I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 1010 - Chapter 1010 Stay

Chapter 1010: Stay Chapter 1010: Stay Editor: Atlas Studios Fan Zijin raised his eyebrows and stopped objecting.

“Then go ahead and do it.” Since Qi Haoran had already said all those things to Pedro, it was naturally better for him to be the one to release him.

Pedro had many lives on his hands, and he was also the leader of the pirates.

Of course, they couldn’t let him go just like that.

But it wasn’t hard to get around that either.

Having captured so many captives this time, they just had to let Pedro pretend to be one of them.

If they let their hair down and the captives were all made to grow a longer beard, who would notice that he was not Pedro?

However, they could not let Pedro go for nothing.

Qi Haoran and Pedro had agreed that after he left, they had to use money to redeem the Westerners who did not need to be beheaded.

The price would be the same as before, and the amount required to redeem Pedro alone was quite significant, too.

Pedro was now a pauper.

His treasures had all been found by Qi Haoran and brought back to fill the national treasury and inner treasury.

Therefore, he could only count on the Portuguese envoy.

But would Qi Haoran personally talk to the Portuguese envoy?

That was impossible.

Hence, the prison warden looked for the Portuguese envoy and said that he could help him smuggle Pedro out, but the envoy had to give him money.

The Portuguese envoy sent the prison warden out.

When he turned around and returned, his expression was slightly ugly because of the exorbitant sum asked for.

However, he could not bargain down the price no matter how hard he negotiated.

The other party only gave him two optionsaEUR”either pay up or watch Pedro die.

Of course, the Portuguese envoy could not watch Pedro die.

Putting aside Pedro’s identity as the earl, based on the current situation, Pedro couldn’t die.

After all, most of the information they had about Great Qi came from Pedro.

Although there were many businessmen from Portugal who came to Great Qi to do business, none of them knew as much as Pedro.

Great Qi was already unfriendly enough to them now.

In order to not let their country fall into a disadvantage, Pedro had to live.

The Portuguese envoy thought of Pedro’s wealth and felt that even if he spent a lot of money on this, Pedro would surely be able to return the money to him after he escaped.

With this thought in mind, the Portuguese envoy asked someone to start preparing gold, silver, and jewelry.

As the other party had asked for too large a sum, the gold and silver he had on hand were not enough; he could only use jewelry and spices to make up for the shortfall.

Hence, one night before the execution, a donkey carriage carrying a few corpses came out of the prison.

Pedro, who was lying in that carriage, was brought back to the Westerners’ Clubhouse by the people who had lay an ambush in advance before the corpses were thrown into the crematorium.

Pedro’s expression was still fine.

He calmly changed into clean clothes and said to the envoy, “I still have 68 brothers who have not been sentenced to death.

Please redeem them on my behalf.” The envoy shook his head awkwardly.

“My lord, this costs too much.

We simply can’t afford it.

You have to know that I paid a huge price to bring you out.” “Don’t worry about that.

I’ll return the money to you when we return to Portugal.” Pedro did not think that money was a problem, especially since those people had been with him for a long time.

This time, he had suffered heavy losses in terms of manpower.

Even if Qi Haoran did not mention it, he would do his best to redeem those who weren’t sentenced to death.

Seeing Pedro’s insistence, the envoy had no choice but to borrow money from the merchants.

After the Portuguese envoy redeemed the pirates who had not been sentenced to death, they hurriedly bade farewell and left.

Pedro did not dare to stay long there.

Otherwise, if he was discovered by the soldiers of Great Qi, even the envoy’s team would not be able to leave.

Unexpectedly, something still happened when they were about to board the ship.

Joao and Jose were unwilling to board the ship no matter what.

The reason they gave was that they were sick and there was a lack of medicine on the ship.

If they boarded the ship, they would most likely die during the journey, so they insisted on staying in Great Qi.

The envoy agreed with barely a thought.

The reason why Joao and Jose were sent to the ship was because their stepmother did not want to see them.

Although it was said to be a diplomatic mission, it was equivalent to exile.

Otherwise, which delicate young man in his teens would sail so far away from home?

One had to know that the mortality rate for long-distance voyages was very high.

Not to mention the storms they could encounter at sea, just a sudden illness could kill them.

If these two brothers did not return to Portugal, their parents might even thank him.

Therefore, the Portuguese envoy agreed without thinking and even gave them a bag of gems as living expenses.

Joao sneered and refused to accept it.

Gems were not rare in their country.

At least, this bag was not worth much in his eyes.

Because he knew that going out to sea was equivalent to exile, not only had Joao brought all their assets with him when he left, but he had also brought along the servants who were loyal to the two brothers.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Joao and Jose were not short of money.

At the very least, the high-grade gemstones they brought could allow them to live well in Great Qi, so there was no need for him to owe the envoy a favor.

The envoy did not force it on him.

After instructing them to recuperate well, he boarded the ship.

Pedro hid among the crew and looked at the two children under the ship.

He said to his subordinates, “They’re wolves.

The envoy made a mistake and lost two wolves.

He’ll regret it in the future.” “My lord, should we part on good terms with them?

After all, we still have to come back one day.” Pedro shook his head.

“If they’re still alive when we return, I’ll consider it.” In the future, only the two of them would be left in Great Qi.

At the thought of this, Jose was terrified and could not help but hold his brother’s hand tightly.

As Joao watched the ship sail further and further away, tears could not help but well up in his eyes.

He was also a little afraid, but more than that, he was relieved and excited.

He held his brother’s hand back and said word by word, “We will live well!” Jose’s lips were still trembling.

When the envoy’s fleet was around, they could count on the adults to handle matters if something were to happen.

All they had to do was to walk around and check out the customs of Great Qi, or befriend Little Bear and young masters to inquire about the situation in Great Qi.

Regardless of what happened, the adults would hold up the sky even if it collapsed.

Although they knew that no one in the fleet really cared about them except for their servants, they could still rely on the fleet and it could be considered their home.

But now that their backing had left, they didn’t have a home anymore.

Looking around, the only people they knew in Guangzhou were Little Bear and gang.

Seeing that his brother’s hand was trembling violently, Joao tightened his grip on his hand.

“Let’s go look for Tiger Head and the others.

A few days ago, they brought medicine to visit us.

We haven’t thanked them yet.” Jose nodded with a straight face.

The brothers brought their servants to the Prince’s estate majestically.

At this moment, the kids’ heads were swaying from left to right as they read their textbooks.

When they heard someone calling them from outside, Tiger Head and Little Lion immediately put down their textbooks and looked at Advisor Qian eagerly.

Advisor Qian ignored them and continued to explain the Three-Character Classic.

He even patted their little heads with the book and said, “Now that you’re learning ‘The Analects’, you forgot the Three-Character Classic you learned previously.

And you still have the cheek to ask to go out and play?

If you don’t manage to recite it today, no one is allowed to leave the classroom.” Thus, Tiger Head and Little Lion picked up their textbooks dejectedly and continued memorizing the contents.

From time to time, they would close their eyes before opening them to glance at the textbooks.

Since they had already learned the Three Character Classic and memorized it in the past, shouldn’t they move on from that already?

Who knew that Advisor Qian would come back and make them recite the ‘Three-Character Classic’ after teaching ‘The Analects’?

It was so sudden and they hadn’t revised it all this while.

How could they possibly recite the contents?

Of course, Little An was an exception.
