Since the British and French coalition forces must negotiate and sign a contract with the plenipotent representative of the Qing court, the glorious and arduous task of finding the brothers Yixun and Yixun was of course exposed to Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao. In helplessness, Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao had to act as a guide party amid the scolding of the people in the city, and took foreign soldiers to find the brothers Yixun and Yixun.

Fortunately, I met the city and didn't take much time. Guo and Huang took the British and French troops to find the Prince Dunqin's Mansion of Yiqin. However, the slave of Prince Dun who stayed in the palace told Guo Songtao and others that Yiqin had taken the chief and deputy concubine out of Andingmen to escape from Andingmen on the night of the city's attack. Before leaving, Yiqin also clearly told the servants that it was the foreigners who refused to negotiate, so he could only go to report to Emperor Xianfeng and ask Emperor Xianfeng to decide.

Guo Songtao and Huang Sheng were both suspicious of the report from the servants of the Dun Palace, and some doubts that Yi Qiong was actually hiding in the palace. The British officers led the team were not polite when they learned about Guo and Huang's suspicion. They immediately ordered the British soldiers to go in and search. Amid the crying of the maids of the Dun Palace, they turned Yi Qiong's home upside down until they confirmed that Yi Qiong was not hiding at home. Guo Songtao and Huang Sheng complained, knowing that Yi Qiong would not give up in the future, but they had no choice.

Then, under the pressure of the British and French Allied Forces, Guo Songtao and Huang Sheng led foreigners to find Yihuan's Prince Chun. However, the servants in the Prince Chun's mansion said that Yihuan had already left the city and ran away. As a result, Guo Songtao and Huang Sheng did not dare to talk nonsense this time, but the coalition soldiers rushed in without saying a word to search. Finally, they found Guangxu's biological father Yihuan and Wu Chaoyue's little niece Yehenara Wanzhen under the bed in the bedroom.

"Huang Sheng, Guo Songtao, you two traitors, you are so brave! You are so brave! You dare to bring foreigners to capture me. I will never give up with you! I must report to Emperor Ming, kill all your family and execute Ling Chi! I will never let you go!"

Prince Chun, who was caught by foreigners and identified his identities, roared and shrugged, and was so angry that he almost ate Guo and Huang. Guo and Huang were so angry that they were so angry that they were even more ill. Guo and Huang were crying and said together: "Prince Chun, you really died of us. We brought foreigners to you. One was forced by foreigners, and the other was also for the sake of major affairs in the court. You are a minister of peace and peace. If you don't come forward to negotiate with foreigners in person, how will the matter in the capital end? Do you want foreigners to occupy the capital all the time?"

"I am just the deputy, the Minister of Peacekeeping Affairs is my fifth brother." Prince Chun jumped three feet high and shouted: "Foreigners want to negotiate peace and negotiation. You take foreigners to find my fifth brother, don't come to me!"

"Prince Chun, we can't find Prince Dun." Guo Songtao replied frowningly: "People in Prince Dun's mansion said that he had gone to Rehe, and foreigners could not find his home, so there was no way, we could only come to find you."

Prince Chun still yelled and insisted on not going to the coalition headquarters with Guo and Huang. Unfortunately, the foreign soldiers were not that easy to talk to, so they walked out directly with Prince Chun. Prince Chun’s slaves on both sides came up to stop them. The British officers led the team immediately fired a shot at the sky. As a result, when the gunshots sounded, Prince Chun’s loyal slaves ran away cleanly. Prince Chun also peed on the spot and did not dare to resist any more. They were honestly carried out by the coalition soldiers. Prince Chun’s mansion was crying loudly behind.

It was not very useful to force Prince Chun to the coalition headquarters, because he was extremely afraid of taking responsibility. Prince Chun just refused to negotiate with foreigners. At the same time, because Prince Chun was not the official plenipotent representative, he reminded Erjin and others that even if Prince Chun forced Prince Chun to sign the treaty, it would be useless. Erjin and Gro were extremely helpless and could only shout at Guo Songtao and Huang Sheng, "Guo! Huang! You people from the Qing Dynasty are so strange. We are the winners, and they all took the initiative to ask for negotiations to discuss how to withdraw the troops. Why did your negotiators of the Qing Dynasty still hide from us? Do they hope that we will occupy the capital of the Qing Dynasty forever?"

Guo Songtao and Huang Sheng were speechless, and their faces were a little red, which was really embarrassing!

At this time, the middle-aged man who had met Guo Songtao before suddenly came in, nodded and bowed to Erjin and others, "Sir, Yi Xin, the sixth brother of the Emperor of Qing Dynasty, has come, and said that there is something about negotiation and peace talks that I want to pay homage to you."

Erjin and Ge Luo, who were worried about not being able to find a negotiator, were overjoyed when they heard this and quickly ordered the pass to see him. However, Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao looked at each other vigilantly, and they were a little worried, but they were all very aware of the bad things between Wu Chaoyue and the Japanese Six.

Soon, under the guidance of the middle-aged man, the Japanese, wearing the yellow belt of the royal family, stepped forward to the Allied Forces Command. Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao quickly went up to salute. Guo Songtao, who was used to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, called Prince Gong. After the Japanese asked about Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao's identity and origin, they said with a smile: "The prince doesn't dare to be the one. The emperor has stripped my title. If you don't dislike it, just call me Master Liu."

Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao were even more alert when they heard this, and quickly changed their words and renamed them. The Japanese Liuze smiled and said, "Get up, please explain it to foreigners for me. They said that the peacekeeping minister named by the emperor, Prince Dunqin, is currently hidden in my home, but they don't dare to meet with foreigners, so there is no way. I will serve as his envoy to discuss peace with foreigners."

He looked at the Japanese Little who dared to take the initiative to get involved in this kind of thing, and then Huang Sheng translated the words of Japanese Little to Erjin and others. When Erjin and others were overjoyed, they immediately sent someone to arrest Yi Qi for negotiation, and asked Japanese Little to lead the way for the coalition soldiers. Japanese Little shook his head and said, "General Erjin, I'm very sorry. My fifth brother has been scared and dared not come out to meet you. If you don't mind, how about setting up the negotiation venue in my home?"

After a few words of discussion, Erjin and Ge Luo, who were eager to extort, immediately agreed, but also proposed that the British and French forces be responsible for the security of the negotiation venue. The Japanese Liu also agreed, and then led Pruss and Bullblon home to prepare for the negotiation. Prince Chun naturally asked his colleagues, while Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao were left aside and could only return to the Hubei Guild Hall temporarily to wait for news.

Not to mention the situation of Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao, just talking about the fact that the Japanese Six foreign envoys were brought to their homes to meet Yi Qiong, who was hiding here, although Prince Dun Yi Qiong and Prince Chun Yi Qiong were still extremely afraid of negotiating, under the strong persuasion of the Japanese Six, Prince Dun and Prince Chun, who had no choice, reluctantly agreed to start the formal negotiation the next day. Prous and Bourbron were overjoyed and arranged an army to surround Prince Gong's mansion and go back to prepare for negotiations.

After all the foreigners left Prince Gong's Mansion, Prince Dun and Prince Chun, who were a little scared, sat down and rested. Then, under the reminder of the slave, Prince Chun suddenly remembered that he should change his crotch soaked in urine. In addition to embarrassment, Prince Chun naturally cursed Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao who led the foreigners, and cursed and vowed to make Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao pay the price. He also gritted his teeth and said that he would definitely find Wu Chaoyue, who trained such a dog slave.

"Seventh brother, don't waste your energy. Your complaint will not be heard." The Japanese Liu said coldly: "The emperor's edict is to let you negotiate peace with foreigners. The foreigners entered the city and occupied the Forbidden City. You are still hiding without seeing foreigners. If the emperor knows, you have to eat melons."

Prince Chun shut up embarrassedly, and the Japanese Liuze said again: "By the way, fifth brother, seventh brother, there is a saying that I have wanted to ask you a long time ago. Why did the foreign army have known that those foreign devils were locked in the Old Summer Palace and directly killed them to the Old Summer Palace to rescue the foreign devils? How could the foreigners not know about the places in the Qing Dynasty? How could they know such accurate information?"

"Ninety-nine percent of the tricks of Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao, the two fake foreign devils!" Prince Dun roared angrily: "We were careless for a moment and asked the seventh brother to take Huang Sheng to visit the foreign devils, and sent Guo Songtao to contact foreigners to deliver letters. Not long after, the foreign devils directly rushed to the Old Summer Palace!"

"Is there any evidence?"

The Japanese Lion quickly asked, but unfortunately, Prince Dun and Prince Chun shook their heads together, and Prince Chun said viciously: "If there is evidence, those two dog slaves would have fallen to the ground long ago! Dogs, don't let me catch the evidence that you inform the foreigners, otherwise if I don't kill you all and execute you, I will not deserve to be Prince Chun!"

Guizi Liu smiled and thought to himself that killing two little slaves would be useless. Pulling Wu Chaoyue behind them into the water is the real way to eliminate my hatred. And while continuing to think about it, Guizi Liu suddenly thought of a possibility and said to himself: "If Guo Songtao really informed the foreign devils, would the translator know that the translator would be passed on the message for me today? Well, if you have the chance, spend some money to find the translator to inquire, maybe a miracle would really happen."

The next morning, according to the agreed time, Burbron, Prous and others came to Prince Gong's Mansion on time under the protection of coalition soldiers to negotiate. After the negotiations began, the British and French coalition forces sitting in the north not only proposed more harsh unequal clauses, but also raised strong protests about the arrest, abuse and killing of representative members of the negotiating group by the Qing army, and demanded that Emperor Xianfeng personally apologize to the ministers of Britain and France in person and compensate 200,000 taels of Wenyin.

Although the Sixth Devils helped negotiate and explain, the two brothers Yixun made many concessions in the treaty, but they still did not dare to agree to allow foreign envoys to be stationed in Beijing and open Tianjin. They also flatly refused to let Emperor Xianfeng apologize to the British and French ministers in person, and Emperor Xianfeng personally exchanged the contract with the British and French ministers.

The bargaining and arguing, and Bulbron, who had suffered enough in the Old Summer Palace, was furious and couldn't help but roar a few words that the diplomat shouldn't say, and said, "Dun, Gong, Chun, I understand, why are you and your emperor so stupid? You don't even accept meeting us for an appointment? If you don't understand what modern diplomacy is, you can ask your Hubei Governor Wu Chaoyue. He will tell you how much benefits it will be for you to contact the outside world to contact the outside world, and how many unnecessary military conflicts can occur!"

Prince Dun and Prince Chun were speechless together. The Japanese Liu was even more suspicious and became more suspicious of the shameful collusion between Wu Chaoyue and the British and French coalition forces. At the same time, they could not resist the aggressiveness of the British and French representatives. The Japanese Liu had to take out the negotiation tricks learned from Wu Chaoyue and demanded that the negotiations be suspended and the rest for an hour before starting again. Burbron and Prous agreed immediately, and both sides left the negotiation venue and went to the lounge to rest.

It was a coincidence for the Japanese Lion. He led Prince Dun and Prince Chun back to the lounge just as he sat down. The British brought the middle-aged man's translator to their lounge, nodded and said, "The two princes, Master Liu, Wu Futai's aides Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao are here. I hope to meet you and report to you important matters about the negotiations. Because the negotiations were still in progress, the British soldiers guarding the negotiation venue did not let them in. The negotiations would be suspended. I wonder if you want to meet them?"

A guest came to his house to ask for a meeting, but because the mansion was surrounded by foreign troops, he asked outsiders to report. Of course, Guizi Liu felt a little aggrieved. However, with a secret hatred in his heart, Guizi Liu suddenly had an idea and immediately waved to the middle-aged man in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "When Guo Songtao went to pay homage to Erjin and the others, were you here?"

As he said that, the Japanese Liu pulled off the jade pendant from his waist without hesitation and stuffed it into the middle-aged man's hand. The middle-aged man understood and held the jade pendant and replied in a low voice: "Go to Liu Master, I was not only present at that time, but also participated in General Erjin and his reception of Guo Songtao from beginning to end."

The Japanese laughed and whispered: "What did he say to the foreigners? Did you mention the matter about the Old Summer Palace? Also, did Guo Songtao mention Wu Chaoyue and Wu Futai in front of the foreigners?"

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with cold light and he replied with a smile: "Reply to Master Liu, I mentioned it, and all of it."

"What is the specific content?" Guizi Liu quickly asked in a low voice.

The middle-aged man did not say anything. The Japanese Liu secretly cursed that he was greedy and refused to miss this god-given opportunity to take revenge. He pulled off the jade ring from his right hand with some distress, held it in front of the middle-aged man, and smiled and said, "The picture of the hundred horses of Lu Zigang in the previous dynasty, the beloved thing of the Ming Dynasty, and the priceless treasure. As long as you tell me what happened that day, tell me nothing about the Old Summer Palace and Wu Futai, this jade ring is yours."

The middle-aged man smiled happily...

…………

After a while, Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao, who had been waiting outside the Gong Mansion for a long time, led the middle-aged man to the front of the Japanese Lion and others. After meeting, Huang Sheng and Guo Songtao respectfully bowed and greeted each other. Prince Dun and Prince Chun had their noses, not their eyes, but their eyes were not their eyes, and they only showed their nostrils. Gui Zi Liu had a smile and asked with a smile: "President Huang, Editor Guo, what's the point of you two coming to me, the shabby prince?"

Knowing that the Sixth and others of the Japanese devils must have no good voice, Guo Songtao and Huang Sheng didn't care. At that moment, Guo Songtao saluted and said, "Report to the two princes, Liu Master, we are here to bring a word for Wu Futai. Wu Futai knew that the emperor would definitely not allow foreign envoys to be stationed in Beijing. For the convenience of contact with the Qing court, foreign envoys would definitely insist on this."

"In view of this, in order to repay the kindness of the king and to share the worries of the emperor, Wu Futai wanted to suggest that the court allow the ministers of various countries to be permanently stationed in the capital of Hubei Province and set up a Prime Minister's affairs office in the capital of Hubei Province, and be responsible for negotiating and liaison with foreigners from various countries. In this way, the emperor did not need to worry about the troubles caused to the court by the foreign ministers in Beijing, and the foreigners should be able to accept it, and the best of both worlds should be."

Before Guo Songtao finished speaking, Prince Dun and Prince Chun's eyes lit up together. No matter what, they would not allow foreign envoys to be stationed in Beijing. This was the repeated instructions from Emperor Xianfeng to them, and he would never allow concessions. Wu Chaoyue voluntarily took over this labour, and Prince Dun and Prince Chun's requested them.

Prince Dun and Prince Chun were immediately moved, but Guizi Liu laughed out loud and said sneered: "Wu Futai is really loyal. Yes, this is indeed a good idea, and foreigners may also accept it. But Yunxian, why didn't Wu Futai come up with such a good idea?"

"Wu Futai didn't expect it before." Guo Songtao replied truthfully: "When I was sending us on the boat, Wu Futai suddenly remembered this method on the dock and asked us to bring a message. Otherwise, Wu Futai would have submitted a memorial to the emperor."

"I suddenly remembered that Wu Futai was worried that the emperor would hand over the important task of the meeting to him, so he didn't dare to raise it in advance, right?"

The Japanese snorted sarcastically. When Guo Songtao quickly shook his head and denied, the Japanese 6 suddenly raised his voice and sneered: "Also, Wu Futai proposed to set up a Prime Minister's affairs office in the capital of Hubei Province. I am afraid that I would like to cheer to foreigners at any time. To wish the Queen of England good health with foreigners, and to wish His Majesty Napoleon III good health?"

When Guo Songtao looked up in surprise, he saw the smile on the face of the ghost Liu even more ferocious, and said with a grim smile: "Also, it is also convenient for Lord Guo, you toast to the foreigners. I wish the foreigners' queen and emperor good health, right?"

Guo Songtao's face changed color, and suddenly his heart moved. When he turned his head and looked at him, he saw the middle-aged man hired by the British standing in the room and smiling at him. Guo Songtao's head was dizzy again and screamed in his heart: "Oh no! I told the foreigners that when the foreign envoys were locked in the Old Summer Palace, the general translator was also on the scene!"

"The Old Summer Palace!" The Japanese Six suddenly raised their voices and said viciously: "There is also the Old Summer Palace! How do you, Guo Yunxian, explain it?!"

Guo Songtao had a look of rust. He knew that he was betrayed by the middle-aged man. He also knew that even if the Japanese Liu dared not do anything to him now, he would definitely not be able to get rid of the crime of beheading in the future.

"Mr. Guo, don't blame me, I am also a citizen of the Qing Dynasty."
