C2450 Consent to wounded soldiers (2/2)
At that time, even Nine and Hu Xiaoxin wanted to get up and kowtow in gratitude, but when Zai Chun wanted to act, he would not let them kowtow really.
”You are all here to protect me from my injuries, so there is no need to be so courteous! ”In the future, work hard and I will naturally share wealth and wealth with you!”
After walking past the sickbeds of the guards, Zai Chun arrived in front of the most noble of the injured, Sir Gordon.
Seeing that Zai Chun had walked to his side, he struggled to sit up. Zai Chun hurriedly walked forward and held him down: ”Don't move, don't ever touch a wound. Be careful, be careful …”
”Long live …” Gordon's eyes became so hot that he almost cried.
Zai Chun felt mixed emotions as he looked at Gordon. If it wasn't for Gordon blocking that blade for him at the most crucial moment, then his own life would really have been lost somewhere.
Actually, it was not only the assassins who had forgotten about Gordon, this unexpected variable, even Zai Chun himself did not expect that Gordon would actually jump out and use his life to fend off the blade.
Although Gordon had fought in the Great Qing before, and although he could be considered a big shot in the Qing Empire's military officials system, but all the officials in the empire, including the royalty did not truly trust him.
is after all, an Englishman, and Tongzhi previously saw him as a Mercenaries.
During the time they were in London, Gordon and Gordon seemed to have a close relationship, but it was just a mutual utilization. Gordon was the lobbyist sent by the British Government, and Zai Chun had only used Gordon to bargain with the British Government.
But this assassination had changed the relationship between Zai Chun and Gordon. At this moment of life and death, no one expected that Gordon would actually rush forward and use his life to block the blade for Tongzhi.
After the assassination, when Gordon's injuries were completely healed, his good friend in London had asked him before they drank together. Why did he rush out to defend Tongzhi at that time? Are you really not afraid of death?
Gordon thought for a long time, and then used the power of alcohol to speak a sentence of truth, ”To be honest, in that split-second when people are on the brink of death, they don't even have time to think about it too much!”
”At that time, my brain was also muddled. When I rushed up, I really didn't think of him as the emperor of the Great Qing, nor did I consider that there would be any advantages or disadvantages in doing so!”
”At that time … I knew he was a thirteen-year-old, and his life was in danger, and then... Then, I subconsciously charged forward! ”
This was the truth. Gordon had told him the truth, but he had never thought that his subconscious actions this time would bring about such a huge change in his fate.
Zai Chun and Gordon remained silent for a good three minutes. In the end, Tongzhi spoke out, ”My General, what sort of reward do you want?”
At the moment, the morphine on Gordon's body was almost gone, the wound on his back was bleeding profusely, he endured the pain and forced himself to speak.
”Your Majesty, if you could give me a choice … I hope to be able to get a blood transfusion technique, and I hope to allow more wounded to be treated! ”
”In Chinese terms, isn't this a great thing to do good? I hope that the king will grant us his blessing! ”
