Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Ten days, this was the deadline for Benjamin to make his final decision. If he did not disband automatically after ten days, then he would have to forcefully disband the council. However, this was a dead end, Benjamin had already obtained a clear attitude from the Queen.

However, this old man still insisted on his face. He knew that if he wanted to make a comeback, he couldn't back down too badly. He had to put on airs and make some moves within ten days, which was to counter attack Gladstone.

Within these ten days, Gladstone also had to consider the general situation and make some sort of concession. This was the fundamental reason for the smooth transition of power.

Benjamin did not want to lose too badly. In the end, he hoped that the people would think that he had chosen to go down because of the overall situation. This was a form of courtesy and not a form of defeat.

Gladstone was also going to act, and he had to make some concessions to show that he was not too aggressive, and to continue to maintain his gentle label in front of the public.

Benjamin was not stupid, Gladstone was also not stupid. They all knew clearly that this kind of battle was not between two people, but rather a battle between two people.

Don't go too far, because it's not just one person that's offended, it's a huge party, hundreds of millions of British citizens, and countless supporters of that idea.

Ten days was enough time for acting, and these ten days were no longer related to the envoy anymore. The entire envoy entered into a most relaxed and cozy moment, and Xiao Letian even gave all of the soldiers a chance to take a break from work. They were allowed to go to the streets of London to relax and enjoy the feeling of being in a foreign country.

Xiao Letian had also given his army officials a big break. Sima Yun, Wang Huaiyuan and the others also put down what they were doing and were forced by Xiao Letian to relax.

There were plenty of nobles queuing up in London to treat all these distinguished guests from the east for drinks and fun. Luo Huo, Liang Kun, Yepingtai and the others had received 40 to 50 invitations to hunt alone, and Wang Huaiyuan had even been invited to visit the British ISI.

During this period of time, he had been using his brain too much. Having been conserving his insomnia for a month, what he needed to do was to rest and recuperate quietly. Therefore, the Head of the Guards had refused all invitations.

Every morning, Xiao Letian would ride out of the city and take a stroll under the protection of the guards. Afterwards, he would drink his morning tea in the beautiful countryside and read the newspaper for the entire day.

At noon, he would have a taste of local cuisine in a restaurant in a small English town. Although the taste was not that good, it was more of a domestic taste and he did not have to think about it every day.

Two glasses of black beer, several servings of grilled fish, bread, and potatoes, and he would take a nap on the grass in the morning when the weather was fine.

In the afternoon, he would return to the City of London to check out the progress of the Chinese restaurant's renovation, or visit the museums, libraries, and planetarium restaurant. At night, the imperial chefs would prepare his delicacies, and after 9 o'clock, he would go to bed on time.

These days, Xiao Letian had been through a lot, especially with the continuous media coverage and the Protestantism's publicity, most of the citizens in Britain had a very good impression of him.

This allowed him to play the game with incomparable ease and satisfaction. Basically, no matter where he went, he would always be greeted with smiles and enthusiasm. He even attended a few banquets held by the local farmers and received a warm welcome from them.

On the morning of the fourth day, on the Salisbury Plains in Wales, England, Xiao Letian laid comfortably on a bed of sheets with flowers engraved on it, reading today's newspaper. Beside him stood a bunch of huge rocks.

A group of 50 soldiers, consisting of British and Chinese soldiers, walked on the prairie, vigilantly staring at everything around them. Even the well-chested Shepherd Girl was ruthlessly searched three times by them and was met with waves of laughter.

"This is what life is like!" Xiao Letian arched his back, and opened up the newspaper to block out the warm sunlight.

"The Prime Minister is stubbornly resisting, publicly accusing Gladstone of selling out the country? Aiyo, this old man's acting is pretty good. Let me see … Oh! Benjamin's Secretary-General has announced that Gladstone is prepared to sell the British colonial Mauritius to the Patriarch of the Hua Clan … "

"I knew they were going to cook this cold rice, tsk tsk tsk tsk... The Chinese are attempting to find a military base in the Indian Ocean. The Mauritius will become the ambushing base for Xiao Letian to outflank the Malacca … "

"F * ck …" "He really can be fooled. He really thinks the people of England are fools …"

Just as Xiao Letian was laughing at his clumsy performance, the sky suddenly darkened. Both of his hands moved the newspaper, and Xiao Letian's eyes immediately lit up, only to see a huge light blue dress appear in front of him.

"Oh, God! "What a slender thigh …"

"Is this the hat that the head of state of China should have? How can you stare at a lady's skirt so brazenly without blushing? "

was so frightened that he immediately sat up on the ground. "Esteemed empress, I am truly sorry, I really didn't know that you would suddenly appear so suddenly … And the guards? Are you all bored? "

The person who came was none other than the Queen of Austro-Hungarian Empire that Xiao Letian was familiar with, the Princess Cissie!

Princess Cissie smiled and shook her head, "No need to blame them, these guards can stop the shepherdess, but they can't stop me, I was the one who stopped them from making a sound …"

Sure enough, the guards from the Princess Cissie and their maids were holding back Xiao Letian's guards. The group of people retreated forty meters away, and no one dared to disturb them.

Xiao Letian did not dare delay and immediately jumped up, patting the dust and grass on his hands, "You really gave me a great surprise, I really did not expect you to come here."

"What's there to not think about?" "Great Stonehenge, if you like it, don't you allow me to like it too …"

That's right, Xiao Letian's resting spot today was the famous British Stonehenge. The tall and big rocks were arranged into a ring shape, attracting the attention of countless scholars.

The Princess Cissie caressed the rough boulders. "Salisbury's Ring, Ring-shaped Stone, Temple of the Sun, Prehistoric Stone Table, Stonehenge's Stone Bar..." "There are six or seven different names for the stone array. Some suspect that he is the temple of the Sun God, and some even say that he is the dining table of the giants …"

"What ideas do you have? Esteemed Eastern Führer, I know that your mind is different from ordinary people. There are often miraculous arguments that come up, and I really want to hear your opinion … "

Unknowingly, Xiao Letian was a little afraid of the woman in front of him. He subconsciously wanted to keep his distance from her, "Aiya, the Queen is making things difficult for me. I'm a Chinese, so I might not be able to understand European culture well enough …"

"Stop acting, give me a beautiful answer, I can make a statement in the newspaper this afternoon, proving that I want to buy Mauritius and not you!"

"Ok!" "Deal!" Xiao Letian immediately changed his expression into that of an evil merchant, and smiled until his eyes turned crooked.
