Cao Futian really felt that he had walked through the gate of hell. The feeling of cardiac arrest was so terrible. The steel knife was placed on his neck. His whole body was covered with sweat, and his crotch was wet and smelly.
His whole body was shaking, but he knew that he had made it through, and he finally made it through this level!
In the darkness, a tall horse walked slowly over. The person on the horse could not see clearly, but you could feel the murderous aura and aura of a superior person.
"How dare you show off in front of me like a little bug? Who do you think you are? How dare you offer me Tianjin Guard?"
Cao Futian also risked his life, "This lord, at first glance, is a general under the new king, a nobleman who has been granted the title of marquis and prime minister. I have a humble life, so naturally I dare not deceive you!"
"Cao Futian, a grassroots man, is a native of Tianjin Wei and the senior brother of the folk boxing of Yihe Quan. If you don't know nothing about the folk, I think this little name of Yihe Quan can still have some meaning. Heard it!”
Ronglu's eyes trembled, as if he saw a different light in the darkness!
"Sir! Common people don't have much ability, but they can pull out four to five hundred disciples and disciples at any time and anywhere at the altar in their hometown. There is no problem in serving you!"
"We set up altars to burn incense and invite gods to come down to earth. We also know some invulnerable magical skills...the ones just didn't work because they were drunk at night and missed women, so they didn't work!"
"If you were truly pious, you would never lose your head so easily..."
Ronglu just listened to his bragging without saying a word, and the steel knife on Cao Futian's neck was not removed. Cao Futian knew that he had not persuaded the other party yet, and this gentleman was not that easy to deceive.
"Sir... I know you don't believe me, so let me give you some more information!"
"Just north of Tianjin Wei Railway Station, there is a Jingwu Heroes Association. It is the property of King Longye of the Far East. Do you know?"
"Tonight, three Chinese military officers and adults from the Qing Dynasty studying abroad are all living in this Jingwu Hero Gate?"
"Oh?" Ronglu finally said, and Cao Futian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't you believe me? Let me tell you who they are. Are there a group of officials from the Qing Dynasty who studied in the navy and studied in the UK to form the navy of the Qing Dynasty?"
"These people's names are Yan Fu, Deng Shichang, Sa Zhenbing..." As the names were said one by one, the expression on Ronglu's face became more solemn.
In the end, Cao Futian also revealed his trump card: "There is also an Englishman, Gordon from the Foreign Gun Team...is also with them!"
"Ah! Lift the fire..." Rong Lu stopped pretending this time and ordered the torch to be lit. Cao Futian finally saw the true face of this gentleman.
Under the torch, Ronglu looked at Cao Futian, "Is everything you said true? If there is even the slightest bit of falsehood, your whole family, young and old, will not survive!"
"Sir... the common people dare to deceive you if they don't want their lives? Take a closer look at the three corpses escaping in front of you. They are Ouchi guards, and they are all high-ranking!"
"Search quickly..." Rong Lu immediately ordered. The waist knife around Cao Futian's neck was also removed. A group of rebels rushed over to search the body.
Sure enough, he really had a belt, and it was indeed an imperial sword made by Ouchi. He didn't dare to neglect and people brought the corpse over.
Ronglu jumped off his horse and took a closer look at the light of the torch. He gasped this time. Two of the three of them could be called by name, and one of them looked familiar, at least from the nod of friendship on the street.
"Haha... Who do I think I am? Two are servants of Prince Shuncheng, and one is a son of Prince Qing's family... They are all acquaintances!"
Cao Futian was finally relieved, his buttocks were soft on the ground and tears were streaming down his face, "Sir, I didn't lie to you. I beg you, please give me a chance to plead guilty and make meritorious service!"
"This member of the Jingwu Hero Sect spent more than one million silver, hired some martial arts masters, and went to rescue Hunchun under the command of naval officials!"
"Our grandma doesn't care about the trash that our uncle doesn't love, so she is sent here to die... Wuwuwu... Sir, give me a way to survive, and I will give you an idea to open Tianjin Wei's city gate!"
Ronglu looked at him and said, "What can you do?"
"Sir... of course I have a way. We are Yihequan. We ask God to come to the altar. There are countless people who believe in us!"
"The Tongzihe city defense system in the outer city of Tianjin was built when Seng Gelinqin was still alive. It was built to defend against Changmao and Nianzi. The project was huge..."
"I have experienced it all at that time. There were many civilians in our hometown... But just after the city was built, King Monk used the excuse of insufficient soldiers to recruit a group of people from the civilians and turned them into the green camp to defend the city. Soldiers!"
"These hometown people are inextricably linked to me. I secretly do some smuggling and tobacco business. I rely on them to cover up and transport it to the city!"
"I also used the altar to pray to God and help them with medical treatment, send ghosts, pray for blessings and other rituals. They also worshiped at my altar. They are all my disciples and disciples, and they also smuggle tobacco and soil together. make money……"
"Hehehe... Sir, tell me, can't I open this city gate?"
Ronglu's eyes lit up and he said in his heart that when luck comes, even the city walls can't stop it! To have such a talent come to me is really a blessing from my ancestors and good luck to me!
Ronglu didn't mind that he was stinky, so he grabbed Cao Futian's hand and pulled him up, "Haha...Cao Futian is the one! I tell you who I am, General Ronglu of Xi'an is me..."
"Now I abandon the dark side and join the bright side to follow Emperor Guangxu. In the future, when the new emperor enters the Forbidden City, I will also be a minister of the Dragon!"
"If you can really help me open the city gate, haha... A general's position cannot be lost. You will be rich and powerful!"
What else could Cao Futian say? He knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I've got my head cut off for you... If you don't mind, just accept me as your slave!"
"Hahaha... You are sensible and smart. I like smart people!"
"Follow me and open the gate of Tianjin Acropolis. You will have done a great job..."
Cao Futian stomped his feet, clapped his hands and smiled excitedly, "Master, don't worry, I already have a solution..."
Ronglu's 10,000 cavalrymen all stopped. The hooves of all the horses were wrapped in cloth, and bits were installed in the horses' mouths. Even the soldiers broke off a corn stalk and bit it in their mouths.
An army of 10,000 people quietly approached Tianjin Weixi City. Cao Futian and his men plus Ronglu's personal guards, a total of 150 people, approached Tianjin Wei City Wall in a slanderous manner.
At this time, Tianjin Wei had city walls, and it was quite large in scale. The original Sifang City was built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was very small and dilapidated.
In order to fight, Seng Gelinqin specially built Tongzi River and a brand-new city wall outside Tianjin Wei, and set up fourteen camp gates.
Why can't Xiao Letian and the others see it in future generations? That's because the Eight-Power Allied Forces captured Tianjin and ordered the Qing Dynasty to tear down the city wall in order to punish the Qing Dynasty for its resistance.
So far, Tianjin Wei has become the first city in China to destroy its city walls!
Cao Futian looked at the dark city wall, the angry wind lanterns and the dazed figures on it, then he lay on the ground and took out a whistle from his pocket.
Just when he was about to blow, a pair of big hands were placed on his shoulders!
