on time!" Liu Ruyi said with a smile.
Louis~Peter nodded vigorously, quickly found paper and pen, and started writing quickly!
Although the English written with a brush was very awkward, Liu Ruyi still understood the meaning and dried the ink on it with satisfaction. Liu Ruyi smiled and said: "Thank you so much! Mr. Noble! As long as your uncle's goods are delivered,
, I will ask him to pick you up together!"
"Ah~~~~~! What? Dear Liu, wasn't this letter sent by me personally?" Louis Pete opened his mouth in surprise!
"NO, NO, NO!" Liu Ruyi smiled and shook her head, "Dear noble gentleman, this is the rule for us Chinese people to do business, so please be patient for the time being! Oh, by the way! These things,
Just think of it as your consumption of food, drink and clothing these days!"
