Li Zhen, Mu Zhongyuan, Huan Xiaowolf, and Bennett left Hong Kong and entered the border of Guangdong, and after walking for less than an hour, an army came up to meet them. This army was led by Qi Zhenhai, and Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng were impressively listed. Li Zhen followed Mu Zhongyuan and others to Hong Kong, and Qi Zhenhai asked all the soldiers to be ready to go.

As long as Li Zhen had any abnormalities in Hong Kong, he would immediately lead troops into Hong Kong to save people. Fortunately, everything went well, and Li Zhen returned safely. Qi Zhenhai wore a military uniform, ran to Li Zhen, raised his hand to salute, and said loudly: "President! ”

He had a smile on his face, and his excitement was palpable.

"Great President!"

"Great President!"

Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng also ran quickly and saluted one by one.

Many of the doctors who accompanied him knew Li Zhen, but only a few doctors and his entourage who did not know Li Zhen were surprised. But none of the more astonished people was Bennett. He stared at Li Zhen in a daze, his face changed, one moment was surprised, one moment was excited, and one moment was annoyed, all of which were the embodiment of the emotions in his heart.

Bennett's brows furrowed, unable to understand why Li Zhen pretended to be a doctor to go to Hong Kong, and asked, "Dr. Li, you are actually the president of China, why do you want to go to Hong Kong pretending to be a doctor?" ”

Li Zhen smiled and said, "I went to Hong Kong to see Dr. Nebet!" ”

Bennett smiled slightly, knowing that this was Li Zhen's words to change the topic, but he still said happily: "I should be the first person to bet with President Lee, and it is an honor to be invited by President Lee." ”

The group paused for a moment, then continued on their way.

In mid-April, the team returned to Guangzhou. The army was settled, and all the doctors returned to the hospital. Bennett is a doctor invited back by Li Zhen, with superb medical skills and strong theoretical skills. In addition, the director of the hospital, Bo Jia, also knew Bennett's ability, so he directly arranged an important position to make Bennett the main physician of the hospital.

Governor's Residence, Study.

Li Zhen and Governor Wang Xiaoyang sat opposite each other, both of them looking serious.

Li Zhen said solemnly: "This trip to Hong Kong, on the whole, has gained a lot. The people of Hong Kong did not reject us because the Manchu government did not care whether they lived or died, but still turned their hearts to us. The matter of recovering Hong Kong must be completed in the shortest possible time. Brother-in-law, I will leave this matter to you, and immediately form a negotiating team and summon the British Minister to China to discuss the matter of recovering Hong Kong. ”

"Good!" Wang Xiaoyang nodded and replied.

After a pause, Wang Xiaoyang continued: "President, it has been half a month since the French envoy arrived in Guangzhou. He wants to see you lest he settle the problem of Captain Arkidd, Christine, and the rest of the captured French soldiers. Because you went to Hong Kong, I excused you from something and asked him to wait. Now half a month has passed, and it is estimated that the French envoy Rankfurt is about to get impatient. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "In this case, let's see you." ”

Immediately, Wang Xiaoyang got up to make arrangements.

Half an hour later, the parlor.

Li Zhen sat on the main seat, and below him sat the French minister.

The French envoy Rankfort looked sincere and said patiently: "President Lee, Akid, Christine, and thousands of soldiers have been detained by your country. By now, it has been more than a month. The purpose of my visit is to ask President Lee to release everyone. ”

Li Zhen sneered and said, "Your Excellency Rankfort, do you know what crime they have committed? ”

Rankford frowned, his expression solemn.

Speaking of which, it was really Akid and Christine who brought it on themselves. If it weren't for Akid and Rankfurt taking the initiative to lead troops to attack Li Zhen's fleet, there would be no situation today. Thinking that he couldn't raise his head in front of Li Zhen, Rankfort kept complaining in his heart, and said in his heart, what do you do if you don't have the ability to intercept and kill Li Zhen?

When this happens, the consequences are quite serious.

France and China are also at a disadvantage in their negotiations.

Li Zhen knew that Rankfort was at a loss, and continued: "Captain Arkidd and Christine led the army to intercept and kill me, and if it weren't for the protection of my soldiers, they would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Now, Lord Frankfurt has swaggered in and asked me to release all the people, is that reasonable? Could it be that I, Li Zhen, should have been killed. ”

"No, that's not what it means."

Rankfort hurriedly waved his hand and said, "As long as President Lee releases all the soldiers, everything will be easy to say." ”

"Oh, that's pretty much it!"

The anger on Li Zhen's face decreased slightly, and his tense face had a hint of harmony.

Frankfurt took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Regarding this matter, France is willing to compensate." ”

"How to compensate?" Li Zhen immediately asked.

"Report!"

A loud voice came, and a guard from the governor's mansion strode in, saluted Li Zhen, and reported: "President, there is a Frenchman outside, and he has an urgent matter to see the French envoy Frankfurt." ”

Li Zhen frowned and said, "Please!" ”

It has already been reported to him, and it is impossible not to see it.

After a short time, a Frenchman came in and whispered to Rankfurt's side. In an instant, Rankefurt's face changed. A flash of joy flashed in Rankford's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

After listening to this, Rankfurt stood up and said, "President Li, the embassy has urgent matters that I need to deal with, please forgive me." He bowed slightly to Li Zhen in apology, then turned and left the governor's residence. Li Zhen looked at the departing person, his face gloomy, and his eyes flashed with thunderous anger. He began to discuss the matter of reparations with Rankfurt, and with a little more time, he could settle the matter.

At a critical time, because of the sudden news, it was all messed up. After Wang Xiaoyang learned that Rankfurt was leaving, he walked in and asked, "President, how is the situation?" ”

"Smack!!"

Li Zhen slapped the desk on the desk, startling Wang Xiaoyang.

"I spoke to Frankfurt and the issue of compensation was already touched. At a critical moment, you, the guard of the governor's residence, rushed in to report that someone wanted to see Rankfort. Then Rankfurt listened to the French and left directly. Tell me, what are the guards in the house for? Don't you know the importance of the matter at this time? ”

Li Zhen was furious and scolded loudly: "If you say that you give news to your own people, it is not reasonable, but it is unreasonable for a guard to deliver news to Rankfort without passing it through." ”

Li Zhen was about to get the price of compensation, but Lankfurt left suddenly.

For this reason, Li Zhen was very uncomfortable.

Wang Xiaoyang said: "This is my majesty's helplessness, please punish the president." ”

Li Zhen snorted, waved his hand and said, "Go and deal with the affairs of the house, don't have such problems again." ”

Wang Xiaoyang should go down and immediately deal with what happened just now. This matter was left by Wang Xiaoyang, and he was not comfortable, and he didn't know which of the guards who didn't open his eyes reported the news.

Waiting for Wang Xiaoyang to leave, Li Zhen's thoughts flew to the reason why Rankford left just now. What had happened that Frankfurt's eyes flashed with joy and he hurried away? It was even strange that Rankfort did not think about the thousands of soldiers who had been captured and Akid, Christine, and others.
