Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Drama Bone The Tomb Robber

After the French army entered Chongqing, they withdrew with the Qing army defending the city, and the soldiers and civilians of Chongqing rose up to resist, and the French gathered their troops, only to hear several consecutive gunshots in Chongqing City, and swept them away. Like robbers, these French soldiers rushed into the house, saw a woman, forcibly pushed into the dark room, pulled off her clothes, and then four or five people rushed in and made her **. When the old man heard his granddaughter's screams, he picked up the hoe in the corner of the wall and said, "You robbers, I fought with you," and was finally shot dead by the French soldiers. The girl lying in the straw mat was naked, her eyes were round, tears were still flowing from the corners of her eyes, her body was motionless, it seemed that she was dead, and the last fire burned her. In the courtyard, chickens and dogs jumped, and these French soldiers swaggered out with guns and chickens, ducks and geese on their shoulders. A tragedy spreads, and many residents inside and outside Chongqing are the same, with corpses strewn all over the field and fireworks filled the field. These people have nowhere to redress their grievances, but to hang themselves collectively at home. The country is shattered, and the people are suffering.

Ambassador Linsey, the French Counsellor, was stationed in the French Concession in Chongqing, and these officials in Chongqing went to visit Ambassador Lin. Lin Xi wore a Chinese official uniform to meet these officials, and their eyes immediately lit up. When these officials saw this, they all praised and said, "Ambassador Lin is really brilliant after wearing our official uniform." ”

"Well, just two words to describe it, mighty," the officials in the same group all looked at each other and said with a smile.

"Okay, please sit down," after the officials sat down, Counselor Lin said: "Don't call me Counselor Lin in the future, in fact, we should be called Lord Lin just like you." ”

The officials stood up and arched their hands in front of them, and said, "This official led all the officials to meet Lord Lin." ”

"Okay, sit down," then Counselor Lin ordered the people standing next to him to serve coffee, and said, "This is our coffee, please taste it." ”

"This black thing is your coffee, I really haven't tasted it, try it first," one of the officials carefully observed the cup in front of him, took a big drink, felt that the taste was a little strange, and said, "I feel a kind of bitterness." ”

"In fact, he is like you Chinese tea, you have to taste it carefully to taste its taste."

One of the older officials picked up the cup in front of him unhurriedly, tasted it carefully, smiled slightly, and said, "There is a hint of sweetness in the bitterness, it is the best in coffee," and then gave a thumbs up.

"You have a Chinese cultural origin, I like it a lot, for example, your Sichuan opera in Sichuan is very good, what are your famous roles in Chongqing?"

"Yes, there is a person who is a household name in our Chongqing, and his singing of "Qiwang Reform" caused a sensation in the whole of Chongqing."

"Who are you talking about?" At this time, Lin Xi's interest was aroused, so he asked.

"Qiu Hongru."

"Okay, you go down and make arrangements."

There is a theater in the east of the city, which is full of customers every day, maybe they all come to listen to Qiu Hongru's "Qiwang Reform". The audience sometimes cheered like thunder, and everyone applauded and threw silver on the stage. At this moment, many officers and soldiers rushed into the venue to surround the venue, drive away these guests who were listening to the play, and immediately cleared the venue. An official walked in with great force, and the head of the squad stepped forward and said, "Lord Yang, our theater is legal, and you have brought so many officers and soldiers here." ”

"The venue here is all covered, wait for our Lord Lin to come to listen to the play in a while. Where is Boss Qiu? The official wants to talk to Boss Qiu," and then Qiu Hongru stepped forward and said, "The grass people are Qiu Hongru, I don't know which Lord Lin has such a big pomp?" ”

"Counselor Linsey, go down and get ready to go."

"It's a barbarian," Qiu Hongru sneered a few times after hearing this, and then Shaobai stepped forward and said, "We don't sing for foreigners." ”

"You don't want to toast and not eat and drink, and let you taste the pain of torture when the time comes," Lord Yang's face suddenly changed.

Qiu Hongru pushed Shaobai behind him and said, "Don't be rude," and then said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of drama this Lord Lin likes to listen to?" ”

"It's still Boss Qiu's interest, you can sing "Qiwang Change" when you watch it, you will become popular after singing, you are a famous character here, and the Queen Mother also likes to listen to operas, so the official recommends you to sing in the capital."

"Then thank you Lord Yang for your love," Qiu Hongru paused for a while, and said with expressive eyes: "How can you sing "Qiwang Change" at this time? According to the grass people, just sing "Qiwang Zhanjian Pavilion", Lord Yang, can you see it? ”

"Okay, okay, just "King Qi's Battle Sword Pavilion", you go down and prepare to go."

Qiu Hongru pulled the white sleeves into the backstage. After Shaobai entered the backstage, he was still unconvinced: "Father, how can you do this?" Singing for foreigners is a national thief, and it will be a stench for thousands of years in the future, don't ruin the reputation of our pear orchard for fame and fortune. ”

"Go and bring King Qi's robes."

"Father."

"Bring it, prepare to go out to fight," Shaobai brought the robe and put it on him. After that, Qiu Hongru said a meaningful sentence, "Son, my father did not insult the integrity of the countrymen, because I am also a Chinese and a general." ”

The gongs and drums sounded, and the soldiers slowly came out of the corner gate, waving the pennant. Qiu Hongru stood behind the pennant and slowly walked out and stood in front of them. At this time, Qiu Hongru drew a big red face, the eyes between the black eyebrows are like copper beads, the long beard is on the chest, so fierce that people are afraid to watch, wearing a big red robe and stepping out with two feet, striding out, picking up the beard with one hand and lifting the sword on the waist with the other, it is very mighty, and shouted: "This general is the son of Bashu, and those who dare to invade the enemy country will stop it outside the pass," and then the backstage sang: "The flying flowers in June are red and gorgeous, and the soldiers guarding the pass are looking forward to the return date?" What day is it? ”

Suddenly, a young general (dressed as Xiaobai) came to report and said, "Report to Your Highness, there are 200,000 Qin soldiers outside the city." ”

"Wow," King Qi (played by Qiu Hongru) got up angrily and said, "You will go out of the city with Ben to observe the enemy's situation and explore the reality," King Qi strode down, stretched his neck and looked left and right under the platform, his eyes kept turning, he was thinking about something.

Lin Xi, the counselor in the audience, asked Lord Yang next to him, "Who is this King Qi?" ”

"King Qi is the son of Ba at the end of the Warring States Period, and he defeated the 200,000 powerful Qin army at Jianmen Pass, and everyone commemorates his exploits and respects him as King Qi."

After listening to these words of Lord Yang, Counselor Lin Xi continued to watch the stage, where the two soldiers fought fiercely. As soon as King Qi's spear came out, the enemy general grabbed King Qi's spear and flipped several times back and forth, and the enemy retreated. Qiu Hongru faced the audience, Shaobai stood beside him, looked at his father, his eyes were as big as copper beads, and shouted: "If the enemy country dares to attack, it will be blocked from the country, wahaha...," and then the spear in his hand flew out, pierced the neck of Counselor Linxi, and fell in a pool of blood. The Qing soldiers outside the field rushed in, and as soon as the spear in his hand came out, Qiu Hongru shouted, "Long live my emperor!" Long live the Great Qing Kingdom! A few gunshots rang out, Qiu Hongru fell, and Shaobai, who was on the side, shouted: "Father," rushed forward and cried bitterly. The Qing soldiers rushed forward and took Shaobai down and put him on death row, where he was beheaded three days later.

French Ambassador Plenipotentiary Henri led troops into the theater, sealed off the theater, and forbade any idle people to enter or leave without permission, and then carried out the body of Counselor Lindsey and transported it back to mainland France for burial with a high standard of national etiquette. After calling the class master, the class master had never seen such a big formation, he was so frightened that he trembled, he didn't know what he was saying, he looked at Lord Yang next to him, Lord Yang didn't know what to say, only looked at the face of the plenipotentiary ambassador.

"Give you a chance to atone for your sins, and take us to King Qi's tomb."

"Yes, yes," the head of the class hurriedly agreed.

Niubei Mountain is cloudy, the mountain is endless, and there is a large stone gate in front of the mountain pack, which is covered by weeds and branches. The head of the squad led these French soldiers up the mountain, broke off the pressed branches with one hand, lifted the covering weeds, faced Henry behind him, and said, "This is the tomb of King Qi." ”

Ambassador Henry stepped forward and asked, "That's the mechanism that opens the door to the tomb." ”

"I don't know about this, I heard that there are many outsiders who come to rob the tomb, but they have not returned. However, no one has ever opened this wooden door, so there is no mechanism to open the tomb door. ”

Ambassador Henry ordered the soldiers to look around, but they couldn't find the location of the mechanism. Then bury ** in front of the stone gate, intending to blow up this stone gate. Ignited the fuse, ran under the boulder under the mountain to hide, a loud noise, the rocks flew, the earth trembled, the birds in the forest flew away, but the stone gate did not move at all, and then heard a crisp sound under the feet, the stone gate slowly opened.

The stone door opened, "and they were full of surprise."

They ran to the stone gate and peeked into it, but it was pitch black, and they could see nothing. Henry pushed the head of the class forward and said, "Lead the way ahead." ”

"I heard that this place is very evil, and those who enter the tomb will die," the head of the class leaned into the stone gate, and was afraid.

"If you don't lead the way, you will die, after you find the treasure, I will give you some of it, think about it yourself."

"Well, take a risk for the sake of these treasures," said the head of the class reluctantly. Walking cautiously, these French soldiers followed, and after entering, the stone door slowly fell, and the long tunnel was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, only the crisp sound of dripping water was heard. Touching the stone wall and walking forward cautiously, there are many bright spots above his head, and the bright spots are shining around a gem, maybe these are the sun, moon and stars, slightly dim. The class master touched the stone wall with one hand and felt that his palms were very cold, and the wind in the tunnel was continuous, and his body was constantly trembling. At this moment, a pair of blood-gled eyes appeared in front of their eyes, and a hissing sound was made. The head of the class suddenly turned blue, black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes protruded and slowly fell. Henry panicked and took out his lighter, lit the torch in his hand, and there was a huge snake coiled in front of their eyes, with two horns on its head and its tongue raised high, as if it was ready to attack them. Henry ordered all the soldiers to take out their lighters and drive the huge poisonous snake away, and then they came to a stone gate, and the torches on the stone wall were lit, and the green light was straight up, and the green mist was filled in front of the stone gate. The stone gate was in tatters, the stone pillars fell very messily in front of the stone gate, and the ground was covered with white bones.

Ambassador Henry walked up the stone steps and stood on the high platform, stunned by what he saw. There are a lot of terracotta warriors and horses erected under the high platform, and these are all Qin terracotta warriors, the terracotta warriors and horses step on a small square under their feet, and the black pressure is very much like a powerful military array, there is a carriage in the array, a carriage drawn by eight horses, infantry, cavalry, and chariots and horses are shocked in front of his eyes. Henry walked down dumbfounded, I don't know what mechanism he stepped on, these warriors moved smoothly, changing their formation, and the infantry retreated and the crossbowmen stepped forward, drawing their bows and arrows. One of the French generals rushed forward and said, "Protect the ambassador." The French soldiers rushed forward, and the general stood behind. Then ten thousand arrows were fired, and before these soldiers could shoot, the dense arrow feathers in the air fell like raindrops, and the whole army was buried in this tomb. A general rode forward on a tall horse, and the Changge in his hand came out, hooking off the head of a French general. Ambassador Henry withdrew in a panic, his face turned pale, and ran to the tomb gate with a guard. At this time, the guard felt that his feet were very cold, and then slowly fell, and the dense poisonous snake covered it, and instantly turned into a pile of white bones. Henry hurriedly stepped back, accidentally fell, kept kicking his feet back, leaned against the corner of the stone wall, and his hands touched the stone wall randomly, I don't know what mechanism he touched, and the stone door slowly opened. One of the legions was buried in the grave, and now only Henry escaped.
