595 Undercover Qiu Wei
The heavy rain that swept across Beizhili finally gradually became lighter, and the silky drizzle replaced the previous torrential explosion, and even the clouds in the sky became thinner, revealing wisps of sunlight in the gaps.
It was only at this time that the carrier pigeon hiding in the tree hole, in the haystack, and under the eaves of the ancient temple shook its feathers and flew into the sky towards the destination of its memory.
In the southern part of Beijing, in a commercial area near Chongwenmen, there is a small shop called Qiujiayang Goods Store, which is not big and not too conspicuous, hidden in a deep alley, and ordinary people really can't find it.
In this year, foreign goods have begun to be popularized in the Qing Dynasty, such as table clocks, pocket watches, hand-held horse lamps, and goose down...... Even kerosene, nails, matches, and the like are sold in this small foreign goods store.
The business is not very good, but it can be maintained, and the boss surnamed Qiu has a very good life, at least the left neighbor and the right hand can see the young boss carrying a few pieces of meat home every three or five days.
Today's heavy rainstorm weather, the foreign goods store is not idle, the boss only removed a door panel, said that the door is not open, said that he closed he is still open business, in fact, it is to buy matches and foreign oil for the neighbors to leave a seam, the boss also knows that there is no big deal today.
But it is also strange to say, when the heavy rain gradually subsides, the sound of horses' hooves trampling on stagnant water is heard at the mouth of the alley, and people can imagine how fast the horses are when they listen to the rhythm.
The owner of the foreign goods store hid back unnaturally, and the right half of his body was hidden behind the door panel, and a pair of vigilant eyes looked out.
The war horse screamed, and the knight turned over and dismounted and jumped at the door of the foreign goods store, "Boss, do you have a good horse lantern?"
"Yes, yes...... Imported British horse lanterns, glass translucent material is enough, you scrub and wash diligently to ensure that you can pass on to your grandchildren can use ......"
"The British goods are very good, and the French goods are okay, I heard that the Prussian things are the best, and the boss has the goods?"
When the boss surnamed Qiu heard the code, he actually got right, his eyes narrowed, and his heart tightened, "Prussia is precious, a horse lantern is a hundred oceans......"
"Why is it so expensive? 120 yuan is not sold..."
"Bought it, the old guest invited a ...... in the house" The code words were all right, and the boss hurriedly bowed down and invited the guest to enter the door.
The big man who walked in was wearing a hat on his head, and a little ruthlessness in his eyes was revealed from time to time.
"Qiu Wei, right? Xiao Letian's torture hall sat and visited...... Don't do it, I know you have a gun in your hand, although I am not from the same faction as you, but I am sending you information today, just an hour and a half ago, Xiao Letian used the strange heavenly fire to defeat the Huai Army and the Eight Banners Alliance, and now the soldiers are coming straight to Beijing......"
"If I'm not mistaken, in two hours the walls of Beijing will be able to see the front of the new army..."
Qiu Wei's face changed drastically: "What you said is true? Why should I believe you? Whose subordinate are you?"
The big man smiled bitterly, "I'm still your enemy, I'm a fine ...... that the Huai army planted in the capital" Before he finished speaking, Qiu Wei shot his hand like lightning, and put a Colt revolver on his head.
"Don't move, you'd better be honest, no matter how fast you are, you can't beat the bullets, you have to think clearly......"
"Don't move, I'm sure not moving...... I know you don't believe me, but I ask you to send a letter to Chief Ermao quickly and pass on this news, which can be regarded as a little favor from our Huai Army..."
"Why are you helping us? Why...... Didn't you ambush the prime minister?" Qiu Wei asked coldly.
"I know it's hard for you to believe my information, but what I said is completely true, and this information was sent by my family Li Dashuai himself......"
"Hey, the reason is also very simple, we are guilty of losing, if we want to reduce the sin, then we have to let the court lose even more, only the Eight Banners lose worse than our Huai army, we can turn the crisis into safety, and the firepower of all parties in the court will not be concentrated on us...... You understand..."
Of course, Qiu Wei understood that he could become an important spy in the torture hall, his brain was originally faster than ordinary people, and the other party's reasoning really made sense.
"Okay, my message has already been delivered, and I don't care about the rest of the matter...... Finally, I would like to send you a word, hurry up and get out of here, your identity has been exposed, and your joint code here has been leaked by the soft bones in the prison, not long ago......"
"I'm leaving, you have to do it yourself, I'm afraid the eagle claw grandson of the court has already come to you... Be careful, Sister Wu...... "After speaking, the big man turned his head and left."
The sound of horses' hooves quickly disappeared, and Qiu Wei hurriedly rushed to the backyard without the slightest slackness, gathered all the love newspapers into a copper basin, poured kerosene and lit them.
Just as Qiu Wei pushed open the back door and was about to flee from here, a cold female voice suddenly came from the eaves diagonally opposite, "Qiu Wei...... A son of the Green Battalion of the Han Army, his father was a general of the Green Battalion in western Beijing, and later died of illness...... In the next year, because he was bewitched by Xiao Letian's Western thoughts, he took refuge in the torture hall and directly returned to the leadership of the Spring Thirteen Niang......"
Qiu Wei was scared out of a white sweat, and without saying a word, he raised his hand and didn't need to aim, and there were three shots at the sound.
Bang Bang Bang ...... Three crisp gunshots were exchanged for the whispers of a hutong resident, followed by the sound of a closed door.
Qiu Wei didn't dare to slack off and ran forward along the alley, on the line of life and death, he squeezed out the last trace of potential in his body, and at that moment he was faster than the flying bolt.
"What a gut... How dare you shoot at my sister Wu...... Outflanked the past, caught alive, this is a big fish......" As he spoke, there was a clattering sound on the roofs on both sides of the alley, and the four eagle claw grandsons and the foggy imp outflanked and chased after them.
Qiu Wei knew that the little ghost in the fog was a female pervert, and it was definitely not good for him to fall into his hands, and now he could only rely on his familiarity with the terrain to get out.
The alleys of Nancheng were so numerous and dense that Qiu Wei ran wildly in them, the muddy water under his feet splashing, and from time to time he would shoot in mid-air to force back those approaching Eagle Claw Suns.
After walking through four alleys, Qiu Wei was already tired and out of breath at this time, his chest was like a furnace spewing fire into his throat, and his heart was almost jumping out of his heart.
But he has been persevering, and the belief in survival has supported him to run all the way forward, knowing that he saw an old man with white hair at the mouth of the fourth alley, and he realized that his end was finally coming.
"Huhuhuhu...... Qiu Weila gasped like a bellows, "Forbidden City...... Old...... Ancestors... Hehe...... Looks like I'm not saved today...... There are wolves in front and tigers in the back..."
That's right, it was the ancestor who was the first in martial arts in the Forbidden City who was blocking the mouth of the alley, and there were six apprentices behind him, all of whom were masters of martial arts no less than those of the Fog Hidden Imp.
Qiu Wei stood still, in front of him was the old ancestor and behind was Sister Wu, there was no way to escape from the front and back attacks, this torture hall handler turned the revolver on his temple, and he yelled, "Farewell, my brothers and sisters, the new world that the prime minister said, I can't see it, remember to burn me paper and incense......" After speaking, his index finger was suddenly forced.
At this moment, I only heard a crisp snap, and the revolver in Qiu Wei's hand was knocked away by a small pebble, and Qiu Wei's wrist was numb.
It was the old ancestor who made the move, and with a wave of his hand without saying a word, the apprentices on both sides rushed over, and the old ancestor himself walked towards Qiu Wei slowly as if he was strolling leisurely.
Qiu Wei held his numb right wrist with his left hand, and stared at the old ancestor coldly, "What's the matter? You also want to catch it alive? What do you want from my mouth? And you want to give it to your master? Hmph, I really pity you for your good kung fu, and you actually sold it to the jackal......
At this time, several apprentices of the old ancestor had already rushed past Qiu Wei and killed the fog hidden ghost behind him, and the old ancestor glanced at him and said lightly......, "Your father is also a general of the imperial court, and you are also the queen of the gate, and you actually joined the enemy?"
After speaking, the old ancestor strode towards the depths of the alley, leaving only Qiu Wei in a daze.
"I'm the enemy? hehehe, I'm still behind the door...... When did this damn court ever care about us generals?"
"When my father was seriously ill, he went to the camp to receive the monthly money and grain, and what did he get? Half a bag of brown rice mixed with sand, not a penny of silver, and all the money and food we deserved were embezzled by the dog officials......
"What the hell is this, my father is not greedy and perverts the law, but dies of poverty and disease, but those shameless people sing and sing every night in the wine pool and meat forest, how can I be loyal to this kind of dirty court..."
Qiu Wei stared at the back of the old ancestor who had gone away, and said fiercely, "You are just a dog, all you care about is whether there are enough flesh and bones in front of you...... The prime minister is right, when a person has no family and no dreams in his heart, but is only filled with his own selfish desires, this kind of person is a slave of desire, no matter what their identity is, the soul will always be lowly..."
"To decide whether a person is noble or not, it is not his identity or fame, but only his soul... You don't understand this truth, and few people in the entire Qing Dynasty can understand it...... Fortunately, the prime minister understands, and so do those of us brave who turn the tide... The hope of this country is in us, that's all......"
Qiu Wei picked up the pistol on the ground and began to run towards Jingshan, and at this time, the apprentices of the old ancestor were almost over the battle, and the men of the foggy imp died tragically on the spot one by one.
"Sister Wu, you better surrender, die obediently in front of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and you can still help your master dissipate his anger...... As long as your life can save the Empress Dowager Xi, then you will be considered to have died a well-deserved death..."
When Sister Wu heard this, she snorted, "Let my aunt and grandmother die?"
Note: Why do some people say that I am a woman? I am here to announce that the author of "The Hidden Dragon of the Great Qing Dynasty" is a pure heart, a pure man, not a woman... Remember, I'm a man, not a woman...
