There is the Mutang Li family, and it seems that order has been completely restored. It's already the same quiet and neat appearance. Everywhere there are people rushing to and fro in the courtyard, preparing ancestral hall signs, archways, green shelves, and color paintings. They are all preparing everything in the Nanyang Sect Hall.

Originally, it was only in Surabaya that it was a place to go through the turmoil, and it was absolutely impossible to hold such a general meeting to provoke the colonial authorities and the local natives. But this time, because Xu Yifan, the Qin Mission, was sitting here, these Chinese people who were protected by him held all this with a kind of fanaticism that didn't care about it. It turns out that the Chinese society is not so closely connected, and this kind of Nanyang Sect Association is still a regional surname. For example, the General Association of the Javanese Nanyang Sect is the four families of Li, Chen, Huang and Zheng. But this time, it is different, these words, there are representatives of the Chinese Nanyang Sect, and they continue to come over!

These big Nanyang clans scattered all over Nanyang, there are more or less people who come. They all carried a large amount of promissory notes, and their intention was nothing more than to support and cheer up the Chinese community in Surabaya, and by the way, take a look at Xu Yifan Xu, who has also become a legend in Nanyang.

This time in the Li family, it was not Li Daren, the son of the Li family, who was holding all this, but Li Daxiong, who had never been brought to see much. Everyone found that this man who did not wear a cross was carrying a Siddick, turning east and west, directing everything with a straight face, as if he was a new old man Li.

How can there be a big change, and the salted fish of thousands of years have also turned over?

It's not just this that has changed, such as the two men and women of the Li family. The treatment is completely different, Li Xing is better. Li Xuanke was completely embarrassed, and the senior old mother and maid who were called over to serve her were just fighting. She was recuperating from her injuries, and there were seven or eight people around her who were constantly serving her 24 hours a day. Serving tea, serving the injured, serving Miss Li's pastime...... There is no shortage of people. In both Chinese medicine and Western medicine, there are three or four people waiting to diagnose Li Xuan's injuries at any time.

In the past, Li Xuan didn't look glamorous, but he had no status at all in the big family of the Li family. This kind of two-haired mixed-race little girl, some old mothers with a higher status dare to pout at her. That's why Li Xuan has developed the habit of always running away and mixing with his brother.

Leave it now, who dares to give Miss Li a little look at it?

Li Xuan's injuries are honest, not serious. Miss Li stabbed herself in the chest, she obviously had not studied human anatomy, and in the chaos at that time, countless hands reached out towards her. A knife slid through his chest, only to be blocked by his own ribs. There was indeed a lot of bleeding, but it happened to hit Xu Yifan, and the cuckoo bandaging technique was absolutely first-class at that time, and the blood loss was controlled. After a delay at home for more than ten days, it was almost good, and it was almost closed. Every day she lay there, she saw that the weather around her was completely different. The maids and old mothers who served her looked at her with an expression of admiration and gratitude from the bottom of their hearts, gathered together behind their backs, and whispered and discussed. Let her stay in the room again sullen and puzzled.

What's going on!

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

There was a knock on the door, and a little maid pushed the door in. I saw Li Xuan leaning in front of the shutter window sill, looking at the green floating outside, the incense burner made of the best agarwood in Nanyang on the window sill, and the incense was burning inside.

She leaned against the snow-white sheets, her fingers curling her chestnut hair, biting her lip in a daze. Sunlight poured in through the window, making her snow-white skin seem transparent.

The maid secretly took a breath and admired in her heart: "Our Miss Li family is really beautiful as if it came out of a painting......"

The maid gently put down the teacup in her hand, and inside was a good Nanyang coffee called Fu Dieda. This coffee is still growing on the tree, and a kind of bobcat with a sachet in its stomach swallows the coffee beans and excretes them. This coffee bean is picked up by the natives, and it has a natural fantasy aroma. The price of a coffee bean can exceed the same weight of gold. Li Xuan put it in the past, and she didn't even want to smell the smell of this coffee, but now she is simply drinking it as water.

I don't know if the sound of picking up the coffee or this fantastic aroma alarmed Li Xuan and Miss Li. She turned her head slightly, looked at the maid, and looked at her intently. The sparkle in his eyes couldn't stop, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The little maid curtsied, turned around and wanted to leave. But I heard Li Xuan say in a low voice: "Stand!" ”

The little maid stood still in a daze, and saw Li Xuan tilting her head to look at her: "Yes, it's you, I watched you secretly talk to your mother behind your back the most!" Stand and don't go! What's going on? When did I become the treasure of the Li family? ”

The little maid was so frightened that Li Xuan didn't dare to move, and she didn't know what to say. She just bowed her head in embarrassment: "Miss, we really don't know anything, these are all arranged by the master." We really don't know anything......"

Li Xuan lifted the blanket spread on his chest and made a gesture to sit up, so frightened that the little maid hurriedly ran over and supported Li Xuan's body.

"Miss, don't embarrass me, if you come down and hurt somewhere? I'm going to kill ......"

Li Xuan snorted: "We don't have the habit of killing people in our family...... I don't want to know what the master arranged, I just want to know what you are talking about behind your back! You didn't look at me before, why are you just treating me like an old lady now? ”

Seeing that the little maid just lowered her head, Li Xuan snorted heavily: "I pulled the gauze on the wound...... I pulled the gauze from the wound......"

The little maid knelt down with an ordinary sound, almost making Li Xuan cry. Li Xuan is going to pull the gauze, as long as she bleeds a little, then she really can't live. I was helpless, so I could only lower my head and mumble an explanation: "Miss, we owe it, we shouldn't talk about it...... What we heard was also a rumor, and they all said that this time Lord Xu saved us Chinese, and they all took a fancy to Miss. Because the young lady was injured, Xu Daren was angry at the crown and ordered the bombardment of Surabaya. Lord Xu is now the minister of the mother country on an equal footing with foreigners, and our Li family has to get close to Lord Xu in order not to suffer such a thing again. So they all say...... All said...... said that Lord Xu and the old lady are courting, and the old lady may have a family affair, and Lord Xu will become the son-in-law of our Li family......"

With a bang, Li Xuan's head hit the railing of the bed, and then he jumped off holding his head: "My mother doesn't marry!" ”

She was so angry that she burst into tears: "What Lord Xu? When you don't need our room, you can use us as grass. Now it's time to slap someone else, so you can treat us as treasures. I still want to have a good relationship! Tell the guy surnamed Xu, and the grandfather in the family, if you want to marry me, come and chase me first! ”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Tianjin, Beiyang Minister Yamen.

With the sound of three cannon lifts, the sound of a ticking brass horn also sounded. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Hongzhang sent people out with a smile on his face.

is worthy of Li Hongzhang's gift, and is naturally not an ordinary person. A group of foreigners were dressed in dresses with stiff collars standing high. talked and laughed and followed Li Hongzhang out. When they arrived at the door, they all bowed goodbye to Li Hongzhang, some of whom had good friendships, and even held hands. When the foreigners left, Li Hongzhang's face suddenly sank, as if he had hung a layer of frost. The straight back couldn't help but slump down a little at this time, but he was contemplative and shook his head slightly.

From the ear room, Yang Shixiang quietly walked over and whispered in Li Hongzhang's ear: "Zhongtang, what does this country mean?" ”

Li Hongzhang turned around as soon as he turned around, strode back towards the signing room, and spoke in a low and deep voice: "That Xu Yifan's blessing is God-granted, and this time he has passed the test again!" ”

Yang Shixiang looked incredulous: "Don't foreigners care?" England, France, those countries, do they all care? ”

Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly: "No matter!" The cannon bombarded, but it was polite to the foreigners? They all said that waiting and waiting for the results of our negotiations, it is reasonable to protect overseas Chinese......"

Yang Shixiang sighed: "This time it is considered to have the imperial court dig up the corner of our Beiyang wall!" ”

The two looked at each other, and they both smiled wryly.

This time, Xu Yifan made a big splash, and Beiyang was really scared. After all, the two warships of the Beiyang Navy Division really bombarded Surabaya City! Ding Ruchang's telegram of pleading guilty arrived at the Beiyang Yamen that night. Li Hongzhang also dropped the cup.

At that time, the high-level of Beiyang had a secret meeting overnight. all think that the best thing at this time is to pretend to be confused, Xu Yifan must be unlucky. And Beiyang is afraid that he will have to push a few unlucky ghosts out, anyway, try to clean up this matter. Let's see what opinions the imperial court has come out, and the idea of trying to solicit Xu Yifan at the beginning has already been thrown away at this time.

As a result, things changed dizzily, and the government and the opposition Qingliu began to shout in unison, fully supporting Xu Yifan's actions. There is a very strange phenomenon in the Qing season, although it is absolutely centralized, but the power of the clear stream is also very large. Otherwise, how can you be in a position to compete with the real power governor and the banner people?

Just the clear stream is not a big problem. In Beiyang's view, no matter how strong it is, it can't be stronger than foreigners. It's just that Xu Yifan's wicked people will be punished in the end, and who will do it in the end. Up and down Beiyang, the decision at that time was to pretend to be stupid, and Li Hongzhang pretended to be sick. Don't express any opinions, anyway, Xu Yifan is not under their control.

But what Li Hongzhang and the others never expected was that this time the imperial court didn't know why, and went crazy with Xu Yifan, and actually promoted Xu Yifan from the member of the Qincha to the minister of the Qincha! From the Taoist platform, he was promoted to the political envoy domain. The promotion in the past few months has been shocking!

They don't want to care about the affairs of Surabaya, but they are very sensitive to the thoughts of the court and their political sense. Yang Shixiang clapped his hands at that time and decided that this was the beginning of the imperial court's support for Xu Yifan! Although Xu Yifan did something bold, this decision to kill, the knowledge he once wrote and said, and the ability to win over the Beiyang Naval Division to release the warships in a short period of time. The important thing is that he is not a private person who supervises anywhere, and he can be regarded as a capable member of heaven's grace. The location is in the land of Kifu, and the imperial court wants to use him to divide the power of Beiyang!

When it comes to power struggles, any warmth no longer exists. The love between Xu Yifan and Beiyang has long since disappeared. The whole Beiyang immediately began to care about the outcome of this negotiation. For them, the only important thing is to see what the attitude of the foreigners is. In these words, Li Hongzhang was busy receiving foreigner friends stationed in Beiyang Tianjin, and probing their tone, but the result so far is only disappointed.

Xu Yifan seems to be going to pass the test again! When he returns to Beiyang with the world-shaking prestige, he will no longer be an idle platform under the fence and the center of the court will not pay attention to it. If the soldiers practice again, will they be able to pay it back? The land of the North Ocean has long been intertwined with the Huai system. Let an outsider divide power, even if Li Hongzhang has a bit of prime minister strength (Li Hongzhang is a co-organizer of the university scholar, Qing Dynasty, military aircraft and university scholar, and is regarded as the prime minister). It is absolutely impossible for this interest group that has been formed a long time ago to agree!

The two sat down in the signing room, and the patrol officer wanted to bring tea in, and blasted Li Hongzhang out. The two sat down, their faces heavy.

"Zhongtang, this ......"

"Lianfang, what are your regulations?"

Yang Shixiang's eyes were deeply damaged, and it seemed that these words were used very deeply. After pondering for a long time, he smiled bitterly: "This time, Xu Yifan can't be suppressed, I think we have only one way......"

"What's the method?" Li Hongzhang knocked on the table and asked.

"Draw wages from the bottom of the kettle!"

"But how do you smoke it?"

Yang Shixiang said in a deep voice: "Push him out of the Beiyang!" ”

Li Hongzhang sneered: "The governor of the world, who is willing to accept such a two-hundred-and-a-half into their territory now?" Besides, he's training the Praetorian Guard! The Praetorian Guards are not in the land of Kifuke, where else can they be? ”

Yang Shixiang also sneered: "Kifu is not only in Beiyang, there is also a ready-made place...... That's the North Korea that Yuan Weiting is in charge of now! The country of North Korea is guarding the gate of our Beiyang. The land of water and land rushing is also guarding the land of the country's dragon prosperity...... My lord, think about it, this is not the place of Kisuke? ”

Li Hongzhang touched his beard, his eyes rolled, but he didn't speak.

Yang Shixiang followed his train of thought and continued to say: "In this place of North Korea, several forces are mixed in one place. The most difficult thing to do, and it is a vassal country. See what Xu Yifan can toss into. Moreover, North Korea is originally a hot potato in Beiyang's hands, and it is nothing to hand it over. He tossed it well, we have an extra barrier in Beiyang, and if it is broken, it has nothing to do with us. The subordinates think about it, this is the best way, let these two hundred and five go to North Korea to make trouble! ”

Li Hongzhang just groaned: "The bottom of the kettle is drawn...... Draw from the bottom of the kettle...... It's just that Xu Yifan is willing to go to North Korea? He's stunned, but he's not stupid! ”

Yang Shixiang smiled: "We have something for him, Yuan Weiting's sixth battalion celebration army." Since Wu Changqing passed away, these six battalions could have been dispersed according to the rules. But Zhongtang Ende asked Yuan Weiting to take over the six battalions. Let's just give it to Xu Yifan. He trained the Praetorian Guard, and there were only dozens of cadets under his hands. If you want to practice it from scratch, when will you go? Give him 3,000 cavalry at once, this is a great gift! I think Xu Yifan is sixty percent likely to fall into this trap...... Let's grit our teeth again and promise to supply him with 3,000 people, Zhongtang, do you think he will go to North Korea? ”

Li Hongzhang couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile at Yang Shixiang: "Lotus Fang, Lotus Fang, your mind is not just to push Xu Yifan out, right?" ”

Yang Shixiang smiled as if he had met the Ming Lord: "Zhongtang clearly sees that these six battalions of Qingjun are our Huai Department." Yuan Weiting was also a member of the Korean Trade Commission, and he was deprived of his military power, but he was not relieved of his title as a trade commissioner. Yuan Weiting and these Qingjun are kindly married, and if they are placed in North Korea, can they still make trouble with Xu Yifan? plus the relationship between the top and bottom of North Korea and Yuan Weiting. Don't look at Xu Yifan, there are 3,000 people, but he is a Praetorian Guard, I'm afraid that he won't be able to train it in three years! The situation there was already tense, and he couldn't train the troops, so he could be buried with a random excuse. In the Wuzhi Mountain in the middle hall, Xu Yifan is a monkey, where else can he go? ”

Li Hongzhang looked at Yang Shixiang, endured and endured, and finally had a good time. Slapped the table: "Done!" Today, I will do an excerpt, please transfer Xu Yifan to North Korea for military training, and promise to send six battalions of Qingjun to him! Send a private message to Xu Yifan again, and pat this two-hundred-and-five-year-old sycophant...... Lianfang, do you think this can be done? ”

Yang Shixiang slapped his face, looking comfortable: "Zhongtang sees thousands of miles!" ”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The night is deep and the sea breeze is floating.

In the Qingguo Consulate in Surabaya, Xu Yifan's bedroom door rang, but it was Tang Shaoyi who walked out. Xu Yifan took a step and just patted him on the shoulder.

Tang Shaoyi smiled: "Lord Xu, stay and stay." I'm delaying the rest time for adults today. The foreigners have also loosened up in the past few days, and I think they will be able to finish work within half a month. As for how many things we have done in the yamen that we have stayed in Tianjin, we can't say it for a while. ”

Xu Yifan just smiled: "Shaochuan, don't work too hard, fight with foreigners during the day, and deal with the affairs of the yamen thousands of miles away at night, and then write me a note Chen, do you want to rest or not?" These are also not in a hurry, it is Zhan Daren, you urge him again. I was in Surabaya for so many days, and he didn't send a telegram. He's my right-hand man, too! ”

Tang Shaoyi still maintained an impeccable smile, and now he regarded himself as Xu Yifan's first henchman. I really don't understand how Xu Yifan values Zhan Tianyou, a nerd.

didn't say much at the moment, just bowed to Xu Yifan and went downstairs in a dashing manner. ran into a student soldier on duty at the staircase, and nodded with a smile. These apprentices who have been born and died with Xu Yifan are all the henchmen of Xu Yifan's group in the future, so they can't be too arrogant.

When Tang Shaoyi went downstairs, Xu Yifan, who was guarding the door, glanced around. Booed twice at the staircase, the student turned his head, Xu Yifan gestured hard at him, and asked him to go down the stairs and guard. The soldier touched his head and slowly walked down the stairs. I didn't understand what Lord Xu wanted to do.

When Xuebing went downstairs, he saw Xu Yifan quietly walking towards the room at the end of the corridor. The appearance of tiptoeing, no majesty, no wonder I have to want my subordinates to see.

If anyone can look at Lord Xu's current appearance, they can only use the words obscene and Yindang to describe it.

I've been holding back long enough! The cuckoo has always been by her side, after all, there is a little less freshness. Chen Luoshi arrived in Surabaya, and the green and moving girl** made Xu Yifan simply horny. And Chen Luoshi is also more open than Du Juan's attitude, and when he was in Yanjing before, he would secretly cater to Xu Yifan's lightness.

Thinking about how to toss this dazzling tall girl on the bed, Xu Yifan suddenly became as hard as something.

I was about to touch the door of the cuckoo's room, and I was ready to breathe a sigh of relief. I heard a knock on the door, and the cuckoo appeared at the door with his mouth pouted, dressed in a moon-white robe. Just stared at Xu Yifan. The opening was sour: "Master, where are you going?" ”

Xu Yifan froze suddenly, this cuckoo...... Originally, when he was in Yanjing, Du Juan had to bow his head in front of Chen Luoshi and follow him from birth to death. This time Chen Luoshi came over, and Du Juan's attitude obviously felt a head higher. Xu Yifan was a little affectionate to Chen Luoshi, so he just turned around sourly. After all, Xu Yifan hadn't budded for her first.

looked at the cuckoo standing there pretty, and deliberately held her amazingly full breasts. Xu Yifan's voice that wanted to explain choked in his throat...... Forget it, since you have found it, it is the same to touch the door of the cuckoo first. Anyway, they are all their own concubines, and it's not the same for Lao Tzu to go to any one......

Just as I was about to turn around and change my goal. Chen Luoshi's door also rang, and when the door opened, he saw Chen Luoshi's dazzling long legs, not wearing socks, and the exposed skin seemed to exude the charm of a girl. This tall little beauty also wore her hair down, hanging down on her chest, wearing only a middle coat, and she looked like she had been ready to wait for her luck.

She looked at the cuckoo angrily, and the cuckoo looked at her without showing weakness. The eyes of the two girls fought in the air, and there seemed to be sparks flying. The battle for the concubine is starting now.

"Cuckoo, I'm going to come to my house, can't you wait for next time? But I met my lord first! ”

"Have you followed your master to Surabaya desperately? As soon as he came over, he circled around the master and rubbed against the master. I'm not blind! ”

Xu Yifan stretched out a hand to stop their argument. The blessing of Qi people, who said that it is easy to enjoy? Sooner or later, you'll have to set up a house rule for your house. But at this time, he could only roar angrily: "Don't fight, aren't you still a good sister in Yanjing?" If you make trouble for a day, I won't enter your door for a day! ”

"Master, then ...... you" The two little girls asked in unison with innocent faces.

"Lao Tzu went back to the house to handjob!"

(To be continued)
