Chapter Fourteen
Chapter 14: Open foreign meat
Chen Zikun was also a little panicked. During the days when he was pulling a cart, he often went to the entrance of the book and teahouse to squat and listened to the free drums. What is the jokes of Emperor Kangxi capturing Oboi and Emperor Qianlong going to Jiangnan for five trips to him? In these stories, the guards in the inner guards are often important supporting roles. In the interpretation of the storyteller, the guards in the imperial front are both wise and brave, handsome and cool.
But after a closer look, the big inner guards were tall, fat and thin, with a hunched back, and they didn't seem to be very good at acting, but they had a very strong temper. They shouted to the side: "Ha! Where did the unruly people come from, dare to go to the big inner guards! I wonder if this is under the feet of the emperor."
Chen Zikun's passion was suddenly aroused. Although he had heard of the greatness of the big guards in the teahouse, he spent more time in Peking University to see the ideas of democracy and freedom. The Qing Empire was already over and the emperor abdicated. These guards dared to rely on their power. It was really intolerable.
"Mom, why are you doing the big guard? You're going to beat me." Chen Zikun rolled up his sleeves, spitted in the slap, and turned around to ask the brothers: "Are you watching me hit me, or go together?"
It turned out that Guoer, the youngest, was the first to stand up, with a tall and tall breast: "Fuck it!"
Then there is Zhao Jiayong, who is a soldier who eats food, and he is more courageous than ordinary people: "Brother Kun, I'm the one."
Xue Baoqing and Xiao Shunzi looked at each other and both of them were at this point. No matter how scared they were, they had to bite the bullet.
The five brothers were ready to step forward and attack, but suddenly Yao Yilei shouted: "Wait!"
Chen Zikun said, "What's wrong?"
Yao Yilei ran back to the car, took a pack of popcorn she bought on the road just now, found a clean staircase and sat down, waved her hand and said, "It's OK."
Chen Zikun's nose was so angry that he turned his head and shouted to the yellow jackets: "I promise you first, don't touch guys."
The guards of the inner guards were not vague, and they took off their swords and walked over with cold eyes. The two sides stood still and looked at each other.
The guards were not young anymore. Although their faces were shaved and their hats were clean and their jackets were clean, they always seemed to think that was not the case. After a closer look, there were several masters who had patched their boots, but the arrogance of the emperor and his ministers on their faces was very arrogant.
Chen Zikun shouted rudely: "Which turtle son called?"
A guard said angrily: "Bold! Do you know that he has committed a crime of disrespect?"
"You big mom, you're a slap." Chen Zikun punched the guard in the cheek, and made him bleeding from his nose on the spot. Both sides rushed forward and started fighting.
After fighting, I realized that the legendary guards were just that. The Qing Dynasty had fallen for several years, and the palace was guarding the guards. The guards had already lost their skills and had their waists fat. At best, they were just middle-aged soldiers with quick hands and feet, and they had a draw with the half-best boys in the alley.
The fight was so lively. In the end, they basically fell down. The guards were crooked and their armor was tilted, their noses were blue and swollen, and their yellow jackets were torn. Of course, Xue Baoqing, Xiao Shunzi and others were not much better. Their clothes were torn to pieces and they sat on the ground and gasped.
Only the guard head and Chen Zikun were left at the gate of Shenwu. The battle was full of fists and feet. Both of them were secretly surprised by the other's martial arts skills.
The two sides did not fight each other for death, they all stopped, so they had many different ways and the fight was extremely exciting. Suddenly, there was a burst of applause from the Shenwu Gate, and then a duck's voice rattled: "Good fight!"
Chen Zikun looked up and saw a thin boy of thirteen or fourteen years old standing on the Shenwu Gate Tower with a pair of mojing glasses on his face. He really deserves a beating with a hippie smile.
"Are you Henry?" Chen Zikun pretended to be confused with his understanding. The other party's virtue was clearly the deposed Emperor Xuantong. If someone wanted to change someone else, he might have knelt down and kowtowed, but he would not buy this account.
Xuan Tong smiled and said, "I am Henry, Henry is me."
Xiao Shunzi and the others looked at each other and were all stunned. They fought with the emperor in this fight. Although the emperor resigned, he was still the emperor of the Nine Five. How could the people offend him?
"Good luck to the emperor!" Xiao Shunzi reacted first, and kowtowed one head, Xue Baoqing also kowtowed and shouted long live the mountain. Zhao Jiayong was at a loss, and Guoer even opened her mouth wide, completely frightened.
Emperor Xuantong laughed and waved his hand: "Let them come in."
The guards brought the young men and Yao Yilei into the Shenwu Gate. The red walls were towering around them, the horns were towering, and the green bricks were paved with the floor. The people standing with their hands hanging down on both sides of the road were all wearing the robes of the Qing Dynasty, each with white face without any beard. They must be the legendary eunuchs.
Everyone came to a palace west of the Imperial Garden with trembling fear. The plaque had three words "Shufangzhai". The emperor sat down in the middle, and a eunuch and a foreigner in suit and ties stood behind him. Chen Zikun's eyes lit up when he saw him. Isn't this Johnston, who had been to the slum with Dr. Stanley.
When Emperor Xuantong saw them coming in, he got off the throne, walked straight to Chen Zikun, and stretched out his hand to him: "Welcome to Forbidden City, Misto Chen."
Chen Zikun reached out and shook the emperor with neither humility nor arrogant attitude, and smiled and said, "The emperor invited me to eat a table of tables in the Beijing Hotel for eight yuan. I haven't thanked you yet."
The emperor laughed again.
Johnston came and said, "That was a joke, a British prank, I hope you don't mind."
Chen Zikun smiled and said, "Of course I won't mind, Mr. Zhuang."
Johnston was stunned: "Young man, do you know me?"
Chen Zikun said: "In January, I once visited you very presumptuously at Citi Clinic."
Johnston suddenly realized: "I remember you."
Xuan Tong said: "He was Chen Zikun, who had defeated too much Zhankui and broke into the bandit's nest alone to save the hostages. He had been published in the newspapers, who doesn't know him?"
Only then did Chen Zikun realize that the emperor was trying to make fun of himself.
Xuan Tong was obviously very interested in Chen Zikun's martial arts. He said that his guard commander was a martial Jinshi in the 28th year of Guangxu. He was proficient in Shaolin Wudang Kung Fu and was the first in the country. Such a master actually tied with Chen Zikun, which shows how high Chen Zikun's kung fu was.
"Chen Zikun, I ask you, who are you studying?" the emperor asked with interest.
"My teacher is very diverse, including the mysterious fist of Jingwumen, the leg skills of Foshan Baozhilin, the Wudang sword technique, the golden bell cover of the outer sect, etc.." Chen Zikun talked happily, and the emperor was flirting with a look of grace. While listening, he asked the guards to introduce it from the side.
After chatting for a while, the eunuch whispered in the emperor's ear, and the emperor said, "Transfer, I want to invite friends from the world in Shufangzhai."
The eunuchs and palace maids did not dare to neglect and immediately took action. A quarter of an hour later, an imperial banquet was set up in Shufangzhai. When everyone saw it, they were all stunned.
The so-called imperial banquet is a dish made of pork and mutton. Not only is the color of the flowers and colors, but it is still cold and tastes like wood chips. However, it was also given by the emperor. Everyone cheered up and ate it hard.
After the banquet, the emperor yawned, and the eunuch waved his whisk: "Let me kneel down and rest."
Some of the young men knelt down, some bowed, and left Shufangzhai. The guards led them out of Shenwu Gate and got into the car. They were so excited that they could sit with the emperor for dinner. If they said this, no one would believe it.
"It's too early to go back now?" Yao Yilei said.
Xiao Shunzi said: "Miss Yao, where do you think you want to go? Six Kingdoms Hotel?"
"I'm tired of playing at Liuguo Hotel. Let's go to the Beijing Hotel and I'll treat you."
"Okay!" The young men were very playful and agreed to pass unanimously, and Chen Zikun could only obey the majority.
The car drove to the entrance of the Beijing hotel. The waiter was surprised to see five guys in ragged clothes coming out of the car. He was about to come forward to scold him. A charming girl came out of the driver's seat and raised her hand to see a big bill: "Look at my lady's car."
"Okay, please come here." The waiter nodded and bowed immediately.
Miss Yao brought a bunch of local buns, held her head and chest out into the dance hall of the Beijing Hotel, found a seat to sit down, and the waiter presented a drink list, full of foreign words. Miss Yao said without looking at it, "Put a bottle of champagne for me."
The waiter was secretly surprised. The price of champagne is not cheap. Did you meet someone who drank the king wine? While hesitating, the dance hall manager came over. He saw Yao Yilei and hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him warmly: "Miss Yao, what wind has blown you? You are a rare guest."
He scolded the waiter again, "What are you doing while standing there? Why don't you go and serve the wine quickly?"
The waiters then realized that it was a real distinguished guest who had arrived and hurriedly brought various wine and snacks. The sterling silver ice bucket was filled with champagne imported from France, a thin layer of dewdrops on the bottle, and a wide range of Western pastries. The taste was much better than the cakes, malt sugar, candied haws and other items sold at the entrance of the alley. The lights on the dance floor hit everyone, making them bizarre.
On the dance floor, red men and green women were dancing gracefully, men’s suits and ties, women’s long skirts were floating. The teenagers looked at the torn Chinese short fights and tearing on their bodies, and they all felt ashamed.
"Xiao Shunzi, I finally know that you have to work at the Six Kingdoms Hotel no matter what you say." Xue Baoqing murmured, this scene completely shocked him.
Xiao Shunzi's eyes flashed with hope: "This is life. If you can do this for the rest of your life, you will be willing to live ten years less."
"Gentlemen, toast to celebrate our victory." Yao Yilei raised her champagne glass, and the teenagers also clumsily picked up the wine glasses, and six wine glasses met together.
"Beggar's silk."
"Dry!"
After drinking, I smacked my lips: "This champagne is so delicious, sweet and has bubbles."
"Well, it's delicious, but it's not strong enough."
Yao Yilei smiled proudly: "I want something energetic, right?" She snapped her fingers and the waiter immediately came over.
“Five cups of double whiskey.”
Just as the waiter was about to leave, Yao Yilei said, "Before you finished speaking, vodka, rum, juniper beans, brandy, five cups each."
In a short while, a team of waiters came with wine. The young men took turns to taste various strong wines, and they were dizzy and confused.
In a trance, a man in suit came to pull Yao Yilei's hand, but Miss Yao slapped it away. Before Chen Zikun could do it, Xiao Shunzi, who had drunken big, waved the bottle and pounced on him, and a bottle hit the other person's head.
A melee began, and four or five people were beaten up. More than a dozen people fought in the dance hall, but the band was still in trouble and played the fast-paced Spanish magat fighter dance. The sound of glass breaking, cursing, women screaming, and musical sounds mixed together to form a unique symphony.
Chen Zikun and others had just defeated the big guard. When they were full of energy and full of spirit, a few men in suits were not a problem and soon they were all down to the ground. Five men and one woman escaped from the dance hall and stumbled in the parking lot, laughing happily.
After climbing onto the car, Yao Yilei started the car and drove away in a crooked manner. Fortunately, there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road in Beijing at night, otherwise something would have to happen.
Back at the Ziguang Car Factory, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. Yao Yilei was already drunk. Chen Zikun helped her to the door of the west wing and pushed the door in. Yao Yilei suddenly rushed over and closed his mouth viciously.
The sweet taste is the same as champagne.
