0832 [The Great Conspirator]
"My head hurts! Oops! β
A ray of sunlight shone through the window on Du Yongxiao's eyelids, and he opened his eyes sleepily, feeling that he had no strength and had a splitting headache.
"I seemed to have a dream last night, a very strange dream, and when I think about it, I can't remember what the content is." Du Yongxiao rubbed his temples and said distressedly.
He sat up and saw that he was naked, so he found a shirt to put on, and there was mineral water at the head of the bed.
The dry throat was moistened and much more comfortable, Du Yongxiao took the mineral water, took a deep sigh of relief, leaned on the head of the bed, closed his eyes and rested.
Last night, a scene unfolded in his mind, but until he got to the guest room, he didn't know exactly what was going on.
"Damn, I drank too much, and it was broken!" Du Yongxiao knocked on his head, "I don't know when Jiang Ling'er left, she even paid for the meal, I'm really embarrassed." β
After thinking quietly for three or five minutes, Du Yongxiao opened his eyes, drank a few sips of mineral water, and then got up to get dressed and prepare to wash.
The moment he lifted the quilt, he was stunned-ββ
But I saw a little plum blossom-like blood stains on the snow-white bed-ββ
"Uh, how so? Am I hurt? Du Yongxiao checked his body, and there were no wounds or discomfort.
"How is there blood on the bed?" Du Yongxiao was stunned, looking at the blood stains, delicate and moving, there was an indescribable taste.
"Could this be -ββ" Du Yongxiao pondered carefully, "Me and Jiang Ling'erβ"
Du Yongxiao tried hard to think about it, and there was indeed Jiang Ling'er in the dream that seemed to be made.
"Isn't that a dream, everything is real?" Du Yongxiao shuddered and jumped up.
At this moment, he was short of breath and a little overwhelmed.
Who would have thought that the generation of heroes who did not change color before the collapse of Mount Tai, Hong Kong Emperor Du Yongxiao, would panic at this time?
"It can't be true, can it? How can it be? Du Yongxiao pinched his chin and smiled bitterly, "If it's true, why did she leave?" Since I did something wrong, I will admit it, I, Du Yongxiao, am not those scumbags who don't admit their accounts! β
Du Yongxiao paced beside the bed, "Why don't you call her?" Do you want to? What if she's too embarrassed to answer? Do I have anything to do with her? , headache! β
Du Yongxiao sat on the bed again, grabbed his hair vigorously, and couldn't make up his mind.
If Jiang Ling'er was the kind of woman who could be a husband, Du Yongxiao would not be so careful, the question is-ββ
Looking at the plum blossoms on the bed, Du Yongxiao couldn't get over his conscience.
After thinking about it, Du Yongxiao finally grabbed the phone, dialed the number, and thought about what to say later.
Toot -ββ
Dudu β
There were a few long tones on the phone-ββ
Just when Du Yongxiao's hopes were shattered, thinking that Jiang Ling'er would not answer, there was a voice from the phone being picked up.
"Hello, who?" Jiang Ling'er was as crisp as a yellow warbler, and the soft cry sounded over there.
"I'm Du Yongxiao, the ...... Nothing happened last night, right? β
"Nope."
"Huh?" Du Yongxiao was stunned for a moment, "It doesn't seem right to listen to your tone, has something happened?" β
"Not really!" Jiang Ling's choked voice was heard over there.
Du Yongxiao was anxious: "Is it me and you, that ......?"
"You're drunk, you're drunk."
"Yes, I know, but I -ββ"
"What did you do next, you don't know?" Jiang Ling'er asked rhetorically.
"I really don't know." Du Yongxiao rubbed his temples and said, "I broke it, I just remember that you helped me back to the guest room, and then ......"
"And then you don't know anything?"
"Yes."
"Do you think this is a reason, or is it an excuse you made?"
"No, I didn't mean that...... If it was, I wouldn't call you either, I just want to know if you're okay, right? β
"What do you think?"
"Ahem, that-" Du Yongxiao was dumb again.
"What's that? You didn't mean it, you were drunk, so you didn't know everything. You crushed me under you, bullied me hard, ignored my screams, ignored my struggles, ignored my pain, none of this was intentional, was it? β
Jiang Ling'er asked a series of questions, so that Du Yongxiao didn't know how to answer.
"I ...... I don't really know what to do. β
"So you know now."
"Huh? Yes, I see. β
"So what are you going to do?"
"I-"
"Why, I don't know? The dignified Commissioner of Police, the future Viscount of the British Empire, bullied girls, but now he doesn't know what to do! Jiang Ling'er spoke disdainfully.
"You can let me compensate as much as I want, but it's just ......"
"Just what?"
Du Yongxiao stopped talking.
Jiang Ling'er sneered: "Okay, don't embarrass you, I know, I won't force you to marry me, and I don't want to marry your Du family!" β
Du Yongxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not a scumbag, nor is he a negative person, the most important thing is that he does not trust Jiang Ling'er, and this feeling has been there for a long time.
"How much do you want?" Du Yongxiao directly made a condition, "If you can, I can give you a blank check." β
"I don't want money! As for what I want, I haven't figured it out yet, I'll tell you when I do! β
"Huh?" Du Yongxiao was stunned, the more Jiang Ling'er was like this, the more Du Yongxiao felt that she was not simple, and even wondered if everything was a game last night.
"Okay then, I'll wait for your news."
Du Yongxiao talked with Jiang Ling'er a few more words, hung up the phone, hesitated a little, and dialed another number.
Yan Xiong was sleeping over there, and he was almost exhausted these days.
As Du Yongxiao's godson and one of the closest people to the future Viscount, Yan Xiong is busy to death, constantly attending banquets and participating in various meetings, and his status is constantly rising.
He also drank about the same last night, and when he was older, he couldn't play with the chicks, and he was not interested in nightclubs, dance halls, clubs, and bars, so he went home early to rest.
I finally slept a lot, and I was holding the pillow and dreaming, but I was awakened by the phone ringing.
Subconsciously, Yan Xiong asked his wife to answer the phone, but there was no movement for a long time, and then he remembered that he was spending the night outside, and his yellow-faced wife was not around.
Yan Xiong muttered: "It's better at home, and the yellow-faced woman also takes care of it, at least there is tea to drink when you get drunk." β
Nagging in his heart, Yan Xiong picked up the phone, squinted, and yawned: "Who, -ββ so early in the morning"
"Du Yongxiao."
"Huh?" Yan Xiong was so surprised that he almost fell off the bed, and at this moment he was half drunk.
Coughing a few times, Yan Xiong hurriedly sorted out his tone, and was respectful: "Godfather, what's the matter?" β
"Help me look up someone......"
"Who?"
"Jiang Ling'er."
"Ah, Miss Jiang?"
"That's right, you help me investigate her details, I always think she's not simple......"
"Yes, godfather!" Yan Xiong swore, "If you allow it, I will use the FBI and MI6!" β
Yan Xiong has been with Du Yongxiao for a long time, and he knows very well that as long as Du Yongxiao asks him to investigate, it will be difficult to find out the details of the other party.
Especially like Jiang Ling'er, who stayed by Du Yongxiao's side for so long, Du Yongxiao opened his mouth to let the investigation, which shows that Jiang Ling'er usually has no flaws, and it is difficult to investigate anything through ordinary means, so Yan Xiong asked Du Yongxiao for permission to use the relationship between the FBI and MI6 for the sake of insurance.
Du Yongxiao nodded: "You are in charge of everything, in short, be fast!" β
"Yes, godfather!"
β¦β¦
Just when Du Yongxiao contacted Yan Xiong, Jiang Ling'er also hung up the phone.
"Well, what did he say?" Jiang Shaolong asked beside him.
Jiang Ling'er frowned and said, "He seems to notice that something is wrong." β
"He suspects us?"
"Possibly." Jiang Ling'er walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, hugged his fragrant shoulder and thought: "This Du Yongxiao has always been alert and cunning, many people have been played with by him, this time he was tricked by us, it is strange if he does not doubt it." β
After a pause, "If I'm right, he must be contacting his men right now to get them to investigate my identity." β
"Ah, he's so shrewd?" Jiang Shaolong couldn't help but be surprised.
He walked over to Jiang Ling'er and sat down, poured Jiang Ling'er a glass of water and handed it over: "Then what should we do?" β
"I can't stay in Hong Kong anymore." Jiang Ling'er made a decision, "As long as we are still here for a day, we will be investigated by him sooner or later." And -ββ"
"What else?"
"You can't go to England and the United States, that's his territory. In the United Kingdom, he is very familiar with the people in MI6, and in the United States, he is friends with the top level of the FBI-"
"What then? The world is so big, is there no place for us? Jiang Shaolong said distressedly.
"Let's go to Thailand."
"Huh?"
"The situation in Thailand is very chaotic now, neither the UK nor the US can control it, but it is safest there."
"Okay, I'm going to buy a plane ticket to Thailand!"
Jiang Shaolong was vaguely happy in his heart, he had long wanted to go away with Jiang Ling'er, but Jiang Ling'er wanted to take revenge on Du Yongxiao and insisted on staying in Hong Kong, and now it's okay, we can finally leave Hong Kong together.
Jiang Shaolong went out with joy on his face, Jiang Ling'er bent down and drank water with a teacup, but his heart was full of taste.
She can guess Du Yongxiao's next move, so Du Yongxiao may also guess her move.
If she wants to win Du Yongxiao completely, then the only thing she can rely on is luck.
Jiang Ling'er stroked her abdomen again, if a small life can really be born here, then Du Yongxiao will lose this time.
"Du Yongxiao, what's the use of being so powerful no matter how powerful you are? What if you have a lot of wealth? Eventually, your property will fall into my hands! Jiang Ling'er clenched her fists and her eyes burned, "When the time comes, I will let you know what it means to be born like this!" β
β¦β¦
In the next few days, Du Yongxiao was almost preparing to go to the United Kingdom to be honored.
As the first Chinese viscount in the history of the British Empire, the whole of Hong Kong was also boiling, praising Du Yongxiao for winning glory for the Chinese.
Those Hong Kong ghosts were extremely jealous and said that Du Yongxiao was taking shit luck.
"That's right, he's just lucky!"
"Our British Empire has always been very generous, and the surname Du is just lucky this time!"
"For us in the British Empire, it's nothing more than a viscount!"
Of course, you can't eat grapes and think that grapes are sour.
These ghosts are jealous, which makes countless Chinese people crooked.
For a long time, the status of the Chinese in Hong Kong was very low, although it was Chinese territory, it was colonized by the British, and even classified the Chinese as a third-class person, even inferior to the "coated" Indians of the British.
Now it's a good thing that Du Yongxiao directly became the viscount of the British Empire and slapped those ghosts in the face to let them know that there is nothing that we Chinese can't do in this world.
In the face of Hong Kong's one-sided public opinion, the British government in Hong Kong is very calm.
In fact, from the time Du Yongxiao was nominated as the "viscount", the Hong Kong Governor's Office had already expected that Hong Kong would set off this "Chinese storm".
The Chinese have been colonized by the British for too long, and their grievances are too deep, so it is good to take the opportunity to vent them now, lest these Chinese provoke any more moths.
In addition, for Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, Du Yongxiao is now only nominated as a "Viscount of the British Empire", and he was only a baron before he went to England to receive the award from Her Majesty the Queen.
"We still have time."
In the VIP room of the Governor's Palace, Governor MacLehose said to the judicial boss Sir Barriqu with red wine, "As long as he doesn't go to England for a day, then he will only be a baron for a day." β
Bailiqu also held a glass of red wine, looked at MacLehose with deep eyes, and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean." The strategy of delaying the army will make those Chinese feel comfortable for the time being, and as for whether this Du Yongxiao can successfully reach London, England, it is still unknownββ"
"Now, dear sir, I didn't say that-ββ how does it sound wicked."
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I heard that Du Yongxiao was going to take a cruise ship to England this time, and the sea was windy and rough, and there were occasional pirates and the like...... It's dangerous! β
"Haha, that's right! Although the pirates on Pirate Island were exterminated by him, Hong Kong has always been a pirate paradise, in addition to the famous Zhang Baozai, there is also the pirate queen Zheng Yi's sister-in-law! β
Needless to say, both Hong Kong and British people know his legend, as for Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, she is actually sharper than Zhang Baozai, and there are not a few legends left in Hong Kong and other places.
Zheng Yi's sister-in-law's original surname was Shi, and her name was Xianggu, a daughter of the Tan family of Guangdong Xinhui, born in 1775 and died in 1844. After marrying Zheng Yi, the pirate leader of the Red Flag Gang, she became known as Zheng Yi's sister-in-law. After Zheng Yi's death, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law became the leader of the Red Flag Gang and led the Red Flag Gang team to grow rapidly.
During the Qing Dynasty, due to the sea ban policy, the lives of people in the coastal areas fell into difficulty, and some people chose to become pirates who intercepted merchant ships in order to survive. However, this is not an easy profession, and pirates are often hunted down and encircled by officers and soldiers. In this context, Zheng Yisao's sister-in-law gradually emerged with her outstanding leadership skills and courage.
Under her leadership, the Red Flag Gang grew rapidly and conducted several joint operations with other pirate forces. These joint actions not only gave them an advantage against the Qing government, but also gave them a major victory against the fleet of foreigners.
Under the leadership of Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, the Red Flag Gang pirate team became larger and larger, and they used Lantau Island, Hong Kong as their main base, with 500 or 600 ships and 30,000 or 40,000 troops. These pirate ships were armed with artillery, and their strength was enough to shock the British army.
However, as time passed, the Qing government joined forces with the British invaders in an attempt to eliminate the Red Flag Gang with the help of the Great Powers. Under such pressure, the Red Flag Gang gradually went into decline. Despite this, Zheng and her team still left a deep mark on history.
"Oh yes, I heard that Zheng Yi's sister-in-law still has a lot of remnants in the nearby seas, right?" MacLeho asked with a smile.
"yes, and it's amazing. I heard that since the fall of Pirate Island, they have learned from it and are now equipped with long-range artillery! β
"Oh God, it's horrible!" MacLehose made a gesture of prayer, "What about Du Yongxiao, what is the name of the ship he took to London this time?" β
"IT'S CALLED GOOD-LUCK!"
"Haha, isn't Chinese the lucky number?" MacLehose picked up the red wine and invited: "Come, we congratulate the surnamed Du on his luck!" β
"HAHA, GOOD-LUCK!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and drank it all.
