The church was strengthened, and John brought in fifty more Marines to protect Li Weiguo against the assassination of the Heaven and Earth Society.

However, Li Weiguo knew that if the people of the Heaven and Earth Society really wanted to kill him, the protection of these fifty soldiers alone was far from enough.

The bell must be tied to the bell, and after Li Weiguo thought about it for a long time, he already had a coping strategy in his heart.

"What? You want three hundred muskets? John asked, surprised.

"Plus three tons of raw lead and a hundred barrels of gunpowder!" Li Weiguo thought about it and added.

In those days, there was no standard type of bullet, and the musket bullets were all smelted by the soldiers themselves with matching bullet molds, and this raw lead was the bullet material.

"What the hell do you want to do?" John asked, puzzled.

"Of course, it's time to settle the world!" Li Weiguo smiled, looked at John and added: "However, don't worry, I will take care of this arms and I will return it to you with interest in the future, and I guarantee that you will not suffer a loss." ”

John frowned, three hundred muskets and three tons of raw lead are not trivial, if there is not enough reason for the British side will never agree, of course, if it is profitable, then it is another matter.

"Are you sure it's borrowed? Do you want to return the principal with interest? ”

"Of course! You have to trust me. Li Weiguo nodded and smiled mysteriously.

John stared at Li Weiguo for a long time, he felt that the other party was full of confidence, combined with the fact that the other party easily settled the table when Jiang Zhu helped him get the freight dock a few days ago, he should be sure.

"Good! I'll help you figure it out! John nodded heavily, making up his mind, after all, he didn't want the people of the Heaven and Earth Society to slaughter Li Weiguo.

Later, when the Heaven and Earth Society came to visit, John looked nervous and ordered all the soldiers to prepare for battle.

However, Li Weiguo still showed a calm demeanor, and seemed to be sure that the heaven and earth would be settled, and John shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing to himself.

In the reception room, the atmosphere was tense, and as soon as the three members of the Heaven and Earth Society came in, they had a strong murderous aura, which was overwhelming.

This is the next horse, John and others don't understand this kind of atmosphere in the rivers and lakes, but Li Weiguo understands.

There were three visitors, the leader was a handsome-looking young man who was jealous of even a woman, and behind him stood a big man on the left and right, with a fierce and vicious appearance, and ordinary people were enough to be frightened just by looking at it.

Li Weiguo glanced at the three of them, didn't get up, just raised his hand and pointed, and said ignorantly: "Sit down!" ”

This kind of expression is surprising, ordinary people who see the people of the Heaven and Earth Society must have stepped forward to beat a thousand, served tea and poured water, and gave up the main seat for them to sit, but the one in front of him sat on the main seat with Erlang's legs crossed and didn't move, let alone come down to greet him, he didn't even say the word 'please', and directly said the word 'sit', as if he was giving alms, and he really didn't take them seriously.

"I said the kid ......" one of the big men got angry and wanted to scold.

"Don't be rude!" The young handsome man quickly spoke to stop him, looked Li Weiguo up and down, smiled slightly, and turned to sit aside.

The two big men glared at Li Weiguo angrily, and then stood behind the handsome boy.

Li Weiguo smiled slightly, you can't weaken your momentum when dealing with people like the Heaven and Earth Society, you have to be stronger than them, otherwise once you show weakness, you will definitely be eaten by them.

The way of the rivers and lakes only applies to the law of the jungle, and the king is respected.

"I don't know what this son is called, why are you here to do it?" Li Weiguo asked, directly ignoring the two big men, obviously treating them as subordinates.

What are we doing here, aren't we knowingly advisors?

The two big men stared at them when they heard this, especially the big man who wanted to scold Li Weiguo just now.

However, the handsome boy kept smiling, waved his hand to stop the two subordinates from going crazy, looked at Li Weiguo with interest, and replied: "It is said that heroes are young people, and it was really eye-opening when I saw it today, Li Gongzi is only twelve years old, but he has a stunt, and he singled out the Jiang Bamboo Gang a few days ago to become famous in one fell swoop, which is admirable." Su Sanlang, the hall master of the Flame Hall in the Lower Heaven and Earth Society, came uninvited, and looked at Li Gongzi Haihan. ”

It turned out to be one of the five hall masters of the Heaven and Earth Society, the hall master of the Flame Hall, what a big deal!

Li Weiguo was also taken aback.

But in this way, he can't show weakness even more, the other party must have a plan, so he snorted coldly: "It turned out to be Hall Master Su, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Unexpectedly, just a batch of goods was lost, and the high-level leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society were alarmed to come forward in person! This is the rhythm that is going to destroy me! ”

"How do you extinguish words? Li Gongzi is serious! Su Saburo said lightly: "As long as Li Gongzi can get this batch of goods back within three days, we will treat this incident as if this incident has not happened." ”

Li Weiguo sneered: "Your association is the leader of the **, what is there that you don't know?" Who stole your goods, I think you must have been very clear in your hearts, since you have to embarrass me, then draw a line, if I can accept it, I will sell you a face, if you deceive people too much, it's a big deal. ”

Li Weiguo is strong, he breaks the key in one sentence, and does not talk to the other party.

Su Saburo looked surprised, it was hard to imagine that a twelve-year-old boy could see things so far-reaching and directly understand the true purpose of their Heaven and Earth Society.

In fact, Li Weiguo himself also guessed that if Heaven and Earth would be bent on destroying him, he would not be guilty of sending one of the five hall masters to come in person, since he had sent high-level personnel to come, there must be other important things, because only high-level personnel could make decisions.

"Li Gongzi really surprised Zaixia!" Su Saburo smiled and continued: "Since Li Gongzi has made his words clear, there is no need to hide it below. That's right, we do know who stole our goods, but the dock belongs to your Li Gongzi, and our goods were stolen at your dock, and you Li Gongzi can't escape the involvement, don't you deny this? ”

"I said that I think I am unlucky, who let me steal other people's jobs, it is reasonable to be retaliated against!" Li Weiguo said impatiently deliberately, but he was relieved in his heart, seeing that his judgment was correct, the other party must have asked him, as long as he asked for something, it would be easy to do.

Su Saburo smiled bitterly, he was also one of the five hall masters of the Heaven and Earth Society, and he was not respectful and respectful anywhere, but now the young man in front of him didn't give him face at all, he spoke strongly, full of gunpowder, as if he owed him money in turn.

You're still a child, I don't care about you, and people in the province say that I've lost my identity!

Su Saburo thought so in his heart, but he did ask for help this time, and he deliberately sent a message to embarrass Li Weiguo before, but he just got off the horse, thinking that Li Weiguo was scared and weak, so he obediently came to beg himself, and then pushed the boat down the river to put forward the conditions, and it was a matter of course. But now it's good, Xia Ma Wei didn't bluff the other party, but the other party guessed the true purpose of his group, which really made him lose face.

Or is he inexperienced, if the late old hall master is here, where can Li Weiguo, a twelve-year-old egg, be able to succeed?

Su Saburo shook his head with a wry smile, and simply said openly: "Since Li Gongzi also admits to being responsible, then I will say it directly." We can snatch back that batch of goods by ourselves, and we will no longer ask Li Gongzi for compensation, but ask Li Gongzi for a favor. ”

Li Weiguo immediately put his mind at ease, but he still pulled his face, looked strong, and said, "I don't know how to help?" ”

Su Saburo smiled and said, "It's very simple, it's just a gesture for Li Gongzi." I heard that Li Gongzi is the counselor of the British Legation, so it shouldn't be difficult to help us ship this batch of goods to Guangxi, right? ”

So that's it!

Li Weiguo immediately understood that it would not be easy for the Qing soldiers to check the passage of these weapons from Jiangning to Guangxi when they were transported from Jiangning to Guangxi, and it would be much easier if it was a British ship, after all, the Qing army sailors would not dare to check the British ship.

"I have to say that you will make a good calculation! Use the British to help you smuggle arms, high, really high, admire! Li Weiguo said with a smile, making people feel that it was praise or depreciation.

Su Saburo said with a little embarrassment: "If Li Gongzi can contribute to this, heaven and earth will be grateful." ”

Li Weiguo communicated with John in English, and John said that there was no problem, so Li Weiguo turned to Su Saburo and said, "This matter is no problem, but there is a win-win deal in the next place, I don't know if Master Su is willing to do it?" ”

Su Saburo asked curiously: "Li Gongzi said to listen to it!" ”

Li Weiguo replied: "Your Guihui will transport weapons to Guangxi, presumably with the intention of helping Hong Xiuquan rebel, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Su Saburo stood up suddenly, stared at Li Weiguo with both eyes, and asked with a high degree of vigilance: "What did Li Gongzi say this?" ”

Li Weiguo was also taken aback, can he be so nervous?

"Calm down, calm down, Hall Master Su don't be impatient, sit down and listen to me." Li Weiguo persuaded in an old-fashioned manner, motioning to the other party to sit down, don't make a big fuss, it's weird and scary.

Su Saburo also regretted it, supporting Hong Xiuquan was just his own idea, and he didn't report it to the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society. Because Su Saburo had just taken over the Agni Hall from his father-in-law, because he was too young to convince the public and urgently needed to do a big thing, he happened to learn that Hong Xiuquan was about to rebel, so he decided to transport a batch of weapons and bring people to join Hong Xiuquan's team in person, in order to consolidate his position as the hall master of the Agni Hall, this matter is only known to him and a few henchmen, Li Weiguo should not know, but he stood up and obviously told the other party that this matter is true, if the other party is bluffing himself, wouldn't he have been tricked just now.

This young man's scheming is really not simple!

Su Saburo's expression changed a few times, and he was a little disturbed, he slowly sat down and said: "Li Gongzi, don't speculate randomly, rebellion is a matter of losing your head!" ”

"Your heaven and earth will be cleared every day, and you are still afraid of losing your head?" As soon as Li Weiguo finished speaking, he saw that Su Sanlang was about to stand up again, and hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, okay, just kidding, don't worry, I just want to help you!" ”

"Really? How can you help? As soon as Su Saburo opened his mouth, he immediately regretted it, which is equivalent to not recruiting himself.

The two big men behind him shook their heads and sighed, and glanced at each other, as if to say: After all, the hall master is too young to hold his breath, this time our Agni Hall is embarrassing, and the opponent is only a twelve-year-old boy.

Even Li Weiguo couldn't help but almost laugh, this Su Saburo can't do it, he lacks exercise.

In order to avoid embarrassment for both parties, Li Weiguo said directly: "In fact, it is indeed a clever move for Hall Master Su to help Hong Xiuquan, and now that Hong Xiuquan is being forced by the Qing army, it is a good time to send charcoal in the snow, if you wait for Hong Xiuquan to become the climate and then go to help, it can only be the icing on the cake." However, Hong Xiuquan is estimated that there is no shortage of this kind of sword and weapon, and you may not be taken seriously if you give him these. ”

"What does Gongzi Li mean?" Su Saburo asked, feeling that it made sense.

Li Weiguo smiled: "Have you forgotten what I did?" The British foreign guns and foreign cannons are powerful, the Qing army was defeated and forced to cede land and pay compensation, I intend to help you get a batch of foreign guns and foreign cannons, you take these guys to find Hong Xiuquan, this weight is a hundred times stronger than those swords! ”

"Is that true? Li Gongzi, don't joke with me! Su Saburo looked very excited, he naturally knew the power of foreign guns and cannons, but he couldn't get them with strict control.

Li Weiguo nodded and said, "If Hall Master Su is suspicious, if we are not weak, how about we worship as brothers first?" ”

Brotherhood?

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, Su Sanlang's expression was even more exciting, some couldn't cry or laugh, and the two big men behind him wanted to strangle Li Weiguo.

"Isn't Hall Master Su looking down on me?"

Well, it was Li Weiguo's turn to fight back, and one sentence forced Su Saburo to be cornered.

"Why not?" Su Saburo was silent for a while and then gritted his teeth and said, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision.
