The layout of Rhodes Island is similar to that of other western ports, in front of which is the bay where ships are suspended, there are basically coastal mountains or some other sheltered shelters on both sides, and there are commercial areas and workshops next to each other, although Rhodes City is a military port, but when the Roman Empire was strong, the military needs here were not prominent, compared to the military function, the commercial function was more prominent, it was connected to the trade of Asia, Europe and Africa, it was an important commercial port, and some naval ships were only to fight piracy. ≤?∧≦≥∈.╊╳.╈c╈

Who knew that in the seventh century, the catastrophe that struck the Western Roman Empire more than 400 years ago was like the destruction of Attila, the whip of God, first with the rise of Islan, who took away almost all of the eastern provinces of the empire, and then by the usurpation of Constantine IV, who lost a large number of soldiers in the civil war with Princess Anna.

Unlike the craftsmen of the East, the status of the craftsmen in the West is very high, and they are very organized, and almost every industry and commerce is divided into leather guilds, sea salt guilds, blacksmith unions, etc., but recently the trade has dried up, and these craftsmen have temporarily lost their jobs.

The liveliest part of the whole wharf, the tavern, where few Aegean merchants traded, where the artisans who borrowed wine to drown their sorrows spent their last copper plates, drunkenly lying on the tables cursing the damned war, and the air was filled with the foul smell of stinky fish, stinky feet, and the strange smell of cheap ale. ≮∈ ≧≈.╊┿.

Of course, it was also a paradise for pirates, whether it was a silver cross snatched from the hands of good Christians, or the last ration of a poor fellow Asian citizen, unconscionable merchants would always eat it with a smile on their faces, and of course, the price was often not so beautiful.

A blackglass sign with a bubbling beer has naturally become a key destination for Scarface and Mulan's gang of pirates.

followed Scarface, who suddenly became happy from his heart, walked in, and before Li Yexu complained that this place was too much worse than the orchid restaurant in Damin, a disgusting smell that was even more smoky than the smell of stinky fish on the boat almost didn't make Li Yexu spit out on the spot, and his subordinates were also white, but this smell actually had a kind of sweet feeling for Scarface, and he even ran to a log table inside that hadn't even cleaned the bark, and snatched the ale glass that was still sticking to his spit from a drunk's confused hand, Gollum poured it down.

Li Yexu was so disgusted that he vomited, and the drunkard with a red rosacea, a white head, and a short and fat goblin who was similar to the real version of the goblin also jumped up immediately.

"Oh God! You scoundrel! Thou hast snatched the last ale from a sorrowful man whose last brass plate you bought, and thou art as greedy as the devil! ”

But rubbing his drunken hazy eyes, the drunk exclaimed in disbelief: "Oh! I'm not mistaken! Old Tom, weren't you and Miss Serana captured by the Min people and hanged? You're not going to crawl out of hell to find me, are you? ”

The ale that hadn't been swallowed was directly sprayed out by Scarface for more than half of it, staring at the goblin, Scarface shouted angrily: "God is above, we still have so many years of business!" You cursed me to death? I'm the first to come back to you with the goods! No, old Thomas, what did you just say? The last copper plate! Oh! Then you won't be able to eat what we brought back! Then I'll find someone else! ”

When it came to business, this drunken goblin actually jumped up to an incredible height with an inch of strength, and hugged Scarface's neck, and he didn't know how thick his skin was, so he forgot what he just said, and shouted impatiently: "Take it to Lao Tzu!" Lao Tzu will definitely give the highest price! ”

At this time, business is rare, although the pirates bring back each time is either written tattered bottles and cans, or some very poor and worthless things, like tea foam, with a strong smell of military boots and military coats, unfiltered flies and small legs are also meat, take these goods to and the fishermen and hillbillies who have never seen the world in their lives, they can still exchange some good things, and the fly legs are small and meat, and the old goblin is still quite positive. ≮⊥∧V network ∧≮.┯╇.╋c╬

But hearing him say that he was here to take out the goods, Scarface finally hesitated, then gritted his teeth fiercely and beckoned to the back. ≦.╊.

Li Yexu's face was a little ugly, and his scarred face was suffocating, and many idlers in the tavern were all focused on it, he came here to lurk and cause sabotage, and the more eye-catching he was, the more uncomfortable it was, but seeing his hesitant appearance, Mulan, who was walking behind him, suddenly whispered.

"The details of our goods have been known to Governor Rhodes, bringing so many things, coming back and sneaking around, it is inevitable to arouse suspicion, it is better to make a lively and lively people know, so that Governor Rhodes does not dare to plot behind our backs to steal our goods, besides, this place is the best place to find out the news, show the rich, only those who have a heart will send **** to give us information!"

I didn't expect this chick to have the talent of espionage, I was stunned for a moment, Li Yexu couldn't help but nod, Dongfang Shuoyun: The small is hidden in the wild, the middle is hidden in the world, and the big is hidden in the court! There was a lot of uproar in the market, but it was better to hide his true face, thinking of this, he nodded approvingly, and Li Yexu played a competent guy again and went out to move things.

However, Li Yexu is still a little skeptical about what Mulan said about Lu Fu, the things he brought are just some materials intercepted from the quartermaster, and the military supply is naturally not a high-class commodity, the largest and most ordinary, even the silk he brought is not for clothes, but a kind of bandage used to bandage wounds, and the inferior silk used, and the cotton cloth that can not jump on the big wound, although it cannot be corrupted, but if the reason is right, Li Yexu can approve as many as he wants. ≦≮≮≈⊥≈≈.

However, when these worthless tea and silk in Li Yexu's eyes and some of the inferior porcelain vases that the navy got were placed on the table, the noise of the entire tavern 1 stopped, and Li Yexu obviously felt that a series of greedy hot eyes fell on the table, and the old Thomas was stunned to flow out of the Halazi, and the incredible Beijing suburban knife: "This is a high-quality Fujian product, and only those archbishops and nobles in Constantinople can enjoy it!" Where did you get it from? ”

It stands to reason that it is Daji to find out the source of other people's goods, especially pirates like Scarface, but these objects are indeed amazing, and everyone is curious, so they don't care about the rules for a while, and Li Yexu and Mulan's hearts are chuckling under the blazing gaze.

They hadn't thought about explaining it.

But fortunately, there is a scarface, this thing can make up nonsense without turning the eyelids, a fart with a few lies, seeing that the spirit of a curious baby is all gathered on himself, Scarface laughed, grinning out the wormholes of the back molars.

"Half a month ago, our brother's boat turned against the water, you know the old goblin!"

"Yes! You were almost hung on the mast by the Min people and sent to God, phew, no, just old Tom, you will see Satan when you see it. ”

The old goblin's sarcasm was directly Scarface's unheard, and Scarface spit and boasted triumphantly.

"That day, it was really dangerous, just scar me, and our leader, were hung on the mast for the Fujian people, it was really swaying with the wind! I almost lost my breath! ”

"Hang on there! I began to repent, confess the sins of my life, but before thinking about it, I want to go to Scar, I am either diving for the nun or picking things for the priest all day long, a body of merit, I am not guilty! It was at this point that Christ appeared to the old man! ”

In this era, theocracy dominates most of the minds of Westerners, and listening to what Scarface said is true, although he doesn't believe that this thing can be innocent and a saint, but these idle businessmen are still shocked when they hear it, and even Li Yexu is surprised.

Hang this goods on the mast and give it back to him? I knew I wouldn't let him down.

"What did the old man Christ say?"

Listening to the anxious inquiry, Scarface, who had sold several passes, smiled, and said: "Christ and his old man said that I and the head of our family should not be killed by doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, and there is great wealth and wealth coming to us, and as soon as he finished speaking, a few of us were put down from the gallows!" ”

"It turned out that a Fujian officer fell in love with our eldest lady! For the sake of overnight joy, no, this gives us so many things! But what a character my young lady is, even if she succumbs to the infidels, but she is also kind of persuasion, so that the Fujian officer is weird about Christ, tsk, we are really meritorious! ”

I didn't expect Scarface to actually wrap herself in, Mulan's pretty wheat-colored face couldn't help but flush with shame, but her hand was pinched Li Yexu's thigh, and the painful Li Yexu grinned and didn't know what was going on.

Others also understand that the emotional scarface has broken a lot, and their captain has made a mistress for other people's Fujian people.

But there is no shame in this, and looking at a table of good things, it is still a great thing, old Thomas couldn't help but flatten his shriveled mouth and lamented: "None of the old man's five daughters are bad, how can this kind of good thing not fall on the old man!" ”

There was also a prostitute in the tavern who glanced at Mulan provocatively, listening to the discussions, obviously feeling that the murderous aura in her head was getting stronger and stronger, and the trembling scarface hurriedly shouted loudly: "Do you still want to buy the goods?" ”

"I've got it all covered!" Scarface's words fell, and the old goblin had already jumped up like a rabbit, but beside him, more than a dozen merchants who were also blushing at this batch of goods also rushed over one after another: "Old Thomas, you can't eat it, what can you do?" ”

"Brother, I'm definitely bidding higher than him!"

Seeing a group of businessmen fighting for their goods, Scarface's back molars were once again happily exposed......
