"Slow down! Listen to what he said..." Guiziliu raised his hand to stop the shooting of the short gun team around him. These loyal minions held short guns and formed a human wall in front of Yi Xin.
The dark shadow on the opposite side knelt on the pile of corpses again, "This slave is repeating my master's words. Please forgive me for any disrespect, Lord Gong!"
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu...you are good. This strategy of encircling the point and calling for reinforcements is really clever. Moreover, it is not easy for you to convince the British to support you..."
Guiziliu listened to the words repeated by the person opposite him as if his fifth brother were standing in front of him.
"Old Six, you are still the same as when you were a child. The key to being cunning and cunning is to be good at using people... You have done a lot to win people's hearts. You have been in charge of foreign affairs for so many years and have made a lot of money. You have spent it on buying people's hearts, right? "
"That's right when you think about it. People say you are the Sixth Japanese. You are in charge of the Qing Dynasty's foreign affairs... You have slaves all over the world. How much money will you make from the import and export trade?"
"Actually, you know how Xiao Letian makes money. Didn't you yourself secretly open two silver furnaces to make money privately? You can't hide this from your fifth brother and me!"
"Ever since the death of my father, this great treasure has not been given to you, and you have never been able to get out of your heart, right? You have been preparing to take it back!"
"But it's not easy! The Qing Dynasty has been too strictly controlled by Han rules for two hundred years. You are also afraid of being scolded by the Confucian scholars in the world, so you keep looking for opportunities, keep looking for opportunities!"
"Hahaha... It wasn't until Xiao Letian popped out that you realized that this guy is a good at muddying the waters!"
"Old Six! Others can't understand your wishful thinking, but I still can't understand it? Why did Xiao Letian get the Qing Dynasty's foreign affairs privileges in the first place? Why did he agree to build a special zone in Tanggu?"
"After all, you're not the one behind it? You...you want to use Xiao Letian, the bayonet of Western learning, to kill the Confucian disciples who control people's hearts and both sides will suffer!"
"You can only fish in troubled waters when the water is muddy! Only by hurting those Confucian scholars to the core of their bones will they forget about the superiority of elders and inferiority, the eldest son inheritance system, and the ancestral family laws that cannot be violated!"
"Hahaha... I've noticed how petty you are back then. Unfortunately, I'm a wild man. You can fight however you like!"
"You have nothing to do with me, and I don't care...but you haven't played well! Do you think you can control Xiao Letian, a tiger?"
"Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a hidden dragon... He Daoxing is bigger than you, and the subsequent situation was completely beyond your expectation, especially the move of Xiao Letian taking Zai Chun out of the country. Did it make you panic? "
"Emperor Tongzhi who left the Forbidden City is invincible! Xiao Letian can see through this, and of course you can too... In fact, who among the people in the court can't see through it? Can't Weng Tonghe?"
"Everyone is just pretending to be deaf and mute, they just see through but don't tell the truth!"
"Hey... Actually, the moment Zai Chun returned to the Forbidden City, I knew that this nephew was destined to lose! The siege of the Forbidden City is a curse, and whoever comes will be finished!"
"If you go in, don't even think about getting out alive! Xiao Letian once briefly rescued Zai Chun for a few years... But this man's fate was destined, and Zai Chun, who was going round and round, returned to his own destiny. !”
"Hey... I really want to give it a try. I want to see if my fifth brother can compete with you... In fact, I took over the defense of the capital, the Battle of Zhuozhou and the Battle of Yongding River. This is all my Plan A. !”
"Plan A is nothing complicated. It's just to save Zai Chun and fight you down. Then I will become a powerful prince, and maybe even the regent... Hahaha!"
"What a pity! I'm not your opponent...Plan A has completely failed! You fought beautifully, and you were good from the beginning to the end!"
"To be honest, I am convinced by you now! My father really should have chosen you to inherit the great treasure. If I had chosen you, our Qing Dynasty would not have lost so miserably!"
"It may be a little setback, but it will definitely not hurt your vitality... Hey... our dad! If you ask me, he is just presbyopic and has no sense of recognition at all!"
"Back then, he kicked me out of the Forbidden City and adopted me. When I died, I didn't choose a good son to inherit the treasure! Do you think he was blind?"
"Okay... I won't talk nonsense to you anymore! Since plan A completely failed, brother, I still have plan B!"
"Hahaha... Do you know what it is? You can guess it... Lao Liu, you want to be the emperor, but you have to have someone to carry the sedan for you!"
"Don't you, Fifth Brother, please say something nice! My direct troops have gathered north of the ruins of the Old Summer Palace... Then we can have a showdown and see how much chips your Fifth Brother's men are worth!"
"You want to organize the Eight Banners deliberation, and you want to learn from Europe and have a noble assembly... OK! Fifth Brother supports you! But you have to agree, how many seats will you give me? How many rights will you give me..."
"If you are too stingy, Fifth Brother will not cause trouble for you and retreat to Xuanhua Mansion. I will march westward and directly occupy Shanxi! There are still some brothers who are powerful enough to separate a province!"
"You should think carefully about it! My brother is waiting for you in the Old Summer Palace... and I have a small gift for you, keep it well!"
After saying that, the black shadow threw an unknown object towards me. There was also a master on Guiziliu's side who turned over and landed it in his hand. When he took a closer look, it turned out to be a jade-encrusted gourd of the opposite sex.
"Grasspod jar?" How could anyone in the capital not know about this kind of thing, a molded gourd? This kind of craftsmanship was called by the Qing Dynasty people!
Guiziliu took over this small gourd and grasshopper jar. It was very simple and compact. Then he looked at it under the light of the fire. He saw that the gourd pattern was very simple but rare.
It turned out to be a frame of pea pods, with leaves and pods hanging on a bamboo pole frame. There were pots and stoves in the farmyard below.
Holding the grasshopper jar in his hand, the grasshopper inside felt the change in temperature and suddenly screamed. Such a voice suddenly came from the bloody battlefield, which was a bit shocking.
The messenger on the other side said, "When we were in the Old Summer Palace, you asked me to adopt you... It's a pity that before I could catch the Grasshopper three days later, Amma adopted me!"
"Hey...this time, brother, I will fulfill your wish!"
After the messenger finished speaking, he kowtowed three times and without waiting for Guizi Liu's reply, he turned around and disappeared into the darkness. The guards around Yixin were about to catch him when Guizi Liu shook his head and said, "Let him go..."
Touching the gourd and grasshopper jar in his hand, Guiziliu felt warm in his heart, "Hey... Fifth brother, do you still remember? Back then... when Huang Ama adopted you out of the palace, I couldn't let go of you!"
"At that time, my brothers and sisters were holding back their energy to study and practice martial arts, to perform better, and to act for my father... Only you lived a pure life!"
"Climb trees to dig out bird eggs, go into the water to touch small fish, catch grasshoppers in the grass, skip class to watch ants fight... Haha, fifth brother, do you know how much we envied you at that time?"
"When we are alive, it is called acting... When you are alive, it is called real life!"
"The beans are burning in the beanpan as they are boiling...the beans are weeping in the cauldron...they are from the same roots, so why be too hasty!"
Just after Guiziliu finished reading these lines of poetry, the dark shadow that had left suddenly came back!
