When Le Bray saw someone making trouble in his restaurant, he immediately went up to try to dissuade the two sides, but he never dreamed that he would see a strong British sailor being beaten to the ground by a thin-looking Qing man.

When the other two sailors saw that their companions had been knocked down, they screamed and tried to rush forward, but were stopped by Lebrey: "Damn the British, get out of my restaurant, or I will go to your consulate and sue you." Le Brey still had some eyes, he found that these Qing people were not simple, and he was unwilling to make a fuss, at least not to make a big deal in his own restaurant.

And Rong Lu looked at Li Chong and the woman in dress with interest with both hands on his chest, this woman turned out to be Li Chong's sister? And Li Chong grabbed the woman's fragrant shoulder with an excited face, opened his mouth wide but couldn't say anything. The woman in the dress looked at Li Zhong blankly, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Jonathan struggled to get up, looked at Li Chong angrily, and roared in a low voice: "You damn it, dare to hit me and let you know how powerful I am." With that, he picked up a chair and threw it at Lee.

Rong Lu had been standing beside Li Chong, seeing that his heart was agitated, he was afraid that he would not be able to dodge this blow, so he quickly picked up a wine bottle from the bar of the restaurant and smashed it directly on Jonathan's head.

Lebre was stunned, he thought that if he grabbed the two sailors, this one should not be able to fight, but he didn't expect Jonathan to suddenly attack, and he couldn't stop it, and he couldn't imagine that Rong Lu, who seemed to be polite, would be so ruthless.

Le Bre was stunned, and the two British sailors took the opportunity to evade Le Breet's control. The two sailors roared and rushed towards Rong Lu. The figures of the two of them only moved, and several relatives around Rong Lu rushed forward like cheetahs, and one of them locked his throat with his knees and put a sailor on the ground. Follow another backhand grab, press another sailor to the ground, the movement is as fast as lightning, like flowing water, without hindrance.

Lebre looked at a few people blankly, and sure enough, these Qing people were not easy to mess with. Le Brey had been in Guangzhou for a long time, and he knew that Guangzhou had always been very chaotic in social order, because there were many Chinese and foreigners, the Qing Dynasty government was chaotic, and all kinds of righteous people who resisted foreigners were everywhere. There is no shortage of bandits fishing in troubled waters, doing evil everywhere under the banner of protecting their homeland. These people kidnap for ransom, murder and robbery, it doesn't matter whether they are Chinese or foreigners, there are many martial arts halls in Guangzhou and other places, and many people will protect themselves with one or two martial arts.

The British sailor, who had been put to the ground, struggled to his feet and pulled out a revolver from behind him. He shouted at them, "Damn, you all put your hands up." Don't move. "Because of the nervousness. His hands trembled terribly.

Rong Lu squinted and looked at it, this was really a revolver, but it was still a little rough in appearance, as if it was a half-finished product, but it was definitely a dead shot when it looked like that. It looks like this revolver should be the American Samuel. Colt invented the revolver in 1835, which was fired with a fire cap. The use of a paper cartridge conical warhead with a caliber of 1.16 mm was not much different from the revolvers of later generations.

Lebret was already numb, and he could only pray to God not to have a shootout in his restaurant.

The sailor saw that the room was full of people and did not move for a moment. Thinking that he was afraid of his pistol, he couldn't help but be a little bolder, but at this time, the door of the private room next to the restaurant bar opened, and a hoarse and cold voice said in a standard English London accent: "Enough, sergeant, put your gun away, this is a French restaurant." ”

I saw a foreign man in his forties with a thin face, a slightly pointed chin, and two beards on his lips walking out, dressed as a standard British gentleman. Then a voice behind him said in an unkind tone: "Sir Bao Ling, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, this kind of thing will happen in Weishenme. ”

The one who spoke was a young foreigner in his twenties, he had blonde hair, blue eyes, he looked very handsome, wearing a black tuxedo, and he exuded that strong aristocratic temperament all over his body. He walked up from behind Sir Bao Ling, pointed to a few sailors, and said, "Sir Bao Ling, I am disappointed in your ability to command your subordinates, and I hope you can solve it. My fiancée was actually bullied by British sailors, and it was only with the help of a few Qing people to be protected, I felt ashamed and shocked! ”

When the sailor saw Sir Bao Ling, he immediately stood up and saluted, and put away his pistol, but he looked at the young man with great disdain, who is this kid?

Rong Lu's eyes narrowed, the Governor of England? Now in the Far East, it seems that only the person who serves as the governor of Hong Kong can be called the governor-general, and this person is called Bao Ling, could it be that this person is the fourth governor of Hong Kong, and the minister in China, Sir Bao Ling?

That man was none other than Sir John Palder, the Governor of Hong Kong and Minister Plenipotentiary in China, and since the British had always used the Governor of Hong Kong as their Minister in China, he often traveled between Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Bao Ling's face darkened, and after listening to the accusation of the young man beside him, he didn't argue anything, he just paced to Rong Lu and said in English: "Please forgive my soldiers for their rude behavior, uh, can you let your companion let my soldiers go first?" Bao Ling's vision is still very unique, and he can see at a glance that Rong Lu is the leader of these people.

I saw Rong Lu smile and nodded, and a few relatives behind him stood up casually and let go of the British sailors who were pressing under him. Two British sailors hurriedly went up to help Jonathan, who had fainted, to his feet.

Then Bao Ling looked coldly at the three British sailors and scolded: "Gentlemen, what you have done has disgraced our British Empire, you have to Daoqian to this lady, and it is the most sincere Daoqian!" The lady Bao Ling said was naturally the Chinese woman in a dress, and the two British sailors were stunned, their most respected Governor-General, His Excellency actually wanted them to ask a Chinese woman to daoqian?

But the two sailors bowed their heads and did not dare to disobey the governor's order, and bowed to the woman in dress. Rong Lu still squinted his eyes, his eyes kept looking at the foreign young man next to Bao Ling, the British naturally would not go to a Chinese woman Daoqian because of Weishenme's so-called gentlemanly demeanor, the main reason was the young man next to him, this young man seemed to have a very unusual identity, even Bao Ling had to give him some face, Rong Lu was even more curious about the identity of this person.

After apologizing. The three British sailors were ordered to leave, and the two British sailors helped Jonathan, who was dazed, to leave the restaurant. followed Bao Ling to Lebret and said in a deep voice: "I'm very sorry sir, I smashed the things in your restaurant, tomorrow you send the bill to the British Consulate, and we will compensate according to the price." Lebret hurriedly thanked him.

While Bao Ling was talking to Le Breet, the blond young man had already stepped forward and put his big hand around the slender waist of the woman in the dress. Although Li Chong had let go of his hand at this time and did not grab the woman's fragrant shoulder anymore, he saw that the blonde foreigner actually hugged his sister's slender waist. His eyes burst into flames, and he stepped forward and shouted, "Let her go!" Then he reached out with his right hand, and he was about to twist the foreigner's hand away.

Fortunately, Rong Lu shot quickly, he grabbed Li Chong, and said lightly: "Don't you see it?" This foreigner is your brother-in-law. ”

Li Chong's eyes widened like a cow's eyes. A look of astonishment looked at the woman in dress, and the woman's pretty face was slightly red. Slightly to one side. Let go of the blonde young man's hand, Su Shou lowered slightly, and said in Chinese first: "Big brother, this person is my fiancé Clifford." Then he said to Clifford in English: "Clifford, this is my eldest brother Li Chong." ”

That Clifford could also understand some Chinese, and Li Zhong's sentence to let her go was obviously with an unfriendly haode. I wanted to be angry and scold, but after listening to the words of the woman in dress, I immediately turned my anger into joy, and it turned out to be my fiancée's brother. No wonder there was such a reaction. At that moment, Clifford stepped forward, stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Li Chong, and said, "Hello, my name is Clifford, and I am the fiancé of your sister Li Xuanji." ”

Li Chong looked at Clifford coldly, and did not shake hands with him, but turned to look at Li Xuanji, who was bowed down and blushing, and asked, "Little sister, what's going on?" When did you make a private agreement with this foreigner for life? ”

Li Xuanji's face turned from red to white, she raised her head but didn't know how to speak, but Rong Lu stepped forward to relieve her, Rong Lu grabbed Li Chong, and said lightly: "It seems that this matter is not clear in a few words, let's sit down and talk slowly, haven't you been looking for your little sister for a few years?" Why do you have such a face when you meet? ”

Li Chong didn't dare to disobey Rong Lu's words, looked at Li Xuanji, and said in a deep voice: "Little sister, let's sit down and talk slowly." With that, he turned his head and went back to his seat first.

Li Xuanji's eyes were full of tears, her face was pale, and her delicate body trembled slightly, she had been looking for this brother for several years, although she had not found it, and the people around her had persuaded her, maybe her brother was no longer alive, but Li Xuanji was still very sure that her brother was still alive, and she had thought of hundreds of reunion scenes in her mind, but she never expected it to be such a reunion. You must know how much of a test it takes for a Chinese woman to marry a foreigner in this era, and the Chinese people still think that foreigners are barbarians, and a woman marrying a foreigner is shameless and humiliating the lintel, and Li Chong's private life has deepened this sense of shame.

A large warm hand gripped her somewhat cold hand, and Clifford whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, dear, I won't let anyone bully you, not even your brother." ”

Li Xuanji was slightly stunned, and her heart felt slightly warm, but she immediately shook her head and said, "Clifford, don't say anything later, I'll talk to the eldest brother, okay?" ”

Clifford smiled and said, "It's all up to you." After speaking, Clifford dragged Li Xuanji to the table of Li Chong and Rong Lu.

Li Chong saw that the foreigner was still pulling his sister-in-law, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Let go of her, what kind of system is pulling and pulling?!" ”

Clifford still understood these words, and was about to ridicule each other, but when he saw Li Xuanji glaring at him, he smiled and let go of his hand, and very gentlemanly pulled out the chair for Li Xuanji, let Li Xuanji sit down, and sat next to Li Xuanji himself.

Rong Lu frowned and glanced at Li Chong and said, "What do you have to say, she is your sister-in-law, not your subordinate!" ”

Li Zhong endured this breath and said in a deep voice: "Little sister, where have you been all these years?" How's it going at home? ”

Li Chong and Li Xuanji's hometown has always been occupied by the Taiping army, and Li Chong has also sent some detailed work to inquire about the news, but the news he got is that the Qing army and the Taiping army have repeatedly fought over the place where his hometown is located, and there is no one left, so Zuihou Li Chong had to give up investigating.

Li Xuanji's tears rolled down and cried: "Big brother, my mother was killed by the Qing army, and I am the only one left in the family. Li Chongyan's face changed greatly when he heard this, he couldn't get up in one breath, and fainted. (To be continued......)
