One hundred and sixty-three, face to face

Charlie knew very well what Governor Marbury was going to say, he was very impatient, but he couldn't help but listen to Governor Marbury's chatter and proverbs, "Lord Governor said, I hope Your Excellency Lord you can follow the previous steps and ways and methods, and you don't have to worry about any pressure at all, although some cavalry died, but this is the price paid for the war, it is really not worth mentioning, so please don't have any burden, do it according to your own methods, believe in Lord Lord's ability, deal with Chhansibang, and those Chinese, There was no problem at all. ”

At this time, Charlie was surprised by Governor Marbury's trust, for his trust, he had prepared Marbury's dissatisfaction with his reckless actions, and commanded himself to ask for a slow and steady march, but he didn't expect him to say this, Charlie nodded, and said in a slightly grateful tone, "Thank you for me, Your Excellency the Governor." ”

The army returned to the city of Devana, but at this time the situation on the city wall is no longer a little miserable, Xue Pan and other rebels arrived, so that the military strength in the city of Devana has been fully expanded, more than 3,000 troops, no wall, but as long as they rest in the city, everyone is inevitably full of confidence, and at this time, the people in the city will not be so optimistic.

The nobles and lords once again surrounded Xue Pan's gate in front of the Governor's Mansion of Zhanxi, but they were still stopped outside and were not allowed to enter, but at this time, everyone couldn't help it, and they couldn't care about the noble temperament of the nobles, and they shouldn't do anything rude to block the door, but obviously this time is a very critical time, and the gray-haired old man at the head said eagerly to Li Shaopu, "Please pass it on to Lord Li, we must immediately ask to see Lord Xue, a great wise man from the East." ”

"Didn't I tell you? The head of our squad is now resting because he was stabbed by an enemy assassin, so I can't entertain you, so I'll pass you on something. ”

"Then dare to ask, when will the Chinese rebel soldiers and brothers go to war?" The gray-haired old man asked, "Now the British have gathered around." If I'm not mistaken, they brought in new cannons. ”

"You're not mistaken, they probably shipped five cannons," Li Shaopu nodded and admitted, "But I don't know one thing, we didn't promise to come down to help you defend the city, nor did we promise to help you fight, I believe you made a mistake?" We're here to rest, not to help you fight. ”

"But aren't we in an alliance?" Everyone looked at each other, why did the Chinese suddenly change the topic again? Why is this happening, so someone hurriedly asked Li Shaopu, "Since we are allies, why shouldn't we help us?" ”

"But I didn't ask my allies to sell high-priced grain," Li Shaopu said lazily, these days are rare sunny days in the rainy season, and people are a little lazy in the sun, "So our squad leader was very angry after being injured, and now he has decided not to ask about your Zhansi Bang anymore, so Duwana City must be defended by yourself, if it really can't be done, we believe that our strength is enough to break through and no longer stay here, by the way, don't you want us to leave?" Leaving like this might be a good thing for everyone. ”

Everyone's mouth is bitter, this fucking is too funny, this capricious Chinese! Everyone scolded in their hearts, originally thinking of having a seizure, but thinking of the wolf-like tiger outside against Dewar's red-eyed British troops, they still couldn't help but scold, so some people cried and pleaded, and some people said sorry words, Li Shaopu just didn't agree, stood at the door and watched everyone's performance with a smile, so after a while, seeing that there was no effect, some people became anxious, "But why is the princess still inside?" If it's not an ally, why doesn't the princess even care about the defense of the city! ”

"Oh, this is the personal relationship between the head of our class and the princess," Li Shaopu is now very much like a spokesman for the prime minister's yamen, playing Tai Chi very safely, "The princess said that she wants to accompany the adults more, otherwise there will be no chance to enjoy the scenery of Zhansi Bang together in the future, as for why the princess stayed inside, you should ask the princess, not me." ”

Everyone is unable to, at this time the dark clouds in the sky began to slowly gather, a new round of rain will start again, those British offensive outside the city do not know when it will start again, everyone has no way, but they can't leave here, they dare not break the jar and say whatever the British do, the Chinese can pat their ass and leave, and their family has a big business, they can't throw away the ravages of the British, so everyone does not leave, continues to make noise at the door, and also invited Shah Rukh.

Shah Rukh is very busy now, he went to arrange a meal for the native soldiers guarding the city, but he was pulled over by these people, in the end, Shah Rukh has a big face, and followed Li Shaopu into the Governor's Mansion, before it rained heavily, he finally brought these people into the Governor's Palace, although he may not be able to see Xue Pan, but it is somewhat better than being in the rain outside.

When he got inside, perhaps Xue Pan was alarmed, Li Shaopu said angrily to the nobles who were waiting in the hall, "The head of the squad came out to meet you when he was injured." ”

Shah Rukh stood up suddenly, solemnly lowered his hands, and everyone followed suit, standing together and waiting. I saw that under the embrace of the maids, Cao Cheng Li Manma Zhiyuan Lu Lianshan and others, came out first, also divided into two shifts, after a while, heard a few coughs behind the hall, Xue Pan was helped out by Nukli, his face was pale, and he kept coughing, everyone saw Xue Pan, and saw the very docile and lovely Nukli, when they were willing to be a handrail, they couldn't help but secretly lament in their hearts, this is the most beautiful flower on the Zhanxi Plateau, the pride of the Tianzhu people, the eternal flower of the royal bloodline, it seems that it is going to be picked by the Chinese.

Xue Pan coughed, sat down, and slowly looked around at everyone, "You still come to see me, but I really don't want to go, because I was stabbed a few days ago, and I can only rest in bed." The corner of Xue Pan's mouth showed a little smile, "But when you visit a patient, why do you come empty-handed, isn't Zhanxi Bang a state of etiquette?" ”

This was caught by someone again, everyone was very thick-skinned, and at this time couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, the gray-haired man bowed to Xue Pan, "Respected lord, we hope you can help." ”
