Fortunately, these pistols were not good, and the Qing army was also difficult to march at night.

The two sides remained at a stalemate until dawn.

Shuangxi took the binoculars and looked at them, and there were shadows in the distance, and they were retreating.

Wang Long wondered: "Why did they withdraw?" ”

Shuangxi put down the binoculars: "The purpose of the Qing court is to recapture Zhennanguan, and then chase me into the swallow mountain that crossed the border, they are afraid that provoking France will not outweigh the losses." ”

At this time, Vietnam was the territory of the French.

Zhennanguan is actually on the border line, and after running for a little half of the night, the east has seen the fish belly white, and they are already in the swallow mountain.

Because the Qing army no longer pursued, everyone slowed down.

Suddenly, the grass in front of me rattled, and several people with gray faces came out.

At this time, it was the most difficult time for people, and Wang Long, who was opening the road in front, took a nap and was taken aback: "Who?" ”

The person in front said: "Don't shoot, we are mountain people." ”

Shuangxi stepped forward to negotiate, these people were actually local people who later joined the rebel army, and ran away with Huang Mingtang, but they didn't run far, they couldn't give up their families, and they automatically "fell behind" halfway.

Shuangxi frowned: "You want to go back?" ”

"Yes, there are still children in the family, and I can't go to Vietnam."

"But have you ever thought that if you go back, you will be retaliated by the Qing army?"

"That can't be, the law doesn't blame the public, and I'm not the only one who helps the rebels......" This person has a fluke mentality.

Double Happiness knows that persuasion cannot be persuaded.

He said to the squad of pistmen, "Go ahead and join Governor Huang." ”

Along the way, it was Shuangxi who took the idea, Wang Long was the pioneer, the two were highly skilled, and everyone was convinced of them, and even became dependent.

Someone said: "Brother Shuangxi, come with us, if you go to Vietnam, you will definitely be reused by Mr. Sun." ”

Shuangxi waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go back with them to have a look, I'm afraid that the Qing army will settle the accounts, and these brothers and their families will suffer." ”

Wang Long rolled his eyes: This is really a father and a mother.

And in the Qing army, Chen Bingkun and Zeng Shaohui had such a conversation.

Chen Bingkun said: "Among the anti-thieves, the broken team is an elite man, and the number will not exceed twenty, but it easily ambushed and killed our team of thirty people. ”

Zeng Shaohui stomped his feet: "Damn, there are mountain combat masters among the thieves, and they even dare to ambush on the roadside again and again along the way, and they can't even catch a shadow." ”

It's Wang Long.

When he fled, Wang Long single-handedly ambushed on the side of the road, greeting with shotguns at every turn, and a large area of Qing troops was injured as soon as he was wounded, and he ran away after the fight.

Chasing here, Wang Long was as flexible as an ape in the mountains, and he disappeared after tossing and turning.

After a while, he appeared in front again, and he was a master of art and bold.

The forest is deep and the leaves are dense and the sky is dark, and the Qing army is really invincible.

The night of attack and harassment made the Qing army exhausted.

Zeng Shaohui said: "If you don't catch the thief, how can you explain it to the court?" ”

Chen Bingkun stroked his beard and said: "It's okay, among the anti-thieves, many of them are local people, and the monks can't run away from the temple!" ”

Zeng Shaohui sneered.

……

The next day, Zhao Chuanxin went to see the injured white horse first.

"Sigh the law ......"

Zhao Chuanxin pinched the horse's ears, and the white horse called out dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, another year and a half will be fine."

The blowing water horse said: "Master, this kind of injury, both people and horses will fall into the root of the disease, in my opinion, this horse is useless." ”

Zhao Chuanxin took a comb, pushed it back along the horse's neck, and said, "Take care of it, it may not be able to travel long distances, but you can keep the seeds and get off the foal." It's a good horse. ”

The Portuguese horse is also a famous horse.

Handing the comb to the blowing water horse, Zhao Chuanxin said: "In the next few days, I may have to leave Aodao, take care of this horse, and when the injury is stable, find a ship to transport it to Tianjin Wei and send it to Lugang Town." ”

Lugang Town is about to become a famous horse base.

As he spoke, Zhao Chuanxin put his hands behind his back and Shi Shiran left.

Today, the group of snot babies went crazy somewhere, and it was very quiet on Jiu'ao Mountain.

Zhao Chuanxin went down the mountain, walked along the path, and walked towards the little old man's house.

Sure enough, in just a few days, the peak of the speed at which the power of faith converged had passed, and the speed had slowed down.

People in the world are not like this, they only burn incense when they have something, they temporarily hold Buddha's feet, and they don't necessarily read it all the time.

Zhao Chuanxin was thinking crankily as he walked.

Passing by, I saw a group of slug babies gathered under the tree, holding the snacks saved yesterday, and coaxing a group of black vertebrates on the tree to come down and play.

Xian Yu said crisply: "You will scare them like this, stay away, let me come." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin shook his head with a smile, and left quietly to let them play.

When I came to the little old man's house, the shark skin water was ready.

Zhao Chuanxin tried it and it fits perfectly.

The main reason he wanted this thing was to keep warm underwater.

Bidding farewell to the little old man, Zhao Chuanxin went all the way north and hurried alone.

Open the road in the mountains, and you don't need to build a bridge when you encounter water, and you can wade directly through the water.

A remnant sun spreads in the water, half of the river is sorrowful and half of the river is red.

Ashore.

Walk through the 5th Street of October, pass by Tongfutang Pharmacy, pass by tea shops, and finally come to a roast meat shop to rest.

After entering, a little Portuguese girl looked up with a spoon in her hand and asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Sir, why is your hair different from theirs?" ”

There was a Portuguese couple sitting next to the little girl, first wiping the oil stains on the corners of her mouth, and then looking at Zhao Chuanxin arrogantly.

Zhao Chuanxin's hair is already very long, and his beard is thick.

Looks a bit like ...... Vagabond.

Fortunately, he was neatly dressed and clean, otherwise he would not have been intercepted.

This thick black hair is obviously different from the yin and yang heads of the people of the Qing Dynasty.

He winked at the little girl: "The whole world is cheap, I am only noble, just like your father, I am nobler than them, so my hair is like this." ”

The little girl was ignorant, and her big eyes blinked: "Oh......"

Her parents were furious: "Don't listen to his nonsense, we are noble." ”

The little girl was a little confused, looked at Zhao Chuanxin, and looked at her parents: "Who is right?" ”

A paper pig appeared in Zhao Chuanxin's palm: "Let's ask the gods, gods, gods, do you think they are noble?" ”

To the shock of the Portuguese couple, the paper pig shook its head.

Zhao Chuanxin: "God, god, do you think I am noble?" ”

Paper Pig nodded.

Zhao Chuanxin said to the little girl: "The gods are fair. ”

A good view of right and wrong and values must be established from an early age.

Today's scene left a deep impression on the little girl's heart.

"It's all a trick, Sophia, don't believe it."

"But this gentleman is really communicating with the gods."

“……”

Zhao Chuanxin ignored them and asked for a three-color meal.

In fact, it is composed of three dark to light char siu and rice.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't expect that there would be a rice bowl at this time, which can be regarded as the beginning of a combination of Chinese and Western catering.

He tasted it, it was sweet and greasy, and the barbecued pork juice on top was very rich.

Obviously, this kind of food is in line with the eating habits of Westerners.

The wind and clouds are whirling, and a bowl of rice is down, only five points full.

The little girl sat at the other table, and was stunned.

Growing so big, the first time I saw someone eating like this, I felt like I had a stomach without chewing.

Zhao came in after passing the salary, but he finished eating in advance and gave a tip when he checked out.

Just as he walked to the little girl's table, the Portuguese man suddenly got up: "Wait, we need your apology." ”

"What apologies?"

The man was speechless.

He can't say that foreigners are noble.

After thinking about it, he teased and said: "Emphasizing that you are nobler than others, isn't this a kind of inferiority? ”

Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette after dinner, and said lightly: "Oh, I'm happy to have low self-esteem, it's okay, right?" ”

The Portuguese man rolled his eyes in choke.

I've never seen such a shameless person.

Zhao Chuanxin winked at the little girl, turned around and left.

When night falls, the peninsula is lit up.

Zhao Chuanxin walked along the coast of the inner harbor, the evening breeze was blowing, and this walk, he walked to the Kaotang Fort and saw the Ruins of St. Paul's.

It is said that it was originally a church, but after many natural disasters, the church was destroyed, and only this magnificent looking gate remains.

Zhao Chuanxin saw many Portuguese people walking here after dinner, and they brought their families with them, so it was very comfortable.

Touching the granite full of traces of time, Zhao Chuanxin jumped up, jumped on the baroque pattern of the stone pillar, and jumped again with the help of his strength, floating to the arched door.

He looked up to see a large battery on a hillside nearby, and two Portuguese warships quietly anchored in the sea.

The fort and the battleship echoed each other from afar, and they were impregnable.

Zhao Chuanxin sat on the arched door and smoked, his two long legs dangling, the scarlet cigarette butts flickering in the dark night.

Below, a Portuguese man looked up and shouted, "Sir, please come down at once." ”

Zhao Chuanxin just looked at the fort and was distracted, as if he hadn't heard it.

The noisy voices of the people below attracted many melon-eating people who came to see the excitement.

People are like this, if you don't believe it, go to the street, look up and stare at the sky, and within half an hour, there must be a bunch of people looking up.

When it was darker, Zhao Chuanxin provoked the Portuguese soldiers to maintain law and order.

They were all shouting below, telling Zhao Chuanxin to go down.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin did not react, someone went around to the back, climbed from the broken wall, and prepared to go up to subdue Zhao Chuanxin.

Finally, someone climbed to the arched door and walked towards Zhao Chuanxin menacingly: "Look how I clean up your ......"

As he spoke, his hand was about to be placed on Zhao Chuanxin's shoulder.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin whistled.

The whistle of the devil's vine is really not similar to the hanging comedy "The riddle" in the later world, it is exactly the same.

In such a night, such a tune, the Portuguese soldier only felt that his arm was entangled in something, and then he let out an "ah" and his body involuntarily threw himself forward.

Zhao Chuanxin, who was sitting, gave way slightly, and he planted his head down.

Some of the people below were carrying wind lanterns, and some were holding torches, and they all exclaimed in surprise when they saw this scene.

However, the Portuguese soldier was only hung in the air and did not fall.

The people below could touch the feet of the Portuguese soldiers if they jumped.

The people below were furious: "Let the people go!" ”

Zhao Chuanxin still didn't speak.

The hanging Portuguese soldier could not get up or down, and his arm was stretched extremely uncomfortably.

He cried out, "Deliver me, for God's sake, and let me go down." ”

The people below began to jump, but every time they jumped, Zhao Chuanxin's whistle would become excited, and then the Portuguese soldiers would be pulled up a bit.

In any case, the people below just can't reach it.

When the people below were jumping out of breath and sweating, Zhao Chuanxin stopped whistling, raised his wrist to look at the time, and after he whistled, the Portuguese soldier fell and fell enough to eat.

He shouted from above: "Are there any people below who can speak Chinese?" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Chuanxin: "If I say a word, you will give a word to the translator present." ”

"Today, everything I do is under the instruction of Lafayette of the Qing Dynasty, yes, it is Cixi."

"Because you Portuguese threaten to shell the coastal areas, your warships will be sunk."

"Your fort is too bluffing, and it's scary to look at, so Cixi asked me to tear down the fort."

"Cixi gave me a sum of money, not much, only twenty thousand francs, which is my reward."

"There is a debtor and a debtor, and you will count this account on Cixi's head."

"Do you understand?"

The brains of those who know Chinese below are buzzing.

Someone asked in broken Chinese, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

"Zhao Chuanxin!"

Make it up
