002 Fright Night I
In the middle of the night, the streets of Petrograd were chaotic, and the cadets, gendarmes and Cossacks hurried up and down the streets, checking for all suspicious people and vehicles. Under these circumstances, Lenin was alone, with only two special guards and a transport liaison officer, Lahya, and it was not easy to reach the Smolny Palace safely.
At that time, Lenin changed into an old coat, wrapped his mouth and nose in a towel, put on an old dirty beanie, disguised himself as an ordinary worker, and secretly marched to the Smolny Palace.
Seriously, it's pretty child's play, and it's pretty dangerous. I don't know if Lenin had a big heart, or if the Bolshevik bigwigs were all two-poles. He would have allowed the Great Mentor of the Revolution, who is also the most crucial leader of this revolution, to risk his life and cross the blockade to play in a heartbeat.
If Lenin had made a mistake on the road, I am afraid that the future of the October Revolution would have to be said separately. In the memoirs of Lahya, the transport liaison who later accompanied Lenin through this heartbeat journey, we can see how thrilling that night was.
"At ten o'clock in the evening, I received a notice to go with Comrade Sverdlov to Comrade Lenin's hideout in Petrograd, where the enemy had been trying to find him after the events of July. So his residence in Petrograd was kept strictly secret. In the party, only Comrade Krupskaya and Maria, the sister of Comrade Lenin, were able to visit him. Today, when I walked into Comrade Vorpanova's house, I learned for the first time that Comrade Lenin was hiding in a small attic just a few hundred meters away from my house, and to be honest, I was stunned! ”
"The road from the Vyborg district to the Smolny Palace is not easy, there are non-commissioned officers and Cossacks everywhere, as well as those damned gendarmes and spies. These dogs are constantly causing us problems, and once Comrade Lenin almost fell into their hands! ”
Decades later, Lahya recalls that moment with a thrilling feeling: "It was on Shpalier Street, and I was walking behind Comrade Lenin, not far in front of whom were the guards assigned to Comrade Lenin by the Special Korko. They are responsible for playing the front station. Truth be told, the work of the front station is dangerous, and they have to find a safe path, but on this chaotic and dangerous night, it is too difficult to find this pathway! ”
"And they also have to be careful not to expose themselves, unlike us, they have SCR300 radio stations on them that are used to communicate with the central government. If the cadets or gendarmes find out, they will not hesitate to throw them into prison. On this night, countless innocent people had already been arrested, and the reason was nothing more than that they had weapons or Bolshevik leaflets in their hands. ”
"Behind us, there were two other comrades from Tekko, who were supposed to be Comrade Sverdlov's guards. But Comrade Sverdlov forced them to come and protect Comrade Lenin. Although Comrade Lenin repeatedly told them to go back, they resolutely refused this order. But what happened later proved how correct Comrade Sverdlov's arrangement was! ”
"Back to the point, Comrade Lenin and I had just walked to Shpalier Street, and Comrade Tekko, who had stood in the front, passed safely through the scrutiny of the non-commissioned officers and students, and they swaggered over. To be honest, at that moment, I breathed a sigh of relief. Thought that Tecko's comrades would be able to pass. I, like Comrade Lenin, were able to pass unscathed! ”
"As it turned out, I was too optimistic. Two cadets on tall horses rushed straight at me and Comrade Lenin, and they seemed to have noticed something, and as he got closer to us, I could clearly see the shiny saber at his waist and the jet-black pistol......"
The cadet on horseback blocked the path of Lahya and Lenin, and with the arrogance of an officer, he ordered unquestioning: "Your documents! ”
At that moment Lahya's heart was about to jump out, and he knew that he had to do something, and if they found Comrade Lenin, everything would be over!
Showing courage and resourcefulness that he had never seen before, he staggered up to meet him, stopped in front of the two cadets, muttering something in his mouth, and dancing and gesturing as he spoke.
"What are you talking about?"
The cadet on horseback was confused by Lahya's peculiar demeanor, and he impatiently urged: "Your documents, take out your documents!" ”
Another non-commissioned officer also kept pushing Lahaya, and scolded angrily: "Damn drunkard, let's be clear, what are you talking about?" ”
Thank God, the few sips of wine Lahya poured before going out finally worked, and the smell of alcohol on his body made the two non-commissioned officers mistakenly think that they had met an alcoholic. Of course, it is not surprising that there is such a misunderstanding, because in winter Russia is the most abundant drunkard, and every day because of high drinking, several of them freeze to death on the road.
While Lahya attracted the attention of the two non-commissioned officers, the political wisdom of the mentor worked, and he continued without hesitation, pretending to be indifferent, as if he didn't know Lahya at all.
I don't know if it was Lahya's performance that played a role, or if the instructor's composure dispelled the suspicions of the non-commissioned officers, and these two lucky men who had the potential to change Russian history just threw away the opportunity. Until Lenin and Lahya disappeared on Shpalier Street, they did not come forward to interrogate them again.
There was a thrilling escape, whether it was Lahaya or the mentor, they were all in a cold sweat, especially the four special guards, they were so nervous that they almost couldn't help but pull out their guns.
"Comrade Lenin, it's too dangerous!" One of the guards persuaded, "Shall we call for support and then move on?" ”
"Can't wait!" Lenin was very sober-minded at this time, and now the streets were full of cadets and gendarmes, and stopping and waiting would undoubtedly attract their attention, and no "normal person" would stay in the cold and windy streets in the middle of the night and "go on!" It's only safe to keep going! ”
In a sense, Lenin's words were right, but he did not know that he had been targeted by a demon, and even if he could reach the Smolny Palace, it would only guarantee that he would not be persecuted by the Provisional Government. The more powerful Shu Lijin doesn't mind going on a killing spree in the Smolny Palace, and without Li Xiaofeng, there are almost no people who can stop him in Petrograd.
But now Shulikin has also encountered a little trouble, that is, he has not found Lenin for the time being. When he broke into Vorpanova's house, Lenin had already left, and Sverdlov had already hurried away.
Shulikin, who pounced on the air, suddenly became numb, and he could not figure out whether Lenin had already moved or was leaving temporarily. He was left with two options: either stay on the sidelines or go out and look for a needle in a haystack. But either way, there wasn't much time left for him. If Lenin had not been found before Li Xiaofeng returned to Petrograd. His plan was a failure.
"You guys are waiting here. If Lenin returns, don't hesitate to shoot him at once! ”
Dropping this sentence, Shu Lijin left in a hurry, he would not wait for the rabbit, and it was quite unreliable to put his eggs in one basket. He had to prepare for the worst!
"If I were Lenin, after knowing what happened to the printing house. What would I do! Shuligin made a general guess from Lenin's standpoint: "I may think that this is a long-planned conspiracy, and I may think that Kerensky is preparing to jump over the wall, so at such a time I must not sit idly by, I must take the initiative!" ”
I have to say that Shu Lijin is still quite powerful. He basically guessed Lenin's mind - Lenin was definitely in line with the Bolshevik Central Committee, and perhaps he was ready for an armed rebellion!
Guessing Lenin's thoughts, Shulijin can basically grasp Lenin's whereabouts, who doesn't know that the Smolny Palace is the nest of the Bolsheviks, and there is a great possibility that Lenin is going to the Smolny Palace!
"A few of you, go to the Smolny Palace at once, and keep a close eye on whether anyone resembling Lenin appears. After discovering him. Send me a signal right away. If the defenses around him are weak, you can do it directly! ”
Maybe you're weird. Shu Lijin didn't go to Smolny Palace to wait for the rabbit in person, it should be said that his guess was eight or nine, but Shu Lijin was a very suspicious person, and in the face of the most difficult opportunity, he would definitely not bet easily.
Therefore, he had to guard against the possibility that Lenin did not go to the Smolny Palace, and who can guarantee that the Bolsheviks would not change the meeting place on the fly?
After the allocation of men, Shulykin began to pick up the gaps, and he began to carefully inspect every nook and cranny of the Vyborg district, and he had to prevent Lenin from simply changing his residence.
As the old saying goes, a blind cat can also meet a dead mouse, and originally Shulijin would never have been able to meet Lenin. But the ambitious Alekseevich did him a great favor, and the chief of the General Staff not only ordered the capture of the post and telecommunications office and the telephone office, but also ordered his non-commissioned officers and Cossacks to take control of the main bridges in Petrograd.
After receiving his order, the Cossacks and non-commissioned officers immediately attacked, easily took control of the main bridges in Petrograd, turned up all the bridges that could be rotated, and erected a blockade on the bridges that could not be rotated. Invisibly, this caused great trouble for Lenin.
"The front is blocked by the cadets, Comrade Lenin!"
Looking at the bridge deck that was spun up, Lenin shook his head helplessly, if he wanted to break through, it was impossible, and it was impossible to swim across the river in winter, so it seemed that he could only take a detour.
"It's impossible to take a detour!" Another special guard said worriedly, "I went to investigate, and the enemy has basically blocked the bridge and the main traffic artery, and we are trapped in the Vyborg district!" ”
This news was by no means something Lenin wanted to hear, and if he did not arrive at the Smolny Palace on time, then who would preside over the overall situation? If Trotsky had been allowed to take the lead, with his hesitant nature, he might have led the revolution to a dead end.
Just when Lenin was in a hurry and couldn't do anything, Lahaya suddenly said: "Comrade Lenin, I have a friend who is a boatman, and he has a pleasure boat......"
Lenin's eyes lit up, and if there were boats, crossing the river would not be a problem. Immediately he said happily: "Great, Comrade Lahya, you have made meritorious contributions to the revolution!" ”
Lenin did not know that the direction he was going in was the direction in which Shulijin was focusing his search, and if nothing else, the stupid mentor would throw himself into the net.
It was not only Shu Lijin who was closely following Lenin's movements, but also Li Xiaofeng's good apprentice Morrigan, who was also nervously following Lenin's actions. When Li Xiaofeng left Petrograd, Morrigan received an order to send Angelina home and immediately go to protect the mentor.
It's not that Li Xiaofeng guessed Shu Lijin's calculations, but for insurance. Li Xiaofeng is not at ease to let the tutor stay alone in the Vyborg District, who knows if there will be any accidents in the road. In order to kill the accident factor once and for all, he left Morrigan to protect the Mentor.
Li Xiaofeng's decision is too crucial, on this night, if there is no Morrigan, the tragic mentor will definitely not be able to escape the clutches of Shu Lijin. When they happily set off for a cruise ship on the Neva River. Didn't even notice that the ecstatic Shu Lijin was sharpening his knife.
Shu Lijin's appearance startled Morrigan into a cold sweat. She never expected to meet this demon at this moment, although this person was cleaned up by Li Xiaofeng very badly last time, but Morrigan knew that there was still a big gap between his strength and him!
As soon as possible, Morrigan sent a distress signal to Li Xiaofeng, but what made her more puzzled was that the distress signal sent out seemed to sink into the sea. There was no response at all.
"Little girl! I advise you not to do useless work! Shu Li Jinyin laughed, "At this moment, Andre. Petrovich is probably already taking care of himself and wants him to save you? It's a dream! ”
Morrigan ignored Shulijin, still unrelentingly sending a distress signal. Seeing this, Shu Lijin sneered: "I've already said it." That's useless! You don't have to work in vain! Hurry up and get out of the way, Uncle Ben is in a good mood today, and I'll take your life! ”
After saying that, Shulijin raised his leg and chased in the direction of Lenin, but as soon as he took a step, Morrigan's spell blasted at him.
Rumble!
The dirt flew in front of Shu Lijin, and a fist-deep pit was blown out of the concrete road, and the scattered gravel and dust hit him all over his face.
"You're looking for death!"
Shu Lijin was furious. He didn't want to fight Morrigan at all. Not only because it might have allowed Lenin to run away, but more importantly. He knew that the woman in front of him seemed to have a close relationship with the evil star, and whether he killed or injured her, the consequences were very serious.
He naively thought that the contradiction between him and Li Xiaofeng was just a battle of lines, and if Lenin was killed, the other party could only swallow the bitter fruit and would not retaliate against him as a victor. But if "business" becomes a "personal grudge", then even if he becomes a hero of Russia, he will definitely become a hero of the dead.
Shu Lijin hasn't forgotten that the last time was because of Anna's, he was almost cut into eight pieces by someone. And today, this girl is much stronger than Anna in every aspect, and if there is really a good one, the consequences are not ordinarily serious!
Shu Lijin waved his hand and returned the move, and a huge fireball roared towards Morregan, just looking at the appearance, the lethality should not be underestimated.
Morrigan didn't dare to be careless, and dodged it, and a large fireball roared and hit a small car on the side of the road, which immediately ignited a raging fire, directly burning the car to scrap metal.
Morrigan glanced at the red-burning car with palpitations, if she had really been hit by the fireball just now, the end would definitely not be much better than that car, maybe it would have turned into a pile of flying ashes.
"This is just a warning!"
Shu Lijin said as he tried to break through the level for the second time, in his opinion, with the warning just now, Morrigan should only advance and retreat, and would not stop the car with his mantis arm.
However, he underestimated Morrigan's determination too much, in the eyes of this girl, the master's order was very important, and since someone asked her to protect Lenin's safety, she would never let Lenin break a cold hair.
Morrigan took a deep breath and took out the gossip mirror without hesitation, with her strength, she was indeed not Shu Lijin's opponent, but coupled with the magic weapon in her hand, she was not without the power to fight. At least for a while, it is possible to let Lenin run a little farther.
The moment Morrigan took out the gossip mirror, Shu Lijin quickly stopped, he recognized the guy in Morrigan's hand, although the other party's strength was very average in his eyes, but this treasure was very unusual, and he had to pay attention to it.
"Let's take it!"
The gossip mirror in Morrigan's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, which was so dazzling that it was almost like a small sun. The dazzling golden light came and went quickly, but in this moment, there was only a white expanse left in front of Shu Lijin's eyes.
"Damn it!" Shu Lijin cursed secretly, when the golden light rose, he should have reacted, but he didn't react, and he was stunned to let a little girl blind the eyes of the kryptonite dog.
But the worst thing is not that he doesn't have his vision, Shu Lijin knew that this kind of eye-catching little spell could not bring permanent damage to his vision, at most, it would temporarily blind him. As long as it lasts for a while, it will recover.
What really bothered him was that after losing his vision, Morrigan suddenly launched wave after wave of offensives, and for a while, he was in a hurry and tired of coping.
"Stinky girl, I'll tell you, that's enough!" Shu Lijin yelled angrily, "Don't be embarrassed, if you don't forgive, I'll kill you now!" ”
Morrigan's only reply to his threat was to attack more violently, wave after wave of spells were thrown at Shulijin as if they didn't want money, and with a rumbling sound, in the smoke, Shulijin looked very embarrassed.
Shu Lijin was really annoyed, as I said just now, he had never been ruthless, what he was afraid of was to anger Li Xiaofeng and attract cruel revenge. And now, Morrigan's stubborn resistance has finally angered him, and he will never keep his hand again!
"Stinky girl, you give me death!"
With a roar, dozens of fireballs rained down on Morrigan.
Worst!
Morrigan's heart suddenly jumped, the power of a fireball was terrifying, not to mention dozens of them, she didn't dare to be careless, she just held the gossip mirror, and immediately, a golden film of light appeared in front of her.
Thundered...... Thundered......
The violent explosion shook Morrigan behind the light film almost vomited blood, and finally withstood this wave of attacks, she had just breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Shu Lijin had already gone in the direction of Lenin without hesitation! (To be continued.) )
PS: Bow and thank Comrade Drunk Wufeng for his monthly ticket support!
