    Li Xuanji walked out of the guest room in despair, not noticing Ronglu in the dark corner on one side. She stumbled back to the lobby of the restaurant.  Clifford saw her distracted look and hurriedly rushed forward to greet her.

    "Dear, what's wrong with you?" Clifford's soft words brought Li Xuanji back to reality, and his warm big hand held her cold jade hand, making her feel warm in her heart.

    "It's nothing, Clifford, I'm a little uncomfortable. Let's go back first." Li Xuanji was very sad about Li Zhong's change. His brother, who had always hated evil and hated evil, has become so indifferent to good and evil, and his current identity is different from her own.  Hostile, Li Xuanji subconsciously felt that she could not get too entangled with her brother.  Although he is his only relative in the world, if Li Zhong still helps the emperor to do evil, Li Xuanji will not recognize him as his brother.

    Clifford supported Li Xuanji, and after bidding farewell, he took Li Xuanji out of Lebre's restaurant, got into a luxury carriage, and headed to his apartment.

    On the rickety carriage, Li Xuanji felt her chest becoming more and more depressed. Fortunately, Clifford was always by her side to comfort her.  Although Clifford was obsessed with art, he was not a fool. He still saw Li Xuanji's worries and asked in a low voice: "Why are you worried? Is it because your brother disagrees with our marriage? Or are you and him in opposing positions?"  ?¡±

    Li Xuanji took a deep breath and asked sadly, "Did you see it?"

    Clifford nodded and said: "Sir Baoling said that your brother's people are all officials of the Qing government. I think your brother's official position must not be too low. It can be seen that your brother's attitude towards me just now was very unfriendly.  .¡±

    Li Xuanji sighed softly and said, "Yes, brother, he is an official of the Qing Dynasty, and he is opposed to our marriage."

    Clifford was a little strange: "Aren't all your family members killed by government troops? Why is your brother still on that side?"

    Li Xuanji shook her head and said: "I don't know why he is like this, but if he is still unwilling to leave the Qing court, I will not recognize him."

    Clifford nodded and said: "No matter what you choose. I will support you."

    Li Xuanji suddenly felt very guilty. Clifford was very kind to her, but she really had nothing else to give him except this body. Her heart was still with another person.

    Clifford's apartment is not far from the 13th Street Block, right next to the British Consulate in Guangzhou. A British settlement has formed around the British Consulate. Many British people doing business in Guangzhou have built houses here.  The British Consulate sent guards to ensure the safety of the area.  In fact, the British are not very safe in Guangzhou. Especially at night, the British do not dare to leave the area alone.  Many times robberies and kidnappings fall on the British.  Moreover, after the First Opium War, the people of Guangzhou once set fire to Shisanhang, so the foreign business district has always been guarded by soldiers from various countries with guns and ammunition.

    After returning to her residence, Li Xuanji felt very tired and talked to Clifford for a few words.  Then he went back to his bedroom to rest.  Clifford respected her as long as she didn't want to.  Clifford would not be more intimate with her.  So Clifford just kissed her forehead gently.  Then he watched her return to the room.

    Lying on the soft bed, Li Xuanji couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She kept her eyes open until midnight, and finally passed out in a daze.  I don't know how long it took, but Li Xuanji suddenly felt like she was being gently shaken awake. When she opened her eyes, she suddenly found a petite man in black standing beside her bed.

    Li Xuanji was slightly surprised.  But she calmed down immediately. She knew this person, Bai Zetang's secret agent, since she arrived in Guangzhou.  She has always been in contact with him.  Li Xuanji admired this little girl very much. She was less than twenty years old, but she was very skillful. It was easy for her to sneak into the British Business District at night.

    The girl in black whispered: "Li Qiandian, please come with me."

    Li Xuanji frowned and said, "If you still ask me to go back to Shanghai, I won't go. Things here haven't been settled yet."

    The girl in black whispered: "Master, I'm meeting you to discuss something important."

    Li Xuanji knew that the hall master she was talking about was Tong Qiangsheng. A few days after she arrived in Guangzhou, Tong Qiangsheng arrived in Guangzhou.  Baizetang's underground power is quite powerful. There are agents, spies and killers of Baizetang in more than ten provinces south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River. Tong Qiangsheng came to Guangzhou in person, which shows that the King of Xi attaches great importance to the Guangdong Tiandihui uprising this time.  But Li Xuanji herself knew that her order to come to Guangzhou to contact was just an excuse for her to leave Shanghai. West Palace would not really let her do it to contact the Tiandihui, and neither would the heroes of the Guangdong Tiandihui.  He would listen to her, a weak female prostitute.  Therefore, Li XuanjiHe didn't believe that Tong Qiangsheng had anything to discuss with him. He was just trying to persuade him to return to Shanghai.

    At that moment, Li Xuanji shook her head slightly and said, "Go back and tell the Tong Hall Master that I will not go back."

    The girl in black snorted softly, and suddenly turned her left palm fiercely, attacking Li Xuanji's neck. Li Xuanji was shocked. She also learned some martial arts in the army, and immediately waved her arms to block, but she didn't expect the girl  This was a false move, and the right palm had already cut hard on Li Xuanji's neck. Li Xuanji fainted immediately.

    The girl in black had been trained for several years and struggled on the line of life and death all year round. This method was naturally more powerful than Li Xuanji. After she knocked out Li Xuanji, she looked at the unconscious Li Xuanji and sighed softly and said to herself: "  Don't blame me, girl, the King of the West is here, and he has designated to see you, and said that if you don't come, he will take you there by force."

    After saying that, the girl in black carried Li Xuanji behind her back and jumped out of the window. Several people from Bai Zetang came to help her outside the house.  When several people came in, they had already knocked unconscious or used drugged blow darts to drop several people at the British guard posts. Naturally, they left without alerting the British at this time.

    It wasn¡¯t until half an hour after the few people left with Li Xuanji that the British patrol discovered that several sentry soldiers in the southeast had fainted, and the sharp sirens rang through the British business district.

    When Li Xuanji woke up leisurely, she found that she was lying on an embroidered bed, and the rough man was sitting beside the bed.

    Why did he come to Guangzhou?  Li Xuanji was startled, but what followed was sweet yet bitter joy, "Why are you here?"

    That person was none other than the Western King Xiao Yungui, who was dressed in ordinary business travel attire, with a fake braid on his head.  He really looks like a businessman running a boat.  He gently stroked Li Xuanji's hair and said softly: "I'll take you back, Xuanji, I'm not the kind of person who betrays your heart."

    Li Xuanji's expression dimmed, and she said quietly: "King Xi, you really shouldn't take risks yourself for a woman like me. Guangzhou is still the territory of Qingyao. If you reveal your whereabouts, you may be in danger."

    Xiao Yungui chuckled and said, "It's not because of you that I asked people to take you back to Shanghai over and over again. Why don't you come back?"

    Li Xuanji lowered her head and said: "King Xi, just think of the past as a dream. Clifford was very good to me, and Clifford is also very important to the West Palace. I will be very happy when I marry him."

    Xiao Yungui¡¯s eyes darkened.  He took Li Xuanji's jade hand and said angrily: "I have no habit of giving away my women just to win over someone. I have already arranged the boat. We will leave soon!"

    Li Xuanji felt sweet in her heart.  But he still bit his red lips and asked softly and hesitantly: "What about the Queen of the West? How do you want me to deal with myself?"

    Xiao Yungui's face froze, and he slowly let go of Li Xuanji's hand and said: "There will be a way, I can convince her, and I won't let you suffer any injustice."

    Li Xuanji shook her head and said sadly: "Prince Xi, but I can't pass the test of my own conscience, not only the Queen of Xi. There is also Clifford, I have agreed to marry him." She followed her and said quietly: "Can I  Reuniting with you overnight is already a blessing for me. Xuanji will not ask for anything more. I will marry Clifford. To the King of the West, to the Queen of the West, to Clifford, to myself, and even to the West Palace.  That's good. King Xi, you have great ambitions. You must not waste all your previous efforts just for your own personal affairs."

    Xiao Yungui raised his head and said angrily: "What are you talking about? If I have to give up my own woman to others, what's the point of being the King of the West? Don't worry, the British value interests, Clifford doesn't  You will ignore the interests of your family because of your personal feelings! Xuanji, if you come with me, I will definitely marry you as the royal wife in a glorious way."

    Li Xuanji frowned, but shook her head and said tremblingly: "There is no need to persuade the King of the West. It is enough that you and I both have each other in our hearts. In the future, when you dominate the world, you will still remember me, a little girl, and I will be satisfied."

    Xiao Yungui angrily hugged her in his arms and said angrily: "I am not discussing this matter with you. You must go back with me."

    When Li Xuanji was still struggling to speak, a person outside the room said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, a large number of Qing army soldiers are coming here. It seems they are coming for us."

    It was Tong Qiangsheng who spoke. Xiao Yungui frowned slightly and said, "How could Xingzang be exposed?"

    Tong Qiangsheng replied: "Ah Qing might have been followed by Qing Yao Xizuo when she went to pick up Miss Li just now."

    Xiao Yungui said angrily: "How can it be so useless? Don't you even know that you are being followed?"

    Tong Qiangsheng said with some embarrassment: "Maybe after Miss Li and her brother recognized each other during the day, Ronglu sent someone to keep an eye on them. This subordinate only found out about this just now. It was his negligence."

    Xiao Yungui hummed and said, "That's alright, let's go now. We'll get back to the boat first and we'll do it right away."?Shanghai, you have made arrangements for the evacuation of the sub-rudder personnel here.  "

    Tong Qiangsheng responded and said: "My subordinates know, please move His Majesty the King of the West." Bai Zetang's sub-rudder was operating in the areas occupied by the Qing court. He had his own way of protecting himself. He was also familiar with the transfer of sub-rudders or secret bases.  .  At that moment, Xiao Yungui held Li Xuanji in his arms, and she couldn't help but struggle and explain. He strode out of the house and got on the sedan arranged by Tong Qiangsheng. More than ten spies from Bai Zetang escorted him to the dock, while the others waited in Tong Qiangsheng's car.  Under the command, they each disguised themselves and left the helm.

    Arriving at the Shuntai Wharf of Jardine Matheson, Xiao Yungui, Li Xuanji and others boarded the "Glorious" steam-sail dual-power merchant ship of Jardine Matheson. This ship is the latest merchant ship of Jardine Matheson in the Far East. There are also  There were dozens of guards from the West Palace to assist them.

    After Xiao Yungui got on the ship, he took Li Xuanji to a comfortable cabin to settle down, and said softly: "Don't think about anything, don't care about anything, just wait to be my queen." Li Xuanji burst into tears.  And down, there was no nodding or shaking of the head.

    At this time, Tang Erniu's voice came from outside the cabin: "King Xi, there are a large number of Qingyao on the dock, and there are more than ten Qing navy warships in the outer sea. They have already surrounded our ship. Qingyao  The leading demon officer is going to board the ship to search, and Manager Smith of Jardine Matheson and Captain George of the Glory are negotiating with them."

    Xiao Yungui didn't panic, he just laughed and said: "I didn't expect that this kid Lu Sixuan was in Guangzhou, but he responded very quickly!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
