mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 1026 Crossing the River with a Reed

"Get off." The Russian soldiers roughly pulled the two men off the carriage.

Sato Masayoshi said, "Can't we talk in the car? It's raining outside."

The Maozi who was traveling with him helped him translate.

But the Russian soldier raised his hand and slapped him.

Sato Masayoshi was beaten and was furious. He thought about the time when Zhao Chuanxin was there and he was able to beat them as if he had divine help.

Seeing that there was only one Russian soldier here, Sato Masayoshi clenched his fist and raised his hand, hitting the Russian soldier in the face.

At the same time, he said in his heart: God of War bless me.

Then, the punch hit the Russian soldier's face without any pain. The Russian soldier was furious and punched back, knocking Sato Masayoshi to the ground.

Sato Masayoshi was on the ground, shouting, "God of War, bless me, God of War, bless me..."

While shouting, he got up and rushed towards the Russian soldiers.

Click, click, click. A series of scratches.

The Russian soldier had three red marks on his face.

Sato Masayoshi was beaten up by the aggressive Russian soldiers. When his face was swollen like a pig's head, he was still mumbling: "God of War, bless me..."

The Russian soldier who was traveling with him was indifferent throughout the whole process and later told the Russian soldier: "I am just a translator he paid for. It has nothing to do with me."

Sato Masayoshi raised his hand and pointed at Maozi in disbelief with trembling fingers.

Maozi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sorry, it doesn't matter where you live. You'd better wish you the best."

After saying this, with the permission of the Russian soldiers, he turned and ran away.

Before Sato Masayoshi could receive the power from the God of War, he was betrayed by his companions and lost all hope.

It was no problem for the Russian soldiers to capture him and put him in prison for interrogation.

……

It rained continuously for five days on both sides of the Tumen River, with heavy rain occurring on the sixth day.

The land, which had absorbed so much water, could no longer hold any more rain. The people who were observing the water level by the river suddenly felt something and looked upstream.

"No, run quickly..."

It was a severe flood, the water rose so fast that it was shocking, and the raging torrent arrived in an instant.

Some people didn't have time to run and were submerged in the flood in the blink of an eye, disappearing without even a wave.

All agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery industries on both sides of the river suffered a huge loss. In just half a day, 19 houses and more than 120 mu of crop land were destroyed.

The wooden bridge in Huining was hit by the flood for five breaths. It could no longer hold on and rolled into the torrent with an unpleasant breaking sound.

After receiving the news, Jin Wuzhi notified Ge Yunpeng immediately.

Unlike Lugang Town, Ge Yunpeng didn't care about the lives of the people here. He just said calmly: "This is a natural disaster. We can't control it. Let's wait for the flood to subside."

Jin Wuzhi thought about it and actually agreed.

The disaster-stricken people cried and wailed, but they did not complain about the army's failure to provide rescue, and seemed to have accepted their fate.

……

Zhao Chuanxin met with the border guards of the insurance team in Baimalan.

"Captain, look over there at the gourd."

Zhao Chuanxin looked and saw several grooves on the opposite bank that were created by the impact of the water. The water was flowing slowly, and the corpses of pigs, cows, sheep, horses and humans were constantly swirling in them.

"Captain, we have rescued more than ten families. The situation over at Weisha River is terrible. The Erdaohezi River and the Yalu River merged, and the flood washed out the triangle area. More than 30 people are trapped there. We can't rescue them. We can only hope that God will not send heavy rain again, otherwise these 30 people will surely die."

Zhao Chuanxin said, "Take me to see it."

Accompanied by a group of insurance team soldiers, Zhao Chuanxin rode to Wei-Sha River to check the dangerous situation.

Sure enough, more than 30 people trapped in the delta were so desperate that their faces were numb.

They were surrounded by floods on three sides, with only a corner of space that was barely enough for thirty people to live in. But they could only stand, not lie down, and there was no place to lie down.

As if they saw Zhao Chuanxin and his group, more than 30 people over there shouted across the water: "Help, help..."

The soldier of the insurance team sighed and said, "Captain, we can only wait until the water subsides before making any plans. Even if the Great Luo Immortal came, he couldn't save them."

But Zhao Chuanxin had already taken out the Chaos Armor and put it on.

"Captain, you..."

Zhao Chuanxin closed his armor and jumped down from halfway up the mountain.

Everyone exclaimed.

When Zhao Chuanxin fell, he had already activated Flash and arrived at the delta in an instant.

"Help, help..."

"My nickname is gone."

A voice appeared behind them.

Everyone turned around in shock and saw a man in full body armor standing on the edge of the delta, his legs even in the water.

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed a child by the back of his collar and said, "Hold your breath for a while, I will take you to shore."

The child wiped his nose, confused and at a loss.

Zhao Chuanxin had already grabbed him and headed towards the water.

"No..." The child's parents were shocked.

With such a severe flood, not to mention a person going down, even a tiger would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Chuanxin's original intention was to drag the child to the slope of West Mountain and reunite with the soldiers of the insurance team.

As soon as he entered the water, he felt a chill in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the flood flowing down from the ravine was so fast that the huge power provided by Xingyue was difficult to resist. The back of Zhao Chuanxin's collar that was holding the child was torn, and the child was washed into the bay in an instant.

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't let the child die here. The child was living well at home. He might suffer a little, but he could still survive. It would be unacceptable to save someone and end up killing him.

Fortunately, Xingyue immediately gave the child's location, and Zhao Chuanxin used Lord Run's greeting to control the flow of water. Xingyue opened fire at full power, and five seconds later Zhao Chuanxin caught up with the child. He struggled to get out of the rapids, lifted the child out of the water, and controlled the river water to the slow-flowing area to go ashore.

He was holding the child, and seeing that the child was blinded, he stretched out his hand, and a stream of clear water separated from the flood, splitting the water line in two and slowly washing the child's eyes.

The child then opened his mouth and cried out "wow".

I was almost scared to death.

Zhao Chuanxin was also frightened. He turned on the reaction shoulder straps, pushed the ground with his legs, and soared into the sky like a monkey. He landed on the trunk of a crooked tree, and with another push, he arrived at the location of the insurance team soldiers.

Everyone looked at Zhao Chuanxin as if he were a god.

I'm boiling... Is this okay?

Zhao Chuanxin opened his visor and lit a cigarette to calm himself down: "Keep an eye on this kid. I'll go down and rescue them all later."

A soldier said with admiration: "Captain Zhao, please go ahead and save them. We can settle them down."

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "We can't take this route. Let them go to Dongshan later."

The child was crying beside him: "I want to find my father and mother..."

Zhao Chuanxin glared at him and said, "If you keep crying, I'll throw you into the water to feed the turtles."

He was full of murderous intent, and after the intimidation, the child immediately stopped crying.

Everyone smiled bitterly.

Zhao Chuanxin flashed over again.

The child's parents knelt down and said, "You are a hero from the insurance team. You saved our child. We will build a shrine for you..."

The soldiers of the insurance team could not see clearly from a distance, but the survivors here knew it well.

Just now, Zhao Chuanxin was submerged the moment he entered the water. When he reappeared, he was more than 20 meters away. It can be seen that the water was very fast and he was almost dead.

But they risked their lives to save their children, which is a great favor.

Zhao Chuanxin ignored them. This time he didn't dare to be careless. He asked Xingyue to detect the speed of the surrounding water flow and then find a relatively safe route.

Then he grabbed one person's arm, said "hold your breath", and pulled the person into the water.

This time it was much better, and Zhao Chuanxin easily dragged the man ashore.

He pointed to the East Mountain and said, "Find a high place to take shelter temporarily. When you get there, tie this piece of red silk to a tree as a flag. I will have the rest of the people join you."

The man also knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My benefactor, you must rescue my father. I, I will also build a shrine for you..."

Zhao Chuanxin flashes, saves people, flashes, saves people...

The cycle was repeated more than thirty times, and everyone was finally rescued.

He sat on a metamorphic rock to rest, and a large group of people knelt down behind him: "Sir, please tell us your name, so that we can build a shrine for you..."

Zhao Chuanxin seemed not to hear anything and just sat there quietly smoking.

In fact, ever since he took the Six Senses Potion, every time he smoked, he could feel a substance like a needle constantly pricking his blood vessels. The stimulation and damage to the cardiovascular system was more serious than drinking alcohol.

But he just couldn't quit.

too difficult.

He was thinking that there have been constant natural disasters and man-made disasters in recent years.

It is impossible to save the life.

But since it's his own territory, he still wants to take care of it.

He flicked away his cigarette butt, waved to everyone, and disappeared into the woods with a few leaps. Someone said, "It's okay, I'll ask the heroes of the Lugang Town Insurance Team, they will know it eventually."

"Yes, I'll go too when the water recedes."

……

Without alerting anyone, Zhao Chuanxin teleported to Eye No. 24, the north gate of Huining.

He went to check the water situation first and found that the ground was flooded.

The north bank is higher in elevation and was less affected.

The south bank is low-lying and has become a swamp.

Huining is sandwiched between two rivers, and the Korean people are trembling under the flood.

The people from the Guanwai Chamber of Commerce were fine, they just lost a batch of goods.

On the north bank, outside Xiaoguogou, Zhao Chuanxin also saw a sandbar similar to a delta, where floods surrounded the survivors.

But there was no sign of the navy.

At this time, the sky was dark and it was already dusk. Seeing that the rain was not heavy, Zhao Chuanxin did not rush to rescue people. He used the fragments of the energy fluctuation convergence rune to teleport back to Quetshalan to rest.

Coincidentally, it was also the rainy season in Quetshalan, and it was raining heavily. The glass roof of Zhao Chuanxin's studio on the hill was damaged by the raindrops.

Zhao Chuanxin did not dare to rest here. He found a relatively safe place and used the old god's crucible mark to evaporate the water vapor and dry the bedding before lying down.

Xingyue told him, "Sato Masayoshi has been captured by the Russians and is being tortured. He has bronze glasses, so I can't see his mouth shape, but judging from the shape of his mouth by the torturers, he has confessed everything."

This was exactly what Zhao Chuanxin expected. He said, "Just recruit him. It doesn't matter."

As he said this, he took out the "Code of the Old Gods" and started refreshing.

[The female monk from Red Island came to the blood and sweat den. ]

[She said to me: Fearless Pioneer, I came to ask for your help.]

[I said: No help.]

[Female monk from Hongdao:...]

Zhao Chuanxin was happy.

Birds of a feather flock together. Today, the fearless pioneer has already acquired some of his style.

[The female monk from Red Island said: The rumors are true, the new emperor was indeed bewitched. But I am not sure whether it was the work of the Gu spirit. The new emperor has gathered craftsmen of level 4 or above of the second order to make a machine for him to transform his body. However, living things have their own destiny. For example, creatures of different weights have different bone densities. A hasty change will be counterproductive. I want to ask you for help. Please find an antidote similar to the seaweed to remove the Gu spirit's bewitching spell.]

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly thought that if they lived on different planets, the density of flesh and bones should also change due to different gravity.

[I don’t want to agree to her.]

Zhao Chuanxin thought of the recent floods, his eyes turned, and he wrote:
[I can promise to help you find it, but I ask you to advance part of the reward. ]

[The female monk from Hongdao thought for a moment and said: I can enter and leave the palace treasury as I please, but if I take things without the new emperor's permission, I will take risks. Therefore, we need to sign a contract. I can advance the reward, but you must promise that you will find the antidote to the Gu Ling bewitching, otherwise you will overdraw your lifespan by a hundred years.]

Zhao Chuanxin immediately wrote:

[I don't agree. Let her find whoever she wants.]

[The female monk from Red Island was speechless for a long while.]

[Finally, she gritted her teeth and said: If I can find another way, I will not come to you for help. Whether it is the ship merchants from Middle-earth, or the residents of Radiant Oasis and Rune City, they all say that the Fearless Vanguard always keeps his word and has an excellent reputation. I hope you will not disappoint me. What reward do you want? ]

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up:
[I said: I want 50 anti-force rune fragments, you can advance 10 first.]

[The female monk from Red Island shook her head: That's impossible. There aren't that many anti-force rune fragments in the royal treasury. Axiom Master No. 35 in the Sea City Void Realm has stopped selling anti-force rune fragments. I can't get so many. I can advance you 15 of the 3 anti-force rune fragments in the royal treasury. You just need to use them to make long-range weapons. There's no use for more.]

She thought Zhao Chuanxin wanted to make long-range weapons such as hidden weapons to increase the range.

However, she didn't know that Xingyue could help Zhao Chuanxin upgrade the anti-force rune fragments to a 256-filament architecture.

A fragment of the anti-force rune with 256 filaments processing structure can offset about 58KG of gravity, which is quite impressive.

Zhao Chuanxin's healthy weight is 90 kilograms, and he only needs two anti-force rune fragments to stay in the air.

If you wear a reaction shoulder strap inlaid with three reaction rune fragments, the excess part will not generate an upward force and will still have a hovering effect.

But you can use inertia.

Zhao Chuanxin secretly calculated this and wrote:

[I said: I want to advance 4 anti-force rune fragments.]

[The nun from Red Island considered for a moment and finally agreed.]

Zhao Chuanxin transmitted the anti-force rune fragments over and closed the "Code of the Old Gods".

After handing the anti-force rune fragment to the black puppet craftsman, he fell asleep.

I slept until it was dark in Quetshalan, but it was bright in Huining.

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the upgraded anti-force shoulder strap on the table, which was inlaid with 5 anti-force rune fragments and an additional mid-level blue crystal.

With 5 pieces of 256-filament structure anti-force rune fragments, Zhao Chuanxin can offset 290 kilograms of gravity.

As long as his body can withstand it, he can lead others to stay in the air, wear chaos armor to stay in the air and carry enough weapons.

After putting on the reaction shoulder strap, Zhao Chuanxin was sent to Huining.

The heavy rain turned into moderate rain.

Zhao Chuanxin arrived at the Tumen River, not wearing any Chaos Armor, and took a few quick steps before jumping.

Xingyue said, "Wait a minute. In the absence of wind, you just took off at a high speed, with an initial inertial velocity of about 38 kilometers per hour. Under standard conditions, the aerodynamic force reached 179 watts, and your power was 779 watts. At this time, the south wind is blowing, and you are in the headwind while hovering in the air. The total power is constantly decreasing, coupled with air resistance, the dynamic viscosity is constantly increasing. The river here is more than meters wide. I'm afraid you will stagnate on the way and then be slowly blown back by the wind. You need to extend the run-up distance and find an area several dozen meters wide to cross the river..."

Zhao Chuanxin: "Fuck you."

Take out the third generation of dragons immediately and cross the river easily...

He went to Longjing, the headquarters of the Beishui Army.

Ge Yunpeng was standing under the eaves, staring at the rain.

He suddenly looked up and saw a figure falling from the sky, even cutting through the rain curtain.

It’s hard to say whether this scene didn’t give him a little shock.

Zhao Chuanxin landed gracefully, and came to Ge Yunpeng with his hands behind his back: "What are you looking at?"

Ge Yunpeng didn't dare to say, "What are you looking at?"

I don't have the courage, you know.

He was just like he used to be, smiling in front of Zhao Chuanxin: "Look at Mr. Zhao's magical skills."

Ge Yunpeng is a smart guy.

Just like a child, even when he grows up, as long as he acts like a child in front of his elders, he can still get childlike care and love.

Zhao Chuanxin stood in the rain and lit a cigarette. There was no open flame but the cigarette was lit. The rain didn't stop but the cigarette butt would not go out. Ge Yunpeng was stunned by what he saw.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I'll let you lead the army, don't learn from me to disregard the lives of the Koreans who cross the river. I always say that the four barbarians fear power but not virtue, but it's not limited to the four barbarians. People all over the world are good at forgetting, forgetting kindness and hatred. Maybe a hundred years later, someone will want to worship the Russians as their ancestors, and anyone who dares to say bad things about the Russians will be a traitor."

Although the main enemy of the Backwater Army was the Japanese, at that time everyone outside the Great Wall hated the Russians who were doing nothing.

In fact, even when we had a period of brotherhood, the Russians still did not indulge us.

So Ge Yunpeng didn't believe it. He was surprised and said, "How is that possible? We have a blood feud with the Maozi, and we cannot live together. Besides, there is a saying since ancient times - how can you allow others to snore beside your bed? Even if there is no blood feud, all the four barbarians who border us are enemies. The ancients knew to make friends with distant countries and attack nearby ones. How could there be a fool who regards them as relatives?"

"Some times were like this, there were fools everywhere, and they were complacent and talked about cognition. They didn't read history, didn't know history, didn't understand the simple truth that everyone except themselves was essentially an enemy, didn't understand the concept that allies did not represent relatives, but instead recognized their ancestors everywhere. Until one day the allies turned against each other, they would follow the crowd and spit on the allies for being treacherous. Idiots are like this." Zhao Chuanxin took a deep puff of his cigarette: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. The people are ignorant, you have to let the Koreans who crossed the river taste some sweetness. I play the good guy, and you have to play the bad guy, otherwise how can you govern this area? Hit them with a stick, and then give them a sweet date, and soon they will forget the stick they hit, and will only praise how sweet the date is."

Ge Yunpeng was stunned: "Sir, you mean..."

"Gather the troops to rescue people and relieve disasters."

Along the Tumen River.

Most of the people who come here to farm are Koreans who have crossed the border to cultivate the land over the years.

Their grandmothers don’t love them, their uncles don’t care about them, people on the other side of the strait hate them, and people here don’t consider them their own people.

So after being trapped in the water, they could only wait for death in despair, and never thought that anyone would come to rescue them.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin led his men to the floodside.

He was wearing the same uniform as the Back Water Army, gray-green combat pants and a gray straight-collared long-sleeved T-shirt. The difference was that the soldiers were all carrying M1908 lever-action rifles and Type rifles and ammunition, but Zhao Chuanxin had nothing in his hands.

He said to Ge Yunpeng: "You take your men and wait here, I will go and rescue them."

After saying that, without waiting for Ge Yunpeng and the others to respond, he took a run and jumped.

After his body was suspended in the air for two meters, with only forward inertia left, Zhao Chuanxin activated the reaction shoulder straps and only activated two reaction rune fragments.

He flew dozens of meters in the air due to inertia, leaving the soldiers and trapped civilians on the shore stunned.

As they were approaching the sandbar, Zhao Chuanxin slowed down.

"Zhao, I didn't calculate the distance and wind speed."

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly looked down and saw an elm tree floating on the water, which had been knocked down by the water. Zhao Chuanxin fired another anti-force rune fragment.

His body immediately fell down, stepped on the tree trunk, and kicked hard with his legs.

The wood sank into the water after being kicked, which shows how great the force was.

Zhao Chuanxin used the rebound force to move forward again, activated two anti-force rune fragments, and floated down to the sandbar.

The people on the sandbar were so shocked that they were speechless.

After a long while, someone finally spoke up: "God, this is the method used by the gods..."

Zhao Chuanxin slapped him in the face: "Fuck you, I'm Zhao Chuanxin, I'm here to save you."

On the other bank, Ge Yunpeng muttered to himself: "Only one reed can cross the river. Mr. Zhao can actually cross the river with only one reed. It must be the Bodhidharma who is still alive..."
