2. Ten thousand miles of wind and sand (2)

The tropical weather has always been rainy and fickle, it rains for a while and then it clears, but this place is different from other places, hot and hot with little rain, and the shore is all bare rocks, showing little vegetation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info in the blue water, the white sails are dotted, very eye-catching on the sapphire-like sea level, the gray seabirds are chirping, flying low over the white waves rolled up by the seaside, resting on the reddish-brown rocks, combing the feathers on the body with the beak of the bird, tilting his head to stare at the gray warship in the harbor, the huge warship is resting in the port like a giant beast, although it is silent, but it looks very intimidating, suddenly, a warship sounded a banging gun, startled a piece of seabirds flying in the air.

In a white fortress on the edge of the harbor, there were soldiers wearing chain mail and holding scimitars outside, everyone heard these cannon sounds, and the knife in their hands became tighter and tighter, and the officer headed by the officer looked at the movement on the sea, only to see that the warship only shot a few hollow shells, and there was no next move, so he relaxed a little, calmed down a little, calmed down the soldiers who were in a little commotion, walked quickly to a lookout, and bowed slightly, "Lord Admiral, it's just that the foreigner's warship is making trouble, and there is no other movement." ”

"Really no movement?" The one who is called the Admiral is Peng Yulin, who is handsome, I saw him dressed neatly in court clothes, using a telescope produced in Yangzhou, carefully looking at the location of the port, Peng Yulin snorted coldly, "Look for yourself," Peng Yulin threw the telescope to his subordinates, and left by himself, the subordinate picked up the telescope and looked at it, in the lens, a group of blonde and blue-eyed soldiers on the warship flying the British flag raised their middle fingers to the ship flying the dragon flag not far away, or said something in their mouths, although they were far away, they couldn't hear what was said, But looking at their expressions, it must not be a good word, and even worse, unbuttoned his pants, revealed the words under his crotch, and peed into the sea, the officer snorted coldly, and held the telescope hard, "These foreign devils," there was a frightened and angry expression on his face.

Peng Yulin walked up the stairs, through the soldiers in the forest, to the top of the fortress, a third-floor hut covered with shells on the outer wall, Tang Wufu, the chief eunuch of Shoukang Palace, and Gao Xinkui, the chief secretary of the General Administration, who were standing outside with their sleeves, were talking about something, Gao Xinkui handed a bottle of something to Tang Wufu, Tang Wufu saw Peng Yulin come up, and greeted him a few steps, "Lord Peng, who are you?" ”

"This official asks to see the Queen Mother, please ask my father-in-law to pass it on."

Tang Wufu glanced at Gao Xinkui, and Gao Xinkui bowed his hand, "This time, Lord Nalan, the commander of the Zibu Army, is also inside, it must be the same as Lord Peng's intention, Master Peng, there is no need to do more." ”

"Hmph, do you know what this seat is going to say?" Peng Yulin was a little angry, and his beard trembled, "You treacherous people, you are driving the queen mother out of the country, you are all the life of the mustard, death is death, the queen mother is the body of ten thousand gold, how can you lightly get involved in the danger of foreigners, if it is not for the queen mother here, this seat will definitely be beheaded to thank the world!" I want to see the Queen Mother, why do you need to wait for more words, and report it quickly! ”

Gao Xinkui just smiled slightly, and did not defend, and Tang Wufu entered the western-style building with a disgraced face, and invited Peng Yulin to go in after a while, Peng Yulin straightened his court clothes and strode into the western-style building, Gao Xinkui did not follow up, Tang Wufu touched his nose, "Master Gao, don't you go in and persuade you?" ”

"What am I going to persuade," Gao Xinkui said with a smile, "If the Queen Mother can be said by Peng Yulin and return to China, she will not go to sea. Let's just wait to go farther away to see the world, you, a person who has never been out of the palace, will have the capital to brag in the future, but you have arrived in India! Mr. Tang, what do you say, what is the scenery of India? ”

"Journey to the West says, this Tianzhu is the place where moral monks live, I heard that the Buddha also lives here," Tang Wufu folded his hands and chanted the Buddha, the palace people were helpless, accustomed to religion, the Qing Dynasty especially believed in Lamaism, although the Queen Mother did not catch a cold, but also couldn't help but be the bottom of the people, Tang Wufu read the Buddha, "But I am here, I haven't seen any bald monks." ”

"Manager Tang, you don't know about this," Gao Xinkui said with a smile, "It is true that Buddhism originated in India, but in this birthplace, under the Bodhi tree, there are not many Buddhists anymore. ”

"I see, but I see," Tang Wufu looked left and right, "This port is well maintained, but it is better than Tianjin Port, our mess there is far less clean and tidy than here." ”

"Hahaha," Gao Xinkui smiled, "The British are counting on the port to make money, and they can be lazy there, besides, the British have ruled this place for more than 100 years, and they are naturally very well taken care of, but Manager Tang, don't look at these houses, go out for a walk, you will know how pitiful these Indians who have lost their country are."
