American Minister Hua Ruohan, this is the first time he has seen Xiao Letian, he never expected to see this Qing Dynasty man in a suit for the first time, and he was actually stuffing a dog buli bun into his mouth. Rao is his diplomatic cultivation for many years, and he can't hold it anymore, and his eyes look straight at Xiao Letian stuffing buns into his mouth.

"Lewis, this is what you call the messenger of civilization, Shaw? God, he can't be hooked up with a gentleman in this way......" In the private room on the second floor of the coastal building, Warrenham, dressed in civilian clothes, stood at the window, and next to him was the American missionary Lewis.

"Well, yes, sometimes Shaw is hard to equate with a gentleman, but I assure you, Shaw is still very ...... most of the time civilized, of course, provided you don't provoke him......" Lewis was a little embarrassed to say this, how could an economic criminal like Xiao Lotian who privately minted money not be able to get involved with a gentleman.

At this time, at the gate of the coastal building, Fan Yao's shopkeeper can be regarded as waiting for Xiao Letian, just now the guy has already reported, Mr. Xiao has already entered the city, but why hasn't he arrived for so long, he is really anxious.

When Xiao Lotian appeared, Fan was so angry, the two foreign adults upstairs were waiting for you, you are good, you went to eat the dog and ignored the buns, and you packed them and brought them back.

"Oh, how do you eat this kind of thing, this is all eaten by the strength practitioners, if you don't do it cleanly, if you have a stomach, you will have to make trouble with me again" Fan Yao looked at the prospective son-in-law in front ......of him and shook his head and sighed, and snatched the bun with his hand.

The old shopkeeper was right, the dog at that time was not much noble food, meat, oil, affordable, delicious and hungry, people who were full of strength, carrying a big bag in the afternoon. This is a typical civilian food, and people of Xiao Letian's status really shouldn't eat these things.

But there is no way, the dog in later generations ignored the boutique route and opened a star-rated restaurant, which has long been linked to high-end in the hearts of the people. Therefore, Xiao Letian's index finger moved, and it is understandable to try it.

"I'm sorry gentlemen, the temptation of all kinds of folk delicacies all over the land of China is too great for me, I'm really sorry to keep Mr. Minister waiting for a long time......" Xiao Letian entered the private room with a string of words in a round New York dialect, and Hua Ruohan's eyes lit up at that time.

"Mr. Xiao, I am here to meet you today in a private capacity, please do not bring out the word "minister". Today's meeting, the U.S. government, including myself, will not admit it, and all the contents will not enter any written materials, that is to say, in history, you and I have not met privately this time......"

Hua Ruohan said with a stern expression: "I must remind Mr. that if there are 'rumors' of our meeting from you, then all our cooperation and friendship will be abolished......"

At this time, Xiao Letian also put away his cynicism, he knew that he was facing a real old fox, in the second Opium War, this Hua Ruohan nominally helped the Qing Dynasty to adjust the crisis, but behind the scenes he provided a lot of information to the British and French armies, and even discussed the next plan together.

It was precisely by virtue of his superb diplomatic skills and espionage ability that this diplomat in his 50s was able to enjoy all the preferential terms of the "Tianjin Treaty" and the "Beijing Treaty" with Britain, France, and Russia without firing a single soldier.

In 1860, the Second Opium War, which was humiliating for the Chinese, broke out, and in the same year on the other side of the ocean, Abraham Lincoln was officially inaugurated as president, when the political and economic situation in the United States was dire, the industrial capitalists in the north and the hacienda owners in the south were very opposed, and the whole country was on the verge of division.

To tell the truth, at that time, the United States could not send soldiers to participate in the operations of the British and French armies, and at that time, Europe and North America did not have such a close relationship as later generations, and no one would share the benefits with others. The Anglo-French coalition army captured the city of Beijing, and naturally the British and French enjoyed the preferential treatment of the treaty.

The Russians sent out the Cossacks to threaten them, which can be regarded as a contribution, and no one can say anything about signing an agreement with the Qing Dynasty alone. The United States is the only one of the four countries that has not sent troops, and from beginning to end, Warren led the diplomatic team to run back and forth all over Beijing and Tianjin, and finally relied on the strength of diplomats to let the United States enjoy the benefits of this war.

What is an elite? This is an elite, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the modern Su Qin and Zhang Yi. Xiao Lotian met such a master of conspiracy today, his smile on the surface has not changed, but his heart has become highly nervous.

"I very much agree with Mr. Hua Ruohan's suggestion, as an excellent diplomat, you have your strict discipline and diplomatic standards, I very much agree with some of your concerns, I want to understand and communicate with each other, and we will definitely make our meeting very friendly and harmonious......" Xiao Lotian finished speaking in English, and stretched out his hand to signal for him to be seated.

On the round table are more than a dozen exquisite side dishes, the seafood in the coastal building is very good, and the sea view outside the window is also extraordinarily chic. However, the four people present were not interested in eating, and the two sides fell into a short period of silence.

Hua Ruohan didn't rub sand in his eyes, and with Xiao Letian's accurate use of diplomatic vocabulary in English just now, he could be sure that this young man was definitely well-educated as an aristocracy. You must know that this era is not the era of the development of consulting in later generations, and even in Europe and the United States, there are a large number of illiterates, and it is already very good for ordinary people to be able to read newspapers.

Under this kind of education, it is not easy for a person to be able to use rigorous diplomatic vocabulary accurately. But why is there no record of this Chinese with a New York accent in the intelligence network? If there are such outstanding young people studying in New York, Hua Ruohan cannot know about it.

"Mr. Xiao, you keep saying that you are an overseas lonely traveler, grew up in Europe and traveled to many countries, at first I was very skeptical of your words, but when I saw your "Journey to the West", I changed my opinion, this kind of seemingly straightforward and entertaining novel, but the structure in it is very real Western history, and I can clearly see that you also have some knowledge of ancient Rome and ancient Greek culture......"

"I must admit that I would not be able to write such a book at all, even if those scholars in the West did not have decades of precipitation, it would be impossible to write it, let me ask, how could you write such an article at such a young age? To put it mildly, with your historical knowledge, you will definitely not be an unknown person in Europe and the United States. But why can't my intelligence network find a trace of you?"

"Even the intelligence agencies in the United States can't find out your identity information, you seem to appear out of thin air, please give me a clear answer......

It's coming, it's time to come and never run, Xiao Letian knows that his lies are easy to fool the people of the Qing Dynasty, but as long as they attract the attention of Westerners, especially politicians, they will definitely check their identities.

This problem is unsolvable, Xiao Letian can't justify himself at all, Xiao Letian has made many assumptions about this kind of problem before, but there is no excuse that can be said to be satisfactory. With today's technology, take a photo casually and mail it to the government departments of Western countries, and you can know that Xiao Letian does not exist in any country at will.

Xiao Lotian sighed, smiled and did not answer this question directly: "If my guess is correct, Mr. Hua Ruohan was able to see me in Tanggu privately today, is it the information I provided, or the 'divine revelation' really appeared? I wonder how Mr. President is doing now?"

Xiao Lotian did not have a passive defense, but instead took the initiative to attack and gave Hua Ruohan a hard uppercut, which woke up the two American devils. Today you are here to thank me, but you are not coming to the door to find trouble, pay attention to the way you speak!

Hua Ruohan's face was a little embarrassed, and at this time Pastor Lewis took over the conversation, "Xiao, the accuracy of your intelligence is shocking to the country, you said that in April, try to keep the president out of public places, but I didn't expect the accident to happen in April......"

In real history, on April 14, 1865, Lincoln was at the Ford's Theatre in Washington when he was attacked by gunmen and pronounced dead a few hours after being shot in the back of the head. There are many questions and mysteries about this assassination, but no one can find the mastermind behind the real life, and in the end, it can only be pushed to the personal behavior of the gunman.

Xiao Letian didn't dare to tell the information in such detail, he just said that there would be a very dangerous assassination of President Lincoln in April, and he hoped that the president would do a good job of strict protection.

Fortunately, Lewis and Warren were die-hard fans of President Lincoln, and fortunately Xiao Lotian used 'divine revelation' to fool a cleric, anyway, in the end, this seemingly ridiculous information actually came to the United States and finally handed over to Lincoln. Of course, this information came to the president in the name of a private letter.

Lincoln certainly wouldn't believe this kind of prophetic intelligence, and the prophet was still a Chinese, which was so hilarious that the president casually tucked the letter in a book and ignored it.

It wasn't until April 14, when Lincoln was about to go to Ford's Theatre to see a play, that he suddenly felt a panic in his heart, as if he had a sense of foreboding, and then he thought of the ridiculous Chinese intelligence letter.

In the end, the president chose to walk into the box, and when the plot played out to its best, the wheel of history did not change, and the assassin quietly entered the president's box, and the criminal muzzle was aimed at the back of the president's head at close range.

The gun rang off, and it was at the moment when the gun rang out that the trajectory of history was fanned by Xiao Letian, a little butterfly, and finally changed. I saw that in the curtain of the box, a figure suddenly rushed out, rushed straight to the gunman, and at the last moment, knocked down the killer.

The bullet missed, not in the back of the president's head, but pierced the right shoulder blade, leaving Lincoln in a pool of blood.

It was Lincoln's nephew who saved the man, and Lincoln's ghost felt the danger before watching the play, which, combined with the odd Chinese intelligence, led him to choose a very clever nephew in the family as his last bodyguard.

When Xiao Lotian heard this, his excited hands trembled. He grabbed the flask beside him and poured himself a full glass, which was sprinkled by the end.

How could he not be excited? History finally changed, and the little breeze he had blown up across the Pacific Ocean turned into a hurricane. If Lincoln did not die, the course of American history would change, in other words, the modern history of Europe would also change, and even the historical development of the entire earth would take a different and new path.

Xiao Letian was even a little crazy now, and he drank three glasses in a row before he calmed down, "Your Excellency President, how is your health?"

Warren and Lewis suddenly stood up at this time, and bowed to Xiao Letian 90 degrees respectfully, "On behalf of the American people, thank you for your information, the president is safe and sound now......
