Chapter 497: He's Betting, I'm Betting
When it was time to eat, the group found a restaurant that looked pretty good, different from the crowded restaurant in Da Zhou, although the lobby was full of people, no one said anything, only the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding.
Qu Zhengyin called Xiao Er: "What food do you have here?"
Xiao Eryi pointed to the wall: "It's all there, look at it yourself and call it again." Then he turned around and left.
A few people saw that there was a water sign hanging on the wall, Xiao Er was reluctant to answer more, Qu Zhengyin smiled bitterly: "No way, if there are more than three people talking for more than ten ......"
Ziyun was surprised: "This is also counted?"
The meal was very depressing, and several people left after checking out, and they had no interest in continuing to shop, and hurried back to the boat, and at the same time, in a mountain village outside Lei Fa, Kou Xueying and Qi Diaoling took people to meet with several young people from Lei Fa.
Kou Xueying said bluntly: "I have prepared all the things you want, what about the gold?"
The young man at the head said, "Ready, I want to see the guy first!"
After the transaction was completed, Kou Xueying and his party left the mountain village, and Kou Xueying secretly instructed one of his subordinates to go to the palace of Lei France to report the news. Qi Diaoling raised her eyelids and didn't say anything, and after the person left, Qi Diaoling asked, "Is this really good?"
Kou Xueying shook her head: "If they had a little hope, I wouldn't be like this, and I don't like this country, you know." It's a pity that they are just a bunch of 'three nos' rebels, but relying on a momentary enthusiasm, such people don't say they didn't succeed, even if they really succeeded, they may not be good for the country. ”
Qi Diaoling said: "There must always be some things in this world that have no results, but someone does it, gathers sand into a tower, gathers armpits into a fur, but ...... It's a pity ......."
Kou Xueying quipped, "These words were told to you by Engong, right?"
"Hmm. Qi Diaoling nodded.
"You used to be the best bounty hunter, not much to think about, not much to say. But after meeting Eun Gong, it has changed a lot. ”
The two women were silent for a while, and Kou Xueying suddenly asked, "In that case, why don't you stay with Engong? This kind of life is not a long-term solution for a woman after all." ”
During the period of celebrating the New Year together in the capital, Qi Diaoling felt extremely happy, and the battle with the orphans of the Moon Wolf Clan in Northern Xinjiang made her untie the knot in her heart since she was a child, and she also asked herself how many dark nights, should this life end? But she was afraid, she was afraid that things would become uncontrollable after some progress. She was afraid that in Lin Yue's heart, she was just an 'ordinary friend', and she didn't mean anything else.
Kou Xueying immediately said, "If you are willing, I will go and explain to Engong." ”
Qi Diaoling shook his head: "No need, I will make a decision myself." ”
Kou Xueying said again: "Okay, your heart has already affected your kung fu, the burden is too heavy, and there will be danger when you fight." ”
People who went out to do business have returned, today's harvest is good, there are large quantities of import and export shipments, some small boats have been filled with new specialties, tomorrow morning will go back to Dazhou, just when everyone is preparing for tomorrow's transaction, there was a loud bang outside the Thunder France, a large number of Thunder French soldiers, surrounded a group of miners. In the night, purple electric light streaked across the sky.
Shelton was originally just an absenteeism in the gold mine of Lei France, spending every day in depression, and even many people who knew him were killed by Lei France's harsh government, and thought that he would continue like this, but by chance he met a foreign businessman, and he also had a different mind when he knew about the affairs of Da Zhou. Shelton soon gathered a group of friends like himself, and while working on the gold mines, he secretly accumulated broken gold nuggets while trying to find a way to swap them out by other means.
The gold mine itself was very strictly checked, but with the help of a group of miners, they still accumulated some gold in order to buy ordnance with Kou Xueying, but what they didn't know was that after Kou Xueying delivered the goods, they sold the miners who were preparing to revolt.
In Kou Xueying's view, these absenteeism has passion and some small means, but I don't know if it is the result of long-term suppression, and it can be said that the future planning is a mess. Kou Xueying directly classified it as a 'three-no' rebellion, which is both no plan, no goal, and no follow-up.
At the beginning, there was no plan, there was no so-called organizational structure at all, and there was no goal, she saw a group of people with her own eyes, and she didn't know whether it was better to fight the palace or the granary, and some directly proposed to seek revenge on the mine owners who oppressed them every day. Hearing all kinds of targets, Kou Xueying's scalp tingled for a while, and she attacked the palace? You gang of absenteeism can easily beat it down, and hit the granary? Not only is there a heavy garrison there, but the reinforcements must have come quickly, and after the defeat, there were heavy casualties, and in the end they could not hold it. The most bizarre thing is revenge, and if you overthrow the rule of Ray France, do you care about such a few enemies? Beating them is a pure waste of time.
Unexpectedly, in the end, they decided to fight the mine owners around the gold mine first, first, it was easier to fight than the previous two, and they also wanted to take out a bad breath, from the preparation of the incident to the time Kou Xueying sent the weapon, there were two or three years of hard work in between, and they had not prepared a feasible plan. was ready to start an incident, but he didn't even have a slogan, worshipping the Holy Maiden and pretending to be faithful, while Gao Weihai in the south was on the side of the Qing monarch and in the name of eliminating tyranny, and after winning a few battles, he waited for incorporation. Both the purpose and the means of action are very clear.
The most important thing is that the follow-up after the incident was completely unexpected, how to preserve strength after failure, and how to govern the country after victory, it was completely just a matter of interest, pointing to where to fight, Kou Xueying found it hard to believe that such a group of people could succeed.
So he directly reported to the palace, rather than letting them mess around and then involving many innocent lives, it was better to confess them all like this, maybe a few fewer people died in the end.
The royal family of Lei Fa is the general surnamed Yang of the previous dynasty, with the thunder spirit immortal art, relying on this firmly ruling this small overseas country, when Kou Xueying betrayed the miners to them, they immediately organized people and horses, and under the leadership of the domestic general, they surrounded and suppressed hundreds of miners.
Lin Yue asked the lacquer carving beside him: "What's going on over there?"
Qi Diaoling shook his head: "A battle that has no chance of winning at all. Immediately said a brief story about the miners' uprising, Lin Yue frowned, although he was not optimistic about this uprising, but instead of helping, he also pushed forward, he already knew what kind of person Kou Xueying was, but he still felt that he had underestimated this girl.
The three little apprentices were very calm about this kind of thing, after all, in the past ten years, there have been so many uprisings and rebellions in the Great Zhou Dynasty that they can't do it, but Haole saw the purple lightning flickering in the sky in the distance and asked, "Master, can we learn immortal arts?"
Ji Ya fortunately didn't have any concept, but Ziyun pricked up his ears, because he had long wanted to ask this question in his heart, and mastering more powerful power had always been in his heart, but in the face of Lin Yue, he didn't dare to say anything anyway, Lin Yue thought about it and said: "Originally, I wanted you to focus on martial arts, but cultivating the Five Spirit Immortal Technique does help to exercise your spirit, so I plan to teach it after you lay a good foundation." ”
Other spells cannot be taught privately because of the rules of the Butterfly Valley Gate, but the Five Spirits Immortal Technique on Lin Yue's body was obtained when he was helping the spirit for thousands of miles, and it has little to do with the Butterfly Valley Master, so Lin Yue also decided to teach it to the three apprentices after thinking twice.
Trench thought for a moment and said, "Is it thundering like that?"
Lin Yue shook his head and said, "It depends on your talent, ordinary people can only specialize in one type of Five Spirit Immortal Technique." ”
"Then Master, what do you think of me?"
Lin Yue looked at the little eyes of Trench Le expectantly, and prepared to test the spirit body for the three of them, thinking that Ji Ya, who was usually silent, was not Feng Shui Shui, but he didn't want her spirit body to be fire, but Ziyun was unexpectedly the wind spirit body, and Trench Le was the most aggressive thunder spirit body, wind and thunder fire...... Lin Yue secretly sighed to himself, what a restless three people.
There was no word for a night, and the riot in Ray France did not have any impact on the entire fleet, and most of the people in the second half of the night had already fallen asleep, but they did not expect that a few people on the Sea Light suddenly shouted to arrest people, and the night watchmen swarmed up and caught two people who tried to get on board.
It was Shelton and another teenager who were seriously injured, the two of them were given some wound medicine, and then they were brought to Kou Xueying, looking at the two embarrassed young people, Kou Xueying's eyes became sharp: "I remember telling you very clearly, the money and goods are in arrears, and we have no relationship with each other, what do you mean by looking for it so blatantly?"
Shelton said, "Miss Cole, we failed, and before we could revolt, we were discovered by the king's eagle dogs, and most of our companions died. ”
Kou Xueying suddenly laughed and said, "What do you mean by talking to us? This is not within the scope of our transaction. "At first, I thought that these two people knew that they had betrayed them and that they had sneaked on the ship to seek revenge on themselves, but I didn't expect that it was not the same thing at all.
Shelton raised his head suddenly: "I want to go to Da Zhou to have a look." ”
"Hmm, you want me to help you escape to Da Zhou?"
"You can say that, but what I really want is...... Look at what kind of country the Great Zhou is, with six or seven hundred boats drawn out at a single voyage, endless wealth and endless food, and people can talk to their heart's content without worrying about being caught and pushed to the ground. ”
Kou Xueying looked at him: "Even so, why should we help you? Presumably your country has already started to arrest you, maybe it's better for you to hand it over, isn't it?"
Xie Dun also looked at Kou Xueying without showing weakness: "I don't think you will, you must be hiding from the king and them when you make a deal with us, and you don't want to expose our deal this time, right?"
"That's not necessarily, there's always a way to pay the bill, you think the army won't suspect us when they see that you miners have so many standard weapons? But our ship is still parked at the docks, isn't it? Even if it's inconvenient to hand you out, it's a good choice to sink you directly into the sea. ”
"Miss Kou is right, Da Zhou is powerful, and no matter how many Lei Fa can't be provoked, hey...... Originally, I thought that if the uprising succeeded, I would go to Da Zhou to see, but unfortunately we failed, I have no family, and if I stay, I will die sooner or later, and now I am killed by you or get off the ship to be caught and killed by the officers and soldiers, the essence is no different, maybe you are more happy here. There is only one way for us to be executed, to be electrocuted alive, it is better to give a knife to death. ”
Kou Xueying asked again: "Okay, if you go to Da Zhou, do you plan to come back?"
"Of course, I went to witness the strength of the Great Zhou in order to come back and build my motherland. ”
"But the strangers I have seen, unless they still have business dealings, basically stay in Da Zhou, and do not want to go back. ”
"The choice in the future is too far away for me, really let me go, I can't guarantee whether I can live in a strange country. ”
The two looked at each other for a while, and Kou Xueying said: "I'll send you over, you can go back with our returning boat, but when you get off the boat, it has nothing to do with us, and it's up to you how you go." ”
"So, thank you. ”
The crew took the two of them down to rest, and Qi Diaoling came to Kou Xueying: "Do you need me to ......?"
Kou Xueying waved her hand: "No need. ”
"But their existence is a problem. ”
"It's not a trouble, don't look at him just now, he should have figured out that I would send him back to Da Zhou, maybe he already knew that I was the informant who caused his entire army to be annihilated. ”
"Then he ......"
"Does he have any other choice? As he said, staying is a dead end, and seeing me may be a dead end, but the one who can fight to escape is undoubtedly the latter, he is gambling, betting that I will let him go. ”
Qi Diaoling frowned: "In that case, wouldn't it be just a hundred for me to get rid of him?"
Kou Xueying smiled: "Because I also bet again, I bet that he will achieve something in the future, and it will be beneficial to us, a little investment is necessary." However, it is only limited to taking him to Da Zhou, and relying on the power of the craftsman to support a person is nothing. ”
"Then do you want to inform the people left behind by the craftsman?"
Kou Xueying smiled, Qi Diaoling was one of the few people who made her laugh and said: "Hahaha, I plan to help him, but it is only limited to taking him to Da Zhou, relying on the power of the craftsman to support a person is nothing, but if we need to support us to make things happen, why should we choose him?"
