From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 871

Raid.

Raid became the most common theme on Dongfan Island today.

Everyone was running, rushing, and in a hurry.

Busy escaping, busy catching undercovers, busy passing messages, busy encircling and annihilating the enemy.

But there was only one team that was different, they were busy panning for gold.

"Yuntu and Yunya have finally done something useful over the years!"

Heishan Heihu and others gathered in the woods, eating dry food and resting.

They headed northeast from Xingang Society and had already walked most of the way.

Along the way, they avoided the crowds and gradually became confused. Did everyone know about the news that Jilong Society had discovered the gold mine?

"Since Ye Qingying came, we seem to be marginalized. The priest said she has insight, but what insight is there?"

Heishan Heihu complained: "What's wrong with being able to recite a few Bible passages? What's wrong with being able to preach? In the end, she is just a woman and can't accomplish anything."

He was full of jealousy. He was afraid that Ye Qingying's appearance would completely replace his position in the church, thus affecting his inheritance of Xingang Society.

Fortunately, Yuntu and Yunya rushed back overnight and explained the news of the gold mine.

As long as you dig the gold mine before others, you will definitely get a reward, and you can also get the appreciation of the priest and the Dutch again. The position of priest will belong to you.

"After eating, speed up the journey and try to reach Jilong Society tomorrow morning."

Heishan Heihu stood up and stretched. He felt that he was in good condition. Although he was tired from the days of traveling, he had a goal after all.

The gold mine is just ahead.

But at this moment, his brows suddenly frowned, and he turned around and looked outside.

Outside the woods, dozens of Dutchmen had surrounded them, holding up their flintlock rifles, ready to shoot at any time.

Black Mountain Black Tiger was startled and said quickly: "They are our own people! They are our own people! Don't shoot!"

This roar scared the young and middle-aged people of Xingang Society present, and they all retreated.

Lucas rode over on horseback, his eyes were sharp, and he said slowly: "You hid really well!"

Black Mountain Black Tiger was stunned for a moment, then said: "It turned out to be Captain Benson, I am Black Mountain, we have met before."

Lucas said: "So I said you hid well enough."

"Usually you are the most loyal native, who knew you were an undercover agent of the Jin Dynasty."

"You covered up very well, you are good at calculating, and even sent a female missionary team to cover up and attract our attention."

"It's a pity that because of the changes in the situation in Jilong Society, you couldn't hide on the road, and finally you were exposed."

Black Mountain Black Tiger was confused. What is Lord Lucas talking about?

He asked in confusion, "Captain Benson also knows about the gold mine?"

Lucas glanced at him and said, "I'm really tired of being deceived. Your words are indeed very solid and flawless."

"But... you can't deceive me!"

He smiled grimly, grinning with murderous eyes: "I have been here for more than 20 years, and I have seen all kinds of means and strategies."

"In similar struggles, I have accumulated rich experience, and these experiences tell me that the best way to deal with strategies is... to kill!"

He raised his gun, pointed it at the forehead of Black Mountain Black Tiger, and pulled the trigger directly.

At the same time, dozens of guards also pulled the trigger.

More than 60 young and middle-aged people from Xingang Society who went to Jilong Society to pan for gold were hit by a round of bullets before they could figure out what was going on, and a large number of them fell on the spot.

The rest screamed, their courage was broken, and they ran away directly.

"Be sure to kill them all, don't leave any trouble behind."

Lucas said coldly, and his heart gradually became at ease.

The undercover has been killed, it's time to deal with Zhou Yuan.

Time has been wasted long enough, it's time to go to Jilong Society.

The guards came up to report: "Captain, four of them have escaped. The forest here is dense, and they are scattered and can't be caught."

Lucas waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter if there are a few small figures left. Jilong Society is the most important."

...

Having deep internal strength is also good. Chu Feifan has recovered a lot after just one night of sleep.

At least it didn't hurt the real vital parts. For him, they were all minor injuries.

"Then why did I look like I was going to die yesterday? It's really strange."

Chu Feifan scratched his head, his face full of confusion.

Zhou Yuan said: "That's because of excessive blood loss. If you stop the bleeding in your chest and then go on, it won't be so serious."

"In addition, the psychological effect also confused you."

Chu Feifan was a little embarrassed. He coughed twice before saying: "After all, it's a gun. I don'tIt's too easy to judge the injury, but fortunately nothing serious happened. "

"What should we do now? It is said that Lucas, that bastard, has summoned a full 18,000 people. The dozens of us are not enough to fill their teeth."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "In the letter that the second sister gave me, there are helpers for us."

Chu Feifan said, "How many people?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Hundreds."

"Nonsense!"

Chu Feifan glared and said, "A few hundred people against 18,000, you think you are a god."

As soon as the voice fell, Cai Husheng hurried in from outside.

He said anxiously, "No, the other families in Jilong Society are a little restless. They are ready to move and seem to attack us."

"We have to make a decision immediately."

Zhou Yuan raised his head and smiled slowly, "You see, they are not afraid of fighting, but they are just afraid of fighting with the Dutch. ”

“Now they want to attack us, hand us over to the Dutch, and then they can atone for their crimes.”

Chu Feifan shouted, “Stop yelling, this is not the time to joke around, we have to find a solution quickly.”

Zhou Yuan sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

After drinking it, he smiled and said, “Why are you panicking, Cai Husheng? Just tell those families that we will leave in two days, so that they won’t get excited.”

“Yes…”

Cai Husheng couldn’t care less now. He didn’t know what Zhou Yuan was going to do, he just knew… it was best not to fight.

Chu Feifan looked at Zhou Yuan in confusion and said, “Don’t tell me that you saw the letter yesterday and thought of a plan today.”

Zhou Yuan said, “Is this strange?”

“King of France, you still don’t understand me after all.”

“In fact, the wars I have experienced in the past are not the wars I am best at. "

"To recover the Central Plains, we need to capture cities and territories. To fight against the Eastern Tartars, we need to defend the natural moat. To fight against the Mongols, we need to fight bloody battles on the grasslands, including the previous water battles. In fact, I am not good at any of them."

Chu Feifan said, "Then what are you good at?"

Zhou Yuan said indifferently, "The vertical and horizontal interweaving between mountains and hills, small-scale encounters and ambushes, and harassment battles using terrain. In essence... I am good at guerrilla warfare."

"In fact, since we killed the forty musketeers guarding us, I have already been a tiger returning to the mountains."

"This mountain is my territory."

"Lucas is very smart and good at fighting, but in the mountains, he is not even worthy of carrying my shoes."
