25. The Fate of a Righteous Thief (Please Read Further)

Rainy night.

Heavy rain.

Several flashes of lightning broke the dark sky.

Xu Xing was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat and walking on the rainy street. His foot accidentally stepped on a small puddle of water accumulated on the bluestone slab, and his cloth shoes were quickly wet. The soles of his feet were covered with a layer of water, cold and wet.

Before he had walked for a while, suddenly, the pedestrians on the rainy street scattered and hid on the side of the street.

Several oil-paper umbrellas flew in the air and fell in front of him.

Then, the sound of horse hooves shook the roadbed, and the neighing of war horses came from afar. It was a group of green camp soldiers wearing white bamboo hats, carrying Hanyang-made on their backs, and the word "soldier" on their chests. They drove their war horses across the rainy street without paying any attention to the pedestrians on the road.

After the raging, the street was in a mess.

Oil-paper umbrellas, several rattles, some pomegranates, etc., were scattered all over the ground.

"Your rattle."

Xu Xing bent down, picked up a rattle, and handed it to a boy hiding in his parents' arms on the side of the road.

"Thank you, young master."

The boy took the rattle in a panic and bowed to Xu Xing to thank him.

He saw that Xu Xing was wearing a Confucian robe, and guessed that his family was either rich or noble, so he respectfully called Xu Xing "young master."

"It's just a piece of cake."

Xu Xing smiled and touched the boy's head, then turned and left.

Some easy good deeds.

He didn't mind doing them.

A little chat.

An inn.

Xu Xing borrowed a horse with the membership ticket of the Gelaohui.

…

“This mission is to kill Huang Beile.”

“Huang Beile is the nephew of Prince Zhan of the Zhan Palace in the capital, and is also the commander of the Shenji Camp. He came to Qin Province to buy birthday gifts on the orders of Prince Zhan. A few days ago, he bought a purple jade peach.”

“Prince Zhan intends to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager Cixi with this gift, so that the Zhan Mansion can regain the favor of the Empress Dowager Cixi.”

“Prince Zhan is a Mongolian prince.”

“Hold the military power.”

“Don’t let him reconcile with the Empress Dowager Cixi.”

In a valley, more than 30 Xiaoyi cousins ​​gathered together.

Master Ma looked around and explained the goal of this mission.

“Yes, Master Ma.”

“Yes, Master Ma.”

“Yes, Master Ma.”

“…”

The brothers of Xiaoyi Hall waved Guanshan knives and echoed in unison.

"As for you..."

Master Ma turned his eyes to Xu Xing. He took Xu Xing aside and whispered, "Originally, Xiaoyi Hall didn't intend to inform you of the action, but... the hall master still doubted your loyalty. Since you joined Xiaoyi Hall, you have not killed a Manchu Tartar. This killing is a token of your loyalty."

"You will stay by my side later. Don't run around. After catching Huang Beile, just kill him with your own hands."

"It can also be regarded as an explanation to the brothers in Shantang."

He patted Xu Xing's shoulder heavily with his right hand.

"I know."

Xu Xing nodded.

Master Ma's words were exactly what he wanted.

He had no intention of forcing himself to stand out.

Although this is just a copy world, if he died, it would not be considered a real death. But who knows if the bronze ancient mirror can reopen another world after his death. If the bronze ancient mirror has a standby time..., then he in the sky prison will have only one choice, which is to wait for death.

"When I just left Jingyang County, I saw a group of cavalry running to the west gate. "

"Are these cavalrymen also the escorts of Huang Beile?" Xu Xing worriedly said.

The reason why Xiaoyitang chose to act on a rainy day is because on rainy days, the firearms of the officers and soldiers are easy to misfire. Except for the elite troops, many officers and soldiers still use matchlock guns. But the cavalry team just now is different. They are not only equipped with war horses, but also Hanyang-made ones.

"This..."

Master Ma was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Although Xiaoyitang's intelligence system is not bad, it is a grassroots one after all, and it is difficult to cover everything.

"Fang Yun, the governor of Qin Province, is also a Mongolian Tartar."

"He has some friendship with Prince Zhan. Maybe he sent troops to escort Huang Beile out of the country. After all, we assassinated Fang Yun last year, so it is normal for him to do this."

Master Ma frowned and analyzed seriously.

After that, he looked at Xu Xing, "Since there is this news, today's action... let's postpone it. "

With the cavalry and Hanyang warships here, it would be difficult for these Pao brothers from Xiaoyi Hall to escape unscathed, let alone kill Huang Beile.

"It's not that serious."

Xu Xing pondered for a while, "I'll make some bombs later to deal with these cavalrymen. And Master Ma, you send a few brothers to get information. If it works, we will take action..."

You can't hide from the first day.

He must do the thing of surrendering.

Otherwise, the Gelaohui will not trust him, even though he has joined the society.

After killing the official, there is no turning back for him.

Why did Xiaoyitang find him before the county exam was announced...

This is not difficult to guess. It's nothing more than seeing that he is about to pass the exam and has a bright future. If they don't force him to join the Liangshan Mountain now, it will be difficult to do so in the future...

The elders of the Gelaohui are heroes against the Qing Dynasty, no problem at all.

But if you really regard the elders of the Gelaohui as heroes with great righteousness, you will lose your mind.

Therefore, Xu Xing deliberately showed his value.

Can make bombs!

The literati who engaged in anti-Qing in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China were embarrassed to meet people if they didn't know how to make bombs.

For example, Chen Zhongfu, Principal Cai and others worked together to make bombs and tried to assassinate the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The main course of Weijing Academy Rixinzhai is to teach practical learning.

The secondary course is the art of eight-part essay writing.

Xu Xing is familiar with bombs.

"Explosives?"

"Can you make explosives?"

Master Ma was surprised to hear Xu Xing's words.

If Xiaoyi Hall had sufficient firepower, who would be willing to chop people with a big knife?

Cold weapon war is just a helpless move.

"Master Ma..."

"I learned the craft of making bombs in the academy."

"As for explosives, it's even simpler."

Xu Xing was quite helpless.

It seems that Master Ma and others only know that they have entered the academy, but they don't know what they have learned in the academy.

Yes, Xiaoyi Hall and others came from the grassroots, so how can they tell the difference between practical learning and eight-part essays. Even if they know what practical learning means, they don't necessarily know that after learning practical learning, they can make bombs.

Bombs and explosives are slightly different, and bombs are more difficult to make.

"If you can make bombs..."

"I'll... tell the hall master and let you be the incense master of our Xiaoyi Hall."

Master Ma knows how precious people who can make bombs are.

With bombs, Xiaoyi Hall can upgrade its weapons.

"Incense master?"

Xu Xing's heart was filled with anticipation.

Master Ma is the incense master of Xiaoyi Hall and also serves as the Red Stick, commanding thirty brothers and sisters.

...

Two days later.

With the death of Huang Beile.

Master Ma also secretly wrote a letter to Xu Xing to a temporary station outside the county, intending to grant him the status of incense master.

At the same time.

Xu Xing also gave birth to another new fate.

[Yi Thief (Red)].
