C2378 Ten Days Holiday (1/2)

Ten days, this was the deadline for Benjamin to make his final decision. If he did not disband automatically after ten days, then he would have to forcefully disband the council. However, this was a dead end, Benjamin had already obtained a clear attitude from the Queen.

However, this old man still insisted on his face. He knew that if he wanted to make a comeback, he couldn't back down too badly. He had to put on airs and make some moves within ten days, which was to counter attack Gladstone.

Within these ten days, Gladstone also had to consider the general situation and make some sort of concession. This was the fundamental reason for the smooth transition of power.

Benjamin did not want to lose too badly. In the end, he hoped that the people would think that he had chosen to go down because of the overall situation. This was a form of courtesy and not a form of defeat.

Gladstone was also going to act, and he had to make some concessions to show that he was not too aggressive, and to continue to maintain his gentle label in front of the public.

Benjamin was not stupid, Gladstone was also not stupid. They all knew clearly that this kind of battle was not between two people, but rather a battle between two people.

Don't go too far, because it's not just one person that's offended, it's a huge party, hundreds of millions of British citizens, and countless supporters of that idea.

Ten days was enough time for acting, and these ten days were no longer related to the envoy anymore. The entire envoy entered into a most relaxed and cozy moment, and Xiao Letian even gave all of the soldiers a chance to take a break from work. They were allowed to go to the streets of London to relax and enjoy the feeling of being in a foreign country.

Xiao Letian had also given his army officials a big break. Sima Yun, Wang Huaiyuan and the others also put down what they were doing and were forced by Xiao Letian to relax.

There were plenty of nobles queuing up in London to treat all these distinguished guests from the east for drinks and fun. Luo Huo, Liang Kun, Yepingtai and the others had received 40 to 50 invitations to hunt alone, and Wang Huaiyuan had even been invited to visit the British ISI.

During this period of time, he had been using his brain too much. Having been conserving his insomnia for a month, what he needed to do was to rest and recuperate quietly. Therefore, the Head of the Guards had refused all invitations.

Every morning, Xiao Letian would ride out of the city and take a stroll under the protection of the guards. Afterwards, he would drink his morning tea in the beautiful countryside and read the newspaper for the entire day.

At noon, he would have a taste of local cuisine in a restaurant in a small English town. Although the taste was not that good, it was more of a domestic taste and he did not have to think about it every day.

Two glasses of black beer, several servings of grilled fish, bread, and potatoes, and he would take a nap on the grass in the morning when the weather was fine.

In the afternoon, he would return to the City of London to check out the progress of the Chinese restaurant's renovation, or visit the museums, libraries, and planetarium restaurant. At night, the imperial chefs would prepare his delicacies, and after 9 o'clock, he would go to bed on time.

These days, Xiao Letian had been through a lot, especially with the continuous media coverage and the Protestantism's publicity, most of the citizens in Britain had a very good impression of him.

This allowed him to play the game with incomparable ease and satisfaction. Basically, no matter where he went, he would always be greeted with smiles and enthusiasm. He even attended a few banquets held by the local farmers and received a warm welcome from them.

On the morning of the fourth day, on the Salisbury Plains in Wales, England, Xiao Letian laid comfortably on a bed of sheets with flowers engraved on it, reading today's newspaper. Beside him stood a bunch of huge rocks.

A group of 50 soldiers, consisting of British and Chinese soldiers, walked on the prairie, vigilantly staring at everything around them. Even the well-chested Shepherd Girl was ruthlessly searched three times by them and was met with waves of laughter.
