When He Shaobai left the Summer Palace, his body was weak and his head was dazed, as if he was still in a dream and had not woken up.

After climbing over the wall, I couldn't tell the direction. As soon as my feet landed, someone shouted, "The assassin is here——"

Only then did He Shaobai fully wake up, and he did a ridiculous and life-threatening thing.

There were guards outside the wall, and beyond that there were his green soldiers. The most important thing now was to break out of the siege. He Shaobai looked at the figures surrounding him, threw a dart, hit one of them and ran away.

There were not many defenses on each wall. By the time the reinforcements came, He Shaobai had already arrived at the perimeter. The green camp soldiers were not as dedicated as the Ouchi guards, nor were they as brave as the Ouchi guards. He Shaobai slashed left and right with his sword.

, he frightened away the soldiers surrounding him with a bluff.

He was running in front, and the Green Camp soldiers were chasing after him. He ran a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked: "Hey, stop, which direction is this?"

As expected, those Green Camp soldiers stood dumbfounded and replied casually: "Dongfang——"

He Shaobai wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he turned around and ran again. The Green Camp soldiers were startled for a moment, then continued to chase, shouting while chasing: "Stop, stop..."

Back in the barracks, the confidant was still pretending to be sick. He Shaobai quickly took off his makeup, changed his clothes, and left the camp to patrol everywhere. The guard commander Zengxi had already sent someone to notify him, asking them to step up patrols.

, to prevent the assassin from running out.

This time the assassin really ran away.

Zengxi came out and scolded He Shaobai severely, cursing: "A bunch of trash, they can't even stop a single assassin."

He Shaobai said: "The soldiers under my command are limited, and the garden is so big. The people are spread out, and only one person is only ten meters away. The assassin is like stepping on a hot wheel, and there is no way he can catch up."

Zengxi was Cixi's nephew, and luckily it was him. If it had been anyone else on duty, Cixi would have cut off his head. Zengxi had just been scolded by Cixi in the garden, and at this time he was contradicted by the temporarily transferred guerrillas.

Annoyed, he said angrily: "Rong Lu is also an old fool, look who he sent! You don't want to come tomorrow, go back to where you came from!"

He Shaobai pretended to be aggrieved and muttered: "There are so many powerful Ouchi guards who can't catch the assassin, how can a few soldiers stop him..."

"Go away, if you keep making excuses, I'll kill you!"

When He Shaobai returned to the barracks, his confidant said with lingering fear: "Boss, are you a monster? How do you get into the garden?"

"What are you talking about? I'm bored here. I went out for a walk. Who knows, an assassin will sneak into the garden. You have to keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense. You don't know the temper of Lafayette? Listen.

The wind is like rain, it can really destroy your whole family!"

Of course Cixi was furious. Three layers of guards actually let the assassin sneak into the garden. Needless to say, of course he came for her. Yulu was unlucky and blocked the knife. If she walked out of Leshou Hall, what would happen?

Don't rush it.

Cixi did not dare to live in the Summer Palace anymore and ordered her to return to the Forbidden City. Zengxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Zengxi remembered He Shaobai's revenge for "offending the superior" and asked Ronglu to punish He Shaobai. Although Ronglu was reprimanded by Cixi, he also knew the virtues of the Green Camp soldiers, and letting the assassins run away was nothing.

Shaobai neglected his duty, so He Shaobai was given a chance to make amends and ordered to capture the assassin within a time limit, otherwise he would be sent to the front line of the war.

If He Shaobai were to arrest him, of course the case would never be closed.

He Shaobai felt happy when he thought about it, and when he thought about the tenderness of the Four Geges, he felt that there was endless joy in the capital.

He did not have to guard the city gate and could wander around the city. He Shaobai was free. He led two men and took advantage of the convenience of investigating the case to visit all parts of the city. Sometimes he also stayed behind the palace for a long time. He felt a little nostalgic. Gege.

Zhong Yisheng, who is within reach, can't get it yet. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to think about the four empty spaces deep in the palace? Fortune plays a trick on people, and what they want cannot be obtained, but a chance encounter captured the heart of a beautiful woman.

He Shaobai wandered around the city for a few days and became bored, so he went to see Shen Tong for a drink.

Shen Tong happened to receive a letter of inquiry from Chen Shouzhi and was about to reply truthfully. When he saw He Shaobai, he thought he was here to intercede, so he asked first: "Shaobai, tell me the truth. How deep are people’s entanglements?”

He Shaobai didn't understand why he asked this question, and said: "Shaobai likes to socialize. He knows a lot of friends in the world, but he doesn't have any deep entanglements with them. After all, we have different ways and we don't want to conspire with each other."

"You never told the truth."

"How could Brother Shen say this?"

"That friend of yours, the last time he came here, there was a murder case in the capital, and two Japanese people died inexplicably. This time he showed up again, and someone almost succeeded in assassinating the Queen Mother... Shaobai, I'm really afraid that you have something to do with him. It’s an ulterior secret. If something happens to him, you will not be able to escape his involvement."

"Which friend is Brother Shen talking about?"

Zhong Yishi had already met Shen Tong. Of course, she did not find him directly, but asked Mr. Yi to come forward to accompany her. She thought that because of Mr. Yi's face, Shen Tong would agree to her request.

But no, Shen Tong flatly refused. He was unwilling to take risks for someone who didn't know the details.

Zhong Yishi told Shen Tong that he would donate a batch of property to the court to help the officers and soldiers fight the foreigners, but he was intercepted by Chen Captou, the governor of Shandong Province on the way. Because of his relationship with Shen Tong, Chen Captou allowed him to go, but in On the way to the capital, I happened to meet the Boxers who were going to Tianjin to defend against the enemy. I thought that if I presented it to the court, it would still have to be transferred to the army. The Boxers were short of supplies, so I gave it to them directly. I asked Shen Captou to receive Chen Shouzhi's inquiry letter. When it comes to this plot, it is only said that Prince Su received the donation.

Don't think too carefully, this kind of thing is most likely false. Shen Tong secretly complained that Chen Shouzhi, as the head catcher, made such a stupid decision. Why do you need to ask me for confirmation when you handle your case? If they really Send the money to Prince Su's Mansion, and there will be a receipt from the Prince to prove your innocence, and write to me to ask for proof as evidence to close the case. What kind of trick is this!

Shen Tong refused to acknowledge the account and refused. Mr. Yi believed in Zhong Yishi and tried to persuade him, saying: "In the face of a powerful enemy, it is rare for people to have such patriotic enthusiasm. Since the property is for war, it can be given to anyone." Likewise, Shen Captou must not upset the hearts of the righteous people."

Shen Tong stopped Mr. Yi's mouth with one sentence and said: "Young Master Yi is a relative of Prince Su. Why don't you ask Prince Su to be a witness? His words are more effective than Shen's."

Mr. Yi couldn't persuade him anymore.

Seeing Shen Tong's stubbornness, Zhong Yishi knew that she couldn't make sense, so she had to find a way to find He Shaobai. She went to the Summer Palace, but He Shaobai withdrew his troops and missed again.

Shen Tong saw He Shaobai come to the door and knew that he was handling the case of arresting the assassin. Seeing his unhurried and calm demeanor, he felt that there must be twists and turns in this.

After talking for a long time, He Shaobai did not mention asking him to testify. Shen Tong felt even more suspicious. Zhong Yishi knew his relationship with He Shaobai, so why didn't he tell He Shaobai such an important matter?

Is this so that He Shaobai will not be implicated in case something happens?
