Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 73 - Two flesh votes

Ma Bao, a normal Baji who had grown up in the Beijing, had never had much of a good fortune in his life, nor had he suffered much. In the eyes of the standard-bearer, he was already considered as a lower middle class person, but in the eyes of the Han people, he was already considered as someone with status.

They had fought and caused trouble in the alleyways since they were young. They learned to make tea in teahouses, brothels, and flattery when they were younger. Looking at the dark red blood that flowed like water on the ground, watching the limbs that were dancing in the air, Ma Bao felt his stomach churning, but he couldn't spit anything out.

Now, he didn't even have the strength to curse. He was thrown onto the ground by the frightened warhorse, and his remaining good leg was also sprained. He sat on the ground, staring blankly at the nightmarish scene.

"How can this be? "Why the f * ck can't I understand? Why did the clear sky change …" Just as he was mumbling something, the one hundred fifty odd heavy cavalry soldiers had finished their slaughter, and no more than fifty of the seven hundred Green Battalion s had escaped, and the rest were all dead.

The harbor was dead silent, the cavalry soldiers slowly formed a semicircle around Ma Bao and the dozens of guards around him. It wasn't that these janissaries didn't want to run, but that they couldn't. They had already lost all their courage, and some of them were even scared silly.

The hell-like scene not only stunned all the Chinese at the scene, but also frightened all of the foreigners on the merchant ship. After all, the merchants and sailors were not the regular army, so they drew the cross on their chest with all their might.

The captain of the Lucky Conch, Ke Xijia, quietly gestured to his sailors not to get involved in the civil war between the Qing people. These Xiang Army were not to be trifled with.

The foreigners were very practical. In the years they had spent fighting in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they were very familiar with the fighting capabilities of Long-hair and Xiang Army. In particular, the reputation of the Xiang Army was like thunder in their ears, it would be a lie to say they were not afraid. Especially today, after personally witnessing the cruel battle prowess of the Zigzag Camp, all of the Westerners present were all speechless. Many of the merchant ships all closed their cannons quietly.

The situation had developed to the point where it was considered that they had survived the chaos. Just as the mob, who was filled with chaos, wanted to make a name for himself at the pier, he saw the bloody corpse mountain turn his head and run. No one foolishly looked at it and knew that there was nothing to take advantage of here.

Xiao Letian and Jiu Shuai brought a group of people and slowly walked towards Ma Bao. Although those merchants were so scared that they were fighting in two groups, they could only force themselves to walk forward under the control of the God of Death.

He walked all the way to the ground and there was no way to stop. Only then did Ceng Guoquan stop, he nodded at the eagle, and then High Scholar Huang and Xiao Pi Sun flew out of the group with a swoosh, falling straight into the blood.

Everyone knew that at the moment of the end of the whole matter, Jiu Shuai was about to make a final judgement. The merchants looked at High Scholar Huang and Xiao Pi Sun, who had always been overweeningly arrogant, and these two grandsons were already scared stiff.

"Tanggu Hong Kong is a place where people live in harmony with Hua Yang. The righteousness of the people is especially important, but there are always people who try to destroy my peace and tranquility with their own selfish plans … Huang Juren, as a High Scholar, did not think of repaying the Emperor for his kindness. Instead, he encouraged the people to change their ways. Take him down, interrogate him strictly, and behead him after getting his confession! "

"Xiao Pi Sun, hoodlums come from lowly commoners, to actually dare to be the accomplice of a tiger, and be convicted together with High Scholar Huang!"

"Ma Bao, on the other hand, accepted the bribes and attempted to snatch away the four hundred thousand silver from the Letian Firm. Let me ask you this, why did you not disperse the tens of thousands of mob in the city? Is the Great Qing Army your private army? Don't think I won't dare to kill you just because you're a Baji … "Someone, shoot him to death! Even if he's going to die in battle, save some face for his master …"

With Ceng Guoquan's order, the hundred over cavalrymen raised their crossbows one after another, the exquisite triangular-edged armoured crossbow bolts already nocked. Just as the eagle was about to give the order, a shout came from the west side of the roof, "Please have mercy, do not kill him, Ma Bao has a hostage!"

Xiao Letian heard it was actually Xiang Shaolong's voice. He grabbed the eagle's hand and shouted, "Wait, don't shoot anymore.

Xiao Letian had a faint sense of unease in his heart. He had been worrying about this ever since the strange fireballs had appeared in the western skies. This was the only inexplicable change in his deduction. It was the biggest flaw in the entire plan.

The hawk looked at Jiu Shuai, and in the end, he did not give the order, and in a short while, a group of people with a black mass suddenly appeared from the west side of the street.

Xiang Shaolong and the 20 odd guards were nervously surrounding a few figures. The crowd was slowly moving towards the direction of the dock, and the people who were surrounding them and the people who were being surrounded were all extremely wary of each other.

The eyes of Xiang Shaolong and his subordinates were all bloodshot. Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, but no one dared to make a move. Dragon Lord's right hand was the revolver, with several poisoned copper coin darts in his left hand, but he didn't dare to attack even if he was dead.

At this time, a terrified and trembling voice rang out from the circle of people, "Yellow Lord! Grandpa Sun! I am the dirty mouse … Are you two in? "Allied Ma, save me, save me …"

"I've captured Xiao Letian's two wives, we have hostages …" dirty mouse let out a mournful cry. At that time, she was so scared that Xiao Letian jumped up.

"My wife? Could it be that Hu Niu … " In the distance, Xiang Shaolong's face flushed red as she shouted, "This subordinate is incompetent. By the time we rushed over, Miss and the big sister from Qing San Ye would already be enemies …"

Xiao Letian rushed over as soon as he heard it, and squeezed into the crowd. It was none other than Hu Niu and Fu Hui, the two women who were tied up were currently being carried by dirty mouse's subordinates in a daze.

"Hu Niu! "Sister Hui!" Xiao Letian shouted and wanted to rush upwards, but dirty mouse had already gone crazy. The dagger in his hand was tightly pressing against Hu Niu's neck, he shouted out like a madman, "Step back, you step back! I want to live, I don't want to die, which one of you wants to kill me? "I want to perish together with you …" With that, the dagger actually grinded his oily skin, dark red blood flowed down from Hu Niu's neck.

The pain made Hu Niu a little more clear-headed. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Letian as she said in an ashamed tone, "Sorry Brother Xiao, I've caused you trouble again … "Don't worry about me. You are a man of character, so you can't let this kind of person threaten you …"

"Hu Niu!" Xiao Letian teared up, "What exactly do you want, brat? "Say it, I promise you everything …"

At this time, dirty mouse's emotions were on the verge of collapse. From slapping the beggar down at the pier until now, his subordinates had all died, but the enemies were endless. He originally thought that once the two women got their hands on him, he would have the protective talisman. However, he didn't expect Xiang Shaolong to appear in front of him again and threaten him with a cut from the Green Gang at the same time.

It was only now that dirty mouse knew that these two women were the burning coals in his hands. This was not something that someone at his level could get involved with. Gradually, more and more Green Forest people gathered around Xiang Shaolong, and in the end, formed a big circle surrounding dirty mouse and the rest.

More than once, he wanted to let them go and change the path of survival for him. However, when they gathered with a group of defeated Green Camp soldiers, the dirty mouse finally knew that he had to force himself to continue with today's show.

"Rat grandpa …" Don't let them go, it was already hard to predict whether High Scholar Huang, Elder Sun and Elder Ma were dead. The docks were already filled with blood and corpses, Xiao Letian had invited the Xiang Army to massacre the entire city. "Don't throw away your protective talisman …" A few of the defeated soldiers were chopped into meat pieces by Dragon Lord's blades before they could even finish shouting.

This time, dirty mouse understood that these two women were their group's last resort, they definitely could not lose them. Just like this, the two groups of people were in a deadlock as they slowly approached the pier, meeting up with Yellow Lord and the rest in the end.

At this time, Huang Juren and Xiao Pi Sun, who knew that they were dead meat, suddenly became lost in thought as if they had seen a straw that saved their lives. They struggled as hard as they could from the control of the soldiers, whining.

"Let us go, Xiao Letian! Hurry up and let us go … Otherwise, your woman will die with you! " High Scholar Huang was like a tied up dog, desperately running forward. Xiao Pi Sun's jaw was already shattered, so he couldn't say anything for more than a foot.

"Jiu Shuai, release the person now …" Xiao Letian bellowed, he did not care about things where all his efforts failed, he only had his eyes on his own woman. If a man can't even protect a woman, what's the point of living?

Jiu Shuai sighed, and finally released her. Yellow Lord and Xiao Pi Sun fought their way through the Blood River Corpse Mountain and finally met up with and the others.

"Good brother, as long as we can survive, we'll share the wealth in the future, wuwuwuwu …" The High Scholar Huang did not care about his identity as the dirty mouse, and rushed over to hug him, crying loudly.

At this time, Ma Bao could be considered to have lived past half of his life. He shook his head, grabbed Yellow Lord's arm and cursed, "Old thing, this is all your fault. "You bastard, tell me what I should do now …"

The High Scholar Huang made Ma Bao's head spin. "Go to Beijing, let's go to Beijing, take the hostage to Beijing …" "Besides the imperial government being able to protect us, no one else is able to save us …"

In fact, they didn't need to go to Beijing. As long as they could enter Tianjin City, everyone would be safe. Now, they had to contact both the Qing and royal powers.

"Right, right, right. Let's go …" "Those with the surname Xiao, immediately arrange a carriage for me. Stop playing tricks on us, if worst comes to worst, we'll perish together …" Ma Bao struggled to get up, but he also fought with his life on the line.

"Give them a carriage!" "I'll give you whatever you want, but remember this. If you dare to harm a single hair on my woman's head, I'll dig out your ancestors' graves and kill your nine great clans …" Xiao Letian's face was ashen.

At this time, Ma Bao had surrounded a few thugs brought by the dirty mouse with him, a total of more than 20 people. The small group had covered the two girls tightly, these two meat was the foundation to protect their lives, they couldn't be taken away even if they wanted to.

"Great treasure? "Is that a great treasure …" All of a sudden, a weak voice came out from behind Ma Bao. Other than Ma Bao, no one could hear anything clearly.

"Huh?!" Who is this? How did he know my nickname?
