Forbidden City, Xihua Gate

Yilin'a should be Manchuria's white flag capital Nahle's compatriot, but since the great-grandfather Xianfeng Dynasty has been estranged, to this generation Yilin'a was also elected to the Xianyang Palace official school, until Pingbu Qingyun became a four-grade sword guard, in the eyes of others, their family is really the ancestor of the green smoke, and the shit luck

Only Irina, who is the eldest son in the family, knows the reason for all this, it is all because his great-grandfather married a woman with a blue flag, and this woman, that is, Irina's great-grandmother, was born in the Yehenala clan, so in the past fifty years, their family has been able to rise to the top, from the slave before and after, to now most people have to call "master" when they go out, which is why Yilina's family can rise to prominence, but they have never been able to be a prominent official. But he was a gatekeeper at this Xihua Gate, but not all of them were instructed by him

In the sixth year of Guangxu, after Cixi was overthrown, Yilin A has been following the allegiance to Prince Li Shiduo, after Prince Li Shiduo was deprived of real power, he did not think about changing the court, but soon several people who moved faster than themselves died one after another, and died unexplained, and he was promoted to a level for no reason Yilin A's heart suddenly cooled down, how could anyone who had not done a few bad things in the officialdom, even if Prince Li Shiduo retreated behind the scenes, To pinch himself to death such a disobedient person is still like pinching an ant to death, so Yilin Abi has restrained a lot before, it can be said that he is a man with his tail between his legs, and in the past five years, it has indeed been calm, I thought that I could spend the rest of my life in peace, but I didn't think that a wax pill delivered with the meal the day before yesterday still pushed him to the cusp

In the midst of a raging storm, a tightly covered carriage came galloping at last

Irina was the first to come out of the cave of the city gate, and just as the carriage was stopped in the rain, and on the throne of the carriage sat an old eunuch who was as old as he was about to die, and there was no expression on his face, and then the curtain of the carriage was lifted to reveal the people inside

Cold, palpitating, and all kinds of feelings swept over, Yilin A trembled slightly, hurriedly gave a salute, turned back and shouted at the other guards at the city gate: "Open the door, let go"

The axle of the carriage made a "squeak" sound, the wheels turned again, Yilin Ah also walked back to the city gate cave and shook the water on his body, and a Jin guard next to him leaned over: "Head, what kind of person is so big and earthy"

Yilin'a glanced at him and said coldly: "Why are you asking so much, how deep is the water in this palace?" The more you know, the faster your head falls," the guard laughed dryly and retreated

Seeing that the carriage was about to go out of the Xihua Gate, suddenly a group of people and horses rushed out obliquely from the inside of the palace wall, and the costumes were very different from the guards of the forbidden palace, all of them were all apricot yellow military uniforms, and the two people shouted on the horse: "The emperor decreed that no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace gate tonight, and the palace gate guards intercept the carriage in front."

Yilin's face was suddenly colorless when he heard this, in this Forbidden City, he had the privilege to ride a horse and gallop wildly, except for the emperor, there was only the imperial forest army ordered by the emperor himself, and the two were the two deputy commanders of the imperial forest army, Dong Enping and Zhang Zhankui

Speaking of the two of them are very famous among the people, Xun Enping's father is the adopted son of Dong Haichuan, the founder of Baguazhang, Xun Haichuan likes to learn various boxing techniques and long-term visits to Jiangnan, on the peach blossom mountain, the young monk continues to high-five the tree and coil the tree around, Dong Ziwei bravely stepped forward to fight with the little monk, and the result was a big defeat, so he invited the old monk, humbly asked for advice, after several cold and summer, to the best of his ability; At the time of parting, the master advised: the skills have been achieved, do not be juvenile and cause trouble, Dong Weiwei promised to go home and occasionally fight with others, so as to hurt people, the official arrest is very tight, Dong Suijing is a eunuch, hidden in the palace of the king of Su, did a dish eunuch for a day, the famous Taijiquan teacher Yang Lucian was called to compete with the boxer in the palace of the king of Su, and won consecutive battles, and finally threw a boxer on the garden net is Shi Xun Haichuan hand holding the vegetable plate from this, immediately flew on the net to rescue the boxer Xun Haichuan and Yang Lucian fight, the two heroes confronted, Victory and defeat are inseparable, from then on Taijiquan and Baguazhang each set up a door, peach and plum Yingmen, passed down to later generations, although Guan Xuqing had not practiced martial arts in his previous life, but he had heard of these two in the late Qing Dynasty martial arts ranking top ten figures, so he tried every means to get the two into the palace, one of his several wishes back to this era is to revive the martial heart of the Chinese nation, for this nation to cultivate a strong physique

Xun Enping is the most outstanding disciple of Dong Haichuan, and is known as the top ten masters in the palace along with Dadao Wang Wu, Zhang Zhankui, Huo Yuanjia, Huang Feihong, Yanzi Li San, Du Xinwu and others

As for Zhang Zhankui, few people may have heard of it, in fact, in history, he is a figure as famous as his fellow villager Huo Yuanjia, his disciple Han Muxia was the chief national arts instructor of the Whampoa Military Academy before liberation, defeated countless foreign masters, killed the Tianjin ring, and the Russian strongman Han Muxia ranked below Du Xinwu on the martial arts list in the late Qing Dynasty, ranking seventh, and above Yanzi Li San

Since the battalions of Gyeonggi were organized into the Praetorian Guard, the guards of the imperial city were a little thin, so there was this Imperial Forest Army, although there were only more than 200 people, it was the closest force to Guan Xuqing, and when he saw them stationed in the Forbidden City for a long time, Yilina knew that the matter was revealed tonight, and then as long as he checked a little, he could know that he was colluding with the "chaotic party", and he would inevitably be stabbed at the entrance of the vegetable market

But he said that people can do crazy things in desperate situations, but Yilina had an idea, and shouted at the stunned guards in Xihua Gate: "Don't listen to them, the emperor sitting in the car, they are going to assassinate the emperor, everyone escort"

The guards guarding the palace gate are all the children of the Eight Banners of the former Gyeonggi battalions, and the martial arts skills do not talk about him, but their identities are not low, but they are pressed by the Royal Forest Army everywhere on weekdays, not only the salary is not as good, but the equipment in their hands is far from comparable, so they have long been resentful in their hearts at this time under unknown circumstances by Yilin A to encourage them, as the so-called "merit is nothing more than saving the car", thinking of Yi Lin A's mystery just now and respect for the people in the car, I couldn't help but believe seven points, and actually picked up the gun

Seeing this, Yilina raised the Mauser pistol in his hand and aimed it at the horse team, and suddenly the gunfire in the Xihua Gate rang out, and the two horsemen in front were short, and the knights behind were on the horses to fight back, Originally, the Imperial Forest Army was not wearing firearms, but after being assassinated by the Japanese Assassins before, Guan Xuqing specially allowed the Royal Forest Army to wear Mauser pistols

At this time, the black carriage didn't care about the guns and bullets flying around, but insisted on rushing out of the Xihua Gate, and the carriage rushed out diagonally along the wall, and it seemed that it was about to disappear into the night outside the palace gate

The two horsemen led by the horse team suddenly sped up, broke away from the cavalry behind, and rushed straight to the city gate, only to see two ownerless war horses galloping wildly in the heavy rain, but the knights above were gone, which looked extremely weird, but Yilina didn't care about being afraid at this time, and a group of guards frantically shot at the two horses, and finally the two horses let out a wail one after another and knelt down not far from the palace gate

At this moment, two figures suddenly burst out of the original unmanned one, and a harrier turned over and landed in the city gate, and a "bang" gunshot, including Yilin'a, all fell to the ground, and it turned out that Xun Enping and Zhang Zhankui just now made a stunt of "kicking and hiding", so they saw people

Looking at the carriage again, at this time, it was stopped crookedly at the base of the wall, Dong Enping and Zhang Zhankui glanced at each other, and each leaned up with a short gun in his hand

The old eunuch who was driving the car was shot several times and lay flat on the wheel, already out of breath, and the curtain was full of blood, Zhang Zhankui lifted the curtain and looked at it, lowered his hand, shook his head slightly to Dong Enping, Xun Enping, who had a crop face, sighed, I don't know whether to feel sad or relieved for the dead in the car

After Yilin'a was killed and the carriage was intercepted, the shootout at Xihuamen also came to an end, because the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Qidong, led a large group of Praetorian Guards to arrive after hearing the gunshots, and he immediately stopped the shooting from both sides when he arrived

Qidong is the son of Guan Xuqing's nurse Cui Xi, because Guan Xuqing has been loved by his nursing mother since he was a child, especially during the time when he was stabbed into a coma when he was a child, Cui Xi was inseparable from him day and night, which led to Li Lianying's complete failure of their assassination operation In gratitude, because of this Qidong's loyalty to himself, he handed over the Praetorian Guard to him

"Want to rebel? Dare to shoot at the feet of the Son of Heaven? Could it be that the emperor issued you guns against his own people? Qidong shouted at the Imperial Guard

"Commander Qi, come and see," Zhang Zhankui said behind him

Qidong walked over suspiciously, came to the side of the carriage and took a look, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and said tremblingly: "This ...... This...... Be...... Be...... Big ......"

"That's right, it's Big Brother," Zhang Zhankui said affirmatively

"What's going on? Hongxing, where do you want to take Big Brother? You don't want to live anymore? Qidong yelled at the woman in the carriage

"I ...... I ......" The woman named Hongxing was speechless for a long time

"The emperor went to the queen today, and didn't see that the eldest brother couldn't even find the nurse and the eunuch, and he didn't care about it, but later found the body of a big elder brother with a eunuch in the back garden and knew that something was wrong, and immediately asked me to close the palace gate, but your subordinates resisted the order, and actually shot at us, trying to cover Hongxing's kidnapping of the eldest brother from the opening of the commander, I think you can't get out of this matter" Zhang Zhankui said slowly

"No, no, no, don't talk nonsense, I came when I heard the gunshots, I happened to be checking the post at noon," Qidong hurriedly cleared

"Hmph, go and explain to the emperor yourself, take this woman away, and protect the eldest brother" Zhang Zhankui ignored Qidong and said to the Imperial Forest Army behind him

"Chirp"

One person took the baby away from the woman named Hongxing, and the other two people pressed the frightened Hongxing out of control down the carriage and left Xihuamen in an instant, leaving only the frightened Qidong and a group of unknown Janissaries......
