"Stop, you can't treat my believers like this......" Father Lewis rushed up and wanted to negotiate, but the shopkeeper Fan bowed his hand and said, "Lord Yang, we are not embarrassed for him, you can rest assured that we will definitely release him when we arrive in Yi County." But let me tell you the truth, this man's identity is suspicious, what if he is a spy of bandits? There is an old Chinese saying that the heart of guarding against people is indispensable."

"Bandits, don't you say that this trade route is the safest, that there are no bandits?" asked Lewis rhetorically.

"I didn't have it before, but today I saw this suspicious person, and I couldn't keep it......" Qing Sanye, who tied up Xiao Letian, walked over, "You are an outsider who doesn't know the customs of the Qing Dynasty, this guy's identity is suspicious, and he is very much like a spies who are bandits stepping on plates." And when I went to Shanxi last month, I once heard the hunters in the mountains say that it seems that there are some people who don't know the details of this mountain......"

"Lord Priest, we don't hurt him, we just take care of him throughout the whole process, and release him when Yi County enters the plain, don't you think this is okay? This doesn't violate the treaty you said......

Qing Sanye's words made Lewis unable to refute, it is not wrong for people to guard against this, if he speaks out to stop it, it will be a little unreasonable. At this time, Xiao Letian spoke, "Mr. Lewis, listen to them, I'm fine, this grievance is nothing......"

Xiao Lotian recognized it, and Lewis didn't say anything. Shopkeeper Fan saw that it was all negotiated, and with a wave of his hand, two guys led a big mule over, and they were really immoral enough to let Xiao Letian ride it upside down, Zhang Guo always rode a donkey upside down, Xiao Letian was fine, and rode the mule upside down.

After packing up Xiao Letian's caravan, they were all full of food and drink, and after lunch, they began to march to the east again, and when it was dark, the caravan must go to a small village called Kill Wolf Pass, where is the campsite of the caravan tonight.

The mountain road is very difficult to walk, and Xiao Lotian feels a little seasick when he rides on the back of a mule. It's dark in front of you, and it's strange if you don't get dizzy.

Xiao Lotian has his own tricks to deal with motion sickness and seasickness, so he has to rely on the Dafa of mental transfer, to put it bluntly, he just thinks about things, as long as his brain is not idle, the symptoms of dizziness are not obvious.

"What should I do? Travel back to 1864, Tongzhi 3 years, this is really not a good year of rebellion, now the Second Opium War has just ended four years, Britain and France got the biggest piece of cake from the Qing Dynasty, now is the enjoyment period, this honeymoon period is not a light yì can be broken......

"As for Russia in the north, it has just cut more than 1 million square kilometers of land from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if this big bear has a big appetite, he will have to digest it for a while, and at this time he is really not interested in interfering in the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty......

"What about other countries? Japan hasn't even started the Meiji Restoration, and it's not as good as the Qing Dynasty now. The American Civil War will not end until at least next year, and the post-war recovery period will take several years, and it is impossible to intervene in China's affairs in the short term. As for Germany, the Franco-Prussian War has not even been fought, and the rudiments of modern Germany have not yet appeared......

Xiao Letian pulled out a detailed list of all the powerful powers in front of him in his mind, but it seemed that there was not a single country that could take advantage of it.

"Hey, sure enough, Tongzhi Zhongxing is reliable, the Western powers are not interested in the affairs of the Qing Dynasty now, Zeng Guofan's Hunan army is the period of momentum, the population of the Central Plains has plummeted by one-third in the Hongyang Rebellion, there is no land, the land contradiction has been greatly alleviated, and the willingness of the peasants to resist is the lowest period......"

"Hey...... Why is there such a big gap between countries and countries? The American Civil War accelerated the industrialization of the country, and the power of the capitalists in the north grew wildly, until before World War I, a large agricultural country was transformed into an industrial power. Let's look at the Hongyang Rebellion in the same period of the Qing Dynasty, which was also a civil war between the north and the south, but the result was the restoration of the landlord class represented by Confucianism, which not only snatched great power from the Qing government, but also made a mess of the southern economy by the way......"

"The most terrible thing is that the landlord class represented by Zeng Guofan only wants to use Western weapons, that is, foreign guns and cannons, but they are extremely rejecting Western values in their hearts, especially natural science, and they don't want to study the truth in it......"

"To put it bluntly, in the eyes of those Confucian ministers, it is enough for soldiers to be able to use foreign guns and cannons, but as for the principles used to make foreign guns and foreign cannons, they are not interested at all. Not only is he not interested, but he doesn't even let those who are interested learn it, but the countryside is still full of voices reciting three hundred thousand, and the Bagu Wen is still popular in the imperial examination......"

"How should this damn dreary day be pierced?" "Huh......" Xiao Letian thought about it, and suddenly his brain flashed, and he almost gave himself a mouth, "I'm a pig brain, have I forgotten my ideals? Xiao Letian, Xiao Letian, didn't you want to save China with the least bloodshed before crossing over? How do you think about it and use your brains to use your brains on the bloody revolution of dynasty change?"

"Damn, since God sent me to this era, it must make sense, in a long period of peace, isn't it just right to carry out my dreams? Those hypothetical plans, can't you try them one by one now? Hahaha, sure enough, I am born to be useful, and the angry youth should be self-reliant, and I want to cross to find the angry youth...... Damn, my brain is really confused, and I'm starting to think cranky......"

Xiao Lotian just wandered all the way, pondering all the way, dizzy, I don't know how much time has passed. Suddenly, there was a cacophony of voices at the front of the group: "Huh, why are there so many rockfalls and trees here?

This was followed by a cacophony of footsteps and a buzzing chatter. Just when Xiao Letian didn't know the situation, his eyes suddenly lit up, and Qing Sanye had already removed the black cloth pocket on his head.

"You still dare to say that you are not a spy! What's going on this way......" Qing Sanye directly dragged Xiao Letian off the back of the mule with one hand, and he fell into a lot of meat. Qing Sanye really had a lot of strength, and he carried Xiao Lotian with one hand and walked like a chicken, and then rushed to the front of the caravan after a while.

When Xiao Lotian was thrown to the ground, he found that in the narrow valley, a large pile of stones had rolled down, and several big trees were buried in it, and the caravan could not pass it at all.

"What does this have to do with me? You can't just say that I did it because of a landslide? Isn't this kind of landslide common in the mountains?"

"Fart, it's October, it's not raining in two fucking months, you say it's a landslide, it's a landslide? You blow it out with your mouth? Look at the stubble on this stump, it's obviously cut out with an axe, what else can you do except for bandits blocking the way?"

Qing Sanye is really anxious, he is not one of those children of the Eight Banners who wander through the birds and teahouses in Sijiu City, he knows that in this big ravine, there is no village in front of the village and no shop, it is the most dangerous time, and any mistake may cost everyone's lives.

"It's not fair, why do you blame me for a pile of stones on the road? Just because I'm a stranger? Pastor Lewis is also a stranger, why don't you rely on him?" Xiao Letian is really a scoundrel enough, and he directly dragged out all the foreigners as a shield.

Qing Sanye's nose was crooked, "It seems that if I don't beat you, you won't know that Ma Wangye's three eyes are ......" After speaking, he raised his fist and was about to make a move. Xiao Letian is now tied with his hands tied behind his back, and he can't resist at all, even if he is not tied to the little white-collar worker who crosses, he is not the opponent of Qing Sanye, who is unparalleled in riding and shooting, and subconsciously he closes his eyes, this is to be stiff.

But the expected fist did not fall, and when he squinted his eyes and looked closely, he found that Pastor Lewis had actually grabbed Qing Sanye's wrist with one hand, and the two were fighting in mid-air.

Qing Sanye really didn't expect this foreigner to have such a strong hand, holding his wrist like fire tongs, and he didn't break free several times. And Lewis also tried his best, he didn't expect that the Qing Dynasty's group of smoke-smoking Eight Banners soldiers would have such a good physique, and Lewis would sweat in his head as soon as he wrestled.

"Two masters, two masters, don't be angry, don't be angry...... Let's all take a step back, if there is anything to talk about going back out of the mountain, the first task now is to clear a way out, we must rush to kill the wolf before dark...... "Fan shopkeeper hurriedly played a round. Xiao Letian: This can be regarded as the second calamity.

The caravan men and soldiers were now high and low, and in order to save their lives, they worked together to clear the rubble, and it took an hour to clear a narrow path that would allow the caravan to get out. When the caravan opened again, the expected bandits did not appear.

"Qing Sanye, I don't think it tastes right, I haven't done anything after cleaning up for so long, I suspect that this group of bandits wants to attack at night?" said Shopkeeper Fan with a gloomy face.

"Possibly, the purpose of these stones is to delay us, so that we can't get to the Wolf Killing Pass before dark, and then attack us at night...... Damn, this is to kill us, and you want to kill us all with the smallest casualties......" Qing Sanye held the handle of the knife in his palm, and he was about to get out of the water.

"Old shopkeeper, you are old, give me ideas" Qing Sanye asked. The shopkeeper Fan was also not polite, "The total amount of silver escorted this time is 110,000 taels, do you see the tea basket on the back of the thirty mules? The silver is hidden there, if I really meet the bandits, I don't want all this silver......

"No, this is the official silver released to the Internal Affairs Office, and the ...... who lost it was going to be killed" Qing Sanye wanted to persuade him again, but the shopkeeper Fan raised his hand and said domineeringly, "Isn't it just 110,000? Our Fan family doesn't care, we have to pay ...... It's just that I have a request, my little girl is my heart's meat, if you encounter a mess, please ask the third master to help protect it, this favor is considered to be written down by our Fan family......" After speaking, he bowed deeply.

Someone said, don't talk about people during the day and don't talk about ghosts at night, sometimes they come to what they are afraid of, just when the two of them bit their ears to discuss, they suddenly ran back from the front of the caravan and a staggering figure, and took a closer look at it It was actually the guy sent out by the caravan to fight the outpost.

It was now dark now, and the setting sun pressed against the ridge to cast the last rays of sunlight on the trade road, and by this ray of sunlight one could clearly see that the fellow was running slower and slower, and his steps were staggering more and more.

"The shopkeeper's ...... There are bandits in front, there are bandits......" said that the whole person smashed straight on the road, and a feather arrow was stuck in the back, and the guy kicked his leg and saw that he couldn't save him.

The crowd was silent for three seconds, as if time had stood still for three seconds, and then the caravan exploded at once, and everyone was screaming, looking for a place to cover like a headless fly, and the bold ones knew how to cover with weapons, and the timid ones even peed their pants in fright.

"Ma Xiaoliu is dead! Ma Xiaoliu is actually dead, Bodhisattva help......"

"I said a long time ago to ask the dart bureau masters to protect me, but you didn't listen, and you still said that this road is safe, now it's stupid......"

"It's Ermaozi, it's the bandit attracted by Ermaozi, kill him to avenge the big guy......"

"You fart, kill it sooner rather than later, you wait for the bandits to take revenge...... Uncle Xiao, Grandpa Xiao, you say something, don't kill people, we'll pay for the ...... of the road."

"It's useless to beg him, if I want me to say it's the bad luck brought by the real foreign devils, the evil demons who dare to set fire to Beijing City, they all have ghost soldiers on their bodies, this kind of person provokes bandits the most, it is the bad luck he brings, I ...... it."

The scene was completely chaotic, Xiao Lotian looked at a few guys who were kowtowing to him, and suddenly an extremely unrealistic feeling appeared in his heart, as if he was playing a three-dimensional game with a high degree of simulation, and now Xiao Letian has been completely immersed in it and can't extricate himself.
