Liu Yun was thinking about how Ci Xi and her henchmen would end, when Guangxu suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "Liu Yun, I want to know why you and your subordinates dress so strangely and don't have braids?" ”

Liu Yun was taken aback and hurriedly knelt down: "Didn't the Queen Mother explain to the emperor just now?" ”

Guangxu was expressionless and said, "No." ”

Liu Yun felt the sudden change in the atmosphere, he glanced at it from the corner of his eye, the waist knives of the guards on the four sides were shaking, obviously the guards were preparing to draw their knives to attack, and secretly scolded the dead old woman in her heart for being cunning, and she must find a way to control her with medicine after she went back, and she had already promised: "Your Majesty, maybe the Queen Mother was nervous for a while and forgot——"

Guangxu let out an "oh", still looking unchanged.

"Actually, our group of Chinese from the United States of America has been accustomed to foreign clothes since childhood, and they have never kept braids. However, although we grew up in foreign countries, we cherish the homeland of our ancestors, admire the Celestial Empire, and are loyal to the emperor. Seeing the invasion of the foreign powers and the humiliation of the society, we were not at peace, so we abandoned our wives and children, and returned to the motherland with sophisticated equipment and books on foreign science and technology systems. I wanted to meet the emperor directly through the Prime Minister's Yamen, but I accidentally learned about the White Lotus Sect's incident, and the situation was urgent, so I sneaked into the palace to escort me before I could report it to the government——"

Liu Yun hadn't finished speaking, but Guangxu waved his hand to signal him to stop: "What Aiqing said, I know what I said, go to see the Queen Mother first, and I will listen to you later." ”

Liu Yun got up, thinking that although this little emperor was young, the city government was not shallow, so he had to be careful to deal with it.

Everyone approached the Queen Mother's dormitory all the way, and there were already a large group of soldiers in front of them cleaning up the corpses and cleaning up the bloodstains.

Guangxu saw the piles of corpses on the side of the road, showed a look of surprise, and asked Liu Yun: "Aiqing, how many people are there in your group?" ”

Liu Yundao: "Your Majesty, I waited for a group of 36 people, of which 11 were literati, only 25 soldiers, and a total of 15 people, including Lian Chen, who infiltrated the palace this time. ”

Guangxu asked the officers around him: "How many people have died here?" ”

"Your Majesty, roughly calculated, there are no less than a thousand people."

Guangxu thought about it, so he stopped talking and led everyone into the courtyard of the queen mother's bedroom.

Entering the inner court, Guangxu saw the strange instruments held by Zhong Xiahuo and others, and nodded as if touched.

After receiving the kneeling of Zhong Xiahuo and other soldiers, Guangxu said to the left and right: "You all retreat, I want to talk to the Queen Mother alone." ”

Liu Yun brought Guangxu to the door of Nala's bedroom, then respectfully retreated, and walked to the inner courtyard with Wen Yi to stay.

"The old woman is not honest." Liu Yun said softly to Wen Yi.

"It's okay, her little cleverness can't hide it from me, I just put down the walkie-talkie and I gave her medicine." Wen Yi smiled.

"So fast, will it work right away?"

"I used a spray to make her faint for two minutes, and I was given a fast-acting mental control agent, but this kind of thing is too harmful, so I will respond to an emergency first, and then switch to a chronic oral agent."

"That's good, her use value is not small, since she refuses to cooperate, she has to come hard."

"But the medicine we brought with us is only enough for her for two years, which means that after two years, she will not be able to continue to be our pawn honestly."

"When the time comes, we will know what to do, and things that have lost their value will naturally be thrown away as garbage."

"Especially toxic garbage." Wen Yi Dao.

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Guangxu opened the door and came out, summoning Liu Yun and saying: "Liu Aiqing will come with me, and the others will stay here for the time being. ”

Everyone knelt down to thank him, but Liu Yun said to Guangxu: "Your Majesty, the ministers have something to ask for." ”

Guangxu nodded: "Aiqing said." ”

Liu Yun pointed to Wen Yi: "The minister is only a martial artist, this person's surname is Wen Mingyi, proficient in Chinese and Western knowledge, especially the current situation, knowing the principles of heaven, advocating self-improvement in changing the law, surviving and developing in the surrounding powers, until he surpasses the powers, subdues the world, and reproduces the majesty of the great power of our Celestial Empire." Can the emperor summon Mr. Wen at the same time, the minister thinks that this person is more important to the emperor than the minister. ”

Guangxu said: "If that's the case, then I have to see Mr. Wen, okay, Mr. Wen will come together." ”

Wen Yi said "obey the order" and went with Guangxu and Liu Yun.

Zhong Xiahuo stared at their backs, took a sip, and said to himself: "People look like dogs, it's quite like being a slave, I don't want to work hard to be a dog, wait, one day, see what I-"

Ding Jieyun came up: "Captain Zhong, you're in a bad mood." ”

Zhong Xiahuo gave him a blank look: "A comrade-in-arms died, are you still proud?" ”

Ding Jieyun said: "Captain Zhong, you can't say that, life and death have their own destiny, people, they can't be resurrected after death, and the condolences are by the way." ”

"You shit!" Zhong Xiahuo threw the helmet away, and the anger rose again, "If it weren't for Liu Yun's dizzy brain and not bringing enough medical equipment, how could our military doctor die!" ”

Ding Jieyun said, "Captain Zhong, let's drink some water to calm down" and slipped away with interest, he is half a head less than Zhong Xiahuo, and Zhong Xiahuo is still the runner-up of two Sanda in the army, Ding Jieyun, who always follows the principle of rationality, knows how to go, and then continues to chat with Zhong Xiahuo, his handsome face will have a good chance to be miserable.

Zhu Tao, who was temporarily free from strategy, anger and reason, leaned against the pillars and looked in the direction of the Queen Mother's inner room, as if he wanted to pierce the thin paper window with his eyes and tear out the cute little palace maid inside.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Tao opened his hazy eyes and saw several eunuchs going out to the toilet, Ding Jieyun in the middle of the inner courtyard was facing a bunch of delicacies from the mountains and seas gnawing on field rations, and Zhong Xiahuo next to him let go of drinking and eating meat, dripping with joy, while half of the surrounding soldiers imitated Ding Jieyun, and the other half were similar to Zhong Xiahuo.

Zhong Xiahuo saw that he was awake and beckoned: "Zhu Tao, good wine and food, this royal thing is different, come, enjoy it together." ”

Ding Jieyun handed over a package of field rations: "Xiao Zhu, before Captain Liu gives the order, we should not eat anything here, we must always be vigilant." ”

Zhong Xiahuo snatched the bag of field rations, called the eunuchs who carried the toilet, lifted the toilet lid and threw the ration bag in.

"You-" Ding Jieyun stood up, his face flushed.

Zhong Xiahuo greeted him with his huge body: "What do you want?" ”

"Wait and see!" Ding Jieyun sat down angrily, and when he picked up the field rations again, he had no appetite at all, so he simply threw them aside.

"If you find your own guilt, you won't enjoy it," Zhong Xiahuo turned to Zhu Tao again, "Young man, come on, if it's poisonous, I'll finish it with you, it's enough to save face." ”

Zhu Tao replied casually "Oh", and her eyes were already fixed on Rong'er, who had just come out of the Queen Mother's room, and at this time Rong'er had already freshened up and changed into a plain palace maid's dress, which was much more energetic than last night, so she looked more fresh and lovely.

As soon as Rong'er touched his gaze, she hurriedly dodged away, so shy and cute that Zhu Tao couldn't help but step forward, stood at a distance of less than one meter from her, and said, "Morning." ”

Rong'er tugged at the corners of her clothes, overwhelmed by this sudden attack, and couldn't say a word.

Zhu Tao saw that she didn't escape, and continued: "My name is Zhu Tao, I know that your name is Rong'er, I didn't scare you last night, right?" ”

"No-" Rong'er bit her lip and squeezed out a word, her hand unconsciously touched her cheek, feeling slightly hot, knowing that the other party must see her pink peach blossom appearance, and hurriedly wiped Zhu Tao's side and ran away.

Zhu Tao smelled a burst of fragrant fragrance, he was already drunk, where did he still want to pour wine with Zhong Xiahuo, he only sat down and picked up some snacks to satisfy his hunger.

Everyone saw it clearly, and they all went up to coax him, Zhong Xiahuo said: "Not bad, boy, you have a future, you can soak wherever you go, this time it is the little palace maid next to the Queen Mother, next time you will change to a princess - no - call Gege to try?" ”

"Go, go, talk less, I'm afraid you won't look for a woman here? Whatever he calls the palace maid, if he likes it, he can soak it, just look at the drooling and use it as a fart. Zhu Tao is not an innocent virgin, so he is not afraid of everyone coaxing, choking them back with two sentences, and only cares about eating by himself.

"Everyone's worked hard." Liu Yun's voice came, and everyone quickly stood up and lined up in two teams, with Zhong Xiahuo and Ding Jieyun each at the head of a team.

Liu Yun and Wen Yi walked into the inner courtyard one after another, and Zhong Xiahuo, who scolded the two of them last night, obediently saluted and reported.

Liu Yun returned the salute and stood still and announced to everyone: "Our first task has been perfectly accomplished, for this reason, the military doctor Lieutenant Jiang Wanli sacrificed his precious life, here, I propose, to observe a three-minute silence for Lieutenant Jiang Wanli." ”

Liu Yun took off his helmet and held it with both hands, lowered his head, Zhong Xiahuo saw him like this, although the wine in his stomach was already a little strong, but he couldn't get angry anymore.

"Alright, everyone take a break!"

The crowd heard the order, the movements were uniform, and the foundation of the soldiers, discipline, was firmly anchored in them.

"Now announce the order, all the members of the first commando, as well as the members of the second commando team except for Captain Ding Jieyun and Second Lieutenant Wu Dingguo, plus Sergeant Liang Tianhe and Zhang Yiye in the support team, a total of 15 people form the Empress Dowager's Guard, which is named the Tiger Guard. Captain Zhong Xiahuo, deputy captain and military doctor Lieutenant Deng Jian, and communicator Second Lieutenant Zhu Tao. The escort team is divided into four shifts, each shift is on duty for 6 hours, and must protect the Queen Mother 24 hours a day, and no one can be put in or released without the emperor's order. Speaking of this, Liu Yun glanced at Zhong Xiahuo, Zhong Xiahuo's expression was resolute, and he was a soldier with a unique seriousness.

"In addition, the emperor is preparing to form a new type of Praetorian Guard company, and for this reason, it was decided that Captain Ding Jieyun and Second Lieutenant Wu Dingguo of the Second Commando and Sergeant Liu Bailiang and Former Sergeant Zhang Yao of the Support Team will form a teaching team, with Captain Ding Jieyun as the captain and Second Lieutenant Wu Dingguo as the deputy captain and communicator, who will be responsible for training the new-style Praetorian Guard Company and serving as the chief officer at the company and platoon level in the early stage. In addition, Lieutenant Hook and Private Wu Beinian of the commando joined the headquarters and formed the headquarters together with me, staff officer Lieutenant Yang Zhengjin, and communications officer Second Lieutenant Ma Chengwu, and I personally commanded the headquarters. Finally, I want to tell you that we are marching on a route with no way back, no matter how strong the wind is and how big the waves are, we can only keep moving forward, and backward can only hit the reef and die, and only forward can we have the opportunity to break out of the wind and waves, find a calm harbor, and land on a new land full of gold! ”

"Captain Liu, we're going with you!" Zhong Xiahuo hurriedly shouted, "We will do what you say, you just give orders, and we will guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Promise to complete the mission!" ”

After Zhong Xiahuo called out the words of loyalty to Liu Yun out of sincerity, he glanced at Wen Yi beside Liu Yun, he still couldn't tolerate this Wen Crepe History professor, and transferred all his dissatisfaction with reality to Wen Yi.

"It's all the shit professor who made the hell." For a long time, this sentence was Zhong Xiahuo's exclusive mantra.
