Li Hongzhang was just right ill, the coalition forces occupied the capital and grasped the absolute initiative, and it was the Empress Dowager Cixi who was unwilling to delay. The coalition forces were attacking everywhere after Cixi agreed to negotiate peace, and were trying to find a way to gain as much advantage as possible, so they wanted to delay the time and ask for a price.

The Qing Dynasty was able to clean up the mess by Li Hongzhang alone, Li Hongzhang's illness suddenly made the powers desolate, if Lao Li picked a son and hung up, who would they talk to?

After listening to Li Hongzhang's words, Chen Hao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had a thought, so he said: "The great powers are indeed worried, but there should still be differences between them, and it is likely that they will delay for a while. If it can create some trouble and make the great powers feel that it is a loss, maybe it will make the great powers more urgent to start negotiations. ”

Li Hongzhang glanced at Chen Hao with interest and said, "Keep talking, how can you create an incident for foreigners to lose?" ”

Chen Hao pointed to himself and said: "The foreigners did not agree to start negotiations at first, because the Russians insisted on punishing me, the 'culprit' who killed a large number of Russians, but fortunately the Queen Mother protected me and I was safe and sound." The Russians hate me to the core, and it is not impossible to send someone to assassinate me, if I leave the mansion of the Lord and be assassinated by the Russians, and I am the deputy envoy appointed by the Imperial Court for negotiation, then the Lord will have every reason to refuse to negotiate, and I think the foreigners will be even more anxious. ”

Li Hongzhang stared at Chen Hao for a long time, sighed and said: "The old man doesn't know whether you are loyal or traitorous, if you are dedicated to the country, it will be the blessing of the Qing Dynasty, and if you have bad intentions, it will inevitably bring disaster to the Qing Dynasty." Your method is very good, but you can't find someone to pretend to be a Russian assassination, you have to find a way to let the Russians do it themselves, and after you die, I will ask the white demon you recommend to replace you as the deputy negotiator. ”

"Player Chen Baxian, Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang, issued you the task 'Blame the Russians', and the task completion condition: use yourself as bait to lure the Russians to kill you. Reward: You can return to the Yingkou Patrol Battalion to continue serving as a Tongzhi, and you can recommend the player to succeed him as the new negotiator. Do you want to accept it? ”

Chen Hao chose to accept the task, and he ordered Cuiyun Niang, who was dressed as a man to protect him, to leave first and go to a nearby Russian patrol point to provoke the Russians. He was protected by Feng Yong, Ouyang Yu, Du Lisan and Cuiyunniang, who was sent by him to lure the Russians, and when he left Xianliang Temple, he dismissed Feng Yong and walked alone on the street.

Chen Hao hadn't walked far, and suddenly there was a commotion in front of him, and an emerald green figure ran in the direction where he was. The emerald green figure was Cuiyun Niang, and after understanding Chen Hao's intentions, she changed into women's clothes and deliberately lured a Russian patrol.

Cui Yunniang was followed by more than a dozen Russian soldiers, and after she ran past Chen Hao, Chen Hao stopped the pursuing Russian soldiers and said, "How dare you wantonly bully the women of my Great Qing Kingdom in broad daylight?" ”

The top brass of Tsarist Russia may know Chen Hao, but how can these soldiers in charge of patrols know him? Seeing that a Qing man in civilian clothes dared to stop him, the Russian soldier smiled and raised the Mosingana rifle and pulled the trigger, and the mighty and unyielding Lord Chen was shot three times and fell in a pool of blood.

"Player Chen Baxian, you were killed by a Russian patrol, your level dropped to thirty-one, your strength attribute dropped by 2 points, and your combat attribute dropped by 1 point."

After receiving the system prompt, Chen Hao remembered that he had passed level 30, and he would drop one level at a time of death in the game, and there was a certain chance of permanently dropping attribute points. If the player does not kill innocents indiscriminately, the chance of dying before level 30 is not large, but the chance of dying after level 30 is as high as 50%.

If a player dies below level 20, if he drops attribute points, he will only drop one randomly; 2 random drops at levels 20 to 30; Three random drops at levels 30 to 40; When Chen Hao was thirty-one, in order to assassinate the commander of the coalition army, Wadsey, after his death, he was lucky not to lose an attribute point, making him forget that there was a 50% chance of losing attribute points above level 30, regardless of whether he killed innocents indiscriminately or not.

Chen Hao's luck was not bad this time, and the three attribute points dropped were all individual soldiers, not the commanders and scheming he cared about. The randomly dropped attribute points will not drop the player's lowest attributes, for example, Chen Hao's political attribute points are 32 points except for scheming and culture, and the system will not drop his attributes that he does not value, but will drop scheming and culture.

Chen Hao's individual attributes are not low, so after death, all four individual attributes may fall, and this time it is strength and fighting. The strong attribute points are mainly the usual exercise and diet, he practiced boxing in the game, the diet has been kept reasonable, the strong attribute points have been steadily improved, and the two can be made up for as long as he continues to maintain a reasonable diet and exercise in the future, he is not very distressed.

Fighting attribute points are the attributes that Chen Hao focused on developing in the early stage, and now it doesn't mean much to him anymore, because he has a large number of fighting masters around him. When Chen Hao entered the game, because he was only alone, he had to add individual soldier attributes, and after accelerating development, he already had a certain amount of power, and there were several bodyguards with strong individual soldier ability, and the focus of future development would be inclined to power and commander.

It's just that Chen Hao won't dare to die casually in the future, this time he is lucky to drop the attribute of a single soldier, God knows if he will lose three conspiracy or commander attribute points next time he dies? It is not easy to obtain scheming and commander attribute points, and if you drop three of them once, it will be a big loss.

More than a dozen Russian soldiers didn't take it seriously after killing Chen Hao, and continued to chase after Cuiyun Niang, but Cuiyun Niang had disappeared from their field of vision. Cuiyunniang soon came to Xianliang Temple, and the guards received Li Hongzhang's order and immediately led Cuiyunniang in.

After saluting Li Hongzhang, Cuiyun Niang said with a sad and angry face: "Lord Zhongtang, my lord Chen Baxian was assassinated by the Russians on the way back, and I hope that my lord will be the master of my family." ”

Li Hongzhang sat up from the hospital bed and said, "Lord Chen is the deputy envoy for negotiations appointed by the Empress Dowager, and the Russians actually sent someone to assassinate him, which is really too deceitful. You go back first, and I will go to the British minister at once, and I will seek justice for your lordship." ”

Cuiyun Niang was about to leave after she got down, Li Hongzhang said lightly: "You follow your family during this time and leave the capital immediately to go to Yingkou, don't show up." ”

Cuiyun Niang Bingxue was smart, she quickly understood what Li Hongzhang meant. She ran to lure the Russian soldiers over, causing the Russians to kill her own adult, and if she showed up, the Russians would surely claim that it was a conspiracy. If she never showed up again, even if the Russians emphasized that it was a manslaughter, it would be impossible to wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River, and the crime of assassinating a Qing diplomat would be convicted.

Cuiyun Niang nodded to Li Hongzhang and then walked out of Xianliang Temple, performed light skills and hid in the shadows, and advanced to the dark passage of Dongcheng. Du Lisan, Ouyang Yu and Feng Yong, three of Chen Hao's guards, came to Xianliang Temple at this time, and they served as witnesses as the bodyguards of the bitter lord, and together with Li Hongzhang, they went to the ministers of various countries to seek justice.

As for why these guards weren't there when Chen Ba was assassinated first, it is also easy to explain that these guards went to the restaurant on the side to arrange wine and dinner, which led to the killing of their own adults. Although they were not dutiful as bodyguards, this was not the crux of the matter, and it was a fact that the deputy negotiator of the Great Qing State was assassinated by the Russians.

Li Hongzhang took Ouyang Yu and the three of them to find the British Minister Dou Nale and asked Dou Nale to uphold justice. Dou Nale was also shocked when he heard that the Russians had sent someone to assassinate the deputy negotiator of the Great Qing Kingdom, and secretly cursed the Russians in his heart for being stupid and doing stupid things at a critical moment in the negotiations.

Li Hongzhang didn't have long to live, and the ministers of various countries knew very well that they should sign treaties as soon as possible. When discussing the outline of the peace talks, various countries had already promised not to investigate Chen Baxian's crimes, and the Russians, in order to vent their anger, assassinated Chen Baxian, who was the deputy envoy for the talks, at this critical juncture, which was bound to have an impact on the negotiations.

While reassuring Li Hongzhang, Dou Nale sent someone to inform the Russian minister Geros and ask Geers to give an explanation. At the same time, Dou Nale also contacted Huaxia Tong Hurd, who participated in the negotiations, and asked Hurd to help calm Li Hongzhang's anger.

Under Li Hongzhang's deliberate leakage, all major newspapers and periodicals in China published the news that Chen Baxian, the deputy envoy of the Great Qing State negotiations, had been assassinated, and all of them were denouncing the Russians. The foreign press also published about it, and most of them ridiculed the Russians for being stupid and using such low-level means in negotiations.

Chen Hao's prestige value has increased by 2 points, the domestic media have expressed sympathy for him, and the foreign media have called him the military god of the Qing Dynasty. The "Daily Mail" published an article saying that the Russians were defeated by the Chinese general Chen Baxian many times in a row, and there was no way to defeat him on the battlefield, and they could not achieve their goals through diplomatic channels, so they could only use despicable means to assassinate him.

Li Hongzhang agreed to Chen's plan because it had the added benefit of further isolating the Russians. The Russians' attempt to sign a separate treaty with the Qing in order to gain territorial benefits would never have been agreed upon, and the Great Powers did not want to see such a situation happen.

The assassination will make the Russians lose money, and it will also give countries more reason to oppose Russia's separate signing, which will be beneficial to the negotiations.

After Chen Hao was killed, his position as deputy negotiator was gone, and his position in the Yingkou Zhili Hall was also gone. However, when he accepted the temporary position of deputy envoy for negotiation, Li Hongzhang sent a message on behalf of Cixi and asked him to continue to sit in Yingkou. Now although he has no official seal and official uniform, Yingkou still has the final say, plus this time he sacrificed himself to cooperate with Li Hongzhang in negotiations, the Empress Dowager Cixi will definitely not treat him badly.

There are many advantages to Chen Hao hanging up this time, but the biggest advantage is that he can allow Bai Hu Demon to participate in negotiations, so that he can really become a top diplomatic player in the game. The white demon diplomacy attribute is good, and there are also rhetorical stunts, which has a great chance of being appreciated by Lao Li, and if you learn Lao Li's stunts, you will make a lot of money.
