Chapter 359

The weapon used by General Chen’s lineage was ambushed in the inn railings on both sides of the avenue and behind the woods. The weapon he used was actually a firearm, called a rocket. To be precise, it was called a single-stage rocket.

A single-stage rocket is made of a four or five-foot bamboo pole. The arrowhead is four or five inches long, and the gunpowder cartridge is tied a little behind the arrowhead. Although the structure is extremely simple, the launch principle has become the prototype of modern rockets. It was very common at that time and was one of the important arms, because it can be used in both water and land warfare.

When used, it can be installed on a cold weapon or a tree fork, with a range of up to 500 steps and a lethality against the enemy within 300 steps.

First, he saw the flames burning with the cartridges, and then the sizzling sounds loudly. The rockets used the power of recoil to shoot Jia Cong's sedan. As soon as they saw that there was movement in the inn, other trees were ambushing, and then General Chen saw about four or five hidden stakes shooting at the sedan.

The originally bustling streets were in a mess, and pedestrians screamed and ran away in scattered ways. No matter what, Lord Jia Zhen came down, General Chen, who was hiding in the dark, saw that the sedan chair was almost shot into a sieve eye, and the corners of his mouth were bent with a smug curve. He was satisfied: "That four or five inches long arrowhead can not only penetrate the casual armor, but also apply poison... Humph, it's strange that you don't die..."

"If you want us to bow your head and give me a stern, you will be fine. Jia Cong, Jia Cong, if you want to blame you, you will blame you for being insulted and humiliated by yourself, and you will be stubborn." General Chen Hua bent his thumb and put his index finger in his mouth, and he whistled and swung back. Four or five waves of people ran away in an extremely organized and disciplined manner.

On the street, several people died on the spot by Jia Cong's model guards, and the two managers were even more furious and exclaimed, "Protect the adults, protect the adults."

After the enemy's shooting, Long Aotian and Ai Shuangshuang's eyes met, but he immediately ordered the sedan chairman to carry the sedan chair full of rockets and run straight out of the city gate of the outer city.

For a moment, the arrow feathers outside the sedan chair were shaking.

Because a small iron piece was tied to the tail of the rocket, it was possible to see such a spectacular situation. You could even hear the cliffs clattering in the distance. It seemed that the dispersion was not far away!

Then, the Kyoto patrol team of Akaga Kingdom arrived after realizing it. The hundreds of households in charge of Dongcheng were afraid and reported to the thousand households, the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Censorate's Office. Finally, the Duke An Liren took a few guards down in anger and shouted angrily at the left regiment building of Dongcheng Gate, "Check it out! Check it out for our family! You dog slaves, don't you know that the situation is changing now. Is Shunguo's army at Chengtian Prefecture City? If you can't find it, you all have to finish it!"

The thousand households cursed in their hearts, and one thousand households whispered in a low, uncertain, and hesitated: "Reported to Eunuch An, I saw him from afar, and several sedan chairmen carried Lord Jia's sedan chair and walked as fast as flying... It seemed like an empty sedan chair. I also carefully checked the footprints and determined that there was a very likely no one in the sedan chair..."

"Oh... Then maybe there is a turning point..." An Liren was overjoyed, and then he didn't know what he thought of, his face changed drastically, and he said in horror: "I've been killed! I've been killed! If Jia Cong was so scheming and was as precautions as gods, it would be strange if he didn't take the opportunity to threaten it! What a good excuse!"

Two days later, rumors spread in Kyoto, Akaga Country, and teahouses and restaurants, and low-level departments circulated that "someone assassinated the master of the governor from Shunguo in Kyoto, and the troops from the five provinces were going to attack the Chengtian Mansion of Kyoto, and I don't know how many people would die." Rumors like this were rampant and unstoppable. In addition, the unjustified people and a considerable number of rich people purchased certificates from the yamen, and the comprador sea boat moved to escape until the six ministries discovered that they had severe interference, otherwise half of the city might have left, and the city was full of wind and rain, and people were panicked.

The manor in Wannian County, outside the outskirts of Kyoto, is like the past. The green branches and leaves of the coconut trees and arena trees sway lazily in the autumn sun. The dry layer looks like a fallen snake skin, telling the mottled traces of time, and like an old man in the twilight years.

In the main hall of the manor, Jia Cong, who was sleeping on the bamboo chair, looked pale and coughed constantly. He squirted with his equally morbid pale lips and ordered: "These models who unfortunately died were all trained by me in Yanjing. I watched them train their serial fighting methods every day, and they were also your brothers... Cough cough, let me continue to call me and buy a farm to store it, and register it. I will send them back to my hometown in the future. However, if there are relatives, they will be kind and comforted, or assaulted, or pay the money, and there will be no missed. This order was asked by Xianggong Guan to write a book and inform the entire army."

Ai Shuangshuang and others were full of passion and wanted to die to avenge the adults. They knelt on one knee and said, "Xiangxiangguo first politely and then soldiers, conspiring to kill the adults. Beizhi advised the adults to retreat to Keelung quickly, integrate the three armies, fight against them, and avenge their revenge for the adults and their brothers!"

"Ahem! Team Ai, someone is coming, you and I will do your job as the adults are instructed first." Long Aotian had no fun of his tone and his rules were solemn. Ai Shuangshuang was stunned. Seeing him wink, the two of them then withdrew from the back door.

However, a gust of fragrant wind came. Jia Cong hurriedly closed his eyes, and the pipa bone under his right shoulder was bandaged with white cloth. Blood was penetrated, and he seemed to be seriously injured and terminally ill. He only felt Qin Keqing's black hair was itchy on his nose, and he couldn't speak warmly: "Junior brother, after your death, just yesterday, I wrote a book and asked someone to report to Keelung. Now the generals and a few young men have arrived in the suburbs of the city. I am afraid of a conflict with the Beijing Camp of Xixiang Country. They can only have a few people in the moment. They are waiting in the living room at this time, anxious."

Jia Cong heard Qin Keqing's tone not at all anxious, and his gentle words were as flowing as spring water: "Junior brother, I thought the women in the Jia family, including me, had many disasters, but you were not the same. You took me into the dangerous place, and I felt very pleased that we should live and die together. Senior sister's life has been saved by you many times, and she should have died with you."

Jia Cong was ashamed of her secretly, but immediately felt proud and excited, and said to herself: "Senior sister is not like a weak woman except for her appearance? No wonder, except for her charm and romanticism, she was the only woman who was at the Jia family at the time! And if I hadn't changed the Red Chamber, my senior sister would have dreamed of Wang Xifeng after her death, and if the moon was full, she would lose money. If she climbed high, she would fall heavily, and the tree would fall and scatter. How could her moves be without courage? She really deserves to be the name of governing the country, and she can manage the family with one or two hairpins and skirts!"

In his heart, he was worried that when a daughter like Qin Keqing was far away from her hometown, she would be weak and gradually feel sad like Lin Daiyu. However, he did not know that he gave Qin Keqing a good environment and her talents could naturally be reflected. Jia Cong felt relieved and opened the slit and took a look, but saw that Defni flashed in.

Defney's leather boots today, with wreaths embroidered on her ankle. She can tell at first glance that it is British goods. She wears a triangle hat and a blue cloth short armor. A very white lotus arms are exposed, giving people a stunning feeling: "What's wrong with adults? There is a few good news over the English store."

Qin Keqing smiled sweetly: "Oh, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive. Miss Dai, you and I will be a widow."

Seeing that Jia Cong on the couch looked like a dead person, Defney suddenly turned dizzy and almost fainted. At this time, the guards reported to the general and the young master to come to visit. Qin Keqing pulled Defney and flashed behind the screen, trying to walk out of the back door.

Then when Jia Cong discussed with others, Defney breathed a sigh of relief and gave Qin Keqing a fierce look. After waiting for a while, Jia Cong finally said, "The social structure here in Qianxiang Country is very different from that in the mainland, and war is also an opportunity to make a fortune. As long as there are money and soldiers, it is not difficult for you young masters to establish themselves here. General Lu also said that there are still many places such as Yilan in the east. The business model is that immigrants have money to use the poor as tenants, and the poor tenants find indigenous people to be tenants. Many deep mountains and forests are rich in resources and are close to the port. When the troops arrive, are you still afraid that you cannot hold the money of the beautiful people? Then return to your hometown, how glorious it is, and you are so powerful."

Wei Ruolan, Zhou Wenbai and others were all happy and enthusiastic. Some of them cried bitterly for Jia Cong's injuries and threatened to avenge their great revenge. After that, they secretly discussed that they could not hear clearly. Qin Keqing thought to himself: "My junior brother is still very good at winning over people."

She waved her hand and told Defni not to disturb her. Defni had to give up. She went out of the back door and walked the flower path of the guard room. She heard the loud voices of the two teams in charge. Long Aotian's Shandong accent was rude and said, "Do you think military and national affairs are a joke? It's not that the adults don't avenge their brothers or not, but that the adults say that brothers, if you really think you are brothers, hehe... Then you shouldn't be the team. The organization is within the organization, not where we were in the world at the beginning."

The opposite side was silent for a while, Ai Shuangshuang sighed and said, "Thank you, Brother Long, reminds you, no wonder you said you were sweating on your back at that time. It turned out that the adults were disguised and fled from the outer city as soon as they left the inner city. In the end, they still asked the martial arts champion to use a crossbow arrow to stab a few inches into his pipa bone... The adults represent Shunguo, which is not as simple as personal safety, so there are excuses for sending troops. Akagi's country is passive, but they can also use some gangs as shields, saying that it was not done by their military..."

"Shut up! Don't talk about this." Long Aotian shouted in a deep voice: "Let's just follow the instructions and be lucky enough to survive and be appointed as an official with the adults. That's also a blessing, let's not talk about anything else."

In the end, the two teams were silent and dared not speak out, leaving only the sound of the wind and birds singing in their ears.

"A person like this can be a MP in the English Parliament." Defney burst into tears and smiled.
