C20 Mutual probing
Seeing that Lang Ka and the rest had arrived, Zhang Jie stood up with Huai Te and the other three British Emissary s, and spoke out first: "Is there anything you need this king for?"
Lang Ka stood behind Yu Xianhe and observed the tent for a while before saying, "Lord Prince of Germany, I am Lang Ka, and this is my master, Senior Yu Xianhe."
Hearing Lang Ka's words, Yu Xianhe felt a little depressed, but in front of Jun Mo Xie and the rest, he still put her hands behind her back in coordination, and nodded towards Chen Ji and the rest, and whispered: "This commoner Yu Xianhe greets Your Highness Prince of Germany."
Huai Te was very curious, why did this young Yu Xianhe seem to be called a "senior" by the people named Lang Ka, and why was she the master of Lang Ka …
In other words, his strength had already been exposed. Now that he had barged into the camp with Yu Xianhe, if he wanted to make the other party fear the strength of his side, he had to make sure that the other party did not know the background of his side. Therefore, he called Yu Xianhe his master and let others think that Yu Xianhe's ability was even above his.
As a result, the other party did not know their background and did not dare to act rashly.
He carefully observed Yu Xianhe and Lang Ka, and at the same time, did not forget to return the greetings: "The children of the martial arts world do not bother with trifling matters, although I am from Prince of Germany, in this place of concealment and in this tent, we are all friends.
As he said this, he felt a sense of shock …
Sard had never mentioned it before, but Yu Xianhe was Lang Ka's master. He had thought that Yu Xianhe was only Lang Ka's companion, and Lang Ka was the real deal, but now it seemed that this red-faced fellow with his hands behind his back was actually even deeper than Lang Ka.
Of course, he was also shocked by Lang Ka's situation. Indeed, it was as Sard had said, Lang Ka did not have a soul!
In the past, he had come into contact with "people" who did not have souls, such as the walking corpses that were manipulated by the remnants of the white lotus, or the puppets in the hands of the puppet masters in southern Yunnan. However, those were not the spirited living beings like Lang Ka, at most, they could only be considered as the tools of others.
Lang Ka was different. However, he could not see through Lang Ka's true strength. He could only see that Lang Ka did not have a soul, and was extremely clear-headed.
"Sard is not lying. Lang Ka is indeed not simple, moreover, this master Yu Xianhe who has no idea of the way is here." he thought worriedly.
Because he was afraid of Lang Ka and Yu Xianhe's abilities, he could only politely greet them and get his subordinates to serve them tea.
Lang Ka made a "please" gesture towards Yu Xianhe. Yu Xianhe understood and sat on the chair beside the frame, while Lang Ka stood behind him, trying to show that Yu Xianhe was his master.
After drinking the tea, Yu Xianhe looked at Lang Ka behind him, and Lang Ka immediately spoke out: Your Highness, these British are here, is there anything you need?
Huai Te's face reddened. Not knowing how to deal with it, he opened his mouth and said, "Ask them, they are members of the Royal Geographical Society, specially here to help the Daqing in surveying and mapping their territory."
Lang Ka unhappily let out a "Oh" before suddenly noticing the unconscious Lama that was lying on the table behind the frame …
Eh? Why was he here?
Lang Ka recognized this Lama. When he was in Zhongba River Temple, Lang Ka had seen him before, but he didn't know his name.
Seeing that Lang Ka's attention was attracted to the tent by Tu Dengduoji, the frame that was carried by him hurriedly patted the Earth Dun who was sleeping soundly, who suddenly woke up. After looking at the situation within the tent, he stood up embarrassedly.
"Why are you here?" Lang Ka asked.
Tun Deng scratched his head: "Big brother Lang Ka, all of the masters and fellow disciples in the temple have fled. I don't have anywhere to go by myself, so I just followed Prince of Germany to explore together …"
Lu Li was worried that Tuden would slip up, so he quickly continued, "I think this kid is quite smart. He's lonely, so I decided to take him along with me to map the Tibetan lands."
Lang Ka nodded his head. Seeing that Tun Deng was not harmed by the techniques used, he turned his attention to the frame.
He felt a great power from the frame carrier and knew that the frame carrier was not an easy opponent, so he said, "Your Highness, why do we need the British to be involved in surveying and mapping the territory? You should be aware of the war that happened in post-Tibetan area a while ago, right? "
The leader of the British Army was a guy named Rong He Peng. As the prince of the Great Qing Kingdom, I am also indignant about that matter, but this time, Huai Te's envoys did not come to invade the hidden grounds. They received the approval of the Herba Euphorbiae for their surveying and mapping work, so it is not appropriate for Huai Te's envoy to represent the King of the British Empire in helping the Daqing in surveying and mapping.
Lang Ka pointed at Huai Te and the other three, he could tell with a glance that they were just four ordinary British men, they were neither soldiers nor necromancer s.
Even though Lang Ka hated the British, he knew that he shouldn't kill these four British Emissary s to vent his anger.
Of course, Lang Ka did not know the real identity of the person holding the frame. He thought that carrying the frame would only be a simple Prince of Germany, he never would have imagined that carrying the frame would work hand in hand with Sard, and also split up to be responsible for surveying and mapping.
However, Lang Ka felt that since he and Yu Xianhe had already arrived here, they couldn't just leave like this. I already know about the Twelve Subduing Demons Temple …
The frames introduced Huai Te and the others to Lang Ka, emphasizing that they were only members of the Royal Geographical Society.
Lang Ka shook hands with Huai Te and the others, they could not be rude — — We are a nation of etiquette.
Huai Te had only heard of Lang Ka's name. He thought that Lang Ka, who could fight one on one, was a three-headed, six-armed demon, but he never thought that Lang Ka would have such an image — Lang Ka was wearing a tattered and tattered set of clothes that had not been washed for who knows how long. His skin was white and his body was tall and thin.
Lang Ka had his own plans, which he had to follow with etiquette.
"Envoy Huai Te, I do not deny that your Royal Geographical Service has a deep knowledge of topography and other aspects, but Tibet is the land of my Daqing, it does not seem appropriate for your people to be in charge of surveying and mapping it."
Huai Te's smile froze on his face. He naturally understood the meaning of Lang Ka's words, and Lang Ka had used his genuine London accent to communicate with him.
Huai Te thought that as a British ambassador, he could not lose face. He spoke in standard Chinese: "I also know that it is beyond our authority to help your country in surveying and mapping the territory, but this matter was agreed upon between the King of Great Britain and the Son of Heaven. As a runner, we dare not neglect our duties."
Seeing Huai Te speak in Chinese, Lang Ka also replied him, "Even though you have received orders from the king, but you have hidden yourself away in a place far away. If I were to keep you all here, would your king be able to save your lives? Prince of Germany, you have come here on the orders of the Emperor, but if I, Lang Ka, do not agree to let you continue to cooperate with British in any mapping, what will happen to you? "
This was already a blatant threat. Although Lang Ka and Yu Xianhe were at the cleaning up's camp, they were not at all pleased …
Huai Te's face became uglier and uglier. He looked at Suo Mao, not knowing how to reply to Lang Ka, but he naturally knew that Lang Ka had once heavily injured an elite under Rong He Peng's hands.
He suppressed his anger and said with a smile on his face, "You Master and disciple are so unyielding. This king may be indebted to the Emperor, but I do not consider this matter important. I need to report to Old Buddha and the Herba Euphorbiae to see what their intentions are."
This voice, Framing had already made concessions, which meant that he had to ask Old Buddha for instructions.
Lang Ka did not let him off, "Alright, Your Highness, I can understand that. Go ahead and report this to Old Buddha, before Old Buddha gives any instructions, you must stop the surveying work, otherwise, don't blame me for going on a killing spree!"
When Lang Ka emphasized the last four words, Huai Te suddenly felt a chill, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
A mere commoner actually dared to act so impudently in front of the prince. If it wasn't for the fact that the matter regarding the Twelve Monastery was extremely important and Shifting Fist didn't wish to break out of his skin at this time, he really wanted to test the depths of Lang Ka and his master Yu Xianhe's strength.
However, as a Prince of Germany, he was used to the officials' swindling.
Therefore, Sui Mao could only stand up and walk to Huai Te's side. He regretfully said, "I'm very sorry, envoy Huai Te. This king thinks that Lang Ka is right, I have to report this matter to Herba Euphorbiae and ask him to come here to make a decision."
Holding Huai Te's hand, Huai Te felt that the coldness from before had disappeared.
Lang Ka stared at the frame, a look of shock flashed past his eyes, he did not expect that the ability he had used to lift the frame was even greater than what he had expected.
Seeing that the mission had been compromised, Huai Te naturally did not dare to continue. He immediately patted his chest to indicate that he would not carry out any more investigations before the Emperor gives his approval.
This caused Lang Ka to lose face, and he knew that it was enough to stop. He cupped his hands to express his gratitude once more: "Many thanks to Your Highness for taking the overall situation into consideration."
After another round of coaxing, Yue Yang and Li Yu came to a consensus: Before the Emperor gives his approval, all surveying and mapping work in the hidden territory will be stopped. British's actions are regulated by the laws of the Daqing and it is not possible for him to act rashly.
This kind of consensus was a little excessive for Huai Te.
They could only smile and agree. They did not want to become enemies with Lang Ka.
As for Yu Xianhe who had been sitting on her chair and pretending to be an expert without a word since they had entered, he was still standing tall and straight. Seeing that Lang Ka and the others had reached a consensus, she slightly nodded and said softly, "So it's like this, very good."
He tried his best to use the standard official language to say these four words, but he still managed to reveal a strong Shandong accent. Tu Dengduoji, who was beside him, suddenly laughed …
"Tuden, don't be rude." Frame loading path.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just that I feel that this Mr. Yu Xianhe's Chinese is not as good as I say …"
Yu Xianhe tried her best to maintain her image as an expert, but in her heart, she wanted to give Tu Deng a good beating …
Lang Ka was satisfied with their teamwork, and said to Yu Xianhe: "Master, let's go back?"
Yu Xianhe nodded and did not say anymore, he was afraid that Tu Deng would reveal his weakness again.
After that, Yu Xianhe stood up and walked out of the tent with her head held high. Lang Ka followed behind him respectfully, and when they were about to leave, Lang Ka turned around and said to Zhang Mo, "I hope Your Highness will keep your promise."
and the others stood up to send them off.
