Chapter 50 8. Blood splattered with yellow sand and incomplete corpses

Li Lianying lived in the South Garden for the elderly, but God did not leave him a day of comfort... He made too many enemies in his life... When he died, the "treasure" between his legs returned It was where it was, but his head moved again. In the dark, did God deliberately arrange this ending?God only knows... Empress Dowager Cixi died and was buried, so of course Li Lianying could only go home to take care of herself.He originally had several houses in Beijing, and if he wanted to live in them, he could live there. Moreover, he is a hero of the Li family. Without him, the Li family would not be as rich. The pro-government is not much different.However, Empress Dowager Longyu thought that Li Lianying had served Empress Dowager Cixi for decades and worked hard all her life, so she gave him Junan Garden to retire.

This South Garden has a long history, and it was the place where the court of the Qing Dynasty rehearsed music and plays.It was built in the fifth year of Qianlong, and Nanfu was set up in it for the eunuchs to rehearse their plays.In the seventh year of Daoguang, he got the meaning of "singing and dancing to promote peace", changed Nanfu to Shengping Department, and established a theater in the form of teaching eunuchs and folk operas, and lovers learned operas. Eunuchs are called internal studies, and folk operas are called Foreign studies.But in the year of Guangxu, due to the destruction of the Boxers and the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Shengping Department, which was "not a sad partner at the end of the song, but a slightly miscellaneous sound" and "the poets imagined the Kaiyuan song, a piece of peaceful and elegant praise", was lost. Lost the effect of the past.However, the houses and gardens here have been repaired in the past dynasties. There are not only the glorious theater buildings in the past, but also the current neat courtyards.The Empress Dowager Longyu chose this place for Li Lianying, she really showed compassion for the old officials, and the emperor's kindness was great.

Li Lianying thanked him and moved into South Garden, and his descendants also followed him.Of course the house in Gongxian Hutong was sold, and the South Garden became the Li family's world again.Li Lianying entered the palace at the age of nine, and he had no children, but he had many brothers, and each of them was full of children, so Li Lianying took the second son of his fourth brother, Chengwu, the third son of his fifth brother, Fukang, and the second son of his elder brother, Fukang, and his third son. The younger brother's third son, Fuyin, was adopted as his own son.These sons also lived with him in the middle of the capital, and all of them had married wives and had children. By the time Li Lianying came out of the palace to retire, his family was already full of children and grandchildren, enjoying themselves in harmony.

When Li Lianying has nothing to do, she takes her grandchildren to play.All day without worrying about food or clothing, roaming freely and having fun, this is the true taste of a living person. However, as the saying goes: "Extreme joy will lead to sorrow, and good times will never last long." When Li Lianying was enjoying the family relationship, something unexpected happened.In March and April, everything in Beijing recovers, with poplar flowers fluttering and willow smoke lingering, it is the picturesque spring.At this time in previous years, Li Lianying was accompanying Lafayette to watch the gorgeous peach blossoms in the Summer Palace and feel the fresh breath of spring, but now, this originally pleasant spring made him feel a sense of loss and sadness, so he kept sullen.

As the eldest son, Li Chengwu naturally knew what the old man was thinking, so he came over to persuade him, saying, "Father, what are you thinking these days, old man, why are you unhappy? Which child made you angry again?" Li Lianying shook her head and said, "No! In the past, when spring came, I would accompany Lafayette in the Summer Palace, Beihai, Wansheng Garden, and play everywhere. Now that I think about it, I feel uncomfortable!" "Father, in the past, you played with Lafayette in the palace. It was natural to be happy, but I think the palace is not as good as the outside! The scenery in the palace, the mountains and rivers, are all made by people, and there is no outside vision. Wide. I see that the peach trees at the foot of the West Mountain are in bloom these days, and they are so beautiful! Tomorrow, I will accompany you to go outside for a walk to relax your mind, and don’t make things difficult for yourself!"

"Hey, what do you know! I think how kind Lafayette was to me back then!" Li Lianying was not without emotion. The next day, after breakfast, Li Chengwu asked the coachman to hitch the car, accompanied Li Lianying and several of Li Lianying's grandsons, and went to Xishan for an outing.Along the way, the children were chattering, pointing to one side, and then looking there. Li Lianying looked at the lively children and didn't speak, only pursed her lips and smiled with a bit of bitterness in her smile. "Father, look at the peach blossoms over there, how gorgeous they are!" Li Chengwu said, pointing to the peach forest on the far right.

When the children saw the peach blossoms, they all shouted happily: "Grandpa, grandpa, look! How beautiful the peach blossoms are! "A little guy also said: "Grandpa, let's go and see, shall we?" " "Okay, okay!" Li Lianying replied kindly. When the car reached the edge of the peach forest, Li Chengwu shouted to the driver: "Old Hu, just stop here!" The car stopped, and the children rushed out of the car. Li Chengwu helped Li Lianying out of the car, and said to Lao Hu, "You can rest!" "Go and play! The little one is just resting in this car for a while, played cards with them last night, and didn't go to sleep until four o'clock." Old Hu replied with a bow.

The children had already rushed into the peach forest. Li Lianying, supported by Li Chengwu, walked slowly, watching and remembering.Suddenly he thought of Lafayette again, thought of spring, summer, autumn and winter in the Summer Palace, thought of taking pictures, and sighed: "It would be great to be able to take a picture of such a beautiful scenery!" "Why didn't you tell me sooner? I know Naji who took the picture. If I told you earlier, I'll just bring him. His pictures are really good!" "Yes! He even took pictures of Lafayette! Lafayette praised him!" Li Lianying fell into fond memories again.

"Grandpa, Grandpa!" His musings were interrupted by the children's cries, "We're going to climb the mountain. Look, the grass is green on the mountain. "Okay, okay! Cheng Wu! Take them to climb the mountain!" Li Lianying ordered. "What about you?" Li Chengwu hesitated. "Grandpa, let's go together!" The children looked at Li Lianying and begged. "Grandpa can't walk anymore! You go!" Li Lianying replied. "We'll walk with you!" said the children. "Forget it! You go! Cheng Wu, take them!" "This——, what do you do?" Li Chengwu stood still.

"Go! I'm in my sixties and I can't take care of myself? You guys go and leave me alone for a while!" Li Chengwu took the children away, and Li Lianying returned to his world with Lafayette.When Li Chengwu returned to Taolin with his tired children, it was already sunset, and everyone shouted "hungry" incessantly.Li Lianying had already returned to the car, chatting with Lao Hu who was sitting on the shaft.When the children got into the car, they hurried back. The children were all hungry, so Li Lianying told Lao Hu to drive the car quickly, and Lao Hu drove the car quickly.When they were approaching Xizhimen, a galloping horse ran towards him, and immediately sat a big man in black, covering his face with a black scarf.Seeing Li Lianying's car, the big man in black raised his hand, a cold light flashed, and a flying knife was inserted into the shaft of the car. There was a piece of paper on the knife, fluttering in the wind.Lao Hu covered his head in fright, and the children surrounded Li Lianying, crying and shouting.The horse of the big man in black didn't stop at all, it had already run a long way.Li Chengwu also looked at Li Lianying with frightened eyes, but Li Lianying looked very calm, and said to the old nonsense: "Pull out that knife and pass over that piece of paper!"

Lao Hu was already trembling with fright, so he didn't have the guts to pull out the flying knife; after all, Li Chengwu had seen the world, stepped on the shaft of the car, and took down the flying knife and the note.The car didn't stop for a moment, and ran straight to the city.Li Chengwu looked at the note over there, and his face immediately became terribly pale.Seeing that his expression was wrong, Li Lianying hurriedly snatched the note from his hand, and when he saw it, he was also stunned.It turned out that the note said: "The old thief of the Li family used to do evil in the palace and killed my father. Now I swear to take your life." Not signed. This was really a thunderstorm on a sunny day, and it was a big blow to Li Lianying who had just enjoyed the family happiness.Who is it, Li Lianying can't figure it out, in the past in the palace, he did evil and harmed many people, but he didn't clearly harm anyone!It was all through the Empress Dowager Cixi, who used her hands to get rid of those who could not get along with her. How could someone point out that he had revenge for killing his father and kill him now?I can't figure it out. When the car arrived home, the lights were already on. Li Lianying got out of the car, went back to the room, and sat down on the grand teacher's chair against the wall, but couldn't get up.Li Chengwu hurriedly asked someone to bring tea and food to calm him down.Li Lianying neither ate nor drank, ignored anyone, and murmured: "I provoked someone, and I don't feel sorry for anyone, how could someone want to kill me?" There was timidity in his tone. "Father, don't be afraid, maybe someone is playing with you? To scare you." Li Fude, who heard the news, said. "Don't talk nonsense, what time is it!" Li Chengwu rebuked him. "Who could it be?" Li Fukang was thinking to himself. "What's the use of thinking about it? If someone wants to kill you, they can always find an excuse. Now that someone else is coming to your door, we should make up our minds early and take precautions. Don't just think about it." Li Chengwu pushed him again. One sentence. "Yes, yes! Brother is still right! Find some people as soon as possible, and find the escort!" Li Fuyin said in agreement. "Yes, yes!" The others echoed. "Father, don't worry and don't think about it. In this city of Beijing, at the feet of the emperor, who can do anything to us, right? You always eat first, and you've been hungry for a day! I'll go find the bodyguard, the bodyguard bureau The bodyguard master here is very familiar with me! Hey, hey, you guys, chat with dad and bring food for dad! Dad, you have been tired all day, you should take a good rest! I will go to Zhenyuan Escort Office to find the bodyguard master! "After settling down, Li Chengwu told Lao Hu to get into the car, jumped into the car, and rushed to find the bodyguard. The Zhenyuan Escort Agency in Beijing is a time-honored Escort Agency.It began with Wang Weiyang in the Qianlong period, a generation of masters who sealed the door, three sons under his knees, all heroes, the reputation of the Escort is far away, and merchants who travel far, as long as they are escorted by the Zhenyuan Escort, and "Zhenyuan Escort" is inserted on the goods. "The flag, the bandits on the road are not unscrupulous.After several dynasties, the Escort’s business is still booming. During the Eight-Power Allied Forces Rebellion in the Gengzi Year, most of the bodyguards in the Escort joined the Boxers to fight against the Eight-Power Allied Forces.Several good players were killed in the war.After arriving in Xinchou, Wang Mingli, the chief bodyguard of the Escort, regrouped and set up the banner of Zhenyuan, recruiting old people from Zhenyuan and absorbing new members, so that the business of the Escort flourished again. Li Chengwu's car stopped in front of Zhenyuan Escort.Li Chengwu confessed a few words to Lao Hu, and then walked towards the gate of the escort agency. At this moment, the second shopkeeper of the escort agency came out. Seeing that it was Li Chengwu, he clasped his fists and said, "Brother Li, it's been a long time!" "Hero Guo, you've always been nice!" Li Chengwu returned the gift and said. "Brother Li is here so late, what's the matter? It can be useful to my brother, just tell me! Brother Li, talk inside." Guo shopkeeper moved Li Chengwu inside. While walking in, Li Chengwu said: "If you have nothing to do, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall. Don't hide it from the heroes. I have some troubles. I want to ask the brothers from the expensive bodyguard bureau to help." "Brother Li Shi, if you have any advice, just tell me." A spirited old man came out from the room, and said to Li Chengwu, clasping his fists. "Old knight Wang! Always good! Business is booming." Li Chengwu clasped his fists and gave a deep salute. "People who practice martial arts, just rely on kung fu to make a living! What's the trouble with brother Li, tell me quickly!" Old knight Wang was really bold. Li Chengwu briefly told them what happened during the day, and the two bodyguards were greatly surprised.The old chivalrous man Wang said, "How could such a thing happen?" "Hey, people are coming to the door. I would like to ask the two heroes to send a few brothers to the house to protect the safety of the family. As for the reward, you can do as much as you want. I don't know what you want?" Li Chengwu said There is a requirement to hire bodyguards. "It's easy to say, easy to say! If you don't dare to send others, then I will take a few brothers there!" Guo Daxia looked at Old Knight Wang and said. "Then let's do this first. Brother Li, are you going to live in your residence tonight?" Wang Laoxia asked Li Chengwu. "Yes, yes! Go early and feel at ease, or my father won't even be able to eat!" Li Chengwu said. "Alright then! I'll call some brothers, let's go!" "Thank you, thank you!" "Why don't Brother Li go first, and the brothers will arrive later!" After Guo Daxia finished speaking, he went inside to make arrangements. Li Chengwu bid farewell to Old Knight Wang, got on the car and went back to South Garden.When Li Lianying heard that the bodyguard was coming soon, she felt a little calmer, slowly recovered her usual expression, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, I followed Lafayette all my life, and now I'm in such a situation." Not long after, the escorts from Zhenyuan Escort Bureau came.There were six people in total, and the leader was Guo Tianyi, the second treasurer of the Escort Bureau.After the meeting, Guo Daxia introduced Li Lianying to his five attendants one by one: this is Peng Daxia, the authentic successor of the Changbai Mountain School in Northeast China; this is Yin Shaoxia, a disciple of the Emei School; The direct heir of the shopkeeper; this savvy master comes from Shaolin. Li Lianying greeted them one by one, making the family serve wine and food, very attentive.Looking at these bodyguards, he said happily: "There are a few of them, as long as the assassin dares to come, he will never come back! Cheng Wu, hurry up, pour wine for some heroes." Li Chengwu poured wine for several bodyguards, and Li Lianying continued: "You must all be masters in the martial arts, can you let the old man see and see?" Guo Daxia said in his heart: "This Li Lianying is really not simple. You have to try everyone's skills first when you come here. Okay, then show him!" , then invite them in the yard outside!" So Li Lianying ordered tables and chairs to be placed in the courtyard, and took a seat in the courtyard regardless of the cold night in early spring.Guo Daxia asked: "How many people, who will come first?" The Jiang brothers clasped their fists together and said, "I'm making a fool of myself!" " "Okay, you are worthy of being the direct descendant of Old Wang's chivalrous man!" I saw the Jiang brothers, each making a pair of steel hooks.The two men came to one place, walked four elephants, ran eight hangs, and fought fiercely.The four steel hooks fluttered up and down, making people dazzled.Li Lianying couldn't help shouting: "Good, good!" After Er Jiang finished practicing a set, he stopped his momentum, bowed his hands to Li Lianying and said, "You're making a fool of yourself!" "The martial arts of Bafengmen are really amazing. I come from Emei. Emei's swordsmanship is unrivaled in the world. Please give me your advice." Before Yin Shaoxia finished speaking, he opened his posture.The sword travels with you, and the body is in the sword. After practicing a set of Emei swordsmanship, everyone applauds. "Hero Peng, to what level has your qigong practiced? I can see how powerful you are. Today you have to show off." The Great Xia Peng didn't speak, his palms sank, his qi gathered in his dantian, and he adjusted his breath for a moment. Then he suddenly raised his hand and slapped the table. The teacup on the table flew straight up and fell back on the table. Didn't spill a drop.Repeat this three times, all of them are watertight, and all the people present are amazed. Master Wuxing saw that others had already shown their abilities, and said: "The poor monk came from Shaolin. Shaolin martial arts are profound and profound, and the poor monk only scratches the surface. It's ridiculous." Everyone was amazed: "Ah, one-finger Zen!" Master Wuxing pointed to the ground and stood on his head, but he talked and laughed freely, and his face remained the same. He stood for a long time before stopping his gesture. Others have tried it. Guo Daxia clasped his fists and said: "All heroes are educated by famous masters. People in the mountains and fields can only do some tricks. You are ugly!" After speaking, he jumped up and was already on the roof. After seeing him for a while, he disappeared into the night and returned to everyone in a moment. Li Lianying said: "You heroes are very skilled, I am relieved at last. Come, come, sit in the room. Cheng Wu will go to prepare the wine and food." "Master Li, there's no need! Drinking too much alcohol will cause trouble." Guo Daxia stopped him. "It's Guo Daxia who thinks thoroughly, so give it to the heroes..." He was interrupted by Guo Daxia before he finished speaking, and said: "Master Li, it's getting late. You've been tired all day, go to bed early! Let's live in this outer room! There are a few of us Now, you can rest in peace!" Li Lianying bowed her hands to everyone and said, "Thank you, everyone!" Then she went back to have a rest. The heroes outside also rested.Although protected by six experts from the Zhenyuan Escort, Li Lianying still didn't fall asleep all night. He thought about it all night, and finally thought of his old friend Yuan Shikai.So, at dawn, he said to Li Chengwu who came to pay his respects: "Chengwu, go find Yuan Gongbao. He has a lot of tricks, let's see if he can think of a way." After tidying up hastily, Li Chengwu got into Lao Hu's car again, brought a generous gift, and came to visit Yuan Shikai at Yuan's house.Before Yuan Shikai came back from the court, his eldest son Yuan Keding chatted with Li Chengwu. "Brother Li, how is Shibo's health after leaving the palace? I always wanted to go to the mansion to see him, but I was too busy with official duties to get away." Yuan Keding apologized slightly. "Hey, it's hard to say! I came to Yuan Shibo just because of my father's affairs." "So, Shibo is not in good health?" Li Chengwu shook his head and said, "No! It's the enemies who want to kill him!" "Ah! Is it so serious?" "Who is going to kill whom?" Yuan Shikai asked as he walked in from the outside. "Uncle Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are always good!" Li Chengwu hurriedly saluted. "Okay, okay! My old friend has always been nice!" Yuan Shikai asked. "Okay, okay, it's just..." "Just what? It's just that someone wants to kill him, isn't it?" Yuan Shikai asked with a smile. "yes!" "Who is it?" "I don't know yet! I just heard him say that he had a feud with his father who killed his father." Li Chengwu said. "Then what are you going to do now?" Yuan Shikai asked. "I have invited the bodyguards from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, but my father is still not at ease, so let me ask you for advice." Yuan Shikai thought for a while and said, "Well, let Keding send a few guns over tomorrow. If there is a fight, it's better to use these guns. At night, we will arrange a night patrol, so that the assassins can't even fly in. You Does it look like this?"" "But that foreign gun won't work!" "This is easy to handle. I will let Keding teach you tomorrow, and you will learn it as soon as you learn it!" Yuan Shikai smiled after speaking. "Thank you Uncle Yuan!" "It's all from my family, thank you for nothing! Go back and tell my brother not to be afraid, as long as Yuan is around, no one can do anything to him. But he must pay special attention and try to avoid going out as much as possible." "Uncle Yuan is right!" Yuan Shikai asked Li Chengwu to eat before letting him go home.The next day, Yuan Keding sent six foreign guns, and Li Lianying felt at ease with the new equipment Yuan Shikai sent him.However, since then, Li Lianying really stayed at home as Yuan Shikai said. Li Lianying used to be the chief steward in the palace, and was favored by Empress Dowager Cixi. She could do whatever she wanted and was used to being free, but now she can't go out.So he stayed at home, reminiscing about his glorious years in the palace, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was so glorious before, and the more he felt that his life was not human.After thinking about it for a long time, I thought of getting sick.Not only was he sick, but he was so sick that he was bedridden.Seeing this situation, several sons discussed and decided to prepare for Li Lianying's funeral and build a mausoleum. Building a mausoleum is a big deal for one person, so the sons had to seek their father's opinion, so the brothers gathered around Li Lianying's bed to discuss with Li Lianying.Li Chengwu is the boss, of course he should speak first and say: "Father, you are in such a situation now, we have discussed it, and we are going to make preparations for the future, so that we won't be in a hurry..." "If you have such an idea, it's not in vain for me to love you. With your words, I feel relieved." Before Li Chengwu could finish speaking, Li Lianying, who was lying on the bed, spoke. "I don't know which place you chose, tell us, so we can find craftsmen, choose a date, and start construction as soon as possible?" Li Chengwu said. "Enji Village is a place given to me by the royal family. I have visited it a long time ago. The land behind Guandi Temple is the best!" Li Lianying said with some pride. This Enjizhuang is the location of the tombs of the eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty, located to the west of Balizhuang.In the seventh year of Yongzheng, Emperor Shizong of the Qing Dynasty gave the inner supervisor a cemetery, with a total of more than 460 mu, and named it Enjizhuang.During the reign of Qianlong, a Guandi temple was built here, and the Minister of Hubu Haiwang inscribed the four characters "Xianling Puhu" in the temple.The hall is magnificent, and the area behind it is wide, with the terrain low in the south and high in the north, which is a good place to build a mausoleum.The eunuchs of all dynasties wanted to occupy this land, but because of insufficient qualifications, they failed to do so. It was this precious land that Li Lianying took a fancy to again. The sons heard that their father had already selected the cemetery, which saved their own worries, so they replied in unison: "Then let's fix it there! Construction will start tomorrow!" "Children, listen to me. People will kill me when I am alive, and someone will dig my grave when I am dead. Then I will have no peace." Li Lianying said. "Then what should we do? Why don't we build a plank road in the open and cross Chencang secretly, and we'll build another tomb, one real and one fake, so that it's hard for thieves to tell the real from the fake!" Li Fukang thought for a while and said. "It's a good idea. I think the real tomb and the fake tomb should not only be built at the same time, but the construction of the fake tomb should be more vigorous, so as to attract thieves even more!" Li Chengwu said. "That's right, that's how it should be!" echoed the others. Once the discussion has been made, the action begins.Li Chengwu presided over the construction of the mausoleum, and its site was selected not far from Beiyuan near Deshengmen.Li Chengwu built a tomb here with great fanfare; on the other hand, in order not to attract people's attention, Li Lianying ordered his eighth nephew Li Futing to supervise the construction of the real tomb.Li Futing has a weird temper, but he is extremely filial to Li Lianying. In order to keep it secret, the Li family members are not allowed to come to Enji Village. If anyone comes, he will be abused by him.So, both projects are progressing smoothly. It took a whole year and both mausoleums were completed.The suspected tomb built by Li Chengwu covers an area of ​​more than three acres, surrounded by walls, forming a small courtyard. There is an iron gate on the south side of the courtyard, and the inscription "Li Shi lives in the city" is written on the gate.The courtyard is lined with pines and cypresses, and the tomb is all made of white marble. The patterns on it are all carefully carved. The tomb is spacious and can accommodate hundreds of people. There is an altar in it for future use. Look at the real tomb in Enjizhuang Cemetery.Inside the tiger skin stone wall, when entering the gate of the courtyard, you have to cross a single-hole stone bridge first, and then a memorial archway.On the banner of the memorial archway is written "Tomb of General Manager Li Daqinxi", "Langyuan Fengqing" on the left, and "Piaomiao Xiantai" on the right. Going forward is the stele pavilion, which is used for the main stele after death; after the stele pavilion, there is a tomb, and behind the tomb is the ancestral hall, and the open space in the courtyard is mostly planted with pines and cypresses. The building of the tomb is even more magnificent. According to the exquisiteness at that time, it was called "Two Gate Wangshu", and it was all made of white marble.On the first door, there is a couplet on the door frame: Opening up to the bright and clear, it will last through the ages, and the Dazhong Zhizheng will consolidate the future. There is also a couplet on the door frame of the second door: The nature is true and the family members are thick, and the self-restraint can be at ease. The west gates are less than ten feet apart, and have basically the same structure. There are stone grooves carved behind the doors. When the stone gates are closed, a huge stone ball will roll down into the stone grooves, making the stone gates unable to be opened again to prevent thieves from entering.There is also an iron pin more than three inches long on the second stone gate, pinned between the stone cracks. After two stone gates, there is the tomb.The tomb chamber is one foot and two feet long and one foot wide. The surrounding walls are all made of stone, and the floor is covered with white marble.Since the person is not yet dead, there is only a coffin bed and nothing else.The coffin bed is used to store coffins, about one foot long, four or five feet wide, and one foot high, with hexagonal patterns engraved on it.In the middle of the coffin bed, there is a round hole, but it is not pierced. Around the round hole, there are bow-shaped patterns engraved. The most unique thing is that there is a well under the coffin bed, and the round hole in the middle of the coffin bed is directly in the center of the well mouth.At that time, this particularity had two advantages. One was that this kind of burial symbolized a long history, and that one’s descendants would prosper for generations, with both wealth and wealth; the other was to use well water and air-conditioning to prevent the remains from rotting.But as a eunuch, Li Lianying was not qualified for the "Golden Well Jade Burial", so the hole that should have been pierced in the center of the coffin bed was not pierced.Even so, among the eunuchs of all dynasties in China, his mausoleum is considered first-rate. After the mausoleum was repaired, Li Lianying insisted on going to see it in person. His sons were very worried and dissuaded him.He retorted: "This is my future home. If I don't open my eyes to see it, how can I rest assured?" The sons had no choice but to let him go.Li Lianying advocated going to see the fake tomb in Beiyuan with great fanfare, and then sneaking to see the real tomb. Naturally, the fake tomb should be seen first.At noon that day, Li Lianying was helped into the car.Li Chengwu was still sitting in the car, and next to him was the foreign gun sent by Yuan Shikai.Surrounding the car were the six major escorts of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau riding on horseback.The Jiang brothers are in the front, Peng Daxia is on the left, Yin Shaoxia is on the right, and Guo Daxia and Wuwu monk are behind.Behind, followed by forty or fifty servants of the Li family. The car went through the busy city, headed north, and went straight to Deshengmen. The journey was safe and sound, and the journey back was also safe and sound.Li Lianying was quite satisfied with the construction of the fake tomb. That night, under the protection of six bodyguards, Li Lianying came to Enji Village to see her sleeping place after death.The journey went smoothly, but when I came back, I arrived at the door of the house, but there was an accident.Brother Jiang walked in front, chatting while walking, and when he saw the door of the house, he relaxed his vigilance.At this moment, two horsemen came rushing from the opposite side, and because it was dark, they couldn't see their clothes clearly, so they fell off the horse when the eldest of the Jiang family said "Ouch", and the second brother of the Jiang family had already connected a weapon with a visitor, "Ding ding dong Boom" fighting in the dark.Another black shadow came straight towards the car, and saw a cold light, the sword was about to stab the car, Yin Shaoxia on the right had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and drew his sword to meet it. The two were killed together.Peng Shaoxia on the left, Guo Daxia and Wuwu Monk behind him also rushed over, and the five of them surrounded the two assassins. Li Chengwu took the opportunity to ask the driver to drive the car back home, and let the servants go out from both sides, with the torch in their hands, illuminating the whole street like daylight.The two assassins are indeed very skilled, and the five masters of the Zhenyuan Escort can only draw with them together.After fighting for a long time, regardless of the outcome, I saw the assassins poke at their waists, and with a slight wave of their hands, ten darts flew straight to the five bodyguards, and the five hurriedly dodged, only to hear the two assassins yell at the same time. "Get up", soared up from the horse's back, and landed under the eaves of the houses beside the street, and then there was no trace of it.The two frightened horses broke through the encirclement and galloped away.The scene in front of them stunned the servants of the Li family, and the heroes were helpless. The assassin has gone, so he can only take Jiang's boss back to Li's mansion.Looking at the injury of the boss of the Jiang family, the wound was not serious, but the pain was unbearable, and the pain caused the boss of the Jiang family to yell "Oh, oh".Monk Wu Wu took the dart and looked at it, and said: "This kind of dart does not seem to be from the Central Plains. Has Guo Daxia ever recognized the mark on the handle of the knife?" Guo Daxia looked at it for a long time, and said: "Could it be the Red Flower Society? Didn't the Red Flower Society withdraw from the arena long ago, why did it reappear?" "But it's true that this dart belongs to the Red Flower Society." Monk Wuwu said. "It's no wonder that the visitor is so skilled, he is the descendant of the Red Flower Society! Everyone should be careful when they meet in the future!" Guo Daxia warned. Li Lianying was pulled back to the South Garden, got out of the car tremblingly, ran into the bedroom, and ordered Li Chengwu: "Quick, close the door! Don't let the assassin in!" "Father, don't worry, old man, a good man is hard to beat four hands, besides, those of us are also good men, they will definitely be able to catch the assassin, you old man, just wait for the good news!" Li Chengwu tried his best to comfort him.When the six bodyguards returned empty-handed, Li Lianying asked eagerly, "Where are the assassins? Have you caught them? It's best to kill them!" But the answer he got was that the assassin had escaped, and Li Lianying said dejectedly, "Run away! They will come to kill me again! You have to watch closely, don't let them break in!" After such a fright, Li Lianying dared not go anywhere, even in the Li family's courtyard. Li Lianying lived in a simple life, had nothing to do, and felt that she had committed a lot of sins in her life. She was influenced by Lafayette in the palace in the past, so she devoted herself to Buddha. When he first left the palace, Li Chengwu was asked to set up a Buddhist altar in the closet of his bedroom.Every morning and evening, one burns incense, one to pray for God's blessing, and the other to kill time.After he was assassinated, he visited countless times every day, always holding a string of sandalwood rosary beads in his hand. Count the beads one by one, look at the beads.Because this string of beads was given to him by Lafayette on his last birthday.Originally, he could imitate Lafayette and leisurely play and practice Zen. It is because of those enemies that he has no freedom, and his life has lost its luster. Only the rosary given to him by Lafayette accompanied him. In Li Lianying's life, the number of enemies he had made is really innumerable. If every enemy came to seek revenge, even 10,000 Li Lianyings would be killed.However, those who have a little conflict or festival will never come up to kill him, so those who can come to seek revenge must have a deep hatred.So who can have a deep hatred with Li Lianying? If you want to kill Li Lianying, the first elder brother who is the last generation of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the last prince of the Qing government, cleared and abolished the "big elder brother" Aixinjueluo Pujun.In other people's eyes, Li Lianying once protected the elder brother from Beijing, of course, it was mainly the Empress Dowager Cixi who was in Xi'an, and spent a year with the elder brother in Xi'an. After all, they have some feelings for each other.As for the elder brother being abolished, it was mainly because his father, Prince Zaiyi of Duanjun, was the leader of the Boxer Regiment. , Only then did his son be deposed. Why did Li Lianying put this account on Li Lianying's head? It turned out that in Xi'an, the Eight-Power Allied Forces asked the Qing government to kill the fist head, otherwise they would not retreat. Since the Empress Dowager Cixi declared war on foreigners after the war began, if she refused to order the fist head beheaded, she would slap herself in the face, so she hesitated .Seeing that Lafayette was unhappy, the Empress Dowager Cixi urged the Empress Dowager to kill the fist head to please foreigners.When discussing this matter at that time, no one thought that the eldest brother who was running around beside him would remember it in his heart.The elder brother also heard his father's name by accident. At first he thought that the queen mother wanted to reward his father. He was still learning to pretend to be a boxer by dancing a gun and a stick in the Xi'an palace, but he was reprimanded by the empress dowager Cixi before he realized that it might be a disaster. rather than blessing. Therefore, he often eavesdropped on the conversation between Li Lianying and the Empress Dowager Cixi, only to know that many of the policies of the Empress Dowager Cixi came from Li Lianying.So he swore secretly that if he became the emperor, Li Lianying would be the first to be killed.When the event was decided, his father was sent to Xinjiang.This deepened his hatred of Li Lianying. On the way back to Luan, when we arrived in Kaifeng, we could have headed north and returned to the capital, but another group of ministers demanded that the elder brother be abolished because his father was the head of the fist.As a result, he was deposed and sent to find his father instead of being the emperor's successor.No need to eavesdrop, he knew that Li Lianying would only say bad things about him in front of the Queen Mother, and would not say good things for him.So when he left the Huiluan team, he had sworn that he would kill Li Lianying. Therefore, in the end, King Duanjun did not go to Xinjiang but fled north to Mongolia, and Pu Jun also followed to Mongolia.In Mongolia, he went to Monan and Mobei, and learned from teachers everywhere, preparing for revenge, but Duanjun King was hit too hard, disheartened, and scolded his son all day long, unfulfilled, hopeless, But he was not allowed to go out and wander around. Once, Pu Jun went out for a month without hearing from him.This made Wang Duan and his wife very anxious, but they searched everywhere, but there was still no trace.One month later, Pu Jun rushed home in a hurry. He wanted to let his parents see the skills he had learned in the past two months, but when he returned home unexpectedly, he was severely beaten. Can't go out. One month later, Pu Jun could get up from the bed, rested for a while, and the wound healed.Pu Jun felt that when he was with his parents, the parents always regarded themselves as children, and felt that the parents only knew how to love and didn't know what was going on in their son's mind.If you want revenge, you have to have real skills, you can break into the deep palace, how can you do it like this?So he got upset, and when his parents didn't pay attention, he left a note on the table explaining his whereabouts, then left home, got on his horse, and headed west to find his teacher.Duan Wang and his wife lost their son, but found the note on the table, knowing that their son had made up their minds, they could only let him go! Besides, when Pu Jun traveled westward, he encountered a pack of wolves at the junction of the desert and the grassland. The hungry wolves surrounded him and the horses, but he was weak and could only sit and wait for death.At this moment, two riders in front flew over, a man and a woman, holding steel whips, bowing left and right, scattered the wolves, and rescued Pu Jun. The boy on the horse asked Pu Jun, "How can you walk alone in the depths of the desert? How could you have survived if the two of us hadn't passed through here?" "Thank you two heroes for saving me. I came here to learn from a teacher. I don't want to meet wolves..." "Where do you come from, what teacher do you seek, and what art do you want to learn?" The girl spoke immediately, her voice so crisp. "Hey, it's a long story..." Pu Jun couldn't help crying when he mentioned the sad thing. The young man said: "It seems that you are also a hard-working person! After running for an unknown distance in the desert, you must be exhausted." Then he turned to the girl and said, "Sister, look at how pitiful this elder brother is, we still take him with him." He will go back, otherwise he will be fascinated here, and he will never even think about going out for the rest of his life." The girl looked at Pu Jun, blushed slightly on her face, and said: "Okay!" 于是溥儁就跟着这少年姐弟来到了一处庄园。这庄园的庄主便是红花会首领赵半山的后代，自从赵半山死后，他的后代就再也没有出过疆，在回疆繁衍生息。赵半山那"千年如来"的武功，也在这里繁衍。溥儁出得家门，一直往西，沿河西走廓，直走到了新疆，竟让他遇上了红花会的后代。救他的那一男一女，便是庄主的儿女，奉父之命出外访友，不期遇到溥儁。 后来，溥儁就拜庄主作师傅。五年之后，也就是光绪三十四年，他已是满身功夫，已经是一个铁骨铮铮的汉子了。他的师傅又作了他的岳父，救他的那个女子便是他的妻子。由于出门数年，现已功德圆满，溥儁便想到了回家，便向师傅说明意图，他要走，妻子必然相随。庄主真不舍得自己的爱女离去，便命儿子和他夫妻一同出来，先见父母，后到京师报仇。 三人奉命来到蒙古，五年前的蒙古包已不知下落，留给他们的只是一片绿草。溥儁三人，找遍了整个漠北漠南，也没有找到父母。于是决定先到京师复仇，然后回来再找。于是三人在宣统元年年底赶到京师。此时，慈禧太后和光绪帝早已死去，李莲英已早赐居南花园了。溥儁便和妻子、妻弟商量复仇的计策，得知有振远镖局的六大镖师护卫，他们觉得要硬闯，一定要坏事，便想到了伺机而动。于是，就在李家的当街，收买了两个人，给他们探听消息。于是，就发生了李莲英视察他的陵墓的归途中，在家门口险些被杀得场面。 一次未成，溥儁便再找机会，准备再次行动。 要杀李莲英，除了溥儁，便是赵舒翘，庚子之乱时的军机大臣的后代了。赵舒翘博学多识，位居军机，本来是深得慈禧太后赏识的，但庚子之乱，他和载漪、刚毅、毓贤等都主张以义和团击洋人，结果洋人占了北京后，给清政府列了个名单，要求将名单中之人全部杀死，方才同意和清政府谈判，这名单中便有赵舒翘。慈禧太后先是把赵舒翘监禁起来，并没有想杀他，但洋人逼得很紧，没有办法，只能下令赐死。 赵舒翘本人也知慈禧太后厚爱，决不会让他去死，所以，当执刑的官员让他自决时，他只服了少量毒药，由于他身体好，少量毒药终不能奏效，就在此时，慈禧太后派李莲英来看他是否已死，李莲英见他安好，便把执刑官叫到一旁训斥，并教他快点下手。那执行官没有办法，只得用浸过酒的纸塞其喉，致赵舒翘于死地。这一切赵舒翘的夫人都看在眼里，铭记在心。事后不久，赵夫人病倒在床，临终交代后事，留言其子为父报仇。 母亲的遗命，儿子岂能不遵？况且是杀父之仇。但赵家后代没有习武的，于是便四处打听，后来在武当派门下找了三位武师，在李莲英居住南花园后不久，来到北京，准备替父报仇。武当派的人一向做事正大光明，这也是张三丰的遗风，在刺杀之前给李莲英下了个帖子。这就是李莲英在游西山归途中得到的那张纸条。 发了帖子后，武当派三位高手曾多次夜探南花园，但此时的南花园已被镖局的镖师们保护起来了。而且夜里轮流值夜，都无机可乘。有两三次，还与值夜的动上了手，但李府人多势众，刺杀当然没有成功。 由于刺客屡犯，虽然没有能够得手，但李莲英却过得越来越担惊受怕，他在心里思量："这活得哪像人呀？整天提心吊胆的！不如偷偷地换个地方。"于是，他就想到了再退避。 想了半天，也想不出哪个好地方，最后想到了老家。于是，就叫来了李成武商量，他说："成武呀，你看这样过日子，多难受呀！我可是受不了了！" "爹，这事情已经到了这种地步，你说说还有别的什么法子。我看，也只有这样了。" "孩子，常言说得好，打不起躲得起，你看……" "你说的是到外面避一避，可是外面不知道哪儿都有刺客，往哪里去呀？"李成武有些不耐烦。 "回老家！就是回到老家，死了，也值了。"李莲英接着说："不过要保密！" "This……" "落叶归根，回乡也是理儿。不过千万保密。这次回去，什么也不带，你只准备一辆轿车就行了，找一个镖师给我赶车，其他的要他们远远地跟着，别护那么紧，太显眼。" "是！"李成武去准备车辆，准备好了，来问李莲英："什么时候走？" "今天夜里走，明天就到了！"于是一辆轿车从南花园飞奔而出，在黑夜里出了京城，向大城方向奔去。车辕上坐着赶车的，是振远镖局的二掌柜郭天义，在马车前面一二里路处，有两骑并辔而行，这是姜氏兄弟，他们是李莲英的探路先锋；在马车后面一二里的地方，有三骑并辔而行，这是彭、尹两侠和悟性和尚，他们是断后的。 再说溥儁安插在李家附近的探子，一看李家门里出来一辆车，便飞奔到溥儁住的旅店里来报告。来京已经数月，家仇未报，溥儁心中闷闷不乐。今日晚上，本想夜闯李府，弄个鱼死网破，可是妻子担心不测，便执意阻挠，结果溥儁没有拗过她，先呼呼地躺在床上主闷气，妻子便百般温存，给他消气。Just then, someone knocked on the door. "谁呀？深更半夜的？"溥儁问。 "客官，是我！有个大爷找你说话！"是店主的声音。 溥儁开了门，看到门外站着的探子，便向店主道了谢，招呼探子进屋。进了屋，关了门，探子向他报了李家的情况。 "那你看这老狗是不是在车里？"溥儁问。 "这个，小的也不大清楚。" "他们朝着什么方向走了？" "好像是出了城！" "不好，这老贼要跑！"溥儁说着便开门到隔壁去找他的小舅子。两人合计了合计，便出了店门来追。一直追到芦沟桥上，也没有踪影。小舅子说："大哥，我看咱们干脆去闯李府，这样逛来逛去，真没意思！" "我也正有此意！"溥儁说。 两人说走就走，打马如飞，片刻便到南花园，找个僻静之处拴了马，几个起伏便落到了李府院中。李府静悄悄的，两个人察看了周围地形，发现是一处花园，便向园摸索。这在这时，一个黑影在对面的房子上晃了晃就落到了他们前面不远处。那黑影左右看了看发现了他们，走上前来，也不说话，便向他们攻来，两人急忙迎战。三人在黑暗之中你来我往。数十招后，两人擒住了一人，说："好好的镖不去押，却来保护李莲英这老贼，就你这身手，都不怕丢了振远镖局的人！说出贼住处，惹你不死！" 那人一听此话，笑了。"笑什么笑？做老贼的走狗，还这么得意！"溥儁说。 "原来二位也是来报仇的"那人问道。 "不为报仇，我们夜闯你李府，是吃饱了撑的？别罗嗦，快说李莲英住在哪里？" "二位，在下也是来找李莲英报仇的，不是李府的人。"那人说。 "别花言巧语！你跟李莲英有什么仇？"小舅子问。 "本人是武当山与武当派的与李莲英无冤无仇。受西安赵家之托，来杀李莲英。" "哪个赵家？"溥儁问。 "前军机大巨赵舒翘的后人。" "哦，赵家也来报仇，那真是再好不过了。只是你这般身手，也实在次了点！"溥儁说着放开了他。 "在下功夫确实不佳，不过，我师父和师叔随后就到。" 话音未落，两个黑影已落在了院中。那人低声叫道："师父，师叔！" 那两个黑影闻声围了上去，见是三个人，便问道："那两位是……" "他们也是来找李莲英报仇的，刚才徒儿进来，还以为他们是李府巡夜的呢，就和他们动了手。没想到他们也是来报仇的！" 那师父、师叔说道："原来也是来报仇的！是为自家报仇还是受人之托？" "为自家报仇！"溥儁说。 夜已经很深了，李家的院子里静得出奇。也没有发现巡夜的。五个人只能在院中摸索，忽然发现西北角上的屋子里还亮着灯。溥儁纵到了窗前，把手指在嘴里含了含，然后在纸窗上一戳，戳了个洞，透过那洞往里边看。 只见房中摆设华丽，床上一个四五十岁的男人在一妇人身人抽搐，那妇人轻声骂道："你个死鬼，轻点！"那男的听也不听，只一味地动作，那女人也不骂了，只在男人身下扭动，喘息。幸福的巅峰过后，两人的气息便平静下来了。那女人说："这事要让李成武知道了，还不杀了你个死鬼！" "不怕，不怕！他不是不在家吗？今天亏得没有让我给那老家伙赶车，要是叫我赶车，这今晚上的快活就没有了。"那男人道。 "这死老头子，还不死，整天那么多刺客来杀他，难受不难受啊！又弄得一家人都担惊受怕的！"说着往那男人怀里偎了偎。 "这不回老家去了吗？还怕什么？刺客又不来杀你！" 溥儁听到这里，便知李莲英已回老家了。想必保镖们也走了吧，想知道究竟，便一脚踹开了房门，床上两人吓得抱作一团。溥儁到了房中，那男人赤裸着身子在床上磕头道： "大爷饶命，李老爷已经走了，回大城老家去了。" "那他的保镖呢？" "都护着他走了！这里一个都没留。" 得到了李莲英回乡的准确消息，一行五人出了南花园。溥儁弟兄骑马往回走，那三个人也骑马跟在他们后面，且都到了同一店门前下了马。原来他们竟住在同一个旅店。 再说刚才房中那一男一女，早已吓得魂不附体。这男的便是李家的赶车夫老胡，女的是李成武的妻子。李成武脾气不好，对其妻经常拳脚相加，妻子敢怒而不敢言。一次出行，使她与车夫老胡勾搭成奸。李成武出外之时，老胡便成了李成武老婆房中的常客。今天夜里，李成武陪李莲英回老家去了，老胡便趁夜深来和李成武之妻行乐，没想到竟被刺客撞上。溥儁他们已走了多时，老胡还跪在床上不敢抬头，那女敲着他的脑袋说："刺客早走了，你还跪着呢！" 老胡这才醒过来，急忙穿了衣裤，连道："晦气，晦气！" 自己回房去了。 李莲英深更半夜逃出了北京城，这一路上既无人拦截又无人追赶，顺利回到了大城李贾村。李莲英回到了自己的家，想想自己这些天来的遭遇，不禁放声大哭。李成武在一旁劝慰着。 "爹，您老人家别哭，这不平安到家了吗？您老人家又一天一夜没睡好觉了，先歇歇吧！"李成武说。李莲英哭道："仇人要杀我，他们一定还会找到这里来的，到时候还不是一样要死！" "爹，您的大孙女不是嫁到山东去了吗？过两天，我们再去山东，仇人不就找不着你了吗？" ... 经过李成武的劝慰，李莲英稍稍心宽了一点，吃了点东西，就歇息去了。李成武这才出来招呼六位镖师，说："各位大侠，小地方，难免照顾不周，请多包涵！" 各位镖师也累了一天，草草地吃了些东西，也都去歇息了。李成武不放心，安排他的兄弟李福儁带着家丁在李府四处巡视，自己这才找了个地方歇息去了。 溥儁三人与武当派的三位武师回到了旅店，连夜商议。武当派的小徒弟说："李莲英回老家去了，那我们也追到他老家去，杀了他不得了！" 他师父说："你说得倒轻松，就凭你那两下子，还想和振远镖局的高手过招！"接着又说："王爷，您看这事怎么办？" 他已经知道了溥儁的身份。 "梁师傅，我倒算是哪门子的王爷！从出宫的那天起，我就和朝廷没有任何关系了。你我共谋一事，还是以兄弟相称为好！" "王爷……不，溥兄所言极是！只是这种情景，我们该怎么办？"梁师傅说。 "依小弟之见，李莲英生性狡猾奸诈，他回老家也不是长久之计，一定是以回乡为借口，寻找更安全的地方。如果不及时抓住他，以后恐怕就再也找不到他了。天下这么大，他随便找个地方藏身，我们又从何找起。不知二位意下如何！" 溥儁朝两位武当师傅看了一眼。 "溥兄所言极是！那我们收拾收拾，这就出发！"两位说。 "就这么办！" 于是各自回房收拾去了。溥儁对妻子说："你留在这里，我们两三天就回来的！" 妻子执拗地说："不，我也要去！我也有一身武艺，凭什么不要我去！" 溥儁没有办法，只得答应。一行六人，快马加鞭，打听着向大城飞奔而来。到了大城县城，找了家旅店，安顿好了住处，便出来打探消息。没费多大力气，便得到了李莲英回家的确切消息。溥儁还和他小舅子骑着马在李贾村周围转了一圈观察地形。但见李府高墙固垒，确是个易守难攻的地方，便回来和其他人商量。 溥儁说："我看李家的院墙挺高，而且四角都有堡垒，可是个难攻的地方。两位大侠可有什么妙计？" 那小徒弟抢着答道："已经到这份上了，拚吧！谁吃亏谁占便宜还没准呢！" "不要多嘴！"师父骂道，接着说，"依我看还是想想办法，最好我们不闯李府，让他们自己出来。" "那还不好办，给他放一把火，烧了他房子，就不信他不出来！"那小徒弟又插嘴道。 "对呀！就用火！"大家向小徒弟投去赞赏的目光，小徒弟骄傲地昂着头挺着胸。 商量已定，便各自去做准备，并买了放火用的火药，硫磺等物，只等晚上行动。 夜终于来临了。李家庄园中，只有几个家丁在懒洋洋地转悠着，每个房间里都传出鼾声，奔波了一整天的人们都进入了梦乡。在县城的旅店中，六个人已经全部收拾齐备，都穿上了夜行衣，心中有一股说不出的兴奋。 梁师傅说："溥兄，你和令内弟轻功好，烦你二人去放火！" "行！"两人答道。 "我也要去！"妻子又凑了上来。 "这……，成，那就麻烦三位了！"梁师傅说。 两男一女，带着所需物品，几个起伏，就消失在夜幕中。 梁师傅三人也紧随其后，来到李府门前，找一暗处隐蔽起来，等待里边火起。 时值初春，北方的风还是那么冷，李府的人们都在沉沉地睡着，就连值夜的也缩着脑袋打瞌睡。溥儁早打听到了李家的东北部是仓库，其中存放着粮食，牲畜的草料及四时农具，就选东北角放火。到了李家墙外，三人一纵身，人已到了墙头，再一纵身已到了墙内，摸到了草料房前，点着了火，扔了进去。接着几个起伏，分头到各处放火。正赶上东北风紧，火借风力，"噌、噌"地往上窜。一时间，东南起火，西北起火，西南起火，李家庄园，成了一片火海。喊声，哭声，叫骂声，牲畜的鸣叫声，交杂在了一起。李成武真的累了，倒头便沉沉睡去了。外面人声嘈杂，他被吵醒了，隔窗看到冲天的火光，一骨碌爬了起来，向李莲英的卧房奔去。 李莲英早就醒了，刚一起火，他就发现了，但他不敢喊，也不敢出去，怕被刺客遇见。他盖着两层棉被，蜷作一团，缩在炕上，全身瑟瑟发抖。李成武慌慌张张地冲了进来，见李莲英安然无恙地缩在炕上，才放下了心，急忙喊几位镖师，又忙着指挥家丁去救火。可是风很大，火势根本无法控制，再加上李府的房屋一重重，一进进，间间相连，一旦着火，就没有办法。眼看着火就要烧过来了，郭大侠对李成武说："李兄，这个地方没法呆了，快和李老爷商量商量，先找个地方躲一躲吧！" 李成武来到炕边，问："爹，您看我们去哪里呢？这个地方不能呆了！" 李莲英哪还有心思想这些，只坐在炕上"唔、唔"地哭。 李成武一看再不能拖了，便叫人去备车。车子备好了，李成武抱着李莲英上了车。这次仍由郭二掌柜驾车，其他人在前后护着，李成武陪李莲英坐在车厢里。一切准备好了，便开了大门，车子便冲出门来。 但一出门便停住了，在车子前面，六个黑衣人坐在马上，挡住了正路。正是溥儁等六人。郭大侠勒住马，问："几位朋友，为何挡住道路，几位可听说过振远镖局的名号？" 溥儁打量了他一番便问："想必足下便是振远镖局的二掌柜了？" "正是！" "郭掌柜，李莲英是何种角色，你也明白，却为何要护着他？"溥儁问。 "习武之人，只能凭这一身本领吃饭，受人钱财，不能不为人消灾。"郭大侠答道。 "郭掌柜，本人与你本来没有过节，还请你自己走路，为个李贼你我伤了和气是小事，如果因此丢了性命，那可是大大的不值了。"说着右手一抖，一支钱镖向郭大侠面门打来，郭大侠侧身躲过，那钱镖却直飞到车厢内。只听到"哎哟"一声，原来那钱镖打中了李成武。 "果然是红花会赵半山的传人！"郭大侠叫了一声。 姜家老大忽然想起眼前此人，便是曾经以飞镖打伤
