September 24th, 1860.
The sky had just brightened when Li Qing, who was in high spirits, walked into the other tent surrounded by the ministers.
Compared to the first contact between the two parties yesterday, today's meeting was clearly much more formal.
Other than Qie Mi Er, there were also two more French staff officers among the alliance army's representatives. The Qing side was still led by the Gong Prince, with the Monk King and Bao Yun as the deputy. Li Qing had sent someone to invite Bao Yun back overnight. When he went to the Old Summer Palace, Baoyun was leading the guards to make wooden boxes. It took them three days to sort out the rare paintings and calligraphy in the Weizao Hall of the Spring Garden.
After a heated debate, the two sides reached a preliminary agreement as follows:
September 24th, 1860, August 11th, 10th year of Xianfeng, Baliqiao.
Now because the two countries are not satisfied, the Great Emperor of Qing Dynasty and the Great King of Great Britain agreed to make peace, so as to ensure that the two countries will not be at odds in the future. For this reason, the Great Emperor of the Qing Dynasty specially sent Prince He Shuogong to express his gratitude. The Great Eagle Great Monarch sent a special internal court to suggest that he should be awarded the title of first-class treasure star. At the meeting of national politics, he was given the hereditary title of Earl Erjin of the two counties of Erojin and Jinkaertian.
At the public meeting, each of them reviewed the imperial edicts and edicts issued by the ministers with full authority in their respective countries, and found that they were all appropriate. The agreed additional treaty is now listed on the left.
[1. From the signing of this agreement, the allied forces will include the 1st Brigade led by Yaman, the 2nd Brigade led by Clint, and 5 artillery regiments.] The 15th Punjab Regiment, the Marine Corps, the 99th Regiment, and an artillery regiment under Grant's command, a total of 6,000 soldiers, were used as ransom to exchange for the captured Sikh Cavalry Regiment and the Royal Dragon Cavalry.
Second, the Qing Kingdom is responsible for the safety of the allied forces. They are not allowed to interfere with the activities of the allied forces within the stipulated scope and ensure the basic living supplies of the allied forces.

Note: This agreement is only temporary and will be effective until the formal agreement is confirmed.
On the afternoon of the day the agreement was signed, Li Qing personally led a team to escort a large amount of food and water to the allied forces 'base. The commanders of both sides had a tacit understanding that they did not meet. You took my supplies, I took your guns and ammunition. As for the scope of activities, Li Qing waved his pen and settled the allied forces in Zhangjiawan, and placed heavy guards around it.
As for Li Qing, Wen Xiang and Bao Yun carried him to the carriage and rushed to the capital.
......
This was the first time Li Qing had truly entered the capital since his rebirth. However, the real experience seemed to be a little different from what he had expected, or rather, it was a world of difference.
Before his rebirth, Li Qing had seen photos of the Qing Dynasty's capital on the Internet. Therefore, he had expected that filth and disorder would be his bottom line. However, what Li Qing did not expect was that the bottom line was like a world record. The meaning of its existence was to be broken. In Li Qing's opinion, the bottom line was like this. There was no dirtiest, only dirtier, no messiest, only messier…
Through the carriage, he saw the ground covered in rotten fruits and leaves. It was surrounded by flies and mosquitoes. The worst thing was the traffic safety.
After entering Guang 'an Gate, Li Qing's carriage had only traveled less than 500 meters after about ten minutes. The passers-by wedged themselves into the gaps, so the carriage could not move at all. Li Qing, who was used to traffic order since he was young, couldn't accept such an environment for a while.
Wen Xiang, who was sitting with him, saw that his face was gradually turning gloomy and asked tentatively,""Wangye, why don't we get off the carriage and walk? This place isn't far from the Prince's mansion. We just need to cross this road and turn a corner.”
Seeing the crowd in front of him, Li Qing could only nod and take the lead.
Walking among the crowd, Li Qing could not help but think of the bus " Salty Pig Hands " of the later generation. It seemed that they were really born in the wrong era. However, Li Qing quickly discovered the reason. No wonder there were no such strange things on such a crowded road. It turned out that there were pedestrians along the way, men and women, old and young, but young girls were missing! Li Qing couldn't help but feel ashamed, but at the same time, he felt a trace of regret in his heart. It seemed that he lacked the greatest joy of walking.
Moreover, the clothes of the pedestrians were not the same as those in ancient dramas in the future. The colors of the clothes were different. Li Qing walked along the way, and the colors were very monotonous. Most of them were wearing gray robes. Occasionally, he saw a few pedestrians wearing silk. They were also monotonous bright black or simple and elegant grayish-white.
Even he, a prince, wore a black silk robe.
This made Li Qing sigh,"TV dramas are all lies!"
However, the most classic scene of a street hero saving a damsel in distress in a TV drama was real. Just as Li Qing thought that this group of people were dressed so well that if someone stole something, he would not be able to tell which thief was who. A wretched man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks rushed towards Li Qing.
"Hey! I'm talking to you. Stay away from Master!" Li Qing's personal guard had originally planned to stand in front of Li Qing, but there were too many people, so he could only point at the man.
However, the man clearly did not take the guard's warning to heart. Instead, he sped up and bumped into Li Qing.
Li Qing, who was kind-hearted, pure, and lived in a good era, did not have so many brain circuits. He did not expect to encounter a thief in broad daylight. After seeing the wretched man leave without even apologizing, Li Qing could only admit that he was unlucky and patted his clothes. He continued to walk forward until the personal guard squeezed over and whispered into Li Qing's ear,"Wangye, this humble servant suspects that the person just now was a small thief. Before he goes far, you'd better take a look to see if anything was stolen!”
Li Qing quickly touched his body and found that other than the purse hanging on his waist that contained scattered silver, there were no other useful items missing. However, for Li Qing who had never been " laid " before, whether in his previous life or this life, how could he tolerate this?
Thus, Li Qing, who was full of evil interests, immediately learned the plot from the TV series and shouted,"Catch the thief! A thief stole my purse!"
Before he could finish his sentence, all the people in the surroundings turned into 'Morning Sun', looking left and right. At this moment, a sneaky man lowered his head and went into the alley.
The sharp-eyed Li Qing recognized the man at a glance. It was not that Li Qing had a photographic memory, but that guy looked too wretched. Li Qing even dared to say that the most wretched person in the crowd was definitely him.
Li Qing wondered how a person like him could enter this industry. He wasn't afraid of being caught and beaten to death by that hot-tempered burly man.
When the perverted man saw that Li Qing had discovered him, he quickly ran into the alley and ran out.
At this moment, a young woman in a blue robe and green pants suddenly flew up to the roof from the other side. She gently stepped on a tile and flew to another roof.
That figure simply blinded Li Qing's eyes.
Li Qing couldn't help but sigh,"Could this be the legendary chivalrous woman? But it seems that her clothes match a little…" Forget it, this was probably the specialty of a chivalrous woman!
