mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 268

Xian Yubin boarded the mountain bag, hugged the hidden shell-shaped stone platform, and moved to the front to check.

After a day, the sun baked and the sea breeze scratched, the hibiscus not only did not wilt, but the leaves became more green.

Faintly, Xian Yubin also felt that the trunk seemed to be raised a little.

He was amazed.

Combined with the Seoul Grand Hotel, the rumors that Hasegawa Yoshidou, commander of the Japanese army, was fed, plus the Japanese army was ran away, and then weeds grew around the grand hotel... Xian Yubin finally thought thoroughly, and a thread clearly emerged in front of him.

It's not the blood of the people who died in vain, it watered the weeds and made them grow.

Everything is the ghost of Zhao Chuanxin.

No, it's not a ghost, it's a spell.

"Sir, he knows the spells of the Central Plains, and he also knows the spells of the West. All the gods of the sea and fire must obey his orders. He can also direct the growth of young trees. It's really amazing."

Xian Yubin understood, and measured his legs against the trunk of the little tree, then ran down the hill and came back to report.

"Sir, the little tree is alive."

Zhao Chuanxin, who was washing rice, asked, "Does it still stink?"

"Smelly, but the smell is not so strong."

After dinner, Zhao Chuanxin set up two low sheds made of rocks.

The stone pillars are rough and sharp, and the roof is thin, which can cover the dew but not the wind.

On the rocky ground, Zhao Chuanxin took extra care to make it smooth so that his skin would not suffer.

He took out two beddings and handed one to Xian Yubin: "Let's get some sleep."

Xian Yubin hugged the brand new quilt, sniffed it, it smelled of cotton oil, it smelled very good.

Xi Zizi said: "This is already very good, I used to go to Town God's Temple and temples to sleep."

The surrounding hills resist the cool sea breeze.

The dark night sky, the stars are cold.

Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart: In the future, no one will say that Lao Tzu stretches out his hands to eat and opens his mouth, and beat him with his big mouth.

See, he can also eat and sleep, and he can also make do with it.

Accompanied by the ethereal sea breeze in the chant style, with the satisfaction of "I can endure hardship and am I proud", Zhao Chuanxin fell into a deep sleep.

As usual, he didn't wake up until three poles in the sun, and he habitually opened his eyes in a daze for a while.

After figuring out who he is, where he is, and what happened, he sat up and put the quilt into the secret realm.

Tilting his head, Xian Yubin got up early as before, and he didn't know where he went.

He came to the pool, fortunately, it was running water, and he could find a source of gurgling on the shore.

Ask the canal how clear it is, because there is a source of flowing water.

I scooped up water in a glass jar and washed with a toothbrush and powder.

At this time, Xian Yubin came running back with excitement, and said excitedly, "Sir, that little tree has really grown taller."

Zhao Chuanxin spit out the foam and rinsed his mouth: "Why do you grow taller?"

Xian Yubin gestured on his leg: "Yesterday I marked the location of the branch, come here. I just measured it, and it's as tall as my waist."

Then it looks like four or five centimeters.

Zhao Chuanxin was also surprised that the old god's chamber pot was well-deserved.

Could it be that the excrement and urine of the old gods in the chamber pot have been fermented and composted for hundreds of millions of years and turned into super fertilizers?

He said, "I'll go take a look too."

……

When Zhao Chuanxin was the owner of the island, it was rumored in Seoul that Zhao Chuanxin had fallen asleep with his concubine Nabeshima Itoko.

With nose and eyes.

During the tense anti-Japanese struggle, the people of Seoul had more entertainment after dinner, which greatly relieved their tense nerves.

The news spread like a plague and reached the Governor's Mansion.

"Is this news reliable?"

"It's absolutely true. It is said that it came from the palace."

"Pear Bengong Shouzhengwang, I'm afraid he's going to be furious?"

"That's for sure, who wouldn't be angry? Don't say it, this God of War is really good at tricks. I heard that he has a fight with Ximen Qing in "Jin Ping Mei", and he has five unique skills."

"Which five unique skills? Why haven't I heard of them?"

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin's melons have a halo bonus during this period of time.

Spreads extremely fast.

Originally, Li Hongong Shouzheng had no access to the gossip of the low-level people.

He wanted to leave Daehan today and take the princess away from the place of right and wrong, hoping to dilute that unpleasant memory.

However, when I went to say hello to Ito Hirobumi.

He was at the corner of the stairs of the Governor's Mansion, and heard the clerk's discussion.

The ancient poems of the Central Plains, and even various masterpieces, have been widely spread in Asia.

It can be said that, now and before, the culture of the Central Plains is the mainstream culture of Asia.

Therefore, Journey to the West, Outlaws of the Marsh, Three Kingdoms, and the Red Chamber, plus peripheral episodes such as "Jin Ping Mei", are almost familiar to cultural people, if not familiar.

Rikamoto Mamoru listened to their conversation, his scalp felt numb, and his heart seemed to have a surge of electricity, which made his heart rhythm become disordered.

He really wanted to rush over, grab the collar of the person who spoke, and ask viciously where the rumor came from.

But I can't afford to lose that person.

Any outbursts of embarrassment will speed up the spread of rumors.

Angrily, he turned back and left the Governor's Mansion, got into the rickshaw and roared: "Pull me back!"

After going home,
Nabeshima Itoko sat in front of the dressing table, staring in a daze at the small mirror.

Mamoru Rikamoto saw his wife's beautiful face and unique temperament, and his heart twitched violently.

All kindness, all beauty, seemed to be leaving him.

For many days, Nabeshima Itoko was lukewarm to him.

There was no harsh words, no deliberate accusations, and even the texture of that expression was not cold.

But Li Ben Gongshouzheng knew that everything had changed.

The momentum that was originally full was suddenly released.

Rika Mamoru said bitterly, "Itoko, let's go back to Japan."

Nabeshima Yiduzi said indifferently: "Oh, don't you think about your daughter and Prince Yimin?"

Rika Mamoru gritted his teeth and said, "Fang Zi, she and Hirohito are close, let her choose her own future."

Hirohito is currently the crown prince of Japan. When the current emperor dies, it is a certainty that he will become the next emperor.

In terms of kinship, Mamoru Narimoto is Hirohito's uncle.

Nabeshima Itoko let out a soft sigh.

Although Fangzi Rikamoto is small, she naively thinks that she can become the imperial concubine of the Japanese Empire.

But Rika Mamoru felt that she should marry the prince of North Korea, as this kind of marriage would be more helpful to the family.

Nabeshima Itoko is extremely disgusted with this kind of marriage, because she is the victim.

Now her daughter's wish has been fulfilled, but she herself doesn't seem to be so eager to leave Dahan.

But in the end, she still said, "Okay, I'll pack up and let's go."

……

In China, some people in Qinzhou rebelled again.

On Jiandao, Saito Kijiro never stopped, and had rubbed against the backwater army seven or eight times, large and small.

In Seoul, South Korea, the situation is even worse.

The Japanese searched everywhere for volunteer soldiers and rebel guards.

Today, there are already some members of the God of War team, with friends and friends, boarded the boat one after another, and secretly landed on God of War Island.

Since the opening of the port, Jemulpo has become increasingly prosperous.

Many Japanese people come here to seek a living, some are fishing, some are doing business, and some are working in handicraft workshops.

No one can tell how many of these various Japanese are lurking here with special missions.

It is not too much to have one spy in ten people.

Therefore, the members of the God of War team took off the military uniforms of the original guards and put on ordinary clothes, some were western clothes, and some were Korean traditional gowns and high hats.Some simply dress up as farmers or fishermen.

Use various methods to conceal people's eyes and ears, hide weapons, sneak onto the boat, and row the boat in an arc, for fear of being spotted by others.

Park Seung Yeol has arrived on the island.

He and a group of people surrounded Zhao Chuanxin and asked the most itchy question in his heart: "Mr. Zhao, did you sleep with the princess? This matter has already spread in Seoul."

"Sleeping or not, don't you have any clues in your mind? Your majesty told you about this, right?"

Now that Li Xi has lost his power, he is forced to be laid off and spends all day crying towards Gong'e.

There are limited channels to vent, so he made such a bad move. Being able to add a little bit of trouble to the Japanese can be regarded as a sigh of relief for himself.

"Well, I really don't know." Park Seung-yeol hesitated.Then he asked: "Mr. Zhao, how did you make Princess Li Bengong never forget you?"

Zhao Chuanxin was still wearing the same long robe, the hem of which was blown up by the sea breeze. He said lightly, "Why? You have seen Li Hongong Shouzheng, right? I look better than him in clothes, and I look better than him in clothes. What do you say Why does the princess never forget me?"

Thinking of Zhao Chuanxin's upright muscular body, Park Seungyeol was extremely envious.

To say that women in this era like rough men who are five big and three rough is pure nonsense.

But just like what Zhao Chuanxin said, he still looks good in clothes, without looking too fleshy at all.

Between men and men, it is really difficult to say compliments on looks.

Seeing their constipated expressions, Zhao Chuanxin chuckled and took out a small mirror to take a picture: "Don't think I'm handsome, in fact, there are so many beautiful men in the world. Zhao often looks at himself in the mirror, but it's far away."

"..."

Park Seung Yeol is very sour.

He felt that it was better to kill Zhao Chuanxin's prestige in a subtle and tactful way.

He said, "Mr. Zhao, it is rumored that you have the same five talents as Ximen Qing."

Click till.

I thought Zhao Chuanxin would be ashamed.

After all, at this time, this is not a good word.

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement, generally having the same idea as Park Shengyeol.

Zhao Chuanxin was really furious: "What? Although it is true that the women on the line with Zhao are 'warm, wet, fragrant and soft', I will never allow them to tarnish my image like this."

hiss……

Everyone thinks a little.

I am Cao!

This ancient strange sentence was contradicted by Zhao Chuanxin today.

Park Seungyeol felt a sense of frustration.

Looking at Zhao Chuanxin in a daze: Are you justifying, or showing off?
He hurriedly changed the subject: "Ahem, what, Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by letting us come to this island? Could it be that we are temporarily stationed here?"

Zhao Chuanxin's angry expression was fleeting: "Oh, look at my memory. Let's go, take you to see the camp. Xianyubin, you stay here, if someone comes, take it to me."

Waiting for everyone to arrive at the temporary camp.

Park Shengyeol and a group of people looked at the "God of War crossing map" on the wall, and opened their mouths in surprise.

This is definitely a masterpiece of Neo-Impressionism and Cubism relief style, and its formal significance gives people a strong inner feeling.

Whether you understand it or not, you will be silent when you read it.

Too pretentious.

Park Shengyeol went up to touch it on purpose, and found that the stone wall is a seamless one. It is not made of lime that has been popular in recent years, and it is definitely not an ordinary masonry structure.

"This...was Mr. Zhao built it with that kind of magic?" He turned his head to look at Zhao Chuanxin, and asked expectantly, "Mr. Zhao, did you build a beautiful camp for us with magic?"

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned, why did he cause such a misunderstanding?
He pointed to the stone pillar next to him: "That's your camp, ahem, it can be considered exquisite."

Everyone turned their heads and saw that these pillars are in a group of four. There are many groups here. The stone foundation is solid, but...

Nothing but pillars.

Park Shengyeol said in a daze, "These are the four pillars, how can people live in them?"

Are you beautiful?
Zhao Chuanxin took it for granted: "There is a forest over there, self-reliance, cutting down trees to build a shed. It would be nice to have a place to shelter from the rain. Do you see the small stone pavilion over there? I slept there all night last night, and I feel quite comfortable. good."

Park Shengyeol understood that the wall was beautiful because it was beautiful, and it was shocking if it was shocking, but it was purely made by Zhao Chuanxin for pretense.

They still have to work hard to build a grass shed for themselves, which is only better than the open air, but the strength is limited.

Zhao Chuanxin is not unreasonable.

In addition to erecting the pillars, he also set up a stone stove in the camp to make fire and cook food.

He even built a solid latrine for them.

Park Shenglie arranged the manpower to work, came to the latrine built by Zhao Chuanxin, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Zhao, what kind of building is this?"

Zhao Chuanxin was compassionate: "In order to solve your metabolic problems, I also broke my heart. This is a latrine, and you will take someone to dig a hole under it later."

"..." Park Shenglie felt a strong unwillingness in his heart: "Mr. Zhao, this toilet is even more luxurious than the place where we live."

"You're still too young. Sometimes the toilet is more important than the shelter."

In fact, Zhanshen Island is not a good place to live. The biggest hidden danger is that once the Japanese troops land on all sides, they will be made dumplings.

But South Korea is too small. If you want to move under the eyes of the Japanese, the island of Jemulpo is the best choice.

Jemulpo is only about [-] kilometers away from Seoul, and it arrives in the morning and evening, and it can come and go like the wind.

To develop an island, as long as there are enough people, it is like pushing a boat along the water. The difficulty is to push the boat into the water, and with a slight push, the whole island will come alive and develop on its own.

After working until noon, Zhao Chuanxin said to Park Shengyeol: "Actually, this place is also suitable for people to live in. Maybe, tourism will be developed in the future. One day I leave, and you can also develop here yourself."

Park Seung-yeol was taken aback: "Mr. Zhao, are you leaving?"

"Sooner or later I will go."

Zhao Chuanxin said without any scruples.

The fall of South Korea is actually a fixed number, and it will not change just because of the appearance of a God of War.

Xiang Yu is also very fierce, but it is Liu Bang who wins the world in the end.

Lu Bu was also very fierce, but he died quite early, and he couldn't see the wonderful historical trend behind him.

It can be delayed for a day. If the God of War team grows under his hands, and finally grows into a thorn in the flesh of the Japanese for a long time, then Zhao Chuanxin will be very popular.

Park Seung-yeol was silent for a while, and said: "If there is no room for us to live in Daehan, if His Majesty accepts his fate, then I want to leave with Mr. Zhao."

After finishing speaking, he glanced confusedly at the busy figures around him who were sweating profusely.

Suddenly doubt life, do these in the end there is no point.

Zhao Chuanxin patted him on the shoulder: "It's easy to say, it's not urgent. I'll go to Jimulpo first to buy some food. There are so many people, my chopsticks are so thin."

Jemulpo is affected by the mobile high pressure in the Central China region, and the southwesterly wind blows in this season, which often causes sea fog.

Especially today, the sea is so white that it is difficult to see.

In fact, this is also the reason why Zhao Chuanxin chose pirates as his residence.

He stepped on the fishing boat and looked into the distance. After finding that he couldn't see anything clearly, under Park Shengyeol's astonished eyes, he plunged into the sea.

After that, Park Seung Yeol lost track of Zhao Chuanxin.

He ran for more than ten meters on the shore, but still couldn't see Zhao Chuanxin surfacing from the water.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin was tens of meters away.

Swimming in the sea is much faster than Park Seung Yeol running on the shore.

When he arrived at the port of Jimulpo, Zhao Chuanxin saw two snot-nosed people sitting on the eucalyptus board of the pier, with their short legs dangling leisurely.

Suddenly seeing Zhao Chuanxin showing his head in the sea, the two got up in surprise and greeted each other.

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed the uprights of the pier, exerted a little force, and with the buoyancy of the blue ghost armor, boarded the pier.

There wasn't a drop of water on his robes.

Snot Baby is obviously used to his various "spells" and is no longer surprised.

Zhao Chuanxin put his hands behind his back and asked, "You two will lead me the way, looking for Japanese shops."

Then, each person gave two copper coins.

The two snot-nosed babies were so beautiful that they almost burst their snot bubbles.

"Mr. Zhao, there are a lot of Japanese shops here. What do you want to buy? For fabrics and clothes, go to Kobe Textile. For spices and seafood, go to Tokyo House..."

In fact, there are more Japanese in Jemulpo than Zhao Chuanxin imagined.

At least one-third of the shops here are owned by Japanese businessmen.

These two snot-nosed babies are very familiar with the topography of Jimulpo, and they really know everything about the shop.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Go to the food and grain store first, and then I will run a few more times and take me around. There will be rewards when the work is finished, even if you two go to a restaurant to eat and drink, it is enough gone."

The slightly shorter snot-nosed baby said happily: "To buy food and condiments, then go to Sumitomo Store and Maru Dai Chamber of Commerce!"

Zhao Chuanxin and two bouncing snot-nosed babies walked into the bustling streets of Jimulpo.

Jemulpo is indeed prosperous, because it is a hub of shipments and trade transactions, with a large number of foreign merchant ships calling.Japan, the Qing Dynasty, and all parts of Southeast Asia have trade relations with Korea.

On the street, Zhao Chuanxin could even hear the accent outside the pass.

When he came to the Sumitomo store, the clerk was a little surprised to see Zhao Chuanxin, who was dressed in simple but very fairy clothes, with two snot-nosed babies who were obviously street bums.

But he still came forward to say hello with a smile: "Hello, what do you need?"

Zhao Chuanxin turned his nostrils to the sky and said in English: "What do you need? I need you to stay away from me and let me see for myself."

Zhao Chuanxin once went shopping with Takano Mariko in Kobe, and he can understand some simple hospitality Japanese.

But he won't say it.

When the clerk heard this, not only was he not angry, but he bowed lower and lower: "I'm sorry, I took the liberty, but please take your time."
