Twenty-six, The Thieves (Part 2)

Twenty-six, The Thieves (Part 2)

From any perspective, Taoist Master Tuoquanzi is an extremely alternative cultivator.

Although this alternative Taoist priest was wearing a blue Taoist robe that was as smooth as flowing water, holding a simple blue whisk with a yellow yu, and a smooth yellow yu crown, he could not see a trace of elegant fairy-like Taoist priest, but instead was filled with evil spirits. Because this guy was eight feet tall, his waist was eight feet tall, his waist was eight feet long, his voice was like a copper bell, his face was like a pot, his face was like a piece of iron, he was like a piece of iron, and his brother was a noble-level man who could stand on his fist, his arms could run horses, and his food was buckets, and he was drinking. Rather than saying that he was like a Taoist priest who practiced immortals and elixirs, he was more like a gladiator or boxer who was brave and fierce in the arena all day long.

The two lines of red letters embroidered on his clothes made everyone look at each other: "The right way to disrupt the world and corrupt all wonders."

——I am a different monk who practices the path of Yangyang, and I am not ashamed of my special preferences.

As for the mount under the crotch of this macho Taoist priest, it is even more alternative than himself: a very fierce and cute giant white bear

This white bear weighs more than two tons, and it is taller than a person when lying on the verge. It usually looks furry and chubby, but when you walk, you can shake the earth and the mountains. At this time, under the sunset, your body is covered in white with a hazy golden color, which looks extremely cool and swaying.

——Of course, this bear has many shortcomings. The biggest problem is that it grows too féi and runs too slowly. It is only ten miles during daily patrols, which is not as good as an ordinary person's walking... so it is called "slow bear" by its owner.

However, this slow bear also has the advantage of slowness. First, the natural bear skin cushion is quite soft and comfortable, and can also be automatically heated and heated, and it will not cause riders to cause a funny and out-of-cord scene like "haze bear".

No matter from which perspective, this wonderful combination of Taoist riding a white bear is really eye-catching.

Therefore, although he was still a long way from the door of the bar at this time, he had already caused a stir in the bar - some new customers in the store rushed out to watch, and burst into screams one after another.

And those local old residents are no longer surprised - there may not be many people who know the name of the guy Tuoquanzi. But when it comes to the "Taoist riding a bear", as long as they are not newcomers, almost everyone knows it in Pudong.

After all, this performance artist who rides on bears all day long is a regular visitor in the Shanghai Governor's Office. He is very favored by the Black Japanese Lich Governor. He is almost like an aide or a si-man consultant. He is not very big and he is also a person with a little status.

However, if you ride such a cool white bear on the street, it will be easy to cause blockage of onlookers and js, so the thief springs usually only move in the forest in Pudong, and these people are never seen in the city on the other side - the Governor's Office is here anyway.

Some friends who are more familiar with him also know another identity of Tuoquanzi - although most of them think he is bragging.

I don’t know whether it’s luck or misfortune, but Lieutenant General Daniel happens to be one of these friends.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"...Hey, the bear riding family, why are you still wandering with your friends in Shanghai now?"

Daniel raised his beer glass and signaled a little to Thieves who were climbing down the bear's back, "...I heard from the newspaper that my senior brother Fu Quanzi led the entire sect to surrender to the court last month, and had seized the entire territory of Taiwan. He was named the Marquis of Yingzhou, the Emperor's inheritance, and the real person of Donghua... Why haven't you returned to the sect yet, and you can get an official position like a city lord?"

"......The senior brother Wuliang Tianzun is the senior brother, I am the third brother, I am the third brother, he walks on his Yangguan Road, I am the third brother, I am the third brother, I am the second brother, I am the second brother, I am the second brother, I am the second brother, I am the first brother, I am the first brother, I am the first brother, I am the first brother, I am the first brother, I am the first brother, I am the first brother, I am the first brother, I am the first brother,

When the macho monk who looked like a boxer heard this, he turned his head disdainfully and snorted, "...The real slaughter must dare to face the bleak life and face the blood that is dripping... How can he be discouraged and shaken for a momentary setback?"

"...Well, right, do you have to add another sentence next, but you haven't succeeded yet, and you still need to work hard? But we have known each other for so long, and we haven't seen you assassinate any senior official in the court, nor have you been involved in bombings. Even a serious speech has never been seen to say... What kind of family are you? It's almost the same to be a professional prisoner."

Lieutenant General Daniel raised his beer glass and shook it, "...want to have a beer together?"

"... I don't like this kind of thing that women and children drink with me, a man of dignity."

The macho Taoist priest Thiezu glanced at the glass of foamy golden beer, and asked the Shi girl for the strongest dwarf flame wine - this thing is usually not for drinking, but for burning bombs or high-temperature furnace fuel...

Then, amid the amazement of the drinkers, Tuoquanzi raised his neck and drank the glass of flame wine. Then he still had no blushing or breathing. Suxing directly called the barrel of "flowing flame" and slowly sucked it with wheat straw.

Moreover, while drinking strong wine that could burn the belly of ordinary people, he also joked to Daniel, "...Don't talk about my business. As the imperial envoy, you have been stranded here for more than half a year and have not seen you do anything, so why are you reluctant to return to your country to report?"

——This is really a pot that doesn’t open. When you mention your responsibility to organize the elf retreat and look at the latest news about the elf civil war in the newspaper, Lieutenant General Daniel immediately looked gloomy.

"...Ah, not only did I not be able to bring back one soldiers and one soldiers for Yongju Island, but instead provoked a new round of division and civil war in the country... How did I go back and report? Do you want me to be a scapegoat for Her Majesty, who made a decision on Hu 1, to go to military court for trial and death?"

Speaking of this, Daniel couldn't help but feel indignant—the bad idea of ​​organizing the second elf retreat was not what he thought of. The spice archipelago's bold independence was also a brainless edict issued by Her Majesty the Queen, asking them to return home unconditionally to sacrifice themselves for them... But the crime of you, you will definitely have to be exposed to the unlucky person.

What is this? Why is it that I am the one who suffers in the end?

As for the elves concession in Shanghai... it is simply the elves army prisoner war camp of the Naserel Empire

Although the concession garrison of the Naseril Empire did not manage this place strictly, and it could even be said that it was free to come and go, but the elves and expatriates here were willing to go back.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Among the official documents of the Elf Kingdom, the Elf Concession in Shanghai Port is a three-no project with no reports, no records, and no one knows. Lieutenant General Daniel also went to the Spice Islands before he learned that there were such a group of expatriates in the Xianglong Empire.

The reason for this strange phenomenon is that the original origin of this concession was too embarrassing for the Elf Kingdom. More than 20 years ago, in order to destroy the Far East colonization plan of the Naserel Empire, the Elf Kingdom sent a large fleet to expedition to the East. Then, due to a series of fatal mistakes such as the long attack of the Laoshirael army, the soldiers were exhausted, the generals were incompatible, and the command was incompetent. The Naserel Far East Fleet, the Admiral Perry, was wiped out in the East Sea by the entire army. More than 7,000 purebred elves and half-elves were unfortunately defeated and captured.

In order to resettle this large number of prisoners and prevent them from disturbing the Shanghai Concession, which had just begun to be built in Puxi, Admiral Perry ordered a prisoner of war camps between the Pudong wilderness on the other side of the Huangpu River, allowing them to use their talents and skills to support themselves, cultivate vegetable gardens for the concession and fleet officers and soldiers, and cultivate fruits and fragrances. At the same time, they also sent people to contact the government of the Elf Kingdom to discuss the ransom of prisoners of war.

Who would have thought that in order to conceal the defeat, the Elf Kingdom did not recognize the existence of these prisoners of war at all.

It turned out that it was the time when the church of Chevrolet, the god of revenge who mastered Yongju Island, was completely fighting with the traditional forces of the Golden Elf royal family. The expeditionary fleet sent to the Far East happened to be the old traditional aristocratic army that was the most loyal to the royal family. It was regarded as a thorn in the eyes by the military headquarters. It was worried that there would be no chance to solve it. Now that there is such a good opportunity, how could this thorn come back alive?

——In fact, the reason why Admiral Perry was able to easily achieve such a great victory was that the base camp of the Elf Army also made a lot of efforts behind the scenes... His own people were always very fierce and cruel in the back...

Therefore, the base camp of the Elf Army, which had succeeded in making plans, adopted the strategy of hiding the bells, and directly retired the Oriental Expeditionary Force on the roster, laying off employees on the spot in the enemy's prisoner of war camp, and then threw them in the East and let them die. However, the Golden Elf Royal Family, who was completely defeated in the political struggle and cruelly suppressed, and even the prince could be killed at will, was helpless.

As a result, the prisoner-of-war camp had to continue endlessly until it was completely integrated into an important part of the Shanghai Concession.

After a little indignation and confusion, the captured Elf Army soldiers were also surprised to receive quasi-citizen treatment from the concession authorities and promised not to sell them as slaves, so they settled down with peace of mind. In addition to the senior officers who returned to China one after another to continue to be loyal to the royal family and fought with the "usurpers" to the end, there were basically few officers and soldiers at the bottom who were thinking about going back - the elves prisoners of war were abandoned by their homeland and were homeless; while the concession was worried that there were too few Western immigrants and it was difficult to gain a foothold. In this way, they all took the needs...

Even after this, some elves political prisoners and exiles continued to flee here, causing the population of elves and semi-elves in this "illegal concession" to gradually expand to about 10,000. Only some of them were real wanted criminals, and most of them were persecuted by the Church of the God of Revenge, Chevrolets, and almost all of them had deep hatred for destroying their families.

If two or three years ago, when the Golden Elf Royal Family and the Chevrolet Church were fighting bloody battles, Lieutenant General Daniel wanted to fool some of the guys back in the name of revenge. If his eloquence was good enough, there might be a chance of success.

But now it is after the royal family and the Chevrolet Church have reached a reconciliation... No matter how much patriotism there is among these exiles, even if they still love their motherland, they will never be able to work hard for political persecution of their enemies.

Not to mention that the Chevrolets Church may not be willing to let go of these "remnants of the 1 party"

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Therefore, after exploring the details of this "elves concession", Lieutenant General Daniel was really helpless and had to drink all day long to drown his sorrows. He would have to count on one day. If it really didn't work, he would have to settle down here with those political prisoners.

Anyway, in order to save travel expenses, he had already dismissed the sailors who had accompanied him and sold the ships that had sailed here. In addition, he had a bribe from the Spice Islands, and wanted to make an apartment in this city to enjoy the peace and prosperity, so the money on hand should be more than enough.

——Although I would be a little unwilling to give up the title and official position I had won in half my life.

And this slim male Taoist priest, Thiequanzi, is a drinker whom Lieutenant General Daniel was lucky enough to meet when he was drinking to drown his sorrows here.

This person claims to be an oriental cultivator who is already very rare in this era. He is the second apprentice of the former head of the Yushan School in Taiwan. He is also a very fashionable party in recent years. In the end, this identity sounds very dangerous, but in fact it is already everywhere in Southeast Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Almost every place, there are passionate young people who disperse their leaflets. As long as you don’t put the leaflets into the yamen, there are usually no one who is full and can make trouble.

——For the people on the land of Xianglong Empire, the Great Jin court was originally considered a colonial regime that was conquered by foreign races, and was born with a thick barrier. Today, after the royal dragon vein was cut off for more than ten years and the world fell apart for more than twenty years, the government's actual control over the local area had become incredible. Almost apart from the rebellion with real swords and guns, they were too lazy to care about anything else. Even if you promote rebellion on the streets, the government usually only thinks that it is better to have less than more things, and it is better to leave it alone.

As for the legendary warning banners "Don't talk about state affairs", they usually only exist in the capital where powerful people gather...

Therefore, as long as you don’t feel dizzy and actually attack the yamen with bombs and muskets, a group of idle people caught lice in bars and teahouses and talked about rebellion and sanctions. It is actually very safe. For example, Taoist priest Thiequanzi likes to declare to his drinkers at the table: "... The people of our Celestial Empire have had the freedom to rise up and overthrow the court since ancient times, and have implemented this freedom more than once."

One day, a few yamen runners from Shanghai County happened to sit next to them. They heard clearly, but they didn't see any intention of arresting people.

But this kind of pride of giving instructions to the country and commanding the country between chatting and laughing, threatening to overthrow the court and being the master of the country, is really very, very pleasant. This has made the word "**" more and more fashionable in recent years, and there are more and more "** parties" that are true and false.

——How to say it? It is probably as fashionable as the "second-second disease" and the "angry youth" in another world...

Even the government is no exception - if all officials who have talked about rebellion and the emperor are arrested, the empire will immediately collapse.

Of course, these guys are usually giants of language and dwarfs of action. They can use their drunkenness to talk endlessly in the tavern and yard, winning a lot of cheers. But when it is really time to really need to hold their heads and raise the military flag to rebel, at least ninety-nine of the 100 "** families" will disappear. If one person can come out, it would be very good.

It is precisely for this reason that although almost everyone in the world felt that it was time for the imperial court to perish, the emperor of the Wanyan family still sat in the Golden Palace year after year to survive - even though he was miserable, he still maintained it.

Compared to the title of the ** Party that is neither reliable nor rare, the identity of the monk of the Thunderquanzi is more reliable. At least Lieutenant General Daniel has seen him perform the magic of flying with his own eyes on the sword and shrinking into an inch of the ground. Occasionally, he still opens the furnace and refines the alchemy at his residence, draws the talismans, and then takes it out for others to come to buy it. The huge white bear under his crotch is also regarded as a mount that only immortal monks can control.

Although many scholars questioned this, since the spiritual veins in the world were completely cut off and the spiritual energy was completely dispersed, the remaining immortal cultivators could only hide on several remaining spiritual veins on the mountains of Taiwan Island to survive. Unless they used talismans that had pre-filled spiritual power, they could not even use any Taoist magic and immortal techniques on other territory of the Central Plains and Heavenly Dynasty... How could this male Taoist priest, Thief Quanzi, be exception?

But this Taoist priest did use real Taoism many times in the Shanghai Concession, thousands of miles away from Taiwan. Although no one understood how he did it, he did it, which attracted a lot of curious eyes.

Thiezuko's other identity - the aide of the Black Sun Lich Governor, made him often meet many flatterers, hoping to open up the relationship with the Governor through his line... No matter what era, there is never a shortage of people who do public relations and run for officials.

Of course, since he is an aide to the governor of the Black Sun Lich, he sometimes has to do some things for the governor.

"...General Daniel, since you can't go back to your hometown, it's good for Suoxing to settle down here."

After drinking a bucket of strong wine, Thiefenzi waved his palm as big as a palm fan and patted Daniel's shoulder with a smile, which made the slender Golden Elf General bare his teeth and grinned in pain. "... It just so happened that there was a vacant position for militia training director in this concession, so I recommended you to the Governor. The Governor was very satisfied after reading your resume, so I asked me to take you over to show him."

"...This is a bit too sudden." Lieutenant General Daniel, who was unprepared, was stunned for a moment, "Can you think about it..."

"...Oh, what else do you think about such a good thing? Come with me quickly and meet the governor. If you go too late, you may not be sure that this rare and good location will be snatched by someone else."

When dealing with his friend Taoist Master Tuoquanzi, who has always been kind to the ancient Taoist, immediately curled his lips impatiently, threw a few gold coins out to check the bill, and then used brute force to clamp Daniel under his arm and dragged it away like a cat.
