mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 992: Challenging the God of War
Two brothers who were herding their cattle were fighting over who could ride on a fake one.

"it is mine……"

"Why is it yours?"

As we were talking, we started to fight. You grabbed my hair, and I scratched your neck...

The Chihuahua squatted on the ground, tilted its head back, and looked at them with its big wet eyes as if they were fools.

The wind was so strong and the brothers' quarreling was so loud that it drowned out other sounds.

After a while, the wind died down, and the two brothers slowed down and turned their heads, panting.

They found a group of men with guns, riding on their horses and looking at the two men with interest.

The leader was the man who had handed the counterfeit goods to them that day. He was smoking a cigarette, leaning on the saddle post and grinning at them.

The brother coughed awkwardly: "Um...Sir, we took good care of your horse."

The younger brother scratched his head and said, "Sir, you can take your horse now."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Okay."

As he said this, he dismounted, led the fake over, picked up the Chihuahua on the ground and mounted the horse.

The brother rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, you haven't paid us the reward you promised us."

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at them, then looked around with a cigarette in his mouth, and said, "I never thought that there would be someone in this world who is more shameless than me."

Brothers: "..."

After Zhao Chuanxin finished speaking, he turned his horse around, and Agulei Ida stepped forward, swung his whip, and hit the two brothers on the head.

The two brothers howled: "We will never dare to do it again..."

Pablo rode forward and glanced at them. "You are lucky to be alive. You dare to steal anyone's horse. You are really brave."

A group of knights rode away on their horses, whipping their horses.

After they left, the two brothers got up from the ground.

"Who is this person?"

"It must be someone important."

"You gave us a bad idea and got us whipped."

"It's all your fault..."

The two men started fighting again.

Zhao Chuanxin brought his men back to Quetshalan and did not announce their disbandment. No one dared to leave and gathered in front of the White House Tavern.

A town resident came to the White House Tavern waiting for Zhao Chuanxin. When he saw him, he immediately went up to him and cried, "Don John Constantine, Alessandro in this town beat me up, and he will cause trouble for me again. Please stop him..."

"Don John Constantine, our house was damaged by the strong wind, please help me..."

"Don John Constantine..."

Zhao Chuanxin took out his Colt revolver and fired a shot into the air.

boom.

The sound stopped suddenly.

Zhao Chuanxin looked down at him and said calmly, "Go to the temple to make a wish. Isn't there a temple of the Virgin Mary in this town?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Pablo knew that he would have to deal with this evil star in the future, and was eager to show off. He whispered, "Don John Constantine, helping the local townspeople will bring you a good reputation. You can't offend both the landlords and the people."

Zhao Chuanxin spat, "Ah...tui! Miguel, go to the Torric estate and bring Alejandro. Justino, go to the tavern to get some money, buy some food, and gather the townspeople to help repair the houses of those whose houses were destroyed and distribute food. Aguire, register these people and write down their requests."

Zhao Chuanxin then said to Pablo and the others, "Come in, I'll treat you to something to eat and drink."

Zhao Chuanxin chopped the chicken into pieces, cleaned off the blood foam, put it into a plate in the steamer, and placed a bowl upside down on top.

When the chicken is cooked, he takes out the chicken and opens the bowl, which will absorb the juice from the steamed chicken.

Fry the pepper oil, use the Lord Run's greeting to make the oil float in the air, Zhao Chuanxin pours out the pepper in the pot, the oil falls into the pot, and then continues to fry the scallion and ginger oil, use the Lord Run's greeting to control the oil to float in the air, pour out the scallion and ginger residue, heat it, and pour in the prepared chili and scallion chili oil in the bowl and a large amount of sugar, soy sauce, and Orleans spices.

Debone the chicken, pour it into a bowl, add the soup from the steamed chicken and the prepared sauce.

Mexicans love corn tortillas with sweet and spicy shredded chicken.

Plenty of tequila, pot roast and red wine.

Pablo thought about it and decided to follow suit.

So much so that later on, there was an unwritten rule that the boss must know how to cook.

While they were eating, Miguel Esteban took Alejandro outside the White House Tavern.

Alejandro struggled violently in panic.

When Miguel Esteban and the mounted police went to the Torque estate to arrest the man, Camilo Torque started cursing.

However, Miguel Esteban gave no face at all.

Camilo Torique could only curse, but he could do nothing about Miguel Esteban.

Because he has no one available now.

Zhao Chuanxin called the townsman over, pointed at Alejandro and said, "Fight back the way he hit you."

The townspeople hesitated and shrank back, unable to muster up the courage.

Zhao Chuanxin saw this and said, "You don't know? I'll teach you."

Then he stood up and walked towards Alessandro.

Alejandro tried to step back, but was held firmly in place by Miguel Esteban and another mounted patrol officer.

"John Constantine, I have no grudge against you..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Chuanxin grabbed his neck.

He held Alessandro's neck with his backhanded palm, turned around, slightly arched his back, exerted force, and actually threw the man backwards by holding his neck.

Alessandro felt as if his jaw was dislocated, his neck was almost broken, and he was dizzy from the fall.

Just as he was trying to struggle to get up, Zhao Chuanxin raised his leg and shot.

boom.

bang.

A heavy kick hit Alejandro's head, and the rebound force made his head hit the tiles in the yard again.

There was blood all over the floor.

The courtyard was completely silent, but Alessandro's pupils dilated and it was obvious that he was dying.

I blanch...

How cruel!

The townspeople who sought help from Zhao Chuanxin had extremely complicated feelings.

For a moment, he lost the pleasure of revenge.

How should I put it? Ordinary people would never handle things this way.

Kill without blinking an eye.

Zhao Chuanxin extended his index finger and hooked it at Pablo: "Deal with him according to the 'escape method' and take someone to clean up the mess."

After saying that, he turned and went into the house.

Pablo: “…”

After he gave the order, he whispered to Zhao Chuanxin: "Don John Constantine, I'm a little short of money, you see..."

This guy is addicted to gambling. It seems that he has lost all his previous money.

Zhao Chuanxin threw a bag of pesos and said, "Go find Ajure and write an IOU."

……

The news that Alejandro, Camilo Torric's last thug, was kicked to death by Don John Constantine spread at a speed of 30km/h in Quetzalan.

Upon hearing the news, Camilo Torick fell into his chair, feeling powerless all over.

The servant called out to him several times but he didn't respond.

The townspeople both respected and feared Don John Constantine.

The story is far from over. Pablo wants to report Francia's death to the governor.

Puebla Governor Calderón Velázquez frowned when he learned that Francia was killed by the bandit mule and heard the fabricated story by Zhao Chuanxin.

Even when he was in Quetshalan, he was fearless.

Now, he is even less afraid.

But a head-on confrontation was not his style. John Constantine was clearly not someone he could easily deal with.

There's something fishy about this matter.

He had seen Francia before. He couldn't say that he was a coward, but it was obviously impossible for him to lead the charge.

John Constantine was not only alive and well, but he even made contributions.

Second in command Pablo was unharmed.

It's weird that only Francia died.

Instead of becoming furious, he reported Francia's death to Victoriano Huerta, Porfirio Díaz's popular general.

Francia and Victoriano Huerta are relatives.

After receiving the telegram, Victoriano Huerta did not get angry. He asked someone to send a telegram back to Calderón Velásquez: The agave in the fields will take at least six or seven years to mature. The immature agave cannot be cut off, and the crops should be allowed to grow again.

Governor Calderón Velásquez read the telegram and praised it as a brilliant idea.

Let John Constantine run rampant in Quetshalan, and wait until he has sucked the blood of the local people dry, and then reap him, and you will gain both fame and fortune.

Since then, the governor has often used the agave cutting issue as an excuse.

……

For several days in a row, Zhao Chuanxin's life suddenly became calm, so calm that it seemed abnormal.

Quetsharan is fine.

There is nothing happening in Lubin Prefecture.

"Code of the Old Gods", the Haishi Virtual Realm dispatched several Axiom Masters and all the Virtual Realm attackers to suppress the demon virus.

The evil virus is like a wildfire that cannot be extinguished and will spring up again with the spring breeze.

There was a stalemate for a while.

Because of the demon virus, the disappearance of Virtual Realm Striker No. 93 and No. 94 did not cause any waves.

The Fearless Vanguard goes to the Living Stone Farm to work every day, makes some money and communicates with the Elf Scouts.

Things have reached an impasse.

The only annoying thing is that the Puppet Postman’s communication prices have gone up.

Even the Code of the Old Gods did not cause much waves.

For several days, Zhao Chuanxin was idle.

……

The roads in the Northwest are not very smooth.

During the dry season of the Yellow River, the waterway is difficult to travel, and if you want to go out you mostly have to rely on horses and carriages.

Benjamin Goldberg traveled east with two men and two dogs.

Liu Ai and Bai Yang are his guards, while Gan Fan follows with his child Suba.

The group flew from the sky and first arrived at Lanzhou Prefecture. Then they took a boat if there was water and a horse if there was no water. They finally arrived in Henan Province and went south to Hankou via the Beijing-Hankou Railway.

Because there are industries invested by Benjamin Goldberg there.

In Hankou, Liu Huaqiang did not dare to neglect the principal's direct disciple, and personally took him to visit the munitions factory and tour various places in Hankou.

Benjamin Goldberg immediately took his people and dogs on the Beijing-Hankou Railway train north.

On February 15th of the first year of the Xuantong reign, Benjamin Goldberg passed through Zhengzhou.

However, he did not plan to go directly to the capital, but planned to get off in Baoding Prefecture and go to Tianjin.

……

Li Shutong finally arrived in Hong Kong Island.

At Victoria Harbor, he simply reported his name and workers at the dock immediately came to pick up the boat.

The news reached Li Guangzong. Although Li Guangzong did not receive them personally, he sent Fei Qiang and Toadzi to entertain Zhao Chuanxin's friends.

Toad Boy and Fei Qiang, who used to hang out with Li Zhitao, are no longer the hooligans they used to be. Now they wear suits and look like respectable people, acting like successful people.

Toad wanted to host a welcome party for Li Shutong, and he arranged everything from a theater to a boneyard.

However, Li Shutong didn't want to stay in the territory controlled by foreigners for a moment and wanted to return to the inland.

Toad could only regretfully send him on a passenger ship to Shanghai, where Fei Qiang accompanied and protected him.

Because he had to go to Shanghai first, and then transfer back to Li Shutong's hometown, Tianjin.

On the boat, Li Shutong held onto the side of the boat, looking at the coastline, his whole body trembling with excitement.

When he went to study in Japan before, he was not so excited at all.

However, there were two foreigners nearby, which ruined the view.

One of the foreigners was a burly guy, over 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist.

The other man was slightly inferior, about 1.77 meters tall, with a small mustache on his lips.

Both of them are white and are conversing in English.

The burly man slapped the side of the boat, making loud bangs. He said shamelessly: "This time I'm going to perform in Shanghai, I want to let the Chinese see what a warrior is. In my opinion, the Chinese are all East Asian sick men."

The shorter man with a small mustache smiled. "You are absolutely right. I have heard that there are swordsmen in China. But when I came to China this time, I found that there was not a single person who could fight. The Soul-Snatching Sword in my hand defeated many so-called swordsmen in Hong Kong Island! I hope that I will not be disappointed in their most prosperous city..."

Fei Qiang doesn't understand English.

But Li Shutong can.

Although their accents were obviously British English, Li Shutong still understood them.

He was furious when he heard this and refuted in American English: "What you said is bullshit. Have you heard of the God of War Zhao Chuanxin? If he were here, he would definitely teach you a lesson."

The shorter man with a mustache looked unhappy, but said nothing.

The burly man stretched out his hand to push Li Shutong away: "What the hell is Zhao Chuanxin? He doesn't want to meet me!"

Fei Qiang was ordered to protect Li Shutong all the way, and he immediately stepped forward when he saw this.

He is also a muscular man with great strength.

But just as he stepped forward, he was pushed against the side of the boat by the burly white man and couldn't move.

This shows how strong he is.

Fei Qiang was shocked and said viciously: "If you dare to hit Mr. Li, I will make sure you can't leave China!"

When the white man heard this, his eyes widened and he was about to get angry.

At this time, the mustache man next to him pulled him back and said, "Forget it. Although I don't understand what he said, it seems that this man is fearless. There are many bandits and bullies in China."

The sturdy man snorted coldly and let go of his hand.

As if he was still unsatisfied, he glared at the two of them fiercely before leaving.

Li Shutong's chest heaved with anger.

He was just a scholar, and he was helpless against the white man who was as strong as a bear, and Fei Qiang was obviously no match for him either.

Li Shutong said angrily: "I will definitely inform the charcoal worker about this."

Fei Qiang didn't say anything.

He was unwilling to mention such an embarrassing thing in front of Mr. Zhao.

Besides, who is Mr. Zhao? You can't tell him about every trivial matter, or he will be annoyed to death.

But what they could not have imagined was that when the sturdy man and the mustache man arrived in Shanghai, they placed advertisements in newspapers, not only insulting the Chinese people as the sick man of East Asia, but even named and said that they wanted to challenge the so-called God of War Zhao Chuanxin.

The strong man's name is - Opiyin.

The man with the mustache is Oliver Burton, the British swordsman who is an expert at swordplay.

According to the original historical trajectory, Aopiyin would have made such outrageous remarks later, and then Chen Qimei, Nong Jinsun and other core members of the Tongmenghui in Shanghai would invite Huo Yuanjia to Shanghai to compete with Aopiyin.

Now, Opiyin met Li Shutong who returned to China on the boat, and the target of his show-off became clearer - Opiyin wanted to become famous as Zhao Chuanxin.

……

Zhao Chuanxin, who was pretending to be cool, was currently studying the tablet of spiritual consciousness that he had snatched from the puppet merchant.

Normally, you can view the contents of this thing by sticking it on your forehead.

However, the shape of this spiritual tablet was a bit peculiar, and there was no reaction when it was placed on the forehead.

Zhao Chuanxin had a rare few days off and went home to practice "ground skills" with Rebecca Levi. After rolling around for a few days, he felt extremely bored and wanted to do something again.

The more confused he was, the more anxious he became: "Xingyue, help me research it..."
