The cardinal standing in front of the three of Shan Liang was a middle-aged white man in his forties, dressed in a red robe that was extremely conspicuous, his face was extremely kind, and he also had a faint smile on his face.

On the way back, I happened to run into Bishop John, so I could only take the liberty of disturbing Lieutenant General He again. As soon as they met, the representative of Britain was the first to speak, which could be regarded as a secret introduction to the cardinal.

"It doesn't matter. He Shaoqing waved his hand and said generously: "I don't know what happened to this Bishop John coming to find He, I remember that there were no people from the Holy See among the people who explored the blessed land this time." ”

"May the glory of Allah be with you at all times. Bishop John opened his mouth to be their classic line, but in the eyes of the three of them, it was too magical, "I heard that Yu and Shan have left the unknown place safely, and the Pope specially ordered me to come to understand the situation, and if there is anything abrupt, I hope you will understand." "This Bishop John speaks Mandarin in a straight and round manner, and he is very proficient.

Because this blessed land is also the first to be discovered in China, according to the international practice of first discovery and first naming, this time China continues the saying of the blessed land of Shifeng and names it as a blessed land, which is tacitly accepted by any country and force in the world, but the Holy See is not among them.

The name of the blessed land obviously has a strong oriental mythological color, which is extremely inconsistent with the religious system of the Holy See, so even if the whole world acquiesces to this name, the Holy See still calls the blessed land an unknown place, although it is a bit of a cover-up and stealing the bell.

"God says that the unknown land is full of killing and greed, which is one of the worst original sins of God's people, so the Pope has commanded me to come and find an opportunity to rescue the lost lambs. "Bishop John's mouth is God, original sin or something, which makes He Shaoqing, who has never been exposed to these things, a headache when they hear it.

"That Bishop John, we are all uneducated people, and we don't understand what you say, so let's have something to say. He Shaoqing looked at what Bishop John wanted to say, so he hurriedly interrupted him.

Although He Shaoqing interrupted his unique tone and words, this Bishop John was worthy of being a cardinal who was personally appointed by the Pope, and there was no impatience on his face, but he smiled faintly and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I forgot that the glory of the Lord has not yet spread to every corner of the world, which I did not expect." ”

Hearing this Bishop John say this, Yu Jianhua couldn't help but snort in his mouth, let alone Yu Jianhua, even Shan Liang was a little uncomfortable when he heard this Bishop John's words, what does it mean that the glory of your Lord has not yet spread to every corner of the world, it seems that this Holy See has taken advantage of the change and has a lot of careful thoughts.

There have been Crusades in history, to put it bluntly, the Holy See wants to expand eastward, which is why there is the so-called Eastern Crusade, to achieve doctrinal expansion by bloody military means, which seems a little incredible to people now, but this seems to be a very normal thing at that time, and the game between religions is often accompanied by bloody slaughter, just like the Xuan and Shi Gates in ancient China.

"Of course, I don't mean to offend you, but I was ordered by the Pope to come and inquire about the situation. Bishop John naturally heard Yu Jianhua's cold snort, and in order not to affect the future affairs, he still took the initiative to explain.

"I don't know what Bishop John wants to know about the blessed land?" He Shaoqing is not a hairy boy, not to mention that the position he is in now has a big factor in handling diplomatic and logistical work for the Special Bureau, so he did not make any inappropriate moves like Yu Jianhua.

"If possible, tell me everything you need to know about the unknown land, including its properties, its form, the dangers it may encounter, and the means to get out of it. Bishop John was polite, but when he opened his mouth to say something about the blessed land, he became unceremonious.

"Shall we also show you the things we have obtained from the blessed land, and by the way, the purpose of these things. Hearing Bishop John's request for the lion to open his mouth, Yu Jianhua couldn't help but ridicule out loud.

"Doesn't the bishop's request feel a bit excessive? Although what we have obtained in the blessed land is only some plant samples, but these things are things that dozens of my Huaxia sons and daughters have exchanged for at the cost of their lives, do we want to share this fruit just by a few words from the bishop?"

Even He Shaoqing, who has always put the overall situation first, couldn't help but change his face when he heard Bishop John's words, he really didn't expect that this kind and polite Bishop John made such an excessive and outrageous request, and this kind of behavior was no different from that of a robber.

Our people are fighting life and death in the blessed land, so it is not easy to get a little valuable information, and now this Bishop John can't see you when he is exploring the blessed land, and now that others have come out of the blessed land, you just say a few high-sounding words, and you want to get something for nothing, haven't you woken up yet.

Even the representatives of Britain and Germany could not help but look at each other when they heard Bishop John's whimsical words, wondering whether they should stand up and ease the cold between the two parties.

Not to mention Bishop John, who is late when the matter of the blessed land is nearing the end, even if the two of them have lost an extremely important vitality in the blessed land, they are embarrassed to say such things so arrogantly, is it not that Bishop John still thinks that today's China is the country that can be bullied at will more than a hundred years ago, I really don't know why the Pope would send such a cardinal here to understand the situation.

"Gentlemen, do not doubt the broad-mindedness of our Lord and the purity of the Messenger of our Lord, that in order to be able to better rescue the Lambs who have gone astray, I hope that if possible, you will provide me with a somewhat quieter environment, so that I may have a more peaceful conversation with the two Governors. ”

Of course, the person who can become a cardinal is not stupid, and he also knows that because of his pampering and pampering, he has developed a way of speaking in a way that can speak in a straightforward and commanding manner, and it can be said that in the past, except for the Pope and some little-known figures, he rarely had to take into account the emotions of others.

However, in order to ensure the completion of the task assigned to him by the Pope, he still made some concessions that he thought were quite reasonable, such as standing up like he is now, and calmly saying his request to these people who usually need to look up to him.

Because Bishop John was facing away from Yu Jianhua and Shan Liang when he said these words, they didn't see that Bishop John, who was speaking at this time, had a look of arrogance or charity, but even if they couldn't see this person's face, the two of them could imagine this neurotic look.

It's really that this so-called cardinal's words are too annoying, what does it mean to provide him with a quieter environment, so that he can talk with them more peacefully, not to mention the representatives of other countries and forces, just talk about He Shaoqing.

He Shaoqing is the representative of Huaxia at this time, and he is the representative of Huaxia at this moment, and he is even within the scope of Bishop John's invitation, which is the same as coming to the master's house and inviting the master out of the room, even if a person who knows a little politeness can't do this kind of thing.

Shan Liang and Yu Jianhua scoffed at Bishop John's way of speaking, and said in their hearts that even if others would react to Bishop John's words, at least He Shaoqing would not have any reaction, because he represented Huaxia at the moment, and if he really did this, it would be detrimental to the national body of Huaxia.

As a result, unexpected things appeared in front of the two alive, He Shaoqing, together with representatives of several other forces, made the same move, silently left his seat, and walked out of the room with a serious or even solemn look on his face, and when the last person walked out of the door, he also closed the door of the reception room lightly.

The two of them watched this scene happen, two people, you look at me, I look at you, they looked at each other and didn't know what to say, at this time Shan Liang felt that something was not right, so his lips moved slightly, and a small voice appeared in Yu Jianhua's ears, "Isn't this also a little strange." ”

Yu Jianhua didn't know this kind of transmission, so he nodded solemnly in approval, he also felt that there was something wrong with He Shaoqing's behavior, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

Just as the two of them made eye contact, Bishop John had already turned to look at the two of them, with that kind smile on his face: "Two councillors, you see that the others have kindly made room for us to be quiet, can we start talking?" ”

Although Bishop John had the same smile on his face as always, after experiencing the strange things before, the two of them were a little insensitive to the smile on his face, and they always felt that behind this smile, there seemed to be some kind of flood beast hidden.

"Oh, I don't know what kind of conversation Bishop John said?" Although Yu Jianhua was full of vigilance against the bishop in front of him in his heart, as the so-called acquaintance does not lose the battle, he still looked very indifferent on the surface.

"Indeed, speaking of it all at once, I really don't know what to say, so it's better to say it like this, I ask you to answer, I don't know what the two directors think?" Bishop John said this sentence with a smile, and at this moment, Shan Liang and the two suddenly realized that the cardinal's eyes in front of him were unusually bright.

"Hey, how did I get here?" He Shaoqing, who was walking slowly, suddenly paused, shook his head in confusion, and didn't know what was going on at this time, obviously meeting the cardinal in the reception room, why did he suddenly come to the corridor outside the reception room.
