Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Orchid was a big palace maid that Ci Xi needed to use by his side, so he had to give his face on a daily basis. Upon hearing his voice, he hurriedly opened the door.

"This is a cup of ginseng soup from the Old Buddha's Imperial Dining Hall. I gave it to this fool …" Let him heal his body! " Speaking up to here, Orchid actually smiled while blushing. He waved his hand and the young palace maid brought the ginseng soup over.

Li Lianying slapped her thigh, and quickly reached out to grab Orchid by the shoulder. She hugged his and kissed her on the cheek: "My good girl, so you're saying that I passed the test?"

Orchid extended his hand and pushed Li Lianying's cheek to the side, then said with disdain, "Why are you not using the teeth brush that the foreigners sent, to wipe your teeth, you stink air …"

"You're so lucky to have picked out such a Lao Ai …" Do you think that woman is willing to kill such a treasure? "

"If it were any other man, they would have been executed long ago …"

Li Lianying clapped her hands while laughing. She was really a donkey after all. Even if sshe lost, he would still be a donkey after all … "Because this donkey had gotten into trouble. In the end, it was this donkey who saved his life …"

"Hehe …" How can you be reasonable! "

"Then what does Old Buddha mean by this?" Li Lianying asked carefully.

Orchid despised Li Lianying for being unclean, but he could not show it on the surface. She intentionally stroked his hair and said with a profound expression, "Old Buddha, you mean … "How could I dare to speak carelessly …"

"Ouch …" Look at how useless I am... "Recently, I've received a new set of good pieces. The pure gold inlay is the Red Sapphire Jewels from the Lion Country, which were forged by the top craftsmen of the Chinese race …"

"Send it to sister tonight …"

Upon hearing that there was a bribe, the Orchid laughed, "Aiyo … Old Buddha said to lock him up here for three days, and then think of a way to send him out of the palace three days later … "

"Serve up the food and drink well …" these three days, Old Buddha has got to use it! "

"When I head back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deliver the decree, I will reward Isha with a first rank guard. In the future, she will be residing in the Qixiangmen!"

"Understood, understood. Sister, take care …"

Li Lianying turned around and looked at Isha: "Hehe …" Foolish brat, your luck is about to start. Your good day is about to come! "Tell me where your home is, and I'll send someone to send you a letter …"

"We can't let them worry about us … Come, come, stand up... Are there any difficulties at home? "

"Ouch …" I will get the butler to send you ten thousand silver this afternoon. In the future, you will definitely benefit from being with the Old Buddha … "

Although Li Tuo looked calm on the surface, he was actually more agitated than anyone else. Last night in duty room, he pretended to be asleep but actually didn't sleep at all.

When he received the news that he was safe, Li Tuo staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Li Tuo moved a small Maza and sat at the entrance of a house in Military Intelligence Service, basking in the sun. He asked Little Sura, who had just brought him food, for a bowl of soy milk.

He did not even need to hold the bowl with one hand while the other held the big cake and began to eat it ferociously!

The warm autumn sun was comfortable on his body. The eunuchs, guards, and low-ranked officials all took the initiative to salute or nod in greeting when they saw him.

This Military Intelligence Service's new dish, Red Zhang Jing, was really red, even redder than the soy sauce and tofu juice!

After a while, he saw General Gui Six and Yi Xuan, who were escorted by a group of eunuchs, coming around from the south. Li Tuo did not want to show off, so he stood up and hid behind the door to peep, and also stuffed the leftover youtiao into his mouth.

"Can Ci Xi still take care of national affairs today? This body is good! "Your endurance is pretty good …"

While they were talking, Li Tuo saw a friend in the teleportation office who was also a small official. The two of them had exchanged information on other people before, and they had drank together several times.

This friend had just brought the two princes into Yangxin Palace and was rushing back. Li Tuo dropped his bowl and wiped his hands as he walked a few steps forward to catch up.

Li Tuo stopped his friend at the corner of the steps in the Center Palace, looking around to see if anyone had come to ask.

"Old Wang, what happened?" "You don't look too good. Could it be that there was a change in the capital's public opinion last night?"

Old Wang lowered his voice and said, "The capital is fine. He spent the entire night discussing the case of Salonga, and of course, your promotion …"

"This morning, the news of the Stellar Gorge's great victory has been spread. The people of the capital are all happy about this …"

Li Tuo asked in puzzlement: "Then why are the two princes' faces so ugly?"

"Hey …" Don't mention it. I received a message from Xi'an at around 3 o'clock this morning. "Guess what?"

"No one would have thought that the His Majesty would actually send out his own batch of Expedition s … And it was the British Gordon who led the team over from Pamir's side … "

"They came here from the old setae and the territory of the rebel army. "They actually managed to bypass the rebel army's territory …"

"I've been rescued from the snow by the cavalry of Zathaktu Khan. They're heading south straight for the Guizhou …" I think he will be reunited with Zuo Zongtang in less than ten days! "

"He's gone, he's gone, let's not talk anymore …" I still need to go back to the telegraph office and wait for news.

Li Tuo blinked his eyes, thinking that things were not looking good. His Majesty did not have a personal authority, so he sent out ambassadors to comfort the Chinese warlord, who had the authority of the army.

Go, go, go home and hide for two days, anyway today is my vacation!

Of course, Li Tuo knew about the various channels in the court. It was better not to ask too much about the two Princes' relationship, as it had already been enough for the past two days.

Li Tuo returned to duty room to pack his things, and turned his head to leave without saying goodbye to his other colleagues!

When Li Tuo returned to the new mansion in the elephant nose pit, he realized that Li Lianying was not lying to him.

The butler outside the palanquin quickly lowered his palanquin and said softly, "Master …" The front door is all waiting to see you.

"The gifts are already over a foot high …" Will you see me? "

"I saw his grandmother... They were all mediocre officials, and seeing that there were no benefits would only bring them trouble. They quickly took a detour around the back door to return home … Remember, don't accept any gifts from these officials! "

"You don't know anything at all. Do you know how to give gifts?"

What Li Tuo said was not wrong at all. If the real officials did not say that he was the one who came to see them with the gift slip, then they would have to make their own stewards or brokers show themselves.

When the gifts were sent, the broker had to explain the situation clearly. Furthermore, the giver and the giver couldn't be political enemies. They had to give each other a chance to think.

That was what people called being a gatekeeper. When they met today, they were the idle officials of the capital. They had no gatekeeper, and even borrowed money to send him off.

Such a person's silver was stained with feces. Whoever touched him would stink all over!

Li Tuo, who had returned to his study from the back door, comfortably brewed a cup of tea and chased away the maid who was serving him.

In the end, he took out a stack of Xuan paper from the bottom layer of the cage.

Flipping open the first page, a clear line of large ink words, "Official Records", appeared before his eyes!

Li Tuo began to quickly write with all his might, "…" It wasn't strange for government officials to give away women or men … "If we want to send him off, we'll have to send away a weird man like Lao Ai …"

He really did not expect that Li Tuo was actually a literary person, who was secretly recording everything that happened in the official field of late Qing, and then secretly composing it into a book!
