mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 208 Preliminary Training
While Zhao Chuanxin was taking a bath, Ganfan was waiting outside the door.

After taking a shower, Zhao Chuanxin was still a little sleepy.

Seeing him coming out, Ganfan stepped forward and sniffed him.

"Can you smell the natural body fragrance on my body without paying?"

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"Fuck, you bastard, how many days have you not taken a shower and still dislike me?"

At this time, Fan Ziliang ran over panting.

When Zhao Chuanxin returned to Lugang Town, his follower Fan Ziliang took the initiative to work.

He said, "Sir, someone who claims to be Zhang Rong's sister came to see you."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Chuanxin remembered that passionate but innocent young man.

At the beginning, he injected capital into Liu Yonghe for the Zhongyi Army to resist the Russians.Later, from time to time, he would open his mouth cheekily, asking Zhao Chuanxin for money and supplies.

"Oh? What did she come to me for? What's the matter, my brother asked for money, and my sister came to ask for it?"

Zhao Chuanxin was quite unhappy.

Co-authored me to find foreigners to use as ATMs, and you guys ask me to withdraw money?

I also brought back the money based on my ability. You said you want it?

But Fan Ziliang shook his head: "No, she came with money, not asking for money, but giving money."

Zhao Chuanxin lifted his spirits: "If you want to come here, then I won't be sleepy. Let's go and meet her."

Since coming to Lugang Town, no one has rushed to send money.

Come to the Sheriff's Office.

Zhao Chuanxin saw a woman dressed as a typical bannerman. She was not too old, and she should have been married by the hairstyle. Her feet were not bound like that of a well-to-do Han woman.

Sitting on a public bench in the Mountie's office.

Zhao Chuanxin was dressed casually, wearing a down jacket, a pair of loose slacks, and a pair of big, exaggerated plush slippers.

With his hands behind his back, a dog beside him, and a sturdy young follower behind him, he looked like a retired veteran cadre with his splayed splayed.

A mounted policeman on duty at the public security station said, "Here, that's Captain Zhao."

The woman got up quickly and walked towards Zhao Chuanxin, blessing with the etiquette of a bannerman.

"Captain Zhao, be polite!"

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up and he asked, "I heard that you want to send me money, right? Where's the money? How much did you bring?"

"..."

Where has a woman seen such a brazen person?
Ask about money as soon as they meet, is this Zhao Chuanxin, the rumored righteous Bo Yuntian?

Yes, in the Liao land, Zhao Chuanxin's reputation is that his righteousness is beyond the sky.

The woman thought for a while, and put a bag on the chair. After opening it, there were stacks of oceans inside: "Captain Zhao, here are 500 yuan oceans."

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "Zhang Rong always asks for money when he comes. I didn't expect his sister to be so sensible and know how to pay back the money. Well, I'll accept the money, and you can go."

"..." The woman was dazed, and after a few seconds of being dazed, she hurriedly said, "Captain Zhao, my name is Zhang Gui, and I am the elder sister of Zhang Rong's mother. This time I came to Captain Zhao to ask Captain Zhao to save my brother! "

This is strange.

Zhao Chuanxin pondered for a while, and asked an irrelevant question: "Are you a bannerman?"

"Yes."

"Your brother is also a bannerman?"

"..." What kind of words is this? I told you all about it!But Zhang Gui still said honestly: "Yes, we are all XHQ!"

Zhao Chuanxin had a strange face: "Then you continue to talk."

"My younger brother saw the decay of the Qing court during the Russo-Japanese War. He came up with some ideas and wanted to overthrow the Qing court..."

She didn't hide it, and it seemed that there was no need to hide it in front of Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted her: "Wait, your brother is XHQ, and then he wants to overthrow the Qing court?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Gui also seemed a little speechless.

"Oh oh, it's good."

Well, in the Eight Banners team, Zhang Rong may be the first to quit the group chat.

Zhang Gui continued: "Last year, he joined forces with others to assassinate the five ministers who went abroad to investigate, but he was arrested in Tianjin. I brought a lot of money to the capital to manage. Li Lianying helped me and saved me from the death penalty. He was imprisoned in a model prison in Tianjin City. I heard people say that Captain Zhao is so righteous, and I want to ask Captain Zhao for help."

"You misunderstood." Zhao Chuanxin waved his hands after hearing this. "I don't really care about loyalty at all. I'm lazy and weak. I usually don't have 10 yuan, so I can't work hard at all."

"..."

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin was a little angry.

Even if he brought two catties of oranges to ask for help, Zhao Chuanxin would not say anything.

But I want to take money.

It doesn't matter if you take money, but let him know that Zhang Gui gave Li Lianying money.Who is Li Lianying?If 500 Yuan Dayang stands in the way, he might kick him out of the way!
Why, it’s the same money, is there such a big difference?
Pfft!
Zhang Gui knelt down.

"Captain Zhao, please help me, otherwise my brother will never be able to get out in this life. I know he has friendship with you, please help him."

Zhao Chuanxin suppressed his smile.

He said lightly: "It is true that there is friendship, but it is he who owes me, not I owe him. Do you understand? Put away your five hundred oceans, I know that your Zhang family is not short of money, but that little money Just don't show off in front of us in Lugang Town. Five hundred oceans, hehe, is this the only way for me, Zhao Chuanxin, to show respect?"

Only then did Zhang Gui understand what the problem was.

She shyly collected the money.

Zhao Chuanxin said again: "Get up. I'll send a letter to Tianjin City first, and ask about the situation before we talk."

Hearing this, Zhang Gui was overjoyed and thanked repeatedly.

Zhao Chuanxin came to the mail room.

Because Zhao Chuanxin was traveling in the United States before, there was a lot of movement, so Liu Baogui spent a lot of money to pull a wire, directly pulled it to the public security station, and installed a telegraph.

He said to the telegraph operator on duty: "Xiao Wu, I want to send a telegram."

Xiao Wu is a girl, a little baby fat.I don't know if it's because I shaved my forehead hard before, but since I started working in the public security station, my forehead hair hasn't grown much.

That brain gate became her lingering nightmare.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin, she stood up respectfully: "Captain Zhao."

No one in Lugang Town is afraid of Zhao Chuanxin, but some people respect him very much.

Zhang Gui also followed in behind, with a look of anxiety on his face.

Poor sisters in the world, there are helper demons in every era.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "This address, I say, you send it."

Xiao Wu hurriedly sat down again, nodded hastily: "Yeah."

Quite nervous.

In fact, the men in Lugang Town talked very casually with Zhao Chuanxin, but most of the women respected him very much.

Because Zhao Chuanxin has set up many positions for women, such as tally clerk, salesperson, waiter and so on.Moreover, Zhao Chuanxin changed some unhealthy customs that imprisoned women.The status of women has been greatly improved.

When other people want to send a telegram, they always take a piece of paper with words written on it, and Xiao Wu only needs to type the words according to the words.

But Zhao Chuanxin is different, he dictates.

Xiao Wu asked: "Captain Zhao, what do you want to say?"

Without thinking about it, Zhao Chuanxin said, "Brother Yang, are you there?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Gui behind him almost collapsed.

The telegram at this time is no different from writing a letter, and it can be said that a word is worth a thousand dollars.

In some areas, the corner of the telegram is "Xiaoyang", and there are more expensive ones.

Xiao Wu finished typing in astonishment, and asked, "Is there any more?"

Shaking his head, Zhao Chuanxin said, "No more, just wait for his reply."

Not to mention they were confused, after receiving the telegram, Yang Yide was also confused.

It seemed that some kind of telegram routine was broken, and he was led by the nose and brought into rhythm, and replied: Here, what's the matter, Brother Zhao?

Xiao Wu raised his head, looked at Zhao Chuanxin stupidly, and waited for his reply.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Brother Yang, do you know Zhang Rong?"

It took a long time to receive a reply: I know, I have committed a serious crime.

Zhang Gui is impatient, so she couldn't help persuading him: "Captain Zhao, you can explain things clearly in a few words."

"Who likes to read long stories?" Zhao Chuanxin disagreed. "Emotions have to be developed layer by layer."

In his thinking, if anyone sends him a long-winded WeChat message, he will just skip it.He chose not to listen to the voice beyond 20 seconds.

The same goes for telegrams.

Zhang Gui was anxious, so he had no choice but to hold back.

Zhao Chuanxin continued: "Brother Yang, can you let him go?"

Zhang Gui behind him supported the wall, feeling a little dizzy.

Didn't you mean layer by layer progressive emotion?
Open your mouth and directly ask for release?

Another long day.

Yang Yide replied: No, Governor Yuan personally intervened in the case.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Brother Yang, make an offer!"

Behind him, Zhang Gui became nervous again.

Sometimes, price is the key.

What was entangled and nervous in her heart was that she was afraid that her family would not be able to afford that much money.

After all, honoring Li Lianying has already cost a lot of money.

Yang Yide replied: This time, it's really not about the price, it's really not letting go.

Zhang Gui was disappointed.

The mood is like riding a roller coaster.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Okay, brother Yang will help me take care of one or two first, and I will spare time to go to Tianjin City next year, you know."

Yang Yide: A little understanding, a little understanding!
Xiao Wu has opened his eyes today.

It's the first time I've seen someone send a telegram like this.

And Yang Yide, who was far away in Tianjin City, also laughed.

He stroked his hair and said to himself: "Don't say it, it's quite interesting to send a telegram like this, and the sense of anticipation is strong!"

After Zhao Chuanxin sent the telegram, he turned to Zhang Gui and said, "Don't worry, let him grow fat inside. Next year I will find time to go to Tianjin City to rescue him. I didn't have time before."

As long as Zhao Chuanxin agreed to save Zhang Rong, Zhang Gui would be satisfied.

She wanted to kneel down again.

As soon as Zhao Chuanxin stretched out her hand, she couldn't kneel down.

In just two years, two XHQs have kneeled down to him.

So Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart: Well, I can't be proud, I have to continue to work hard, there are still thousands of banner people who have never knelt down for me!
Zhang Gui said: "I really don't know how to thank Captain Zhao. If there is anyone who can help in the future, just ask."

"Okay, I will seriously think about what you can do to help, so that you can return the favor as soon as possible."

Zhang Gui: "..."

Are you so rude?

It was too late today, so Zhang Gui had to stay in a hotel in Lugang Town.

After seeing her off, Zhao Chuanxin looked up to the sky and sighed: "Hey, it's another day full of positive energy!"

Sometimes he feels melancholy, why do people have to live so fulfillingly?
Turning around, he said to Xiao Wu who sent him out: "Xiao Wu, don't learn how I help the weak, kind-hearted, righteous, and gentle and approachable. This is really not good."

Xiao Wu stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say.

Seeing her appearance, Zhao Chuanxin sighed again, and left the security station humming a song with his hands behind his back.

Although Ganfan is smart, his brain has been greatly developed.

But he still doesn't lose his dog's nature. Every time he leaves for a long time, he won't leave even an inch when he comes back, very clingy.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"I've told you ten thousand times, that canned food is too sweet, it's not good to eat too much."

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"Okay, let's not make an example this time. It's already dark, and I don't know if the store is closed."

He was also really tired, he couldn't keep his eyes open after eating, and fell asleep when he touched the pillow.

the next day.

Li Zhitao, who was still soundly asleep, was called up.

"Get up, eat, and go to training after eating."

Li Zhitao yawned big, rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up.

He didn't dare to neglect, dragging his sleepy body to wash up quickly.

Even so, before he finished washing, someone knocked on the door again: "What are you dawdling in? It's stupid!"

When Li Zhitao went out, he saw Chuishuiju who was also squinting.

The two were taken to the cafeteria.

"Take the dinner plate and line up to eat. Don't eat too much, you have to train later, you will vomit if you are too full!"

The member of the insurance team who led the way ordered impatiently.

Li Zhitao and Chuishuiju followed the team to take the plate.

The dinner plates are all wooden, large, and have grooves, and bowls, chopsticks and plates need to be placed in the grooves.

Li Zhitao imitated others and went to the window to eat.

The chef in the cafeteria gave him a bowl of porridge, six large buns with white flour, a plate of pickles mixed with cabbage, and three hard-boiled eggs.

That's not much?
Li Zhitao's eyes lit up, the food was good.

At this time, someone called away the member of the insurance team who was leading them, as if something was wrong.

Change to another person to carry them.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Daquan, deputy company commander of the insurance team."

Li Zhitao and Chuishuiju were flattered: "Hello, Company Commander Zhang."

They already have a rough idea of ​​the structure of the insurance team. The deputy company commander is already a very high-ranking existence, and they are all veterans of the insurance team who can climb to this position.

Fortunately, Zhang Daquan looks very simple and honest, as if he is easy to talk to.

Zhang Daquan said cheerfully: "Let's find a place to sit down and eat quickly. If we don't have enough, ask for more. If we are late, we will run out of food."

Blowing Water Ju said: "No, I think there is still a pot of porridge, a lot of buns and eggs."

Zhang Daquan said with a smile: "Too young, too naive."

After sitting down and listening to the sporadic sounds around them, the two of them understood Zhang Daquan's words.

These people are like a competition, whoever finishes eating first will trot to the window to continue cooking.

In just a moment, the big-headed and thick-necked master chef at the window yelled, "I'm done with today's meal, don't come here!"

"..."

The two of them only ate one steamed bun and just finished peeling the skin of an egg.

Blowing Water Ju unconsciously increased his speed.

Zhang Daquan said very honestly: "In the future, if you have a big appetite, you should eat quickly. It's just right if you have a small appetite. Some people can eat forty buns in one meal!"

Li Zhitao gasped.

He imagined for a while, forty steamed stuffed buns got a pot, how could the stomach hold it?
terrible!

Zhang Daquan said again: "Of course, if you eat meat buns every day, you won't be able to eat them after a long time. At the beginning, everyone was short of oil and water in their stomachs."

After eating, Zhang Daquan took the two of them out.

By this time it was already daylight.

The insurance team lined up and started running.

Everyone took off their down jackets and wore thin cotton clothes.

Only Li Zhitao and Chuishuiju were still foolishly wearing thick padded jackets.

It’s impossible not to wear it. Southerners who come to the north are not tolerant to the severe cold, so they shiver if they don’t wear enough clothes.

But after running, the breakfast gradually turned into heat and radiated out, and the heavy cotton clothes would consume more energy for them.

Not only was I tired and out of breath, but I was also sweating profusely, steaming inside the padded jacket, and the water vapor couldn't get out, making it as uncomfortable as I wanted.

Seeing the white smoke rising from the top of their heads, Zhang Daquan was delighted.

"Forgot to tell you to wear thin clothes."

Li Zhitao also practiced martial arts with others when he was a child, and he practiced Nanquan.But in terms of physical fitness, he felt that these people were animals, as if they were tireless, and they ran endlessly, which was incomparable.

Out of breath, he asked Zhang Daquan: "Company commander, how long do you have to run?"

Zhang Daquan breathed evenly, and his face remained normal.

He said lightly, "Did you see the highest mountain? That's the finish line. It's over after running over and back to the shooting range."

It was said that Li Zhitao's feet were unsteady, and a big horse fell on the snow.

He was exhausted, but the distance was less than halfway.

I'm not alive, I'm dead.

Zhao Chuanxin also ran along once before, and he thought the same way. He didn't run away after killing him halfway, but walked back directly.

After being exhausted to the extreme, people will really have the idea that life is worse than death.

As for Blowing Water Ju, his brain was buzzing at this time, he couldn't listen to anything, and he just relied on instinct to hold his breath.

Zhang Daquan leaned over, and cleverly pulled Li Zhitao up from the ground: "Keep running, don't stop, otherwise the punishment for quitting halfway will really make your life worse than death."

This is already worse than death, is there anything more powerful?
Thinking of this, Li Zhitao developed a burst of strength and started to run.

In the end, the two of them were half-supported by several people in turn to run the whole distance.

When they arrived at the shooting range, Li Zhitao and Chuishuiju both had one thought in their heads: What am I doing here?Am I still alive?Why don't you go back to Hong Kong Island and carry sacks.

Carrying sacks is so blissful.

In fact, just like carrying a bag, running is also clever.

As long as you get used to it, there's nothing special about it.

The two limp on the ground like dead dogs.

Zhang Daquan patiently pulled them up one by one: "You two lie down on the snow like this. First, you will sweat and catch a cold, and you will easily get sick. Second, it will be difficult to get up again after lying down. There will be training in a while."

Blowing Water Ju felt his tongue was numb, and said with a big tongue: "Company Commander, we just arrived, shouldn't the training be easier?"

"It's only been a few years since the Eight-Nation Allied Forces came in. Don't you guys have to get used to it and resist after they've been killed and robbed? Did you know to forgive me after the butcher's knife cut off your head?"

Li Zhitao, who was full of thoughts of giving up, said: "But what does the Eight-Nation Allied Forces have to do with us?"

Zhang Daquan didn't speak.

But not far away, a handsome man with a dignified face came over, raised the thorn in his hand, and without warning, slapped Li Zhitao's face and body, crackling.

Big Vat Peach also wanted face, so he immediately resisted.

With a punch, the man threw away the thorn, put his back on his back and sank his horse, lowering his head and dodging easily.

With a backhand right uppercut, Li Zhitao's cheeks deformed, his muscles trembled, his head flicked twice on his neck, and he began to feel dizzy.

After the man finished his right uppercut, he punched his stomach again.

Li Zhitao covered his stomach, "Wow", he vomited out all the undigested food.

Seeing his eldest brother being beaten, Chuishuiju hurried forward, wanting to surround and beat him up.

But he saw a sneer on the corner of the man's mouth, and instead of retreating, he stepped forward quickly, his waist and hips were twisted, his head was slightly lowered, his right arm was down, his left arm was touching, and his shoulder suddenly slammed into the water blowing horse.

A note sticking to the mountain, the water blowing horse didn't react, and the person flew out backwards.

This person was Zhao Zhongyi, Li Zhitao and Chuishuiju had seen each other before, but today he was too tired to remember, so he shot Zhao Zhongyi in anger.

As a result, it was cut badly!
