After three days.
Zheng Hui took Lai Gou'er and they took action. They were wrapped up tightly and wore local clothes with only their eyes showing as they went to Old John's Dumpling Restaurant.
At first, some foreigners did follow and secretly investigate them.
But the sailors are also elites, and Zheng Hui is a veteran of many battles, so his anti-reconnaissance awareness is obviously very strong.
After intentionally or unintentionally hinting to the foreigners that he was being followed, the officers and soldiers who were secretly following him were withdrawn.
After all, Duke Alvis still wanted to be on good terms with them, and the other party took the initiative to come to bargain again, so there was no need to follow them.
The constant surveillance actually makes people feel disgusted.
Zheng Hui observed for another day and confirmed again and again that no one was following him before he set off.
Following the clues Xiao Shuai had left behind, the two of them came straight to a dirty and messy "slum".
The streets were littered with garbage and dirt, with a pungent fishy smell. In the corners, there were many drunkards who ignored the harsh environment and fell to the ground in a crooked manner.
When the two stopped in front of a restaurant that looked quite popular, they looked up at the same time.
Zheng Hui whispered, "Do foreigners also eat dumplings?"
"I guess there are some similar things. Xiao Shuai translated it this way." Lai Gouer didn't quite recognize the terms on the restaurant sign.
The two entered the restaurant, which was crowded but not very large, so they could get a glimpse of the whole situation at a glance.
Fortunately, there were still empty seats, so I found two empty seats in the corner.
After sitting down, Lai Gouer began to tap the table rhythmically...
Not long after, a figure appeared in front of the two and asked cautiously, "Master Zheng?"
Zheng Hui nodded: "Are you sure there is no problem here?"
Xiao Shuai looked around and said, "No problem. They all live nearby. I know all the frequent guests these days. I'll get you some food first, otherwise it won't seem too awkward."
Zheng Hui nodded, and soon Xiao Shuai brought two large plates of food to the table.
Lai Gou'er stretched his head, took a look and laughed.
One of the plates was actually some real dumplings. Wow, he brought the specialties of Dajing here?
But the other dish was not very pretty, a sticky mess with solid pieces visible, and no idea what it was made of.
"Sir, Brother Gou, this is what I cooked myself, please try it." Xiao Shuai said enthusiastically.
Zheng Hui gently lifted the face towel and sniffed the mush. A fishy smell rushed to his head and his eyes widened immediately: "What the hell is this? Did you stew a pot of shit?"
"No! This is braised pig intestine. I removed the fishy smell of the intestine, but I kept a part of it. I think it's because I kept a part of the intestine's taste that I know you are eating the intestine."
Lai Gou'er frowned and said, "I didn't expect that foreigners also eat pig intestines?"
"Brother Gou, what are you talking about? We have pigs here too. Besides, we are all poor as hell. We can eat anything. How can we be picky? Try it." Xiao Shuai said.
Zheng Hui and Lai Gou'er looked at each other, lifted the face cloth half-doubtingly, and picked up a sticky piece of pig intestine at the same time.
The next second...
"tui!×2"
"This is still fucking shit! You haven't even washed it!"
"I really washed it." Xiao Shuai tried to remain calm, "If you don't like it, just eat dumplings. Pork dumplings are delicious!"
Zheng Huilian spat a few times, and when he saw Xiao Shuai nodding confidently, he turned his gaze to the dumplings.
This is normal dumplings, and I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time...
He picked up the dumpling hesitantly and took a small bite...Zheng Hui's face changed drastically!
“Is this stuffed with fucking pork?”
"It's made of pig offal. It's cheap."
"Grass!"
Lai Gou'er gloated at the side: "No, no, I'm not going to eat anymore. I came to you today because I have a mission for you."
Xiao Shuai pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be related to Kalemi, and he will be executed in public in a few days.
"This is about Kalemi. We will rescue him on the day of execution, and after rescuing him, we will immediately leave Feka by boat."
"By then, our relationship with the Feika nobles and the Taifu Church will be strained. But there is still a task that has not been completed, and you are the only one who can complete it?"
Xiao Shuai trembled and said, "What do you mean...you won't take me with you?"
Lai Gou'er sighed, "Yes, there is a rebel king in Dajing who is in exile in the west. I heard from the nobles of Feika that he seemed to have heard about the activities of the Orientals here, so we need someone to stay here to get the news. You are the best candidate."
"But don't worry, we already have a sea chart and route, so we will be able to send a ship here quickly. Once you have a harvest, you will have made a great contribution. We will report it to the court and directly appoint you as a centurion of the Imperial Guard!"
Xiao Shuai opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
He was very touched that the people from Dajing were willing to save Kalemi, but then they turned around and left him here. What the hell was going on?
He is still waiting to go back to Dajing to enjoy the delicious food!
"Then can I go back with you?" Xiao Shuai asked tentatively.
Zheng Hui said: "No, you can live here peacefully for one or two years, and then someone will come to pick you up. No one else can do this except you. On behalf of the court, I recognize that you are a Dajing person from now on. I will help you with the household registration documents when I go back."
Because the pie was drawn too bluntly, Xiao Shuai didn't feel any joy in his heart.
He said with a sad face: "I don't want to live a hard life. I finally made it through! Why should I be the only one to suffer?"
Lai Gou'er comforted him, "What hard times? Your restaurant business is so prosperous. I'll let you live a normal life and collect information at the same time. What's the problem? I'm not asking you to guard the border!"
