Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

When Liu Ye woke up, he found himself in a temple.

I was in pain, there was hardly any place on my body that didn't hurt. I was so hungry that steamed buns were flying everywhere. I was so thirsty that I felt like my throat was smoking!

Liu Ye slowly opened his eyes and groaned. "Damn it! It's so good to be alive! If this is the end of me, I'll run to the Yama Palace with a sniper rifle and kill King Qin Guang!" I've been reborn, but I haven't lived enough. I'm going to turn the tide. I'm going to reach the pinnacle of power. I'm going to lead hundreds of millions of my compatriots back to the top of the world. I...

When Liu Ye was lost in thought, a gentle voice sounded beside him: "Hey, are you awake?"

Liu Ye's heart trembled upon hearing this, and he struggled to look to the side—what a beautiful woman! She was so beautiful that words couldn't describe it! Such a beautiful celestial being could exist in this dilapidated temple!

A 29-year-old girl came to Liu Ye with a bowl of water in her hand and said softly, "You've been unconscious for four or five days. You look like a general. Thank goodness God has saved your life. Have a drink of water first..."

The soft voice was like the sound of nature. Liu Ye had never been so close to a beautiful woman in his two lives. She was so beautiful that he couldn't die. If he had done it for his country before, he had to add one more thing to his life in the future. He must catch up with this female Bodhisattva. She is mine!

Especially those charming eyes with flowing waves, looking around with spirit; that skin that is as delicate as a baby's, as white as snow! Guo Ye is now seriously injured and has long lost his original firm will. His defenses collapsed in an instant. So this is what love is like for a person!

Liu Ye's eyes revealed a strong desire to survive. Being alive was more important than anything else! However, he didn't know how this girl had managed to bring him back to life despite his severe injuries.

But he remembered clearly that because he threw the monk king out, he was a step too late and was blown away by the huge shock wave of the shell and fell into the Tonghui River. This place was obviously not by the river, so he must have been carried far away by the river and was rescued by this girl.

But, the girl just said three days, has she been unconscious for such a long time?

Liu Ye struggled to sit up, but as soon as he raised his body, severe pain surged all over his body. Damn it, it seemed that it would take some time for him to recover from his injuries.

The girl quickly stopped Liu Ye with her hands and said softly, "Hero, don't move lightly. Your injuries are still very serious."

Liu Ye nodded slightly and replied: "Thank you for saving my life, but I have been in a coma for three days."

The girl replied, "Well, it's been three and a half days since I met you."

"So how's the war going on up ahead?"

The girl smiled and whispered, "It seems that the imperial army was driven away by the foreigners. The Tonghui River is littered with corpses. I heard that the foreigners are besieging Beijing. I wonder if the capital is still there. Those foreigners are really fierce..."

Liu Ye's heart was shocked and he felt sad. He had tried his best but still couldn't change the trend of history. Damn it, that cannonball exploded in his direction. If it weren't for the monk king, maybe he wouldn't have ended up like this. However, if he didn't help, the monk king would definitely be killed!

In three or four days, I'm afraid the capital will fall. Relying solely on those Green Camp soldiers, they will definitely not be able to withstand the crazy attack of the British and French coalition forces. I'm afraid that the entire capital area will be looted...

Liu Ye sighed deeply and whispered, "Miss, I still have some money on me. Could you please get me some trauma medicine..."

The girl smiled and said, "Trauma medicine? If I had waited until you woke up to buy you medicine, you'd probably be dead. Don't worry, I already have medicine. I've already applied it and bandaged you. I really don't know how you got these injuries. There are seven or eight cuts on your back alone. If you hadn't met me and my father, you would have really died..."

As they were talking, the temple door rang and an old man walked in, calling out, "Xiao E, is the person awake?"

The girl hurriedly called out, "Daddy, he's awake. I just gave him some porridge..."

As he said this, the old man had already walked in front of Liu Ye.

Liu Ye looked up and was shocked. The old man was dressed very simply. He was about fifty or sixty years old. He was not very tall, and he was neat and tidy. His eyes were bright, his breath was steady, and his brilliance was restrained!

Master!

This person is definitely a martial arts master!

Liu Ye has lived two lives and has met dozens of martial arts masters. He has a sharp eye and can tell at a glance that the old man in front of him is definitely a first-class master with profound attainments in martial arts. You can tell from his eyes alone, they are shining brightly!

Liu Ye nodded slightly and thanked him, "Junior Liu Ye, thank you very much for saving my life. I am seriously injured and it is inconvenient for me to greet you. I hope you can forgive me!"

The old man was shocked. This general used the jargon of the martial arts world, and he actually saw through his whereabouts!

The old man nodded without saying much and replied, "Judging from your attire, you must be a general in the army. What is your address?"

Liu Ye whispered, "General? Hehe, just a defeated general. My surname is Liu, and my given name is Ye. I hold the position of General of Baoding Town."

The old man was startled, then seemed to remember something and asked solemnly, "Could it be that you are General Liu Ye, who fought in the bloody battle of Dagukou, pacified Jiangdong, and achieved unparalleled achievements in his time?"

Liu Ye nodded and said with a wry smile, "You occupy a high position, but you can't protect the country and the people. What kind of general are you? How can you be considered an unrivaled leader? Your words are truly embarrassing for me..."

The old man sighed and replied, "General Liu, I have heard about your story. How can one man's strength defy fate? The Qing Dynasty has been around for over two hundred years. It is on the decline and will eventually fall. The cycle of power is normal. The only thing that cannot change is the people, the tens of millions of ordinary people living on the land of China. They will never be replaced. General Liu, do you think that you can stop this historical trend with your own strength? Do you think that you can repel tens of thousands of foreigners with your own strength?"

Liu Ye replied calmly, "How can we know if we don't try? Since the sun is setting, it won't be long before it rises again, right?"
