Chapter 115: Fire from All Sides (Part 1)
Chapter 115: Fires crept on all sides (Part 1)
"What should we do now?" In the house besieged by the devils, Longshantoutuo of the Wumen bandaged his injured eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice to the old man, the most prestigious and intelligent master of the Zhaocai Hall, besides Hu Yueniang and Tang Xin.
"If you break through directly, I believe there are no more than six people who can escape here. Our only hope is whether there are any authentic tunnels in the family of Doctor Wei to take refuge, which can be used for us to leave from the ground." The old man just fought hard with Chang Yin, and his hands were cut a little bit of flesh by the Evil Bone Seven Killing Sword. Although the evil demonic power attached to the knife wound was discharged in time, his hands still inevitably shrank, looking like a branch that was about to wither.
"No!" Qianzhen Xianwei Huan, the owner of the house, replied immediately without any hesitation.
At this moment, his face turned pale and he looked coldly at the surrounding gates of the lower nine-storey side, his eyes full of hatred.
Among all the lower nine-rate side doors in the house, Wei Huan was the most unfair one. It turned out that in accordance with the principle that both lower nine-rate middle people should take care of each other, he would take in lower nine-rate middle people who entered the capital for many years, providing food, clothing, housing and transportation, and gain a good reputation among the side doors. However, his actions were obviously not remembered by lower nine-rate side door people. This time, the lower nine-rate side door people entered the capital in a large amount of time, and kept him in the dark. Until today's disaster, the whole family died under the three-time living Buddha Ma Zhengyan, who came to revenge, that he realized that he had been framed by these fellow people, so he naturally had no less hatred for lower nine-rate side door people than those demons, and he wanted to let both gangs die together, so even if there was such a secret way, he would not say it.
The shrewd old man naturally knew Wei Huan's thoughts. He looked at Wu Zhen, a master of the tomb robber's gang beside him, and signaled him to search for it on his own. Wu Zhen nodded slightly and walked barefoot in the house. Every step he took, a very special true energy was emitted under his feet. Through the soles of his feet, he could easily feel what was going on underground, whether there was a passage or inside the crypt.
Wei Huan could not stop the small movements of the old man and others, so he could only stare at them with his bloodshot eyes. Compared with the rest of the people, the Linmen Fire Qilin Zhou Feiyun, who had the best relationship with Wei Huan among these people, and the long-sleeved green-clothed Bai Yulou felt deeply guilty. In order not to face the resentful eyes of his friends, they walked out silently regardless of their injuries and used what they learned to resist the attacks of the devils.
At this time, Lin Tuozi, the elder of the prostitute, suddenly said, "Did you hear any sound? It seems to be the sound of gunfire."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and quickly calmed down and listened carefully. At this time, a roar of guns and cannons sounded out of thin air, one after another. Even if you don’t need to listen quietly, you can hear it very clearly. Then you heard countless people’s panic screams, saying: “The Beiyang Army has rebelled with the foreigners! They are attacking the capital.”
Everyone who heard the shouting was stunned and felt a little incredible, thinking in their hearts, was God helping them?
Compared to these lower-level people, Xuangang Heavenly Demon had heard the report of the demon cultivators who guarded the East City Wall a moment ago, and he was even more shocked by this. He was indeed planning the Beiyang New Army and tempting them to rebel. Everyone who came into contact with the Beiyang New Army was monitored by his subordinates. Even Wang Shizhen, who had already been trusted by Prince Chun Zaifeng, did not let go, and had already arranged a net of heaven and earth waiting for them to fall into the net of themselves.
However, under the surveillance that he thought was perfect, the Beiyang New Army, who was unknown to the town, appeared outside the capital inexplicably, and fired without saying a word. He was even more shocked by foreign troops.
At this time, the guards of the outer side came down to report to the Regent Zaifeng for a look. Xuangang Tianmo thought about it and handed over all the things here to Changyin. Then he cast a spell to separate a true consciousness demon spirit from his body and merged into the Heavenly Demon Banner to continue to control the Heavenly Demon seal. He took the Four Demon Lords and the Moshan Demon among the Three Demons to see Zaifeng. When he walked to the entrance of the alley, he saw Zaifeng, who was wearing the Regent’s dragon robe and slightly weak-looking, led some close ministers to let go under the Xuangang Tianmo’s Demon, and quickly walked to him. As the firelight shone, Qifeng’s face looked slightly pale and had anger.
Since his son became the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and Zaifeng became the Regent himself, he has not been happy for a day. He knew that his identity was just a puppet, and the Xuangang Heavenly Demon had a special seniority, so it was no exaggeration to call him an ancestor. Most of the old princes of the clan were very convinced by him, and they united with him to control the court at will and set up the heir to the throne. Even Cixi had to respect him at that time, and he could not resist such a strong force.
Although he could not resist, this did not mean that he agreed with the actions of Xuangang Tianmo, especially the Xuangang Tianmo design of trying to seduce the Beiyang New Army to rebel. In his opinion, the Beiyang New Army's power is indeed too large and should be weakened, but it is definitely not a head-on method. Although according to the Xuangang Tianmo's approach, the power of the Beiyang New Army may be able to eliminate the power of the Beiyang New Army as quickly as possible, this will inevitably damage the strength of the Qing Dynasty, and it is very likely to be cheaper than those southern revolutionary parties. In this way, it is better to slowly try to seize control of the Beiyang New Army one by one for various legitimate reasons, and directly include the elite Beiyang Army soldiers in the control of the Qing royal family. Even if this method is slower, it is better than both sides of the defeat.
When the cannons were fired outside the city, Prince Chun Zaifeng was meeting with envoys from various countries in Beijing overnight and explaining to them the reason why Yuan Shikai stepped down. When the soldiers came to report that the Beiyang New Army and the foreign troops rebelled, not only Zaifeng was shocked, but even the foreign envoys around him were shocked. No one received any news in advance, and they all expressed their ties that this foreign army had nothing to do with them.
