Chapter 3 Who Am I

  The governor sneered: "Liu Yikun, don't blame me. The imperial court has decreed that all rioters who oppose the foreigners must be killed to warn a hundred!"

  If Liu Yikun had listened to Kong's words and waited for a while, he would have received news that many righteous men of the Boxers in Tianjin and Beijing did not fall under the foreigners' cannon fire, but were eventually beheaded by the Qing government.

  Their heads were given to the foreigners by Empress Dowager Cixi, also known as Liu Yikun's old Buddha, as a gesture of goodwill for peace talks.

  Liu Yikun couldn't believe what the governor said, he was helping the Qing dynasty fight a war! He had spent all his family's wealth to help the imperial court! Even his own life was not spared, could it be that in the end, the one who would take his life was this very imperial court?

  His hands began to shake and his entire head went blank with anger and grievance.

  The governor looked around and said, "Is there one more?"

  Zhao Yanhui felt a little frightened: "I clearly brought both of them here..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yikun's body suddenly burst forth and charged towards the county magistrate! He finally understood that this imperial court really wanted to kill him!

  The prefect was greatly alarmed: "Fire! Kill him!"

  A burst of gunfire rang out, and several blood holes appeared on Liu Yikun's body, with blood gushing out. His body went limp, and he couldn't charge forward anymore. A smile spread across his face - Brother Biao, you must have heard the gunshots, right?

  Another Russian came in at the gate, Liu Yikun knew him. This guy led a group of Russians to besiege himself for half a year. As a result, more than 500 brothers of Liu Yikun were killed and only over 200 people were left. The thousands of soldiers under this guy's command also suffered casualties of more than half.

  The battlefield did not distinguish between victory and defeat, but now it has been distinguished, Liu Yikun lost!

  The governor's high and mighty face disappeared immediately, replaced by a flattering expression: "Heh heh, General Broff, the person you want is already here, he's dying soon."

  Brodov didn't look at the local official, but with a proud expression on his face, he walked up to Liu Yikun, who was still breathing, and kicked him in the head with his boot: "Cut off this head, I want to take it back to Russia. You can keep the body, hang it on the city gate as an example. And there's another group of bandits on that Gulu Mountain, you must be responsible for eliminating them, because of these bastards, more than 400 brave Russian soldiers sacrificed their lives in Changbai Mountain, they need to pay the price."

  "Yes, yes! What are you staring at? Don't help General-sama cut off his head!"

  Several soldiers rushed over, a sharp knife slowly cutting through Liu Yikun's skull. Liu Yikun's legs were still trembling, and when others cut off his head, he had not yet stopped breathing...

  The top of the mountain is a small hill on Changbai Mountain, where the terrain is treacherous and there are no local hunters to guide you. You can't even tell which hill is which. Most importantly, artillery fire is useless here.

  Liu Yikun took advantage of this terrain to give the Russians a good fight. Now Liu Yikun is dead, Jin Dadao sits on a tree stump drinking heavily with his eyes bloodshot and staring at Biaozi who is covered in blood without saying a word, his gaze is extremely frightening.

  Next to him was Liu Xianhe, who was crying, the only son of Liu Yikun, just 18 years old this year: "Uncle Jin, all uncles, you must avenge my father! My father died unjustly!"

  Jin Dadao didn't say a word, his eyes fixed on Gu Tianming. Gu Tianming was originally a hunter, if it wasn't for Liu Yikun saving his life back then, he would have been killed by Jin Dadao ten years ago.

  Now looking at Jin Dadao's gaze, he hesitated and dodged his eyes. He was originally an honest man, to repay Liu Yikun's lifesaving grace, he could bring people to follow Liu Yikun to serve the court, but let him kill officials and rebel? His courage was clearly not enough.

  Jin Dadao slammed the bowl in his hand to the ground and cursed loudly: "Damn it! You're all a bunch of useless things, back then Liu Dage shouldn't have interfered, I should have just cut down this son of a bitch with one knife!"

  Gu Tianming lowered his head and didn't say anything.

  Jin Dadao's eyes turned to another side: "Su Bing, what do you say?"

  Dozens of people wearing Qing army uniforms looked at each other in confusion, their faces filled with uncertainty about their future. Unlike Jin Dadao and his men, they were originally from the Qing army, so shouldn't there still be a way out for them?

  "Mr. Jin, it's reasonable to say that after being together for so long, we should be able to share difficulties and work together. However, our leader is still not awake, and everyone lacks a sense of direction."

  Such a shirking word, of course, cannot deceive Jin Dadao. He suddenly became angry and raised his gun to point at Yang's head: "What Yang Butou said before he was injured, listen to Liu Gege's orders for everything. Now that Liu Gege is dead, you will listen to me!"

  Those soldiers immediately picked up their guns and aimed at Jin Dadao, while the bandits under Jin Dadao's command were not to be outdone either, a fierce battle was about to unfold.

  No one had expected that as soon as Liu Yikun died, this group of brothers who had shared life and death just a while ago would suddenly turn their guns on their own people.

  Kong rushed to the middle of the two groups, grabbing Jin Dadao and the soldier: "Jin Ye! Su Dage, what are you two doing? What are you doing? If you want to fight, kill me first!"

  "Master Kong, can't you see? Mr. Sui doesn't want to walk the same path as us anymore. He's probably thinking of how to use our heads in exchange for his wealth and glory back in Fengtian!"

  Su Bing was furious: "You surname Jin! You dare to insult people, I tell you, if we brothers are afraid of death, we would have run away long ago! We have no second thoughts about avenging Brother Liu, but now our Yang Batou is still unconscious, apart from him and Brother Liu, your words are just farting!"

  "Damn it, I'll beat you to death!"

  A gunshot rang out, Kong loudly shouted but no one paid attention to him. At this time, a very weak voice came from behind: "What are you doing?"

  Kong fell to the ground and saw that person come out, suddenly delighted: "Yang Batou, you've finally woken up!"

  Suibang saw that person with great joy, put down the gun and a group of brothers quickly surrounded him, and Jin Dadao's eyes also flashed with a hint of delight.

  Yang Xiaolin's head still hurts a bit, he doesn't know what happened, he remembers that he was going to help Liu Dage's family fix the fuse, but it seems like the elevator broke down. No, it seems like he was fighting with Russians, and some guy threw a hand grenade next to Jin Dadao, he went up to try to kick it away, but it exploded.

  Who is Liu Dàye? Who is Jin Dàdāo? He's a bit confused. Suddenly shaking his head, the faces in front of him are familiar yet strange, what's going on? What kind of person is he? A small police officer from the 21st century or a small general from the Qing dynasty army?

  Headache, can't figure it out!
