Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

With a crisp smack, the wine cup in Ferdinand's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. As for Bernanke, he was not feeling much better, the remaining wine in the cup had all been scattered all over his pants.

"My God! Assassinate the Emperor! No wonder you're offering such a high price... "Why? Why is that?"

A scoundrel was still a scoundrel. Even if he had killed someone before, he would only be a slightly more daring scoundrel. This kind of person did not receive any professional training in killing.

Although this era contained great changes, the mindset of the masses was still very strong. The mysterious pressure exuded by the traditional monarch still enveloped the hearts of everyone present.

They looked down upon the Great Qing, looked down upon the foolish Qing Empire army, including the braided Chinese citizens. In the eyes of these foreigners, the Qing Dynasty that was left behind was just a race slightly higher than African black people.

Killing a few commoners and merchants of the Great Qing was nothing for them. They did not have any burdens, and even some low-level officials were nothing in the eyes of these foreigners.

But how could the Emperor kill him? Don't look at the fact that the English and French had captured the Beijing and burned them to ashes. However, if Emperor Xian Feng was still in the Forbidden City, these foreign devils would have all been respectful to him.

The imperial power had ruled over the human race for thousands of years. This kind of habitual thinking couldn't be wiped out in a day or two.

The mission of assassinating the Emperor, Tongzhi, had scared the both of them stiff. The only person who could control his emotions was the veteran Di Ao, even though his hands were shaking, his expression was still calm.

"Three hundred thousand pounds in exchange for the life of the emperor, I really don't know if this price is considered cheap …" But why? "How did you get involved in this conspiracy …"

Ao Lifu frowned, "Can you ask such a question? "Don't you understand the rules? Take someone's money to get rid of their trouble. I told you before, since you chose to accept the price, since you heard about the mission, there's no turning back!"

"Who do you care who my employer is? Damn it, if I knew who is behind this, I would not have met you directly! "

As they were speaking, the door suddenly burst open, the black muzzles of the guns surrounding Di Ao and the other two.

Ao Lifu said regretfully, "Old friend, you know how big this matter is … This has already completely exceeded the scope of our friendship. I can only follow the rules now. There's only one conclusion for you to back off now … That would be death! "

"Don't even think about having any thoughts. From now on, you all won't be able to leave our control. Don't try to secretly report this to the police or anything …" Ao Lifu sighed and said, "You all have families after all, you better not cause any trouble for your families!"

Only then did Di Ao realize that his life had already reached a dead end where he could not turn back. There was no turning back or drawing the bow, no matter if he advanced or retreated, it would all be the end of his life.

Ao Lifu looked at his old friend who had turned pale white. "I've reminded you many times before that this quest is guaranteed death. I've given you a chance to leave, but you didn't choose to …"

"I have no other choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward!" Think about it carefully, the Tongzhi Emperor and his master, Xiao Letian, are mortal enemies with the French Emperor.

"I know that France doesn't care about this level of small defeat, but failure is still a failure after all. This has affected the glorious image of French Emperor … I remember that you were a loyal admirer of the Napoleon family in the army, and now it is your turn to be loyal and devoted to the France, why did you retreat? "

Suddenly, he extended his hand out and grabbed his old friend's wrist. "My brother, you and I have fought before, but on account of our comrades, can you tell me the truth?"

"Do you have the's secret service backing you? Am I still working for my country?"

In truth, Ao Lifu was not a very high level spy, he was one of the lowest level executors. He did not know who the big boss was, but this time, during the process of issuing the order, he heard some information that was unintentionally revealed by his superiors.

He did not know that someone was misleading him, making him feel that he was actually working for a French power. On top of that, there was a life and death conflict between Napoleon III and Xiao Letian, which allowed Ao Lifu to come to a conclusion.

"Mm …" Di Ao! "You know the rules of the intelligence department. I can't give you a conclusive answer, but from my judgement, your conjecture is very close to the truth …"

"Forget it, stop making things difficult for me. Just think about it carefully. Is it bad for the French Emperor? Isn't it your duty to avenge the The French Empire? "

"By God! "Let's do it!" Di Ao's face revealed a vicious look: I have long disliked those Chinese people, but my motherland is being pestered by the enemies of Europe, I cannot split up and go on an expedition to meet the enemies!

"Since His Majesty wants me now, even if there isn't a commission, I will do it!"

"Good!" "From now on, the three of you will live in the White Goose. We'll bring the weapons and equipment and the plan of action very soon …"
