The five soldiers of the firing squad stood in a row, carrying Lee Enfield rifles, and aimed at Liu Yanzhi. This is a regular old European method of shooting people. It has a sense of ritual, and the execution commander should shout "fire!" At that time, a sharp whistle came, and the experienced officer quickly fell to the ground and shouted, "Hidden!"
This is a 75mm mountain cannonball that accurately landed on the open ground, blowing up a piece of mud with blades of grass. The soldiers evacuated in time and there were no casualties, but the death row by the wall was nowhere to be seen.
Just as they got up to search for death row prisoners, the scream came again, and another shell fell on the clearing. Now no one dared to move around. Five shells fell one after another, exploding the clearing into five craters. When the shelling ceased for a while, the soldiers frightened and evacuated quickly.
The sudden bombardment convinced the people in the embassy area that Liu Yanzhi was indeed a spy. The Qing army even used artillery to cover him. According to observations, the artillery firing position should be on the Zhengyangmen city wall, using a 57mm Gelug. The Senkuai Artillery, the artillery position is condescending, and the entire Dongjiaomin Alley is within range. It is a matter of minutes to destroy the embassy area, but these Chinese are only used to rescue spies. It is really difficult to understand their thinking.
They did not know that these guns were fired by the military army in order to give the palace a sound, not for Liu Yanzhi at all. Empress Dowager Cixi is good at slapping a sweet date. I gave it to melon, fruit, pear and peach. Naturally, I have to give it again. Slap, but fearing that the cannon would kill someone and hurt him, he had to greet him in the open, but he saved Liu Yanzhi's life.
Liu Yan escaped straight away, how dare he delay in Dongjiaomin Lane anymore, taking advantage of the shelling, he performed light work, jumped and rushed out, the defenders shot at him, and the bullets hit the tiles, which would not hurt him at all.
Fortunately, the breakthrough he chose in a panic was the Boxer’s defense line. The boxers on the opposite side saw a person running out of the embassy area. They suddenly became confused and yelled that no one came forward. Not a foreigner, but a compatriot with yellow skin and dark eyes.
"I'm the interpreter of the Prime Minister's Yamen, so let me go." Liu Yan yelled straight, squeezing a way from the boxers, stumbling away, and ran to no one before sitting down to rest, his heart was beating from his mouth. Out.
This oolong is too big, and I tried my best to get into Dongjiaomin Lane. The target was not at all, and it may not even be in China. Antai’s intelligence work is full of loopholes, but they can’t be blamed. It is probably the Cunningham family. An ancestor likes to brag, adding other people's adventures in the Far East to himself, which shows that the credibility of the memoir is quite unreliable.
At noon, Liu Yan, who had been reflecting on the city wall for an hour, came back in disarray. Everyone was very depressed when they heard the news of the mission failure.
"What do you think?" Lei Meng carried forward the spirit of democracy and called the three team members to discuss.
"Since the person is not here, let's go back and enter the city without leaving the Eight-Nation Alliance. I don't want to watch foreigners massacre our compatriots." Zhang Wenbo said.
"That's right, we don't blame us for the mission failure, blame them for the wrong information, or go back quickly, the soldiers are in chaos, and it won't be that way when you encounter enemies." Guo Yuhang looked at the bandage on Lei Meng's chest and glanced at Liu Yanzhi again. To blame.
"What about your opinion?" Lei Meng looked at Liu Yanzhi. Although he is the leader, Liu Yanzhi has been acting as the commander. Lei Meng is not a narrow-minded person, and he is happy to let others speak. To behave, what he wants to hear more is Liu Yanzhi's views.
Liu Yan straightly took a deep breath and said, "I plan to stay. Whether this George Cunningham is in China or the United States, I will find him. If one year does not work, then two years, if two years do not work, ten years. You go back first. It’s a ten-year agreement, and you will pick me up again in 1910."
"Are you sure?" Lei Meng was a little astonished. He stayed alone in the chaotic world of the late Qing Dynasty. He could not figure it out.
"Yes." Liu Yanzhi was very relaxed, "I know the historical trend, and I have a kung fu, I won't be too bad, and it's not impossible to go back, even if I can't go back, it's fine. Look at the novels that travel through. It’s possible for me to change the course of history and get a Dangdang as the founding president."
"Don't you!" Lei Meng took a breath, "History has changed dramatically, and we may no longer exist."
Liu Yan smiled straight and said: "Just kidding, I won't mess around, I have decided, I must complete the task."
"Okay, I approve." Lei Meng was helpless, this was the only feasible way.
Since the target is not in Beijing, staying in the capital is meaningless. They decided to set off back to Jiangdong, but before leaving, Liu Yanzhi wanted to go to Li Chongzheng's mansion to leave, so he gave him advice and left Beijing quickly to avoid the war.
In the afternoon, Liu Yan went straight to the Li Mansion. Master Li was on duty at the Yamen. The butler asked him to have tea in the living room of the downside-down room and wait. When it was getting dark, the entourage by Master Li came back first and threw into the door crying: "It's not good, it's not good."
The housekeeper hurriedly asked. It turned out that Li Zhongzheng was suddenly arrested half an hour ago. He took off his top wearing Hua Ling, stripped off his official uniform, and went to a jail. He was charged with colluding with foreigners and foreigners.
Li Mansion suddenly fell into a collapsed situation. After a while, there was crying from the inner house, and no one greeted Liu Yanzhi. Although he did not know the real reason for Li Zhongzheng's arrest, he could vaguely guess that it was related to him. He was in a bad mood and left without saying goodbye.
……
It was impossible to leave tonight. Everyone decided to leave tomorrow morning. Xia Feixiong and Yan Shengnan would not go with them. Although they had only been together for two days, the relationship was still very strong. Everyone found a tavern and drank goodbye. The children of the rivers and lakes, there is no sorrow, only heroism.
"Yanzhi, from now on, we will be on separate sides. I am afraid that goodbye is already decades later. It's done!" Xia Feixiong picked up the bowl and drank it.
Liu Yanzhi also drank a bowl of wine, took out the shell gun and said, "Master, you are more troublesome than me. Keep this gun for protection."
Xia Feixiong refused to accept it. In the end, he couldn't hold back his apprentice's enthusiasm, so he reluctantly accepted it, and at the same time let Yan Shengnan take out the Yu Ruyi from his bag.
"We are walking around with this thing in the way, you take it."
"Then I would be disrespectful." Liu Yanzhi accepted Yu Ruyi without being pretentious.
Liang Dingbang drank with his head dull and kept silent. He knew that he was lowly and was a "traitor". He did not dare to sit on an equal footing with the heroes. He was also sitting at the last table for dinner, but everyone did not look down on him.
Lei fiercely said, "Dingbang, where are you going? Go back to your hometown in Weihai, or go to Tianjin to find your troops?"
Liang Dingbang said: "Thanks for your care, your life-saving grace is unforgettable. Just leave me behind, and I can return to Weihai by myself."
Lei Meng said: "There are enough carts and horses, your legs and feet are unfavorable, just stay with us."
After a drink, everyone left the tavern and was about to get on the carriage. Suddenly the blind man at the fortune-telling booth on the side of the road called out: "A few good guys help me out. I'm not allowed to ask for money."
Lei came back violently without any problems, and said: "You can calculate it for me, see how many years I can live?"
The blind fortune-telling man was overjoyed when he saw the business coming. He stood up tremblingly and stretched out his hand, but he couldn't reach Lei Meng's head. Everyone laughed, Lei Meng squatted down and grabbed the blind man's hand and placed it on his head. Well, I’m not sure, I’ll smash your stall."
The blind man touched for a while, with a strange look on his face: "This...little old man has fortune-telling for many years, and he really hasn't touched such a boned head."
"Hurry up and be serious, don't talk useless." Lei Meng said.
"Zunjia was born in the ranks, but there is no general talent, so he can only be a martial artist." The blind man said directly, "I will be a rich man in the future, lifespan... Be good, I can live at least 120 years old. ."
There was another burst of laughter, but this time Liu Yanzhi and others did not laugh, only Xia Feixiong and Liang Dingbang were laughing.
Lei Meng's face changed. The fortune-teller said that he could live one hundred and sixty years old. That was from 1900, so he could live for three years in benchmark time and space.
The blind man was very hard of hearing and his ears trembled. He pointed to Liang Dingbang and said, "This guest, I will touch you."
"Me?" Liang Dingbang was surprised, so he stepped forward and let the blind man touch his head.
The blind man touched for a while, with a smile on his face: "Well, this is a blessed head, but the blessing lies on your descendants. Your great-grandson can have the future of the governor."
"Governor?" Liang Dingbang was overjoyed~EbookFREE.me~ Is it the governor of Zhili or the governor of Liangjiang? Green smoke is coming from my family's ancestral grave. "
The blind man pinched his fingers and said: "None, it's the governor of a small southern island."
Liang Dingbang smiled: "Blind, just bullshit."
Zhang Wenbo and Guo Yuhang also asked the blind man to give himself a touch. After the blind passed each other, they frowned and said, "I don't know if I should say it or not. You two have already died once."
"That is, how many times have we passed through a rain of bullets, isn't it someone who has died several times." Zhang Wenbo said, "Then how old do you think I can live?"
"One hundred and ten years old." said the blind man.
The expressions of the two of them changed drastically, and they were silent.
Xia Feixiong was happy to see them and wanted to do it, but was held back by Yan Shengnan: "You are a lie, don't believe it."
Liu Yanzhi was deeply suspicious of his unbelief. Today I met an expert, and he stepped forward: "Master, touch me."
The blind man stretched out his bony hands and touched Liu Yanzhi's head. After touching it for a long time, his face became more suspicious.
"What do you say, I won't hit your stall." Liu Yan directly took out two silver dollars and tapped them in his hand. The blind man heard the crisp sound of silver, his ears moved again, and he swallowed.
"Guest, I really can't count your life, I can't collect this money."
