Chapter 356: The hotel is powered off and killed
It is impossible to persuade the people of the walled city to surrender to the British.
Although they are all philistines and look greedy for life and afraid of death, the hardness in their bones cannot be seen on their faces.
Not to mention the side, just talking about these hall owners, they will fight for territory on weekdays, and even cut people on the street and streak corpses on the street.
But when the black bone red raised funds to buy guns and gathered people to form a garrison army, these bigwigs did not frown, they paid when they should pay, and they paid when they should be.
Some people may say that the walled city is their hiding place, and it is the foundation, no one needs the walled city more than them, and they only do it for profit.
But even so, it is precisely because of common interests that they can be united, not to mention, the whole of Hong Kong has almost fallen to the British concession, such an old walled city, is nothing.
But if you can see with your own eyes the people of Tai Po resisting these patrols and the British army, you can understand how strong the resistance of Hong Kong people is!
It is precisely because of this understanding that Chen Mu knows how impossible it is for Fu Qingzhu to "persuade him to surrender", and it is even an insult to the bigwigs in the walled city!
Everyone didn't want to surrender, so there was only one way left to resist by force, and from the moment they began to buy guns and lay out the city to defend the city, they knew that this was an inevitable war.
Chen Mu didn't want to be indecisive, maybe the dissatisfaction in his heart was just because Fu Qingzhu didn't tell him the truth in advance.
Chen Mu was speechless, and Fu Qingzhu turned around and left.
Du Keme really didn't send anyone out to look for trouble, and soon a carriage left in a hurry, and it was estimated that he was really going to find him.
After half an hour, Liang Xuesong and Qin Tang also came out of the banquet hall, walking in a hurry, thinking that they also felt that danger was approaching, or that Du Kemei had intimidated them or something.
"Master!" Li Qingyu hurriedly greeted him.
Liang Xuesong and Qin Tang looked nervous, and when they saw that Li Qingyu was fine, the two of them were also relieved.
"It's been a long time since the two elders have been seen." Chen Mu hugged his fists and saluted, and the husband and wife were also surprised.
"How are you!"
Chen Mu briefly said the reason, and Liang Xuesong didn't linger much: "Go back first!"
They stayed in a nearby hotel, and after a short time they returned to their rooms, which will be explained in detail.
The people of Tai Po will not sell Li Qingyu for peace, as a drama, even if he is a famous actor and has some influence, but he is not admired by everyone, not to mention that Li Qingyu is just a newcomer who has just emerged.
The reason why they are unwilling to compromise is because they know that the British do not want peace, they want Tai Po, they want the whole of Kowloon and the New Territories!
Even if Li Qingyu is married to the son of the chief superintendent, it will not change their wolf ambitions.
They just want to try it slowly, first use marriage to paralyze the people, and when the police station is settled, they will reveal their true form, and slowly infiltrate and control all aspects of people's lives.
They will build churches, they will open English schools, they will bring in their customs and manners, and they will make Hong Kong people completely slaves of the British!
The reason why they know is because the British have been doing this on Hong Kong Island for so many years, and now they have concessioned Kowloon to the imperial court, and they will definitely do the same!
And the people are gradually seeing the horrors of this kind of servitude, and many people on the island of Hong Kong have begun to take pride in speaking English, believing that the high-level elite should know English.
They no longer send their sons to read Zhihuye, but hire English teachers for them, and they learn Western things, eating steak and fried fish, wearing suits and leather shoes, combing their oily hair and even wearing wigs.
It is precisely because they have seen their faces clearly that the people in Tai Po and other places are unwilling to give in.
Ordinary people already have such an awareness, not to mention those bigwigs who are in the rivers and lakes and on the streets.
They have their own territory and business, and if the British come in, they will lose their place to live!
At this point, Chen Mu didn't need to think about it, and he briefly talked about the old days with Liang Xuesong, and then said to the two.
"I'm afraid it's not easy for you to go back to Tai Po, the walled city is also dangerous now, why don't you just wait here, I need to go back to the walled city quickly......"
Liang Xuesong nodded and said with emotion: "Chen Mu, I have heard about you, the tiger father has no dog, you have not fallen into the prestige of your father, I am proud of you!" ”
Liang Xuesong is a senior, but also an elder, hearing this, Chen Mu inevitably thought of Lu Shengwu, and sadness welled up in his heart.
These old people have paid too much to defend his Chen Mu's revenge, until today, Chen Mu has taken revenge, and he has also experienced a short period of confusion, but now he has found his future direction!
He is not Huang Xing Yang Zhaochun, but he will never be a turtle with a shrunken head!
When he was thinking like this, Chen Mu heard Li Qingyu say: "Brother, I want to go to the walled city with you!" ”
Thinking of the situation when he brought her out of Saltwater Village, and then looking at the big girl in front of him at this moment, Chen Mu also unconsciously smiled.
"The walled city is too dangerous, you just follow the two masters."
"I don't! I'm going to follow you! ”
Li Qingyu is no longer the little girl who was "obedient" at the beginning, she has experienced society and her own life, and she, like Chen Mu, is growing up rapidly.
Chen Mu was also a little stunned, but quickly came back to his senses.
He saw the emotion in Li Qingyu's eyes, which far exceeded the concern between the brother and sister, which made Chen Mu feel a little flustered.
He knew what that meant, and he knew he needed to stop it as soon as possible, so he spoke to her forcefully.
"Obedient!"
Li Qingyu tried her best to talk to Chen Mu on an equal footing like a beating woman, but Chen Mu still wanted to treat her as a little girl, and only in this way could they continue to be brother and sister.
Chen Mu has experienced too much, as soon as these two words came out, Li Qingyu realized that he was too immature in front of Chen Mu, and he was really suppressed by Chen Mu!
"Brother...... But I ......" Li Qingyu was about to continue fighting, but at this time, he heard a click, and the electric light went out!
Chen Mu subconsciously took out the pistol on his waist and loaded it with a click.
At this time, I heard Liang Xuesong explain: "Chen Mu, don't be nervous, this hotel will have power outages from time to time, don't be nervous." ”
Chen Mu put away his pistol at this time.
Liang Xuesong said to Chen Mu: "This black light is blind, you accompany them first, I'll go to the lobby to find some candles, yesterday's used up." ”
Chen Mu was in a hurry to return to the walled city, but he was not in a hurry at this moment, and even nodded and agreed.
"Brother......
Liang Xuesong groped his way to the door, but Li Qingyu took the opportunity to touch Chen Mu's arm, and the soft fingers went down the arm, touching Chen Mu's palm, clasping it tightly, and not letting go.
Chen Mu also smiled bitterly in his heart.
He wanted to treat Li Qingyu as a little girl, but the other party took advantage of Chen Mu's psychology and used the identity of a girl to be coquettish and close.
Chen Mu was about to withdraw his hand, but there was a knock outside the door.
"Who is it?" Liang Xuesong brought Li Qingyu and his wife over to act this time, and they ate a Hongmen banquet, so they were vigilant.
"Distinguished guests, because of the lack of power, the hotel will discharge for a limited time, so we have provided you with a candlestick, please open the door and pick it up."
Liang Xuesong relaxed at this time, turned his head to Chen Mu and said, "Although this hotel is not big, it is also considerate and thoughtful, and I sent candles so quickly." ”
Chen Mu's heart suddenly swelled with a strong uneasiness!
"What time does the power go out?" Chen Mu asked quickly, and at this time Liang Xuesong had already walked to the door, and it was Qin Tang who answered his question.
"Generally, after eleven o'clock, the guests have slept and then the power is cut off, the impact will not be so big, and I don't know why it is so early today......"
Chen Mu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and said to Liang Xuesong: "Don't open the door!" ”
While speaking, Chen Mu quickly recalled, the layout of the room flashed in his mind, and he kicked a pier out with his foot!
"Oops!" Liang Xuesong screamed in pain, and there was a pop of falling to the ground!
"Get out of the way!" In the dark, Chen Mu pushed Qin Tang out, and then grabbed Li Qingyu's head and fell on the carpet!
"Dada!"
The roar of the machine gun came from outside the door, and the thin door leaf was instantly shattered, and the opposite wall was full of holes, and the light from the outside penetrated through the gun hole, intertwining in the dark room, like the net of death to catch the unjust soul!
"Don't move while you're lying on your stomach!"
Chen Mu threw Li Qingyu under the bed, and dragged Qin Tang over, then took out a pistol and fired a few shots at the broken door!
The machine gun outside stopped firing for a short time, and Chen Mu walked up quickly, wanting to drag Liang Xuesong back.
"Big guy, are you okay?"
Liang Xuesong was also so frightened that he couldn't speak, and after a while, he said to Chen Mu: "Hit your foot and neck, it's okay......
Chen Mu grabbed his clothes and dragged him inside, and fired two more shots at the outside of the door.
He didn't have many bullets, the other party had a machine gun, and Chen Mu didn't dare to waste the bullets, just to deter and force the enemy back, so he could pull Liang Xuesong back.
As for who the murderer of the assassination was, Chen Mu didn't think about it, except for Du Kemei, there should be no one else.
The reason why he did not look for trouble outside the General Assembly Hall may be to hurry up and return to dispatch troops, or perhaps to hide people's eyes.
But Chen Mu didn't believe that this foreigner would let him and Li Qingyu go!
In order to save bullets, Chen Mu only fired two shots, and as soon as the gunfire stopped, it was quiet outside.
This strange silence made Chen Mu feel extremely dangerous!
"Shhh......h
As expected, there were chaotic and heavy footsteps outside, and Chen Mu could even hear the jingle of bullet belts!
But at this moment, a strange and crisp sound sounded outside.
"Click!"
"Ding!"
After that, a small thing was thrown through the hole in the door, gurgled and rolled on the carpet for a while, and then hissed!
"Yes*!"
Who would have thought that these people would be so resolute and decisive in order to kill Chen Mu, without the slightest ambiguity!
This room is not very big,* once it explodes, the shockwave cannot be vented, and even if it is not blown up, it will destroy several of them!
