The memory of hunting the copper coin cat has always been in Isabella's mind, never forgotten, and can always be remembered.

At the same time, another memory will come to mind at the same time.

Brilliant lights, on top of the banquet full of laughter, a gentle kiss fell on the back of her hand.

Two very different memories, but at the same time entangled Isabella's mind.

That's because these two memories are related to the man in front of her, and even if it weren't for this man, maybe Isabella wouldn't have remembered these two extremely ordinary things at all.

It is precisely because of these two events that Isabella understands more that the man in front of her is as tough as a thousand-year-old stone, and once he has made up his mind, it is difficult to change his mind.

The fact that he dared to cut his throat and execute François in front of Trio and in such a situation is enough to show his attitude and determination.

So she and her father Trio actually know very well in their hearts that they can only negotiate with Chen Mu, not tear their faces, otherwise they can only die of Trio!

If it was still the same Chen Mu at the beginning, maybe he could still confuse him, maybe he could still be false, or maybe he could make him jealous and give up by himself.

But not anymore.

Chen Mu killed all the enemies who should be killed, although Trio only boarded the ship in order to persuade François, and in order to end Chen Qiyou's suffering, he shot Chen Qiyou, and the real culprit was François.

But if Chen Mu investigates it, it is not too much to regard Trio as an enemy who killed his father.

Isabella is one of the few people who knows Chen Mu's temper well, although he doesn't have much contact with Chen Mu, but the experience of the two is too tangled, obsessive, vigorous, and very unimaginable.

She knew that Chen Mu had always taken revenge as the last motivation and the motivation to support him to continue living.

If he pushes him too hard, he will not hesitate to kill Trio to make his life complete.

So, at such a juncture, Isabella made her choice.

However, Chen Mu didn't seem to buy it: "You talk to me?" You are only the daughter of a consul, and you are not an official, so why should you talk to me about military discharge and compensation? ”

Isabella walked up to the front and said to Chen Mu a little aggressively: "You are also not an official person, why should you talk about retirement and compensation?" ”

"Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, God's to God, there is an official negotiation, and we have ours."

Chen Mu looked at Isabella and said with interest, "How do you want to talk about it?" ”

Isabella was very simple: "Let my father go, I will be your hostage, we will withdraw from the army immediately, and my father will negotiate with the Guangzhou government about compensation, and after the negotiation is completed, you will let me come back." ”

Chen Mu was slightly stunned, but soon laughed.

"I admire your courage and boldness, but I admire your generosity even more, have you forgotten that you, a father, once gave up on you, once in everything, there will be a second time, you are not afraid that he will give up on you again?"

Chen Mu's words were also extremely heart-wrenching, because what he said was the truth, and because it was the truth, it pierced Isabella's heart even more!

Trio is also very guilty, because he did give up this daughter regardless of Isabella's life and death.

Because of this, after this incident, the relationship between father and daughter fell to the freezing point for a while, but I didn't expect that when I encountered danger this time, my daughter was still willing to stand up for him.

The execution of François in front of him brought a great shock to Trio, and also made him see Chen Mu's will to die.

Trio finally raised his head and ordered the people behind him, "Retreat!" ”

The man hesitated for a moment, whether he ran out to give the order, and not long after, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside.

Chen Mu glanced at Lin Zongwan, who walked to the window and looked out, the soldiers of the Fan Ghost Guy were really gathering the whole team and exiting the block in an orderly manner!

Seeing Lin Zongwan nodded, Chen Mu took out the order flag, handed it to Ah Shui, and ordered: "Go and inform Qingchang and ask him to come and count." ”

Terio was furious when he heard this: "This is an insult to me! ”

Chen Mu smiled and said, "Your Excellency, from the moment you decided to lead the troops into Guangzhou City, you should have expected such a result. ”

"You think the outcome of this war would have changed without me? You might as well come out and have a look. ”

Chen Mu glanced at Yang Dachun, who brought Trio to the window.

Chen Mu walked over, pointed in the direction of the defense line, and said to Trio: "Tens of thousands of civilians in Guangzhou City spontaneously organized themselves to assist the government in defending the city, have you seen such a scene?" ”

Trio looked around, but saw civilians moving around the city like ants, transporting supplies to the other end of the line.

He had to admit that this kind of scene was indeed too familiar.

Whether it's France, England, or other foreign armies, they already have this consensus.

The government of the Great Qing Kingdom seems to like negotiations, just like a dying rich man who loves face, as long as he leaves them with the last dignity, he will give them whatever he wants.

But these people, like a poor barehead holding the last steamed bun, want to pluck a hair from him, he can fight with you!

From the moment the explorers set foot on this magical eastern continent, they have already learned how tenacious and powerful the people of this land are!

They endured poverty and misery, and the plutocrats and bureaucrats stole most of their wealth, but when the plutocrats and bureaucrats chose to compromise, these people were able to risk their lives to defend the land.

This had puzzled explorers, who were supposed to be nervous about the rich and bureaucrats, not the destitute common people.

It is incomprehensible that they are oppressed and use their humble lives to defend the interests of their oppressors when they are at stake.

But when they really took root in this land and went deep into ordinary life, they finally understood this feeling.

Even the lowest and most humble civilians, although they live the most difficult life and seem insensitive, there is always a belief in their hearts.

The missionaries used to think that there was no faith in this land, and most of them were theists, but these gods were made by man.

In China, when a person's achievements reach the peak, they will be canonized as gods, and from ancient times to the present, they have turned people into gods.

And these people are not perfect people, they also had setbacks and unbearable before they became gods.

But this all shows the root nature of this nation.

They may have been a little numb, but even if they are pressed in the dirt, they will still look up at the sun in the sky!

No matter who rules the land, they always consider themselves to be the true masters of the land!

Trio watched all of this, but finally chose to remain silent.

Ah Shui finally brought Qingchang over, and the defenders in the city who came before.

Keichaga walked to the bottom of the restaurant and commanded the defenders to recover the stronghold and territory, but he did not set foot in the restaurant, as if he was thinking about something.

He continued to gather people, strengthened the defense of the pass, and constantly issued one order after another, as if he was holding the lost treasure again, guarding the corners of Guangzhou City, but ignoring the things in the restaurant.

"What the hell is he doing!" Lin Zongwan was also very indignant!

Ah Shui not only brought the news to Qingchang, but also spread throughout the city of Guangzhou, and the people in the city, as well as those guys and brothers who were connected with the community, took to the streets one after another, waiting for this inspiring and glorious moment of exhalation and eyebrows!

However, Keicho let the soldiers pull up a cordon and didn't let in any civilians!

Seeing this, Trio's face finally softened, and he even showed a meaningful smile!

"What did you ancient writers say? It seems that when the hot water for washing the hair is ready, the lice on the head begin to mourn each other, and when the building is completed, the swallows and sparrows will be happy because they can build nests......"

"Yes, the soup is set and the lice hang each other, and the building is completed and the birds congratulate each other." Chen Mu frowned, he didn't understand what Trio meant, but when he thought of the last half of this sentence, he suddenly understood.

"The soup is set and the lice hang each other, the building is completed and the birds congratulate each other, and the joy is goodbye."

Depending on the level at which you are located, the benefits and losses you consider will be different.

Perhaps, in their eyes, forcing the troops to retreat and capturing Trio is a matter of pride, a great pleasure, and even a thousand years of merit.

But for Keicho, is this really something to be happy and celebrated?

Chen Mu hadn't figured out the reason yet, but it could be seen from the surface that Qing Chang was not happy at all, otherwise he would rush up and take over as soon as possible.

He didn't come up, which means that he doesn't want this credit, or from another point of view, for Qingchang, I'm afraid it's not a credit.

Chen Mu walked to the window and looked at Qingchang, and Qingchang seemed to sense Chen Mu's eyes, and also raised his head, but his eyes were very cold, but there was no gratitude!

Chen Mu finally believed Trio's words.

He doesn't have much awareness of the things in the court, if Zhang Zhidong is here, or Tan Zhonglin and others, they should be able to give him an answer.

Even Fu Qingyin is estimated to be more good than him Chen Mu.

It's a pity that there is no such character around Chen Mu now.

When he was still in doubt, Qingchang had already left the restaurant, but the soldiers outside did not retreat, they still guarded, not letting the people come in to watch the excitement, as if they did not want to see them welcome the most celebratory moment!

Once upon a time, both the government and the opposition had incidents of resisting foreign invaders and winning a great victory.

However, as time went by, there were fewer and fewer such things, and more often, both officials and ordinary people suffered humiliation, defeats, and unequal treaties.

Pretending to be a foreigner judge, going deep behind enemy lines, going straight into the line with a single sword, capturing Trio, and forcing back the foreigner army, such a thing is simply legendary.

However, Keicho didn't seem to be happy to see such a scene, and even chose to ignore it, and he didn't know what to do!

At this moment, Chen Mu really didn't understand.
