Chapter 2222: Ji Zongbu’s Last Words
"Wu Beile, what are you doing? Our Baicao Hall is a kind family." Shen Long stopped Wu Beile, but Wu Beile was anxious to catch Bai Yingyu and ask about the whereabouts of his children. The senior brothers searched the yard, but unfortunately Bai Yingyu had already left the city, and they searched and searched but could not find anyone.
"Master Baylor, Baicao Hall has already started to pack up its things and prepare to run away. I asked the neighbors on the left and right. They all left the capital yesterday, and Mr. Bai probably left with them!" Someone who went to the next door to inquire came back to report .
"Run away?" Now Guiwu is also starting to get blind, can't the Baicao Hall be sealed off? This is a personal grievance between him and Bai Yingyu. If the entire Bai family is cleaned up, nothing else can be justified by Prince Zhan alone. He looked at Shen Long with his eyes rolling around, as if he planned to take him back to watch over him Yes, when the Bai family comes back, let them replace Bai Yingyu.
"Young master, let's report to the officials, these guys have ruined the family!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Bing Kuan hurried over and said loudly.
Guiwu was awakened by the sound of the young master, and he also wanted to understand that this Bai Jingqi was not an ordinary person, he was a direct descendant of Baicao Hall, and now the son of Bai Wenshi, the head of Baicao Hall, would inherit Baicao Hall in the future. In case, Bai Wenshi had to fight him desperately.
"What official? We are doing things for Lafayette now? Lafayette issued a decree, and today is to punish these foreigners and religious people who don't know etiquette! Today, Bai Laosan is not counting his fate. I will wait for him to come back. Take care of him again!" Gui Wu retreated, bluffed and left.
"Bah, what are these things!" Bing Kuan spat behind his back, and sighed after returning, "Young Master, you should go back and have a look, the house is really messed up by them."
Shen Long sighed, "Hey, this is nothing at all, there will be even more difficult times in the future! You guys have to be careful at that time, don't go out if there is nothing important to do; by the way, go to the rice store more often Buy some rice, noodles and vegetables, after a while, these things are probably not easy to buy, so there is no harm in preparing more."
The big brothers are getting more and more noisy. The people in the capital only know that the old Buddha, the Empress Dowager, wants to use the big brothers to drive away foreigners, surround the embassy area in Dongjiaomin Lane, and set up cannons to shoot shells inside. I don't quite understand; in Xia Jingtian'er in the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu, even worse news came, saying that it was because of the killing of foreigners, British, French, Japanese, American, German, Italian, and ordinary people who were not famous. A total of foreign devils from eight countries formed a gang, crossed the ocean and landed from Tianjin Wei, and came to the capital.
At first, many people didn't believe the bad news, but after a few days, there was the sound of guns and guns, and rumors spread all over the street that Lafayette and Emperor Guangxu fled to Xi'an, and that the Allied Forces of Eight Nations were about to invade Beijing! So people started fleeing.
The neighbors on the left and right were still laughing at the people in Baicao Hall for being too timid.
He ran away when he heard the news that there was no trace, but now he began to envy others for his foresight. It is much more difficult to run now than before. The price of those that can be transported by people can be increased by one day, but they can’t be bought with cash. Everyone tried their best to escape.
Those with connections, spent a lot of money to get carriages and horses, and hurried away with their families. Those without connections could only pack up their clothes and go to the suburbs to seek refuge with relatives. Those who didn't dare to go to the east also rushed to Mentougou, Fangshan and other places in the west.
These places are very poor now, even if the foreign devils enter the city, they don't have the heart to go there, they dare not go to Fengtai, but there is a big camp in Fengtai, so there is no guarantee that the foreign devils will not go there to fight.
Shen Long also directly locked the door of the Baicao Hall, and took Bingkuan and the others to the Baijia garden to settle them down, so that they would not go out easily, but he went out for a few laps in the name of inquiring about the news, firstly to check the capital. The terrain, the second thing is that there are good things there. After the Eight-Power Allied Forces came, they robbed a lot of national treasures. Instead of these things falling into their hands and being ruined, it is better for Shen Long to hide them and donate them to others in the future. Forbidden City.
At the same time, I didn't forget to go to Ji Zongbu's place to chat with Huang Chun and talk about love. That day, he was about to leave after talking with Huang Chun, but Ji Zongbu stopped him, "Now the street With such a messy face, you still run around every day without fear of accidents? Anyway, your parents and seniors have gone to Xi'an and no one cares about you, so you should take Huang Chun home! Remember, Huang Chun is a good girl, You can't let her down!"
"Mr. Ji, are you planning to fight the foreign devils?" Shen Long felt strange from Ji Zongbu's words. His words were more like confessing his last words, and his eyes became sharper, obviously he had already sprouted a will to die.
"What should I say? I am glad that I have taught a good apprentice, or do I think you are too smart? You can't hide this from you." Ji Zongbu sighed, "Ah, in fact, I have already taught you a good apprentice. Damn it, I didn't turn the corner for a while, and I didn't go to Caishikou with Mr. Tan and the others. I originally wanted to save my life and wait for the opportunity to rescue the emperor and start another career. It’s impossible to come!”
"I, Ji Zongbu, can't make the country rich and the army strong, and keep the foreign devils out of the country, but at least I still have the kung fu. When the time comes, I can kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one, and kill as many foreign devils as I can." Come on! Don’t imitate me, I’m the courage of a man, it’s useless to the country, I can only vent my anger on myself.”
"You are still young, you have to keep your useful body until the future. If you still remember me in the future, set up a tomb for me. When you remember, pour two glasses of wine on my grave. If our If the country is really prosperous and strong, you must tell me the good news, if I can see the day when all the foreign devils are driven out, I can rest in peace even under the nine springs!" Ji Zongbu said Already burst into tears.
Hey, then you have to wait, you have to wait for fifty years, Shen Long opened his mouth, wanting to persuade Ji Zongbu, but seeing him like this, he can't persuade him anymore! So Shen Long could only take Huang Chun away first.
As long as I'm here, it's hard for you to die even if you want to. It doesn't matter if I can't persuade you now. I will have a way to save your life at that time. Just like what you said just now, you are also a rare talent in China today. It's really hard to die like this It's such a pity.
