late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 55
"Hehe..." I smiled softly, and my eyes stayed on Li Yi's face, "Is this how the Taiping Army entertained guests?"

"If it's a guest, we should treat each other with courtesy, but you're sorry!" Li Yi's face suddenly turned cold, and he pointed at me and said sharply, "What kind of guest is a running dog of the court!"

"Then what are you going to do?" I stood with my hands behind my back in a calm manner, with a faint smile on my face all the time.

"Then it's up to Mr. Tang, please!" Li Yi sullenly made a gesture of please towards me.

Judging by his appearance, if I don't cooperate today, he will use force with me.

I shrugged my shoulders indifferently, walked in casually, and sighed as I walked, "Hey! It seems that I can't swim in Luzhou!"

"If Mr. Tang abandons the darkness and turns to the light, Mr. Chen will take Mr. Tang to visit every beautiful place in Luzhou." Li Yi cut to the chase, directly expressing his intention to lure me into surrender.

I deliberately smiled mysteriously, stopped and looked at him, "If I wasn't for the beautiful scenery of Luzhou, I would be for the beautiful scenery of the entire Huaxia River and Mountains."

"What do you mean by that?" Li Yi frowned and looked at me.

"You are Chen Yucheng?" I guessed.

In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he was the only person surnamed Chen who had such high achievements. Since he dared to call himself Chen, he just didn't want to hide his identity.

"Haha, Mr. Tang is really smart, and he is indeed my servant." Chen Yucheng hugged me, which was considered polite to me.

"Master Tang, what do you mean by what you just said?" Chen Yucheng still asked me what I just said.

"What I mean is that the Taiping Army must be defeated! The Qing Dynasty must be defeated! To save the crisis of the Chinese nation, a new political system must be established." I explained concisely.

However, it is estimated that he may not understand what I mean. If he is willing in this regard, I can discuss it with him in detail. After all, I came here this time to win over him.

"The Taiping Army must be defeated? Impossible!" Chen Yucheng directly denied my words.

It seems that he still has great confidence in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so it will be more difficult to persuade him.

"Brother Chen, if you don't believe me, you can walk among the common people yourself, and you will know the answer naturally." After I finished speaking, I continued to walk inside.

It is impossible for me to leave here today. I guess Mei Shuang is going to be in a hurry, and Han Yun has no one to take care of him. I took two steps and turned to look at him again.

"Brother Chen, if it doesn't bother you, take my three attendants along with you."

"Okay." Chen Yucheng was very straightforward, and agreed immediately. Seeing that he is young, he is a hero.

However, in this troubled world, if he can't become a hero who opened up history, he can only become the soul of a hero who died under the knife.

I was arranged to live in a very elegant small building. The small building was built on a rockery, and there was a stream flowing under the corridor. It was really a quiet and comfortable place to live.

From the perspective of feng shui, the person who built this small building must have studied the five elements and eight trigrams. Official means to bring official luck to the owner, but the water in front of the house is not natural water, the water is lush with vegetation, this is beautiful water, which can bring good news to the owner.

On the whole, the mountain is to the north of the house, and the water flows around the house, which is a symbol of wealth accumulation, and the overall layout of the house is symmetrical, which is in harmony with the whole environment. image.

Therefore, the owner of this house is definitely not an ordinary person.

I was sitting by the window drinking tea, and I seemed to be at ease. It didn't take long for Mei Shuang, Han Yun and Zhong Yi to be brought over by them.

"My lord, are you alright?!" Mei Shuang ran up to me with a worried expression on her face.

I shook my head, "It's okay, you guys came just in time, the four of us have gathered a table of mahjong, this beautiful scenery is the most suitable for playing mahjong."

"Your Excellency, you have leisure, we have all become others' prisoners." Mei Shuang sat down on a chair beside her with a bitter face.

"Hehe..." I shook my head with a light smile, and asked her, "Mei Shuang, do you think there is any place in this world that can trap you, my lord, and me?"

"No!" Mei Shuang replied immediately, her voice was crisp and loud.

"So, what else do you have to worry about." I teased with a smile.

Mei Shuang nodded dumbly, with a silly look, "That's true, but my lord, didn't we come to find Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng, and Shi Da?"

"I've found it." I looked outside the house meaningfully and explained, "Li Yi is Chen Xiucheng."

"What?!" Mei Shuang's eyes widened in surprise, and she stammered for a long time before saying, "That brat is a general?!"

"It's the King of England." I corrected.

"No way, my lord, the British King of the Taiping Army is so young?" Zhong Yi also had an unbelievable expression on his face.

I frowned slightly, "It's okay, it looks like you're over 20, Mei Shuang, how old are you, and you still call him a brat!"

"My lord, it is Chen Yucheng who put us under house arrest!" Mei Shuang finally realized.

"How is it? Looking at such a young talent, do you feel moved?" I deliberately teased Mei Shuang.

When Mei Shuang heard my words, she pursed her lips again, sat aside and sulked.

Zhong Yi, on the other hand, showed admiration to Chen Yucheng, "My lord, no wonder you appreciate this man, he is indeed a rare talent."

"Well, the talent is real, so I don't know if I can turn from the dark to the bright. Sometimes, the more a person stands in the light, the more clearly he can see his own dark shadow!" I chatted in cadence.

I know that someone must be watching us in the dark, so we must be extra careful in what we say and do.

"My lord, my subordinates don't understand, what does this have to do with shadows?" Zhong Yi looked at me suspiciously.

I couldn't help shaking my head and laughing. In fact, I said this to Chen Yucheng. He is the King of England now, and he is at the peak of his life. However, the more high he is, the more clearly he knows that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is coming. Decline day by day.

I hope this remark breaks through his self-deception.

"Zhong Yi, can you play Go?" I asked suddenly.

"A little while." Zhong Yi replied.

"Then let's play a game of Go." I was bored and couldn't sit still, so I proposed.

"But my lord, there are no chess pieces or chess boards here." Zhong Yi said in a dilemma.

I looked around the room for a week. The layout is simple and elegant. I guess the owner should also be an elegant person. The most important thing is that there are obvious traces of chessboards placed on the table for a long time.

"Zhong Yi, look for the desk over there, maybe there will be." I simply ordered.
