In the ring, the axe-wielding brothers split up and attacked, but they couldn't resist the blockade with two guns. The two Yu family warriors with guns are worthy of being masters, and the two spears are not chaotic at all, one is always on the offensive, and the other is on the back defense. The axe-wielding samurai tried to break up his opponent's cooperation several times, but the two men with guns always advanced and retreated in sync.

With a roar, the elder brother squatted down, covered himself with a shield in his left hand, shrank on the ground, and slashed at the feet of a spear-wielding samurai with an axe close to the ground.

"Cut off his legs! Kill him! A group of spectators under the ring suddenly shouted like crazy.

At that moment, the elder brother of the axe-wielding samurai used the proud "Earth Kill Slash", and it was with this move that countless famous gladiator warriors lost a foot and were then beheaded by an axe. This kind of trick requires not only speed and timing, but also physical flexibility, and it is hard to imagine that with his huge body, he is as agile as an ape.

The spear-wielding samurai suddenly moved two feet in front of the barrel of the gun as he retreated, holding the middle of the barrel and stabbing it into the opponent's shield with all his might. If he can't intercept the enemy's attack, he will definitely not be able to save his legs.

"It looks like the winner has been decided." The guard beside Lindley whispered. The shield used by the axe brothers is made of brass as a whole, which is flexible and smooth, and as long as the tip of the spear slides slightly on the shield, the strength will be completely removed, and it is completely impossible to penetrate the shield. Once the spear-wielding samurai fell, the remaining one would be unable to resist the combined blows of the opponent.

Spearhead lit his shield and paused. It's just a moment that ordinary people can't notice, but Lindley suddenly realized that he was completely wrong. That shot turned out to be a miss! And after a beating, the gun poured out like a real frenzy, and the bronze shield was torn by the blade, and the tip of the spear burrowed into the knee of the axe-wielding samurai. The spear-wielding samurai shouted and stepped up, and a bloody kneecap was picked out by the edge of his spear!

"Kill him! Kill him! There was another hysterical roar outside the field. Originally, the spectators who had been waiting to see the legs of the spear-wielding samurai had their legs cut off were waiting for the spear-wielding samurai to kill their opponents. These powerless merchants were so fanatical when they saw blood. Lindeli felt a chill in his heart.

Before the spear-wielding samurai's spear could be pierced, the younger brother of the axe-wielding brother was already mad, desperately brandishing his battle axe and pounced on him. The volley was so fierce that the spear of the spear-wielding samurai had no time to withdraw. His companion was holding the tail of the spear, and the long weapon became an obstacle, and his companion had no time to turn the spear to assassinate the younger brother.

The iron light of the axe flashed. Slashed into the left shoulder of the spear-wielding samurai. But his brother's attack also came to an end, and he spat out a mouthful of blood and threw himself into the dust, and behind him, his fellow samurai with a spear slowly raised his spear. After a short silence, the spectators frantically waved their arms and shouted, it turned out that this person actually slashed at the younger brother's vest with a gun, and completely shattered his internal organs through the iron leaf armor.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The call of the audience turned into a monotonous word "kill", with a strong push and demagogy. These gamblers, who have invested heavily in the ring, will never be satisfied if they see blood smeared in the ring. How to kill the opponent in the most brutal way after the victory is the climax of the whole scene. And the brutal methods of gladiatorial samurai. It will also bring him fame and terrible majesty.

Without the slightest expression, the gun-wielding samurai's companion pointed the spear at the back of the brother's head, who was struggling to crawl towards the tomahawk that had fallen to the ground in the distance. The audience suddenly fell silent, and it was an exciting moment for them, and the veteran audience knew that this man was going to be shot through the back of the head. When the broad spear pierced the back of the head, the entire skull would be shattered, and the scene of blood and brains splattering was what these wealthy merchants were happy to see.

Lindley's guard was now left with a dying desolation in his heart, and he saw that the younger brother was still struggling to crawl towards the tomahawk. And the man slowly pulled the spear behind his back, and the eyes of the audience were so bloodthirsty. The ring was littered with gold cakes from gamblers. Everything was like a needle pricking his body, and he suddenly thought of the situation of the remnants and leaders of the heavenly kingdom now, which did not seem to be any better than those dying on the stage.

There seemed to be a "poof" behind him, and then the entire spectator erupted into an unbridled roar. Lindeley's bodyguard felt that the overwhelming noise was about to drown him out completely, and he half-turned his head to see Lindeley sitting there silently. There are no expressions.

Suddenly, a soft laugh sounded in the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Xi Yuguang slapped his face, and said with a smile: "Lost." ”

"You've lost all their share." Yu Guoliang said with a smile.

"It's okay, anyway, it was given by Yu Gongbai." Lindley smiled too.

"It doesn't matter, I'll give the money to Mr. Yu Li again." Xi Yuguang said with a smile. "I hit it off with Mr. Yu Li, why don't you go to my house and talk about it?"

"Dare to disobey." Lindley replied immediately.

Yu Guoliang didn't seem to expect Xi Yuguang to send an invitation to Lin Deli, he turned his head to look at Xi Yuguang, although he still had a faint smile on his face, he still couldn't hide his surprise.

When Lindley arrived at the large workshop, which sat on the six entrances, it was full of people, and the slender bamboo poles were covered with all kinds of brightly colored cloths that had just been soaked out of the dye vat.

People know that the owner of this big dyeing workshop is the property of the Xi family, the leader of the cloth industry in Hangzhou, but they don't know that the third young master of the Xi family is now in an elegant courtyard in the workshop, having a long conversation with the younger brother of the most loyal foreign fighter in the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom in the past.

Now Lindley and his wounded men are all hiding in this big dye factory.

"If it weren't for the good cooperation between you and me last night, I'm afraid we wouldn't have seen the sun today. Yu Guoliang's guy has never been a trustworthy person. Xi Yuguang's words were frank and straightforward, after the incident last night, the relationship between the two has become a lot closer, and this kind of disrespectful remarks are not easy to say to outsiders.

"Last night's incident, thank you Mr. Xi." Lindley said gratefully.

"Mr. Li, don't say that, I respect Brother Ling's righteous deeds back then, so I want to help you." Xi Yuguang said with a smile.

"How did Mr. Xi know about his brother's deeds?" Lindley asked in surprise.

"Our Xi family has a lot of dealings with the Customs and Excise Department, and it was there that I saw the old archives and learned about Brother Ling's deeds." Xi Yuguang replied, "Brother Ling's tomb is now in England, if I have the opportunity to go to England, I will definitely go to pay respects." ”

Hearing Xi Yuguang's words. Lindley's heart was relaxed.

He knew that Xi Yuguang would not hand them over to the officers and soldiers.

After a day of fighting, Lindeley felt a wave of sleepiness and fell asleep in a daze.

After some time, Lindley was awakened by the chirping of birds, and he suddenly realized that he had fallen asleep. It must be the residual alcohol in the stomach cavity that is at fault. Lin Deli looked up in a trance and found that Xi Yuguang was still sitting on an ebony wooden bench looking at him with a smile. Lin Deli slapped his palm on the head and bounced up, and he suddenly found that the sable fur coat on Xi Yuguang's body was draped over his shoulders, and it was sliding down quickly at the moment, and he was so anxious that he grabbed it with one hand. In his busy schedule, he crushed the chair and fell to the ground. It's funny, like a little guy dressed in a bathhouse.

"Mr. Xi."

"It's really rare among Westerners that you are not good at drinking." Xi Yuguang couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw his embarrassment, "It's okay, hehe, it's okay." ”

Lin Deli didn't dare to think about what Xi Yuguang would think of himself. He didn't want to think about it anymore. He stood up and stood on the masonry floor, his face flushed. Such a gaffe had never been seen before in Lindley's case.

"Let's go around my room." Xi Yuguang took his hand and walked into the study behind the shadow wall.

Where is this study, it's like a sea of cloth. The staggered wooden frame is smeared with bright bead powder, like a crystal clear bead net. In the midst of that intricate network, countless long silks hung on the ground. Vivid orange red, enchanting turquoise, mysterious dark. The pure whiteness is like a plate of paint in the hands of a painter. Lindley forgot to breathe. He followed Xi Yuguang like an ignorant child, sometimes stepping forward and sometimes turning back in the cloth corridor, and came to the center of the room. Four giant colored cloths cut off the outside world, enclosing a world of its own. An elaborate wooden table sits in front of you.

Xi Yuguang casually took a satin white cloth from the table, "Does Mr. Yu Li know it?" ”

Lindley shook his head, and the embarrassment in the courtyard was replaced by amazement. Even though he had been traveling for several years, Lindley still did not recognize a piece of cloth made of any material. The smooth texture is like virgin creamy skin. It feels refreshing to the touch and glides across the ice, and the pure white is a world of difference compared to the white of ordinary satin, just like the calmness of water lilies wet with mud and not stained. Lindley couldn't help but think if this cloth could be cut into a lining by hand. Wearing it on a beautiful woman, what a scenery it will be.

"For you." Xi Yuguang gently pushed the white cloth over.

Lin Deli hurriedly shook his head and said, "Young Master Xi, I can't afford your heavy courtesy." Not knowing the origin did not mean that he had no vision, and Lindley concluded that the cloth was worth a lot, and although he liked it, he could not accept it.

"Hehe, in fact, I have something to ask for." The third son of the Xi family said in a sincere tone.

"Since I have received the help of Gongzi Xi, Gongzi can tell me if he has something." Lin Deli pushed the cloth back to Xi Yuguang's side.

Xi Yuguang put away most of his smile and said in a deep voice: "I admire Brother Ling, and I saw that Mr. Lin was ambitious and promising, so I insisted on intersecting. Although Xi's net worth is not as good as Yu Guoliang, a mere piece of jade yarn is nothing. ”

This kind of jade yarn is made of extremely fine silk by the Qiao women of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the clothes made of this material are warm in winter and cool in summer, never fade, and it is a luxury item that the nobles of the king and grandson of the Qianwang compete to buy. But because of the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature it is rarely available. But in the eyes of the third son of the dignified Xi family, it is indeed a drop in the bucket. Lin Deli saw Xi Yuguang's resolute attitude, and he really wanted to make friends with such a well-informed and chivalrous rich businessman, so he said: "Then I will be ashamed." In fact, he also wanted to have a piece of clothing woven of jade yarn for his good friend in Tianjin, but he couldn't find it.

The solemnity on Xi Yuguang's face suddenly froze, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Li, this is the style of a Western righteous man." His attitude changed so quickly, and I am afraid that most of the seriousness just now was also pretended.

Lin Deli then remembered that the young man in front of him who was not angry and arrogant was dealing with the customs, and foreigners naturally saw a lot, so he no longer felt embarrassed. But why did this third son of the Xi family take a huge risk to make friends with himself? This kind of curious thought can only be suppressed in the bottom of his heart, and he can't express it. After all, he and Xi Yuguang are only a few faces, and no matter how speculative they are, they are just a relationship of mutual use.

"Master Xi, if you have anything you want me to do, please just ask."

"I don't need to do anything now, but later. Please take care of me. Xi Yuguang smiled.

Lin Deli said: "Well, Mr. Xi has a place to get our brothers, please do not hesitate to tell me, I will go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up." But right now, we are here with Xi Gongzi, I'm afraid it will cause you trouble. ”

"Mr. Yu Li is serious. As for the trouble, there may be a little, but Mr. is an Englishman, and the officers and soldiers dare not provoke easily, I have a spacious place here, and I will arrange for you to leave until the injured brother recovers, but it can be safe. Xi Yuguang said lightly.

"Mr. Xi, I take the liberty of asking. In the eyes of the Qianguo government, we are all rebels, and you are a rich family, why do you want to help us? Aren't you afraid of denunciating people and being implicated? Lindley spoke out the long-hidden doubts in his mind.

Regardless of this question, he can't be completely relieved after all.

The reason why he went to find Yu Guoliang this time was because Yu Guoliang's family also had a lot of connections with the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom back then, and most of the wealth accumulated by the Yu family came from the "holy treasury" of the kings of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After the defeat of the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom, Yu Guoliang's father covered many of the rest of the Heavenly Kingdom as a wealthy merchant and retreated overseas. It was because of him that he would come to the door to ask for help at the end of the road, but what he never expected was that after so many years, Yu's father died, and Yu Guoliang presided over the Yu family, and he had already respected the descendants of the chaotic party.

"The world is going to be in chaos. It's better to have more friends. Xi Yuguang replied.

"Since the Xi family has dealings with the customs, wouldn't it be better to simply cooperate with the customs?" Lindley asked.

Xi Yuguang leaned back in the chair, sighed, and said with a helpless wry smile: "How can things be as good as they should be." ”

"Is it because of the government's fear?" Lindley asked again.

Xi Yuguang's smile showed a little loss. Shook his head.

"Is there anything else in the Xi family that the son doesn't know?" Lindley seemed to have guessed something.

"Mr. Yu Li thinks that a person like me can have a high status in the family?" Xi Yuguang turned his head and asked rhetorically, but he suppressed Lin Deli's words to his lips.
