We even saw blood flowing out from Mr. Cayenne's fingers, falling drop by drop to the ground, accumulating in a big puddle. Mr. Cayenne didn't even bother to deal with the injury. This shows that the previous battle was indeed fierce.
Extremely, not easy.
Facing Mr. Cayenne’s inquiry, Fang Linyan shook his head and said:
"No, the security on the other side is very tight."
Mr. Cayenne said calmly:
"In order to help your people survive this period of time, I have already used all my cards. If you have no other choice, we will have no choice but to wait for death when the time is up."
Fang Linyan took a deep look at Mr. Cayenne, and then said unceremoniously:
"You are doing your best for your own life! You are not helping Wang Wu and the others, because once they die, do you think you will be spared?"
Mr. Cayenne suddenly threw away the cigarette butt and raised his voice:
"Do you think I want to get into this damn place?"
Fang Linyan said calmly:
"If they hadn't rescued you, you and your people would be dead now. How could you still be here arguing with me?"
Mr. Cayenne suddenly raised his head and glared directly at Fang Linyan. The two looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and their eyes almost collided with sparks. But in the end, Mr. Cayenne took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out:
"I can live, but Xu Dabeard and Orihime will definitely die."
He spoke first, which meant that he had surrendered to a certain extent.

at the same time,
Just five or six kilometers away,
Among the temporarily established war headquarters,
The smell of vomit and alcohol still lingered in the air, and the tables and stools remained as messy as before. The leftovers on the table attracted many flies and mosquitoes, buzzing in the air.
The urban construction in Kyoto is still in shambles. You can see from the window next to it that there is a smelly ditch more than 30 meters away, with a lot of domestic garbage floating in it, and even a dead dog in the quilt.
It was swollen from soaking, and its belly was bulging, as if it would explode with a bang if you poked it.
There are still people coming and going here, but the people walking around are no longer the beautiful maids, but the Zuo Guan and the staff who are sweating profusely and panting slightly nervously. Some of them are looking at the battle map next to them, while others are constantly asking questions.
Writing telegram manuscripts.
All these changes were caused by an urgent telegram sent two hours ago.
The content of this urgent telegram is very sparse, with only eight words:
There seems to be a big change, and the peace talks are running into obstacles.
These eight words were like eight blows of a sap, hitting the heads of these arrogant and crazy Japanese generals and staff officers so hard that stars popped into their eyes!
So the carnival party came to an abrupt end! Everyone began to get busy, but they were all like headless flies, running around without knowing what to do.
Suddenly, a messenger came in a hurry. Probably because he was panicking and anxious, he tripped and fell when he passed by a table that had been a guest on the reception platform outside.
Immediately there was a "clattering" sound, and a table even fell down, and the white cloth that was hastily covered on the table also slipped directly. The white cloth on the table was stained with red wine, and it rolled on the ground again.
It looked like a shocking shroud stained with blood.
Without the cover of the white cloth, the table also revealed its old and mottled surface, exuding a rancid smell, just like this country that is trying to crawl out of the quagmire. It seems that there is a shiny fig leaf on the outside, but in fact
The inside is still rotting.
After falling down, the messenger turned pale in pain, but he gritted his teeth and limped up, then handed over the message in his hand:
"Urgent message from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! There is a suspected coup in the Qing Dynasty, and the specific situation is still being verified!"
(Note: In 1871, the Danish Dabei Company had already built a submarine cable from Hong Kong via Shanghai to Nagasaki. It has been more than 20 years ago. Therefore, it is not difficult for Japan to use its national efforts to quickly obtain domestic news from the Qing Dynasty.
Yes, because wireless telegraphy technology has not yet become popular, it is still a problem to make timely contact with sailing ships.)
Shan County, who received the telegram, looked livid. After reading it hastily, he immediately handed the telegram to the messenger:
"Give this telegram to Your Excellency Yin Teng immediately!"
Immediately afterwards, more information was sent via telegram:
"A military minister of the Qing Dynasty returned the banknotes we sent out. He said that it was difficult to continue to implement the previous secret agreement, and the reason turned out to be unfounded!"
"German Minister to China Kimmich said that the peace talks have now fallen into many obstacles, as difficult as the December ice on the Inn River. Li Gongzhang overturned everything he had promised before. In this regard, the base
Mr. Misch said he was sorry, but that's politics."
"The French Minister also heard that there seemed to be some problems within the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, these problems are not friendly to Japan at present. The French Minister expressed regret for this."
"Here is a telegram from Shanghai, which states that the Qing's coup seems to be related to their empress dowager."
"..."
Seeing this piece of bad news coming like snowflakes, the muscles on General Shanxian's face twitched slightly. He just felt that thousands of things were pouring into his brain, causing his brain to become chaotic.
It's a mess.
This guy was walking around in his office like a trapped animal, completely forgetting Kang's passionate words at the reception:
"The entire Asia is destined to be Japan's Asia. We should completely remove any obstacles that stand in the way of the rise of the Japanese Empire--either with samurai swords or large pieces of lead.
bomb!"
Soon, another telegram was sent. Shanxian opened it and took a look. He couldn't help but slap the table and shout loudly about filial piety:
"idiot!
Everyone in Xuanyang Society should commit seppuku! Why was such outrageous wrong information sent here!
Look! It actually says that the most powerful court envoy and the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty are both dead."
After he finished venting his filial piety loudly, he took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down. Then he rang the bell to summon a confidential staff officer, suppressing his anger and saying:
"Where did this information from Kawaguchi of Genyosha come from?"
The confidential staff officer immediately went to check the information, and after a while he turned back and said:
"The Kawaguchi Harukai who sent this information is a senior spy. He got the information from the British special envoy William. The intelligence Kawaguchi got back before has been verified, and most of it is very credible.
"
Shanxian resisted the urge to roar, pressed his hand hard on his painful temples, and then said doubtfully:
"If there was a coup in the Qing Dynasty, it would definitely happen in the capital. Why should we believe the news from William in Shanghai?"
The confidential staff officer demonstrated superior qualities:
"Although British Special Envoy William is still in Shanghai, he has a very close relationship with Robert Hurd, the Chief of Customs and Excise."
"As we all know, Mr. Hurd has survived in China's political environment for 40 years, and it is expected that he will continue to stay, so the reliability of Hurd's news is very high...
....."
The staff officer was still talking non-stop when an orderly soldier suddenly rushed in from outside. He seemed to have completely lost his mind and rushed in without even knocking on the door.
The messenger's face was pale, as if he was completely lost, and he was dirty all over, and his forehead was bleeding. He had obviously fallen hard several times along the way, but he didn't even notice it.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!
"
"After the Prime Minister saw the telegram we sent, he vomited blood and then fell unconscious."
"I heard that something happened to the Prime Minister's family. The doctor said that the situation is very bad. Japan... Japan is going to sink!"
***
According to the development of history, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1898 was actually more like a game between Ri Gong-chan and Prime Minister Hirobumi Yin Teng.
Both of them are among the most outstanding figures in the country, both have great prestige, can barely bring together various forces, and both can be regarded as core figures in the country.
Once something happens to them, the political and military blank space left behind will be enough for domestic politicians to fight for more than half a year or even a year like wild dogs fighting for a bone before they can finally stand out.
The chaos generated during the competition means endless internal strife and political disputes, which is of no benefit to the entire country, let alone a small and weak country that is still at war.
Fang Linyan also didn't expect that his impromptu little fight was actually just to stop Li Gongzhang's peace talks, but he also didn't expect that the butterfly effect would actually involve Yin Teng Bowen.
At this time, his mind was speeding up to consider the possibility of bringing Wang Wu and others out alive.
But unfortunately, the Mobius mark is not omnipotent. If Fang Linyan wants to escape alone, he has great hope. But if he wants to transform into a living person and take away the dying Li San and Wang Wu together, it will be difficult.
It’s getting even more difficult.
Seeing time passing by quickly, more than half an hour had passed. Mr. Cayenne found Fang Linyan again and said seriously:
"Is there really nothing you can do?"
Fang Linyan sighed and shook his head slightly:
"I won't play tricks with you. I should have no problem escaping alive, but it will be very difficult for me to take you with me."
Mr. Cayenne stared into Fang Linyan's eyes for a while, and then said seriously:
"I do! I can even ensure that Wang Wu and Li San can be taken away in time, but I am missing a person who can break the line and 300,000 universal points."
Fang Linyan was not surprised after hearing this. Mr. Cayenne was not a fuel-efficient person. He had known this for a long time. He must have made such a request at this moment after careful consideration, so Fang Linyan said:
"Please tell me more specifically."
Mr. Cayenne took out a prop very simply. This prop is a golden plot-quality thing. Its name is: Any Door, and the number of uses is 2/4.
The introduction of this prop is that after using this prop, an arbitrary door will be generated in place.
The initial energy of any door is 5%, and it will absorb the surrounding energy for recharging. The recharging speed is not fixed. At the fastest, 1% of the charging progress can be obtained every 10 seconds, but at the slowest,
, it is estimated that it will take forty seconds to obtain 1% charging progress.
However, if you are in a place with poor energy, you can also charge it by directly burning universal points. However, no matter which charging method is used, the charging speed of 1% in 10 seconds is already the limit. It will only be slower but not faster. This is also
The reason why he asked Fang Linyan for 300,000 universal points.
When any door is successfully charged to 50%, the holder will get a holographic map within ten square kilometers nearby when entering the door. You can select the transmission location of any door on the holographic map, and then after the charging is completed,
The holder places it at the designated location.
If the holder wants to transport multiple people, he needs to charge an additional 10% or more. To put it more directly, if Mr. Cayenne wants to run away alone, he can enter by charging 50% of any door.
If he wants to take one person away, then he has to charge it to 60%, two people to go to 70%, three people to go to 80%... and so on, he can only take five people away at most.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as the charge of any door can reach 100%, Mr. Cayenne can take Wang Wu and Li San with him in addition to the female ninja and his cronies, the bearded horse bandit.
I'm really not bragging.
Of course, the most important thing is that when the arbitrary door starts to charge, it will make a loud sound and cannot be stopped. Therefore, just like Fang Linyan performed the ritual before, it needs people to guard it, and once the arbitrary door is attacked
After that, it will take ten seconds to re-stabilize the internal energy balance and execute the transmission.
Fang Linyan asked again and again about this, and Mr. Cayenne told him that the Any Door was not weak, and of course it was definitely not indestructible.
It has a double layer of defense. The enemy's attack must first break through the ion shield of any door with up to 1,000 health points, and then damage its core armor, which has five absolute health points.
To be honest, is this kind of defense strong? It is really strong.
However, considering that the enemy attacking it is likely to be the elite Japanese army defending Kyoto, such a defense seems so weak.
After thinking for less than five seconds, Fang Linyan simply traded all his common points to Mr. Cayenne:
"I only have so many universal points now. Although there are not 300,000 points, the difference should not be much, right?"
Mr. Cayenne didn't speak. He lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
Fang Linyan's words suddenly made him raise his head!
"I'll accept your conspiracy! Leave the portal to me, but you have to sign a contract with me that will be witnessed by space!"
Mr. Cayenne's eyes emitted a needle-like sharp light:
