0408 Not worth mentioning

An extremely beautiful ferocious beast was passing through the wide front of the port...

Jin Xiaoli Renn silently stared at the huge, elegant, extraordinary and outstanding ship shadow, and suddenly heard a lifeless order from a turret not far away.

"The target distance is 4,000, turn right for three minutes, raise for five minutes, and shoot solidly, release!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

There were continuous roars, and the water splashes exploded at the sea surface at least one kilometer away from the ship. Even the aftermath could not make the British on the opposite deck feel the slightest.

The fourth day of Muscat's port closure, January 13, early in the morning.

Xiao Liren lowered his head and sighed, quickly pulled up his scarf and got into his cabin.

There are seven or eight people in the cabin, Omani, who are the main ethnic group of the Muscat emirates. The Arabs are branched by the sea and generally look thinner, but stronger than the Arabs in the inland.

Xiao Liren did not hide his worries: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness..."

The woman holding the child in the middle of the crowd smiled at Xiao Li Renen. Under the obstruction of the black veil, she could only see her charming big black eyes, helplessness in her eyes, and drifting like duckweed, which suddenly injected strength into Xiao Li Renen.

The strong old man wrapped in a white turban next to the woman asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Xiao Liren, the princess and the prince have been hiding in your cabin for two days. Are you not ready to leave the port yet?"

"I'm waiting for a few things, the kind of treasure that can greatly increase success rate. This kind of thing can be seen everywhere in France, but in Muscat... it should be soon."

As he was speaking, a sailor outside the cabin shouted: "Captain, Tailor Buydu has delivered the golden gladiolus flag we wanted and your tuxedo. He is waiting for you to inspect the goods."

The old man's face turned dark: "Is the treasure you are talking about a flag and a dress?"

"It is probably difficult to understand with your understanding of the West." Xiaoliren rubbed his eyebrows, "I need to pretend to be a noble French nobleman. The class has unparalleled great power in our world. With it, I can defeat that ship of arrogant British and send you outside the blockade..."

After a while, the Golden Lamb completed all the preparations for departure. The bright blue golden gladiolus flag fluttered at the top of the main mast. Xiao Liren washed his face after shaving his beard, threw on a thin foundation, and stood dignifiedly in the middle of the deck.

Raise anchor, unzip cable, set sail, and reverse.

The Golden Lamb stopped again more than 300 meters away from the port, and as the waves undulate, drifted into the same place with the broken bones of the ships and the broken bones of people surrounding the bay.

This time the wait lasted about half an hour, and another huge warship rushed over and stopped at the sea 4.5 kilometers offshore, 4 kilometers away from the Golden Lamb.

The flag slogan came: [Warning: Matola prohibits leaving the port, please return to the berth after the sound of artillery. Forcibly leaving the port will be regarded as an attack on the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and no longer a second warning will be issued. Repeat, no second warning will be issued.]

Xiao Liren pinched his cane: "This is the super chaebol..."

The sound of cannons rang out.

The fire was Muscat's coastal artillery. Although they could not reach the range at all, they still dutifully acted as the landlocking assistants of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, performing a series of insignificant tasks, including not limited to alarms, updates, welcoming and seeing off, and sinking fugitives.

Xiao Liren ordered the Golden Lamb to set sail slowly, bypass the shelling area, and not raise the sail, and then returned to the cabin.

"Mr. Xiao Liren!" As soon as he entered the cabin, the strong old man came forward, "Are you going to break through? Your speed seems to be more like handing over the prince and princess!"

Xiao Liren sneered and wiped off a little fishy saliva from his face.

"Since yesterday, the 14-kilometer Wheel from America was easily captured by the British ship, there should be no ships and people in this port that still hope to complete the breakthrough by speed."

The princess held the child's arm tightened: "But Mr. Xiao Liren, you..."

"I have collected the money, don't worry, Your Highness, the French will not betray the sacred contract. I will send you to a safe country in a special way, which is my promise."

"Then what can we... do now?"

Xiao Liren thought for a while: "Before the port was closed, Matola Port was very prosperous. As far as I know, there were 12 fishing boats from your country and nearly 20 merchant ships from all over the world gathered in the large berths of the commercial port."

"Now there are 13 people sleeping to the bottom of the sea..."

"The British are domineering, but in fact they have not sunk too many ships. If you have any leisure time, please pray to your Allah and make your coastal artillery more cautious and rational."

"In my opinion, the British had no intention of seizing the port, at least not yet. So they don't have to bombard every merchant ship that failed to break through and were forced to repatriate into wood slag. This will only hurt your country's precious friends..."

...

Lorraine is drinking tea with Henna.

This is rare.

Drinking tea with Henna is a special experience, because no matter who Lorraine drinks tea with, the people who make tea are usually the other party or the servants. Only drinking tea with Henna is Lorraine's job.

A tea bag that doesn’t matter what combination, morning tea, afternoon tea, and evening tea recipes are not important. A pot of hot water should not be too hot, a large pot of fresh milk and a whole stack of sugar cubes.

First, brew the tea according to the general requirements, then add a piece of candy and two spoonfuls of milk. When Henna shook her head, repeat the above steps.

Until Henna made a kitten-like cry, Lorraine could stop. This would be a perfect Henna black tea. No one else could taste it except her.

Henna was savoring her delicious black tea, and Adere's voice came from outside the cabin: "Report! A Brig ship left the port from Matola, with the main mast flying the French golden gladiolus flag, and the speed was 1.5 knots. The other captain asked to meet with the admiral. The new code name dared not be good at it, and had already directed the ship towards Valkyrie."

Lorraine frowned slightly: "Golden Gladiola? French nobles?"

Five minutes later, Yacharin and Lorraine, who received the call, were waiting for Xiaoliren's visit at the side of the ship.

Xiao Liren wore a tuxedo with colorful feathers embroidered on his shoulders, holding a cane with emerald inlaid, with meticulous hair and a thin face.

Seeing his clothes, Yacharin immediately frowned.

He said to Shaulliren in a strong French accent: "I am very happy to meet you, sir, I am Desai of Bordeaux, Yacharin Desai."

Xiao Liren's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously floated his eyes: "Mr. Desay, I really didn't expect to see a French fellow villager on the British boat. That... I was born in the northeast."

"Northeast? This self-introduction doesn't seem to be common."

"Colma! I am Baron Sullien from Colma." Sullien stomped his cane with difficulty, "Mr. Desay, you are doubting me with your voice, which is very indecent!"

Yacharin rolled his eyes and took a step back: "Boom, amateur..."

So Lorraine knew the result of the test.

He took the conversation and condescends across the ship: "Shaliren... Baron, I am Lorraine Drake, the president of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, so you don't have to make a higher-level appeal request for the next words."

"There are two options before you, to drive the ship back to your port of Matola, or to emerge from that ridiculous outfit, write a self-defense letter, and wait for our return to the military police to explain to your country's gendarmes the reason for pretending to be aristocrats, and pray that they will not throw you into the Bastille."

"Now, choose. You have 10 seconds to consider, Adre, time."

“10,9,8…”

Xiao Liren's expression changed drastically. He had no idea where he was showing his flaws, and he thought Lorraine was tying him.

So he protested loudly: "This is a barbaric act! Englishman, you are insulting a noble gentleman, trying to start a new war between Britain and France!"

“4,3…”

"Leave me to the gendarmerie! I will never make such humiliating self-defence. Go to Paris, go to Fontainebleau, and I will definitely make you pay for today's rudeness!"

"1,0! The stormtroopers are ready! Starboard gather!"

The excited French gentleman was silent.

Xiao Liren stood alone in front of more than a dozen maritime commuters, holding his cane, and hesitated for only half a second.

"Dear Mr. Drake, I have captured the Sultan's princess and the sixth prince, and the princess' father, and hope it will be helpful to your great cause."

"As a side note, I am Xiao Liren, Jin Xiao Liren, a little fur merchant from Colmar, not worth mentioning, haha, not worth mentioning..."
