"Bang!" Wang Xiangjun, who was full of anger, slapped the table with a loud sound, making the teacups on the table bounce, and the tea that was wiped out began to drip from the table to the ground. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But no one cares about this anymore.

"Huo Long, Huo Shi, you two tell me honestly, why did you make a claim before and let the Li and He families delay the marriage again?

Listening to the old lady's thunderous anger, Huo Long and Huo Shi, the two people who had more than one million troops in charge of the Huo family's army, could almost be regarded as a person under one person, above ten million people, and a person with a grand military power, and now they couldn't help but have a look of uneasiness on their faces, and secretly swallowed their saliva, and their hearts trembled a little.

"Old lady, it was the young master who asked us to do this!" Facing Wang Xiangjun's blade-like eyes, Huo Long had to bite the bullet and say.

"What? Shan'er asked you to do it?" After a pause, looking at the two people standing in the center of the room, Wang Xiangjun couldn't help but ask with confusion: "Isn't Shan'er in Nanyang, coming back soon? Why did you still let the two of you help him delay the marriage? And why didn't he tell me personally?"

"Old lady, that's the case!" Huo Shi first carefully looked at the woman's face before cautiously continuing: "Because the war between us and the Americans in the Americas is tight, the young master can't rest assured, so we temporarily decided to go directly to the Americas from Nanyang to direct the battle there, so let's postpone the wedding for the time being......!"

"What, Xiaoshan is going to America again?" Before Huo Shi finished speaking, Wang Xiangjun didn't bother to study the loopholes in his words, and he had already stood up from his seat with a shocked face.

The Huo family is now an only son like Huo Shan, and Wang Xiangjun, as a mother, is naturally very precious in his heart. "Yes, yes!" Huo Shi was ready to be scolded.

"How did I explain to you at the beginning, the Americas are now at war, and the soldiers are in danger, how can you let Xiaoshan go to the Americas?" Wang Xiangjun said with an angry face.

In her eyes, even Huo Jiajun can conquer the whole world. It was not as important as the safety of his own son.

Hearing this, Huo Long couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "Old lady, we don't want the young master to go, but unfortunately you know that the entire Chinese People's Army was established by the young master." The current Nanyang is also under the command of the young master, and his prestige in the army is too high, we can't stop him at all!"

After listening to his words, Wang Xiangjun also knew that what he said was true, and she knew that her son had been a stubborn character since he was a child. If he did make any decisions, no one would be able to stop him unless her mother was present.

"Where has he gone now, immediately send a telegram to chase him back to me! Just say that I said it!" Wang Xiangjun couldn't help but be full of anger and said with concern.

"Yes. Old lady, let's go send a telegram!"

After saying that, the two quickly said goodbye and left. There's too much pressure on them here.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Alas, I finally got through the old lady's hurdle first!" Huo Long couldn't help but sigh on the way to the headquarters of the Huo Family's Houshan Army.

"Now it's in the past. But we'll have a headache in the future. If we didn't get the young master back, the old lady would definitely come to us for questioning twice in three days!" Huo Shi said with a headache.

Hearing this, Huo Long also nodded in agreement, but for a while he couldn't think of a better way.

"For the time being, we can only do this first, I hope Huo Feng and they can find the young master quickly, otherwise the longer it drags on, the greater the chance of us being exposed!"

"Hmm. That's right, after I go back, send a telegram to Huo Feng and them, and urge them again!"

As he spoke, the two of them involuntarily quickened their pace.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Alas!" After sighing, Lone Pull put down the information in his hand, but the sad look on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

I think he was appointed to the cabinet at the beginning. When he led the fleet to the French colonies of Vietnam, he thought that the task of defeating Vietnam and forcing the Qing to recognize France as a protectorate of Vietnam would be as simple as a trip to a farmstead on the outskirts of Paris.

But when he actually came here, he found that the truth was not as simple as he imagined.

Of course, the Nguyen dynasty of the Vietnamese was not in his consideration. Because half a month ago, the glorious, holy and brave French army had captured their emperor and then forced them to sign a treaty recognizing France as its protectorate.

Even the Qing army stationed in Beizhe, and the Qing army in Guangxi, the Qing state further north, did not care much, because Guba was confident that the nearly 30,000 French army in his hands could defeat these armies.

But what really made him feel embarrassed was the Chinese People's Army, which had risen in the shortest time in the Far East, and perhaps he did not have an intuitive understanding of this force before, but recently they have concentrated too many warships in the Chinese sea.

Not to mention that the Far Eastern Fleet under him, even if the British Far Eastern Fleet is added, is not comparable to the naval fleet of the Chinese People's Army in terms of tonnage.

Moreover, compared with the large number of iron-hulled wooden warships in their fleet, the Chinese warships are all new ironclad ships. And the tonnage of a single ship is not only no worse than that of the French Far East Fleet, but even stronger.

In addition to these, the most troublesome thing for Gu Ba was that the Chinese People's Army also controlled Hai-Nandao and Taiwan-Wan Island, which almost made him plan to shell the Qing coast with the navy, and then force them to recognize Vietnam as a French colony, and open more cities, and cede more benefits to France.

Because he was really not sure that if his fleet went north from Hainan Island and from the Taiwan Strait, the fleet of the Chinese People's Army would cut off their way back, and even cooperate with the Qing fleet to attack them, if this was the case, then the French Far East Fleet would be in danger of total annihilation.

Therefore, even if there were more and more telegrams from China urging him to do it, and his tone became more and more severe, Guba did not make up his mind to start a complete war with the Qing State.

He needed more time to familiarize himself with the relations between the various powers in the Far East, especially in the vicinity of the China Sea.

"Report!"

"Come in!" said Lone without looking up.

"General, there are a few merchants outside the door who claim to have come from Paris, and they need to see you!" said the young soldier quickly.

Hearing this, Gu Ba frowned, for this kind of meeting, he has changed from the happy acceptance when he first came to Vietnam, to the current disgusting attitude.

"Tell them, I'm very busy now, I don't have time to see them, let them go to the governor, Mr. Du Bailei!"

After hearing his words, there was a hint of hesitation on the faces of the guard soldiers, thinking of the gold coins that people stuffed in their hands when they were at the door, and the young soldiers, who knew quite well the meaning of the phrase 'taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people', planned to say a few more words for these businessmen from China.

"General, those people have a Parisian accent, and they don't dress like ordinary people!" Saying this, the soldier seemed to suddenly remember something, reached out from the pocket of his military uniform, and took out a golden palm-sized thing, "They also want me to show this to the general, they said that after seeing this general, you will meet them!"

"Bring me something!" frowning, Guba motioned for the guard to hand it over.

However, after his careless eyes really saw this golden palm-sized thing like the smallest shield, his eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly stood up from his seat.

"Where is the person who gave you this thing now?" asked Guba, holding the gold medal tightly in his hand, and his tone was full of nervousness.

"Right outside the door!" the young guard watched his general's reaction with some surprise, he rarely saw such a slightly nervous, even frightened look.

"Let them in. Oh no, invite them into the living room!"

"Yes, General!"

From his words, it was clear that the extraordinary guards did not dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly ran out.

Looking at the gold medal in his hand, Gu Ba's heart fluctuated, as a French nobleman, he couldn't be clearer about the meaning of the gold medal in his hand.

The Bourbons, a huge family that once ruled over more than a dozen countries in Europe and are still the rulers of Spain, have an influence on the continent that even surpasses the royal family of the British Empire.

Although the French branch of the Bourbon family was less influential after Emperor Louis XVI was guillotined in the French Revolution, the connections and power accumulated by the family in ruling France for nearly 200 years did not end with the death of Louis XVI.

Up to now, the Bourbon family in France is still the top wealthy family in France, with thousands of years of inheritance, so that their influence spreads throughout the three worlds of France, politics and business.

That's why when Guba got the crown in his hand covered with the family crest of the two banner-holding angels Bourbon, the reaction was so big.

Of course, no one would dare to fake or impersonate such a family crest, unless he wanted to be wanted by all the nobles of the entire continent. Therefore, it is certain that the person who can come up with this golden coat of arms of the Bourbon family must be an important person in that huge family.

Thinking of this, Gu Ba did not dare to slack off, and after the guards went out, he immediately came to the mirror, tidied up his military uniform, and felt that he could show his might as a soldier, so he picked up the gold family crest from the table and strode out.
