Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Xiao Letian enjoyed his rare time of leisure. On the front deck of the Zhiyuan Warship, there was a grandmaster chair, a tea table, and a long fishing rod. A light breeze blew past and the fishing line floated in midair.

There were clearly fish biting on the hook already, but Xiao Letian pretended not to be able to see it, and the guards around him did not dare to say anything. They only surrounded him in a semicircle with their back facing the Head of the Guards, vigilantly staring at the direction of the ocean.

"Bite the hook!" "Why didn't you bite the hook …" Xiao Letian crossed his legs and continued to attack the ocean.

"You've already bitten the hook three times, why would you take the bait if you didn't?" Following the sound, Sima Yun heard familiar footsteps.

No one would stop Four Heavenly Kings from coming to see the Head of the Guards. On the way, they even brought over a chair for General Sima to sit on the other side of the tea table.

Xiao Letian poured a cup of tea for him and laughed lightly, "Even if you bite me, there's no need for me to raise my rod right? Just look at the hook in the water, one is loose while the other is tight, which means that this big fish doesn't dare to eat too much. The most it can do now is scratch the mouth of this beast, which could possibly allow it to escape! "

"Then what do you want to do? Waiting just like that? Be careful that you really run away … "

"My General Sima, don't worry. Sometimes this beast is like some people, it won't be able to stand the temptation of greed. My bait meat has been soaked in fragrant oil and wine for 24 hours. I don't believe that some big fish can't be greedy."

"As long as he is greedy, he will bite the hook to death. At that time, even if I don't use my pole, the big fish won't be able to escape …"

As he spoke, the surface of the sea suddenly surged with water. The fishing line immediately straightened up, and the fishing rod on the deck bent into a bow.

The guard at his side quickly grabbed the fishing rod. "Chief, the fish has hooked onto it. Can't you pick it up?"

"Rise!" Xiao Letian glared at him and said, "Let this beast go through hell with this! We'll be tired of living, then we can rise again! "

Sima Yun laughed, Xiao Letian also laughed, the two looked at the water splashing and laughed until their eyes started to narrow.

The elites and insignificant figures among the big figures could not understand it, but the guards who had been tainted with some of the air of a dragon by the leader could understand a few of it.

When they saw that the Head of the Guards and Sima Tian Wang were staring at the French flag flying around Port Said, they could easily understand with their heels that the so-called beasts and the big fish that was about to be caught were all equal.

Xiao Letian was very relaxed. Normally, it was not the time for him to be fishing, but he knew very well that everything was prepared, there would always be a special calm before the battle. The Frenchman was like a big fish that was being lured around.

They wanted to let go of him completely, but they were unwilling! If they wanted to fight to the death and fight to the death, they would have to be afraid of wolves and tigers. However, at this time, the Chinese people had to remain calm.

"Si …" How do you think Major General Jie Sen will negotiate with the French? " Xiao Letian asked.

"Negotiation? Haha … Only the French themselves feel that the British will negotiate with them, and that, given their cunning, they will not take advantage of this great opportunity. "

"Oh, I'd like to hear more about it!" Xiao Letian spread her hands and asked for guidance.

"First of all, the British are our convoy, and the Queen of England values this state visit very much. However, if the French do such a thing, how will the British protect the honor of the Queen if they are not tough?"

"Second, General Jie Sen received an iron order, he must ensure our safety, the French people almost destroyed his career, how could he not be angry?"

"Thirdly, the importance of the Suez Canal is much more important than us. If nothing happens, we will just have to wait for something to happen. Now that there's such a good opportunity, do you think they won't use it? It will also be an important breakthrough to find a way to station more troops! "

"That's right!" "This is the key point …" Xiao Letian said excitedly, "The British desire for the canals' heart is too obvious, it is basically a sign of their greed!"

"Unfortunately, the French are not stupid. They signed a joint-stock contract with the governor of Egypt, and France holds the majority of the shares in the canal. No matter how strong the cannons are, they cannot rob a commercial company because that is the cornerstone of Western credit society!"

"So the problem with the canal can't be solved by war. It's not that the British suddenly declared war on France and defeated the French army here, they can control the canal. As long as the French are determined not to sell their stocks, the British will have wasted their efforts!"

"So if we want to take control of the French in the canal, the main battlefield is still the stock market. The UK must do everything they can to collect more and more of the scattered canal stocks. Even the smallest amount is worth fighting over!"

"Who has the most stock now, apart from the French, who has a little more? "Of course, with the governor of Egypt, Britain's main focus is on the future …"

Sima Yun also laughed, "That's right, if we want to pressure the governor of Egypt in the future, Britain will have to sing a song with us. They must think of all kinds of ways to increase the number of troops, and this is also a good opportunity to show off their prowess to the Egyptians!"

"So, Major General Jie Sen will definitely cooperate with us, and will definitely stand on our side! This negotiation will definitely be brilliant! "

Xiao Letian looked coldly at the water that was turning over and over, and suddenly laughed: "Of course he has to cooperate with us. I've given him so many antique gifts, if he dares to take money then he won't do anything … Then don't blame me for being rude, I can't start a war with you, but I can still give you a glass of poison! "

"Raise the pole!" With the order given, the two guards exerted force at the same time, and a shark nearly two meters long tumbled onto the deck, landing with a thump onto the teak deck.

"The Führer! A shark, look, its mouth is pierced by a hook! "

"Humph!" Greed means death, Fei Dinanzijue? You want to eat me, Xiao Letian, in the Suez alone? "You greedy one …"

"Sima Yun... Go and notify Xiang Ying and have him negotiate with the French! "

"Let Xiang Ying go?" Sima Yun, who was aware of the inside information, was momentarily stunned, "Xiang Ying, that kid just had such a huge incident, and you're entrusting him with such a heavy responsibility? "Isn't this a bit too much of an indulgence?"

"What's more, based on his young and arrogant temper, he won't become a full-fledged martial artist in the end, won't he?"

"All martial arts will be all martial arts!" The Great Qing's Emperor had almost died in the hands of the French. Let Xiang Ying go and calculate for me, and I will give him 24 hours, he must receive a written apology letter from the French! "

"I'm going to Europe to fight against France. This is a confession!"
