260 were sleepy and tired

Li Lianying saw a flash of light in the distance, so he stopped drinking, and he walked alone along the light, and under the light, he found an old man and a middle-aged man, and the two were talking about the war. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 It seems that they are traditional subjects, and when they talk about foreigners, they hate them to the core, and when they talk about the royal family, they sigh.

Seeing this, Li Lianying told the two of them the news of the escape of the queen mother and the emperor, and poured out the current difficulties of the two palaces, hoping that they could find some water and get some food.

When these two people heard this, they didn't expect that the queen mother and the emperor were not far away, and they were so hungry that they hadn't eaten for two days, so they readily agreed to get food and drink. Li Lianying saw that he had landed, so he went back to bring the Empress Dowager Cixi and the emperor, the prince, the minister of military aircraft and the guards over.

The old man and the middle-aged man had prepared water and were cooking millet porridge, and the aroma of the porridge caused drooling one by one, and in their hearts, they felt that there was nothing more fragrant than this, after all, they had been hungry for a day and two nights.

The water is sufficient, let them drink, from the capital to the present, this group, from the Empress Dowager Cixi to the little soldiers, finally drank the water once happily. After drinking the water, I ate some millet porridge again.

The Empress Dowager Cixi naturally couldn't help but ask what the two people were doing, and promised to give them a promotion after returning to the palace one day, and the two kowtowed gratefully, as if they had been rewarded.

Now that you've drunk enough water and your stomach is full, it's time to take a rest! The Empress Dowager Cixi thought the same thing, but she was worried that this place was not safe, so she asked:

"How far is this place from the capital?"

"Seventy miles." Someone in the crowd answered.

Seventy miles is too close, and after walking for a day and two nights, it is really like not walking. The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at this lazy and lazy team and decided to continue walking.

"Little Lizi, tell the front, let's continue to walk now!" The Empress Dowager Cixi secretly cried.

"Lafayette! Walk? Li Lianying groaned, although Li Lianying understood what Lafayette meant, was she just afraid that foreigners would catch up? Indeed, seventy miles is more than half a day for foreigners, but now people are sleepy and tired, how to go?

Li Lianying approached Lafayette's car, lifted the curtain, poked her head in, and whispered, "Everyone and horses are paralyzed, and they are still walking on mountain roads late at night?" ”

"What can't you go?" The Empress Dowager Cixi was very resolute,

"After walking for a day, I only walked more than 70 miles, and it was like I hadn't walked. I'm old, it doesn't matter. If there are three long and two short, what will the emperor do? If the emperor goes wrong on this road, how can we be worthy of the subjects of the whole country, and let me die, how can we go to see the ancestors and ancestors......" The Empress Dowager Cixi could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart when she said this, and couldn't help crying bitterly.

When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded. Speaking of walking, this dark day and night, I have to walk in the ravine again, what a way to walk! What's more, everyone and Ma Jun haven't rested for a day or two nights, and they are really sleepy.

If you don't leave, if the foreign soldiers really chase after you, who will take this responsibility, everyone can't make up their minds, and they all focus on Li Lianying.

Li Lianying knew that with the current situation, he would definitely not be able to go any further, so he made up his mind not to leave, and let the Empress Dowager Cixi cry.

The Empress Dowager Cixi cried enough, and finally calmed down, and saw Li Lianying still standing there motionless, knowing that he was thinking about his own safety, but the situation was pressing, what if she didn't leave?

"Little Lizi, let's go, shall we?"

"Lafayette, it's not that the minions don't want to go, it's really sleepy and lacking, and they can't go any further, and the road ahead is very difficult to walk, I heard that it is all mountain cliffs, and the minions don't dare to rush forward on such a night. Galeries Lafayette, rest here tonight! I'll leave tomorrow morning. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at the extremely tired faces, and even two soldiers had fallen asleep, her heart softened and agreed to Li Lianying's arrangement. So the group sat down on the spot, and Li Lianying found a Hui Temple for the Empress Dowager Cixi to stay overnight.

After a night, everyone was in good spirits, and the foreign soldiers did not chase after them, so everyone put on mules, mounted horses, and went straight to Juyong Pass.

Juyong Pass is already close at hand, and the time is not early, Li Lianying decided to pass Juyong Pass before dark. So everyone from the coachman to the soldiers mustered up the courage and passed the Juyong Pass before dark.

After the Juyong Pass, it was dark. Since this section of the road was extremely difficult to walk, the Empress Dowager Cixi decided to stay here for another night to recuperate her spirits so that she could travel again.

Since everyone is no longer worried about foreign devils coming, they happily accepted the arrangement of the Empress Dowager Cixi and lived in the nearest place.

A broken temple outside Juyong Pass, the wall is exposed on all sides, the main hall has the tendency to fall, and the whole temple is empty; Behind the main hall there is a row of low rooms for the monks to live in, because of the chaos of the army, among them all the monks fled, making the temple look lifeless, and at night, it is even more eerie.

But tonight seemed to be different from the usual, and the sound of people came from the room. In the larger room in the middle, there were intermittent sobs, sighs, and strange voices of consolation; In another room to the east, there was a sweet snoring......

The Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor led their "hunting" journey, and the people of the "West Bank" went out of Beijing to pass through the city, Nankou, and Guangou, and were in shock; He went out of the Yongguan Pass and hesitated to move forward.

Seeing that it was getting late, there were a few gunshots from the Buddha in the distance, but the tired people had not yet found a place to eat and spend the night, and there was really a feeling of "calling the sky should not be, crying and the ground was not spiritual", thinking of the life in the palace in the past, the Empress Dowager Cixi felt very uncomfortable.

Li Lianying saw that Cixi was unhappy, so she tried every means to make her happy, but for more than a day, people hardly ate anything.

Empty stomach, hungry and panicked, want to be happy, where can there be such emotions?

At this time, the people reported that Qin Kuiliang, the governor of Yanqing Prefecture, came to pick up the driver. Cixi hurriedly received him, praised him a few words, begged for food, and had a place to live, and his mind settled down a little.

That night, the weary fugitives, together with their mules and horses, rested at the fork in the road outside Juyong Pass.

Because this place was originally desolate, and recently it has been repeatedly robbed by the Boxers and the westward fleeing army, so that ten rooms and nine are empty, and a few private houses have collapsed, and more than 1,000 people up and down have to borrow the abandoned temple for a night.

After the Empress Dowager Cixi escaped from Beijing, she was tired and hungry for more than a day, and when she reached the fork in the road, she finally had food and shelter. Although it is a dilapidated temple, after all, it is much farther away from the capital. (To be continued.) )
