Chapter 138: Lu Haodong
Some time ago, Li Xiake killed hundreds of White Lotus Sect disciples in the theater garden of Foshan Port, and he had already formed a life-and-death enmity with the White Lotus Sect.
The people of the White Lotus Sect have wanted to take revenge on Li Xiake more than once, but Foshan is Huang Feihong's territory, and the local militia groups all listen to Huang Feihong's assignment, and Admiral Wu Zongjun and Huang Feihong are also very close.
So until now, the people of the White Lotus Sect have not carried out a single attack on Li Xiake, and in the heart of the White Lotus Sect Master, the reason why Li Xiake can still live until now is completely dependent on Huang Feihong's protection.
As for the amazing kung fu of Li Xiake depicted by the surviving sect members at that time, the White Lotus Sect Leader did not think so, how much ability did one person have to kill hundreds of of their sect members? Do you really think that this person is a world overlord? Even if he is really a world overlord, he will still have to be killed in the face of firearms.
Due to various subjective reasons, the White Lotus Sect Master of Chaotian Palace has never taken Li Xiake too seriously, and at this time, when he heard that he came to the provincial capital alone, he suddenly added new hatred and old hatred together, and he wanted to kill Li Xiake in the provincial capital no matter what.
After Li Xiake provoked and killed the Sun and Moon Hexagram of the White Lotus Sect, he rode his horse and walked slowly on the street, looking like Shi Shiran, and he couldn't tell that he had killed someone just now.
A burst of wine fragrance came, the wine flag in front of the slanted, a two-story restaurant appeared in Li Xiake's field of vision, leading Li Xiake to have a drunken seizure, couldn't help but speak with relish, turned over and dismounted, took the iron gun in his hand, and poked it to the ground, "poof" a soft sound, the entire iron gun has been inserted into the ground. With this shot, the blue brick ancient road on the ground did not even burst out of the debris, as if the ground was like soft mud.
It's just that this hand, if it is seen by Huang Feihong and other experts, it will definitely be admired, but the ordinary people at the scene, no one can see the power of this gun, some people looked at him curiously, and then walked away, no one took his hand seriously.
Li Xiake tied the horse to the iron gun, walked into the second floor under the guidance of the shopkeeper, sat down by the window, and asked for a few special side dishes, drinking by himself, and feeling quite happy.
While he was drinking happily, a man in a robe walked up to him and said with a smile, "Brother Ren, can I sit here?"
Li Xiake looked at this person when he heard this, and saw that this person had a clear face, a cyan robe was covered with a slender body, and the whole person was full of bookishness, but there was also an occasional heroic spirit between his eyebrows, which showed that this person was not a simple scholar.
Li Xiake nodded and said with a smile: "Brother, please!"
The body of the person on the other side who was swept by Li Xiake's cold and electric gaze trembled slightly, goosebumps rose, and he felt that Li Xiake's gaze was like substance, and it seemed that he had seen himself inside and out at a glance, and he had never experienced this feeling.
He was taken aback, and reluctantly smiled at Li Xiake, and then sat down: "Brother Ren just showed his might on the street and killed the Sun and Moon Hexagram Elder of the White Lotus Sect, and Brother happened to pass by and see it. ”
After this person sat down, his upper body leaned forward slightly, and he whispered to Li Xiake: "Now that the White Lotus Sect is making a lot of trouble in the provincial capital, and you are killing people in the street, I am afraid that neither the imperial court nor the White Lotus Sect will let you go." ”
He looked at Li Xiake and said softly, "It's already difficult for you to gain a foothold in this provincial capital, so it's better to leave early, otherwise you won't be able to leave if you want to!"
Li Xiake looked at this person and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Brother Tai is here to remind me?"
The young scholar said with a smile: "Actually, I heard that the food in this natural residence is delicious, so I came here to try it, and reminded Brother Ren that it was just by the way." ”
Li Xiake laughed: "You have been following me since I killed the Sun and Moon Hexagram Chief, if this is also by the way, then there is no deliberate such thing in the world!"
He beckoned to the shopkeeper next to him: "Little Er, add a pair of chopsticks to my table, and a pot of good wine!"
When the shopkeeper nodded and turned around, Li Xiake took a deep look at the man opposite: "You are a very good person!" Knowing that I am in danger here, I deliberately chased all the way to remind me of this stranger, just rush this point, I should treat you to a good drink." Brother, what do you call it?"
The scholar on the other side looked at Li Xiake in surprise: "There are so many people on the street, I didn't see you turn your head at all, how did you find out that I was following you behind?"
After he asked, he replied, "Junior brother Lu Haodong, I saw Brother Ren killing people on the street just now, he really has the style of ancient heroes, this is something I have never seen before." The White Lotus Sect is making a lot of trouble in the provincial capital, and I am a little worried about your safety, so I came here to remind you. If you are presumptuous, please forgive me. ”
Li Xiake's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Haodong, I have admired the name for a long time! You say that I am a heroic style, I don't dare to take this seriously, but for the safety of me, a stranger, you followed me all the way just to remind me, from this point of view, you are not much inferior to the ancient heroes." ”
He said to Lu Haodong: "Under Li Xiake!"
Li Xiake rarely used honorifics, and his attitude was also a lot more dignified.
This Lu Haodong was Sun Yat-sen's fellow classmate, who raised funds for the republican revolution more than once, and was later arrested and imprisoned because of the failure of the uprising, and still criticized the weakness and incompetence of the Qing government in prison, and later unfortunately died at the hands of the Qing government.
He was a good friend of Sun Yat-sen, and after his death, Sun Yat-sen said more than once that he was "the first person to sacrifice for the republic since the revolution", and it should be explained that the national flag of the Kuomintang in the future was designed by him.
No matter what kind of party this person is, his unswerving spirit of dying for the republican revolution is enough to make Li Xiake, a person from later generations, admire.
Not giving in under torture and not being moved by the threat of death, this kind of thing is only a story to tell, and if you really put yourself in their shoes, you will know how strong it takes to do it.
The key is that they are not for themselves, nor do they have any selfish intentions, they just want to overthrow the Manchus, establish a republic, and change the world in China, so as to become rich and strong and democratic.
It was the bloody sacrifices of these people with lofty ideals that allowed the seeds of the republic to take root in China and lay a solid foundation for China to stand up completely in the future.
The sacrifice of their progressives is completely different from the death of the White Lotus and the Boxers, whose rebellion stems from survival, and death is also due to ignorance and ignorance.
A rebellion without a program and no discipline like the Boxer can be called reckless and foolish, while a wealthy person like Lu Haodong is dedicated to the idea of saving the common people, they know what they are doing, and they know how big the risks are to face, but they still do it, this is the real hero, the real hero!
Li Xiake admires this kind of person the most.
