Chapter 296: Stalemate is unbearable
François is not Fu Qingyin, he did not fall into madness.
Although he has a deep brotherly relationship with Meng Moronxi and hates Chen Mu to the core, he is not a person who starts a war as soon as his brain is hot.
This impulse has actually been planned for a long time.
It's just that after repeated setbacks, after the battleship was blown up by Chen Mu, it was even more impossible to complete.
The reason why Fu Qingyin was able to convince him was not because Fu Qingyin was skillful, but because Fu Qingyin provided enough temptation.
That's the smuggling ship and manpower of the Celestial King's Society!
Unlike the other societies, the people of the Heavenly Kings Society are the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Army, and even after the tide is gone, they still use the method of military training to train these people.
So they have the ability to fight as a team, which is an advantage that is very different from other stragglers.
With these men and smuggling boats, François was finally able to accomplish what he had been planning for a long time!
The people of Canton may still be drunk and dying, but François has the most timely information, which is also the benefit of the sharing of intelligence by foreign coalition forces.
He knew that the Japanese had begun to attack the Shandong Peninsula, and the imperial court could not take care of each other, let alone withstand two battlefields.
Therefore, no matter how François messed around, the court has only one choice, and that is to negotiate peace!
Trio may be able to judge the situation, but he is too indecisive, and once the imperial court satisfies the appetite of the Japanese, they will come back and the benefits will be greatly reduced, not to mention that the Japanese appetite is not easy to feed.
When the imperial court satisfied the appetites of the Japanese, where could there be anything left for them, the French?
The reason why François is arrogant is also to persecute Trio, because once the war breaks out, Trio cannot stay out of the world, let alone sit idly by!
He wasn't wrong.
When he was about to board the smuggling ship, Trio's men arrived in time and brought reinforcements, allowing him to launch an offensive by land according to Trio's strategy, but he didn't expect it to work wonders!
Trio was not a Chinese expert like Prussiantown, but he loved the Chinese art of war, which China calls the art of war.
This "sound from east to west" also made François feel the infinite charm and great power of the art of war!
Because the defenders were concentrated in the port area, they drove straight into the port area, and they were unstoppable, and François's confidence was even stronger!
There was finally resistance to the trip, but it was sporadic and could not become a climate at all.
François paused for the time being, waiting for Trio's men to join him.
The fact that François did not have a single blow to gain such a huge advantage is enough to show that he has not lost his mind.
Although he also wanted to kill Chen Mu, even more strongly than Fu Qingyin, Fu Qingyin has not come back until now, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
He has fought with Chen Mu too many times, and he has lost to the same person every time, which is really uncomfortable, not to mention that his brother Meng Mo Longxi died tragically at the hands of Chen Mu, and no one is more eager to kill Chen Mu than him.
So when he listened to the sentry's report that the judges of the Stone Room Sacred Heart Cathedral had caught Chen Mu, the ecstasy in his heart could be imagined.
He was well aware of the identities of these Inquisitors, and he knew that in Europa itself, the Inquisitors were a thing of the past, and the likes of the Templars were illustrations in the pile of old papers, walking in the world as ridiculous as a play.
It's just that in the Qing Dynasty and many other places in Southeast Asia that have not yet been proselytized, many adventurers and mercenaries like to use this retro way, almost deception and play, to deter these people and plunder profits.
What's more, these judges were originally his François's people!
"Let them in!"
After all, in the city of Guangzhou, they don't need to set up camp, and if they occupy the restaurant, they will be the headquarters.
The sergeants were stationed outside, and he enjoyed everything in the hotel, as if he had returned to the extravagant civilized world, and the battle outside had nothing to do with him.
The judges soon walked in, followed by Chen Mu, who was tied up with five flowers, it was really Chen Mu!
"Sure enough, I caught this little clever ghost! Hahaha! François was ecstatic in his heart, and he was not surprised that these inquisitors had blood stains on them, because he knew better than everyone how much he needed to pay if he wanted to capture Chen Mu!
"You guys are God-blessed lucky dogs who actually caught this demon!" François walked briskly.
However, he had only taken two steps before he stopped, quickly turned back, and grabbed the short gun on the table!
"Do it!" He has been looking at Chen Mu, how could Chen Mu not be like this!
Seeing that François noticed it, Chen Mu immediately made a decision, broke the rope with a click, and pulled out the pistol given by Zhang Zhidong from his waist!
There was only one bullet in the gun, but to kill François, it was enough!
François aimed at Chen Mu at the same time, and neither of them fired.
"Although you are well disguised, but unfortunately, some things are innate, and it is impossible to disguise them." François's face turned pale, but he remained calm.
Chen Mu also understood what he meant.
Yang Dachun and others may be good at camouflage, but some things really can't make up for it, such as height, such as body type.
These are all congenital conditions, and the ghosts are tall and big, and the conditions for the judges to choose are more stringent in order to enhance their majesty and slaughter.
Therefore, unless Sun Youlin and others step on high heels, they will not be able to make up such a body at all.
The foreign soldiers who sent them in also raised their guns at this time, but Yang Dachun and the others quickly subdued them!
This is the enemy's command, the heart of the enemy's army.
In front of them was the enemy's commander, but they were in a stalemate with Chen Mu.
"You can't escape, my people will come in soon, and in your words, they won't be able to fly out even if they put on their wings!"
François was confident after all.
Chen Mu smiled and said, "It should be you who can't escape, right?" Before they arrived, it was enough for me to kill you several times. ”
François shook his head and said: "Your gun is not as fast as mine, and it is not as powerful as mine, if you shoot, you can only die together, you dare not and will not do it." ”
"I'm wearing armor, think about it, if you can't kill me, none of your buddies will survive, for your own sake, let them all die here, this is not something you will do."
Chen Mu was actually remorseful in his heart, he was too late to make a move, otherwise he wouldn't be so passive.
They had wanted to kidnap François, take him away, and then kill him to take revenge, maybe they could use this to relieve the siege of Guangzhou.
But who would have thought that François would be so alert that he would judge from his height and body shape that the judge was fake!
The enemy is in front of him, the gun is in his hand, as long as he pulls the trigger, the anger of hatred can be released and vented, but he can't do this.
What's even worse is that Chen Mu has already heard the movement outside, and more and more soldiers have besieged the restaurant and poured up to the second floor!
"Put down your gun!" At the critical moment, Yang Dachun stood up and shouted at François.
François couldn't understand it, but he could feel Yang Dachun's murderous intent and murderous aura!
"Tell your people not to move!" François's hands trembled a little, and his voice was unstable.
However, Chen Mu didn't translate, and Yang Dachun didn't care.
The owner of the silk shop kicked down a soldier, swung his sword with all his might, and a human skull rolled at François's feet!
"Put down your gun!" As soon as Yang Dachun took the lead, Sun Youlin also pushed the soldiers he held hostage to the front!
They are using their actions to show Chen Mu and François their posture, they will not be afraid of death, let alone retreat!
"Click!" Although the cross sword in Sun Youlin's hand was heavy, it was not as sharp as he imagined, this knife was not cut through, only half of his neck was cut off, the blade was stuck in the cervical vertebrae, the soldier's head was tilted to the side, drooping down, his mouth was still coughing and spitting blood, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't die for a while!
François was also frightened and pale.
Because the soldier was hanging from his head, and blood was spraying from his neck, and the blood was spraying to the ceiling!
"Chen, put down your gun, this matter is negotiable."
The sudden sound behind him did not surprise Chen Mu too much.
Surrounded and protected by soldiers, Trio and Isabella walked to the second floor and blocked the door.
"Your Excellency, you have invaded our homeland, and everyone who loves the motherland has the right to kill you, so why do you want me to put down my gun?"
Trio was silent for a moment, and said to Chen Mu: "You want to kill us, not because we invaded Guangzhou City, but because you want to take revenge, don't say it so righteously." ”
Chen Mu did not turn his head, but took two steps closer to François.
"Since you know that I am here for revenge, you should know that I am willing to pay any price, including my life, for revenge!"
François saw that Chen Mu was pressing, and subconsciously took a step back, just this step, he had already distinguished the superior.
"I know you're willing to pay for anything, but does that price include your buddies?"
"You can die with François, but these people of yours, I will torture them, I will make them taste the greatest pain in the world, which is not what you want to see."
Trio was still calm as usual, as if the stalemate between François and Chen Mu was not a problem at all in his eyes, and it was a big deal to kill both of them and solve the dilemma.
Chen Mu was indeed a little annoyed, he was not fully prepared when he was in the church, he was disguised, and he was recognized by François, which was the biggest failure and the biggest reason why they were in a predicament, and the responsibility was attributed to him Chen Mu.
But the matter has come to this point, Chen Mu will not feel sorry for himself, he can only find a way to break the deadlock, and only then can he have any hope of survival!
"Terrio, now that this is the case, I hope you can tell me the truth, kill my father, do you have a share?"
Trio walked to the door, was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "At this moment, I didn't need to answer any questions, but I still want to tell you that your father's death has nothing to do with me. ”
"You lied to me?" I thought Trio would readily admit it, but I didn't expect to wait for such an answer.
Facing Chen Mu's questioning, Trio just shook his head and said, "You have fallen into a deadlock of death, do I have to lie to you?" ”
"So, François is my last enemy?" Chen Mu raised his head suddenly, staring at François, and the beads of sweat on the latter's chin fell down.
