Section 15 Yellow and White
The light gradually sank into the ocean, James looked up at the sky, the dark night had gradually stretched its wings, a hover, the four-dimensional things were a little lighter, a few breaths, everything in front of him was covered with a black veil, and the breath was wrapped in thousands of layers, and gradually disappeared in front of him.
The appointed time is coming. James took out his pocket watch, looked at the lantern he was holding in his left hand, and climbed onto the roof in twos and threes. Shake the lantern three times to the left and three times to the right. In the distance, the light of the rare fire is extinguished. James counted carefully, three bright and three extinguished.
"They're coming!" James shouted out to the bottom.
Hearing his shout, two middle-aged white men walked out of the house, one wearing a somewhat tattered military uniform, with a tangled beard, afraid that the smell on his body could smoke down the mosquitoes in the four fields; The other man was dressed in a neat suit, with neat hair and fair nails, and he looked like an aristocratic person, and I really didn't know how the two could get together. However, if any one of the Hongmen Zhenwutang is here, they will definitely feel extremely nervous - these two people are the white bandit leaders who have been fighting to the death with Hongmen for more than ten years. The man in tattered uniform was the descendant of the Cook family, whom Zhu Qiufu killed when he went to Hawaii, Ston Cook; And the aristocratic leader is the remnant of the Serrington family that was slaughtered during the Hawaii riots seven years ago, Raber Serrington. James, who is coded, is a descendant of the Kessel family, a partner of the Cook family, and the three major families in Hawaii have been fighting to the death for more than ten years, and now only these three people are left to support themselves.
James jumped off the roof with a lantern and saw that both of them had already walked out, and although the matter was over, he couldn't help but ask again: "Will London be willing to help us?" ”
"If the European war doesn't start, it's still fine." Rapoy Serrington was also a little pessimistic, "Damn the Austro-Hungarians! ”
"Let's talk about it when we meet," said Ston Cook, who looked a little serious, he did not expect even the traditionally racially distinct Serringtonians to think so, but there was a force in his voice: "What a privilege we have given him Hawaii, London should know it." ”
The three of them didn't say a few words, and the star-like fires in the distance gradually grew larger, and when they leaned over, James walked to the front and asked in a low voice, "Is it Mr. Herbert?" ”
One of the people on the other side asked in a loud voice, "Is it Mr. Cook?" ”
"I'm here!" Cook strode over. In the flickering lights, several white men in high hats and holding canes walked over unhurriedly. When the first person saw Cook coming, he smiled slightly, took off his hat and saluted:
"I didn't want to have wind and rain in the afternoon, so I delayed for a while."
As he spoke, he pointed to a blonde man beside him and said, "This is Henri Philippe, a captain of the French Army, a representative sent from Paris." ”
Paris? Cook involuntarily stared at Herbert deeply, the condition proposed at that time was only an alliance between the two families, what did he do when he called the French, who would only surrender and betray, over? What does this Herbert mean?
Perhaps guessing Cook's doubts, Herbert let out a long sigh, "The Germans are also at war, and the power of the British Empire is to be concentrated in Europe." ”
"Is London going to give up Hawaii?" Sellington interjected and asked, "Does London only think that Hawaii is a sugar island?" ”
"Oh, no," Herbert smiled at Serrington, "this British is Lord Serrington, the British Empire knows where Hawaii is, don't forget, it was the British who first discovered Hawaii, and this Englishman is still a member of the Cook family." ”
After speaking, Herbert still smiled slightly, "Why, the guests came from afar, don't you give a cup of tea?" ”
Cook laughed, "Let's go!" We went to the house to talk, and I don't know if Mr. Herbert and Mr. Philip drank the tea here! ”
"You'll get used to it!" Philip had something to say, "After all, we'll be here for a long time!" ”
Several people laughed and walked slowly towards the house, but only the four people who spoke entered the room, James, also stood outside the house, leaning against a sheltered corner, on guard.
After years of fighting with the Hongmen, James knows the energy of those yellow people on this island. This time, they were willing to take a risk and set the place of negotiation on Maui Island, the base camp of Hongmen, which is also what they have learned from Hongmen's actions in the past few years.
Suddenly a lightning bolt cracked in the distance, the white light was dazzling, James's eyes couldn't help but bloom, and the grass and trees in the distance were bright and extinguished, and the trance made James feel a little young. Speaking of which, this dilapidated pasture was already the property of their Kessel family before the land lease ordinance was filed that year. It's all because of that damn land lease ordinance that gives those lowly yellows an excuse. Thinking of the riot of the yellow man in the square of the court on the day the yellow man lost the lawsuit, James felt a burst of fear in his heart.
He never imagined that the docile sheep would one day turn over and become a wolf and bite the tiger to pieces.
James was thinking wildly here, and suddenly heard a "click" in the distance, like the sound of dead wood breaking. He couldn't help but be surprised, and around the house, they scattered a dense circle of dead branches and leaves, in order to carry the flood gate, and the people suddenly broke in.
Several of the bodyguards who came with Herbert obviously heard it too, and one of them drew his pistol, leaned low, and cautiously moved over to inspect it, and after a while, he stood up, tilted his head and spat on the ground, and shook his head at the crowd,
The rest of the people let out a sigh, but James was even more nervous, if it was really no one, it would be good, but his intuition told him that the people in the Hongmen had come, but they had not yet laid an ambush, so they hid their figures. If the people in Hongmen don't want people to find out, it is absolutely impossible to find out with these raw melons and eggs in front of them.
Fortunately, I also have manpower. James narrowed his eyes, the sky flashed with lightning, and as the light went out, he carefully looked at the grass and trees around him. For this secret meeting, he secretly remembered every plant and tree here in his mind three days ago. Hongmen people are everywhere, if there is a trace of carelessness, this time it will be the annihilation of the whole army. But he looked at the time of the tea, and he didn't see anything unusual. Is it really my own carelessness?
No, you can't stay here for long. With the thunder rolling, James took out his lighter, clicked it three times, and then reached over to the window to knock out the code.
At this moment, there was another lightning bolt in the distance, followed by thunder, but in the thunder, there was a faint sound of gunshots, and the roars of several people came.
James was startled, and before he could knock on the window, he walked to the door in a few steps, pushed the door and entered:
"There are gunshots outside! You can't stay here for long! ”
I don't want Herbert to chuckle and shake his head, holding up his fingers and shaking them again and again: "No, no, Mr. James don't need to be nervous, that's the Russians venting their dissatisfaction a few years ago, let them go." ”
"But this is Maui! This is the base camp of Hongmen! James was a little anxious, "If we startle them, we will be in danger!" ”
"Mr. James, don't worry," Herbert still didn't care, "I'm the envoy of the British Empire, and the British Empire will protect us." ”
Seeing Herbert's relaxed face, Cook was eager to punch him hard. Herbert told him that the focus of London and Paris should be shifted to Europe, but before leaving, he would raise a fierce dog to watch over the Far East, but before that, he would first have to suffer a little for this fierce dog.
The Japanese do have the strength to look at the Far East, but it is a lowly yellow man! When, no, when did the white people in Hawaii need the protection of the yellow people? Doesn't London know that this is a self-inflicted humiliation?
"If London wants us to accept the protection of the Japanese, we can't accept it." Cook said slowly: "This is the pride of our white people, I think the two gentlemen should be able to understand!" ”
Philip nodded, he himself was very dissatisfied with Paris doing such a thing that undermined the dignity of white people, Britain, France and Japan were jointly administered, when will the yellow country be comparable to France? When will the French be able to live peacefully with the English? Hawaii's strategic position in the heart of the Pacific Ocean meant that France should hold it in its hands, not share it.
"Mr. Cook, I agree with you!" Philip broke the silence, ignoring the repeated glances of Herbert next to him, "The world should be the world of our white people, we white people are the well-deserved masters, even if we can't do it, we shouldn't accept the participation of yellow people!" ”
"Mr. Captain!" Herbert exclaimed, "Don't forget your mission! ”
Outside, lightning flashed continuously, and the inside of the house flickered brightly and darkly, followed by thunder, and suddenly fierce gunfire.
"What are the Russians doing!" Herbert said hatefully, "Didn't you tell them to leave those yellow dwarfs alive!" They're brainless guys! ”
Turning his head, he looked at the other four people in the room, with a serious expression: "The war in Europe will not last long, this time it is just to borrow the fleet of the yellow dwarf in case of emergency, but to negotiate with the group of hillbillies in the United States, relying on the prestige of the British Empire and the friendship of France, once the war in Europe is over, the Royal Navy will inevitably come to protect her overseas territories!" ”
"The claws are stretched out, don't you want to think hard enough?" A chuckle came from the corner of the room.
As soon as the words were spoken, James had a bad heart, raised his hand and shot at the place where the sound came from, followed by a shout: "Enemy attack!" ”
With this shout, the corner of the house laughed a few times, the wall suddenly cracked, and a lightning bolt flew down outside, shining a vigorous figure, the figure flickered, and disappeared into the darkness with the lightning.
"Who is this?" Herbert and Philip asked in unison. It's so surprising that they have been talking here for so long, and they don't know that there is a spy hiding next to them all the time: "How can you be so careless!" ”
Herbert was angry and walked towards the door, James flew away, and threw him to the ground, before Herbert could scream, in the thunder, there was a gunshot outside, the wall was just a slightly thicker plank, and dozens of holes were pierced when it landed, and the sawdust and dust flew in the house, and the choked people wanted to sneeze, but the five people in the house all held their mouths and noses and did not dare to make a sound.
After a few rounds of gunshots, it was quiet outside, James listened quietly, there was not even the slightest sound outside the house, he knew that the people outside, whether it was a bright whistle or a dark whistle, had been pulled out by Hongmen. This time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape.
The strange thing is that until the chests of the five people calmed down, there was no sound outside, and they did not enter the house to inspect, James looked left and right, gritted his teeth, and quietly stood up, the horse lamp on the wall was somehow not hit, and still emitted a dim light, James hid in the shadows, quietly looked out, and suddenly saw two figures rushing towards him, James slowly set up the gun, and by the thunder, he pulled the trigger on one person, and he didn't want the person to just stumble under his feet, and he ran faster than the other. Before James could pull the trigger again, the two men had already run outside the house, and the man who was shot spun around, hugged the other person, and by the inertia of running, he broke through the wall and rushed into the house.
