C327 Tea House Fighting

Five years of Tongzhi's summer time, a series of explosive rumours started to spread rapidly in the capital city. Anyone who heard this news, regardless of whether they were royalty, eight banner idler s, or even the Chinese Officer scholars or even the servants, all of them lost their voices from shock. Their astonishment was no less than Hong Xiuquan's shock when he settled down in Nanjing, and even the British and French combined forces s attacked and destroyed the Beijing s.

All the teahouses, gardens and brothels in the capital city were filled with the whispers of people everywhere they gathered. The heads of everyone were pressed together in a mysterious manner, as if they were afraid of being overheard by the people around them. However, everyone could still hear the whispers in a low voice.

"This grandpa!" Have you heard? That two evildoers from the west, that Xiao Letian, have already died in Europa! "

"My God! Are you kidding? Are you talking about Xiao Letian who wiped out a hundred thousand Japanese thugs in the Ryukyu, and even annihilated the Green Battalion alone? "

"It's not him, it's the Xiao Letian who ambushed Maylor at the Eight Flag Camp.

"Nonsense. Although I don't like him, I have to admit that his life is still quite tough. How can he die so easily?"

"Damn it, you only know how to talk back. If I don't have a solid proof, would I dare to lie like this?" My uncle's family's son-in-law's sworn brother is the Prince Li's pen and ink executive. He heard the news from the prince's mouth … "

"Tsk …" The surrounding people booed. This relationship was too complicated, who in the Beijing would believe in such a rut? One look and it was obvious that they were making it up.

When the Eight Flag duo, who had spread the rumors, saw that the surroundings were filled with boos, their faces immediately turned red. The men of Beijing cared about face. Without money, she wouldn't lose face.

"Good, good, good. Today, I will open your eyes so that you all, this country bumpkin, won't know that you have three eyes in horse grandpa!"

The horse grandpa crouched the bird cage on the table. He didn't have time to care about the oriole inside the cage, as he carefully looked around, and took out a roll of paper from his chest pocket.

"Take a look, this is the foreign news paper. Look at this paper, it's stiff and black in color …" Before he could finish bragging, the surrounding people had already snatched the newspaper over, and unfurled it to see, it was precisely the picture of the bayonet in Xiao Letian's heart.

"My Heavenly Bodhisattva Emperor, ah, this is really him, this is Xiao Letian. Back then, when he had started a war of words with Old Han Lin in Hundred Flowers Hall, I had watched from the sidelines, it was definitely him who did not make the slightest mistake …"

The surrounding crowd exploded like a thunderclap. Even the boy who was peeking with a bronze teapot was scared stiff. He shouted loudly and dropped the copper teapot on the ground, "Aiyo, my mother!?" Isn't this the native's bayonet? Six years ago, many foreign troops entered the Beijing, looking at all of these large bayonets, it is so bright that it is terrifying … "

"That's right, that's right. Kid, you have a good eye. This is a bayonet made in France. From the moment it is revealed, it will probably be worth at least an inch and a half …" "Think about it, this is the pit of the heart. It would have pierced the heart an inch and a half ago. Do you think he would still be able to live?"

The moment the newspaper was taken care of, horse grandpa's face was saved, but this secret was also completely leaked out. All of the surrounding customers looked at the newspaper with all kinds of strange expressions, some with regret, some with pride, some with disappointment, and some with numbness …

"Aiyo!" Aiyo, aiyo … What the heck was going on? How could a good person be stabbed by a foreigner? This group of foreigners really don't take us seriously. They kill such a big figure just like that? Is there still any way for us to survive? "

horse grandpa crossed his legs and sipped the tea, laughing coldly as he spat the tea leaves out on the ground. If I say that this is retribution, then what is Xiao Letian? How many people had he killed all these years without any respect for his father? It is not enough to kill Japanese, and he even dares to kill the Green Battalion of our Great Qing Empire. How arrogant is he? "

"Not only that, Maylor from the Tianjin camp was actually taken away from the camp by him. How many of our Eight Flag's men died in the fire? You all have remembered the debt of blood to him, and now it's nothing more than taking advantage of the foreigners' hands to repay him. You all still feel sorry for him? "Pah …"

"That's right, that's right, horse grandpa is right. These two devils are too despotic, even my good friend Jiao Si Shu died mysteriously in the end. It is said that he was involved as well, and this is retribution …"

What the two masters said is reasonable, Xiao Letian is too despotic, the heavens could not bear to watch any longer, so they sent the Master Yang to deal with him. How can you offend a foreigner? What kind of power was that! That was a heavenly soldier who could break through Beijing! If Xiao Letian offended them, wouldn't he be courting death? Big guy, tell me, why did this Xiao Letian run to Europa when he had nothing better to do? "

The group of people gathered around their seats and discussed animatedly, as if they were trying to add insult to injury. However, they never expected that these words would offend a lot of the surrounding customers. Among them, were two young men dressed like Confucian Scholars. They could no longer suppress their anger.

"This is horse grandpa, right? "Greetings …" The tall Confucian Scholar walked over with large strides and cupped his hands towards horse grandpa, speaking politely before heading straight for the main topic.

"horse grandpa, you've been chatting for so long. That means Xiao Letian is dead, but why did you not clearly explain that? "Please explain …"

The group of people looked at the young man in front of them. Although they were familiar with him, they didn't dare to recognize him. However, they were certain that he had the air of a scholar.

The horse grandpa cupped his hands, "I dare not, do you still want me to find a reason to kill you?" He, Xiao Letian, would not stay in the Great Qing Dynasty for all this time. He insisted on going to Europa to investigate. "He went all the way to an acre to pretend to be a grandpa, how can he end up doing well like this?"

"Hahaha …" Before horse grandpa could finish his sentence, the young man was already laughing maniacally, and his laughter actually had a hint of a sobbing tone. At the same time, the people around him also recognized him.

"Aiyo, this is Hanlin House's Luo Hao, Luo Hanlin! It was said that this guy took Xiao Letian, the second evildoer, as his master, and even claimed that he was from some Western Guild.

Luo Hao did not have time to pay attention to the discussions around him, he stared at horse grandpa and asked gloomily, "I don't want to hear your guesses, I only want to ask you, why did the Frenchmen want to kill Xiao Letian? How did the bayonet pierce his heart? "Why is that?"

horse grandpa seemed to not be able to stand Luo Hao's overbearing tone, and his eyes dove a little. "I don't recognize any of these Chinese characters. It has nothing to do with this grandpa for whatever it is that I like!"

At this time, more and more people had gathered in the teahouse to watch the lively scene. horse grandpa seemed to realize that his face had been challenged, and he opened his mouth to curse.

"Stupid bookworm, not only are you not putting on a show in the Hanlin House, you are even taking care of your old age, and you still dare to glare at your master? 'Damn, this is a good time for you. If I had been in the country for those years, even if I had blinded you, you'd still have to kneel down and thank me … '

Luo Hao looked at the horse grandpa who looked like a scoundrel, and his heart was filled with sorrow.

"You don't know why, but I'll tell you! Xiao Letian, a statesman in the wild of the Great Qing, a Prime Minister whom the Ryukyu Kingdom has even acknowledged. Just as he entered the Mediterranean, before he even reached the doorsteps of the French people, he was attacked by warships … "

"In France, these foreigners have imprisoned politicians from the East for no reason at all. They don't even bother giving them a reason. In their eyes, are we Chinese even pigs and dogs?"

The anger in Luo Hao's heart had already ignited his emotions, the thing known as reason had long been tossed to the back of his mind, and in the midst of his roar, all of the saliva in his mouth flew straight towards horse grandpa's head.

"Do you know? Do you know? Who in the Great Qing knew? Xiao Letian only brought 300 guardian warriors and fought a fierce battle with the large nose and Westerners in France! "

"Three hundred people. Only three hundred people. They defeated one French Army Camp, and then blocked two more. Half of the three hundred were dead or injured … But do you know? They won, and used one hundred and fifty lives in exchange for two times the casualties of the French army, and also succeeded in saving Xiao Letian … "

"Why did Xiao Letian get hit by this? He was stabbed by the enemy during the deathmatch where he was surrounded! "They are already regarded as the unbeatable Eastern Warriors by the European powers. They are fighting for the face of all the Chinese. They are using their blood and their lives to fight for the face of all the bastards who are scolding people behind your backs!"

With a boom, the teahouse completely exploded. Everyone was dumbstruck by what they heard.

"Oh my god! Three hundred French Battalions and he still won? "

"Hurry up and pinch me, are you dreaming? Is he trying to beat me in numbers or is he on someone else's territory? "This, this, this is too unreasonable …"

The crowd broke out into a flurry of discussion. They all said that they didn't believe it, but all of their faces were beaming with joy. The people of the country had been holding back their anger for a long time now. When they heard such heartening news, it was as if they had been slapped hard by the foreigners. Their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.

After being stunned for a moment, horse grandpa jumped up, the first to express his disbelief, "Impossible! Even the Monk King could not defeat the foreigners, but Xiao Letian? Let alone winning by a small margin, even if he won by a small margin, I still wouldn't believe it … Furthermore, even if what you said is true, it is not our fortune to clear up. We do not need Cao Cao Cao, what does he, Xiao Letian, want to do? Rebellion? "

"It's good that he died, it's good that he died. If the foreigners kill him, it'll save your horse grandpa from making a move …"

"Bullshit, damn you!" Who said scholars did not know how to fight? Luo Hao punched horse grandpa on the nose, and with a pa sound, his entire face exploded open.

At this time, Wen Xiu, who was drinking tea with Luo Hao, had already pulled up her sleeves, and without saying a word, he grabbed the teapot on the table and fiercely smashed it onto horse grandpa's head when she saw his good friend making a move.

"Are you even human? "You are an ocean slave. How can a beast like you be raised after two hundred years of being raised by eight flags in the Great Qing?!"

horse grandpa was stunned, but he was not alone, the surrounding eight banner men all shouted loudly, "Aiyo, smelly Chinese actually dare to hit the flag bearer, is this rebellion? "What are you waiting for …"

For a moment, the teahouse was in chaos, and the sky and earth went dark.
