Chapter Forty-Nine: Unsuccessful
Liu Yanzhi came out of the office and saw three comrades-in-arms standing in the corridor, namely instructor Lei Meng, No. 8 Zhang Wenbo, and No. 14 Guo Yuhang, which is also the strongest four-person combination in the team.
Professor Dang had to meet with everyone who carried out the crossing mission individually, cheer them on, and mobilize them before the war, and each of the four team members had ten minutes, and after the end of the day, another person came late, 378 years old, wearing a pair of heavy glasses, unkempt, and slightly dull.
"Let me introduce to you, this is my colleague, Mr. Zhou Jiarui, a lecturer in the Department of History of Jiang University and a master of modern history, who is also your historical guide on this trip." Dang Aiguo said to everyone, "Mr. Zhou is a master of history, and the industry has the reputation of 'idiot', you must listen to his opinions more, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble." β
Zhou Jiarui bowed to everyone very politely: "I am a weak scholar, I hope you will take care of me." β
Everyone shook hands with him in turn, and the first impression of this nerd was not bad.
Dang Aiguo said: "Time is tight and the task is heavy, you can talk about it when you get there, and now I will explain the precautions to you, and don't blame me for talking about it as a clichΓ©, because this is very important, and important things must be said three times, and do not interfere, influence, or obstruct the course of history." β
Liu Yan raised his hand and said, "But isn't our purpose to influence history?" β
Dang Aiguo was momentarily choked by his question, and coughed dryly: "We want to influence the history of a certain family, not the historical trend of the whole country, and you should listen to Mr. Zhou's opinions and act." β
The time travel is set for tonight, and the five people began to prepare for the outfit, according to the plan, the five-person group took Zhou Jiarui as the core, he pretended to be a rich man, Lei Meng pretended to be a housekeeper, and the other three were all Chang Sui, disguised and dressed up from Omi to Beijing, trying to find a way to kill George in the chaos. Cunningham.
The leader must be clear in the group in order to ensure the smooth progress of the task, the party patriotically designated Lei Meng as the commander, after all, he is a soldier and has experience in commanding the squad to fight, if Lei Meng dies, then the order is directly commanded by Liu Yan.
There was no objection to this allocation.
The task is very difficult, because I only know that Captain Cunningham participated in the Gengzi Incident, but I don't know the number of his unit and the specific time of entering Beijing, and even if we know, it is not easy to kill a captain officer in the war.
Just like last time, the party gave them a month, because the maximum recovery time that the traversal technology can control is only one month, and within this month, if the team of five cannot complete the task, they will have to face a choice, either stay and continue the mission, or return in vain.
The materials prepared for them are very sufficient, each person has a set of clothes in the late Qing Dynasty and two sets of clothes, all of which are fabrics and cutting techniques that have been verified by experts, meticulous, strictly respect history, the funds are a box of silver dollars and silver ingots, and a few strings of artificially cultured pearls that are not very valuable, in terms of weapons, Zhou Jiarui, who is the master, is equipped with a Longquan sword, and the housekeeper Lei Meng is equipped with a waist knife, which is on the surface, and there are five pistols secretly, four of which are Colt revolvers, and a modified Mauser C96 pistol, It can carry out fully automatic bursts, and this most powerful gun is used by Liu Yanzhi.
In the evening, the Bilian minibus carrying the crossing team drove into Cuiwei Mountain, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, the autumn wind was sassy, Zhou Jiarui couldn't help but be poetic, and immediately made a poem, everyone was in a good mood, Lei Meng smiled and said: "Poet, why do others call you idiot?" β
Zhou Jiarui said: "The study of history has gone crazy, I am almost four people, I don't even have a girlfriend, all my time is spent studying history, especially the history of the late Qing Dynasty, I have been thinking, why the modern history of the Chinese nation is full of suffering, this turning point is at the end of the Qing Dynasty, we have countless opportunities to change, but every time we miss, if there is no Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty will not decline rapidly, if there is no Gengzi change, China's sovereignty will not be completely lost......"
Guo Yuhang said: "Teacher Zhou, according to what you mean, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not a good person? β
Zhou Jiarui said: "It's just a group of cultists, more than the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. β
Zhang Wenbo said: "What about the Boxers? β
Zhou Jiarui scoffed: "More evil cultists." β
The car was filled with pleasant laughter.
The whole Cuiwei Mountain is the territory of the Antai Foundation, and at the foot of the mountain there is a barbed wire fence and a big sign of "Cuiwei Mountain Wildlife Breeding Base", which is a trick to hide people's ears, in fact, the mountain is building a lot of construction, and the electronic collider and supercomputer laboratory are set up here.
There was a brand new building on the top of the hill, this was the newly completed crossing starting platform, the crossing capsule was ready, and after the team of five arrived, they checked their equipment again and entered the cabin, each of them sat down, and waited quietly for that moment to come.
Dang Aiguo personally turned on the power supply, and the white light flashed, and the five people in the cabin and their luggage were gone.
β¦β¦
Lei Meng opened the hatch, and the probe came out to look, the air was fresh, the drizzle was drizzling, and the surrounding scenery obviously did not belong to the era he was familiar with.
The five of them got out of the traverse cabin, looked at each other, and laughed, they had returned to history, and there was no sense of disobedience in the big braids and horse coat cloth shoes.
Zhou Jiarui took a deep breath of air and seemed to be intoxicated: "Daqing, I'm here." β
Lei Meng said: "Poet, don't be sour, hurry up, it's dozens of miles from here to Omifu." β
Zhou Jiarui said: "What are you calling me? β
Lei Meng was stunned, and then said respectfully: "Yes, master." β
Everyone laughed, did a full set of acts, and everyone entered their own roles, Zhang Wenbo and Guo Yuhang carried the flat shoulder, Liu Yanzhi opened the way in front, Lei fiercely held the oil-paper umbrella, and accompanied the master slowly down the mountain.
In this year, Cuiwei Mountain is a wild mountain, there is no road at all, and the dense trees block the way down the mountain, all relying on Liu Yanzhi to wave a knife in front to open the way, and the high-carbon steel Qing-style waist knife cuts the branches as sharp as chopping melons and vegetables.
The rain is still falling, this is the drizzle of spring, the green mountains are green, looking at the mountain in the distance, the white mist is kind, and the city wall of Omi Prefecture dozens of miles away is vivid.
Zhou Jiarui shook off the folding fan, pushed away the thunderous support, walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the city in the distance, his lips began to tremble: "Really!" It's true, I returned to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty! β
Lei Meng said: "Master, go back to the city and let you see enough, we have enough silver, and you can also go to Yihong Courtyard to play, and see what the Qing Dynasty stumbled was." β
As he spoke, he laughed at Zhang Wenbo and the others.
Zhou Jiarui put away the folding fan and smiled at Lei Meng: "Butler, you really can't spit out the ......elephant in your dog's mouth."
Before the words fell, the stone under Master Zhou's feet suddenly loosened, his footing was unstable, and an upside-down onion slipped down.
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to rescue, where was there still time, they saw Zhou Jiarui rolling down the steep slope, although some bushes and bushes slowed down the speed of rolling down a little halfway, but it couldn't save his life.
Lei Meng was dumbfounded, Zhang Wenbo and Guo Yuhang also looked at each other, the historical guidance was hung up like this, how could the task be carried out.
Liu Yanzhi jumped down the mountain, he was as agile as an ape, he could fly the eaves and walk on the wall, the steep slope was like walking on the ground, and in a blink of an eye, he went down to the foot of the mountain and came to Zhou Jiarui's side.
Teacher Zhou was already covered in bruises, his satin robe was scraped into tattered clothes by thorns, his melon skin hat was missing, his body and face were covered with blood, and his pulse was very weak.
"Old Zhou." Liu Yan shook his body and didn't react.
Looking up, Lei Meng and the others were gone, probably taking a shortcut down the mountain to meet, Liu Yanzhi checked Zhou Jiarui's limbs again, there were signs of fracture in his right leg, and a big pimple hit his head, which did not rule out the possibility of cerebral hemorrhage.
Liu Yanzhi didn't dare to act rashly, and while waiting in place, he cut a few sections of bamboo with a knife, tied a simple stretcher, and waited for Lei Meng and others to come down, before he moved Zhou Jiarui on the stretcher, took out a compass and a hand-drawn map, identified the direction, and headed towards Omifu.
The top priority is to save Zhou Jiarui's life, and without this historical guidance, the next step cannot be carried out.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the clothes of the four were soaked, but they still persevered on their way, the road below the mountain was muddy, and the cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles were filled with mud, and every step was difficult.
There was a faint antique building in front, and Liu Yan wiped the rain on his face and said, "There is a temple in front." β
Lei Meng has been holding an umbrella to shield Zhou Jiarui from the wind and rain, he is the commander of the crossing team, and it is up to him to decide whether to shelter from the rain or not.
"Speed up and take shelter from the rain." Lei Meng ordered.
Zhang Wenbo and Guo Yuhang carried the stretcher and quickened their pace.
A quarter of an hour later, the detachment arrived outside the Guandi Temple, an unmanned temple with only one room, and a mule cart parked outside the door, and a short-beaten man stood at the door and watched them vigilantly, with a knife hanging from his waist.
"Let's go." Liu Yanzhi said, "We have wounded. β
"Go elsewhere, our young lady is sheltering from the rain inside." The man shouted, Omi accent was very thick, a bit like the moldy dialect of the old grandmother at home.
"The temple was opened by your family?" Liu Yan rushed straight ahead.
The man held the handle of the knife in his hand and said in an accentuated tone: "Inside is the prefect's inner family!" β
Originally, Liu Yanzhi was already about to draw a knife, but when he heard the word prefect, he immediately changed his mind, took out an eagle from his arms and handed it over: "This big brother, please be accommodating, our master fell from the mountain and was seriously injured, and then it rained, I am afraid that his life will not be saved." β
The man took Ying Yang, looked at the person on the stretcher, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and say goodbye." β
After a while, the man came out of the temple and arched his hand: "Our young lady invites you to go in and take shelter from the rain." β
"I'm sorry." Liu Yanzhi also bowed.
Lei Meng cast an approving glance at him, and with a wave of his hand, the two team members carried the unconscious Teacher Zhou into the Guandi Temple.
The prefect's inner family had moved to the side of the temple and gave them half of the space, and Liu Yanzhi thanked him again, but saw a familiar face.
Her eyebrows are lightly swept, her eyes are as bright as water, isn't that Zhen Yue!
