Chapter 242: Han Ying's Story
Although Guo Xing'a was frightened by the super pit goods Shengbao and didn't dare to enter Beijing, he still cared very much about the Allied Army's dispatch of the Old Summer Palace. In the memory of Guoxing's previous life, the capture of Beijing by the coalition forces did not cause any harm to Beijing, the Forbidden City did not enter, and the common people did not suffer any harm. The only one that suffered was the Old Summer Palace, the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens, which was not only robbed clean, but also burned to the ground.
Guo Xing'a is a money fan, and he is very distressed when the garden is burned, and he is even more unwilling to let the treasures of the garden be taken away by foreigners. So as soon as he heard that the coalition army had just set off from Deshengmen and was heading for the Old Summer Palace, Guo Xing'a couldn't sit still. Although the main force did not move, it also sent a large number of scouts to survey the terrain around the Old Summer Palace, and prepared to defend the Old Summer Palace.
It is also a bad historical study of Guoxing'a, in history, the coalition forces did not set fire to the Old Summer Palace as soon as they entered it, they robbed it first, and then robbed it again after a few days, and then they set it on fire. Guo Xing'a still thinks that the coalition forces are holding back to burn the Old Summer Palace? That's why I was so nervous, not only the scouts, but also the people from the miscellaneous affairs department were mobilized.
When Seng Lingqin and Ruilin took a curtain call, Fushun, the number one spy leader of the miscellaneous affairs department under Guoxing'a, had already changed into a eunuch uniform, entered Qingyan in Kyushu, and saw the full picture of the three gardens of the Old Summer Palace, Changchun Garden, and Wanchun Garden. Zou Degui, the mute apprentice Han Ying who had never spoken, became Fushun's chief bodyguard, always following Fushun and guiding him.
"You seem to be very familiar with the roads in this garden, you have been here before!" Several surveying and mapping soldiers were copying the whole map and standardizing some commanding heights and special buildings, while Fushun seemed to be casually gossiping with Han Ying. Along the way, Fushun had long been suspicious, although Han Ying had explored the location of the whole map of the Three Gardens in advance, he was too familiar with the path in the garden, as if he felt like he was back home.
The dumb Han Ying just smiled and shook his head, and didn't make any gestures to explain, and didn't match Fushun's words. Fushun frowned, and it was not good to ask, Han Ying was a mysterious person, no one knew his past, let alone wanted to find out anything from him. Several soldiers drew a section each, and soon completed the copying of the whole map of the three gardens, and after putting them together and comparing them correctly, Fushun and the others began to walk in the direction of the algae garden, preparing to sneak out of the Old Summer Palace.
Along the way, Han Ying walked in front of the head, and a group of seven or eight people lined up in a queue of eunuchs, walking with their heads bowed and in an orderly manner. Han Ying also kept her head down and never looked up, but she never missed the roundabout path. Fushun watched from behind, becoming more and more suspicious, in an unfamiliar environment, no matter how great his ability is, he must rely on some iconic things to determine the direction. Like Han Ying, who can distinguish the direction by glancing at the small trees and palace lights at the intersection from the corner of his eye, he must be very familiar with people here. However, Han Ying refused to confide, and Fushun had no way to force him.
"I said that outsiders can't easily get in, it turns out that there is an inner ghost like you!" Everyone walked to the high water chief, as long as they crossed the river, there was a algae garden, and the mood of stealing into the royal forbidden land had just relaxed a little, and a somewhat sharp voice suddenly sounded in the dark.
The people in the miscellaneous department were all well-trained, and they didn't need any greetings at all, and they had dispersed quickly. The dagger in the left hand, the right *, crossed cover each other, ready for battle. However, Han Ying, who has the strongest martial arts, is like a stone statue, standing in place and not moving.
"A few little cubs, a few hands and three-legged cat kung fu, and dare to compare in front of the masters, it's really a thing that doesn't know death!" With the words, more than two dozen men in strong suits walked out of the shadows with knives, but the voices were still so sharp that it was uncomfortable to listen to men and women.
"Don't!"
"Bang!"
Seeing that someone came out of the shadows, Fu Shun chose to shoot without hesitation, but the moment he pulled the trigger, Han Ying pushed his arm away and said two words.
"Foreign guns!" The people who came out of the shadows shouted in surprise, and more than two dozen people drew their blades.
"Don't move! Believe me! Han Ying ignored the big men who showed their blades, and instead used his body to block the muzzles of the people in the miscellaneous department.
"Good!" Fushun simply agreed, and began to retreat, but he did not put away his gun, and motioned for the people behind him to prepare*. These people seem to know Han Ying, but Fu Shun doesn't care, but they can lurk here to intercept themselves, and they are not discovered by a master like Han Ying, which shows that their martial arts are also very strong. Although his team has the advantage of guns, the distance is a little too close, and Fu Shun wants to take advantage of the opportunity created by Han Ying's sudden speech to retreat and widen the distance between the two sides. As long as you retreat to ten meters away, no matter how strong your martial arts are, you will not be as powerful as a pistol.
"The slave Han Ying has asked the chief eunuch for peace!" Han Ying saluted the big man led by a thousand bows, and Fushun, who pushed out some distance, also saw these people clearly, although they were tall, they were all wearing eunuch clothes.
"Little Hanzi, you can do it! When you broke the rules, your kid ran away, and the master couldn't catch you back, so count your kid lucky. But you really ate the leopard's guts today, not only did you dare to come back, but you also dared to take outsiders and enter the palace privately. You are the master's own son, and the master can't spare you! Don't let your master bother, just tie your hands and catch it! Those little cubs, don't just want to rush out with a few foreign guns, you don't want to be afraid of any foreign things! The eunuch at the head looked at Han Ying's expression a little complicated, but he didn't care about the pistol in Fushun's hand.
"Senior Brother Ren Liang, I respect you as my senior brother, we were brought out by a master, so I asked you for this peace, not because you are the chief eunuch. These people are also my people from the Qing Dynasty, they are doing things for the imperial court, for the people of our Qing Dynasty, please let them go. Han Ying stood up, and his expression became serious.
"Entering the palace privately is to do things for the court, and you can figure it out. You are a palace man who has escaped, and you brought people into the palace to do things for the court? If you want to make up nonsense, you can make it up, but it's not in this series, you will tie the rope at a while, and when you get to the Shen Criminal Division, as long as you can survive the torture equipment, you can make it up as much as you like. Han Ying's explanation was too pale, let alone Ren Liang, no one would believe him.
"Also, stop calling me Senior Brother! You know how big a basket you provoked at the beginning, and the master accompanied himself for your business! If it weren't for you, I would still be the leader of these eight products to this day! Ren Liang pointed at Han Ying's nose and scolded.
"It was me who was not good at the beginning, and it affected you and the master!" Han Ying didn't refute, lowered her head and let Ren Liang scold bitterly.
"Don't think I don't know, if you don't come back sooner or later, you just come back this day, what are you going to do. Now that the Long Live Lord is hunting in the north, there is chaos outside, and the hearts of the people in the garden are not tidy. You brought a few apprentices back, you want to get that little prodigal hoof out without knowing it! Ren Liang saw that Fushun and the others were in the same vein as Han Ying, but their skills were still far behind, and he regarded Fushun and others as Han Ying's apprentices.
"She's still alive, where is she?" Han Ying became excited all of a sudden, when he cried and begged Zou Degui to teach martial arts, he had the intention of one day succeeding in martial arts and sneaking into the Old Summer Palace to save people. But as time passed, he also figured it out little by little, and some false thoughts were put aside.
"Don't be delusional, as long as this Ren Liang still exists, as long as the skilled eunuchs in this courtyard are not dead, don't think about defiling this forbidden place. You have violated the forbidden laws of the heavenly family, and you still admit it! Ren Liang approached Han Ying step by step with a knife, as if the two of them were competing in martial arts in the past.
The skilled eunuchs were a group of eunuchs with martial arts specially trained in the Qing court to guard the palace and defend the royal family. According to legend, the first batch of skilled eunuchs were the ones used by Kangxi when he cleaned up the worship. Starting from Kangxi, the Qing palace will deliberately select shrewd and strong people from among the new young eunuchs who are purified every year, and the martial arts will be taught by famous teachers, and they will become the personal guards of the royal family members after completing their studies. However, in the early Qing Dynasty, the emperor was surrounded by imperial guards, and there were also eight banner soldiers guarding the palace ban everywhere, and there were not many places where skilled eunuchs could be used. It wasn't until after Daoguang that the eunuchs of Jiyong became more and more used, and after the guards of the Old Summer Palace were removed, the guards of the Old Summer Palace were handed over to the eunuchs of Jiyong.
Ren Liang and Han Yingyuan are both skilled eunuchs in the Old Summer Palace, and the two are still brothers who have studied art with a master since childhood, and their relationship is very close. But when the good days come to an end, the eunuch is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he has to pursue it a little. Because the skilled eunuch does not specialize in serving his master, the probability of becoming a powerful chief eunuch is extremely low, so everyone is not very interested in power. The skilled eunuchs are greedy for money, greedy for power and hopeless, and they are all out of their arms and thighs, and they secrete a lot of male hormones, Han Ying gradually has a mind for women.
Han Yingren looks good, and the appearance and physique of the skilled eunuch are not comparable to ordinary eunuchs, so they are naturally very popular with the palace maids. After coming and going, Han Ying became a rival with a palace maid named An Yun in Guanlan Hall. The matter of eating this kind of virtual phoenix and fake phoenix, that is, the palace maid and the eunuch find a psychological comfort, and there are often releases in all dynasties, and it is also a semi-public matter in the palace, so it will not cause any trouble. But it happened that Han Ying was unlucky, and the two of them were also sick, and they did too much when they were intimate, and they happened to be bumped into by Concubine Qi. The food suddenly became a major event in the filthy palace, Han Ying, who should have been killed, escaped with his martial arts, but An Yun was captured by the pursuers halfway. For this matter, Yiying and others related to Han Ying were punished, his master was removed from his position, and Ren Liang was stuck in the position of the leader of the eighth grade and couldn't move. So Ren Liang wanted to capture Han Ying and clean up the portal, and Han Ying occasionally fantasized that An Yun was not dead, and he could rescue his good friends, and he would live and live in the future. Han Ying fled all the way from the Old Summer Palace to Gu'an, and by chance hid in the empty courtyard arranged by Guoxing's father to be a god, and then he worshiped Zou Degui as a teacher to learn martial arts. Han Ying has always pretended to be dumb and didn't dare to speak, because he has been clean since he was a child and has not experienced adolescence voice change, and his voice is particularly easy to reveal his identity.
"Bang, bang, bang......!" In the face of the approaching senior brother, Han Ying didn't know what to do, and Fushun behind him had already retreated to a safe distance with his group, and he didn't hesitate to shoot at a group of skilled eunuchs.
