    And her hatred for that official was mainly because of opium.  When the "boss" first arranged for her to get rid of him, he gave a lot of reasons, such as selling himself to the foreigners, buying foreign rice to help the victims and poisoning the people, opening a foreign school to recruit orphans to learn from foreign devils, and colluding with the French to betray Vietnam and the Black Flag  The army is an enemy (the Black Flag Army belongs to the Tiandihui system), etc., in order to increase her hatred towards him (perhaps because she knows that women are emotional animals) and better complete the assassination mission.  But what the "boss" may not know is that her hatred for him comes more from his opium tax to buy ocean ships.  The thing she hated most in her life was opium.  Growing up, she has witnessed too many people's lives being ruined by opium.  And this man actually took money from opium taxes in order to build ocean ships!  For this alone, he deserves death!  I heard from the master that this person is still a descendant of Lin Zexu, the man who destroyed opium in Humen, but now he has betrayed his ancestors!  Moreover, as a Han Chinese, he actually joined forces with foreigners to support the Qing Dynasty and prevented the Han people from regaining the Ming Dynasty!  "What Queen Lin Wenzhong is doing! She's just deceiving the world and stealing her reputation!" She said contemptuously in her heart.  When it comes to life, I am not much worse than him.  The master told her very early on that he was the fifteenth generation grandson of King Zhou of the Ming Dynasty!  Her surname is Zhu!  His name is Zhu Xueyan!  He is a descendant of the Ming royal family!  In her eyes, Duke Wenzhong Lin is nothing more than a dog slave of the Qing Dynasty!  Who are Lin Zexu¡¯s descendants?  He should be considered lucky to die in the hands of a descendant of the Ming royal family!     Late at night.  A small town appeared in front.  Zhu Xueyan rode into the town.  There was no one on the street, everyone was hiding in their houses.  No one wants to come out in such a dark night.  Zhu Xueyan seemed to be very familiar with this town. She galloped around a few streets and came to an inn with a plaque of "Yongle Inn".  Although it was late at night and most of the people in the inn had fallen asleep, there was a person standing at the door, waiting to greet guests who would not appear at this time.  This man had been looking at the dark and gloomy street and seemed not to notice Zhu Xueyan's arrival.  "Is there any room available here?" Zhu Xueyan sat on the horse and looked at the people at the door.  asked.  "It's a coincidence. Now is not the peak season for business. There are not many guests, and there are still vacancies." The visitor smiled and replied.  Zhu Xueyan got off the horse.  Go straight into the inn.  Leave the greeting words "Sir, please wait" behind you.  Some people never wait.  Only the dead will wait, waiting endlessly for the impossible rebirth.  There are never no guests in the lobby of Yongle Inn.  Just like people will not die forever.  There are many ways for people to die, and there are also many ways for the guests of Yongle Inn.  But no matter what kind of guests are in the inn at this time, Zhu Xueyan will only be surprised when he comes in.  Zhu Xueyan didn't care at all, sat down at an empty table, took off her veil, and placed her luggage on the floor beside her.  The waiter went to greet him, and Zhu Xueyan said: "Take this wine to heat it up, and have some side dishes." Seeing the exquisite silver wine flask in Zhu Xueyan's hand, the waiter was startled and hurried to be careful.  Take it and run to the back hall.  The wine was quickly heated up and delivered, along with a few dishes of side dishes and a few glasses of wine. The chill caused by the galloping all the way just now had been driven away. Zhu Xueyan was about to move when he heard laughter and curses from another table.  , a man who was red from drinking stood up and walked staggeringly in front of Zhu Xueyan.  This man supported the table with both hands, bent over, stretched his neck, and rushed towards Zhu Xueyan with a mouthful of alcohol, "Girl, are you lonely? How about I want you to accompany you for a while" Zhu Xueyan was still as expressionless as ever.  His expression was just a glance at the man's left foot.  Suddenly he flipped his foot and kicked the drunkard far away.  People in the entire lobby watched with interest.  Everyone here knows that no matter whether they are men or women, if they dare to mess around in the Tao, there must be no inconsistency.  Unexpectedly, after the man got up, he said with a smile: "My skills are good, not bad, why don't you come to my table and prepare two more cups" Everyone in the lobby laughed loudly, but Zhu Xueyan ignored it and called the waiter.  Ask about the guest room.  "But I don't know whether the guest should stay in the ordinary guest room or the upper room?" "Of course the upper room." "Now there are two items left in the upper room" "Give me the one facing the street." "Okay!" Wait.  After Zhu Xueyan finished eating, not long after, the waiter went to the shopkeeper to get the key and led her to the upper room.  The doors to the upper rooms here are all made of wood.?¡¯s scarlet door.  It is engraved with exquisite hollow character story patterns.  Although their room types and furnishings are completely different.  But generally they are the size of a small family home.  There are two small rooms on both sides of the main room.  One of them is a storage room for guests to store their belongings.  Zhu Xueyan asked the waiter to go down and feed her horse, and the waiter resigned.  After Zhu Xueyan closed the door, he undressed and went to sleep.  Sleeping is always comfortable and peaceful, especially on a comfortable and warm round bed.  Dreams and memories always appear in sleep, and then they touch the most painful and tender places in the human heart.  Therefore, sleep is always the time when a person has the most flaws, and no killer will give up this opportunity.  Dying in sleep is undoubtedly the best way to die, but not many people want to die.  So even in his sleep, Zhu Xueyan would not relax his vigilance.  Suddenly, five sharp arrows were shot out of the window, flying towards Zhu Xueyan on the bed from different angles, as if they were going to shoot her right through.  Zhu Xueyan's body instantly moved away from the bed and rolled onto the floor. All five arrows were shot empty at once.  Zhu Xueyan ducked and hid next to the wooden pillar. She noticed that there seemed to be a figure flashing at the door, so she unceremoniously raised the quiver under her wrist and shot an arrow.  There was a scream from the door.  The door opened, and three men appeared inexplicably. One of them squatted on the ground, breathing heavily and covering his abdomen with his hands.  People on both sides of him stood in a formation to protect him.  They all wear black veils to hide their appearance.  Appearance can reveal so many secrets about a person.  And secrets are often related to a person's life or death.  Sometimes, you don¡¯t need to know the secret to kill. Killing is simply an art. All killers know the secret of the art of killing.  Zhu Xueyan felt the gazes of the three people and couldn't help but sneered.  Their eyes were filled with unspeakable ferocity and lust, as if hungry wolves were about to bite and tear their prey into pieces.  The two sides didn¡¯t speak, then they both started moving again.  No, not only the people on both sides, but also the spirits, thoughts and terrible powers of both sides.  They all started to move.  The moment Zhu Xueyan jumped up, she used her left hand to pull out the short sword that had been hidden on her body.  The target was the crouching man, and he knew that he had no ability to move.  The person on the right side of the opponent blocked the stab with a sword, and even almost knocked the dagger from her hand away.  However, he had already jumped up and his real killing move was in his right hand, aimed at the person blocking her dagger.  That person obviously did not expect that her main target would be herself.  In panic, he slashed with his knife.  Zhu Xueyan was already close to the other party at this time.  The quiver in his right hand was already aimed at the opponent's eyes, and the machine gun was activated.  The sharp arrow shot straight into the opponent's eye and went out through the brain.  The person squatting on the ground endured the pain and turned around to escape at this moment.  Zhu Xueyan turned around and shot an arrow at him, but the man on the left flew towards him, slashed with his sword, and knocked down the arrow in his sleeve.  This person is almost relying on instinct to fight, because instinct is often better than thinking in fighting.  He dodged another arrow fired by Zhu Xueyan from close range and slashed her chest with the knife.  Zhu Xueyan was about to give him a kick when she used her dagger to block it, but she felt her opponent's sudden pause and hesitated whether she was cheating or whether she should send the sword into his opponent's chest at this moment.  After a moment of hesitation, she heard the whistling sound of a sharp sword piercing the air.  A sword tip came out from the opponent's chest.  In this room of lightning and flint, Zhu Xueyan shot three arrows in a row, one arrow towards the person who was about to escape, and two arrows towards the door.  A series of screams rang out, and everything fell silent.  "Sister, it's me, Heizi." A familiar voice sounded.  "I know it's you." Zhu Xueyan stood up coldly and said, "Have you dealt with the five people outside?" "There are two left. I just asked the senior sister to kill them." A thin man flashed in outside the door.  Zhu Xueyan carefully pulled out the sword from the corpse and threw it to the visitor.  She quickly stabbed each of the corpses on the ground with the dagger in her hand. After making sure that they were all dead, she stepped forward and pulled out all the hidden arrows from the corpses.  These arrows are made of hundreds of refined steel and are not easy to make, so she will not throw them away unless absolutely necessary.  "Heizi, where did these people come from?" Zhu Xueyan asked.  "They are all horse bandits." Heizi replied, "There are about a hundred or so people who came from Shandong. Not long ago, they encountered the official army and people from the Huiyou Escort Bureau. Many of them were killed, and the remaining  There are about thirty people who have been working here to make a living." He pointed to a person who was shot to death by Zhu Xueyan, "This is their leader, called Lei Xuanfeng."nbsp;Zhu Xueyan frowned as she thought of the horse bandits she met when she came here.  "We can't stay in this place, Senior Sister. If the officers and soldiers know that so many people have died, we will be in trouble." Heizi said, "Let's change places and rush to the capital at dawn." "Sheng  Why didn't I come with you?" Zhu Xueyan asked.  "That boy, I don't know what he did. He promised not to have an affair with a woman again. Hey, this time he still didn't escape the woman. Who knew he really fell in love with that bitch?  He forgot about his master's mission and secretly told that bitch his identity." Heizi sighed, "The bitch leaked the news and the matter reached the ears of the government, who sent a foreign gun team.  He was caught off guard, and his legs were broken immediately. After killing several officers and soldiers, he was also beaten to death. Damn, I really want to kill that bitch with my own hands now" Hearing Heizi.  Zhu Xueyan's brows furrowed even more.  "Let's go." She said in a deep voice.  Not long after, the two horses galloped out of the town.  "Have you heard about that person's whereabouts?" Zhu Xueyan asked.  "I heard that he has been living in Xianliang Temple since he arrived in Beijing. He has few servants and no maids, but there are more guards than last time. There are twenty-four people in total, all with foreign guns.  Soldier in red." Heizi replied, "He also carries two plum blossom pistols. He has been in and out of the Prime Minister's Office these days. I heard that he is negotiating with a foreign envoy." "He himself does not know martial arts.  , Without those two foreign guns, they are nothing." Heizi added, "But those red-coated soldiers are all very skilled. Not only can they shoot accurately with foreign guns, they can also use machetes, and they are very good in close combat.  I heard that several princes specially sent their guards to compete with them, and they all lost miserably." "Oh." Zhu Xueyan couldn't deny it after hearing Heizi's report.  Just nodded.  The two of them rode up a hillside.  Heizi pointed to the outline of the huge city wall in the darkness ahead and said, "The capital is ahead, Senior Sister." "Let's find a place to wait for dawn." Zhu Xueyan said.     Its daybreak.  Lin Yizhe got up early, and after having breakfast, he went straight to Weitoma's residence.     today.  It was the day when Wetoma left Beijing.  After British Prime Minister Disraeli was impeached by Congress and resigned.  British Foreign Secretary Derby and other cabinet members also resigned one after another.  Gladstone was elected as the new British Prime Minister, and the first thing Gladstone did after taking office was to formally announce his dismissal from the post of Witoma's minister to China.  He was replaced by Fores, the counselor in China.  With Wakma, he was dismissed with Ryider, the British Far East Fleet (that is, the "Chinese Fleet").  After being dismissed from office, Wytoma was not reconciled and called the British government one after another, emphasizing the importance of negotiating with China to expand trade ports and asking the British government to resolutely oppose Lin Yizhe's intervention.  However, the British government has lost interest in his suggestions. It just wants to end the diplomatic turmoil caused by the Magali incident and Liu Xihong incident as soon as possible so that it can be free to deal with Russia, which is ready to take action due to the Turkish Strait crisis. Therefore, it is very  The aftermath of the incident was properly handled with the Chinese side in a low-key manner.  After repeated "friendly consultations" with Fures, Lin Yizhe reached an agreement with the Chinese side on the aftermath of the "Dian Case" and the "Tun Case" after Fleiss asked the British government for approval.  The main contents of the agreement are: In the Yunnan case, China will compensate and compensate Ma Jiali¡¯s family for a total of 50,000 taels of silver, and execute six of Ma Jiali¡¯s murderers by beheading (actually six death row inmates were found because they were all ¡°killed¡±  "In prison", so this item was dropped), and Cen Yuying was removed from the post of governor of Yunnan (actually the vacancy was opened in the name of "Ding You").  In the London case, the British compensated and Liu Xihong's family a total of 500,000 taels of silver. (The reason why Liu Xihong's life and price were ten times that of Ma Jiali was because Liu Xihong was the deputy imperial envoy, and Ma Jiali was just a translator. The reason was "same life, different price".  "), because the murderer was never caught, the director of London's "Scotland Yard" was dismissed, the Home Secretary was dismissed (actually resigned due to the collapse of Disraeli's cabinet), and the British Foreign Secretary personally wrote a letter to express his apology.  Regarding Yunnan trade matters, the two parties agreed that all the extortion conditions previously proposed by Weituma would be invalid.  After jointly sending personnel to explore the border trade situation in Yunnan, negotiations will be reopened.  China has expressed strong protest against Wade's wanton extortion of China through the Margarita incident. The British side promised to launch an investigation and hold relevant personnel accountable after Wade and his related parties return to the country.  When things got to this point, Witoma knew that there was no point in staying in Beijing any longer, so he could only leave Beijing and return to China.    Lin Yizhe arrived at Witoma's residence in a carriage. At this time, the small Western-style building had been emptied. Several carriages loaded with furniture and books were parked at the door. Mrs. Witoma directed the servants to continuously move towards the carriage.  They were carrying things on the floor while several children were playing nearby.  As young people, they still cannot understand what this move means to their father.  Unlike his busy wife and servants, Witoma just stood there calmly, watching all this.  It wasn't until Lin Yizhe stepped forward to greet him that he came back to his senses.  "Hello, Mr. Lin Yizhe." Witoma looked at Lin Yizhe and smiled, "Are you here to see me off today?" "Yes." Lin Yizhe nodded, "If you are willing, I hope you will  "Allow me to say goodbye to you in a Chinese way and express my respect." "Respect? I thought you came here specifically to see a loser leave." Weituma stared at Lin Yizhe.  Isn't that true? " "We have an old saying in China: A hero is not judged by his success or failure. You failed this time, but that doesn't mean you are a loser," Lin Yizhe said in response to Weitoma's gaze.  Said sincerely.  "Such words come from your mouth, I can't help but express my surprise." Weituma still seemed unwilling to believe Lin Yizhe's answer, and his tone was full of hostility, "In this incident, you have always been my  Enemy, you must know that I have fiercely opposed your participation in this incident, but you have been secretly urging me to leave China. Now, your goal has been achieved."  Treat me as an enemy, but I don't treat you as an enemy." Lin Yizhe smiled and said, "And I didn't secretly prompt you to leave China. Your departure was entirely due to your own reasons.  If you are not too greedy and your extortion of China is too much." After hearing Lin Yizhe's answer, Witoma let out a heavy sigh.  Indeed, as the young man in front of me said, his series of rough behaviors in the Magali incident led to his resignation today!  "However, this failure cannot negate all the contributions you have made to your country." Lin Yizhe noticed Weituma's sad look, smiled slightly, and said, "In fact, in my opinion, your  The contribution is far greater than the consequences of this failure."
