Chapter 208: Assassination III

readx;

In recent years, the development of Hangzhou has been quite rapid, and the superior geographical location has made the people of this ancient city already live a life of worry-free food and clothing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info's support for the court and the emperor is deeper than in other places, and the non-stop boasting of local newspapers and Daqing Daily has made the local people's worship of the emperor have reached a blind realm.

In a tavern in a deep alley, three or five big men gathered around the table and chatted while drinking.

"I said, who ate leopard gall a few days ago to attack Hangzhou Mansion and assassinate the current emperor?" A big man with a meaty face said.

"God knows, didn't the emperor's Imperial Forest Army solve it easily! How can these little thieves compete with the true Son of Heaven? ”

The big man took a big sip of wine and said, "Hey, it's a pity that I can't see the emperor." I heard that the current emperor is only 26 years old, but he looks like a 62-year-old man. He saw everything thoroughly, and played with the foreigners between applause. You can fight for our big Qing Dynasty! ”

"Isn't it, even the Germans have sent the princess over to our emperor as a concubine." The young man who spoke suddenly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Brother, do you know that tomorrow the emperor will go to Lingyin Heaven." Let's have a chance to see the holy face! ”

As he spoke, the big man's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Really? Then let's go to Lingyin tomorrow, wouldn't we be able to meet the emperor? Your kid's news is not accurate, let Lao Tzu run for nothing, be careful that Lao Tzu beats you. ”

"That's right, my brother-in-law's cousin is on an errand in the Yamen of Hangzhou Mansion, and he has already followed him to Feilaifeng today." The young man shouted anxiously.

It may be that I drank too much, and the sound of several people chatting is getting louder and louder. At a wine table five meters away from them, four big men in black clothes and black pants sat without saying a word, and they really thought they were sculptures from a distance, and all four of them wore top hats with fake braids.

At that time, both military reservists and professional soldiers had to cut their braids, but most of the retired soldiers and reservists who had been transferred to their hometowns became an alternative without braids, and it was disrespectful to their parents to not keep braids at that time. So this top hat with fake braids became popular overnight.

It is not difficult to see that these four people are not simple demobilized reserve soldiers. Sitting still without a few years of training in the barracks will not be able to do it in any case! It wasn't until the table across from them had eaten and drunk enough to leave that the four of them got up and left.

The four men in black who appeared in the tavern did not attract anyone's attention at all, because in Hangzhou, even a serving naval officer would come to have a drink or two between the warships docked at the docks, so it was not surprising to meet a few soldiers in the tavern.

On this morning, the sky in Hangzhou was covered with black clouds, and a shower was approaching. However, when the showers are not coming, the air pressure is low and the temperature is high, which makes people feel extremely unpleasant to breathe.

"Your Majesty, this weather looks like there is a torrential rain, why don't we go another day?" Feng Xianghua seems to be making a last-ditch effort.

"I don't deceive the people, and of course I can't deceive the sky. Since ancient times, emperors have always been true to their word, why do you have to break your word when you come to me? Guan Xuqing said with a smile.

"The minister is confused, everything is ready, please ask the emperor to take off." Feng Xianghua handed Guan Xuqing a golden robe and said.

Guan Xuqing put on his robe and quickly left the dormitory. Beside him, he closely followed the "Top Ten Masters of the Forbidden Palace" and Feng Xianghua, Luo Ming and others.

Today's Feng Xianghua is even more nervous than when he led a battalion of men and horses to sneak attack the French artillery regiment, his right hand tightly grasped the sword that Zuo Zongtang gave him back then, and his left hand held the Mauser behind his back, and his eyes kept looking around......

Dozens of people sat around Wu Guang's general's mansion, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at the map of Hangzhou on the table.

"Report, division commander. Commander Liu reported intercepting messengers sent by the Jiang Dynasty Grandmaster in Taiyuan and Hebei. A communications soldier handed over two unopened letters.

Wu Guang raised his head, looked away from the map, took the letter and waved at the soldier, and opened the letter casually. The correspondent then turned and left! But Wu Guang looked at it more and tightened his brows.

"Bump." Wu Guang slapped his palm on the table, and said indignantly: "Hmph, Jiang Chaozong doesn't know how to lift. actually played yin with Lao Tzu, obeying us on the surface, and secretly wanted to report to Guangxu. Let's see how Lao Tzu gets rid of his sixteen divisions together! ”

"General Wu is angry, Jiang Chaozong is a martial artist, so there is no need to worry. At present, the most important thing is to get rid of this kid Guangxu first. According to a report from Hangzhou, Guangxu is going to Lingyin Jitian today. The terrain is complicated, so it's a great opportunity! Zhu Yintao stood up and said.

"Yes, that's right. Tell Lin Feng to let them set up an ambush on Feilai Peak and swear to take Guangxu's head. Wu Guang gritted his teeth and said.

Guangxu's pro-government was due to the fact that he led the troops to protect the Beijing Division when he was the commander-in-chief of Tianjin, so that the whole country could be instantly spread overnight. But after Guangxu came to power, not only did he not get promoted, but he was targeted everywhere. That's why he took the risk of going to another name, because here he was able to get everything he wanted. And all this seems to him now is very smooth, the plan is very perfect, just wait for Guangxu to die, the northwest can follow the United States, and become independent from now on.

On the other side, Guan Xuqing sat in a sedan chair after coming out of Hangzhou Mansion. The left and right are still the personal guards of the "Top Ten Masters of the Forbidden Palace", and in front are the first and second companies of the first battalion of the guard regiment, and the third company behind the palace. In the middle are more than two hundred Royal Forest Army, and the other troops are already guarding the highest point around Lingyin!

Along the way, thousands of people on both sides of the street shouted: "Long live the emperor...... Long live the Qing Dynasty", and even more so in order to see the holy face, there was a fierce physical friction with the yamen officials on the street.

Some of them were stronger, and they really broke through the obstruction of the errand soldiers. But as soon as he walked into the side of the road, he was directly taken down by the well-trained Royal Forest Army. Among the people, there are many Qing secret agents who even Feng Xianghua doesn't know, and their skills and marksmanship may not be inferior to Guan Xuqing's Imperial Forest Army, all arranged by Zhao Bingjun.

Although it was noisy, it was safe along the way. But people like Feng Xianghua and Luo Ming are like mirrors in their hearts, and the real dangerous place has not yet arrived.

"Boom ......"

A loud bang startled the entire marching team, and everyone subconsciously pulled the bolt. Aiming in all directions, while everyone was holding their breath and desperately looking for a point of impact. In an instant, the pouring rain fell instantly...... Everyone put away their guns.

"It turned out to be thunder. Scared the hell out of me! Luo Ming rode his horse and said as he put the snatch back into the snatching sleeve.
