Xu Naizhao, accompanied by Yang Yunxiang, commander of the Guangdong Navy Division stationed in Wusongkou, left the "Seabird" on board.

The "Seabird" is hung with colorful buntings, and the deck is bustling with many VIPs. The guests held glasses of strong and red French red wine, or smiled heartily to greet Angel's capable hostess who approached, or gathered three or five friends together to talk and laugh.

As a Chinese businessman, Angel was the first to purchase a brand new American freighter, which is a major event worth celebrating in any case. The lively scene and atmosphere made everyone forget their own hardships for a while, and the war in Shanghai brought a lot of inconvenience to everyone. It also overwhelmed the cool breeze blowing slowly on the Huangpu River.

"Your Excellency Consul, the French Concession is close to Shanghai City, and the Concession has already organized a so-called escort group, and you are still presiding over this matter, but why can you still let some bandits in the city enter and exit with weapons?" Xu Naizhao was dissatisfied when he saw Kim Nengheng and said, "This official deeply regrets this, which is completely contrary to the neutral position of various countries. ”

"Will there be such a thing?" Jin Nengheng shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "Each country has its own situation, and sometimes it is difficult for contemptible people to ask. In order to blockade the army in the city, your government wantonly burned and demolished people's houses in the north and east of the city, causing a large number of innocent people to lose their homes and rush into the concession, bringing us many public security problems. Your Excellency, this is a very inhumane act. Sometimes in order to defend themselves, ordinary people will also hold weapons in their hands, who is a soldier from the city or a law-abiding citizen, hehe, the appearance is the same, it is difficult for us to distinguish clearly at one time. He smiled at the governor in front of him, revealing his scars.

Xu Naizhao's face was a little ugly, "But the concession is very clear about the soldier's bravery. ”

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency," Kim Nengheng tilted his head, "The concession is a neutral area, and no military can intervene, otherwise it will affect the safety of the expatriate, this is our principle." In addition, on behalf of the Concession Coordination Committee, I would like to solemnly inform Your Excellency that secret activities with political overtones are not allowed in the Concession, and both those in the city and your subordinates must face up to this point. ”

Xu Naizhao opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but was politely stopped by Jin Nengheng, "Your Excellency, as a neutral country, it is actually very difficult for us to do it. You also know that your Wu Daotai was rescued by the army in the city because of the contemptible plan, and for this, we have also been under great pressure from the city and the people. It is regrettable that instead of repaying us, you have carried out clandestine activities in the concession and detained and abused our parishioners and expatriates without authorization. In the words of you, China, this is called revenge, and this is a blatant contempt and provocation against our American government. "Kim Nenghyung is actually playing on the topic.

Xu Naizhao was stunned, abusing expatriates? I haven't heard of anything like this happening recently.

Looking at the bewildered governor, Jin Nengheng felt a little proud in his heart, and pointed at Sangyu, who was full of spring breeze on his face, accompanied by Fang Jingbo, "Your Excellency, just ask Mister Sang and you will know." Mistersan is not only a true friend of your government, but also an American diaspora, but your men do not think so. ”

Xu Naizhao looked at Sang Yu inexplicably, "Mrs. Sang, what happened?" ”

"Oh, the consul is just talking fast, it's all in the past, what do you do with it." Sang Yu looked at Jin Nengheng and was disgusted, and then touched the wine glass with Xu Naizhao, "Alas, Wu Daotai really suspects that our Angel is a spy of the rebels in the city, arrested the little woman's maid, and tortured her indiscriminately to force her to admit this qiē. Fortunately, the consul came forward, otherwise, alas, I would not have said anything. This is also good, after entertaining the guests who came to celebrate, the little woman will sell all these weapons to the adults, and save others from chewing their tongues. ”

"Let's see, if Mistersan will support your army more." Kim Nenghyung took a sip of wine and smiled.

"Say it early, say it early," Xu Naizhao looked around, and found no shadow of Wu Jianzhang in the crowd, "This Wu Jianzhang, I just can't tell the difference between good and bad, and I will definitely reprimand him next time I see him." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency's officials can't help but say that they can't be officials." Fang Jingbo shook his head and said lightly, "Angel Commercial Bank is currently the best among Chinese businessmen in Shanghai, Wu Daotai doesn't support it, but he wants to pick bones in eggs, and the government's taxes don't know where he wants them from?" ”

When it came to money, Xu Naizhao became even more angry. The garrisons around Shanghai originally had to rely on the silver taels from Wu Jianzhang's Daotai Treasury to support, but at the moment, it was good, and it was simply nothing. Want to buy guns? If it weren't for Sang Yu's promise to donate generously, I don't know where the money would come from. He gritted his teeth, and when he went back, he wanted to give the Holy Lord a fold immediately, please dial the silver taels, and he also tried his best to impeach this Wu Jianzhang.

Sang Yu took Xu Naizhao's arm, who was thinking about it, "My lord, let's go and see the layout of the little woman's boat first, Consul Jin is really a capable person, and he makes a 'Seabird' beautiful." As he spoke, he looked at Yang Yunxiang who was following Xu Naizhao, "Lord Yang will go to the captain to supervise and drive the boat out for a while, so that everyone can be fresh." My sailors are all new, hehe, I don't know the way. ”

"This ......," Yang Yunxiang hesitated. He looked at the dozens of guests on the deck who were walking towards the cabin one after another, and then at Xu Naizhao.

Xu Naizhao, who was thanking Jin Nengheng and Sang Yu for their great help, didn't think about it, and shook his head at Yang Yunxiang, "It's time to sail for the last section, this can be regarded as a maiden voyage, it's a lively picture." ”

It's a civilian ship after all, and there will be no accidents. Yang Yunxiang came to the side of the ship first, signaled his boat to follow the "Seabird", and then strode into the wheelhouse.

The Seabird sailed away from the dock in the wind and waves.

After visiting the various cabins on the ship, Jin Nengheng led Xu Naizhao, Sang Yu, and Fang Jingbo into the rather luxurious captain's room, and the two black servants refilled each of them with a glass of wine, and then took a few steps back and stood against the door.

It was the first time for Xu Naizhao to take this kind of steamer, and he felt that it seemed to be smoother and brisker than the gunboats in Yang Yunxiang's army. He put his glass aside, he was not used to the way foreigners drank wine. Then, he began to negotiate with Sang Yu and Kim Neng-hyung about the payment of future arms.

Chatting and chatting, Xu Naizhao heard a noise coming from the hatch. He looked at Sang Yu.

Sang Yu obviously also heard the sound outside, and stood up strangely, wanting to go out to see what was going on. As soon as he took two steps, the two black servants at the door of the cabin politely raised their hands, "Madam, please return to your seats, and gentlemen, please sit quietly in your place, otherwise everyone will be in trouble." ”

"What, nasty billet, who are you talking to?" Kim Nenghyung jumped to his feet, pointing at the two servants and shouting loudly.

The black servant was expressionless and stood with his hands behind his back.

Xu Naizhao didn't know what they were talking about, but when he saw Jin Nengheng's annoyed and angry appearance, he felt that something bad was wrong. He looked at Sang Yu, who was standing there with a blank face, coughed lightly, and took two steps forward, "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, and it is not a good thing to make trouble." Today is a day of great joy, and if you have any special requests, please put them forward, Lord Ben ...... "He knew very well that the two black men in front of him were the lowest untouchables in the United States. However, it was the next actions of these two "untouchables" that interrupted his next words. He clearly saw two short guns sticking out from the opposite side.

"Go back, don't trouble yourself!" A black servant waved his gun in a resolute tone.

"Be careful, sir!" As if she had just understood, Sang Yu stood in front of Xu Naizhao and looked at the two servants in front of her angrily, "If there is anything coming towards me, don't hurt the governor and the consul." ”

As she spoke, she protected Xu Naizhao back to her seat, and shook her head at Jin Nengheng, "Lord Consul, don't be angry, sit down first, and I'll talk to them." ”

"Friend, it was Madame Sang who rescued you with money and made you free people, what words can you say to sit down and talk, why do you take such drastic measures?"

"I repeat one last time, please sit quietly." The black man at the head still didn't have any expression, "Once the person is lying on the ground, it will be too late." I'm not trying to scare you! ”
