Chapter 3 third chapter
It is not so much a person as a thing.The man ran fast, with surprisingly long arms, like two iron plows, paddling fast; his knees kept hitting his elbows, his legs were bent, his feet were close to his hips, and he looked like a circle from a distance. ball.
"What a handsome skill!" Li Ruidong sighed.
"Better than Shenxing Taibao, I'm afraid it's an assassin?" Yin Fu gripped the judge's pen vigilantly.
"Look and see." Before Li Ruidong could finish his sentence, he had already jumped a foot away, and Yin Fu also followed closely.
They climbed up a hill and looked at the man again. There was only a damp field, old locust trees with crooked necks and boundless withered grass.
"Where did he go?" Li Ruidong said to himself.
"Nine times out of ten, it's an assassin. I wonder how long he's been following?" Yin Fu looked around, but still couldn't find the target.
Li Ruidong walked slowly in front of his friend, lowered his voice and said, "Isn't it good to be an assassin, he can eliminate the hidden dangers of the people of the country..."
Yin Fu understood what he said, and said with a heavy heart: "I don't know the benefits and harms, but now the Eight-Nation Allied Forces have invaded and occupied Beijing, the royal family has fled in a hurry, and the people of the whole country are scattered. How could Rong Lu, Li Hongzhang and others listen to his orders. At present, only the banner of Cixi can conquer the princes of all walks of life. If Cixi is assassinated, then the princes of all walks of life will each find a foreign master, and China will not be torn apart. Wouldn't it be a pity for my majestic ancient Chinese country to be divided into several vassal states! For many years, why didn't I want to assassinate this fatuous and old Supreme Emperor, but now the situation has suddenly changed, and I can't do it like this!"
"Nose Lee" Li Ruidong is Yin Fu's best friend for many years, and he understands Yin Fu's heart very well.Yin Fu is the eldest disciple of Dong Haichuan, the patriarch of Baguazhang. Master Dong was sent by Hong Xiuquan, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, to castrate him with pain, live in the palace, and intend to assassinate Emperor Xianfeng. He died of depression due to unfulfilled ambition.Yin Fu succeeded Dong Xianshi as the chief guard of Su Wangfu, and was later hired as the martial arts instructor of the Qing palace guards and the martial arts teacher of Emperor Guangxu.During the Reform Movement of 1898 two years ago, he firmly supported the reform ideas of Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Tan Sitong and other reformers, became the liaison between Emperor Guangxu and the reformers, and vigorously defended Emperor Guangxu and the reformers.After the Reform Movement of 1898 failed, he endured the humiliation and set up a field to teach apprentices, trained martial arts disciples with the masters of gossip, Cheng Tinghua, Liu Fengchun, Shi Jidong and others, and secretly sent a large number of backbones for the Boxers...
When Yin Fu and Li Ruidong returned to the river, they saw that Emperor Guangxu had already walked to the center of the river alone, and people by the river were talking about it.
Cixi said: "If the emperor can wade across the river, we can also wade across the river. We can't always stay on the shore."
Li Lianying looked at Guangxu's back and asked, "What is a box in his hand?"
"Who knows him, he is sneaky! Lianying, we have to coax him along the way." The queen mother supported Li Lianying to stand on the sand, staring at Emperor Guangxu who was wading across the river: "He has landed, Lianying, Could he have just escaped?"
"He? He doesn't have that much courage!" Li Lianying said affirmatively.
When the fleeing procession waded across the Shahe River together, Emperor Guangxu had already walked a long way, and was about to turn into the valley.Afraid of any accident, Yin Fu hurriedly rode a fine horse, and Fei Ye seemed to chase after it.
Guangxu walked along the muddy dirt road, and he saw a dilapidated earthen house at the foot of the mountain.
It was almost dark, and there was a young girl sitting in front of the door of the earthen house.
Guangxu looked at the girl in the mountain village in dismay: "Jane, you are not dead, you are in a free barren mountain! I believe you will not die."
He was in a trance and mistook the girl from the mountain village for a concubine Zhen.He did love Concubine Zhen deeply, but then the Queen Mother did not allow him to love her!The less the sexes are allowed to love each other, the more they love each other.When Guangxu lived in Yingtai, he missed Concubine Zhen wholeheartedly.Ever since Concubine Zhen was thrown into that black hole, his spiritual support has collapsed.
"It's getting dark, are you still going to the mountains?" The girl stood up suddenly, took a few steps back, leaned against the door frame, and looked Guangxu up and down carefully.
"Can't you go to the mountains?" Guangxu likes her pair of bright eyes, which look more like Zhen'er.
The young girl was dressed in rags, the red shirt had faded to white, a hole on her shoulder exposed her white and tender flesh.A pair of green trousers with two distinct patches exposed spotless bare feet.
"You have the guts to go." The girl suppressed her smile.
"This is my world, the rivers and mountains I am in charge of, I am the emperor, of course I dare to go!" Guangxu was unexpectedly excited in front of this village girl.
"You are the emperor? Ha, ha... you are the real dragon emperor?" The village girl couldn't stop laughing.
"Is the emperor dressed like you? What is his appearance? The emperor should sit on a dragon chair, wear a dragon robe, be surrounded by all civil and military officials, and hear the mountain call long live all day long..." The village girl stared at her legs. Guangxu, who was muddy, laughed so hard.
Guangxu said sincerely: "I am really the emperor, and Emperor Guangxu is me. I fled here from Beijing this morning."
"No matter what you are, you are a refugee after all. You should die to defend Beijing. There are many emperors in history, most of whom have not left their names, but as long as you die in Beijing and fight to defend the country and city, you are a Good emperor, the people will never forget you." The girl said solemnly.
Guangxu's face turned blue and red when he heard this.
The girl also said: "Although Qin Shi Huang was a tyrant, he unified China. There is a glorious page, since you are really the current emperor, you should follow the example of these emperors and do some earth-shattering things."
"I...supported the reform, but...but it didn't work out." Guangxu muttered, rubbing the dirty corner of his clothes in embarrassment.
"The foreign soldiers have already entered Beijing, and they are about to come here. You are a young girl, why don't you escape?" Guangxu said eagerly, wanting to get rid of the embarrassing situation.
"Why should I run away?" "Why don't you run away?" "If it's for property, I don't have it; for family business, I don't have it; for future, I don't have it; for life, I don't spare my life. In this world, I can't be too much; without me, I can't be too little. If you hadn't come here, how did you know that there would be someone like me in this remote mountain?" "According to what you said, you don't have to run away, so why should I run away?" Guangxu stared at this simple girl in a daze, thinking, she thought so wonderfully, she couldn't be a village girl, it must be someone Descendants of hermits. "Didn't you just say that you are the emperor? Ha, ha... An adult is uncomfortable, and an adult is not comfortable. If you are an emperor, you have to be locked in the deep palace all day long, hang out with those neutral people all day long, and stretch out your hands every day." , Open your mouth when you want to eat, and when you get married, your parents are in charge, and you don't know the world, I don't think it's boring to live like this." The girl said, smiling, and she asked: "You must be very hungry, right?" Guangxu nodded, looking eagerly at the girl. The girl went into the house and took out two cornbreads, and handed them to Guangxu.Guangxu ate it like a wolf, feeling that it was extraordinarily sweet, better than the delicacies in the palace. "What's your name?" Guangxu asked. "People call me Shan'er." The girl replied. Guangxu asked, "Do you have a pen and paper here?" "What is it for?" "I want to write a piece of paper with my own hand, 'Pay Shan'er's official silver one hundred taels as soon as you see the note'..." The girl blushed, and said unhappily: "Hmph, your handwriting? You still think there are words in your crotch!" Guangxu rushed to say: "I can't eat your corn bread for free." With tears in her eyes, the girl said: "As common people, we hope to have a good emperor. If you accumulate some virtue, I'll just give you a basket of steamed bread. Now it's really rich, the wine and meat stink, and the road is frozen to death. Excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes are too heavy, my father hanged himself last night because he couldn't pay the rent, and he is still lying in the house..." Guangxu moved and said: "Then you are really suffering. The woman I like the most is as pure as you, but she is not as good as you. Before she dies, she has no chance to see the world clearly. She has lived her life in vain. I I didn’t realize until now that I still know too little about the world, and I can’t die yet....Can I see your father’s remains?” "Yes." The girl led Guangxu into the room, and Guangxu could not help wrinkling his nose when he smelled a musty smell. On the kang lay a middle-aged man, with his eyes closed, lying there peacefully, his body covered with a broken straw mat, his feet dangling. Guangxu leaned forward, hands hanging down, silently looking at the dead. "What is this place?" Guangxu's voice was weak. "This is Chenjiazhuang. Guanshi is thirty miles ahead. Are you going to go to Guanshi tonight?" The room was dark, and there was only a youthful breath on the girl. This breath is so intoxicating, warm and moving, Guangxu has never smelled this kind of breath on many concubines and maids, neither did Zhen'er, nor did Jin'er. There is no such rustic atmosphere.Suddenly, Guangxu felt that the world is so beautiful, and there are still many truths that he has not comprehended. He should cheer up and understand the world again. Guangxu subconsciously took a few steps closer to the girl, he wanted to get closer to the fragrance. "Shan'er, since this is a Zhuangzi, why is there only such a thatched cottage?" The girl said faintly: "It used to be very lively here. Seven years ago, there were more than a dozen families. Then there was a famine, and they all sold their sons and daughters to beg for food. This place has become a barren land!" Guangxu sighed, and said desolately: "Our village has been reduced to a barren land, and my people are so poor that they leave their homes. What kind of emperor am I?" The girl comforted him and said, "Don't sigh too much, no one outside knows that you are a deaf ear—" Guangxu raised his teary eyes: "How do you say it?" "It's just a display!" the girl said with a pause, "Who doesn't know that the old lady is powerful, she holds the real power and listens to the government behind the curtain, you are just a puppet!" "I...I..." Guangxu burst into tears after hearing this. "During the political reform, people still had expectations of you, thinking that you were ambitious like the King of Qin back then, but they didn't realize it, you are so cowardly!" Guangxu listened, and excitedly grabbed her hand, and he felt her hand Warmth, a warm current surged into my heart. The girl pushed him away. Guangxu stood there blankly.Suddenly, the person lying on the kang jumped up and hit Guangxu with a palm.Guangxu exclaimed, almost fainted from fright.
"Why should I run away?" "Why don't you run away?" "If it's for property, I don't have it; for family business, I don't have it; for future, I don't have it; for life, I don't spare my life. In this world, I can't be too much; without me, I can't be too little. If you hadn't come here, how did you know that there would be someone like me in this remote mountain?"
