Chapter 50 Xuanwu Gate

"Latest news, latest news! Li Xiake appeared in Lushun, Northeast China, burned the Biaozhong Tower on Baiyushan, killed the Japanese commander Masao Komura, and captured the traitor Liu Yutian alive!"

On the beach, the young newspaper boys' tender voices resounded throughout the morning streets. Their shouts attracted the attention of passers-by or people in suits. When passing by the newspaper boys, they would pay for one.

It has been almost a month since Li Xiake made a big fuss on the streets of Shanghai. He seemed to have suddenly disappeared, as if he had lurked again, like a predator tiger hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to act.

This made everyone uneasy. Not only the Japanese were nervous, but even a group of foreign ambassadors in China were nervous, fearing that Li Xiake would go crazy and cut off their heads.

Not only foreigners were nervous, but even Chinese people still couldn't sleep. Since Li Xiake disappeared, more than 50 soldiers with live ammunition patrols and guards in Yuan Shikai's mansion every day. Several surrendered princes from the Qing Dynasty were also frightened and needed to smoke opium to relieve their tension.

Since ancient times, no one has been clean when accomplishing great things, so everyone is a little afraid of Li Xiake.

A knife is the most terrifying only when it is raised but not yet fallen.

Now that Li Xiake is acting so violently, there is no one in the world who dares to kill and cannot kill. Therefore, after he disappeared, all those who have done unbearable things are frightened, fearing that one day the disaster will fall from the sky and the flying general will take his head.

Now that he has news again, many people are extremely concerned, and even the common people want to know what earth-shaking things Li Xiake has done.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers!"

The newspaper boy kept repeating the news he heard today on the street: "Li Xiake captured the traitor Liu Yutian alive, and is now advancing from outside the pass to the Central Plains!"

Today's newspapers are very popular as long as they are related to Li Xiake. There are dozens of sayings on the market about Li Xiake's origin. Some people say that he is a Tiansha Star descending to the earth, specializing in killing monsters and defending the country. Some people say that he is Erlang Zhenjun coming to the world, and the red line between his eyebrows can be proved.

More people think that Li Xiake should be the legendary successor of the swordsman. Seeing the chaos in the world, he came out of the mountain to subdue demons...

"After Li Xiake caught the traitor Liu Yutian, he specially made a cage car and pulled him to sell along the street. He tied a wooden sign on him, saying 'Big traitor Liu Yutian'. Who wants to slap Liu Yutian in the face, charge a slap, punch, charge a 3-month fee, cut a slash with a knife, charge a 5-month fee..."

In Jingwu Gate, Chen Zhen finished reading today's newspaper in the yard, and all the disciples of Jingwu Gate in the yard were in an uproar.

"Xia Li is so powerful. It's only a few days before he actually arrived in Lushun from us and killed another group of Japanese!"

"The newspaper said that he also burned the Biaozhong Tower built by the Japanese army in Baiyu Mountain, and now he has arrested the traitor Liu Yutian. What do you think he is so powerful? He has done such a big thing for him in just over a month!"

"Oh, it's too cruel for Hero Li to do this? After Liu Yutian caught him, he would kill him. Why to torture him like this? This does not match his identity as Hero!"

"This should be done when dealing with traitors and lackeys! I think it's right for Hero Li to do this!"

Not only did the disciples of the Jingwu Sect talk about Li Xiake's actions, but the whole of China was quarreling about this.

Some people think that this is what you should do when dealing with traitors, but some people think that since Liu Yutian is arrested, he will be killed. Why should he be humiliated like this? This is not a civilized society at all. Moreover, Li Xiake's actions are too violent and he will cut off people's heads at any time. This has caused great controversy internationally, and many people abroad regard the Chinese as a barbaric and uncivilized nation.

Anyway, some people applauded, and some people were negative about it.

However, many people have affirmed the whole story of Li Xiake killing Japanese officers and capturing Liu Yutian alive, and some people have condemned Li Xiake.

Because just after Li Xiake made a big fuss in Lushun, within ten days of his trip, the Japanese army began to carry out large-scale revenge against China and began to massacre Lushun and the innocent people around him.

In this crisis, Yuan Shikai reached an interim agreement with the Southern Revolutionary Army, served as the interim president of the Republic of China, led the troops across the country, and ordered Zhang Zuolin, Northeast China to lead the army to resist the Japanese invasion.

Now that the Japanese Emperor and his family have been killed, the former shogunate forces counterattacked. This time, the Japanese army in Lushun started a war against China, which was not an order from the Japanese army. In addition, it was a temporary intention, so after ten days of fighting with Zhang Zuolin, the two have ceased fire.

In this battle, Zhang Zuolin lost thousands of soldiers and the Japanese army lost more than 200. This is the smallest casualty rate in China's history of foreign wars since the Qing Dynasty.

The most important thing is that it did not fail, but tied the battle, and even pushed the front forward dozens of miles.

This is also a good news for Chinese people to enhance national self-esteem. Many people feel proud when they mention this matter.

Since the Opium War, the Qing government has retreated step by step, and has not even had a victory. It was a coincidence that once in a while, the other party counterattacked, and he could only kneel down and sign a traitorous treaty to exchange land for temporary peace.

In the view of Cixi and others of the Qing government, China is the Chinese, not the Manchus, so it is not heartbreaking to cede land compensation. Anyway, the Eight Banners' children do not have to pay taxes, and the compensation is exploited from the Han people. What are they so sad about?

But this made the Chinese people suffer at this time, and there is a saying that pigs and dogs are worse than pigs and dogs. In fact, the Chinese people at this time are really not much better than pigs and dogs.

That is why there were consecutive riots and the rise of the revolutionary army. In this way, the country must be destroyed!

Now that Zhang Zuolin was able to withstand the Japanese attack, it was beyond the expectations of many people. When Yuan Shikai wanted to send troops to support Zhang Zuolin, Western countries intervened and wanted to mediate.

So when Li Xiake drove the cage car to Beijing, Yuan Shikai was discussing with the envoys of many countries about the Japanese army.

"Come on, take a look, take a look! This is the big traitor Liu Yutian! Li Daxia said, slapping a penny, kicking a three-money, and punching a three-money is also slapping a three-money! Is there a one-money? Is there any? If not, we will go into the city!"

Near the gate of Xuanwu Gate in Beijing, a slutty boy stood in a carriage, holding a gong, and shouting, "Don't miss it when you pass by! The person in this cage car is the traitor Liu Yutian! Li Daxia said that he would pull into Beijing today and behead him in the city and show his head in the city! If you don't fight, you will have no chance!"

Li Xiake slowly followed the cage car with a long spear and a sabre on his waist. Liu Yutian in the cage car was no longer a human being. His ears had been bitten off, and there were many small holes on his cheeks. There were almost no complete piece of meat on his body.

Since leaving Lushun, Li Xiake has been acting in a high-profile manner. He has never avoided the crowds through the prefectures and counties. When he arrives in a crowded place, he shouts to sell tickets along the way to beat Liu Yutian.

At this time, the people hated traitors the most, especially the people in the Northeast. What they were most worried about was the Japanese invasion, so they hated traitors twice as much. Therefore, Li Xiake's business of selling tickets was very good. Later, he was lazy and hired a slutty head to shout for him.

Local government personnel were a little afraid of Li Xiake, and no one dared to stop him. When Li Xiake passed by the local area, local officials only thought they could not see it.

A Manchu official couldn't stand his arrogant look and wanted to use cannons to kill Li Xiake, but Li Xiake was furious and killed all the dozen people who deliberately murdered him.

Seeing that he was so fierce, everyone was in danger of his own. Some corrupt officials were afraid that they would be killed by him, Li Xiake, and they actually ran away from the county government with their family.

Now Li Xiake's deterrence is comparable to a wave of chaos.

Now he is swaggeringly snatching the traitor and trying to enter Beijing City. This is simply a provocation to the entire Beijing government. It is fine if you, Li Xiake, kill people in private. If the people do not raise officials, they will not investigate them. The Japanese will be killed. If they really say it, no one should condemn you.

But from the perspective of the law, Li Xiake is a murderer after all, and a thug who killed hundreds of people. No matter whether he killed a good person or a bad person, murder is a power that only people in the government can have. What qualifications does Li Xiake have to kill?

He acted in private, and no one dared to take care of him now, but now he is so high-profile that no one can tolerate him.

Therefore, when the cage car arrived at the gate of Xuanwu Gate, a row of soldiers carrying spears were already waiting for him. When he saw him approaching the gate, he immediately loaded the bullets and pointed them at Li Xiake.

An officer walked out of the city gate and shouted loudly to Li Xiake: "Li Xiake, you have made contributions to catching traitors. President Yuan admires you very much, but you are so lawless, but you have caused great disasters for China and greatly smeared China's image! International public opinion is very unfavorable to China!"

He said this, took out his pistol and fired three shots in the sky: "Hiss Li, go! It's impossible for you to enter the capital like this!"

Li Xiake was furious: "Why can't I enter? Did Yuan Shikai not let me enter? Why should he?"
