"So, is my dad too?" Xiao Chen Zikun raised his head, his eyes were full of yearning and admiration.

"Of course your father is here, he is dressed in a white robe, armed with a silver gun, and he killed seven in and seven out of the boxers...... Liu Yan squinted his eyes and told his son the story of the year.

Little Chen Zikun listened attentively and proudly, sometimes applauded, sometimes nervously clenched his fists, itching the roots of his teeth for the indiscriminate killing of innocent, ignorant and barbaric Boxers, and even more eager for the Eight-Nation Allied Forces that invaded China to grow up immediately and kill the enemy for the country.

The Eight-Nation Coalition still exists, and it is right in front of him, which makes Xiao Chen Zikun extremely depressed, unable to understand why he lost the battle ten years ago and has not yet found his ground.

Liu Yanzhi said: "It depends on your generation to completely drive the foreign powers out of China, so you must study knowledge and martial arts well, and become a great general in the future, protect the country and the people, and rejuvenate China." ”

Little Chen Zikun said: "I will definitely be a general, kill foreigners, and kill the Boxers, by the way, uncle, when I grow up, will there be Boxers?" ”

Liu Yan smiled and said: "The Boxers, of course there are, and there will be them in a hundred years, but I didn't dare to kill people and set fires on the street, so I changed it to the Internet." ”

Unconsciously, the Six Nations Hotel arrived, this is a Western building, there is a shiny hair at the door of the West Cub to help the guests with luggage to call a foreign car, see the Chinese guests come to the door and do not dare to slack off, who knows whether it is Honolulu overseas Chinese or Southeast Asian rich businessmen, anyway, the people who can stay in the Six Nations Hotel are the best among the Chinese.

The most luxurious Western-style hotel in Beijing is indeed worthy of its name, with running water and electric lights, as well as flush toilets and white porcelain bathtubs, which are worthy of the sky-high price of five taels of silver a day.

Although Chen Zikun grew up in the United States, he ate Chinese food in Chinatown and potato bread in the orphanage, and had not been trained in Western etiquette.

Liu Yanzhi said: "It is indeed not as convenient as chopsticks to eat with a knife and fork, but walking in the world, you need to contact all kinds of people and cultures, as the so-called local customs, in the Six Nations Hotel, you have to use a knife and fork to eat Western food, and then you go to India, go to those Arab tribes, and you have to eat with your hands." ”

Liu Yan took a traveler's check to HSBC to exchange five hundred taels of silver, bought a small courtyard house in the city, rented a shop in Dong'an Market, hired an old mother, a rickshaw driver and a shopkeeper, and bought some goods from other merchants.

Liu Yanzhi also invited a tutor for his son, teaching him to write and count, this child is talented, a teaching will, but do not like to write brush words, Mr. take the ring ruler to hit the palm of the hand, when the father dotes on the child, just say that if you don't learn, you won't learn it, anyway, the brush is not commonly used in the future, but do not practice the brush, the hard pen must be practiced, he took his son to a trip to Dongjiaomin Lane, found a German store, bought a fountain pen, the brand is not very good, it was opened a few years ago, called Montblanc.

Xiao Chen Zikun followed a poor Hanlin in Beijing to learn the Chinese language for half a year, a hundred family surnames and a thousand characters, four books and five classics have learned a word, Tang poems and Song poems can also recite dozens of poems, basically can get out of the category of illiteracy, but there is still a great distance from the poetry and export chapters, that is not Liu Yanzhi's expectation, he said to Mr., our child will be a bookkeeper in the future, which made the old Hanlin sigh for a long time, saying that this child will be timed, and the title of the gold list is not a problem.

In the blink of an eye, summer came, and Beijing was full of noisy cicadas, Liu Yanzhi took his children to visit an old man, Zhao Fuchen of the Beijing Town Martial Arts Bureau.

Ten years ago, Zhao Fuchen escorted the family of Lin Zhifu to Jinjiang, and had a friendship with Liu Yanzhi, I heard that he is now taking the dart of the Kulun line, it just so happened that Liu Yanzhi wanted to take the child to walk all over the great rivers and mountains, this outside Mobei is a must go, why not ask Master Zhao to help.

Zhao Fuchen happened to be at home, serving tea and entertaining guests, Liu Yan went straight to the point and put forward his intentions, saying that he wanted to go to Kulun to do business, and he wanted to ask Master Zhao to introduce him, and set off with the caravan, so that he could take care of it.

There were four packs of gifts on the table, and there was a one hundred taels of silver tickets with the ticket number of Rishengchang, which was regarded as an introduction fee, Zhao Yuanchen immediately agreed, and asked the guests how many goods and how many camels.

"I haven't walked through the east exit, and I asked Master Zhao for guidance." Liu Yanzhi humbly asked.

This east entrance is Zhangjiakou, Shanxi has always been a large population province, less land and more people, young and strong laborers have to go to Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia in order to find a way to live, there are two main roads, one is the famous West Exit of the Tiger Mouth, and the other is this Zhangjiakou.

Zhao Fuchen said, this Kulun is not easy to walk, from Jingshi to Zhangjiakou is 430 miles, from Zhangjiakou to Kulun is 1,900 miles, to pass through two deserts, there is very little water, the Gobi Desert is often a violent wind and sandstorm, ordinary people can not bear this hardship, especially with a child, you can think clearly.

Liu Yanzhi smiled faintly: "It's okay, the sky will descend on the Si people, and they must first work their bodies and skin." ”

Zhao Fuchen only regarded it as an ordinary business, and for the sake of money, he agreed, anyway, when he came to the mouth and outside the mouth, no one could blame anyone for dying in the middle of the road.

The business was negotiated, Zhao Fuchen helped Liu Yanzhi buy Wufeng camels to pull goods and carry people, and arranged for the camel team to set off together.

Liu Yan straightened up and said goodbye, and suddenly saw a small red tassel gun inserted on the landing platform in the yard, and suddenly remembered the past when the Boxers were in trouble ten years ago, and couldn't help but pick up the spear and shake it, just a random shake, Zhao Fuchen's eyes were straight, the moon stick knife for a lifetime, the expert knew if there was a gun as soon as he shot, this master is a practitioner, he was immediately impressed, and said: "Mr. Chen has ever practiced marksmanship?" ”

"No, I didn't." Liu Yanzhi inserted the small flower gun back into the platform, bowed his hand to Zhao Fuchen, and left with the child.

……

In the blink of an eye, in September, Liu Yanzhi took Xiao Chen Zikun as promised, and joined Da Shengkui's camel team to Kulun, the camel team assembled in Huanghuayi in the northwest of the capital, there were hundreds of camels, Zhao Fuchen set off with the team as a dart master, and the red tasseled small flower gun was suspended in the victory hook on the camel's back, and some of the caravan guards were already carrying Russian-made water bead fast guns.

In the melodious camel bells, the camel team set off to the north, through Juyong Pass, Tumubao, Jimingyi, towards Zhangjiakou, this road is rich in water and grass, do not worry about eating and drinking, after arriving in Zhangjiakou, the camel team further strengthened, supplemented the provisions, filled the barrel with enough sweet water to eat half a month, bought hundreds of large wheel cakes, the size of this cake and the wheel in general, the face is good, the air is dried thoroughly, cut into strips and then tamped, in the desert it depends on eating this. The camels also had enough salted bean cakes and drank hundreds of liters of water, so they could go without water for the next ten days.

After the preparation is sufficient, the leader of the camel caravan also burns incense and prays, begging the gods to bless him, and extreme weather often occurs in the desert, and it is unlucky to be on the stall.

The camel caravan went north along Zhangku Avenue, saying that it was the avenue, in fact, it was the road pressed out by the camels and carts on the barren Gobi, walking for several days, the weather had been very good, the camel caravan smoothly passed through the southwest of the Hunshandak Desert, in front of which was the Garbai Hanhai, Hanhai means the great desert, for some reason, the camel caravan was shrouded in nervousness.

That night, the camel caravan camped on the edge of the desert, the merchants set up yurts, people slept next to each other in tents, the camels formed a large circle around the periphery, the mastiffs on the guard of the team all let go of the iron chains, and the guards took up the guys to watch the night, not thieves, but other ......

In the middle of the night, the wind outside the tent roared, the sound of gold and iron resonating endlessly, this is the sound of thousands of troops and horses fighting, Liu Yan got up and listened attentively, heard the galloping of thousands of horses, heard the rain of arrows, heard the wailing of the wounded soldiers, heard the advancing war drums and horns, he couldn't help but be a little excited, and woke up his son: "Listen, there is a war outside." ”

The tent was lit with lights, and the men of the camel caravan were colorless and trembling one by one, this was the most terrible scene in the desert, the Yin soldiers.

On this desert, there are thousands of ghosts, they are the soldiers of all dynasties, who died on the battlefield for the national war, and their souls can not rest in peace, they forget that they have died, and still wander in groups on the desert Gobi, every full moon, they rush back and forth to kill, Jin Ge Iron Horse, reproduce the scene of the year.

However, the Yin Soldiers will cause great trouble for the camel caravan, which indicates that the weather will be extremely bad in the next few days, and there will be heavy losses.

The guys were too frightened to come out of the tent, but Liu Yanzhi was fearless, took his son out of the tent, and saw two armies rushing and killing on the Gobi Desert at night, one side was the Hun cavalry of the year, and the other side was the Central Plains cavalry during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It's not the first time Zhao Fuchen has seen the Yin soldiers, he didn't dare to move with the spear in his hand, it was a thousand years of Yin Soul, he couldn't collide, and when he saw Liu Yan go straight out of the tent, he was so shocked that he waved his hand desperately to go back, but he didn't dare to make a noise to disturb the Yin soldiers.

Liu Yanzhi acted as if nothing happened, and actually led a camel, and took Xiao Chen Zikun straight into the battlefield in Zhao Fuchen's stunned eyes.

On the endless Gobi, the sand and dust are filled, like real and illusory, Liu Yan rode a camel through the phantom of the undead army, stopped in front of the two armies, shouted, and suddenly all the ghosts of the yin soldiers disappeared, the moonlight was bright, the earth was peaceful, and it was quiet as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Fuchen opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it anymore, he not only saw a ghost today, but also saw a god! The true god who drank away millions of Yin soldiers in one word!
