……
Ren Qi watched on the side, wondering why Yin Xiu confessed that he wanted to kill the vampire with his own hands. However, after doing so, although Yin Xiu did not move, Ren Qi also faintly felt some changes.
"You laughed." Yin Xiu said suddenly.
"No."
Ren Qi shook his head, "Why am I laughing?"
"I don't know, but you really smiled just now."
"Are you crazy?"
Ren Qi snorted coldly: "Why am I laughing when I have nothing to do? I'm not a joker in a restaurant."
"But you did smile just now."
Ren Qi was too lazy to pay attention to him, and just turned around to cut off the heads of the corpses.
"No need." Yin Xiu stopped him.
"Then let others take care of it." Ren Qi simply stood up.
"I mean, we don't have to deal with these advance teams and scouts anymore."
Yin Xiu scratched his head and smiled: "These are just small fish and shrimps after all. If the two of us came to kill these people, wouldn't it be that the good steel was used in the wrong place? Even if we were not injured, running around would be exhausting for us." ”
Ren Qi agreed: "You are right. I have never heard that Guan Erye would chase the horse archer and kill him."
"Moreover, if we killed so many people early, wouldn't it be more troublesome if the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces noticed something was wrong?"
At this time, Yin Xiu had passed [Bloody Memories] and knew that the commander of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces was Lieutenant General Jackson, a cowboy from North America.
We also know that the combined forces of the Eight-Nation Alliance have a total of 45,000 people, which can be called a mighty force.
"I don't want them to be on guard early, but I want them to be as relaxed and carefree as possible. It would be better if they just regard this as a trip, an outing."
"Although foreigners don't read Sun Wu's Art of War, they are not fools." Ren Qi reminded.
Yin Xiu nodded and reassured him, "I know that whoever treats foreigners as idiots is the number one idiot in the world, a fool."
"If you can think like this, it puts my mind at ease."
"When did I make people feel at ease?"
Yin Xiu glanced at him and said, "It's you who often do some weird things, Brother Gaoshou."
"Weird?"
Ren Qi asked: "Which one?"
"A lot."
Yin Xiu spread his hands, "For example, you went to fight with Xiandu without even saying hello. Do you know the power of Xiandu and you dare to fight alone?"
"How good are you?"
Ren Qi sneered, "I heard from Liu Banxian that he was originally going to attack the Emperor Zhongluo, but you knocked him out from behind and went in his place."
"..."
Yin Xiu frowned, "Did he really say that?"
"Exactly, I can go into more detail if you need."
"No need."
Yin Xiu waved her hand, "He said yes, that's right, it doesn't matter, it's all the same."
The two of them got on their horses and left the woods, heading back towards Jinmen City.
When they arrived at the city gate, Chen Tianyou was standing there, seemingly waiting for him to come back.
As soon as Yin Xiu approached, he and several others immediately saluted Yin Xiu, "Master, you have worked hard."
Yin Xiu waved his hand, indicating that they would not be polite.
"What's wrong?"
At this time, Yin Xiu also noticed that Nie Huo was standing next to him.
Chen Tianyou whispered: "Tell the leader that we have shipped a batch of guns, and we also ask the leader to go over and review them."
Yin Xiu didn't think it was a big deal. Since Chen Tianyou asked him to go over and take a look, he would just take a look.
So when following Chen Tianyou to a house in the city, Yin Xiu asked again casually.
"Is it ash or nanmu?"
Chen Tianyou thought for a moment and said seriously: "It's maple."
"Maple?"
Yin Xiu turned her head and looked at Ren Qi.
Ren Qi was also a little surprised, shaking his head and saying that he had never heard that maple wood could also be used to make spears.
The two of them were puzzled for a moment until Chen Tianyou led them into a room full of boxes and his men pried open a wooden box.
"Gun?" Yin Xiu was a little surprised.
"That's right, a gun."
Chen Tianyou opened the oil paper in the box, took out a latest musket, and handed it to Yin Xiu for viewing.
Yin Xiu took it and looked at Ren Qi again, "Gun?"
"Yes, it's a gun."
Ren Qi nodded awkwardly, and then asked the question on Yin Xiu's behalf.
"I thought what you were talking about was something like a big red tassel gun, but I didn't expect it to be this."
Chen Tianyou was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Even Nie Huo on one side showed two rows of white teeth.
Nie Huo explained: "Although our White Lotus Sect does not use guns, it does not mean that others are not allowed to use them."
Chen Tianyou also smiled and said: "This is also the teaching of our leader."
"Your teachings?"
Ren Qi looked at Yin Xiu. Yin Xiu didn't want to show timidity in front of everyone, so he said in a very "calm" manner: "Yes, we are advancing with the times. As long as there is something that is suitable for us and does not hinder justice and morality, there is no need to abandon it." If you don't use it, you will treat it like a scourge.
Just like it is not the sword that is guilty, but the person who uses it. However, it is not that the person who uses the sword is condemned to commit great crimes. There are also people who use weapons to punish evil and eliminate evil and uphold justice in the world, right?
Therefore, the important thing is people, not tools. If you want to do great things and do good things, you must first abandon these prejudices, so that you can be free and transcendent. ”
Not to mention Chen Tianyou and other members of the Kyushu Society, their eyes lit up and they admired Yin Xiu's words sincerely. Even Nie Huo, an "old antique", also got some enlightenment and thought secretly.
"But where did you get these guns?"
Yin Xiu rubbed the gun in his hand and felt that both the material and the precision of the mold were much better than those held by the officers and soldiers. It gave people the feeling of a sophisticated industrial product.
"Speaking of it, this is a coincidence."
Chen Tianyou still finds it very interesting, "These guns originally appeared in southern Xinjiang and were brought in by people from China."
He lowered his voice, "It is said that it was originally used by the Miao people to rebel, and the court was also on guard against them. However, for some reason, the Miao people suddenly stopped rebelling.
The people from the country who brought the guns in worked hard to bring such a batch of guns, but they could not take them back, and they were afraid of trouble from the government when they were stored there. Even if they had consular protection, this issue would inevitably cause diplomatic disputes.
So the Nafa people spread the news and looked for buyers everywhere. It happened that there was a brother in our club who was a wealthy businessman. He knew a second-hand dealer who was in contact with the Nafa people, so he bought the guns through him in a secret way. It was brought down and transported to Cangzhou.
This time things happened suddenly, so I quickly asked the brothers in the meeting to bring these guns over and provide fire support, and finally we were able to use these guns. ”
After Yin Xiu heard him tell the whole story, he suddenly realized that these guns should be shipped to the Mingyue God Sect.
However, Ye Tianwen abided by his agreement and did not rebel, so these guns were rejected and became a hot potato in the hands of businessmen.
"Where's the cannon?"
"What kind of gun?" Now it was Chen Tianyou's turn to be confused.
"Well, it's nothing."
Yin Xiu rubbed his face, probably because the artillery that was originally going to be handed over to the Mingyue God Sect was a bigger problem, so it had been dismantled and discarded by the merchants, and it was not allowed to flow into the people.
After all, buying a gun can also be said to be a self-defense tool for protecting your home and home when traveling.
Buying guns will remind people of dangerous and treacherous things.
It would be nice if there were those cannons.
Even though he thought so, there was nothing, so Yin Xiu asked again: "How many guns do we have in total?"
Chen Tianyou patted the box and said proudly: "There are two thousand guns here, plus some guys outside, we should have four thousand guns, enough to give those foreign devils a drink."
Ren Qi said coldly: "The foreigners have 40,000 guns."
"Ren..."
Nie Huo paused and said, "Brother Ren, no matter how many guns the foreigners have, it doesn't necessarily mean they can kill us all."
"I know."
Ren Qi looked at him, "I didn't say that because they have guns, we can't win, Nie, Nie..."
After all, Ren Qi didn't say anything and turned around to leave.
After communicating with a few more people, Yin Xiu also went out to find Ma Xiaoyu and Liu Banxian.
At this time, the two of them were in the city, with a group of craftsmen and laborers, building barricades in a specific way.
"I use the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation."
Liu Banxian adjusted his sunglasses, "Although things like Feng Shui can't play a big role in war, even Zhuge Kongming, a man with supernatural powers, just set up a formation to fool Sima Yi's 100,000-strong army, and finally called He ran away.
However, sometimes Feng Shui is just to make people's lives comfortable and safe, just like when we set up this formation, it is impossible to expect to use Feng Shui to kill foreigners.
However, we can make those barricades appear to be vaguely connected to each other, and they can support each other without being implicated by each other. It is as if one place is broken and another place is repaired, and foreigners will not attack them no matter what. Comfortable and straightforward for long journeys. ”
Yin Xiu nodded while listening, and then took the compass from Ma Xiaoyu's hand to check.
"Do you understand?" Ma Xiaoyu glanced at him.
They didn't have much chance to see each other these two days.
One of them got up before dawn to survey the city with Liu Banxian and arrange formations.
The other is that meetings often end just after dawn, and they don’t even have time to take off their boots and are disturbed by other matters, leaving them unable to do anything.
Yin Xiu took the compass, secretly touched Ma Xiaoyu's fingers, and then smiled and said: "I am also a Taoist priest after all. Uncle Ming said that it is not difficult to read this thing. No matter how stupid you are, you can master it in a few months."
"Of course it's not difficult."
Liu Banxian nodded and said: "When I first started, I couldn't even understand the directions above. When I get to someone else's ancestral grave, I take out the compass. As long as the pointer on it doesn't move around, then nothing is wrong and the Yin Mansion is safe."
"What if it whirls like a windmill?"
"Then I have to say goodbye and leave."
Liu Banxian grinned and said: "So it is very difficult to work outside, no matter what line of work you are in. Without a smart mind, you don't even know how to die."
Yin Xiu had no time to talk nonsense with him, so he just asked him: "How is the construction of the barricade now? How far is it left?"
"Almost."
Liu Banxian gave instructions on the drawing: "About a quarter of the project has not been completed yet. We have almost demolished all the houses that can be demolished. Just follow what you said and don't let those houses collapse." Just fine.”
"Speed it up."
Yin Xiu was still a little worried, "In my estimation, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces will start taking action in the next two days."
"So fast?"
Ma Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said, "I thought they would need to prepare for at least a few days."
"It's too late. Although it may not happen, they will also worry about someone appearing behind them. After all, they are going in alone.
What is important is to catch the court off guard and make a quick decision to avoid getting yourself into a quagmire. ”
Ma Xiaoyu listened with a smile in Shui Lingling's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
She smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be a good fighter, but now you can even speak eloquently about marching and fighting."
"Is it difficult for me?"
Yin Xiu smiled and suddenly said: "Actually, I still have a lot of good things. Can you tell me?"
Ma Xiaoyu realized it later, until Liu Banxian reminded: "If you two have important things, just go ahead and talk. It won't matter how long you talk. You are young and have good physical strength. Unlike me, uncle, who can't breathe even after walking a few steps."
"Well, then I'll listen for a while."
Ma Xiaoyu's face turned a little red.
"Go, go, leave the rest to me."
Liu Banxian took off his sunglasses and winked at Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu showed a knowing smile and turned into the corner side by side with Ma Xiaoyu.
"Master, do you want to send a few people to follow and protect the leader?" Qin Lang, who had been guarding Liu Banxian, asked.
Liu Banxian glared at him, "You also want to have your sex bags burned after you die?"
"My subordinates don't understand."
"It's okay if you don't understand. If you understand it, then what's the point?"
Liu Banxian urged his companions to go to the next street. (End of chapter)
