Harbin, known as the Paris of the East.

The city arose because of the Eastern Railway, and one morning in the spring of 1920, two shadows walked on the railway line, one was a twenty-year-old young man and the other was a strangely shaped big dog.

The young man had a ring-headed sword handle on his back, a cross bow tied around his waist, and a large dog with a red mane. One man and one beast, walking along the feces and urine left by the train, until the Harbin Railway Station.

An express train was parked on the platform, and a military band played the national anthem of the Republic of China. Chinese and Belarusian expatriates hugged each other, and a tall Belarusian military officer led a young Belarusian woman to present flowers to a big man who was about to get on the bus.

Qin Beiyang was quite surprised, this "big man" was just a teenager, about the same age as himself, small man, fair-skinned, I don't know where it came from?

Gunshots rang out from the crowd......

The boy fell to the ground, and the guard was headshot. There was a lot of chaos on the platform. The White Russian military officers took out the robbery to protect the "big guys". The face of the white Russian young woman who offered flowers was stained with the blood of the guards, and she screamed and hit Qin Beiyang's chest.

He pressed the White Russian woman to the ground, and beside her blonde hair, he yelled in Russian: "Don't move while lying on your stomach!" ”

A number of Assassins shot at the "big guys" in all directions, and the guards were shot one after another, and several of them loyally blocked the holes of the guns. The guards lined up to shoot, killing five or six Assassins on the spot. The young man also crawled to Qin Beiyang's side, and if he was crushed to the ground, he would have been shot to death by the assassins.

In broad daylight, the Nine Colors cannot transform, but it will block bullets for its master, and the assassin pulls out his knife and comes up desperately.

Qin Beiyang pressed the "big man" and raised his crossbow and shot a steel arrow, which hit the opponent's shoulder right in the shoulder, and the soldiers captured the assassin firmly. On the platform, which was covered with corpses and blood, the screams of the arrested assassins rang out, mentioning the name of so-and-so.

The young man got up in a panic, luckily picked up his life, put his arm on Qin Beiyang's shoulder, and said, "Twenty years ago, Ito Hirobumi was assassinated by the North Korean assassin Ahn Chong-geun at this railway station. ”

"Hirobumi Ito, who forced Li Hongzhang to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki?" Qin Beiyang gasped twice, "It seems that assassins may not all be evildoers. ”

"Thank you brother for saving your life! Everyone calls me Little Liuzi. ”

"My name is Qin Beiyang."

"Okay, but I'm in a hurry to get on the train, and the boss told me to rush back to Mukden for a meeting today."

This young man named "Little Liuzi" took care of the adjutant and wanted to give Qin Beiyang a lot of rewards, even an official and a half-post, and then hurriedly boarded the train, and the steam engine roared away.

Harbin Railway Station.

Qin Beiyang didn't want to wade into this troubled water, so he was just about to leave but was stopped by someone and forcibly sent him a few hundred silver dollars. It just so happened that he was penniless, so he had to laugh at it.

"Thank you, young man." A Russian sentence sounded behind him, it was the White Russian military officer who had just sent off the "Little Sixth Son", and he walked up to him with the beautiful young woman in his arms, "You have protected both this noble lady and the young master of the three eastern provinces, if the bullet deviates a little more, you will die." ”

"Cutting a loaf of bread always costs a little bit of crumbs, and there is always a price to pay for doing something!"

Qin Beiyang casually said a Russian proverb, and for most of the year he lived and fought in Siberia, he also became half Russian.

"Harashuo, it is rare to meet Chinese who are so fluent in Russian, I am Colonel Pyotr Ivanov."

The beautiful blonde woman leaned over and said, "Thank you, sir, for saving your life, I am Wolfna." ”

One surname Ivanov and the other surname Wolfna are obviously not husband and wife, otherwise she should be called Ivanovna or Ivanova.

Russian beauties are not as shy as Chinese women, and look generously into men's eyes. She was about thirty years old, with slight fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but they were negligible among Russian women. It is rare to maintain a good figure, wear a decent coat, curly blonde hair hanging down the back of the head, and a little powder, like a magnet, making it difficult to divert people's eyes.

Suddenly, Qin Beiyang remembered her last name - Wolfna.

He then remembered a man: "Is your husband Baron Franz von Wolff?" ”

Hearing this German-style name, Wolfna's expression changed drastically, and Colonel Ivanov also frowned.

"Do you know my husband?"

He ...... Passed away. ”

"Oh God!"

Vovna knew that she was a widow, and she almost fell down, and Ivanov hugged her by the waist, a detail that showed that they were quite close.

Now, Qin Beiyang has to admit: "In May last year, Baron Wolf was martyred in Paris, and he was loyal to the Russian Provisional Government until his death. By the way, Wolf was a good friend of my father. ”

"You are Mr. Qin's son?" Colonel Ivanov put his arm around his shoulders, "I had a relationship with your father in the Provisional Government of White Russia in Omsk. ”

"My father also died in Paris."

The colonel drew a cross on his chest: "May God bless him!" Qin is the best Chinese I have ever met, and now the best is you! ”

Qin Beiyang was a little embarrassed, thinking that his father was an honest craftsman, and he had such a wide circle of friends before he died, and left a posthumous son in Siberia, and his life was not in vain.

Ivanov was very enthusiastic and took him out of the railway station, in a car, to the Central Street.

Thirty years ago, Harbin was still a small tunzi by the Songhua River. In 1896, the Trans-Siberian Railway came to the east, and Harbin became a transportation hub, building European buildings, roads, and bridges on this wilderness......

The central street was full of White Russians, mink fur coats, or destitute. Ivanov opened a luxurious room at the Modern Hotel, gave Qin Beiyang a brand new suit, and invited him to dinner in the hotel's Russian restaurant.

Foie gras, black caviar, pickled sturgeon fillet, beetroot soup, roast leg of lamb, Russian cold sour fish......

Qin Beiyang stayed in Russia for so long, but he was in the countryside for labor reform, either marching and fighting, eating potato bread, purely filling his stomach, and rarely eating Russian food. Fortunately, after hiding in the tomb for a day, not only did the cancer cells be suppressed, but also the appetite was restored. Jiuse crouched at the dining table, and the colonel was about to hand it a steak, but was stopped by Qin Beiyang.

"Where did you learn Russian?"

"Well, in Paris, I studied with Wolfe. After my father's death, I returned to China, but I wanted to support the cause of Belarus, so I went to Vladivostok in the Far East, what you call Vladivostok. I lived there for half a year. ”

Qin Beiyang made up a lot of lies, and he must not let the White Russians on the other side know that he was a Chinese soldier of the Soviet Red Army and a member of the Communist Youth League......

"Very good, Qin, and Katya and I ......" Colonel Ivanov said that her maiden name should be Katerina, and Katya is her nickname, "We have just been in Harbin for a month, and we are not familiar with the place, and we can only say 'hello', 'thank you', and 'bastard' in Chinese!" Hahaha......"

The White Russian colonel and the baroness were apparently a pair of open lovers. When Qin Beiyang brought the news of Wolf's death, the two of them would be able to be together justifiably, so it was no wonder that they invited him to this big meal.

Ivanov poured another glass of vodka, and Wolfna snatched his glass: "Drink less!" I have to mourn for my husband. ”

But the colonel was still sober: "Qin, there is a treasure hidden in the ancient Chinese tomb, called the Tomb Beast. While I was in Omsk, your father and Wolf were transforming the Tomb Beast and taking it to battle. The Admiral valued this weapon so much that he even ordered me to steal Rasputin's coffin in order to create the most evil grave beast in history and resurrect Rasputin's soul. ”

"Fortunately, it failed, otherwise it would be an absolute disaster for mankind to release such a tomb beast."

Qin Beiyang was shocked, and he didn't dare to tell about the adventure of eliminating Rasputin's evil spirit in the Ural Mountains.

"If Kolchak had ten tomb beasts, he would never have suffered today's fiasco, let alone die in Irkutsk. What if you have a hundred Grave Beasts? I promise that within three months, the national emblem of the double-headed eagle will be raised again in the Winter Palace. ”

"Colonel, what do you want?"

"Now that I have gone into exile in China, I have to do what is good for my country and for God. China is an ancient country, there are countless tombs buried underground, just take out the tomb beasts inside, even if it is only a small part, transform them like your father, form a tomb beast army, and then fight back to Russia! Ivanov raised his glass, "The thought makes the blood boil, Ula!" ”

Qin Beiyang furrowed his eyebrows, looked at the colonel and the widow, and whispered, "I admire your loyalty to the motherland, but this is an impossible task. ”

"Listen, Qin, since I fled from Siberia to Harbin, I have begun to prepare for this expedition. I organized an expedition, more than 100 battle-hardened veterans of the White Russians, sufficient weapons, ammunition, food and supplies, the most detailed military map. Now there is only one character missing - that is you, Lao Qin's son. ”

"China is huge, where do you plan to go first?"

Ivanov brushed the beard from his lips and spat out a place name: "Mongolia." ”

"What are you doing in Mongolia?"

"It's chaotic there, and no one is going to take care of us. Mongolia is close to Siberia, and there are many White Russians to support us. Once you find the Tomb Beast, you can transform it on the spot and immediately set off to counterattack Russia. ”

"Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed."

The colonel poured himself another glass of vodka: "It's okay, dear Qin, you have plenty of time to think about it tonight, tomorrow morning, I'll wait for your reply." ”

Qin Beiyang was noncommittal, and Ivanov put his arm around Wolfna again, and drunkenly complained: "Our admiral Kolchak, he is a brave warrior, but by no means a good leader. Qin, you don't know how much we suffered when we escaped from Siberia. Millions of fugitives will be hell in the coldest winters...... On the ice of Lake Baikal, thousands of people froze to death overnight! If it weren't for a bottle of vodka, I would have been an ice sculpture a long time ago. ”

Wolfna's eyes moistened slightly: "Don't say these sad things anymore. ”

"For this war, every Russian, from the tsar to the peasants, paid a heavy price......"

In a few moments, Colonel Ivanov had drunk himself and was lying unconscious at the table.
