Chapter 147: Slipping Away Quietly
"It's no problem to escort you out. ”
Hearing Lu Haodong's request, Li Xiake looked out the window at a group of Qing soldiers who were surrounding the consulate, and said with a smile: "It's just a matter ......of killing a few more people!
He turned to look at Lu Haodong: "You guys are always hiding like this, can you do it?"
Lu Haodong was slightly stunned and said, "If it doesn't work today, it will definitely work tomorrow!"
He looked at the children who had just finished singing not far away, and his eyes showed a look of hope: "Even if our generation fails, there will still be them who will stand up! China is now in a turmoil unseen in 5,000 years, it is a crisis and an opportunity, the Qing court is corrupt and incompetent, and foreign enemies are invading Koubian, and this is the best time for us to overthrow the tyranny." ”
When Lu Haodong said this, his face, which was originally ugly because of Nalan Yuanshu's search, quickly became ruddy: "Overthrowing the imperial system and establishing a republic is the trend of the times, history has come to this point, and the change has been unstoppable, but there is no bloodless change in the world, and my friends and I are ready to shed blood and sacrifice." ”
He looked at the young lives in front of him and said softly: "We may die in the darkness today, but these children will definitely be able to see the rising sun tomorrow." ”
"Brother Li, I am still full of hope for China's future. ”
Li Xiake said with a smile: "Not bad! China's future will not be very bad, if not very good. At least it's much stronger than it is now!"
Sun Wen next to him said: "If the future is really as Brother Li said, we people will be blind to death!"
Lu Haodong said: "I hope so!"
Li Xiake said with a smile: "That's it, let's have a good rest today, and when I wait for me to send you to Shamian Wharf early tomorrow morning, or early in the morning, I will send you two to Shamian Wharf." If you two are caught in front of me, then I'm too useless!"
When Li Xiake was looking for a place to eat and rest, Sun Wen looked at Lu Haodong: "Haodong, is this Li Xiake credible? The people who will go to Shamian Wharf tomorrow are not only the two of us, but more than a dozen comrades are all meeting there, what if this ......?"
"There won't be any case!"
Lu Haodong interrupted Sun Wen's words: "The only people who can betray us can only be our internal people, and people like Brother Li are generous and heroic, they will not be villains who betray their friends, I am very confident in his character!"
Seeing Lu Haodong's expression, Sun Wen didn't want to say anything, so he nodded and said, "Haodong, I believe in you! Since you believe in him, then I also believe in him!"
Lu Haodong smiled: "Brother Li won't let you down!"
Although he and Li Xiake only met yesterday, some people may not be able to become friends with the people around them for a lifetime, but some people may have a lifelong friendship just after meeting once. Lu Haodong admired Li Xiake's previous actions of killing the White Lotus Sect and deterring the Qing soldiers, and he had never seen such an unscrupulous person as Li Xiake, this kind of person was arrogant and slow, and he didn't bother to betray his friends at all.
Lu Haodong and Li Xiake hit it off at first sight, and their friendship was shallow and deep, and he had a confidence in Li Xiake to say it, and firmly believed that Li Xiake would not behave badly towards them.
In the evening, Lu Haodong called dozens of children who were taking refuge in the consulate to him, squatted on the ground and whispered to them: "The teacher is going to leave you temporarily in the past few days, and I may not be able to see you for several years, and I may never see you again." But ah......"
He touched the head of a child in front of him and said, "You must remember that you are Chinese, and you will learn well in the future, and you must contribute to our country." Now you have to hide in the consulate of foreigners in order to avoid danger, and when you become stronger, I hope that you no longer need to hide from anyone on Chinese soil!"
Although the children in front of him didn't understand what Lu Haodong was saying, they could sense a kind of parting sorrow from Lu Haodong, the children were the most sensitive, and when they heard that the teacher was leaving tomorrow, some of their eyes were red.
After Lu Haodong stood up, his eyes were also a little red, and he sighed to Li Xiake: "I want to see them grow up little by little!"
Li Xiake smiled: "Even if you still don't look at them, these children should become talents, and they will still become talents, Brother Haodong, why are you so sad?"
Lu Haodong shook his head and smiled: "Yes, maybe there will be a chance to meet in the future!"
The three of them rested separately, and when they arrived in the early morning of the next day, Li Xiake woke up the two: "It's time to go!"
Sun Wen and Lu Haodong slept in their clothes all night, and after being woken up by Li Xiake, they hurriedly got up and walked out of the room with him.
At this time, it was dark in the consulate, and the three of them quietly walked to the side of the wall, Li Xiake's body slowly stopped, his ears moved, he sensed the movement outside, and whispered to Lu Haodong, "Get ready, don't make a sound!"
Before Lu Haodong could react, his shoulders suddenly tightened, his body had already risen into the air, and the things in front of him changed sharply, and when he came back to his senses, the people had already arrived outside the wall, and not far away, there were two Qing soldiers watching them sticking to the wall and falling asleep.
Lu Haodong was in shock, and Li Xiake's voice came: "Don't be stunned, hide behind the big tree in front of you, and I'll take Sun Wen out again!"
Just when Lu Haodong was quietly hiding behind the tree, Li Xiake returned to the wall and carried Sun Wen out of the wall as he could.
After the two converged, Sun Wen cocked his thumb and whispered: "Brother Li, good kung fu! If I succeed in the future, I will definitely hire you to be my bodyguard!"
Li Xiake smiled: "Bodyguard, let me save people, it's okay to be a bodyguard." ”
He said to the two of them: "Shamian Pier is not close to here, you two go first, I will go and bring my horse out, let it carry you away, and you can get to the dock quickly." ”
Lu Haodong was surprised: "Brother Li, your red horse weighs at least a thousand catties, how can you get it out?"
Li Xia said: "What's so difficult about this?
He hurried back to the consulate, walked to his red horse, wrapped the horse's four hooves in broken steps, and clamped the horse's mouth, and then got into the horse's belly, and with a slight force on his arms, he lifted the red horse of more than 1,000 catties.
After holding up the red horse, Li Xiake strode towards the courtyard wall, bent down and jumped, and jumped out of the courtyard wall with the red horse, and chased in the direction where Lu Haodong and Sun Wen left.
When he walked in front of Lu Haodong and Sun Wen against the red horse, the surprised eyes of the two were about to pop out, and Lu Haodong stammered: "Li ...... Brother Li, you jumped out with this big horse on your shoulder?"
Li Xiake put the red horse on the ground and said with a smile: "The movement of this horse walking is too big, it is better for me to resist it and be quiet, okay, two, get on the horse, my red horse is more than enough for the two of you." ”
Sun Wen was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses: "Then what should you do?"
Li Xiake smiled: "You go first, I'll break the back for the two of you later." ”
Sun Wen was greatly moved: "Brother Li, why are you so good to the two of us?"
Li Xiake said with a smile: "If other Chinese have the same experience as me, I believe they will also be very good to you!"
He asked the two of them to climb on horseback, and said softly: "Let's go, take care of yourself, don't die in the middle of the change, then the loss will be great." ”
