Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 458

In the middle of the night, there is wind but no moon.The House of the Governor General of Singapore.

Tina is an American concubine of Yuan Shikai Xinna. She is just 19 years old this year.It would be a mistake to think that such Western beauties were forcibly occupied by Yuan Shikai or bought with a lot of money.Their union was purely the result of a misunderstanding.

Tina, Ben is a law student at the University of California.When Yuan Shikai was the minister of Beiyang, he sent his second son Yuan Kewen to study and travel in the United States. The second son of Yuan met Tina at a dinner party, fell in love at first sight, and asked for Tina's jade photo.

When Tina heard that this young man was the son of the well-known Governor Yuan Shikai in China, she was naturally very enthusiastic.When Yuan Kewen returned to kowtow to his father, he accidentally slipped Tina's photo out of his pocket and dropped it on the ground. Yuan Shikai pointed to the ground and asked repeatedly: "What is it? What is that?"

Because the Yuan family's family rules were very strict, the second son did not dare to talk about his privacy to his father, so he was in a hurry and replied: "I found a good-looking girl for my father in Nanjing, so I brought this photo back to see if my father likes it?" Yuan Shikai After taking a look at the photo, it was really beautiful, and said repeatedly: "Good! Good!" So he immediately sent someone to the United States to pick up Tina.

On the night of weddings and candles in the bridal chamber, Tina discovered that her ideal person had turned into a half-old man with short stature and gray hair on the temples!And the second son of Yuan could only sigh at this "stepmother" afterwards.

But Yuan Shikai was good at manipulating people, especially with women. After a period of time, Tina began to change her view of Yuan Shikai, thinking that this man had power and money, and he was the perfect husband for her. As for the young Americans generally do not particularly care about the gap.But the only thing that makes Tina most dissatisfied is that Yuan Shikai's polygamy is completely contrary to the American family society, but this is not something she, a Western woman, can change.

At this time, in Tina's room, she put on a Chinese-style dress, and kept gesticulating in front of the mirror: "How did you do this? It's so beautiful! Hehe, I'll show Yuan to wear it when he comes back tomorrow!"

The girl Lanxiang lowered her head and said, "This is a female celebrity in China. If Miss Tina is interested, I can show you the slave girl!"

"Lan, just teach me if you teach me, what's wrong with you? And didn't I tell you not to call yourself a slave? Why are you here again!"

Tina grew up in the United States, which advocates human rights and democracy. She hated the behavior of treating others as slaves. Therefore, when she knew the meaning of "servant", she kept asking Lan Xiang to change her words.However, as a Chinese woman, Lan Xiang's concept of "identity" has been deeply rooted in her bones: "Slaves do not dare to be slaves for a day, and they will be slaves for life, so slaves"

Tina helped Lan Yan who was kneeling on the ground and said: "From now on, you are not allowed to kneel down at will. I feel uncomfortable and I don't know what's going on with Yuan."

"Miss, the master treats me very well, he never beats me or scolds me, return, return"

Tina smiled and said, "I still love you very much."

Lan Xiang lowered her head and smiled, "Yeah."

"Who?" The two female soldiers standing guard at the door only said a word and then fell silent, followed by the sound of the two falling to the ground.Before Tina and Lan Xiang could react, two masked men in black rushed in, and the two gleaming scimitars shone coldly.

It was the first time for the two women to face such a situation. Lan Xiang froze on the spot, while Tina hid back in fright and leaned against the dressing table before stopping.But it was Lan Xiang who woke up first. Just as she opened her mouth to shout, a masked man knocked her unconscious to the ground, and another masked man pointed a knife at Tina and said in a deep voice, "Where is Yuan Shikai?"

Tina was so frightened that she couldn't speak, she just pointed to the north direction, and the assassin saw only a white wall along her finger, so he put his arm around her neck: "Little girl, if you don't tell the truth, I'm going to kill you now!"

Tina took a sharp breath, and then said in a trembling voice, "I'm in Beijing, and I haven't come back yet."

At this time, two masked assassins came in, and they exchanged glances, "Have you found Datou Yuan?" "No, just now a guard was arrested, and they said Datou Yuan hasn't returned yet."

The leading assassin glared at Tina and said, "Foreign girls, I know you can understand Chinese, if you dare to speak out, I will kill you with one blow!"

The masked human who stunned Lanxiang said: "Tsk tsk, this little face, the small waist is really cheap for me this time, hehe, I have never played with such a beautiful girl before."

The leading assassin said: "What nonsense are you talking about! Take off her clothes and throw them on the bed, and then lead her to retreat!"

The masked man who stunned Lan Xiang took off Lan Xiang's clothes and said: "Little beauty, don't blame brother for being cruel, I will let you go on the road comfortably in a while."

The masked man with the knife wanted to step forward and kill Tina immediately.But his companion's platitudes distracted him slightly.

At this moment, a "bang" gunshot broke the silence of midnight.The masked man with the knife stared wide-eyed, and fell backwards clutching the blood gushing out of his chest, while Tina looked terrified, holding a revolver that was emitting white smoke tremblingly in her hand.Seeing this, the masked man who was still alive picked up the knife by the bed and rushed towards him.Tina almost subconsciously fired the plane again, the bullet passed through the assassin's right shoulder, causing a cloud of blood, hitting him into the air, hitting the wall and passing out.

Hearing the gunshots, the entire Yuan Mansion was in chaos.Tina was throwing up when the guards rushed inside.

In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Shikai, who had gone to Beijing to report on his duties, returned home.

After comforting Tina, Yuan Shikai called the housekeeper and asked in a cold tone, "Old Liu, do you know which bastard did it?"

Old Liu said anxiously: "The assassin has no characteristics, so it has not been found out that he did not protect Miss Tina well, and I ask the master to punish him!"

Yuan Shikai said: "Is the assassin still alive?"

Liu Zhongji said: "I'm being held in the cellar now. I have let the most loyal servants and guards take turns guarding me."

Yuan Shikai's tone was still cold: "If you want to attack me, come at me, but you actually attacked my woman!"

"Master, you see how to deal with it next"

"Old Liu, did you tell the outside world that the assassin is still alive?"

"I didn't say it, even the Zhuang Ding of the mansion thought that the assassin died after being injured, and now only a few people know!"

Yuan Shikai nodded and said, "Well, you did a good job."

"Fortunately, if Aunt Tina hadn't brought a pistol, I'm afraid," Yuan Kewen murmured.

"When she left home, she brought it for self-defense on the road. I didn't expect it to be useless in the United States, but it saved my life in China!"

"Godfather, who might have done this?" Duan Zhigui asked with a grin.

Old Liu said: "Yes, who in China would assassinate an American girl?"

Yuan Shikai stroked Wa Liang's bald head and said, "I'm also wondering, why kill Tina? What's the benefit of killing her?"

Duan Zhigui said: "Godfather, will someone see that the Americans are closely related to us, and want Miss Tina to die in the house, and then drive a wedge between you and the Americans?"

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shikai pondered: "It's unlikely. Tina just came to the mansion not long ago, and she rarely goes out. Not many people know about her. Besides, it's useless to kill Tina."

Seeing Yuan Shikai's frown, Yuan Kewen couldn't help asking, "What did you think of?"

Yuan Shikai said: "If my judgment is not wrong, the target of these killers may not be Tina, but Lan Xiang or me!"

"Lan Xiang?" Duan Zhigui asked puzzledly: "Why did they kill Lan Xiang? She is just a slave in the eyes of outsiders, why would anyone wait, could it be?"

Yuan Shikai murmured: "Because the status of the two is one in the sky and the other in the earth, so the two girls were killed at the same time, everyone would think that the assassin's target was Tina, and Lan Xiang was just innocently involved in this assassination. That's exactly what we thought at the beginning." Yuan Shikai turned his head and glanced fiercely across everyone's faces, "You may not know that Lan Xiang was sent by others to spy on me!"

"Oh?" Everyone suddenly changed color. "who is it?"

Yuan Shikai sneered: "It is Fan Xuecheng, the commander of the 9th Army of the Empire in Singapore. You all know that he has always been at odds with me. In his eyes, he only has Feng Xianghua and Xu Shichang. He has never taken me as the governor. I gave him an order to change defense and adjust, but he refused to accept it, we will achieve great things in the future, this kid is a stumbling block."

"Then why did you send someone to watch you?" Yuan Kewen asked.

"Idiot, there is no need to ask. Of course he wants to know my every move. If there is any abnormality, he will immediately impeach me to the emperor. So now I suspect that Fan Xuecheng secretly reported all the things the emperor asked during the report." Yuan Shikai With a livid face, he said through gritted teeth.

"Then why did the assassin assassinate Lan Xiang?" Duan Zhigui asked.

Yuan Shikai thought for a long time, and felt a splitting headache. He waved his hands and said, "I don't know about that. There is another possibility that they came after me."

"You have been in Beijing all the time, so they don't know?" Yuan Kewen said.

Duan Zhigui said: "Well, just now Old Liu said that the assassin wouldn't open his mouth no matter how hard he hit, and there was poison in his mouth. Fortunately, he passed out, otherwise Old Liu would not have been able to capture him alive. All this shows that they are very professional!"

Yuan Shikai said: "That's right, such killers are generally some people's dead men, who are specially used to carry out secret missions! Then any actions they take have a purpose, so we have to think about why they do this? Could it be that the emperor instructed Fan Xuecheng to do this?" Speaking of this, everyone present was in a cold sweat!
"It can't be like this." Duan Zhigui gasped.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a cry from the back room: "Miss Tina is awake!"

Yuan Shikai and others rushed into the house. Yuan Shikai picked up the weak Tina and asked, "Tina, how are you?"

Seeing that it was Yuan Shikai, Tina forced a smile and said in a weak voice, "Yuan, someone is going to kill you."

When Yuan Shikai heard this, his face suddenly changed!
