"What the hell are you crying about? Get out of here..." Shopkeeper Fan and Third Master Qing kicked away the man who was kneeling in front of Xiao Letian. Third Master Qing pinched Xiao Letian's throat and said, "I'll ask you again." The last sentence, are you a member of the bandits..."
"Master Qing, think about it carefully. If I was part of a group of bandits, how could they attack me before I could get away? Besides, the bandits didn't kill people when they robbed me. They didn't even shout. This was clearly revenge. , you two think carefully about whether there is any life and death enemy coming to your door..."
Xiao Letian's super analytical ability played a decisive role at the critical moment. His legs were shaking with fear, adrenaline was secreting rapidly, and his lower back was sore. But his mind is not chaotic, but is getting clearer and clearer. In his previous life, he participated in business negotiations a lot, and he knows the tricks. Now he must not give up under any circumstances, otherwise he will die.
Modern people who have lived in peaceful times for a long time will definitely be scared when encountering such a scene of murder and robbery for the first time, but capable people and incompetent people respond to fear differently. Xiao Letian's legs were shaking like chaff but his mind was unusually calm and he was able to make the right decision in the face of the situation. However, ordinary mediocre people would probably scream or be dumbfounded when encountering such a scene.
"Master Qing, Shopkeeper Fan, let me tell you the truth. Boy, I look weird. That's because I grew up overseas. You just heard that I am as fluent in foreign languages as Lewis." Sir, think about what kind of bandit can use a spy like me?"
"To put it bluntly, even in the Lifan Yuan in Beijing, there is no one like me who can speak foreign languages so fluently. With my ability, how can I not make a living? Why should I be a spy for bandits? ?”
Perhaps it was Xiao Letian's eloquence and his frank eyes that convinced the two of them. They heard a popping sound as the tied hemp rope was cut by Qing Sanye, and he inserted the dagger into the ground. "I will believe you for the time being." Once, you held this dagger to defend yourself. It was so unlucky that I met a foreign devil and a Japanese devil, who really caused trouble for me..."
After the Second Opium War, the Western powers obtained missionary rights throughout the Qing Dynasty. Since 1860, foreigners have gradually entered the interior. Now the biggest headache for local governments is foreigners. If any foreigner has a problem under their rule, I am afraid that all All local officials will be blamed.
Xiao Letian rubbed his numb wrist and went back to find Father Lewis. He was shocked when he saw that Lewis and Simon had two bullet chains each, tied crosswise on their bodies, and leather holsters around their waists. The last two Colt revolvers were loaded with bullets. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"Xiao, I have an extra pistol here. Do you know how to use it? Use it for self-defense..." After saying that, he shook his left hand and threw out a gun. The rotating pistol stopped in front of Xiao Letian like a magic trick. Damn it, is this still a priest? They are two cowboys from the American West. When I looked behind them, I saw that each of them was carrying a cowboy hat.
"Oh my God, you two are not from Texas, are you? Were you a cowboy before becoming a pastor? This cowboy is so good at drawing a gun..." Xiao Letian used to watch Western movies a lot, and he was very interested in these tricks. familiar.
Lewis' eyes immediately lit up, "Are you really an American? I believe more and more that you are a gift from God to me. It is my greatest honor to meet a friend like you while traveling in the Qing Dynasty... "
"Haha, it's an honor and an honor, but let me tell you..." Xiao Letian suddenly lowered his voice and leaned into Lewis's ear, "Let God bless us. If we can get out alive, I will give you information... No, no, no, it should be It is said to be a divine revelation, a divine revelation that can affect the destiny of your country..."
Just when Lewis wanted to ask further, suddenly there was a loud killing sound on the gentle slopes on both sides of the business road. The trees shook as if there were countless people walking through the woods, and from time to time, arrows were shot in twos and threes.
Third Master Qing tilted his head, and held a serrated wolf tooth arrow in his right hand. At that time, he almost frightened the third master, "Sawtooth wolf tooth arrow? When will the bandits be able to use such sharp weapons?" What I said is not wrong at all. Look at the arrows made of fine iron. Once the barbs pierce into the flesh, you can't pull them out at all. Update as soon as possible
"This is not an ordinary bandit, definitely not..." Just when the third master was in a daze, Xiao Letian rushed over and saw the problem with just one glance. "Damn, such an exquisite arrow cannot be made by a bandit. It's impossible for anyone except the regular army of the Qing Dynasty to be equipped with such bows and arrows! Qing Sanye, think about it, this must be seeking revenge..."
Regardless of whether he was seeking revenge or not, Mr. Qing couldn't stay in a daze. He picked up the ancestral horn and rode a bow. He bent the bow and shot the wolf-fang arrow with a whoosh. He only heard a muffled groan in the grass, as if There are people injured.
At this time, Lewis and Simon also came up to support. Two cowboys, one old and one young, fired volleys from left to right. Whenever there was any movement in the bushes, they fired two shots. White smoke was everywhere. Two cowboys plus a Qing Dynasty marksman, the two long-range firepower of cold weapons and hot weapons echoed each other, and the fight was extremely lively for a while.
What the chaotic crowd needed most was a leader. After the four-person resistance team was formed, the guys from the caravan and the soldiers brought by Mr. Qing all began to rely on the terrain to fight back as if they had found a backbone. Some were hiding behind trees and shooting arrows, some were running around with knives to gather large animals, and there were even some men who pulled out shotguns from carts and were pouring iron sand into them.
After a while, the entire caravan was almost gathered in a pile. The sound of bows and arrows and the crackle of shotguns were everywhere on the trade road. The white smoke choked people and kept coughing. Update as soon as possible
"Wait, stop fighting, something is wrong, the taste is wrong...cough cough cough..." Xiao Letian suddenly jumped up like crazy after resisting for about a quarter of an hour. "Look at the bushes over there, they were swept by two shotguns." Why are you still swaying after doing it once..." Everyone saw that it was not the case. The bushes were smashed by iron sand, but they continued to sway.
Xiao Letian didn't know where he got the courage at this time. With a dagger in one hand and a revolver in the other, he crawled on the ground and crawled forward. "Simon, follow me and cover me..." The two of them climbed to the edge of the bush after a while. Simon rushed in first like a black panther, followed closely by Xiao Letian.
"Holy shit, I fell into the trap..." The crowd saw Xiao Letian rushing to the left side of the bushes. The revolver in his hand was fired, and the target was behind a big white stone.
Many years later, when Xiao Letian recalled the scene, he was still scared. He didn't understand why he was so impulsive at that time. Why did you become the first person?
Colt revolvers are famous for being easy to operate, and even untrained people can easily master them. Xiao Letian and Simon advanced in a zigzag manner, and soon discovered the strangeness behind the stone. Damn it, there was actually a person pulling a rope there. There were more than a dozen ropes pulling several bushes. This was a pure tactic.
When the bandit saw Xiao Letian rushing over, he let go of the rope and grabbed the knife and rushed forward. At that moment, Xiao Letian clearly saw the beating flesh on his face and the fierce light in his eyes. Xiao Letian didn't hesitate at all on the line between life and death. The remaining four bullets in the revolver were all used up without a single shot left.
The sound of gunshots, the dull impact of bullets penetrating muscles and bones, the frantic screams of bandits before they died, and of course the sound of the sudden mountain wind all over the mountain, all the sounds were tangled together and squeezed into Xiao Letian's ears. , there is only one sentence in the end: "You killed someone, your kid killed someone..."
Xiao Letian killed the bandit. The power of the revolver at close range was not just blown away. The bandit died completely. Please come to more and faster chapters. But Xiao Letian was so frightened that he didn't even know how to dodge the bow and arrow shot from the side. In the end, Simon pounced and knocked him to the ground, thus dodging the serrated wolf-toothed arrow.
"Xiao, wake up... don't be in a daze, this is a battlefield..." Simon shouted loudly, finally waking up Xiao Letian.
"Mr. Qing, Shopkeeper Fan, we've fallen into a trap..." When Xiao Letian returned to the caravan, he couldn't calm down and quickly gathered a few heads together for a small meeting. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"The bandits are not really attacking at all. They just want to confuse us. Although the sun has set, the afterglow can still be seen. The bandit leader is smart and vicious enough. He cares too much about the lives of his men. He wants to If no one dies, they will eat us all..."
Xiao Letian's throat was so tired that it was almost stuck together. He grabbed a water hyacinth from the corpse of a waiter next to him and drank half of the water hyacinth.
Xiao Letian's performance this time has impressed everyone present. This kid can risk his life to find out about the enemy. It is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. What's more, he also killed a bandit. .
"There is no other way. Now there is only one way to break out. While there is still a glimmer of light, we rush north. I am familiar with the terrain of this area. There is an abandoned mountain temple on the northern hillside. It is surrounded by three sides There is only a gentle slope on the south side of the cliff, so we can only hold on there..." Mr. Qing said.
"Yes, muskets have been used in the conflict just now. This place is not far from the village of Shalang'ao. As long as we guard until tomorrow morning, the people in the village will definitely contact the guards of Xiling, and we also have Mr. Yang here, The county magistrate cannot sit idly by and do nothing..." Shopkeeper Fan also made a decision.
Soon, Master Qing and Shopkeeper Fan gathered everyone together and issued the order to break out.
"We can't... The shopkeeper can't. We have broken through, but what will we do with so many livestock and goods? What will we do with the money for the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Some people in the caravan almost cried with distress.
"Shut up! What's more important, people or money? As long as people live, how much money can't be earned?" Shopkeeper Fan's glare frightened the clerk so much that he didn't dare to speak.
Xiao Letian saw that it was OK. This old man actually knew what it meant to be people-oriented? An ancient businessman with such ambition cannot be an unknown person. It seems that the status of this shopkeeper in the Fan family is not low.
Time waits for no one, the sky is getting darker and darker, and the caravan finally begins to break through. I saw Xiao Letian, Qing Sanye, Lewis and Simon forming the tip of the assault. Three revolvers and a fast bow suppressed all suspicious targets. The remaining people gathered into a group, and those with weapons were there. There were no weapons hiding outside, and the caravan of more than a hundred people suddenly let out the same strange scream and rushed towards the northern hillside like crazy.
