Chapter Seventy-Three: The Lost Dog

In the early morning of August 15, Cixi received news that foreign soldiers were attacking the southern wall of the inner city, and that the gate on the east side of the inner city had also been lost.

Due to the inaccurate surname of the news, Cixi didn't know that it was the Longwu army that broke through the Dongzhi Gate and Chaoyang Gate of the inner city, not the foreign soldiers, she only knew that since the inner city wall in the east had been lost, it would be a matter of time before the southern city wall was lost, and once the inner city was lost, then the target of the foreign soldiers would be the imperial city!

Cixi immediately decided to leave the palace immediately, because once the foreign soldiers attacked the imperial city, it would be too late to run, after a period of hasty arrangements, Cixi pulled the Guangxu Emperor, Empress Longyu and other cadres, changed the equipment of ordinary people, got into the mule cart, accompanied by eunuchs and palace maids, with hundreds of palace guards as the protection team, quietly out of the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City, and quickly fled to the Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City!

This is the second time that Cixi has fled the Forbidden City in such a mess, forty years ago, when the British and French troops entered Yanjing, she accompanied her husband Emperor Xianfeng once, but last time she fled north to Rehe, this time she didn't know where to go.

Soon, Cixi hurriedly escaped from Xi'an Gate with a team of more than 1,000 people, and now Cixi received news that the Dongzhi Gate and Chaoyang Gate in the east of the inner city, the Anding Gate in the northeast, the Fucheng Gate and Xizhi Gate in the west have all been captured, and only the Desheng Gate in the northwest has not moved.

Without any hesitation, Cixi, who went out of Xi'an Gate, immediately fled to Deshengmen with more than 1,000 palace female eunuchs, she wanted to run out of Yanjing, run far away, away from the artillery fire of foreign soldiers, so that she could sleep peacefully and sit back and relax.

No one knew that there was the mother of the Great Qing Dynasty in this line, nor did they know that there was Guangxu, the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, in this line.

Finally, the Empress Dowager Cixi escaped to Deshengmen as she wished.

However, she is destined to be unable to escape from Yanjing City, and her dream is destined to be unfulfilled.

After entering the Deshengmen Urn City, the team of more than 1,000 people led by Cixi was blocked in the Urn City before and after, the gate of the Urn City was closed, but the door of the Desheng Gate was not opened, and they were greeted by the black muzzles of the Tiger Ben Army Guard Regiment on the wall of the Urn City.

The palace guards who put Cixi, Guangxu, the empress, the palace maid, and the imperial guardian in the middle tried to raise their guns to shoot back, but before they could shoot, they were violently strafed by the condescending tiger warriors, and a large number of casualties were killed.

"Ahh "Ahh "Ahh "Ahh ……

The palace guards didn't make many screams, but the palace maids and eunuchs held their heads and let out screams one after another.

Wang Jundao was condescending, looking at the mule carts hiding in the middle of the team, as well as the two guards guarding the mule cart in the center, and said to Han Muxia and Lei Ba with a smile: "Did you see the two people next to the mule cart in the middle?" ”

"Well, I see." Han Muxia and Lei Ba both nodded.

Wang Jundao said with a smile: "The one around thirty years old is called Gong Baotian, and the fifty or sixty-year-old one is called Yin Fu, both of them are Dong Haichuan's apprentices, and they have won the true legend of Baguazhang, a rare master of Baguazhang, Gong Baotian is also proficient in Xingyi Boxing, they are all masters, absolute masters." ”

Lei Ba glanced at the two of them from a distance, stole a sentence that Wang Jundao had said, and said disdainfully: "The masters are all used to step on it." ”

"Haha, yes, you and Mu Xia will definitely benefit a lot from fighting them in a while." Wang Jundao laughed.

After a pause, Wang Jundao said loudly to the palace maids and eunuchs in the urn city: "Cixi Lafayette, the little emperor of Guangxu, how does the lost dog feel?" Does it taste good inside the mule cart? Isn't it more comfortable than the throne in the palace? ”

Cixi and Guangxu were sitting in the carriage and heard such a voice, they were so angry that they were all over, when did the dignified supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty receive such treatment? But what can they do? Now they are fish and meat, and Wang Jundao is a sword.

Gong Baotian, as the head of the inner house, couldn't stand Wang Jundao's words, looked up at Wang Jundao, and said sharply: "Since you know that it is the queen mother and the emperor, why do you want to do such a rebellious thing?" ”

"I am originally a Boxer, and what I am doing is a major event of opposing the Qing Dynasty and destroying the foreigners, so how can I say that it is a great rebellion?" Wang Jundao smiled coldly and said, "The 'divine soldier' obeys the order, shoot all the people with weapons for me, whether he is holding a gun or a sword, whether he is a man or a woman, or whether he is a man or a woman, as long as he has a weapon on him, shoot him until he dies!" ”

Without saying a word, the ten divine soldiers each pulled out two twenty-shot Mauser pistols and fired at the surviving palace guards with weapons, and the eunuchs with swords did not let go.

Bang bang bang......

The marksmanship of the divine soldier is naturally as good as Xiao Li's flying knife, and every bullet can take away the life of a person holding a weapon, and countless palace maids and eunuchs have been paralyzed to the ground and trembling with fright.

In less than five minutes, all the people with weapons in the urn city were shot to the ground because they couldn't find cover, and those who were cunning quickly threw out their guns and swords to survive.

Ten minutes later, there were only more than 500 palace maids and eunuchs and dozens of unarmed palace guards left in the urn city, of course, there were a few mule carts, which were naturally Cixi, Guangxu, and the concubines of Empress Guangxu, Guangxu had reigned for more than 20 years, had no children and no daughters, and it was estimated that he was infertile or infertile.

Subsequently, Wang Jundao took Lei Ba and Han Muxia and more than a dozen 'divine soldiers' to the urn city, all the palace maids and eunuchs were controlled by the tiger warriors, and in the end, only the three mule carts in the middle stood alone in the center of the urn city, while Yin Fu and Gong Baotian looked nervous next to the carriage where Cixi and Guangxu were.

Wang Jundao was more than ten meters away, looking coldly at the carriage in the middle, he suddenly felt very bored, he said lightly: "Cixi, you betrayed the country to seek power, you don't care about the life or death of the people in the world, regardless of the people's livelihood and suffering, you only care about your own power status, you have signed treaties with the great powers, causing my Chinese people to have no life, and your lives are miserable, you deserve death!"

Guangxu, you are cowardly and incompetent, let an old woman ride on your head as a prestige, not only disgrace the man's face, but also make the whole world suffer, you deserve to die. ”

Cixi and Guangxu were so frightened in the mule cart that their bodies trembled completely, Yin Fu and Gong Baotian didn't know what to do, they wanted to rush forward and kill Wang Jundao, but they knew that the two people behind Wang Jundao were definitely masters of the same level as themselves, and behind Wang Jundao, there were ten masters with marksmanship like gods, and around, there were more than a thousand Tiger Ben soldiers with guns.

Wang Jundao glanced at Yin Fu and Gong Baotian, then looked at the mule cart in the middle, and then said coldly: "However, you can't die now, you are still useful, so I won't kill you for the time being, let you live for a while longer." ”

Wang Jundao knows very well that the current Cixi and Guangxu can't die yet, so if he dies, he will become the target of the public, and those governors and governors who have soldiers in their hands will not be able to control it, and they will find all kinds of excuses to attack him and crusade against him.

However, Wang Jundao also doesn't like the so-called coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he just needs to ask Cixi to help him write some edicts, and then use means to master the Wuwei Army and the Boxers in Yanjing City, at the same time, he also needs to use the identity of Cixi and Guangxu to enter the imperial city without a single soldier and control the Forbidden City.

After a pause, Wang Jundao said lightly to Lei Ba and Han Muxia: "The two of them are yours, you give me to solve the battle quickly, I don't have so much time to delay." ”

"Howler!"

Lei Ba and Han Muxia were overjoyed, and each waved their swords and rushed towards Gong Baotian and Yin Fu, and the battle of the two peerless masters broke out in the urn city immediately.

Wang Jundao didn't think so much about it, he directly let the Tiger Ben warriors control Cixi and Guangxu's mule carts, and then quickly returned to the imperial city by the same route.

Wang Jundao doesn't have so much time to delay here now, the southern wall of the inner city is still precarious, and it may be broken by the coalition forces at any time, if he is any later, maybe he will not be able to transport away all kinds of treasures in the imperial city and the inner city.

At this moment, the idea in Wang Jundao's heart was still to transport away the wealth controlled by the Qing royal family in Yanjing City.
