The boat passed through Dalian Bay, Port Arthur, Lao Tieshan, and then turned westward and entered Bohai Bay. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After another night and a day of travel, the merchant ship finally arrived at Dagu at midnight on October 2.
After receiving a call back from Yizhou, the governor Yamen estimated the itinerary, and when it was about to dark, a team of armed soldiers Goshha came and waited quietly at the dock.
Immediately, He Changying and a few people were invited to the luxurious carriage of the Governor's Palace, surrounded by a group of soldiers, and headed towards the Governor's Palace.
In the silence of the streets, the wheels cooed and the horses' hooves rattled, and the coldness of the night became more and more apparent.
He Changying lifted the curtain and glanced out the window, and there were swarthy low-rise houses everywhere, with the occasional two-storey attic, all of which were the most luxurious places in the Jinmen guard.
After about another more than an hour of staggering, the carriage slowly stopped when He Changying was half-asleep and half-awake.
"Lord He, it's here, please get off the bus."
Outside the carriage, the head of the Governor's Yamen, who was in charge of leading the team, said in a low voice, as if he was afraid of alarming He Changying.
"Oh, good."
He Changying came to her senses and agreed.
"Arrived, arrived, got off, got off."
He Changying yawned and stepped out of the carriage, the slightly cool air outside made his mind sober up suddenly, and he saw that the two cars behind him also stopped.
Under the bright red lantern outside the governor's yamen, the escorted Goshha were shouting angrily, driving Ye Zhichao and the three of them out of the car.
"Hehe, this is really fair and comfortable in people's hearts, everyone has a scale in their hearts!"
He Changying sighed in her heart, what is the people's heart?
Looking at these Goshkha, who usually flaunt their military might, eat, drink and occupy everything, their attitude towards themselves and the generals of the defeated army is clear at a glance.
And Ye Zhichao, after Wei Rugui got out of the car, not only did he not have a trace of unhappiness on his face, but he was full of smiles: "It's freezing late at night today, hard guys." ”
"Two adults, you are also glamorous characters on the scene, I don't think we brothers need to say much, you are also very sensible; As the saying goes, the emperor is not hungry; Haha, the two adults are really refreshing, and they are people who understand! ”
The leader of the pro-soldier who was still cautious about He Changying just now, and Ye and Wei, who were angrily teaching Ye and Wei those who didn't understand the rules, saw the silver tickets in the hands of Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui, and immediately changed them to smiling faces.
"Hehe, brothers, I'm in a hurry, I don't have anything in my hand, so I'll take care of it."
Although He Changying hated these broken rules, the attitude of the leader of the pro-soldiers towards him just now made He Changying more satisfied, although he didn't plan to pay for the silver, and he really didn't have any silver in his hand, but he still said a few words.
"Lord He, look at what you always say, it is the glory of our brothers to greet you; Besides, we should only honor you as a brother, how dare you break the bank. ”
Hearing He Changying's words, the leader of the pro-soldiers hurriedly waved his hand and said he didn't dare.
Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui glanced at each other suspiciously, when did the dog stop eating?
You must know that this 'door bag' and 'errand money' are the rules of the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years.
To tell the truth, except for the people in the Governor's Palace, it is either Uncle Yang in this matter today, but there is really no one who can be so big as not to give 'errand money'.
Everyone walked into the governor's yamen with questions, and the old butler who He Changying had seen twice greeted him with a smile.
"Steward Li, thank you, I haven't rested in the dark of this night."
Seeing that it was Li Hongzhang's big butler who came to greet them, Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui were both overjoyed, which showed that Lord Zhongtang still attached great importance to their two brothers.
So the two hurriedly took out a handful of silver tickets and handed them over inconspicuously.
Seeing the face value on these two silver tickets, Steward Li secretly estimated the amount in his heart, and the wrinkles on the old face smiled even more.
"Let the two adults break the bank, the two adults and this brother have been wronged tonight, please go to the wing room of the Yin Hotel to rest; Lord He, your prestige in North Korea has been admired for a long time. ”
Steward Li hurriedly dealt with Ye Zhichao, and then looked at He Changying with a smile and compliments.
“?”
Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui were both confused.
Not to mention that He Changying only won a few small battles, even if he pacified North Korea, Steward Li, as a confidant who had followed Zhongtang for forty or fifty years, there was no need to lower his body and promote him like this?
There must be something unknown about this!
"It's just a fluke; Uh--, where am I sleeping, are I going back to sleep? ”
He Changying was very sleepy at this time, although he went back to see Xue Yingchun, he was also very willing; However, the black light was so far away, and he didn't know the way, so it was estimated that when he touched it back, it would be dawn.
yes, where does this kid sleep?
Hearing He Changying's question, Ye Zhichao, Wei Rugui, and Wang Shizhen reacted, just now Steward Li only said that the three of them slept in the wing of the Yin Hotel, but did not say where He Changying slept.
"Hehe-"
"Grandpa Li, is Lord He back?"
As soon as Steward Li laughed, the side door in front of him opened with a 'creak', and an old woman walked out with a lantern and a little girl with a sweet voice.
Are you back?
- What do you mean by that?
Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui both shook their hearts, and they seemed to understand something, and their faces suddenly changed.
I see!
No wonder Li Jingfang was so tolerant of He Changying, he swallowed two thousand Mauser fast guns and three Green cannons, and he didn't let go of a single fart.
It turns out that TM is a family!
From this point of view, this He Changying is 100% the next helmsman of Beiyang!
It's a real regret, I knew that I should have put down my body and stammered more when I was in North Korea.
Because the beautiful little maid had been dozing off and waiting for He Changying, she was quick to talk about all the thoughts in her heart, and she was so ashamed that she quietly spit out her cute little tongue, not daring to look at He Changying and the different faces of everyone.
"Lord He, you and the eldest young master, the cousin and the young master are sworn brothers; Zhongtang said that since he was his own family, he would go to the inner house to rest tonight. ”
That Steward Li didn't show any abnormal expression on his face, and explained to He Changying with a smile.
"Oh, okay."
As a person in the future, how can He Changying know so many rules and ways, thinking that this Li Jingfang is interesting enough, she yawned, and in the various eyes of everyone, she followed the little maid and walked towards the inner house.
Soon He Changying came to the inner house of the governor's yamen, and in the dim light, He Changying noticed that in the lotus pond on one side, the lotus canopies were slim, just like the graceful soft waist of the girl wearing a tender green Luo skirt beside her.
I don't know where Li Jingpu lives?
This thought suddenly jumped into He Changying's mind, thinking of Li Jingpu's delicate and bright face, He Changying's heart couldn't help but swing, and it was a little hard underneath.
"Lord He is here, please say hello to Lord He."
He Changying followed the woman in the green dress and the old woman with the lantern, and walked around the courtyard a few more times, and entered a small courtyard full of bamboo, in which there were two chic houses, which were lit with faint candles.
Hearing the footsteps outside, the door immediately opened, and two little maids came out, saluting He Changying in unison.
