The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Finally, it was the turn of reporters from all over the country to take the stage.

"Mr. Zhao, can we take pictures?"

Zhao Chuanxin had said at the beginning that only with his permission could anyone take photos.

If others say it, there may be some bold reporters who try it secretly.

American journalists, for example, want to boast that they are adventurous.

But what Zhao Chuanxin said is another matter.

If you don't listen, your life is in danger.

Zhao Chuanxin waved: "Come over and take pictures."

How can such a thing be done without publicity? Where can the power of faith come from without publicity?

The reporters were overjoyed and immediately put up shelves and half-surrounded the negotiation table.

The most formal one is the one at the end of the negotiation table, where representatives from both sides look at the camera in unison.

Zhao Chuanxin was wearing a gray-blue suit with double palace silk, which was not yet popular at this time.

What is double palace silk?

Two silkworms spin a cocoon, which is called a double cocoon.

The silk reeled from the double palace cocoons is called double palace silk.

Double palace silk is thicker and rougher than ordinary silk, and is incomparable with the delicacy and softness of normal silk fabrics.

There will be some tiny lumps on the clothes, which look like pilling at first glance. But if you look closely, you will find that this silk material is more fluffy than usual.

This kind of fabric suit also has the glossy feel of silk fabric, but it is matte.

Generally speaking, it is crisp, strong hanging, tough, and rugged with a low-key elegance.

At this time, double palace silk suits were not popular yet, and the uncommon double palace silk silk suits, which were only found in thousands of miles, were usually picked out and sold at low prices or even thrown away because merchants were worried about affecting the overall quality of the silk.

Therefore, Zhao Chuanxian’s two sets of double palace silk suits were purchased at the cheapest price, showing a one-of-a-kind style.

Didn't a reporter whisper: "Mr. Zhao is so simple, he still wears a suit that is so old."

"How can things be so simple? These days, he wears different styles of suits every time he comes here. The cheapest ones are cashmere worsted. Do you think he is rustic? Look carefully, it is not shabby. On the contrary, this suit is new, just the fabric It’s special, it looks really good on him, noble and masculine.”

"Ah... when it's over, I'll ask someone to find out what kind of fabric this is, and I'll make one too."

The others were sitting upright, but Zhao Chuanxin, who was in the deepest part of the camera, was leaning back on his chair. At the moment when the photo was taken, he was drinking water from a prismatic glass with a round belly, covering half of his face.

reporter:"……"

Next person.

At the moment of filming, Zhao Chuanxin raised the cigar in his hand and took a puff. His expression was unpredictable in the smoke, and his face could not be seen clearly.

From another angle, Zhao Chuanxin leaned forward, crossed his hands, and blocked his chin with his fists. The cigar held in his right hand stood up, blocking one eye. Only one third of his face was exposed.

Journalists are going crazy.

Can you still have fun playing?

On purpose?

That is to say, a side shot, when the back of Zhao Chuanxin is photographed, the entire back of Zhao Chuanxin is captured.

Other reporters were timid, but only George Lynch stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zhao, can I take a photo of you alone?"

Zhao Chuanxin pulled Zhang Shouzeng and Wu Luzhen over and said: "Come on, these two are the pillars of China, the heroes of China's future. They will dedicate the brightest smiles in their lives to your camera."

George Lynch: "..."

Zhang Shouzeng and Wu Luzhen were embarrassed.

The two were at a loss as they accepted the photo taken by George Lynch with blushing faces.

Two photos were taken in succession, and these two photos have been passed down into the 21st century.

When Zhao Chuanxin dodged, he happened to be near the reporter who was discussing the fabric of his suit.

The reporter was so curious that he couldn't hold it back and reached out to touch Zhao Chuanxin's clothes.

Damn, it’s not pilling or wear and tear. The suit is really new.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly turned his head: "Ang, are you warning you not to do anything?"

The reporter was startled, smiled, and bravely asked: "Mr. Zhao, what kind of fabric is your suit made of? It looks so unique. The more you look at it, the more noble it becomes."

"Haha, if you want to say this, then I won't be sleepy anymore." Zhao Chuanxin turned to talk to the reporter: "This starts with the Tang Dynasty..."

Zhao Chuanxin told him about the Silk Road to the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of China.

The reporter was stunned.

After talking a lot, the reporter finally came to the conclusion - double palace silk.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't know that he was causing another bad trend in the fashion world.

In fact, the duplex silk fabric is very niche and has not many suitors. This has always been the case.

But after his clothes were reported in newspapers, suits made of duplex silk became popular around the world, and duplex silk was sold at sky-high prices.

Everyone likes to pretend to be in a certain way: for example, someone laughs at you for wearing shabby clothes, and you say you are a fool. This is double palace silk, and the kind Zhao Chuanxin wears can buy you ten ordinary silk suits.

It’s so cool.

No matter how noisy it is, it will eventually come to an end.

Before the curtain call, Kuosowici said meaningfully to Zhao Chuanxin in front of a group of reporters and representatives of the Qing court: "Mr. Zhao, I have a message for you - you cannot be the enemy of the whole world. You have already Standing on the edge of an abyss.”

The reporters were immediately excited.

If we don’t do something, how can the reporting be exciting?

Aixinjueluo Yikuang was stunned at first, and then gloated: "Zhao Chuanxin, sooner or later you will have something good to look at."

Xu Shichang and Wu Luzhen frowned and thought of some possibilities.

Zhang Shouzeng and other people from the Russia Negotiation Bureau stood closely behind Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin was silent for a few seconds, and then said with a grin: "If it's for these mountains and rivers, I would rather fight the whole world, and I would jump into the abyss without hesitation!"

The audience was silent, and George Lynch suddenly applauded.

Looking at the issue from a neutral perspective, any passion for defending the country is worthy of praise.

Zhao Chuanxin answered beautifully, and the audience applauded.

Kuosowici was shocked. He wanted to find a place before leaving, but Zhao Chuanxin was asked to pretend to be a showdown.

Where the hell is this going to make sense?

You can’t always be passive and show off.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and said to Kosovitz: "I also want to give you a message from Tsarist Russia. Your soldiers are forced to join the army or for salary, but my soldiers are fighting to rebuild the mountains and rivers and defend their homeland."

The reporters were so excited that even the acne on their faces shone.

Bravo!

Wu Luzhen's eyes widened: Awesome!

Xu Shichang said in his heart: Zhao Tangong is indeed Zhao Tangong, even his diplomacy is so sharp.

Only Aixinjueluo Yikuang was surprised and displeased.

The entire Qing court could not find anyone like Zhao Chuanxin who could say such confident things.

Just asking are you angry?

Moreover, during the conversation, Zhao Chuanxin only talked about the mountains and rivers and the country. The soldiers said that they were his soldiers and said nothing about the Qing court.

The intention is obvious.

Zhao Chuanxin held his cigar at an angle, put on his coat and led the crowd out. He took away his relatives without acknowledging them, while all his subordinates walked away with their chests held high and their heads high and proud.

The next day, Hailar, Manzhouli and nearby villages and counties were in a state of excitement.

Zhao Chuanxin really did it.

Zhao Chuanxin led them to recapture the pasture, farmland, minerals, almost the entire Ergun River, and the grassland and farmland on the left bank of the Ergun River...

Zhao Chuanxin also asked for 350,000 taels of war compensation from Tsarist Russia.

This is a lot of money.

Now, there will no longer be a single Russian soldier between Manchuria and Zhalantun.

Some people set off firecrackers, and some people put up lanterns and festoons.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin's reputation in the Hailar region reached its peak.

Regardless of bannerman, no one does not appreciate him, admire him, and love him.

Magistrate Zhao was in the spotlight for a while.

The Hailar area now only knows the Lubin Mansion but not the Military Preparation Road. Song Xiaolian has already sent a call to the court to withdraw the Military Preparation Road.

He plays no role here.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court directly agreed to transfer him elsewhere, but it did not cancel the Hulun Military Preparation Road. Instead, Huang Shifu took over the post of Taoist.

Huang Shifu is also in trouble. He talks bad things about Zhao Chuanxin everywhere, but now he seems to be a joke.

Is this what you mean when people live in dire straits?

If he dared to go out and say this again, he would probably be drowned in saliva.

In Lugang Town, Zhao Zhongyi used a big gun to pick up a wheel in the yard to practice his strength.

He suddenly threw the wheel away, picked up the big gun and started beating randomly, venting his joyful "Ahhhhhh" in his mouth.

Until I was out of breath and sweating profusely.

He just threw the big gun onto the weapon rack, raised his head and laughed loudly: "Good job passing on the salary, it's a pleasure, it's really a pleasure."

In Lugang Town Primary School, a group of snot-nosed children sang while walking after school: "Kill the idiots, beat the devils..."

Passing by a candied haws stall, I had to stop to buy a bunch and keep walking and singing.

…

Flying in the sky.

Wang changed his name and spat in vernacular: "The Russian guy pointed at our shopkeeper's nose and said - don't be arrogant, you have offended the whole world - our shopkeeper raised his hand and slapped him, telling him - I want the whole world to come together. ...The Russians gave in and signed the Treaty of Wushen..."

Liu Ai pinched his waist and spat: "Fart, that's diplomacy. Diplomacy makes you talk like scoundrels saying harsh words in a fight."

Wang changed his name and pointed at Liu Ai: "What do you know? Our shopkeeper kicked that Tsarist Russian minister to death on the spot. He kicked him for more than a hundred meters and fell to the ground until he was not human. You know? What diplomacy, everything is ours." The shopkeeper has the final say.”

"..." Liu Ai was speechless: "You are stupider than Crazy Li outside. Are the shopkeeper's legs like cannons? Can they blast people hundreds of meters away?"

…

Japan.

Mr. Shuren is working at his desk, proofreading the manuscript, and translating "Collection of Foreign Novels" with his younger brother Zuoren.

He sneezed and rubbed his nose. Recently, he had a pimple on his nose. He happened to have a cold because it was too cold in the room and he always suffered when blowing his nose. .

The two brothers lived in a particularly tight situation here, with neither enough food nor clothing to keep them warm.

At this time, my younger brother Zuoren came into the house carrying a newspaper: "A happy event, a happy event..."

"What happy event?"

"Zhao Chuanxin, Zhao Tangong, he defeated the Russians, drove away the Russian soldiers, took over more than 9,000 square kilometers of land, and asked for 350,000 taels of war compensation from Tsarist Russia. Aren't you happy about that?"

"Is this happening?" Shuren took the newspaper and read it, feeling excited and suddenly having the desire to write something in his heart.

He sighed: "People are fighting hard, but I am wasting my time..."

"Brother, Zhao Chuanxin doesn't like the Japanese. I think we should go back to China!"

The tree man was stunned.

After pondering for a long time, he patted his thigh: "Okay!"

…

Netherlands, Amsterdam Royal Palace.

Queen Wilhelmina looked at the text message and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, your father is fine."

What the half-fairy said to her daughter Ke's father kept echoing in her mind.

Juliana suddenly uttered a simple syllable: "Dad..."

Wilhelmina looked at her daughter in shock.

Is Zhao Chuanxin's daughter really a monster?

Can you speak in just a few months?

…

Zhao Chuanxin, who was on his way, suddenly trembled.

It seems like someone is talking about myself.

He shook his head to dispel the thought.

In the past two days, the old sacred altar has been frantically absorbing the power of faith.

The power of faith at this time was not limited to the original regions, but came from all over the country and even the world.

Zhao Chuanxin even suspected that many foreigners contributed to it.

He was right.

In fact, regardless of nationality, everyone loves Qiang.

Even if you are just an actor, if you feel powerful, you can still gain fans from all over the world, such as single-bone dragons and double-bone dragons.

Zhao Chuanxin is the number one tough guy in the world today. Among foreigners, his fans include both men and women.

Men want to imitate him and become stronger, and there are many women who have never seen him face to face but want to spend a night together with him.

Many noble ladies in the West, including Tsarist Russia, threatened that as long as Zhao Chuanxin was willing, he could do whatever he wanted.

In addition, there are also weird popular trends blowing around the world.

Zhao Chuanxin's dressing style has become a popular trend.

Come on, when a tough guy wears a suit, he doesn't wear smooth silk satin like you, he wears duplex silk fabric.

Zhao Chuanxin was just guessing, he didn't know the details at all.

He thought to himself: We need to do more things, the power of faith cannot stop.

A lot of faith will be used in the future.

Fortunately, after the old sacred altar was upgraded, the power of faith was fully exerted.

Zhao Chuanxin's route went straight south from Zhalantun, passed Taonan, passed through Tongliao, passed through KLQQ, passed through Chengde, and finally arrived in the capital.

The wind was so strong that it affected Zhao Chuanxin's traveling speed.

He was moving at a speed of 170-220 kilometers per hour. In the afternoon, he felt a little unbearable and walked across the mountains from KLQQ to Lao Yaotou's home.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin, Lao Yaotou rubbed his eyes.

"Haha, man, you read that right, it's me." Zhao Chuanxin came in carrying two frozen big fat-headed fish, two roe deer hind legs, two bear paws and two bottles of wine.

"What happened to my grandson and my eldest son? Did Xingyuan go to Hyrule?"

Information is scarce these days, and it takes ten and a half days to write a letter, which is considered fast.

Zhao Chuanxin put the things into the room and said, "Very good. I also brought you some photos for you to take a look at."

The photo was taken by George Lynch and requested by Zhao Chuanxin.

The dog gets the moon first when he is close to the water and the tower, so you have to make him pay something.

The photo shows Yao Xingyuan hanging by his arms and dragging a sledge with his other arm. Sitting on the sledge is a thick layer of Yao Bing.

"Oh, Doubao, my eldest grandson..." Old Yao Tou burst into tears.

Then he discovered that his son was injured: "What happened to Xingyuan's arm?"

"It's not a big problem. I met Maozi on the road and got shot."

Old Yao's lips trembled: "Are you disabled?"

"Well..." Zhao Chuanxin evaded the important and said: "It's a blessing in disguise. The person who shot him is a major general of the Russian army. I extorted a large sum of money from him for Xingyuan. You and your family can go and eat and drink without any worries. Even the ground There’s no need to plant anymore. I’ll arrange a living for you later, and you can start business instead.”

"This..." The amount of information was too much, and Old Yao couldn't digest it for the first time: "We know nothing but farming."

"We'll talk about this later. All in all, don't worry. When I leave tomorrow, you can all move in with your whole family. Doubao always remembers my grandma, and I know that even if he doesn't tell me."

Old Yaotou was excited when he heard about his eldest grandson: "Okay, okay, let's go, all go..."

There is grass growing in my heart that cannot be cut away no matter how hard I try.

Zhao Chuanxin drank some wine with him.

This time Zhao Chuanxin really drank, but not much, just two cups.

He had a good capacity for drinking. After two cups, he didn't even feel drunk, but his face felt slightly hot.

The heated kang was so hot that Zhao Chuanxin felt better after he moved to the end of the kang.

Open the "Code of Old Gods".

[I spent 50,000 gold coins to buy temperature control rune fragments, and then purchased other materials one after another. In the end, I only had 8,394 gold coins, 603 silver coins and 259 copper coins left in my hand. 】

[Although the desert emperor's puppet army no longer makes trouble for me, I still dare not take it lightly and will not go out and hang out easily. 】

[What troubles me is that I have never heard about the brothers and sisters, the elf scouts and the craftsmen. They seemed to be hiding, hiding so thoroughly that even the eyes of the whole city of the Desert Emperor could not spy on their whereabouts. 】

[I had no choice but to put up another signboard under the original signboard, which read: Pioneer Partner Haven. They'll know I'm here when they see it. 】

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

"I" am impeccable in character and morality.

Integrity, bravery, loyalty...

Unlike Zhao Chuanxin, who has a bad mouth, he is still an old bastard, has a bad temper and is murderous.

[Unexpectedly, this sign failed to attract my companions, but it attracted many artistic young people from Rune City. They actually drank drinks, read newspapers or chatted at the table I set up for my partners. Of course, when they leave, they will probably spend money to buy some small glass products. Because my place is not something that poor people can afford. They are not short of money. 】

[The refugees next door have gradually become more courageous in the past few days. They have dared to come out of the boring sweat-sweat den and come to my place to sit or bask in the scorching sun outside. In the past, they hated it very much. 】

[I asked a refugee to help me keep an eye on the shop, while I went to the sweat shop next door to check on the progress of Master Jia and the black puppet craftsman. 】

[Master Jia saw me and said excitedly: The main body has been completed. Give me your helmet. I will remove the devil's foresight and install it on the new helmet. After completing this, it's time for you to fulfill your promise and take us away from Rune City. 】

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly sent the helmet over.

[After spending most of the day, Master Jia and the black puppet craftsmen finally completed the soft gold armor. The black and white color of the soft gold armor is the same as that of the Desert Emperor's Chaos Armor. Originally I thought it should be called Chaos Armor because the color and raw materials are the same. 】

[But Master Jia said to me: No, I participated in the production of the Desert Emperor's Chaos Armor. Its internal power uses the longest worm silk to be up to twenty meters long. I don't know how many years it took to become so long, and it was installed. Eight azure crystals for energy. The internal power worm threads of the soft gold armor were all broken threads taken from the remains of the severed limbs of the puppet soldiers, and only three azure crystals were used as energy sources. The two are not the same, so let's call it Soft Golden Armor. 】

The old man is quite stubborn.

[Master Jia said: Now should you send us out of the city? 】

[I nodded: Come with me, I have bought a giant beetle for you at the market for you to ride away. Master Jia, where are you going? 】

Zhao Chuanxin actually didn't want Master Jia to leave, but he had no excuse to stay. Don't break the contract and lose a hundred years of life.

[Master Jia didn’t even want to say it: Go to the Haishi Virtual Realm. I have old friends who have settled there. I can get tickets for entry and exit. 】

Do you need a ticket to get in or out?

[Master Jia asked me: Fearless Pioneer, what about you? Where are you going? 】

[I said: I want to stay in Rune City and wait for my companions. I have been exhausted these years and want to rest for a few years, so it is better to stay here. 】

[Master Jia nodded: Be careful of the Desert Emperor, he is an insidious tyrant, and he is especially vengeful. 】

[I dressed up and took them out. 】

[The refugees from the Blood Sweat Stolen Cave fled en masse in broad daylight, causing the residents of Rune City to watch. They pointed, but did not dare to get close, because they were worried that the Desert Emperor would come to retaliate and be harmed. 】

[However, until we reached the gate of Rune City, the puppet soldiers just watched us quietly as we left the city, and the sand soldiers showed no intention of stopping us. 】

[Master Jia and others rode on the giant beetle and headed east. 】

[I filled the bag with sand outside the city and headed back. 】

[On the way back to the shop, when I passed the sewer entrance in the city, I heard something strange below. I looked down and saw a pair of big, bright eyes looking up at me. 】

[I was shocked: Elf scout? 】

[I didn’t expect that they had been hiding in the sewer. 】

[I removed the iron bars of the sewer and pulled them up one by one. 】

[They complained to me one after another: We are hiding in the smelly sewers, but you can actually walk in the City of Rune openly? 】

[I feel guilty. There is also dirty water and feces that I splashed in this sewer. 】

[I said to them: Don’t worry, the Desert Emperor doesn’t dare to make things difficult for us anymore, he doesn’t dare. 】

[Back at the store, I took them to take a bath, change clothes, and gave them a sum of gold coins to go shopping as they pleased to make up for the guilt in my heart. 】

[When they saw the signboard of Pioneer Partner Haven, they stopped complaining. 】

[I want to rest here and do business. Craftsmen are to learn here. My siblings have always been with me through thick and thin. Only the elf scouts, after hearing that there was a more mysterious sea city and virtual realm going east, said goodbye to me and decided to go there for adventure. 】

[We parted ways sadly. 】

After sending everyone away, it was time to refresh his physical strength. Zhao Chuanxin finally sent over equipment such as soft gold armor and black puppet craftsman.

Looking at the soft gold armor with messy black and white lines but smooth lines, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly felt that it was perfect except for the ugly color.

The soft golden armor stood on the ground, seemingly covering the entire body, with no part of it exposed from head to toe.

Zhao Chuanxin was hesitating about how to wear it. Xingyue controlled the black puppet craftsman to climb to the neck of the soft gold armor, twisting its exaggerated joints around it, and the soft gold armor automatically split from the back.

Zhao Chuanxin tiptoed in in surprise. The soft gold armor closed the back spine and fit tightly.

A line of words appeared on the devil's vision goggles that had been replaced by soft gold armor: I am Xingyue...
