2081 Wing King and Fang Guan
The only corners of the Wing King and Fang Guan were extremely calm in the crowd. The bodyguards around them were all Prussian veterans, and the last battle before retirement was the Battle of Pu'O.
During that war, they had seen the courage and blood of the Chinese people, and were also favored by these Chinese soldiers. Therefore, when the Zhongpu Foundation recruited workers, they were the first to sign up enthusiastically.
They will do their best to pay high salaries and to repay the Chinese people with such favors.
The four bodyguards protected the Wing King and Fang Guan in the middle. No matter how excited and depressed the people around them, they could not praise the two big names at all.
The Wing King and Fang Guan are actually not far from Zai Chun. The closest is only three meters away. The two of them can easily hit the crowd and stab Zai Chun.
Unfortunately, Zai Chun is now in fanaticism and cannot extricate himself. He no longer has the unique premonition he had at the beginning.
Of course, Fang Guan hated Zaichun because she was a slave to the Qing Dynasty and a bitch from the Jiaofangsi. She had been beaten since she was a child. Who else could she count these accounts to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty?
Not to mention the Wing King, the fish that escaped the net in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was punished by Lingchi with a loyal substitute to get his own hidden name.
Although he traveled with Xiao Letian and came to Europe to see the world, he has already analyzed the various reasons for the failure of the heavenly kingdom in the past.
The Wing King knew very well that it was only a matter of time before the failure of the Kingdom of Heaven, because everyone in the country did not understand civil affairs and was just doing it.
If you don’t know construction, you only know how to destroy it. Then you don’t have your own political program. There is still extravagance in chaos. After such a force releases its energy in a short period of time, you will naturally fail miserably if you are powerless.
King Wing understood that if someone at that time had Xiao Letian half of his ability in the senior management of the Heavenly Kingdom, he would not have lost so badly.
But if he understands the truth, he still can't get over it emotionally. So many brothers in life and death died at the hands of the Qing Dynasty. Every night, what they dream of is their souls suffering in hell.
The Qing Dynasty thief leader was in front of him now. He didn't take out his gun and directly killed him, even if he was considering the overall situation.
Seeing Emperor Tongzhi go further and further under the protection of a group of British nobles and officers and soldiers, the Wing King gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, let's get on the barge and see my brother!"
While speaking, the Wing King and his men separated the crowd to protect Fangguan and began to squeeze towards the dock. The traffic barge that had just been sent to Zaichun was unloading the personal belongings brought by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The dock was as high as a hill.
The Wing King and his group were stopped by guardian soldiers as soon as they approached the dock. The Prussian guards took out the pass issued by the London Police Director without saying anything.
"We are from the China-Public Foundation and the advance team of the Chinese diplomatic group. This is a pass issued by the Minister of Police. There is also a pass issued by the British Foreign Ministry..."
Two heavyweight passes were placed in the police officer's hands. After reading it, the police officer quickly stood attentively to salute. He did not expect that the person in front of him was actually a big shot.
"What do you need our help?"
"When will we be unloading the goods? We need a barge, we have to go to Zhiyuan..."
"Okay, please wait, I'll go and ask..." After saying that, the police inspector turned his head and sent someone to ask.
At this time, the person in charge of unloading goods on the dock was Manshun, one of the four eunuchs. This is the most low-key one among the four eunuchs. The specialty of the Forbidden City training him is to make treasures and decisive. To put it bluntly, he was playing with antiques with this little emperor.
Because of his unique attribute, he stayed on the barge to count gifts. He couldn't hide what was the most expensive and what was afraid of touching or falling.
Hearing the inquiry from the British police and translators, Manshun looked up in confusion and looked not far away. He saw two Eastern Hosts at a glance.
"Well? Who is this... Why does it feel familiar? It's weird..." Manshun asked the British police officer and said, "Who is the person coming? What's his name?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry. We don't know the other party's name... But they are officials of the China-Public Friendship Foundation. They are on par with the big names in London. We won't ask if we have nothing to do..."
Manshun nodded, "Tell them that the goods will be unloaded in fifteen minutes, and the barge will be given to them at that time..."
Fifteen minutes passed quickly. After the last box of goods was moved from the barge, the Wing King, who had been waiting for a long time, strided towards the gangway.
Manshun stood behind the goods and stared at the two eastern holes, but he couldn't remember who they were, but he was very familiar.
"Hell, hell... why do you look so familiar?"
Of course, Manshun looked familiar. When he first entered the palace, Emperor Xianfeng was still alive. At that time, there were countless portraits of the traitor leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom hanging in the Yangxin Palace.
The ancient Chinese painted characters with a worse style than the Western realistic style, but the palace has some technicians who are well versed in Western painting, so the characters are not too outrageous.
Fang Guan was originally a woman from the Jiaofangsi. Before giving it to Xiao Letian, she secretly sent her to the palace for some training, including physical examinations, and Manshun had also seen her at that time.
But the Wing King and Fang Guan in front of him were no longer the same. The Wing King cut off his braids and kept his head apart that was common to Europeans. He was wearing a expensive suit and a pocket watch on his chest.
Incremental leather boots, exquisite walking sticks, carefully resting bearded, and even a very shallow-degree myopia lens on the bridge of the nose.
Such a dress has long destroyed his original image in Tianping Heavenly Kingdom. Manshun can only see the ghost if he can recognize it.
As for Fang Guan, he had an ivory folding fan in his hand, his hair was permed into European large wavy curls, and his skirt with a wire lined spread out to the surroundings. One person occupied the area of three people.
The silk embroidered gloves on the smooth arms were covered with pearls and gems. In this outfit, the noble spirit came to his face, and there was no pitiful look like a woman from the Bianjiaofangsi.
The two of them walked past Manshun, and they didn't even bother to look at him. When Fang Guan stepped on the deck of the barge, she suddenly said contemptuously, "Die eunuch, he is Manshun!"
The Wing King's eyes shrank and said coldly, "Do you know him? Do he know you? Will we be exposed? Do you need to make him?"
Fangguan smiled faintly, "Look at it again, I guess I can't recognize me, it's just a matter of meeting..."
At this time, the captain rubbed his hands and walked over, and smiled flatteringly, "Dear sir, Miss... I saw your pass, I am very happy to serve you, but..."
"But one thing we need to say in advance. After all, our ship is a civilian ship. Just now, Lord Duke did not explain the mission of your two on board... We can't reimburse this fee! Haha..."
"Reward!" The Wing King didn't say a little nonsense, and then a few bills were handed out from the guards.
