Chapter 325: Return
The rising sun, emitting golden sunlight, sprinkled all over the earth. Ye Shaolong, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, set off in the early hours of the morning, marched all the way, and finally arrived outside the north gate of the capital before noon.
The Eight-Nation Alliance is stationed here at the moment, and when they saw Ye Shaolong coming, it was still Red * Ben who came to talk to Ye Shaolong this time.
In fact, there was nothing to talk about, Ye Shaolong saw that the army of foreigners was all stationed outside the city, and even released all the hostages.
Red Ben did not dare to stay long, and returned to the barracks with all the hostages, and after a while, he saw that the foreigners began to pack their things and set off in the direction of Jinmen.
Seeing the foreign army leave, Ye Shaolong asked the tower to take people into the city to inspect first. The north gate was wide open, and there was no one on the tower.
The iron tower led 300 cavalry into the north gate and galloped down the unpopulated street.
In the past, the crowded streets of the capital have become such a lifeless place in less than a month after being occupied by foreigners.
The tower didn't stop at any on the streets, but went straight to the Forbidden City.
The gates of the palace were also wide open, and there were no half people guarding them inside and outside. The tower directly left 200 people to stay at the palace gate, and the remaining 100 people walked into the palace with him.
There are still some old eunuchs and old palace maids in the palace, they are all homeless servants, so when the foreigners occupied the Forbidden City, they did not leave, but still stayed.
The arrival of the iron tower and his party made these old eunuchs and old palace maids begin to panic. Fortunately, they soon learned that these men's men were sent by the little emperor.
Tie Ta did not hide his identity, and under his propaganda, soon, the old eunuch and the old palace maid calmed down.
Pulling an old eunuch over, the iron tower urn asked angrily: "Have the foreigners in the palace been evacuated cleanly, and there is nothing hidden or left behind, right?" ”
The old eunuch is indeed very old, his teeth have fallen out, and he is also leaking when he speaks: "All gone, the foreigners have been gone since last night." ”
Tie Ta didn't say anything, but asked a few people again, and the answers he got were exactly the same as the old eunuch before, and he was relieved.
"Go around the palace and see anyone suspicious, take them all into custody. If anyone dares to do anything against you, kill me!" ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers responded in unison, and then the three of them formed a team and scattered.
The tower turned and walked out of the palace, mounted his horse at the palace gate, and galloped out of the city.
The little emperor was already waiting impatiently in the carriage, so he simply got out of the carriage and stayed with Ye Shaolong. At this time, he saw that the tower had not come out of the city for so long. In a hurry, he couldn't help but ask Ye Shaolong: "Why hasn't it come out yet, is there something wrong?" ”
The little emperor's mood at the moment, Ye Shaolong naturally understood, and comforted with a smile: "Wait patiently for a while, this capital is not small, not to mention that you have to make sure that the palace is safe or not, there is no hour that cannot be finished." ”
Ye Shaolong's comfort seemed to have worked, and the little emperor gradually calmed down. However, Su Can also came over at this time, and said with a smile: "The emperor is going to the palace, I don't need to, is it possible for me to enter the city now." ”
Foreigners obviously don't leave any ambushes in the city, and if they do, they should be in the palace. Therefore, Ye Shaolong could not stop Su Can from entering the city again.
"After the eldest brother enters the city, you still need to be careful, the foreigner has just left, and he doesn't know ...... yet."
"Okay, okay, why are you getting more and more mother-in-law!"
Su Can was impatient, and he didn't want to listen to Ye Shaolong's rambling at all. Turning around and shouting at the beggar gang disciples, he poured into the capital with three thousand beggar gang disciples, and disappeared into the streets and alleys of the city in a short time.
Obviously, Su Can couldn't wait, in order to rescue those detained beggar disciples as quickly as possible, he was not cautious at all, but directly let people disperse and go to find them.
Seeing that Su Can had already entered the city, the little emperor couldn't sit still now, and spoke again: "Shaolong, you see that Brother Su has entered, there should be no problem, I think it is better for us to go into the city too." ”
Ye Shaolong just wanted to reply, but at this time, he saw the iron tower galloping over, and before the horse stopped, the iron tower had already jumped and flew down, knelt on one leg and said to Ye Shaolong: "Boss, the city is safe, and the palace is still checking!" ”
"Well, thank you!" Ye Shaolong nodded and let the tower get up.
"Your Majesty, then let's go into the city too!"
"What are you waiting for, let's go!" The little emperor waited impatiently for Ye Shaolong's words.
He didn't even ride a horse, so he walked with his legs up to the gate. Ye Shaolong originally wanted him to ride on a horse, but he had no choice but to follow.
The emperor and the marshal did not ride horses, and the tower did not dare to cross it, so they raised their feet and followed. Behind them was an army slowly following.
It was only at this moment that the people in the capital saw someone peeking out of the window or behind the closed gate. When they saw that the people who entered the city were no longer those foreigners or widows, they dared to open the door and come out to investigate.
Gradually, the capital seemed to come to life again, and the people soon learned that the emperor had come back, and all the foreigners had been driven away.
There is no need to be oppressed by foreigners, the people are happy, more and more people are pouring out of their homes, congratulating each other on the streets and alleys, and the excitement is no worse than the New Year.
Looking at the cheering people on the streets and alleys, the little emperor couldn't be happy. As the king of a country, he couldn't even defend the imperial city, which undoubtedly made him feel very unhappy.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, the little emperor had just walked in, and he was greeted by two or three hundred eunuchs and palace maids kneeling on the ground.
More than a dozen old eunuchs with burn marks all over their bodies cried bitterly and cried: "Your Majesty, the slaves should die, they failed to defend the Old Summer Palace, and they were robbed and burned ......down by those foreigners and Japanese robbers." ”
At this point, the old eunuch couldn't cry anymore, and his head was directly banged. After a while, I saw that his forehead was already red.
The little emperor's face was gloomy, and he looked indifferently at the old eunuch's incessant kowtow, as if he had no mercy at all, and he didn't intend to stop it.
Ye Shaolong can't stand it anymore, an old eunuch, even if he is no longer able to torture people like this.
Bending down to stop the old eunuch from continuing to kowtow, Ye Shaolong gently persuaded: "Old man, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault for this." It's not just that you can't do anything in the face of foreigners, but we are also able to drive them away after a lot of hardships. ”
The old eunuch looked at Ye Shaolong in amazement, he didn't recognize who Ye Shaolong was. Ye Shaolong's words just now were definitely rebellious, and they were said in front of the emperor.
If this had been left behind, it would have been pulled up and beheaded in minutes, and it was not impossible to implicate the clansmen if it was serious.
However, what puzzled the old eunuch was that the little emperor was still indifferent at this moment, as if he hadn't heard what Ye Shaolong had just said.
