Summer Palace.

The summer is getting thick, and the green willows are reflected, and a cool breeze blows from the lake not far away. Cixi lay leisurely on the couch, and in front of her, Li Lianying stood there respectfully.

"Lao Fu, everything has been arranged, but, don't you go back to the palace first..."

Li Lianying spoke with a hint of nervousness.

As a second-rank eunuch, not only did he break the fact that eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty were not allowed to be officials, but he also held a very high position. Li Lianying can be said to be Cixi's confidant. However, as a eunuch, Li Lianying still had his own weakness after all.

At this moment, as he spoke, Cixi couldn't help but show a slight disappointment in her eyes again.

Li Lianying is loyal to her. However, Li Lianying is not only greedy for money, but also has no vision, but it makes her very helpless.

However, a slight flash of disappointment, Cixi still spoke slowly. Although Li Lianying's ability disappointed her, on the other hand, if Li Lianying was not ambition or vision, but was ambitious and had super abilities, she would be afraid that she would not be happy.

"You have to remember that it was the emperor who started the war, and the reckless man who killed the German minister was the Boxer Regiment... At this time, the Ai family was just an old woman who lost her power and could not do anything..."

Cixi looked at Li Lianying and spoke slowly.

During this period, Guangxu, Tan Sitong and others were moving, the British were moving, and the great powers were moving, how could Cixi do nothing?

People in later generations only thought that Cixi was short-sighted and did not know anything. However, as a woman who could destroy the eight ministers of life, kill a queen mother of the same status as her, and then monopolize the power of the people, how could Cixi look short-sighted?

This is a smart woman, but it is precisely because she is too smart that she knows more than anyone else what it means to give up.

When Cao Zixia said from Shandong that she was coming to Peking to talk to the German minister, not only Seymour began to attack Cao Zixia, but also Cixi began to attack Cao Zixia.

After something went wrong in the Tianjin arena, Cixi quickly adjusted her strategy, but what she thought of was a plan like Seymour.

Kill the German minister to blame Cao Zixia, and then directly let the people who lurked into Yihequan go to war, and then declare war in the name of the emperor, creating a situation of confrontation between the emperor and the great powers, and using the power of the great powers to clean up the emperor's powers.

As for the scale of this war, Cixi's worst plan was to defeat the entire Zhili area. What else? Can those great powers still occupy Peiping without leaving?

However, only with such a war, the emperor will never have any possibility of complete power.

In order to protect the country of this ancestor, the Ai family has tried their best to make the little boy play with some reforms. This country can still have the surname Aisin Gioro...

Cixi looked at Li Lianying, who was still stunned after hearing her words, and then sighed helplessly and looked at the place where the water and sky were in the distance, looking quite tired.

At the gate of the city, Cao Zixia held a long sword on the neck of the green camp general. He was about to say something, but suddenly, the dense footsteps of the street corners sounded, and then, Li San's voice sounded loudly under the eaves at his feet.

"Go quickly, go quickly, it's the foreigners' musket team, the foreigners' musket team..."

A roared out of Li San's mouth with a horror voice.

Although they are all musket teams, the Green Camp and the Foreigners are by no means the same concept. The former is to survive and die, which is to be at the Husky level, while the latter is definitely at the Hungry Wolf level.

The foreigners' musket team...

However, when he heard the footsteps and Li San's cry, Cao Zixia slightly shook the handle of the knife on his hand.

Since he wanted to get involved in the Gengzi Year, he would sooner or later face the foreign army. Now, the foreign musket team that appeared in Peking City happened to be used to practice.

"I don't want to be killed by foreigners' firearms later, so I'll take your people out..."

Cao Zixia's wrist trembled and threw the green camp general out directly.

The latter figure fell to the ground, his chest was rising and falling, looking at the foreign musket team that had gradually become clear on the street corner, and then looked at Cao Zixia again, as if he wanted to say something, but when his hands came to support him like a frightened partridge, and then when he was almost running away without hesitation, the green camp general's chest, which had been rising and falling, suddenly shriveled, as if he had scattered his courage, seemed to have scattered clean in an instant.

"Damn, are you crazy in your special code? The foreigners' musket team is not the same as the Green Camp..."

On the street and under the eaves, Li San watched Cao Zixia hold his long sword tightly, as if he was planning to play with the foreign musket team. He became crazy. The thin man's figure rushed to Cao Zixia like a shadow and shouted loudly.

"I always have to fight, keep myself safe and take me to save Tan Sitong later..."

Cao Zixia's wrist trembled, grabbed Li San, and then threw it on the roof of the house next to the street as if throwing a package.

He threw Li San out, then looked at the foreign musket team that had already begun to aim at the distance, Cao Zixia's figure was slightly lowered, and the man rushed out like a fast leopard.

At this time, the foreign musketeers appeared on the corner of the street about 70 or 80, and the arranged formation was a famous three-stage style. Almost when Cao Zixia jumped out, these foreign musketeers had already started shooting.

The dense bullets began to gather fire at Cao Zixia. It has to be said that the combat qualities of foreign musketeers in this era are indeed top-notch. Almost in an instant, Cao Zixia could feel at least more than twenty bullets coming towards the front and rear directions of his figure. The foreign musketeers who fired the guns actually blocked any possibility of his dodging forward and back when they fired.

The figure became even lower. Cao Zixia was already swam rapidly on the ground like a huge four-legged snake. At the same time, his trajectory began to pull out an exaggerated S shape.

The long sword was lifted up by Cao Zixia and the scabbard. In the clear bullet trajectory, Cao Zixia occasionally encountered a bullet that could not dodge and directly greeted the scabbard.

Although more than eighty people were in a three-stage style, the reloading speed of rifles was already extremely fast in this era, so Cao Zixia was facing the locking of eighty bullets almost every moment.

However, under Cao Zixia's inhumanity, most of the bullets were directly avoided by him, while a few bullets that could not be avoided were directly blocked by the scabbard he lifted.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Zixia had already rushed halfway from the musketeers, and at this time, no matter how elite musketeers were, they began to panic.
