Chapter 166
Chapter 166
According to the order of the navy, the two ships were stuck together, and the navy quickly set up the planks, and the man full of abstinence walked over with his head.
"Are you the captain of this ship?" He frowned and looked at Julian, not quite believing that such a sickly young man could handle such a duty.
Before Julian could speak, he shifted his gaze to Owen, looked him up and down, and showed a satisfied expression. It seemed that only Owen's physique fit his idea of a captain.
The corner of Julian's mouth twitched, and he coughed twice: "Yes, I am Julian, the captain of this ship, Your Excellency General..."
The man waved his hand and said seriously, "I'm just a brigadier general, not a general."
What Julian wanted to say was swallowed back again, okay, this Brigadier General obviously has a strict temper, the biggest advantage of dealing with such a person is that he will not make trouble for nothing, as long as you obey the rules, basically you will not what's the problem.
Siegfried seems to be very bad at talking. Fortunately, he has a long-sleeved adjutant who is good at dancing. The round adjutant has a very friendly face. In addition, he is proficient in speaking skills, even in clichés. It doesn't get boring either.
The two sides chatted for a while, and the fat adjutant finally got to the point. He asked with a smile: "I wonder if your Excellency has encountered a passenger ship attacked by pirates recently? Our Brigadier General is fighting against pirates recently. If you If you know of their whereabouts, please be sure to notify us."
Julian's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of Shirley. Could it be that the other party was looking for Shirley when he was looking for pirates?
He was more thoughtful, and instead of directly saying that Xue Li was on his boat, he winked at the boy.
The boy was very clever, relying on his short stature and the cooperation of the sailors beside him, he slipped out without a sound. It didn't take long for Julian to hear the sound of someone walking in the cabin.
He intends to leave the choice to Shirley herself. If she thinks these people are reliable, she will naturally reveal her identity.
Sure enough, after a while, Shirley came out of the cabin, eating and drinking well on the boat. She was no longer the embarrassed look before. delicate and charming.
Julian said that he had tried his best, and as a gentleman, there was obviously no such thing as a lady's dress in his empty package.
Shirley's body was remade by Clara with her own skirt, and it was just the upper body in front of her.
"Brigadier General Siegfried." As soon as Shirley came out, she saw Siegfried who was looking around, her eyes filled with tears, as if she had been wronged so much.
Julian was lying in his heart. Although he didn't pay attention to this little girl these days, the conditions he provided her were already very good. What does she mean by such a wronged expression?
The other sailors also saw Shirley's expression of whether to cry or not. They may understand that a little girl is not comfortable living on a ship that is almost all men, but they still feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts, and they always feel very uncomfortable. .
"Miss Shirley." After seeing Miss Shirley, Siegfried showed a look of surprise, he raised his eyebrows slightly, with a playful expression: "So you are here."
Siegfried's appearance is not the best one, at least it is far behind Julian and Owen, but his own temperament makes up for this gap very well. He obviously has an ascetic face, but when he He made an expression of raising his eyebrows, and that dull face suddenly became a little more charming, and that bad feeling added a lot of charm to him.
Shirley did not escape the temptation of this 'bad man' either, her cheeks flushed with blush, and her white teeth bit her bright red lower lip, revealing a bit of a little girl's delicacy.
Siegfried seemed to suddenly realize what he had just done, coughed twice, and said with a serious face: "Miss Shirley, are you all right? Your Excellency has been looking for your trace."
Shirley also came to her senses immediately. This is not a good place to talk about love. When she learned that her father was looking for her, she quickly asked, "Is father in a hurry? God, I have so many things I want to tell him. Please take me back quickly." As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly think of Julian and the others, and added: "Thanks to Captain Owen for saving me, I am very grateful to them."
Siegfried looked at Julian again and nodded: "Thank you for lending a helping hand. On behalf of Grand Duke Lao Fei, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
Julian indicated that he heard it. Although he said that he didn't save people for money, he was very upset that Shirley didn't mention the promised reward at all.
He didn't speak to him, and Owen lowered his eyes and said lightly: "It's okay, Miss Shirley promised us a large sum of gold coins..." He raised his eyelids and saw Shirley looking at him in shock, as if he hadn't expected that. He would say this so bluntly, and smiled very viciously: "—to pay for her expenses on the ship."
"You..." Shirley had the urge to growl. She did promise a large sum of money at the time, but it was just to stabilize them first, and what was agreed at the beginning was to send her to land, but now The people from the navy have already arrived, she doesn't need these to send her off again!
Shirley's exquisite face was distorted by the anger in her heart, she knew that this group of lowly people didn't know what virtue was at all!
They should be honored that she stayed on this ship for so long, but what did they do?To ask her for such a large sum of money for her little consumption on the boat!
She seemed to have completely forgotten that she had voluntarily promised the money back then, and she hadn't even thought about it before.
Shirley glared at Owen angrily. She already knew that Owen was not a good guy, he was greedy and stingy, such an evil guy might be with those pirates... No, they are!Otherwise, how would he take in those pirates?
She looked at the side of the deck in disgust. That was where the people captured by pirates stood. Yes, those people were clearly pirates, but this Owen did not imprison them, but let them move around on the ship. , this is the most obvious evidence!
Shirley pursed her lips and tugged at Siegfried's cuff. Because of her position, she didn't see the disgust in Siegfried's eyes the moment she touched him. With the urge to break off his hand, he asked as gently as possible: "Miss Shirley, what's the matter with you?"
Shirley bit her lips: "Your Excellency, if I remember correctly, are you a great knight?"
Siegfried pulled back his sleeve without a trace, nodded: "Yes."
Shirley glanced at Julian again, she seemed a little regretful, and a little pity, her expression was very complicated, but in the end she made up her mind, and said softly: "Your Excellency, I suspect that they are in the same group as the pirates who took me away before." of."
Julian:? ? ? WTF!What is this woman talking about?
Siegfried's eyes flashed: "Why do you say that?"
Xue Li looked sad, with tears in her eyes: "Actually... I don't want to say it, but I can't let an adult like you be deceived by others."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" an old man asked with an angry face.
Julian actually wanted to know what 'evidence' she could give. After all, they saved people at the time, but they actually killed many pirates, and now there are still many people imprisoned in the bilge. What can reverse black and white?
But what he didn't expect was that his crew members were as stable as old dogs, while those captured by the pirates were very nervous.
It was the old man who was able to repair the boat who was talking, his face was flushed with anger, his chest heaved unceasingly, obviously he was very angry.
Shirley was startled by his roar, exclaimed, and hid behind Siegfried.
Because of her performance, the group of naval officers almost believed that such a pure and lovely little girl would not lie, and each of them took up their weapons and looked at them vigilantly, and could strike at them if they disagreed.
"Miss Shirley, this is a very serious matter, please make it clear."
Compared with the naval soldiers who were at war with swords, the chubby adjutant was quite calm. His smile was as kind as before, but his words were not polite at all.
Shirley choked suddenly. Originally, she interrupted by crying to get the matter over with, but she didn't expect the adjutant to be so serious. Her face was not very good-looking, but in the end she 'narrated' the matter according to his request. Of course Since she didn't watch the whole process at the time, this narrative is full of her personal subjective color. Anyway, judging from the content of her narration, Julian's act of saving lives became an act of black and white among pirates.
What she said did confuse many people. At least the navy soldiers couldn't help but clenched their weapons tightly, looking at Julian and the others with a lot of resentment in their eyes.
"You bullshit!"
"She lied! We're not pirates!"
"Yes! The captain is a good man, he saved us, so it's not just black and white!"
Before the crew on the Crimson could speak, the group of rescued people couldn't help protesting one after another. If they were identified as pirates, they would be hanged, so they hated Shirley who falsely accused them of being pirates.
If the others were just angry at Shirley's nonsense, then the boy was suffering the pain and regret of betrayal.
He was the one who saved Xue Li back then, if today they were really judged as pirates and died because of Xue Li, then he would be considered dead, and he would have no face to see these people again.
Xueli was very annoyed by these people's scolding. She couldn't help but slander in her heart. Sure enough, a pariah is a pariah. Now that he has become a pirate, isn't it natural to be hanged?Rather than collude with a group of pirates, it is better to die early and be reborn early, maybe the next life will be better.
It’s just that she secretly looked at Julian’s shocked (not) look, which was a pity. It would be a pity if he was hanged as a pirate with such a good appearance. Maybe...she could entrust someone to arrest him at that time. Redeem it?
A male favorite of a pirate, as long as he works a little bit, he should not be sentenced as a pirate. If he spends some money to find a relationship, he might become his underground lover in a short time.
Thinking of this, Shirley's cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot, and she couldn't help but imagine the scene where Julian was by her side.
He is so gentle, he must be very considerate...
