In the morning, the sky was clear and the sea breeze was gentle. A few seagulls flew by leisurely and stopped on the ship's signal antenna.
There are a large number of colorful fishing boats docked at the naval base of the Principality of Nice. If it weren't for the ferocious coastal artillery muzzles on the cliffs on both sides, one would probably mistake it for a fishing port.
On the pier, a grand meeting ceremony was being held.
The crowd divided into two sides, leaving an empty space in the middle.
The two parties meeting were completely different. One party was well-mannered, neat and tidy, wearing a straight military uniform or a luxurious dress, while the other party seemed a little poor and shabby. Most of them are dressed as fishermen. The clothes made of rough linen are not very particular, with patches here and there, and the colors are even more varied. The skin is generally yellow and has pits, and you can tell at a glance that he is someone who has been making a living at sea all year round.
There were only a few people who looked like leaders and were well-dressed. They wore red coats that were common at sea, with the sides turned up and captain's hats with waterfowl feathers. But they all looked a little dirty, as if they hadn't been washed for a long time.
If any residents of the Principality of Nice saw it at this moment, they would definitely be shocked. When did the Kingdom's navy get to be in the same frame as a fisherman and pirate?
After the welcoming drum music ended, Chen Xing walked out of the queue, came to Shade Sinclair, and bowed solemnly.
"Thank you for coming to the rescue again!"
"Your great kindness will never be forgotten by me!"
The pirate captain's behavior was a little strange. He stared blankly at the young man in front of him, looking left and right, looking a little confused.
For a moment, the scene was completely silent. The Prime Minister personally thanked him, but the other party looked like he didn't recognize him.
At this time, a man with fair skin and the appearance of an assistant ran up from behind and whispered in the pirate captain's ear, "He is the prime minister of the Red Kingdom, Mr. Chen Xing."
"oh oh……"
The pirate captain showed an expression of sudden realization, then wrinkled his face, and instantly turned into a flattering smile. He stepped forward to hold Chen Xing's hand and shook it up and down vigorously to show his warmth and friendship.
"Oh, you are the Prime Minister."
"Please take good care of me in the future!"
Chen Xing had long been used to Shade Sinclair's craziness, so he just smiled lightly, but the people around him couldn't sit still.
Facing such different painting styles, everyone felt a chill behind them. They couldn't figure out what was going on and what expressions they should use to face it.
Lacey, who was standing next to Chen Xing, was speechless, as if ten thousand crows were flying overhead. She suddenly regretted it and felt that everyone involved with Chen Xing was crazy, including herself. "Anyway, I must thank you for your generous help!" Chen Xing said with a calm gaze and a serious attitude, "Without your help this time, we would have been completely wiped out."
"Therefore, as the supreme military commander of the Kingdom, and on behalf of all the personnel of the East China Sea Fleet, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you and your friends again!"
After saying that, Chen Xing bowed ninety degrees again and saluted. All members of the navy, including Lacey and Bai Yefenghua, also bowed and saluted, expressing their gratitude to these Seagull Island fishermen who came halfway and turned the tide of the battle.
"If there is any need on Seagull Island in the future, I will definitely do my best to help." Chen Xing said,
The pirate captain seemed uncomfortable with such a serious scene. He looked around, a little at a loss, and even whistled to relieve the pressure.
"Shhhhhhhhh..."
Then he started talking to himself, "I have a little parrot, you know, the kind of bird that can talk..."
"I usually feed some leftover bread crumbs, but don't add jam. My last bird died after eating jam..."
"I made a small coffin for it, that kind of wooden box..." Shade Sinclair gestured, "Such a big box, and then I put it in the sea, and it floated like this, and then I I took out my pistol..." He showed a mysterious smile, "Yes, I took out my pistol, because I thought it would probably cause seasickness if it floated like this..."
Listening to the "story" told by Shad Sinclair, everyone looked embarrassed, but they were too embarrassed to show it.
Chen Xing acted calmly and calmly, and occasionally added one or two sentences, such as "This is a really good idea." "Did it get seasick in the end?" etc., just like two mental patients chatting.
Everyone wants to plug their ears. If they continue to listen like this, sooner or later they will go crazy.
They could never have imagined that the world-famous Legend of the Deep Sea was actually a lunatic who spoke incoherently.
As he spoke, Shade Sinclair suddenly hardened his face and became extremely serious, "Friends, it's time for us to talk about the distribution of benefits this time."
That calm gaze and wise look seemed like a different person. Chen Xing was stunned. He couldn't wrap his mind around such a sudden sentence.
"You, what do you mean?" Chen Xing asked subconsciously.
"Split the money. If you go out and rob something, you must split it." The pirate captain said seriously.
"Hey!" At this time, assistant Xiao Wu grabbed Shade Sinclair and reminded him in a low voice, "Captain, you are no longer the Lord of the Seven Seas. It is not up to you to discuss the assignment."
"What, I'm not the Lord of the Seven Seas anymore?" The pirate captain looked shocked.
"Have you forgotten? You lost the last duel, so you are not now." Assistant Xiao Wu said.
"Isn't it? It's impossible, right? How could I lose?" The pirate captain shook his head, "You must have made a mistake." Then he pointed at his assistant Xiao Wu's nose and announced, "You are a liar, I I’m going to throw you into the ocean to feed the sharks.”
At this moment, a cold murderous aura came from behind Shade Sinclair. Like a cold wind blowing across the sea, it is bitingly cold.
"Oh, I remember..." The pirate captain seemed to suddenly remember something and walked aside to himself, "I haven't had breakfast today!"
"Xiao Wu, where is my grilled fish sandwich?"
"How many times have I told you, I don't want coffee, I want ale!"
As Shad Sinclair left, a female pirate with a tough temperament came up. Wearing a red coat and a captain's hat, underneath was a military uniform from an unknown country, with two rows of gold buttons shining. Although it is a bit dirty, among this group of fishermen and pirates, it can be considered gorgeous.
"Hello, Prime Minister." The female pirate stretched out her hand to shake Chen Xing's hand, and then introduced herself in her unique, low and hoarse voice, "I am the Lord of the Seven Seas, the Red Coral of Seagull Island, and the Mother of Predators. The owner of the ship, the daughter of Shad Sinclair."
Now it finally felt like a diplomatic occasion. Chen Xing also introduced himself, "I am the holder of the Ring of the Kingdom, the enemy of the Seven Layers Mountain, the highest military commander of the Kingdom, Chen Xing from Orchid Town. !”
After the two parties introduced themselves, adhering to the simple and rough style of pirates, Red Coral directly put forward the conditions.
"In the last war, we chose to side with you."
"According to the rules of Seagull Island, you must pay a ransom to redeem the lives we saved."
"Well..." Chen Xing pondered for a while, glanced at Bai Yefenghua and Lacey beside him, and said, "We need to discuss it internally."
Hong Coral said nothing and made a "please" gesture.
Chen Xing took the two women to the back and said directly without discussing anything, "You guys go and talk."
"It's easier for women to talk to women."
"In principle, if you can give less, give less. If you can owe something, then owe it first."
"As you know, during the war, there is a shortage of money everywhere..."
The two women understood, nodded and left.
