Chapter 463: Hot Spring Bathhouse
After the soldiers split up, Gibbs sneaks into the underground drain with most of the pirate crew, while Xu Feng, Barbossa, and Elizabeth go straight to the largest hot spring bathhouse in Singapore.
Tia Dorma remained at the docks and did not participate in the operation.
Before entering the hot spring bathhouse, Xu Feng deliberately stopped and asked Barbossa, "Is there anything valuable?" β
Barbossa shook his head, "No. β
"You went to collect debts, and you didn't get anything valuable?" Xu Feng asked.
Barbossa opened her mouth, and reluctantly pulled out an emerald ring the size of a pigeon's egg from her belt.
"This, you can change to a small pirate ship!" Barbossa pained as she took out the emerald and gemstone ring.
Xu Feng took the emerald and gemstone ring and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?" β
Barbossa sighed and pulled out another identical emerald ring from his bosom, "Well, it's a pair, it's worth a fortune." β
Xu Feng took the ring and nodded slightly, "This is down, it's not empty-handed." β
Elizabeth on the side asked curiously, "Are you going to give these two rings to Howling Wind?" Isn't that a tribute to him? β
Xu Feng said with a smile: "This is the customary etiquette of the Tang people, the first time you meet and visit, you don't bring a gift, it is contempt and disrespect, the Tang people don't really care about what they give, what they care about is the respect that is in line with their status." β
"Okay." Elizabeth shrugged.
The three of them walked into the hot spring bathhouse together.
The faΓ§ade of this bathhouse is very small, it seems to be just a small and inconspicuous bathhouse, and when you enter, it is also very narrow and foggy.
"How many?" A Chinese man in a bathhouse robe walked over and asked with an unkind face.
Xu Feng said, "The three of us. β
The Tang man glanced at Elizabeth, "Men and women bathing together?" β
Xu Feng smiled, "We're here to meet Lord Xiaofeng. β
The Tang man immediately said vigilantly: "There is no Lord Howling Wind here, if you want to take a bath, go there and pay the bath money first." β
"Okay." Xu Feng didn't refute anything, but walked to the place where the fee was charged, and asked with a light smile, "How much?" β
"Ten gold coins." The Tang man who was in charge of the charge didn't raise his eyelids, and smoked a hookah.
"What? Ten pieces!? You shabby bathhouse take a bath, and you actually ask for ten gold coins! Elizabeth couldn't help but say angrily.
As the daughter of a pampered governor, her bathing place is more than ten times more luxurious than here!
The person who charged the fee said coldly: "You are three people bathing together, of course the fee is too high." β
"We're not!" Elizabeth yelled loudly.
Xu Feng said, "We are, come, here are ten gold coins." β
As he spoke, Xu Feng took out ten gold coins and placed them in front of the person who charged the fee.
The person who charged the fee didn't even look at it, "Ten coins for one person, and if you three go in together, it will cost thirty." β
Elizabeth said angrily: "If it's just one person who goes in, then it's not a three-person bath, so do you still take ten?" β
The person who charged the fee replied, "Yes, it's still ten." β
ββ¦β¦ Excessively! Elizabeth said angrily, "You are robbers!" β
The person who charged the fee sneered, "Aren't you? β
Elizabeth opened her mouth and was speechless for a long time.
On her way to Singapore, Elizabeth learns that the Dondo Trading Company has released a list of pirates who are not on the list, but she is also classified as a pirate and has a bounty of 5,000 gold coins.
Will's bounty is 8,000, which is a cut above her.
This also made Elizabeth secretly unconvinced, why is she less than Will? Is it just because she's a woman?
Xu Feng took out another twenty gold coins and placed them in front of the person who charged the fee.
The man who charged the fee accepted all thirty gold coins, and then nodded to the Tang man in the bathrobe inside.
The bathrobe man immediately shouted, "Two men and one woman, three people bathing together!" β
Inside, he also responded loudly: "Two men and one woman, three people bathing together!" Pleaseβ"
Elizabeth muttered quietly, "We're not here to bathe. β
The bathrobe Tang led the three of them through the narrow porch and into the bathroom inside.
The steam was rising in the bathroom, and some Tang people were soaking in the hot spring pool, looking at Xu Feng and the others with strange eyes.
Among them, some people have dragons tattooed on their bodies, and their expressions look extremely fierce.
Obviously, these are Howling Wind's men.
After passing through the steaming bathroom, the bathrobe man stopped in front of a wall and patted the wet wall with his hand, "Two men and one woman, three people bathing together." β
The wall slammed apart, and the bathrobe Tang walked in with the three of them.
Once inside, the walls were closed, and a large group of heavily armed Tang pirates, armed with muskets, stared at them fiercely.
"It's not like a bathing place." Xu Feng smiled faintly.
A Tang man led by him walked out and said with a sneer: "You guys are not here to take a bath, no one will be stupid enough to spend thirty gold coins to take a bath." β
"That's right, we're here to meet Howling Wind." Xu Feng said bluntly.
The Tang man at the head said: "Lord Xiaofeng is not here, I have the final say here, if there is anything, just look for me." β
Xu Feng smiled: "What do you call it?" β
The Tang man at the head said: "Qin Huang." β
"Okay, Qin Huang, my name is Xu Feng, this is Barbossa, one of the nine pirate kings, worth five hundred thousand gold coins, and this is the female pirate Elizabeth, worth five thousand gold coins." Xu Feng introduced with a smile.
Qin Huang raised his eyelids, "Barbossa? I heard that Barbossa is dead. β
Barbossa grinned, "Yes, I'm dead, but I'm alive again, and it's all thanks to the goddess of the sea, Kolybuso!" β
"Female sea god? I've heard Howling Wind mention it. Qin Huang said coldly: "But just a few words from yours can't prove anything, I can still say that I am Xiaofeng!" β
Barbossa grinned, "You're not Howling Wind, I've seen Howling Wind, he's baldβunless, of course, he's grown new hair in the last dozen years." Oh yes, he also has two long mustaches, and he is always accompanied by two stunning twins, one named Lian and the other Park. β
Qin Huang frowned slightly, turned around and muttered a few words to his subordinates, and the subordinate nodded hurriedly and ran to the back room.
Qin Huang said coldly: "You guys wait here, I've already found someone to inform Miss Lian, Miss Pu, and they will come to test whether you are true or not." β
Barbossa grinned, "That's great. β
