The Qing Dynasty

Chapter 11 They All Belong to You

Before the man could finish his words, a platoon leader under Li Xianze hit him on the head with the butt of his rifle. The man fell to the ground and screamed in pain, covering his bleeding forehead.

"Stop talking nonsense, just shut up. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will stab you to the bone."

A man who was blocked in the doorway was furious when he saw this. He yelled, "Are you all f*cking deaf? Didn't you hear that we are the best group in the world? How dare you beat up our people? You f*cking people don't want to live!"

Just like the man before, this man who was cursing also hadn't finished his sentence when he saw several white wax sticks suddenly poking out from the vanguard army. The man who was cursing immediately covered his face with his hands and squatted down howling in pain.

The same scene was happening at several other places where the militiamen were gathered. Besides the cursing and scolding, there was also the sound of gun butts and sticks hitting people's bodies and faces.

Although the people who were still with Li Xiangze had tempers similar to Li Xiangze and were never merciful to such people, they were still restrained and no one was killed.

Li Xianze shouted at his soldiers with murderous intent, "Listen to me, don't talk too much to them, make them squat on the ground with their hands on their heads and keep quiet. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."

Li Xianze's voice was very loud, and it was obvious that he was speaking to the surrounded members of the group.

Sure enough, after Li Xiance finished speaking, the members of the group all squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and no one dared to make a sound.

Teng Yuzao, accompanied by Liu Bingyi and his group of fully armed guards, brought Alwin to the back door of the foreign company.

The back door of the foreign company was also very wide, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of vehicles, but at this moment the back door was blocked by several large stone pillars. Li Xianze was organizing his people to move these heavy stone pillars that blocked the gate.

As expected, these militia members prevented the people from the foreign company from escaping through the back door. They blocked the main door that opened outwards, so if the people inside wanted to get out, they could only climb over the wall.

Looking at the solid bluestone cement wall that was more than three meters high, Teng Yuzhao couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Although such a tall and solid wall could prevent people from outside from entering, it also trapped himself inside.

As soon as he arrived at the back door, Alvin rushed to it impatiently, knocked on the door and whispered in German, "Christian, Christian, I am Alvin, your friend Teng is here to save us, open the door quickly, we will go out through the back door."

Erwin's voice immediately attracted several cheers from inside the back door, and then the sound of someone running hurriedly was heard from inside, but the two heavy wooden doors that were tightly closed still did not open.

Soon, there was a sound of a large and chaotic and hurried running. Then, the face of a blond foreigner suddenly appeared on the tall and sturdy wall. From his alert eyes, it could be seen that he was ready to retract his head immediately if he discovered danger.

Teng Yuzhao recognized that this foreigner was an employee of the Lihe Trading Company, and he wanted to confirm whether there was any fraud outside.

After seeing the situation outside clearly, especially seeing the members squatting in the doorway with their heads in their hands and blood flowing from their heads, the staff member immediately showed an ecstatic look, and excitedly turned back and whispered to the yard, "Oh my God! Christian, we are saved! Your friend Teng, he really brought his troops to rescue us!"

Following the shout, the two tightly closed doors were finally pushed open from the inside with great effort. Immediately afterwards, a red figure flew out from the door, dived into the arms of Teng Yuzhao who was standing on the steps, and hugged Teng Yuzhao tightly.

The red figure moved so fast that Liu Bingyi behind Teng Yuzao didn't even have time to react. Even Teng Yuzao was caught off guard and could only pull out the Mauser pistol from his waist and hold it in his hand.

However, Teng Yuzhao immediately gave a bitter smile. The warmth coming from his chest and the fragrant scent of French perfume made him know who the person who pounced on him was.

"Teng, I knew you would come to save us!" The sobbing voice of the woman came out from Teng Yuzao's arms. Teng Yuzao pushed the woman away with great effort, and said with a wry smile, "Alice, let go quickly, the situation is still very critical, I want to see your brother Christian."

When the girl let go of his hand, Teng Yuzhao realized that in front of him was a tall, blonde beauty, not much shorter than himself, with tears of happiness on her face, probably eighteen or nineteen years old.

The blonde beauty was wearing a red tight hunting suit, black breeches, and a pair of brown leather boots. She looked heroic. If the situation was not still critical, Teng Yuzhao could not help but take a few more glances at her.

The only thing that spoiled the mood was that the blonde beauty was holding a revolver in her hand.

In Teng Yuzao's memory, this beautiful German girl was Christian's sister, Alice.

Just after pushing Alice away, Teng Yuzao was hugged tightly by a pair of stronger arms. "Teng, I knew you would come. Thank you! My friend!"

The one who hugged Teng Yuzao this time was Alice's brother, Teng Yuzao's German friend, Christian, the manager of Lihe Foreign Company, a tall, thin, young blond foreigner.

Christian just hugged Teng Yuzao tightly and then let go of his hands.

Christian was dressed similarly to Alice, also in a hunting suit, except that his suit was black. Not only did Christian have two German Burchardt automatic pistols in his pockets, he also held a high-powered double-barreled shotgun in his hand.

"Teng, can we follow you out of here now?"

Before he could say anything more, Teng Yuzao said hurriedly, "Yes, we should leave now while the large number of militiamen ahead haven't noticed. How many people are there? Tell your people not to make any noise."

The Lihe Foreign Company occupies a large area, with a large courtyard of 70 to 80 meters in depth. The back door is quite far away from the street in front, especially with the tall houses in the courtyard blocking the way. The sounds from the street in front cannot be heard at all in the back.

Even so, Teng Yuzhao was still somewhat worried. He did not want to attract a large number of militiamen. Not only would there be a high probability of casualties during the handling of the situation, but most importantly, if he could not get away quickly, it would likely delay the reinforcement of the Beiyang Military Academy to the west.

"Teng, including the children, there are ninety-eight of us here, most of whom are believers seeking refuge here. I will notify them immediately as you wish."

"but."

Christian continued hurriedly, "Teng, we still have a lot of weapons and ammunition loaded into the truck and some other easy-to-carry supplies. They are all in the backyard."

"We had planned to return to the concession today, but the militiamen came to block us so suddenly that there was no time for so many of us to leave, and all the drivers ran away, so we were trapped inside."

"So many things, especially the weapons, cannot be left to these people who kill innocent people. I'm giving them to you. You can take these things with you."

"Also, we have more than a dozen Maxim guns set up upstairs and in the yard. You must take them all away. They all belong to you now, my friend."
