Everything had never been smooth sailing before, there were countless unexpected accidents. When Samuel fell into the water and was unconscious, Beijing's Palace immediately gave out orders.

On the one hand, he sent an urgent note to the Qing Ting and the Chinese, requesting both Governments to provide all their resources to do their utmost to save the famous explorer that the British people loved.

On the other hand, the embassy sent professionals to the northwest to investigate the truth immediately!

At the same time, Gordon and his group who had just arrived in Xi An City immediately stayed in place, waiting for their orders. Immediately afterwards, the Beijing British Minister sent an emergency cable to London.

On the surface, everything was going according to the normal diplomatic process, but everyone could feel the anger of the British. From the beginning to the end, they had been very determined to investigate further.

From their mouths it was a premeditated murder, not an accident!

General Gui Six and the others had never resolved this kind of diplomatic incident before, the ministers of Head Office were all in a state of confusion.

So what if the British protested? If they were concerned, they were concerned. If they asked the Qing Ting to cooperate, they would send a few people over to take a look … What did this mean? Who was that Samuel? None of them knew.

In the hearts of these officials, wasn't it just a dead explorer? This kind of person would wander around the world with nothing to do all day long. They were all bugs, so it was better to not worry about them when they died!

You, the British large nose, also have a problem, and you want the authorities to investigate this kind of person who has nothing to do with production? Isn't it just one drop of water? Even if there wasn't a hundred thousand a day, there would still be at least ten thousand.

Compared to the Qing Ting's disregard for him, the Chinese held him in high regard. When the British note reached the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, only 24 hours later, the Chinese reacted quickly.

The entire Chinese media started to move. What was unexpected was that all the Chinese newspapers actually placed the glory of discovering the Dunhuang on Sai Mouerbeike.

The front page of the telegram showed Xiao Letian's concern for him. In it, the Head of State praised Sir Sai Mouerbeike's noble character and professionalism.

A Expedition was formed from England and travelled across the entire Central Asia. He went deep into the battlefield to comfort the soldiers of the Qing Army who were fighting bitterly in the Western Regions.

What kind of spirit was this? This is the fearless humanity of internationalism! This was a benevolent action that could be compared with the lantern goddess Nightingale!

Not only that, Mr. Samuel even used his most professional archaeological experience to find the two thousand years old Tibetan Meridian Cave! Ancient literature and Western Regions culture remnants from the two centuries were revealed. The number of books and pictures exceeded a hundred thousand …

The headlines had almost turned Samuel into a saint, and the appearance of this article had caused a huge uproar in the public!

"Where is the Dunhuang? Guizhou? The place where Marshal Zuo fought? "

"What is a Mogao's cave? Why have I never heard of it? And there's even a Tibetan Meridian Cave … "

"Good boy, did you hide all the documents from the Jin and Jin dynasties until the Yuan Dynasty? How many treasures are there!? "

The Chinese scholars were completely shocked. Not to mention the Buddhist scriptures and scriptures, even the ancient works of art were priceless treasures. Especially since the Jin Dynasty was an important period for Chinese calligraphy to mature.

The real works of this era were simply priceless!

Public opinion immediately stirred up. Ordinary citizens did not understand about cultural matters, but they did understand about war. Upon hearing that Master Yang was traversing the desert, risking his life to help the Emperor console the army, what was the point of that!

Even the script had never been so wonderful!

The ancient and unfamiliar name of Dunhuang spread around the world just like this, at the speed of light. It was all thanks to the slowly taking shape of the global telegraph network.

From the looks of it, in less than a week, even City of London knew about it!

The British Embassy staff in the Great Qing did not expect the Chinese to do this. The case had not been investigated properly yet and they had already started to spread it widely!

Many of the foreign nationals started to ponder. Could it be that the Chinese really did not kill them? Why else would they take the initiative to advertise? Would a guilty person do this?

Before the people could understand what Xiao Letian was doing, Tongzhi, who was about to board the ship in Shanghai, also voiced out!

Emperor Tongzhi sent a message of condolences to the British Embassy. In the telegram, he praised Samuel's achievements, and thanked him for bringing the Expedition across the Central Asia, and called him 'the friend of the Great Qing'.

Although Tongzhi did not have a personal authority, he still gave the order to the Beijing. Let alone whether or not anyone listened to him, they had to do it to the fullest!

Ordering the government to cooperate fully with the British investigation, Samuel and his men had to be welcomed at the highest level!

My god, the Chinese and the Qing Ting... Of course it was Zai Chun's Qing Ting, who had completely turned Samuel into a saint, and had used all kinds of Honor Halo to play with him!

However, just as public opinion was bragging about it, an emergency telegram came from the northwest. The remnants of Yaqub's rebel army who had turned into bandits were harassing the English Expedition, and as many as 500 Horse Bandits were fighting with the officials on the day of the announcement. Samuel was trapped near the west side of the Yumen Pass.

What a fellow! Even under the propaganda of such public opinion, there were still rebel soldiers who dared to harass Heshai. This was a great disgrace to the imperial government.

Military Intelligence Service and Head Office joined forces to produce electricity from Zuo Zongtang, requesting him to send an army to escort Mr. Samuel out.

The order was immediately followed by waves of ruthless reports about Yaqub's rebel army, Qing Ting also started to learn how to use public opinion.

In an instant, the entire Qing Dynasty became very excited, and they started to unite against the rebel army in the northwest!

Outside the Jade Gate Pass, six hundred Zuo Zongtang's cavalry had already planted a defensive circle around the desert. Outside the ring was the ferocious Horse Bandits of the rebel army.

Although the casualties were small, the situation was extremely intense. Samuel had already been stuck here for three days!

His lips were pale and cracked, his face ashen. Samuel was no longer alive, surrounded by his disciples and many years of loyal soldiers and assistants.

At the end of the day, Samuel woke up temporarily. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the familiar face. His lips quivered as if he wanted to say something.

He was going to leave behind his last words. At the very least, he was going to tell his own disciple to send his precious personal notebook back home!

But who knew how much of the medicine the doctor had used? Samuel cried out, but no words came out.

In his heart, he kept shouting, "Notebook..." Return Notebook... "There's a secret …"

However, he couldn't say it out loud. He couldn't even say a single word!

"Don't worry sir, we will definitely avenge you! We must catch the murderer!"
