The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

At this time, there are not many designs on birthday cakes, and frosting and candies are the few decorations.

But one good thing is that pastry chefs at this time have mastered the method of extracting pure natural food coloring from berries, vegetables and tree bark.

Zhao Chuanxin used the cake embryo to carve a rough human shape.

And he carved a crown out of candy.

He used several colors of cream to cover the carving, and actually made a queen wearing a crown, which he inserted on the cake.

Under the stunned gaze of the pastry chef, the satisfied Wilhelmina left the cake shop.

The smile on Wilhelmina's face never broke.

As a queen, you can't help yourself.

Birthdays are just an alternative social occasion, where princes and nobles wear hypocritical masks, drink and drink together, which is boring and boring.

This year’s birthday is unique.

After getting on the carriage, Wilhelmina thought about all the things she had come to the United States and the situation she would face when she returned home, and she became depressed again.

How great would it be if she could be like an ordinary person and be able to choose her own life?

She hugged Zhao Chuanxin's arm and asked, "You know everything, what do you think people live for?"

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while: "Yin Huai did not promise the old Chongyang Festival, and the frost and snow penetrated the temples for no reason. You and I both have character flaws, but don't be like my butler Freddy, who even has to worry about which leg to walk first. Learn from me and never suffer from internal friction, and you will die as a young man."

It was like an enlightenment, and Wilhelmina's eyes suddenly lit up.

No matter what era, adults die from internal friction.

Zhao Chuanxin is a conscientious villain, practices the principle of going his own way, is a professional Cao Cao, and never cares about other people's evaluations.

He enjoys calling him morally corrupt.

He is happy to say that he has bad conduct.

Then he is invincible, even more powerful than being strong without desire.

Wilhelmina asked again: "So what if the person dies? Don't you care about the evaluation in the history books?"

Throughout history, Wilhelmina has gained a good reputation after all.

Zhao Chuanxin chuckled: "When a person dies, I am very sure that it will return to dust and return to dust. It is degradable, recyclable and low-carbon."

Wilhelmina smiled and rolled her eyes at him: "You are the only one who lives an open-minded life."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said nothing.

This just sounds open-minded, but in fact it is full of desolation behind it.

One day, even the memory of him will fade in people's hearts, and then he will really be completely degraded in the world.

Orientals talk about life and death as if they are cursing death. But Westerners have different concepts and don't have so many taboos. Especially people with faith, who think that going to heaven after death is another way to regain a new life.

Wilhelmina asked him again: "Then if your apprentice dies one day, will you be sad?"

"Yes." Zhao Chuanxin said seriously: "I will find a gong and drum team to beat and make it lively."

"Why? Is this the custom of you Easterners?"

"Haha, if you don't make it absurd and lively, if it's too serious, what if everyone starts laughing?"

"Ha ha……"

Grenville Harper also hired a stagecoach, which was hoisted not far and near, almost side by side with the guard behind it.

He heard the cheerful laughter coming from the carriage in front, and felt extremely sad.

People with a lot of inner drama are like this. When the burden of shaving their hair is overwhelming, they can regard someone as a forbidden wife.

The glass heart is very fragile.

(Have you thought of anything?)

There is no comparison with Captain Zhao. Captain Zhao’s life creed is that he cannot play a game without a goalkeeper.

Don’t you care to know?

Of course, he never cheats ordinary people.

Zhao Chuanxin also saw Grenville Harper behind him. He liked to see this kind of goalkeeper in pain and was so angry.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Shangwan.

The coachman stopped, knocked on the carriage, and shouted: "Sir, madam, we have reached the beach."

This is Lower Manhattan, the Upper Bay of New York City.

After getting off the car, Zhao Chuanxin looked back and said to Wilhelmina: "Tell your guards to keep them away. It's best to wait where they can't see you."

Wilhelmina was a little embarrassed: "These are the people hired by Edith. In view of what happened before, they may not listen."

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Then I'll try it."

The guards were members of the Secret Service sent by the White House, and were separated from Da Luo's bodyguard team.

Since the previous big boss was assassinated in 2001, the Secret Service, which was originally responsible for combating counterfeit banknote crimes, has assumed the responsibility of protecting the big boss.

At this time, they called Secret Service agents.

These special agents knew Wilhelmina's identity and were actually very curious about Zhao Chuanxin.

But Edith Roosevelt specifically told them that this matter should not be reported to anyone else, otherwise it would be a crime of treason.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin coming over, the chief secret service agent headed by him was surprised, but said nothing.

"Hey man, can you get some privacy?"

The chief secret service agent frowned: "Sorry, sir, before coming here, Madam asked me to protect Her Majesty the Queen at all times."

Over there, Grenville Harper did not get off the carriage, but watched the scene from a distance.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "Give me some face."

"Sorry, sir, this is really not allowed."

No oil or salt enters.

Stubborn.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I think that all of you combined can give her more protection than me alone. Let's do it this way, let's compare, and if I win, listen to me."

The chief secret service agent had a poker face, his mouth was pursed tightly, and he did not speak, but Zhao Chuanxin could clearly tell from his expression that he was unconvinced.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the coast: "I'm going to take her swimming. How about you and I compare our water skills?"

"Sorry sir, our charge is to protect the Queen, not to swim."

Damn, Zhao Chuanxian is a little convinced.

"Then if I take the Queen into the water, do you want to follow me?"

"This..." the chief secret service agent said helplessly, "I suggest you two not do this, it will make things difficult for us."

Zhao Chuanxin said nothing, turned around and left.

After returning, Wilhelmina asked expectantly: "Did they agree?"

"They'll figure it out eventually."

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin took Wilhelmina to the beach and said, "Don't be afraid, I will take you to jump into the sea."

"Don't mess around..." Wilhelmina was a little scared.

"When I count to three, we'll dance. Three..."

"ah……"

Behind, a group of Secret Service agents were dumbfounded.

These two really jumped into the sea.

I am...

The chief Secret Service agent was startled and rushed over, only to find no one down there.

Cold sweat broke out from his forehead instantly.

If something happened under his nose, he wouldn't be able to live with it.

So, he quickly loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. At this moment, he saw two heads exposed more than 20 meters away.

He heard Zhao Chuanxin shouting: "Hey, man, don't worry, we will go back soon."

The chief secret service agent breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, anger welled up in his heart.

He buttoned them all up and put the tie back around his neck.

But suddenly he was stunned.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them can swim more than 20 meters away?

Then, their heads suddenly disappeared into the sea.

In less than two breaths, it appeared on the shore.

Zhao Chuanxin lifted Wilhelmina ashore, then jumped out with a loud splash, causing a large splash of water, which was very shocking.

A group of Secret Service agents were dumbfounded.

The chief secret service agent was surprised to find that there was no water stain on Wilhelmina's skirt.

How can this be?

Are your eyes dazzled?

Zhao Chuanxin asked him with a smile: "How is it? Do you think I need your protection in the sea?"

Wilhelmina's face was filled with shock, disbelief, and a little bit of pride after experiencing a secret adventure.

The scene underwater just now was something she would never forget in her life.

The chief secret service agent gritted his teeth: "Sir, I admit that you have some mysterious abilities. However, protecting people is our profession..."

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the holster on his waist: "Are you saying that you are professionals when it comes to shooting? Or what?"

The secret service agents at this time were still very amateur.

Apart from blocking bullets when necessary, the rest is really just shooting skills.

Zhao Chuanxin turned around and saw a seagull circling.

Suddenly there was a Mosin-Nagant revolver in his hand.

The chief secret service agent felt his eyes dazzled. The gun spun twice on Zhao Chuanxin's finger, and he quickly pressed down on the hammer.

boom!

The seagull was shot and fell straight down.

Zhao Chuanxin pressed the hammer repeatedly but did not release the trigger.

boom!

boom!

boom!

The seagulls are torn apart!

The chief secret service agent looked dumbfounded.

Is this really possible for humans?

Zhao Chuanxin put away his gun: "How?"

"this……"

Zhao Chuanxin took out another Horse brand gun, quickly unloaded the magazine to check, then inserted it back, loaded it with one hand, unloaded it again, took out the bullet, dismantled the gun in an instant, and reassembled it.

His hands are big and steady, full of strength. His movements are so smart and sharp that you don't even have to look at them.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his chin: "In terms of shooting speed, you are not good. In terms of accuracy, you are still not good. In terms of familiarity with guns, I have touched more guns than your entire team...

This is called professionalism! "

The Chief Secret Service Agent had nothing to say, the facts were before him.

Even when he was in the army, he had never seen such a master.

"Sir, okay, but please be careful."

Wilhelmina was convinced.

After she met Zhao Chuanxin, she found that there seemed to be no problem that Zhao Chuanxin could not solve.

Whether it's human connections or various unexpected means.

Zhao Chuanxin was in no hurry to leave.

He walked toward Grenville Harper's carriage and knocked on the window.

Grenville Harper was like an ostrich in the desert, pretending to open the car window: "Ah, we meet again."

"Okay, acting master, stop pretending. I have something for you to do."

"What's the matter?" Grenville Harper's old face blushed slightly.

Zhao Chuanxin took a few bills and handed them over: "Go buy some food and come back and give it to those gentlemen. They haven't had lunch yet."

Grenville Harper's face turned red.

Are you treating him as an errand boy?

Or use him as a servant?

Upon seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin threatened with a smile: "If you don't do it, don't blame me for not reminding you. Ms. Maria will be very angry. She hates her mother-in-law the most."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

When he walked away, the nymphomaniac Grenville Harper looked down at the money in his hand, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.

You pay three fucking dollars for food for so many people? This seems to be the three dollars I got back from the jewelry store, from the clerk...

After seeing Zhao Chuanxin return, he said a few words to the special service agents, ran to the coast with Wilhelmina, and jumped...
