Chapter 53: The Wheel Teeth of Fate Still Rotate (Part II)
"Electric light?"
Sun Wen was a little puzzled, when he was studying in Honolulu, he had seen carbonized bamboo silk light bulbs, but the light was a little dim, unlike this bright light, it was completely like bright sunshine, illuminating the night sky as if it was day.
At this time, Lu Haodong suddenly saw a group of people walking in the distance in an orderly manner, all of them wearing white robes embroidered with patterns. His face moved, and he said softly: "Mr. Sun, that's a member of the Divine Tree Sect, let's get in." “
Hearing this, Masao Watanabe temporarily reassured the reason for the destruction of the consulate, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Lu, I don't think your idea works, now there are officers and soldiers everywhere to investigate, we should quickly evacuate here, cross the river from the Huangsha Railway Station to Foshan, and then leave China by boat." “
"No, Mr. Watanabe, I think it's just the opposite, there must be heavy troops guarding and investigating the various exits in Guangfu, if we go over, wouldn't we be caught in the net." After living in Guangfu for a long time, coupled with the information collected before, Lu Haodong can roughly guess the government's response at this time. Therefore, they can't leave rashly at the moment, and they have to hide in Guangfu for a while to avoid the limelight.
"Ugh." Watanabe Masao thought about it for a while and felt that Lu Haodong's words were true. Then, as if thinking of something terrible, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his expression was a little frightened, and he hurriedly looked around.
"Mr. Watanabe, you are." Seeing this, Sun Wen asked.
Seeing that there was no movement around him, Masao Watanabe calmed down a little and said, "Mr. Sun, we have to get out of here quickly." “
As soon as the words fell, Masao Watanabe took Sun Wen and Lu Haodong and set off towards the east of the source of the light.
Watanabe Masao had been trained as a spy for five years, and at this time he made the best use of anti-stalking, and his figure went back and forth several times in the dark places of the streets, corners and intersections, and it didn't take long for Sun Wen and Lu Haodong to take them to a dark place.
Then, in the surprised sight of the two, Masao Watanabe suddenly squatted down, dug out a dozen handfuls of dirt in the corner of the wall with both hands, and took out a burden. One person set up a set of coarse linen clothes and said, "Mr. Sun, we have to change the clothes on our bodies." “
"Our whereabouts may be seen by enemies in the shadows." Masao Watanabe felt that the bombing of the consulate of the island country was not so simple, and perhaps there were other actions behind the scenes, so they could not stay there any longer, and they had to change their faces. Thinking about it from another perspective, if he is behind the scenes, he will definitely arrange for people to observe from a distance if there are any fish that have slipped through the net.
However, what makes Masao Watanabe wonder is, what is the purpose of destroying the consulate?
Benefit? Hate disputes? Or in the consulate, there is something that is needed by the people behind the scenes?
However, in the consulate, the most important thing is the information on the military defense layout of the Qing Dynasty.
At this moment, he really couldn't think of who was behind the scenes, because there were too many objects of suspicion, just talking about the Western countries, there were seven or eight countries stationed troops here in Guangfu.
……
If you stand above the night sky and look down, you can see a 30 to 40 meter long dragon, starting from the dimly lit Huangsha Railway Station, along the silent and dark shore, to the brightly lit East Bridge.
Perhaps the prestige of the Divine Tree Sect has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people, making some people in Guangfu superstitious, and in tonight's turmoil, if they want to save their lives, it is a good plan to follow the footsteps of the Divine Tree Sect.
Thereupon.
When Shen Shu and Li Huzi and their party changed out of their black clothes, put on white robes embroidered with green leaves, went ashore from Huangsha Railway Station, and walked to Dongqiao, the people who fled here gradually diverted, some crossed the river, and some followed Shen Shu and Li Huzi and their group.
The latter, they have mixed thoughts.
Some people feel anxious about leaving their homeland, but they are panicked by the turmoil;
Some people feel dazed and frightened by the unknown future in a foreign land, and then subconsciously follow the flow of people and walk on the shore in despair;
More people are nervous and skeptical of the choices they make at the moment.
At the back of the line.
As soon as Sun Wen, Lu Haodong and Watanabe Masao changed their clothes, they came out of the alley and blended into the flow of people. At this time, Sun Wen saw the flow of people in front of him stop, and he tiptoed to look sideways.
I saw a five-meter-high, prismatic altar in the form of a platform in the open space in front of the east bridge, which was made of wooden strips with mortise and tenon structures; There is a row of bonsai equipped with emerald green trees around the ground, its form is intertwined, the cliff hangs upside down, the volley is about to fly, if the form is depicted with specific adjectives, it can be said that there is a shrinking dragon into inches, there is a goshawk to eat, there is a horse galloping, there is a graceful beauty, there is a heroic and majestic poetry and painting......
However, to everyone's surprise, a bright ball of light appeared above the altar, and the four rays of light illuminated the surroundings of the East Bridge as if it were day.
As for why the ball of light appeared in the air, Sun Wen couldn't figure out the principle for a while, but his scientific worldview told him that the Divine Tree Sect was pretending to be a ghost. But when I stepped forward to debunk it, I was afraid of revealing my identity.
Therefore, Sun Wen's face was a little tangled, and he looked at the people around him in a daze, showing a look of worship, and whispered the words of prayer. After half a ring, Sun Wen sighed helplessly and watched the changes.
At this time.
On the opposite side of Sun Wen, Nalan Yuanshu rode a horse, and when he was three zhang away from the altar, he tightened the reins of the horse and stopped the horse's steps, and looked towards the light source, only to see a person sitting cross-legged above the altar, he was closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Brother Shen?"
Nalan Yuanshu handed the reins to an officer and soldier and walked away quickly.
"Brother Shen, you are setting up an altar and casting spells."
A familiar and hearty laugh came from below, Shen Zhu's eyelids opened, and he saw that the sound of people had not arrived, and the disciples of the Divine Tree Sect separated a passage, and suddenly the figure of Nalan Yuanshu appeared, he came from a distance with a heroic expression, and soon, he passed through the flow of people and came to the bottom of the altar.
"Brother Nalan, revolutionary rebels, have you dealt with it?" Shen Zhu didn't get up, and said with a smile on his face.
"I'm very ashamed, let Brother Shen smile, there are still two fish left that have slipped through the net, and they are missing." Nalan Yuanshu bowed and said.
"But Shen is not very anxious when he sees Brother Nalan's face, presumably Brother Nalan has won the battle, and the fish that slips through the net will not be able to escape your Five Finger Mountain." Shen Zhu said with a smile on his face.
"This official knows that everything can't escape Brother Shen's eyes." Nalan Yuanshu's face smiled in response, and then his face suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "Brother Shen, I suspect that they are hiding here, so please forgive me for being offended!" “
Hearing this, Shen Zhu's face remained unchanged, and he replied casually: "Brother Nalan, please." “
