Chapter 225 Birthday
Chen Gu had an angry expression on his face and said he wanted to burn a few foreigners to death, which scared everyone.

In particular, a few foreigners were so frightened that they huddled together. They were indeed missionaries, but they were not very devout believers. They came to China to preach only for money.

Their understanding of faith only came from scriptures. How could they know what true faith was? Now they heard Chen Jue say he wanted to burn them to death, and they had no room to resist, and they were almost frightened to death.

The sour scholar smiled bitterly and quickly persuaded: "Leader, calm down. When two countries are at war, envoys will not be killed. Besides, there is no death penalty in my Huaxia tribe!"

Because of his understanding of Chen Gu, Suan Xiu could see that Chen Gu's anger was actually pretended. How could a man who wanted to take control of both Buddhism and Taoism be so angry just because of a few words from a few foreign monks?

Chen Gu's behavior at this time should have some plan against these foreigners, so Sour Scholar had to stand up and cooperate with the performance.

"Leader, please spare our lives!" Several foreigners were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhang Liangcai stood aside indifferently, looking like he was enjoying the show. These foreigners were indeed displeased by Jiaqing, so he was asked to bring them to Chongqing to make use of them and see if he could trick Chen Gu into believing in religion.

Who would have thought that after just a few words, Chen Gu would just burn them to death? It didn't matter that way. If Chen Gu really burned these foreigners to death, it would mean making enemies with them.

At that time, the imperial court will be able to negotiate with the foreign fleet about alliance and revenge. You know, the foreign fleet is very powerful.

After Yanhuidui was blown up by Chen Jue, foreign fleets could enter Sichuan at any time.

Of course, Chen Gu didn't really want to burn these foreigners to death. Burning them to death wouldn't bring any benefits. He just wanted to scare them first.

After the sour scholar pleaded for mercy, Chen Jue sat back down, thought for a moment, and said, "Lock them up first!"

After the guards took the foreigners away, Chen Gu looked at Zhang Liangcai and said, "When two countries are at war, they don't kill envoys. You can go back by yourself. You didn't come with sincerity, or you are not a negotiator at all.

If you want to negotiate, send someone of importance, preferably someone who comes with sincerity, such as bringing a shipload of gold and silver, or a few ships of cloth or something like that. Then I can stop the war for a while.

For the rest, forget it. Also, tell His Majesty that the negotiation period does not affect the war. It will not be too late to cease fighting when the negotiations are completed. Send orders to all prefectures and counties to prepare to gather troops to the front line and increase the intensity of the attack. "

If Jiaqing didn't talk, Chen Gu would take his time and attack at his own pace. Now that Jiaqing wants to bleed to avoid disaster, Chen Gu has to put more pressure on him.

Jiaqing is a man who is easily influenced and has a soft temper, so it would be easier to control him if we act tougher.

Zhang Liangcai's face turned pale. If this was the result of his mission to Chongqing, his career would be over.

But facing a man with such an erratic personality like Chen Jue, he really didn't have the courage to continue arguing. He could only watch Chen Jue leave the lobby, and then he could only leave dejectedly.

Chen Gu returned to the back hall, first visited Wu Qing'er and her son, and then came to Qin Ling's room.

In the past, three people lived in one room, but now that Chen Xiaoao was born, they had to live in separate rooms.

"Master!"

Seeing Chen Gu coming in, Qin Ling quickly struggled to get up, and the maid next to her hurried over to help.

Chen Ju also stepped forward to help support the other side and helped Qin Ling up. "How long have you been lying there?"

"It's been half an hour!" Qin Ling said a little embarrassedly.

Chen Gu nodded and said with a smile: "Let's go for a walk and move around!" Chen Gu helped Qin Ling walk around in the small courtyard.

"I heard you get angry just now. Who made you unhappy?" Qin Ling asked.

Chen Gu smiled and shook his head, saying: "No, I just saw a few foreigners and tried to scare them!"

"What do foreigners look like?" Qin Ling asked curiously, "Are they really people with high noses, deep eye sockets, green eyes, and red eyebrows?"

Chen Gu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's about right!"

"Doesn't it look like a ghost?" Qin Ling said with some fear.

Chen Gu thought for a moment and said, "They are not that bad, but many of them do have freckles all over their faces, thick hair, large pores, and body odor. Of course, there are also some good-looking ones!"

In fact, Westerners have not evolved perfectly and have many defects, both external and internal, such as various food allergies.

Qin Ling thought for a moment and said, "Master, I want to go see the foreigners!"

People are curious about new and unknown things, which is normal. Even in later times, foreigners would attract people's attention in some small places.

Chen Gu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go and take a look, but I have locked them up. The distance is a bit far, so find a stretcher to carry you over!"

"No, the doctor said that walking more is good for both mother and child, so let's walk more!" Qin Ling touched her belly and sighed, "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl!"

"It doesn't matter if it's sons or daughters. We are still young anyway, so we can just have more in the future!" Chen Gu said with a smile.

Chen Gu didn't know exactly how old this body of his was, but judging from the fact that it had only started to develop last year, it must be very young.

In later generations, with adequate nutrition and some videos of hormone injections, both men and women develop very early, some even in their 80s and 90s. Those born in the 1980s and 1990s develop later, at the age of 12 or 13.

As for Chen Gu's body, due to previous malnutrition, it is very likely that it was even later, perhaps fifteen or sixteen years old, or even later.

But no matter whether it is early or late, you are still young.

Qin Ling couldn't help but blush when she heard Chen Gu say to have more children, but she didn't refute. After thinking for a while, she asked, "When is Master's birthday? I've never seen Master celebrate his birthday!"

Chen Gu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It will be the day after tomorrow. Whether it passes or not, that's it!"

Chen Gu naturally didn’t know the birthday of this body, but the day after tomorrow was the day when Chen Gu came into this world, so let’s just count it as Chen Gu’s birthday. After all, it was the day of rebirth.

The two chatted as they walked out of the government office.

Snowflakes were floating in the sky. Qin Ling tried to catch them with her hands in surprise, but they melted immediately as she touched them.

Although it was a bit cold after the snowflakes melted, Qin Ling still enjoyed it. "Grandpa, it's snowing! I've never seen snow before!"
