The British Consulate is located in the Hankou Concession and is guarded by twenty British soldiers. It is not easy to sneak in without anyone noticing. The talkative apprentice only knows that James is locked up in the Consulate, but does not know the exact location.
It was even more difficult for James to get experimental data.
Chen Hao was glad that he had brought Lin Heier and Cuiyun Niang. Both beauties were masters of high and low, and only they could get in. But there was another problem. If they were discovered sneaking into the consulate, it would cause diplomatic problems.
The Empress Dowager Cixi had long been frightened by the foreigners. If she ordered a thorough investigation, she would be in trouble if she was targeted by the court's top spies.
No matter what, Chen Hao had to go to the consulate, but he had to try not to leave any clues, otherwise Xu Jianyin might be implicated. There were still two hours before dark, so Chen Hao ordered Cui Yunniang and the two of them to sneak into the concession and check out the location.
The three of them went together in the evening.
In the Huo family's headquarters in Hanyang City, Huo Qubing also got clues about the mission. He had a lot of people and found all the NPCs who were in contact with Xu Jianyin in the shortest time. After listening to the report from his men, he ordered a player: "Ah
Tong Mu, you take people to check out the settlement, then gather the brothers in Hanyang City who are good at Qinggong, and prepare for action tonight."
Huo Qubing finally gave up asking Chen Hao for help. He felt that this mission was mainly about lurking, and fighting might not be useful. Asking Chen Hao for help would have to be paid, and it might be bad if he was not one of his own, so there was no need at all.
As night fell, Chen Hao in the inn and Huo Qubing in the mansion began to make arrangements, and both of them decided to personally participate in the operation. Chen Hao's lightness skills were far inferior to Lin Heier and Cuiyun Niang. There was no need to become a burden, but he had
The reason why they had to go. Neither Cui Yunniang nor Lin Heier spoke English. After finding the imprisoned James, they would definitely have to have a simple communication with James. If they could not communicate, they would not be able to get the test data.
Chen Hao's cultural attributes are not low, but he has never learned English in the game. For the evening task, he found a tutor to learn a few words that may be used. After having accurate information, Huo Qubing did not send anyone to monitor him.
He, he found a Japanese soldier near Hanyang to teach the people. Even if there was an accident when he broke into the consulate, no one would think of him.
Huo Qubing selected five elite men to participate in the mission, and he personally led the team. The group wore night clothes and left the house. In the dead of night, there was no pedestrian in the concession, and the six of Huo Qubing successfully arrived near the consulate.
Chen Hao and three others were also lurking not far away. Huo Qubing did not notice them, but they watched every move of Huo Qubing and the six others. He couldn't help but get a little entangled. If he took action in front of Huo Qubing and the others, the six people would be exposed at the critical moment.
It will drag you down. If you wait for Huo Qubing and others to take action first, if they succeed, the smokeless gunpowder formula will be useless.
In Chen Hao's memory, Huo Qubing was successful, so he absolutely could not wait for Huo Qubing to take action first. After making up his mind, he signaled Cuiyunniang and Lin Heier to go around to the back of the consulate. Cuiyunniang jumped onto the wall, and then hung a rope.
Chen Hao and Lin Heier pulled up, and the three of them entered the consulate smoothly.
Huo Qubing didn't have an expert like Cui Yunniang on his side, so they didn't consider entering from the back and had no choice but to guard the front door. There were two sentries at the door of the consulate. The two sentries were not very vigilant and looked sleepy.
It's not difficult to deal with them.
Chen Hao and the other three people shuttled through the consulate. They didn't know where James lived, so they could only search from room to room. The talkative apprentice told James's appearance, and the three of them could only try their luck according to the description.
The first time he came to a bedroom, Lin Heier would release incense to stun the people inside, and then enter the room to check.
When the three of them came to a room at the corner, there was a sound of snoring in the room. Lin Heier put out the smoke and the three of them walked in. After lighting the candles, a tall foreign man with a height of over 1.8 meters was exposed.
Lying naked on the bed, Lin Heier and Cuiyun Niang blushed and turned their heads hurriedly.
Chen Hao looked at it for a moment. The foreign man he discovered was similar to the apprentice's description. Unsurprisingly, he should be James. He picked up the clothes he put aside and covered the foreigner, and took out a dagger and pointed it at James.
At the neck, he also signaled Lin Heier to remove James' scent.
James opened his eyes and found that there was another person in front of him. He opened his mouth to scream but Chen Hao covered his mouth. Feeling the coldness on his neck, James hurriedly shook his head to indicate that he would not resist, and Chen Hao let go
He opened his hand and asked in a deep voice: "James?"
James glanced at the dagger on his neck in fear, nodded submissively, and whispered: "Who are you?"
Chen Hao didn't know many English words. When he said the word "test data", James finally understood his purpose. James kept cursing in his heart. He heard that the Qing Dynasty in the east was full of gold, and he came all the way to touch it.
By luck, I finally found a job in a gunpowder factory, and the pay was very generous. However, I was placed under house arrest by my country's consulate after only one month of working there.
James signed an agreement when he entered the gunpowder factory. His monthly salary was three hundred oceans. If he cooperated with Xu Jianyin to develop smokeless gunpowder, he would receive a reward of three thousand oceans. Three thousand oceans was already a sum of money.
He made a huge sum of money, and he worked hard every day to do gunpowder experiments just for this reward. When he was about to succeed, he was stopped by the consulate.
James was no longer so afraid after learning about Chen Hao's purpose. He held out three fingers and said the word "reward". Chen Hao had made full preparations before arriving and knew that Xu Jianyin promised to give James three thousand dollars after the development was successful.
A lot of money, so he happily poured out three thousand yuan from the sack on the table, and then handed the paper and pen to James.
James shook his head. He took out a stack of white paper from the bedside table, which was densely packed with data. Chen Hao took the stack of paper and checked the attributes to confirm that it was the mission item he needed. The data was handed over to him.
After giving it to Xu Jianyin, Xu Jianyin can develop smokeless gunpowder.
Item name: James’ test data
Item introduction: The data of James trying to prepare smokeless gunpowder every day while working at Hanyang Steel Pharmaceutical Factory
Item attributes: This task is a special task item, and no attributes are displayed.
After putting away the drawings, Chen Hao shook the dagger at James, then covered his mouth, indicating with his movements that James must not leak it. After James nodded, Chen Hao and the other two left his room and were preparing to make original plans.
When they were returning, Cuiyun Niang suddenly whispered: "Sir, those strangers killed the sentries at the door. I'm afraid there will be trouble after we leave."
Chen Hao couldn't help but feel a headache. If there were no dead people in the consulate, this mission would be very smooth. James came to China just to seek money. After getting paid, he would definitely not tell anyone about someone sneaking into the consulate, but
There will definitely be an investigation after the two soldiers die in the consulate, and James will probably provide clues.
After the British Consulate learned that the murderer was trying to obtain James' experimental data, it would definitely lodge a protest with the Qing government, and Xu Jianyin would also be investigated. The Empress Dowager Cixi was afraid of foreigners, and even Zhang Zhidong would not be able to protect the foreigners if they were killed.
When Xu Jianyin lived, whoever gave Xu Jianyin the drawings would be the murderer.
Huo Qubing unintentionally got into trouble with Tianjin. In his memory, he successfully completed the mission because he killed James after obtaining the blueprint. The British Consulate allowed him to escape because the soldiers protested against killing, but no evidence was found.
Pass a tribulation.
Chen Hao made a decision in an instant. He whispered to Lin Heier: "The foreigner just now can't be kept. All the foreigners in the consulate, except the remaining eighteen soldiers, will be killed."
"As commanded."
Lin Heier used to be the eldest sister of a prostitute. She got excited when it came to killing foreigners. Of course she had no sympathy for the foreigners in the consulate. There were ten bedrooms in the consulate, eight of which had people in them, but they were all occupied by Lin Heier.
Hei'er fainted. Lin Hei'er easily killed seven foreigners and then entered James' room. James saw her leaving and returning, and when he opened his mouth to ask, she cut his carotid artery with a knife.
After Lin Heier neatly dealt with the eight foreigners, he came to Chen Hao and said, "Sir, should we kill those foreign soldiers on the first floor? I have a scent..."
Chen Hao shook his head and said: "No need, we will wait here for a while, Yun Niang, prepare the rope, we are ready to leave at any time."
Chen Hao ordered the killing of all the foreigners on the second floor not because he was bloodthirsty. His purpose was to obtain experimental data. Two sentries died in the consulate. If only James was killed on the second floor, clues would be left. He stopped Lin Hei
Er killed the eighteen soldiers on the first floor because he wanted to frame the incident and blame Huo Qubing for this incident.
Huo Qubing had threatened him many times in the past few days. Although Chen Hao tolerated it at the time, he certainly felt unhappy. There were so many people killed in the consulate this time. Putting the blame on Huo Qubing would not only free him from suspicion, but also give Huo Qubing a hard time.
.
Huo Qubing also has an official status in Jingbei, and is highly appreciated by Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang. But if he kills a foreigner, even Zhang Zhidong can't protect him. If nothing else, Huo Qubing will become a wanted person of the imperial court, and he will not continue to do so in the future.
It is impossible to be an official and get tasks from the government.
After Huo Qubing and his six men killed the sentries, they tiptoed to the first floor and saw eighteen soldiers sleeping in bunks on the first floor. After hesitating for a moment, he did not take action. Killing foreigners was a big deal, and killing two might have caused a diplomatic turmoil.
It would be more trouble if he killed twenty of them. Huo Qubing was very aware of this.
Huo Qubing and his group of six people walked up the stairs. At this moment, Chen Hao, who was upstairs, suddenly pulled out the shell gun and pulled the trigger. A crisp gunshot broke the tranquility of the night sky. After firing the shot, Chen Hao did not delay at all.
Immediately, he and Lin Heier came to the window on the second floor. He and Lin Heier fell to the ground along the rope. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
