Chapter 242: Maud's Help

Liu Buchan, the temporary admiral of the Lushun Naval Station, almost spat out the sip of tea he had just taken into his mouth.

"Zijie, are you saying that the British woman we rescued is the British Princess Maud?" Liu Buchan was so shocked that he almost jumped from his chair.

"That's right, I only met her briefly and remembered it not long ago. Moreover, she has recovered her memory now." Wei Jichen calmly took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"No wonder!"

"What's wrong?" Wei Jichen asked curiously.

"The leader of the British ship accident investigation team is Sir Dou Naller, the minister to China. I am wondering that the British are making too much fuss. Now it seems that the British may think that the princess was killed, so they are making such a big fuss. Okay Give the royal family an explanation." Liu Buchan glanced at Wei Jichen, who looked calm, and continued: "During the time when the British princess lived in Zijie's house, did Zijie not neglect her? Otherwise, she would blame the incident on us. The court may have to pay a large sum of money."

This is the tragedy of being a weak country. Although what happens in your country may have nothing to do with you, if you are asked to compensate for the loss, you really dare not say not to compensate.

Wei Jichen smiled sarcastically and said, "You dare to be so negligent as to almost die of exhaustion. By the way, this is the money the princess spent to live in my house. Her eldest brother gave it to me. I hope these silver coins can be given to the Navy's Yamen." The court reimbursed."

Wei Jichen took out a bill from his arms and slowly handed it to Liu Buchan.

"How much money can there be? I didn't expect that Zijie is also a tough guy who doesn't have any money." Liu Buchan picked up the bill casually and flipped it over casually, then his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

He scanned the long detailed list and saw the total number at a glance: 34,000 taels.

"Zijie, are you sure your calculation is correct?" Liu Buchan was so shocked that he almost swallowed his tongue.

Wei Jichen put down his teacup slowly and said calmly: "Brother Liu, do you still think I'm an iron rooster now?"

"Brother, I take back what I just said. This princess is really a money-burning profession. Whoever marries her in the future will definitely destroy all the family property." Liu Buchan shook his head and said.

When Wei Jichen heard this, he choked and coughed several times. He quickly changed the subject and said, "When will the investigation team arrive in Lushun? Do we need to send a telegram to Tianjin first to explain the situation?"

"The British investigation team has already gone to sea and is expected to arrive tomorrow. There is no need to do anything else. It's just that I have to visit the British princess in person." Liu Buchan thought for a while and said with a smile.

When Liu Buchan went to visit Maud in the afternoon, he finally figured out why he spent so much silver.

Wei Jichen's oriental-style courtyard was transformed into a Western style by Maude. Everything from door curtains, chairs, and lampstands to large showcases, fireplaces, and carpets were replaced with British styles.

The British woman I saw last time had put on a gorgeous wisteria blue dress, with long hair reaching her waist, and a shining sapphire on her chest, which was shining brightly.

"Have you met Princess Maud! How is the princess?" Liu Buchan bowed slightly. He had served as an intern on the British fleet and was familiar with all kinds of British etiquette.

Maude returned the gift and said with a faint smile: "I haven't thanked your navy for saving my life. This time, my princess was able to escape death only because of the general's men. Don't worry, I will report the actual situation to our country's investigation team. reaction."

Mod knew what Liu Buchan was worried about, so he explained it directly.

Wei Jichen stood behind her. Seeing this girl pretending, he couldn't help but quietly reached out his hand and gently touched her buttocks quietly.

Maude trembled, and when Liu Buchan wasn't paying attention, she rolled her eyes at Wei Jichen, but she didn't dare to move and sat upright.

Liu Buchan did not see the little moves between the two people behind the scenes, but when he saw Maude's face turned red, he thought that Maude was not acclimatized, so he sat down and said: "The princess is so sensible, it is really a blessing for both countries. If he had known the identity of the princess earlier, , I won’t bother Zijie, I will definitely entertain him as a distinguished guest at the Admiral’s Mansion.”

Maude thought in her heart: If you just say it now, it's already too late.

Wei Jichen said with a smile: "Brother Liu, that's wrong. Your Highness the Princess eats well, sleeps soundly, and never leaves here. Don't you think so? Your Highness the Princess."

This perverted man pushed even further, and a big hand had quietly touched the skin of Maud's back.

Maude felt like ants were gnawing all over her body, her heart was throbbing, and she felt extremely stimulated.

"Well, I, this princess, will write down all the benefits of General Wei and repay them later." Maude blushed so much that she almost watered her face.

When Liu Buchan saw Wei Jichen standing behind Mod, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why don't Zijie come and sit down? Your house is deserted, why don't you find some servants?"

"No need!" Wei Jichen and Mode heard Liu Buchan's words and replied in unison.

"Well, this Princess Maude won't stay with me for long, so." Wei Jichen quickly explained when he saw Liu Buchan's suspicious look.

Mod also hurriedly explained: "General Wei is enough to take care of him alone, why waste money on buying servants."

The two of them lived a fairy life in the mansion, with the hall, main room, side room, and kitchen. They left traces as they pleased. The presence of servants was not intended to disturb the beautiful world of the two of them.

Liu Buchan's eyes flickered around Maude and Wei Jichen suspiciously, trying to spot any flaws.

Waste of money? If Wei Jichen hadn't asked him to reimburse the court, he might have believed it.

There's something fishy. Liu Buchan is not a novice. He immediately realized that this Mo De was not used to the climate and looked like spring. When Wei Jichen walked just now, his steps seemed to be exaggerated. Looking at his eyes, he found that he had serious dark circles.

No way, this is too incredible!

Liu Buchan talked for a while and found that Mo De stretched out his hand from time to time to cover his mouth and yawn, and his eyes often glanced at Wei Jichen, and his guess was more certain.

^.^,

After a while, Liu Buchan stood up to say goodbye, and Wei Jichen stood up to see him off. The two walked out the door.

Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Buchan turned his head and stared at Wei Jichen without saying anything.

Wei Jichen was stared at by him and his hair stood up.

"Zijie, tell me the truth, did you have a relationship with that British princess?" Liu Buchan asked seriously.

Wei Jichen's smile froze, and he was about to explain.

Liu Buchan waved his hand and said solemnly: "No need to say more, your expression has already betrayed you. I think you are also a smart person. The British princess is not easy to touch, not to mention that we are Chinese. I just remind you that when the British investigation team comes tomorrow, you must not show your feet again."

Wei Jichen nodded, and his heart was very heavy. Only then did he know that in this era, the gap between China and the powers was so big that even Liu Buchan, who had lived abroad for a few years and had an open mind, considered himself inferior.

As soon as Wei Jichen turned back to the room, Maud ran over with her long skirt and threw herself into Wei Jichen's arms.

Both of them knew that they would not have much time to spend together, so they did not waste any time.

After a round of lovemaking, Mod was lying in Wei Jichen's arms. Seeing his frown, Mod could not help but reach out his hand, slowly smoothed it, and asked: "Dear, what are you worried about?"

"Tomorrow, we will sleep in separate rooms and separate from now on." Wei Jichen sighed and hugged the beauty in his arms tightly.

Mod drew circles on Wei Jichen's chest with a slender finger.

"Dear, do you know? What attracts me most about you is your courage to move forward. I believe in you, and the day we meet will not be too far away." Mod said softly.

"The courage to move forward." Wei Jichen murmured in his mouth. Yes, with the help of the super military auxiliary system, can't he dominate the world and let this nation stand on the top of the world again.

"Wei, after I return to England, I will refuse the Danish prince's marriage, and use my own power to help you become the most outstanding person in the East, waiting for you to marry me." Mod whispered in Wei Jichen's ear.

Europe is not like China, not to mention Britain, the world's most powerful country. As long as Maud is determined not to marry the Danish prince, no one will force her, just like the current Russian queen. The royal family originally found a marriage for her, but she was attracted to Nicholas II, who was not yet the Russian emperor, and rejected the marriage.

Maud used to be indifferent, but now that she has Wei Jichen in her heart, she naturally thinks differently.

Use your power to help me? Wei Jichen's mind moved. Isn't it just right for Maud to register a shell company in the UK, and then he can use the name of the court to conduct bilateral trade with this shell company.

Buying machines and selling seeds, the machines bought are things in your own system, and the seeds sold are also things in your own system. Both sides can make money. Not to mention this era, even in the future, shell companies are also very popular.

The imperial court was backward and financially tight, and the governors of each province could use local finances to purchase machine guns and cannons from the powers. Of course, there would be no problem for him. He might even be able to expand the business of this fictitious British company to the whole country.

As long as it was real guns and cannons, who would care where they came from!

Thinking of this, Wei Jichen did not delay any longer, smiled and looked at Maud and said, "My princess, your chief guard needs your help..."

The next day, after the British investigation team met Maud in Lushun, they did not even conduct a substantive investigation. With Maud as an eyewitness, was it necessary to spend so much effort?

In the end, they hastily concluded that there were many residual mines in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea basin that had not been cleared, and merchant ships should pay attention to it in the future, but the final losses would still be borne by China and Japan.

The investigation team telegraphed the investigation report back to China on the same day and informed the British merchant ships of the situation.
