Chapter 55 Lesson Plan

In the east flower hall behind the government office, Liu Yanzhi held his waist knife and guarded the bedroom door. He had a premonition that the lady who looked like Zhen Yue would appear.

Sure enough, two slim figures appeared under the shadow of the tree, and stopped in the distance for a while before walking over gracefully. It turned out that Miss Lin appeared with her maid. The maid was holding a tray in her hand, and Liu Yan shrugged his nose, which was the smell of Tremella lotus seed soup.

The two women walked to the moon gate, and Liu Yanzhi pretended to be alert and asked, "Who is coming?"

"The little girl is Lin Su, the daughter of Lin Huaiyuan, the main hall of Okinawa Prefecture, and comes to send Mr. Zhou a midnight snack."

Liu Yanzhi took the lotus seed soup into the house because Mr. Zhou had already rested, and then came out again. The three of them stood in the corridor, a little embarrassed. Miss Lin pinched the corner of her clothes and lowered her head without saying anything. Xiao Cui was anxious and had nothing to say: "Mr. Liu, are you really Zhao Zilong's reincarnation?"

"I'm atheist, there's no reincarnation in the world. I'm an atheist." Liu Yanzhi said this, but he wondered why Miss Lin looks the same as Zhen Yue, and even speaks the same voice.

"Then where did you learn your marksmanship?" Xiao Cui continued to find nothing to say.

"I haven't learned gunshot skills, I'm just practicing blindly." Liu Yanzhi scratched his head and said. He was not good at speaking, especially in front of the young girl.

Xiao Cui chuckled, thinking that this imperial guard was so interesting and was different from what he imagined.

Lin Su coughed dryly, and Xiao Cui immediately didn't dare to laugh and said, "Oh, I haven't washed the dishes yet." Then he ran away.

Only Liu Yanzhi and Lin Su were left in the corridor. They were both dull, glancing at the flowers and plants in the yard, and their hearts were distracted. Time seemed to become thicker, flowing forward in seconds, and each other could hear the sound of heartbeats.

In the end, Liu Yan spoke first: "That... you look very much like someone I know."

This is a clichéd chat, but it is particularly useful in this era. Lin Suyouyou asked, "Is it your childhood sweetheart?"

Liu Yanzhi thought to himself that Miss Lin had a lot of imagination and quickly explained: "No, I just met her for a while, and she was a firefighter and a firefighter."

"The fire is putting out?" Miss Lin couldn't understand the connection between the young woman and putting out the fire.

Liu Yanzhi realized the gap between the times and explained in vain, saying, "You are not people from the same world."

"Oh, the beauty is poor." Miss Lin sighed, thinking that this person is so pitiful, and his fiancée died before she got married.

The two of them were chatting in a mess. At the same time, Lei Meng was discussing with him in Lin Huaiyuan's signing room on how to go to Beijing. With the authority of the prefect, they could allocate eight fast horses and four sets of official uniforms, and travel north at night with a rush of 600 miles. However, Lin Huaiyuan had a question in his heart, why did he escape from the capital and then fall into the trap?

"Our master entrusted the prefect to take care of him." Lei stood up and bowed with his fists.

"I dare not take it." Lin Huaiyuan also stood up and bowed. The imperial guards were third-rank military officers, and the prefect was only from the fourth-rank, and they were just a small part of them in terms of grade.

When Lei Meng returned to the East Flower Hall, Lin Su was still chatting with Liu Yanzhi. When he saw someone coming in, he realized that it had been delayed for too long. His face turned red and said goodbye, and he turned away.

"Is this a hookup?" Lei Meng winked and pushed the door into the room. When he saw the tremella soup placed on the table, he picked it up and swallowed it in a few bites. He thought it was too bad: "It's a little cold."

Teacher Zhou was still unconscious and was a big burden with him, so he simply threw it to Prefect Lin for care. Everyone reached a consensus on this. The fast horse official uniform will be sent here tomorrow morning, and set off early in the morning to rush to the capital as soon as possible. Complete the task first.

The sound of a jackpot hitting the champagne came from a distance. It was late at night and Liu Yan couldn't sleep. His mind was full of shadows of Miss Lin and Zhen Yue. Although these two looked very similar, their personalities were completely different. One was a heroic firefighter and the other was a daughter who was kept in the boudoir. Compared with Zhen Yue, Lin Su was simply like a piece of white paper.

Liu Yan couldn't sleep, and Lin Su couldn't sleep. This was the first time she had been chatting with a young man who had never been married for so long. Her heart was pounding and she couldn't hold it down after drinking a pot of tea. Xiao Cui, a dead girl, came to ask for her with a smile, and said nothing about it. She would ask the master to propose marriage tomorrow and take Zhao Zilong as her aunt.

"Another nonsense, tear your mouth apart." Lin Su was angry, but her heart was sweet. It would be great if it was really like what Xiao Cui said, but her father might have other ideas, and in a blink of an eye she was frowning.

...

The next morning, the post station sent eight fast horses, and Zhang Bantou prepared four sets of military robes, red tassels, thin-soled fast boots, and a handwritten letter to Lao Taishan.

Lei Meng and four others turned over their horses outside the back door of the government office and bowed to Lin Huaiyuan: "Thank you, it will take at least half a month, and it will take a month later. We will definitely come back."

"Take care all the way." Lin Huaiyuan walked, watching the four of them leave and returned home with confidence.

Each of the traveling teams was two fast horses, wearing official uniforms, with official swords, and furious horses in bright clothes, and were majestic. However, after leaving the gate of Orie Mansion, they were confused. They only knew that Beijing was in the north and they were completely unclear what path to take.

"Let's go north, first run to Xuzhou, then Jinan, and all the avenues lead to Beijing. I don't believe that the four living people can't even find the way." Lei Feng waved his whip and led the way.

Eight horses ran for two miles, and Lei Meng suddenly stopped the horse and pointed at the front with a whip: "There is something!"

There is a Gothic building in front of it, with a cross erected on the spire. It is clearly a church, surrounded by at least thousands of people, with the sound of people and the excitement is very lively.

"Will you watch it if you have fun?" Lei Meng raised the spirit of democracy and asked.

"Just take a look." Everyone was very interested.

When I walked closer, I found that the scene was even bigger than I thought. Not only were there casual men watching the fun, but also a large number of officers and soldiers. Under an extraordinary umbrella, there were officials wearing all kinds of feathers. Liu Yanzhi's eyes were sharp-eyed. Seeing the official's refurbished uniform embroidered with a pheasant on his chest, he knew that this was Lin Huaiyuan's immediate boss and the governor of Jiangdong.

The church was surrounded by Qing soldiers, and dozens of people were kneeling in the open space in front of the door. They looked like ordinary people dressed up, and their hair was pulled by others. The heads were stretched forward, revealing their long necks. Behind each of them was a red envelope head with a knife standing on the Boxer Regiment.

This is clearly a execution ground!

The governor was working on the spot and saw him throwing an arrow to the ground. The executioners there started to kill people, with their hands falling, their heads fell, and the blood from their necks spurted out far away. Whenever a head fell, the onlookers made excitement noises. The people standing behind could not see the beheading and screamed in a hurry. Some climbed up the tree branch, some stood on the roof, all looking forward to the next head landing.

Liu Yanzhi and others sat on the horse, with a broad vision and clear view. This slaughter-style execution made them feel bloody and disgusting.

"Let's go, kill the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are in charge." Liu Yanzhi said that the historical education he received before leaving was still useful. He was very clear about the current situation in China in 1900. The people who were protected by foreign churches repeatedly clashed with the local people, causing lesson plans. It can be said that these people deserved the crime and were not worthy of sympathy.

Everyone was about to continue their journey, when suddenly the shrill cry of the young child came. Liu Yan looked over, but saw the officers and soldiers escorting a foreign couple out of the church. The woman was holding a two-year-old child in her arms, with blonde hair and blue eyes, which was very cute.

The blood flowed in front of the church door. The foreign priest was not afraid and kept drawing crosses on his chest. The executioner pressed him to the ground and raised his sword, but his skills almost ignited. The long sword was embedded in his shoulder blades, and blood flowed. The onlookers burst into more fanatical shouts. The executioner probably deliberately chopped up three or four more knives, and finally cut off the priest's head with a blunt knife. Then he grabbed his hair and raised it high, and the fresh head was vivid.

The executioner grinned proudly, revealing his yellow teeth.

The foreign woman witnessed her husband being executed with her own eyes, but she did not shed tears. She just covered the child's eyes with her hands and said something loudly to the governor. Liu Yan was extremely straightforward and heard the woman's words from the deafening cheers.

She is speaking in Chinese that is not proficient, which means that she and her husband build churches here to cure the people's illnesses. She has no fault and made merits. She asks adults to kill themselves for the sake of God, but save their children's lives.

There was a translation next to the governor, who translated the words of the foreign lady. As expected, the adult opened his arms and waved his hand expressionlessly. Goshha, beside him, ran forward with a knife in his arms and ordered the officers and soldiers to drive the foreign lady back to the church. A group of boxers wearing red turbans surrounded him and piled up firewood around the church. Some people brought iron foreign oil barrels and sprinkled kerosene on the firewood.

Some people rushed out of the church, including religious elderly, weak, women and children, but they were stopped by the officers and soldiers. A big man walked towards the firewood with a torch in his hand and prepared to set fire.

"What should I do?" Liu Yan said straight and realized that his voice was trembling.

Lei Meng and the other three were also shocked by the terrifying scene. They were outsiders and did not know what had happened before. The conflict between the two sides was so deep that they had to wash away their hatred. However, killing women and children was a cowardly act that would never tolerate.

"Save people!" Lei Meng shouted loudly, drew his sword and rushed over.

Liu Yanzhi took out his pistol and followed closely behind. Although Zhang Wenbo and Guo Yuhang were a little worried that the enemy was strong and we were weak, they still followed him with a tough bullet.

Liu Yanzhi had accurate shooting skills and could still hit every shot on the running horse's back. He raised his hand and shot the man who was about to set fire to penetrate the wrist.

The gunshots sounded, and the people watching the fun were in chaos. The officers and soldiers around the stands raised their swords and guns and shouted at the top of their voices: "Protect the Lord!" The weapons they took were very mixed, including swords, guns, iron rulers, bows and arrows, bird guns and muskets and a small number of imported foreign guns. When encountering an emergency, they would only put guns in a random way to boost their courage.

But soon someone discovered that the troublemaker was just four cavalrymen, and they were wearing military uniforms. The governor under the command of the military camp raised the reins and shouted loudly: "Which battalion are you from?"

There were many soldiers stationed around Ori River Prefecture, including the water bravery of the Admiral of the Huaijiang Navy, the Eight Banners soldiers of the Ori River General, the Green Camp soldiers, the Training Braves, and the Model soldiers raised by each yamen. Just looking at the clothes, you can't tell the difference.

As soon as the general said that, Liu Yanzhi's horse head had already hit him. He didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. He turned his head slightly, slashed his sword, and fell on the general's cold hat, knocking him off the horse.

The governor was furious and pulled away Goshha who was standing in front of him, and ordered: "Take it down!"

"Sir, please take a look!" The Boxer brother standing under the stage casually put the whip around his neck, bit the tip of the whip in his mouth, took off his jacket neatly, and rushed up with his upper body naked, holding a big knife, while rumbling, asking God to go up.

Liu Yanzhi recognized that this man was Huang Banya who had just killed the priest. He hated his cruel methods and immediately stepped forward. The steel-forged waist knife drew an arc. The eldest brother saw his legs continue to run forward, but his upper body fell into the dust.
