C2392 espionage (1/2)

With a crisp smack, the wine cup in Ferdinand's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. As for Bernanke, he was not feeling much better, the remaining wine in the cup had all been scattered all over his pants.

”My God! Assassinate the Emperor! No wonder you're offering such a high price... ”Why? Why is that?”

A scoundrel was still a scoundrel. Even if he had killed someone before, he would only be a slightly more daring scoundrel. This kind of person did not receive any professional training in killing.

Although this era contained great changes, the mindset of the masses was still very strong. The mysterious pressure exuded by the traditional monarch still enveloped the hearts of everyone present.

They looked down upon the Great Qing, looked down upon the foolish Qing Empire army, including the braided Chinese citizens. In the eyes of these foreigners, the Qing Dynasty that was left behind was just a race slightly higher than African black people.

Killing a few commoners and merchants of the Great Qing was nothing for them. They did not have any burdens, and even some low-level officials were nothing in the eyes of these foreigners.

But how could the Emperor kill him? Don't look at the fact that the English and French had captured the Beijing and burned them to ashes. However, if Emperor Xian Feng was still in the Forbidden City, these foreign devils would have all been respectful to him.

The imperial power had ruled over the human race for thousands of years. This kind of habitual thinking couldn't be wiped out in a day or two.

The mission of assassinating the Emperor, Tongzhi, had scared the both of them stiff. The only person who could control his emotions was the veteran Di Ao, even though his hands were shaking, his expression was still calm.

”Three hundred thousand pounds in exchange for the life of the emperor, I really don't know if this price is considered cheap …” But why? ”How did you get involved in this conspiracy …”

Ao Lifu frowned, ”Can you ask such a question? ”Don't you understand the rules? Take someone's money to get rid of their trouble. I told you before, since you chose to accept the price, since you heard about the mission, there's no turning back!”

”Who do you care who my employer is? Damn it, if I knew who is behind this, I would not have met you directly! ”

As they were speaking, the door suddenly burst open, the black muzzles of the guns surrounding Di Ao and the other two.

Ao Lifu said regretfully, ”Old friend, you know how big this matter is … This has already completely exceeded the scope of our friendship. I can only follow the rules now. There's only one conclusion for you to back off now … That would be death! ”
