The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

These three things are each more difficult than the last.

Especially the third thing. After finishing speaking, Li Xi stared at Zhao Chuanxin, trying to find some "fear of difficulty" emotion on his face.

However, Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Is it just this nonsense? Do you need to say it so seriously?"

"Ah this..."

Li Xi couldn't understand, was Zhao Chuanxin bragging, or was he really sure of victory?

He hoped it was the latter.

When Zhao Chuanxin saw that he had finished speaking, he stood with his chest out and his hands behind his back: "Xiao Li, you don't have any ambitions. Really, I'm not trying to eliminate you."

The word "Xiao Li" made Li Xi feel numb.

He blinked his little eyes frequently: "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?"

"It's okay for you to kill Li Wanyong to relieve the hatred in your heart. It's okay to kill Ito Hirobumi. But if you kill Ito Hirobumi, your son Bowen, grandson Bowen, and great-grandson Bowen will come over. What you should really consider , how to overthrow Japanese control."

Li Xi didn't understand this. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhao, your thinking is too simple. If the Japanese can be driven away, will I still be here like a doormat, living in the cracks?"

At least Zhao Chuanxin knows the direction of history.

He looked at Li Xi with pitiful eyes: "I'm afraid you don't know something yet."

"What's up?"

"Ito Hirobumi and Hasegawa Yomichi are already planning to sign the "Third Japan-Korea Agreement" with Lee Wanyong. The first article of the agreement is to disband your Korean army."

Li Xi's expression changed drastically after hearing this: "Impossible, how dare they..."

Before he finished speaking, he was horrified.

He felt that what Zhao Chuanxin said might be true.

For a long time, he, the emperor, had given in step by step, but Japan's ambitions continued to expand.

Power has been gradually emptied out, and now only two aspects have been eroded: one is the legislative power, and the other is the military.

Zhao Chuanxin's words made him stand on the spot as if he was struck by lightning.

"What should I do..."

Zhao Chuanxin sneered: "What should we do? The knife is on my neck. It will be too late if we don't resist."

What he said was just a slap in the face.

It is true that Li Xi was deprived of all his power, but he did not lose his wealth.

If there is really a desperate counterattack as Zhao Chuanxin said.

If it succeeds, everything will be fine, but if it fails, not only will the wealth and wealth be lost, but one's life may also be lost.

But why does it matter whether he dies or not and whether Zhao will pass on his salary?

Li Xi hesitated.

Assassination of Li Wanyong, that's out of the question.

The assassination of Ito Hirobumi can be entirely attributed to Zhao Chuanxin's private behavior.

Because Zhao Chuanxin already had a problem with the Japanese, the two sides had been hostile to each other for more than a day or two.

But it's completely different for him, Li Xi, to carry the knife into battle himself.

Looking at his cowardly look, Zhao Chuanxin roughly guessed his inner fear.

So he added more and more: "It's better to do this. You find someone. This person must have some ability to lead troops, but he has no reputation. Then you provide the money. Give me the people and money, I will train him a little, and then let them Form a rebel army to resist Japanese tyranny."

"This..." Li Xi still hesitated, because there is no airtight wall in the world: "We will discuss this matter later. Mr. Zhao only needs to do the first three things well."

If you don't dare to do this, then Zhao Chuanxin will stop persuading him.

He still has a backup plan, he just needs to wait for the opportunity.

"By the way, I have something else I need you to do."

Li Xi was confused.

I've already paid for it, why do I have to help you?

Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully: "I am a person who likes reading and painting. I heard that your maps of old Korea are exquisite. Please pack all these maps for me and I will take them back and copy and study them slowly."

"..."

Shit is so exquisite!

Li Xi started thinking and figured it out quickly.

The rebel army led by Zhao Chuanxin has been at odds with the Japanese in the Jiandao area for a while.

When he asked for the map, he must be looking for evidence that Jiandao belonged to the Qing court.

This also made Li Xi hesitate.

He also wanted Jiandao very much.

Bangzi's shameless cross-border reclamation and even occupation of land in the Central Plains have existed since ancient times.

Shamelessness is passed down from generation to generation.

Seeing his hesitation, Zhao Chuanxin roughly guessed what he was thinking, and there was murderous intent in his eyes: "Xiao Li, are you worried about Jiandao even if you are in trouble? To tell you the truth, if you dare to take advantage of Jiandao, Zhao I swear here that I will make a drum out of your skin and have people beat it day and night, so as to warn your descendants and remind them what they should do and what they should not do!"

I am...

So cruel?

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin's undisguised murderous intention, Li Xi quickly shook his head: "Don't dare, Jiandao belongs to the Central Plains. I will give you the map."

Only then did Zhao Chuanxin restrain his murderous intent.

Li Xi added: "Li Wanyong took away a few maps before, but fortunately they all have copies. Let's get the maps first, and then take Mr. Zhao to withdraw money from the bank account."

After hearing the money, Zhao Chuanxin immediately put on a smile and said politely: "Xiao Li, please go first. After all, you are the emperor."

Li Xi: "..."

Did you remember that I am the emperor now?

The two went out.

Li Xiangxi and Nabeshima Itoko were talking.

Nabeshima Itoko was not good at threatening others, so she could only secretly tell Li Xiangxi that she was being coerced.

She not only wanted to explain why she was alone with another man in the middle of the night, but also wanted to ask Li Xiangxi for help to help her get out of trouble.

But Li Xiangxi just pretended to be stupid and ignored him.

It's none of my business anyway, and I won't go out to gossip. I have nothing to do with any sordidness between you.

Nabeshima Itoko was helpless.

Born in Italy since childhood, she is different from most Japanese.

I haven’t learned how despicable and pushy the Japanese are.

After Zhao Chuanxin came out, he said, "Have you had a great time chatting?"

Li Xiangxi also asked whether Zhao Chuanxin and the princess had any secrets that he had to tell, thinking that Zhao Chuanxin was questioning them.

He quickly clarified: "It's okay, the princess and I are innocent..."

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at him in surprise: "What do you mean? Do you still want to cuckold Li Bengong?"

"Don't slander others." Li Xiangxi was startled.

This is even more serious than being misunderstood by Zhao Chuanxin.

Nabeshima Itoko finally couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhao, stop talking nonsense."

Li Xi's eyes wandered between Zhao Chuanxin and Nabeshima Itoko, and after a while he suddenly said: "Miss Nabeshima, there is something I shouldn't say more about. But I feel it is necessary to tell you."

Next to him, Zhao Chuanxin sneered in his heart, if Li Xi dared to be so assertive and hesitant to talk to him like this, I would definitely give him two big armbands!

But Nabeshima Itoko had a good temper after all, so she nodded and said, "Please be clear."

Li Xi said: "According to the report from my guards, the Japanese didn't know you were leaving at the time and fired directly at the room where Mr. Zhao was. Later, when they went up and found your bodies in your room, they learned that you had escaped. "

Zhao Chuanxin took a breath of cold air.

Your Majesty really does not miss any opportunity to cause trouble for little Japan.

Sowing discord, that's a good hand.

As expected, Nabeshima Itoko turned pale after hearing this.

This shows what?

This shows that Rimotomiya Mamomasa did not stop the Japanese army from firing, and had put her life and death at risk.

Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes and stepped forward very "cooperatively" and took Nabeshima Itoko's little hand: "Sister, don't worry, you still have me, don't you?"

I can't be a licking dog, but I can act like a licking dog.

Haha, since you, Li Xi, can sow discord, then I, Old Zhao, will naturally be able to take advantage of the situation.

I, Lao Zhao, am a professional Cao Cao who specializes in cuckolding little Japanese.

Li Xiangxi's eyes widened when he saw it.

This is the princess of Japan.

Zhao Chuanxin just held her little hand like this?

Even Li Xi was dumbfounded.

Zhao Chuanxin blinked: "What are you doing standing around, going to the study to get a map?"

Li Xi: "Oh, yes, look at me today. My eyesight is not good. I can't see or say anything. I can't even remember anything."

Li Xi had said everything, and Li Xiangxi opened his mouth, but couldn't fart.

Nabeshima Itoko was distracted. When Zhao Chuanxin pulled her to the study, she suddenly woke up and hurriedly pulled her hand back.

In the past, Zhao Chuanxin took advantage in private, and he always had high-sounding excuses to shirk.

But now that there is an outsider, how can we let him hold me back like this?

Zhao Chuanxin just had his hands free and went to look at the map handed over by Li Xi.

After flipping through a few pages, I finally saw the "Dadongyu Map".

After a cursory look, there is no dispute that the Jiandao area has always been part of the Central Plains.

He nodded with satisfaction: "Xiao Li, I took all these maps with me. Don't worry, I will have someone copy them later and send the rest back to you."

What else can Li Xi say?

Next, if we go to the internal funds, it will be difficult for Nabeshima Itoko and Li Xiangxi to follow.

Li Xiangxi pointed at the unconscious guard on the ground and asked, "Your Majesty, what should he do?"

Li Xi waved his hand: "Go down and find someone to take him away quietly for treatment. Don't disturb others."

The royal internal funds are completely different from what Zhao Chuanxin thought.

It is definitely not piled up like a dragon's treasure.

Registered land documents are stacked on the ancient shelf carved with Qilin Xiangyun.

Zhao Chuanxin flipped through a few books and was shocked.

Not only are there land properties on the peninsula, but there are also villas, courtyards and palaces in Japan such as "Lakushou Garden" and "Canglang Pavilion".

All added up, it is definitely no less than 500 hectares of land.

Seeing him staring at the land books, Li Xi said with a darkened face: "Mr. Zhao, I'm letting you take the gold, silver, jewelry or treasures here. It's just the amount you can carry with you. You can't take these books with you." Walk."

What a joke, if Zhao Chuanxin were to pack up the brochures of these other businesses, it would not take up much space for him, but Li Xi would suffer a huge loss.

Zhao Chuanxin said disdainfully: "Xiao Li, look at how stingy you are, am I, Zhao Chuanxin, that kind of person? But I think you have too many houses, so why don't you leave this palace in Kobe to me?" . I will reluctantly take care of it for you for decades, and then I will return it to you."

"..."

Li Xi's distressed cheek muscles trembled.

"Then, that, then this is the room, we can't add more."

"No problem, I'm not the kind of person who takes things too far, you know?"

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin happily put the booklet into his pocket and continued to move forward.

On a shelf carved with dragon patterns, there stood a bowl with tall legs.

Zhao Chuanxin actually likes art, but in the past, his strength did not allow him to own antiques that were more than a hundred and fifty years old.

Therefore, he sometimes buys some foreign gadgets to play with.

Domestic ones can’t afford it.

Seeing the bowl, he stepped forward and picked it up without hesitation.

Li Xi regretted a little, and he quickly said: "Mr. Zhao, this bowl actually, actually, actually has my name written on it."

This bowl is really his favorite.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at it carefully and saw that this bowl was painted with five-color necklaces. The colors were strange and the painting skills were magnificent, which was really rare.

He lifted it up and looked at it, and saw the words "Ming Jiajing Year System" written on the bottom of the bowl.

On top of the original words, someone even added the words "Dahan Guangmu Year" in a superfluous way.

Gwangmu is the current era name of Korea.

In the past, they had the same era name as the Central Plains, but now that they are independent, they must have their own era name.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't help complaining and scolding Li Xi: "Xiao Li, I'm not talking about you. Why do you print your reign number on my bowl?"

Li Xi was immediately stunned.

What do you call your bowl?

He has never met anyone like Zhao Chuanxin.

"Ah, this, this is clearly..."

"It's obviously my bowl." Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him and said very dissatisfied. "But I didn't realize, Xiao Li, that you were so thick-skinned. Why did you print the year number on it? Hey, wait, it seems like it can be wiped off."

It turned out that what was left behind was just a superficial mark, which disappeared after rubbing it with my fingers twice.

Only then did Zhao Chuanxin have an idea: "Okay, thank you for keeping it for me for so many years. I'll take it away now, so I won't trouble you."

Li Xi was actually lucky, thinking that Zhao Chuanxin was just a vulgar martial artist who didn't understand treasures at all, so he would definitely dive into gold, silver and jewelry when he came.

Unexpectedly, this man pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger. He had sharp eyes and almost immediately pocketed the best things.

Li Xi's heart was bleeding.

Zhao Chuanxin held the bowl in his arms and continued to move forward.

The Lotus Sutra of Wonderful Dharma, the standing bronze statue of Tathagata, the seated statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, etc. all look good.

Of course, nothing can compare to the colorful Yingluo tall bowl in Zhao Chuanxin's arms.

Others only said that after Japan occupied Korea, they took away all their treasures.

This is not the case.

Mrs. Li has been living well.

The gold and silver area inside was indeed dazzling. Zhao Chuanxin walked forward and traced the tips of his fingers on the silver ingots.

If other ordinary people see this treasure, they will definitely be confused.

But Li Xi found that Zhao Chuanxin's expression was clear and clear, and there was an unusual charm in it.

This is strange.

Could it be that he has seen it before?

Zhao Chuanxin had never seen anything like this before. The banks before the restructuring had sufficient reserves.

When he withdrew money, gold and silver were also piling up.

It's a pity that those bitches are not human beings. The Taihu bandits only robbed 40,000 yuan in one trip, which made Zhao Chuanxin no longer interested in visiting.

He picked up two gold ingots and said, "Xiao Li, that's it, let's go."

Although his beloved baby was taken away, Li Xi was ready to continue bleeding heavily.

However, that's it?

He glanced at Zhao Chuanxin suspiciously.

Zhao Chuanxin also looked at him and said cheerfully: "Xiao Li, is it true that we have decided to part ways after we leave this door?"

It’s hard to hear when you leave your purchase.

But Li Xi nodded cheerfully: "That's right, I will leave as soon as I leave this door."

"Okay, let's go. Xiao Li, please go first!"

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin really "takes it as soon as it's good", Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, let's go out."

Zhao Chuanxin felt happy.

He walked all the way behind, no matter whether it was gold, silver, or jewelry and treasures on the ancient shelves, a large piece was missing.

Of course, Li Xi in front didn't see it.

After exiting the door, Li Xi quickly closed the door.

Lock the inner bank door as soon as possible.

It's like a dog is chasing me from behind.

Wipe the cold sweat on your forehead - it's so dangerous.

I can never make this kind of promise again, it will scare people to death.

When he turned around, he saw that the bowl in Zhao Chuanxin's hand was gone.

Surprised: "Mr. Zhao, where is your bowl?"

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes widened: "Huh? Yes, did it fall inside? Otherwise, let's open the door and go get it."

Li Xi shook his head like a rattle: "We agreed to buy it and leave. Mr. Zhao, this is what we agreed to do. You must be reputable."

Zhao Chuanxin's face was filled with annoyance: "Hey, yes, the deal is gone. You are the emperor, and I am the God of War. We are both the kind of people who stick to their word. If anyone goes back on his word, we can't afford to lose that person. . Whoever goes back on his word will be his grandson. Are you right?"

Li Xi was stunned.

I am Cao!

Why doesn't it feel right?

He laughed dryly and said, "Mr. Zhao, I've said that."

"No!" Zhao Chuanxin's face was serious. "Xiao Li, let me ask you, does a man keep his word?"

"right."

"Then, whoever goes back on his word will be the grandson. Just tell me, is it right or wrong?"

"Uh...right!"

"Okay, it's okay, let's go."

Li Xi felt a little confused for no reason.

Somehow, I suddenly felt lost.

Wait until you go back to find Itoko Nabeshima and Li Xiangxi.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at his watch: "Xiao Li, it's getting late. Please arrange accommodation."

Li Xi hesitated and said: "Mr. Zhao, to be honest, I have no place to stay."

In fact, he didn't want Zhao Chuanxin to stay overnight.

There is still room for such a huge palace.

But if the Japanese knew that he was taking Zhao Chuanxin in, things would be bad.

It would be better to let disaster stars Zhao Chuanxin and Nabeshima Itoko, the hot potatoes, leave as soon as it gets dark.

Zhao Chuanxin was unhappy when he heard this: "Why, can't you arrange such a trivial matter? Do you look down on me? Xiao Li, you don't give me face, do you?"

Li Xiangxi coughed beside him: "Your Majesty, if not, please take Mr. Zhao in for one night."

He couldn't stand it anymore.

How about staying one night?

"Mr. Zhao, to be honest, there really are no spare rooms in Xianning Palace."

Xianning Hall is Li Xi's bedroom, and the queen also lives there.

But he changed the subject: "There is a lounge in Jingguanxuan, and Miss Nabeshima can stay there. As for Mr. Zhao, you can spend the night with my guards. My guards can be trusted and will not go out and spread rumors. "

When Zhao Chuanxin heard this, he exploded: "What? Making do with the guards? Zhao has never been in the same room with a man in his life. Since there is only one room left, I will live with the princess."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked...
