Chapter 1008: Refusal (1)

"Special! Finally got in touch~"

Watching the cross put down the headset, it means that this contact with the Xuange Battalion fleet is officially over.

Suddenly, in Hu Biao's mouth, after taking a long breath, he said the above sentence; In the tone, it was called indescribably relaxed, as if the burden of a thousand pounds was lifted from his shoulders.

You know, everything is very bad today.

Although thanks to the fact that from the morning, most of the members of the team have teamed up in twos and threes, and they have been out and about the city constantly.

At the end of the day, in some remote places, I really rescued many Chinese compatriots who were chased and beaten by the natives.

In their minds, the blood-red number has only reached 21 so far.

By the way, this small hotel that also made Fubo is now crowded in with more than 300 people, so that there is almost no place to settle inside.

But how can I say that? They still felt the atmosphere in Surabaya City, and they became more and more nervous.

Especially after the afternoon, such a feeling became more and more intense, and they even had a reason for it, but it was extremely certain that they had no reason:

You don't have to wait too long, and tomorrow a storm like this, which has been brewing for a while, will completely erupt.

This is also the biggest reason why they asked the Xuange Battalion fleet in the telegram to rush outside Surabaya City at noon tomorrow at all costs.

The next second, I glanced at the sky and found that it had completely darkened.

Hu Biao immediately reacted, according to the original plan of action, it is now the Li family in the west of the city, the manor where these Chinese wealthy families are located.

It's time to meet with that old man Li and talk about cooperation.

Let's be honest! After learning about the situation that can be said to be quite bad at the moment.

For the Xuange Battalion fleet, can it arrive in time at noon tomorrow; Even after arriving, there was a series of questions about whether they could break through the barrier of the shore defense artillery of the Dutch fleet and provide fire support to the shore.

Hu Biao actually has no confidence at all in their hearts.

After all, behind the fleet, there are two more powerful and advanced cruisers in Zhiyuan and Laiyuan, which have been in pursuit.

If the fleet is in a big battle with the Dutch fleet.

The two ships suddenly rushed up, and after a flank attack, the fleet was in danger of being destroyed.

Therefore, tonight we must reach a consensus with the Li family and other wealthy families, plan some security zones overnight, and form some defensive forces; in order to ensure that there are more possibilities tomorrow to survive a crisis that has just been raised.

After officially setting off and heading to the Li family manor in the west of the city, after thinking of some possibilities.

Hu Biao looked at Yang Dongli and said, "Old Yang, the affairs of the fleet are more troublesome, so you don't have to go to see Old Man Li tonight."

You now take a couple of people and radios and go to sea to join the fleet.

At that time, no matter what happens, it will be dealt with on the spot; Anyway, the lives of those of us, and even the lives of the Chinese in the city, probably depend on your performance. ”

After hearing such a statement, Yang Dongli suddenly had a strong urge to scold the street in his heart.

The main reason is that the survival of so many people in the team, as well as the pressure on the lives of at least hundreds of thousands of Chinese compatriots, made him feel almost a little out of breath after being pressed down all at once.

The problem is that such a thing, although it is troublesome to death, really needs someone to do it.

In the entire team, he is the most suitable candidate.

Immediately, Yang Dongli suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and shouted by name: "Fenghua will bring the radio, Xu Feng, God of Wealth, Team Zheng, you guys will also go with me~"

Hearing this, the above four people hurriedly packed up their equipment.

Three minutes later, Yang Dongli and a group of five people secretly left the hotel and groped towards the port; Prepare to build a small boat and rendezvous with the fleet as soon as possible after going to sea.

When these people had just left the hotel with their front feet, Hu Biao looked at the people around him and began to name them:

"AT, Guifei, Singer, Yu Hanfeng, Lao Hei, a few of you follow me to Li's house.

Wolf Qing, continue to call Modu and Liaodong and other places, I want to know how the situation is over there; Cross, you keep in touch with the fleet and keep up to date with what's going on there.

The rest were on standby at the hotel, taking care of the defense.

Now there are people of all ages here, but there are hundreds of people living here, and if there are natives sneaking in, it will be a big incident. ”

Under some arrangement, everyone received the order.

After another two or three minutes, Hu Biao and a group of six people also left the door of the hotel under the cover of night......

After nightfall, the atmosphere on the streets of Surabaya City has become even more terrifying.

Those who were originally few in number during the daytime were fewer at night; Therefore, there is no Chinese walking on the streets at all.

Only the natives who were shirtless, carrying baleng knives and chewing raw betel nuts were still gathered in large piles in the corners.

When I saw Hu Biao and others in a hurry, they didn't rush up to do it.

However, in their cold eyes, there was a hint of looking at the prey, but it made Hu Biao a little more firm:

Special! Tomorrow there will be an accident, but it will be sooner or later.

In addition, halfway through, they encountered a nonsense incident.

At that time, the group of them hurriedly set off from the hotel, and when they walked out for about 20 minutes, they coincidentally passed by a courtyard opened by an island countryman.

This kind of place is not unusual in the whole South Seas region at all.

Thirty years ago, the island nation was opened by Uncle Sam's fleet, and after seeing its own backwardness, it finally began to innovate.

Because the original family background was not very thick, and all kinds of machines, equipment, and technologies were bought, the island country could be said to be poor for a long time.

In order to earn foreign exchange, a large number of women from island countries have either been trafficked or voluntarily come to Nanyang to work as abalone merchants.

It has always been known for its cheapness, and it is very popular with sailors and natives from all over the world.

It can be said that in the war of the First Sino-Japanese War in the island country, all kinds of warships, cannons, guns and bullets, part of which was the flesh and skin money from these women.

Then, relying on such an all-encompassing way of change, the island country actually succeeded in overthrowing Daqing.

This one is a behemoth that is too much stronger than them in many aspects of comprehensive national strength, such as manpower, land, resources, and finance.

Special! I don't know if it's to say that these devils are crazy enough, or if Daqing is too wasteful.

If so, there is nothing, and the women of the island country are willing to sell, and they will sell it.

Unless Hu Biao is crazy, they will be interested in this young man who is short and thin, has a pair of ugly figure-eight legs, and paints his face as white as a ghost with rice flour.

It's just passing by the door, and there will be no intersection between the two sides at all.

What they didn't expect was that they didn't want to cause trouble, but the other party came to them.

When it was still seven or eight meters away from the gate of that island country.

At the door, two island ronins wearing clogs and carrying a katana at their waists, one of them was in his mouth, shouting in awkward Chinese:

"Get out, we don't accept any young people here~"

While speaking, one hand was still on the handle of the knife, and he had the posture of pulling out the knife and slashing people if he didn't agree with him.

The island country's JAT does not accept Chinese? Before Daqing was defeated by them, these grandsons were usually very respectful when they met.

It's nothing more than these two grandsons, who have drifted a little in the face of the fact that the Chinese are obviously going to be in trouble in recent days.

It was precisely because of this thought that even AT, a little brother who is known for his good temper in such a team, was almost angry at that time.

Yu Hanfeng, the singer, the concubine, Lao Hei and the other four people twisted their brains, and they were about to do something to these goods.

Fortunately, Hu Biao, the commander who died on the street, still kept enough calm.

Seeing this, he hurriedly whispered out of his mouth: "It's a big deal, these grandsons will have time to clean them up after the crisis is over." ”

was shouted by Hu Biao, and the other five stopped doing it stupidly, continued to follow Hu Biao forward, and soon left here.

It's just that the two ronins guarding the door, looking at the few disappeared backs, there is no happiness on their faces.

Must say, why do they say this?

That's because from before these young people left, they all played a look of 'you are dead, and the gods of the heavenly cover can't save you'.

It's just that this kind of look is not just ordinary people talking cruel words.

But it made them instinctively feel some amazing threats......

******

At about half past eight in the evening, Hu Biao and the others finally came to the Li family in Java, outside the manor with a very scary scale.

Even with everyone's knowledge, I have seen too many prosperous places.

After seeing the Li family's manor, he couldn't help muttering a sentence in his mouth, 'Good guy~'

After picking up the binoculars, I saw that next to a beautiful white sand beach, a manor with a very large area was built; Because I heard that Mr. Li is old-fashioned, the architectural style of the manor is naturally a traditional Chinese style as a whole.

But after all, it is in the Nanyang region and has been influenced by a lot of Western influences.

So in the Chinese style, a number of Western styles were added, which were quite cleverly integrated.

In this way, Hu Biao can see that in the Chinese-style pavilions and man-made garden landscapes, there are Western-style grasses, flower beds, and paths.

Western-style decorations such as shutters and water towers, which are also visible,

and a lot of cast-iron street lamps, which have now been lit; The manor is dotted with sporadic lights, and the view from a distance is quite nice.

If you want to say that it is compared to the Li family's manor, the Old Summer Palace and the imperial palace that Hu Biao and they have seen, it is not as good as it.

But compared to the mansions of some royal relatives and nobles, it is a little more than that.

Don't forget, although the Javanese Li family is very famous in Java and the South Seas, they are considered to be the best among millions of Chinese Americans; In essence, they are just some local tyrants in the South Seas.

To have such a scene at present is already to show what the Javanese Li family is, and they are really a super dog.

Because of this door-to-door cooperation, if the identity of Xuan Geying is not revealed, I am afraid that even Old Man Li will not be able to see such a point.

and the identity of their Xuange camp, which will be exposed tomorrow once they do it.

So Hu Biao and the others have no intention of sneaking in at the moment.

With the intention of musting pick up a handful of wool from the big dog family of the Li family in Java; They approached the gate with some of the guards on the tall wall, very wary eyes.

Finally, after standing still ten steps away from the gate.

Hu Biao breathed a sigh of relief in his chest and abdomen, and he didn't know how to shout hard in his mouth, but his voice spread throughout the Li family's manor in a very short period of time.

Enough for everyone in the manor to be able to hear their voices:

"Hu Ertong, the contemporary master of the Xuange camp, brought several disciples from the sect to ask to see the old man Li of the Java Bamboo Net Dragon Hall; Let's discuss how to solve the great difficulties faced by these hundreds of thousands of Chinese compatriots in Surabaya City in recent days? ”

After saying that, he just put his hands behind him and stood up, assumed a posture of a worldly master, let the sea breeze blow the clothes on his body, and waited for the Li family to open the door......

The wait of a group of six people was surprisingly long.

At least half an hour later, the heavy gate of the Li Family Manor slowly opened from the inside.

A middle-aged man who looked to be forty-two or thirteen years old and had quite good maintenance, after opening the door, first looked at Hu Biao and the others for about ten seconds with quite complicated eyes.

With a posture of wanting to talk about it, he opened his mouth and said:

"Under Li Renyong, he is the eldest son of the Li family, and his father is waiting for the arrival of all the heroes of the Xuange camp in the Dragon Hall~"

Looking at this person's reaction, Hu Biao and the others chuckled inexplicably, vaguely knowing that the situation of tonight's meeting might be a little bad.

It's just about the success or failure of the side quest, as well as the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Chinese compatriots.

Hu Biao was still quiet, and took the lead and strode towards the manor.

Li Renyong followed with more than 20 men who looked good at a glance, and he didn't know whether it was a guard or a sense of surveillance.

However, from them, there is no posture of carrying firearms at all, so they should be regarded as guards.

After walking in the Li family's manor, they can find that the scenery here is becoming more and more exciting, but Hu Biao and they no longer have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Circling around, Hu Biao and the others were led into a huge hall and met the head of the Li family in Java; That one is said to be able to make the entire Nanyang economy with a trembling old man Li as long as he stamps his feet.

It was also at this time that Hu Biao and the others knew why some emotions of 'the situation of tonight's meeting might be a little bad' rose in their hearts.

Because on this old man who seems to have difficulty walking, he is wearing a full set of outfits of a Daqing second-class officer.

The complement with a brocade rooster pattern on his chest and the official hat with a red crown on his head fell into the eyes of Hu Biao and others, which was extremely dazzling.

Old Man Li's official body and fame were naturally bought at the Daqing Imperial Court.

In fact, buying an official body is not uncommon in Daqing and Nanyang at all.

On the one hand, for the Daqing Imperial Court, there has always been a glorious tradition of solving financial difficulties by selling officials; Especially in the late Qing Dynasty, it was even more crazy.

As long as the silver is enough, the officials who are really in need can buy it.

On the other hand, wealthy Chinese people in the Nanyang area are also accustomed to buying an official position.

When you are alive, doing business, and dealing with officials, you can also have a decent identity; When you die, you can also have a higher standard for doing things after you.

And Mr. Li's second-grade red top is also the highest level that can be bought.

Not to mention the need to spend a large sum of silver, the key is that this old man just put on an official uniform, which means that there is nothing to talk about with them, the court traitors.

Special! If it weren't for the life and death of hundreds of thousands of compatriots, just the posture of this old thing, everyone would have turned around and left.

forcibly endured the irritable emotions in his heart, Hu Biao first signaled with his eyes that everyone was less safe and restless; It was with both hands clenched into fists that he said:

"Hu Ertong, the 52nd generation master of the Xuange Battalion, has seen the old man Li of the Bamboo Net Longtang."

In the face of Hu Biao's fist salute, Old Man Li, who had been sitting upright, didn't even make a little extra move.

just said: "The name of the Xuange camp, Li is naturally like thunder.

But if Li is not mistaken, since the eleventh year of Xianfeng, there have been fifty or sixty people in Nanyang alone, claiming to be from the Xuange camp.

In order to drive out the Tartars, raise money from everyone.

But in the end, it turned out that they were just some charlatans who cheated money; So let Li and Meng Lang, how do you prove your identity in the Xuange camp. ”

Hearing this, Hu Biao's face looked a lot better.

blamed the other party's previous cold reactions on thinking he was a liar.

As for how to prove their identity? That's not simple; Hu Biao slapped his backhand on a thick nanmu pillar beside him.

Even if this palm is not used, the strongest move "Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending" is not used.

But because of the aggrieved emotions in his heart, Hu Biao didn't keep his hand much.

benefited from the cultivation of the "Jade Maiden's Heart Sutra" that had basically not been left behind as long as he was with the concubine; and when he was alone, the cultivation of "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong" was also quite hard.

A palm that almost had Hu Biaojiu's success, after hitting the Nanmu pillar that only one person could hold.

Not only did the pillar shake a little, and a burst of dust fell on the top of the head, but it also left a clear handprint on the pillar with a bright red lacquer finish.

Such a powerful scene, it can be said that except for the legendary Xuange Battalion, no one can have such a means......
