Chapter 304: Heavenly Punishment (II)

In the Luanyi Palace, the sages are all over the place, and the clothes are gathered. In addition to the ministers www.biquge.info of various countries, King Qing, Zhang Tong, and Zhao Guanhou were all invited. In order not to lose diplomatic etiquette, Zhang Tong forcibly attended with a tired body, and when he arrived at the place, he was already tired and out of breath, so he could only sit aside to breathe and rest.

King Qing is in good health, but his foreign language is not good, and he can't talk to ministers from various countries without Zhao Guanhou's translation. Weng and his son-in-law were both emotionally embarrassed, until they caught a vacancy, King Qing whispered: "Take good care of Lao Shi, she has a child, this child can no longer be saved, it will hurt the vitality, and I will skin you when the time comes." ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, son-in-law is measured."

At this moment, Yasuya Uchida had already come over with his assistant, who was in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, with a good appearance and a dashing demeanor. He is polite to King Qing and Zhao Guanhou, and there is no arrogance. Sai Jinhua came to greet him, and he also warmly returned the gift and gave him his own gift.

Waldsey made a routine speech to celebrate Uchida's arrival, followed by a ball. Although Zhao Guanhou was the general of the defeated army, he cooperated with Luo Li during this time and gave Luo Li a few antiques, plus a sum of money. Luo Li waved the flag and shouted for him, and made a lot of publicity, although the Jin State was defeated, Zhao Guanhou's reputation increased, and he was extremely famous in the concession. Many Western ladies were very interested in him, and sent invitations to dance with this oriental knight at the ball.

After Yasuya Uchida danced a song with Sai Jinhua, he came to Zhang Tong's side, "Your Excellency Ito, I asked me to take it for you." I heard that Lao Zhongtang was in poor health, so I specially brought a doctor from Fusang this time and asked him to check your health. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Uchida, for your kindness. In the past, when Zeng Zhenghou was seriously ill, he asked Western medicine for diagnosis, and the result was a whimper. There is a sentence in Yu Quyuan's Taishi's elegiac couplet: 'Believe in Western medicine should not be used.' 'The difference between Chinese and Western physiques, Zeng Houzhixue, is not the fault of Western medicine, but the body of the Chinese people is not suitable for Western medicine. Your envoy's kindness, the old man's heart, I really dare not accept it. ”

Uchida smiled and said, "Zhongtang, in the past, you once said that Chinese style is used in the West, and you have always used it as a guide. Now that your body is so weak, do you still want to talk about the difference between Chinese and Western physiques? I think that regardless of Chinese or Western, as long as it is good, we should use it. If you want to make progress, you can't hold on to the defects, but you should learn the essence and get rid of the dross, and the weak things must be discarded, and everything about the strong is worth learning. ”

"Your words are bad, my Jin people have their own illness here, and Western medicine has no way to diagnose it. Your country does not have its own medical skills, either using traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, it is always foreign, so it naturally does not matter. But our Chinese medicine has existed for so long, and if you tell me now that you want to abolish all Chinese medicine and go to learn Western medicine, the people of our country will not agree. Therefore, I do not reject Western medicine, but I must maintain my own roots in the Chinese body and Western medicine...... Can't afford to lose. ”

He said so many words in one breath, and there was another violent cough, and Uchida shook his head, "Zhongtang, a seriously ill person, should you seek health first, or should you cling to this path, you are a smart person, you should know in your heart." ”

"No, if you are seriously ill, there is nothing wrong with surviving. But if you find a Western doctor, you may die quickly. The medicine of Western medicine has saved Westerners, but it may not be able to save Chinese, which is caused by different national conditions and different human bodies. I can't force it. ”

"Lao Zhongtang is so stubborn, he has nothing to say in the future, so he can only advise Zhongtang to take care of his body so that he can discuss peace talks. There are still many questions to communicate between us, and we will visit more often. ”

At this time, after Zhao Guanhou and Sai Jinhua danced together, they went to the side to rest, but saw Uchida's assistant walking towards him, he raised his goblet to toast the other party, and the latter raised his glass and touched it. But when he got closer, he whispered: "Mr. Murderer, I'm staring at you." ”

"You...... What do you say? ”

"I'm talking about the facts, murderers. You don't think that what you do is perfect, in this world, there is no perfect crime. As long as you do it, you will definitely leave traces, and I swear, as long as I find the slightest trace, I will pull you out, hang you with my own hands, and avenge Yoko! ”

Zhao Guanhou was surprised at first, but his attitude at this time had changed to a little angry, "Mr. Detective, is this the way your country is detected?" Randomly pointing at a person for murder really makes me hard to believe, the attitude of a detective in a civilized country to the case! Yoko was killed by a patrol, you should know very well, right? If I talk about revenge, I'd rather ask what Fukushima did to my fiancΓ©e that caused her to draw a gun and shoot at him in disheveled clothes. Do we want to go to Minister Uchida and explain this matter? ”

"You can continue acting now, but please remember my name, my name is Masanobu Omura, and it must be me who will send you to the gallows in the future."

After saying this, Omura passed by Zhao Guanhou, and Zhao Guanhou tried to catch him, but several people from the Fuso embassy had already noticed that they were unusually busy and came over to persuade him. Zhao Guanhou looked at Omura with a foolish gaze, "Your Excellency, this matter will not be settled like this, I will protest to Minister Uchida, you wait to go back to the countryside to pick up dung!" On the other side, he found that Lynivich was walking up to Wadsey and pointing at him, presumably saying something about himself.

"What kind of tricks do these Tiele people want to do?" Zhao Guanhou snorted coldly, he didn't think that Wadsey would be unfavorable to him, after all, he still had to make money on his own.

At this time, Counselor Oleg, who negotiated with him for the release of the camp, came over, the previous cooperation between the two was quite pleasant, and they did not feel bad about each other, and after drinking a glass of wine, Oleg whispered: "Your Excellency must already know the news of St. Petersburg. ”

"That's right, so I'm curious why you still have the audacity to show up in front of me."

"Friend, we don't need to act, you are a smart person, you should know very well that the attack on the Aoki Mansion has nothing to do with us. There are some fools in my country, and there are more fools in yours. We don't have to make ourselves them. Of course, you can swing your fist at me just to vent your anger, but I want to remind you that I'm a boxing champion. In fact, Gers is a more suitable target. ”

"Okay, you came over and wanted to tell me something."

"No matter what I say diplomatically, I can tell you that our war with the Fuso people will be inevitable. I'm a counselor, and I'm not in charge of my desperate work. I'm only responsible for the rear work, and I think Zhao is a great partner. So I don't think we're going to be unhappy with each other because of a misunderstanding. ”

Zhao Guanhou remained silent, "If you cooperate, it depends on sincerity, and sincerity depends on the event." For example, now, I'm going to do this. He slammed the wine in his hand at Oleg, who shrugged helplessly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the wine aside.

A foreign woman walked towards Zhao Guanhou with a smile and stretched out her hand, Zhao Guanhou politely held the other party's fingertips, and just when the two of them were just walking to the middle of the palace, there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance. The thunder was not obvious at first, but then it became louder and louder, and the ground under his feet also trembled slightly in the thunder.

Several officers had already understood that this was not a thunder, but an explosion, and the location of the explosion was not far from them. Then, a visitor pointed outside and exclaimed, "Fire! It's on fire! ”

The fire outside the Luanyi Hall was blazing, the palace was already surrounded by flames, and the people who served as commandos basically died in the fight with the guards. The people who served as the supplementary attack team, under the leadership of Ogawa Man, looked at the Luanyi Hall with a fearless face, holding a pistol in their hands, or shaking hands to keep bullets, just waiting for Minister Tiele to escape, and carry out the heavenly punishment. The time has come to avenge the teacher and the commander.

The Luanyi Hall is a wooden structure, and the speed of the fire is extremely fast, and the fire has already burned when you see the fire. The crowd screamed and fled in all directions, each begging for his life. As soon as he saw the fire, Zhao Guanhou rushed over, picked up Zhang Tong on his back, supported King Qing with one hand, and grabbed Sai Jinhua with the other, and hurried out. Sai Jinhua carried her skirt, threw a pair of high heels, and followed Zhao Guanhou's footsteps barefoot. Her little golden lotus suffered a lot at such a time, staggered, and fell to the ground several times.

Although Wadsey was old, he was athletic and wielded the marshal's scepter in his hand. Sheng Huang Zhong and Sai Lianpo, the people who stopped on the road, regardless of men and women, all knocked down with a cane, beat people to the ground, took the lead, and bravely rushed to the forefront. Behind him was the Prussian chief of staff Schwarz.

This man is tall, burly, and has a standard military appearance. He pushed Wadsey out of the door, followed by himself, but as soon as he got outside, gunshots rang out. Three Fuso attackers raised their pistols and fired at him, and the chief of staff collapsed in a pool of blood before he even understood what was going on.

"Attack!"

"There are assassins!"

The screams came again, and King Qing, who had just come outside, hurriedly squatted behind the tree and looked around anxiously, "Foreign soldiers, where are foreign soldiers?" Our people are not allowed to come in, and this foreign soldier cannot see it, who will protect me? ”

Zhang Tong was put down from behind by Zhao Guanhou, and Zhao Guanhou smiled at King Qing, "Father-in-law, don't be afraid, I guess I didn't come at us." You take care of the prime minister, and I'll save some people. After speaking, he turned around and rushed back to the fire, first picked up Sai Jinhua, who fell to the ground, in the way of a princess, and rescued him from the palace, and then rushed back to continue to save people.

In the Luanyi Palace, there was already a mess, and the gentlemen could not all maintain the demeanor of Fei Epharai in the face of death. Women in high heels and dresses were staggered by men, and even stepped on by soldiers in military boots, letting out bursts of painful screams.

Zhao Guanhou helped up the two of them in a row, pushed them outward, the hall was already full of fireworks, he plugged his mouth and nose with a cloth, bowed his head and just rescued, in the hall, the sound of thanks was endless.

Just as she carried a woman weighing more than one hundred and fifty pounds on her body and ran out, an explosion suddenly sounded outside, and the woman screamed in fright, and with the force of her hand, she almost fainted Zhao Guanhoule. He shook his head and said, "Keep a bullet in your hand...... It was a great ......."

Four times in a row, more than a dozen people were rescued, but the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and if I wanted to go back, I couldn't go back. There was a lot of crying in the hall, and it was clear that there were still quite a few people left inside. And the scene outside the main hall was not much better, the Fuso special attack team had launched an all-out attack, and the sound of gunfire and explosions came and went.

King Qing grabbed Zhao Guanhou and said, "Come here, don't rush in again, you are not an immortal, you can't save so many people." If you have a good one yourself, what should you do? ”

Sai Jinhua also said: "I have a personal life, and I don't come today because Mrs. Jenson is not in good health, otherwise you don't know what to do." Get down on your stomach and watch out for bullets."

King Qing said: "These assassins are so bold, Li Nivich was shot, they seem to be coming for the Tiele people." ”

The people who participated in the dance were not armed, and these special attack teams almost pressed this group of people to fight, but fortunately, Yasuya Uchida was in the team, they didn't want to kill them all, and they still had a little sense of proportion in their hands, otherwise I don't know how many people would have to be buried together. The Prussian soldiers had already arrived, and Wadsey commanded his troops with a gloomy face, and carried out a roundup on the special attack team.

The special assault team has limited manpower, and all the guns they carry are short, and their firepower is not comparable to that of the general soldiers' long guns, and they have gradually run out of ammunition, and the casualties are getting bigger and bigger, even if they want to escape, it is not easy. Although their identities have not yet been determined, they can already be identified from their screams as Fuso. The ministers of various countries looked at Yasuya Uchida's gaze, and they were vaguely angry.

While holding his wife, Ge Luogan said, "Mr. Uchida, I am amazed by the way your country has shown its friendliness. Today's matter will not be left at that, and I think you need to give a satisfactory explanation to the ministers. ”

Uchida is a young man, quick thinking, and eloquence, but at this time, Rao has the ability to Su Zhang, and there is no excuse. Seeing that those special attack members shouted heavenly punishment, rushed to this side, and were knocked over by bullets, he only felt bitter and didn't know how to answer.

Minister Gels sneered at this time: "The target of this operation is me and General Linivich. The ministers of various countries were frightened, and we were uneasy. I will certainly report what has happened to His Majesty the Emperor, who will extend his most cordial condolences to all of you. Now, I would like to pray for His Excellency Rinnivich that he will persevere and overcome death. ”

The gunfire gradually stopped, and the special attack team was completely annihilated, and although this attack achieved certain results, the cost was even more severe. The welcome ball broke up unhappily, and among the guests, more than 20 female dependents were killed and wounded, Prussian chief of staff Schwarz was shot and died, and Linivich was shot twice and his injuries were not light. The identity of the perpetrator is easy to confirm, after all, the faces of the Fuso people are easy to recognize, not to mention that some of these people are from the army, and there are people in the coalition army who know them, so they can't be denied at all.

After returning to the legation, Ge Luogan publicly stated to the reporters he interviewed, "Someone asked me which country I support more between Tiele and Fuso, and my answer in the past was to treat them equally." And my answer today is that if I have to make a public statement, I choose to support Jinguo. At least the officials of the Jin Kingdom rescued my wife from the fire. ”

Relatively speaking, Wadsey's wording was much harsher, although Fusang had sent the most troops at present and controlled most of the capital, but Prussia did not take Fusang seriously at all. The Luanyi Hall was burned, and most of the gold, silver, and passbooks obtained by Wadsy during this period were destroyed in the flames, and in a fit of rage, he had already sent several sternly worded notes to Fusang, demanding that Fusang must explain and compensate for this, otherwise Fusang would be responsible for all the consequences.

Albiang, who is an ally and supporter of Fuso, also spoke in a bad tone this time. After all, Sa Daoyi was also at the scene at the time, and the fire almost cost him his life, and he was naturally full of dissatisfaction and hostility towards Fusang. Albiang's wording was also unprecedentedly harsh, demanding that Fuso must give a proper explanation, otherwise it would bear the adverse consequences of diplomacy. (To be continued.) )
