Cixi and Li Lianying have been in high positions of power for many years, especially Cixi, who can decide life or death of ministers with a single word, and they have experienced countless swords and swords, both overtly and covertly.

However, the two of them have never personally experienced the battlefield of iron and blood.

Whenever the gunshots sounded like exploding beans, both of their bodies could not restrain their tremors.

Suddenly, Li Lianying's shoulders dropped, and he screamed: "Ah, I've been shot!"

Chuxiu Palace has a hard gabled roof, with a moisture-proof layer under the glazed tiles and a suspended ceiling below. The suspended ceiling is also covered with a moisture-proof layer.

Zhao Chuanxin is in the back of the house to the north, while Cixi's bedroom faces south.

There are some debris and walls in the middle, so most bullets don't penetrate the layers of obstacles, but there are always fish that slip through.

Eunuch Li was unlucky and was injured by a stray bullet. He covered his shoulders and started wailing.

At this time, Cixi also discovered that Zhao Chuanxin had shot directly on the roof, and was immediately shocked.

She suddenly became more flexible at this moment. Even though she was 74 years old, she opened the window quickly and got out by herself.

Then he didn't forget to stretch out his hand: "Hurry, Lianying, come out quickly."

The Beiyang soldiers in the courtyard also noticed something was wrong and stepped forward to respond.

After catching the two of them, a group of people surrounded them and retreated.

Cixi looked at the miserable Li Lianying hanging from her arms, and roared angrily: "Kill him for me no matter the cost! As long as you kill him, I will be rewarded heavily and promoted to a higher rank. I will do what I say!"

The old lady was shocked and angry, and her anger meter was almost full!

Who would have thought that the dignified old Buddha would be forced to jump out of the window?

Who would have thought that she almost died in the house just now?

Moreover, Zhao Chuanxin also injured Li Lianying!

The Master was talking a lot tonight, and she could imagine how her embarrassing situation would be reported in the newspapers tomorrow and the day after.

Zhao Chuanxin on the roof continued to fire, trying to make the metal storm clear of blind spots.

The fight was in full swing, but suddenly I found those Beiyang soldiers rushing over from both sides like crazy.

He was startled.

Immediately, I felt overjoyed. Could it be that it was Cixi who died?

Only if she dies will these Beiyang soldiers rush to kill her like crazy, right?

He hurriedly turned the muzzle of his gun and didn't bother to shoot downwards, facing the Beiyang soldiers on both sides.

Lafayette personally issued a message to kill Zhao Chuanxin and get a promotion, not to mention getting a huge reward.

Lafayette’s words are still powerful.

These Beiyang soldiers rushed forward one after another, regardless of casualties.

Zhao Chuanxin was suddenly under great pressure.

There is the Meridian Gate to the south of the Forbidden City and the Shenwu Gate to the north.

Chuxiu Palace is closest to Shenwu Gate.

But Zhao Chuanxin did not consider Shenwu Gate, because the north and south gates must be heavily guarded.

He thought briefly and then headed west.

The ammunition from the Madsen machine gun in my hand was splashed out like it was free.

Then he jumped up to the West Wing Hall.

People were in the air, but their guns kept shooting at the steady stream of Beiyang soldiers running toward the west of Chuxiu Palace.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't get any better either. He felt a slight pain in his left chest from the shock, and he was also hit by a bullet in his right rib.

Fortunately, I have the protection of Fortitude Armor, otherwise I would have to explain it here today.

Cixi, who had not gone far after being protected, couldn't help but look back and saw this scene:

Zhao Chuanxin soared into the sky, like a flying fairy from heaven, leaping across two halls, but the flames from the muzzle of his gun shot out for a long time.

But our troops were cut down layer by layer like wheat, and blood flowed into rivers for a while.

Cixi had never seen this before, and her eyes widened: "Is this person a human, an immortal, or a demon?"

Naturally, the Beiyang officer also saw it and opened his mouth in surprise.

He couldn't help but interrupt and said: "Queen Mother, this person has a name, the Great Master outside the Pass. In ancient times, there was Lu Bu, the God of War. After today, I'm afraid this person will also be called the God of War."

"Is it possible that there really is magic in the world?"

"Queen Mother, let's not worry about the magic for now. Let's take you out of here first. By the way, we can treat Eunuch Li's injuries."

"Yes, take him to have his arm treated quickly."

Let's talk about Zhao Chuanxin, who jumped up to the back of the West Wing Palace. Next door is the Xianfu Palace.

He climbed over the wall, ran to the north wall of Xianfu Palace, and climbed up the wall again.

The Beiyang soldiers were still in Chuxiu Palace, shouting to the people behind them: "He has climbed over the wall, chase him quickly."

The word spread before anyone left Chuxiu Palace.

Although not all of the more than 10,000 imperial guards were present, there were at least 3,000 to 5,000 people crowded outside, packed shoulder to shoulder outside the gate of Chuxiu Palace.

Immediately, someone chased him westward.

Zhao Chuanxin jumped two walls in a row and left the Xianfu Palace. There was a courtyard at the back, and he couldn't tell which one was which. In short, he avoided the Shenwu Gate due north, but he still had to break through the northern city wall, so he went north.

That’s it.

The Beiyang soldiers didn't have the ability to climb over walls and walls, so they could only take a detour and go in and out through the door.

As a result, Zhao Chuanxin had already climbed the wall of the Forbidden City, but the Beiyang soldiers had not arrived yet.

Zhao Chuanxin looked back and saw nothing.

I don’t know if that random shooting killed the old immortal. If not, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance next time.

After today, she probably needs to be heavily guarded every day to feel at ease.

But if he dies, then Zhao Chuanxin will become famous, and he will probably be written down heavily in the history books.

Not lingering any longer, he sacrificed himself off the city wall and fell into the moat.

In the distance, some Beiyang soldiers faintly heard the sound of falling water, and ran over to check, but found nothing.

A moat is a great obstacle to others.

But for Zhao Chuanxin, the moat is his emergency escape route.

He was not in a hurry to go ashore, but swam along the Tongzi River from the north to the west, because that was where he came from and he had to go back to find Zhang Rong.

Return along the original path, go ashore and head west.

Because most of the Beiyang soldiers were attracted inside and outside the Forbidden City, after leaving the Forbidden City, there were no people searching or setting up cards.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Chuanxin saw a man squatting against the wall of a private house.

He became alert, took out his pistol and asked: "Who is not sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you doing squatting there?"

"It's me, Zhang Rong."

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin came back alive and well, Zhang Rong breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Didn't I ask you to wait at the inn?"

"I've figured it out." Zhang Rong grabbed his hair and answered the question: "I've figured it out. If you want to overthrow this decadent dynasty, it might be possible to kill Cixi. Even if there are no constraints, Guangxu's reforms may be

It is also unsustainable. Even two more rotten pillars cannot support a house that is due to collapse."

Zhao Chuanxin was surprised.

It turns out that Zhang Rong was worried that Cixi's death would affect the overthrow of the Qing government if the reform went smoothly.

Have you figured this out?

Zhao Chuanxin knew that with or without Cixi, the Qing government would still be finished. But without Cixi, maybe, maybe, the situation would be a little messier.

Of course, he couldn't be sure of the consequences.

Zhao Chuanxin said with a smile: "I've figured it out, I've figured it out."

Zhang Rong: "So, did you kill Cixi?"

Zhao Chuanxin originally wanted to confidently tell him that he had solved it, but after thinking about it, he was not sure. It was too early to pretend: "Well, this, probably, maybe, maybe not."

"..."

Listen, is this human language?

Can this kind of thing be answered completely?

Just,

Zhang Rong asked him: "What's going on with the rumbling cannons and the constant gunshots?"
To be continued...
