Chapter 100: Entering the Palace
Chapter 100: Entering the palace at the beginning
On October 10, 1911, when the Wuchang Uprising began, a prince in charge of city defense in the capital realized that the end was approaching, and brought 1,000 elite iron horsemen, all the family members, and those foreign guns and cannons that Cixi threw in the treasury and never disdained, and moved his family to the place of today's Baylor Village.
Sure enough, on February 12, 1912, Pu Yi announced his abdication, and the Qing Dynasty officially withdrew from the stage of history. And the prince also completed the initial stage of family construction.
Next, the world entered the troubled era of warlord secession, but no warlord dared to invade the village of Baylor, because there was no road here, artillery and tanks could not be driven, and troops were sent to attack, and the jungle had become the best hunting ground for those iron horsemen.
Immediately after the outbreak of World War II, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the establishment of the New Celestial Empire, and various movements...... Baylor Village is still thriving at its own pace. It was not until after the reform and opening up that Baylor Village began to come into contact with the outside world, and a ring road to the outside world opened the door between Baylor Village and the outside world.
In the 80s, when the coastal city was changing with each passing day, Baylor Village also changed its rural image, and the village mayor at that time, that is, Zhenting's father, Nuchi, reached an agreement with the official to take out a large number of antique national treasures in exchange for all the building materials and basic daily necessities needed by Baylor Village, and classified this place as a royal reserve, referring to the United States to the Indians.
Since then, Baylor Village has been a thousand miles away, relying on the foundation of the ancestors, and every family has enough food and clothing. As the third-generation head of Beile Village, Zhen Ting created a precedent of "sending children out for further study", and it also brought the second take-off of Beile Village.
They brought back advanced technology from the outside world, built a new first-class hospital in Baylor Village, and provided the best school education from kindergarten to high school.
In this way, Baylor Village has no outsiders to move in, and it has completed the integration with the modern life of the outside world. Every house is a small cottage, the corners of the path are paved with marble tiles, and the lights shine brighter at night than in the city, who would have thought that in such a valley, Baylor Village even repaired a boardwalk around the lake, plus a small playground, and even a roller coaster!
The 24-hour high-end supermarket, you can eat the freshest salmon at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the fully automatic sauna and foot bath in the Baylor Club are even more imperial enjoyment.
"This is the village?" Xiao Yi saw the corners of her mouth twitch, and she could already hear the screams of the children on the roller coaster from a distance.
"The world is too big for many things to be judged by common sense. Mom's old Feng family is not out of money, this time I will go back to build a playground and have fun! Feng Quan said indignantly.
"Surrounded by mountains, densely wooded, the target is located at a low level, and it is lit up at night...... It's simply a sniper's favorite environment. Shen Ming sighed again and again, for the harsh working conditions, it was close to the extreme.
"Let's go, we're already late." Feng Quan walked into the village with Shen Ming Xiaoyi, and met some villagers along the way, all dressed up in bright lights, wearing famous brands, and extraordinarily harmonious greetings, down to a few years old children, up to 80-year-old grandmothers, with amiable smiles on their faces, it seems that in their lives, they can't find anything other than happiness, and everyone's expressions in heaven on earth should be like this, right?
A seven or eight-year-old boy also gave Xiao Yi a flower, a "sister", which made Xiao Yi die of joy.
Just like this, they went straight all the way, and the three of them came to the village chief's house in Feng Quan's mouth...... It turned out to be a huge building like the Lama Temple, with a red brick courtyard wall as high as 8 meters on the periphery, and a courtyard, garden, building, and stable inside.
The splendid glazed tiles, the exquisitely shaped rockery pool, the whole building truly restores the highest architectural skills of the Qing Dynasty royal family a hundred years ago, this is a work of art that seems to have traveled through time and space to the modern era.
"There's an arch, that's too exaggerated, isn't it?" Xiao Yi stood in front of the circular arch with a height of 3.3 meters, feeling the majesty of the emperor, especially the three big characters of "Prince's Mansion" printed on the plaque on the forehead.
"The ancestor of the village chief was the prince, and the palace in the past was so virtuous, and everything was magnificent." Feng Quanzhi didn't think there was anything to envy, anyway, the door of his house was bigger than this.
As he spoke, he had already struck the bronze pepper door buckle.
"Who?" After a long time, an old voice answered from inside the door.
"Butler Tai, it's me, Feng Quan, open the door." Feng Quan shouted.
"It turns out that Young Master Feng is back, wait, I'll open the door for you!" When the steward replied happily, he coughed for a while, as if he was going to die when the movement followed.
Just when he was waiting to open the door, Shen Ming noticed a special inscription on the wall next to the arch, which was obviously engraved with a knife, and the time would not exceed 1 month, all of them were Manchu, and Shen Ming didn't know it, so he just picked up the camera and took a picture of the engraving.
At this moment, the enigmatic sniper, wearing a carpet-style fluffy green camouflage suit, leaned on a rock halfway up the mountainside in a sitting position, and was holding up the gun with his knees, observing the movement outside the palace gate through the high-powered sniper scope.
Suddenly, Shen Ming looked back at the mountainside where the sniper was, and a pair of sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the darkness and forest. The sniper shuddered and sent chills down his spine.
"It's actually a 'peer' ......" The sniper seems to have this super intuition, and it is an intuition to be able to pick out the sniper's peers from countless soldiers, which is an intuition and a smell of old enemies.
The riveted mahogany double door up to 3 meters high was finally squeaked and opened by the Thai housekeeper, who coughed to death, was full of white hair, and his back was only 1.6 meters high, shriveled and old, with a white beard, and a kind smile on his face full of pleats, no matter how he looked at it, he was over 80.
"Come in, a few of you!" The butler held a portable lamp in his hand and greeted warmly.
"Has Uncle slept?" Feng Quan handed over the burden to the 80-year-old housekeeper as if he was going back to his home.
"No, no, the master is still reading in the study." The butler said as he went to get Shen Ming and Xiao Yi's luggage. Shen Ming also handed it over to the Thai housekeeper casually, Xiao Yi was embarrassed, the travel backpack behind her was stuffed with a bunch of some and nothing, and she was about to catch up with the soldier's marching bag.
"No need, uncle, I'll take it myself." After Xiao Yiwan thanked her, she looked at Feng Quan and Shen Ming and roared angrily, "Do you all have negative marks in the test for your thoughts and morals?" I don't know how to respect the old and love the young, so let the old man help you with your luggage. ”
"Don't underestimate Steward Tai, if you really do it, the three of us are not his food." Feng Quan held his head in his hands and walked into the mansion indifferently.
"He's right, did you see this?" Walking into the door, Shen Ming patted the square horizontal wood that was erected on the wall, the square horizontal wood used to lock the door just now, the old horizontal wood is 2 meters high, made of solid wood, and weighs more than 300 catties.
And such a heavy object was carried up and down by the rickety old man in front of Xiao Yi alone......
"Miss is really a good person, but the old man is a rough man, although he is old, he still has a little strength, you still let me come!" The Thai housekeeper smiled and took the bag on Xiao Yi's shoulder, the three burdens added up to more than 100 catties, but in his hands it was like only a few taels, the Thai housekeeper led the way, holding a lamp in one hand and a luggage in the other, walking in front, not shaking, and the pace was steady as if floating.
"See clearly, this is the so-called light work." Shen Ming whispered in Xiao Yi's ear, "Flying around is called a comic special effect, this kind of hand-held hundred-pound gas is the real kung fu." ”
"Are you okay?" Xiao Yi said curiously.
", it is estimated that it can be like this after another 30 years of practice, this kind of master who has practiced ancient martial arts since he was a child, he has decades of skills at every turn, do you really think that he can catch up with and surpass him in seconds by opening up the second pulse of Ren Du?" Shen Ming was ashamed of himself.
"This guest is too modest, your body is also good, you don't leave a sound, you don't leave a picture, see that you have not yet arrived and stand in the year, you can have such a cultivation can be called the dragon and phoenix among people. Anyway, the old man is not so accomplished at your age. "Butler Tai is old, but his ears are very good, and the whispers of Shen Ming and Xiao Yi in the back are all in his ears.
"Uncle, what about him? How is his kung fu? Xiao Yi became interested in talking about kung fu, and took the initiative to ask the butler Tai's evaluation of Feng Quan.
"Young Master Feng is the son of the head of the Feng family, and he is extremely talented, and he can be said to have come to this world with kung fu. Although he is only 16 years old, within 500 moves, the old man will be defeated by him. "Steward Tai's evaluation of Feng Quan is significantly higher than Shen Ming. However, this is only based on melee combat, and the simple move that has not changed.
"You're so strong? Try it another day. Xiao Yi's competitive spirit was aroused.
"Don't try, this kid is practicing the kung fu of killing people with his bare hands, and his moves are killing moves, and he doesn't know how to keep his hands at all, he will really be killed." Shen Ming sighed.
Feng Quan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, expressing support for Shen Ming's explanation.
It is said that the courtyard of the village chief's house is not ordinarily large, and after entering the door, he has been walking in the long corridor pavilion, passing through the rockery pool and the back garden, and can only see the corner of the main house, which can be imagined how magnificent. However, such an ancient building is now covered with a layer of suspended black shade cloth everywhere, covering all the gardens that need light.
Shen Ming knew that this was a defensive measure to prevent being sniped, and the lights along the corridor were all turned off, in order to reduce the light source. The glass on the original empty door panel in the house is also uniformly equipped with bulletproof glass and pasted with opaque window film, and the cost of light modification will not be less than 3 million.
In addition to showing the magnanimity of the village chief, it also shows their helplessness. As the target of the sniper, there is only this there is nothing they can do, which shows Feng Quan's fear of the mysterious sniper.
