Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Everyone in the room continued to train with a worried look on their faces.

"Ix gives you grapefruit honey!"

"It's being demolished!"

"Chai Nizi!"

……

Just when everyone was in great pain, the door opened and Zheng Qingxue walked in with a plate.

"Master, it's late, drink some tea and wake up..."

Liu Ye nodded and whispered, "Thank you, Miss Qingxue. Let's all take a break, drink some water, and moisten our throats..."

"Ah, Miss Qingxue, you are our timely helper! You are our savior!"

Upon hearing Liu Ye's order, Zhu Hai and others gathered around, flattering her louder and louder, fearing that Miss Qingxue would turn around and leave, and they would continue to suffer.

Qingxue smiled and said, "Look at what you've done. You all still call yourself real men. Just a few foreign words have made you so embarrassed?"

Several grown men immediately blushed, even Guo Songtao felt a little embarrassed. He was actually laughed at by a woman. This was intolerable!

Gao Qi said indignantly, "Miss Qingxue, please don't laugh at us. This is what people say. It's really too painful. If you have the ability, why don't you try learning it for a whole night?"

Qingxue smiled and said, "How difficult is that? It's just a few foreign words. If I can learn them, what do you think?"

Gao Qi gritted his teeth and said, "As long as the young lady can tell it, we brothers will learn it even if we die of exhaustion and hardship. We must not lose face as a man!"

Qingxue smiled cunningly and said, "Master, please tell me a few words and I will learn..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ye said, "Good evening!"

"Goodnight!"

Qingxue spoke in a clear accent.

Hahaha……

Gao Qi and a few others burst into laughter!

"My timely rain, yours is not even as good as ours. At least, we can still imitate it to some extent, but yours is completely unrelated, hahahaha..."

"Shut up!"

Liu Ye shouted loudly, scaring several people so much that they immediately shut their mouths and looked at Guo Ye in confusion.

Liu Ye's heart was like a churning sea. Oh my goodness, this girl actually knows English! Absolutely, definitely knows English. Although I don't know how good her level is, just one sentence shows that she definitely knows it!

"You're pretty girl!"

"Thank you! I'm very happy!"

Several people looked at Liu Ye and Zheng Qingxue speaking foreign languages ​​in unison, their heads completely bewildered and not understanding what was going on.

Liu Ye became even more convinced that there was absolutely no problem with this girl's English. Her answers came out without any hesitation at all, and she spoke without hesitation. This was definitely not something a novice could compare to!

Hahaha!

Liu Ye laughed out loud, thinking, "God is helping me!" He was just worrying about not having a teacher, and now a cute Lin Daiyu who speaks fluent English has fallen from the sky!

After Liu Ye finished laughing, he looked at Gao Qi and said harshly, "Gao Qi, was the bet you made with Miss Qingxue just now just for you, or on behalf of everyone behind you?"

Gao Qi stiffened his neck and replied, "Sir, that goes without saying. We brothers have always stood together. Once one person speaks, it's the opinion of all of us, so it naturally represents them all!"

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Okay, a gentleman's word is as good as gold. I can tell you clearly that what Miss Qingxue said just now is absolutely correct. It's excellent. I'm afraid his level may not surpass mine, but that's almost there! Just admit it. You said you would learn it even if it means dying of exhaustion or suffering!"

Gao Qi shook his head fiercely and asked, "Sir, are you mistaken? You demanded that not even a single word of us be wrong. Why did the standards change when it came to Miss Qingxue? What he said is completely irrelevant..."

Liu Ye sneered, "You know shit! He doesn't need to learn from me in a rigid way anymore. He can just speak to me directly in English. If you want to reach his level, you'll need to practice for at least three to five years! Just admit defeat!"

At this moment, Guo Songtao, who was standing by, suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "How could I have forgotten this? When Brother Zheng Yi was in the capital, he was famous for his proficiency in foreign languages. He made the acquaintance of many foreigners! He definitely has a family background in learning. He definitely has a family background in learning!"

Before Gao Qi could even regret his words, Zhu Hai and Gao E, who were standing behind him, had already knocked him to the ground. They were already beating him up. "Who the hell called you a mouthy son of a bitch? You, damn it, even wanted to make a bet on our behalf? Now you've got us all in this. Beat you to death, you bastard!"

Ah, ah, ah, ah…

Gao Qi kept screaming, "What a wretch! What a wretch! I just lost a month's salary, and now I'm being beaten up by my brothers! No one could be more unlucky than me!"

Liu Ye smiled and said, "I never thought that our beautiful Miss Qingxue is actually such a talented woman. My apologies, my apologies!"

Qingxue chuckled and said, "You're too polite, sir. Your English is truly excellent, just as good as the pastor who taught me. Uncle Guo was right. My father was indeed proficient in English and French and could communicate with Westerners without any obstacles. It's a pity that he didn't live long enough..."

"You said that Lord Zheng is also proficient in foreign languages?"

Guo Songtao, standing aside, replied, "That's right, my dear brother. Back in the capital, Lord Zheng Yi was renowned for his mastery of foreign languages. Unfortunately, the Hanlin scholars all dismissed him as a foreign language, believing it useless to learn. Now, look at us. During negotiations with the foreigners, we've suffered a great deal because we didn't have an interpreter..."

"asshole!"

Liu Ye was furious and bitter, his teeth itching with hatred. Damn it, how easy is it to find someone proficient in foreign languages ​​these days? I've searched all over the capital, and they're as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns! I just learned that a colleague had this ability, but he was killed by the Nian bandits first. It's truly deplorable and intolerable!

"Gao Qi, send someone to tell Yan Chunyu to take his own head in the upcoming battle against the Nian bandits. If he doesn't get me 20 heads of Nian bandit generals, I'll take his own head! I'm going to take revenge, I'm going to take revenge severely! A talent like Lord Zheng was brutally murdered by them. It's truly intolerable!"

"twitter!"

Gao Qi had two panda eyes, groaned loudly, and ran out like a flash. He couldn't stay here anymore, otherwise he would be tortured to death by his brothers!

Liu Ye looked at Qingxue and asked, "Miss Qingxue, I wonder if you can still contact those foreign pastors who are on good terms with your father? I need to find them!"

Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "That's hard to say. They're all missionaries, spreading the gospel of Christianity everywhere. They have no fixed place to live. I can only write a few letters to try and see."

Liu Ye shouted, "Okay, Miss, I'll trouble you then. Find them. I want to hire them with a large salary and even allow them to preach within a specific area. The only condition is that they stay in Jinan. I need them to be my staff!"
