The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

It can't be said that Zhao Chuanxin had murderous thoughts. It was just that he had developed conditioned reflexes in his muscles by fighting against the virtual desert emperor on weekdays.

As soon as the Japanese samurai drew his sword, Zhao Chuanxin instinctively used his hands to trace the shape, cut off the pulse, and clamp his wrist.

Haha, the last thing in Zhao's life was to see someone draw a sword.

The Japanese samurai was far from having the unparalleled swordsmanship of the Desert Emperor. Zhao Chuanxin held down the back of his hand and exerted force several times. His face turned red and his neck became thick, but his hand seemed to be welded to the handle of the sword and he could not move.

He raised his head suddenly and looked at Zhao Chuanxin fiercely.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly realized, it turns out that with this little ability, he almost killed someone, so wouldn't that reveal his secret?

So he took a step back, released his hand at the same time, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Pull out, you pull out, you continue."

Japanese samurai: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin put his hands in his pockets again: "It's up to you, really."

Japanese samurai: "..."

Maybe I feel that my skills are inferior to others, which is embarrassing.

He thrust the knife back angrily, snorted and said nothing.

When Zhao Chuanxin saw that he had ceased his activities, he cheerfully asked a local fisherman who was sorting seaweed next to him: "Is seaweed a medicinal material?"

When the fishermen saw that Zhao Chuanxin had eaten up the Japanese, they were very happy. Hearing this, he immediately replied: "This strong man, Hairencao is a good medicine for repelling insects. You see, if this man is thin, he must have worms in his belly, and future generations of dewormers will Be fat, otherwise the oil and water will be eaten by insects. However, if you take too much seaweed, it is poisonous and you will not be able to urinate..."

The Japanese samurai suddenly yelled: "Work quickly and stop talking nonsense!"

The fisherman's neck shrank.

The Okinawan fishermen who were diving did have to wait and take more than ten minutes to surface, and they didn't know how they were holding back their breath.

He took out the collected seaweed, sea flowers, snails, etc., and asked people to lift the basket ashore with a rope tied with a hook.

Zhao Chuanxin took a look and saw piles of seaweed drying in an open space fifty meters away, along with dead cockroaches and flies.

Xingyue said that this thing can be sold at a high price in the Brilliant Oasis. I don’t know if it’s the characteristic of beating roundworms or the function of poisoning flies that makes it valuable.

No matter what, Zhao Chuanxin walked that way.

Another Japanese samurai stationed at the warehouse cursed: "What are you doing?"

Zhao Chuanxin stretched his head and took a look into the warehouse: "I don't want to do anything, just take a look."

Japanese samurai: "..."

Look at you being paralyzed!

He yelled and pushed Zhao Chuanxin, but Zhao Chuanxin didn't move at all, but he staggered backward.

The Japanese samurai was furious and immediately drew his sword.

Zhao Chuanxin's face was full of panic: "Don't kill me, oh, someone is going to die..."

Then he ran backwards, as if he was in a panic and almost fell down several times.

When the Japanese samurai saw it, he sneered in his heart and decided to teach this guy a lesson, so he chased after him.

The island was not big, so Zhao Chuanxin used both hands and feet to run around in a circle and ran back to the warehouse, diving in headfirst.

After the Japanese samurai chased in fiercely, Zhao Chuanxin was nowhere to be seen.

He sneered and searched carefully. Wouldn't running here be a dead end?

But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find Zhao Chuanxin, so he stabbed the dried sea hay randomly with a knife.

Unexpectedly, the Ganhairen haystack suddenly collapsed, raising a large amount of dust.

"Ahem..."

When the flying dust fell to the ground, the Japanese samurai felt something was wrong.

Why, there seems to be a lot of seaweed missing? Why does the haystack seem to be hollowed out?

About three minutes later, Zhao Chuanxin appeared at the northern reef, taking out the deck chair and the bamboo fishing rod that he had just brought from the warehouse where the seaweed hay was stacked.

Yes, he took away the fishing rod, and the gift of the fishing rod was a large amount of seaweed...

Zhao Chuanxin casually caught a squid in the crevice of the reef. Even the inkjet could not stop Xingyue's detection. Zhao Chuanxin cut the squid into eight pieces and hung bait on it.

Zhao Chuanxin was not a fisherman, had little practical experience, and was poorly equipped. Among the six weapons mentioned in the Song Dynasty's "Questions and Answers on Fishermen and Woodcutter", Zhao Chuanxin only accounted for four of the six weapons: rod, lun, float, sinker, hook, and bait.

He was better than Xingyue, who directly gave the topographic map of the shallow reef and the location of the fishhook.

He lay down, threw the hook out, and waited as long as it didn't hit the bottom.

The bottom of the lounge chair was soaked in the sea, and the rising waves just passed under the chair and would not wet Zhao Chuanxin's clothes.

He lay with his feet soaked in the sea water, lowered the brim of his hat, and looked at the picture of a sea wolf biting a hook in the sea shown by Xingyue, which was rare for him to relax.

Zhao Chuanxin thought: Are he looking for a place where no one recognizes him as a vacation spot?

He actually loves the excitement. There are quite a few uninhabited areas in the country at this time, but staying in the wilderness for a day will be refreshing, but staying for a long time will make it boring.

So it's better to be somewhere where there are people and no one recognizes him yet.

The most outrageous thing about Xingyue is that many times, it can understand Zhao Chuanxin's thoughts.

For example, at this time, Xingyue said: The seventeenth singularity axiom in the sea city virtual realm is a public axiom - the surface world has the certainty of energy, but the hidden world has the uncertainty of energy fluctuations. For example, the power of faith used by your old holy altar, your flash distance, is directly proportional to the power of faith, and will never change. But in the hidden world, when energy fluctuations occur, your flash distance may break through the normal distance. This is called probabilistic breakthrough of energy potential barriers, also called energy tunneling. The energy of the hidden world has the attribute of spin. If you go to the hidden world, you will also become energy. You will see countless positive and negative spin superposition states. When the energy you represent affects the energy of the surface world, You represent the collapse of the spin attribute. At this time, the energy attribute of the surface world can be determined. Theoretically speaking, if you use the power of faith to flash one meter, you will never be able to flash two meters, because only when the energy of countless spins of the power of faith in the hidden world rises and falls at the same time can it flash two meters or further. Currently, there is only one person in the world who has mastered this energy fluctuation and convergence rune, but only one rune fragment can be given to one person at a time, and there is no certainty. It can only be said that he can provide a possibility. This man is the leader of the rebels who have resisted the Desert Emperor for hundreds of years.

Zhao Chuanxin was a little confused: "But why are you telling me this?"

Xingyue replied: Because you were thinking just now, if there is a place where no one recognizes you, you can pop up and rest at any time when you are tired. Only the energy fluctuation and convergence rune in the hands of the rebel leader can do this. As long as he agrees to give you the rune fragments, you may have the ability to teleport to a fixed end of the world with the power of faith required to teleport 1 meter. With the same amount of faith, you can return to where you were.

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up: "Then I can teleport anywhere and anytime? Is it no problem to teleport dozens of times a day?"

Immediately, he touched his chin and said to himself: "That's not right. If I were teleported to an alien planet where there is no air, wouldn't I have to explode myself?"

The air pressure in the body can burst a person in a vacuum.

Xingyue said: That's impossible. Because of some energy conservation reasons, you can only be positioned to the places you have been, maybe to Hankou, maybe to the vast sea, or the mid-air where you jumped from the roof every time. Fall...

Zhao Chuanxin often dives into the sea dozens or hundreds of meters deep. Doesn't that mean that he may flash into the dark sea water?

This is fucked up.

There is no problem in gradually diving into the sea, but the sudden pressure of the sea water may be unbearable even for him.

Xingyue noticed his thoughts again and said: So, even if you have the energy fluctuation and convergence rune fragments, you can only use them after I transform the soft gold armor for you. You only have one chance.

Zhao Chuanxin's mind was also very flexible. He quickly asked: "Does that mean that where I want to locate, I have to go there more times?"

Xingyue said: No, this is random positioning. But you'd better go to as many beautiful places as possible to increase the probability of locating in a blessed place. Otherwise, your trajectory will mostly be in poor mountains and rivers, and there is a high probability that you won't get what you want.

Zhao Chuanxin thought of some possibilities and couldn't help but feel cold. Then he thought of some possibilities again, and a lewd smile appeared on his face.

Xingyue may have guessed what he was thinking, but she was wise enough not to speak, otherwise she might be scolded bloody.

Several of Zhao Chuanxin's baits were taken away by the fish, and none of them were caught.

He was so angry that he wanted to dive and catch it himself.

But then he thought of something, and he immediately gave up the idea of ​​diving to catch fish, rinsed his body with fresh water, and flashed back to Bagong's house in Hankou.

…

The news that the Shikoku Maru was hit by artillery shells and the Yakaze was beaten into a sieve was spread to the bay by lifeboats, and then to the other side by telegraph.

Laikawa Qianzhi, who was proud of having defeated Zhang Renjun, felt like he was struck by lightning after receiving the telegram from his subordinates.

He stood up suddenly: "What? Who did this?"

The subordinate shook his head: "I asked. It is said that it was not the Qing Navy. They did not fire a cannon. Instead, we fired a cannon at them. This is an invisible gunboat, and it may have ultra-long-range attack capabilities."

Being able to beat the Yakaze to pieces at sea, what is it but a battleship? Normally, no one would have thought that the culprit was just one person.

How could one person fire so many guns, let alone fire at sea.

In future generations, people may only be surprised but not shocked.

Because there are endless means of ultra-long-distance attacks.

But at this time, not even a battle has started, which is a bit shocking.

Laikawa Qianzhi was pacing back and forth, his face turning green and red.

Damn, I just beat Zhang Renjun half to death during the day, and he was slapped in the face right away!

The subordinate said cautiously: "Maybe, maybe, there is a possibility that it is the work of ghosts and gods. The ghost ship spread in the West..."

"Baga, you have a head on your butt, that's why you have such thoughts." Laikawa Qianzhi doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.

But after saying that, he was suddenly stunned.

He asked his subordinates: "Where is Zhao Chuanxin? In Hankou?"

Speaking of ghosts and gods, everyone said that Zhao Chuanxin had unpredictable powers.

Could it be him?

The subordinate was also stunned: "Well... that should be the case. I received a telegram from Consul Ueno before. Zhao Chuanxin is undoubtedly in Hankou."

Laikawa Qianzhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a ferocious expression: "Quick, go and send a telegram to the Hankou consulate and ask Ueno to go and see if Zhao Chuanxin is in Hankou."

The subordinates took the order and left in a hurry.

Yaikawa Asahi walked a few more steps and said to himself: "No, even if this matter was not done by the Qing navy, they must be the culprits!"

His eyes sparkled with conspiracy.

…

Today, Zhao Chuanxin treated Liu Huaqiang and the others to five small native chickens.

Of course, the reason for the chicken treat was that Zhao Chuanxin wanted to eat chicken wings.

He removed the wings, combs, buttocks and other "weak" parts of five chickens and stewed the mushrooms separately.

The chicken wings were so stewed that they fell off the bone.

Zhao Chuanxin only needed to say a word, and his skin and flesh were separated from his bones.

There is no lean meat, so it is not firewood and just right.

The mushrooms were not so soft, so he ate them wholeheartedly.

Gobble it up and look a bit ugly.

Zhao Chuanxin patted his stomach to comfort himself: "A man of tiger and wolf, what can I do if I don't gobble it up?"

Just after dinner, there was a hurried knock on the door.

Zhao Chuanxin stood up lazily and went to open the door.

He saw Liu Huaqiang and Ueno standing attentively outside the door.

Liu Huaqiang had a helpless expression on his face as he explained: "Principal, he insists on looking for you, and he won't leave unless you show up."

Because Zhao Chuanxin had previously told him - don't bother him if you have nothing to do tonight.

Zhao Chuanxin was worried that a war would start in Rune City tonight.

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at Ueno and said calmly: "Is there another victim of the great powers in your Japanese Concession? Call the person involved, five thousand oceans, and I will make friends with him."

Ueno: "..."

Collecting money is addictive, right?

He rolled his eyes and bowed to Zhao Chuanxin: "I came here today mainly because Mr. Zhao helped Ishida Teruichi of Gongxingyangzhan. I am very grateful to Mr. Zhao for his generous help."

"Oh?" Zhao Chuanxin raised his eyebrows and figured out why Ueno came to visit. "Since you are here to thank me, how many large thank-you gifts have you prepared? My teeth are not in good condition recently, so I just want to eat something soft, such as chicken wings and chicken combs. These things cost money."

News from the sea must have reached the shore and suspicion was raised on him.

Liu Huaqiang next to him nodded: "What the principal said is true."

He had just finished eating the chicken with the comb, wings and butt removed...

Ueno: "..."

He smiled awkwardly: "I came here in a hurry to thank Mr. Zhao. I left in a hurry without bringing a gift. Please forgive me."

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes narrowed, and he said with murderous intent: "That doesn't matter. Outsiders praise Zhao as a very loyal young man who doesn't cause trouble to Zhao Tangong. It doesn't matter if you don't bring him with you. I can let Liu Huaqiang go with you." Come and get it from your house, you don’t have to make another trip."

Liu Huaqiang: "..."

Ueno: "..."

Thank you, you are so kind.

Ueno Zhenyi came to visit this time with a guilty conscience.

The Japanese Consul General in Guangdong, Asahi Raikawa, asked him to explore the truth. He had no excuse and could only rely on Ishida Teruyuki's excuse.

Unexpectedly, he was blackmailed by Zhao Chuanxin again.

Facing Zhao Chuanxin's murderous gaze, Ueno swallowed his saliva: "Then, then, then..."

Liu Huaqiang reluctantly followed Ueno away.

People in this era are concerned about face.

Zhao Chuanxin's greedy face made Liu Huaqiang very embarrassed.

However, Zhao Chuanxin sneered: "You're a bitch, you have no face, no evidence, you can't blame me."

Liu Huaqiang followed Ueno Zenyi back to the Japanese Concession Consulate, and Ueno Zenyi was heartbroken and took 200 yen.

Liu Huaqiang looked at the money in his hand, coughed and frowned: "Ueno, I advise you to show appreciation. I will take this little money back. I'm afraid the principal will think that I secretly spent money on education."

He deliberately emphasized the "education money".

Don’t you Japanese understand who the principal is?

"..." Ueno returned to the house with great determination, and took another three hundred to round it up.

Five hundred can’t be too little, right?

Liu Huaqiang sighed and patted Ueno on the shoulder: "Take care, and don't visit us if you have nothing to do. It won't be good for you."

Ueno's nose felt so dizzy.

After Liu Huaqiang left, Ueno hurriedly sent a telegram to Yaikawa Asano.

In addition to telling him that Zhao Chuanxin was at Bagong's house in Hankou, he also asked Laikawa Qianzhi for 500 yuan for "exploration funds."

Laikawa Qianzhi, who was far away in Guangdong, was deep in thought while holding the telegram.

Of course, what he was thinking about was not the five hundred yuan fund, but Zhao Chuanxin's stay in Hankou.

There was no way Ueno could lie to him.

So, who attacked the Shikoku Maru and Yakaze gunboats at sea?

Puzzled.

As a dead Taoist but not a poor Taoist, Laikawa Qianzhi had no feelings about the martyrdom of his compatriots, but he decided that he must frame Zhang Renjun tomorrow to kill the cannon fired by the Qing navy, and he must cut some flesh from the Qing Dynasty.

At Bagong's house in Hankou, Zhao Chuanxin closed the door tightly and opened the "Old God Codex" with a little excitement.

There's going to be a war, can we fish in troubled waters?
