Chapter 42: Conspiracy (2)

"Bang!" The firing needle hit the bullet fire together, making a crisp sound, but this was not the kind of explosion that Zhou Degui expected from the gun chamber. How could this be? Zhou Degui couldn't help but feel tight.

At this time, Lin Haifeng had already begun to turn around in the sound. Zhou Degui didn't bother to think too much, and clenched his teeth, "Bang bang bang..." and continued to hook the gun.

"Blind?" Lin Haifeng sat back on the chair, looking at Zhou Degui, whose face was twisted due to his rush, and kept tsk, "Oh, why are your luck so bad? Six consecutive bullets are all blind."

"Brother, don't work hard." Han Muyue from the inner room also hugged her arms in front of her chest, walked out leisurely, approached Zhou Degui and stretched out his hand, "Please hand me the gun, you can't do this thing well."

The blue veins on his forehead stormed, and Zhou Degui, who was covered in sweat in an instant, subconsciously retreated, and his blank eyes swept back and forth on Han Muyue and Lin Haifeng.

"What are you going to retreat? Are you still thinking about getting out of here?" Han Muyue stared at Zhou Degui angrily, and his mouth flew behind him, "Stop dreaming!"

Zhou Degui subconsciously turned his head again. The door behind him had opened at some point. Hou Yutian stood there coldly, fiddling with a few yellow bullets in his hands. It was not until this time that Zhou Degui seemed to suddenly wake up. His mind quickly turned into the situation where Hou Yutian fiddled with his gun not long ago, and he couldn't help but feel extremely regretful. Why didn't he expect that the gun would have been tampered with by others?

"Haha, even Chairman Yang praised you personally, and you have to be a great hero who has to be entrusted with important tasks. I didn't expect that the gift I gave you was enough to kill you?" Looking at Zhou Degui who was shot, Lin Haifeng smiled relaxedly, "To be honest, if you rely on you to help the Tsarist Russian devils obtain information from the Celestial Empire, it would take a lot of trouble if I really wanted to kill you. If someone fanned the flames and said something behind the scenes, maybe he would be punished again. Now, it's obvious that you are going to assassinate Lin, which will save me a lot of trouble."

"Master...Director..." Zhou Degui's Adam's apple moved up and down a few times, swallowing and spitting a few times, as if he was admitting his gambling, "Director, Zhou... Zhou can fall into the hands of the director, I...I'm dead without complaints. However, before dying, I still have a few words of truth to say to the director."

Lin Haifeng nodded and picked up his pipe.

Zhou Degui gritted his teeth, as if he had made up some determination, "Director, Zhou is not really the intention of being able to do what he is today. Since joining the Tianjun, Zhou has been devoted to being a man of the Tianqi and a ghost of the Tianqi. Otherwise, Zhou would not have fought back against the Northern King who was kind to Zhou and made great contributions to the suppression of the rebellion in Tianjing. The Director is Optimus Prime of the Tianqi. Everyone knows that Zhou also understands, not to mention that he has followed the director out of Beijing and Zhou has been highly supported by the director. How could Zhou do such a despicable thing easily? Unfortunately, the Tianqi is not so holy. He hopes that the Tianqi will be unlucky, and there are still many people who are looking forward to your downfall. Zhou is actually only controlled by others, so there will be..."

Lin Haifeng smiled.

Seeing Lin Haifeng laughing, Zhou Degui seemed to have received encouragement and took a step forward, "At present, Zhou is still alive. However, Zhou is a dying person after all, and he doesn't want those who hide behind Zhou to continue to laugh secretly. Zhou would rather make these people public to you, which is also considered Zhou's repayment to you."

"Forget it." Lin Haifeng squirted a heavy breath of smoke and smiled disdainfully, "Zhou Degui, why did you forget that I was still in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Celestial Empire? Let me tell you the truth, from the day you took you out of Beijing, I knew what you were going to do. You are like a chess piece in our hands, and you worked very hard to complete everything you should do according to our wishes. Now, you no longer have the value of use and it is time to set foot on your destination. Don't think that what you did in Luzhou

No one knows about those things, and don’t think I will believe that your rebellion against the King of Northern was sincere. Of course, don’t want to make trouble in front of me. Haha, do you want to tell me that you were instructed by someone who is in a key position? Do you still want to tell me how many accomplices you have? Don’t bother. If I am willing to listen to nonsense, maybe we should not fight against Tsarist Russia on the battlefield. The Qing Dynasty will fight, and I may not be able to kill myself."

"Director, I really want to eliminate the evil spirits for the Celestial Empire!" Zhou Degui didn't want to give up his last line of efforts. He knelt down at Lin Haifeng's table with a plop, and a few drops of tears were squeezed out from the corners of his eyes.

"Go to the ground to express your ancestors and confess to you!" Lin Haifeng was afraid of the table and his face turned pale, "You Han scum!"

In the northwest of the capital, which is still the Qing Dynasty, there is a magnificent scale, integrating various garden styles and using various ingenious gardening techniques. It can be called a large royal garden in the pinnacle of Chinese garden art history. This is the Old Summer Palace, known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". To be precise, this Old Summer Palace is actually a collection of large-scale gardens. It consists of the Old Summer Palace, its attached garden Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden, so it is also commonly known as the "Three Gardens of Yuanming".

The east of the Old Summer Palace is Changchun Garden, which is about one-third of the Old Summer Palace. It was a place where Qianlong built his abdicated person to live his life as the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor after he abdicated. The south of Changchun Garden is a large waterscape with a cheerful and sparse and dense overall layout. Its garden gate is the five-chamber palace gate of Changchun Garden. Outside the vermilion gate, there is a bronze qilin standing on both sides. A screen wall is built in the south. When you enter the door, you will be Danhuai Hall with nine pillars and rolled sheds and the top of the mountain. There is a moon platform Danbi in front of the east and west halls. The north of the main hall is a river bank, and a square pavilion is built, with a corridor connecting the main hall. The square pavilion faces west, and the ten-hole Changchun Bridge. When you cross the bridge to the north, you will pass through a mountain pass, which is the core building in the garden - a magnificent scale, somewhat similar to the Hanjing Hall complex in Ningshou Palace, the Forbidden City.

There are three archways in front of Hanjing Hall, with eight-character screen walls on both sides. The entrance is five pillars of Hanjing Hall. From there, further north, it is the most magnificent building among the Three Gardens of Yuanming - Chunhuaxuan. The west side of Hanjing Hall is Siyongzhai, and there are seventeen I-character halls. Siyongzhai is the north of Siyongzhai, which is the double-layer circular stone platform built on the lake surface, with three floors of the palace. The east side of Haiyue opens the neck is the immortal Cheng terrace, and Tainan is Qianyuan. Qianyuan wins with stones, known as the eight scenic spots of Qianyuan. The stone "green lotus" of the Southern Song Deshou Palace transported by Qianlong from Hangzhou. The east side of Hanjing Hall is Yulinglong Pavilion, He'anzhai, Yingqingzhai, Ruyuan, Jianyuan, and the northeast corner of the garden is the lion forest imitating Suzhou. From the north of the garden, we pass through Fahui Temple, Duobao Glazed Pagoda, Baoxiang Temple, Zelan Hall and other buildings, and we arrive at the Western Building.

The so-called Western Building, as the name suggests, is a group of European-style palace complexes, and is also the first large-scale imitation of Western architecture and gardens in the royal palaces of China. It includes six groups of Western-style buildings, three groups of fountains and countless courtyard sketches. The entire building complex is arranged on the east-west axis, with wired walls, square rivers, lined mountain, long Yingguan, Haiyantang, square appearance, harmonious and interesting, bird-raising cages, water storage buildings, Wanhua arrays and water-watching methods, etc. Its architecture, environment and style adopts the Baroque style, and the decorative details have an oriental charm.

Today, Empress Dowager Cixi is so charming about living in a Western building.

This is the earliest two-story Western-style building in Changchun Garden, with purple round glazed tiles on the roof and blue glazed grass on the roof. There are three rooms on the upper floor and seven rooms on the lower floor. The building is equipped with Western-style furniture and couches, and waxed floors with wooden strips. All the pillars are made of white marble, with Western-style flowers and grass patterns on it, and the windows are also exquisite brick and stone carvings.

The walls of the small building are pink, and there is a moon-style platform veranda on both sides. At the end of the veranda is a five-color glass-topped octagonal silhouette. There is a platform in the south of the building, and there are white jade stone benches on both sides. The two-story door on the platform is two Western stone lions in the middle and jade carved jade railings. Under the platform is a huge crabapple fountain. There is a large Western rock fish in the center. The fish has a big mouth that can stand up to an adult, and the water sprayed upwards is at least five feet high. Not only are there fish that can squirt water, there are eighteen copper geese and four copper sheep squirting water around the fountain. There are two small fountains in the east and west of the pond, and two small fountains under the veranda. This is really a paradise for squirting water!

However, Cixi now has long lost the comfort of her visiting the garden with Xianfeng. The capital, which is hot in July, has a good place to squirt water everywhere, but it is difficult to suppress the heat in her heart. She is sitting on pins and needles all day long, and she lives like a year.

Looking at the autumn water, Cixi changed her face today and burst into a rare smile because she finally looked forward to the person she was looking forward to the most.
