Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 752 The Ball at the British Embassy

A trace of regret suddenly appeared on McCann's face, and he said, "It's really a pity that you didn't bring the queen here. Anyone who has seen the queen will never forget her beauty and nobility."

Guan Xuqing tightened his clothes: "Mr. McCann, it's very cold today, are you going to keep chatting outside?"

McCann laughed loudly: "Please allow me to lead the way for you. I believe your presence will surprise the guests."

The guests from all over the world dancing on the dance floor didn't know the arrival of the distinguished guest, and suddenly found that the music stopped, and then heard a loud voice at the door shouting: "His Majesty the Emperor of China has arrived!"

Under the astonished gazes of the guests, British Minister McCann accompanied Guan Xuqing into the ballroom triumphantly.Among the guests tonight were quite a few high-ranking military officers of the empire. After realizing their surprise, these officers all stood up straight and shouted neatly with standard military salute: "Long live the emperor!"

Guan Xuqing waved his hand with a smile, and said with a smile to McCann: "You don't need to introduce it in such detail. This will spoil everyone's mood a bit. It seems that I came at a bad time."

At this time, the music started again, and the guests danced to the music again.

French Minister Raffarin came over and said with a bit of jealousy: "Your Majesty, this is a bit unfair. The French embassy also invited you several times, but you refused them all. Here I express my sincere gratitude to you." My personal protest!"

"Next year, I will definitely attend next year." Guan Xuqing said with a smile.

Liang Qichao sent away a few batches of foreign guests who came up to say hello on behalf of the emperor. At this moment, an embassy staff member said a few words in McCann's ear. McCann's expression changed slightly, and he found an excuse to leave Guan Xuqing's side.

"Ginny's car is here." Feng Xianghua whispered, "It seems she can't bear it anymore."

Guan Xuqing looked at the people dancing on the dance floor and said in a low voice: "Don't disturb them, McCann has long known that Ginny has come to Beijing, and it's really impressive that the two of them can wait until now to meet."

Feng Xianghua looked around and said: "I have an idea, don't move Ginny, if she is really a spy with a mission, maybe this is an opportunity we can take advantage of, we can use her to send the wrong information to the UK. Intelligence can also make her serve us in disguise."

"Well," Guan Xuqing nodded: "You can do it as you see fit. It can't be all false information. You have to send a few real ones every once in a while. The people from MI[-] are not fools."

McCann hurried out of the ballroom and came to a small room behind the embassy. His deputy, first-class military officer Maritus, was waiting here with Princess Ginny. "Your Highness, it's an honor to meet you." McCann bowed slightly: "I have known that you have come to China for a long time, but due to security considerations and domestic instructions, I have not contacted you."

Ginny seemed to be a different person suddenly, and said indifferently: "You're welcome, the Chinese are watching closely, and you should be more careful, but I don't know if we can sacrifice Gallagher in exchange for the trust of the Chinese. "

"Your Royal Highness, I must remind you that Chinese intelligence personnel are very powerful. They are omnipotent. You must be careful." McCann said worriedly: "Once something happens to you, it will definitely cause an uproar, not only We can’t account for China, or domestically.”

Ginny didn't seem to care too much: "I don't think the Chinese would think of this, and even if something happened to me, for the sake of the British royal family, the Chinese would not embarrass me."

The princess's overconfidence made McCann, who had lived in China for a long time, still worried. The domestic intelligence agencies didn't know the emperor of China, let alone China's military intelligence network. It would be extremely dangerous to rashly implement such a plan.Including the princess, they all underestimated the power of the Chinese emperor and Chinese agents, thinking that with Ginny's status as a princess and the sacrifice of Gallagher and others, they could gain the trust of the Chinese side.There is another point that McCann has been unable to figure out. Ginny, with her noble status as a princess, is willing to work for the intelligence agency. It is really unimaginable.

"Minister, you don't have to worry about my safety," Ginny saw the other party's worry, and said, "Let's talk about work first, first of all I need to get the mysterious weapon that China is secretly developing, for which we have lost many outstanding talents. intelligence personnel, but they can only get some superficial information; and judging from the intelligence summary, the weapons that the Chinese are developing will be very powerful, what do you think of this time?"

McCann said in embarrassment: "I can only tell you with regret that China has done a great job in this area. We only know that there are more than a dozen military industrial sites in China that are developing new weapons, but what we can know The specific locations are only Huludao and Qinhuangdao, and we don’t know anything about the rest, the Chinese have really done a great job of keeping secrets.”

"Is there no other way?" Ginny asked, "For example, buying officials, or intelligence personnel, money or beautiful women, the British Empire has everything, and someone is willing to cooperate with us!"

McCann smiled wryly, the princess's understanding of China was too limited: "Your Highness, these are useless, not to mention that we can't know the specific person in charge, so what if we know, we have the opportunity to get close to them None, I think you have heard about the interests of those Chinese agents."

"This matter can be done later, but there is one thing that must be done immediately." Ginny's tone gradually became strict: "No matter how much manpower and material resources are lost in this matter, it must be completed unconditionally, without any negotiation leeway."

McCann asked nervously, "What is it that deserves so much attention?"

Ginny said coldly: "We have reasons to believe that there is a Chinese super spy hiding in Europe, and he has been hiding for many years. His shadow is everywhere in the British Empire. He has passed top-secret information to China time and time again; we checked It's been a long time, but I still can't find out who this person is, and I don't even know what method he is using to send out information; this person is too harmful to the United Kingdom. I just want to try my best to find out who this spy is this time. For the sake of memory, we temporarily named this spy 'Dark Arrow'!"

"Ambush in the back." McCann read it again, and then seemed to think of something: "About two or three years ago, we learned by accident that China had a powerful spy in Europe, whose code name was 'Queen'." We have also tried our best to investigate, but few people know that this person exists, let alone expose his true colors. "

"Queen." Ginny asked puzzled, "What does this code name mean?"

McCann spread his hands and said: "We don't know about this. It is guessed that the blueprint of the British T9 tank was secretly sent to Beijing by this person. If it wasn't for that, Britain would be the first in the world to have a steel tank. country, the outcome of World War II and the Indian War will not be what it is now."

"Maybe 'Queen' and 'Dark Arrow' are the same person, judging by the code name. This Chinese spy should be a woman," Ginny said with a sense of realization: "But in Europe, it seems that no woman can have such a big Energy, maybe the Chinese are playing tricks and giving a male spy a feminine name?"

The queen, the most successful spy in the early twentieth century, haunts like a ghost. During the day, he is a well-dressed gentleman or lady. In the dead of night, he turns back to his original identity, the super ace agent of the Chinese Empire.He kept sending one piece of important news to Beijing, but no one knew how he sent the information; he used his huge energy to try his best to influence the policies of Europe, especially the United Kingdom.This super agent even affected the course of the two world wars to some extent, and won countless favorable conditions for the global layout of the Chinese Empire.His existence itself is a mystery. The only Guan Xuqing who knows his identity has never mentioned a word about him in front of anyone. The Queen also continued to be active on the intelligence front after the two world wars, and continued to create incredible one after another. Miracle.

For the current Princess Ginny, all she can think of is to reveal the true face of the "Queen".

"His Royal Highness, it's getting late, I think it's time for you to go in and meet everyone and the Chinese emperor." McCann looked at his watch and said, "I have announced to everyone that you will be here today, maybe I will wait for you to go in , will receive even warmer applause."

Sure enough, as McCann said, as soon as Ginny walked into the legation, the entire dance floor burst into applause.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Her Royal Highness is much more imposing than when you came." Liang Qichao said with a smile.

Guan Xuqing also laughed. As he spoke, he also had to admit that Ginny's charm was beyond compare. As soon as she walked into the venue, she immediately became the focus of attention of everyone at the ball.

"It seems that the princess kept a low profile first, and then made a high-profile appearance. She is ready to officially enter the stage." Feng Xianghua picked up a glass of champagne and said, "I guess she thinks that the initial dangerous period has passed."

At this time, McCann brought Ginny to Guan Xuqing, and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you have known each other for a long time, so I don't need to introduce any more."

Ginny stared at the Emperor of China with her talking eyes and said, "Yes, His Majesty still owed me a dance at that time, I wonder if you are going to fulfill this promise now?"

Guan Xuqing handed the wine glass in his hand to Liang Qichao, and stretched out his hand to Ginny: "Now, in the name of a man, I am honored to invite you, Your Royal Highness, to dance with me."

The two walked into the dance floor with their own calculations in mind.When the dancers saw the Chinese emperor and the British princess dancing together, they all stopped dancing and looked at the two with envious eyes.Guan Xuqing performed very well today, and cooperated with Ginny quite brilliantly, but seeing the perfect combination of dance and shadow, the guests next to him were stunned.
