The temperature in early autumn in Lisbon is suitable.
You can take a nap in the sun on the side of the street. It will make you very comfortable, but only if you don't dislike the dirty streets.
A few idle men sat on the street and dozed off.
Autumn is always pleasant, and pedestrians have more smiles on their faces.
"It is said that a lot of new land has been found outside. They are very fertile and there are a lot of bison."
"I don't know when they can come back. Do you want to go?"
"I think it's good to go there. It's a lot of good."
"Yes! Now I'm waiting for the fleet to come back."
People gradually go away, but they leave expectations and envy.
It was almost noon. A few idle men woke up and got up shakily to go home for dinner.
This is a mountain city. When the weather is good, you can see the port and the boundless sea from a high place.
"What's that?"
An idle man rubbed his eyes and asked.
"What are you talking about?"
"Look at the dock!"
A few idle men turned around and looked, then they were stunned and gradually ecstatic.
"It's the ship that has sailed far back!"
From the top of the mountain, they could see more than 20 ships approaching the wharf, but their line of sight was not very clear and they could not see the specific situation clearly.
However, a fleet of this size can be judged as a long-distance fleet almost without thinking.
"They're back!"
A few idle men couldn't help cheering, and then began to run down the mountain.
Several pedestrians were infected by their joy. When they saw the fleet in the distance, they couldn't help shouting.
The voices grew louder and louder, and the people in the castle were alarmed.
The sergeant saw the fleet above the castle and reported it.
"The fleet is back?"
The king was having lunch. The table was full of meat and dairy products.
"Yes, your majesty."
"Oh..."
The king's body was shaking and the chicken leg in his hand fell on his knee.
His face was burning red. He suddenly got up and said, "go and meet our hero."
As the king greeted him personally, the bell rang.
There are many clocks here, one ring and one hundred echoes.
The bell rang one after another in the harbor city.
The people who were cooking went out of their homes and followed the flow of people down the mountain.
"It's the long sailing fleet back."
Someone said the good news excitedly, and then caused a burst of cheers.
"They will bring good news from afar and a lot of money!"
The people cheered. Some shouted long live the king, and some even shouted long live his highness Henry. A group of people rushed in and arrested the people who shouted the slogan.
"I'm just happy, happy for the king and his highness..."
The man was dragged to death by two sergeants and dragged out of the crowd like a dog. He shouted wronged all the way, and then he was heavily thrown on the roadside. The two sergeants scolded: "for the sake of good news, you should pray for your good luck, or you won't want to appear here again in your life."
This episode did not affect everyone's mood. The speed of the crowd was getting faster and faster. It turned out to be a trot to the back.
Surrounded by bodyguards, the king had rushed to the front on horseback, and the people cheered and followed.
This is cohesion.
The king said to his important ministers, "as long as there is good news, the people of the kingdom will always support Lisbon and their king."
The important officials agreed with a smile.
The sound of horses' hoofs was clear and crisp, and they went all the way to the flat ground.
Ahead is the dock, and everyone's sight is blocked by the sails of the ships parked on the dock.
"Let's go and see the warriors!"
At this time, there was a noise in the distance behind him, and the voice was surprised.
The king said in some displeasure, "what do they want? Are our warriors not doing enough?"
At the moment, the word diaomin appears in the hearts of the king, his ministers and the prince.
The horse moved forward slowly, and the ship in front had begun to move to make room for the berth.
On a sunny day, the king looked up at the blue sky and said, "what a relaxing day!"
The ministers echoed, and the king slowly bowed his head. At this moment, the ship in front had moved away.
Through the cracks, he saw some rags.
Yes, those broken ships flashed through his eyes.
It's like a flash of lightning across the sky.
The king's body shook on the horse's back, and then he blinked.
The gap ahead is getting bigger and bigger, and the ships that make room are quiet.
The crew on the deck stared at the ships approaching the berth.
A warship with a charred hole in the bow rushed rudely, and repair marks could be seen around the bow.
The crew quickly leaned over the ship, then swearing. When they saw a team of knights coming, it was still the same.
When the crew landed, they shouted for food, especially fresh water and vegetables.
"Did they... Come back to report?"
There were almost no intact ships in the fleet, and 30% of the ships could see signs of being hit.
The traces of those monsters' attacks were frightening. The king's heart was sinking, but fortunately he still asked the above words.
Someone said, "Your Majesty, I think they met the enemy and came back to report..."
"Yes, hundreds of warships. It's a force that can destroy the world. We won't fail."
"The ship burned by the war is the boat of the warrior. The courage of the warrior can be seen only when the sails are summoned up under the dark clouds..."
A royal court recited poems with a pen holder, and everyone was in high spirits.
The king smiled and said, "yes, that's it. Our soldiers need the tempering of war. In the future, they will rule the world and can... And... Who is that?"
Those people have poured down, just like the fruits harvested in autumn are piled up at the foot of the mountain, gradually piled higher and higher.
But the footsteps stopped below, and everyone was looking at the ship ahead.
This is a well preserved warship. There is no trace of war.
The ship had docked and a man landed first.
Looking at the huge welcoming crowd ahead, the sun flushed face was full of confusion, and then determined.
The man stood on the dock and walked slowly towards the king's group.
The king's body was shaking, and then said happily, "it's Henry! My God! Did they defeat the Ming people and want Henry back?"
Yes, all people, the wisest wise man, are this judgment.
"We won!"
"When your highness returns, the Ming people must have been defeated!"
"Yes! If we hadn't been defeated, how could we have returned the highness of the Ming Dynasty and won!"
“.…..”
This is a time to celebrate. Everyone feels that the world is in their own hands, and countless money and land, as well as those who can enslave, are waving to them.
Henry walked firmly to the king, knelt on one knee and said, "father, we failed."
His voice was not loud, but it was like a big clock ringing in everyone's ears.
Countless happy faces gradually became white and dull.
The atmosphere was as uncomfortable as when men and women were stopped before the peak. They wanted to swear, but they thought it was better to hold their breath.
The only lucky thing is Henry's identity, his messenger's identity.
what do you want to say?
Are you saying that your messenger's mission failed?
The king turned pale and said with a smile, "it's just to have a look and test. It doesn't matter if he fails. After the Ming people are defeated, can they offer compensation? How much gold and silver? And the way to build firearms and warships. It would be more perfect if they could compensate some craftsmen... Henry?"
Henry didn't get up, and there were several more people on the dock, including three coalition generals.
"Get up."
Said the king hastily.
When Henry heard something strange, he got up and put a hand on his shoulder. Gradually, it seemed that the whole body was hanging on him.
Henry tightened his heart and whispered, "father, go back. You need to rest right away."
The king was panting, very hurried.
He looked at the coming generals of the Three Kingdoms with disgust and said, "OK, let's go back."
