"The guard company allocated half of its troops to protect His Majesty and King Shangtai as they move to Galle Castle..." Xiao Letian shouted loudly, "The rest of the non-combatants also moved to Galle Castle..."
"The rest of the soldiers follow me, unload the bullets... don't hurt the local people, there must be a misunderstanding here! Damn it, why don't the British on the dock intervene?"
Xiao Letian analyzed various possibilities at that moment. Tianlai Novelｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ I haven't had much contact with him before.
Are the British angry? This is also unlikely. If you want to fall out, do it directly on the sea.
French spies up to something? Do you want to provoke such a big civil unrest on British territory, especially in a military important place like Galle? It sounds ridiculous.
After much deliberation, the biggest possibility is that there was a misunderstanding between the Chinese soldiers who were not familiar with local customs and the local indigenous people.
"Yes, it is very likely because of this. Sri Lanka's religious beliefs are very mixed, including Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and various strange tribal beliefs. This can be seen from the strange costumes and weird tattoos of the local people. Out!"
"It must be the soldiers on vacation who have touched the taboos of the locals, which caused a serious misunderstanding... We cannot let the situation escalate. Even if we suffer a loss, we must give in three points!"
Xiao Letian led more than 20 soldiers from the security company and began to run towards the dock. The more he ran, the more his guess was verified, because he found that many British police officers were watching the joke outside the chaotic crowd and had no intention of interfering at all. This shows that this This chaos should not be a conflict between countries, but just a controlled quarrel.
Even if it is a quarrel, this is the first time that the Chinese army has appeared in the Indian Ocean. How can it leave a bad impression? I will lock these idiots up when they come back.
Galle Castle is not far from the pier. After running along the coastal path for more than ten minutes, you can clearly see the chaotic crowd. Xiao Letian shouted, "Everyone has... urgent gathering... move closer to me!"
Then he shouted in English to the British police who were watching the excitement, "I am the Chinese Yuan Xiao Letian, and I ask you to intervene immediately to stop this chaos!"
The British people who were watching the excitement were so frightened that they really did not expect that the man in a white shirt was the Chinese Yuan Xiao Lotte. A British police sergeant led a group of Sikh turbans and immediately stood at attention and saluted.
"Hello, dear Prime Minister!" The police chief rubbed his hands in embarrassment. "What did you say? Dear Prime Minister, what is the chaos? Where is the chaos? No..."
The guard who rushed at the front had his nose crooked in anger. He pointed at the crowd and shouted, "What is this? Hundreds of local people are besieging us, more than a hundred Chinese soldiers. Are you just indifferent?"
The sergeant stared with innocent eyes. He was stunned for a minute before he understood the company commander's English with a strange accent. Then he smiled innocently and said, "Oh my God, you really misunderstood. They are not attacking you." Soldiers, those natives are doing business!"
"Business?" Xiao Letian and all the soldiers present were dumbfounded, and then the exclamations of King Shangtai and Emperor Tongzhi came from behind, "Business? Are people in the Lion Kingdom doing business the same as fighting?"
Xiao Letian turned around and glared at the two disobedient apprentices, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of outsiders and could only let them follow.
The Lion Country in Zaichun's mouth is the ancient Chinese name for Sri Lanka. The Chinese know very little about this huge island and have no idea of its customs and customs. Therefore, those present did not believe what the British Sheriff said. of.
At this moment, more than 30 soldiers stumbled out from the crowded crowd. All the buttons of their clothes were unbuttoned, their military caps were crooked, and they staggered as if they were drunk.
The guard company commander yelled angrily, "Everyone is here! Stand at attention! Huh? Wang Chen, Ye Qiu...are you two trapped in there too? Tell me what's going on? Are you angry?"
The disgraced ones were Wang Chen and Ye Qiu. They were the first batch of soldiers on leave. Seeing Yuan present, the two of them were so embarrassed that they went to dig into the mouse hole. If they didn't reply, they would put it aside and tidy up their appearance first.
Since there were British police around, the local natives who were chasing him did not dare to get too close, so they had to change their targets and attack other Chinese soldiers. Of course, there were a few bold ones who saw Xiao Letian and Qi Yu Xuanang and wanted to get closer.
As a result, a group of Sikh policemen in turbans beat them with sticks until they ran away with their heads in their hands.
Xiao Letian suddenly waved his hand, "Wait a minute...bring me the thin black man at the front. Do you understand English?"
Two Sikh turbans came over escorting a timid native. It seemed that this native had seen some things in the world. Although he was timid, he was not scared to death. As soon as he saw Xiao Letian, he immediately took out the A dirty handkerchief came out and he spoke in English with a flattering look on his face.
"Gemstones... Dear guest, I have the most beautiful gemstones in Sri Lanka. Can I give you the best price..."
Xiao Letian was stunned at the time, "Are you not a mob? Are you selling gems? Are all the seven or eight hundred people on this pier selling gems?"
The British police sergeant beside him smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, dear Prime Minister, they are all gem vendors. The island of Sri Lanka is originally called Gemstone. It is the largest sapphire producing area in the world, and other gemstones are also very productive... …”
Stamping his feet, the police chief smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, there are gems even under our feet. There are gems under every piece of land on this island. It's just a matter of how many!"
Wang Chen and Ye Qiu also said with sad faces, "Bao Yuan, they are really not attacking us, they are just looking for us to do business, my God! They are all selling gems, with handfuls of colorful stones, and we don't care either." You know what’s true and what’s false!”
Ye Qiu pointed at Wang Chen and said, "We all blame him. If he hadn't lost all his wealth, we wouldn't have been surrounded by so many jewelry dealers..."
Wang Chen scratched his head in grievance and took out a shining blue gem from his pocket. Visually, it was about the size of a peanut. The color was very pure and blue and very transparent, but it was not well cut and polished. .
Xiao Letian took the sapphire and turned it gently with his thumb and index finger. "It's not too big or too small. It would be nice to make a small ring, but I don't know if it's true or not..."
The British policeman beside him stretched out his hand and said, "I have been in contact with the jewelry dealers here for many years. I still have some experience. Can you give me a look?"
The military policeman took the transparent sapphire and looked at it carefully in the sunshine. "It's very good. It's a very beautiful medium sapphire. As the prime minister said, it will be very beautiful to make a ring. Can you tell me how much you paid for it?" "
Wang Chen scratched his head and stretched out two fingers in embarrassment.
The police chief smiled, "Did you spend two pounds? It's a bit expensive. This is the origin of gems, and this piece has not been cut and polished. In fact, a pound and a half is enough for you. Two pounds is indeed a bit expensive." Xiaogui, but it can’t be considered a loss..."
Ye Qiu jumped up and said, "Pull him down, this idiot had someone steal twenty dragon-marked silver coins!"
