Chapter 49 Along the Street
When he put Liu Yutian in a sack, Li Xiake deliberately looked into his breath and found that he had not fallen to death when he threw him out of the wall just now. He then felt relieved. He tied his mouth with a rope, placed it horizontally on the horse's back, clamped his legs, and the black war horse neighed and ran towards the city gate quickly.
At this time, the sound of the military horns had already sounded on Baiyu Mountain, and the riots were getting closer and closer. Li Xiake did not dare to neglect and urged his horse to go straight to the city gate.
The war horse ran very fast, and even with Li Xiake and Liu Yutian, it was still effortless.
It was late at night, and the sound of horse hooves came from afar in the quiet night, which shocked the residents on both sides of the street to bark continuously.
The war horse galloped and was about to reach the city gate. Li Xiake turned over and dismounted, tied the horse in the shadow, and then quickly approached the soldiers guarding the city along the base of the wall.
He jumped and ran with all his might, jumped behind the guard, pulled out the sword in his hand, slashed in the air, and killed one person. Before the blood of this person had splashed out, he had already rushed to another patrol soldier.
Although Lushun City is not small, there are not many soldiers guarding the gate. After he slaughtered two people one after another, the soldiers in the sentry discovered that it was inappropriate. However, before they could blow the whistle and warn, Li Xiake had already broken into the city tower, and without hesitation in his hand, he killed the two people again with a few "puff" sounds.
He used cold weapons and killed all the soldiers on the city gate tower. The soldiers patrolling the city wall outside realized that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted the warning.
But at this time, Li Xiake had already run into the door opening, and when the trumpet sounded, the city gate was also opened by him.
"Noisy, noisy!"
Li Xiake returned to the war horse and urged the horse to move forward. He laughed wildly, and after passing through the city gate, he headed straight ahead.
At this time, the full moon was hanging high in the sky, and the moonlight shone on the ground, as if a layer of white frost was covered with white frost. The wind blew the trees and the branches shook. Amid the sound of gunfire at the head of Lushun City, Li Xiake had already run away.
He ran in the middle of the night, walking on small roads and catching mountain roads. After dawn, he didn't know where he had gone.
But he was not in a hurry, and led his horse to walk a few miles from the mountain and arrived in a small town.
"Come on the bowl of tofu brain, two pounds of fried dough sticks!"
It was morning at this time. Although the town was depressed, there was still a breakfast selling on the street. Li Xiake walked to the stall and sat down, put Liu Yutian in the sack out: "Liu Yutian, come out for dinner!"
Liu Yutian was bumped into the sack and had a severe pain all over his body. His mind was drowsy and almost died. After Li Xiake released it out of the sack, he was spread on the ground and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
After standing up and seeing Li Xiake clearly, his legs became weak and he collapsed to the ground again: "Li Xiake! You are Li Xiake!"
Li Xiake smiled and said, "Do you know me? That's right. I heard that you just came back from Tokyo and you should have heard of my name!"
Liu Yutian shivered and his eyes kept rolling. At this time, he was wearing only a pair of shorts. When the wind blew, he had goose bumps all over his body. Although Li Xiake did not tie his hands and feet with a rope, he did not dare to run away.
Although this person is a hardcore traitor, he is extremely smart. He knows that he can't escape from Li Xiake's palm at this time. If he wants to survive, he can only follow Li Xiake's wishes for the sake of his current plan and find an opportunity to contact the Japanese army, so that he can escape. I am afraid that Li Xiake will not give him a chance and cut it off with an unreasonable knife. Even if he has the ability to spit lotus flowers on his mouth, he has no choice but to do anything at this time.
The old man who sold breakfast was shocked when he saw that Li Xiake actually released someone from his horse. He thought he was about to run away when he encountered a beard, but was stopped by Li Xiake: "Old man, don't run away! If you leave, I'll go there for dinner?"
He smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, the person in my bag is not someone else, he is the big traitor Liu Yutian! Do you know Liu Yutian?"
This old man didn't know that traitors are not traitors. Seeing that Li Xiake didn't seem to be trying to kill someone, he felt a little relaxed: "Good man, I'm a small businessman, I have nothing to respect you, so you can spare me!"
Li Xiake was too lazy to explain to him and shouted: "Take the tofu brain over, and bring the fried dough sticks over!"
After the old man put the fried dough sticks and tofu brains on the table with trembling, Li Xiake glanced at Liu Yutian: "Let's have dinner! You are still safe before I thought about how to kill you!"
Liu Yutian's heart was cold. Li Xiake's words were said lightly and sounded like he had no murderous intentions, but it was this plain tone that scared Liu Yutian the most.
Since he saw the Japanese army's strength in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, he admired the Japanese army from the bottom of his heart, especially when he saw them killing his compatriots, he felt an inexplicable pleasure. The local officials who did not take him seriously in the past, the beautiful ladies who had always wanted to touch him, all shook their tails and begged for mercy like dogs after the Japanese army entered the city. This sense of pleasure is really hard to describe.
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing court launched a pursuit of him. In desperation, Liu Yutian went to a Japanese school to work as a Chinese teacher with the help of the Japanese army. At the same time, he learned how to train spies in order to prepare for returning to the country to train more traitors to be loyal to the emperor.
But a few days ago, just when he was a good teacher in Japan, a Chinese named Li Xiake suddenly appeared in Tokyo, killed the Emperor's family, burned the palace, and even the Prime Minister and the Navy general were killed by him!
When Liu Yutian heard this news, he looked disbelief. Chinese people, like dogs, knew that they would run away when they met the Japanese army. Are there such crazy peoples among these lower nations?
Liu Yutian, who lived in Tokyo for a while, saw the prosperity of Tokyo and the advancement of the Japanese army, became increasingly despised his identity as a Chinese, looked down on the Chinese, and was ashamed of being a Chinese.
But because he looked down on the Chinese people very much, it became increasingly difficult to understand after hearing about Li Xiake's assassination of the King of the King in Tokyo. When did such a bold madman appear among the backward, ignorant, timid and cowardly Chinese?
He suddenly became scared.
Originally, he thought that after Japan occupied China, he could also obtain a fiefdom in the three northeastern provinces. However, after Li Xiake appeared, he suddenly gave up this idea and wanted to sell all his real estate in Lushun, and then return to Japan to be a rich man, who would never go to Middle-earth for life.
But what he didn't expect was that his property was just sold and he was caught by Li Xiake before he could go back.
If Li Xiake had come three days late, he would probably have returned to Japan at this time.
Seeing Li Xiake's tone now, Liu Yutian's face turned pale and tried his best to defend himself: "Xia Li, I was forced to do it too. When the Qing army started a war with the Japanese army and fled without a fight, even if I didn't lead the way, they would sooner or later enter Jinzhou. This disaster in Lushun cannot be avoided! In terms of guilt, the leaders of the Qing army at that time were the culprits!"
Li Xiake ignored his defense and said lightly: "Eat! Give you a quarter of an hour to breathe and eat, and you will be hungry if you don't eat."
Liu Yutian was shocked and his heart was completely desperate.
Li Xiake treated him like a pig or a dog, and did not listen to him at all. Whether he made excuses or begged, Li Xiake just ignored it.
At this time, how could Liu Yutian still eat?
While he was stunned, Li Xiake had finished eating, picked up the sack again, and looked at Liu Yutian under his head: "Okay, it's time to let the wind go!"
He ignored Liu Yutian's struggle and put him in a sack again, threw him a few copper coins to the old man who bought food, and asked, "Are there any irons in this town?"
The old man trembled and said, "The east end of the town is a blacksmith shop..."
Li Xiake led his horse to the east end of the town, woke up the blacksmith, and used a knife to force them to shoot himself a pure iron gun, and then rode his horse away.
In the process of building the iron gun, Li Xiake had already figured out how to deal with Liu Yutian.
