    It was already night when Xiao Yungui woke up. The fragrance was still lingering beside the soft couch, but the beauty had disappeared.  Xiao Yungui hurriedly stood up, only to see that the piece of cloth stained with plum blossoms on the white mattress had been cut off, and a purple jade hairpin and a letter were placed by the bedside.

    Xiao Yungui hurriedly opened the letter and read it, only to see that it read: "Xiao Lang sees words like faces. It is enough for me to serve you for one night. This is my voluntary thing. You don't have to worry about it. You."  You are a hero in this world, and you should not give up your great cause for me. I feel that I have failed to be kind to the Queen of the West, so I will go to Guangdong. After the incident, I will go to England with Clifford, and you don¡¯t have to look for me.  It will only increase your troubles."

    Seeing this, Xiao Yungui couldn't help but shed tears. He didn't give anything, but he could be loved so deeply by a woman. How could he be embarrassed?  The sheets stained red must have been cut off by Li Xuanji. A woman is always more concerned about her first time. Xiao Yungui was stunned for a moment. There was only one thought in his mind.  , Li Xuanji is his woman, and he does not want Li Xuanji to go to England with Clifford.

    At that moment, Xiao Yungui hurriedly put on his clothes, put the letter and the purple jade hairpin in his arms, and shouted loudly: "Tang Erniu!"

    Tang Erniu outside the study hurriedly responded: "My subordinate is here!" As soon as he finished speaking, King Xi hurriedly walked out and asked immediately: "Where is Miss Li?"

    Tang Erniu said: "Miss Li left an hour ago." Tang Erniu was loyal to the King of the West. He always stayed outside and knew what happened to the King of the West and Li Xuanji inside, but he kept his loyalty.  He would not interfere with what the guards should do and what the King of the West had not ordered.

    Xiao Yungui said angrily: "Why didn't you stop her?"

    Tang Erniu was slightly startled and said, "Miss Li said she had to go back to pack her bags, so she left first and asked me not to wake up King Xi."

    Xiao Yungui stamped his feet and said, "How can you listen to her? Stop talking nonsense and follow me!" After that, he hurried out of the house.  Tang Erniu followed behind and called out: "King Xi, your hood!"

    After leaving the mansion, Xiao Yungui ignored the fact that he was not wearing his hood, jumped on a horse and galloped towards Li Xuanji's residence. Tang Erniu and dozens of personal guards followed him in a hurry.

    When I arrived at Li Xuanji¡¯s residence, I found out that Li Xuanji had followed Clifford to the dock.  Xiao Yungui took Tang Erniu and others and hurried to Jianghaiguan Terminal. When they arrived at the pier, they found out that Li Xuanji and Clifford had left Shanghai half an hour ago on the "Antelope" merchant ship of Jardine Matheson.

    Xiao Yungui's face was horribly livid. He said nothing and just stood blankly on the pier, looking at the roaring Huangpu River illuminated by boat fires at night.  Tang Erniu was a little puzzled.  It has been decided for a long time that Miss Xuanji will go to Guangzhou, and she will return in half a year or in a few months at most. Why is the King of the West so sad?

    It was windy along the river, and after standing there for a while, I felt a bone-chilling chill.  Tang Erniu couldn't help but went up and said softly: "King Xi, let's go back first. If you don't want Miss Xuanji to go to Guangzhou, just send a boat south to pick her up tomorrow."

    Xiao Yungui's face was still livid. He didn't answer Tang Erniu's words, but asked: "What can I do if I chase him back?"

    Tang Erniu was speechless. He also knew the temper of the Queen of the West, and she couldn't shake a grain of sand in her eyes. All the female officials around the King who were interested in the King were dismissed by her.  Miss Xuanji was one of them. When the King of the West was in Suzhou, she was transferred to serve in the Women's Pavilion of the Administrative Department of Shanghai. The King of the West came to Shanghai.  She was sent to Guangzhou again.  The news that the Queen of the West would not allow the Queen to accept the Queen has spread. As the bodyguard of the King of the West, Tang Erniu is more aware of his husband and wife's affairs. Perhaps this is the price that must be paid for marrying the Flower of Peace.

    Tang Erniu thought for a while and then whispered: "Prince Xi, why not let Guangzhou Baizetang secretly bring Miss Xuanji back and place her there secretly without letting the Queen of the West know about it."

    After hearing this, Xiao Yungui's face softened slightly and he began to think. Bai Zetang always only took orders from himself. Although Hong Yun'er's intelligence department also had people in Guangzhou, they were not under the jurisdiction of Bai Zetang. As long as this matter was done,  The secret might really be able to hide it from Hong Yun'er.

    After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yungui asked: "Has Tong Qiangsheng returned from Yangzhou?"

    Tang Erniu said hurriedly: "We arrived in the evening and the King of the West was still sleeping peacefully, so he went back first."

    Xiao Yungui flew on his horse and said, "Go back and summon Tong Qiangsheng to see me immediately!"

    ¡­¡­

    Tong Qiangsheng finished his dinner at the sub-rudder of Bai Zetang in Shanghai and was listening to his subordinates report some recent information on Shanghai.  When he came back this time, the King of the West sent him a special task to complete. The King of the West asked him to personally select a group of people to follow the foreign merchant ships south to Guangzhou. Recently, the Tiandihui in Foshan, Guangdong and other places were also brewing uprisings. The King of the West  If he wants him to go south to contact and start a rebellion, it would be best if he can also recruit the Guangdong Tiandi Society.?Used.

    But what puzzled Tong Qiangsheng was that the women¡¯s pavilion sent Li Xuanji to go with her this time. Li Xuanji was a very talented woman, close to the Queen of the West, and good friends with the foreigner Clifford.  Tong Qiangsheng initially said that Li Xuanji was here to help him contact foreigners, but then he thought it was wrong. He could also contact foreigners in Guangzhou, so why bother a little girl traveling thousands of miles south?  Finally, Tong Qiangsheng came to the conclusion that there were people in the West Palace who did not want to see Li Xuanji stay in Shanghai.

    Analyzing intelligence is a habit of Tong Qiangsheng. Since the establishment of Bai Zetang, there have been dedicated people in the hall to analyze all kinds of intelligence. After all, the information they gathered is only superficial, and a lot of information needs to be analyzed together to solve the whole thing.  Clearly, intelligence analysis is also an important skill for Baizetang members.

    However, after analyzing this matter, the final finger pointed at the two most powerful people in the West Palace. Tong Qiangsheng had already ordered the personnel who had reviewed the intelligence analysis not to spread a single word, and they all kept it in their stomachs.  Tong Qiangsheng made up his mind, pretending not to know anything and doing everything according to King Xi's wishes.

    After his subordinates reported the latest information, Tong Qiangsheng discovered that there was nothing new in it. The feud between the Manchus and the foreign powers deepened, and the leaked details of the transactions between the West Palace and foreigners in Guangzhou were also deliberately done by the King of the West, Tong Qiangsheng. In this way  As expected, it made the Manchus and foreigners even more difficult to deal with.  Tong Qiangsheng was still thinking about whether to add more firepower. He heard that several new French missionaries had arrived in Guangzhou. These few people were very restless and had always wanted to go deep into the mainland to preach. Maybe something could be done about this matter.

    While he was still thinking, his subordinate came to report and the King of the West summoned him to meet him. Tong Qiangsheng immediately got up, straightened his clothes, took two relatives and casually went to the Admiralty Department in Shanghai. Tong Qiangsheng knew that he would go there tomorrow.  In Guangzhou, the King of the West must have given some details.

    Soon they arrived at the temporary residence of the Western King next to the Admiralty Secretary in Shanghai. Tong Qiangsheng was led by Tang Erniu to the Western King's study for a private meeting.

    After not seeing each other for several months, King Xi seemed to have become even thinner and looked very bad. After Tong Qiangsheng saluted, he secretly glanced at King Xi, wondering if King Xi was still upset?  This man is not even afraid of pure monsters and foreigners, who can embarrass him?  Tong Qiangsheng understood instantly and did not think about anyone else except Queen Xi.

    Xiao Yungui didn¡¯t know that his long career as an agent had changed Tong Qiangsheng a lot. This person now likes to analyze others when he comes into contact with them. Xiao Yungui didn¡¯t know that he had also been secretly analyzed by Tong Qiangsheng.

    "After arriving in Guangzhou, you immediately changed your clothes and sneaked into Foshan, and met up with Chen Kai, Li Wenmao, He Lu and others from the Tiandihui over there. You also knew that there was an uprising in the Tiandihui over there and you wanted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.  The capital of the dynasty has been dead for hundreds of years, so why should it be restored? You can win over Chen Kai as much as possible. He is not a stubborn person. If there are a few of his subordinates who insist on refusing to submit, you might as well get rid of them secretly.  , but remember to do it cleanly and don't let others take advantage of it." Xiao Yungui explained each sentence absently: "Li Kaifang has started to launch the Fujian campaign. If the uprising in Guangdong goes well, Li Kaifang will take advantage of the situation and go south.  Once an uprising occurs in Guangdong, be sure not to besiege Guangzhou for the time being. Firstly, Qingyao still has a navy in Guangdong and cannot besiege it. Secondly, the foreign consul in Guangzhou is Park Li, who still has some prejudices against our Taiping Army.  Before joining forces with Li Kaifang, you must let Chen Kai wait patiently."

    Xiao Yungui said something, and Tong Qiangsheng responded. Finally, Xiao Yungui said: "And when you went south this time, you picked up several businesses in Guangzhou where the Qingyao Hunan Army did business with foreigners. Then Li Kaifang wanted to attack Guangzhou.  , there¡¯s no point keeping those business names anymore.¡±

    Tong Qiangsheng nodded and said: "We have been keeping an eye on those shops, but they have always been looked after by foreigners, because these shops can communicate with the trade routes in other places in Qingyao, so the foreigners are still protecting them.  The lower class have never dared to touch it.¡±

    Xiao Yungui said calmly: "Once trouble breaks out in Guangdong, the foreigners won't care about so many things. I guess we may send troops to fight with the foreigners northward. You don't have to worry about the foreigners. Later we will have a series of battles."  Since Fuzhou, Xiamen, and Guangzhou ports are all going to be captured at the same time, why would you still worry about Qingyao¡¯s few businesses?¡±

    Tong Qiangsheng responded, and Xiao Yungui paused for a moment before saying, "One more thing, I asked Tang Erniu to go to Guangzhou with you. You help Tang Erniu find Li Xuanji. You must take it."  She brought it back."

    Tong Qiangsheng raised his eyebrows slightly. The King of the West wants to take back the people the Queen of the West wants to drive away. What does this mean?

    Seeing that Tong Qiangsheng was a little shocked, Xiao Yungui said warmly: "You know this, I know it, it's fine as long as Tang Erniu knows it, no fourth person can know it, do you understand?"

    Tong Qiangsheng said quickly: "I understand." Then he secretly cursed, as expected, the King of the West and the Queen of the West because of thisSomething is not right.  Tong Qiangsheng followed and said with some embarrassment: "King Xi, that girl Xuanji is very close to the foreigner Clifford. If girl Xuanji refuses to follow us, my subordinates are worried that the foreigner will protect her."

    Xiao Yungui snorted and said: "Are you, Bai Zetang's secret agent, just for a living? Do you want me to teach you about this kind of thing? Isn't it true that you pretended to be kidnapped and blackmailed, and found a female corpse to replace it? What if Xuanji refuses?  If I come back with you, I¡¯ll tie her back too!¡±

    Tong Qiangsheng hurriedly said yes. In fact, he had just heard about the matter and already had seven or eight ways to deal with it. But he still wanted Xiao Yungui's word, because Li Xuanji's identity might be different in the future.  Tong Qiangsheng didn't want to offend her, nor did he want to offend King Xi or Queen Xi.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
