Your long-term Yanfu event: smashing 100 weapons with a quality above excellent has been completed!
The clue of "Jiazi" started from the moment Li Yan entered Yanfu, and he has been working on it. After repeated fierce battles in various fruits, and the battle at the Red Mountain Paddock, Li Yan finally completed the task.
I saw a blood-colored tattoo climbing onto the back of Li Yan's hand, turning into the body of a unicorn dragon, lifelike.
You have officially started the Yanfu incident: Slaughtering
The virtue of a meal must be repaid, and the grievances of the grievances must be repaid. Repaying virtue and repaying grievances can be done.

Remarks: You can refuse to accept the event, but after accepting it, if you cannot complete the event, the corresponding points will be deducted.
The remaining usage times of Hanhai Longyuan: 97100
"Accept all."
Li Yan didn't blink his eyelids. He sat up and looked around. This was a pier. It was approaching dusk, and there were only a dozen or so people in the entire pier.
There are ironclad steamships emitting white smoke from their chimneys docked on the sea, and the shore is full of old shacks, with dirty and torn canvas on the ground, with slogans such as chinks, fuckoff written on them. Outside the wharf, there are scattered red brick factory buildings. The loud noise gurgling from it and the thick black smoke rose into the sky together.
A dragon-like rail passes through sea water, towns, iron nets and forests, leading to the distance with an exaggerated arc, the towering mountains like clouds
"Ohh Ohh ohh!"
Suddenly, the siren sounded, the metal piston moved up and down, and the roof was an armless portrait. The strangely shaped mechanical railcar drove along the rails, crossed the huge no-entry sign, and drove up the mountain.
Li Yan could even look through the car window and see a potbellied foreigner in a gentleman's hat and a lady in a formal dress with a fan covering her face and smiling coquettishly.
His eyes followed the train and the railroad tracks to the distance. On the mountain was a Gothic revival style castle towering like clouds. The setting sun and colorful fireworks reflected everything in the alpine castle like a fairyland.
There are stock exchanges, theaters, churches, and exquisitely shaped storefronts along the street. On the majestic building is a huge wooden billboard that says Welcome to San Francisco. The steam is steaming, the bright yellow airship slowly drifts across the sky, and the strong metal spire is awe-inspiring. Various machines serving human beings are dizzying. Beneath their icy appearance is the blazing and surging ambition of human beings trying to control nature.
A disgusting fishy smell came, and Li Yan withdrew his gaze.
Cargo boxes full of dead fish were randomly piled up, and a few thin, hungry people stood scattered. Without exception, these were all Asian faces. Shaved off a piece, looking numb.
"The new ones off the boat! Move these down and follow me."
The man who spoke spoke Cantonese. He stood on the pier. He also had a Chinese face with black hair and yellow skin. Dressed as a cowboy, but also with a braid, looks neither fish nor fowl. Standing behind him were a few rough thugs, and even a foreigner with a full face.
Those hungry people responded, only Li Yan remained indifferent.
A sailor who was driving away hungry people came to push Li Yan, but was knocked into the air by a strong force, coughing up blood and fell to the surface of the sea. This suddenly attracted everyone's attention, and several other sailors with sticks and even guns immediately surrounded him , but before they could react, a sticky horrible smell engulfed the audience. Everyone on board felt severe tinnitus at different time periods, and some even knelt on the ground and vomited.
The commanding mustache was far away, he noticed the commotion, and immediately led him limping over, looked around for a while, and said grimly to Li Yan, the only person standing on the boat: "What are you doing? "
Li Yan was looking down at himself. Like these hungry people, he was wearing a rag coat with mud on it. There is no doubt that this is his origin in this world.
In San Francisco of this era, a large number of Chinese laborers gathered. Most of them fled famine to seek a way to survive, so they had to go to the ocean. ?Poor people are deceived by the contracts of unscrupulous businessmen, or even forced to sell them. There are a large number of Chinese gathered here to work at the pier. Their wages are much lower than that of the locals, and they have been cruelly abused and discriminated against. At the same time, near the smokehouse brothel, those gangsters who fight to the death, gangsters who gather to make trouble, there are also Chinese faces .
Seeing that Li Yan didn't answer, a violent look flashed across his mustache face, but for some reason, the muddy, 1.9-meter-long man in front of him just glanced at him casually, which made him lose the courage to scold him.
The character mustache took two steps back cautiously, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Li Yan."
Li Yan answered casually.
The character mustache stretched out his hand to call a clerk, took the roster from him, flipped it violently, and soon, he found Li Yan's name, and his face beamed with joy.
"Oh, Li Yan! I know you. You were brought here by Governor Liu! You are a demon who was captured after the government suppressed the Fist Rebellion! You should have been beheaded!"
He closed the ledger, sneered and paced slowly around Li Yan: "You spent money, Governor Liu saved your life, so you can be sold here as a piglet. I don't know how you were when you were in China. Heinous, but I hope you understand where you're at."
The character mustache stood still in front of Li Yan, and said with a smile: "You can call me Mr. Wu, I cooperated with the Americans to build the railway, as long as you work hard and don't make trouble. You can earn enough money to settle here. It¡¯s possible to become a rich man. However, like others, you have to pay for the boat ticket to come here, and you can use your salary for one year to pay for it. After one year, you can make money.¡±
No wonder
Mr. Wu sneered in his heart.
Li Yan stared straight at Mr. Wu, until Mr. Wu couldn't help but take two steps back, then Li Yan said with a smile: "Of course it's no problem, Mr. Wu."
After finishing speaking, Li Yan turned around and walked to the cargo pile, carrying the boxes one by one in each hand and walking down the boat. Leave everyone with a back.
Mr. Wu's face was a little gloomy. He made a fortune from this kind of business and raised a large number of thugs. There are no less than ten thousand "piggies" in his hands, but for the first time, he felt fear from a piggy, and he vaguely felt that this time it might be difficult to get off the tiger.
Maybe this time I shouldn't take Governor Liu's business.
Mr. Wu had such a thought in his heart. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
