The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1859

[1859.Chapter 1769 Evil does not suppress good]

The fleet headed south.

On the way, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be very interested in the entire ironclad ship.

Naturally, the structure of this armored ship was originally designed by him. Although it was only the first generation, after ten years of improvements, many structures have long been changed beyond recognition.

But Zhu Houzhao felt that controlling this armored ship was a matter of great learning.

What he excitedly wanted to do every day was to squat in the boiler room or the wheel room and observe carefully.

The artillery cabin was also a place he often visited.

Bring a small notebook with you every day to communicate with people and record what you see and hear.

Occasionally, I return to my cabin, stare at the map, hold a vernier or charcoal pencil, and stay there all morning.

Liu Jin excitedly asked someone to get a net bag at the stern of the boat. After one night, he lifted the net bag up. Although this place is not offshore, there is always something to gain.

There is a lot of canned food on board.

Liu Jin felt that it was too much to bear, so he took his trophies with him, happily went to the kitchen to light a fire, picked a good-tasting sea fish, cleaned it, removed the scales, took out the internal organs, and then hummed a song and used the fish first Marinate various condiments for an hour or two, then skewer them with an iron skewer and light a fire to grill!

He enjoyed this process, always in the process, as happy as a child, dancing and dancing, finally… When the fish was roasted, he sprinkled some thirteen incense, and the fragrant grilled fish was in his hands. inside.

It was too hot in the kitchen, and he was reluctant to eat all the grilled fish. Instead, he came out of the kitchen and happily went to the stern of the boat. It was clean and the scenery was pleasant. Unfortunately… he still had to be on duty and could not drink. If he continued Pour a pot of Shaoxing old wine and warm it up, it will be a fairy-like enjoyment.

At the stern of the boat, Liu Jin was like a scholar offering sacrifices to the sage. He had respect for grilled fish, so before eating, he would straighten his hat and hold back the irritation in his mouth that was about to flow out. After drinking some water, he washed his hands first, then took a handful of water, and wiped his smooth face with it along the way.

After some solemn etiquette, Liu Jin picked up his grilled fish again.

Just then, someone stretched out his hand.

Liu Jin looked at the hand that suddenly snatched the grilled fish, and his eyes suddenly turned fierce!

It is not fun for the dignified eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch and the official of the West Factory, to pay tribute to the marquis and rob him of his food.

But when he looked up and saw the owner of the hand, he fell silent.

The person who snatched the grilled fish was Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan took the fish and smelled it, then put the grilled fish into his mouth without hesitation, and then made a tsk-tsk sound in his mouth and said vaguely: “It tastes good, not bad. It’s just a little cold. If you heat it up, it will taste better. Xiao Liu, I’m not surprised if I eat your fish.”

Liu Jin’s eyes were about to pop out. He didn’t wipe it clean, but he still stared straight at the fish in Fang Jifan’s hand. His mind went blank, and he just nodded subconsciously to indicate that he didn’t mind.

Fang Jifan said while eating: “I didn’t expect you still have these two brushes. It’s very lonely on this boat. Grandpa, I’m tired of it…”

After a while, Fang Jifan picked the grilled fish with his teeth until there was almost no meat left, leaving only Got the skeleton!

He glanced at the fish stand, burped, then threw away the iron pliers and said happily: “Why don’t I see that you have this ability? Are there any fish?”

Liu Jin’s expression softened a little. He remembered, there were fish, so he nodded.

Fang Jifan said happily: “Go quickly and bake some more. Grandpa, I have just filled my stomach. I haven’t arrived yet. Someone, someone, come, bring your majesty and that bitch Xu Jing, no, take your majesty and his old man.” And Xu Jing, that bitch, all come here to eat grilled fish.”

Liu Jin: “…”

Life on the ship is obviously not very friendly to Liu Jin.

He often spends more time wandering than eating.

Zhu Houzhao came excitedly, and even Xu Jing seemed interested.

Liu Jin simply set up an oven rack at the stern of the boat, flipping the fish and shrimps skewered with the iron drill in his hand.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan had eaten and drank enough. Zhu Houzhao said: “We can’t just leave it to ourselves. I love my soldiers as much as my sons. Come, come, come, call the man in charge of the wheel. I’m looking after the wheel today. It’s been very hard for Liu.” “Come on, bake more.”

Liu Jin shook his hands, trembled, and said dullly, “Your Majesty, I’m almost done eating.”

Zhu Houzhao stood up unsteadily and was about to kick him.

Fang Jifan hurriedly stopped Zhu Houzhao: “Your Majesty, you can’t do it, you can’t do it, don’t do this, if you have anything to say, you can say it properly.”

As soon as His Majesty gave an order, a group of strong men came excitedly one by one, and then fell to the ground. : “Thank you, Your Majesty, for the fish.”

Liu Jin lowered his head, pinched off a burnt fish tail, and stuffed it into his mouth. It seemed that it was too hot, and he gasped again. gas.

…………

Spain.

The priest, who was wearing a cross-embroidered robe and a pointed hat, was mumbling something, stretched out his hand, and kept gesticulating on his chest.

In this huge palace, on a big silk bed, His Royal Highness the King of Spain is exhausted at this moment.

The royal barber, already familiar with the razor, gave him a little blood.

His Royal Highness is in frail health and needs timely treatment.

There is devil in his blood, as the royal barber, of course… In Franji, barber is almost synonymous with doctor.

The barber has a very important responsibility. Not only is he responsible for the image of His Highness the King, but he also needs to treat His Highness the King on time.

The blood flowing out today was less than in previous days.

This made the barber very happy, which meant that a lot of the demons in His Majesty the King’s body had been eliminated.

At this time, His Royal Highness the King felt a wave of dizziness and fatigue coming over him. This dizziness always made him exhausted, especially when he heard the priest chanting in his ears, which made him feel like there was light in front of his eyes. A ray of light, like the morning sun, suddenly shined.

This is a miracle.

His Royal Highness the King is very contented.

God still cares for himself, Spain, Habsburg, and the throne of Holy Rome.

But at this moment…His Royal Highness the King suddenly trembled.

This time’s treatment actually made his body start to tremble non-stop.

The priest was surprised, and quickly stepped forward and began to inspect His Royal Highness.

The king’s face suddenly turned from pale to purple.

Several knights around were also a little flustered and whispering.

Fortunately, the barber seemed very calm. He immediately said: “The devil is coming, the devil is coming.”

The priest immediately took the cross hanging from his neck and placed it on the forehead of His Highness the King.

At this time…it’s time to test the medical skills of a royal barber.

As the best barber in Iberia, he did not go back to get his toolbox.

To deal with such a devil’s backlash, it is obvious that simply cutting the veins and bleeding, or removing His Highness the King’s earwax cannot guarantee victory in this battle with the devil.

Therefore… we must use higher-school methods.

Without hesitation, he whispered a few instructions to the assistant behind him.

The assistant hurriedly ran out of the dormitory.

His Royal Highness was in very bad condition. His body was still trembling, and then his eyes began to turn white.

At the priest’s command, a group of castrati in the next hall began to sing hymns together.

Solemn singing began to ripple in the palace.

The royal barber’s assistant hurried in with a knight.

The assistant is holding a tin can.

The knights began to gather around.

The royal barber calmly called out, and his assistant put the iron can on the head of His Highness the King.

At this moment, His Royal Highness the King was like a funny clown, with a spittoon upside down on his head.

Then the royal barber took out a hammer.

People became more solemn and solemn.

It seems that at this moment, it is not a treatment, but in the name of God, the knights of justice are fighting the final battle with the devil unyieldingly.

The royal barber raised his sledgehammer.

The next moment…

boom!

The hammer hit the spittoon that was upside down on His Royal Highness’s head.

The metal can, under the heavy hammer, suddenly lingered with lingering sound. At this moment, the hymn began to become more and more urgent, and the high-pitched castrato singer kept hitting the high notes.

At this moment, people’s hearts will jump out.

His Royal Highness is in a very bad situation.

Although the hammer did not hit his face, the iron spittoon that was placed upside down on his head made a clanging sound, which almost made him faint, and he let out a wail.

And then, the barber didn’t hesitate and struck again with the hammer.

His Highness the King felt like his head… was like a heavy blow. Almost at this moment, he felt that his consciousness was going to be blurred. There was something sticky under his nose, and it seemed that even nosebleeds were coming out.

Finally…

the hymn gradually came to an end.

The knights took off the spittoon that was upside down on His Highness the King’s head. The ‘Spittoon’ was almost deflated, so it took some effort to take it off. His Highness, who almost fainted, made a few noises. Screaming, he took off the spittoon.

The barber stepped forward, took a look at His Royal Highness the King’s expression, and said, “Your Highness, are you feeling better?”

His Highness the King did not speak, but looked at the Royal Barber blankly, his mouth slightly opened, and the laughter flowed out consciously. .

The royal barber stretched out his hand to feel the breath of His Highness the King, calmed down, stood up straight, and then proudly said: “His Royal Highness the King has come back to life again. Thank God, we have eliminated the evil in His Highness’ body.”

So those The knights became excited and stood up straight one by one.

The priest smiled happily.

At the same time, the door was pushed open, and a knight quickly entered the bedroom: “Your Highness, there is an urgent message from Venice.”
