"Where is this?" When the blindfold was removed, Major Risken couldn't help but block the dazzling sunlight with his hand, in fact, the sunlight that was almost dusk was not dazzling, but he was not used to such light when he had just been released from the darkness of more than ten hours. When he saw the situation in front of him clearly, he not only gasped, but the quiet atmosphere around him, who thought he was in the wilderness, found that there were more than 20 yellow soldiers in iron gray military uniforms within ten meters of him raising guns and guarding, maybe they didn't understand his English, maybe for other reasons, no one paid attention to him. "Ha, man, can you tell me where this is?"

"Young man, if I were you, I would keep my eyes open and my mouth closed, which will make you live a little longer." An old man in a cropped suit muttered softly.

"Well, may I ask you who are."

"Dou Nale, Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to China. Dear Mr. Major of the United States"

"Ah, hello, I mean, sir, you have a point." Major Risken was a little at a loss, after all, this was a British diplomat with a knighthood.

"It's just a little bit of advice from me, and I'm glad you find it useful." The old man said softly, "Our current situation may not be better than before, according to the standards of your professional soldiers, how are these yellow soldiers?" ”

"Soldiers? Are you saying they're not boxers? Major Risken was a little puzzled, "But how can there be yellow soldiers around here, Japanese?" ”

"Boxers? Ha, if the boxers were all of this kind of literacy, then we would have been beaten down to the beach in Tanggu a long time ago. I've been in this country for 10 years, and although they don't speak much, I know very well that they are Qing and professionally trained soldiers. "There were some exchanges of fire last night, and although it was minor, I think they were hostile to the kidnappers. ”

"You're saying we've been rescued."

"Or kidnapped again, God forbid."

"Uh." The Major was thinking about this complex issue with the thinking of a cowboy, and was silent for a while.

"Are these soldiers the Qing New Army?" Minister Dou Nale was also puzzled, although he was locked in the cellar and did not see the whole rescue process, but the faint screams, the resonance of the cold weapon bump, and the occasional gunfire still made him understand that the whole rescue process was not so harmonious. As he was being driven out of the cellar, he was keenly aware of the fact that in a compound that had not been closed, corpses were lying all over the ground, and several gunmen were holding rifles, guarding all around. In the other courtyard, the doors were closed, but the cries, begs, and reprimands that came from inside made him understand that these people were captives and guards. Judging from the situation of the two courtyards, these later rescuers have taken control of the situation, but their identities and attitudes are obviously still unknown, and the change of circumstances is developing in a direction that Dou Nale cannot control, which makes the husband very depressed.

"With all due respect, are you Mr. Dou Nale?" In the ranks of black-clothed soldiers, who had been silent, a man who looked like an officer came over and asked. The familiar London accent surprised the old man, but the quality of a diplomat made him react quickly.

"Yes, sir, I am the Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to China." He stood up and said.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sir, we didn't contact you because we were in possible danger, but now we can be sure we're safe. Allow me to introduce myself, I am the Great Qing Dynasty Huyong Baturu, a third-class viscount. Appreciate the yellow coat, the one-eyed Shandong political envoy, Wu Yuhan with the rank of squire in the military department, of course, you can call me Sean. The young officer smiled, "Is there anything I can do with you, Mr. Sir?" ”

"Thank God you and your soldiers saved us." Although the whole thing is full of suspicions, how can a diplomat not understand the truth that "people are under a low eaves and have to bow their heads", first use words to trap the other party, ask for peace, and then say, "Although the two countries are in a state of hostility, the heroic rescue actions of you and your soldiers will inevitably be appreciated and appreciated by all countries in China, whether it is for your country or for yourself." "The tongue of the old diplomatic fritter is not comparable to me, anyway, I just think it is a Yanmar fart, and it is strange to believe him.

"The whole thing is very tortuous, in fact, I am going to submit it to The Times, and I believe it can be a second edition of the serialization." "To put it simply, I was assigned by His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to contact the countries in China to see if I could find a peaceful and decent way to resolve the misunderstanding between the two sides. In the initial contact, you believed that some hostile* elements of the Qing Dynasty had planned the kidnapping activities, and wrongly took your anger on our government, although in our investigation we found no evidence that our Korean forces planned and organized the kidnapping operation, in order to dispel the misunderstanding of the other countries, I still promise to find your whereabouts within one week. God willing, the good subjects of the Great Qing Dynasty have discovered the transfer of your abductees and reported to the government the exact location of your position. I have only planned a successful rescue operation, and I am glad that you and your companions are safe and sound, and I hope this will help to clear up the misunderstanding between you and me. ”

"Of course, we are grateful for your rescue, in fact, this despicable kidnapping incident should have nothing to do with your government." The bearded Governor Alekseev interjected indignantly: "All this is thanks to our great allies, a bunch of filthy, vile, shameless, and obscene yellow-skinned monkeys, sorry, I was a little rude." ”

"It's okay, I can understand your feelings, in fact, we have gained some from interrogating the captives, but you know that our position is not convenient to provide such a conclusion, we want to avoid leaving you with suspicion of sowing discord, please understand our distress. I hope that this unpleasant experience will not affect your gentleman's perception of the Qing Dynasty, in fact, I and my colleagues in the Shandong Chamber of Commerce are still very willing to exchange and learn from you European and American elites, hereby I invite you and your companions, I hope you will go to Shandong at a convenient time to see, I and my Chamber of Commerce partners welcome your visit at any time. As the new political envoy of Shandong, I am in charge of Shandong's government affairs and business, please believe that my Shandong's policy and business atmosphere will be the most friendly in the whole East, we very much welcome the investment and trade activities of international friends, and wholeheartedly provide you with security and public services.

I'm still very good at singing white faces, in fact, the prisoners of the rescue operation have long been prepared, Wang Protector arranged several hardcore boxers in a room according to my instructions, and a concussion bomb was all done, and their testimony was complete except for not personally participating in the kidnapping operation, and the missing part of the kidnapping operation will have some bearded international friendly people who are enthusiastic to use careful logical reasoning to help us make up for it. In particular, among the people arrested, there is also a lurking amateur spy of the Koyakai who was confessed by Kawashima-kun, and God really helps me. The other guys who have seen the escort convoy have been called by the lifeless old mother, and they have died in bliss, even our great Boxer national hero Tian Shi Yada also died heroically in the bed of the wing room after a bloody battle, and finally died in the bed of the wing room because of being outnumbered, and there is also an unknown heroine with a red light shining together, let us remember their heroic deeds together, Hallelujah.

Now all the suspicions in the whole incident undoubtedly point to a rising star of different skin colors in the coalition forces, and they just have a part of the troops mysteriously missing, but they have almost no losses in the whole incident, and in order to be more logically smooth, I transferred nearly 100,000 taels of silver from the stolen silver, and deposited it in the Yokohama Zhengjin Bank in Tianjin, and the account casually made up a Nobi Yasuo, and after a period of time, there will be an accidental homicide in the British and French concessions in Tianjin, and the clues will point to this account, At that time, readers in Europe and the United States will find an interesting phenomenon in the newspapers: the robbed and dirty silver in the capital robbery was deposited in Japanese banks by the Japanese, and the Japanese government and military firmly denied participating in the robbery that killed their allies.

On the official road on the outskirts of Beijing, a detachment of mixed dragoons wearing Western-style military uniforms, carrying Manlicia fast guns, drowning long braids, riding horses and mules, walked on both sides, while in the middle of the more than 30 mule and horse carts sat on the eagle-nosed and sheep-eyed columns and civilian officials -- the rescued hostages, who looked as if they were prisoners of war escorted by us. If you take this historical moment, you will definitely misunderstand whether the ending of the Battle of Gengzi is written down. However, the dozens of guys who were raised from our nest did not have the heart to take care of their own dignity and the country's decency, and were locked up in a small cellar for more than 30 days, during which they were almost dragged by the indignant boxer brothers many times to practice performance arts such as disembowelment and disembowelment, and the dismemberment of five horses, so these hostages are now more or less neurotic. Except for the swaggering Yankee Major Risken and the cunning Minister Dou Nale, everyone else greeted my soldiers in the most enthusiastic way they could think of after knowing that they had been rescued safely, and as a result, due to the huge difference in etiquette and habits between China and foreign countries, some soldiers with normal sexual orientation fought against the foreign adults who kissed them. I can also understand the motivational reaction of the fighters, and in fact if it weren't for the fact that the damned bearded Governor Alekseev didn't die of a contagion or gay, I think I might have been tempted to give him a minor rooster to hen surgery when he repeatedly bullied me in the cheek with his big beard. But apparently the bearded governor thought of me as the half-naked saint on the cross on his breast, and muttered praise of thankfulness to God as he bowed his face, and if he had changed the object of praise to me, I might have forgiven his choking smell. In short, after we had camped in the city, I was amazed to find that the young men who usually cook like sows should regard housekeeping as a more important task than eating, and that God, the great patriotic health campaign may have originated from this little hostage rescue. So I sang a song while praising God and took a shower, and I was full of joy and scolded some of the guys who were waiting to come in and wash outside, hehe, it seems that the definition of happiness at the moment is that you are taking a happy bath in the bathroom, and some of the guys who have hurriedly stripped off their naked cheeks are wrapped in sheets and shuddering at the door and scolding the street and turning around.
