mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 281

Li Wanyong and Mrs. Ren hurried into the sedan chair, the carriage with luggage in front and the sedan chair behind, and they left the Li family compound together.

However, after going out, the butler took out a retractable binoculars and looked into the distance.

I don't know that he carries this thing with him, and usually uses it for watching.

But after watching it, he panicked and shouted: "No, hurry up, those people are chasing you."

It turned out that they had delayed for too long, and the people who were demonstrating had already arrived at most two or three miles away.

Li Wanyong heard the housekeeper's words, raised the car curtain and glanced into the distance, his face turned pale with shock.

"Go, go, I'll add money to you, let's run."

Daehan's sedan chair is very unique, with a single wheel underneath.

The sedan chairs of military officials are "open", and the sedan chairs of civilian officials will be covered with curtains, especially the sedan chairs of family members.

With wheels, it is much easier for bearers.After hearing this, the two people hurriedly quickened their pace, and the sedan chair was lifted up quickly.

Li Wanyong asked the housekeeper again: "Why haven't the guards escorted by Mori Taijiro come yet?"

The butler shrank his eyes from Ren's car curtain, and said in a deep voice, "Master, they should be on their way and will arrive soon."

Later, led by Li Xiuji, the parade people came aggressively with their thirst for power and excitement of violence.

For them at this time, patriotism is more than just patriotism. They feel the refreshment of rebelling against the rules, and experience the thrill of using brute force to make a more powerful opponent tremble.

There is still a certain difference between this and the thugs in the Japanese population.

At least for now they're just chasing something as a drive that numbs them to the fear of the future.

The thugs, on the other hand, ignored all rules and carried out indiscriminate destruction.

Apparently they just hated the Japanese and everything about the Japanese at this point.

And Li Xiuji's mood is more complicated, if the people behind him are Yagami, he is the leader.

He was at the forefront, but he was also the representative of this force.

When you are happy, you also bear everyone's fear.

People are not afraid because Li Xiuji takes the lead, but Li Xiuji takes the lead also means that he has to bear all the responsibilities.

The only thing that reassured him a little was Zhao Chuanxin who was hanging unhurriedly not far away.

This god of war is his confidence.

Suddenly Zhao Chuanxin took two quick steps, and reminded Li Xiuji behind: "A group of people ran southward at the door of Li Wanyong's house. Maybe it was Li Wanyong. If you don't chase them, you will not be able to catch up."

After all, not everyone has Zhao Chuanxin's devil crystal glasses, and they can't see clearly from a little distance.

Li Xiuji looked around briefly, raised his hand quickly, turned around and shouted to the people behind: "Li Wanyong is about to run, let's catch up."

It was really a response, and the restless people in the parade behind had thousands of horses roaring in their hearts, shouting: "Catch him up and kill him!"

Seeing this, Li Xiuji adjusted his glasses and started running.

Maybe let these people practice long-distance running, they will not be able to hold on for a long time after running, like fish out of water, their brains will be blank due to lack of oxygen.

But at this time, they ran straight for a mile and a half and were still in high spirits.

It's like telling a small citizen that if you run, you will be rewarded with 10 yuan. This is easy, and you can stick to it.But if it is said to make money in sales, let them plunge into unfamiliar fields to make a living, most of them are unwilling.

These parade people only know to catch up, and if they catch up, they will win.As for what to do after catching up, isn't there Mr. Li?
The only one who looked bitter was Zhao Chuanxin.

He was out of breath: "Damn grass, those people can run so fast while carrying the sedan chair, what kind of beasts!"

When Li Xiuji heard this, although he was sweating profusely, he mustered up his energy again and shouted: "Li Wan will walk in a sedan chair, he will not be faster than us, everyone should work harder to catch up."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

The sun is directly overhead and it is the strongest time of the day.

Zhao Chuanxin helped his hat to avoid being blown away by the wind.

"You guys run first, I'll rest for a while, I can't run anymore."

It might be because he was panting badly, but Li Xiuji didn't hear it, and ran away quickly with the others.

One after another, people passed by Zhao Chuanxin, who was panting on his knees, and from time to time someone cast contemptuous glances at him: Xiao Mian, did you think you were so powerful, just this little combat power?
In fact, Zhao Chuanxin's limit is far from this, but he lacks the enthusiasm of these people.

Even if Li Wanyong is allowed to run away today, he can still catch up to Wenyang. If he can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple.

When he recovered his breath, the people in front had already run a mile away.

There is also a reason why Zhao Chuanxin chose this moment to do things.

Now the Korean people are very emotional when they arrive in Japan, but after two or three years, the anger will gradually smooth out, and at that time, the voice of "unity" with Japan will become louder.

It will be too late to do anything at that time.

He has to let the anti-Japanese sentiment > Hebang voice, and keep the balance tilted down.

So after resting for a while, I hurried to catch up again.

No matter how strong Li Wan's bearer is, after all, if he wants to push the sedan chair and run, it is impossible to run past the unburdened people.

So, slowly being chased up.

The angry people surrounded all the carriages and sedan chairs.

"The dog thief Li Wanyong, let's see where you are going."

"Dog, let me chase after you!"

At this time, no matter whether it was the parade people or Li Wanyong's group, they had reached the end of their battles, panting like a bellows.

The people were excited, but Li Wanyong and others looked ashamed.

A few people face thousands of people, anyone would be scared.

The people in the parade were waiting for further action, when the butler said pleasantly: "You gangsters, the Japanese army is here, and here is something to look out for you."

It turned out that there was a group of Japanese soldiers in the east, pulling ammunition in a carriage, and four machine guns had already arrived.

That posture was like going to the battlefield, which made the people present shudder.

Immediately, everyone dared not move.

Li Xiuji couldn't help becoming nervous when he saw the Japanese soldiers pushing the wheeled cannon with no expression on their faces.

He subconsciously touched his waist, and there was a mirror box pistol given by Zhao Chuanxin.

But with the pistol facing the cannon, he didn't feel the slightest sense of security.

Looking around again, he was shocked because he couldn't find Zhao Chuanxin...

The Bao-type machine gun was developed by the Japanese after they discovered the role of the heavy machine gun on the battlefield, imitating the French Hotchkiss heavy machine gun.

In terms of design, there is not much difference, except that the five air-cooled heat sinks of the Hotchkiss heavy machine gun have been changed to seven.

Divided into two types, one is a tripod cannon.

At that time, in the Seoul Grand Hotel, this was what was used to deal with Zhao Chuanxin.

The other is a wheeled cannon, usually for cavalry.

But today the incident happened suddenly, and the Japanese army also equipped these infantry with wheeled cannons.

The Japanese pay more attention to machine guns, and do not use cheap but unreliable canvas ammunition chains at all, and directly use metal feed plates.

Those common people saw the heavy cannon, but this time their faces turned ashen, and they didn't dare to move at all.

The housekeeper jumped up aggressively, gesticulating and pointing at the people surrounding them: "You rascals, keep making trouble? Keep barking? Why did it stop? Do you want to touch our lord?"

At this time, Li Wanyong on the sedan chair also regained his confidence.

He Shi Shiran got off the sedan chair, put his hands behind his back, and his face regained his majesty.

He lingered for a week, coughed and said, "I am the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Li Wanyong, what do you want to do today?"

No one dared to answer.

Li Wanyong smiled complacently: "I don't blame you, I must have been instigated by villains. Presumably, it has nothing to do with Zhao Chuanxin, who is praised by others as the God of War. This thief opened a bad one." The atmosphere makes everyone think that violence is the way to resolve disputes. This is not good! This is wrong!"

Li Xiuji in the crowd's eyelids jumped when he heard it. He had already touched the mirror box, and the impulsiveness came again, especially when he heard Li Wan slander Zhao Chuanxin and slander Zhao Chuanxin with big words, he couldn't control it. Got angry.

Seeing the silence of the people around, Li Wanyong smiled contemptuously: "You can look at Japan, they are strong and powerful, but can you unarmed people resist? A mere Zhao Chuanxin can give you the courage to besiege Tangtang The Prime Minister of the Cabinet? Zhao Chuanxin is just a grassroots bandit, do you really regard him as hope?"

There was some commotion among the people.

I don't know whether to think it's reasonable, or feel angry.

Li Wanyong continued: "Today, I am warning you not to follow the example of the thief Zhao Chuanxin. I am also doing this for the good of this country, and I have absolutely no selfish intentions! In the future, I hope you can understand the truth and know right from wrong!"

He stood with his hands behind his back, his back straight, his head held high when speaking, and he was full of energy.

He also has the dignity and momentum that a prime minister of the cabinet should have when facing the people at the bottom.

Li Xiuji couldn't hold back any longer, he drew out his gun and went to divide the crowd, ready to give Li Wan a few shots and shoot him dead on the spot.

At this moment, someone grabbed his arm panting, "What are you doing?"

Li Xiuji turned his head to look, and it turned out that Zhao Chuanxin, who had disappeared, appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Zhao, you..."

Zhao Chuanxin was out of breath: "Grass, you dogs run really fast, let me chase them easily."

This sounds familiar.

Li Xiuji couldn't laugh or cry.

He was also worried about what happened to Zhao Chuanxin, it turned out that he just couldn't keep up with the big army.

This god of war made him more and more incomprehensible.

Zhao Chuanxin took a breath, and glanced at Li Wanyong who was standing with his hands behind his back and talking eloquently.

He hey laughed.

Li Xiuji was angry at Li Wanyong's outrageous words. Seeing Zhao Chuanxin laughing, he was puzzled and said, "Mr. Zhao, why are you still laughing at this time? Then Li Wanyong called you a thief."

"Do you seem stupid?" Zhao Chuanxin looked at Li Xiuji like a fool: "He scolded me a few times, can I lose a piece of meat? He scolds as much as he likes."

I am Cao.

Li Xiuji really felt stupid.

Looking at the kindness of the owner, it is really beyond his reach.

Zhao Chuanxin whispered a few words in his ear, then blinked: "Okay, it's your turn!"

Li Xiuji frowned: "If that's all, wouldn't it be cheaper for this bastard?"

"You just listen to me and it's over, you're right. In today's battle, you, Li Xiuji, will be famous on the peninsula! Isn't it a matter of course to win volunteers in the future?"

"Then let me try?"

"Try a fart, try your best. If you don't have enough acting skills, I'll fuck you to death later!"

This reminded Li Xiuji of giving public speeches before, it felt really good.

So, he pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.

Li Wanyong was scolding vigorously when he was talking, when he suddenly saw a young man wearing glasses coming out, he couldn't help but get nervous.

He turned his gaze to the Japanese army.

Although Ito Hirobumi's secretary Mori Taijiro is only a clerical position, today he came to the scene with the Japanese army to preside over the overall situation.

Because it is related to Li Wanyong, the arrival of Mori Taijiro means that the Supervisory Office attaches great importance to Li Wanyong.

Seeing Li Wanyong looking at him, Mori Taijiro nodded affirmatively, and ordered the Japanese soldiers to step forward and point their guns at the common people and Li Xiuji.

Li Xiuji felt his scalp tingling, but he gritted his teeth and withstood the pressure of facing life and death.

Hiding between two Japanese soldiers, Mori Taijiro asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Li Xiuji's cheeks trembled, and he ignored him, but turned around and shouted to the people: "Everyone, listen to me."

"Mr. Li, please tell me."

"Yes, we will do what you say."

When the common people faced the heavy guns of the Japanese army, Li Xiuji was able to stand calmly at the forefront and withstand the pressure for everyone.

Some people's eye circles are red.

This is the true patriot!

Li Xiuji raised his hand: "There are powerful enemies outside, and national thieves inside. This is the time of life and death in Korea. The rise and fall of the country is everyone's responsibility. Today I wanted to catch Li Wanyong and let everyone interrogate this public enemy. However, the Japanese army loaded their guns with live ammunition , as if treating this place as a battle formation, I am afraid they will be shot down. I, Li Xiuji, really don’t want to see everyone die here.”

Someone was infected by Li Xiuji's deepness, and impulsively said: "Mr. Li, as long as you are not afraid of death, I, Kim Jae-woo, dare to swear to the sky that I will advance and retreat with you!"

"Yes, I, Jiang Mingsheng, will advance and retreat with you in my real name!"

"Death is death, what are you afraid of?"

Li Xiuji, who was originally good at acting, really got into the drama after hearing the words.

His eyes were red, and tears couldn't help but flow down.

The veins on his forehead jumped straight, and he almost jumped up and drew his gun to shoot Li Wanyong directly.

He tried his best to resist this impulse, and said according to Zhao Chuanxin's instructions: "Everyone, everyone is mortal, but it should not be taken lightly. Even if we can't have a public trial of Li Wanyong today, we will definitely not make it easier for this thief in the future."

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a dagger.

This dagger was given to him by Zhao Chuanxin, and it was captured by Zhao Chuanxin when he killed the US Navy spy.

Seeing Li Xiuji took out his dagger, several Japanese soldiers pointed their guns at him.

Li Wanyong was even more taken aback, and couldn't help taking a step back, almost tripping and making a fool of himself.

This made him angry and shouted: "What do you want to do? Do you think you can assassinate me in front of the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire with a dagger?"

In the original history, Li Xiuji really took the dagger and used it twice with Li Wan.

A knife to the waist, a knife to the shoulder.

It's a pity that this guy was so fateful that he didn't die.

But now, Li Xiuji is not trying to assassinate Li Wanyong.

He raised the knife in his right hand, and cut open the palm of his left hand, and the bright red blood flowed.

Everyone was stunned.

They all thought they were going to assassinate Li Wanyong, so why did they self-mutilate?

Especially Li Wanyong, first felt the pain of empathy, and then was inexplicable.

Over there, Mori Taijiro also heaved a sigh of relief.

It turned out that it was just self-harm, which is easy to say.

Just listen to Li Xiuji's impassioned words: "Today, Li swears to the heavens that he will take restoring national sovereignty as his mission and defending the territory of Korea as his mission!"

Everyone suddenly realized that they were expressing their determination.

The parade people were moved.

This is a blood oath, which represents a person's determination.

Li Wanyong and Mori Taijiro don't care if they are determined or not, but the common people care.

Li Xiuji's knife fell to the ground with a clang, and then turned around suddenly.

This was also explained by Zhao Chuanxin, because this can dispel the doubts of the Japanese army, otherwise it would not be worthwhile to be shot and killed if they were misunderstood.

After Li Xiuji turned around, he pointed at Li Wanyong and said loudly: "Li Wanyong, the dog thief. If God has eyes, fulfilled Li's oath, can gain something in the future, and thinks that the sovereignty of Korea can be restored, then , God, please kill this national traitor with a strike of lightning today!"

Mori Taijiro wanted to laugh.

Are you fucking sick?

God has eyes?

Have you read too many ghost novels?

Even the parade people thought it was a bit of a joke.

Although the idea is good, if the heavens have eyes, the Japanese and Li Wanyong would have died long ago, so can they still dominate the territory of Korea?
Li Xiuji also said it bravely.

After finishing speaking, as expected, the sky is clear and the sun is high. Where did the thunder come from?
He couldn't help but bite the bullet and threw his injured left hand to the sky.

Under the sun, strings of bright blood droplets were thrown into the air.

Illuminated by the sun, it is as bright and clear as a fleshy southern red agate.

He shouted: "If God has eyes, if you think Li Xiuji can verify the oath, please kill Li Wanyong!"

Li Wanyong finally broke the defense, he laughed out loud: "Do you really think you are right? It seems that even God thinks you are wrong."

Li Xiuji's face turned pale.

I don't know whether it's bloodshed, or it's because of shame.

He sighed secretly, feeling ashamed today.

In the distance, Zhao Chuanxin urged the Azure Phantom Armor to climb up a big tree.

He said to himself: "Hehe, don't worry, Xiao Li, the forward swing of the ultimate move usually takes a long time."

As he spoke, he stood up straight on the tree branch.

He stretched out his hand, and a ball of lightning condensed in his palm.

When the lightning ball condensed enough, he aimed at Li Wanyong who was in the distance and gently pushed it away.

The speed of the ball lightning was not particularly fast, but it drifted towards Li Wanyong firmly and steadily.

Li Wan, who was surrounded by the people in the middle, tossed his sleeves and said, "Huh, nonsense! If the people of the country are like you, who eat enough all day and have nothing to do, and only know to swear to God, then Daehan really has no hope forever. .”

He was about to get back into the sedan chair, but suddenly he felt his hair stand on end.

Especially the fine hair on the back of the hands, it is almost straighter than soldiers in military training.

How is this going?

Suddenly he heard the exclamation of the people around him again, so his heart skipped a beat.

The first thing that comes to mind is that maybe Li Xiuji is really planning to assassinate him in front of the Japanese army out of embarrassment.

But after thinking about it, that's not right.

Because he saw Sen Taijiro in the distance also showing panic, but the Japanese soldier didn't intend to shoot.

This……

Li Wanyong turned his head following their gaze.

Suddenly, he saw a huge electric ball drifting towards him from a distance.

Li Wanyong wanted to hide, but when he moved, the electric ball changed its trajectory slightly.

It looked unpleasant, but it came to the front in a blink of an eye.

Finally, with a huge exclamation from everyone, Dianqiu and Li Wanyong collided head-on!
