When Xiao Yungui woke up, it was already night, and the fragrance next to the soft couch was still there, but the beauty was gone. Xiao Yungui hurriedly got up, only to see that the piece of cloth stained with plum blossoms and red on the white mattress had been cut off Qi Qi, and a purple jade hairpin and a letter were placed at the head of the bed.

Xiao Yungui hurriedly opened the letter and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "Xiao Lang sees the words as his face, and it is enough for the concubine to serve the king overnight, this is a matter of the concubine's will, and you don't have to mind." Jun is a hero in the world, and he can't waste his great cause for the sake of his concubine. The concubine felt that this matter was due to the kindness of the West Wangniang, so she went to Guangdong, and after the incident, the concubine would go to England with Clifford, and you didn't have to look for it, which only increased your troubles. ”

Seeing this, Xiao Yungui couldn't help crying, he didn't pay anything, but he could be so loved by a woman, how could he be embarrassed? The red-dyed sheets must have been cut by Li Xuanji, a woman always cares more about her own first time, Xiao Yungui's head was stunned, and there was only one thought in his mind when he came and went, Li Xuanji was his woman, and he didn't want Li Xuanji to go to the UK with Clifford.

At that moment, Xiao Yungui hurriedly put on his clothes, put the letter and the purple jade hairpin into his arms, and shouted loudly: "Tang Erniu! ”

Tang Erniu, who was outside the study, hurriedly responded: "My subordinates are here!" Before the words fell, I saw King Xi hurriedly walk out, and asked, "Where is Miss Li?" ”

Tang Erniu said: "Miss Li left an hour ago. "Tang Erniu is loyal to the King of the West, he has been guarding outside, and he also knows what happened to the King of the West and Li Xuanji inside, but he believes in what a loyal guard should do, and he will not ask about what the King of the West does not order.

Xiao Yungui said angrily: "Why didn't you stop her? ”

Tang Erniu was slightly stunned and said, "Miss Li said that she had to go back to pack her bags, so she would go first, and I didn't have to wake up King Xi." ”

Xiao Yungui paused and said, "How can you listen to her?" Without further ado, follow me! With that, he hurried out of the house. Tang Erniu followed behind, and called out in his mouth: "King Xi, your hood!" ”

When he came out of the mansion, Xiao Yungui didn't care about not wearing a hood, jumped on a horse and galloped towards Li Xuanji's residence, Tang Erniu with dozens of personal guards and then hurriedly beat the horse to follow.

When I arrived at Li Xuanji's women's pavilion residence, I found out that Li Xuanji had followed Clifford to the dock. Xiao Yungui took Tang Erniu and others to the Jianghaiguan wharf in a hurry, and when they arrived at the wharf, they learned that Li Xuanji and Clifford had left Shanghai half an hour ago on the "Antelope" merchant ship of Jardine Matheson.

Xiao Yungui's face was terrifyingly pale, he didn't say a word, just stood on the pier in a daze, looking at the surging Huangpu River illuminated by the fire of the boat at night. Tang Erniu was a little puzzled. Miss Xuanji's trip to Guangzhou has already been decided, most for half a year, or as little as a few months, why is King Xi so sad?

The wind was strong by the river, and after standing for a while, I felt cold to the bone. Tang Erniu couldn't help but go up and whispered, "King Xi, let's go back first." If you don't want Miss Xuanji to go to Guangzhou. Tomorrow we will send a ship south to pick her up. ”

Xiao Yungui's face was still pale, he didn't answer Tang Erniu's words, but asked, "What can you do if you chase it back?" ”

Tang Erniu was speechless, he also knew the temper of the West Wangniang, he couldn't rub a single sand in his eyes, and all the female officials around the West King who had some meaning to the West King were transferred away by her. Miss Xuanji is one of them, Xiwang is in Suzhou, she was transferred to the women's pavilion of the Shanghai Navy Political Department, and Xiwang came to Shanghai. She was sent to Canton again. The matter of the West Wangniang not letting the West King Na Wang Niang has spread, Tang Erniu, as the guard of the West King, knows more about his husband and wife, maybe this is the price that must be paid for marrying the Flower of Peace.

Tang Erniu thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "King Xi, it's better to let Guangzhou Bai Zetang secretly take Miss Xuanji back and place her secretly, so that Queen Xi doesn't know." ”

When Xiao Yungui heard this, his face softened slightly, and he thought in his stomach, Bai Zetang has always only obeyed his own orders, although Hong Yun'er's intelligence department also has personnel in Guangzhou, but it is not subordinate to Bai Zetang, as long as this matter is kept secret, he may really be able to hide it from Hong Yun'er.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Yungui asked, "Did Tong Qiangsheng come back from Yangzhou?" ”

Tang Erniu hurriedly said: "When the evening came, the king of the west was still sleeping, so he went back first." ”

Xiao Yungui flew on his horse and said, "Go back, immediately summon Tong Qiangsheng to see me!" ”

……

Tong Qiangsheng finished his dinner in the rudder of Bai Zetang in Shanghai, and was listening to his subordinates report some recent information in Shanghai. He came back this time because the King of the West sent a task to him to complete, the King of the West asked him to personally select a group of people to follow the merchant ships of the foreigners to Guangzhou in the south, recently the Heaven and Earth Association in Foshan, Guangdong and other places are also brewing incidents, the King of the West asked him to go south to contact the incident, and it is best to collect the Guangdong Heaven and Earth Association as a use.

However, what puzzled Tong Qiangsheng was that this time he sent Li Xuanji to the women's pavilion in the south, Li Xuanji was a talented woman, close to the West Wangniang, and made friends with the foreigner Clifford. Tong Qiangsheng said at first that Li Xuanji went here to help him contact foreigners, but then he thought about it and was wrong, contacting foreigners he could also do it under his subordinates in Guangzhou, so why bother a little girl to go thousands of miles south? Zuihou Tong Qiangsheng came to a conclusion that there were people in the West Hall who did not want to see Li Xuanji stay in Shanghai.

Analyzing intelligence is a habit of Tong Qiangsheng, since the establishment of Bai Zetang, there are special people in the hall to analyze all kinds of intelligence, after all, the information they have probed is only the surface, and a lot of intelligence needs to be analyzed together to figure out the whole thing, so intelligence analysis is also an important skill for Bai Zetang members.

However, after analyzing this matter, Zuihou pointed the finger at the two most powerful people in the West Temple, and Tong Qiangsheng had already instructed the personnel who had seen these intelligence analyses not to spread it to the outside world, and they all rotted it in their stomachs. Tong Qiangsheng made up his mind, so he pretended not to know anything, and did everything according to the wishes of the king of the west.

After his subordinates reported the latest information, Tong Qiangsheng found that there was nothing new, the Manchu Qing and the foreign powers deepened, and the details of the transactions between the West Hall and the foreigners that were leaked out in Guangzhou were also deliberately done by the West King Tong Qiangsheng, which really made the Manchus and the foreigners even more difficult to deal with. Tong Qiangsheng was still wondering whether to add more fire, and heard that there were several new French missionaries in Guangzhou, who were very restless and had been trying to go deep into the interior to preach, maybe they could do something about it.

When he was still thinking about it, his subordinates reported that the king of the west summoned him to meet, Tong Qiangsheng immediately got up and straightened his clothes, and took two relatives to the political department of the Shanghai Army.

After a while, he came to the temporary residence of King Xi next to the Political Secretary of the Shanghai Army, and Tong Qiangsheng was led by Tang Erniu to King Xi's study for a private meeting.

I haven't seen him for a few months, the king of the west seems to be a little thinner, and his face is very bad, after Tong Qiangsheng saluted, he secretly glanced at the king of the west a few times, thinking that the king of the west is still upset? This master is not even afraid of demons and foreigners, who can embarrass him? Tong Qiangsheng instantly understood, except for Xi Wangniang, who didn't think about it as a second person.

Xiao Yungui didn't know that the perennial agent career had changed a lot for Tong Qiangsheng, this person likes to analyze each other when he is in contact with people now, Xiao Yungui doesn't know that he was also secretly analyzed by Tong Qiangsheng.

"After arriving in Guangzhou, you immediately changed your clothes and sneaked into Foshan, and connected with Chen Kai, Li Wenmao, He Lu and others from the Tiandi Club over there. You also know that there will be an incident in the heavens and the earth over there, and you still want to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has been dead for hundreds of years, what are you going to do with it? Chen Kai is a person you can win over a lot, he is not a stubborn person, if a few of his subordinates insist on refusing to submit, you might as well get rid of it secretly, but remember to do it cleanly, don't let people grab the handle. Xiao Yungui absentmindedly explained sentence by sentence: "Li Kaifang has begun to launch the Fujian campaign, and if the uprising in Guangdong is done well, Li Kaifang will take advantage of the situation to go south." Once there is an incident in Guangdong, remember not to besiege Guangzhou for the time being, firstly, the Qing demon still has a sailor in Guangdong, and it cannot be killed, and secondly, the consul of the foreigners in Guangzhou is Pa Xiali, this person still has some prejudices against our Taiping army, and before meeting with Li Kaifang, you must let Chen Kai wait patiently. ”

Xiao Yungui said a word, Tong Qiangsheng responded, zuihou Xiao Yungui said: "And you went south this time, and by the way, you picked a few businesses that the Qing Demon Xiang Army did business with foreigners in Guangzhou, and then Li Kaifang wanted to fight Guangzhou, and it was not interesting to keep those businesses." ”

Tong Qiangsheng nodded and said: "We have been keeping an eye on those businesses, but they have always been taken care of by foreigners, because these businesses can communicate with the trade routes of other places of the Qing Demon, and they are still protected by foreigners, and their subordinates have not dared to touch it." ”

Xiao Yungui said lightly: "Once there is an incident in Guangdong, the foreigners will not take care of so many things, and it is estimated that we may send troops to fight Lao Maozi with the foreigners, and you don't have to worry about the foreigners." Later, we will take several ports in Fuzhou, Xiamen, and Guangzhou, and we will also worry about a few businesses of Qingyou? ”

Tong Qiangsheng responded, Xiao Yungui paused when he said this, and hesitated for a while before saying: "There is one more thing, I asked Tang Erniu to go down to Guangzhou with you, you help Tang Erniu find Li Xuanji, you must bring her back." ”

Tong Qiangsheng sighed slightly, the people who Xiwangniang wants to drive away, Xiwang wants to take them back, what is this?

Seeing that Tong Qiangsheng was a little stunned, Xiao Yungui said gently: "You know this matter, I know, Tang Erniu just knows it, and there can't be a fourth person who knows, do you understand?" ”

Tong Qiangsheng hurriedly said: "My subordinates understand." Then he secretly slandered to himself, King Xi and Queen Xi really had a little trouble with Queen Xi because of this matter. Tong Qiangsheng said with some embarrassment: "King Xi, that Xuanji girl and the foreigner Clifford are very close, if the Xuanji girl refuses to go with us, the subordinates are worried that the foreigner will take care of it." ”

Xiao Yungui snorted and said, "Are your Bai Zetang's spies eating dry rice?" Do you want this king to teach you this kind of thing? Pretending to be kidnapped for ransom and finding a female corpse to replace you will be a secret from the world? If Xuanji refuses to come back with you, she will be tied up too! ”

Tong Qiangsheng hurriedly said yes, in fact, he had just heard about it, and he already had seven or eight response regulations in his womb, but he still wanted Xiao Yungui's words, because Li Xuanji's identity may not be the same in the future, Tong Qiangsheng didn't want to offend her, nor did he want to offend King Xi or Queen Xi.
