Chapter 8 The first time the two heroes meet the two Jiao
Early the next morning, all the members of the Brotherhood and the Pact went their separate ways, according to their mission. Yesterday, they all knew what they should do, and if they didn't understand something, Mai Ke also provided the necessary explanation last night. Peter needed to go to Gwangju in Gwangdong. When he went out, Mai Ke stopped him and said to go with him. Mai Ke is going to hand over to his grandfather, and he is also in Gwangju. The two of them discussed it for a while and decided to take the waterway. By land, it is not only riskier, but also farther. Now they don't have that much time.
The two of them rode the war horses prepared by Hong Xiuquan towards Guigang, carrying only their special forces equipment bags. These two horses were prepared for the uprising by the Cult of God, and they were also the best of the war horses. This is the contribution of the richest man in the faithful. In order to get these two horses, Hu Yihuang can be said to have bought them from the northwest border area at the expense of his family and spent half a year. It is said that it is still a good breed of Dawan. This breed is not only fast, but also has a long endurance, and has always been loved by high-ranking generals in the army. Of course, it's not that low-level generals and soldiers don't like it. Relatively speaking, they prefer it, and speed and endurance are sometimes equivalent to life. The problem is that they do not have the financial resources to equip such war horses.
Mai Ke had more experience riding horses, while Peter had almost no experience. He can only be considered theoretically able to ride a horse. So when he galloped on a real warhorse, it was called elation. He was so happy that he screamed like a child. These two horses were indeed outstanding, and it took only three quarters of an hour to cover the nearly sixty-kilometer journey from Kaneda to Rosewood. Peter was just happily experiencing the new sensations, but Mai Ke was thinking that building a high-quality cavalry unit might make up for the lack of rapid motorized troops. Finance and technology should not be an obstacle.
At this time, Rosewood was already in sight. I saw sails and films, and there were many artemisia. The boats on the surface are like shuttles, running back and forth, and the shore is full of labor and busy loading and unloading. It is worthy of being the largest port in the middle reaches of the Xijiang River, and the center of the southwest inland to go to the sea and enter the ocean. Such a choke point is not only a key economic hub, but also a strategic point for soldiers to fight for. At a cursory glance, he could see the vital position of this place, and Peter could feel the difference.
"How about a naval base here, Peter?"
"There is water and a port, and there should be no problem technically. But how far is it from the ocean?"
"It's not too far either. There are 300 miles in a straight line, and about 400 miles in a waterway. "Such a number is difficult to defeat Mai Ke, and reciting the country's main roads, waterways, and mountains backwards is a basic skill of the primary level of special forces.
"Without a special purpose, the Navy would not have gone so far to establish a base. Peter said without concealment.
Of course, it is especially necessary. Mai Ke was sure in his heart. In the future, if the Taiping Rebellion had the direct support of the American fleet or the support of weapons as a backing, it would be very different. However, he did not have time to continue the conversation with Peter, as they saw a large merchant ship about to sail.
"Wait a minute, someone is on the boat!" Mai Ke greeted loudly. While waving, he ran over.
The big ship slowed down a little, but it didn't stop, and continued to move offshore. By the time the two of them reached the shore, they were already five feet away.
"Help me!" Mai Ke flew up, stepping on Peter's palms with his palms up. Then Mai Ke dangled in the air with one foot and stepped on the other foot, and Peter sent forward with both palms, and the distance of more than five zhang was leaped by Mai Ke and landed on the side deck of the merchant ship. When it was too late, a black shadow flew out of Mai Ke's hand, and when he reached Peter, Peter grabbed it, and his huge body rose from the ground, and he flew to the merchant ship at a gallop, standing side by side with Mai Ke. The sharp-eyed crowd of onlookers even saw Peter flip his head in the air. Mai Ke knew that this guy was always childlike and took the opportunity to be cool. Putting the colorless long rope that Peter had used to smuggle Peter just now at his waist, Mai Ke greeted a group of sailors with large knives and spears walking over.
"What do you want to force you to get on the boat without permission?" a rough man in his forties with a fierce expression shouted.
Mai Ke bent down to salute, and said in a steady tone: "I'm sorry, it's rude in a hurry." We want to take a boat and double the fare. He knew that there were no special passenger ships in this era, and that taking merchant ships was a popular way to travel on the water, and some generous merchants even gave them free of charge. So he didn't think too hard about this matter.
"No, absolutely not! It's no way to give ten times!" the rough man refused, and there was no need to discuss.
"Is there any reason? We have apologized. And there is an open space on your ship. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it just doesn't work. Hurry up and get off the boat, or don't blame me for being unkind!"
At this time, the boat did not stop, but continued to row towards the center of the river, about 30 zhang from the shore. Mai Ke saw that this guy didn't get oil and salt, so he said that he had to change the boat. We can't take the Overlord ship. It doesn't matter if it's your current identity or your original identity.
Then Peter felt that it was not good to hold on any longer, so he said, "All right, let's get off the boat, and trouble will send us back to shore." How else are we going to go back?"
When the rough man saw that they had relented, he became even more arrogant: "I don't care how you go back! Get out of here, or I'll throw you down. ”
Although the two of them had no problem swimming in winter, how could they be willing to jump into the water in the cold winter moon? So when those people surrounded them under the command of the rough man, the two had no choice but to do it. Not to mention, these people's martial arts are really good, plus they have the advantage of holding weapons in their hands, and the two sides are really evenly matched in the first few minutes.
Peter was a little surprised, and muttered to himself, it's really hard to deal with, ordinary people are so powerful! It seems that his concept is about to be adjusted.
He was surprised here, but he didn't expect the rough man to be even more surprised. These people who have joined the warband are the top players of the Streamwater Gang. In order to complete today's bodyguards, the gang sent ten King Kongs. But the nine went up, and they didn't have a problem with each other. What is sacred?
He himself is the head of the Ten King Kongs, and his ability is higher than the others. In order to break the stalemate, he decided to go out himself. He saw that Peter was tall and big, with his fists and fists, and the four people around him only had the ability to parry, but had no power to fight back. The five people who besieged Mai Ke were not so hard, and it seemed that the besieged could only barely support. He decided to pick and pinch the persimmon, destroy this one first, and then combine the strength of ten people to deal with the remaining one.
Therefore, he untied his famous weapon, the male and female double-strand soft sword, from his waist, one in each hand, and attacked Mai Ke with a smoke. Don't look at his rough appearance, the number of martial arts paths, and the weapons he uses all follow a feminine path, which makes people feel quite weird. This is also his pride, he has walked in the rivers and lakes for 20 years without a single defeat.
It's a pity that his opponent today is Mai Ke. In his seemingly tired appearance, there are discerning eyes. The rough man thought that he was unaware of the sneak attack, and was clearly observed by Mai Ke from beginning to end. When he approached his side, swung his soft sword at the target, and stabbed it with all his might, Mai Ke turned slightly sideways, allowing the fierce blade like a poisonous snake to spit out the core. At the same time, he grabbed the hand holding the sword. The rough man was fierce again at this time, no matter what the outcome of the captured hand was, one turned inwardly and stabbed the other sword into Mai Ke's eyes fiercely. And Mai Ke also repeated the same action, and grabbed the second hand in the same way.
Putting the two hands into one, Mai Ke patted the rough man's face: "Don't you order them to stop?"
Before he could react from such a rapid change, the rough man who was in a daze was furious: "Don't think about it! Give it to me, hack them to death with knives, and throw them into the river to feed the fish!
He's so confused, but no one else has yet. Another young man shouted, "Don't listen to the eldest brother, stop first, it's all good to discuss!" and the others either stopped or slowed down their attack on Peter. Peter also took the opportunity to catch his breath. So many people, so long, is almost his limit.
This eldest brother is also tough enough, no matter what he says, he will not be convinced, and insist that the rest of the people continue to besiege him and leave him alone. Mai Ke also had a bit of a headache. And when the second brother persuaded again, the eldest brother was furious and said, "Don't you know that this dart must not be lost? We don't know where these two people came from, how can we let them be in the same boat?"
When they were entangled and the two sides did not give in to each other, a window was opened in an attic on the top floor of the merchant ship, and a crisp voice came out: "Uncle Lu, Miss has ordered, let these two take a boat." ”
The eldest brother, who was still grabbed by Mai Ke with one hand and two hands, snorted twice, first said that he was still very dissatisfied, and then said in a helpless tone, "Since Miss agrees, it will be cheaper for you." But I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, it turned out that it was too uncomfortable to slap a swollen face and a fat dead duck's hard mouth. However, he still warned: "You must stay honest, and you are absolutely not allowed to wander around." ”
We don't care what you're doing. Mai Ke was about to agree, when he heard the voice and continued, "Uncle Lu, Miss said that she wanted to meet two guests. Please let them come up. ”
Uncle Lu has a black line, and the other nine people also have a black line. We are afraid that something will happen to this matter, and this aunt is simply afraid that nothing will happen!
Although Mai Ke and Peter didn't want to make a fuss, they weren't afraid of things. So he was obediently escorted to the second floor by Uncle Lu and three other people to satisfy the curiosity of the so-called young lady. This is Mai Ke's idea. As for Peter, just the opposite of Mai Ke, he went to satisfy his own curiosity, what is a girl in a foreign country?
When they reached the second floor, as soon as the door opened, they were both shocked at the same time. The little girl who opened the door and said to invite in was obviously the one who had just shouted, and judging from her age and dress, she was a maid. And standing in the center of the room, not one, but two. The one on the left hand is covered in a plain body, like a magnolia, and the one on the right hand is covered in red makeup, just like a blooming peony.
