Seeing that he was surrounded by the Guan Ning army of the brigade, Wang Shuo quietly ordered the housekeeper who followed behind him: "Go and pick up the lady and the two girls."
There were three horses on the north side of the alley, so let them ride on them and run towards the Xuanwu Gate, and I would arrive later. ”The closest city gate to here is Xuanwu Gate.When the housekeeper went to the courtyard, Wang Shuo looked at the dozen or so Ming soldiers in front of him and said with a smile: "Oh, even a few of you dare to stop Lao Tzu, you are really looking for death" At the end of the words, the tone suddenly changed, and he swung his knife and slashed at the general.The general had already taken precautions and raised his sword to meet him.Unexpectedly, Wang Shuo's knife looked very fast, and it changed direction in the middle and slashed at his waist.Wang Shuo got Li Yan to teach the Tai Chi heart method, and the knife skills have been greatly improved, and the original ruthless, powerful, and fast knife techniques have been kneaded into a lot of weirdness and become unpredictable.The general never dreamed that Wang Shuo's knife would suddenly turn around, raise his knife to face the air, and secretly screamed in his heart, it was too late, he was cut in the abdomen by Wang Shuo's knife, and fell to the ground with a scream.Wang Shuo did not stop with the saber in his hand, and quickly killed another Guan Ning soldier beside him.His saber was made of stainless steel by Wu Langxi, and the material was much better than the blade used by Guan Ningjun, and he had great strength, and the knife slashed on the opponent's blade, and the opponent's blade often couldn't bear it and was broken in two.He slashed and slashed, and in an instant, more than a dozen Guan Ning troops fell in half.Guan Ningjun in the alley saw that this side was changing, and they drew their swords together to kill.Wang Shuo was not afraid, and fought with more than thirty Guanning troops, the blades collided, and the ping-pong sounded.The housekeeper took Chen Yuanyuan and the two girls to the door, but they were blocked by the scuffle at the door and couldn't go out.Chen Yuanyuan stood at the door, watching Wang Shuo fighting alone with more than 30 soldiers, without fear, worried about him in his heart.But seeing that Wang Shuo's knife was flying like a fly, and he did not fall into the wind, and with a flash of the knife, a Guan Ning soldier died on the ground.Chen Yuanyuan had already seen Wang Shuo's bravery.In the back garden that day, fifty Shun soldiers were killed by him in an instant, and these thirty or so Guan Ning troops were estimated to be unfavorable.Sure enough, more than 30 Guan Ning troops did not hold out until a cup of tea, and there were still five people who could stand on the ground.Wang Shuo swung his knife at the five people, so frightened that they let out a shout, turned around and fled without their lives.The rest of the Guan Ning troops in the distance saw that Wang Shuo was so fierce, and they didn't dare to come over, so they ran away together.Wang Shuo didn't care about chasing, and hurriedly brought the three war horses he brought with him to the north of the alley, and let Chen Yuanyuan and the two girls get on the horses and go out of the city.The housekeeper and the others are all locals, so they don't have to follow them, they each find a place to hide.Wu Sangui's troops have arrived, and it is estimated that this is the vanguard force, and it will not be long before the brigade will enter the city of Beijing.If you don't run quickly, I'm afraid you won't be able to run out.Hongxiu and Xiuhong can't ride horses.Wang Shuo was in a hurry, counting on taking the broken carriage, when he would be able to run out, but there was no other way, Wang Shuo had to call over a few Shunjun who were not dead, find someone who could catch the car, pull up the two girls, and he and Chen Yuanyuan rode in front of the road, all the way to Xuanwumen.As soon as he arrived at Xuanwu Gate, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the enemy army chased after him.There was a carriage dragged behind, and sooner or later the enemy would catch up.You can't take these two girls with you anymore, otherwise, no one will be able to escape.Wang Shuo asked everyone to stop, looked around, and saw that there was a building on the east side of Xuanwu Gate, which was obviously different from the surrounding area, with a high spire, like a Christian church.In his impression, religious believers are generally very kind-hearted, and they may take these two girls in.At this time, he didn't care much, he led everyone to the church, let everyone wait outside the courtyard, he climbed over the courtyard wall, came to the door of the church, and knocked on the door "bang".After a long time, there was a light inside.After a while, a crack opened in the door, and a bearded foreigner stood there with a candle in his hand.Wang Shuo said, "Father, I know that you are a compassionate person.Today there are two women who are being chased by robbers and have nowhere to go, please take them in" The bearded foreigner looked at the general's armor on Wang Shuo's body, and wondered: "You are an official, why are you still afraid of robbers" spoke standard Beijing dialect.Wang Shuo smiled bitterly: "The Manchu soldiers have been killed, my official family is useless, and I have to flee for my life."
The two women could not be taken away, so I begged the priest to help take them in, and to hide for a while, and when it was too peaceful for a few days, I would come and pick them up. ”The bearded man said: "If they are the people who the court wants to arrest, I will take them in, and they will be implicated."
You should know that it is not easy for us Europeans to survive in your country.I'm sorry, but you'd better find someone else. ”Anyway, the door will be closed.Wang Shuo hurriedly pushed the door shut, knowing that he didn't have time to say more at this time, so he immediately stiffened his tone and said, "What about your master, call him, I know him."
The man looked at Wang Shuo suspiciously and asked, "How do you know our principal, who are you?"
The pursuers behind him are getting closer and closer, and they will soon search here.Seeing the other party's suspicions, Wang Shuo suddenly remembered that at this time, among the Western missionaries in Beijing, it should be John Tang who was in charge, so he said: "I know John Tang, you call out John Tang, I will tell him."
The man was even more puzzled: "I'm John Tang, why don't I know you" Hey, this time the muzzle of the gun was on the ear, and the sound of the hooves of the chasing soldiers behind him was getting closer and closer, Wang Shuo was in a hurry, and remembered that Wu Langxi said that he and John Tang were classmates.He asked John Tang: "Do you know Wu Langxi?"
John Tang was shocked, Wu Langxi was his classmate and friend of the Italian seminary, they came to China together, and there has been no news of him for a long time.He hurriedly asked, "Do you know him, where is he?"
Wang Shuo said: "He is in Xining and is doing well.We are close friends, and he wants me to look for you when I come to Beijing. ”Without waiting for John Tang to ask, he depicted Wu Langxi's appearance.John Tang finally believed that he knew Wu Langxi, but he didn't necessarily know that they were friends, and Wu Langxi was not necessarily alive.Wang Shuo is in such a hurry, why didn't he think of asking Wu Langxi to write a letter to Tang Ruowang Wang Shuo fumbled around for a long time, took out the revolver, handed it to Tang Ruowang, and said, "Look, this is what Wu Langxi sent me."
By candlelight, John Tong held the revolver in his hand and watched, and his fingers unconsciously reached into the trigger.Wang Shuo was shocked, hurriedly grabbed it, and told him that the place could not be moved, and Tang Ruowang, who could ring, only then did he understand that it was a beautiful pistol.He looked closely in the candlelight, and saw the letters "fr" engraved on the edge of the handle, and knew that this was the beginning of Wu Langsi's name in French.This gun is so exquisite, although I don't understand the principle, but the Chinese definitely can't make it.He finally said, "Okay, even if you know Wu Langxi."
However, I still dare not take in you Chinese.If the official family knows, I will be implicated, and I may be beheaded. ”Yes, half a day's work was in vain
