Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

When he was drunk, it was the night that the Hua Clan committed murder and set fires. However, today's mission was definitely done by a famous master, Xiao Letian had given the nickname of 'Port Said's Great Rescue', but who exactly was it to save? He had to keep the clock going for another half hour.

Just as the British officer was at a loss as to whether to kneel or not, in the Port Said, the negotiations had reached a stalemate.

Xiang Ying followed the plan that Xiao Letian had set out to catch some big fish for himself. From using the war as an ultimatum to using Counsellor La Ku's analysis of the pros and cons, all the emotional changes in the Frenchmen were completely under Xiang Ying's control.

Diplomacy negotiations were not like gangster fights. Although fists made sense, they couldn't completely force each other into a corner. They couldn't act without holding back like rascals. Diplomats had to know when to advance and when to retreat.

It was just like how a fish would be relaxed during fishing. It was nothing more than tempering the patience and strength of a large fish. In the end, what the Chinese still wanted was an apology declaration. If they wanted Counsellor La Ku to act according to their expectations, then they would have to make several choices that would put him on a path that the Leader wanted to follow.

The first way is war, the second way is to apologize and then we will leave, La Ku can choose for yourself.

He knew that he would lose the war without a doubt. Even if he believed that the French Emperor would lead the army to take revenge in the future, he had already reached the end of his career.

There definitely could not be a war. The interest of the Suez Canal was a result of the operation of France for more than twenty years.

La Ku was very clear that the reason the apology statement was taken away by the Chinese was to fight in court. Although the France was not afraid to fight in court against the Chinese, after all, if he made such a declaration, Paris would definitely be furious.

When the time came, he would also be punished, but the punishment would only be a little less severe.

If a war broke out, he would be sentenced to death. However, if he were to make a statement, he would definitely suffer a backlash. Both sides would feel uncomfortable.

La Ku who was conflicted started to play with Xiang Ying. He started to talk to Xiang Ying left and right, neither agreeing nor refusing, and started to use the drag word tactic.

Delaying tactics was a common sight on the negotiating table. This was why negotiations between countries could sometimes go on for more than half a year or even a year. There were also many negotiations that had gone on for more than ten years without any results.

La Ku knew that Fei Dinanzijue was on his way, and that the Chinese were definitely anxious to visit Europe, hence time was of benefit to him. As long as he did not anger the Chinese people now, he would be able to pass this trial within a few days.

La Ku intentionally made the Consular House prepare a banquet to invite Xiang Ying and the soldiers outside to enjoy. However, Xiang Ying had already seen through his scheme, he would rather starve himself to death than leave the negotiating table.

In the end, La Ku even ordered his subordinates to send the fine wine, coffee and various side dishes to the meeting room, but Xiang Ying was still abnormally strong and did not give him any face.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood to eat anything at a time like this. Every minute and every second is precious, and the leader only gave me twelve hours to solve this problem …"

"Twelve hours later, if we do not have the answer that we want, then you are destined to see our soldiers land on Port Said …"

La Ku bitterly wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. "Sir, you can't be this unreasonable! Where in the world did negotiations go so fast? You want to get to the bottom of this in twelve hours? "That's impossible, even if you beat me to death I won't be able to do it!"

"Counsellor, please do not change the topic. What I want is an apology statement … "We're not dealing with a case with you right now, we're trying to sort out our responsibilities. If we were doing a case investigation, it wouldn't have been me alone!"

Xiang Ying looked at him coldly: "You have to understand that we only want an apology statement from you guys to calm down the anxious soldiers.

"No matter what, we are the guests, and we are the noblest guests in Asia. In your French colony, we were bombarded, smashed, and shot at the emperor …"

"No matter how this happened, shouldn't you have an apology? Even if all of you are responsible for protecting him, you should at least admit it, right? Can't even do that? "Why are you still talking to me about sincerity …"

"Take away all these food, we, the Chinese do not drink the water from the Pirates' Spring, and do not eat the food that no one else comes to eat …" Take it away! "

La Ku's face turned red and white. He really wanted to brush his sleeves and leave, since when did the haughty French diplomats have to endure such anger, especially towards these Chinese. Since when did they have to change their feng shui into this state?

However, he did not dare to do so because the tyranny of today's group of Chinese changed his usual impression of them. They really did dare to fire their cannons! They were crazy!

If they really dared to force their way in, and if the French dared to stop them, then it was truly possible that a conflict would break out.

La Ku was in a dilemma, on one hand, he did not want to make this declaration, and on the other hand, he did not want to anger the Chinese people.

The lights in the meeting room were dimmed, the dishes on the table were blurred, making people lose their appetite, the other Registrars s had already left the room, only Xiang Ying and La Ku were still in the house.

"What does that mean?" Xiang Ying asked even though he already knew the answer.

"General Xiang! Here is the note for the hundred thousand Gold franc s … This is a bit of kindness, and I'll give it to you as a gift! "

"What?" Do you treat me as a corrupt official? " Xiang Ying was furious.

"No, no …" "This is just a little gift from me. Can you please let me finish?"

At this time, La Ku's face revealed a sorrowful expression, "Oh sir, please understand my difficulties. I have worked under Ferdinand's lead for six years, but I have never received a promotion …"

"Why? Because I'm not of noble birth, my family is just an ordinary little capitalist... Without any influence, I can only bitterly endure in my career as a official! "

"After working hard for twenty years, I have finally reached the position of Counsellor. I am already over forty years old, how many more years can I get? "If today's matter is ruined in my hands, then I will be finished in the future!"

"General Xiang... "I definitely am not using money to insult you. I also know that this matter can't be resolved by bribery. I just want you to consider a different way, how about we resolve this issue differently?"

"Another method? I can't think of any other way out. Do you want to bribe the entire Chinese race? "What are you thinking about?"

"Hahaha …" La Ku suddenly laughed: "You are right, this is my method!"
