The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the barbarian general with tattoos on his arms suddenly turned his head and looked at the corner, coldly snorted: "Come out."
A thin man in black clothes and a mask quietly arrived in front of the general in two leaps, bowed deeply and said:
"General Kang, they are here. They will definitely clash with those foreign warriors within a few minutes of tea... Mr. Taylor is a famous night owl. He just returned from Yicuiyuan at this time... He is never outside. According to him, he was afraid that someone would touch his head while he was sleeping. Only when he was close to the gods could he feel at ease and sleep comfortably. Therefore, he would go back to the temple with six of his companions. "
"How do you know that they will collide with Yuanshun's southern bodyguards? Is it such a coincidence?"
Kangtai asked in a deep voice.
He is lying in ambush here, and he doesn't just listen to what others say.
The war is fierce and dangerous, and if he doesn't ask clearly about some things, how can he dare to act arbitrarily.
It's okay if things don't go well.
The key point is that if this wild fire burns into the palace, it will not be able to survive.
"Master Kang doesn't know that Taylor is an extremely devout believer in the light. Even when he is looking for flowers, he will never forget to spend some time confessing to the sky. Moreover, this person also has an unknown habit. As soon as he heard the chanting, no matter what he was doing, he would rush back to the temple without losing a moment."
The masked man in black had a low voice, and his age was indistinguishable, but there was a smile in his eyes.
That's the look in his eyes where everything is under control.
'So, you send people outside to sing hymns at the right time...'
I see.
Kangtai's face twitched slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This guy is amazing.
This is the result of calculating people's hearts.
At the same time, a hint of contempt appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Even if you have a good brain, what can you do? In the end, you are still like a dog, letting you drive...
Once this person wants something, he will break his past vows and become completely different from the past, capable of doing anything.
Just like the man in front of me, he didn't instigate rebellion on his own, but he came to him on his own initiative.
The Han people are like this. They like fighting among themselves the most. As long as they give a little benefit, they will betray their friends, brothers, and even their own ancestors.
However, the more this kind of person is, the easier it is to use.
They are extremely brave and fearless when dealing with their compatriots, and are full of cleverness and scheming.
What you can't think of, the other party can think of.
Even if the strategy is used, a veteran like him who has been fighting for a long time will be a little frightened.
Both sinister and poisonous.
Sure enough, Lafayette and the Admiral were right.
Han people cannot hold high positions and have to find various ways to restrict them. Occasionally offer some benefits, let them fight hard and kill hard...
"As long as the foreigner is dead, they will have to fight even if they don't want to."
A flash of understanding flashed in Kangtai's eyes.
"And as long as the foreigner dies and the Yuanshun Escort team really takes action, no matter whether they tolerate or resist, they will never be able to escape a serious crime.
Even if they were a member of the reform party, if they knew that they actually killed foreign temple warriors on the street, they probably wouldn't protect them.
The emperor now relies on foreigners in many ways, and he respects and fears them. If he knew the news, he would probably offer up the Yuanshun Escort and others to win the favor of the foreigners.
Zhang Kun is very powerful, but I don't really believe that he can escape with his life under the salvos of more than two hundred foreign guns. What's more, he still has so many worries. "
Kangtai was talking to himself. When he said this, he suddenly asked: "I'm a little surprised. What grudges do you have with Zhang Kun? Why are you so deliberately plotting against him? In other words, you have grudges with that big sword king Wu. Or is it simply unpleasant to look at?”
"General, this is my business, so I won't bother you. You must also know that Zhang Kun has become a thorn in Lafayette's side. If this thing is really done, it will be a big deal for you. Great credit. As for me, I naturally have my own way out, and I will have nothing to do with the general in the future. I will just pretend that I have never seen him today."
The masked man in black didn't stay long after saying this. He turned around and was about to leave. He took two steps and stopped without looking back. He said in a cold voice: "I forgot to remind the general one thing. That Zhang Kun has learned Dong Gong's Secret Records... Bagua Steps and Wandering Dragon Body Exercises." It was so miraculous that even Zhang Chonghua, the head of the third bodyguard of the Huiyou Escort Bureau, lost his life in front of his footwork if he was not careful. General, please take care of yourself. Although glory and wealth are good, you can only enjoy them while you are alive."
After finishing speaking, the masked man in black jumped around, got into the corner of the house, and was never seen again.
"Hmph, you're threatening me, you're like a dog."
He vaguely guessed where the visitor came from.
Kangtai said coldly: "Get ready. If you hear the cry of killing, start immediately."
"After three rounds of covering fire, the cavalry charge, do not kill all the escorts, show me carefully, no one can escape."
"yes."
There was a low sound of promise behind him.
The atmosphere seemed cold.
Murderous.
"Wang Wu, Zhang Kun, these lawless people, I wonder if they can still be so majestic when faced with the siege of a large army?"
Kangtai is very curious about this.
Once the elite members of the Yuanshun Escort Bureau are captured or killed, the rest of them will be left without courage, and they will be scattered.
Even in the name of loyalty, Big Sword King Wu can't win people's hearts again.
He could only fight alone and travel around the world. How many people could he save?
Today, if one of the reformists' arms is cut off, I wonder if those sour and smelly scholars will be so scared that they wet their pants?
There are always some people who think that reform is just a matter of lip service and that by speaking loudly, the goal can be achieved.
But they never thought that one day, when faced with a massacre with swords and guns, what choice would they make?
…
"After turning this corner, the city gate is in front of you. According to Master Zhang, this is the most dangerous part of the journey, so everyone should be careful."
Yuan Guangyao is a veteran of the martial arts world. He is a proficient swordsman. As a dark power master, he has been traveling around the country for many years and is considered a very powerful person.
Especially after that time when the boat capsized in the gutter and Zhao She, the third boss of Jigong Mountain's Crouching Tiger Village, ambushed the gunman, he became three points more silent and seven points more steady.
He understands that facing an unknown future, one can never be too careful.
This is not timidity, but caution.
Since Zhang Kun trusted him and allowed him to lead the team on this escort trip, no mistakes could be made no matter what.
This escort trip is not only a battle to clear his personal name, but also a battle to break the situation of the Yuanshun Escort Bureau.
If they walk down smoothly, they can tell the world that no matter how difficult the escort is to protect, no matter how difficult the road is, they can walk smoothly and safely.
There are always some people who will not be influenced by others. When they are in trouble, they think of Yuanshun Escort Agency and quietly come to look after them.
Strong dams often only need to make a small opening to allow floods to overflow the earth.
The so-called joint blockade is always vulnerable to life-and-death interests.
"Zhongda and Wenjun, you two are highly cultivated. Separate your front and rear, and observe carefully to make sure you don't miss any clues. If you find anything wrong at all, you will report it."
Wu Zhongda and Tang Wenjun responded and took action immediately.
Following the hooves of the horses, several carriages moved forward slowly, and a luxury carriage among them gently lifted the curtain.
Half of her face, as delicate as a hibiscus after the rain, poked out...
With a haggard expression on her face, she looked around, breathed out gently, and lowered the curtain again.
"I just hope everything goes well... Master, I don't have the ability to live another life, and I can't keep this family property. I can only try my best to take Yun'er back. As long as I can make him grow up healthy and safe, even if I lose all my family property , that’s worth it.”
Thinking of her dead husband, Xiao Tang felt sad.
If a woman, especially a beautiful woman, wants to keep such a large fortune and raise her only four-year-old son to adulthood under the watchful eyes of a pack of wolves, you know how difficult it is if you think about it.
There are many ups and downs on the road ahead, how can one endure it now that he is walking alone?
When he returns to his clan, he will be protected by his clan members.
No matter how ugly they look, they still care about their appearance.
You should be able to do it if you survive.
Unlike in the capital, it is very likely that when you wake up, you will be dead without a burial place.
It is better to go back than to go back.
The woman was anxious to return home, anxious in her heart, but she pretended to be calm.
I hope everything goes well on this journey...
"Mom, don't cry."
As the carriage shook, a childish voice sounded.
"Mom is not crying, it's just that the wind is strong and the sand and dust are blinding her eyes."
The woman chuckled softly.
…
Ahead, there was faint singing.
"Ha... Liloa!"
"Ha... Liroya..."
The song is ethereal and holy, making people feel calm and peaceful when listening to it.
Yuan Guangyao's expression changed drastically, he suddenly reined in his horse and shouted, "Stop!"
He was just too careful.
Overreacting to the slightest thing going wrong.
This time, even Wu Zhongda and Tang Wenjun, who were exploring the guards one after another, felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years, that's what they say.
Isn't it just someone singing?
In the capital, foreigners from all over the world now live together.
These people each have their own quirks. Some like to sing hymns, some like to practice boxing, some like to roll around on the ground and pester endlessly, and some like to eat raw meat...
To name a few.
This singing sound must be that of a foreigner who has nothing to do but is singing.
The Church of Light loves to engage in such strange activities.
"Who, who is singing?"
"Farke."
Not far away from the Yicui Building, there was a sudden commotion.
At the same time as the woman screamed, there were several foreigners with big shoulders and golden hair on their chests, hurriedly getting dressed and cursing as they walked out.
"I'm guilty, hurry up, go back, no one can stop me."
In the lead was a tall, muscular man with blond hair and blue eyes, his face full of panic, and he was scolding everyone with half bird language and half Chinese language.
"I'm back... No one is allowed to talk about what happened today, especially to Mr. Andre. If anyone gets news, I will personally send him to feed the crocodiles..."
"If I had known this, I might as well have gone to the businessman's house last night and brought the woman back... Even if I had fun for half the night, I wouldn't have missed praying."
"No, captain, that woman is attracted by an official from the Qing Kingdom. Isn't it a good idea for us to do this?"
"What's wrong? What can the old man who is about to be buried do? He can only watch and can't do anything. He obviously took a fancy to the money and found an excuse to swallow him and the money. Let's As long as we don't kill her and send her to the official afterwards, maybe he will thank us."
This is true.
Everyone nodded and laughed.
They know the virtues of Qingguo officials.
Even though they are in a high and powerful position, they still feel humble when they see them, overseas people with no official positions.
It's really a funny thing.
What is there to care about an official who only knows how to wag his tail in front of himself?
…
"Quick, get to the side of the road, don't make any noise, the escort flag is also down."
Listening to the noisy and weird sound getting closer and closer to his group, Yuan Guangyao frowned secretly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
He quietly put his hand on the handle of the knife, and looked at the ten soldiers behind him to check the gun and be ready to take action at any time.
'What a coincidence, it's almost unbelievable. '
At the same time, on the same road, we happened to bump into each other.
"Any coincidence is mostly man-made."
When he set off earlier, Zhang Kun's words were still echoing in his ears.
Quietly, he became vigilant again.
Yuan Guangyao had heard from the injured bodyguards and escorts that the group of foreigners who injured them just liked to go to major flower houses for entertainment, and they were also very interested in the Xiao Tang Family.
If it weren't for the bodyguards who blocked the fight last time, and the Xiaotang family took advantage of the chaos to escape again, I'm afraid they would have fallen into their hands.
"It's too late to hide."
A trace of cruelty flashed in Wu Zhongda's eyes.
He has also heard that these foreigners are not weak at all.
Although, these people's boxing skills don't have much structure and appear to be very scattered.
However, when it comes to fighting, the punches and kicks are fast and hard, penetrating every hole.
What's even more amazing is that each of these people is tall and strong, with amazing strength and physique.
Even if it's a killer move, sometimes it won't have any effect if it really hits them. Instead, they will be knocked down by the opponent's cold move.
'It is a different method of body training, specializing in training the muscles, bones and skin, which is quite similar to the external martial arts. '
Wu Zhongda also learned from a certain source that the warriors of the divine church generally used some kind of secret medicine to stimulate their potential. He moves his hands like a tiger or a lion, is not afraid of pain, is not afraid of life and death, and is very difficult to deal with.
This is not what he is most afraid of. What is most unbearable is that these foreigners are not only powerful, but most of them also carry short guns...
They don't talk about the rules of the arena. When they see an enemy, they just rush forward.
The fighting style of a wolf, the physique of a bear, the speed of a leopard, and the ferocity of a tiger can probably describe these temple warriors.
Therefore, when they met on a narrow road, Wu Zhongda was ready to take action. He had no choice.
The opponent is physically very strong, and if you hit them with your fists, you may not be able to kill them.
If you fight back, your side may not be able to withstand it.
If something goes wrong, take the lead immediately.
Tang Wenjun, who was hanging far behind the motorcade, obviously had the same idea.
He held a few money darts in his left hand, and his right hand had already grasped the handle of the knife, pretending to be a non-threatening passerby. At the same time, his muscles had quietly relaxed and tightened, making himself quickly excited.
What happens next is already predictable.
Given the arrogant and arrogant habits of these foreigners, they would not fail to pay attention to this strange convoy of theirs.
It's just dawn now, and there are few people on the road...
As for the people in the Yuanshun Escort Bureau, whether they are escorts or bodyguards, they all look capable.
Lian Jiazi's temperament cannot be hidden even if he wants to.
If this escort was not transported, then even if the identity was discovered, it would be nothing.
At this time, as long as you have doubts and exchange a few words, the secret will be revealed.
In particular, among the three carriages, in addition to silver and property, there were also beautiful women, which was the root of trouble.
To kill or not to kill?
this is a problem.
Killing him might push the escort agency directly into the abyss.
Not to kill?
There is an abyss before you.
…
At the entrance of the alley, a short man wearing a bamboo hat slightly cleared his throat...
The few "hymn arias" I just sang really hurt my throat.
He only sang three times before he couldn't hold on any longer.
At this time, my throat felt a little smokey, which was particularly uncomfortable.
Leaning against the trunk of the big tree, he took a few deep breaths and carefully took out a small crossbow arrow from his arms.
The place where the arrow missed its edge looked a little dull under the skylight, glowing with a jet-black color.
When the wind blows, you can smell a bit of fishy smell in the wind...
Apparently, missing arrows is no fun.
The man in the bamboo hat was aiming his crossbow at the entrance of the alley, and at the same time he was looking from the shadow of the big tree to observe the situation of the Yuanshun Escort Team, with a trace of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"No matter which foreigner this arrow hits or where it hits, it will arouse boundless hatred and make them become like mad dogs."
"I ran across the long street, hehe... No matter how defensive and hiding the Yuanshun escort agency is, it's useless. They can't stop until they fight to the death with the foreigners."
"Not far away is the Wuwei Central Army, with a total of eight hundred people..."
The man in the bamboo hat thought of the tasks he had been given before coming, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Repaying kindness and taking revenge all depends on today.
He raised his crossbow and was about to activate it.
Suddenly the hand felt heavy.
He clicked his fingers, only to find that the crossbow arrow was missing.
A cold whooshing sound rang in my ears.
"You are a talent."
The man in the hat turned around, his eyes dull for a moment.
The person who came here was obviously very familiar. He was so familiar that even if he closed his eyes, he could call him by name, talk about his boxing skills, and tell about his achievements.
Wearing a green robe, he has sword-like eyebrows, a straight nose and thin lips, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle.
"you you……"
A name came to the man's lips, but he held it back.
"Do you recognize it? Don't hide it. Although I think your hymn singing is good, singing obviously can't save your life. Tell me, who asked you to come?"
Zhang Kun could see through at a glance what the man in the hat was planning.
It's nothing more than provoking a fight...
He even saw the eight hundred ambush soldiers lying not far from the corner.
After thinking about it for a moment, I understood the seriousness of the incident.
"I won't tell you."
The man in the hat murmured softly, a flash of awareness flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly took a deep breath and opened his lips.
There was a shrill cry, but before he could make a sound, there was already a hand at his throat.
The five fingers are like hooks, and they are gently closed.
"Kacha" sounded crisply.
The man in the bamboo hat had his neck bones broken and his eyes were wide open...
His hands and feet twitched a few times before falling to the ground.
"It doesn't matter whether you tell me who is behind it or not. It's not that difficult to win this game."
Zhang Kun chuckled lightly and looked at the five tall and majestic foreigners in the alley.
The lips parted, revealing strong white teeth.
…
It’s another 10,000-word update. I’m so tired. I’m asking for monthly votes to cheer me up. Thanks.
