"Stop, you can't treat my believers like this..." Father Lewis rushed up and wanted to negotiate, but Shopkeeper Fan bowed and said, "Master Foreigner, we are not embarrassed by him. Don't worry, we will release people when we arrive in Yi County. But let me tell you the truth. This person's identity is suspicious. What if he is a spy of a bandit? There is an old Chinese saying that you must be guarded against others."

"Bandits? Didn't you say that this trade route is the safest and there are no bandits?" Lewis asked back.

"I didn't have one before, but today I saw this suspicious person, so I couldn't save it..." Master Qing San, who tied up Xiao Letian, came over. "You are an outsider who doesn't know the customs of the Qing Dynasty. This guy's identity is very suspicious like a spy who is strapped on a bandit. And when I went to Shanxi last month, I heard hunters in the mountains say that it seems that some people who don't know the details came to this mountain..."

"Master Priest, we don't hurt him, we just take care of him throughout the journey and release him when Yixian enters the plains. Do you think this is not OK? This is not contrary to the treaty you mentioned..."

Mr. Qing San’s words made Lewis unable to refute. It’s always right for others to be careful of this. If he says he will stop him, it will be a little unreasonable. At the first time, Xiao Letian said, “Mr. Lewis, listen to them, I’m fine, this grievance is nothing…”

Xiao Letian recognized it, so Lewis stopped talking. When the shopkeeper Fan saw that the agreement was settled, he waved his hand and two friends came over with a big mule. They were so immoral that they actually asked Xiao Letian to ride upside down. Zhang Guo always rode a donkey backwards. Xiao Letian is fine, riding a mule backwards.

After cleaning up, Xiao Letian's caravan also had enough food and drinks and had lunch, and started to march east again. When it was getting dark, the caravan must walk to a small village called Shalangao, where is the campsite of the caravan tonight.

The mountain road is very difficult to walk on. Xiao Letian rode on the mule's back and felt a little seasick. Please come with more and faster chapters. It's dark in front of you, but it's strange if you don't feel dizzy.

Xiao Letian has his own trick to deal with motion sickness, so he has to rely on mental transfer. To put it bluntly, he just wants to do things. As long as his brain is not idle, the symptoms of dizziness will not be obvious.

"What should I do? Traveling through the three years of Tongzhi in 1864 is really not a good year for rebellion. Now the Second Opium War has just ended for four years. Britain and France have obtained the largest piece of cake from the Qing Dynasty. Now it is the enjoyment period. This honeymoon period cannot be broken easily..."

"As for Russia to the north, he had just cut off more than 1 million square kilometers of land from the Qing Dynasty. Even if this big bear has a big appetite, he has to digest it for a while. At this time, there is really little interest in interfering in the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty..."

"Where are other countries? Japan hasn't even started the Meiji Restoration, and it's not as good as the Qing Dynasty now. The Civil War in the United States will not end at least next year, and the post-war recovery period will take several years, and it is impossible to interfere in China's affairs in the short term. As for Germany, it has not even fought the French-Prussian War, and the prototype of modern Germany has not appeared..."

Xiao Letian put out a detailed list of all the powerful powers in front of him, but it turned out that there was no country that could take advantage of the situation.

"Oh, it turns out that Tongzhi Zhongxing is reliable. Western powers are not interested in managing the affairs of the Qing Dynasty now. Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army was in a period of great momentum. The population of the Central Plains dropped by one third in the Hongyang Rebellion. There is no owner-owned land, and the land conflicts have greatly eased, and the farmers' willingness to resist was at the lowest period..."

"Hey... why is the gap between the country so big? The American civil war accelerated the industrialization of the country, and the power of northern capitalists grew wildly until before World War I transformed a major agricultural power into an industrial power. Let's update it as soon as possible and look at the Hongyang Rebellion of the Qing Dynasty in the same period. It was also a civil war between the north and the south. As a result, the landlord class represented by Confucianism was restored. Not only did it grab great power from the Qing government, but it also made the southern economy mess..."

"The most serious thing is that the landlord class represented by Zeng Guofan only wants to use Western weapons, that is, foreign guns and cannons, but is extremely rejecting Western values ​​in his heart, especially natural science, who does not want to study the principles in it..."

"To put it bluntly, in the eyes of those Confucian officials, it is enough for soldiers to use foreign guns and cannons. As for the principle of foreign guns and cannons, they are not interested at all. Not only are they not interested, they even don't allow interested people to learn. The countryside is still full of 300,000 recitations, and the eight-part essays are still popular in the imperial examinations..."

"How should this damn dull heaven be broken? Huh..." Xiao Letian thought about it and suddenly had a flash of thought and almost gave himself a mouth. "I'm a pig's brain, have I forgotten my ideal? Xiao Letian, Xiao Letian, didn't you want to save China with the least bleeding method before you travel through time? Why do you think about it and always use your brain to change the bloody revolution of the dynasty?"

"Damn it, since God has sent me to this era, it must make sense. In a long period of peace, can't we just show our dreams? Can't those hypothetical plans be tried one by one now? Hahaha, it turns out that I am born to be useful. Angry youth should be self-reliant. I want to travel through time and find angry youth... Damn, my mind is really confused, and I'm starting to think about it..."

Xiao Letian wandered all the way, thinking all the way, dizzy and didn't know how much time had passed. Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the front of the team, "Huh? Why are there so many falling rocks and trees here? There wasn't there yet?"

Then there was a loud footsteps and a buzzing discussion. Just when Xiao Letian didn't know the situation, his eyes suddenly lit up, and Master Qing San had already taken off the black cloth pocket on his head.

"You dare to say that you are not a spy! What's going on here..." Master Qing San pulled Xiao Letian off the mule's back with one hand, and he was so confused that he fell. Master Qing San was indeed very strong, and he walked like a chicken in one hand and rushed to the front of the caravan.

When Xiao Letian was thrown to the ground, he found that there were a lot of stones rolling down in the narrow valley, and several big trees were buried inside. The caravan was completely unable to get through. Please come more and faster chapters.

"What does this have to do with me? You can't say that I did it just because of a landslide? Isn't this kind of landslide in the mountains very common?"

"Fuck, it's October now, it's been a fucking two months. You said that landslides will collapse? You're blowing the landslides with your mouth? Look at the stumps on the tree stump, it's obviously cut by an axe. What else can be possible besides blocking the road between bandits?"

Master Qing San was really anxious. He was not the dandy Eight Banners who were walking around in the teahouse in Sijiu City. He knew that it was the most dangerous time to not have a village or a shop in this big mountain valley. Any mistake could cost everyone's lives.

"This is unfair. Why do you blame me if there are a bunch of stones on the road? Just because I am a stranger? Pastor Lewis is also a stranger. Why don't you blame him?" Xiao Letian was really a rogue and directly pulled out all the foreigners as a shield.

Master Qing San's nose was crooked, "It seems that if you don't hit you, you won't know that Prince Ma has three eyes..." After saying that, he raised his fists and was about to take action. Xiao Letian's hands are tied behind his back and he can't resist at all. Even if he was not tied up, the little white-collar worker who traveled through time was not a match for Master Qing San's unparalleled riding and shooting. He subconsciously closed his eyes and wanted to stand up.

But the expected fist did not fall. When he squinted his eyes and looked carefully, he realized that Pastor Lewis had grabbed Master Qing San's wrist with one hand, and the two were competing in the air.

Master Qing San really didn't expect that this foreigner was so strong that he held his wrist like a fire plier, and he couldn't break free after several times. And Lewis also tried his best. He didn't expect that the group of Eight Banners soldiers who smoked big smokers in the Qing Dynasty had such good physical fitness. Lewis was sweating when he strife. More and faster chapters were welcomed.

"Second masters, two masters, don't be angry, don't be angry... Let's all give in. If you have anything to say, go back and talk. Now the first task is to clear a way out. We must arrive at Shalang'ao before dark..." Manager Fan quickly smoothed out the situation. Xiao Letian had passed the second disaster.

The caravan staff and soldiers are no longer in their identities. They have worked together to clear the piles of rocks to save their lives. It took an hour to clear out a narrow path that the caravan could pass through. When the caravan drove away again, the expected bandits did not appear.

"Master Qing San, I think the smell is wrong? I have cleaned it for so long, but there is nothing wrong with it. I suspect that these bandits want to attack at night?" Manager Fan said with a gloomy face.

"It is possible that the purpose of these stones is to delay our time, and to prevent us from rushing to the Shalang Ao before dark, and then attack us while the night is dark... Damn, this is a sure thing, and I want to kill us with the smallest casualties..." Master Qing San held the handle of the knife in his palm, and almost clenched out of water. Please come more and faster chapters.

"Old shopkeeper, you are old, give me some advice," asked Master Qing San. Shopkeeper Fan was not polite. "The total cash in escort this time is 110,000 taels. Do you think the thirty mules-carried tea baskets? The silver is hidden there. If you really encounter bandits, I don't want all these silver..."

"No? This is the official silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you lose it, you will be beheaded..." Master Qing San wanted to persuade him again, but Manager Fan raised his hand and said domineeringly, "Isn't it just 110,000? Our Fan family doesn't care, we can afford to pay... but I have a request. My little girl is my heart. If there is a mess, please help protect me. Our Fan family will record this favor..." After saying that, he bowed deeply.

Someone said that if you don’t talk about people during the day and don’t talk about ghosts at night, sometimes you can come whatever you are afraid of. Just as the two of you were biting your ears and discussing, you suddenly ran back from the front of the caravan. When you looked carefully, you saw that it was the guy sent by the caravan to fight for outposts.

It was already dark now, and the setting sun pressed the ridge to put the last ray of sunshine on the trade road. With this ray of sunshine, people clearly saw that the guy was running slower and slower and his pace became more and more staggering.

"The shopkeeper... there are bandits in front of them, and there are bandits..." The whole person slammed straight on the road, and a feather arrow was inserted on it from behind. The guy kicked his legs and saw that he couldn't save him anymore.

The crowd was silent for three seconds, and it seemed as if time had stopped for three seconds. Then the caravan suddenly became a furious, everyone was screaming, looking for a place to cover like a headless fly. The brave ones knew to cover with weapons, and the brave ones even scared their pants.

"Ma Xiaoliu is dead! Ma Xiaoliu is actually dead. Bodhisattva helps..."

"I have long said that I would ask the escort agency to protect you, but you didn't listen. Why are you talking about the safety of this path? You're stupid now..."

"It's Ermaozi, the bandits attracted by Ermaozi. Kill him to avenge everyone..."

"You fart, you won't kill you anymore, now you're going to kill. Please wait for the bandits to take revenge... Mr. Xiao, Grandpa Xiao, say something, stop killing people, let's buy the travel expenses..."

"It's useless to ask him. I want me to say that it is the bad luck brought by the real foreign devils. They dare to set fire to the evil demons in Beijing, and they all carry ghost soldiers on them. Such people are the bad luck brought by him. Bah..."

The scene was completely chaotic. Xiao Letian looked at the guys who were kowtowing to him, and suddenly a feeling of extreme unreality appeared in his heart, as if he was playing a three-dimensional game with extremely high simulation. Now Xiao Letian is completely trapped in it and cannot extricate himself.
