Chapter 82 Venetian Merchant!
"Well, why did Miss Shi agree without even knowing that I was asking for help?" Liang Pengfei felt that his brain was very painful, at least he couldn't figure out why Shi Xianggu was so happy.
"Because I know you won't be against me." Shi Xianggu raised the corners of her mouth gently and said faintly, but her eyes seemed to be recalling something.
The corner of the manager Lu's eyes was tilted in the air, and his mouth became a hippo with tooth extraction under the shadowless lamp. Shi Dakai's face was completely twisted and deformed, like a bitter gourd that had been trampled on by more than ten feet in the vegetable market.
The other guards have bright eyes one by one, and they have such an expression. Liang Pengfei was also stunned, and his excited hand almost burned a scar on the cigar head. I didn't expect that Shi Xianggu was so fierce and bold that she dared to say such ambiguous words to herself in broad daylight. What is this not enough to tease herself naked?
"What's wrong with you? Didn't Liang Shao say that I wouldn't be malicious to you last time? I'm just heart to heart." Seeing the strange eyes of everyone present, Shi Xianggu explained awkwardly. However, her explanation had no convincing effect at all except for a group of heads shaking up and down.
Liang Pengfei's originally fluttering heart suddenly fell back, but in addition to regret, she was still a little complacent. At least now when Shi Xianggu is facing herself, she is no longer as cold and strange as she was at the beginning. This is a good progress.
This made Shi Xianggu more cramped. Fortunately, at this time, Master Liang coughed twice and attracted everyone's attention, which made Shi Xianggu get rid of the embarrassment.
"Actually, I hope that the Liangshi families can unite and go to Luzon." Liang Pengfei said his ultimate goal.
--------------------
"Are you going to capture Luzon?!" Shi Xianggu took a cold breath and stared at the apricot's eyes. The cigarette that was about to be said in his mouth was almost stuffed into his nostrils. Except for Bai Shusheng and Monk Chen, who had heard the young master mention this matter, all the others looked at Liang Pengfei in surprise.
Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes and said, "Miss Shi, you will be wrong. I'm not going to capture Luzon. If I want to capture it, with the strength of your two families, it is still a little lacking, so this time, I just want to take advantage of the Xiyi pirates to be disabled by us, and most of Luzon's warships and soldiers were captured by us. , come to the door to ask for the crime.
"Now, I have more than a thousand Spanish prisoners of war and a princess in my hand. If I don't fight Qiu Feng, I'm really sorry for myself." Liang Pengfei directly revealed his thoughts, and Lu Yuan suddenly nodded. Master, your idea is really good. Most of Luzon's military power is in our hands. It is indeed the most appropriate time to push Luzon at this time.
Shi Xianggu looked at Liang Pengfei for a while and nodded: "Yes, in that case, I will accept the gift you gave me, but your gift is still too rich, but if you don't want it, let alone my brother, even my men will blame me as the leader. In this way, I want ten armed fast boats, but I only need three warships, how about it?
Shi Da opened his mouth and squirmed, but when he saw Shi Xianggu's sweeping eyes, he could only hold it alive, and his face swelled up like a red buttocks by the board.
"Good! Refreshing." Liang Pengfei patted on the table and stood up excitedly. In this way, the problem he had worried about was completely solved.
Aunt Shi Xiang said again, "In addition, my Shi family also has some connections in Luzon. I will send someone to contact them first. However, on Luzon Island, the Chinese have the least status, and they are bullied, which will not help us much."
Hearing this, Liang Pengfei couldn't help thinking of the information about the history of the blood and tears of the Chinese in Nanyang that he had read in later generations, and snorted: "It doesn't matter. This time, Mr. Liang went to Luzon, and naturally he had to settle the old account of the new account. However, before, we had to wait for my father to arrive on the island and have enough people to guard the laborers before we can leave at ease.
"Young master, don't worry, the little one has sent a fast ship to pick up the old man. By the way, tell the young master the good news of your victory over the Xiyi pirates and the Spanish. I believe that the master will arrive in a few days." Lu Yuan said with a smile.
--------------------
"In this room, according to the young master's instructions, the best doctor on our island guarded him at night and finally saved him." Bai Shusheng led the way ahead, followed by Master Liang.
" OK, go in and have a look." Liang Pengfei passed Bai Shusheng, stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain. He saw a middle-aged man lying on the bed in the room. However, after seeing his appearance clearly, Liang Pengfei couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The overseas merchant seems to be in his thirties at most. His black hair and yellow skin surface his race, but the high nose bridge and tall eyebrow bones show the characteristics of Westerners.
"Mixed-race?" Liang Pengfei walked to the bed and muttered in a low voice.
At this time, the seaman who had closed his eyes to rest opened his eyes, and a pair of eyes with blue pupils fell on Liang Pengfei standing in front of him.
"This is my young master, who snatched you back from the pirates and ordered you to be saved anyway." Next to him, the doctor who had just sorted out the medicinal herbs in another room had come over and introduced him to the seaman.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Liang. If it hadn't been for your help, I would have gone to see God now." The merchant struggled to sit up. After the thin blanket on his body slipped off, Liang Pengfei saw that his chest was tightly tied with bandages, and his face was full of fatigue.
Although his Chinese is not very standard, he is very fluent, which makes Liang Pengfei have a good impression on him.
"You're welcome. I'm just coming to have a look. I deeply sympathize with you for your suffering, but don't worry, I'll ask my men to clean up your goods and return them to you." Liang Pengfei sat on a chair brought by Monk Chen and smiled at the mixed-race of the East and West.
"I'm very sorry. I haven't given my name yet. My name is Max. Luo, oh, according to the habits of the Orientals, you can call me Romes. My grandfather's father was Chinese. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he avoided disaster overseas and arrived in Venice in the West, where he settled down. Although Romes looked a little tired, he was quite happy and talked to Liang Pengfei about his experience.
His family has been living in the Western world and engaged in various businesses, but they have never forgotten their hometown. Romes' great-grandfathers and grandfathers have left their last wishes that after their death, their ashes can return to the hot land of their hometown.
And Romes' generation is already the fourth generation. Just two years ago, Romes's 85-year-old grandfather also passed away, and the business of Romes's family in Venice is also booming. However, Romes' family still never forgets the teachings of their fathers, and more than a hundred years have passed. They also learned in the West that the Ming Dynasty had already disappeared, and the country had returned to calm, so his father asked him to take the ashes of his great-grandfather and grandfather to the mainland so that they could return to their hometown.
Hearing the story of Romes, Liang Pengfei sighed. This is the unique hometown feelings of the Chinese nation all over the world, and it is this kind of blood-linked emotion that makes the hearts of countless overseas Chinese people always turn to the hometown of China.
"No wonder we found a lot of dust in the bottom cabin. At that time, we didn't care. Unexpectedly, they were the ashes of your great-grandfather and grandfather. Please rest assured, I will ask them to collect the ashes immediately." Liang Pengfei nodded to Romes and looked at Bai Shusheng.
Bai Shusheng understood and immediately walked out of the room and ordered the guards guarding outside to do it immediately. Soon, the rapid footsteps disappeared outside the house.
Romes nodded to Liang Pengfei with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for your help. I thought I would die close to my hometown."
"It doesn't matter. Every Chinese should join hands to help. After all, there is a yellow blood flowing in our bodies." Liang Pengfei's hand fell on Romes' shoulder and sighed with emotion.
"Yes, I have a question, Mr. Liang, why do you keep such a head?" Romes is a little strange that Liang Pengfei's pig tail-like braids, not to mention it's okay. When it comes to Master Liang, he has a black line on his face. He said that your grandmother's, what he hated most in those years was the braided play. Now he has become a man who combs his braids, and he is really unhated to the extreme.
Seeing Liang Pengfei's unhappy look, Romes said nervously, "I'm really sorry. Maybe I'm too rude to ask such a question."
"It doesn't matter. This is the momentum of those Manchu people. In those years, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Dynasty once gave a shaving order. Han people in the world left their heads without hair, and left their hair without leaving their heads. Just for this braid, I don't know how many Chinese children have died. Liang Pengfei's hand grabbed the braid in front of him. Although the hair braided into this braid was on his head, Liang Pengfei didn't like the pig's tail all his life.
"Wait, I will let those beasts who only wear wild boar skins and eat raw meat in the deep mountains and forests know that retribution is terrible, and will make Man Qing remember eternal life." Master Liang gritted his teeth and stared at the black and oily man's braids, as if he were his own enemy of life and death, killing his father's enemy.
