Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 70 Summer Palace

"If we leave, what will happen to the Bai family and the Gong family?"

Jiu'er couldn't help but say it.

Lu Heng sighed: "The only thing to worry about right now is this. And most of the worries fall on Yuan Gongbao."

Lu Heng knew very well that once he slaughtered the old witch, and at the turn of the century, the Manchus would be powerless to do anything about this situation.

Even if he knew that Lu Heng had slaughtered the old witch, he couldn't help Lu Heng.

This matter will definitely fall on Yuan Gongbao in the future.

But for the Bai family and the Gong family, Lu Heng had nothing to do.The roots of the Bai family are in the capital, and the roots of the Gong family are in the northeast.These two are not Lu Heng, you can just leave.

"It's not a big problem." Lu Heng paused: "The collapse of the Manchu Qing is imminent. After this, the Manchu Qing will be unable to do anything. Yuan Gongbao is bound to rise. Unless Yuan Gongbao wants to deal with me, the Bai family and the Gong family will not be able to do anything. There will be trouble."

Gong Lan said: "The head of the family is Yuan Gongbao inside and out. He is only a mere governor of Shandong, but the imperial court has collapsed. Can he rise?"

Lu Heng laughed: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty has long been rotten to the extreme. There seems to be a lot of troops in this huge north, but the only ones who can really rely on it are the new troops trained by Yuan Gongbao. Look at it, when the situation recedes this time, you will You know, after the Qing Dynasty, it must be Yuan Gongbao."

Then he said: "The Bai family and the Gong family probably don't need to worry too much. At least there will be no problems for a long time. When we settle down in the south, if there is a problem, it will be convenient for them to go south."

Times will naturally get worse.But as far as the problems involved in Lu Heng's body are concerned, there is a high probability that the Gong family and the Bai family will not be affected.Lu Heng had considered this.

He said: "I will tell your father and the Bai family when I go to the south. I can decide our family's affairs, and their affairs are up to their own choices."

In the following days, the family has been preparing for Gong Lan to go south.It is determined that the stone will follow south. As for recruiting a few guards, it finally falls on the Sifang Garden, and plans to choose a few well-known companions from the Sifang Garden.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Gong Lan stayed for a few more days. On the eighteenth day, Lu Heng sent her out, all the way to Tianjin.Always put her on board.

Before boarding the boat, Lu Heng also instructed her: "If there is something important, send a telegram. The world is becoming more and more chaotic, and it is more inconvenient to communicate with letters. However, it is also a little troublesome to send telegrams. There is a telegraph office in Songjiang and Jinling, but they are not. close."

After reminding Shishi again, Lu Heng didn't turn around until he watched their ship disappear in the sea and the sky.

Back to the capital, is the fourth day.

First go to Bai's house for a turn, then turn around and go to Sifang Garden.

The Sifang Garden is very lively, and its fame has already started. In the capital, this garden is already a first-class grade.Various dignitaries come and go.

Well-informed, needless to say.

Jiu'er was dressed in a flag uniform and looked graceful and graceful. Compared with the rustic look when she first came to the capital, it was a world of difference.

Seeing her skillful communication with people and her calm demeanor, she seemed like a lady.

Of course, Jiu'er is mainly in charge of the finances of the Sifang Garden, and it is not easy to show up.It is mostly Bai Sanye's job to entertain guests.The third master Bai is very happy.

However, Jiu'er also had a name for the public. She chose it herself, although it was still a bit dirty - it was called Juxian.

At Sifang Garden, Lu Heng turned around and was about to leave.Jin Quan came over and chatted with him.

Yuan Gongbao's staff, after Yuan Gongbao's appointment to Shandong, would come to Sifang Garden every day.As long as you look at Lu Heng, you need to talk more or less.

After dealing with it for a while, Lu Heng left.

When he returned home, he wrote a letter.It was for Miyaheda.Mainly to inform Gong Lan about going south to western Jiangxi.

He also asked Fengtian if there was a telegraph office, and if so, they would telegraph in the future.

Seeing that there is still time, it is not evening.Lu Heng took a letter and went to Cheng Tinghua.

If you just ask someone to bring a letter, it will be difficult to arrive in a month or two as before.

The reason for looking for Cheng Tinghua was that the letter from Gong Haneda could reach Cheng Tinghua in a short period of time, indicating that they had a faster communication channel.

When I got to the Huo Temple, I found Cheng Tinghua and talked about it. He said straight: "It's easy to do. I have a friend who goes to the northeast for darts, and it can be communicated in ten days at most."

It's really quick.

"Please help my uncle." Lu Heng said, "Gong Lan went to the south, and I will tell my husband-in-law the news so that he won't worry."

Cheng Tinghua said in surprise, "Going to the south?"

Lu Heng nodded.

After chatting for a while, he left.

Sifang Garden has Third Master Bai and Jiu'er watching, Gong Lan has also gone south, and the home is usually quite deserted.Apart from practicing martial arts, eating and drinking, Lu Heng rarely goes out every day.

Even when he went out, he also went to Baiyun to see Gao Tongyuan.

Every time there are gains, more or less.

For example, Lu Heng had already learned from him that Cixi would move to the Summer Palace in two days.

It's almost the end of the month.

That night, when Jiu'er fell asleep, Lu Heng quietly got up and changed into night clothes.That is, go out and head towards the Summer Palace.

In the past few months, Lu Heng had a thorough understanding of the capital's geography.Of course, it is only a place that ordinary people can reach.Like the Forbidden Palace and the inside of the Summer Palace, those places are not well understood.

Knowing that the old witch will be moved to the Summer Palace in two days, Lu Heng planned to enter the Summer Palace two nights in advance and take a look at the layout inside.

Outside the Summer Palace, Lu Heng found that the guards of the Summer Palace were much tighter than when he passed by.It is reasonable to think about it. The old witch will be moved to the Summer Palace. Naturally, she must do a good job of escorting and eliminate potential safety hazards in advance.

But it is not difficult to enter the Summer Palace, at least Lu Heng.

Not to mention climbing over the wall and the like, even sneaking in through the water gate of Xiuyi Bridge is also easy.

The weather is very cold at this time, and although Lu Heng has long been immune to the cold and heat, he doesn't like diving very much.He chose a dead corner and climbed over the wall.

The Summer Palace is very large, with an area of ​​two or three hundred hectares.Among them, Kunming Lake accounts for the majority.

Some pavilions are built around Kunming Lake.

At this time, late at night, Lu Heng was looking forward to walking on the bluestone road by the lake.The night could not block his eyesight, and although there was a gap between it and the day, it was not big.

What kind of buildings and layouts are there, Lu Heng secretly remembered them in his heart.

There are lanterns coming from a distance, and several eunuchs are talking.

Lu Heng hid himself in a tree by the roadside.

Several eunuchs passed under the tree, talking.

". This day, when is the boss?"

".do not know."

". Ordinarily, Lord Lafayette is true. Lord Long Live has been living here for a few months, and he hasn't said a word."

"Shut up! About the matter of Lafayette and Long Live, we slaves have the share of talking? Dare to talk about it, don't want to live anymore?"

Silence again.

Lu Heng heard this, but was faintly surprised.

I couldn't help but look up and look through the branches to the courtyard not far away.

"Guangxu is imprisoned here?"

After the failure of the Restoration, Guangxu disappeared, and heard that he was imprisoned by the old witch.I did not expect to be imprisoned in the Summer Palace.

After a few eunuchs left, Lu Heng jumped down and went to the courtyard, only to see a plaque 'Yu Lan Tang' on it.
