409 Peace talks

Soon, a group of pro-soldiers suddenly rushed out of the prime minister's house, they were holding scimitars, indiscriminately, and slashed indiscriminately on the street, killing and wounding fourteen people on the spot, and the prime minister's pro-soldiers also put several leaders into prison.

However, it is clear that the gates can no longer be sealed, so the Prime Minister's curfew has become a void.

On this night, the whole city of Holo was in a commotion, and the flow of people fleeing from all corners was surging, so that several main streets were crowded and busy, and there were several fires in Holo City, so the scenes of robbery and burglary were also staged everywhere......

Eventually, the panic and rumors that permeated the city turned into a city-wide exodus, and that night, the people of Holo spent a sleepless night in panic and chaos......

At the beginning of the morning on the sea, the waves were calm, and the fog had not yet cleared, when the crisp wake-up bell on the Nicole broke the surrounding silence, and people got up yawning and casually glanced at the dark and hazy city walls of Holo City in the distance.

It seemed to be peaceful, but at this moment, there was hardly anyone on board who cared about what had happened last night in the distant city, because the aroma of white rice porridge, steamed buns, and steamed salted fish had already filled the crew's cabin in the crew cafeteria.

Today was the fifth day of everyone's arrival outside of Hollow Harbor, and there was no tension in sailing, and there was no swaying in the storm, so everyone felt that they had a good night's sleep.

White flour steamed buns, rice porridge with sugar, a plate of pickles and a salted fish, and an egg and fruits and vegetables every other day are the standard breakfast for everyone on board, and today is no exception.

Just as everyone was chatting and eating together, the electric bell in the restaurant suddenly jingled, and the crew immediately stopped chatting and looked at the sea outside the porthole.

More often than not, something unexpected must have happened.

However, the dense fog on the sea has not yet dissipated, and nothing can be seen in the distance, and everyone is wondering, when Captain Gu's voice came from the loudspeaker of the restaurant:

"Attention the crew who did not work on the morning shift, and the crew who did not work on the morning shift, please assemble on the foredeck at once, and prepare to support the armed landing of the Pride in groups, just now, the city of Holo sent a negotiator...... Repeat again......"

An hour later, a few puffs of smoke came out of the Pride's chimney, and after a few whistles, it cautiously approached the dock again.

Prior to this, Li Sanduo ordered the lookout to be double-posted, and all the gun positions were in a state of imminent battle, and all the crew members who were not on duty and those with actual combat experience who had been supported from the Nicole were all loaded with live guns, and everyone was on the deck holding binoculars to carefully observe the direction of the city head and the dock.

Everyone is in a state of being a great enemy. Their mission is to keep a close eye on the docks and walls for any unusual movements, and to fire and report any anomalies if they are detected.

All of this was set up to provide maximum security for the few people who boarded the dock to contact the other party's envoys.

The distance of three hundred meters was quickly completed, and at this time, in the cockpit of the Pride, Li Sanduo had already seen a few people waving red flags on the edge of the pier trestle, and there was a group of soldiers behind them, and the soldiers could not see any weapons except rattan armor. There were several wooden chests neatly arranged around them, covered with red cloths, and although they could not see what was in the boxes through the binoculars, they were judged to be some gold and silver or other goods.

There are two people in this team of soldiers, and one of them, Li Sanduo, actually knows - it is the captain of the pulp discharge boat Haluban who was captured a few days ago and put back!

Apparently, this one was sent back by his master to deliver a message to us.

A few minutes later, Zhu Beiguo, Wei Hong, Ai Lushi, Wei Dongli, Li Dewei, Fang Linyou, and Su Gaofeige, plus Xue Laixiang, a translator and negotiation assistant, a total of eight people appeared on the dock pier and the foredeck of the Pride.

Except for Xue Laixiang, each of them was fully armed, carrying an AK47, a large Colt python **** pinned to his waist, wearing a motorcyclist's helmet and big scalp boots.

And Xue Laixiang is also dressed in this outfit, but the weapon is different, he pinned a Colt python in his waist, which is still a trumpet.

The brothers stood at the end of the board for a while, and after a long time, they couldn't see any unusual movement in the city or the square, and then the group stepped down from the side of the ship and boarded the wooden trestle pier in Holo Harbor.

The trestle bridge more than 20 meters long walked through a few steps, and when Zhu Beiguo and his party had not yet approached each other, the soldiers and the two people who were still standing in front of everyone just now suddenly became a big shorter.

Of course, Zhu Beiguo would not go up to help people, he raised his hand to stop his partner behind him, and glanced at Xue Laixiang beside him.

So Xue Laixiang took a few steps forward and asked in a loud voice:

"Who's coming!?"

Probably Xue Laixiang's voice was too loud, or the environment of this dock square was too lonely, in short, Xue Laixiang's roar frightened the shoulders of the kneeling people in front of him, and at this time, the person kneeling next to the captain of the pulp row boat raised his head and said to Xue Laixiang:

"Brother Xue is fine, do you remember having a drink with your brother before leaving?"

"Brother Zheng in front?"

"It's Zheng Fu, here to meet Brother Xue......"

The person who called himself Zheng Fu bowed his head after speaking, Xue Laixiang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to help him up, just stood in place, clasped his hands into fists, and said loudly:

"Brother Zheng, don't be polite, now that Xue has a mission, is the king here to talk to us?"

"His Majesty hereby ...... to the gods The Australian Commonwealth came to make amends, if God ...... Boat...... That...... If the Australian Federation can digest the conflict, our country is willing to compensate Brother Xue...... All the losses of Han Shang Xue Laixiang, today in order to show sincerity, specially prepare a small gift, and hope that the Australian Federation will come to accept it......"

Obviously, Zheng Fu was a little nervous at this time, and the words he said were also stammering, and there was no smoothness, but he finally finished what he was going to say.

Here, Zhu Beiguo also walked over and asked Xue Laixiang in a low voice:

"Brother Xue, is this Zheng Fu the deceased of Er's relatives?"

At this time, Xue Laixiang had already taken two steps back to Zhu Beiguo's side, tilted his head and responded in a low voice:

"Exactly, this person's surname is Zheng Mingfu, who was originally a personal soldier under the Tang Dynasty, and because he was familiar with water, he was later used by the national surname. Two years ago, Zheng Fu came to this Sulu country with the shipowner to trade, and the ship sank in a storm and lost the goods, leaving only the lives of the shipowner and his partner Zheng Fu, the shipowner was afraid that the law of the country's surname was severe, and he did not dare to reply, so he drove a small boat to land in Sulu nearby, and then met Sulu officers and soldiers, in order to escape as a slave, the two hid in the jungle for several days, and wanted to drive a small boat to re-go to sea and flee to Hongmaoyi Port in order to make a living, but then met Sulu officers and soldiers again on the way, the shipowner had to escape, and drove the boat to Hongmaoyi Port.

Leaving Zheng Fu alone for the officers and soldiers obtained, because of literacy and hyphenation, for the throne of the king of Wendu Hara under the great eunuch Fu Su as a house slave, Zheng Fu has no support, and can only survive in this way, and because he is good at planning and accounting, for the rich Su to use, now the dock silk shop for the king to do business. My brother traveled to Sulu several times before and became close friends with him. ”

"From Brother Xue's point of view, what is this person's character?"

"There is nothing evil in character, but he is timid, and he never wants to take risks in everything, but when his brother connected the Sulu Kingdom to the ring, Zheng Fushang warned Yu not to eat his bait, but a certain greedy value of goods, and he should not be ......"
