The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 354 From Dancing Girl to General (24)

As night approached, the clouds broke through the moon, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard cast a series of mottled shadows on the ground.

Fusang, who had taken over Hanbi City less than five years ago, died in his own courtyard.

When he was alive, he predicted that he would eventually end up like his previous master, but he didn't expect that this ending would come so quickly.

After Fusang died, Aguang slowly stood up, his eyes not showing the slightest sadness.

Because everything that happened in front of his eyes was the best arrangement of the gods in his opinion.

With the help of several cronies around him, plus all the preparations he had made for today over the years, Ah Guang successfully took over the mansion of the former richest man in the city that night.

Before dawn the next day, he led a group of people in the mansion to raid the British resident here.

At this time, the city of Hanbi was still foggy, and the sun had not come out to dispel the morning fog. If someone with poor eyesight went out at this moment, they might not even be able to see some roads in the distance clearly.

After the British garrison was attacked, there was a period of rioting and noise inside, followed by gunshots.

People who lived a little closer to here heard this unusual noise.

It's just that each of them chose to stay at home, not daring to go out to see the excitement next door.

When Aguang walked out of the British camp with his bloody men, the streets were still empty.

Ah Guang didn't bring people back just then, but took advantage of the situation with his men and weapons, and headed towards the tall church in the city.

In his opinion, the church that represented Great Britain's Protestantism was the greatest blasphemy against the local gods.

If he wanted to completely overthrow the British and overthrow their rule in their own territory, he would destroy the churches of the other side and kill the missionaries who preached the new god.

Just when Ah Guang led people to the church, Lin Shu, who lived in a remote basement in the north of the city, opened her eyes at this moment.

When Lin Shu woke up, the room she was in was pitch black.

When she reached the edge of the window and took off the black cloth covering the window, what she saw was the light white mist floating on the water outside.

She looked at the peacefully flowing moat water for a while, washed up briefly and tidied herself up, and then went out with a small bag on her back.

Because today is the day she and Ah Guang agreed to meet.

Lin Shu, who came out of the basement and stepped on the stairs all the way to the ground, looked at the roadside scenery with rare interest.

She's in a pretty good mood right now.

According to the previous agreement between her and Ah Guang, the other party provided some raw materials and tools, and she could help him make some weapons and simple medicines. After he succeeded in his attack, he had to give her a formal high-ranking position in the city.

Lin Shu reckoned that based on the fact that Ah Guang is the original owner's brother, even if she loses the bet this time, the other party will turn his face and deny him after the incident, but it will not kill her.

It's just that when she wandered all the way to the mansion where Ah Guang lived, she couldn't find him.

When the gatekeeper heard her say that she came to look for Ah Guang, a trace of fear and fear flashed across his eyes.

But he still pretended to be calm and told Lin Shu, "The person you are looking for took people out early in the morning, and he is not in this house now. You should come back later."

From the change in his expression just now, Lin Shu probably guessed that Ah Guang's seizure of power should be completed.

But the other party took someone out so early in the morning, where is he going?

Could it be... Could it be that he went to church?
Thinking that Ah Guang might take someone to the church, Lin Shu couldn't help but have a bad guess in her heart.

During her seclusion underground, for the sake of cooperation between the two parties, she also came out to meet Ah Guang several times.

In her memory, the young man who was still a little foolish, turned into another person as he became mature and steady at the same time.

Lin Shu remembered that Ah Guang actually did not believe in the gods of his country before, but now the other party is more devout than any believer, and he even dedicated himself to the gods at the level of soul.

Such a fanatical believer in the gods, at this time, led people to the gathering place of heretics in his eyes.

In this way, it is easy to imagine what he wants to do.

After standing outside the mansion and thinking for a while, Lin Shu decided to go to the church to see the situation.

But what she didn't expect was that when she arrived near the church, it was already too late.

That church, which consumed countless manpower and material resources in the city of Hambe, has taught people to smash all the stained glass windows, the baptismal table, benches and other things inside, and the icons of the Holy Father and the Virgin have also been destroyed. Throwing it on the ground, the whole church became a dilapidated scene.

But this alone is not enough to satisfy Ah Guang.

He ordered his men to fetch fire oil and firewood to completely burn this church, which symbolized evil.

As soon as the firewood splashed with kerosene encountered an open flame, it quickly burned up, sending out streaks of thick black smoke towards the sky, and the billowing black smoke gathered in the sky like a devil showing its teeth and claws.

It was not enough to destroy the church, she also had to kill the preachers and believers.

So when Lin Shu arrived here, what she saw were rows of people kneeling in front of the church that was burning with flames.

Among them were British missionaries, as well as ordinary people who believed in Protestantism in their own country, but at this moment, Ah Guang's men put knives on their necks, pretending to chop them off.

"stop!"

Lin Shu subconsciously yelled, but those responsible for the beheading never paid any attention to her.

After a series of raising and lowering of the knife, bloody heads rolled all over the ground where the flames and ashes were flying.

Because of Lin Shu's yell just now, Ah Guang noticed her coming.

The latter came to Lin Shu and asked her in a cold tone, "Why did you come out of the basement suddenly? Didn't I tell you to stay there until I send someone to pick you up?"

Lin Shu didn't have time to remind him of his previous agreement with her, because the scene of the massacre of a group of unarmed people that she saw just now was still echoing in her mind.

She pointed to the pool of blood that merged into a stream, and asked Ah Guang in a cold voice, "I can understand that you want to smash the church, but why do you want to kill these people? Most of them are the people of this state, yes As the city lord, you are going to protect the people, how can you just kill the people under your rule like this?"

Hearing her words, Ah Guang frowned in dissatisfaction.

He corrected Lin Shu's words bluntly, "They are not human."

"These people are different from us. They chose to believe in the sect of the British. They are traitors to our own country. They are all guilty. What's the problem if I kill them?"

Lin Shu's voice became colder, "Just because they are different from us, are you going to kill them?"

Seeing that Ah Guang nodded without hesitation, Lin Shu felt a chill in her heart.

　In fact, when the Boxers supported the Qing Dynasty and destroyed the foreign countries, they deliberately killed many religious people and plundered the people.

　　There is nothing new under the sun, the same tragedy just happened in a different time and place.
