mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 601
The demon monk Zhao Chuanxin drew out the elf carving knife, bowed his body, and quickly passed a light boat.

lol...

Bleeding to the sky.

The group of Taihu pirates were rowing hard just a moment ago and had no idea what was going on.

But Ah Bao saw it clearly, they were all her subordinates, her eyes were tearing apart, and her heart was bleeding: "Run, run..."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin went around in a circle, turned his body sideways, water splashed under his feet, and a water curtain was set off four or five meters high.

By the time the water curtain fell, the Taihu Pirates had lost Zhao Chuanxin's figure.

what happened?
After seeing the heads of all the people in the companion's light boat separated, they screamed in fright.

……

After walking away, Zhao Chuanxin smiled at Abao on his shoulder and said, "Oh, if you stay with me for half an hour, you might lose three pounds. I hope the baby fat won't disappear. You're still pretty."

Abao's head was hung deeply, and he was sobbing, which made those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled unabated: "Tell me, where is your money hidden? Don't tell me, I will go back and continue to kill."

Ah Bao was sobbing so much that people worried that she would die at any time, she took a deep breath: "Go south, bypassing Xishan Island, there is an arrow clustered beach..."

She was really scared.

This man has a smile on his face and kills people like he kills chickens!
When Zhao Chuanxin arrived at his destination, he couldn't help but walk around the tidal flat. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became: "It's actually a heart shape?"

It has dense vegetation and flocks of birds.

Zhao Chuanxin landed and put A Bao down.

Abao led the way with his hands behind his back.

After taking two steps, she suddenly turned around: "I think it's convenient, so please stay."

Zhao Chuanxin: "Okay, okay, you go ahead, I'll just keep an eye on you."

"..." Ah Bao emphasized again: "People have three urgencies."

"Understood." Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "I'll just watch you from afar."

Zhuo, did I ask you to watch it?

Ah Bao gritted his teeth: "Okay!"

She walked slowly to the edge of the lake and stopped, as if looking at the reflection in the water, how could she look anxious?

Zhao Chuanxin coughed: "It's useless for you to dive, believe me. And if you commit suicide, none of the Taihu pirates will survive."

Abao's thoughts were revealed, he sighed, turned around and came back: "I won't go."

She really wanted to commit suicide by throwing herself into a lake just now.

But when I met Zhao Chuanxin, I really couldn't survive or die.

Obediently leading the way, in a dense patch of reeds, Abao stepped into the water, walked a few steps and stopped.

Here is a water stone that is level with the water.

Because the water in the heart-shaped tidal flat is almost waveless, the top of the water stone is flush with the water surface, and there are reeds nearby. If you don't look carefully, you really can't find a stone hidden under the water.

Zhao Chuanxin walked over and the lake parted. He stepped directly onto the water stone and moved around. He found that the bottom was very stable. It was obvious that the water stone was deeply rooted in the underwater part and was difficult to shake.

Abao turned around and said, "Can you untie the rope?"

Zhao Chuanxin just raised his hand, but Ah Bao didn't see any sharp blade drawn by him, but the rope in his hand broke.

Abao first moved his stiff wrists, leaned over and moved an inconspicuous stone away. Zhao Chuanxin looked over and saw that the stone was actually hollowed out.

Of course, some water was poured in, but it was not full.

Ah Bao pointed to the hole in the stone and said, "It's all here."

There were several ropes tied to the upper edge of the grotto, and Zhao Chuanxin pulled one up casually, with a bag attached to it, which was heavy inside.

After pulling it up, when the water was gone, Zhao Chuanxin opened the soaked and rotten bag and looked inside, it was full of silver.

There are all kinds of silver horseshoes, silver weights and silver knives.

He pulled up another bag, which was full of silver coins.

Pull it up again, there is no gold, silver and jewels inside...

All the bags were proposed by Zhao Chuanxin, and after a rough calculation, he couldn't help but annoyed: "This place is worth 2 silver dollars at most? Just this fucking money? Is this money worth fighting like I am?"

Ah Bao even forgot his sadness: "What? Ten or twenty thousand silver dollars is too little for you?"

Fan Gaotou, who was more famous than Kunxiu Abao, often robbed foreigners of opium before his death. One transaction was only worth two to three thousand silver dollars.

And this thing is not a job, so it is impossible to clock in every day. How many activities can you do in a year?
During the years of licking blood from the edge of a knife, it was already quite a feat to save ten or twenty thousand silver dollars.

But this was far from what Zhao Chuanxin had expected. He thought it would be at least tens to millions.

He couldn't help being exasperated: "What the hell is that unreasonable? Is 2 or [-] yuan worth risking your life?"

A Bao's eyes flashed: "Who are you?"

With such a big tone and such a big ambition, he must not be an unknown person.

Zhao Chuanxin put the money away, and sighed, "Who else is the poor monk? Naturally, it's Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand—Cheng Kun!"

"..."

Abao obviously has never heard of this name.

"Now that the gold and silver have been collected, it's up to you to kill or cut them into pieces."

Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes: "You must have other places to hide money."

Abao's eyes flashed: "Although there is no place to hide the money, I know that a big deal is much bigger than this Dongting wave boating operation."

"Oh?" Zhao Chuanxin was suspicious instead: "You little widow, what good intentions can you have? Don't think I can't see it! Now tell me in front of me, what kind of big deal is it?"

"..." Ah Bao said, "You have to promise me one thing first."

Zhao Chuanxin immediately patted his chest: "As long as this matter is serious, let alone say one thing, why not even if I promise you ten things?"

"You help me kill the two patrolmen who arrested my husband, kill the court official, and kill the county official, and I will tell you."

Zhao Chuanxin immediately said, "Okay, tell me."

Abao shook his head and sneered: "You have to kill them first. It's just a piece of cake for you."

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his index finger and shook it: "No, no, no, I have to get the money first before I can help you."

A glimmer of success flashed in Abao's eyes: "You have to swear to keep your promise."

Zhao Chuanxin immediately raised his three fingers to the sky: "If you don't keep your promise, let Cheng Kun, the thunderbolt hand of Hunyuan, die without a burial place."

Seeing him so happy, Ah Bao said, "Do you recognize Sheng Xuanhuai?"

"I don't know, but I've heard of it."

"Do you know about Hanyang Iron Works and Daye Iron Mine?"

Zhao Chuanxin became impatient: "Say it once and for all, otherwise don't blame me for whipping you."

Abao was startled. This man was moody. She didn't dare to tell anyone any more: "The imperial court is corrupt. Hanyang Iron Works and Daye Iron Mine are both run by government officials. All business operations run by government officials are corrupt. This is The same is true for the No. 300 Factory. Since Sheng Xuanhuai took over, he repeatedly borrowed money from Japan to maintain operations. Due to consecutive years of losses, last year, the No. 300 Factory was converted from a government-supervised commercial operation to a fully commercial operation. Sheng Xuanhuai sent people abroad to seek for refining. The New Steel Law. The man returned to China and reported the situation. Coupled with the temptation of Japan Steel, Sheng Xuanhuai used all the properties of Daowan Mine and Mining Bureau as collateral to borrow [-] million yen from the Industrial Bank of Japan in order to establish a new steel industry. The Hanyeping Coal and Iron Works and Mining Company. One of the money belongs to the Japanese Iron Works. Although it is not as much as [-] million, there are at least hundreds of thousands of yen. If you have the ability to seize this money, That is far better than me waiting for the bodyguard to sell salt. It will add a bit more prestige and excitement to satisfy your gluttonous appetite..."

Zhao Chuanxin could not remember such historical details at all, but he knew that the iron works and iron mines in Hankou did fall into the hands of the Japanese at a certain period of time.

He narrowed his eyes: "But how do I know where the money is?"

Abao hesitated for a moment: "If you don't kill me, I can go with you to Hankou and ask the friends from the rivers and lakes there for information."

Zhao Chuanxin thought carefully, from A Bao's point of view, what good would this matter do her?
First, you can survive.

Second, maybe she is still planning to make Zhao Chuanxin offend Sheng Xuanhuai, thereby offending the Qing court and the Japanese. Maybe she thinks that Zhao Chuanxin will definitely die.

In other words, he took revenge indirectly.

But in case, if Zhao Chuanxin succeeds and survives, because of the "poisonous oath", Zhao Chuanxin will help her avenge her.

Three birds with one stone.

After Zhao Chuanxin heard that all the heavy industries in Hankou were going to fall into the hands of the Japanese, he couldn't help thinking a little more.

Zhao Chuanxin certainly understands the importance of heavy industry.

Yokoguda, a little Japanese, is really uneasy and kind.

He pretended to be obsessed with money, and said, "That's fine, but you little widow with a tricky brain, don't let your mind wander."

"Bah!" Abao spat: "Who is so sneaky?"

Without saying a word, Zhao Chuanxin picked her up, stepped into the waves of the lake and galloped northward.

Abao struggled: "Can't you let me go?"

Zhao Chuanxin: "Okay, I can tie a rope around your neck and drag you in the lake."

Can you still live?What is the difference between hanging and hanging?
Bao didn't dare to speak anymore.

Because Zhao Chuanxin can definitely do it.

In 10 minutes, I ran from the south to the north.

Benjamin Goldberg and Zhao Yixian were chatting.

Zhao Yixian asked: "Where are you and Zhao Shenxian going?"

Benjamin Goldberg pointed to the west and said: "Go to Hankou, then enter Sichuan, go west from Lizhou across Feiyue Ridge, cross the Dadu River at Luding Bridge, pass through Kangding, cross the Zheduo Mountain Pass, and go straight west to reach the entrance of the Yajiang River. Hidden. Go back and forth in circles, pass through the desert, detour through the grasslands, and finally go outside the pass..."

This was the first time Zhao Yixian heard Benjamin Goldberg's complete narrative line, and he couldn't help but take a breath: "How can your body bear such a run?"

Benjamin Goldberg glanced at him sideways: "If you lose a pound of meat on the way, I lose!"

Master's magic reaches the sky, there is no obstacle that he cannot overcome, and there is no river that he cannot cross.

Although the boat ride is hard, it is not a trap, it will not endure the bitter cold, and it is not afraid of bandits and bullies.

Zhao Yixian smashed his mouth, he was a little hungry.

Indeed, the meat he ate along the way was almost as much as the meat and meat in the first 30 years.

He set up a pergola with his hands, looked at the rice fields in the northwest direction, and sighed with emotion: "Hey, where is the way for a good man?"

Suddenly he heard a voice coming from far and near, and he smiled brightly: "The road is at your feet!"

It was Zhao Chuanxin!
Abao couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Zhao Chuanxin's words.

She believes in Buddhism, and an old monk once said to her: "The stubborn stone will eventually nod, and the cause and effect will prove Amitabha!"

Now it seems that the hozens will scatter when the tree falls, and the group of subordinates will be left without a leader. Without Kunxiu and himself, they will eventually scatter back to the fields.Kunxiu is dead, but her life or death is uncertain in the hands of this monster monk.If one day she is able to take off her clothes, she will put down the butcher knife, pick up the fragrance of bamboo shoots and vegetables, her strength will be soaring, she will be surrounded by ancient trees in the setting sun, wearing silk clothes and skirts, tea and rice with water, flowers, fragrant lamps, and the company of the ancient Buddha with a green lantern.

Therefore, after hearing what Zhao Chuanxin said, she suddenly realized something.

And Zhao Yixian slapped his thigh: "Zhao..."

Zhao Chuanxin glared at him: "Huh?"

Zhao Yixian quickly shut up.

Putting Abao down, Zhao Chuanxin sneered when he saw that she was absent-minded, and said, "Gah? Do you want to plan your own retirement?"

Abao's heart tightened. This man was really a magician. He could actually see through his own mind?
Zhao Chuanxin pulled Zhao Yixian and Benjamin Goldberg aside, winked and whispered, "Remember, my name is Cheng Kun, the Thunderbolt Hand of Hunyuan."

Then I took out the hot pot, lit the charcoal stove on the lee side of the Taihu Lake, took clean water, prepared the bottom material, and prepared to have a hot pot meal.

While he was busy, Benjamin Goldberg asked: "Master, how much did you do for God?"

Zhao Chuanxin grinned: "Not much, not much, how much? 2 yuan is not much."

Benjamin Goldberg was also surprised: "What? It's only 2 yuan? These poor people."

Zhao Chuanxin taught a lesson: "Remember, when the poor have nothing to eat, it is also a form of politeness for you to eat fish and meat in a low voice."

"Oh, I understand, Master."

Abao: "..."

The disciple of the demon monk had such a loud tone.

This master and disciple must have seen the big world.

When Zhao Chuanxin and others were preparing the hot pot.

On the Yangtze River, on the river cruise from Shanghai to Hankou, Sheng Xuanhuai and his favorite fourth son Sheng Enyi are looking at the scenery on both sides of the river on the deck.

This ship is also the property of Sheng Xuanhuai's family.

Sheng Xuanhuai said to his son: "Do you know the reason why your father took you to Hankou?"

Sheng Enyi pretended to be clever and nodded: "Of course I know, my father wants me to see the world."

"Haha." Sheng Xuanhuai said noncommittally: "In the past, I worked with Li Zhongtang for my father. In the hot summer, I galloped hundreds of miles a day without fear of hard work. Only then did I show off my talents. Therefore, talent alone is not enough."
