C124 Gun at Midnight

Since the moment of its birth, mankind had faced all kinds of threats and resistance. The reason why ancient epoch humans fought with all kinds of wild beasts and different tribes was because they wanted to survive. A piece of meat, a clump of wild fruit, and even a brook can all be the cause of human rivalry.

Humans, after all, are highly intelligent species. Over time, they have discovered that the power of a group is greater than that of a single person. It is easier to live in groups, and easier to win battles." As a result, tribes appeared. Large tribes slowly annexed small tribes, and humans began a more efficient massacre in order to survive.

Then, when the Country appeared, the concept of Ethnic Group also appeared. The scale of the war became larger and larger, and there was even the phenomenon of killing one thousand enemies while killing eight hundred enemies. It was from that moment onwards that mankind came to terms with the idea of compromise.

Compromise is not a failure. It is a way for both sides to take a step back so that the conflict can be resolved. It is an act of human development that goes beyond war.

In the idealist mind, conflicts between nations, and wars between factions within the country, should be resolved by sitting at the negotiating table and compromising with each other.

Simply put, in all the political battles, the various factions felt displeased, but the end result allowed the various factions to carry out their plans. This was the greatest benefit brought about by the compromise. If there is no compromise in politics and forces on all sides are at odds, then the end result must be war.

The reason was very simple. If you wanted to live, others had to live as well. If you didn't want others to live, the result would be fierce resistance. It was just like how France Marshal Fuxi, after the end of the war, exclaimed in shock after reading the provisions of the "Versailles Contract", 'This is not peace, this is only a twenty-year armistice'.

He could tell with a glance that such a harsh truce could only make the Germany hate the English and French even more. The next war was inevitable. As expected, Germany Popular, who had suffered all the humiliation, pushed Xi Tele forward and at the same time, brought about a greater calamity.

Compromise sounds like a good political remedy, but in real politics, compromise is often the hardest thing to come by, because the selfishness and greed of the human root are magnified by the struggle. Who is willing to give up their own interests?

The most important reason was that those who proposed political compromises were usually the most undesirable ones. Most of them ended up in a miserable state. For example, the famous reformers in the history of the China, Shang Ma, Wang Anshi and even the Ming Dynasty's Zhang Ju Zheng all did not end up well in the end.

The lesson of the past was right in front of him. If his descendants wanted to walk this path, how could they not think twice?

Xiao Letian's and Ban Benlongma's dream was to be a successful reformer. In the past three thousand years, everyone had hoped that their Home Country's national destiny would fall. But reform must involve redistribution of benefits, a sensitive minefield that cannot be more sensitive.

You want to be neutral among all the forces? Do you want all the powers to give up some benefits so that the Country can be industrialized and modernized? As long as you dare to do this, you will become Enemy of all forces.

Ban Benlongma's death is a mystery, but it is also necessary to consider his death from a political point of view. gentleman died. Their death was a pity, but it was also a certainty.

You want the Country to be rich and strong? You want to be industrialized? Do you want compulsory education to be universal? Want a modern Army? Hehe, how can I do this without money? Money didn't fall from the sky out of nowhere. Other than establishing a colony to rob the weaker Ethnic Group, the only other way to raise it was to raise it from within the country. However, the wealth within the country was not without Master, it had long been divided up by the various forces.

If you dare to carry out reforms, I will take your life. In that case, from the moment Tan Si and the others started to do things differently, they were already destined to die.

Ban Benlongma's question wasn't unsolvable, but Xiao Letian didn't want to tell him that on one hand, he didn't have the obligation to answer Japanese's questions, and on the other hand, this was a way that was too demonic. The banquet lasted until 12: 00 AM, but there was no discussion about it.

Not to mention he was not afraid, but actually, even Xiao Letian's heart was in turmoil right now. Everything he had done in the glume had touched upon the reverse scale of the court, and not to mention that he had American citizen's protection, if the Manchu was to kill him, with his current strength, it would not even be worth looking at.

"Time, what I lack now is time …" Xiao Letian's mutterings alarmed Xiao Hexin beside him. Besides Shi Dakai, this young man understood his strategic intentions the best.

"Yeah, I wanted to secretly get Official's identity from King Chantale so that I could trade with Americans, but I didn't expect this group of Japanese to be so crazy that they could cause such a commotion …" Sun Tie scratched his head.

"I estimate that in four or five days, those men of the Capital City will find out about this news. Who knows how the entire court will explode …" Just as the two of them were analyzing the situation, a dull explosion suddenly sounded out in the dead of night. The sound did not come far behind Xiao Letian and the others.

Hm? All of the guards present felt goosebumps rise all over their bodies. Wasn't this just a gunshot? Before Xiao Letian and the others could react, an ear-piercing scream came from the Japanese-styled courtyard not far behind them. The chaos had happened without any warning.

"Protect mister... to form a defensive formation to protect mister! "

"Bullshit! Why are you protecting me? It's Ban Benlongma. Something happened to Dracunculide. Go back immediately …" Xiao Letian took out his handgun and rushed back while smoke was already starting to come out from the courtyard.

The current Xiao Letian was the most important person in Naga Harbor, and he had a total of fifty guards who stayed close to him for a long time. These guards equipped with Western Speargun, upon seeing Xiao Letian charge, all of them rushed forward to protect Prime Minister Xiao at the center.

The first one to rush into the courtyard was of course Green Forest Expert Xiang Shaolong. Dragon Lord didn't directly rush into the room to save the man, but jumped onto the room and carefully observed the enemy's situation. As a result, he saw a familiar figure running at full speed towards the north.

"Protect mister well, I'm going to chase after Enemy. Which damn female ninja did it …" Then, he stomped his feet and charged in the direction Mistborn disappeared in.

At this time, Xiao Letian and the others also rushed into the courtyard. They saw Ban Benlongma, whose body was covered with blood, leaning against a tree in the main hall. At this time, the backyard was also set ablaze. Many servants were desperately trying to extinguish the fire.

Xiao Letian rushed over and gently hugged Ban Benlongma. He looked down and saw a bullet hole in the middle of Ban Benlongma's chest bleeding. Ban Benlongma's consciousness had already become blurry.

"Yes …" Yes... It was done by Japanese... "New selection..." Before he could finish, the dragon horse's head tilted and it fainted.

"Xiao Hexin!" Immediately remove the door plate and spread the quilt... To carry Dracunculide to wharf, there must be a Western medicine on the Western Merchant ships. Only Western medicine could save him now … Luo Huo, blow the gathering horn right away and release emergency fireworks. The entire city will be locked up by Assassin. Assassin is Japanese … " At this moment, a figure climbed into the backyard while kneeling.

"Your Excellency, I'm ninja Fog Concealed Ghosts from Shimadzu... "I'm Sakamoto Your Excellencyson's bodyguard, I know who did it …" Zhan Musi rushed up and kicked him in the head. "Fuck, isn't Davy your Sisters? "You are all the same …"

Fog Concealed Ghosts kowtowed, "No, we are not the same. She has already betrayed the Shimadzu and is now my Enemy … Also, I know who provided the flame gun, it's E Balang. I will never forget his figure … "

This matter was too passive for him. If Ban Benlongma died, those assassins would definitely blame it on his head, and the last word of Liu Tie, "New selection", would it be referring to the New Selection Group of the Dechuan? The New Selection Group who loved to do assassinations the most.

Right now, the courtyard was in chaos. The guards carefully lifted Ban Benlongma's body, no one noticed the screaming maids, and they didn't even notice the dangerous situation where Fog Concealed Ghosts was extremely close to Xiao Letian.

Fog Concealed Ghosts secretly looked at Xiao Letian, who was only three meters away from him. His eyes revealed a trace of viciousness. If he were to attack now, he would definitely have a 70% chance of killing Xiao Letian.

"F * ck you little scoundrel, you dare peep at Prime Minister …" Just as Fog Concealed Ghosts was about to attack, Luo Huo noticed that something was wrong. The Speargun in his hand used a magic trick and pushed it on Kid's head. "Kid, what are you trying to do?" "Why are we so close …"

"Ah!" Suddenly, Liu Huan, who was standing behind Luo Huo, roared. At this moment, a maid who was crying just now rushed over like a cat. Her sharp nails cut Xiao Letian's shirt in front of his chest.

"Holy sh * t!" "And there's also Assassin …" Xiao Letian fell backwards, while the ferocious woman's hands were like tiger claws as she pounced towards Xiao Letian's throat.

"Protect adults!" Amidst cries of surprise, 4-5 figures rushed over and blocked female ninja's attack with their bodies. They never would have thought that female ninja would have poison in his nails. Soldiers, who had his neck cut off, turned green on the spot and died from the poison.

"F * ck!" A group of Japan lunatic … " The Colt revolver in Xiao Letian's hand finally showed its power. With two "pa pa pa" sounds, one gun hit female ninja's forehead and the other shot hit his chest. female ninja fell to the ground with a thump.

"Hurry, hurry, help me unlock the leather armour, be careful of the poison above …" Only now did people realize that Xiao Letian was wearing a very thin leather armour. Dragon Lord had forced him to wear it, but he didn't expect to save Xiao Letian's life at such a crucial moment.

After all, his nails were not as sharp as the Steel. The tough leather armour had protected Xiao Letian's vitals, and Traveller was indeed lucky. Arrest all the servants in the courtyard and interrogate them. Damn, this is the kind of assassination that little Japan would do! "

Under the threat of dozens of Speargun, all of the twenty or so servants in the courtyard were captured, including Fog Concealed Ghosts. The group quickly retreated towards the wharf, where the guards were the most concentrated.

At this time, the night sky had already erupted with a few bright fireworks, the low and heavy Bullhorn also sounded out, and very quickly, the entire Na Ba Cheng was in an uproar again. Countless teams of Soldiers began to converge towards Xiao Letian.

It was a pity that this woman managed to escape. However, when he was in pursuit, Dragon Lord accidentally found a cave that was hidden away. What was surprising was that E Balang was actually hiding in the cave.

How could E Balang be a match for Dragon Lord? In a matter of seconds, E Balang was tied up into a dumpling by Dragon Lord and they carried the whole way back to wharf.

"Reporting to adults, this weakling already confessed halfway. He admitted that the flame gun Mistborn used to assassinate was provided by him. This fellow is like a f * cking mouse, hiding things all over the place. I found two big barrels of flame gun in his cave …"

Xiao Letian didn't even bother to look at this kind of person who would die. He waved his hand and said, "Lock him up. Take out all the secrets in his stomach for me."
