C3281 Head of Four Heavenly Kings (2/2)
”What?” He came … Did you bring them secretly or just like that? ”
”Forget it, hurry up and take me …”
The Dutch governor, Wei Liyaka, quickly asked, ”Who? Who's here... ”Who are you going to see?”
Governor Philip completely ignored him. Under the lead of an officer, he ran quickly and disappeared at the end of the corridor. Governor Wei Liyaka wanted to chase after him, but the guards politely stopped him.
There was a small secluded door in the General Governor's Mansion's back garden. Normally, this was a place for servants to deliver food and daily necessities.
There were a total of 30 British soldiers. They were standard British soldiers, not mercenaries from other countries … These native army soldiers vigilantly surrounded the back door, the bayonets on their rifles installed.
The little gatekeeper, the natives guarding the gate had long been abandoned somewhere. The four Chinese people were dressed in plain clothes, but from the looks of it, they were definitely not ordinary people.
Four Dragon Guards stood guard at the gatehouse. Inside, a middle-aged man with a tired expression was sipping his beer. A faint scent of barley could be smelled from the room.
It was the person in the photo. Governor Philip's heart skipped a beat and he quickly walked over, but before he even entered the door, he started to curse, ”Damn thing, how can you let a guest rest at the gatehouse? What kind of cheap beer is this? Where's my cache? ”Why didn't you take it out …”
”Hahaha …” Head of the Four Heavenly Kings, General Xiao Hexin … ”Actually, your identity is definitely at the level of a marshal in Europe. It's a pity that the Chinese did not have a marshal here …”
The one who came to the Singapore in plain clothes was Xiao Hexin, she had changed her plans for the sake of Tongzhi's safety and came here by boat from the Luzon a few days earlier. She had also encountered a torrential rain during these few days, which made him very uncomfortable.
”You're too courteous, Mr. Governor. This beer is very good. Can the people at the gatehouse even drink beer?” ”Your living conditions are really quite good …”
Governor Philip's face turned black, didn't he hear the ridicule from the crowd? The gatekeeper was guarding the back door, yet he still dared to sneakily drink beer at such an important moment. Was he going to die?
Governor Philip sat in front of Xiao Hexin and said with a sneer, ”So, my subordinates just caught a group of thugs not too far away … Maybe the beer was secretly bribed by those thugs for the sake of doing bad things! ”
Xiao Hexin gave him a casual glance. It was clearly a casual glance, but it caused Governor Philip's back to be drenched in cold sweat!
The leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, who was a low-ranked officer in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom when she was young, had followed Xiao Letian to kill all over Eurasia.
”So what? I've come to see you, and I hope the Governor will give me some face... Let those people go! ”
”Hmm? ”So, you admit that this was an assassination plot by you?” The Governor struck the snake with his rod.
”Hahaha …” Don't joke around, if I was the one who planned it all, do you think the Emperor of Tongzhi can still live? ”
”Mr. Governor, the overall situation is more important! We, the Chinese and British Empire have already exchanged letters of credence, and their relationship is currently at the honeymoon period.
”Release him, I'll go meet His Majesty!”
”Haargh!” Governor Philip was so angry, you are so mighty, how dare you give me such an order?
He really wanted to fall out, but when he saw Xiao Hexin's confident look, he just didn't dare to fall out!
