The beacon fire stretched straight to the east like a dragon. Juyongguan was directly reporting to the capital, but Huanghuayu on the northern route was not the end point. The beacon fire actually continued towards Zunhua and Qian'an.
Four hours after the beacon fire in the capital was lit, that is, in the evening of the same day, the last beacon fire was lit in Shanhaiguan, the starting point of the Great Wall in the east. This long seal dragon on the land of China was completely on fire!
On the busy shipping lanes of the Strait of Malacca in the far south, the returning Zhiyuan Fleet is sailing toward the Lion City of Singapore, escorted by British warships.
Xiao Letian, who had encountered a storm in the Bay of Bengal before and had not been seasick for a long time, suddenly vomited and lay in bed groaning.
Half asleep and half awake, Xiao Letian seemed to be on a jetliner again, and this time the company manager generously reimbursed him for the first-class cabin.
The front of the soft sofa is very spacious, and you can relax your legs. The champagne is bubbling. This is his reason after the successful business negotiation. The beautiful and outrageous flight attendant keeps licking him.
But the lustful Xiao Letian actually changed his gender today because he was attracted by the wonderful scenery outside the window!
The Great Wall came to life under the plane. Along the Great Wall, fire shot into the sky. The fire burned away the dead grass and dust, and burned away the earth and city bricks covering the golden dragon.
The temperature of the fire was so high that it even burned the rocks. The golden dragon, which was soaked in red magma, struggled painfully. The old dragon of Shanhaiguan roared and set off huge waves in the entire East China Sea!
"Alive! The Great Wall is alive...the seal is lifted...alive..."
"What's wrong? What's wrong, Master... What's wrong with the Head of State... Send Doctor Huang quickly..." Xiang Ying, who had been waiting outside the cabin, quickly rushed in with his people, and saw Xiao Letian, who was sleeping and dancing. Woolen cloth!
Xiao Letian was sweating profusely after being woken up. Doctor Huang quickly took his pulse, "Worrying hurts the liver! Head of state, you have to rest... You must stay in Singapore for ten more days..."
"We have to let the head of state take a good rest... In the past few years in Europa, the head of state has almost exhausted all his hard work!"
Xiao Letian wiped his cold sweat and said to Wang Huaiyuan, "Go and ask Shi Yi... Master Shi is here! I have something to say... Send someone to send a report to the country and ask about the latest situation!"
Shi Yi also means amnesia, which is Shi Dakai's pseudonym in Europe. This time King Yi also returned to the country with the brigade, and the intelligence and diplomatic systems across Europe began to be formalized and reorganized.
Soon only Yi Wang and Xiao Letian were left in the cabin. This was the first historical celebrity that Xiao Letian, the brother of life and death, met after traveling through time.
In fact, King Yi, Old Shopkeeper Fan Lian and others, including the veterans of the Northern Expedition of the Kingdom of Heaven on top of Taibai, all could guess that Xiao Letian's identity was very unusual and he should not be from this world. They all thought that Xiao Letian came from From heaven.
"Brother... Something must have happened in the north. I can't tell whether it's good or bad... I just feel like a power suddenly arises..."
"In my dream, I saw the sealed dragon under the Great Wall come to life!"
King Yi grabbed Xiao Letian's hand and said, "Steady... You are the head of the Chinese nation. Even if you have a terrible premonition, you must hold back... You can't mess up. If you mess up, what will the people below think?"
"I believe you! You came here on the wind and thunder, you are the real hidden dragon... I believe all your premonitions!"
"Tell me slowly...Tell me slowly..."
The two of them talked in the cabin for a long time, and finally Wing King Shi Dakai drank several glasses of whiskey: "Brother! Now we can only wait... You can rest in Singapore for a few more days and wait for the telegram to be delivered..."
"If something big happens these days... something big that can correspond to your dreams!"
"Haha... No one believes you if you say you are not a hidden dragon!"
Xiao Letian smiled bitterly and poured himself a glass of wine. "Brother, come back to China with me! In fact, your worries no longer exist... After the Chinese code is passed, people's hearts will be settled! No one will hold you hostage... "
Shi Dakai shook his head, "I won't go. I plan to disembark in Borneo and have fun for a few years... Isn't Nanyang so big not enough for me to play with?"
"I'm tired. I really don't want to go back to China..."
Hey...the two of them let out a long sigh at the same time, who isn't tired? How can it be so easy to return to this Chinese homeland!
These people in the returning fleet don't know what is happening in the country, but the capital is completely in chaos at this moment!
The officers of the Changping County Government and the local garrison, including the sentries from the Xishan Camp, all rode back to Sijiu City on fast horses. Within two hours, the idle men of the Eight Banners who were like long-tongued women in the huge Sijiu City arrived. Spread the shocking news to everyone.
"My lords... Something big happened today!"
"Are you talking about the incident at Juyong Pass in Changping?"
"That's right, you've also heard about it... There are two meat shops in front of you, let me go have some drinks... and take a walk!"
As soon as a few people opened the door curtain of the second meat shop, there was already a buzz of people inside, and everyone was talking about what happened today!
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, but there really are no seats... Or do you want to share a table with someone you know well?"
"Isn't this a shameless person? Come here, come here... Let's share a table here..."
People gathered together and started talking in whispers before the food and wine were served.
"Your news is no longer new... The eldest son of Guiziliu in Xishan Daying, Zai Cheng, led his troops and captured Juyong Pass!"
"The six old soldiers who lighted the beacon fire have all been arrested and interrogated... Hundreds of officials and princes from the capital went into the Forbidden City overnight to discuss this strange matter with the two empress dowagers!"
"Drink a few more drinks...Fortunately there is no curfew, fortunately there is no curfew!"
In the New Army camp deep in Yuquan Mountain, Zai Cheng, with ferocious features, faced the execution scene outside and said fiercely, "Wick me! Beat him hard! Ask him who instigated it?"
"Light a beacon? Damn it, can you light this beacon casually? That's what the Han people used to guard against our Manchu ancestors!"
"I'm still alive to see the market. This thing has been useless for two hundred years, but it can still smoke!"
Juyongguan was completely in a semi-abandoned state during the Qing Dynasty. Since there were no enemies in the north to defend, there was no army stationed here. However, as an important road to control trade routes, it was still necessary to leave some soldiers to collect taxes and build roads.
The huge Juyong Pass is only guarded by more than 20 veterans from the Green Camp in Changping!
These old soldiers have been recruited from the beginning, but they can't stand it and Zai Cheng doesn't believe it!
"Master Belle! I'm really not lying, slave... It's really a rule passed down by word of mouth... I'm not lying..."
"This is what my master taught me. He said that once there is black smoke at Yulin Fort, he should light a beacon on the wall... What exactly is this beacon used for? How do I know?"
"Fart! You don't know? I'll beat you for no idea...beat him to death!"
Guiziliu's eldest son is less than twenty years old this year, which is exactly the age for Hun Buqing. His father's power is so powerful that he has become a tyrant in the capital!
Beating a few old soldiers to death is nothing to him!
There was a steward of the palace nearby who couldn't stand it, leaned over and whispered, "Master Beile... maybe these old immortals are telling the truth!"
