Chapter 210: Deliberation
Li Qingzhu slowly walked to the sleeping British consul and looked at the table and chair next to his big bed, on which there were also coffee drinking utensils.
Seeing that there was still a coffee making appliance on the cabinet next to him, and there was a coffee powder used to fill coffee next to the utensils, his eyes lit up, to be honest, he was afraid that it would be dawn at this time, he was really tired without sleeping this night, and he just drank a cup of coffee to refresh himself.
So without saying a word, he brewed coffee directly in the bedroom of the British consul.
Li Qingzhu didn't care about the sound made by these movements, and naturally he would not restrain himself, and the British consul finally woke up when Li Qingzhu made a sound for the second time.
The British consul opened his eyes in a daze, looked at the window next to him, it was not yet dawn, he was really sleepy at this time, recalling the coffee he drank a few hours ago, the coffee he brewed was different, and it was much sweeter to drink.
Speaking of coffee, the British consul seemed to smell the aroma of coffee, and the rich caramel flavor really made him have a lingering aftertaste.
Suddenly, the British consul opened his eyes.
'Not true! This coffee aroma is real coffee! ’
The British consul's mind flashed with such a thought, and he immediately rolled over and sat up, looking at the table and chair where he had made coffee before bed.
At this moment, Li Qingzhu was sitting leisurely on the table and chair drinking coffee, and the aroma of coffee that the British consul smelled was emanating from the cup of coffee in Li Qingzhu's hand.
"Good evening, Mr. Consul, I'm sorry I haven't slept all night. I happened to see coffee in your bedroom, so I made a cup of my own opinion, hoping you don't mind too much. ”
Li Qingzhu raised his coffee cup and smiled politely. Very easy-going greeted the British consul.
The British consul subconsciously looked in the direction of the bedroom door and found that the door was closed, and there was no sign of opening the windows around him, how did this person get in?
Watching the British consul's movements, Li Qingzhu not only smiled, but then put down the coffee cup in his hand.
The sound of the coffee cup touching the chassis brought the British consul's attention back to Li Qingzhu.
"It's the first time I've met Mr. Consul like this, I think. Or is it a different look, Mr. Consul should be more familiar. ”
After speaking, Li Qingzhu reached out and groped his face, and then tore off the human skin mask attached to his face. showed that face that the British consul would never forget.
The British consul's eyes widened suddenly, and then he slowly regained his composure, looked at Li Qingzhu with a frown and said, "If it's you, then everything can make sense." I'm weird though. You weishenme sneaked into my room so late. And you didn't do anything threatening me? ”
"I don't think it's necessary, and besides, talking to Mr. Consul would be much better than that."
Li Qingzhu put away the human skin mask, picked up the coffee cup again and drank a cup of coffee, looking much better.
"Hehe, but I'm not interested in talking to you, you have to know, you're too dangerous. Especially recently I've learned a little bit more about you, honestly. I don't have the courage to discuss anything with you, because I'm really afraid that one day you will sell you and help you count the money. ”
The British consul was almost awake from his drowsiness at this time, he walked down from the bed leisurely, picked up his pajamas from the bedside table, put them on, and walked to Li Qingzhu.
He wasn't worried that Li Qingzhu would hurt people at all, because he slept for so long, until he woke up, Li Qingzhu didn't do anything unfavorable to him, which means that Li Qingzhu didn't want to hurt his heart, so he also had no fear.
Li Qingzhu looked at him sitting opposite him with a smile on his face, he didn't say anything about the discussion, he picked up a clean cup next to him, brewed a cup of coffee for the British consul, handed it to him, and said: "I just woke up, my spirit must not be very good, come and drink a cup to refresh myself." ”
The British consul took the cup of coffee from Li Qingzhu's hand but didn't drink it, but put it in front of him and said to Li Qingzhu: "I took my heart, but I won't drink what you handed over." ”
Li Qingzhu shook his head with a smile after hearing this, but did not blame the British consul for his rude behavior, but said: "You are really cautious, to be honest, I admire you very much for this, Mr. Consul." ”
"Thank you, I admire you too, Mr. Li, at least you are the most powerful teacher I have ever seen at the level of education."
The British consul also began to compliment Li Qingzhu, for him, I don't know if this is a courtesy.
"Okay, there's no need for us to compliment each other, in fact, I came here today to discuss something with Mr. Consul, I hope you can finish listening."
The British consul nodded, stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Qingzhu to please.
Li Qingzhu nodded with satisfaction and praised the British consul's behavior. In fact, the British consul did this is also the smartest move, don't look at him to deal with it so calmly, but in fact, Li Qingzhu still puts a lot of pressure on him, and he doesn't know if he will anger him if he always fights against Li Qingzhu.
Anyway, it's just listening now, and it's still two to say what Zuihou decides, so he decided to listen to it first and then talk about it, this is the mentality of those of them who are engaged in politics, and sometimes it is not a loss to listen more.
"That's right, not long after, a good friend of mine is about to launch an uprising to overthrow the Qing court, and at that time I hope that Mr. Consul will not send soldiers to stop them, I wonder if Mr. Consul will be able to agree to this request?"
The British consul was stunned, when he caught Xu Jinxi and the two a few days ago, he heard their so-called confession, at that time he already suspected that Li Qingzhu was a member of the Alliance, but he didn't expect him to admit it himself, and told him Jihua or something.
Li Qingzhu is not an idiot, he should know that if the Qing court is overthrown, their country will not gain any benefits, but will lose a lot of things.
But where did his confident smile come from?
The British consul became more and more unable to understand the man in front of him.
"Mr. Li, you should know that there are always only interests between countries, if you want to convince me, OK, please come up with a counterpart interest, otherwise, I have no interest to do things that harm my country's interests."
The British consul frowned and did not refuse Li Qingzhu, he believed that Li Qingzhu was not untargeted, maybe he was really paid.
Li Qingzhu gently clasped the table with his fingers, made a rhythmic sound, and said to the British consul: "I really haven't thought about the appropriate benefits, why don't you say a price point for Mr. Consul?" ”
The British consul was stunned, this guy still came unprepared, was he planning to empty gloves white wolf?
"Heh, Mr. Li is really confident, he came to talk to me without any benefits?"
The British consul looked at Li Qingzhu funny, not knowing whether this person was arrogant or confident.
"After all, there are too many suitable benefits for Britain now, such as the right to open coastal cities, and for example, the right to garrison frontier cities."
Li Qingzhu smiled, stroked the warm coffee cup with his hand, looked at the British consul and said very easily.
The British consul was not as relaxed as before, he looked at Li Qingzhu in surprise, he didn't expect Li Qingzhu, a martial artist, to be so sensitive to national affairs, and actually guessed what Britain was talking about with China.
Seeing the expression and reaction of the British consul, Li Qingzhu also knew that he had guessed correctly, and he was now extremely grateful to his history teacher, who had not studied modern history in vain.
"I don't have that much ability to open coastal cities, but if I have the right to garrison troops in border cities, I think I still have some say in Zhang Dashuai."
Li Qingzhu's words made the British consul instantly excited, and now the Northeast garrison that Britain and the imperial court are talking about has always been a big problem, that is, because it is impossible to avoid the emperor Zhang Zuolin, if this matter is promoted by him, then the beloved queen may give him a lifetime honorary title or something, admired by the people of the whole country, and will leave a strong mark in the history books.
As soon as he thought of this, the British consul couldn't wait to agree.
However, he has been a diplomat for a long time, and he also has an occupational disease, that is, he will not fully trust others, especially Li Qingzhu, and the British consul suspects that he has other purposes. (To be continued......)
