The British ambassador was stunned, everyone was stunned, his eyes were straight, his pocket watch on his chest was dangling and his waistcoat was hanging out unconscious, and he muttered to himself, "Oh God"

"No, no, no! No way! Li Tai recovered from the shock, roared again and again, and his voice even brushed the dust off the roof beams, "Impossible! ”

"I've told those Frenchmen a long time ago! To advance and retreat together, Asben has always reminded them, how can they change their minds under the persuasion of these stupid yellow-skinned monkeys who don't know French! You know, contact France and our Great Britain to put pressure on China, this is possible to maximize our interests, even if the Chinese navy can't help but call the shots, we can increase the price, let the Chinese pay at least 50% more money to buy this pile of broken copper and iron! ”

"Sir, I don't know the specifics, but," the squire was also full of bitterness, he could even predict the dilemma that his lord would face in the Chinese customs in the future, and in this case, he would not be much better, "I heard that Mr. Hurd came forward to do the work, and he will also go to Beijing City, and this news is still from him!" ”

"This shameless villain, thinking of my position, actually betrayed the country!" Li Tai was furious, and swept all the documents on the desktop to the ground, "This traitor! ”

"Nelson," the British ambassador shook his head and said in a serious tone, "no country in the face of interests will not say that it will give up its interests and advance and retreat with others, not to mention, abandoning us, the French may be able to monopolize the warship business with the Chinese, such an amount, not to mention the French who have a century-old feud with us, even if Scotland now has a queen, they will turn their faces with us!" It's not just that Hurd played a role in it, I'm sure I believe that Hurd didn't want to betray the British Empire, of course, he has his own selfish intentions, sorry," the British ambassador whispered, "I also have my own selfish intentions, so I want to explain to China that I don't know about this behavior, and I hope you can deal with the rest of the matter." I'll take my leave. With that, the British ambassador lifted the brim of his hat, turned and left without any attachment.

Li Tai clearly understood that he was afraid that he would not have much time to stay in the current office, and he couldn't help but have complex emotions of anger mixed with remorse, "Hurd, Hurd!" Li Tai gritted his teeth, "I'm going to kill you, the Welsh Highlands bastard who ruined my big business!" ”

Hurd, who was cursed by Li Tai, was wearing a tuxedo, wearing a high hat and standing straight in front of the Ziguang Pavilion in Xiyuan, waiting for the arrival of a certain person, in the spring, it was the end of April, the pomegranate flowers were bright, blooming fiercely from the eaves of the Ziguang Pavilion, and the wind blew, it attracted the bees and butterflies to fly, the red wall and green tiles and white marble, plus the pomegranate flowers dotted therein, the atmospheric scenery of the nine-fold palace in the peaceful and prosperous era was unobstructed.

The eunuch and palace maid standing outside the Ziguang Pavilion looked curiously at this foreign devil in strange costumes, everyone said that foreign devils are fierce and vicious, and they eat human flesh alive, why is this person so polite, and there seems to be no meaning on his body? A group of people hid in the corner and whispered, whispering, but it was actually very loud, and some fragments were blown into Hurd's ears with the wind.

"Hehe, sister, don't say it, this devil is really handsome, and he doesn't have much beard on his face," a little palace maid's face was flushed, "Eyeballs, oops, it's just a little scary, this tile is blue, it looks like a ghost in the underworld!" ”

"Who said no, I didn't see it, this time Father-in-law An went to tell the Queen Mother, no one dared to come up here, usually those snobs saw that there were officials who wanted to see him, not to rush to flatter, so that he could count on getting some red envelopes!"

"Yes, this foreign devil, how can he appear here, it's really strange!"

"It's even more strange, I didn't see it, the queen mother still wants to see this foreigner? What's so good about this foreigner, they know that they sell opium cigarettes in our place, kill and rob, and the suburbs of Beijing are tossed by them! ”

There was a guard who had obviously seen the world, and sneered at these uninformed palace maids and eunuchs, "What do you know, this is the old man of the Queen Mother who has something to ask for this foreign devil, don't look at us to win the battle outside, but on this sea, or the foreigners are the boss, they are in front of the Dragon King's home, no, the foreign devil said that he refused to sell the warship, and the Queen Mother was unstable in the palace, so this foreign devil came to maneuver, oh there is a word, yes, yes, it is called mediation!" ”

A slight cough sounded behind a few people, several people's hairs stood on end, turned their heads, and found that it was An Dehai with a blue feather, An Dehai looked around at a few people, and shouted softly: "What a big courage, dare to arrange the affairs of the Queen Mother?" It's not crooked! Several people hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Keep your mouth shut for me, don't let foreigners talk!" (To be continued.)
