Chapter Twenty-Three: The Yellow Sparrow Follows

Soon, Chen Dingtian also moved from his small villa next to the Huangpu River to the place where foreign businessmen gathered, which was full of foreign businessmen, and it seemed that only Chen Dingtian and Fu Shanxiang, two Chinese faces, were here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf there are other fresh-faced Chinese people coming in, it will be very eye-catching, and it is easy to find out in advance and prepare for that time. At this time, Chen Dingtian moved from a small villa to a small bungalow, which was much smaller.

And Chen Dingtian was still busy writing one night. The shadow of him writing was reflected on the window of the room, leaving the shadow of a person writing at his desk. However, no one knew that a Night Killer had already begun to be deployed.

In the darkness of the night, a group of people dressed in purple and black clothes marched through the darkness, because this is China, and the electric light has not been invented, so the night here is still very dark. Shanghai is still in the process of development, and there is not much nightlife to do. Although it is already a concession, there are all kinds of living facilities, plus foreigners are only more than 1,000 people, not too much, and there is no nightlife. Therefore, everyone chose to rest after the night, which is almost the same as the Chinese work and rest habits.

So in this dark night, except for a small number of foreign militia patrolling the streets, there was no one else. Even these militias are not professional soldiers, but foreigners have chosen some voluntary guards, and to say that military quality is just a symbol, it is not as good as China's green battalion.

Those people in purple and black night clothes, where Chen Dingtian is located, is in the small western-style building. They took advantage of the darkness of the night and began to hide.

"My lord, how are we going to get in next?" A man asked.

The leader wore a black veil, but judging from the eyes, the slender eyelashes, coupled with her slender waist, were obviously a woman. The woman came to this small western-style building with five or six of her subordinates.

"Everyone prepare, don't think that these small western-style buildings can also stop the people in our Shangyu spare place! How can we people who have not experienced anything in the spare place be stumped by this? Everyone prepares for me, and when I go in, I will release the poisoned arrows directly. This time, the master said, those who want to die, not live. Just kill it, and don't worry about anything else. The woman in charge snorted.

"Yes, the minion commands!" The five men said together.

Soon, the six of them came up together, and they climbed up the wall of the western-style building, and then they began to reach the bedside. And the woman commanded with gestures, and those Manchu people began to aim their sleeve arrows at the figure of "Chen Dingtian" with the arrows in their hands.

"Put!"

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

A series of dozens of sleeve arrows were shot out, and then stabbed fiercely at that "Chen Dingtian", if it was an ordinary person, he would definitely die without a place to be buried. These dozens of arrows are enough to kill anyone, not to mention that these arrows have poison on them that seal their throats with blood, and they are sure to die.

"My lord, let's go, he's dead!"

The woman in charge immediately said, "No, there is a problem, this sound is not the sound of an arrow entering the body. It seems like the sound of a straw target that I shot when I practiced in the past. It's not good, we've been tricked, there's an ambush! ”

After the woman finished speaking, she immediately prepared to leave. But at this time, it was already late, and the alarm bell was already ringing around him.

"Bell bell bell bell ......"

Countless alarm bells rang around, and these hand-cranked alarm bells began to spread everywhere, and more than fifty British Marines began to approach in the direction of this small western-name building. They pointed their guns at the small western-style building, and then they adjusted the flintlock pistol in their hands to a state that could be fired at any time, and aimed it at the small western-style building. Even a lot of lights around have begun to aim at the small western-style building, although these lights are the light of oil lamps, but some special reflection principles are used to concentrate this glamour on the front, so that the small western-style building is reflected by many oil lamps to concentrate on the bright light, and it is suddenly illuminated as if it is daytime.

With the help of these lights, the rifles of the British soldiers could be accurately aimed at the Manchu spies. Although those Manchu spies were wearing purple and black night clothes, they were obviously illuminated by this powerful light as if it were daylight, and there was nowhere to hide. Instead, their purple-black clothes became the most obvious target, and dozens of British Marines pointed their rifles at them.

"Listen to me the thieves above, you have been surrounded, hurry up and arrest me, don't resist. You are suspected of theft in the concession, you have been surrounded, hurry up and arrest you, or we will shoot! A Chinese shouted in Chinese at the Manchu agents.

A Manchu spy immediately couldn't help but want to shout: "I am Shang Yu of the Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Office...... Yes! ”

The agent screamed and was shot dead. However, it was not the British soldier who shot him, but the female leader.

"They just said that they were arresting the Mao thief, which means that they British barbarians didn't want to fall out with us in the Qing Dynasty, so they just called us Mao thieves. We can't trouble our masters, you see? Do you know what to do? We can't afford to add trouble to our masters. The female leader said.

The subordinates said with a serious face: "Understood! ”

Soon, those Manchu agents also understood that they couldn't run this time, and they knew that they had fallen into a trap this time. However, depending on the situation, these British did not have the idea of falling out directly with the Manchus, but only defined them as "Mao thieves". If it's an agent and a thief, there's a big difference. The Manchu agents knew they must have been running this time, and they were all prepared. As a Manchu spy organization, it naturally underwent rigorous training.

They knew that they could not add trouble to the Manchu Emperor, and since the British only defined them as thieves, then everything could still be solved.

The remaining four male agents took out a pill and ate it without hesitation. Not long after, these agents also vomited blood and died, apparently extremely poisonous, and died without pain after eating.

"Smack!" The agents were poisoned and fell to the ground.

The female agent leader also took out a poison and took the initiative to swallow it. However, the female leader just swallowed it, unlike those subordinates, she didn't vomit blood, she just fell on the spot.

"Consul Aliguo, they didn't come out, I don't know what's going on!" The British company commander said.

Ali Guo took the initiative to say to his subordinates: "Let one go in and have a look!" ”

Soon, a British soldier took the initiative to go in and take a look, and then came out and said: "Company commander, Mr. Consul, these people have committed suicide by poisoning." ”

"Dead? What a bunch of dead soldiers! That Ali Guo also sighed.

Ali Guo turned his head to Chen Dingtian and said, "Mr. Chen, I have already helped you solve it. I helped you this time, and this time I killed these Chinese spies, so that in a short period of time, your Chinese government should not send people to assassinate you. They wouldn't have sent someone if they didn't find out if we had soldiers nearby. ”

Chen Dingtian immediately said to Fu Shanxiang next to him: "Miss Fu Shanxiang, this time thanks to you for thinking of a way!" This time, we took the initiative to calculate these Manchus and killed some of them, so that they did not understand the situation in a short period of time and did not dare to act casually. This should make them dare not make random moves for a long time, which is a good deterrent to the Manchus. This time thanks to you for coming up with this solution, otherwise I would have been in real trouble. ”

Fu Shanxiang took the initiative to say: "Actually, I also have my thoughts, why should we passively see the moves?" Why can't we take the initiative, since we know that they will definitely send someone to assassinate them, then we might as well take the initiative to make their plan fail. If we ambush them in turn, it will be a very big deterrent for them. It only takes one counter-ambush against them, so that we can fight for the stability of the world for a long time. Otherwise, if we passively see the moves, we will suffer. I might as well change from passive to active, so that they will be nervous and will not dare to act easily. And our counter-ambush also shows that we are not as weak and incompetent as we imagined. We're going to fight back, we're going to do it the other way. ”

"Well, Miss Fu Shanxiang, you really have a bit of a general's style!" Chen Dingtian praised.

Fu Shanxiang smiled at Chen Dingtian, obviously using this compliment, and felt very satisfied. Next, Chen Dingtian also returned to his house, where the British soldiers were cleaning up the bodies of Manchu agents who had committed suicide by poisoning. This time, the British only characterized these Manchu agents as "Mao thieves", thinking that you and they did not want to start a war with the Manchus. Britain will not tear its face with China for Chen Dingtian's sake, and it is already very face-saving for Ali to be able to do this.

The female leader of the Manchu agents obviously thought of this, and since she had run, she also chose to commit suicide, and then avoid being exposed by the enemy to the detriment of their master. Chen Dingtian walked into his room and saw that the Manchu agents were dead. Even the face showed a purple-black color, apparently this poison did not know what the ingredients were, and after dying, the skin color of those corpses also changed.

Chen Dingtian felt quite curious, these are the so-called agents? These agents are indeed dead soldiers, and they choose to commit suicide immediately after failing one mission after another, with almost no mud and water. is definitely a dead soldier, and after they couldn't complete the task, in order not to cause trouble to their master, they directly chose to commit suicide. Although the British knew that they were Manchu agents, it was impossible to obtain confessions. Of course, if the British got the confession, they could even use the confession to choose to force the Manchus to give up more benefits. These people obviously knew this, and it was impossible for them to leave such a handle for their masters, and chose to commit suicide.

After Chen Dingtian came to the head of the Manchu female agents, he felt a little strange and said, "Other people's faces turned purple after they died, why is this person's skin still so white?" ”

Just when Chen Dingtian was puzzled, the woman who was already "dead" suddenly flicked her feet, and suddenly stood up quickly, pointing at Chen Dingtian with her finger, obviously preparing to start shooting Chen Dingtian with a sleeve arrow.

At this critical moment, Chen Dingtian suddenly lost his soul, and he knew this person's purpose. It was ruthless enough, she actually crashed to death, and chose to assassinate herself when she came in. In this moment of lightning, Chen Dingtian felt that he was so close to death, and he could even see the reflection of some metal under the light. The metallic stuff in the man's sleeve could shoot at him at any moment.

Chen Dingtian would not doubt that once he was shot by this sleeve arrow, he would definitely die.

"My life is at stake!" Chen Dingtian exclaimed in his heart.

"Smack!"

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

A gunshot rang out at the same time and the sound of some sleeve arrows cutting through the air came out, Chen Dingtian couldn't do anything at this moment, he couldn't move at all. He was just a man of letters, and he couldn't dodge this quick sleeve arrow, all he could do was close his eyes and wait for death.

"Doodoo Dot ......"

"Ahh

The sound of some Hidden Arrows ingesting wood was heard, followed by a woman screaming in pain.

Chen Dingtian listened to this scene, and then after a long while, he realized that he had not been hit by an arrow. Just as he wondered why he hadn't been shot, the woman was holding a bleeding arm and screaming. Recite. Behind him, the company commander of the British Marine Corps blew his pistol, apparently he had fired the same shot.

Chen Dingtian then saw that on a chair behind him, there were actually those black luster arrows inserted, which were probably highly poisonous. Chen Dingtian understood, this was most likely the British company commander who shot at this critical moment of time, because the speed of the bullet was much faster than the speed of the sleeve arrow, so the bullet hit the woman's arm first, and then the direction of the sleeve arrow was crooked. In this way, the Hidden Arrow did not hit Chen Dingtian, but hit somewhere else.

"It's dangerous!" Chen Dingtian wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and thought.

Soon, the British soldiers who were disposing of the corpses heard this, and they all quickly put down their work and came over to point their guns at the Manchu agent who was not yet dead. The last female Manchu agent was held at least twenty guns, apparently to be shot to death if she did anything in a hurry.

The female agent saw this and knew that her plan had failed again, and was ready to open her mouth and bite the poison in her mouth. This time I'm really going to kill myself, not like the fake poison just now.

"Whoosh!"

There was another gentle stroke, and the female agent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty just wanted to bite through the poison and commit suicide, but he suddenly felt that he was bitten by a mosquito on his face, and then he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to bite through the poison, and fell to the ground on the spot.
