From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 448

After eating and drinking, Zhou Yuan stood up and stretched his body, and his whole state was much more relaxed.

Guan Lu walked in and whispered: "Sir, the results of today's battle have been calculated. The Portuguese died 281 people and captured 88 people. In the melee, more than ten people took advantage of the chaos to escape."

"Four hundred and twenty of our soldiers died and two hundred and fourteen were injured."

Zhou Yuan frowned and finally sighed: "The quality of the soldiers is too poor. They did not execute the orders properly, otherwise it would not be possible to die so many people."

"At the dock, if the evacuation was more timely, at least 200 people would have died."

Guan Lu nodded and said: "Yes, in the battlefield at the crossroads in the city, we died a total of more than 100 people, and the remaining about 300 people were all killed by artillery fire at the dock."

Zhou Yuan looked at Guan Caixi and Princess Qinshui and said: "You let the King of Xunnan go to appease the army and provide relief to the wounded and the victims."

Princess Qinshui responded with a smile, and she was obviously very happy.

Guan Caixi frowned and said, "After this battle, the soldiers in the palace are full of admiration for you. Logically, you should go to appease them!"

Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "Appeasement costs money. Do you think I am the God of Wealth? Spend money to appease the soldiers of the Southern King."

"Besides, I have to interrogate the prisoners and I am not in the mood to care about those things."

This battle is just the beginning. The competition between the two sides has not ended yet. How the subsequent situation will develop depends on Zhou Yuan's plan.

Guan Caixi's eyes lit up, and she immediately said: "Interrogating prisoners? I want to go too!"

Zhou Yuan said: "No, interrogating prisoners is a serious matter, you are just joking, go and have fun!"

Guan Caixi gritted her teeth and said: "No, I want to go, I haven't seen the Portuguese yet, I want to go and see them."

"Besides, they bully us so much, of course I have to beat them up!"

Speaking of this, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying: "Let them see what I can do."

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment, then said lightly: "Since you want to come with me, then come, but I have a request "Please."

Guan Caixi subconsciously took two steps back, covered her chest with both hands, and raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't do anything stupid, I'm not so easy to fool."

Zhou Yuan said, "My requirement is that you can't leave halfway after you go."

Guan Caixi was stunned and said quickly, "That's no problem."

Zhou Yuan glanced at her and smiled, "Don't be too confident. With your appearance, you are not attractive to me. Both Jianjia and Cai Ni are much prettier than you."

"What's more, you are ordinary."

At the end, he glanced at her chest and turned away.

Guan Caixi blushed for a while, and then couldn't help chasing him out, shouting: "Zhou Yuan, you are talking nonsense! I am as beautiful as a fairy, and no one can be prettier than me except my sister!"

"Sister Cai Ni is slightly inferior to me, and Zhao Jianjia is far worse than me. She is at most beautiful, and I am beautiful enough to be ... Guan Lu whispered, "Sir, this squad leader is a Portuguese captain, just a little better than our centurion, and he is in charge of about 300 people."

"The good news is that he can speak our Chinese."

Zhou Yuan was happy. He was worried that the other party didn't know much English, but he didn't expect that he could learn Chinese.

As soon as he entered the cell, the man started to curse and roared like a beast. If he hadn't been tied up with iron chains, he would have come up and fought to the death.

Guan Caixi looked around carefully, then frowned and said, "He is really ugly, with a crooked appearance, like a demon."

Zhou Yuan said, "Our martial arts leader wants to teach him a lesson, right? Do you dare to do it?"

"Why not!"

Guan Caixi gritted her teeth and said, "They are only allowed to slaughter the Han people who abuse us, but we are not allowed to beat him?"

After she finished speaking, she kicked the man with a standard posture, and raised her foot high enough. It can be seen that the ligaments are very good, and the body is very stretched, and she kicked the man directly on the head.

But the man was stunned for a moment, that's all.

Guan Caixi has no strength at all, it's all a show, used to show off.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, go play somewhere else."

He took a few steps forward and slowly looked atHe said to the man calmly, "My name is Zhou Yuan, I am the Marquis of Zhongwu in Dajin, which is equivalent to the Marquis of your Portugal."

"I can decide your life with full authority... I mean, you'd better be honest and say a few words to me."

The man spat at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan dodged easily, but Guan Caixi behind him was hit directly, with a large stain on his chest.

"Ah! Zhou Yuan, help me beat him!"

Guan Caixi almost cried out.

Zhou Yuan smiled lightly and kicked him out directly.

The man immediately covered his crotch, his face flushed, he howled, and shrank to the ground in pain.

Zhou Yuan said, "Are you willing to talk now?"

The man's face was covered with sweat, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Dajin people! I'm not afraid of you! A brave knight will not be afraid of a despicable executioner!"

Zhou Yuan laughed and said, "You really can speak Chinese. I don't expect you to be honest. After all, you Westerners always have an inexplicable pride. Before you are defeated, you look down on everyone."

"This time, I captured eighty-eight of you, but announced to the outside world that there were eighty-seven."

"Do you know why there is one less? Because this person is used to help you face reality."

After speaking, Zhou Yuan waved his hand.

Guan Lu shouted outside, and a strong man was escorted in.

The man immediately shouted, "Charles! My brother! Don't worry, he dare not do anything to us!"

Zhou Yuan said, "Guan Lu, let him get to know you."

Guan Lu nodded and smiled slowly.

He took out a package from his arms and slowly opened it, revealing dozens of iron needles of various sizes.

Each needle emitted a sharp cold light, which was creepy.

The two Portuguese were silent, just looking at Guan Lu in horror.

Guan Caixi also found something wrong, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Guan Lu's voice was unusually calm: "My Portuguese friend, my name is Guan Lu, and I used to work in intelligence in the Dajin Army."

"I think you know very well that in our line of work, there will inevitably be times when we have to interrogate prisoners."

"I have my own set of methods, please give me more advice."

After speaking, several strong men had tied the Portuguese named Charles to a wooden frame, tightly wrapped around him to prevent him from struggling.

At the same time, they stripped Charles' clothes, leaving nothing behind.

Guan Caixi blushed and turned away.

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "If you leave halfway, I will not take you with me in the future."

Guan Caixi stamped her feet and said loudly: "I am a young girl, why should I stay here? He is not wearing any clothes!"

Zhou Yuan said: "That's because you treat him as a human being, and we have long stopped treating him as a human being."

"You want to come here yourself, so keep your promise to the end."

Guan Caixi gritted her teeth, snorted heavily, and said: "What am I afraid of! Stay if you want to!"

Zhou Yuan then looked at the captain and chuckled: "Sir, please tell me your name and position."

The man said grimly: "Oriental! Kill me! I will never bow to you!"

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "Very good, I hope you will be so tough later!"

Guan Lu understood, took out a small silver needle, and slowly poked it into Charles' fingernails.

Blood flowed out instantly, severe pain attacked his heart, and Charles's shrill screams resounded through the prison.

"Bulwer! Stop! My name is Bulwer!"

The captain suddenly shouted, "Stop! Let go of my soldiers!"

Zhou Yuan did not speak.

Guan Lu naturally continued to move.

The silver needles penetrated deeper and deeper, and the screams became more and more painful.

The second and third needles were inserted into other fingers one after another.

Bulwer was about to collapse, and he shouted hurriedly: "Captain! My rank is captain, and I am currently the knight commander of the garrison in Ama Port!"

"Stop, I've said it all!"

Zhou Yuan gave Guan Lu a look, and Guan Lu stopped.

But Charles was in so much pain that his eyes were bloodshot and he was incontinent.

Guan Caixi could no longer feel the stench, her face was pale, and this scene gave her a great shock.

Zhou Yuan ignored her, just looked at the captain and smiled: "Ama Port? Oh, this place is called Haojing, also known as Macau, but it is not the Ama Port you are talking about."

"Knight Commander Bulwer, I have something to talk to you about. Of course, you can choose not to cooperate. After all... the knight next to you should be able to withstand more silver needles."

Bulwer looked at Zhou Yuan with gritted teeth, his fists clenched tightly, his face full of hatred.
