Five soldiers from the firing squad stood in a row, holding Li Enfield rifles and aimed at Liu Yanzhi at the muzzle. This is a regular old European way to shoot people, and it feels very ritual. Just as the execution commander was about to shout "fire!", a sharp whistle came, and the experienced officer quickly fell to the ground, shouting: "Hidden!"

A shell landed accurately on the open space, blew up a piece of soil with grass leaves. The soldiers hid in time, and no one was injured or killed, but then they saw that the death row prisoners standing by the wall were nowhere to be found.

Just as they got up and were about to hunt down the death row prisoners, a scream came again, and another shell fell on the open space. No one dared to move around. Five shells fell one after another, and five craters were blown out of the open space. The shelling stopped for a moment. The soldiers were frightened and quickly evacuated.

The sudden shelling made the people in the embassy area convinced that Liu Yanzhi was indeed a spy. In order to cover him, the Qing army even used cannons. It was observed that the cannon firing position should be on the Zhengyangmen city wall, using a 57mm Grusen fast cannon. The artillery position was conspicuous, and the entire Dongjiaomin Lane was within range. It would take only minutes to destroy the embassy area, but these Chinese people were just used to rescue spies, and it was really difficult to understand their thinking.

They didn't know that these guns were fired by the Central Army of the Wuwei to hear the sound of the palace, not for Liu Yanzhi at all. Empress Dowager Cixi was good at slapping sweet dates. After giving melons, fruits, pears and peaches, they naturally had to slap them again, but they were afraid that the cannon would kill people and hurt their harmony, so they had to greet them in the open space, which saved Liu Yanzhi's life.

Liu Yanzhi survived his death, but he dared not delay in Dongjiaomin Lane. He used his light skills while the artillery was being bombarded, jumping and running wildly. The defenders fired at him, and the bullets hit the tiles, which could not hurt him at all.

Fortunately, the breakthrough he chose in panic was the Boxer Rebellion's defense line. When the Boxers on the opposite side saw a person running out of the embassy area, they were immediately disorganized and shouted that no one came forward. When they ran to the front, they found that they were not foreigners, but yellow-skinned and dark-eyed compatriots.

"I am the general translator of the Zongli Yamen, so I'm all out of the way." Liu Yan shouted, squeezed out a way from the Boxers, walked away with a swagger, ran to a place where no one was left before sitting down to rest, and his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.

This misunderstanding was too big. I tried my best to sneak into Dongjiaomin Lane. The goal was simply not there, and it might even be in China. An Tai's intelligence work was full of loopholes, but I couldn't blame them. It was probably because the ancestors of the Cunningham family liked to brag and added other people's Far East adventure to themselves. It can be seen that the credibility of memoirs is quite unreliable.

At noon, Liu Yan, who had been reflecting under the city wall for an hour, came back in disgrace. Everyone was very depressed when they learned about the failure of the mission.

"What do you think?" Lei Meng carried forward the spirit of democracy and convened three team members to discuss together.

"Since the person is not here, let's go back. If we don't leave the Eight-Nation Alliance, we will enter the city. I don't want to watch the foreigners massacre our compatriots." Zhang Wenbo said.

"That's right, we don't blame us for failing the mission. They blame their intelligence errors. Let's go back quickly. The war is in chaos, and it's not like that when we meet enemies again." Guo Yuhang looked at the bandage on Lei Meng's chest, glanced at Liu Yanzhi again, and said, "It's a big blame."

"What about your opinion?" Lei Meng looked at Liu Yanzhi. Although he was the leader, Liu Yanzhi was actually always the commander. Lei Meng was not a narrow-minded person and was happy to let the virtuous. He asked Zhang and Guo to speak just to behave. In fact, what he wanted to hear more was Liu Yanzhi's opinion.

Liu Yanzhi took a deep breath and said, "I plan to stay. I will find George Cunningham in China or the United States. If he doesn't have a year, he will be two years. If he doesn't have a year, he will be ten years. You can go back first. Let's have a ten-year appointment. You will pick me up in 1910."

"Are you sure?" Lei Meng was a little surprised and stayed alone in the chaotic times of the late Qing Dynasty. He could think of it.

"Confirm." Liu Yanzhi was very relaxed, "I know the direction of history and have a lot of skills. I won't do it too badly. Besides, it's not that I can't go back. Even if I can't go back, it's pretty good. You can read those time travel novels, where the protagonists have three wives and four concubines, so it's better to be as comfortable as possible. Maybe I change the direction of history and make it possible to get the founding president of the country."

"Don't!" Lei took a deep breath, "History has changed drastically, and we may no longer exist."

Liu Yan smiled and said, "Just kidding, I won't do anything randomly. I have decided to complete the task."

"Okay, I'll approve it." Lei Meng had no choice but to do anything, this was the only feasible way.

Since their target was not in Beijing, it would be meaningless to stay in Beijing. They decided to set off and return to Jiangdong. However, before leaving, Liu Yanzhi wanted to go to Li Chongzheng's mansion to say goodbye, and he would advise him to leave Beijing quickly to avoid the war.

In the afternoon, Liu Yanzhi went to Li's mansion. Lord Li went to the yamen to pay duty. The housekeeper invited him to have tea in the living room of the downfall room to wait. When it was getting dark, the follower next to Lord Li came back first and rushed into the door and cried, "It's not good, it's not good."

The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to inquire. It turned out that Li Chongzheng was suddenly arrested half an hour ago. He took off his petals, stripped of his official uniform, and was sent to the prison for collusion with foreigners and understanding foreigners.

The Li family suddenly fell into a collapsed situation. A moment later, crying came from the inner house, and no one greeted Liu Yanzhi. Although he didn't know the real reason why Li Chongzheng was arrested, he could vaguely guessed that it had something to do with him. He was in a bad mood and left without saying goodbye.

...

We can't leave tonight, and everyone decided to set off tomorrow morning. Xia Feixiong and Yan Shengnan would not go with them. Although they had only been together for two days, their relationship was still very strong. Everyone found a tavern to drink farewell. They were all children in the martial arts world, without any sorrow of parting, only a heroic spirit.

"Yanzhi, from then on, we are separated from each other. I'm afraid we'll see each other again decades later, we'll do it!" Xia Feixiong picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

Liu Yanzhi also did the wine in the bowl and took out the shell gun and said, "Master, you have more trouble than me, so keep this gun for protection."

Xia Feixiong refused to accept it, but in the end he couldn't resist his disciple's enthusiasm and reluctantly accepted it. At the same time, he asked Yan Shengnan to take out the Yu Ruyi from the bag.

"We are walking around the world with this thing in the way, you can take it."

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Liu Yanzhi was not pretentious and accepted Yu Ruyi.

Liang Dingbang drank with his head down and kept silent. He knew that he was a low-key person and was a "traitor". He did not dare to be on par with the heroes and sat in the last seat when he had dinner, but everyone actually did not look down on him.

Lei Meng said: "Dingbang, where are you going? Go back to your hometown in Weihai, or go to Tianjin to find your troops?"

Liang Dingbang said: "Thank you all to take care of you, I will never forget my life-saving grace. Just keep me, my benefactors, and I can go back to Weihai by myself."

Lei Meng said: "You have enough cars and horses, and you have bad legs and feet, so you can be with us."

After some drinks, everyone left the tavern and was about to get on the carriage when suddenly the blind man at the fortune telling stall on the roadside shouted: "Several heroes should help you, touch your head and tell fortunes, but you can't do it for money."

Lei Meng was idle and said, "Do you think about it for me, see how many years I can live?"

When the fortune teller saw the business coming, he was overjoyed. He stood up and stretched out his hand tremblingly, but he could not reach Lei Meng's head. Everyone laughed, Lei Meng squatted down, grabbed the blind man's hand and placed it on his head: "Touch it, it's not accurate, I'll smash your stall."

The blind man touched it for a while and showed a strange look on his face: "This... the old man has been telling fortune for many years, but he has never touched such a head with a very skeleton."

"Hurry up and say serious, don't talk about useless things." Lei Meng said.

"Zun Jia is from a rank of a rank, but he has no talent as a general, so he can only be a military officer." The blind man spoke directly, "In the future, he will be a rich man, and his life is long... Be good, Zun Jia can live at least 120 years old."

There was another burst of laughter, but this time Liu Yanzhi and others didn't laugh, only Xia Feixiong and Liang Dingbang were laughing.

Lei Meng's face changed. The fortune teller said that he could live 120 years old, which was calculated from 1900, and he could live for three years in the benchmark time and space.

The blind man had a very good hearing, his ears trembled, and pointed at Liang Dingbang and said, "I will touch you, this guest."

"Me?" Liang Dingbang was surprised, but he walked forward and asked the blind man to touch his head.

The blind man touched for a while and smiled on his face: "Well, this is a blessed head, but the blessing must be on your descendants and your great-grandson, who can have a future as a governor."

"Governor?" Liang Dingbang was overjoyed, "Is it the Governor of Zhili or the Governor of Liangjiang? Is it blue smoke coming from my ancestral tomb?"

The blind man calculated his fingers and said, "Not one, he is the governor of a small southern island."

Liang Dingbang smiled: "Blind, just talk nonsense."

Zhang Wenbo and Guo Yuhang also asked the blind man to touch him. After the blind man passed by each other, he frowned and said, "There is something I don't know whether to say it or not. You two have died once."

"But how many times have we been gunfire and bullets gone by? Aren't we the ones who have died several times?" Zhang Wenbo said, "Then see how old can I live?"

"After one hundred and ten years old," said the blind man.

Their faces changed drastically and they stopped talking.

Seeing that they were happy, Xia Feixiong wanted to do it, but was pulled by Yan Shengnan: "You are a lie, don't believe it."

Liu Yanzhi was skeptical and disbelief. He met a master today. He stepped forward: "Master, touch it for me."

The blind man stretched out his skinny hands and touched Liu Yanzhi's head. After touching for a long time, the suspicious expression on his face became even heavier.

"What do you say? I won't smash your stall." Liu Yanzhi took out two silver dollars and tapped them in his hand. When the blind man heard the crisp sound of silver, his ears moved again and swallowed.

"Guest, the old man really can't calculate your life, I can't collect this money."
