The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

There are also Korean traitors in Korea, some of whom care about the Qing court, and some who seek refuge in Japan.

Japan's destruction of Korea was actually achieved through the signing of three Japan-Korea Agreements and its gradual encroachment.

With the first Japan-Korea Agreement in 1904, the Japanese took control of South Korea's finances and foreign affairs.

In the second Japan-Korea Agreement of 1905, Japan formally deprived South Korea of ​​its diplomatic rights. Japan set up Han Ting's Taishangfu - Tongjianfu in South Korea. The leader of the invasion, Ito Hirobumi, became the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Household Office, taking charge of the overall situation.

For the third time, this year, Japan is already plotting to sign the third Japan-South Korea agreement, but it has not yet been implemented.

In the future, there will be Korean traitors who take the initiative to "petition", crying for their fathers and mothers, begging Korea to join the Japanese Empire and disband their own army.

There are also Koreans working as lackeys for Japan, including the Japanese troops who will invade China in the future.

The people outside the customs affectionately call them - Erjiizi.

The domestic situation in the late Qing Dynasty was treacherous and changeable.

Naturally, some people saw this crisis.

Although Cixi was afraid of war, she was not willing to see the Qing government perish.

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Han officials began to rise, and the situation in the Qing court improved slightly. However, after the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the Han officials were suppressed by Mangui and returned to their original form.

After Li Hongzhang and others passed away, the remaining Manguis were insignificant.

Mangui, headed by Yi Kuang, Zaifeng and others, naturally understands the principle of dying lips and cold teeth.

So this is the current situation. Cixi strives to resolve disputes safely and without fighting, but Yikuang and Zaifeng feel that the emperor and his ministers should work hard to protect the country.

Therefore, Xu Shichang has a little bit of strength to rely on.

But obviously this toughness is limited.

If Zhao Chuanxin had not intervened, the Tongjianfu Police Station would still have to be built, and the Japanese would still succeed.

On the train, these things went around in Zhao Chuanxin's mind.

Opposite me, Jin Wuzhi, who was wearing a suit and tie, asked curiously: "Mr. Zhao, what are you thinking about?"

He can speak fluent Chinese.

In fact, at this time, Japanese and Korean aristocrats and intellectuals were still proud of knowing Chinese characters.

Even when Japanese aristocrats were studying Western culture, they refused to read English books because they thought it was a vulgar language.

After South Korea experienced "de-Sinicization", its own people could no longer understand its own history, because all history books were recorded in Chinese characters.

Zhao Chuanxin tilted his chin and looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, and said: "I'm thinking that Korean people live like pigs, but they don't get the happiness of pigs.

It's my fault.

I have the responsibility and obligation to help them raise the banner of resistance and resist Japanese tyranny. "

Jin Wuzhi looked around guiltily, and when he saw that no one understood what they were saying, he whispered: "Mr. Zhao, don't discuss this matter here."

He is also Korean, doesn't that mean he is also a member of the pigs?

"It's okay." Zhao Chuanxin said nonchalantly: "If the Japanese listen to me, I won't be afraid of them taking action."

Jin Wuzhi smiled bitterly: "But I'm afraid."

"It doesn't matter, I will take action when the time comes." Zhao Chuanxin vowed. "Even if I can't save you, I will collect your body for you."

It was just the last sentence that made Jin Wuzhi change his expression.

"..."

Being a translator is life-threatening.

Seeing the pleading look on Jin Wuzhi's face, Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "I'm just kidding, I'm scaring you. Let me ask you, if the Japanese want to sign the third Japan-Korea Agreement, will you become a Korean You are so traitorous that you are willing to be a Japanese lackey?"

Jin Wuzhi said with a serious face: "I'm not that kind of person."

That coward, no matter how you look at it, he looks like that kind of person.

Zhao Chuanxin gave a thumbs up: "What a great ambition. Why don't you join our rebel army? When we come back to fight the Japanese, I will give you the opportunity to take the lead and sacrifice your life for the country."

After hearing this, Jin Wuzhi's face suddenly fell: "Mr. Zhao, I am a scholar. I am only a scholar and do not know how to fight. Mr. Zhao, aren't you worried that you can't defeat the Japanese?"

"When did I say that I must defeat the Japanese?"

"Well, you can't defeat the Japanese, and both the Qing court and Japan regard you as a thorn in their side, so what?"

Jin Wuzhi had done his homework and knew what kind of person this customer was.

Ci Xi is a foreigner, so many people hate him.

Zhao Chuanxin still had a heartless expression: "What is there to worry about? If I accomplish nothing in the end, there are so many ditches and ditches outside the customs. I will take the dogs and horses alone, get a group of chickens and ducks, and find a place to live in seclusion. Wait for whatever A hundred years from now, when the time comes, I will carry a 2-tael burning knife and go to Ito Hirobumi’s grave to play the erhu and dance to the music.”

Awesome!

The image is intoxicating just thinking about it.

Jin Wuzhi was convinced: "Mr. Zhao, in a hundred years, one hundred and twenty years old will be a long life."

In fact, he knew that Zhao Chuanxin must be much older than twenty now, because Zhao Chuanxin rose to prominence a few years ago, and even if he is less than thirty now, he is still not far behind. Maybe he is older, but he just looks young.

But he can talk, and he deliberately said that Zhao Chuanxin was very young.

But the implication is that most people will not live to be one hundred and twenty years old.

After all, the average life expectancy in the late Qing Dynasty was very low, and natural and man-made disasters were constant. Ordinary people could live to be sixty years old.

Zhao Chuanxin curled his lips: "How long does it take to live a long life at one hundred and two? That's just a base number. On that basis, I have to live for at least forty years to be able to live long enough. You can't control the life span of our mage community."

Jin Wuzhi was stunned and remembered that Zhao Chuanxin also had the nickname of Archmage.

I'm really not sure about this.

It is said that Patriarch Chen Tuan is still alive today, but I don’t know where he is in the human world.

The two of them talked nonsense all the way to Liaodi.

Here, the two need to cross the Yalu River to reach South Korea.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the Yalu River, which was nearly a thousand meters long, and the rolling and turbid water, and couldn't help but think of something.

Jin Wuzhi saw him stop and asked: "Mr. Zhao, what are you looking at?"

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Nothing, Zhao will also cross the Yalu River boldly and proudly today!"

Yes, there was a group of lovely people behind him, and it was Jiang who walked with faith like him, with his chest out and his belly up.

Oh, life and death have long been ignored.

As early as 1905, Japan had already decided to build a bridge here. However, construction will not start until two years later.

Ignoring the protests of the Qing court, Japan acted like a rogue and forced construction in Sinuiju on the other side of the bank, and then was forced by various rogues and threats.

The Qing government, in a turbulent situation, had no choice but to build the bridge and connect the two worlds.

Later, the bridge was bombed by the Americans.

It is the famous Broken Bridge on the Yalu River in later generations.

However, there is no bridge at this time, so the two of them have to cross the river by boat.

This is a small steamer.

After boarding the boat, a woman with a child discussed with Zhao Chuanxin and Jin Wuzhi: "You two, I have a child with me, can you let us sit in the front? This child is dishonest."

Jin Wuzhi was a little afraid of water. The boat was small and wobbly, and his face turned pale.

He was reluctant at first, and the back of the boat became even more bumpy.

But Zhao Chuanxin pulled him to his feet: "No problem, you guys sit down, we'll go to the back."

Jin Wuzhi was pulled by Zhao Chuanxin and walked towards the back involuntarily.

He felt a little upset in his stomach and said: "Mr. Zhao, we bought the front ticket, why should we give it to them? I am a little seasick, and it is so bumpy that it is not safe to sit in the back."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the turbulent river and said cheerfully: "I also have a name, Hunjiang Dragon. Under water, the Dragon King will also give Zhao three points of thin noodles. Be good, don't be afraid."

Unexpectedly, Jin Wuzhi's face turned even paler: "Mr. Zhao, you must not talk nonsense. It is most taboo to say such things while sailing on the water."

"hehe."

This small riverboat was as slow as an old ox, swaying.

Because it is not far from the entrance to the sea, and the water level has risen a lot due to the continuous spring rains in recent days, the river flow is particularly fast.

It is also difficult for it to drive forward while resisting the rapid current.

This caused a lot of bumps on the steamer.

Zhao Chuanxin gave up his seat to the woman, holding the dishonest child, and kept scolding the child for being disobedient.

"If you keep messing around, I'll throw you into the river and feed you to the bastard!"

When the ship boss heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

Fearing something might happen, the boat suddenly started to bump violently.

I don't know if it was an undercurrent or something tugging the boat under the water, which caused the stern of the small steamer, which was already underpowered, to suddenly deflect.

The captain of the boat muttered something: "Lord Dragon, please spare my life, Lord Dragon, please spare my life. That woman didn't mean anything. Please let us go."

At the same time, he hurriedly turned the steering wheel.

As a result, the bow of the ship shook violently again.

Not only the boss of the ship, but also Jin Wuzhi next to Zhao Chuanxin was frightened.

Even though he was a little in awe of Zhao Chuanxin, he still couldn't help but complain: "Mr. Zhao, look at you, your words must have offended Lord Long..."

He didn't hear what the woman in front of him said, otherwise he would definitely still rely on the woman.

As soon as he finished speaking, something happened on the other side of the ship boss.

The boss of the boat suddenly exploded, came to the woman's side viciously, and snatched the child from her hand: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't said anything about throwing the child into the water, the Dragon King wouldn't have blamed it. Now it's better." , there is hope for the Dragon Prince’s sacrifice, if your child is not thrown into the water, none of us will survive.”

The women turned pale with horror and rushed to snatch the children.

At the same time, he cried: "Give me back my child, he is only five years old..."

But the owner of the ship has lived on the ship for a long time, so the chassis is very stable.

At this time, the boat was extremely bumpy. The woman stood up unsteadily and staggered and fell on the deck. However, the boat owner's legs were as firm as the roots of an old tree.

Soon after, the captain of the boat was worried that his boat would sink. He walked to the side of the boat in a few steps, held up the child and threw it away.

The child was so frightened that his hands and feet were numb and he forgot to cry. This time he was thrown down without making any fuss.

There was only a shallow splash of water, and the child disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Everyone in the boat was stunned.

"I'm done. I'm sure I won't survive."

“It’s hard even for gods to save you!”

"She deserves it. Who told that woman to talk about throwing the child away? Just now I wanted to do something bad. Is sailing a joke?"

When the child's mother saw her child being thrown into the river, she screamed and wanted to jump into the river too.

But he was grabbed by others with all kinds of help.

"If you can't save him, don't follow him to death."

"It's all destiny."

"Remember from now on, don't talk too much..."

The woman watched the child disappear into the river, but she was helpless. She rolled her eyes and fainted immediately.

Jin Wuzhi opened his mouth wide: "Is the boss of this ship crazy?"

He heard no reply.

Turning around and looking,

Zhao Chuanxin beside him had already rushed to the side of the ship.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly jumped up, and the waves in the river that stirred up were not much bigger than the child. They also disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I am...

Including Jin Wuzhi, everyone on the boat was stunned.

Is this an initiative to buy one get one free for Lord Dragon?

The Dragon Prince is so happy today!

Looking at the raging river, everyone expected that this man and the child would not survive.

It was also strange that after two people, one large and one small, entered the river, the boat seemed to recover. The boss of the boat turned the rudder several times, returned to the right course, and sailed steadily towards the other side.

Jin Wuzhi carefully moved to the side of the ship, looked down, and shouted: "Mr. Zhao, are you still alive? Mr. Zhao, how are you..."

The passengers on the boat shook their heads when they saw it, and kindly tried to persuade him: "Don't try to jump off too."

Jin Wuzhi naturally did not have the courage to jump into the river, let alone for Zhao Chuanxin.

But he was hired by Wu Luzhen to serve as Zhao Chuanxin's translator and attendant. If something happened to Zhao Chuanxin, he was worried that Wu Luzhen would blame him.

Hence the "affectionate" call from the side of the ship.

However, the call was naturally unanswered.

After a while, Jin Wuzhi suddenly saw a small head exposed far downstream.

He was startled at first.

In areas where people live near rivers, lakes and seas, there will always be legends about water monsters, giant tortoises, and dragon kings.

Those rumor makers will swear that they have actually seen it with their own eyes.

But nothing material appeared.

Anyway, there must be some, but there are only a few cats and dogs.

If you say it's impossible, they will show off their ultimate trick - just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Tried and true.

Jin Wuzhi also thought that water ghosts were legendary species.

But he soon realized something was wrong, the little head was swimming rapidly towards the ship.

As he got closer, he could vaguely see the wet head of a child, with hair stuck to his face.

He pointed at the child and shouted to the boat boss: "Boss, it looks like that child, please slow down the boat."

Everyone looked towards where Jin Wuzhi was pointing and saw that it was really a child's head floating out of the water.

Some people also followed Jin Wuzhi to persuade the ship boss to stop the ship.

Although the boat boss looked confused, he shook his head firmly: "Sail against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Stopping is impossible."

Jin Wuzhi was furious: "Fuck, if Mr. Zhao survives, he won't be able to spare you!"

How could he not know who Zhao Chuanxin was? He was a fierce general from ancient times. He was as brave as Xiang Yu and Lu Bu, and he could kill a ruthless character among thousands of troops.

The boss of this ship is really desperate.

The boss of the boat also became stubborn: "If you don't know how to sail, don't give random orders."

What is Mr. Zhao not Mr. Zhao? On the ship, he represents authority.

Jin Wuzhi said angrily: "Fuck you, just wait to die."

In his hurry, he didn't know how to persuade her, so he angrily said his harsh words and stared at the river without blinking.

Soon, he was shocked to find that the speed of the little head swimming on the river seemed to be more than twice as fast as the small steamer, and it was approaching the steamer very quickly.

Not only him, but all the passengers on the ship were also confused.

How is this going?

Could it be that the person who just jumped out of the boat was holding the child under the water and swimming here?

But how is this possible?

Not to mention holding the child, even if there is no oil bottle, just swimming against the fast current, even if you can swim, you won't get any faster.

After thinking about it, the child had been lifted up and swam near the steamer.

If there are passengers with good water skills, go to the ship's side and prepare to greet them.

I saw the child in the water, still alive and well.

Because the water flow came in waves, the child kept opening his mouth and spitting water out. His spirit was slightly depressed, but he was not dead.

After getting closer, the two men hurriedly grabbed the child's hands and pulled the child onto the boat.

There was a loud splash of water.

Zhao Chuanxin jumped into the sky, grabbed the side of the ship by his waist and abdomen, and used his arm strength to throw himself onto the ship.

At the last moment, he removed the blue ghost armor, so his clothes were wet by the river water.

After getting on the boat, he tilted his head and danced on the deck to empty the water from his ears.

He pulled his hair back casually and wiped the water stains on his face.

He found a boatload of people looking at him as if he were a god.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand and said, "It's a small wind and a small wave, but it still took so long to rescue the person, which made everyone laugh."

Jin Wuzhi "..."

This guy is pretending, even if he gets 200 points, he won't be afraid of being proud, you know?

Zhao Chuanxin took off his shirt completely, revealing his muscular upper body.

Although he has clear muscle lines, he is not the kind of bodybuilder who spends time in the sun. Instead, his skin is fair and tender.

Everyone on the ship who knew "Water Margin" couldn't help but think of it - Bai Tiao in the Waves!

Zhao Chuanxin struggled with his arms to wring out the moisture from his clothes.

The two arm muscles twist like snakes.

Others couldn't help but cheer: "Hero, this is definitely a hero!"

"Well done, hero, have you ever seen the Dragon King underwater?"

"Nonsense, can you still come up alive after meeting the Dragon Prince?"

"Shit, this good guy, I don't think even the Dragon King dares to do anything to him!"

Zhao Chuanxin picked up his collar and flicked it with a bang.

He said with a smile: "I saw the Dragon King, and he wanted to fight with me. I have such a bad temper, how can I tolerate it? I went up and put my arms around the Dragon King's neck. It was wrapped around his neck. Le was out of breath and quickly begged for mercy. I pointed at its forehead and told it that if it messed around a lot in the future, I would use a butcher knife to bleed it and go back to stew sauerkraut!"

Nezha can peel off the dragon's tendons, so why can't Zhao Chuanxin bleed and stew sauerkraut?

Everyone is doubtful.

I really do believe it.

Why?

Just look at the boat boss's reaction to losing his child. People at this time are very superstitious. Many people had no doubts about the Dragon Prince, and just after the woman said she was going to throw the child into the water, the little steamer almost lost her head.

Throw the child down and the steamer immediately returns to normal.

Isn't this the Dragon King?

Zhao Chuanxin rescued the child easily, and his speed in the water was probably no more than that of the Dragon Prince.

"Awesome, this is not a hero, this is a god!"

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Low-key, everyone should be low-key. Don't sacrifice to any dragon prince in the future. Doesn't it deserve to know? My magic power is 10,000 times more powerful than it, but am I proud?"

"..."

The noise here and the shaking of the child woke up the unconscious woman.

She opened her eyes and saw the child next to her who was shaking her arms in panic and kept calling her mother.

"Wow" cried out: "My child, my mother and I are reunited in the underworld..."
