Chapter 63: Palace Forbidden
The young man drank half a catty of two pots, and the wine became bold, and he even wanted to break into the place where the emperor lived, even if it was a river thief who crossed the north and south, he didn't dare to go to the forbidden land, but these two goods dared, one was a snitch who wandered the world, and the other was a traveler from the future.
The two said to leave, Yan Shengnan didn't stop his man, and said with a big grin: "Be careful, I can't save you if you fall in." β
Liu Yan followed Xia Feixiong all the way, like two happy wild cats, I don't know how many tiles have been broken, this year Beijing is full of bungalows, the walls are connected to the roof, the most suitable for the snitches to jump, they are not lonely, they have seen at least three waves of snitches along the way, they are all peers, pretend not to see.
Climbing over the city wall of the inner city is a technical job, the three city gates Xuanwu Gate, Zhengyang Gate and Chongwen Gate have been closed, even if they are not closed, there are troops stationed on the city gate building, so they can only climb the wall, climb the wall first have to cross the moat, Xia Feixiong showed a unique skill, he picked up a few wooden boards, swished into the river, took a few steps back, ran up, lifted his breath, stepped on the plank floating on the water, and actually ran through the moat.
Liu Yanzhi's eyes were round, this hand floating kung fu was too handsome, he was envious, and he wanted to do the same, but he couldn't get home with light kung fu, and he fell into the water when he stepped on the first plank by inertia, but fortunately, there was no one around, he launched his freestyle technique, and swam to the opposite shore in a few strokes.
Xia Feixiong sat on the stone and looked at him with a smile: "I still have to practice." β
"Yes, Master." Liu Yanzhi is very modest, parkour and light skills seem to be the same, but there is a big gap inside.
In front of him is the inner city wall, the city wall is made of specially fired city wall bricks, due to the age, the wall is mottled, there are weeds growing on it, the wall has a certain inclination, Xia Feixiong used both hands and feet, like a gecko swam on the wall, and after a while, he went up to the city wall, showing his face from behind the battlement.
This city wall is difficult for Liu Yanzhi, he spent Xia Feixiong twice as long on the city wall, late at night, there were no patrol soldiers on the city wall, but the direction of Zhengyangmen was brightly lit, probably the defenders condescendingly watched the foreign hairs in Dongjiaomin Lane.
Coming down from the inner city, the two jumped and went straight to the imperial city, the imperial city is a circle of cities outside the Forbidden City, including Jingshan, Taimiao, Shejitan, Zhongnanhai, all kinds of prisons, bureaus, warehouses, workshops, are related to the royal institutions, dark in the middle of the night, silent everywhere, occasionally there are patrols listless passing, the two almost swaggered to the bank of the river.
The Tube River is the moat of the Forbidden City, and after crossing the river is where the emperor lives, the walls of the Forbidden City are very high, the walls are smooth, and it is impossible to perform the kung fu of gecko swimming the wall, Xia Feixiong took out the flying tiger claw from his arms, and Liu Yanzhi was dumbfounded: "Master, the master of light skills also uses this?" β
"Nonsense, what's the use of this, don't you fly." Xia Feixiong's flying tiger claws were made of unknown texture, dark black and dull, heavy, and a rope with an equally unknown texture tied to the end.
"There are soldiers in the tower." Liu Yan pointed to the building with the ridge and eaves in the distance and said.
Xia Feixiong disdainfully: "The guards are sleeping inside, who comes out in the middle of the night to stroll, besides, the Forbidden City is not against thieves, it is against assassins, and anti-assassins do not rely on the Imperial Forest Army and the Ouchi guards, but ......"
"Ordinary people, etc., are confused when they see this formation, and they can't find the main owner when they enter the Forbidden City." Liu Yanzhi said.
"That's right, the place where the emperor lives is too big, there are nine hundred and ninety-nine rooms, even the eunuchs in the palace don't know where the emperor lives, let alone outsiders." Xia Feixiong boasted proudly, "But I know that the map of the palace is in my heart." β
With a whoosh, the flying tiger claws were thrown onto the palace wall, and the two climbed into the Forbidden City from the side of Xihua Gate, and it was the direction of the harem.
After landing on the ground, I found that this place was very different from the imaginary palace, but it was like a shack for refugees, with a lot of feces piled up along the root of the wall, and the smell was stinking, and rows of low houses were built haphazardly, and clotheslines were ripped everywhere.
"Master, did you go to the wrong door?" Liu Yanzhi asked in a low voice.
"That's right, this is where the old, frail and homeless eunuchs and palace maids live, and I walked from here last time I went into the palace to play." Xia Feixiong led the way in front, and if no one was around, he walked east, all the doors were closed and locked, and he could only go over the wall, all the way down, the physical consumption was quite large, Liu Yanzhi was a little worried, in case he was discovered, he would catch a turtle in the urn.
"Light work is the same as swimming in the water, and you won't get tired if you master the tricks." Xia Feixiong taught his skills softly as he walked, "The most important thing is pranayama, when the breath is calm, you can walk fast." β
A quarter of an hour later, the two landed in a palace courtyard, the black light blinded the fire and couldn't see what the palace was, Xia Feixiong used the blade to open the door bolt, slipped in to observe, no one lived, but there were a lot of good things in the house, he took a jade Ruyi race in his arms, Liu Yanzhi stepped around, and wanted to take everything he saw, but the vase was fragile, the furniture was too big, and the ancient paintings on the wall were afraid that it would be difficult to sell the stolen goods.
"Let's go, go to the side hall." When Xia Feixiong walked out of the main hall and went to dial the gate of the side hall, a scream came from inside, startling him to take a few steps back, and said in a deep voice: "It's not good, go quickly." β
The two of them quickly returned along the same path, and ran a few hundred steps before they heard a gong ringing behind them, shouting one after another: "Catch the assassin, catch the assassin." β
The guards on duty in the harem rushed out and ran wildly with lanterns, not to catch the assassins, but to Chuxiu Palace to protect the Queen Mother Lafayette.
During this time, the Boxers and foreigners were making a lot of noise, the Empress Dowager Cixi was old, and her sleep was not good, and she finally fell asleep in the second half of the night.
Cixi started with a coup d'Γ©tat, when she returned to Beijing from Rehe, she did Su Shun and others on the way, relying on the coup d'Γ©tat, in the year of Wuxu, Zai Xiang wanted to change the law, and also filmed Tan Sitong to lobby Yuan Shikai to send troops to surround the Summer Palace and arrest herself, although she failed in the end, but also left a huge psychological shadow on Cixi, the world is becoming more and more peaceful, and there are too many people who want her old woman to abdicate.
Li Lianying hurriedly came in, and her sharp eunuch voice was filled with fear: "Lafayette, there are assassins in the palace, and the guards are arresting them." β
Cixi is very calm, and it is useless to be angry at this time, she can only appear to be not very energetic and panicked.
"Don't get in the way, let them kill whoever you want." The old queen mother continued to lie down, "Remove the guards, so many lights, dazzling." β
At this moment, the two snitches ran into a long alleyway in a panic, this is the firewall in the palace, there are high walls on both sides, and a team of guards suddenly appeared in front, the authentic Ouchi master, the imperial guard, the imperial yellow coat of a water, wearing a flower feather, holding a sword, scared Liu Yan's soul away, in martial arts novels, the Ouchi guards are all top martial arts masters, and they can bully ordinary people with their own skills, and they are afraid that they will not be able to pass three moves in front of the real masters.
Xia Feixiong was not afraid, he went up to meet the guards, raised two money darts, first put down the two guys, and then punched and kicked together, and fought with them.
"Pick up your clothes." Xia Feixiong said, taking off the robes of the guards, putting on cool hats, yellow coats, and sabers, as if they were also guards.
Liu Yan did the same, stripped a guard's robe and dressed up, and the two picked up the lantern and swaggered away.
β¦β¦
The palace where the incident occurred was far away from Chuxiu Palace, and the two eunuchs and palace maids who were eating first discovered the assassin's traces, but they were also captured by the guards, and it was a common situation in the palace to eat food, but at this moment, it was inevitable to make Lafayette unhappy, and the chief manager Li Lianying dealt with the matter first, and the two dragged them down to death.
When it was dawn, the Assassins were not caught, but eight of the guards were wounded, according to them, there were more than a dozen Assassins, and they were highly skilled in martial arts, flying off walls, invulnerable, and they couldn't beat them with all their might.
Cixi's face sank like water, and she waved her hand to let the ministers of the guards go down, she believed that the guards were not exaggerating, the palace was not an ordinary person who could come in, there must be internal responses, there were spies, and the mastermind must be someone in the court.
"Little Lizi, whose person do you say is here?" Cixi asked.
Li Lianying replied: "Back to Lafayette, the slave doesn't dare to guess." β
"If you want to say it, you can say it."
"Hey, the minion thinks that this assassin may not be here for you, Lafayette."
"Oh." Cixi raised her eyebrows, and suddenly realized in her heart, she vaguely guessed who it was, Duanwang Zaiyi's son was her favorite candidate for the eldest brother, just waiting for the right time to abolish Guangxu and set up a new monarch, but the situation is changeable, not only the feudal officials do not agree, even the foreigners do not agree, Zaiyi sees that his son cannot be the emperor, he is anxious, and it is inevitable to do stupid things.
Besides, King Duan opened an altar to practice boxing in his palace and bought a lot of heroes in the rivers and lakes, that is, he was able to send such a strong lineup, well, eighty percent of it was he who did it.
After thinking about it again, no, Zai Yi didn't have the courage to do such a rebellious thing, I'm afraid that those people under his hands did it without the prince.
Although this group of Boxers can be used by the people, but if they are big, they will also threaten the imperial court, Cixi trembled in her heart, thinking of those foreigners in Dongjiaomin Lane, although the foreigners are bad, after all, they are external troubles, they just want silver, mission, and trade, and they don't want to subvert the world of the Qing Dynasty.
"Little plum, pass on Ronglu." Cixi said, with an abacus in her heart, Dongjiaomin Lane is just a thousand foreigners, and it will be useless if you really slaughter them all, it is better to stay or a card.
Rong Lu is the Minister of Military Aircraft, the commander of the Wuwei Fifth Army, and is one of the only trustworthy ministers under Cixi, he heard that there were assassins in the palace last night, and he ran to greet him tremblingly, but Cixi did not mention it, only asked him how the attack on Dongjiaomin Lane was.
"Foreigners have hoarded a lot of ammunition, grain and grass, and I am afraid that they will not be able to defeat it in a short time." Rong Lu replied, he is a smart person, and he doesn't want to fight in politics, so he deliberately left his hand, and he really wanted to kill him, and the ten Dongjiaomin alleys were also defeated.
"On a hot day, it's weird to eat dry food, reward them with some melons and fruits, don't let foreigners say that we are not benevolent." Cixi Road.
"The minions obey." Rong Lu is overjoyed, with the queen mother's will, he has a direction.
