Being an otaku in the world of American comics

Interacting with the butcher landlord along the way, they soon merged with other neighbors and residents, heading towards another district closer to the city center.

Subsequently, everyone lined up in a long queue next to a government office heavily guarded by soldiers, waiting to receive money to buy grain.

Roughly estimated, there were at least a thousand people around, and this was only under the circumstance that each household sent only one person.

Looking at the line ahead and the soldiers patrolling back and forth with knives, Liang Yue subconsciously frowned, warning himself inwardly.

"So-called government grain distribution is indeed not that simple."

It took more than an hour of waiting before it was his turn, along with the butcher in front.

However, before going to the grain store to buy grain, everyone had to undergo a body search by the soldiers.

But the procedure wasn't too cumbersome; roughly, someone would pinch your arm, back, and a few other places forcefully, and slap you a couple of times.

This behavior really left the surrounding people puzzled.

However, Liang Yue was very clear about this.

Because in the past few days of night operations, he had been hit in certain vital spots by several government agents using weapons or hidden weapons.

Now, these government runners and soldiers were clearly using the name of grain distribution to investigate his identity and whereabouts.

If Liang Yue's situation wasn't different from ordinary people, and he hadn't already digitized himself, making him invulnerable to vital point strikes and injuries, he probably would have been found out by these people!

"Heh heh~ Nice try!"

After successfully passing the soldiers' pat-down, Liang Yue then walked towards the sales point with the butcher landlord.

After hundreds of people had made their purchases, only stale grain remained, and the carrots and beans in the baskets were clearly not fresh.

Liang Yue even saw a few moldy and sprouted potatoes inside.

The surrounding soldiers and officials were very indifferent to this, turning a blind eye, and the merchants in charge of selling also had an attitude of 'take it or leave it'.

Obviously, in these people's minds, as long as people don't starve to death and there's no trouble, they wouldn't even glance at you if you were eating shit!

However, thanks to the private maritime trade of the late Ming Dynasty, although the quality of the grain in front of him wasn't great, the varieties had become diverse.

Liang Yue asked the merchant in front for a bag of decent flour, then took a basket from the side, selected a few pounds of sweet potatoes, soybeans, and peanuts, and walked back to his residence with his landlord.

Before entering the house, he even asked the other party to cut off a large piece of streaky pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat.

Back in the house, Liang Yue set up his MC-style infinite furnace again, and took out a barrel of home-brewed beer from the stronghold world, planning to have a barbecue for lunch~

......

In the following days, Liang Yue continued to live nocturnally, almost transforming into a demon in the nights of the capital.

Constantly taking action, constantly reaping gains!

As the saying goes, the unknown is the root of fear.

Facing such a hunter with an unknown identity, unknown depth, and suspected of possessing some kind of supernatural power, the Qing court was extremely troubled.

In order to encircle and suppress Liang Yue, the government's lackeys racked their brains, setting up ambushes and laying down heavy traps.

Various hidden weapons, poisoned darts, sleeping drugs, and ambushes emerged endlessly.

Unfortunately, after dealing with these people for a while, Liang Yue had gradually adapted to their routines, whether it was facing the enemy head-on, weapon combat, or secretly competing, ambushes, and other tricks, as long as he had seen them.

As time went on, Liang Yue's coping experience continued to increase, and his methods of dealing with the enemy were sharpened by these people, improving day by day.

Facing the various skills of those Jianghu figures, he learned from his mistakes, and his growth rate was simply astonishing. He tested them in person after nightfall, and during the day, he took advantage of the curfew to think about ways to break them.

After such a period of time, the unique methods that the government agents relied on had mostly been adapted to by him.

And in the eyes of the other party, Liang Yue had begun to become increasingly difficult to deal with, and had become slippery, leaving only head-on fights as the most effective way to deal with him~

The Qing court, which had originally hoped to capture Liang Yue, the so-called rebel, as soon as possible, bring him to justice, and use this to calm the negative impact caused by the destruction of the Eight Banner Army, ultimately gained nothing.

Not only did they not catch anyone, but they also caused heavy losses to the martial arts experts who had defected after entering the customs, that is, the government agents in the Jianghu's mouth.

Under the multi-day curfew, the people began to complain, and the court's prestige was once again severely damaged!

A large number of so-called meritorious officials, nobles, and dukes were exterminated one after another during this period, including both the Han officials who had defected and the noble forces within the Tartar clan.

The court did have the intention to dispatch the army stationed outside the city to encircle and suppress, but at this time, the Eight Banner pro-army had already been destroyed, and the garrison troops in the city were all transferred to the periphery of the imperial city for garrison.

And out of distrust of the Han army's Green Standard Army, the Qing court's vigilance against the army dominated by Han people was even greater than before.

At this time, dispatching this part of the army into the city was, in their view, tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house!

So, for a time, the situation was deadlocked.

Later, the situation began to become more and more turbulent.

Because according to Liang Yue's observation, in the following days, it seemed that he was not the only one taking action in this capital.

Some organizations and individuals with the goal of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty had already stationed personnel in this capital secretly. Seeing that the situation in the city had suddenly changed, and that it was intensifying.

So, after transmitting this news to various places, they also took advantage of the situation to take action, cooperating with Liang Yue.

With attacks coming from all sides, the government agents were overwhelmed and could only cope with it in a tired manner.

As a result, this capital city almost became a chaotic battlefield every night after nightfall.

Government soldiers, rebels, government agents, anti-Qing righteous men, and even some sporadic, daring opportunists all took the stage.

Shouts, slashing sounds, hoofbeats, people's cries, moans, and various struggles mixed together in the darkness.

Intermittently, there were also explosions, arson, poisonous fog, machine guns and other modern firearms, and mysterious poison arts being staged in turn within the capital.

Some unidentified people even robbed the firework and firecracker shops in the city.

They ignited firecrackers and set off fireworks, and no matter who was on the opposite side, they fired wildly at the figures in the darkness.

Adding a dazzling touch of color to this originally noisy but dark Peiping city.

Those who didn't know would have thought that Peiping was celebrating the New Year in advance...

However, this chaos did not last long.

After another two or three days, Aobai, a senior official of the Qing court who had been leading the Eight Banner soldiers in foreign wars, one of the four regents, a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of various anti-Qing restorationists, and known as the number one warrior of Manchuria,

finally returned to the court after receiving news of the rebellion in the capital. Along with him were about ten thousand Manchurian Eight Banner soldiers~!
