    When Lebre saw someone making trouble in his restaurant, he immediately went up to try to persuade the two parties to separate. However, he never dreamed that he saw a strong British sailor being beaten to the ground by a seemingly thin Qing man.

    When the other two sailors saw their companion being knocked down, they screamed and tried to rush forward, but Lebre stopped him: "Damn British guys, get out of my restaurant, or I will sue you at your consulate." Lebre stopped him.  There was still a look in his eyes, and he realized that these Qing people were not simple. He didn't want to make things worse, at least not in his own restaurant.

    Ronglu, on the other hand, crossed his arms and looked at Li Chong and the woman in the dress with interest. This woman turned out to be Li Chong's sister?  Li Zhong, on the other hand, grabbed the woman's shoulders with excitement on his face and opened his mouth wide but couldn't say anything.  The woman in the dress looked at Li Chong blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

    At this time, Jonathan struggled to get up and looked at Li Zhong angrily, and shouted in a low voice: "You damn thing, how dare you hit me, let you know how powerful I am." After saying that, he picked up a chair and threw it at Li Zhong.  .

    Ronglu had been standing next to Li Chong. Seeing that he was agitated, he was afraid that he would not be able to dodge the blow. He quickly picked up a wine bottle from the bar of the restaurant and hit Jonathan on the head. Jonathan was immediately covered with blood.  After snorting, he fainted.

    Lebre was stunned. He thought that by holding the two sailors, the fight would be over. However, he did not expect that Jonathan would suddenly attack, and he could not stop him. He did not expect that Ronglu, who seemed to be gentle and gentle, would attack so harshly.

    At that moment, Lebre was stunned, and the two British sailors took the opportunity to escape from Lebre's control.  The two sailors roared and rushed towards Ronglu.  As soon as the two men moved, several of Ronglu's followers rushed forward like cheetahs. One of the followers put his knees on his throat and put a sailor on the ground.  Following another backhand grab, he pushed the other sailor to the ground. His movements were as fast as lightning and flowed smoothly without any hindrance.

    Lebre looked at a few people blankly. Sure enough, these Qing people were not easy to mess with.  Lebre has been in Guangzhou for a long time, and he knows that the social order in Guangzhou has always been chaotic, because the place is full of foreigners, the Qing government is in chaos, and all kinds of righteous people are everywhere in the name of resisting foreigners.  There are many bandits who fish in troubled waters and commit evil under the guise of protecting their homeland.  These people kidnap, extort, kill and steal money, regardless of whether they are Chinese or foreigners. Since there are many martial arts schools in Guangzhou and other places, many people know how to protect themselves with one or two martial arts skills.

    The British sailor who was knocked to the ground struggled to stand up and actually took out a revolver from behind.  He yelled at these people: "Damn it, all of you put your hands up. Don't move." Because of nervousness.  His hands were shaking violently.

    Ronglu squinted his eyes and took a look. It was really a revolver, but it was a bit rough in appearance. It seemed like a semi-finished product, but it looked like it could definitely kill someone.  It seems that this revolver should be the revolver invented by American Samuel Colt in 1835. This revolver is a flash cap type.  It uses a paper bullet with a caliber of 10.16 mm and a conical bullet, which is almost the same as that of later revolvers.

    Lebre was so numb that he could only pray to God that there wouldn¡¯t be a shootout in his restaurant.

    The sailor saw a room full of people who stopped moving for a moment.  I thought I was afraid of my own pistol, so I couldn't help but feel a little bolder. I didn't expect that at this moment, the door of the private room next to the restaurant bar opened, and a hoarse and cold voice said in a standard English London accent: "That's enough, Sergeant.  Put your gun away, this is a French restaurant."

    I saw a foreign man in his forties with a thin face, a slightly pointed chin, and two beards on his lips walking out, dressed like a standard British gentleman.  A voice with a bad tone behind him said: "Sir Baoling, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation why this happened."

    The speaker was a foreign young man in his twenties. He had blond hair and blue eyes. He was very handsome. He was dressed in a black tuxedo and exuded a strong aristocratic temperament.  He came forward from behind Sir Pauling, pointed at several sailors and continued: "Sir Pauling, I am disappointed with your ability to control your subordinates, and I hope you can solve it. My fianc¨¦e was actually raped by a British sailor.  He was bullied, but he was protected only with the help of several Qing people. I feel ashamed and shocked!"

    When the sailor saw Sir Baoling, he immediately stood up and saluted, and put away his pistol. However, he looked at the young man with great disdain. Who is this boy?

    Ronglu narrowed his eyes, British Governor?  Now in the Far East, it seems that only the person who serves as the Governor of Hong Kong can be called the Governor, and this person is called Bao Ling. Could it be that this man is Sir Bao Ling, the fourth Governor of Hong Kong and the Minister to China?

    That person is the Governor and Governor of Hong KongSir Bao Ling, Minister Plenipotentiary to China, because Britain has always used the Governor of Hong Kong as its minister in China, he often travels between Shanghai and Hong Kong.

    Bao Ling had a dark face. After hearing the accusation from the young man next to him, he did not argue. He just walked up to Ronglu and said in English: "Please forgive my soldiers for their rude behavior.  Uh, can you ask your partner to let go of my soldiers first?" Bao Ling still had a very unique vision, and he could tell at a glance that Ronglu was the leader of these people.

    Ronglu smiled slightly and nodded. Several relatives behind him stood up casually and let go of the British sailors who were pressing them down.  Two British sailors quickly went up and helped Jonathan up, who had fainted.

    Then Bao Ling looked at the three British sailors coldly and scolded: "Gentlemen, your actions have brought shame to our British Empire. You must apologize to this lady, and the most sincere apology!" Bao Ling said  The lady was naturally the Chinese woman in a dress. The two British sailors were stunned. Their most respected Governor-General actually wanted them to apologize to a Chinese woman?

    But the two sailors lowered their heads and did not dare to disobey the governor's order. They bowed and apologized to the woman in the dress.  Ronglu still squinted his eyes and kept looking at the young foreigner next to Bao Ling. Naturally, the British would not apologize to a Chinese woman because of the so-called gentlemanly demeanor. The main reason was the young man next to him. This young man  The person's identity seemed to be very unusual. Even Bao Ling had to give him some respect. Ronglu became even more curious about this person's identity.

    After apologizing.  The three British sailors were ordered to retreat. Two British sailors supported the fainted Jonathan and left the restaurant in dejection.  Following Bao Ling, he came to Lebre and said in a deep voice: "I'm very sorry, sir, for smashing things in your restaurant. You can send the bill to the British Consulate tomorrow and we will compensate you according to the price." Lebre quickly expressed his gratitude.

    While Bao Ling was talking to Lebre, the blond young man had already stepped forward and put his big hands on the slender waist of the woman in the dress.  Although Li Zhong had let go of his hand at this time and no longer grabbed the woman's shoulders, he saw that the blond foreigner actually held his sister's slender waist.  His eyes immediately burst into flames, and he stepped forward and shouted sternly: "Let her go!" Then he reached out with his right hand and tried to twist the foreigner's hand away.

    Fortunately, Ronglu acted quickly. He grabbed Li Zhong and said calmly: "Don't you see? This foreigner is your brother-in-law."

    Li Chong¡¯s eyes were as round as a cow¡¯s eyes.  He looked at the woman in the dress with a look of astonishment, and the woman's pretty face turned slightly red.  Turn slightly to one side.  He let go of the blond young man's hand, lowered his head slightly, and said in Chinese: "Brother, this is my fianc¨¦ Clifford." Then he said to Clifford in English: "Clifford, this  It¡¯s my eldest brother Li Chong.¡±

    Clifford can also understand some Chinese, and Li Chong's words to let her go were obviously unfriendly.  I wanted to get angry and scold him, but after hearing what the woman in the dress said, I immediately turned my anger into joy. It turned out to be the brother of my fianc¨¦e.  No wonder there is such a reaction.  At that moment, Clifford took a step forward, stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Li Zhong, and said, "Hello, my name is Clifford, and I am the fianc¨¦ of your sister Li Xuanji."

    Li Chong looked at Clifford coldly, and did not shake hands with him. Instead, he turned to look at Li Xuanji, who had his head lowered and his face flushed, and asked: "Little sister, what is going on? When did you  Have you made a life-long private contract with this foreigner?"

    Li Xuanji's face turned from red to white. She raised her head but didn't know how to speak. Ronglu stepped forward to help her out. Ronglu pulled Li Zhong and said lightly: "It seems that this matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words."  Yes, let's sit down and talk it over slowly. Haven't you been looking for your little sister for a few years? Why are you acting like this when we meet?"

    Li Chong did not dare to disobey Ronglu's words. He looked at Li Xuanji and said in a deep voice, "Little sister, let's sit down and talk slowly." After saying that, he turned around and went back to his seat.

    Li Xuanji's eyes were filled with tears, her face turned pale, and her delicate body was trembling slightly. She had been looking for this brother for several years. Although she had not found her brother, people around her also advised her that maybe her brother was no longer alive, but Li Xuanji still  I was very sure that my brother was still alive, and I thought about hundreds of reunion scenarios in my mind, but I never expected that it would be a reunion like this.  You have to know how much a test it is for a Chinese woman to go through marrying a foreigner in this era. Chinese people still think that foreigners are barbarians. A woman who marries a foreigner is shameless and dishonors her family. Moreover, Li Chong said  Having a private life deepens this sense of shame.

    A warm big hand held her somewhat cold slender hand, and Clifford whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, dear, I won't let anyone bully you, not even your brother."

    Li Xuanji was startled for a moment, feeling warm in her heart, but immediately shook her head and said: "Clifford, don't say anything later, I'll??Tell your brother, okay?  "

    Clifford smiled warmly and said, "It's all up to you." After saying that, Clifford pulled Li Xuanji to the table where Li Chong and Ronglu were sitting.

    When Li Chong saw that the foreigner was still pulling his girl, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Let her go, what's the point of pulling her?!"

    Clifford still understood these words, and was about to retort when he saw Li Xuanji glare at him, smile and let go, very gentlemanly, he opened the seat for Li Xuanji, let Li Xuanji sit down, and he  Sitting next to Li Xuanji.

    Ronglu frowned and glanced at Li Zhong and said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me. She is your sister, not your subordinate!"

    Li Chong endured this breath and said in a deep voice: "Little sister, where have you been these years? How is your family?"

    The hometown of Li Chong and Li Xuanji has been occupied by the Taiping Army. Li Chong also sent some agents to inquire about the news. However, the news he received was that the Qing army and the Taiping Army fought repeatedly for the place where his hometown was, and there was no one left. Finally, Li  Zhong had to give up inquiring.

    Li Xuanji's tears rolled down and she sobbed: "Brother, my mother was killed by the Qing army, and I am the only one left in the family." Li Chong's face changed drastically when he heard this, he couldn't breathe, and he fainted.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
