C1841 Five Stars Out of the East (2/2)
”Tell me your name, your nationality, and your master's name! ”Wake up, Mister. Wake up …”
Lei Meng spat out a mouthful of snow from the corner of his mouth. The good show was about to begin! Why aren't you guys … Hurry up and prepare... The slaughter is about to begin … ”
Before he could finish his words, more than ten gunners rushed out from the Iron Anchor Bar in the northeast corner. They all had different uniforms for different professions, but they all had two Colt revolvers in their hands.
”Lie down …” After a German roar, Pierre threw himself to the ground and, with a series of gunshots, bullets whizzed past his head and the assassins, disguised as dockers, were swept to the ground.
The two gunmen rushed to Pierre, grabbed him by the arms, and dragged him back, shooting with their mouths full of signals.
”Five stars from the east …” The Chinese was actually European accented Chinese.
Pierre's heart finally settled down. He responded in practiced Chinese, ”Lianzhong!”
Then Pierre asked, ”The dynasty?”
”The Han Dynasty …” The gunman answered Pierre in turn.
This time, his identity was on the same level. This was the Prussian side's intelligence officer, and it was the department in charge of eastern affairs which was personally overseen by Prime Minister Bismark.
Xiao Letian had once read a book on codebook that only he could understand. Inside the book were some important historical records that had yet to appear.
Five stars coming from East China should be an important archaeological discovery of Xinjiang in the New China in his previous life. A brocade of the Han Dynasty was embroidered with an astronomical phenomenon of the time, the stars of the ages, the Red Star, the Celestial Star, the Taibai Star and the Chenchen Star all gathered in the eastern sky at the same time.
In the entire world, only Xiao Letian could understand the meaning behind this secret message. Even if the codec from Europe exhausted all of its brain cells, it still wouldn't be able to decipher it.
The cryptography of Chinese and Chinese history has become a nightmare for the entire European intelligence community.
The snipers, who had been ambushed long ago, suddenly attacked. A volley of fire swept almost all the assassins down, and Pierre was escorted into the bar.
”Close the door!” Block Window... They were waiting for the reinforcements, and they wanted the Athens to intervene immediately! ”This group of useless trash …” The leader of the gunmen quickly gave the order.
But Pierre seized him by the sleeve. ”Go! He had to leave immediately! The French are already crazy, we should be revealing our identity in the Suez Canal … In order to deal with us, the French Emperor will definitely do everything we can! ”
”I suspect there will soon be more Frenchmen after us! Run now... Change the plan and head north to the Balkans, and enter the Austria from Serbia... ”
”There's no time, let's go!” This information is our lifeblood! ”
