mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 906 Du Li asks three questions

"What are you talking about?" Miao Cuihua scolded.

"Rachel, where is Samuel?" Zhao Chuanxin changed the topic and asked Rachel Kervis.

"You don't know yet, but he is now employed by Lugang Town Bank as a manager." Rachel Kervis said proudly. "But he probably won't be there for long, because Mr. Liu thinks he is more suitable for administrative work and wants to transfer him to the police station. He will be off work soon."

Zhao Chuanxin went to wash his hands and wipe them randomly on his body when Rachel Kervis and Miao Cuihua walked into the kitchen.

Miao Cuihua is also a diligent woman.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the black and white photos of the two of them placed on the two cabinets. In the photos, the two people stood with an obvious sense of alienation and tacit understanding of an old couple.

It seems to be telling everyone: Our love has become family affection.

The Ten Commandments of Moses in Hebrew are hung on the wall, and a Bible is symmetrically placed on the cabinet below.

Zhao Chuanxin also saw some framed and square carp paper-cuts with the word "Fu", ox horn combs, birch bark baskets and other artworks with characteristics outside Guanxi.

Thomas Chamberlain said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Amadeus Miller is indeed a smart young man, but I know that you have a smarter student, Mr. Goldberg's child."

At this time, some doubts suddenly appeared on his face.

Okay, okay, show off to my son, right?
At this time, Rachel Kervis walked out of the kitchen carrying a dinner plate: "What are you so excited about? Dinner is ready."

Thomas Chamberlain said: "Zhao, you inspired me a lot last time we discussed global warming. After I returned to China, I told my colleagues that they couldn't believe that there was such a far-sighted person in the far East. People. As you can see, there are more and more cars now, but of course, the exhaust is not enough to change the ecological environment.”

Thomas Chamberlain paused after hearing this, and suddenly said: "I have heard a lot of bad things. To be honest, Zhao, I don't really agree with the things you did in the United States."

Thomas Chamberlain: "..."

When they saw Zhao Chuanxin, both of them were stunned.

It’s easy to see that Rachel Kervis passed a lot of boring time by collecting these gadgets.

"What the hell? Benjamin is smart? Among my three apprentices, he is the least effective. Although he can converse in Hebrew, English and Hungarian at the age of six, he teaches himself calculus at the age of eight, and he has read forty-eight volumes at the age of ten. World history, he read "The Theory of Functions" at the age of twelve, and now he can work as an assistant to Nikola Tesla. He is proficient in Chinese, and he is well versed in economics and makes a fortune..." Zhao Chuanxin stared and said: "But , Thomas, you must understand that Benjamin is the least useful among my three apprentices, he is nothing."

Because someone kicked him under the dining table.

"..."

interesting.

Thomas Chamberlain's mouth fell open.

Their family also loves spices.

Zhao Chuanxin patted him on the shoulder: "Dude, don't worry, I am a peacekeeper now, and I am about to join the International Arms Limitation Commission."

Zhao Chuanxin sat down at the bottom of the table with dignity and gave up the second seat to the guest Thomas Chamberlain.

"Sorry, we can't drink milk when we have meat," Rachel Kervis said. "Would you like to try the beer from Lugang Town or the imported wine?"

Samuel Goldberg first hung his own coat and then hung it for Thomas Chamberlain.

Samuel Goldberg said: "Ethan, I heard that you are back, but I have been very busy recently and haven't taken time to see you. Where is Benjamin? What is he doing? When will he come back?"

Samuel Goldberg: “…”

A fish grilled with vinegar sauce, salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, chopped parsley, olive oil, shredded onions and tomato juice was brought to the table first, followed by cheese salad, roast beef, bread and Soup……

Zhao Chuanxin's sharp eyes found a long black hair on Samuel Goldberg's shoulder. It belonged to a woman.

"Really? There are many bad things that started from this era. But as long as it is beneficial to human productivity, no one will take it seriously."

Thomas Chamberlain greeted slightly excitedly: "Zhao, I didn't expect to meet you here. What a surprise."

Then he said to Thomas Chamberlain: "Mr. Chamberlain, your disciple Amadeus Miller is really an outstanding young man who is straightforward and persistent (Shabi)."

At this moment, the door opened, and Samuel Goldberg, carrying a briefcase, walked in together with a well-dressed foreigner with meticulously combed hair.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't give the two of them a chance to talk, and stood up immediately: "Oh, dinner is ready. It's great. It's so gracious to refuse."

Samuel Goldberg deserves to be in the chair, with Zhao Chuanxin and Thomas Chamberlain on one side, and Rachel Kervis and Miao Cuihua on the other.

The dining table in Samuel Goldberg's house is a long table.

In the end, he chose red wine. When everyone clinked glasses, Zhao Chuanxin drank the red wine in one gulp.

The three of them sat on the sofa, sharing cigarettes and puffing away smoke.

Thomas Chamberlain's eyes lit up: "That's great."

Old Samuel seemed to really miss his son.

Zhao Chuanxin put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Benjamin is fine. He is in the west and is doing scientific research. It should not take long before the telegraph line is put up there and you can communicate."

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "It doesn't matter if you have opinions, but whether it works well or not is another matter."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled slightly: From now on, I can make your blood flow like a river in the name of civilization and the guise of peace.

"Hello." Zhao Chuanxin greeted cheerfully.

Thomas Chamberlain said, "Can I have a glass of milk?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The New York police were beaten to a pulp and the mayor of New York City was trembling with fear.

What he was talking about was of course the bloodshed that Zhao Chuanxin had killed in New York.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Miao Cuihua and winked at her.

Miao Cuihua looked at him angrily - there are so many people here, but you still don't forget to make trouble, you are really audacious.

Zhao Chuanxin was kicked again. He was tall, had long legs, and had amazing waist strength. He raised both legs at the same time, and clamped the opposite foot with a slight pinch.

There was no ripple on Miao Cuihua's face, but the knife Rachel Kewes used to pull out the fish hit the dinner plate with a clang.

After that, Zhao Chuanxin felt his calf being scratched and teased by the instep.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Miao Cuihua, and then glanced at Rachel Kervis from the corner of his eye: "..."

The seats are very strange today. Thomas Chamberlain takes the second seat because he is a guest.

Miao Cuihua also took the second seat because she was also a guest.

Zhao Chuanxin took the last seat, opposite Rachel Kervis, who was at the bottom.

Could it be...

Zhao Chuanxin remained calm and used his feet to feel the other person's shoes, then lifted the other person's shoes with his toes.

Rachel Kervis's eyelids twitched, and she put the fish meat into her mouth and chewed it as if nothing had happened.

Then Zhao Chuanxin felt the opposite foot wandering around his inner thigh.

Really hammered...

This distance can only be from the opposite side, not Miao Cuihua.

Otherwise, Miao Cuihua would have to have one and a half meters long legs to do it.

"Zhao? Zhao? Did you listen to me?" Thomas Chamberlain asked sideways.

"Ah?" Zhao Chuanxin came to his senses: "I just thought of some very ancient mysteries. The feeling of being unable to clear away the fog is as unbearable as a foot rubbing against me."

As soon as these words came out, the eyelids of Rachel Kravis across from me jumped wildly.

But Miao Cuihua had no reaction.

Samuel Goldberg said: "Ethan, you have asked the right person. I have read Mr. Chamberlain's investigation report on glacial sedimentation and the Paleozoic Era. He has a lot to say about these ancient things. You can ask him for advice.”

"Want to ask for advice?" Thomas Chamberlain shook his head quickly: "Zhao is a learned man, and his insights are tricky and magical. I dare not give him advice. Zhao, you can tell me your doubts and we can discuss them. This has aroused my interest. ”

Zhao Chuanxin was distracted. He stretched his long legs under the table and walked straight in. He took out a few things by the way: "Look, this string of beads is the ivory I collected from a Russian in Lubin Mansion." It's carved. The fish on this stone was taken back from a bell doctor."

Thomas Chamberlain didn't take the ivory, but he looked at the wolf-finned fish fossil with gleaming eyes.

Zhao Chuanxin originally bought it with a piece of ocean.

"Zhao, this is definitely a fossil from a long time ago. I think it may have existed hundreds of millions of years ago."

Samuel Goldberg and Miao Cuihua showed shocked expressions.

"Ethan, show me this," Samuel Goldberg said.

Then Miao Cuihua also looked at it seriously: "It turns out that there were fish hundreds of millions of years ago, and I think it tastes no worse than what we are eating."

This remark made Samuel Goldberg and Thomas Chamberlain laugh.

Zhao Chuanxin's legs were so strong that he forced the opposite legs apart under the dining table...

"Cough cough..."

Rachel Kervis couldn't bear it any longer, and she coughed as if she was stuck in a fishbone, accompanied by a strange tremor.

Samuel Goldberg smiled and pointed at his wife: "Rachel, it's a good thing you didn't eat the fish on the fossil, otherwise there would be more thorns."

Rachel Kervis's face was red, and she seemed drunk without taking two sips of wine.

Zhao Chuanxin pulled his legs back and clicked to the end.

He handed the ivory to Thomas Chamberlain again: "Do you think this is ordinary ivory? This is mammoth ivory. It was hidden in the permafrost zone in eastern Siberia. It was unearthed accidentally. It is said that some people ate it and froze tens of thousands of dollars. Year of fresh mammoth meat.”

"Ugh..." Miao Cuihua moved her head to the side and retched. "When eating, don't talk about cold meat..."

Thomas Chamberlain observed the beads carefully and marveled.

After a while, he said seriously: "Zhao, you are a warrior. You should go explore the North and South Pole. I think this kind of thing is far more meaningful in this world than war. Someone has already arrived at the North Pole and planted the American flag at the pole. . But the Antarctic is not there yet. However, Norwegian explorers and British explorers are preparing to go to Antarctica. You should be the first to take the lead. This is a huge honor. "

Zhao Chuanxin had finished eating, put down his knife and fork, took out his cigarette, took a puff and said, "Antarctica? It's not that challenging. Going to the moon might be interesting." Everyone: "..."

Miao Cuihua said with a smile: "Look at what you can do, and you still have to go to the moon. Do you really want to go to heaven?"

"Sister Hua, don't tell me, if I go to the moon one day, I will carve your name on it."

"That's nonsense." A happy blush appeared on Miao Cuihua's cheeks.

She really believed that maybe in a few decades or hundreds of years, Zhao Chuanxin would really be able to ascend to the immortal world, but would he be able to go to the moon?
She may have turned into a handful of dust by then, but her name is engraved on the moon. Women cannot resist this kind of romance.

Just thinking about not being able to be by Zhao Chuanxin's side all the time made me feel a little more lonely.

Nung, moon and new moon.

Miao Cuihua didn't quite understand the concept of the moon. She didn't know that there weren't a lot of gadgets on it, and the craters were very ugly.

Before Zhao Chuanxin could carve her name, he had to gather sand into a tower and erect a monument first.

And Rachel Kervis stood up at this time: "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom."

When she got to the bathroom, her body trembled and she couldn't help shaking anymore.

She clearly didn't do anything, just moved her legs and feet, but she climbed into the clouds.

I blanch...this is so exciting and amazing.

Clean it up quickly...

After the meal, the cups and plates were in a mess. When carrying the plates, Miao Cuihua asked with concern: "Rachel, have you done any heavy work? Why do your legs look a little soft?"

"Huh? Yes, yes, I did a lot of work during the day and I'm tired."

"Then you go out and rest, and I'll help you wash up."

Rachel Kravis felt guilty when she saw Miao Cuihua's sincere affection and that she really regarded her as her best friend.

"No, you go out to rest. I know you are busy opening a company recently."

After saying that, he pushed Miao Cuihua out without any explanation.

Thomas Chamberlain left, Zhao Chuanxin and Miao Cuihua returned to their rooms after washing up.

Hard-working people can't stay idle. After a long period of busy work, Zhao Chuanxin came to the cold living room again wearing his nightgown.

Because the fire in the fireplace has gone out.

He crossed his legs on the sofa and took out the "Code of Old Gods".

[The female monk from Hongdao has left to return to Rune City. 】

Zhao Chuanxin wrote:

[I stepped on the Misty Traveler and Desert Roots, temporarily left the team, arrived at the territory first, and built a high tower and a warehouse under the sand connecting the high tower. 】

Zhao Chuanxin is going to the United States. When the time comes to dig up black soil, he needs a transfer station to store it.

[Before dark, I arrived at the border area between Rune City and the Brilliant Oasis. 】

[My eyes are filled with yellow sand, and it’s boundless as far as the eye can see. I saw no sign of plants or creatures. A gust of wind blew by, and I saw a human skeleton on the top of a small sand dune. 】

Zhao Chuanxin twitched the corner of his mouth.

The leader of the rebel army and Cixi wanted to go together. They both wanted to control people until they had nothing to do.

[I took out the map and looked at it. In fact, this place is closer to the Brilliant Oasis, and caravans occasionally pass by here. 】

[I first gathered sand to form a tower, built the tower base on the highest sand dune, just high enough to prevent wind and sand, and then solidified it downwards and deepened. 】

[After reaching about half the height of the dune, I bifurcated the spiral staircase and built a rock passage horizontally. After leaving room for building a warehouse, I continued to dig deeper. 】

[I am very lucky. There is also an underground river here, although it is very deep. 】

[Oh my god, this is a huge project, I need enough rest. 】

Zhao Chuanxin closed the "Old God Code".

The rebel leader had made the wrong decision.

The other party thought that since he didn't have mucus, he couldn't build a high tower to house the people under his rule.

This place is close to the dazzling oasis, there are caravans passing by, and there is water, so Zhao Chuanxin can keep these people alive.

Moreover, he also let Dauntless Vanguard ward in Rune City.

As long as Zhao Chuanxin is willing and willing to put in all the effort, he can even build a new rune city here.

After refreshing the "Old God Code", Zhao Chuanxin took out a few pieces of wood and carved three figures with extremely high martial arts value for Jiang Mingxin.

Xingyue whispered: "It's too time-consuming to stay here. I'll go to the villa next door and let the puppet slaves finish laying the rest of the floor."

Zhao Chuanxin kept an eye on the sofa, teleported to his villa, put Xingyue down, hugged his arms and stayed in the cold bedroom for one more minute. Just when he was about to teleport back, Xingyue said: "I saw eye No. 12 We have arrived at New York Harbor and were picked up by your butler, Freddy Pavitt."

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes.

Teleport back and continue carving wood pieces.

This wood chip is not ordinary wood, it is iron birch, which is really harder than iron.

But for the elf carving knife, it's not much more difficult than cutting tofu.

After carving the three figures, Zhao Chuanxin blew off the sawdust, nodded with satisfaction, put it away and went back to sleep.

This time Zhao Chuanxin got up earlier than Miao Cuihua. He went next door first to collect the puppet slaves and black puppet craftsmen.

The floor was indeed laid.

Zhao Chuanxin went to the boiler room and first turned on the heat source gem starting device.

The water temperature in the boiler suddenly rose very quickly.

Zhao Chuanxin quickly turned on the hand-operated water pump and began to circulate the hot water in the pipes.

When the sun rises, a group of snot-nosed babies charge forward, howling.

"Uncle, what are you doing today?"

"Uncle, are there any more wood chips?"

"uncle……"

Zhao Chuanxin roared: "Go back and get the brooms, come over and clean the house for me."

The snotty babies dispersed in a rush.

Du Lisan arrived with the snotty baby holding a broom.

"Mr. Zhao." Du Lisan cupped his hands.

"Here you go, sit down."

Du Lisan looked at the mess all over the floor, but the room was so hot that he couldn't even wear his coat.

He took off his cotton robe in surprise: "It's so warm."

Can it not be warm?
This is equivalent to the most prosperous coal fire burning continuously, the water pump circulating non-stop for 24 hours, and the heating effect is second in the entire north and no one dares to claim first, even in the 21st century.

If Zhao Chuanxuan hadn't set the temperature a little lower when setting the temperature control of the heat source gem, the water in the boiler might have boiled for a long time.

Du Lisan sat down and looked at the snot baby sweeping the floor with his butt sticking out. He cleared his throat and said, "There were so many people the night before yesterday that it was difficult to say something. I would like to ask, sir, where should we go from now on?"

Ever since he listened to Zhao Chuanxin's words, he not only stopped showing off in front of Zhang Zuolin, but also lowered his status to please him, regularly gave away money when doing business, and at the same time kept a distance from the Japanese.

Then, he discovered that Zhang Zuolin's fame and rapid rise were astonishing. His men were not new troops, but their combat power outside the pass was even stronger than that of the new troops who had never fought in a war.

Tao Ke Tao Hu Na and other heroes were chased thousands of miles away by him and disappeared into the vast grassland to the west.

Baiyin Dalai was awarded the first title directly.

At this time, Du Lisan was shocked to realize that Zhao Chuanxin was really far-sighted.

Even though everyone called him "The Immediate Emperor" at that time, in terms of ability and skills, he was not even a little inferior to Zhang Zuolin.

If he hadn't listened to Zhao's instructions, he might have died in Zhang's hands.

That guy is still an old yinbi, and his methods are very vicious.

Predicting the outcome of the Russo-Japanese War, predicting the direction of the situation outside the customs, predicting the life and death of Cixi and Guangxu, one by one, Du Lisan has already regarded Zhao Chuanxin as a god.

Duotuo Divine Fortune Teller, the immortal of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.

So I solemnly came to ask for advice today.

Hearing this, Zhao Chuanxin thought about it seriously, and then looked at Du Lisan cautiously, which made Du Lisan feel horrified and secretly wondered if he had suffered another bloody disaster?
Zhao Chuanxin asked: "You came to ask for advice, why didn't you bring a gift? It's really rude."

Du Lisan: "..."

Do you think about feelings for a long time?
He quickly stood up, pointed outside and said, "They are all outside, and the coachman is guarding them."

Zhao Chuanxin Da Le said: "Look, Lao Du, I'm not talking about you, you're all one of our own, so you're welcome."

Du Lisan: "..."

Since there is a gift, it is easy to talk about it.

Zhao Chuanxin was stroking his beard "Zhuge Liang style" and was short of a feather fan towel. He said: "We have to take action in the future. You can't let your troops sit in a corner to apply eye drops to Lao Zhang..."
