Run into the world

Chapter 282 In addition to money, there are also connections!

Duan Muxiang had to admire the foolish loyalty of these people. They knew clearly that the probe would be targeted by flying axes, but some killers shot an arrow through the probe without risking their lives.

This situation did not stop until Duanmuxiang ordered the shield to be raised.

These large shields were made by craftsmen overnight at several times the price. The outside was made of hard and heavy steel plates, and the inside was made of wood covered with cotton. They were very heavy, but their defense was really strong.

No crossbows, bows, arrows or muskets can penetrate it, and even the acid water arrows sprayed by the killers can be easily blocked.

Even if the killers who poked their heads had internal strength, they would still end up seriously injured when thrown axes. This round of attack alone caused the killers to lose more than ten people.

Although some killers were not killed on the spot, they were quickly surrounded by dozens of machetes after being injured and fell. They could not even stand up and died.

In this way, the first wave of assassination offensive was passed so easily, and then Duan Muxiang jumped out of the shield formation, "Yan Xiaoguo! If you are capable of assassination, come out and let me see what you do to the old witch. Be loyal! Come out and I promise not to sneak attack you!"

"..."

A group of people watched Duanmuxiang's various coquettish operations numbly, and they already had some unique calmness that was not surprising.

The team continued to move forward, and Yan Xiaoguo did not come out. Duan Muxiang snorted and looked frustrated, but in fact, he was happy in his heart. Not coming out meant that Yan Xiaoguo still had not given up on the assassination.This is the best. After a few more rounds, you won't have many men left. If you really wake up and start a confrontation, you won't have a chance of winning.

Duan Muxiang took out a map from his pocket and spread it out in front of everyone, "Yan Xiaoguo's people arrived within three days, and three shops on this street were rented in these three days." Going out means that the enemy is likely to ambush in these three places!"

"..."

Do you have to say it so loudly?
A group of people swallowed a gulp of saliva, but when they said something straight, they felt very confident at this time, and their original worries seemed to have disappeared unconsciously.

Similarly, Yan Xiaoguo, who was hiding in the dark, was also frightened. It was not surprising that his plan was guessed. After all, they were not familiar with the place in Hong Kong, and they only had less than three days to come up with something. It is not easy to set up an ambush plan and eliminate the enemy's armed forces in advance.

But he didn't expect that the enemy was so well prepared!Logically speaking, it's impossible?
Why Yan Xiaoguo was so anxious to attack and even attack in the street was because this place called Hong Kong was a place where the Qing government could not intervene.

Chen Shaobai has been in Hong Kong for some time, and Li Yutang is a local leader here. Neither his connections nor his understanding of the terrain can be compared to them.This means that there are two people, one is a scholar and the other is a merchant. They have advantages but they don't know how to use them. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to assassinate any general who has such resources.

Yan Xiaoguo was so aggressive before because he wanted the two of them to have no time to think, so that they would not be able to use their advantages.

In addition, on the surface, foreigners call the shots here in Hong Kong, but in fact, this so-called "calling the shots" is different from the "calling the shots" that the Qing court of Yan Xiaoguo thought.They have no absolute influence on Hong Kong's civil society. Their attitude toward the colony is to make money, and they don't care whether you live or die.

So the foreigners took money from the Qing government and said they didn't care about the matter, which meant that they restrained the police officers from participating, but the various associations in Hong Kong were not under their control!
This really caught Yan Xiaoguo off guard, but he didn't take it seriously after calming down. No matter how many gangsters there were, they couldn't compare with my elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty... Then he saw the enemy pulling thousands of people into the streets. Pull up and move horizontally!
That’s so outrageous. Why don’t you put this military parade aside?

And what the hell is that big shield?We in the Royal Forest Army don’t even talk about using such an exaggerated shield. You are just showing off your wealth!

As for the three shops he rented... Yan Xiaoguo frowned tightly. Although his eyebrows were gone, he could still tell that he was distressed.

"My lord! Give me the order!"

The few cronies around him seemed to have read through the commander's thoughts, and they all asked for battle with firm eyes.

With tears in Yan Xiaoguo's eyes, he looked at the weathered faces in front of him. These old brothers had followed him in his expeditions to quell chaos over the years. These old brothers had also suffered. If possible, he really didn't want to give such an order.

"Go! Now that people have made it clear, we can't really let people think of us as rats in the gutter!"

The order was given, and a group of killers went out to make arrangements, and soon a variant plan was implemented.

On Duan Muxiang's side, Chen Shaobai looked at the approaching corners with some worry, "Should we send someone to check those three stores?"

Duan Muxiang shook his head, "No need, I have pointed it out. If Yan Xiaoguo does not change his tactics, then he is not worthy of being a soldier. The consequences of the forced assassination just now are lying on the ground."

When Chen Shaobai saw this, he said nothing more. Xia Liuhong and others remained calm as they watched. They had met Yan Xiaoguo and knew that as long as Yan Xiaoguo did not die, their protection this time would not be complete.

Squeak!When the team was approaching the three stores, something finally changed. The store doors opened one after another, and the killers in night clothes rushed out brazenly.Duan Muxiang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Yan Xiaoguo had figured it out?

After taking a closer look, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he had explosives strapped to his body, just like he was doing with me as a suicide bomber!

Hey, Duan Muxiang was very disdainful and made a secret gesture.

Yan Xiaoguo, who was hiding in the dark, was extremely heartbroken. His original plan was to use explosives to detonate Sun Wen as he passed by and completely destroy him.But since the enemy has been wary of it, it is impossible to succeed. He can only take advantage of the situation and change into this bomber impact mode.

With Yan Xiaoguo's sharp eyesight, he could tell at a glance that those gangsters were greedy for life and afraid of death. They only bullied the weak and feared the strong. Facing the bomber's impact, they simply did not have the courage to resist.

The fact was just as he thought. When those gangsters saw the bombs tied to the other side, they shouted and retreated hurriedly. Once so many people got confused, it would be a stampede, and this time was no exception.

However, Yan Xiaoguo's pride did not last long. He saw that the old man who had been following Duan Muxiang took action. Dozens of invisible hidden threads came out, and then he spread his arms to divide the chaotic crowd to both sides. , and immediately poured two slices.

Yan Xiaoguo was a little confused. Didn't this clear up the passage between the bombers and Sun Wen?

I saw two rows of men in short coats running out from behind. They were obviously found from the walking side. They were all rough men, neither as vicious as the gangsters nor as fierce as the scholars. The righteousness is awe-inspiring.

But they all held muskets in their hands...

gun! ? ! ! !
Yan Xiaoguo stood up suddenly. Where did the other party get the gun?

"shooting!"

Bang bang bang!

It’s hard to say whether you were aiming or not. Anyway, rows of bullets were fired at the bombers. In an environment like the streets, let alone your average qinggong, even if you have peerless qinggong and the casual shooting skills of the foot-walking musketeers, you can only The result of drinking hatred.

Boom boom boom!
The bomber exploded, the number of casualties...zero!

Duan Muxiang sneered disdainfully, and Yan Xiaoguo's eyes were probably red at this time.

This time not only Yan Xiaoguo couldn't understand, but even Sun Wen and others were confused. Where did these guns come from?
Duan Muxiang said proudly, "The Qing government understands foreigners and knows that they can do anything as long as they are paid. But they don't fully understand foreigners. If people from the patrol room are not allowed to take care of things, how should the patrols settle down? They are all sitting in the patrol room chatting. Earning wages for nothing! Foreigners would not be so stupid as to pay wages for nothing, so giving the police officers a holiday became the right answer. So what should the police officers do if they don’t have a day’s salary? There’s no problem with renting out the gun. Look at this, it’s an unfortunate coincidence. Well, our Mr. Li Yutang has nothing but money!"

Everyone was amused, but they didn't hear what Duan Muxiang said. The patrol guns were not so easy to get, and the foreigners were not that easy to solve, because for the foreigners, they didn't want to see the country become stronger. After all, they wanted to plunder. of.

However, Li Yutang was very comfortable in the patrol room, whether he was with the patrol leader or an ordinary patrol officer, so they directly hid it from the foreigners and only needed to return all the guns later.This depends not only on money, but also on connections.

"Reform the team and keep moving forward. The enemy is at the end of their rope. Look, they even killed their own people. The Qing government deserves to be overthrown!"

A large number of gangsters got up from the ground again, and no one spoke to each other. What just happened?No, anyway, it wasn’t us who were embarrassed just now.

The team began to advance slowly again, and the walking brother next to Duan Muxiang had already started to change ammunition. Well, it was a bit slow. After all, it was just a simple training.

click!
Yan Xiaoguo crushed the telescope in his hand. He had to admit that he seemed to have no good solution. He turned around and took out the map, "I need to know the real location of Sun Wen and others' meeting. Mr. Zhao... thank you for your hard work." Got it!"

Behind him, a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue monk's robe had a gloomy face. He sighed and sat down cross-legged slowly.

Yan Xiaoguo did not urge him, but just asked his killers to suspend the attack first.

In less than 2 minutes, Mr. Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and replied strangely: "This question has no impact. I got the answer easily."

His words made Yan Xiaoguo and all the killers' hearts sink. They knew the rules of these warlocks' divination. The more things that affect the world, the harder it is to know, and sometimes you have to burn your life to get the answer.

But if there is no important answer, it can be easily obtained.No matter how you look at it, the killing of Sun Wen is very important and has far-reaching influence.

Now this answer...doesn't it mean that their assassination is destined to fail?
