The troops brought by Yuan Shikai were not only in strict formation, but also had some muskets and bows. There were only twenty-three people and one carriage on their side, so it was very unrealistic to break in by force.
Wang Wu looked ferocious, gritting his teeth and preparing to rush forward. He wanted to question the traitor Yuan Shikai, but he still had the nerve to arrest Tan Sitong?
"Brother Wang, please don't act rashly. I'd better go meet Yuan Shikai for a while!"
Lei Hu suddenly spoke. He strolled to Yuan Shikai and his party and stood two hundred meters away. He said calmly: "Brother Yuan, what are you doing?"
But I sighed repeatedly in my heart, Yuan Shikai was worthy of being a hero in the late Qing Dynasty!
For the sake of power, he did not hesitate to directly abandon Emperor Guangxu and his sworn brothers. Such a feat is really not something ordinary people can do.
He was not afraid that Yuan Shikai would suddenly turn against him, as the distance of two hundred meters was safe enough.
With his strength, even if Yuan Shikai's men pulled out muskets, he would be able to get out of the way in time and not give the opponent a chance to lock down.
Grandmaster Huajin is so awesome, as long as he is not in a desperate situation, his ability to survive is too terrifying.
Seeing Lei Hu come forward, Yuan Shikai's eyes flashed with fear, he laughed and said naturally: "It turns out to be Brother Lei, I just met an acquaintance here and said hello!"
As he said that, he glanced at Wang Wu in the distance and the tightly covered carriage with complex eyes, waved his hand and ordered: "Let's change lanes!"
With that said, he turned his horse's head and left first, without being sloppy at all.
Watching Yuan Shikai and his entourage leave, Lei Hu returned to the carriage in an inexplicable mood. He smiled at the gloomy Wang Wu and said, "It's okay. Yuan is an authentic member of the officialdom. Why should Brother Wang care?"
Wang Wu gritted his teeth and said: "This guy is nothing. If he hadn't turned against him in the face of battle..."
"so what?"
Before he could finish his words, Lei Hu asked unceremoniously: "The new recruits from the small station are far away in Jinmen. It's hard to say whether Yuan can mobilize them. Yuan has fought hard for power. He will have no room for maneuver in the future. Once
If Guangxu regains power, he will die without a burial place!"
Why……
A long sigh came from the carriage.
The situation just now was quite dangerous. If Yuan Shikai was more shameless and led his troops to attack directly, although Lei Hu was confident that he could lead his men to escape safely, at least half of his elite militiamen would be lost.
Fortunately, Yuan Shikai did not do too much, otherwise Lei Hu will definitely make him look good in the future. Whether he can safely sit on the throne of direct governor is a matter of two things. Just think about the fact that he will be attacked and killed by a Huajin master at any time.
No matter who it is, it will send chills down the spine and tremble with fear.
Having learned their lesson, Lei Hu and his party were much more careful after they were on the road again. They sent out several elite militiamen to spread out for five miles to keep a vigil. Then they arrived at Jinmen a few days later without any danger.
On the way, they either encountered officers and soldiers setting up checkpoints, were either lured away by elite militiamen with black guns, or were easily avoided by taking a detour.
After Tan Sitong fully recovered, he put on some disguises, and the group's movement speed and concealment were greatly improved. In addition, the backbone of the reformers who fled in all directions attracted firepower, and they easily entered Jinmen.
Jinmen is a complex place with foreign concessions and even military garrisons. The situation is more complicated than in the capital. As long as Tan Sitong does not make any publicity, it is not difficult to hide for a period of time.
If it really doesn't work, it wouldn't be a big hassle to just spend some money and leave directly on a foreign passenger ship.
…
"There's something wrong with the atmosphere here in Jinmen!"
After all, he had suffered a major blow and had the experience of betrayal by a friend. Although Tan Sitong looked calm on the surface, he was actually quite sensitive in his heart. He quickly noticed something was wrong after arriving in the Jinmen area.
The atmosphere here is quite lively, with men wearing red scarves hanging around from time to time. What is even more surprising is that there must be a new altar built every few miles.
Many people gathered around the altar with enthusiastic faces. On the altar, men wearing red scarves were also doing the same thing. They used all kinds of weird tricks, which made the unsophisticated people watching even more crazy, and the scene became lively.
pole.
Such a fiery atmosphere is extremely unusual. It has only been less than fifty years since the bandit rebellion broke out, and the imperial court has always been rude to these pretenders.
But now, there are Buddhist altars everywhere in Jinmen, but the local government and the garrison have done nothing. Obviously the situation is very strange, and it is definitely not a normal phenomenon.
"This is the hand of Boxing Boxing?"
Lei Hu also noticed something was wrong, and combined with a certain major event that happened in history, as well as the costumes of these red-turbaned men, and the methods of setting up altars to pretend to be gods and ghosts, he immediately reacted and directly named them.
"He is indeed a friend of Boxing Boxing!"
Wang Wu nodded in affirmation, with undisguised joy on his face. From time to time, he shouted hello to the Yihequan brother who was doing the magic on the altar, eliciting a burst of "Wang Daxia" echoes.
This guy is indeed a famous hero in Beijing, Tianjin and outside the country. He has met and made countless friends in the world. He actually knows the Yihequan brothers who practice in the magic altar. There are also a few who are close to each other just by looking at their expressions. He is really a person.
Amazing guy.
"It's better not to show off, and find a safe place to stay first!"
Seeing that Wang Wu's mind was wandering, he was obviously attracted by the hot atmosphere of Jinmen, and he was a little eager to try. Lei Hu hurriedly interrupted the guy's shouting and spoke quietly.
"Are you going to the concession or somewhere nearby?"
Wang Wu put away the warm smile on his face and turned to look at Tan Sitong: "Brother Tan, what do you think?"
"Just find a place, as long as it's hidden, you'll be safe!"
Tan Sitong made a quick decision: "Looking at the current situation in Jinmen, I'm afraid the government has no energy and no time to pay attention to me, a wanted criminal!"
This is true. When entering the city, the group of swaggering people did not cover up at all. As a result, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate did not respond at all. There was a wanted list posted on the city wall, but I don’t know who painted the portrait on it. It was simply
Even Tan Sitong himself didn't recognize the person in the portrait, let alone the others.
After entering the city, Wang Wu still ran around and quickly found a quiet little courtyard next to the main street to stay. He was not so blatant as to stay in an inn. He really couldn't treat the officers and soldiers as fools.
"Master Hu, are you Master Hu?"
After a lot of trouble and arrangement, Lei Hu and his party did not stay in the yard, but walked out to the street to check the situation. Suddenly, a loud voice full of surprise came into his ears. Lei Hu felt inexplicably familiar. When he looked back, a smile appeared on his face, but
Isn't it just that I met an acquaintance?
"Brother Divine Whip, it turns out to be you!"
Lei Hu smiled and said hello, and saw Divine Whip Silly Er striding over with joy on his face...
