The residence of the chief soldier of Zhenjiang Prefecture.

Ah Bao is wearing a white suit and bow tie, a pair of white leather shoes, a white hat, and a golden high-imitation watch on his wrist, followed by the heroic Linglong, Linglong is wearing a brocade robe, hanging a jade flute on his waist, and looks like a white-faced scholar, but his temperament is extraordinary.

The two came to the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion side by side, Abao deliberately rolled up his sleeves to reveal the gold watch on his wrist, and he also deliberately took a picture of the soldiers at the door.

The guard soldier blinked vigorously at the golden watch, his eyes stared straight at Abao, this was the first time he had seen this kind of freshly dressed, fashionably dressed weird, it seemed that this lord was still a foreigner, he looked like a rich man, just looking at the shining gold watch on his wrist was worth a lot.

Ah Bao saw the soldier's reaction and he was very satisfied, he was in good spirits, pretended to stomp the scepter in his hand deeply, and said in a deep voice: "I have something to discuss with your boss." ”

After saying that, Abao casually threw ten taels of silver over, and the soldier immediately reached out to catch it, wow! The boss was generous enough, and the soldier suddenly smiled, hurriedly responded, and ran in to report it, and made the other guards at the door swallow with envy.

"Wait, you didn't even ask me who I was, so you went in and reported it?" Abao immediately called out to the soldier from behind, and went in to report that the other party might not be able to see him.

The soldier immediately turned his head and scratched the back of his head, looking at Apo in embarrassment.

"Let's just say that I am a commercial comprador of the British Empire, and I want to talk to your boss about a deal that he will definitely be interested in, go ahead!" After Ah Bao finished speaking, he waved his backhand lightly, full of style.

When the soldier heard this, he thought for a moment and immediately ran towards the house, the British Empire? Although he didn't know what it was, he felt very awesome, and the soldier was more cautious, for fear that he would miss the other party's words.

After a while, the soldier came out in a hurry, and he bent down respectfully and said, "Our general soldier Hu is invited!" ”

"Alright! Just thank you, take this to the brothers for tea. After Ah Bao finished speaking, he casually threw ten taels of silver to the soldier, looking like he threw this silver casually, and he was extremely tyrant.

The soldier took the silver and looked up, and the eyes of the rest of the soldiers were shining, and their eyes seemed to say, "Nima, this is the boss who drinks tea for everyone, don't you want to swallow it alone?" ”

The soldier was also very sensible, and immediately replied to everyone with a "Understand, understand!" Let everyone steady, don't let outsiders see the joke, these ten taels of silver are enough for everyone to eat and drink.

Ah Bao and Linglong followed the soldiers to the hall of the General Soldier's Mansion, Hu Zongbing was sitting on the main seat in the hall leisurely sipping tea, when he saw the two of them coming in, he just raised his eyes slightly and glanced at it and asked casually: "I heard that you want to talk to me about business?" ”

Now that the entire Zhenjiang Mansion is in the hands of this Hu Zongbing, he thinks too highly of himself, and he doesn't let the two of them sit down at all, obviously he hasn't taken them into account.

Ah Bao and Linglong stood in the middle of the field, but they were as steady as Mount Tai, Ah Bao raised his head and said: "That's right, this deal guarantees that you are very interested in Mr. Hu, this is my business card." ”

Linglong immediately stepped forward and handed over the business card, although Linglong was dressed as a man at this time, but she still looked clear and beautiful, the main thing was that there was still a faint trace of heroic chivalry between her eyebrows, which could not be hidden, Hu Zongbing couldn't help but look at Linglong twice.

"Now you're going to do business with me at this time? Ha ha! Hu Zongbing laughed presumptuously when he heard Abao's words, and then, his face sank and he said coldly: "Why do I believe you?" I think you look like spies sent by foreigners, come and take these two down for me. ”

Hu Zongbing didn't really doubt their identities, but saw that the attitude of these two people was too arrogant, and wanted to give them a disadvantage and seize the initiative first.

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of officers and soldiers outside the door immediately rushed into the hall and surrounded Ah Bao and Linglong, and General Hu sat there and looked coldly at the two people who were surrounded in the hall.

At this moment, Abao stood there without blinking his eyelids, Nima, Xin Yu told him everything that could happen today last night, and also did a drill in advance, so that he would have been mentally prepared, otherwise he would be scared to pee on the spot at this time.

Abao stood still, but Linglong next to her moved, only to see her figure shake, an afterimage wandering in the room, the next moment, the surrounding officers and soldiers all flew backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and the weapons in their hands also clanged and fell to the ground.

"Little brother, good means, eat me with a punch." As soon as Mr. Hu's words fell, a pair of huge tiger fists smashed towards Linglong's chest with a strong wind.

In an instant, the two fought together, and Abao hurriedly retreated to the side, fists and feet without eyes, for fear that the two would hurt him if they missed, and the rest of the soldiers also got up from the ground and stood aside to watch the battle.

After dozens of moves, Linglong overcame the rigid with softness, and did not fall behind at all, but Hu Zongbing was secretly surprised in his heart, this kid's fist and foot kung fu is very good, especially his figure, which is completely incomprehensible, every time he almost attacks the kid in front of him, but every time he is dodged by him with a strange body, Hu Zongbing feels that the other party's kung fu may still be above him at this time, and he doesn't seem to have used his full strength.

"Admire! Admire! Mr. Hu suddenly retracted his fist, took a step back, stood there with both hands and said.

"General Hu is worthy of being a general who leads his troops to fight, he is really powerful, and he has learned today." Linglong also hugged her fists and said respectfully, she is giving the other party a step.

Hu Zongbing was very satisfied with what the other party said, others didn't know, but he knew very well in his heart that if he continued to fight, he would definitely lose, and the other party was giving him enough face.

"Xiaolong, who made you make a move, don't hurry up and retreat." Abao's face turned grim and scolded as if he was forced.

Linglong gritted her teeth quietly and obediently stepped aside, and said in her heart: "Boy, let you have to be nervous for a while, and then treat you well when it's over, if it weren't for Brother Da Mao's order to kill you." ”

Seeing that the young man in a suit in front of him was actually shouting at such a master, Hu Zongbing couldn't help but start to look at Abao, and he asked tentatively: "Excuse me, who is this little brother?" "Compared with Abaohu, General Bing is full of interest in Linglong.

"It's just a little bodyguard of mine." Apo said casually.

Little bodyguard, that's it? Nima, it seems that this guy really has a lot of background.

Hu Zongbing didn't dare to despise it anymore, he returned to the main seat and sat down with a teacup, stabilized his mind and suddenly asked, "Where did we just talk about?" ”

At this time, Mr. Hu picked up the business card that he had just thrown on the table and looked at it seriously.

I saw that the business card said that the British Empire, the commercial comprador of the Sophia Ocean Trading Company, must be a position specifically responsible for overseas procurement, but the British Empire looks very powerful.

"Let me introduce myself, my English name is Paul, of course, you can also call me Paul." Apo forcibly loaded a wave again.

"Cannon? Ha ha! I like this name, Lao Tzu only has a musket in his hand now, but there is no cannon, if you can get me some cannons, then there is something to talk about. "Mr. Hu is a big boss, and when he heard such a strange name, he still couldn't hide the rudeness in his heart.

Abao smiled awkwardly, he shook his head helplessly, it's terrible to be uneducated!

"If General Soldier Hu likes artillery, we have a lot of artillery on the English battleship, and if you have the opportunity, you can ask General Soldier Hu to board the warship for a visit." Abao said in a deep voice, pretending to be forced, right? If you can pretend to be me, I'll obey you.

Hu Zongbing's eyes lit up when he heard Abao's words, battleships, artillery, he had heard of these before, and if he could really board the English battleship to observe it, it would also be a long experience.

"Let's talk about business, in a few days, there will be an English freighter departing from Beijing and going south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and it will stop at your Xijin for a while, the freighter is full of grain, and I need to exchange grain from you for a batch of porcelain to be shipped to our England." Ah Bao said the designed lines, which turned out to be the same as the routine of Shen Yuhai's shopkeeper at the beginning.

Hearing the word "grain," General Soldier Hu's eyes straightened, and his face was full of excitement, and he was more interested than when he heard about the warship just now, and his attitude immediately changed.

"Why are you still stunned! Hurry up and show the guests tea! What's more, a bunch of idle guys, don't have any eyesight. ”
