Chapter 143 Ambush
With the help of several immortals, Yan Xu knew a lot about the Boxer Rebellion, although he didn't dare to say it was completely known. However, the more he knew, the more he hated it.

Although he knew that the evil of human nature was a hundred times worse than poison, what the Boxers had done still challenged his bottom line. Even though he knew that not all of them were like that, Yan Xu no longer had the mind to distinguish.

To put it bluntly, these days, whoever has the bigger fist is more polite. So since the other party dares to come to the Magic City to do such a unscrupulous business, don't blame him for being merciless.

Otherwise, why would Yan Xu set up the Guandi Society instead of opening an orphanage? Because he knew that without fists, the orphanage would be a supermarket for those beasts.

"Notify the Seven Wolves that Guandi will take action soon." Yan Xu stood up, lit a stick of incense in front of the Guandi statue, picked up the Mo Dao beside him, and the murderous aura that had been dormant for a long time began to rise again.

The seven wolves who were practicing boxing in their own yard were overjoyed when they received the news, because they had spent money lavishly some time ago and now they didn't even have money to go out for breakfast. They had been eager to take action. After all, once they started working, they would not only get overtime pay, but also dividends from the spoils. So they hurried to meet up.

Carrying the Mo Dao on his back, Yan Xu then opened the exquisitely crafted gun box. The well-maintained guns were neatly arranged inside, and even the bullets were arranged in an orderly manner as if they were a whole.

Moreover, whether it is loading bullets or pulling the bolt, it is extremely smooth and makes people feel enjoyable. It is true that every German has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The German Smith almost became Yan Xu's exclusive gunsmith. In addition to customizing guns, he was also responsible for daily maintenance and supply of bullets.

The main reason is that the current mechanical processing technology is not very mature. In comparison, handmade products are of higher quality, have a lower failure rate, and provide more reliable bullets. The only disadvantage is that they are expensive.

But a problem that can be solved by a few pairs of stockings, can it still be a problem for Yan Xu?
After being equipped, Yan Xu put on his windbreaker and walked out of the room. Outside the door were the Seven Wolves, who were already wearing bulletproof vests.

The bulletproof vests they were wearing were produced in the 1990s and have passed their shelf life, but that doesn't mean they are no longer bulletproof. It's just that their effectiveness has begun to decrease. After being equipped with steel plate inserts, except for being a bit heavier, their defensive power has increased instead of decreased.

As for ceramic sockets, they do exist but are difficult to get because the modern world where Yan Xu lives is only in the early millennium. It's not that many things don't exist, but you simply don't know where to buy them. You can't go to the police station or military district to ask.

It's not appropriate to ask someone. You are not breaking the law, and you are not going to a war zone. What are you going to do with the bulletproof vest? Self-defense? Who are you going to protect?

So Yan Xu could only buy some obsolete inventory through the relationship with the cloth shop owner, and the effect was not bad anyway.

Eight people got on the carriage that Yan Xu brought from the modern world. Under the control of the coachman, the modern rollers and rubber tires allowed the carriage to leave the compound silently. Only a few horses were not very adaptable to the horseshoes with rubber pads.

Zhi Niang was also brought along by Yan Xu, but she was not in the carriage, but lying on the roof of the carriage.

As a spider, the weaver has a wider field of vision and sharper perception. As for the defects of spiders, she cannot overcome them even though she is a demon, so she is used as a car-mounted radar by Yan Xu.

Not long after they started walking, the bell in the carriage rang. Yan Xu, who had his eyes closed to rest, opened them, leaned over and knocked on the carriage's fender. The driver, who had already been instructed, was startled, but when he thought of the generous wages and pension, he gritted his teeth, calmly changed lanes and headed towards the concession. The carriage behind him caught up after a brief pause.

Xiao Tianlang, who was riding in the same carriage with Yan Xu, quickly leaned over the rear window. When he saw the carriage behind him change lanes, he realized that his brothers also knew something was wrong. They were mentally prepared for the sudden situation because their identities had been exposed long ago.

There are now nearly two-digit spies from various forces surrounding the compound where Yan Xu and his friends live. Even the vendors selling breakfast in the early morning, the hawkers carrying vegetables on weekdays, and the peddlers carrying needles and thread are all in disguise. They have encountered countless spies who were poisoned and sneaked in.

Unfortunately, they didn't have time to react, and by the time they wanted to take action, Yan Xu had already brought the Weaver Girl here.

The weaver is a spider monster that is very sensitive to poisons and has a very sharp perception, so no matter whether the opponent poisoned or sneaked in, he never succeeded. Instead, it made Yan Xu excited, and he took seven wolves to attack and killed all the spies around.

But this does not mean that there are no spies around, so being ambushed is only a matter of time. It depends on whether the other party has the courage or whether they can fool the innocent.

The carriage's lane change obviously caught the ambushers off guard. Seeing that the target was about to escape the encirclement, the leader immediately made a decision.

"Hit the horses first! Don't let them get away!"

There was a burst of gunfire. The four horses, which were the primary targets, immediately fell to the ground with blood gushing out of them. The carriage was also hit and wood was broken into flying pieces. The driver, on the other hand, was unharmed because he was not even worthy of being shot. Who would waste time on him? So the driver rolled and crawled under the carriage and lay on the ground with his hands on his head as the master had instructed.

There was a burst of gunfire outside the carriage, but no one spoke inside the carriage. Everyone was listening quietly to the loud gunshots outside.

"It sounds like they were all pistols and four Mauser pistols. There were no sounds of rifles. But it seems we haven't escaped from the encirclement. Boss, it may be difficult to fight us in a while." Howling Wolf tilted his head, trying to distinguish the movements outside, and then said to Yan Xu.

"The other party has been planning this for a long time. It's impossible for them to let us get away easily. Besides, they will have targeted means. I wouldn't be surprised to see machine guns and explosives, let alone rifles. It's just that they don't dare to use them unless it's absolutely necessary." Yan Xu said calmly, leaning against the steel-lined carriage.

Pistols and machine guns and explosives are two different things. The foreigners in the concession could tolerate gangs fighting in the streets with pistols, but they would not tolerate these gangs owning machine guns and explosives, even if they were sold by them.

"The gunfire is about to stop. I'll attract the fire, and you guys can take the opportunity to disperse and attack secretly." Yan Xu pulled out his gun and said to several people.

"Okay, boss. We will deal with the people lying in ambush as soon as possible, and then come to help." Xiao Tianlang said sincerely. After all, it is difficult to find a boss like Yan Xu who would take the initiative to go out and attract firepower, so they are willing to do it even if it is a life-threatening business.

The people lying in ambush outside were obviously not professionals. They had no idea of ​​taking turns to change bullets and provide continuous fire suppression. After they had used up all the bullets in their guns, they were all frantically reloading.

Yan Xu saw the opportunity and rushed out of the carriage, firing the Mauser pistol in his hand rapidly. The jet of fire was very conspicuous in the darkness and immediately attracted all attention. The Seven Wolves quietly got off the carriage from another direction and rushed into the alley at the fastest speed. In a blink of an eye, gunshots and sounds of fighting were heard. It was obvious that the other side had ambushed a lot of people.
