The sudden change suddenly occurred, and everyone present was dumbfounded. No one knew what was going on, but they saw the veteran flying up like a kite, and hanging on a big tree by the way.
The rope was so tight that the veteran squad leader's face turned purple and his tongue stuck out. His hands were weak and he tried to remove the rope around his neck, but he couldn't unbuckle it at all.
"Who? Is it a man or a devil?" the villagers shouted in horror.
At this time, a thin and dry figure suddenly floated down from the tree trunk. From a distance, it looked as thin as a page of paper.
"You talk so much nonsense about killing people, what a bunch of trash..." From the mouth of a thin man came a string of words that no one could understand. If you look closely at the man's facial features, you can see that he has an oriental face.
This scene is really weird. The villagers have never seen what Asians look like. In their impression, Asians are the same as uncivilized savages, and the thin man in front of them further proves their previous fantasies.
The small tree beside the road is just a very common French maple tree. It is only two years old and its trunk is as thick as a three- or four-year-old child's wrist.
The crown of the tree is also sparse with dead leaves that have not been blown off last winter!
Such a small tree cannot support a person at all. Even a child cannot climb up. The trunk is too fragile and will break with the slightest force.
Because the tree was so inconspicuous, no one would notice him, but they never expected that such a tree could hide an adult.
Although this man with an Asian face is short and thin, he is still an adult. How did he hide in the tree? Why can the tree hold up?
There is another bizarre thing. The veteran squad leader is tall and weighs nearly 75 kilograms. Such a heavy person is hung on such a fragile tree, but the trunk and branches are not broken.
It's just that the whole tree is bent out of shape, and it's trembling as if it's about to break, but it's life and death!
It was such a ghost in broad daylight. Chills ran down the spines of everyone present. A few brave soldiers guessed that all the weirdness was in that man, because the black rope he was holding had jumped straight.
"He is not a devil...he is Chinese...the language is Chinese...surround him..." The soldiers raised their rifles and moved forward tremblingly, and the farmers holding pitchforks followed in a circle. .
At this moment, a burst of intensive horse hoofbeats suddenly came from the distance on the mountain road, followed closely by a chaotic roar!
"Stop! Stop the attack... The defenders on the mountain listen... stop the attack... I am Captain Philip... You are not allowed to attack, stop the attack..."
Following the sound, a group of cavalry rushed up with smoke and dust all over the ground. At the front were more than ten war horses, and behind them they formed a long and sparse line, and the end could not be seen at a glance.
At the forefront of the cavalry charge, a group of men in strange military uniforms were raising their whips to urge their horses. The official at the head was furious when he saw the formation at the edge of the barn.
"Fuck! Who dares to touch our Chinese people! Kill without mercy... Monkey Taoist, is the hidden weapon in your hand just a decoration? Let a group of farmers bully you?"
The thin, dark man laughed loudly, "General... why should I take action? The legs and feet of these grandsons are shaking like chaff. They don't dare to kill me even if I give them the courage!"
The line of war horses were all strong Arabian horses, and their sprinting power over short distances was astonishingly fast. After the knight shouted a few words, the black-coated war horses had already rushed in front of everyone.
"Hold the flag!" With a loud roar, a Chinese military flag suddenly fluttered behind the official, with a golden dragon rim and a blood-red zodiac embroidered on the upper left corner of the golden flag.
As soon as this military flag appeared, all the French soldiers present turned pale with fright and took a step back!
The Franco-Prussian War has ended, and the Chinese army has moved to fight in northern France. This flag is domineering and invincible. This military flag has long become a nightmare in the hearts of all French troops.
"Chinese! It's the Chinese Xiao Letian's army! Why are they here?"
Besides Xiang Ying, who else could be a high-ranking Chinese official at this time and place, and be able to command the master monkey Taoist priest among the Dragon Guards?
Xiao Letian personally ordered him to go south to meet Isabella II. His route was basically the same as Blanqui's, and the time difference was only five or six hours.
Xiang Ying had just raised his flag, and the French entourage behind him also caught up. The accompanying military attaché of the Loire Province was none other than Captain Philippe. He was riding a panting horse between the soldiers and Xiang Ying.
"Put down your weapons, put them down...bastards, you bastards who are causing trouble, don't disrespect the envoys! Put down your weapons..."
When these soldiers saw that their immediate superiors had spoken, they all lowered the muzzles of their rifles but still stared at the squad leader hanging on the tree.
Captain Philip turned his head and said to Xiang Ying with a flattering smile, "General! Please let your subordinates release the people. If you hang on to the dead again..."
"Let go!" Xiang Ying gave the order, and the Monkey Taoist priest shook his hand, and the black cord swished back into his sleeve as if it was spiritual. Strangely enough, without the control of this black cord, the little The tree suddenly snapped into two pieces.
The dark-purple-faced veteran fell to the ground with a thud, coughing and gasping for air!
Xiang Ying looked at the small tree and then at the monkey Taoist priest, "Hey! Do you Wudang have this weird method of borrowing force? How did you do it? This also violates the common sense of physics?"
The Monkey Taoist smiled slightly and turned back to the team. The other Dragon Guards led an empty horse. In the meantime, the Monkey Taoist's body floated, and he flew onto the horse's back without even seeing him use the stirrups.
An acquaintance of the Dragon Guard laughed and said, "This is the ingenuity of moving mountains and removing armor. The strength is actually on the waist and horse. General, do you think it was the small tree that hung up the French army? In fact, it is not, it was the tree that hung up the French army." The monkey Taoist priest dumped all his energy onto the earth..."
Another Dragon Guard shook his head and said, "This is not the most powerful. There was a legend in Wudang that the leaders of previous generations were able to unload all their own strength!"
"A seven-foot man weighs only two ounces when put on a scale... General, do you believe it?"
Xiang Ying's eyes lit up when he heard this: "A seven-foot man? The scale only weighs two taels? That must be a fake scale!"
"Hahaha... General, don't believe it, the rivers and lakes are unfathomable! Just like we will never understand, how can the cannon on your battleship be able to destroy the city with one shot? Why is it so powerful? Is this true? Is this the power of physics and chemistry you are talking about?”
"We don't understand what you are proficient in, but you are just a layman on what we understand!"
Just when Xiang Ying and Long Jinwei were chatting about the rivers and lakes, the French veteran on the ground finally relieved his breath and said, "Ah... God!"
"There is an enemy attack, there is an enemy attack..." Only then did he shout out the word "enemy attack."
