C11 Receive orders
Because he didn't have the authority, the light thread didn't dare to say anything to the culprit — — British.
In fact, the light thread Emperor had already seen from Fu Changqing's report the ferocious name that the Tibetan had given to Rong He Peng, the "Butcher of the Snow Region" …
"Go, return to your Great Britain. Daqing will not give you any explanation. The executioner I know of is a soldier from British Empire! I will not give you any compensation. Scram! " Under Long Yan's rage, the young eunuch on the side trembled in fear.
However, the envoy revealed a smile, "Alright, your majesty. I will definitely pass on your words to my His Majesty the King."
He purposefully emphasized the words "from the beginning to the end", as if threatening the dignified Great Qing Kingdom's chosen one.
The envoy turned around and left. The light thread Emperor's expression became uglier and uglier, he really wanted to rush forward and pull out a blade from the waist of the imperial guard and chop down this foreign devil who had an arrogant aura.
"Hold on …"
Just as the emperor was hesitating on whether he should kill the envoy to vent his anger, a shrill voice came from the entrance of the palace hall.
"Old Buddha has arrived …"
Accompanied by a group of servants, the Empress Dowager Cixi appeared at the door of the throne room with a phoenix crown on her head. The British Emissary had just walked to the door and stood facing the Empress Dowager.
The empress dowager made a "please" gesture, signaling the emissary to return to the hall. The emissary revealed a satisfied smile, while the emperor lowered his head, not daring to meet her gaze.
Afterwards, the Empress Dowager came before the Dragon Throne and sat down very naturally. She glanced at the Emperor, then pointed to the letter that had been discarded by the Emperor. "What is this?"
His Majesty personally stooped down to pick up the letter and respectfully presented it to the empress dowager with both hands. After the empress dowager read it, she said, "Wailing Home is deeply ashamed and regretful that this matter happened under Wailing Home's jurisdiction, your people suffered heavy losses, and Wailing Home will definitely compensate you, as for the amount of the compensation, Wailing Home will need to discuss it with the ministers as well. I'm not afraid of your jokes, although my Daqing has been rich all these years of war and reparations, I really can't take out that much money.
The envoy understood that although the Old Buddha respected him greatly and promised to compensate and investigate Lang Ka, he did not specify the exact amount or duration of the compensation, nor did he clearly state how he would deal with the executioner Lang Ka.
Old Buddha's words that seemed to be full of respect was just to make things difficult for the others, to buy time, and to attack Tai Chi well.
However, the envoy knew that although he was nominally representing the British Empire, if he was disrespectful to the person who was truly in charge of the Great Qing Kingdom, he would definitely not be able to return to England.
Therefore, the envoy could only give Old Buddha a gentleman's salute before leaving bitterly.
After the messenger had left, the emperor gave him a thumbs up. "I should consider everything in terms of father by blood (how light thread addresses Tzu Hsi)."
The Old Buddha nodded his head, "You, as the Great Qing Kingdom's monarch, you should learn more. How can a country's master be angry so easily? Those wolf cub are truly hateful, but we can't beat them, so we can only swallow our grievances. If you feel wronged, then Wailing Home is also a coward, I wonder how long our Great Qing Kingdom can last … "
As he said that, Old Buddha covered her face with her hands and started crying.
The Emperor understood the difficulties of the Old Buddha. He understood that the power the Old Buddha displayed in front of the foreigners was just an act.
Very quickly, the Old Buddha returned back to normal, and said: "This matter cannot be dragged on, if we cannot properly handle the wolf's ambitions, it is very likely that they have an excuse to send troops to suppress our Daqing, so, we better send someone to investigate."
The Emperor said, "Minister Fu Changqing, who is stationed in Tibet, is young and has great achievements.
The Old Buddha shook her head: "A Blessed One is indeed capable, but his identity is insufficient, let your cousin go. The Prince of Germany has always been looking forward to the location of the treasure, the Wailing Home asked him for his opinion, to see if he could take on this responsibility."
...
After hearing that the Old Buddha had been summoned overnight, the Left Protector, who had just dealt with the traitors who had snuck into the manor, the Left Protector and the great thief Jiang Yang, immediately changed into clean clothes. Throwing away the bloodstained clothes, they rushed over to the throne room.
Although he was not afraid of the emperor, he was, from the bottom of his heart, still very afraid of the Old Buddha. The Old Buddha was the true ruler of an empire, and he had heard that someone had recently reported to the Old Buddha about the person who carried the prince in his mansion. The Old Buddha was slightly dissatisfied …
"Rise." The Old Buddha said.
Only then did the Emperor stand up and opened his mouth, "A few days ago, British Army invaded Tibet, killing and robbing in secret was a heinous crime, but he was heavily injured by a shepherd named Lang Ka. British wanted Great Qing Kingdom to give him an explanation, Fu Changqing, who was hidden here, would not be able to accomplish this task, I don't know how Prince of Germany …"
I understand what the Emperor meant, and I know that Old Buddha is summoning me tonight. This shows that Old Buddha already has a plan, so I took the initiative to submit to him. "Please rest assured, Old Buddha and Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter thoroughly without fail!"
Old Buddha: "You can go investigate. As for whether or not you can investigate it clearly, that isn't important. It's time to make those bastards suffer."
The Old Buddha meant for him to make a fool out of himself and give the British devils an explanation.
"This official accepts the decree!" Framing righteousness said.
"Hurry up and go, it'll save you the time of messing around in the mansion." Old Buddha spoke in a very soft voice, but when she heard her displeasure, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
The Old Buddha stood up and left the throne room. Only then did the emperor go to the side of the carriage and support the Prince of Germany, whose forehead was covered in blood, and say in an extremely low voice, "If we find that hero, don't make things difficult for him. Please thank him properly on behalf of our Emperor, saying that our Great Qing Kingdom needs people like him."
The order from the Old Buddha was for him to put on an act and investigate, whether or not she could investigate it clearly was not important. What the Herba Euphorbiae meant was that she needed to find the person named Lang Ka and call him "Hero".
It was a little difficult, but it was better to leave the capital first. The Old Buddha did not like him, and she had always been yearning for the mysterious power and secret buddhist teachings in Tibet. Now, she finally had the chance to study the Mizon's skills in Tibet. she thought.
In truth, Carrying Frames did not intend to investigate the British Army's theft. In his opinion, the Big Dipper and the Hidden Area were not Carried Frames, so why would he care about that? He just wanted to find Lang Ka and see if Lang Ka was as powerful as British had said. If he was, then it would be best if he could find a way to obtain Lang Ka's power.
...
A message came from Rong He Peng's military camp saying that "Military Advisor" Sard had disappeared.
Rong He Peng was extremely shocked. He had sent people to carefully search the vicinity of the encampment, but they were unable to find Sard's figure. After fleeing in a panic, Sard had used his soul to take over another person's body and recovered a small portion of his strength. However, he was still much weaker than when he was at his peak.
Deputy General Mai Ketangna did not plan to follow Rong He Peng's orders to look for Sard. From his point of view, Sard was an unorthodox expert, and after Sard appeared, his assistant general had become more and more insignificant. All his limelight had been taken away by Sard, and now that Sard had disappeared, Mai Ketangna felt that it was actually a good thing.
Of course, Mai Ketangna had thought of getting rid of the stumbling stone on his path, Sard, before, but after seeing Sard's ability, he did not dare think of doing anything to Sard.
Mai Ketangna who was pretending to search for Sard in the vicinity of the camp suddenly saw a letter …
Seeing that no one was around, he hid in the tent and peeked at the letter. When he finished, he was secretly delighted.
In the letter, Sard said that he was still preoccupied with the mysterious place and did not want to continue hiding in India. He decided to return to the place to continue studying the culture and seek the wealth of the place, and Sard said that because there were so many people under his command, if the group returned to Tibet, it would be easy for them to attract attention.
Of course, Mai Ketangna had seen Lang Ka's power, he thought that it would be best if this arrogant Sard died in the hands of Lang Ka, in case he went back into the army to fight for power and benefits.
In order to win Rong He Peng's favor, Mai Ketangna did not close the letter. Instead, he hurriedly found Rong He Peng and gave him the letter, pretending that he did not peek at the contents of the letter.
After reading Sard's letter and understanding Sard's thoughts, Rong He Peng did not send anyone to look for Sard, nor did he think of paying Mai Ketangna a compliment.
"Never mind, Sard isn't the same person as us. Let him be." Rong He Peng said in his heart.
It was true that Sard was the necromancer, but Rong He Peng was only a soldier. He was also known as the "Butcher of the Snow Region". They were not on the same side.
...
After returning to the Prince of Germany Residence, he went to find the butler to take care of matters after he left the capital. He asked his subordinates to chase away the beautiful singers and to disperse the guests at the Cloud Rain Witch Mountain in the guest rooms of the residence. Although the guests who were still in high spirits did not wish to leave, after seeing the cold look in their eyes, no one dared to say anything and obediently left.
As for the affairs of the family, there was nothing they could do. After all, he was just a prince with no real power. He was just an idle person maintained by the royal family.
After the servants tidied up their clothes and wrapped themselves around the frames, they pointed at two clever attendants, then the three of them took advantage of the fact that the sky was still dark, and left the Prince of Germany Mansion.
He just needed to bring two followers to serve him, there was no need for any guards — furthermore, just a few hours ago, the main force of white lotus was disguised as his bodyguards, with the intention of assassinating him.
On the other hand, if we were to simply follow their orders, we would be more at ease with our frames and not have to worry about any spies from the Tzu Hsi Old Buddha around. This was because Old Buddha and Herba Euphorbiae had given him different orders respectively, causing him to feel somewhat conflicted.
With his position, he could not offend Old Buddha, but he did not dare offend him. Although Herba Euphorbiae was currently just a puppet, Old Buddha was still old, and there was a possibility that one day … At that time, the authority of the Great Qing Kingdom would still fall into the hands of the Herba Euphorbiae.
He believed that the expert was bold, and was unwilling to be manipulated by others. More importantly, he did not wish for his followers to be mixed with the spies of Old Buddha or Herba Euphorbiae.
