Qing Guo.

Xianfeng ten years.

August 1860.

The Anglo-French forces that started the Second Opium War finally invaded the capital in August 1860.

A few days later, the Anglo-French forces exposed the inferior nature hidden in their bones, and launched a despicable atrocity against the capital like a bandit.

However, according to the original history, the targets of the atrocities committed by the British and French forces included the Old Summer Palace.

And this time, because of Li Mu's reasons, the Old Summer Palace was taken away from the third smuggling plane in advance, and the British and French forces did not 'burn the Old Summer Palace' as staged in history, destroying the world's most magnificent treasure under the flames.

Li Mu kept the Old Summer Palace, giving the historical British and French forces one less place to vent.

But the bad root nature cannot be removed in the bones, and this kind of thing is not self-proclaimed civilization, and gentlemen can cover up and whitewash.

These inferior thugs who invaded the capital, after they couldn't cover up their own inferior roots, vented all the inferior roots in their bones on the Qingyi Garden, and the other capital gardens that Li Mu did not take.

And Qingyi Garden, that is, the Summer Palace rebuilt in the Guangxu period.

......

in the living room.

Li Mu sat on the sofa, put down the expired newspaper that Abel handed him, picked up the teacup that the maid had placed in advance, and lowered his head to drink the tea.

Abel was the butler, straightening up and standing on the sidelines, listening to orders.

As a bodyguard, Steve, Arnold all stood not far from the sofa, and Natasha also came to the living room with Jessica after cleaning up the room.

Putting down the teacup, Li Mu glanced at the newspaper again, and the English title on it, Qing Guo Garden, was set on fire by the British and French forces.

The title is very heavy in ink, the black is eye-catching, and the font is large enough, which shows that this arson case that occurred in the Qing Dynasty has caused a lot of waves in Europe.

The waves were caused, but Li Mu knew that this kind of waves were just ripples caused by a gust of wind blowing across the lake, and then everything returned to calm.

The third smuggling plane is no longer the Central Plains where all nations come to the dynasty, and it is not the era when the truth is far away in China and is also demanding.

And those who offend our China, even if they are far away, the era of punishment has passed.

This plane is the world of white people, the world dominated by Europeans, these Europeans don't care too much about the Qing Kingdom, and these gardens burned down by them are just condiments for desserts after tea and dinner for the ladies.

It can only be a condiment.

"Sir, do you want to buy a ticket to go back?" Seeing Li Mu's contemplative expression, Able couldn't help but propose.

"Go back?"

"Yes sir, go back to Qingguo and have a look."

Li Mu shook his head and refused: "No, what's the use of me going back?" Look at a ruined and broken capital? It is impossible for this country to become strong on my own, this is the business of the whole nation. ”

Abel didn't speak, just stood silently, honestly acting as a housekeeper.

As Li Mu said, now go back to save the Qing Kingdom and let the Jurchen clan continue to be the emperor of all ages?

It's impossible.

Overthrowing the Qing State ahead of schedule was something he didn't want to do.

In this way, neither do you want to help the Qing State established by the Jurchens, but you also don't want to change history to overthrow this decadent Central Plains Empire in advance, so you can only sit and watch the history of the Central Plains develop according to the script.

At the same time, this also has the advantage of letting the pain once again rebuild the backbone that was sucked away from the Central Plains by the Jurchens.

The whole process will inevitably be accompanied by a lot of death, as well as humiliation.

But that's the price you have to pay for straightening your back.

Li Mu didn't plan to meddle in the historical development of the Central Plains of the Third Plane now, and when he intervened, he would have to wait until after the natural destruction of the Qing Kingdom.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, take me to the warehouse, listen to Natasha, you have already built the warehouse?"

Putting aside the Second Opium War of the Qing Dynasty, Li Mu turned to the warehouse that Abel had built, after all, the goods in the 'temporary leased space' had not yet been proposed.

He also intends to take this opportunity to test Abel's loyalty.

"Yes sir, after you left, I began to go to Washington City to find builders to build a warehouse on the estate, and now the warehouse has been built."

As he spoke, Able turned and led the way in front of him, walking towards the corridor leading from the living room to the main entrance of the villa.

......

Inside the manor, not far from the villa, rows of brick houses have been erected, and the surrounding land has obvious signs of being turned.

Around the warehouse, a few beautiful maids are putting the finishing touches on it.

Abel pointed to the brick house in front of him and said, "Sir, this is the warehouse you want, the whole warehouse is thirty meters long, twenty meters wide, and five meters high, all of which are open, and the top of the warehouse is made of wooden planks, paved with bricks and tiles, so that it can prevent leakage." ”

Li Mu glanced at the warehouse built by Abel, judging from the area, it was enough for him to use it temporarily in the third smuggling plane.

"Able, let the maids who clean up, I have something to tell you in a moment."

"Yes sir."

After a while, the maids in charge of cleaning left the warehouse with the tools in their hands, leaving Li Mu and four cyborgs, as well as Abel who was walking over.

"Sir, they're all gone." Abel said respectfully.

In a moment, he noticed that something was not quite right in the atmosphere around him.

Li Mu didn't look at Abel beside him, but looked at the warehouse and said in a low voice, "Let's go into the warehouse." ”

"Yes sir."

Although Abel found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, he still walked to the front of the warehouse, opened the wooden door of the warehouse with his own hands, and then looked at Li Mu, waiting for the next order.

Everyone went into the warehouse.

Li Mu looked at Abel, the only person in this warehouse who was not a cyborg, and said, "Abel, in a while, you are going to see a secret of mine, you can regard him as a god-given ability for me, or you can treat me as a god, but I hope you can keep this secret?" ”

"You know what?"

Telling the secret to Able so bluntly, Li Mu knew that it was a risk, and he took the responsibility of revealing the secret that he could collect items out of thin air.

But not so bluntly, he didn't have the spare time to cover up Abel and the other maids of the manor.

Especially if it was covered up like this for a long time, there was always a time when a flaw was revealed, so that Able and the thirteen maids noticed it.

Of course, he had other ways to keep Abel and the thirteen maids in mind, knowing that the 'Tamestication Liquid' was still lying in his 'private space'.

The system rewarded him with a total of one hundred 'Domestication Liquid', and so far, he has only used it for Liu Yumei of the original plane, and has never used it again.

So far, there are still ninety-nine 'domestication liquids' in the 'private space' that have not been used, and he can take out fourteen of them for Abel and the thirteen maids to drink, so that all his worries will be solved.

But Li Mu didn't want to do this.

It's not that he feels sorry for the 'domestication liquid', but he has already made a decision in his heart about the use of these 'domestication liquids', that is, to use all of them on this plane, and not waste them on the smuggling plane.

Except, of course, in exceptional circumstances.

This special circumstance does not include Abel in front of him, as well as the thirteen young and beautiful maids in the manor.

"Sir, Abel swears in the noblest rites of the tribe that he will never betray him in his life, and will remain faithful even in the face of death."

Abel knelt on the ground, performing an ancient ritual belonging to his clan with both hands, and finally, he picked up Li Mu's right foot with his bloodied hands and gently placed it on top of his head.

"Sir, whether you are a god or a mortal, I beg you to accept your loyalty, and Abel swears that Abel and future generations will be your most loyal servants."

Li Mu looked at Abel kneeling at his feet, this black slave, with sincerity in his tone, for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Abel, get up, I have accepted you as a slave, and you have also shown loyalty to me." ”

"Yes, sir." Able respectfully took Li Mu's right foot off the top of his head, and then slowly stood up, letting his hands bleed wherever he was, without the slightest intention of wanting to care.

Seeing that Abel's hands were still bleeding outward, Li Mu said to Jessica, "Go and get some cotton cloth for Abel and bandage the wound first." ”

"Yes sir." With that, Jessica walked towards the outside of the warehouse.

Able hurriedly stopped: "No sir, according to the ancient rituals of my clan, if I sincerely dedicate my loyalty to you, the blood of those hands will automatically stop flowing under the test of the gods. ”

"This...., if you don't deal with it, will you stick to it?"

Li Mu pointed to Abel's bleeding hands, those two cuts, under the action of the cells, blocked the wound in time, so that the blood would not flow out again, it would take some time, this time was enough to lose one-third of the blood on his body.

In the end, at Abel's insistence, Li Mu still called Jessica back.

......

Receiving the loyalty that Able had once again proved with the ancient ritual, Li Mu relieved himself and began to call out the system in his mind, ending the 'temporary rental space service' and taking out the goods that had been brought to the third smuggling plane this time.

At the same time, it is also to show Abel his special abilities.

"System, end the 'temporary rental space service' and take out all the goods."

"Drop, the 'temporary rental space service' is over."

The faint white light flashed in the warehouse, and the goods stored in the system space flashed instantly.

There were 20,000 Mauser Type 71 rifles, 20,000 M1865 rifles, and 2 million rounds.

"After the goods are taken out, the service fee will be calculated."

.....

"The fee is settled."

"Deduct the host's 'temporary rental space service' fee of 300,000 smuggled coins."

"After deducting the fee, the remaining smuggled coins of the host are: 1,082,000."

......

The sudden appearance of the wooden box in the warehouse made Abel stunned, and the whole person froze in place, not even noticing that his hands were no longer bleeding.

After the goods were taken out, Li Mu walked up to the stunned Abel approach, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, looked at the square pile of four wooden boxes and said, "This is the secret I want you to keep." ”

"Ahh

Able came back to his senses and looked at Li Mu's eyes changed, full of fantasy, and stammered: "First.... Sir, is it .... Are you really, God? ”

"God?" Li Mu looked at Abelle's eyes, nodded and said, "Well, if you think so, you can think so, but I am a god who has lost most of my abilities. ”

Misunderstandings can sometimes be used to control people's hearts.

Just like the current Abel, after seeing Li Mu's admission, his face was excited, and his body trembled slightly.

It's just that this tremor makes Li Mu very worried about Abel, whether it is because of the consequences of excessive bleeding.

"Sir, it is Able's greatest honor to be your servant." Able bowed excitedly, his body still trembling slightly.

Li Mu looked at Abel who was bent over and bowed his head, and said with a smile: "Get up, as long as you keep your oath, I will keep you safe for the rest of your life." ”

"Thank you, dear sir, for your kindness." Able said happily.

"Okay, don't say thank you, I prefer to take action." After speaking, Li Mu took the lead in leaving the warehouse.

......

After leaving the warehouse, Li Mu had not yet returned to the villa when he saw a carriage driving into the manor and galloping towards him.

Seeing this carriage, Li Mu, who was originally going back to the villa to rest, stopped and stood in place waiting for the carriage that drove into the manor.

As soon as the carriage stopped in front of Li Mu, the door was pushed open. Ben Slen jumped out of it and shouted, "Lee, Mr. Lincoln has won the election, he has become president of the United States." ”

"Dracula, it's inevitable that Lincoln will become president of the United States, but you don't need to be so anxious, right?" Li Mu looked at Dracula with an anxious face. Ben Sillen said.

"Uh..."

Dracula. Ben Silen was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly to Li Mu: "However, those farmers in the south are very dissatisfied, and their representatives are clamoring in Congress, saying that Lincoln is elected president of the United States, and their southern states and cities will be independent of the United States. ”

"yes, I know."

"Lee, you know again? Then you know, next, will Lincoln's election as president cause war? "Dracula. Ben Silen asked, incredulous.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Yes, it will." ”

But in his heart, he thought that even if the American Civil War did not occur according to the original history, he would have to find a way to cause the war, otherwise, who would he sell these 40,000 rifles and 2 million rounds of ammunition to?

"Really? What about Lee, what do we do? Still choose to support Lincoln? "Dracula. Ben Slen asked, out of the nature of a businessman.

Li Mu vs. Dracula. Ben Slen smiled and said, "Tomorrow help me invite Mr. Lincoln to my manor, and say that I have something to talk to him about, and he will regret not coming." ”

After saying that, he turned around and entered the villa, leaving Dracula in a daze. Ben Slen.

......

After a few seconds, Dracula reacted. Ben Silun looked at Li Mu, who had already walked into the villa, and complained helplessly: "This Li, I am about to become your messenger." ”

Then, as he walked toward the villa, he shouted inside, "Lee, tell me what you want to talk to Lincoln about." ”
