"Idiot... Big idiot, you know that the bandits are not moral and are going to kill people, why are you rushing out so stupidly..." Xiao Letian's ears were full of Huniu's reproachful voice. The little girl looked very angry. Both eyes were covered with moisture.
Xiao Letian was about to fall apart under Huniu's manipulation. The little girl was as talkative as a knife and almost scolded Xiao Letian to death. If he hadn't really not figured out how to wear these ancient clothes, he really wouldn't have wanted to. Don't suffer this anymore.
"Didn't I just say that our only way out now is to negotiate with the bandits. We consumed too much gunpowder in the battle last night, and almost everyone was injured. We really can't fight anymore..."
"Then... then you said that the bandits are not moral and are here to seek revenge. Why are you going out to take the lead? Aren't you looking for death?" Huniu didn't know what happened, and she didn't want Xiao Letian to take the lead. bird.
Xiao Letian secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. Negotiation is the only way now. Although the success rate of negotiation is less than 30%, it is better than sitting still and waiting for death, right? As for the candidates for negotiation, there really is no one else but Xiao Letian. Update as soon as possible
Xiao Letian didn't expect that as soon as he said his plan, two-thirds of the people in the entire mountain temple fell to their knees. Those guys all cried bitterly, "No way, Mr. Xiao, you are the backbone of the caravan. You If there is an accident, no one can really save everyone... Mr. Xiao, you killed so many bandits last night, they must be eager to eat your flesh. Aren't you looking for death when you come down the mountain? You can't. ah……"
Everyone's pleading did not stop Xiao Letian. He looked at Dongfang who was gradually turning white and began to issue orders: "There must be bandits who are still alive in the pile of corpses outside the temple gate. Send someone to call for treatment. Sell them a favor first..." …When I called back, I told them that there was an overseas lone guest coming to negotiate, and I told them clearly that I am a Han Chinese, but I grew up overseas, and I have no grudges or grudges with the people in the mountains and below..."
When everything was arranged, Xiao Letian lowered his head and looked at the complete set of pilot leather jackets he was wearing. It was a high-quality imitation leather that he had spent more than 3,000 yuan on some treasure. However, during this night of struggle, Several big holes were torn apart, and the cold wind blew inside. Looking at the Flying Tigers logo embroidered on the jacket and the small skull rivets, he also knew that this thing couldn't be worn.
Since you are going to negotiate, it is better to go with the crowd. This is psychologically demanding. Only by shortening the psychological distance between the two parties can the best negotiation results be achieved.
In the end, Huniu helped find a set of black satin robes. Xiao Letian tried it on and it really fit him.
However, when Huniu saw Xiao Letian clumsily fastening the buckle and failed to fasten one for a long time, the girl blushed and walked over, "Idiot... How rich have you been since you were a child? Why don't you even have one?" I don’t even know how to fasten the buckles..." After saying that, everyone started to help carefully. And the little maid A Chou also help Xiao Letian pick the straw stick from the corner of his clothes with a frown on his face.
While Huniu was helping, she was scolding Xiao Letian from time to time. The scene seemed like a wife sending her husband off, and she looked like a new wife with a blushing face. Xiao Letian looked down at Huniu with her two dimples, and kept glancing at her swollen chest.
After everything was sorted out, Xiao Letian walked out of the main hall of the mountain temple. The golden light of the morning sun shone on his body, making this lonely overseas guest with a white cloth wrapped around his forehead actually bring out a certain sacred atmosphere. When people in the yard saw him coming out, they all stood up. Many elderly people wiped away tears at that time.
"Xiao, have a nice trip...you are the bravest cowboy..." Lewis roared, and Xiao Letian subconsciously raised his head. At this moment, Simon pressed the shutter, and Xiao Letian's figure was preserved forever. got up.
"Big fool, big fool..." Tigress in the main hall could no longer hold back her tears, rolling down like broken pearls. She was still clutching the high imitation Flying Tigers leather jacket in her hand. , the little girl has made up her mind that this leather coat belongs to her and will never return it to the big bad guy.
The wind rustles and the water becomes cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone. Xiao Letian's current mood should be no different from that of Jing Ke who assassinated Qin back then, just as tragic and without hesitation.
In front of Xiao Letian, on the slope from the mountain temple to the commercial road at the bottom of the valley, a simple wooden horse blocked the road. More than a dozen angry-looking bandits were holding the spears to the lonely Xiao Letian. Lotte was surrounded by everyone.
Maybe it was the righteous mission to treat the wounded that worked, or maybe it was Xiao Letian's identity as a lone overseas traveler that worked. Anyway, the murderous bandits didn't kill Xiao Letian on the spot, but reported to their leader. After a while, a loud bell-like sound rang.
"Hmph! Are there really people who are not afraid of death? Children, set up the big pot, there is some boiled meat to eat today..." Looking carefully, a strong man eight feet tall is coming towards you, with a heavy back and an angry look. He held a sharp steel knife in his hand. This violent man who clamored to eat Xiao Letian's flesh was Gray Beard.
Two bandits rushed up and tied up Xiao Letian. The struggling Xiao Letian suddenly yelled, "Don't you know even when you are about to die? You don't cherish me when I show you a way to survive? Okay, okay, you have the ability." Just kill me. If you don’t kill me, you will be raised by my little wife..."
You are so brave, you dare to scold the ancients for raising little wives, this is so vicious, Graybeard pulled out the steel knife on the spot, blushed and shouted, "I will kill you..."
"Huh?" At this moment, a low groan came from behind a white stone. Please come to more and faster chapters. This muffled groan was so effective that Graybeard's knife was hanging in the air but he didn't dare to do it. Xiao Letian understood at a glance that the real leader of the bandits was behind this big rock.
"Master, you may think I'm being alarmist, but I'll tell you the truth. You'd better take the 110,000 cash from the trade route with you. Be careful that more than 200 of your men have been stuffed with wontons." ah……"
Although Xiao Letian's legs are still trembling, his mind has completely returned to clarity. He knows that Xiao Baikou's life now depends on his mouth.
"If the big boss dares to do business here, it's impossible not to step on the plate in advance. It's not far from Xiling. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has more than 10,000 troops to protect the mausoleum, not to mention the Han Army Green Camp stationed in the county. Yesterday There was loud gunfire in the evening, and the shouts of killing continued all night long. It is estimated that more than a dozen surrounding villages already knew the letter, how could they not report it to the government?"
"Don't forget, this is the location of the royal mausoleum. How could the Manchus not come to suppress the bandits? You know that Emperor Yongzheng slept here..."
Xiao Letian took a few deep breaths and then said, "In addition, this caravan contains not only people from the Qing Dynasty, but also foreigners and American missionaries. If something unexpected happens, it will cause a diplomatic dispute. When the time comes, All the officials are guilty. For these two points, how can they suppress the bandits without risking their lives? If it is not what I expected, the guards in Xiling and the local green camp soldiers have already known and believed it..."
"Hahaha..." Xiao Letian didn't finish his sentence. A long laugh sounded from behind the stone, and then a middle-aged man turned out from behind the stone.
"Hahaha... I thought you could tell some great truths, but it turned out to be nothing more than pedantic. Please come for more and faster chapters. What kind of overseas lone traveler? I saw you shouting wildly in front of the mountain temple last night War, you command ten muskets with great skill, do you really think you have a great talent? In the end, you are just a mediocre person..."
"What? Is it the musketeers he commanded?" Graybeard was just holding the battle at the foot of the mountain last night and did not see Xiao Letian commanding the enemy. If he had seen it with his own eyes, he would have chopped him into pieces with a knife.
"Ling Chi, execute this devil Ling Chi..." The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Xiao Letian's clothes were soaked with cold sweat now. His mind was desperately analyzing the situation in front of him. The clues revealed by these bandits quickly gathered in his mind.
Hundreds of military bows, small hand crossbows, serrated wolf-toothed arrows, a silent and well-disciplined team, and even short and unsightly braids on their heads, all of this made Xiao Letian think of an incredible thing. possibility. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"Are you Changmao? Are you a Taiping Army? You are not bandits at all, right..." Xiao Letian didn't know where the strength came from. He broke away from the control of the two soldiers and strode to the middle-aged man. She stared into his eyes for three full minutes.
"I'm really stupid. I should have thought of it a long time ago. This year is the third year of Tongzhi. Zeng Guofan has just captured Tianjing City, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been completely destroyed. But the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which stirred up half of the Qing Dynasty, is a political power after all. , there were millions of soldiers at their peak, and even if Zeng Guofan lined up to kill them, they still wouldn't be able to kill them so cleanly."
"There will always be people who survive, there will always be people who escape this catastrophe, and you are the ones who escaped from the Kingdom of Heaven? So you not only want money, but also your lives. The Manchus want to be killed, and you want the businessmen who support the Manchus Kill, even the foreigners who did not cooperate with you and chose the Manchus, you want to kill even more, so you block here just to take revenge, just to vent your anger, right?"
Xiao Letian was going crazy. His saliva even sprayed on the middle-aged man's face, but he didn't expect that man to be so well-mannered. He had a slight smile on his face and was not angry at all.
"Now that you know our identities, do you think you can still live? In order to keep our secret, you have to die... But since you are so smart and talented, I can let you Choose the way you die..."
"Is it okay to not die?" Xiao Letian took over the question almost unconsciously, but the middle-aged man just smiled and shook his head, indicating that you have no hope anymore.
Oh my God! O earth! I don't want you to be such a toy, and someone else will travel through time and send you a beautiful girl and a younger brother. When you see the protagonist, you will be so angry that you will bow down. But it was my turn, why was I so unlucky and jumped directly into a certain death situation?
Gray Beard once again led people to rush forward, but Xiao Letian still did not give up. He finally asked, "I can die, but you must tell me who you are? With your demeanor, you cannot be an ordinary person with no name or surname." Officer, you must be a big shot... Let me be a sensible person, you let me be a sensible person..."
Xiao Letian was struggling, the soldiers were pressing him down, and the gray beard behind him had already sprayed a mouthful of strong alcohol on the steel knife. It looked like he was going to do it himself.
Xiao Letian never thought that he would be so desperate to survive. He would have such great strength at the critical moment of life and death. Two strong Taiping soldiers could not press him down. His kneecaps were as if they were welded and would not bend no matter how hard he kicked. His neck and face were covered with veins, just like earthworms crawling on them.
"Let me be clear, are you even afraid of a mortal person? You coward..." This is the method of provoking generals. Xiao Letian knew that the ancients, especially the ancients with status, cherished their reputation extremely. As long as you provoke him, he can often get the information he wants.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man came to Xiao Letian's ear and whispered, "Remember, I am the Wing King of Heaven, Shi Dakai..."
This sentence sounded like a thunder in Xiao Letian's mind. This very famous revolutionary in modern Chinese history was actually standing in front of him alive? Didn't he die in the second year of Tongzhi? Could it be that he was cheating his death and concealing his name? He can't even lie to me, a mortal person, right?
Shi Dakai, the righteous king in the mouth of the people in the south, was also a rare internal affairs talent in the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom. He was the first high-level general to carry out household registration for all people and hold imperial examinations. In the history books of later generations, it is common to criticize other officials of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is extremely rare to criticize Shi Dakai. Even Taizu praised Shi Dakai more than he criticized him.
"I understand, you lied to death and concealed your name! The person who died was your substitute! You want to continue to fight against the Qing Dynasty with the legacy of the Kingdom of Heaven, right?" Xiao Letian even forgot about the threat of death now, and his whole body was immersed in the discovery In the hidden excitement of history.
