In fact, Er Mao could have left Emperor Tongzhi. Before the young emperor returned to China, Xiao Letian once asked him that as long as he was willing to leave that ghost place of the Forbidden City, Xiao Letian's private museum in Ryukyu would be Er Mao's future home.
Xiao Letian's feelings towards Er Mao were very complicated. The image of the crying and bullied child from Yi County was still lingering in front of his eyes. Although he saved his family, he was the one who pushed him into the fire pit of the Forbidden City to become a spy!
Er Mao is very good. Over the years, he has actually successfully changed his identity from a spy to a messenger who secretly bridges the gap between the two parties. With Er Mao, there is a secret communication channel between the head of state and the Forbidden City.
Many words that cannot be put on the table can be passed back and forth through Ermao!
But even if his identity becomes an emissary, Er Mao will still not be able to escape danger. The Forbidden City is now like a ghost town, with ghosts and monsters swarming here. Who knows if anyone is going crazy.
After much deliberation, let Ermao retire early!
But unexpectedly, Er Mao rejected his adoptive father's kindness. Although he wanted to leave the Forbidden City, he didn't want to leave the Forbidden City now.
"Father... Zai Chun still needs me, I have to stay with him and take care of him... Don't look at him being punished and scolded every day by your side, and someone even assassinated him..."
"But compared to the ghostly world in the Forbidden City, you are much safer around you... I have to take care of him!"
"Zai Chun is too emotional and childish... Even if his life is not in danger, he will sometimes do the wrong thing. I have to remind you..."
"In addition, with me by your side, the relationship between you and His Majesty will not become too rigid... Sometimes he still listens to my advice..."
Er Mao finally returned to the country, following Emperor Tongzhi back to the country. Fortunately, with him, Zai Chun would have some spiritual comfort in the countless lonely, panicked, and sleepless nights in the future.
Emperor Tongzhi, who was sitting on the ground, kept crying and twitching. Ermao sat side by side with him, holding the little emperor's shoulder with one hand, leaning against each other without saying a word.
From a distance, they look like brothers!
Outside the window, Da Sixi and Xiao Sixi peeked at all this with vicious eyes. This scene also became their biggest psychological motive for killing Er Mao in the future!
It's chaos, everything is chaos. Today's welcome dinner is destined to fail. The telegram of the signing of the Frankfurt Treaty has made the Chinese people in the city crazy. The joyful parade has begun, and the entire city's military and police forces have been dispatched to maintain law and order.
The square and street in front of the Governor's Palace were in chaos. The carriages and sedan chairs of the distinguished guests were crowded together, and all the entourage were scattered to pieces by the celebrating crowd.
The foreign aristocratic lady stepped on the hem of her floor-length skirt and screamed in shock!
The troops rushed over and began to divide the crowd and isolate a safe area for the VIPs, but how could they look at each other carefully? They were all in a state of embarrassment.
What's even more terrible is that plainclothes officers have captured batch after batch of dangerous elements. Some of them really want to assassinate Zai Chun, and some may be unjust cases... But no matter what, more than a hundred people have been imprisoned so far. to jail.
The interrogator is on his way, and tonight is bound to be a sleepless night!
"How many assassins are there hiding in the crowd? Find them for me. They must be found..." Governor Feili roared the order, his face ashen.
Just when there was a panic, an officer with a pale face ran up to the governor and whispered a few words in his ear. At that time, Governor Philip's face turned blue!
"What? He came... secretly or with troops?"
"Forget it, take me there quickly..."
The Dutch Governor Veoliaka quickly asked, "Who? Who is coming...Who are you going to see?"
Governor Philip ignored him at all, and trotted away under the leadership of the officer and disappeared at the end of the corridor. Governor Veliyaka wanted to chase him, but the guards stopped him politely.
There is a remote small gate in the back garden of the Governor's Mansion. This is usually where the servants transport food and daily necessities, but at this moment, the house where the servants live is full of murderous atmosphere.
A total of thirty British soldiers, standard British native soldiers, not mercenaries from other countries... These native army soldiers surrounded the back door vigilantly, with bayonets mounted on their rifles.
In the small concierge, the natives who guarded the gate had been dumped somewhere long ago. The four Chinese were in plain clothes, but one look at the aura showed that they were definitely not ordinary people.
Four dragon guards were standing guard in the gatehouse, where a middle-aged man with a tired face was sipping beer. There was a faint aroma of barley in the gatehouse.
It was the person in the photo. Governor Philip hurried over with a slight thump in his heart, and started cursing before he even entered the door, "Damn it, how can you let the guests rest in the concierge? What kind of cheap beer is this? Where is my cellar? Why?" If you don’t take it out…”
"Hahaha... The leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, General Xiao Hexin... In fact, your status in Europe is definitely at the level of marshal. It is a pity that the Chinese do not have the position of marshal..."
It was Xiao Hexin who came to Lion City in plain clothes. For the safety of Emperor Tongzhi, he changed his plan and came by boat from Luzon several days in advance. There were heavy rains in the past few days, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Governor, you are so polite. This beer is very good. Everyone in the concierge can drink beer? Your living conditions are really good..."
Governor Philip's face turned dark. Can't he hear the joke here? This is a mockery of his lax management of the house. The concierge is guarding the back door, but he still dares to secretly drink beer at such an important moment today. Is this going to kill him?
Governor Philip sat across from Xiao Hexin and sneered, "So, my men just captured a group of thugs not far away... Maybe this beer was secretly bribed by those thugs for the purpose of doing bad things!"
Xiao Hexin glanced at him lightly, but it was a light and gentle glance that made Governor Philip break out in a cold sweat!
The leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, he was a low-level officer in the Northern Expedition of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom when he was young. Later, he followed Xiao Letian to kill all over Europe and Asia. This kind of person has an infiltrating aura that cannot be resisted by these fat-minded governors.
"So what? I'm here to see you, and I still hope that the governor can give you some face... let those people go!"
"Huh? So, you admit that this is the assassination planned by you?" The governor hit the snake and followed it with a stick.
"Hahaha... Don't be joking. If it was me who planned it, do you think His Majesty Emperor Tongzhi would still be alive now?"
"Mr. Governor, the overall situation is of paramount importance! Our Chinese nation and the Empire of the Sun Never Set have already exchanged letters of credence, and the relationship between the two parties is in the honeymoon period, so why cause more trouble?"
"Let him go, I'll go see His Majesty!"
Drink...Governor Philip is so angry. You are so powerful and majestic. Are you here to give me orders?
He really wanted to fall out, but looking at Xiao Hexin's determined look, he didn't dare to do so!
