Chapter 21 The fog over London (5)
Just as Wang Jiye recalled his past experience, the mysterious Captain Svente summoned another waitress and whispered a few words. After hearing this, the woman turned around and left and disappeared in the hall. It didn't take long for four extremely stout big men to come, and in an unquestionable tone, she asked the Captain and Wang Jiye to go with them.
At first, Wang Jiye wanted to resist, but at the captain's instructions, he gave up his meaningless behavior. The two of them obediently got caught between the four, walked out of the hall, left the tavern from the back door, and then put on a black hood and forced into a carriage that had been waiting for. In the dark and bumpy carriage, he suffered for more than an hour before he was pulled off the carriage and sent to a secret cellar.
When Wang Jiye saw the light again, the first thing he saw was touching the dagger on his waist. Well, he was still there. Then he looked around and found that it was an abandoned wine cellar, surrounded by empty wooden wine barrels. The four people he had just escorted disappeared, leaving only himself and the old captain.
"Damn Irish, get out!" Captain Sventer was obviously a little angry. It was the first time he was kidnapped to be a good friend of the Irish.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps from the top of his head. Three people walked down the steps on the left. In front was a middle-aged man, dressed as a knowledgeable professor, and following him were two strong men who had just kidnapped the captain and Wang Jiye.
"Haha, sorry, old Captain, I've been wronged by some misunderstandings." The middle-aged man explained to Captain Sventer before he could finish the steps, and the reason for the explanation was revealed in his eyes.
This is Wang Jiye still wore a British naval officer uniform. Although he did not have a rank sign, the conspicuous red would make everyone continue to treat him as an officer, let alone the Irish who was hostile to the British.
"Okay, it's not your fault, I've been neglected," Captain Sventer stared at the innocent Wang Jiye fiercely, and was not ready to hug his old friend. He continued: "Let me introduce the Eastern man of the former British Navy officer, named Wang Jiye, is my partner, and will be your Irish friend, because he is the commander of the French Toulon Legion and the close comrade of General Andrew; and this is the famous Professor Tangen and the supreme leader of the United Irish Association, Wang, I believe you have never seen his portrait on the ship."
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
After greeting Wang Jiye, Tang En politely invited the two guests to the next room and asked the followers to bring coffee.
"Sorry, your military uniform is so dazzling, so there is such a misunderstanding." Tang En and Wang Jiye apologized again after drinking coffee.
"You should be cautious, especially in London, when you act under the nose of the Empire Hound, you must be careful in everything." Wang Jiye immediately stood up and replied, giving admiration, and continued: "The cabinet has issued a wanted order to you and your comrades long ago. I don't want you to still be active in the heart of the Empire."
"Haha, the most dangerous places are often the most complete, but I am still in Dublin most of the time, and this time I came to London to..." Tang En wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the captain who was left alone.
"Okay, two, don't be polite to each other and say some nonsense. Wang, just ask your request directly, the professor will satisfy you." The captain was a little impatient, probably thinking of the woman in the tavern.
After receiving a prompt from Captain Sventer, Wang Jiye immediately briefly described the reason for his visit.
After listening to the oriental narrative, Donn nodded, put down his coffee cup and said, "Yeah, it is indeed possible that the conservative cabinet led by Pete will not give up any opportunity to fight the revolutionary France, just like the sin they once committed in Ireland. You are so lucky, my friend, because just tomorrow I will go to Paris, France in person, and I will pass your request to General Andrew."
"Is it safe all the way?" Wang Jiye was a little worried that the British fleet had completely blocked the entire English Channel, and the French coast was threatened by the muzzle of the rice-shaped flags, and any ships heading to the revolutionary areas would be seized.
"Don't worry, my comrades and I will take an Espanyol merchant ship through the Strait of Gibrotto, first arrive at the port of Barcelona, cross the Pyrenees, and enter France. Although the journey has increased a lot, it is still possible to reach our destination safely. Because in Spain, there are many Irish people who have been persecuted by the British, and they will try their best to help us." Don't be very confident, just as if he believed that his career would be successful.
"That's good, but I still have to feel sorry for what I have done..." Wang Jiye's words were interrupted by Tang En without saying halfway.
"Please don't feel guilty. At that time, you were a British officer. Obeying orders was the duty of a soldier. Now, we are friends, and maybe revolutionary comrades in the future. You must know that I admire Commander Andrew's military command ability very much. Haha, I wiped out 3,000 British troops and drove the arrogant Nelson to the Mediterranean. The news came to us. The Irish people everywhere were ecstatic and sang and danced for several days. Haha, but the British Governor's nose was pissed. Now I can do something useful for the brave general, and that's even more undesirable." Tang En said enlightenedly.
All the way, seeing everyone, whether they were enemies or friends, whether they had met Andrew or never met Andrew, were shocked by the general's great achievements, whether they hated or praised, which deeply increased Zhao Kai's weight in Wang Jiye's mind. As for the previous confusing sentiment, he was also thrown away in the conversation with Tang En.
The conversation between the guest and the host was very smooth. Wang Jiye explained his purpose and mission to the British rebels without reservation. Tang En also seized the opportunity to provide him with the best of his ability and wish him a smooth journey.
