Chapter 332 The respective channels (thanks to Shili Piaofei)
"Mr. Wang, we will soon send an action team to protect your safety." Ji Mingshan said to Wang Tao seriously.
Wang Tao did not expect that Ji Mingshan would do this, and quickly waved his hand and said: "Minister Ji, this is unnecessary. You see, I have been here in Europe for a long time. Although the security here is not very good, it only targets the lower class people and rarely targets them.
Attack of the Nobles."
Wang Tao has been in Europe for more than a year and has never been in any danger.
Obviously he would not believe that someone in Europe would attack him as an envoy.
There were already a few bodyguards around him, and he thought this was enough.
This is also a common saying in Europe that the two countries will not kill the envoys during the war. The status of an envoy is almost a gold medal for immunity from death wherever he goes.
"Mr. Wang, please don't refuse. You are the only person we have on our side in Europe. If you are no longer here, then naturally no one among us will be able to attend this meeting."
"Before we set off, the president made a statement, that is, to delay the end of this war as much as possible. I think you can understand this with your knowledge."
Ji Mingshan continued to persuade. He still felt that Wang Tao's identity was too important. After working in the Intelligence Department for a long time, conspiracies and conspiracies would always pop up in his mind unconsciously, including his own and others'.
He knows that countries will not abide by the rules as they appear on the surface.
As long as there are enough interests, some people will come out to break the established rules.
In the end, he let Yang Bao's second action team secretly be responsible for protecting Wang Tao.
"Mr. Wang, our action team will not interfere with your normal activities. You should always have your bodyguard with you."
"Okay, Minister Ji, I hope this won't affect your work."
"No, our recent job is to serve you. But you'd better be more vigilant recently and try not to go to sparsely populated or remote places." Ji Mingshan advised again.
He was very worried about scholars like Wang Tao. Sometimes these people did things based on their own mood.
After the meeting, everyone put on their hooded windbreakers and left in a carriage.
In particular, several intelligence team leaders all have their own identities. They usually do not go to gatherings in the manor, so the risk of exposure is too high.
Now their organization has just been established and has not attracted the attention of others. If someone checks them in the future, it will be easily exposed.
However, if they take some actions in the future, someone will notice them sooner or later.
Shi Yang returned to his clinic and became the Taoist Taoist priest of traditional Chinese medicine.
His techniques are really good, especially acupuncture and massage, which have immediate effects on relieving the pain of chronic diseases.
In the afternoon he was going to a count's home to give him a massage, which the patient had made an appointment for in advance.
This count was an old Austrian general. He always boasted to Shi Yang about his heroic performance in the anti-French war.
Maybe it was because he rode too many horses back then. This old man broke his waist from riding. As he got older, he often had attacks and the pain was unbearable, making him unable to move.
Shi Yang can now communicate simply with his patients in German.
Don't think it's ridiculous that these people can speak a language in half a year. Nowadays, it takes more than ten years for children to learn English.
These intelligence officers specialize in learning a language, and they also learn communication terms. In addition, they have the context to practice, so it is not surprising that they can communicate in this language in a short time.
Arriving at the count's mansion, Shi Yang was quickly taken to the bedroom by a servant carrying a medicine box on his back.
The uncle was lying on a narrow one-meter-wide massage table. He was an old patient, and he had obviously made all the preparations.
"Dr. Shi, thank you for your hard work." The old count was still very polite to Shi Yang.
The technique of this Chinese doctor is indeed very miraculous. He seems to have mysterious power in his hands, which can relieve his pain every time.
Shi Yang first helped him with massage for half an hour. Shi Yang had seen an autopsy in the hospital for this kind of lumbar disc herniation and knew the pathology of this disease.
Traditional Chinese medicine also has treatments for this disease.
This disease is difficult to eradicate even with traditional Chinese medicine, unless the patient undergoes surgery, but there is also a risk of recurrence.
After the massage, Shi Yang performed acupuncture on the old count. The old count had seen such thin and long silver needles.
They feel tingling when pressed on the body, which is very comfortable.
After the injection was completed, Shi Yang took a long breath. This was a physical job.
The maid on the side handed over a clean towel.
Shi Yang took the towel and wiped the sweat from his head.
The old count felt much better and no longer moaned in pain as he did at the beginning.
"Dr. Shi, I told you last time that you would come to my manor to be a personal doctor. How do you think about it?"
Shi Yang is now the old earl's life-saving straw, and the old earl always wants to help him keep it for himself.
"My Lord Count, you see, I am the only Chinese medicine clinic in Vienna. If I come to your house, what will happen to my other patients?"
"We in China have a saying called doctors' benevolence. When we practice medicine, we are doing good deeds for ourselves. In your words, only in this way can we go to heaven," Shi Yang said.
"Okay, but you can come to my place as a guest when you have time. You don't have to go to the clinic all the time." The earl was a little regretful, but he understood.
Your uncle pays back to your uncle, regardless of national boundaries. This uncle, after feeling a little more comfortable on his waist, started to brag about his great achievements on the battlefield.
"Lord Earl, if you can listen to my instructions and take Chinese medicine, you will be able to continue riding on the battlefield soon." Shi Yang said.
This old man has always been afraid of taking Chinese medicine. I don’t know if it is because he is afraid of the bitter taste or for some other reason.
"This really doesn't work, Doctor Shi. I can try the medicinal wine you mentioned last time."
Shi Yang smiled and nodded helplessly.
"Hey, but even if things get better, there's still no battle to fight." The old earl said with some disappointment.
"How could it be? I heard that His Majesty the Emperor sent troops to fight the Russians?" Shi Yang asked pretending to be curious.
"This... Doctor Shi, you don't understand. Europe is very complicated."
The old earl's chatterbox was suddenly opened again and he entered your uncle mode. The old earl, who was mature and sophisticated, said: "This time, it is said that it is to help Turkey fight against Russian aggression. In fact, the British are just afraid that the Russians will become bigger.
, the little Napoleon of France wants to regain the glory of his uncle, the Kingdom of Sardinia is just trying to please France, and our respected Joseph I just wants to keep Wallachia and Moldavia, Austria's seaport is absolutely
It cannot fall into the hands of the Tsarist Russians."
It’s your uncle after all! Even a novice like Shi Yang seems to understand.
Shi Yang decided that he would get closer to this old man in the future.
"According to what you say, this war is about to end?"
"How can it be so fast? The Tsarist Russians are very stubborn and they will not give in so quickly. Unless the Savastopol Fortress is captured in Crimea, the Russians will not give in."
It seems that this man usually pays close attention to the progress of the war.
The uncle continued to talk for a while, but Shi Yang did not continue to ask questions, otherwise it would not be in line with his usually taciturn persona.
When Shi Yang left, the uncle asked everyone to bring a large bag of things.
Shi Yang weighed it with his hands and knew it was the bone of some kind of animal.
After all, it's your uncle who got it so quickly. This should be a whole one.
Shi Yang took the things and said goodbye, promising to deliver medicinal wine after a while.
Darling, I gave you so much at once, it was enough for Shi Yang to brew dozens of jars of medicinal wine.
Another reason why he left in a hurry was to go back and sort out the news he heard this time and hand it in.
In the evening, Shi Yang went to the opera house.
Tonight, Liu Ru has a performance. An organization similar to a brokerage company has appeared here in Vienna.
If you want your performance to become popular, you must rely on these companies.
Liu Ru's company is her team, which has full-time intelligence personnel, most of whom are women for convenience. There are also some peripheral personnel, who are all hired locally.
There are already many people in Vienna who rely on the performances of artists to make a living, and as long as they are willing to spend money, they can hire professionals.
These people sometimes help Gao Ru's intelligence team collect some information, but they are not that sensitive.
After all, they had not been in Vienna long and could not really control these people.
Shi Yang bought a general ticket and entered the theater.
This theater is divided into two floors. The upper floor is reserved for nobles. Ordinary people can only sit on the first floor to enjoy the theater.
The curtain opened, and Gao Ru, dressed in red, appeared in front of everyone. Today she performed the guzheng.
This musical instrument best embodies the classical beauty of Chinese women.
A staff member behind the curtain turned the hand-cranked fan vigorously. A breeze blew Gao Ru's hair and the long red ribbon on her head.
Although it was just a simple trick, it immediately enhanced the atmosphere of the scene.
This Chinese girl's performance is always refreshing.
Last time she played the pipa, and the stage was fogged with dry ice, like a fairyland, so more people came to this performance.
I saw her hands falling gently, and at this time the stage lights were reflected on her hands through the condenser.
A pair of slender, jade-like hands were displayed in front of the audience. At this time, all the audience's eyes were attracted by these hands.
She slowly stroked the thin strings, and the beautiful notes jumped out briskly one by one, playing a classical tune, using the piano to outline the moving beauty of Jian Jia.
She lowered her head and sang from time to time, and the words that came out of her mouth became smoother, like a flowing stream, bringing people into a beautiful state of mind. Most of the people present could not understand the words composed of these words, but they gave people a sense of
Natural and simple feeling.
Just like when we listen to some foreign songs, we don't understand the meaning of the lyrics, but we can tell whether it sounds good or not.
Gao Ru played a total of ten pieces of music, each with a different style.
Some of them are deep and profound; some are tear-jerking and desolate; some are gentle and beautiful; some are majestic and powerful.
Playing so many pieces at once and singing them a cappella places high demands on a performer's physical strength.
Shi Yang knew about this girl's past, and he understood that this woman had a willpower that was unmatched by ordinary people. Although she was very beautiful and even a little charming, no one in the team dared to provoke her.
She was originally a rose for people to admire, but now her body is covered with thorns.
Let her watch from a distance but not play with it!
The performance finally ended. The reason why Shi Yang came to enjoy the performance was not because he was interested in Gao Ru, but because he often appeared at the performance, which would make his public contact with Gao Ru less awkward in the future.
Gao Ru's thread must be buried very deep in the future, and there should be no flaws at all.
Maybe one day, those big shots who want to get in touch with her will send people to investigate her.
The performance finally ended, and Gao Ru seemed a little tired. With the help of her assistant, she walked backstage.
I just drank some water and rested for a while.
A maid in palace clothes walked in.
"Hello, miss, my master would like to invite you to come over." Every movement of the maid seemed to have gone through long-term training.
It feels decent, very decent.
"Well, please wait a moment."
Gao Ru had received special guidance and knew that such a maid should be from the palace, so her master would be ready to appear.
She did not ask who the other party's owner was, as that would be extremely impolite behavior.
She endured her tired body and followed the maid to a private room.
There was a woman sitting in the box who was made of pink and jade. She was so beautiful that even Gao Ru felt ashamed.
She wore a pink corset with huge bustles that highlighted her curves.
She is slender than most European ladies, and her face is more petite and delicate, with a straight bridge of nose, delicate tip of nose, and bright red and sexy lips.
It's as beautiful as a finely crafted work of art.
Gao Ru bowed gracefully.
"Hello, can you understand what I say?" Princess Sissi asked. When she spoke, she seemed very sincere, just like a girl from home.
"Yes, who are you?" Gao Ru didn't hesitate at all. She is a Chinese and will not be like Europeans, who will feel excited when a noble favors her.
"Oh, I am..." She was just about to introduce herself when the female officer next to her said first: "This is the Queen of Austria."
Gao Ru quickly saluted Princess Sissi again.
Princess Sissi looked at the female officer with some displeasure, as if she was blaming the other party for revealing her identity.
"Ah, you don't have to worry about this. Can I go see the instruments you play?" Princess Sissi asked impatiently.
She was a woman who longed for freedom. Before marrying Joseph I, she had been growing up in an unrestrained environment, which shaped her current character.
"I am happy to serve you, Your Highness. I wonder if you are here to watch or go to the backstage?" Gao Ru asked.
"Go to your backstage, I've wanted to take a look there for a long time." Princess Sissi said excitedly.
Gao Ru led the way in her bright red silk dress.
"Ah, was your skirt brought from China? It's so beautiful, and it should be very comfortable to wear, right?" Princess Sissi stared at Gao Ru's long skirt.
In this era, European aristocratic women have gradually opened up and begun to pursue trends.
Obviously Gao Ru's outfit attracted her very much. She looked at the corset and wide skirt on her body and found that it was not only too hot but also very heavy.
But the long skirt Gao Ru was wearing moved with the wind when she moved. Only wearing such clothes gives you a feeling of freedom.
Princess Sissi looked at it with a little envy in her heart. Although she was a queen, she might not be able to wear such clothes because there were many palace etiquette that restricted her.
"Yes, Queen, I brought this over from China."
"So beautiful!" Princess Sissi admired.
"Queen, if you like it, tell me your size, and I can have it made for you in China. But that will take a lot of time. If you are in a hurry, I can also make it for you, but my craftsmanship
not good."
"Wow, you can also make clothes, that's really awesome."
"Well, Queen, in China every woman must learn to make clothes before she gets married."
"Really? Then do your queens and princesses also need to learn?"
"Yeah, of course."
By this time they had already reached the backstage.
A guzheng is placed there.
Princess Sissi looked at this instrument carefully. It was slightly similar to a harp, but seemed to be more complicated than the harp.
She tried to pluck the strings, but her fingers hurt.
"Queen, you must wear armor on your fingers when playing the guzheng." As he said this, Gao Ru brought a new pair of armor to Princess Sissi, and then told her how to play.
There are commonalities between stringed instruments. Princess Sissi was able to easily master the method of playing them very quickly.
But the time for her to return soon came.
Princess Sissi was a little reluctant to leave. She felt very relaxed when she was with Gao Ru. Maybe it was because she came from a mysterious country. There didn't seem to be such a strong status difference between them.
Gao Ru will not be as flattering and flattering as other noble women.
Before leaving, Princess Sissi invited Gao Ru to go to the palace regularly to teach her how to play oriental instruments.
Although Gao Ru didn't get any information today, she got the opportunity to get close to the most powerful woman in Austria. This gain was more valuable than any information.
