The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

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

However, after going out, the housekeeper took out a retractable monocular telescope and looked into the distance.

I don’t know if he carries this thing with him and usually uses it to read or something.

But after seeing it, he shouted in panic: "No, leave quickly, those people are chasing me."

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

Li Wanyong heard the butler's words, raised the sedan curtain and glanced into the distance, and was immediately shocked.

"Let's go, let's go. I'll give you more money. Let's run."

Korean sedans are very unique, with a wheel underneath.

The sedans of military attaches are "open-top", while the sedans of civil servants are covered with curtains, especially the sedans used by family members.

It has wheels, which makes it much easier for bearers. After hearing this, the two people in front and behind quickly 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 arrived yet?"

The butler's eyes retracted from the curtain of Ren's sedan chair, and he said solemnly: "Master, they should be on the way and will arrive soon."

Behind them, headed by Li Xiuji, the marching people came in an aggressive manner with their faces filled with desire for power and excitement for the catharsis of violence.

At this time, for them, patriotism was not just patriotism. They felt the pleasure of rebelling against the rules and experienced the pleasure of using brute force to make more powerful opponents tremble.

There is a certain difference between this and the thugs the Japanese call them.

At least now they're just pursuing something as a driving force that numbs their fear of the future.

The thugs ignored all rules and carried out destruction indiscriminately.

Apparently they just hate the Japanese and everything related to the Japanese at this point.

And Li Xiuji's mood is even more complicated. If the people behind him are Yashen, he will be the leader.

He is at the front, but he is also the representative of this force.

When he was having fun, he also bore everyone's fears.

The people were not afraid because Li Xiuji took the lead, but Li Xiuji taking the lead also meant that he had to bear all responsibilities.

The only thing that gave him some peace of mind was Zhao Chuanxin, who was hanging leisurely not far away.

This God of War is his confidence.

Suddenly, Zhao Chuanxin took two steps quickly and reminded Li Xiuji from behind: "In front of Li Wanyong's house, there is a group of people running south. Maybe it is Li Wanyong. If we don't chase, we 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 distance.

Li Xiuji took a brief look, quickly raised his hands, turned around and shouted to the people behind him: "Li Wanyong is running away, let's catch up."

There was really a response. The people marching behind had ten thousand horses roaring in their restless hearts, shouting: "Catch him and beat him to death!"

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

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

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

Just like telling a small citizen that if you run, you will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan, it is easy and you can persist. But if you ask them to make money by selling and plunge into an unfamiliar field to make a living, most of them will refuse.

The common people in these parades only know that they have to catch up. If they catch up, they will win. As for what to do after you catch him, isn't there Mr. Li?

The only one with a grimace here was Zhao Chuanxin.

He was panting: "What the hell, those people can run so fast carrying a sedan, what a beast they are!"

Li Xiuji heard this. Although he was sweating profusely, he mustered up his energy and shouted: "Li Wan can't walk faster than us in a sedan chair. Everyone, work harder to catch up."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

The sun is directly overhead and is the hottest time of the day.

Zhao Chuanxin held his hat to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

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

Perhaps because he was panting heavily, Li Xiuji didn't hear anything and ran away with the people.

One after another, people passed by Zhao Chuanxin, who was holding his knees and panting. From time to time, someone cast a look of disdain on him: "Boy, do you think you are so powerful, with just this little fighting power?"

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin's limit is far beyond this, but he lacks the enthusiasm of these people.

Even if Li Wanyong was allowed to run away today, he could definitely catch up to Wen Yang. If he could run away, the monk would not be able to run away from the temple.

By the time he regained his breath, the people in front of him had already run a mile away.

There is a reason why Zhao Chuanxin chose this moment to make trouble.

Now the Korean people are very passionate about coming to Japan, but in two or three years, the anger will gradually fade away. At that time, the voice of "union" with Japan will become more and more loud.

By then it will be too late to cause trouble.

He had to keep anti-Japanese sentiment \u003e unity voice to keep the balance tilted.

So I rested for a while and hurried to catch up.

No matter how strong the legs of Li Wanyong's sedan bearers were, after all, it would be impossible to run past the unburdened people if they were pushing the sedan.

So, I was slowly caught up.

The angry people surrounded all the carriages and sedan chairs.

"Thief Li Wanyong, let's see where you go."

"You bitch, let me chase you!"

At this time, both the marching people and Li Wanyong's group had reached the end of their strength and were gasping for breath like bellows.

The people were excited, while Li Wanyong and others had pale faces.

A few people facing thousands of people would be frightening to anyone.

The marchers were waiting for further action when the housekeeper said in surprise: "You bunch of unruly people, the Japanese army is here, and now you have something to look at."

It turned out that there was a group of Japanese soldiers in the east, using carriages to pull ammunition, and four machine guns had arrived.

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

Suddenly, no one dared to move.

Li Xiuji couldn't help but become nervous when he saw the Japanese soldiers pushing the wheeled machine guns with expressionless faces.

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

But with the pistol against the machine gun, he didn't feel the slightest sense of security.

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

The Japanese machine gun was developed by imitating the French Hotchkiss heavy machine gun after the Japanese discovered the role of heavy machine guns on the battlefield.

There is not much difference in design, except that the Hotchkiss heavy machine gun's five air-cooling fins have been changed to seven.

There are two types, one is the tripod machine gun.

This was what was used to deal with Zhao Chuanxin in the Seoul Hotel at that time.

The other is a wheeled machine gun, usually used by cavalry.

But something happened suddenly today. The Japanese army also equipped these infantry with wheeled machine guns.

The Japanese attach great importance to machine guns, and do not use cheap but unreliable canvas belts at all, but directly use metal feed plates.

When the common people saw the heavy machine gun, their faces turned pale this time and they did not dare to move at all.

Taking advantage of the crowd's strength, the housekeeper jumped up and pointed at the people surrounding them: "You unruly people are continuing to make trouble? Are you continuing to bark? Why did you stop? Are you willing to touch our master?"

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

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

He walked around for a week, then coughed and said, "I am the Prime Minister 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 the villain. I think it has nothing to do with Zhao Chuanxin, who was praised as the God of War. This thief made a bad move. The culture makes everyone think that violence is the way to resolve disputes. This is not good! This is wrong!"

Li Xiuji's eyelids jumped when he heard this in the crowd. He had already touched the mirror box, and the impulsiveness came again. Especially when he heard Li Wan shamelessly slandering Zhao Chuanxin and slandering Zhao Chuanxin, he couldn't control himself. Got angry.

Seeing the silence of the people around him, Li Wanyong smiled contemptuously: "Look at Japan, they have a strong country and a strong army, but can you unarmed people resist? A mere Zhao Chuanxin can give you the courage to besiege Tangtang Prime Minister of the Cabinet? He, Zhao Chuanxin, is nothing more than a grassroots bandit. Do you really regard him as your hope?"

There was some commotion among the people.

I don’t know if I think it makes sense or if I 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 have no selfish motives! 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 he spoke, 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 could no longer hold back, so he took out his gun and went to disperse the crowd, preparing to give Li Wan a few shots to kill him on the spot.

At this time, someone panted and pulled his arm: "What are you doing?"

Li Xiuji turned around and saw that the missing Zhao Chuanxin appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Zhao, you..."

Zhao Chuanxin was out of breath: "Fuck, you guys are running really fast, let me chase you."

This sounds familiar.

Li Xiuji couldn't laugh or cry.

He was also worried that something had happened to Zhao Chuanxin. It turned out that he just couldn't keep up with the large army.

This God of War was becoming more and more difficult for him to understand.

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

He chuckled.

Li Xiuji was angry at Li Wanyong's bold words. Seeing Zhao Chuanxin laughing, he wondered: "Mr. Zhao, why can you still laugh at this time? Then Li Wanyong called you a thief."

"Do you seem stupid?" Zhao Chuanxin looked at Li Xiuji as if he were a fool: "If he scolds me a few words, can I lose some meat? If he wants to scold me, just scold him."

I am Cao.

Li Xiuji really felt stupid.

Looking at the magnanimity of the rightful 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 this is all, wouldn't this be an advantage for this thief?"

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

"Then let me try?"

"Just give it a try and give it your all. If your acting skills aren't good enough, I'll beat you to death!"

This reminded Li Xiuji of speaking in public before, which felt really good.

So, he pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.

Li Wan was cursing vigorously when he suddenly saw a young man wearing glasses walking out and couldn't help but feel nervous.

He looked towards the Japanese army.

Although Ito Hirobumi's secretary Taijiro Mori only has a clerical position, today he came to the scene with the Japanese army to take charge of the overall situation.

Because it concerns Li Wanyong, Mori Taijiro's arrival means that the Tongyuan Office attaches great importance to him, Li Wanyong.

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

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

Taijiro Mori hid between two Japanese soldiers and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? What do you want?"

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

"Mr. Li, please tell me."

"Yes, we will do what you say."

When the common people met and faced the heavy gunfire of the Japanese army, Li Xiuji could still keep his face calm and stood calmly at the front, withstanding the pressure for everyone.

Some people's eyes were red.

This is the true patriot!

Li Xiuji raised his hand: "There are powerful enemies outside and national thieves inside. At this time of life and death for Korea, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Today, I wanted to capture Li Wanyong and let everyone interrogate this public enemy together. However, the Japanese army was armed with live ammunition. , as if they are treating this place as a battle formation, they may shoot to suppress it. I, Li Xiuji, really don’t want to see everyone die here.”

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

"Yes, I, Jiang Mingsheng, will be with you under my real name!"

"If you die, you will die. What are you afraid of?"

Lee Soo-gil, who was originally very good at acting, really got into the act after hearing this.

His eyes turned red and he couldn't help but shed tears.

The veins on his forehead popped out, and he almost jumped up, took out his gun and shot Li Wanyong directly.

He tried his best to resist this impulse, and said according to Zhao Chuanxin's instructions: "Everyone, everyone is destined to die, but it cannot be easier than a feather. Even if we cannot bring Li Wanyong to trial today, we will certainly not let this thief have an easy time in the future."

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a dagger.

This dagger was given to him by Zhao Chuanxin. It was captured when Zhao Chuanxin killed a US Navy spy.

Seeing Li Xiuji take out a dagger, several Japanese soldiers pointed their guns at him.

Li Wanyong was even more startled and couldn't help but take 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 Imperial Japanese soldiers with a dagger?"

In the original history, Li Xiuji actually stabbed Li Wan twice with a dagger.

One knife in the waist, one knife in the shoulder.

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

But now, Li Xiuji did not want to assassinate Li Wanyong.

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

Everyone was stunned.

They all thought they were going to assassinate Li Wanyong, so why did they harm themselves?

Especially Li Wanyong, first he felt the pain and then felt inexplicable.

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

It turns out it was just self-harm, so that’s easy to explain.

Just listen to Lee Soo-gil's impassioned words: "Today, Lee swears to God that he will take the restoration of national sovereignty as his own responsibility and the defense of the Korean soil as his mission!"

Everyone suddenly realized that he was expressing his determination.

The people in the parade were moved.

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

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

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

This is what Zhao Chuanxin told him, because this can dispel the doubts of the Japanese army, otherwise it will not be worthwhile to shoot him to death if he is misunderstood.

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

Taijiro Mori wanted to laugh.

Are you fucking sick?

Does God have eyes?

Have you read too many fantasy novels?

Even the people marching thought this was a bit of a joke.

Although the idea is good, if the sky has eyes, these stupid Japanese and Li Wanyong would have died long ago, can they still dominate Korea?

Li Xiuji also said it bravely.

After saying that, as expected, with the blazing sun hanging high in the clear sky, where could the thunder come from?

He couldn't help but bite the bullet and throw his injured left hand to the sky.

Under the sun, a string of bright blood drops 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 his oath, please kill Li Wanyong!"

Li Wanyong finally broke through his guard and 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 if I am bleeding or ashamed.

He sighed secretly, feeling that he was very embarrassed today.

In the distance, Zhao Chuanxin urged his blue ghost armor to climb up a big tree.

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

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

He stretched out his hand, and ball lightning formed in his palm.

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

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

Li Wanyong, who was surrounded by the people, flicked his sleeves and said: "Humph, what a nonsense! If all the people in the country are like you, eating and having nothing to do all day long, and only know how to swear to God, then there will really be no hope for Korea forever. .”

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

Especially the hairs on the back of the hands are almost straighter than the soldiers in military training.

How is this going?

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

The first thing that came to mind was that perhaps Li Xiuji was really angry and prepared to assassinate him in front of the Japanese army.

But then I thought about it, that wasn’t right either.

Because he saw Taijiro Mori in the distance also looking panicked, but the Japanese soldiers had no intention of shooting.

this……

Li Wanyong followed their gazes and turned his head.

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 was close in an instant.

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