mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 1127 The knife falls from the hand

Since the other party had fired a gun, Zhao Chuanxin had no need to be polite. He fired three shots, and the man who touched the gun was shot in the eyes and between the eyebrows.

The other British devils gasped when they saw this.

Someone ran over, lifted up the upper body of the man's body, and cried, "George, George..."

Immediately he raised his head and glared at Zhao Chuanxin: "You will pay the price for this..."

Bang bang bang.

The man was shot in both eyes and between his eyebrows.

Zhao Chuanxin changed the magazine and cocked the hammer.

The rest were confused.

Not only can they not resist, they can't even threaten.

Zhao Chuanxin said calmly: "I will count to three, and all those who haven't left will die."

"three."

There were four people left, three ran away, and one hesitated and stayed where he was.

Bang bang bang.

He was shot in both eyes and between the eyebrows.

The three people who were escaping glanced back, but felt a chill on their backs and ran for their lives.

Zhao Chuanxin put away his gun and told Xingyue: "Scan."

The detection range of Xingyue cannot penetrate too deep into the soil, and only reveals the tip of the iceberg of the ancient city of Ur.

Zhao Chuanxin released the digging puppet: "Dig!"

He pulled out a piece of dragon scale steel.

Dragon scale steel is an alloy designed by him and Xingyue.

If dragon scale steel is given to ordinary craftsmen to forge, the dragon scale pattern will not appear. Only weapons grown with solid runes can have beautiful dragon scale patterns.

Xingyue planted the blade, Zhao Chuanxin took out the leather and cut it into thin strips, he wrapped the leather in the transverse groove of the handle, tightened it, and embedded the end of the leather into the metal groove, Xingyue continued to plant metal to reinforce it.

There are fifteen of these leather strips on the handle of the knife.

The leather and the metal edges on the handle form a flat surface, yet are non-slip.

No one in the world can do this kind of craftsmanship except Zhao Chuanxin.

Because no one has the ability to make a metal fixing leather ring after the knife is formed in one piece.

If you use the method of inlaying gemstones to fix the leather strips, it will not only be unstable, but also affect the aesthetics.

At this time, craftsmen used metal wire to tie the non-slip leather handles.

Then Xingyue plants the metal part of the guard ring.

The scabbard is made of black soft gold alloy, and the whole body is black. The surface is embedded with ultra-fine gold lines to outline figures, horses, rocks, plants, battle flags, shields, spears...

The two groups of soldiers charged forward, each armed with sharp weapons.

There are two other Chinese characters - Xianzhen.

Zhao Chuanxin was the first person throughout history to draw such a complex pattern on the narrow scabbard with gold thread.

Then, he used dragon scale steel in combination with other steels to make a Lugang M1907, carved gold on the sleeve, and used black, gold and silver to outline the gods and Buddhas. There were two Chinese characters on it - "supernatural power".

For Xingyue and Zhao Chuanxin, making the Lugang M1907 gun was already a piece of cake.

Yao Jia wanted to sell luxury goods, so Zhao Chuanxin created two limited editions for him.

The command knife is called - Xianzhen.

The pistol is called - Supernatural.

At this time, Xingyue told him: "The digging puppet has dug up something..."

……

Because Zhao Chuanxin predicted Yuan Weiting's intention in advance, Yuan Weiting's plan to issue the "Regulations on Commendation" failed.

However, he still issued an order to all provinces to set the two Ding days in Spring and Autumn as the days for worshiping Confucius.

The order was met with boos from across the country.

"It's so embarrassing. Zhao Tan Gong has schemed against me."

"A big-headed thief is always guilty..."

Kang Youwei, not knowing whether he was flattering or had other purposes, published "On Taking Confucianism as the State Religion to Match Heaven" in the magazine "Bu Ren", echoing Yuan Weiting.

Not long after Kang returned to China, he couldn't wait to come out.

Newspapers and the internet were filled with insults.

"A raccoon dog of the same kind."

"They are in cahoots with each other."

"Kang thief!"

At the same time, Bai Lang had already reached Laohekou, an important town in Hubei.

Originally, Bai Lang relied on his miraculous mobile combat capabilities to make the Beiyang Army unable to focus on one thing while neglecting another, and with the help of the common people, he was invincible.

But in Laohekou, Bai Lang fought hard and defeated a regiment of defenders, and then entered the city.

As usual, Bai Lang first went to rob the local foreign companies.

The first are the Asiatic Petroleum Company and Standard Oil Company.

The two foreign companies were competitors, but they also cooperated. They signed an agreement to divide the Chinese market and implement a monopoly.

Bai Lang captured the manager of the Asiatic Petroleum Company.

The manager was terrified.

During the Qing Dynasty, foreigners were not afraid of the Qing government, but they were afraid of rebels among the people, and the Boxers killed many of them.

It is almost the same now.

They were not afraid of the Beiyang Army, but they were afraid of Bai Lang.

The manager shouted: "You can't kill me, you can't rob our company. We are a subsidiary of the Dutch Shell Oil Company. You know, Zhao Chuanxin has shares in Shell Oil Company. He is the major shareholder. He will come to you..."

Bai Lang didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard Zhao Chuanxin's name, he was stunned.

Li Hongbao, Song Nianlong, Ding Wansong, Song Yiyan, Wang Xinfu and others looked at each other with shock on their faces.

"Captain Zhao actually owns shares in a foreign company?"

"I've heard of Shell Oil. They're in the oil business and are extremely rich."

"They say that Governor Zhao is the richest man, and now it seems to be true."

Once, Sheng Xuanhuai was interviewed and said, "Zhao Chuanxin is the real richest man, but he just doesn't say it."

When this statement was published in the newspaper, many people did not believe it.

Maybe this is true.

Bai Lang frowned and waved his hand: "Let this foreign company go and rob another one."

The manager of Standard Chartered Bank was a little dumbfounded when he saw this. He shouted, "Zhao Chuanxin has connections with the Rockefeller family..."

Bai Lang was furious: "Do you want to make friends with anyone?"

He didn't know anything about Rockefeller.

They immediately robbed Standard Oil and other foreign companies, leaving only the Asiatic Petroleum Company.

They also seized a large number of guns and ammunition from the defenders to arm their expanded troops.

Ding Wansong said: "Where are we going next?"

Bai Lang thought for a moment and said, "Turn north and head to Shaanxi and Gansu. Once we have enough troops and food, we will dominate the north, then sweep across the southeast and completely overthrow Yuan Weiting!"

Before this, Bai Lang's army not only approached Hankou, but also broke through Laohekou.

Bai Lang and Sun Gongwu are different.

Bai Lang is very popular among the lower classes.

In the military report presented to Yuan Weiting, it said: The people regard soldiers as enemies and bandits as family members.

Because of Bai Lang's great influence, there were rumors among the people that Yuan Weiting's position would soon be lost.

Yuan Weiting was furious when he saw this rumor!
……

Liangzhou City.

Benjamin Goldberg brought Losang Dolma with him and directed the workers to store grain in the warehouse.

He purchased this batch of grain from several places in the north and south.

Losang Zhuoma was puzzled: "Jinbao, why are you buying food?"

Because Benjamin Goldberg didn't allow her to call him Nanga Bawa, she called him by his last name - Goldberg.

Benjamin Goldberg answered the question in a nonsensical way: "You know, the future is certain. Some things are bound to happen."

Losang Dolma looked confused.

Guotie, who came with him to do the work and provide protection, was in the mood to brag again: "I understand this, I understand. If the future is not certain, then fortune tellers can't tell fortunes."

Benjamin Goldberg smiled and did not refute him: "There are four forces in this world. Electromagnetic force, Nicholas is proficient in it. The other three forces are - strong force, weak force, and gravity which cannot be explained accurately. My master seems to understand the way of gravity, so he can float; my junior brother is proficient in strong force, so he can shape metal; my junior sister is proficient in weak force, maybe that's why she can split herself, but she can't observe her own split with her own eyes, otherwise it will collapse... Once these four forces are integrated, we can summarize the formula to explain everything, and then the future will be certain. If Einstein knew our master, maybe he could crack the final secret of the world..."

He thought Zhao Chuanxin understood a lot.

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin knew nothing about it.

Losang Dolma sighed.

Nanga Bawa was so smart, so smart that she couldn't understand what he said at all.

She asked, "But what does this have to do with buying food?"

Benjamin Goldberg had his hands tucked into his sleeves, wore a sheepskin hat, and had a faint black beard around his lips.

He said: "It is very important. Our radio signal towers are constantly receiving messages from all over the world. These messages are variables. When the values ​​of the variables are determined, the future is certain and can be calculated."

"Hiss..." Guotie'er exclaimed: "Could it be that the young master has the ability of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng?"

Benjamin Goldberg smiled but said nothing.

He said to Losang Zhuoma: "You have a talent for business. I will teach you how to run a business. From now on, this matter will be handed over to you."

Losang Zhuoma recalled the experience of having her family property taken away and being abducted as a serf, and shook her head in fear: "I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" Guotie'er interrupted: "Do you think that in the northwest, no one dares to offend us, Tianshangfei?"

Benjamin Goldberg tucked her hair behind her ears: "Just wait, soon it will be someone else who will be scared."

At this moment, his mobile phone rang.

Benjamin picked up the phone. It was Zhao Lingjun calling.

Zhao Lingjun said excitedly: "Brother, please come back soon. The pupa will soon turn into a butterfly."

……

The digging puppets dug tunnels, and occasionally Zhao Chuanxin would help fix the passages by gathering sand into a tower, and block the water layer at the same time.

Although Zhao Chuanxin collected the ox-head seven-stringed harp, chessboard, gold and jade jewelry and other items in the ancient city, he was obviously not interested in them.

The bronze helmets, spears, golden daggers, needle and thread button boxes, various food utensils, seals, etc. were all glanced at hastily.

However, it was the clay tablets engraved with words that made Zhao Chuanxin take a few more glances.

Because the ancient city of Ur was so huge, it would take more than a day or two to dig through it.

On the third day, he lay outside in a chair basking in the sun.

There was a tea tray on the wooden table next to it.

While drinking tea, a group of knights came from a distance.

Xingyue told him: "One of them is the British who escaped before. There are 24 riders in total, mercenaries composed of locals, and they seem to be here to cause trouble."

Zhao Chuanxin stood up, raised his cowboy hat, put on sunglasses, and covered his mouth and nose with a scarf.

He pulled out the Goldberg M1907 fully automatic.

These people stopped about seventy or eighty meters away from Zhao Chuanxin.

This distance is beyond the range of accurate pistol shooting, which may give them a little sense of security.

These people were armed with rifles, cannons, and scimitars, wore headscarves, and were good riders.

The British shouted, "We have 24 people. Leave quickly, or we will not be polite..."

Zhao Chuanxin raised his gun and fired three shots.

Bang bang bang.

A man fell to the ground. Bang, bang, bang.

Another person fell to the ground.

I blanch...

The other party was confused.

It's simply too much of a lie.

While they were angry, they were also frightened by Zhao Chuanxin's precise marksmanship.

So he quickly fought back.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't even try to dodge.

bang bang bang...

Gunfire rang out.

None of the bullets hit Zhao Chuanxin. His shooting skills were worrying.

He remained motionless and continued shooting.

This time it was a burst of fire.

One shot at a time.

The area was empty, without even a shelter.

After eight people died in a row, the enemy began to disintegrate.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his gun, aimed and continued shooting.

The English were shot off their horses.

After the 30-round magazine was emptied, Zhao Chuanxin put away the gun.

Only six people escaped, and he did not chase them. He just went back and continued to lie down.

No one came to disturb him this time.

Because of the Balkan Wars, the Ottoman Empire had loose control over the areas under its rule.

It's just a minor incident and no one cares.

On March 3, Zhao Chuanxin had basically taken all his things and was just waiting to finish the work before leaving.

In the afternoon, a camel caravan returning from Baghdad passed by here.

They didn't seem to notice the corpse in the distance and rested here.

The people in the caravan looked at Zhao Chuanxin sitting on the recliner with curiosity.

Zhao Chuanxin also looked at them. He was not interested at first, but when he saw a woman with a graceful figure.

The grey robe covered her body, but it couldn't hide her curvy figure.

Her face is covered with a blue headscarf and veil, but judging from her exposed eyes, she is a dark-skinned person.

The long robe is tightened with an embroidered wide belt, the wrist rings are jingling with gems, and she wears leather sandals. The kind of veiled charm is actually itchy.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly stood up, took out his camera and walked towards them.

"Friend, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Chuanxin covered his face and wore sunglasses and a cowboy hat, so it was impossible to tell what his specific race was.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at the woman and said, "I want to take a picture of her."

The men were immediately furious: "You are looking for death..."

Normally we have to cover our faces, but you want to take photos?

You are really impertinent, you are so impertinent.

One of the men rushed towards Zhao Chuanxin and reached out to grab Zhao Chuanxin by the collar.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his palm and easily intercepted the attack with a flip of his wrist.

"Ow..."

Someone nearby wanted to help, so Zhao Chuanxin held the camera in his left hand and punched his throat with his right hand.

The man covered his throat, made a "uh uh" sound, and staggered back.

The third person attacked, and Zhao Chuanxin kicked him.

inverted flight.

The rest of the people were stunned.

Zhao Chuanxin hooked his finger at the woman and said, "Don't turn your back to the sun, otherwise you'll end up with a dark shadow in the photo."

When a woman is frightened, she instinctively obeys.

Zhao Chuanxin found the angle and took two photos.

He grinned and said, "Just take two photos, make it look like I'm going to rape a woman."

After the shoot, he went back to lying down.

Suddenly there was a commotion over there.

It turned out that someone had discovered the body in the distance.

It is dry here and there are winds all year round, so the sand and wind buried part of the body.

Perhaps after a while, the corpses will dry up, saving a lot of trouble.

Someone came to Zhao Chuanxin hesitantly and said, "There's a body over there."

"I know." Zhao Chuanxin didn't even bother to stand up.

"you know?"

"Yes, I killed him."

The man turned and ran.

The caravan did not rest and drove their camels towards Nasiriyah.

Taking a break could be life-threatening.

At this time, Xingyue informed Zhao Chuanxin: "Dig through the last palace room."

Zhao Chuanxin flashed to the side of the digging puppet.

He still didn't find anything suspicious and put away the digging puppet in disappointment.

It's time to leave.

He turned back to his home in Iceland.

Sarah Wilsdottir heard the door open and saw Zhao Chuanxin through the glass. She ran to open the door in surprise and held Zhao Chuanxin tightly with her strong arms.

To be honest, any weakling wouldn't be able to withstand her hug.

As soon as Zhao Chuanxin entered the room, he said to her: "Why don't you leave Iceland?"

Whenever the topic came up, Sarah Wilsdottir fell silent, and it was obvious that she didn't want to leave.

She knew nothing about the outside world.

Zhao Chuanxin sighed and began to take off his clothes.

Two days later, Zhao Chuanxin set off for Stockholm, Sweden.

At night, Zhao Chuanxin went to the Royal Library.

During the 17th century, Swedish troops looted all the collections of the Holy Roman Emperor and obtained a special trophy.

It is - "The Devil's Bible".

Zhao Chuanxin came just for it.

He cut the door lock, went in wearing a shadow cloak, and moved the books in an orderly manner under the guidance of Xingyue.

These are basically texts that were not published through traditional commercial publishing channels, many of which are handwritten.

Xingyue pointed out to him the location of the "Devil's Bible". Zhao Chuanxin took the book, walked out of the Royal Library, and went straight to his Dune Baden Island.

Kang Youwei had returned to China a long time ago, so this place should have been empty.

But after Zhao Chuanxin arrived on the island, he found a small boat in the harbor.

Lights were on in the houses on the island.

He walked in with a frown. The door of Beihai Thatched Cottage had been violently broken open, and three men and one woman were sitting on the armchairs inside.

They were drinking and smoking, and there was trash everywhere.

When they saw Zhao Chuanxin, their eyes widened: "Who are you?"

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the garbage on the ground, then looked at these people, and felt angry.

"Pick up the garbage and get out!" Zhao Chuanxin squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

A muscular man stood up and pointed at Zhao Chuanxin with his neck tilted: "This is an uninhabited island, you bastard, you should get out."

Zhao Chuanxin stopped talking nonsense.

With the skull crusher in hand, he took five steps at a time and swung the hammer to smash.

duh.

The other person's skull is sunken.

"what……"

The woman's tongue trembled and she screamed at the top of her lungs.

The other two men were frightened and quickly stood up, trying to find some weapons to resist.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand and struck again.

A man's nose was flattened into his face.

Backhand.

duh.

Another man had a gouge in his temple.

The woman rolled her eyes and fainted from fright.

The man with the collapsed nose was severely injured, but he was not unconscious. He stepped back in fear and shouted, "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Zhao Chuanxin swung the hammer.

Duh!
To shut up!

He raised his hand and chopped off three heads in a row with the shining blade.

He carried their heads and went outside, cut down three tree trunks, trimmed them, sharpened both ends, stuck one end in the ground at the dock, and hung the heads on the other end.

Then they erected a stone tablet with a line of Swedish words engraved on it: Anyone who lands on the island without permission will die!

Then go back and throw the body into the sea.

Finally, there was an unconscious woman left.

Zhao Chuanxin carried her into the fourth-generation dragon boat and took her to the depths of the Baltic Sea. About twenty kilometers away, he threw the woman into the sea.

The woman was shocked by the sea water and woke up immediately. She choked on the water and slapped the sea surface: "Ah..."

Still screaming.

She watched a colorful flame fade away.

After shouting for a long time, all around was the dark night and dark sea, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Ah... help..."

He shouted until he was exhausted and then drowned.

People must pay for their actions, without exception.

Zhao Chuanxin asked his puppet servants to clean up the Beihai Thatched Cottage. Instead of living there, he teleported directly to Nordenburg to find the queen.

The Queen's second child is due soon, and she is emotionally unstable and in urgent need of company. She refuses to let Lao Zhao leave no matter what.

……

3 month 17 day.

The photography competition organized by Liu Baogui in Lugang Town has reached the publicity stage.

There was a lot of news about entry criteria, competition rules and prize money.

Liu Baogui invested a lot of money.
