Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

Just as he was thinking wildly, something suddenly flashed past him.Xiao Ran turned his head abruptly, only to see a figure standing under a plane tree!Wearing black clothes and pants, and a black turban mask, the whole person is almost integrated with the darkness!

Shocked, Xiao Ran turned back to pull out the firecracker at his waist, but saw the man arched his hand slightly, and said three words softly: "'Grandpa' please."

A mysterious man appeared!Xiao Ran slowly let go of his hand, and a layer of cold sweat unknowingly secreted from his forehead.

In fact, he has always hoped to see this mysterious 'grandpa' with his own eyes, but he never expected to be in such a delicate time and place.Longwang Town has just rescued Sheng Jia, and before returning to the capital, a mysterious person appears here. What does this mean? ...

The man in black didn't give him a chance to think.Xiao Ran only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then his head buzzed, he didn't know anything.

When he woke up, he was in an abandoned house with a musty smell in the air.A torch was stuck on the wall, and the heat from the flame sent a spider web under the rafters flying here and there.

"Congratulations, Envoy Xiao Qin!" A deep and cold voice sounded from behind.Xiao Ran wanted to look back, but found that he was tied to a chair and could not move, his heart sank.

"who are you?"

flutter!A cold object was pressed against the back of his head, Xiao Ran didn't need to turn his head to know that it was his pistol.Taking a deep breath, he said in a calm tone as much as possible: "You won't kill me. If you want to kill me, you don't need to make so much effort to get me here."

The muzzle of the gun was sharply pointed forward, and the voice suddenly became sharper: "So, Dragon King Town rescue you, did you do this on purpose?"

Xiao Ran was not sure what the other party's intentions were for a moment, so he pondered for a while and said: "No, I didn't know that the emperor was surrounded inside until I broke through. This is just a coincidence."

There was a suffocating silence.After a full cup of tea, the muzzle of the gun finally moved away slowly. "You're so courageous. I have [-] dead soldiers, and there are really not many who have the courage of you." The voice paused, and then said: "You probably won't be able to do it for long. Dragon King Town was defeated. You don’t have to worry about being poisoned to death. With me here, I will naturally keep you safe. Get ready to drive to Chengde, and someone will contact you there. But..."

Gudong!Something fell to the ground, and then rolled to the front.Xiao Ran looked at the flames, opened his mouth suddenly, but couldn't make a sound!

Messy hair, pale skin, round eyes, bloody half neck...

Head!

The head of Longze!

The head of a third-rank official!

The great fear caused Xiao Ran's stomach to convulse violently, and he couldn't help but vomit.A few hours ago, this strong bear-like man was still alive and kicking. Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to escape the guns of the foreign devils, but he failed to escape the butcher's knife raised by his own people in the darkness!Xiao Ran's heart tightened suddenly.

"Although you are my favorite piece of chess, don't think that I am reluctant to kill you. If you extend your hand so long, you will end up just like him."

laugh!A dagger skimmed over his shoulder, cut off the rope on his body, and without stopping, he nailed it to the side of Oh Longze's head.The blade trembled, and the pale face on the old forehead reflected by the flickering cold light became more ferocious.

Xiao Ran suddenly turned around, and there was no one in the room, only the wind blowing on the broken window paper, and his six-round pistol was quietly lying beside the window.

Before dawn, Xiao Ran took off his coat, covered the old man's head, and walked out of the house.There was a winding alley in front of the door. It took a long time to walk and run before reaching the main street. After identifying the direction, I ran all the way back to the station of the firearms battalion.Duan Xingnian was walking around the door in a hurry, and when he saw him, he hurried up to greet him: "My lord, where are you going? Miss Lu has been waiting for you, and she is going crazy!"

"Xueyao is okay?" Xiao Ran let out a long breath.Many mysteries have become a mess in my mind, but now, at least some of the mysteries can be solved.

The sky is gradually turning white, but the lamps like beans are still on the table.

"You... still not sleeping?" Xueyao got up and put a piece of clothing on him, "It's cold in the morning, so be careful."

"Ah? Oh..." Xiao Ran casually agreed, his mind was mobilizing his nerves rapidly, and put together all the information about the mysterious person.

The most direct reason for the old man's death was undoubtedly Longwang Town's rescue.From this point of view, Xianfeng's imperial conquest this time will never be as simple as it seems on the surface, and there must be an amazing conspiracy hidden behind it.

The person who instigated the ministers to join the fold was Sushun, and the mysterious person that Xiao Ran suspected at first was also Sushun.Could it really be him?A question suddenly flashed in Xiao Ran's mind.Using such a direct method to put Xianfeng to death, even if the plot succeeds, he will be charged with the eternal crime of "endangering the clan".

If not him, who would it be?

Xianfeng was surrounded by Longwang Town. If he was killed or captured by foreign soldiers, who would benefit more?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows suddenly.If it really came to that point, the imperial court must follow the example of the disaster of Ming Yingzong's civil fortress and choose to establish a prince.Xianfeng's son Zaichun is only five years old, so it is impossible for him to handle government affairs, so the court power will fall between Yixin and Sushun.Not to mention whether Sushun is going to be questioned, but Yixin is the representative of the peace faction. At this time, he is probably the only one who can maintain the political situation and handle state affairs.

In addition, he was originally the assistant to Prince Gong, so the job of assisting the young master and acting as the general manager of the state affairs would fall on him in all likelihood.Then Yixin can use the name of Xiangzan Young Master to seize the power of the court without any effort!

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran remembered another thing.That time at the Summer Palace, Yixin was quite harsh on him when he was ordered to have sexual intercourse, but Sushun stood aside and tried his best to defend him.It is precisely because of this reason that I mistakenly think that Sushun is the mysterious person behind the scenes.Thinking about it now, it was clearly a strategy to hide our strength and bide our time.It seems that I really underestimated this Prince Gong.

What to do next?Xiao Ran frowned, but his eyes became brighter.In any case, Xueyao is safe and sound now, which means that among these brothers in Huoqiying, there should be no eyeliner for Yixin.Thinking of this, his blood started to boil, and he punched the table: "With this group of people, then, let's fight!"

"Fool." A soft smile sounded beside him.Looking back, it turned out to be Xueyao, her whole body was huddled under the blanket, only her head was exposed to look at him, her little face was flushed, her big eyes blinked, she was indescribably cute, "You... Don't want to?"

"Ah?" Xiao Ran froze for a moment, then rushed over like a hungry dog, "I want to! I want to die!"

"I can't even think about it." Xue Yao mercilessly shook the back of her head, "That one is here."

"..."

Besides, Xianfeng's body was already weak, after this fright, he developed a high fever in the middle of the night.Early the next morning, a battle report came from ahead, saying that six or seven thousand foreign devils were heading towards Xingyuan.Zaiyuan, Jingshou and others hurriedly escort Shengjia back to Beijing, but Xiao Ran stays behind on the pretext of stopping the foreign bandits.

There is no garrison in Xingyuan County, only the local regiment trains less than a thousand people, and the weapons are all big knives. It is basically an impossible task to defend the city.Wu Minzhi, the county magistrate, was more open-minded, moved his wife, gold and silver, and slipped away before dawn, and moved faster than the emperor.As a result, the people in the city were in a mess, and their families rushed out of the city one after another, fleeing towards the capital.For a while, the refugees blocked the road, crying loudly.

At this time, Xiao Ran and his 260 seven brothers stood on the city wall, silently watching the fleeing crowd, listening to the mournful cries.

With two or three hundred versus six or seven thousand, even heavenly soldiers and generals may only be beaten.Everyone knew this, but when Xiao Ran announced to stay, no one objected.After all, if it wasn't for Xiao Ran's command, these people would have been wiped out in Nianzi Mountain.In the hearts of these more than 200 men, their lives had already been handed over to Xiao Ran.

After a long time, Xiao Ran waved his hand vigorously: "Okay, let's stop here, the Firearms Battalion will be disbanded on the spot."

"What?" Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all stunned.

"This place will become an empty city in a while, and it won't make any sense to keep it up." Xiao Ran said firmly, "I keep you here because I don't want you to go back to the capital to die. Think about it, the foreign devils occupy Xingyuan for a day. You can reach Beijing in as little time as you want. Now the troops of the capital run away and disperse. Our firearms battalion is no better than other people's army. When we go back, we just wipe our butts against the tank. I know you are all men who are not afraid of death, but it is not worth losing in vain. Life. It is better to plan ahead than to sit and wait for death."

Of course, everyone knew the weight of these words, and they didn't know what to say for a while.Cheng Tong thought for a while and said, "But General Er..."

"General Er has... been killed." Xiao Ran waved his hand, and Duan Xingnian walked forward with a package and put it on the arrow stack.Untie it, revealing Erlongze's head.

Everyone was in an uproar, this is the current third-rank official! "Who did this?"

"Those who want our lives." Xiao Ran sighed, "Huoqiying has made a lot of achievements recently, but it is inevitable that you will be envied because of your achievements. I know that there are bannermen's children in you, there are Baoyi, and there are also hired Han Chinese, but in In the eyes of others, we are all just a chess piece, use it if you want it, and discard it if it is useless. So once the old man dies, I will not let everyone go back."

"Damn it, if we don't let us live, we will fight with his mother!" More than 200 men roared together, "What to do, my lord, tell us, we will listen to you!"

Xiao Ran looked at the sharp-edged faces in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Then listen carefully, there are two ways now: one, the firearms battalion will be disbanded on the spot, and everyone will go their separate ways. If there is no travel expenses, I have 1 Ten thousand taels of silver bills, everyone splits up and makes money. Second, the left and right are only one death, and there is a saying that wealth and wealth are found in insurance, so let's fight for it!"

Cheng Tong took the lead and shouted: "We have been soldiers all our lives, what else can we do if we don't fight? My lord, our brothers are willing to follow you!" Everyone also said: "Yes, we will only listen to what your lord says! "

"Okay, brothers trust me, so Xiao Ran will give up this head, and fight for wealth with everyone! Brother Duan, come and drink!"

More than 200 heroes, more than 200 bowls of spirits.Xiao Ran drew out his saber, stretched out his left arm and swiped lightly, a string of blood drops fell into the wine.Everyone drank their blood one after another, raised their wine bowls and shouted in unison: "Life and death go hand in hand, we share weal and woe, we stand with each other with sincerity, never leave!..."

In the east, the morning light pierces through the thick fog, and a round of rising sun bursts out.Xiao Ran and his brothers were bathed in the vast sunlight, and there was vaguely a golden avenue in front of them.

♂ Volume 3 The True Colors of Kinky Men ♀

→Chapter 023 - Let me rob you first←

The foreign devils came a little earlier than li xuan expected, and they were divided into two groups, one of them came straight from the south, and the other came from east to west, in an attempt to encircle the county.Xiao Ran led his people to withdraw from the west gate, and took advantage of the cover of the terrain to narrowly pass between the two lines of enemy soldiers less than ten miles apart.Although they successfully broke through, everyone's palms were sweating.At this moment, Xueyao changed into a set of short cloth robes worn by Qing soldiers, her small face under the straw hat turned white with nervousness, and she followed Xiao Ran closely.

Marching all the way in a hurry, it was almost noon when they arrived in the capital.The people in the city are fleeing one after another, and there is chaos everywhere.Just in front of them came a small group of Qing soldiers, carrying a small green woolen sedan and hurried on the road, led by Heng Qi, the supervisor of Guangdong Customs.Xiao Ran only saw him one more time in the early court that day, but thanks to his good memory, he still recognized him, so he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Master Hengda, what's going on in the city now?"

Seeing Xiao Ran, Heng Qi couldn't help smiling wryly.It turned out that as soon as Xianfeng returned to Beijing, he took his wife and children and fled to Chengde in a hurry. Duanhua, Sushun, military ministers Mu Yin, Kuangyuan, Duhan, etc., all ordered Prince Gong Yichen to be the full minister. Staying in the capital, Seng Gelinqin, Ruilin, and Shengbao troops stationed outside the city to prevent and suppress.But the soldiers and generals of Monk King's gang have all dispersed like birds and beasts, and there are three bare commanders left, why are they still guarding?
