mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 940 Damn Mende Syndrome
What are you doing with me?

Are you going all the way to find a tutor and take the postgraduate entrance examination to become a lover?

Zhao Chuanxin used the same principle to peel off the cocoon of Juliana using the same principle as peeling off the shell of an egg.

He said: "I also came here specifically to persuade you to return to China and grit your teeth and hold on."

Edward VII laughed loudly: "Are you afraid that I will die in the Netherlands?"

"I don't dare to say that."

"Then how are you going to persuade me to return to China?"

"I will drive you away politely, but if you are really tough, I may consider using force." Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigar and said cheerfully: "Never blackmail people in the UK, Zhao The food and clothing in this life are all obtained through blackmail, so don’t use your spare time to challenge my job.”

King Edward VII was full of envy: "To tell you the truth, if I were half as brave as you, how could I practice social etiquette and visit countries in a diplomatic way? I also want to come to the door with guns and a smile, and use virtue to Convince people.”

The doctor and the consul general in the room looked at each other when they heard the conversation between the two.

The more I talk about it, the more boundless it becomes.

King Edward VII suddenly said to them: "You go out first."

"But, Your Majesty..."

"What the hell, if you stay here, can you protect me?"

Everyone looked at each other speechlessly and had to retreat.

"Dad, it's too dark here." Juliana suddenly pointed around and said.

Zhao Chuanxin saw many unlit candles placed in the room. He stretched out his hand and stroked them around. The candles were lit and warmed the whole room.

Edward VII's eyes lit up: "You really know magic!"

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "You have to believe in science."

Juliana pointed at Edward VII and clapped her hands: "You have to believe in science."

Edward VII laughed: "Yes, I believe that boiling water changed the world. The end of science is boiling water."

Zhao Chuanxin was convinced: "I agree with this."

Edward VII took the mirror on the table next to him and looked at his pale, fat face.

He smiled, "I have never cared about life and death. I was hated by my mother. She hated her son to the core and gnashed her teeth for many years. I have been the crown prince for many years, so long that my hair and beard have turned white. They all say that if it were someone else, they would be anxious to death, but I never get anxious. My sister, Vicky, is extremely smart. She can speak French, German and English at the age of three. She is as smart as your daughter Juliana. But I can't do that. I don't like to study. I only like to do what I want to do. I am rude and don't seek to make progress. My mother says that I have a bad brain. Some people also say that my nephew, the German Emperor William II, also has a bad brain, haha. My father said that I was a sly guy. When my father heard that I was stupid, he hurried back to educate me personally, but he caught a cold and died. My mother blamed his death on me..."

Edward VII rambled on about his life experience.

Zhao Chuanxin listened patiently.

Juliana actually acted as a quiet audience to save face.

Edward VII was indeed a unique king.

Many of his actions are not acting. For example, he likes to deal with people from all walks of life such as traffickers and pawns, princes and nobles.

Roughly like Zhao Chuanxin, he never has stage fright.

Zhao Chuanxin was arrogant and fawning over his subordinates, but Edward VII treated everyone equally.

Later, Edward VII talks about his romantic history.

In front of the children, he didn't say anything too explicit, he just talked about it roughly, but his obscene smiles from time to time still made Zhao Chuanxin understand the frivolity and wantonness of his youth at that time.

King Edward VII said: “Even today, women keep me alive.”

Juliana bit her finger: "Haha, woman."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

Edward VII's words were interrupted, but he remained not angry and said cheerfully: "My nephew William II, he is a fool. He hates me, hates me, but he doesn't know that I am the leader of all European countries. Mediate and curb the expanding ambitions of the countries, otherwise the human brain will be beaten out of the dog's brain. "

Zhao Chuanxin had heard a saying - Edward VII, who was good at dancing, delayed the First World War for ten years.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin remained silent, Edward VII continued, "Zhao, do you think I can be saved? I noticed that the doctor looked at me as if I were a dead person."

Juliana also looked at her father.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a transparent test tube bottle and said, "Do you know what this is?"

Edward VII shook his head.

Zhao Chuanxin opened the cork and said, "This is a panacea made from the flesh and bones of the living dead."

Edward VII's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand.

Juliana also extended her little hand.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his neck - Gudong.

Drink it all in one gulp.

King Edward VII: "..."

Juliana: “…”

I blanch it, this is a bit irritating.

Juliana quit: "Dad, I want to drink too."

Edward VII swallowed his saliva: "Zhao, how much do you want to sell this magic medicine for?"

The cigarette choked his daughter a little, so Zhao Chuanxin used the Old God's Crucible Brand to put out the cigar.

He said: "There is indeed a price. If you want to drink this bottle of medicine, the price is that you will no longer participate in political affairs. I can guarantee that you will not die at this time!"

Zhao Chuanxin didn't know when Edward VII would blow out the lamp and pull out the wax.

But since he played a crucial role in delaying the war, presumably the death occurred before the First World War.

If Zhao Chuanxin allowed him to live a few more years and the old guy meddles in his own business, it would disrupt Zhao Chuanxin's plan.

Edward VII pursed his lips: "Royal life should be a gorgeous musical. I have been the king for less than ten years, but this drama has been exciting enough, and it's time for the curtain call to reflect."

Zhao Chuanxin stared into his eyes: "Do you know the consequences of going back on your word?"

"I don't know." Edward VII shook his head.

"If you go back on your word, I will let you die at the third watch, and you will never live until the fifth watch." Zhao Chuanxin threw the flying knife, red light flashed, and a section of the gorgeous bed leg was cut off.

Immediately, the red light returned to its sheath, and if Edward VII's body hadn't sank, it would have been as if nothing had happened.

Edward VII was not afraid, but in great spirits.

His lungs were jolted and he couldn't stop coughing.

After a heartbreaking cough, King Edward VII sneered: "Zhao, I admit that I can't control myself easily. Who told me to love making friends? Well, tell me a place where I can escape from worldly affairs. Live there in seclusion.”

Who would be willing to die if he could live?

Zhao Chuanxin's heart moved.

He took out a pen and paper, wrote a few lines of words in a flurry of words and handed them to Edward VII: "Remember, I am not forcing you to pay the price."

King Edward VII nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Don't worry. Now, can you give me the magic medicine?"

Zhao Chuanxin took out another bottle of vitality potion and said with a smile: "You can't drink it without my help."

"I don't believe it." Edward VII eagerly took the vitality potion.

He uncorked the bottle and took a careful sip, unable to feel the liquid flowing at all on his tongue.

He widened his eyes and took another sip, still the same.

Juliana's mouth watered as she watched, and she thought Edward VII was drinking some extraordinary drink.

She was so greedy that she stretched out her hand: "Yes, yes..."

Edward VII smiled flatteringly: "Zhao, how can I take this magic potion?"

Zhao Chuanxin snapped his fingers: "Open your mouth."

Edward VII opened his mouth and Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand. Lord Runzhi's greeting manipulated the vitality spring water into a water arrow that flew into Edward VII's mouth. At the same time, the Wind God's Mark curbed the particle flow.

"Gudong."

This time Edward VII successfully swallowed the fountain of vitality.

He was beaming with joy: "It's like nectar from heaven, refreshing, delicious, I love it, can you have another bottle?"

"Are you feeling any pain?"

"Absolutely not."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said to his daughter: "Okay, daughter, he has tested the poison for you, now you can drink it."

King Edward VII: "..."

His head was buzzing.

Do you feel like using me as a poison test?
He was puzzled and said, "But you just drank a bottle too."

Zhao Chuanxin shrugged: "What I drank was just ordinary water."

"Fake!"

Ever since Lord Run's greetings were filled with particle flows, anyone who wanted to drink the vitality spring water would suffer.

Although Zhao Chuanxin now has a way to control particle flow, he is unwilling to use himself as a guinea pig and wants to conduct an experiment on his daughter.

Edward VII, who was so anxious to save his life that he even wanted to live to be a hundred years old, became the best candidate.

Zhao Chuanxin manipulated Lord Run's greeting and turned another bottle of vitality spring water into a water line.

Juliana opened her mouth like Edward VII: "Ah..."

This time, Edward VII was watching from the sidelines and had a more direct insight, but he was only shocked.

The water line entered Juliana's little mouth. She squinted her eyes and tasted it slowly, smiling as she drank.

Edward VII felt heat in his abdomen at this time, and the warmth spread to his limbs.

"Huh..." The sweat on Edward VII's forehead evaporated, and his face became a little redder.

The most immediate effect was that he stopped coughing.

"Zhao, do you have any more magic potions? I have a wife and children."

"Okay, but everything has a price. If you find a way to incorporate Britain into China, I will let your wife and children have enough water to drink."

"Ah this..."

Edward VII couldn't do it.

"Dad, I have poop." Juliana looked at Zhao Chuanxin with an innocent face.

Edward VII laughed: "I'll ask someone to call an experienced servant to deal with it. This child is really smart. When it's cleaned up, let me hug him too."

Zhao Chuanxin grinned: "You ignored the stinky Julianna, I will make sure you can't hold her after she is clean." In front of Edward VII, Zhao Chuanxin washed the diaper of Julianna who was pulling her trouser pockets, and gave her a hot bath with local water flow.

Julianna is willing to stay with her father because Lao Zhao always keeps her clean and warm, and allows her to play with water when taking a bath. He is a master in parenting.

Edward VII was stunned.

Zhao Chuanxin rewrapped the fresh Juliana, picked her up and said to Edward VII: "Since you can't cross the Naihe Bridge, just walk your Yangguan Road. I've given you the address, remember your price."

Edward VII waved the paper in his hand and said, "It's only a thousand miles away. I can get there even on horseback."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled meaningfully: "If you don't commit suicide, you won't die."

Travel thousands of miles on horseback?

Even if you extend your life by ten years, I'm afraid it will be consumed along the way.

……

The Hague, Nachtburg is a majestic Gothic palace.

Inner Garden is the city center of The Hague.

There is a tavern next to the Inner Court Castle.

There are many drinkers here, and it is a gathering place for dignitaries and nobles.

The reason why it is very inconspicuous but still attracts dignitaries is that the news of the Netherlands and even the world is highly concentrated here.

In particular, any disturbance in The Hague will be reported here first.

"The King of England is dying. His lungs are like a window that cannot be closed in the coldest season, and his breathing sounds like the howling of a violent wind."

“The doctors were at a loss.”

“That’s what older people do.”

Yesterday’s “hot search” was about the King of England walking around the streets in The Hague and watching street performances.

Today's "hot search" is that the King of England is on his deathbed, and the Netherlands may be in big trouble because of this.

After all, Edward VII was very popular in Europe.

"Oh no, the Queen's 'new favorite' attacked Berlin, and the King of England is going to die in The Hague. This is a big problem."

“The Netherlands will become a target of criticism in Europe.”

"This damn Zhao Chuanxin is not worthy of our queen at all!"

The pub was filled with smoke and alcohol, and all kinds of gossip were flying around.

After all, Zhao Chuanxin became the culprit of all the incidents.

Not long after, the door of the pub was pushed open, and a man rushed in and rushed to the bar: "Whoever buys me a drink, I will tell him big news!"

"I've invited you, but if your news doesn't interest me, we won't be done today."

"Gudong!" The man took a big gulp of beer, his acne reddened with excitement: "Did you know that Zhao Chuanxin visited the British Consulate?"

"what?"

Everyone exclaimed.

"Is Zhao Chuanxin going to assassinate the King of England?"

This is everyone's first reaction.

Zhao Chuanxin never comes to the house without a reason.

It's definitely up to no good.

"You all guessed wrong, haha, I knew you would react like this." The man was very proud, took another sip of beer and said, "On the contrary. I heard from a friend who is an employee of the British Consulate that Zhao Chuanxin and the King of England had a very pleasant conversation. When Zhao Chuanxin left, the King of England's cold was cured immediately. The King of England said that Zhao Chuanxin gave him a panacea, which was amazing!"

"What?" Everyone couldn't believe it.

"What kind of panacea is this? Is there any for sale?"

"Is the King of England really recovered?"

"Don't lie to me!"

……

Wilhelmina received the news that the King of England had recovered, and happily showed off to Margot: "See, I knew Ethan had a way."

Margot muttered sourly: "I also want to experience his methods. I have the ability to make him sweat profusely..."

"What did you say?"

"I mean, it's really amazing..."

Wilhelmina said happily, "See, sooner or later Ethan will make the residents of The Hague change their opinion of him."

Margot curled her lips secretly and muttered: "But I don't think he cares at all..."

Most of the time, what we secretly complain about is the truth.

……

Zhao Chuanxin didn't want to change anyone's opinion of him.

I just wanted to do the Queen a small favor. After all, she is the child's mother.

But in the past few days, the power of his faith has increased dramatically, which is a good sign.

I have accumulated enough power of faith for the return journey!

Juliana pointed to the sea and said, "Dad, let's go see the sea."

How could a father like Zhao Chuanxin let his daughter down?

He put on plastering gloves, squatted on the beach, and repeated the operation five times to create a thick fused silica glass base.

Put the daughter on it and continue to build a completely transparent, thick glass chamber to wrap Julianna.

Zhao Chuanxin put on soft golden armor, flexed his arms, picked up the glass chamber and stepped into the sea.

Worried about his poor ability to withstand pressure, Zhao Chuanxin did not dare to go deeper and just wandered in the shallow water holding the glass chamber.

This was enough to open the eyes of newborn Juliana.

She was in the glass tank, watching the fish and shrimp dancing in the sea, and she was so happy that she was bursting with joy.

After all, the air in the glass chamber was limited. If the carbon dioxide concentration was too high, Zhao Chuanxin was worried that it would harm the child's brain, so he quickly floated to the surface and dug a row of ventilation holes in the glass chamber.

After riding the second-generation dragon around the sea, Juliana was exhausted from overexerting her brain and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Chuanxin carried her back to Noordeinborg and handed her over to Margot's care.

Wilhelmina said sourly: "If you keep going on like this, the child will become increasingly difficult to raise. Maybe you should spend more time with me, or you should stay in The Hague forever."

"I have never seen such an insatiable king." Zhao Chuanxin smiled and did not respond.

Stay here? That's impossible.

If he had a choice, he would rather take his daughter away.

Wilhelmina asked nervously, "How often do you come?"

During this period, she developed a sense of dependence on Zhao Chuanxin.

Relying solely on the power of faith, unless something happens every other day, it would be impossible for Zhao Chuanxin to come back often to take care of the children.

The long journey by sea from Mexico takes a whole day and night. Now that he can buy a "round trip ticket" at a very low price, he can rest at any time, so he can still come here once a month.

"Let me think about it. It won't take five years..." Zhao Chuanxin pretended to think seriously.

Wilhelmina was upset.

"Five years, four years, three years..." Zhao Chuanxin saw Wilhelmina's face getting darker and darker, and grinned: "How about coming once a month?"

Wilhelmina was surprised: "Really?"

"Even though I'll be so tired that I vomit blood, or maybe catch a cold due to bad weather and have a fever of 50 degrees, but when you look at your wife and children, isn't that just natural?" Zhao Chuanxin said righteously.

Wilhelmina's eyes were blurry, her cheeks flushed, and she said in a seductive voice, "Ethan, I will make you sweat tonight."

She actually heard Margot's muttering, and it turned out that the maid had improper thoughts about the male master.

"There are only a few people in the world who can fight Zhao to a draw!"

"Eh? How many more women do you want to sweat with? Don't think I don't know. Tell the Queen well."

Once reminded, Zhao Chuanxin thought of Sister Hua and Rebecca Levi. Why did the figure of his apprentice's mother appear in his mind?

This damn Mende syndrome has struck again!

……

In the morning, Zhao Chuanxin woke up, got up and ate breakfast while silently calculating the date, and was surprised to find that the New Year was approaching.

Wilhelmina was feeding her baby in the room. Margot, wearing a loose nightgown, passed by the restaurant casually, holding a napkin in her hand and said, "Sir, there is something at the corner of your mouth. Let me wipe it for you."

Having said that, he bent down and stretched out his hand without waiting for Zhao Chuanxin to reply.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly lowered his head.

Oops...

Mariana Trench.

Unfathomable!

Margot seemed to be unsteady on her feet and leaned forward with a cry of “Ouch!”

Zhao Chuanxin supported her with one hand in front and with the other hand behind, and held her steady!

This time, Margot lets out a real “Oops.”

The upright gentleman Zhao Chuanxin coughed and said seriously, "You are so clumsy. You must stand firm next time. This is disgraceful. This will not happen again."

He is a pure person, free from vulgar tastes. He truly reflects on himself three times a day - I am serious, I am not lustful, and I do not like other people's wives.

After saying that, he got up and went to the study.

Behind her, Margot looked smug.

In the study, Zhao Chuanxin crossed his legs and opened the "Code of the Old Gods".

【I was awakened by the guardian of nature. 】

[The basin's protective shield, which has been shrinking again and again, is crumbling. 】

[Nature's Guardian said: Fearless Pioneer, next, the Brilliant Star will remove its protective shield, and we are about to face a real test! ]
