Master Yuan, start!

The scholars on both sides also followed the team forward.

Yuan Shikai acted as if nothing had happened and continued talking to Guangxu, but his voice was too soft for others to hear clearly.

"Your Majesty, this is the reason for this matter." After a few words, Yuan Xiangcheng finally explained the whole cause and effect clearly.

"I was in a coma for more than half a month? I thought I was in Yangxingzhai the whole time!" Guangxu was a little bit unbelievable, as if he was listening to a storybook novel.

"It is absolutely true. Your Majesty was drugged by that vicious woman. If I had not discovered it in time, I would probably not be able to see Your Majesty after today!" Yuan Xiangcheng looked loyal.

"Now we are like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. We can never go back to the palace!" Guangxu was very worried that he would never come back.

"Your Majesty, listen to me, and do this later."

Others didn't know what Guangxu was whispering to Yuan Shikai. They only saw the two of them communicating with each other and making gestures. They didn't look like a king and his subject, but more like good friends.

baBut whether it is the emperor, his ministers or his good friends, they all stated that there is indeed no problem with the health of the current emperor.

And there is nothing wrong with the emperor's brain, otherwise he would not have talked to Yuan Xiangcheng for so long.

During the conversation, Guangxu's body suddenly shook twice, as if he was blown by the wind and felt cold.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yuanxiangcheng took off his plain clothes and put them on the emperor, but it seemed not enough.

"You, come here!" Yuan Xiangcheng pointed at a guard beside the car.

"Ah?" The guard was a little confused for a moment and rode closer: "Master Yuan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

When Si heard the movement in Yuan Xiangcheng, the three guards leading the way slowed down their horses and turned around to look.

When he found that Yuan Xiangcheng wanted the guard to take off his coat to keep His Majesty warm, he was no longer vigilant, turned around and continued forward.

Just as the three of them turned around, the guard took off his clothes with both hands. Yuan Xiangcheng took advantage of the guard's unbuttoning, pulled out his sword and slashed at his face!

"what!"

A scream was heard, and the guard's yellow jacket was chopped into two pieces along with his arm before the buttons were even unbuttoned. The whole person rolled to the ground wailing.

Seeing the blood and flesh splattered, the crowd of onlookers immediately became chaotic.

Yuan Shikai seized the opportunity, dragged Guangxu out of the car, pushed Guangxu, who was wearing gray-blue clothes, into the crowd, and then picked up a knife to chop at the guards beside the car.

The guards only wanted to find Guangxu, but they were blocked by Yuan Shikai for a while and were forced to solve the problem first.

"Don't come over here, or I'll chop him down!"

Yuan Xiangcheng put his knife against the neck of the guard whose right arm was cut off and threatened him.

No one expected such chaos to happen, and Zhan Shaoan was certainly not expecting it.

A first-rank official actually committed violence in the street and intended to hurt people.

The most important thing is that he succeeded!

"Don't worry about him, go catch up with the emperor!" Zhan Shaoan knew that Yuan Xiangcheng was delaying time. He watched as the emperor in plain clothes blended into the crowd and disappeared.

Money 91? 310 (yi0$ long

If we don’t look for them now, it will be too late once all these scholars have run away!

Seeing the guards trying to get past him, Yuan Xiangcheng shouted, "Whoever dares to move! If anyone dares to take a step forward, I'll chop him down!"

The big knife left a bloody mark on his neck. Seeing this scene, the guards, out of consideration for their comradeship, did not dare to go beyond the line.

"What the hell are you doing?" Zhan Shaoan was furious and whipped his horse to make a charge.

Seeing their leader riding forward regardless of his life, the dozens of guards surrounding Yuan Xiangcheng quickly dodged.

Yuan Xiangcheng seized the opportunity and kicked the man with the broken arm out.

Then they rolled out of the encirclement one by one, mounted their horses and rushed towards the street entrance!

At this time, the scholars who were watching had already scattered like birds and beasts. They were wearing blue, gray, green and black clothes. No one could tell who was the emperor and who was an ordinary scholar.

Yuan Xiangcheng galloped on his horse without even having time to wipe the blood from his hands, and the reins almost slipped out of his hands!

Half a minute later, he finally got rid of the pursuers, left his horse in a small alley, and headed towards the safe house that had been prepared in the capital.

The aftermath of Yuan Shikai's killing in the street had just begun to spread.

After receiving the news that Guangxu had woken up, Cixi knew that the matter had been exposed. She immediately ordered the Nine-Gate Commander to close all the city gates and search the entire city, vowing to find Guangxu.

At the same time, an imperial decree was issued that night: "The Korean Governor-General Yuan Xiangcheng has been possessed by a demon, which is why he committed murder in the street. I hereby order that Yuan Xiangcheng be stripped of all his official posts and be arrested and imprisoned!"

He also explained that the current emperor was awakened by Yuan Xiangcheng's magic and was just cooperating in a play in front of everyone.

Notices and documents were quickly posted all over the city. Was it a case of evil spirits possessing the body, or was it a palace infighting?

Although a considerable number of scholars who were watching the wedding procession were arrested, many more people escaped.

According to their description, the emperor did not seem to be bewitched by evil spirits. He looked normal at the time and could communicate with others normally.

Instead, he had a conflict with the Queen Mother's sword-wielding guards!

Not long after the good news of the emperor's awakening came, the bad news that the governor had committed murder in the street and kidnapped the emperor swept across the capital like a strong wind.

What happened to the capital?

People were in a panic and every family closed their doors and windows for fear that the disaster would affect them.

At the same time, the entire city was under martial law, with soldiers guarding the streets and intersections. No matter who passed by, their faces had to be compared with the faces on the posted documents.

...

However, Yuan Xiangcheng, who was hiding in the city, had no time to worry about these trivial matters.

On the second day, he disguised himself slightly, changed into another set of clothes, and limped along the path towards another safe house in the capital.

"when!"

"Dang Dang!"

"when!"

After knocking on the door twice slowly and once quickly, Yuan Xiangcheng pushed it open and walked in.

After taking off his patched camouflage uniform, Yuan Xiangcheng asked in a low voice, "How many people are left in the capital right now?"

8608045 Fu Fei Group

"There are less than a hundred people, including some Korean scholars and newspaper editors." Mingye had been waiting in the house for a long time.

"Have you transferred Prince Chun?"

"After the wedding procession became disorganized, someone was sent to inform Prince Chun."

"Where is Guangxu now?"

"I was placed in a Han people's house in the south of the city. I'm out of danger for now."

Hearing that Guangxu and his son were safe, Yuan Xiangcheng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this righteousness was there, he could fight Cixi in the capital!

When Yuan Shikai first went to Beijing, he only brought more than a thousand troops, scattered in the southeast of the capital.

Although there were hidden troops who had been ambushed in the capital city, there were only dozens of them and they could not form a large-scale combat force.

It was more than enough to play the role of a zombie, spread rumors, and cover Guangxu's escape from the crowd in the middle of the night.

But once they faced the troops of the Nine Gates Commander-in-Chief or even the Jiashen Central Army in Nanyuan, the capital, it was far from enough.

Not to mention that in addition to the Jiashen Central Army, there were also the Jiashen Front, Left, and Rear Armies near the capital, as well as tens of thousands of Zhili training troops.

Even if these people are useless, even if they are tens of thousands of pigs, Yuan Xiangcheng cannot catch them all with the more than a thousand people under his command.

If you want to turn the tables, swollen D+:...lin Qilu 9%, Samarium can only rely on Korea's Jiashen Right Army!

However, before that, he needs to gain as much sympathy and support as possible.

Holding the wanted notice issued by Cixi in his hand, Yuan Xiangcheng sneered:

"Humph, if you want to compete with me in the spread of public opinion, wait another 100 years!"

On the third day, the newspapers that published the heavyweight secrets of the Demon Queen were widely circulated in the capital!

"The Queen Mother is possessed by a ghost and wants to harm the Emperor!"

"The old Buddha is possessed by a Western demon, which is why he has been desperately trying to cede territory and pay compensation in recent years. That's the other party's return gift to my mother's family!"

"Have you heard of this story that's been going viral in Nanzhili for the past two years? It says that the Empress Dowager is a fox spirit from the Western Mountains, intent on stealing the dragon energy of the Qing Dynasty. This is why she killed one emperor after another. Only now has she encountered Yuan Xiangcheng, the guardian lion of the nation, to stop her. Otherwise, the current emperor wouldn't have survived this year!"

It's not scary if the stories are all fake, the most frightening thing is the rumors that are half true and half false. The people of the capital couldn't help but think:

In the past two years, we have indeed ceded a lot of land and paid a lot of compensation. If the enemy was strong and we were weak, it would be fine, but in the Sino-French War, we clearly captured the enemy's generals, so why did we still have to sign a contract to cede land?

First, Emperor Wenzong Xianfeng died suddenly in Rehe, then Emperor Muzong Tongzhi died of illness in the capital, and some time ago it was the turn of the current Emperor Guangxu who fell into a coma and was dying. It seems that it is true as the rumors say, that the Empress Dowager is unlucky for the emperor?

When Cixi learned of these rumors against him, she was naturally furious and ordered the Nine Gates Commander-in-Chief to strike back.

Except for the Beihua Jiebao in Dongjiaomin Lane, which was unable to enter, all newspaper offices in the capital were immediately sealed off, and a large number of young scholars working in the newspaper industry were arrested, imprisoned, and tortured!

However, the editors of Yuan Shen's tabloid had abandoned their equipment and hidden in the city after printing the last issue, so Cixi's efforts were destined to be in vain.

The Empress Dowager's party, which was originally quite powerful, was destroyed after the yamen runners broke into people's homes to search, Yuan Shikai instigated public opinion, and Cixi's actions that harmed innocent people.

His favorability among the people and scholars in the capital has reached freezing point.

Chapter 124 The Rise of the Sun 7

Beijing City, inside Yuanshun Escort Agency.

"How is the security situation in the Ministry of Justice Prison?" Wang Wu asked while sharpening his knife.

"Last night I took some people to check it out. The Infantry Yamen mobilized personnel to search the entire city. Half of the gatekeepers were gone, and the jailers were all brought out to keep up appearances!"

Wang Wu excitedly clenched his fist and waved it: "Good, very good!"

After Guangxu was kidnapped, Cixi launched a large-scale arrest campaign in the capital, labeling all the scholars who had previously been involved in the rumors as accomplices of Yuan Shikai. After being identified one by one, they were thrown into the Ministry of Justice prison.

As the main person who spread the rumor of corpse-driving in Xiangxi, Tan Sitong was naturally arrested and thrown into jail.

So Wang Wu decided to break into the prison and save the people.

But Wang Wu's desire to save someone doesn't mean others are willing to do the same: "Master Wu, this is the Ministry of Justice's prison, is it possible?"

"There would be no chance of this happening in previous years, but I think it can be accomplished now." Wang Wu sharpened the ring-handled broadsword and sprayed a mouthful of water on it, looking very domineering.

Wang Wu was talking about the frequent riots in the capital in recent days.

Everyone would be scared if a city of one million people was suddenly locked down!
